AMENDMENT ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

(Fiat Investments N.V.; new name: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.)

This eleventh day of October two thousand fourteen, there appeared before me, Guido Marcel Portier, civil law notary officiating in Amsterdam, the Netherlands: Michel Pieter van Agt, born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on the sixteenth day of June nineteen hundred eighty-four, employed at Fred. Roeskestraat 100, 1076 ED Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The person appearing declared the following:

on the tenth day of October two thousand fourteen the general meeting of Fiat Investments N.V., a public company (naamloze vennootschap) under Dutch law, having its official seat (zetel) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its registered office address at 240 Bath Road, Fiat House, SL1 4 DX Slough, United Kingdom, registered with the Dutch trade register under number 60372958 (Company), resolved to amend and completely readopt the articles of association of the Company, as well as to authorise the person appearing to have this deed executed. The adoption of such resolutions is evidenced by a shareholder’s resolution, a copy of which shall be attached to this deed (Annex).

The articles of association of the Company were established at the incorporation of the Company, by a deed, executed on the first day of April two thousand fourteen before a deputy of G.M. Portier, aforementioned. The articles of association of the Company have not been amended since.

In implementing the aforementioned resolution, the articles of association of the Company are hereby amended and completely readopted as follows:

2/27

16410899

1.          Definitions

1.1        In these Articles of Association the following words shall have the following meanings:

Affiliate: with respect to any specified person, any other person who directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. The term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative of the foregoing;

board of directors: the board of directors of the company;

Change of Control: in respect of any shareholder that is not an individual, any direct or indirect transfer in one or a series of related transactions as a result of which (i) a majority of the voting rights of such shareholder, (ii) the de facto ability to direct the casting of a majority of the votes exercisable at general meetings of shareholders of such shareholder and/or (iii) the ability to appoint or remove a majority of the directors, executive directors or board members or executive officers of such shareholder or to direct the casting of a majority or more of the voting rights at meetings of the board of directors, governing body or executive committee of such shareholder has been transferred to a new owner, provided that no change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) the transfer of ownership and/or control is an intragroup transfer under the same parent company, (b) the transfer of ownership and/or control is the result of the succession or the liquidation of assets between spouses or the inheritance, inter vivo donation or other transfer to a spouse or a relative up to and including the fourth degree or (c) the fair market value of the Qualifying Common Shares held by such shareholder represents less than twenty percent (20%) of the total assets of the Transferred Group at the time of the transfer and the Qualifying Common Shares held by such shareholder, in the sole judgment of the company, are not otherwise material to the Transferred Group or the Change of Control transaction;

common share: a common share in the share capital of the company;

director: a member of the board of directors;

electing common shares: common shares registered in the Loyalty Register for the purpose of becoming Qualifying Common Shares;

16410899

in writing: by letter, by telecopier, by e-mail, or by a legible and reproducible message otherwise sent (including electronically), provided that the identity of the sender can be reasonably established;

Initial Allocation Procedures: the procedures pursuant to which former shareholders of Fiat have been given the opportunity to opt for an initial allocation of special voting shares upon completion of the Merger, as described in the relevant Merger documentation;

Fiat: Fiat S.p.A.;

group company: a group company as referred to in Section 2:24b of the Dutch Civil Code;

Loyalty Register: the register kept by or on behalf of the company for the registration of any Qualifying Common Shares and any electing common shares;

Loyalty Transferee: (i) with respect to any shareholder that is not an individual, any Affiliate of such shareholder (including any successor of such shareholder) that is beneficially owned in substantially the same manner (including percentage) as the beneficial ownership of the transferring shareholder or the beneficiary company as part of a statutory demerger (splitsing) of such shareholder and (ii) with respect to any shareholder that is an individual, any transferee of common shares following succession or the liquidation of assets between spouses or the inheritance, inter vivo donation or other transfer to a spouse or a relative up to and including the fourth degree;

Merger: the cross-border statutory merger (grensoverschrijdende fusie) pursuant to which Fiat (as disappearing entity) has merged into the company (as surviving entity);

person: any individual (natuurlijk persoon), firm, legal entity (in whatever form and wherever formed or incorporated), governmental entity, joint venture, association or partnership;

Qualifying Common Shares: with respect to any shareholder, (i) the number of common shares that has, pursuant to the Initial Allocation Procedures, been allocated to such shareholder and registered in the Loyalty Register on the occasion of the Merger and continue to be so registered in the name of such shareholder or its Loyalty Transferee(s) and (ii) the number of electing common shares that has for an uninterrupted period of at least three (3) years, been registered in the Loyalty Register in the name of such shareholder or its Loyalty Transferee(s) and continue to be so registered. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not necessary that specific common shares satisfy the requirements as referred to under (i) and (ii) in order for a number of common shares to qualify as Qualifying Common Shares; accordingly, it is permissible for common shares to be substituted into the Loyalty Register for different common shares without affecting the total number of Qualifying Common Shares or the total number of common shares that would become Qualifying Common Shares after an uninterrupted period of at least three (3) years after registration in the Loyalty Register, held by the shareholder or its Loyalty Transferee(s);

5.          Holding requirement in respect of special voting shares

5.1        Special voting shares may only be held by a Qualifying Shareholder and the company itself.

  (a)       a corresponding number of Qualifying Common Shares of such shareholder shall be de-registered from the Loyalty Register with immediate effect and as a consequence shall no longer qualify as Qualifying Common Shares;

16410899

accountants, one to be appointed by the offering shareholder, one to be appointed by the company and the third one to be appointed jointly by the accountants thus appointed. The appointed accountants shall be authorized to inspect all books and records of the company and to obtain all such information as will be useful to them determining the price.

6.          Issuance of shares

6.1        The general meeting of shareholders or alternatively the board of directors, if it has previously been designated to do so by the general meeting of shareholders, shall have authority to resolve on any issuance of shares. The general meeting of shareholders shall, for as long as any such designation of the board of directors for this purpose is in force, no longer have authority to decide on the issuance of shares. For a period of five (5) years from the twelfth day of October two thousand fourteen, the board of directors shall irrevocably be authorized to issue shares up to the maximum aggregate amount of shares as provided for in the company’s authorized share capital as set out in Article 4.1, as amended from time to time.

6.2        The general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors if so designated in accordance with Article 6.1, shall decide on the price and the further terms and conditions of issuance, with due observance of what is required in relation thereto in the law and in these Articles of Association.

6.3        If the board of directors is designated to have authority to decide on the issuance of shares by the general meeting of shareholders, such designation shall specify the class of shares and the maximum number of shares that can be issued under such designation. When making such designation the duration thereof, which shall not be for more than five (5) years, shall be resolved upon at the same time. The designation may be extended from time to time for periods not exceeding five (5) years from the date of such extension. The designation may not be withdrawn unless otherwise provided in the resolution in which the designation is made.

6.4        Within eight (8) days after the passing of a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders to issue shares or to designate the board of directors as provided in Article 6.1, the company shall deposit the complete text of such resolution at the office of the Dutch trade register. Within eight (8) days after the end of each quarter of the financial year, the company shall notify the Dutch trade register of each issuance of shares which occurred during such quarter. Such notification shall state the number of shares issued and their class. Failure to duly make such notification shall neither affect the authority of the general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors to issue shares nor the validity of the shares issued.

6.5        What has been provided in the Articles 6.1 up to and including 6.4 shall mutatis mutandis be applicable to the granting of rights to subscribe for shares, but shall not be applicable to the issuance of shares to persons exercising a previously granted right to subscribe for shares.

8/27

16410899

6.6        Payment for shares shall be made in cash unless another form of contribution has been agreed. Payment in a currency other than euro may only be made with the consent of the company. Payment in a currency other than euro will discharge the obligation to pay up the nominal value to the extent that the amount paid can be freely exchanged into an amount in euro equal to the nominal value of the relevant shares. The rate of exchange on the day of payment will be decisive, unless the company requires payment against the rate of exchange on a specified date which is not more than two (2) months before the last day on which payment for such shares is required to be made, provided that such shares will be admitted to trading on a regulated market or multilateral trading facility as referred to in Section 1:1 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) or a regulated market or multilateral trading facility of a state, which is not a European Union member state, which is comparable thereto.

6.7        The board of directors is expressly authorized to enter into the legal acts referred to in Section 2:94 of the Dutch Civil Code, without the prior consent of the general meeting of shareholders.

7.          Right of pre-emption

7.1        Subject to Article 7.9 and the remainder of this Article 7, in the event of an issuance of common shares, every holder of common shares shall have a right of pre-emption with regard to the common shares to be issued in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of his common shares, provided however that no such right of pre-emption shall exist in respect of shares to be issued to employees of the company or of a group company pursuant to any option plan of the company.

7.2        A shareholder shall have no right of pre-emption for shares that are issued against a non-cash contribution.

7.3        In the event of an issuance of special voting shares to Qualifying Shareholders, shareholders shall not have any right of pre-emption.

