1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The scheme for administrative liability of organizations In execution of the Act of Parliament no. 300 of 29 September 2000, compliance of Italian legislation with some International Conventions generated the enactment of Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001, which became effective on 4 July 2001, Regulations governing administrative liability of corporate organizations, companies and associations, including those which are not bodies corporate. The purpose of the Decree is to assure that Companies located in Italy carry out their business activities in compliance with the law, when operating in Italy and abroad, without benefiting from any illegal conduct by its representatives. Therefore, the Decree introduced to the Italian regulatory system a special form of corporate liability, where Companies are liable for offences committed - or even attempted - to the benefit or in the interests of the Organization by persons holding certain positions within that organization, namely: (i) persons serving as representatives, or holding administrative or senior executive positions or (de facto) positions of management or control of the Organization or of its organized unit (top management pursuant to Article 5(1)(a)); or (ii) persons managed or supervised by one of the persons under the foregoing letter (i) (persons under the direction or supervision of others pursuant to Article 5(1)(b)). The Decree also specifies offences for which the Organization can be held liable (so-called Predicate Offences) on a binding but open-ended list, meaning that the Legislator can add offences to the list; indeed, since the Decree came into force in 2001, the Legislator has approved a number of Laws extending the list of relevant crimes. Under the guidelines introduced by the Decree, the Organization shall submit to criminal proceedings to ascertain its liability, without prejudice to the criminal proceedings against the actual perpetrator of the offence, and whether or not the guilty person is identified and/or punishable. The penalties that the Company may be submitted to under the Decree are deliberately very tough in order to form a strong deterrent to anyone representing the Company who acts outside the Law to the benefit or in the interests of the Organization. Therefore, the penalties shall always harm the Organization's image and assets, to the point of directly or indirectly endangering its normal business activities. Indeed, they include fines that can be very hefty, publication of the ruling, and confiscation of money, if applicable, as well as specific disqualification (Article 9(2)), namely: disqualification from doing business; suspension or cancellation of authorisations, licences or concessions serving to commit the offence; ban from entering into contracts with the Public Administration, unless these are to obtain a public service; exclusion from benefits, loans, contributions or subsidies and cancellation of those already granted, if applicable; ban on advertising goods and services; through to preclusion of day-to-day business activities. PAUL WURTH ITALIA S.p.A. RV1 - Organizational, management and control model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 7

As a supplement to the foregoing, according to the provisions of the Decree, the Company shall not be held liable if its representatives committed the crime solely in their own interests or in the interests of third parties, or if the company has set up an internal crime-prevention system. This led to the provision under Article 5 setting forth that the Company shall not be liable if it: - approves, adopts and effectively implements an appropriate Model to prevent the crimes pursuant to the decree from being committed, before any offence is committed; - sets up an internal Supervisory Committee with independent powers to take initiative and control, empowered to (i) supervise the effective functioning of the Model and compliance with its provisions by all recipients; (ii) constantly verify the real preventive effectiveness of the Model, and (iii) update it. In brief, the organizational, management and control model pursuant to Article 5 of the Decree is the set of ethical and moral principles that the Company expects its representatives, managers, employees and collaborators etc. to adopt; it is also the appropriate rules and procedures of conduct, organization and control that the Company has set up to prevent Predicate Offences from being committed; in other words, such that the offence would only be possible in the event of fraudulent conduct infringing the provisions of the model, therefore only ascribable to the perpetrator and not also to the Company. The so-called Predicate Offences also include grievous bodily harm and manslaughter committed in breach of occupational health and safety regulations, and pursuant to this, Article 30 of Italian Legislative Decree 81/08 establishes in more detail the requirements the Model must have to be considered "appropriate". According to Article 30(1), in order to be considered exempt, the Company must adopt and effectively implement the Model, assuring a company system to fall all legal obligations relative to: a) compliance with technical and structural standards under the law, relating to equipment, plants, workplaces, chemical, physical and biological agents; b) risk assessment and preparation of subsequent health and safety measures; c) organizational activities such as emergencies, first aid, management of contracts, periodic safety meetings, consultation with Workers' Safety Representative; d) Health Surveillance activities; e) worker information and training activities; f) supervision of worker compliance with the safe working procedures and instructions; g) acquisition of documents and certifications that are obligatory by law; h) periodic monitoring of the application and effectiveness of the procedures adopted. Along the same lines as the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/01, the provisions contained in the sections following Article 30 of Legislative Decree 81/08 whereby: - the Organizational and Management Model shall provide for suitable systems to record actual implementation of the activities under section 1; - in any case, with regard to the nature and size of the organization and of the type of business activities performed, the Organizational Model shall provide for structured functions to assure the technical competences and powers necessary to verify, assess, manage and monitor risk, in addition to appropriate disciplinary measures to sanction non-compliance with the measures provided in the Model; - the Organizational Model shall also provide for an appropriate system to monitor implementation of that Model and to assure that the measures adopted remain appropriate in PAUL WURTH ITALIA S.p.A. RV1 - Organizational, management and control model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 8

the long-term. Any reviews and amendments to the Organizational Model shall be adopted when significant breaches of the regulations relating to workplace health and safety are determined, or if scientific and technological changes are made in the organization and in the business activity. 1.2 Offences attempted or committed abroad On the basis of the provisions in Article 4 of the Decree, Organizations headquartered in Italy may also be held liable for offences committed abroad. The cases and conditions of liability are the same as those for offences committed in the Italian State. Organizations shall not be prosecuted in Italy only if the company is prosecuted by the country where the offence was committed. 1.3 Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A.: Adoption of the Model Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. is an engineering company controlled by Paul Wurth S.A. headquartered in Luxembourg, which in turn is part of the SMS Group. Since 2005, Paul Wurth Italia has operated in Italy and abroad, mainly in the steelmaking sector. The company is headquartered in Genoa, Via di Francia 1. The company supplies the tools, products and services relating to the production, processing and conversion of steel, iron, metal and cast iron and to all activities connected to this. The Company's core business is as follows: - engineering and construction of blast furnaces and cowpers; - engineering and construction of coke-making plants; - engineering and construction of plants to process steelmaking waste; - engineering and construction of integrated systems; - supply of engineering services for auxiliary equipment and automation. The engineering activities are the responsibility of a team of top level specialists, in particular specialized engineers, supported by high-end technological tools, the Group's global competences in the field of research and engineering and thanks to the Group's numerous patented inventions. The Company adopts the same competence and professionalism in the actual construction, delivering to the client a finished product, including plant installation and monitoring services. The Company constructs and delivers the plants, which are formed of highly complex technical work, both in the engineering and the execution stage, very often occurring abroad; for this reason, in addition to its headquarters in Genoa, the company also has two permanent local units and a permanent organization abroad, located respectively in: - Piombino, Via della Resistenza, whose business activities involve supervising all activities taking place in the Lucchini Sevestal facility; - Taranto, Strada Statale Appia, whose business activities involve supervising all activities taking place in the Ilva facility in Taranto; PAUL WURTH ITALIA S.p.A. RV1 - Organizational, management and control model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 9

- Algeria, permanent organization with regard to the construction sites that the Company has opened in that country and other, different sites may be set up in other countries where the project needs to be completed and the client's work performed, from time to time. The complexity of the plants to engineer and construct, the time required to complete these, the need to constantly supervise the order which is often executed abroad, means the Company may be required to enter into contracts (i) for the purchase of complex goods, (ii) for services, with the Group leader or other affiliates (Paul Wurth India) or not. Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. pursues the general strategies of its Group which, in addition to working to improve its economic growth (already operating in a number of countries around the world), also has the following goals: - promote workplace health, safety and wellness; - environmental protection; - transparent commercial operations that must be based on a written Code of Ethics; - respect for human rights and legislation with regard to rights in the workplace; - transparent, constructive dialogue with workers at every level. Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. is aware that the Company's prestige and image depends on its capacity to combine the highest standards of product quality and strict compliance with the laws in force in its operations. Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. feels that its mission is to represent a model of excellence also for maximum transparency and fairness in carrying out its business; therefore, as part of its corporate strategic decisions, and also to protect its own reputation, and the reputation of its shareholders and directors, it has set up this Organizational Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01. It shall also take whatever steps are required to constantly update and disseminate the model in order to raise awareness and orientate the behaviour of all intended Recipients to strictly respect the Laws in force and, at the same time, to avoid and prevent the risk of any offences being committed as part of the company's business activities, and with this any possible sanctions against the Company. Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. has prepared the Model with reference to its own specific organization, dimension and structure, the provisions and regulations of the Decree, the relevant case law and the Guidelines prepared by industry associations, in particular the guidelines prepared by Confindustria. This Model was adopted by the Board of Directors of Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. with resolution on (date) and updated and amended with resolution on (date) Under that same resolution, the Board of Directors appointed the Supervisory Committee, composed of 3 members and with independent powers tasked with supervising, monitoring and taking any action required with regard to the actual Model, and in particular with its application, compliance and updating.

