The reasons for these voting instructions are illustrated in the proxy statement made available in the manner referred to in the previous point C) starting from the deadline referred to in point D) above.

The process for submitting Slate No. 1 was carried out in accordance with Article 9.2 of the Articles submission of a slate for the renewal of the Board of Director of January 18, 2024, the indications formulated by CONSOB in its Warning Notice No. 1/22 of January 21, 2022 "Submission of slates by the board of directors for renewal of the board of directors" and international best practices.

Pursuant to Article 138, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulation, if the voting instructions given by the solicited party do not conform to the Promoter's proposals (the "Promoter's Proposals" or the "Proposals"), the latter shall exercise the vote, through the Delegated Entity (and, in turn, through sub-proxy to the Designated Representative, as defined below), according to the instructions received, regardless of whether these are different from the proposals above: Therefore, if the solicited person has given a proxy to vote for proposals that differ from those made by the Promoter, the Appointed Party shall exercise the vote in absolute conformity with the instructions received from the solicited party.

F. OTHER INFORMATION

For the purpose of the validity of the proxy, the relevant form, made available in the places referred to in point C above, starting from the deadline referred to in point D above, must be signed and dated by the person entitled to vote or, in the case of a legal entity, by the person who has legal representation.

The proxy form must be received by the Promoter, through Morrow Sodali, by 11:59 p.m. on April Proxy Deadline

Morrow Sodali S.p.A. Via XXIV Maggio, 43 00187 Rome

To the attention of the Dipartimento Retail

In the event that the proxy is sent by electronic mail, without prejudice to the validity of the proxy thus submitted, it is recommended, in order to facilitate operational activities, to send by post or hand-deliver to Morrow Sodali the original, or send an electronically signed document, pursuant to Article 20, paragraphs 1-bis and 1-ter, of Legislative Decree No. 82 of March 7, 2005. (i) in the case of natural persons, a photocopy of their ID document, and (ii) in the case of legal persons, a photocopy of the certificate issued by the Companies

Together with the proxy form, the following must be sent:

  • Register or the special power of attorney, showing the powers of representation of the person signing the proxy in the name and on behalf of the legal person; (iii) copy of the notice of share ownership sent by the intermediaries to the Company.

The Promoter assumes no liability for the failure to vote in connection with proxies received after the Deadline for Proxies or proxies which, although received by the Deadline, do not fully comply with the law.

Furthermore, since the Promoter is also the Issuer, the provisions that allow the Promoter (in the cases indicated by Articles 137, paragraph 3 and 138, paragraph 4 of the Issuers Regulation) to vote in a manner other than that proposed, where expressly authorised by the solicited party, in the event that significant circumstances occur, unknown at the time of granting the proxy and which

cannot be communicated to the solicited party, such as to lead the latter to reasonably believe that, had they known them, they would have given their approval. Pursuant to current regulatory provisions, including Article 138, paragraph 2, of the Issuers Regulation, and since the case of Articles 137, paragraph 3, and 138, paragraph 4, of the Issuers Regulation does not apply, because the Promoter is also the issuer, and in accordance with Consob Communication No. 3/2020 of April 10, 2020, since this is a meeting in which the exercise of the right to vote can take place solely through the designated representative, the Promoter may therefore not vote through the Delegated Entity and, in turn, through sub-proxy to the Designated Representative in a manner differing from the instructions indicated in the proxy form.

The proxy can always be revoked by means of a written declaration brought to the attention of the Promoter and the Delegated Entity by 11:59 p.m. on April 21, 2024.

The persons entitled to vote and who issue the proxy must request their intermediary to notify the Issuer, within the terms and in the manner provided for by applicable law, of their entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise their voting right.

In relation to participation and voting:

  • Pursuant to Article 83-sexies of the Consolidated Finance Act, entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and to exercise voting rights is certified by a communication to the Issuer, made by the intermediary adhering to the centralized management system of Monte Titoli S.p.A., in favour of the person entitled to vote, on the basis of the evidence relating to the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting in first call (April 12, 2024 - record date);
  • only those who hold the right to vote on that date (April 12, 2024) shall be entitled to participate in and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting.

* * *

Without prejudice to the fact that, as mentioned above, participation and the exercise of voting rights at the Shareholders' Meeting may be exercised solely through the Designated Representative, for the purposes of the solicitation, collection and exercise of the proxy referred to in this Notice, the Promoter shall avail itself of the Proxy, in the persons of, severally in relation to whom, to the Promoter's knowledge, none of the situations pursuant to Article 135-decies of the Consolidated Finance Act apply Andrea Di Segni - born in Rome on 17/04/1966 - Tax code DSGNDR66D17H501N Fabio Bianconi - born in Urbino on 14/05/1980 - Tax code BNCFBA80E14L500I Renato Di Vizia - born in Capaccio (SA) on 26/08/1970 - Tax code DVZRNT70M26B644G Iolanda Casella - born in Salerno on 18/11/1982 - Tax code CSLLND82S58H703T
