Below the Annex 3F on the purchases of Treasury Shares in November 2024 to service the Performance Share Plans.

The Electa publishing house is proposing a new project for the Electaphoto monograph series dedicated to leading contemporary photographers. Alongside the most famous names, there is also a series of little-known photographers, brought to light by careful studies with the aim of telling a ‘cultural’ story about photography in the 20^th and 21^st centuries.

The books, designed to be read and looked at, interweave text and images in a dialogue between languages, offering a new perspective on the photographers’ works and lives.

Mario Dondero (1928-2015)

Archaeologist, art historian and series editor Nunzio Giustozzi, together with Laura Strappa, curator and expert in photography and visual culture, will be the editors of the volume dedicated to internationally renowned Italian photojournalist Mario Dondero.

His monograph, divided into four sections, is distinguished by contributions from the most authoritative voices in journalism and culture, accompanied by a careful and extensive selection of photographs chosen by Dondero himself. This volume is the first comprehensive catalogue of his extraordinary work, organised chronologically and geographically to offer a visual narrative of the political, cultural and social events that shaped the ‘long’ century, chronicled through his lens.

Martha Rocher (1920-1990)

For the first time, Elisa Genovesi, an Italian researcher, and Raffaella Perna, a contemporary art historian and lecturer at the Sapienza University of Rome, will present the work of photographer and artist Martha Rocher, who interpreted the artistic and cultural panorama of 1950s Paris and 1960s Milan.

The selection of more than 250 black-and-white photographs, chosen from more than 1,600 prints kept in her private archive, depict the work and ateliers of the major exponents of the Avant-garde movements, including Yves Klein, Sonia Terk Dalaunay, Meret Oppenheim, and many others, offering an overview of the artistic climate of those years.

Giovanni Chiaramonte (1948-2023)

This series will also include the first major monograph on Giovanni Chiaramonte, the Italian photographer known for his philosophical approach, by internationally renowned Italian art historian Arturo Carlo Quintavalle in collaboration with the artist’s archives.

More than 400 selected photographs, some of his texts and an essay by Paolo Barbaro on Chiaramonte’s photographic focus on architecture have been organically arranged to make this volume complete and unique, testifying to one of the finest and most extraordinary perspectives in contemporary photography.

Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, arrives in Cogoleto (GE) with a new store to offer readers a place dedicated to the world of books and entertainment.

The opening of the Mondadori Bookstore, which is located in the small seaside village that hosts the house of Christopher Columbus, will take place on Thursday 28 November at 4pm. In addition, from 5pm onwards, members of the public will be able to participate in the book signing of Michela Nodari, a writer and educator who lives and works in Cogoleto, author of the illustrated books “Un Natale da Elfo” [A Christmas as an Elf] and “Forse non tutti sanno che” [Maybe not everyone knows that].

This new opening expands the network of Mondadori Store bookstores, in line with its strategy of spreading culture and promoting reading, creating an interactive meeting place and a true cultural presence.

“For us, it is a great opportunity to open a new store together with Mondadori, renewing and relaunching the legacy of the historic Fahrenheit 451 bookstore, which has been a cultural reference point in Cogoleto for several years: we will work together with its creator Tito Ghiglione, who will continue to work in the bookstore, to ensure that the new Mondadori Bookstore remains the pillar of the world of books in the country,” says Stefano Adami, Mondadori Store affiliate and manager of another 7 Mondadori bookstores in Northern Italy.

The new Mondadori bookstore spans 70 m² and has a catalogue of more than 7,000 titles, from great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non-fiction and various other works. Special attention has been given to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and picture books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories, along with a department dedicated to manga and comics, Just Comics. The bookstore’s offer is also expanded by areas dedicated to #BookTok for the new generation of readers, as well as areas for stationery, toys, and gift cards.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Cogoleto also serves readers online: customers can keep up to date through the Instagram and Facebook pages. They will also be able to get in touch with the store through the Mondadoristore.it digital services to check if a book is available, order it and pick it up in store or have it shipped, choosing from a catalogue of over 1 million titles. A telephone ordering service is also available to all customers.

The new Mondadori Bookstore follows the plan for renewal and development of Mondadori Store, the largest bookstore network in Italy, with more than 500 stores in cities and smaller towns. The cultural organization is active throughout the country, online with the e-commerce site Mondadoristore.it and the book club. In addition to books, its primary service, it also provides entertainment, events and multichannel services, reaching more than 20 million customers every year.

Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. (LEI Code 815600049A1F9AFE6666) announces the purchase on the Euronext Milan regulated market, in the period from 25-29 November 2024, of no 50,206 ordinary shares (equal to 0,019% of the share capital) at an average unit price of €2.0807039 for a total amount of €104,463.82.

