The Board of Directors of Arnoldo Mondadori S.p.A. today approved a proposal by the company’s Remuneration Committee for the assignment for the year 2008 of the options pertaining to the stock option plan deliberated by the AGM of 26 April 2006 and referring to the three-year period 2006/2007/2008.

In particular, the Board defined the assignment of a total of 2,850,000 options to a total of 69 beneficiaries.

The exercise of options may only be made in a single operation, in the exercise period subsequent to the stipulated thirty-six month vesting period.

2. The motivations for the Plan

2.1 The aims to be achieved by the application of the Plan

The reasons that underlie the Company’s adoption of the Plan are essentially to:

– provide the Company and its subsidiaries with a way of building loyalty among the management and aimed at focusing on the commitment to the attainment of strategic objectives;

– allow management itself, and therefore the Company, to develop an orientation toward the process of value creation.

The scale of the Options to be allocated to each of the Beneficiaries is established by the board of directors, in response to proposals by the Remuneration Committee.

Contextually, the board of directors has established – in line with the criteria outlined in para. 4.19 below – the exercise price and has deliberated the allocation of Options.

The Plan is extended across a period of time of three years (2006/2007/2008) and foresees periods for the exercise of Options subsequent to each year of reference of the plans. Such periods begin after a vesting period of 36 months from the date of the allocation of Options. The length of this last period, as well as being imposed by fiscal regulations with a view to recognising favourable fiscal conditions, is considered appropriate to the realisation of the Plan’s incentive and loyalty objectives.

2.2 Key variables, also in the form of performance indicators considered for the allocation of plans based on financial instruments

The implementation of the Plan, in terms of the effective exercising of the Options allocated to the Beneficiaries, is subordinate – as is outlined in para. 4.5 below – to the achievement of annual performance objectives of business and/or financial nature.

Exercise conditions are applicable to all Beneficiaries and there are therefore no different or particular conditions for different categories of Beneficiary

2.3 Elements underlying the determination of the scale of rewards based on financial instruments, or better, the criteria for its determination

The number of Options awarded to individual Beneficiaries has been determined by evaluating the effective capacity of each individual to effectively impact the attainment of results, on the basis of experience, competence and role within the Company.

2.4 Underlying reasons for the eventual allocation of compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of financial instruments, such as holding or subsidiary companies or third parties; where such instruments are not traded on regulated markets information concerning the criteria used to determine their attributable value

Not applicable.

2.5 Evaluations concerning significant implications of a fiscal or accounting nature that have affected the determination of the Plans

The structure of the Plan was conditioned by current fiscal legislation, in particular:

• the Art. 9, para. 4, a) of the TUIR, determined the calculation of the exercise price for Options, which is equal to the “normal value” of shares when Options are allocated;
• the Art. 51, para. 2-bis of the TUIR, imposed the stipulation of a minimum vesting period of 36 months subsequent to the allocation of Options

2.6 Eventual support for the Plan by the special Fund to provide incentives for employees of the Company, as per Art. 4, para. 112, of law n°350 of 24 December 2003

The Plan receives no support from the special Fund to provide incentives for employees of the Company, as per Art. 4, para. 112, of law n°350 of 24 December 2003

3. Approval process and timing for the allocation of instruments

3.1 / 3.2 The powers and functions attributed by the Shareholders to the board of directors for the implementation of the Plan/indication of those appointed to administer the Plan, their function and competence

As already stated, the Plan was established by and ordinary general meeting of the Shareholders of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. on 26 April 2006. The AGM attributed the functions for the management of the Plan to the board of directors, which operates with the support and in response to the proposals of the Remuneration Committee.

In particular, the board of directors, in agreement with the Remuneration Committee:

a) approves the regulations for the implementation of the Plan and any eventual modifications;

b) presents Plans to the AGM for approval in general outline and any eventual modifications of a significant nature;

c) identifies, in line with the categories indicated by the AGM, the Beneficiaries;

d) allocates Options to the identified Beneficiaries;

e) determines the exercise price for Options in line with the normal value of the shares;

f) identifies and quantifies, for each year length, the performance objectives to be reached before Options may be exercised and verifies that such objectives have effectively been attained;

g) regulates all emerging rights and/or rectifies the conditions of allocation in cases where extraordinary operations are effected on the Company’s share capital as per para. 4.23 below.

3.3 Any existing procedures for the revision of the Plan also in response to changes in the basic objectives

With the exception of that outlined in para. 4.23 below, no procedures are foreseen for the revision of Plan in response to changes in the basic objectives.

