Other resolutions of the Board The Board of Directors has appointed the chairman Stefano Neri as CEO and confirmed the powers of the executive director Monica Federici. The Board has also verified the existence of independence requirements by Domenico De Marinis. The Board of Directors of Italeaf, in line with the guidance of progressive reduction of NFP, has also approved an agreement for the bank debt restructuring of about Euro 8 million with Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A., that provides - inter alia - a modification of the technical forms of loan, with the improvement of the economic conditions applied. The agreement provides, in fact, a halving of annual interest expense of approximately Euro 0.4 million for the same loan. From a financial point of view, Italeaf's commitment will be substantially unchanged from the current situation, taking into account the gradual capital reimbursement. The current guarantee structure that already attends this loan has been confirmed, and provides for pledge on TerniEnergia shares for a countervalue of about Euro 9 million. The agreement also provides for Italeaf's commitment to an extraordinary capital repayment equal to 50% of the distributed dividends if the Shareholders' Meeting decides on the distribution of dividends.