These transactions were made under the authorization to purchase treasury shares approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of 24 April 2024, and as part of the purchase programme to service the Performance Share Plans underway, the start of which was approved by the Board of Directors on 13 November 2024 (as per the disclosure made on the same date also pursuant to Article 144 bis of CONSOB Regulation 11971/99, and to Article 5 of EU Regulation 596/2014).

The following table details the purchases made per day in the above period of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. ordinary shares, ISIN Code IT0001469383, on a daily basis:

AdKaora and Hej!, the digital companies specialised in mobile advertising and conversational marketing, the core of the Mondadori Media MarTech Hub, continue to develop with the launch of new integrated solutions and enhancement of their teams’ highest professionalism.

AdKaora and Hej! have always based their growth on advanced technologies, data-driven analysis and consultative approach. To better promote the development of further synergy and enhance the different skills, the two entities have now also adopted a new organisational structure.

Davide Tran, Director of Mondadori Media MarTech Hub: ‘AdKaora and Hej! are first and foremost companies made of people. For us, promoting talent with the aim of creating a professional future in which expertise and diversity are increasingly recognised as factors of success is the real push towards innovation. “Never feeling like you’ve arrived” and always being ready to seize market opportunities are the levers leading to the success of the union between the AdKaora and Hej! teams. For us, synergy starts with shared values, such as courage, determination and cooperation, and materialises in overcoming initial difficulties, which are part of all truly innovative projects, due to the continuous study of best practices, sharing of ideas and a desire to go beyond one’s own boundaries. The joint work of all the teams is real added value for the growth of MarTech Hub, which, for the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, is focused on new acquisitions, investments in AI and the entry in new foreign markets in Europe and Latam,’ concluded Tran.

One of the most dynamic and innovation-oriented areas is business intelligence, led by Iolanda Prezio, Head of Digital Media-Ops & BI at AdKaora, which aims to provide targeted insights and data-driven solutions to support informed business decisions. With data analysis and continuous market research, AdKaora works to offer both a clear and detailed overview of business opportunities and increasingly sophisticated tools to improve internal workflows.

The approach of the Media Buying Team, led by Francesca Ianniello, Head of Buying at Hej!, aims to bring the best results to clients, managing campaigns as well as possible on all digital channels involved in the strategies (from social media to search engines).

Clients can also rely on the consolidated experience in campaign management and continuous improvement of the AdKaora Key Account Team, led by Sara D’Apote, Head of Key Account & Agency Relationship Manager, and the Hej! Operation Team, led by Giusy Esposito, Head of Operations.
The goal of the first is to develop innovative strategies to enable customers to finalise new business opportunities.
The second successfully coordinates campaign operations, working with different departments to optimise performance and develop strategic partnerships. In Rome, customer management for Central Italy is entrusted to the sales division, which is led by Marianna De Vita, Head of Sales for Rome and external areas. She is responsible for consolidating the business areas and strengthening the network of relationships with advertisers and media centres, contributing to the cross-cutting development of the MarTech Hub.

Growth and evolution also come from shared values and a solid corporate culture. Audacity, understanding, flexibility and strategic vision have guided MarTech Hub towards an increasingly clear, full-stack and global positioning on the market. Its message is amplified by the Communication and Events Team, led by Giusy Zaccone, Head of Communications, who manages the communication strategy, collaborates in defining the product storytelling and organises key events to enhance networking with partners and customers.

There is also news of MarTech Hub in the tech and IT sector, and its stronger team with the arrival of Nicholas Farinato in the role of Chief Technology Officer. His team aims to carry forward a vision for the international growth of Value Network properties and marketing solutions that AdKaora offers on the market.
In Rome, technological development is instead entrusted to Paolo Molinara, Chief Technology Officer of Hej!, whose twofold goal is to orient the business lines towards innovative solutions that effectively meet market needs while using advanced technology to develop solutions that add tangible value for customers. The overall objective is to create a tech area capable of creating increasingly differentiated assets on the market, as well as fully developing the synergies already established with PLAI, the Mondadori Group startup accelerator.

During the Christmas season, Oxfam Italia and Mondadori Store — the largest network of bookstores in Italy — will lead an important challenge: helping to ensure inclusive and equal education through the project ‘Wrap a book, gift a future’. 

Until December 24, Mondadori Bookstore customers can have their Christmas gifts wrapped by Oxfam volunteers present at bookstores in major Italian cities participating in the initiative, and make a donation to support projects against dropping out of school and educational poverty that Oxfam Italia promotes in socially marginal contexts. Contributions can be made in stores and online at the dedicated website https://www.oxfamitalia.org/mondadori/.

