The rules approved by the Board of Directors on 11 April 2017 allow assigning two voting rights to each De' Longhi share, instead of one, to reward those shareholders that, by maintaining a stable interest in the Group, prove to be especially sensitive to its growth over the long term.

Enhanced voting rights are assigned to shares owned continuously by the same person for at least 24 months since the date they were added to the relevant Special Register.

To apply for inclusion in the Special Register, shareholders must submit an application through Certified E-Mail to votomaggiorato_computershare@pec.it CC’ing societariodelonghispa@legalmail.it.
