The Board of Directors granted management powers to the Directors and proceeded with the consequent distribution of remuneration among its members as well as the verification of the independence requirements for each Director and the appointment of the two new Key Managers acting in the capacity as Directors.
In addition to the appointment of Nazzareno Gorni as Vice-Chairman, the Board of Directors has appointed both Nazzareno Gorni and Matteo Monfredini as Chief Executive Officers granting to them general management powers of the Company. They are also granted – to establish a new corporate structure in line with best practice guidelines – limited powers to decide matters that do not require the approval of the entire Board due to either substance or value.
Further, the Board of Directors has granted Giandomenico Sica the power to formulate mergers and acquisition proposals in the interest of the Company and delegating such powers as necessary to execute extraordinary transactions (within a specified value).
Accordingly, Matteo Monfredini (Chairman and CEO), Nazzareno Gorni (Vice-Chairman and CEO), and Giandomenico Sica (Director with delegated duties) assume the role of Executive Directors.
Having referred to the documents provided and information within their purview, the Board of Directors verified the independent requirements of the Directors, Micaela Cristina Capelli and Armando Biondi, in accordance with Article 148(3) of Italian Law Decree No. 58/1998 [Consolidated Law on Finance, known as “TUF”].
Lastly, to facilitate establishing the new corporate governance structure of the Group, the Board of Directors has employed, as mangers, Luca Azzali (general manager of the MailUp business unit for the entire sector of the Digital & Email Marketing area) and Alberto Miscia (head of Delivery & Compliance and Data Protection) who are both already Directors and shareholders of MailUp. As a result of appointing the above-named individual as managers, their roles became that of Key Managers thereby requiring compliance with the “procedure for related-party transactions” and prior unanimous favourable opinion by the Independent Directors of MailUp.
The Board of Directors has granted special powers (including to the key mangers mentioned above) for the better management of the Company.