Oxfam has been active for over 20 years in Italy and around the world with programmes to combat educational poverty and spread the principles of education for global citizenship. It believes access to education is essential in the principles of equity and justice, which must be recognised and guaranteed for individuals living in poor and marginalised social, economic, and cultural conditions. These include Italian and foreign minors at risk of dropping out of school, people outside the education and labour system, families in conditions of poverty, and more generally, individuals and groups at risk of social exclusion.

With its ‘Wrap a book, gift a future’ initiative, Oxfam is committed to a long-term path aimed at the most at-risk groups to improve access to sociocultural services for families in great economic difficulty. Indeed, for four years now, Oxfam, with the support of Mondadori Store, has taken concrete action to contribute to equal access in schools. The funds raised in the past three editions were invaluable for supporting thousands of young people in educational recovery programmes and providing motivational and educational support in middle and high schools.

This year’s Oxfam programme will involve more than 120 schools, 5000 students, and hundreds of teachers. Activities include: paths of educational innovation and opportunities for exchange with other European schools; strong support for students at risk of dropping out of school; make-up courses for language and academic skills in various subjects; and linguistic mediation activities aimed at foreign students. Finally, the programme provides for numerous activities to animate and redevelop the spaces used by young people in and out of schools in various cities.

‘In 2023, school dropout rates in Italy fell to 10.5%, down from the previous two years. This is undoubtedly a positive piece of data, as it confirms that the country is progressively approaching the European objectives of reducing school dropout rates to 9% by 2030,’ explains Roberto Barbieri, General Director of Oxfam Italia. ‘However, our country still holds a sad record with a school dropout rate that ranks fifth among the 27 European states and various gaps that urgently need to be addressed. Social, citizenship, gender, and territorial gaps undermine the future path of millions of girls and boys who risk being left in the margins. This is why we want to thank Mondadori Store. This valuable collaboration enables us to amplify the effectiveness of our work in the country,’ Barbieri concludes.

‘Access to culture and education are rights that cannot be denied due to an individual’s economic capacity. It is essential, therefore, that companies, institutions, schools, and private citizens driven by a sense of social and civil responsibility support those who are less fortunate,’ declares Francesco Riganti, Marketing Director of Mondadori Retail. ‘We at Mondadori Store believe in this principle and are proud to carry out this mission to promote culture together with Oxfam through our national network of bookstores in an inclusive and sustainable way, making the most of our coverage to reach even the smallest towns and the outskirts of the largest cities,’ Riganti concludes.

The Mondadori Store and Oxfam initiative is part of the social responsibility path that Mondadori Group has followed for some time, which also includes a series of activities for community support, from promoting reading and education to training and social/healthcare assistance. In 2022, the Group also launched its first three-year Sustainability Plan, in which strategic areas, quantitative and qualitative targets, and short- and medium-term actions aimed at continuously improving its performance in social, governance, and environmental terms were identified, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainability Goals.

Oxfam Italia
Oxfam is a global movement of people who, in 86 countries around the world, fight inequality to overcome poverty. Oxfam saves and rebuilds lives in emergencies, promotes sustainable development, and fights to build a future without inequalities, where the essential rights of everyone, everywhere, are guaranteed and no one is left behind.

Mondadori Store
Mondadori Store is the largest network of bookstores in Italy: a cultural organisation active nationwide with more than 500 stores, across large cities and small towns alike, and online through the e-commerce website Mondadoristore.it and book club. It supports readers and users through a network that combines books — the core offer — with entertainment, events and multi-channel services, reaching more than 20 million customers each year.

Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, makes a new stronghold dedicated to the world of books, culture and entertainment available to the public in Piombino. Tomorrow, at 4 PM, a new bookstore will open in the Corso Italia pedestrian area, just near the city’s historic centre.

“I’m happy to bring this project to life with the Mondadori Store network of bookstores because we share the same goals: to develop places dedicated to culture, making it accessible to everyone and satisfying the tastes of an increasingly diverse audience”, said Giancarlo Giuliani, Mondadori Store affiliate. Piombino is the right city because it attracts so many tourists with its charming historic centre and breathtaking scenery overlooking the island of Elba and the Tuscan archipelago. I want to thank Mondadori Store for its support that has allowed me to return to Piombino with a bookstore, offering the city a new cultural organisation that will serve as a meeting point for readers of all ages, encouraging social interaction and reading”, finished the affiliate who, along with the Giuliani Group, manages another 17 Mondadori Bookstore throughout Italy.

The new Mondadori Bookstore has a floor area of 90 m² and a catalogue of more than 10,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, nonfiction and various other works. Special attention has been given to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and picture books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories, along with a department dedicated to manga and comics, Just Comics. Areas dedicated to #BookTok, for the new generation of readers, as well as stationery, toys and gift cards, also expand the bookstore’s offer.

