Once the term expired, only one list was presented for the renewal of Cattolica Assicurazioni's Board of Directors, which will be voted on at the next shareholders' meeting on 13 April. The list is the one presented by the outgoing Board of Directors, which sees the confirmation of Paolo Bedoni as chairman and Alberto Minali as managing director of the Veronese group. No list was therefore presented by the first shareholder of the company, who also became a shareholder two months ago: the American financier Warren Buffett, through General Reinsurance AG, a company of his Berkshire Hathaway fund, which currently holds more than 9% of Cattolica's capital . The fourteen names to be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for the renewal of the Board of Directors are therefore: Bedoni Paolo, Minali Alberto, Blasevich Barbara, Caldana Piergiuseppe, Campedelli Bettina, Castelletti Luigi, de' Stefani Chiara, Giacometti Rosella, Lai Alessandro, Napoleoni Carlo, Poli Aldo, Riello Pierantonio, Strazzera Anna, Vanda Eugenio.
Candidates for the position of member of the Management Control Committee are: Glisenti Giovanni, Brena Cesare and Bonato Federica. The list, published in the legal form and proposed by the Board of Directors in compliance with current regulatory and statutory provisions, "intends to implement the current best practice of governance, taking into account the recommendations formulated by the sector Supervisory Authority as implemented in the "Guidelines on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board of
Administration” – explains a note from Cattolica -. These guidelines, already made public by the company, include the policy on the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements of corporate representatives, consistent with the Guidelines on the governance system issued by EIOPA".
“Furthermore – continues the note -, in the peculiar moment of profound change of governance of the company towards the more modern one-tier model, which primarily involves the composition and size of the Board reduced to 17 members and without territorial restrictions of any kind, the presence of diversified skills was considered and with a weighted balance between the members, together with the the need for a suitable number of independent directors and gender representatives, the latter as required by law and by the provisions of the Articles of Association in force. The Board still in office, with the list published today, believes that it has worked unanimously, in the pre-eminent social interest, with the aim of reaching a new body, both for administration and control, with adequate and varied professional profiles and elements of innovation”.
