Retail shareholders
In Generali we have a significant number of individual investors, the retail shareholders. About a quarter of our share capital is subdivided among them. This is why we have created a section where we can interact with private shareholders and examine issues more closely linked to savings.
Shareholders' meeting
The General Meeting, called at least once a year and open to all those holding at least one Assicurazioni Generali share, is a fundamental aspect of the life of the company, one in which the shareholders have the opportunity to formally interact with the board of directors and management to discuss the main issues that took place during the financial year.
The AGM 2024 was held on the 24 April 2024, and convened without physical attendance of shareholders and exclusively through the presence of the Appointed Representative, taking advantage of the option introduced by art. 106 of Decree-Law No. 18 of 17 March 2020, converted by Law No. 27 of 24 April 2020, the effects of which were extended by Law No. 18 of 23 February 2024. Shareholders were given the possibility to cast their vote by conferring a proxy to the Designated Representative, also through a dedicated online portal.
For Generali being close to and with its shareholders is a fundamental and indispensable value. As a consequence, considering the health and legislative picture of the first months of 2020, the Company, being almost the only one among Italian issuers, upgraded its usual webcasting service of the opening speeches by the company’s top management, to a new and different service, reserved to shareholders: the live audio streaming of the full AGM proceedings. This first step was built upon in 2021 when a video streaming service was provided with excellent results: such service was available also in 2024, granting an exclusive opportunity for Generali shareholders.
The recording of opening speeches by the Chairman, Group CEO and Group CFO is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian Sign Language and with Italian subtitles on the Annual General Meeting 2024 – live streaming page.
Shareholders' meeting extended inclusion (SMEI)
In order to overcome the physical, communicative and sensorial barriers that may prevent the participation of some shareholders in the General Meeting, Generali has launched, since 2016, the Shareholders' Meeting Extended Inclusion (SMEI) program.
Supported by the enthusiasm and dedication of the volunteers of our Group and the collaboration of trained assistance professionals, the SMEI Program has developed over time, through the provision of a growing number of services, always oriented towards the inclusion of all shareholders with respect to that central moment in the life of the Company which is the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders unit
In order to guarantee that also retail shareholders have a direct contact point in Assicurazioni Generali, the Company adds to its Investor Relations office, managing relations with institutional shareholders and analysts, the Shareholders Unit, dedicated to relations with retail shareholders. Contact info for this unit is available in the Investors\Contacts section.
Generali's engagement to keep its shareholders up to date and in contact
Generali strongly believes in the value of the trust shown by tens of thousands private investors that make up the base of its shareholder structure and as a consequence is focused on supplying a continuous and detailed stream of information, in particular in important moments of the Company’s life. This focus and conviction are embodied by various documents, published periodically or on particular occasions and designed with retail shareholders’ needs in mind:

Generali Group CFO, Cristiano Borean, said: “In the first quarter of 2024 Generali delivered continued growth of its operating result, thanks to the solid contribution of all business segments. The Group achieved positive Life net inflows, built on our strategic decision to focus on protection and unit-linked lines and the commercial actions implemented during 2023. The P&C segment also benefits from the consolidation of Liberty Seguros for the first time, an acquisition which is already contributing positively to the Group’s earnings profile. Thanks to our diversified insurance and asset management model and solid capital position, driven by strong normalised capital generation, we remain fully on-track to meet all the targets of our ‘Lifetime Partner 24: Driving Growth’ strategy.”
