Paolo Gallo, CEO of Italgas, commented:

“Today’s Shareholders’ Meeting provides an opportunity for us to evaluate these six years of uninterrupted growth which also represent the best conditions for moving forward in the same direction. The digital transformation of assets and processes, together with the reskilling of people, have profoundly changed the DNA of this Company, while staying true to its own roots. We have strengthened our leadership and role as an international benchmark, despite the great difficulties the world is facing at this particular point in history. For that I would like to thank Italgas’ Shareholders for sharing our objectives, for appreciating the action we have taken thus far and for the confidence they’ have shown in me which has allowed me to continue leading Italgas in this particular turning point for the energy sector and achieving climate targets”.

As permitted under art. 106 of Decree-Law No. 18/2020, converted with amendments by Law No. 27/2020 (extended by Decree-Law No. 228/2021, converted by Law No. 15/2022), the Shareholders’ Meeting took place exclusively through the Designated Representative pursuant to art. 135-undecies of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (“CLF”).
