As per Article 2-ter of the Regulation adopted with CONSOB motion No. 11971 of May 14, 1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation"), it is announced that Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini S.p.A. ("Fila") now qualifies as an "SME" in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 1, letter wquater.1), of Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998 (the “CFA"), as the market capitalisation of Fila relating to the year 2020 (calculated in compliance with Article 2-ter, paragraph 1, of the Issuers' Regulations) was lower than the threshold established by Article 1, paragraph 1, letter wquater.1), of the Consolidated Finance Act.
In light of this, Fila has been included in the list of “SME issuers of listed shares", updated to January 31, 2021, published by CONSOB on its website at www.consob.it/web/area-pubblica/emittentiquotati-pmi.
The acquisition of "SME" status by Fila requires the raising of the minimum threshold for significant shareholdings, to be communicated as per Article 120 of the Consolidated Finance Act, from 3% to 5% of the voting share capital.
