Turin, April 21 2026 – The Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Italgas was held today in Turin under the chairmanship of Paolo Ciocca, with 76,74% of the share capital represented.  

Paolo Ciocca, Chairman of Italgas, commented:

The Group’s outstanding performance in 2025 reflects a robust growth model, strengthened by the significant contribution of the integration of 2i Rete Gas. The results show an improvement across all the main economic and financial indicators and enabled us to propose the payment of a dividend equal to €0.432 per share, up 13.3%1 compared to last year. A concrete sign of attention to shareholders’ remuneration and confidence in the Group’s growth prospects”.  

Paolo Gallo, CEO of Italgas, commented:

In 2025, we successfully launched a new phase of growth for Italgas. A path that will lead us to consolidate our  European leadership in the sector, opening up  even  stronger prospects  for the future.

We continue to invest in the development and digitalization of infrastructure, leveraging innovation and artificial intelligence as strategic drivers to achieve our business and sustainability objectives. This is even more important in a constantly evolving international scenario in which the gas network is a key factor in energy security as well as an enabler of the transition.

The Group’s growth is also reflected in the creation of value for investors and shareholders, as demonstrated by the proposed dividend increase. A virtuous path which also includes the excellent result of the first cycle of the Employee Share Ownership Plan, which demonstrates the active participation of our people in the Company’s growth. .
