         On the matters to be considered at the ordinary meeting, each ordinary share shall be entitled to one vote and all holders of the ordinary shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") shall vote together as a single class. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least 50% of the voting power represented by outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the date of the meeting will constitute a quorum for the approval of resolutions at the meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting is required to approve the resolutions relating to each item in the Agenda for the ordinary part of the meeting.

         On the matter to be considered at the extraordinary meeting, each Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one vote and all holders of the Ordinary Shares of the Company shall vote together as a single class. On first call, the presence, in person or by proxy, of at least 50% of the share capital as of the day of the meeting will constitute a quorum for the approval of resolutions at the meeting. On second call, the presence, in person or by proxy, of more than one third of the share capital as of the date of the meeting will constitute a quorum for the approval of the resolutions at the meeting. On first call and on second call the affirmative vote of the holders of the Ordinary Shares representing at least two thirds of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting is required to approve the resolution relating to each item in the Agenda for the extraordinary part of the meeting.

         As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. Leonardo Del Vecchio, the Chairman of the Company, has the power to vote 314,403,339 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 67.9% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Such voting power enables Mr. Del Vecchio, without any additional votes, to control the approval of the resolutions to be submitted at the meeting.

         Pursuant to Italian law, certain matters, such as the amendment of the By-Laws, may only be authorized by a resolution adopted at a so-called "extraordinary shareholders' meeting." In addition to the different vote required for the adoption of the resolutions indicated above, an extraordinary meeting differs from an ordinary meeting in that the minutes of the meeting constitute a public deed.

         Set forth below is a description of the matters that will be submitted for approval at the ordinary meeting:
