Strategy

Hera's strategy is aimed at creating value in a sustainable manner using all available mechanisms. The Group seeks to generate value for shareholders through a continuous quest for efficiency, expanding in the market using multiple means including external growth lines, and investing in profitable activities. This approach has resulted in a clear and transparent dividend policy with a track record of steady increase over the last 20 years. 
Other mechanisms of value creation for shareholders concern the characteristics of listed financial instruments issued by the Group. Specifically, the characteristics of "volatility" and "liquidity" are particularly relevant for the ordinary shares that represent Hera's share capital.

Volatility

In order to support a continuous improvement in the characteristics of company shares, Hera has launched a buy-back plan aimed in part at financing potential opportunities for integrating small-sized companies with a view to reducing shareholder dilution. The plan also seeks to reduce the volatility of shares traded on the stock market by lowering the risk of strong intra-day price fluctuations (through purchases and sales counter to market trends at specific moments of volatility) and to normalize any fluctuations that are abnormal in relation to the main comparable national shares (A2A, Iren, ACEA).

Liquidity

The plan is also designed to continuously support the liquidity of daily transactions through purchase and sale operations in response to the demands of market-based, including during periods of low trade activity. Improving volatility and liquidity ensures a lower degree of distortion in the prices of shares on the Stock Exchange in comparison to the value of corporate activities as determined by the consensus of independent financial analysts.