On the occasion of “International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women” on 25 November, the Mondadori Group stands alongside all abused women with the #InPiediControlLaViolenza project.

The heart of the initiative is the art installation devised by the Mondadori Group with photographer Nicola Ughi and director Tommaso Casigliani to raise awareness about gender-based violence.
On display from 18 to 25 November at Palazzo Niemeyer, the work showcases 100 red chairs, which, in the artists’ vision, become a powerful symbol of collective commitment. In the exhibition only one chair stands upright and open, an emblem of strength and resistance, surrounded by closed “knocked-down” chairs: a silent but powerful tribute to all women whose lives have been interrupted by violence and who fight every day to overcome abuse and injustice.

The project is part of the social responsibility pathway the Mondadori Group has been following for some time, together with publishing houses, digital media, magazines and bookshops: it is an invitation to think about an issue that concerns everyone, and its purpose is to promote a culture based on respect and equality, against all forms of gender-based violence.

“Increasingly, companies are becoming places for social reflection, promoting debate and cultural change, and going beyond their business objectives. As Italy’s leading publishing group, we feel a strong responsibility to continue our commitment through awareness-raising initiatives like #InPiediControLaViolenza,” said Francesca Rigolio, Chief Sustainability Officer at the Mondadori Group. “We believe that the fight against gender-based violence should also be an active part of the workplace and that people’s personal and professional lives should be integrated into a “unified” vision of the human being that considers the individual and the community,” Rigolio concluded.

The #InPiediControLaViolenza awareness-raising project also extends to the lighting at Palazzo Mondadori. Exceptionally, until Monday 25 November, the lights of the arches of Oscar Niemeyer’s iconic building will change colour, turning red in solidarity with abused women and as a symbol of Mondadori’s commitment against gender-based violence.
The evocative video illustrating the art installation and the extraordinary lighting at Palazzo Mondadori will be posted on the Group’s website and social profiles, reaching millions of people and amplifying the message.

Special group media content

Awareness of these issues is also expressed through the Mondadori Group’s media, which are taking an active part in the project with a special program as part of the organisation’s year-round commitment and responsibility.
Specifically, The Wom and Webboh, respectively Mondadori Media’s first 100% inclusive social magazine and the first digital community for the new generations, will offer content to raise awareness about an issue of great current interest. In addition, The Wom website will publish a special feature with analyses, interviews, personal accounts and insights on the topic of gender-based violence.

Meeting for employees and collaborators

The promotion of a culture based on respect and equality, against all forms of gender-based violence, will be examined during a meeting for employees and collaborators entitled “Beliefs and Microaggression. Between Bias and Artificial Intelligence”.
The event will take place tomorrow, Thursday 21 November, as part of Mondadori’s “Diversity & Inclusion” project to foster an inclusive culture and equal opportunities in the organisation. It will explore how cognitive biases influence personal beliefs and generate phenomena like microaggressions, which are often invisible.

The panel will feature Mondadori Group CEO Antonio Porro, and experts in various fields, from neuroscience to psychology, economics and gender equality:

• Raffaella Tonini, Scientist and Research Director at the Laboratory of Cortical and Subcortical Circuit Neuromodulation at the Italian Institute of Technology;
• Vittorio Lingiardi, Psychiatrist, Psychoanalyst, Full Professor at the La Sapienza University in Rome;
• Andrea Notarnicola Cociani, Newton Management Consultant and Chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Global Inclusion Foundation art. 3 ETS;
• Azzurra Rinaldi, Economist, Director of the School of Gender Economics at the University of Rome Unitelma Sapienza.

Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, offers the Foggia bookstore customers an even more attractive and welcoming shopping experience, thanks to a new space that has great historical importance and that complements the current store.

The new Mondadori Bookstore covers 60 m² and is located on Via Guglielmo Oberdan, near Foggia’s historic centre and next to the large spaces of the bookstore (200 m²) that have been there since 2012. The grand opening will take place on 9 November at 6 pm.

To preserve the historical importance of the location, the furnishings have been preserved and restored and the display cases will be visible to give passersby the opportunity to have a glimpse into the store.

The offer for the Mondadori Bookstore in Foggia includes a total catalogue of over 10,000 titles, from great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non-fiction, and various other works. Special attention has been given to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and picture books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories, and a department dedicated to manga and comics, Just Comics. Areas dedicated to #BookTok, for the new generation of readers, as well as stationery, toys and gift cards, also expand the bookstore’s offer.

“We are excited to start this new adventure”, said Marisa Colucci, Mondadori Store affiliate. “Our cultural initiative will try to focus on young people, and we will soon be offering all kinds of workshops, in addition to hosting school groups from primary and lower secondary schools in the city. We also intend to hold a series of presentations with different authors, in order to strengthen the bond with readers”, finished Colucci.