Any eventual substantial changes to the Plan that may become necessary in the light of changed business conditions and new Group objectives will be proposed by the board of directors to a General Meeting of the Shareholders.

3.4 Description of the way in which the availability and allocation of the financial instruments underlying the Plan are determined

Allocated Options include the right to purchase – in the ratio of one share (regularly held) for each option exercised – Mondadori ordinary shares already in the portfolio or to be acquired on the basis of authorisation from, in the most recent case, the AGM of 22 April 2008, as per Art. 2357 of the civil code and Art. 144-bis of the Issuers’ Regulations.

3.5 Role of each director in the determination of the characteristics of the mentioned Plans; any grounds for conflicts of interest on the part of directors involved

The characteristics and guidelines for the Plan have been drawn up by the Remuneration Committee and presented to the board of directors before, in turn, being presented to a General Meeting of the Shareholders.

It should be noted that the deliberations of the board of directors concerning, in particular, the identification of Beneficiaries and the allocation of Options, have been adopted:

– in line with the relative proposals made by the Remuneration Committee, which is made up of three non-executive directors who are also not Beneficiaries of the plan;

– with the abstention of interested directors.

3.6 Date decided by the competent body for the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders and any eventual proposal to the aforementioned body formulated by an eventual remuneration committee

The establishment of the Plan for 2006/2007/2008 was presented for approval to the AGM of 26 April 2006 following the decision taken by the board of directors on 14 March 2006 on the basis of the proposal made by the Remuneration Committee on 9 March 2006.

3.7 Date decided by the competent body for the assignment of instruments and any eventual proposal to the aforementioned body formulated by an eventual remuneration committee

The board of directors decided the date for the assignment of Options for the year 2008, indicating also the exercise price, on 19 June 2008 on the basis of the proposal made by the Remuneration Committee on 12 June 2008.

3.8 Market price, recorded on the aforementioned dates, for the financial instruments underlying the Plan, if traded on regulated markets

The market price (reference price) for Mondadori shares recorded on the dates as indicated in paras. 3.6 and 3.7 above, were as follows:

Date Reference price 09/03/2006 7.934 14/03/2006 8.027 12/06/2008 4.288 19/06/2008 3.911

3.9 In the case of plans based on financial instruments traded on regulated markets, in what terms and on what basis does the issuer take account, in the context of the identification of the timing for the allocation of the instruments in pursuance of such plans, of the possible temporal coincidence between:

i) such allocation and eventual decisions taken in this regard by the remuneration committee, and

ii) the circulation of eventual relevant information, as per Art. 114, para. 1; for example, in the case where such information are:

1. a. not already published and liable to have a positive impact on market prices, or even
2. b. already published and liable to have a negative impact on market prices

With regard to the timing of the allocation of Options, reference is made to the dates of the deliberations with which, as indicated above, the board of directors, following a proposal by the Remuneration Committee determined the exercise price for Options and allocated Options to the persons identified as Beneficiaries.

Such deliberations were not adopted at the same time as relevant information was published, as per Art. 114, para. 1 of D. Lgs. 58/1998, in order to avoid significant interference between the impact of such information on market share prices and the definition of the exercise price of the Options.

It should also be noted that the exercise price for Options is in any case defined on the basis of the average share price recorded over a significant period of time, as per Art. 9, para. 4, a) of the TUIR, as is outlined in more detail in para. 4.19 below, thereby reducing the effect of eventual unexpected increases or decreases in the share price.

4. Characteristics of the instruments attributed.

4.1 Description of the form in which plans for compensation based on financial instruments are structured;

The instruments attributed are in the form of Option rights that can be exercised, exclusively in a single operation, and in the exercise period indicated below, for the subsequent purchase, with the obligation for physical delivery, of Mondadori ordinary shares from treasury stock, in the ratio of one share for every Option exercised. In consequence, a stock option.

4.2 / 4.3 / 4.4 Indication of the period for the effective implementation of the plan, with reference also to eventual alternative cycles foreseen / terms of the plan / maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, assigned in every fiscal year for each individual nominated or category indicated

4.5 Terms and conditions for the implementation of the plan, specifically whether the attribution of instruments is subordinate to the verification of certain conditions, or better, the achievement of determined results, also performance based; description of such conditions and results

The regulations for the Plan foresee that the board of directors identify the effective conditions for the exercise of Options attributed to the Beneficiaries with reference to the attainment of performance objectives of a business and/or financial nature on annual basis.

