Those entitled to attend and exercise the right to vote are convened to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on April 24, 2024 at 10:00, on single call, which shall deemed to be held at the Company's offices, in Via Leonardo Bistolfi 35, 20134 Milan (MI), to discuss and resolve on the following:

1999, subject to the revocation of the previous authorization resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2023. Related and consequent resolutions.
Pursuant to art. 106, paragraph 4, of Decree no. 18, attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting of those who have the right to vote will take place exclusively through the Appointed Representative pursuant to art. 135-undecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance, as identified in the following paragraph "APPOINTED REPRESENTATIVE" ("Appointed Representative").
The aforementioned Appointed Representative may also be granted proxies and/or sub-proxies pursuant to art. 135-novies of the Consolidated Law on Finance, as an exception to art. 135-undecies, paragraph 4, of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
Without prejudice to the above, attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting of other entitled parties (the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the other members of the Corporate Bodies, the Secretary, the Appointed Representative, the Independent Auditors and/or employees and/or agents authorised to do so by the Chairman), may also (or exclusively) take place by remote communication means that guarantee their identification, as communicated to each individually, without the need for the Chairman, the Secretary and, eventually, the Notary to be in the same place. The Shareholders' Meeting will therefore take place without the physical participation of the Shareholders.
The procedures for conducting the Shareholders' Meeting may be supplemented, amended and communicated in advance.
Pursuant to art. 125-quater of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Company's share capital is equal to Euro 18,268,203.90 fully paid-up and is divided into 201,685,174 shares, with no par value, of which 51,203,979 ordinary shares listed on Euronext Milan and 150,481,195 shares with multiple voting rights, not listed, as provided by art. 5 of the Company's By-laws (hereinafter, "By-laws"), available on the Company's website (www.denora.com, Section "Governance / Documents and Procedures"); each ordinary share gives right to 1 (one) vote in the Company's ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings, while each share with multiple votes gives right to 3 (three) votes in the Company's ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings. As of March 21, 2024 the Company holds n. 2,496,611 treasury shares, amounting to 1,24% of the share capital.
Since the Company's By-laws provide for multiple voting shares pursuant to art. 127-quinquies of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Company will communicate to the public, pursuant to art. 85-bis, paragraph 4-bis, of the Issuers' Regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 11971 of May 14, 1999, as subsequently supplemented and amended, the total amount of voting rights by the day following the date indicated in art. 83-sexies, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (i.e., the record date) and, therefore, by April 16, 2024.

The right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise the right to vote - which may take place exclusively through the Appointed Representative - is certified by a notification sent to the Company by the authorized intermediary, upon request of the entitled party, on the basis of the accounting records relating to the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e., April 15, 2024 (record date). Those who will acquire ownership of the shares of the Company after that date, based on the recordings made in such accounts, will not be entitled to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. The notice from the intermediary must be received by the Company by the end of the third market trading day preceding the Shareholders' Meeting and, therefore, by April 19, 2024. Nevertheless, the right to intervene and vote, within the terms mentioned above and in compliance with the terms for granting proxies to the Appointed Representative, shall remain unaffected if the notifications are received by the Company after this deadline, as long as they are received before the start of the Shareholders' meeting activities.
Pursuant to art. 106, paragraph 4, of the Decree no. 18, the attendance and the exercise of the right to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting by those entitled to do so will take place exclusively through the Appointed Representative chosen by the Company.
