The Board of Directors of Avio has appointed Mr. Giulio Ranzo as Chief Executive Officer, granting him powers for the management of the Company, without prejudice to his role as General Manager previously conferred.

The Board of Directors approved the powers’ structure, designating the Chairman with the power to supervise audit activities (although the head of said function continues to report hierarchically to the Board of Directors), to drive and oversee the application of corporate governance rules concerning the activities of the Board of Directors and to maintain, in agreement and coordination with the Chief Executive Officer, relations with institutional bodies and authorities. The Chief Executive Officer has been granted all powers for the administration of the Company, except for those assigned by applicable legislation, by the By-laws or maintained by the Board within the scope of its powers. Mr. Ranzo also maintains the role of General Manager, whose powers were defined by today’s Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors decided to postpone to the next Board meeting the verification of the independence requirements of the Directors, together with the verification of the other requirements provided for by the applicable regulations. 

The Board of Directors also acknowledged that the Board of Statutory Auditors has, as of today, carried out a self-assessment, in accordance with Recommendation 9 of the Corporate Governance Code, confirming that each Statutory Auditor meets the independence requirements.