7.4        The general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, shall decide when passing the resolution to issue shares in which manner the shares shall be issued and, to the extent that rights of pre-emption apply, within what period those rights may be exercised.

7.5        The company shall give notice of an issuance of shares that is subject to a right of pre-emption and of the period during which such right may be exercised by announcement in the Dutch State Gazette and in a nationally distributed newspaper.

7.6        The right of pre-emption may be exercised during a period of at least two (2) weeks after the announcement in the Dutch State Gazette.

7.7        Subject to Article 7.9, the right of pre-emption may be limited or excluded by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or a resolution of the board of directors if the board of directors has been designated to do so by the general meeting of shareholders and provided the board of directors has also been authorized to resolve on the issuance of shares. In the proposal to the general meeting of shareholders to limit or exclude pre-emption rights the reasons for the proposal and a substantiation of the proposed issuance price shall be explained in writing. With respect to designation of the board of directors the provisions of the last three sentences of Article 6.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

9/27

16410899

7.8        For a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders to limit or exclude the right of pre-emption or to designate the board of directors as authorized to do so, a simple majority of the votes cast is required to approve such resolution, provided, however, that if less than one half of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting, then a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast is required to adopt such resolution. Within eight (8) days from the resolution the company shall deposit a complete text thereof at the office of the Dutch trade register.

7.9        For a period of five (5) years from the twelfth day of October two thousand fourteen, the board of directors shall irrevocably be authorized to limit or exclude the right of pre-emption as set out in this Article 7 (including Article 7.10).

7.10      When rights are granted to subscribe for common shares the shareholders shall also have a right of pre-emption with respect to such rights; what has been provided hereinbefore in this Article 7 shall apply mutatis mutandis. Shareholders shall have no right of pre-emption in respect of shares that are issued to anyone who exercises a previously acquired right.

8.          Acquisition by the company of shares in its own share capital

8.1        The company shall at all times have the authority to acquire fully paid-up shares in its own share capital, provided that such acquisition is made for no consideration (om niet).

22.2      The board of directors shall annually close the books of the company as at the last day of every financial year and shall within four (4) months thereafter draw up annual accounts consisting of a balance sheet, a profit and loss account and explanatory notes. Within such four (4) month period the board of directors shall publish the annual accounts, including the accountant’s certificate, the annual report and any other information that would need to be made public in accordance with the applicable provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange on which common shares are listed.

22.4      If the activity of the company or the international structure of its group justifies the same as determined by the board of directors, its annual accounts or its consolidated accounts may be prepared in a foreign currency.

22.5      The broad outline of the corporate governance structure of the company shall be explained in a separate chapter of the annual report.

23.        Reserves and profits

23.1      The company shall maintain a special capital reserve to be credited against the share premium exclusively for the purpose of facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry any entitlement to the balance of the special capital reserve. The board of directors shall be authorized to resolve upon (i) any distribution out of the special capital reserve to pay up special voting shares or (ii) re-allocation of amounts to credit or debit the special capital reserve against or in favour of the share premium reserve.

23.2      The company shall maintain a separate dividend reserve for the special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of the company. Any distribution out of the special voting rights dividend reserve or the partial or full release of such reserve will require a prior proposal from the board of directors and a subsequent resolution of the meeting of holders of special voting shares.

23.3      From the profits, shown in the annual accounts, as adopted, such amounts shall be reserved as the board of directors may determine.

23.4      The profits remaining thereafter shall first be applied to allocate and add to the special voting shares dividend reserve an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate nominal value of all outstanding special voting shares. The calculation of the amount to be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend reserve shall occur on a time-proportionate basis. If special voting shares are issued during the financial year to which the allocation and addition pertains, then the amount to be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend reserve in respect of these newly issued special voting shares shall be calculated as from the date on which such special voting shares were issued until the last day of the financial year concerned. The special voting shares shall not carry any other entitlement to the profits.

23.5      Any profits remaining thereafter shall be at the disposal of the general meeting of shareholders for distribution of profits on the common shares only, subject to the provision of Article 23.8.

23.6      Subject to a prior proposal of the board of directors, the general meeting of shareholders may declare and pay distributions of profits and other distributions in United States Dollars. Furthermore, subject to the approval of the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors having been designated as the body competent to pass a resolution for the issuance of shares in accordance with Article 6, the board of directors may decide that a distribution shall be made in the form of shares or that shareholders shall be given the option to receive a distribution either in cash or in the form of shares.

