Furthermore, the Shareholders' Meeting renewed the buy-back authorization granted by the Shareholders on 11 April 2008 for a period ending with the approval of the 2009 accounts. This authorization is granted for the following purposes: use shares for equity acquisitions or as consideration for strategic agreements; allow the company to invest in its own shares; and service current and future stock option plans with existing rather than new shares. The company is allowed to purchase up to 20,000,000 Recordati existing ordinary (common) shares, which includes those shares held in Treasury stock at any given time, for a maximum cash outlay of E 120,000,000.
