EPH also goes down, in the red by 9.1 percent. The company informed that it has received the resignation, effective immediately, of the chairman of the supervisory board, Jean-Paule Castagno, and the member of the company's supervisory board, Fabio Meda, who were appointed by the board last November.

Earlier, all the members of the company's board of auditors had resigned-the chairman, Antonio Marra, and the e?ective auditors, Emilia Baggini and Alessandro Taddeo, announced their resignation from their respective positions.

In addition, the negative situation of the former ePrice led Negma Group Investment Ltd to propose a change of rupture for the company, starting with the replacement of the board of directors.

In a statement issued by EPH after the communication received from the investor, it is stated that Negma manifested that since it specializes in financing transactions in companies facing corporate turnarounds through convertible bonds, the shares of which are then sold by Negma to the market or strategic investors during the implementation of such turnarounds, in the case of EPH this was not possible due to the substantial absence of interest from the market and strategic investors.

This, according to Negma, is evidenced by both the low trading volume of the company's shares on the stock exchange and the substantial absence of parties interested in acquiring control under the current conditions and lack of prospects.
