MILAN, April 9, 2021 – Salini Costruttori and CDP Equity will jointly propose to Webuild shareholders at the general assembly scheduled for April 30, 2021, a list of 14 candidates including six women for the new board of directors for the 2021-2023 period.

The list of candidates, which includes nine independents, emphasises continuity (with existing board members Donato Iacovone, Pietro Salini, Pierpaolo Di Stefano, Nicola Greco, Marina Natale and Alessandro Salini) with renewal (with eight new candidates, including Davide Croff, Barbara Marinali, Flavia Mazzarella, Teresa Naddeo, Serena Maria Torielli, Tommaso Sabato, Michele Valensise and Laura Zanetti). The candidates come from diverse professional backgrounds in sectors including banking, academia, business and the public sector.

The renewal of the board of directors follows the successful completion of the first phase of Progetto Italia, the industrial operation to consolidate the infrastructure sector in Italy that led to Webuild’s acquisition of Astaldi with the support of CDP Equity, Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit e Banco BPM. The operation has bolstered the Group’s scale, improved its competitiveness and increased its activities in Italy, establishing a more extensive presence in its domestic market, much like its foreign peers in their respective home countries.

The strengthening of Webuild has helped keep open strategic construction sites for the sustainable development of the country despite the pandemic, with investments in innovation and safety. The Group was also able to protect and create jobs, and support the small- and medium-sized business that make up the supply chain with which it collaborates.
