The Offer shall be made exclusively to the general public in Italy, and not to any international market, with the specific, but not exhaustive, exclusion of any offer, or invitation to bid, or promotional activity regarding the Financial Instruments, in the United States of America, Canada, Australia, Japan or any other country in which such acts are not permitted unless accompanied by specific exemptions or authorizations from the appointed authorities (the “Other Countries”).

The Offer shall not be valid in the United States of America, nor shall it be made to any US citizen or individual resident in the United States of America, or to any individual from whom tax is due in the United States of America, and the documents pertaining to the Offer may not be distributed in the United States of America.

The Financial Instruments constituting the object of the Offer have not been, nor shall be, registered in accordance with the 1933 United States Securities Act as subsequently amended, or in accordance with any financial regulation or law in force in any of the States within the United States of America. Nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or any other supervisory body in the United States, approved or withheld approval of the issue and/or the Offer of the Financial Instruments, or has ruled on the accuracy or inaccuracy of the Prospectus and/or the Final Conditions.
