Approval of the Treasury share purchase and/or sale plan
The Shareholders’ Meeting authorised a new treasury share purchase programme, by withdrawing the current one as approved in the Shareholders' Meeting on 21 April 2016: the main objective of this plan is the purchase of shares to service the share incentive schemes, transactions aimed at acquiring stakes in new companies, extraordinary financing operations and/or agreements with strategic partners.
The plan will last for 18 months from the approval date, for a maximum of 1,869,564 ordinary shares (equal to 19.9892% of the current share capital) with a nominal value of 0.52 Euros each for a maximum nominal value of 972,173.28 Euros, with a maximum financial commitment of 50 million Euros. The purchase price cannot exceed the official price of the transactions recorded on the MTA market the day prior to the purchase, increased by 15%.
Approval of the Remuneration Report
The Meeting has also approved Section I of the Remuneration Report pursuant to art. 123-third of Legislative Decree 58/1998.
"The year 2016 was characterised by major changes within companies: there is no industrial, processing or services sector that has not rethought its own processes, redesigning them based on technology and digital components," said Mario Rizzante, Chairman of Reply.
"The paradigm shift," continues Mario Rizzante, "did not, however, only affect end customers, but also the consulting companies, which had to radically renew and extend their product portfolios, both in terms of skill-sets as well as partnership ecosystems, re-aligning them with new and more complex requirements."
Mario Rizzante concludes, "Today, Reply is one of the few players to be able to offer a diverse skill-set, extending the boundaries of traditional consulting, adapting it to the requests of a new world in which the barrier between physical and digital is removed and where the component of technological innovation changes from an enabling factor to a strategic lever of success for companies."
Pursuant to Paragraph 2, Article 154 bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, Director Dr. Giuseppe Veneziano declares that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to the accounting figures, books and documents.

Access Advance Announces HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Pricing through 203022.7.2025 02:00:00 CEST | Press release
Access Advance LLC (“Advance”) today announced the results of several significant decisions by the Licensors in both the HEVC Advance and VVC Advance Patent Pools. Both patent pools opted to maintain their current royalty rates and caps for Licensees who sign before December 31, 2025, and to extend an incentive that aligns the royalty caps for Advance’s Multi-Codec Bridging Agreement (“MCBA”) and the VVC Advance Patent Pool for Licensees who sign the MCBA during the same period. The result is that Licensees who join the HEVC Advance program, gaining access to more than 27,000 patents, on or before December 31, 2025, can lock in current rates and caps through 2030. This protection applies both to ongoing royalty obligations and calculation of royalties due for past sales. Additionally, both current and new HEVC Advance Licensees who join the VVC Advance Patent Pool and execute the MCBA by December 31, 2025, will enjoy MCBA royalty caps that match the royalty caps for the VVC Advance pro
