2012 Annual Report - Italcementi Group

The Company may designate a person, giving a clear indication thereof in the notice of call, for each
Shareholders’ Meeting to whom all eligible parties may grant a proxy with voting instructions on all or some of
the proposals on the agenda, in the manner provided for by applicable law.
No Shareholders’ Meeting regulation has been set forth since the broad powers that the law and jurisprudence
recognize to the Chairman, as well as the provision of the By-laws (Art. 13) that expressly gives the Chairman
the power to direct the discussion and establish order and method of the vote, provided it takes place by
recorded vote, were considered adequate tools for the orderly conduct of meetings of shareholders.
With regard to relations with the market, the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, within their respective
responsibilities, provide the general guidelines that the responsible structures should follow in dealing with
institutional investors and other shareholders. To this end, an Investor Relations function whose responsibility
has been entrusted to Mr. Giancarlo Berera was established as part of the Group’s Finance Department.
In particular, upon disclosure of annual, semiannual or quarterly financial statements, the Company organizes
special conference calls with institutional investors and financial analysts, allowing the specialized press to
attend.
Moreover, in order to provide timely and easy access to information concerning the Company and, therefore,
allow the shareholders to consciously exercise their rights, a special section of the Company’s website was set
up, easily identifiable and accessible, where information regarding the Shareholders’ Meetings is given, with
particular reference to the arrangements for attendance and exercise of voting rights at the Shareholders’
Meetings, the documentation relating to items on the agenda, including Reports on the items on the agenda
and the list of candidates for the positions of director and statutory auditor with an indication of their personal
and professional characteristics.