23.7      The company shall only have power to make distributions to shareholders and other persons entitled to distributable profits to the extent the company’s equity exceeds the sum of the paid in and called up part of the share capital and the reserves that must be maintained pursuant to Dutch law and these Articles of Association. No distribution of profits or other distributions may be made to the company itself for shares that the company holds in its own share capital.

24/27

16410899

23.8      The distribution of profits shall be made after the adoption of the annual accounts, from which it appears that the same is permitted.

23.9      The board of directors shall have power to declare one or more interim distributions of profits, provided that the requirements of Article 23.7 are duly observed as evidenced by an interim statement of assets and liabilities as referred to in Section 2:105 paragraph 4 of the Dutch Civil Code and provided further that the policy of the company on additions to reserves and distributions of profits is duly observed. The provisions of Articles 23.2 and 23.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

23.10    The board of directors may determine that distributions are made from the company’s share premium reserve or from any other reserve, provided that payments from reserves may only be made to the shareholders that are entitled to the relevant reserve upon the dissolution of the company.

23.11    Distributions of profits and other distributions shall be made payable in the manner and at such date(s) - within four (4) weeks after declaration thereof -and notice thereof shall be given, as the general meeting of shareholders, or in the case of interim distributions of profits, the board of directors shall determine.

23.12    Distributions of profits and other distributions, which have not been collected within five (5) years and one (1) day after the same have become payable, shall become the property of the company.

24.        Amendment of the Articles of Association

A resolution to amend these Articles of Association can only be passed by a general meeting of shareholders pursuant to a prior proposal of the board of directors. A majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast shall be required if less than one half of the issued share capital is present or represented at the meeting.

25.        Dissolution and winding-up

25.1      A resolution to dissolve the company can only be passed by a general meeting of shareholders pursuant to a prior proposal of the board of directors. A majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast shall be required if less than one half of the issued share capital is present or represented at the meeting. In the event a resolution is passed to dissolve the company, the directors shall become liquidators (vereffenaars) of the dissolved company’s property, unless the general meeting of shareholders resolves otherwise.

25.2      The general meeting of shareholders shall appoint and decide on the remuneration of the liquidators.

25.3      Until the winding-up of the company has been completed, these Articles of Association shall to the extent possible, remain in full force and effect.

25.4      Whatever remains of the company’s equity after all its debts have been discharged:

(a)         shall first be applied to distribute the aggregate balance of share premium reserves and other reserves than the special voting shares dividend reserve of the company to the holders of common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the common shares held by each of them;

25/27

16410899

(b)         secondly, from any balance remaining, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the common shares will be distributed to the holders of common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of common shares held by each of them;

(c)         thirdly, from any balance remaining, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the special voting shares dividend reserve will be distributed to the holders of special voting shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares held by each of them;

(d)         fourthly, from any balance remaining, the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the special voting shares will be distributed to the holders of special voting shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares held by each of them; and

(e)         lastly, the balance remaining will be distributed to the holders of the common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of common shares held by each of them.

25.5      After the company has ceased to exist the books and records of the company shall remain in the custody of the person designated for that purpose by the liquidators for the period provided by law.

25.6      In addition, the liquidation shall be subject to the relevant provisions of Book 2, Title 1, of the Dutch Civil Code.

Final provisions

Finally, the person appearing declared that:

(a)         subject amendment shall come into effect at the moment that the cross-border merger between the Company and Fiat S.p.A. (Cross-Border Merger) becomes effective, being on the twelfth day of October two thousand fourteen, whereby one billion one hundred sixty-seven million one hundred eighty-one thousand two hundred fifty-five (1,167,181,255) additional common shares, with a nominal value of one eurocent (EUR 0.01) each, are granted;

(b)         the general meeting of shareholders resolved on the tenth day of October two thousand fourteen, under the condition precedent that the Cross-Border Merger becomes effective, to issue four hundred eight million nine hundred forty-one thousand seven hundred sixty-seven (408,941,767) special voting shares to those shareholders eligible to hold special voting shares pursuant and subject to the Initial Allocation Procedures and Article 5.1, and that therefore in deviation from (a) above, the authority of the board of directors to issue shares pursuant to Article 6.1 shall only commence immediately after this resolution becomes effective; and

(c)         at the time the foregoing amendment of the articles of association takes effect, the issued capital of the Company equals twelve million twenty-one thousand eight hundred twelve euro and fifty-five eurocent (EUR 12,021,812.55), divided into one billion two hundred two million one hundred eighty-one thousand two hundred fifty-five (1,202,181,255) common shares with a nominal value of one eurocent (EUR 0.01) each.