2. GENERAL 2.1 Recipients of the Model In general, all the people who operate for and on behalf of Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A., including directors, auditors, members of any other corporate bodies, employees, temporary and casual consultants, agents, business partners, suppliers, plus members of the Supervisory Committee are recipients of the rules and regulations contained in this Model, and therefore obliged to fully comply with it. 2.2 Function of the Model By adopting this Model, Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. reiterates that it strongly condemns any form of unlawful conduct as being both against the Law, and contrary to the ethical and social principles underpinning the business activities of Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A.. Pursuant to and by virtue of the provisions in Article 5 of the Decree, with reference to the potential risk of committing offences, this Model also has the purpose of: - determining which company activities offences could be committed in, and corporate functions responsible for these activities; - laying down specific regulations and procedures which plan and implement the decisions made by the Organization in relation to the offences to prevent; - allowing Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. to monitor and take prompt action to prevent, or in any case counteract committing of offences; - determining appropriate methods to manage financial resources to prevent offences from being committed; - setting up a Supervisory Committee empowered to take action and monitor the effectiveness and to ensure that the Model runs smoothly; - introducing an appropriate disciplinary system to sanction noncompliance with the measures indicated in the Model; - establishing methods to constantly update the Model to ensure it is in line with any new risks of committing offences, whether they are already provided for by the Decree or introduced by the Legislator; - establishing methods to adapt the Model in the event of criticalities in existing provisions. It follows that, in addition to the foregoing, key aspects of the Model are: defining powers of authorisation that are consistent with the responsibilities assigned; complying with the principle of separating functions; controlling and recording operations with potential risk; verifying corporate conduct of Recipients, in addition to the function and update of the Model; PAUL WURTH ITALIA S.p.A. RV1 - Organizational, management and control model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 11

raising awareness and training all Recipients in the provisions of conduct and in the procedures aimed at assuring compliance with the Model. 2.3 Structure of the Model The Model is formed of this General section concerning the methods that Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. used to prepare the Model with the characteristics required by Law. It includes the steps of the process adopted in writing the Model, the regulations to assure its functioning, update and dissemination, and the establishment and organization of the Supervisory Committee. Lastly, it sets out the disciplinary system and a number of Special sections, which were prepared for the types of Predicate Offences that in the opinion of Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. recipients could potentially risk committing due to the activity performed, including the specific indication of the risk areas and relevant procedures adopted to prevent the risk of committing unlawful acts, making it possible to commit offences only by fraudulently circumventing rules and controls. Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. is aware that the adoption of the Model goes hand in hand with the adoption of a Code of Ethics, whereby the Organization formalizes the principles underlying the performance of its business activities. Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. has always aligned its business activity with a set of principles and rules of conduct based on the values of fairness, transparency and good faith. It has taken its Group's goals on board and in this respect it has adopted its own Code of Ethics that is fully referenced in the model, and forms an integral part of the General section. In the original text of the Decree, Predicate Offences were only identified as some crimes against the Public Administration and other financial crimes involving fraud (Articles 24 and 25). Still, the administrative liability of Organizations has been extended over the years and will also be extended further to encompass a range of Bills that are currently being debated in Parliament, as well as some European Directives with which the Italian regulatory system must be aligned. For this reason, the Board of Directors of Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A., also on request of the Supervisory Committee, shall adopt specific resolutions to amend the Model to include new Special sections relating to offences that would extend the scope of the Organization's administrative liability under additional legislation. 2.4 Risk mapping and updating 2.4.1 The Predicate Offences under assessment In this Model, Paul Wurth Italia S.p.A. has mapped the risks for the originally envisaged crimes against the Public Administration and other financial crimes committed by means of fraud; the mapping also includes all subsequent additions made under additional legislation through to approval of the Model, namely: Crimes committed against the Public Administration (Article 24, Italian Legislative Decree 231/01) PAUL WURTH ITALIA S.p.A.