Satisfaction of the conditions for exercising Options is verified by the board of directors, for each year of the length of the Plan, within the first six months of the subsequent year to which the Options pertain.

The board, in agreement with the Remuneration Committee, has identified, as conditions for the exercise of Options, the attainment of performance objectives based on ROE and free-cash flow.

The conditions for exercise apply to all Beneficiaries of the Plans and there are therefore no different conditions for other categories of Beneficiary.

4.6 Indications of any eventual restrictions affecting the attributed instruments or on the instruments deriving from the exercise of options, with particular reference to the terms within which the subsequent transfer to the same company or to third parties is permitted or forbidden

Allocated Options are personal and non-transferable and not available “inter vivos” and may not be pawned or used as a guarantee for the Company or for third parties.

There are no restrictions on the availability of the shares deriving from the exercise of Options.

4.7 Description of any eventual conditions in regard to the attribution of the plans in the case in which beneficiaries effect hedging operations that make it possible to neutralise any restrictions on the sale of financial instruments allocated, also in the form of options, or instruments deriving from the exercise of options

Further to what is stated in para. 4.6 above, no specific conditions are foreseen in regard to the attribution of the plans in the case in which beneficiaries effect hedging operations that make it possible to neutralise any restrictions on the sale of Options attributed.

4.8 Description of the effects determined by a termination of the professional relationship

The effects determined by a termination of the professional relationship with persons identified as Beneficiaries are as follows:

– in the case of retirement during the period of validity of the Plan, Beneficiary retains the right to exercise, in the exercise period, any exercisable Options;

– in the case of the death of a Beneficiary, the conditions outlined above apply to the legal heirs of the Beneficiary.

– in the case of a professional relationship terminated by the voluntary resignation or the rightful dismissal, for grave misconduct or violation of duty, good faith and loyalty undermining the basis underlying the Plan, the Beneficiary loses all rights, with the consequence that all exercisable Options attributed under the terms of the Plan and not yet exercised will be immediately and automatically extinguished, without any right of indemnity or compensation of any kind.

– in the case of a professional relationship terminated for reasons other than those outlined above, the board of directors will determine, as and when appropriate, what line should be taken on exercisable Options.

In cases where the Beneficiary is a director of the Company or of a subsidiary, as per Art. 2359 of the civil code., of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A., the following will apply:

(i) in the case where a director voluntarily resigns from the board or the directorship is lawfully revoked, as per Art. 2383 of the civil code., the Beneficiary will lose all rights, with the result that all exercisable Options allocated to the director and not yet exercised will be automatically extinguished without any right of indemnity or compensation of any kind;

(ii) in the case of the end of the mandate for a director, as per Art.. 2382 of the civil cod., the board of directors will determine, as and when appropriate, what line should be taken on exercisable Options;

(iii) in the case where a director’s mandate is terminated for reasons other than those stated above at (i) and (ii) or for expiry of the mandate, the Beneficiary will retain the right to exercise any exercisable Options.

4.9 Indications of other eventual causes of annulment

Further to the provisions regarding the exercise period for Options, in the case of a sale to third parties of the control of a subsidiary of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, the exercise of Options allocated to Beneficiaries who are employees or directors of the said company must be completed within 30 days of announcement being made to the Beneficiaries of the sale of control. After this period the exercisable Options allocated to such Beneficiaries on the basis of the Plan will be considered automatically extinguished without any right of indemnity or compensation of any kind.

4.10 Motivations concerning the eventual possibility of “redemption”, by the company, of the financial instruments that are the object of the plan, as per Art. 2357 and ff. of the civil code; the beneficiaries of such redemption indicate whether this would apply only to specific categories of employee; the effects of the termination of the professional relationship on such a redemption

Not applicable.

4.11 Eventual loans or other subsidies that may be applied for the purchase of shares, as per Art. 2358, para. 3 of the civil code

Not applicable.

4.12 Indications regarding the evaluation of charges that the company expects to meet on the date of allocation, determinable on the basis of the terms and conditions already outlined, for the total amount and in relation to each instrument in the plan

According to the terms of IFRS 2, stock options are evaluated at fair value at the moment of allocation. Given the regulations governing the Plan, fair value is determined using a binomial model.

Such benefits are booked as personnel costs during the period of service, consistently with the vesting period and starting from the date of allocation and balanced under net assets in the item “Reserve for stock options”.

