The termination of lease contracts of the gas and district heating business units with the company Area Asset and Com.Ami, as part of the share capital increase of the parent company and following the transfer of the gas and district heating networks, generated non-recurrent extraordinary income equal to Euro 16,841 thousand. For a more exhaustive information on the nature of the transaction, reference is made to the Report on Operations.
