Legislative Decree No. 25/2016, which transposes Directive 2013/50/EC (implementing amendments to Directive 2004/109/EC - the "Transparency Directive"), removed the obligation upon listed issuers in Italy to publish their interim reports and granted CONSOB the option to require such issuers to publish "additional periodic financial disclosure". In this respect, CONSOB added the new Article 82-ter to the Issuer's Regulation, in force from January 2, 2017, which expressly permits issuers to continue to communicate to the market - entirely on a voluntary basis - "additional periodic financial disclosure" to the annual and half-year reports, in compliance with the principles and application criteria set out by the provision in question.

With particular regard to issuers trading on the STAR segment of the MTA market managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (among which is Prima Industrie), it is noted that the Borsa Regulation however establishes specific and further requirements in terms of disclosure, liquidity and corporate governance.

In particular, Article 2.2.3., paragraph 3 of the Borsa Regulation requires STAR issuers, such as Prima Industrie, to make available to the market their interim reports within forty-five days from the conclusion of the first, third and fourth quarters of the year, while the above-stated issuers are exempted from publication of the fourth quarter report where they make available to the market their annual financial report, together with the other documents required by Article 154-ter, first paragraph of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 ("TUF"), within ninety days from year-end.

With notice No. 7587 of April 21, 2016, Borsa Italiana S.p.A. clarified that Article 2.2.3., paragraph 3, will continue to be applied to STAR issuers. Consequently, the company will continue to make available to the

market its interim reports, as it has occurred to date, making particular reference to the provisions of Article 154-ter, paragraph 5 of the TUF in force prior to transposition of Directive 2013/50/EC and will comply with the principles and application criteria indicated by the new Article 82-ter of the Issuer's Regulation.