The benefits recognised directly by the parent company Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. to employees/directors of subsidiary companies are book as an increase in cost of the relative stake holding, and balanced under net assets in the item “Reserve for stock options”.

Subsequent to the date of allocation, a change in the number of options will involve an adjustment to the overall cost of the Plan to be booked as indicated above. At the end of each year the fair value of each Option previously determined is neither reviewed or updated, but remains definitively acquired and booked under net assets; on the same date, meanwhile, there is an updating of the estimate of the number of shares that will mature by the expiry date ( and therefore the number of employees that will have the right to exercise the Options). Changes in the estimate may lead to an adjustment in the “Reserve for stock options”” booked to the income statement between personnel costs or a reduction in the item “Equity holdings” if relative to benefits recognised to employees/directors of subsidiary companies.

When Options are exercised the part of the “Reserve for stock options” relative to the options exercised is reclassified under “Share premium reserve”; the part of the “Reserve for stock options” relative to cancelled options, or un-exercised options at the expiry date, is reclassified under “Other reserves”.

The parameters used for the numerical calculation of binomial tree for the 2008 allocations are as follows:

Year of allocation 2008 Exercise price of option 4.565 Life of option (residual years) 6 Current price of underlying shares at the date of allocation in € 3.911 Expected share price volatility 35% Dividend yield 8.9491% Interest rate without risk for the duration of the option 5.15%

4.13 Indication of eventual dilutory effects determined by compensation plans

Not applicable in that the Plan does not involve a capital increase for the Company

4.14 Eventual limits foreseen for the exercise of voting rights and the attribution of rights on assets

No limits are foreseen for the exercise of voting rights and for the attribution of rights on assets referring to shares purchased as a result of the exercise of Options.

4.15 In the case where shares are not traded on regulated markets, all useful information for an overall evaluation of the attributed value

Not applicable.

4.16 Number of financial instruments underlying each option

Each Option attributed gives the right to the acquisition of one Share.

4.17 Expiry of Options

Options expire on the first day subsequent to the term of the exercise period as indicated in the table at 4.2 above. Options that are not exercised by this date are cancelled and consequently no longer carry any rights for Beneficiaries.

4.18 Exercise procedures, timing and conditions

Options may be exercised, in a single operation, exclusively in the exercise period that begins from the expiry of the specific vesting period of 36 months from the date of the allocation of Options, as indicated in the table at 4.2 above.

4.19 Exercise price of options and the procedure and criteria for its determination, in particular concerning:

a) the formula used for the calculation of the exercise price in relation to the fair market value, and

b) the procedure for the determination of the market price used as the reference price for the determination of the exercise price

The exercise price for Options has been determined by the board of directors – as outlined in para. 3.7 above – in line with Art. 9, para. 4, a) of the TUIR, with reference to the “normal value” of the Shares, and corresponds to the arithmetical average of the reference price for Mondadori shares in the period from the date of assignment of the options to the same day of the previous calendar month.

The exercise price for Options is indicated in the table at 4.2 above.

4.20 In the case of the exercise price not being equal to the reference price determined as indicated at 4.19.b above (the fair market value), what are the reasons for the difference

Not applicable.

4.21 Criteria for which different exercise price would apply to the various individuals and categories of Beneficiary

Not applicable.

4.22 In the case in which the financial instruments underlying the options are not trade don regulated markets, an indication of the attributed value of the underlying instruments or the criteria for determining such value

Not applicable.

4.23 Criteria for adjustments made necessary as a result of extraordinary capital operations and other operations involving changes in the number of underlying instruments (capital increases, extraordinary dividends, reverse splits or splits in underlying shares, mergers and disposals, conversion operations in other categories of shares etc.)

In the case of the following extraordinary operations, the board of directors, with a view to maintaining unaltered the economic aspect of the allocated Options, will proceed, when conditions allow, to adjusting the exercise price and/or the number of Shares in relation to the Options not yet exercised:

(a) operations for reverse splits or splits;

(b) operations for free capital increases;

(c) operations for paid capital increases with the issue of shares, of shares linked to warrants, convertible bonds or bonds convertible with warrants;

(d) mergers or disposals;

(e) operations for capital reductions.

In the case of any of the above, and always assuming appropriate conditions, the board of directors will proceed with the adjustment of the acquisition price according to widely accepted rules practiced by financial markets, making use of standard adjustments and nominating an independent expert to make a judgement on the correctness of the method used for the adjustment to the price and the result obtained. Such adjustment, as well as the judgement of the independent expert, will be communicated in writing to the Beneficiaries.
