FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
When are Mediobanca's Annual General Meetings held?
AGMs to adopt the bank's accounts are generally held on 28 October of each year. Check the Calendar of events to see when the next AGM is to be held.
What do I have to do to attend an AGM or be represented by proxy?
You are entitled to attend if you produce proof of share ownership in the form of a declaration issued by the authorized intermediary with which your shares are deposited.
If your shares are still represented by certificates you may attend an AGM, provided you surrender your certificates to an authorized intermediary in time for them to be booked for trading in dematerialized form and for the declaration to be issued. Remember that the securities are unavailable from the date on which the certificate is released until the date on which the AGM takes place.
If you wish to be represented by a proxy, you should complete the proxy form on the declaration, giving particulars of the proxy, and sign it.