NOTE ABOUT TRANSLATION

This is a fair English translation of the deed of amendment to the articles of association of:

Fiat Investments N.V. (new name: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.), having its official seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (Company).

The Company is a public company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands. The Company has its registered office address at 240 Bath Road, Fiat House, SL1 4 DX Slough, United Kingdom, registered with the Dutch trade register under number 60372958.

In preparing the English translation of the deed of amendment to the articles of association of the Company, an attempt has been made to translate as literally as possible without jeopardizing the overall continuity of the text. Inevitably, however, differences may occur in translation, and if they do, the official Dutch text will by law govern, provided that the definitions in Article 1 are in their alphabetical order in English, while the Dutch document will show these definitions in their alphabetical order in Dutch. In this translation, Dutch legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original Dutch terms; the concepts concerned may not be identical to concepts described by the English terms as such terms may be understood under the laws of other jurisdictions.

9            Blocking clause (approval Board)

9.5        The Shares to which the request for approval relates can be purchased by the Transferees at a price to be mutually agreed between the Transferor and the Transferees or by one or more experts jointly appointed by them.

The appointed experts shall be authorised to inspect all books and records of the Company and to obtain all such information as will be useful to them in determining the price.

9.6        Within one month of the price being determined, the Transferees must give notice to the Board of the number of Shares to which the request for approval relates they wish to purchase.

The Transferor is obliged to cooperate with the transfer of the Shares within two weeks after lapse of that term. If the Transferor does not withdraw timely, and does not meet his obligation to transfer within the said term, the Company shall be irrevocably authorised to transfer the Shares to the Transferee or Transferees. If the Board proceeds with such transfer, it shall immediately give notice thereof to the Shareholder concerned.

11.2      The Board shall consist of one or more executive Board members and one or more non-executive Board members. The aforementioned distinction implies at least that the executive Board members shall in particular be entrusted with the day-to-day management of the Company and the enterprise connected with it and that the non-executive Board members shall have the duty of supervising the Board members performing their duties. This last duty cannot be deprived from the non-executive Board members by means of an allocation of duties. Both individuals and legal entities can be executive Board members. Non-executive Board members are individuals.

Participation in a meeting held in any of the above ways shall constitute presence at such meeting.

12.5      Board resolutions may be adopted outside of a meeting, in writing or otherwise, provided that the proposal concerned is submitted to all Board members then in office and none of them objects to this manner of adopting resolutions.

12.6      The Board may establish rules regarding its decision-making process and working methods. In this context, the Board may also determine the duties for which each Board member in particular shall be responsible. In doing so, the Board is not allowed to deviate from the allocation of duties for executive and non-executive Board members as described in Article 11.2. In conformity with the stipulations of Section 2:239a paragraph 3 of the Dutch Civil Code the Board may draft regulations which determine that one or more Board members can make legally valid decisions concerning matters belonging to their duties.

12.7      A Board member shall not participate in deliberations and the decision-making process in the event of a direct or indirect personal conflict of interest between that Board member and the Company and the enterprise connected with it.

15.1      If the seat of an executive Board member is vacant (ontstentenis) or upon the Inability of an executive Board member, the remaining executive Board members or member shall temporarily be entrusted with the executive management of the Company. If the seats of all executive Board members are vacant or upon Inability of all executive Board members or the sole executive Board member, as the case may be, the executive management of the Company shall temporarily be entrusted to the non-executive Board members, with the authority to temporarily entrust the executive management of the Company to one or more non-executive Board members and/or one or more other persons.

15.2      If the seat of a non-executive Board member is vacant or upon Inability of a non-executive Board member, the remaining non-executive Board members or member shall temporarily be entrusted with the performance of the duties and the exercise of the authorities of that non-executive Board member. If the seats of all non-executive Board members are vacant or upon Inability of all non-executive Board members or the sole non-executive Board member, as the case may be, the General Meeting shall be authorised to temporarily entrust the performance of the duties and the exercise of the authorities of non-executive Board members to one or more other individuals.

Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise.

16.2      Indemnification under this Article 16 shall continue as to any person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity under Article 16.1 related to and arising from such person’s activities while acting in such capacity. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article 16 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal.

16.3      Notwithstanding Article 16.1 hereof, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall be adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or wilful misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to the Company.
