Relations with shareholders represent an important factor in the life of a company.

The corporate governance model of Intesa Sanpaolo intends to guarantee, with the maximum transparency, a correct balance between the functions of management and control; it has therefore set up, for the protection of shareholders' rights, measures in line with international best practice:

• no need to deposit shares to join the Shareholders' Meetings;
• Code of Ethics;
• one share one vote system.

Intesa Sanpaolo guarantees transparency for its shareholders and the financial community with the aim of providing clear, complete and updated information on the state of the art of strategies and the results obtained, through all the channels and documents available (Annual and Interim Reports, Annual Report on Corporate Governance, press releases and presentations on the market).
