The Company’s Board of Directors has also resolved to formally institute the new Nomination Committee, as announced in the Corporate Governance Report and in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, with the aim of making it operational by the end of the term in office of the present Board of Directors.

The new Committee is composed of the following Directors, most of which are independent:

Giovanni De Gennaro            (Chairman)

Paolo Cantarella                    (Independent)

Giovanni Catanzaro               (Independent)

Silvia Merlo                            (Independent) 

Francesco Parlato

Lastly, the Board of Directors has carried out the periodic review of the “Procedure for Related Party Transactions”, approved on 26.11.2010 and subsequently updated on 13.12.2011, as set forth in the Procedure and recommended by the Italian stock exchange regulator, Consob.

In addition to updates concerning changes in the organisational structure of the Company, the Board (following unanimous favourable opinion by the Control and Risks Committee acting as Committee for Related Parties Transactions ) approved changes suggested by practice and by the experience gained in the first implementation phase of the procedure, among which special attention should be given to: the extended notion of “Related Parties”, with the consequent application of the Procedure also to the members of the Surveillance Body; the introduction of periodic information flows to the Board of Directors and to the Committee about Transactions of Greater Importance that benefited from the exemption provided for Regular Transactions closed under market-equivalent or standard terms; the extended scope of application of differentiated and reduced “Smaller Amounts” thresholds to transactions entered into with individual parties.

The updated Procedure is available on the Finmeccanica Website: www.finmeccanica.com (Governance section, Related Parties area).
