Introduction

This Report on Payments to Governments of the Eni Group for the year 2021 (hereinafter the "Report") complies with Eni's reporting obligations required under "Chapter I" regarding "Payment transparency provisions" of Italian Legislative Decree No. 139 of August 18, 2015, which enacted Directive 2013/34/EU (the EU Accounting Directive ‐ 2013) into the Italian law. These reporting obligations are applicable to EU‐ based, listed companies that engage in extractive industries as defined by relevant EU provisions.

The consolidation scope is the same as that of the consolidated financial statements of Eni SpA as at December 31, 2021, prepared in accordance with IFRS. Eni's EU‐based subsidiaries included in the scope of consolidation are waived from the equivalent reporting obligations enacted by other member States.

The consolidated report is provided on pages 8‐19. PwC S.p.A has undertaken a limited assurance engagement on this Report in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised).

This Report is available for download at Eni's website: www.eni.com, under the section Publications/Annual and Quarterly Reports and is also filed with Italian market authorities.

Eni's upstream activity

Eni engages in oil (including condensates) and natural gas exploration, development and extractive activities in 42 countries, mainly in Italy, Algeria, Angola, Australia, Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Libya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. Hydrocarbon production amounted to 614 million boe in 2021 and hydrocarbon proved reserves were 6.63 billion boe as of December 31, 2021 (both data include Eni's share of equity‐accounted entities).

In 2021, Eni brought an overall value of approximately €7 billion to the host countries where it is presently conducting its upstream operations; a total of €16.1 billion including payments reported on a voluntary basis as published in the table on page 22.

Following is a distribution of Eni's main countries of upstream operations according to the size of payments made as reported in the table on page 8:

There were no significant changes in the 2021 consolidation scope for this report compared to the previous year.

Basis of preparation

Legislation

This Report complies with the reporting obligations as per "Chapter I" regarding "Payment transparency provisions" of Italian Legislative Decree No. 139 of August 18, 2015, which implemented Directive 2013/34/EU. The Directive requires companies listed on a regulated market in the EU involved in the extractive industry to prepare and publish a report on payments to governments for each financial year, on a consolidated basis1 .

Reporting principles adopted have considered the official interpretations of the regulation issued by national and international bodies, as well as the industry practices.

Applicable rules establish the consolidation scope to be the same as that used in preparing the consolidated financial statements of Eni SpA in accordance with IFRS, which includes data of Eni's proportionally consolidated joint operations. Data of equity accounted entities (incorporated joint ventures or associates) are excluded from the Report.

Activities within the scope of the Report

This Report discloses cash payments and in‐kind payments made to governments that relate to Eni's activities involving the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of oil (including condensates) and natural gas. Payments made to governments that relate to refining activities, liquefying of natural gas (LNG) and gas‐to‐liquids as well as other downstream activities are not disclosed in this Report.

Government

The term Government refers to any national, regional or local Authority of any Member State of the European Union or Third State (including Ministries, governmental bodies and agencies) as well as any undertakings controlled by the above‐mentioned public entity. The definition of control is that provided in Directive 2013/34/EU, which identifies control with the obligation of including the accounts of the controlled entity in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling entity2 .

Reporting principles

This report discloses cash payments and in‐kind payments made to Governments by the parent company Eni SpA, its consolidated subsidiaries and proportionally‐consolidated entities. Payment means an amount paid, whether in cash or in‐kind, for the activities in scope of the regulations. Payments made by cash are reported in the period in which they are paid. Refunds are also reported in the period they are received by Eni and are shown as negative amounts in the report. Payments made in kind based on the underlying production delivery (production entitlements, tax oil and royalties where applicable) are reported on an accrual basis. In‐kind payments are converted to an equivalent cash value based on the most appropriate and relevant

1 Eni is also subject to the provisions of Legislative Decree N° 25 of February 15, 2016, which transposes Directive 2013/50/EU (the so‐called Transparency II Directive) into Italian Law. This Legislative Decree requires companies listed in a regulated market to comply with the provisions of the Directive 2013/34/EU.

2 The notion of control provided in the Art. 22 of the Directive is substantially in line with the one adopted by IFRS. Therefore, the provision refers to the notion of control which would trigger the inclusion of the accounts of the controlled entity in the consolidated accounts of the governmental controlling entity should the latter be required to prepare consolidated financial statements.

valuation method for each payment, which generally corresponds to market value as stated in the relevant contract. In‐kind payments are reported in both volumes and the equivalent cash value.

The Report comprises direct payments made by Eni to Governments arising from petroleum participated projects by the Group's companies. Payments made to Governments in relation to oil activities conducted through unincorporated joint ventures3 are disclosed in this Report if and to the extent that, the amounts are paid directly by Eni. This is the case when Eni is the operator4 of the unincorporated joint venture; in this case payment amounts are reported in full, even where Eni as operator of a project is proportionally reimbursed by its non‐operating venture partners through a partner billing process (cash‐call). When Eni is a non‐operating partner, payments are disclosed only when Eni has a direct payment obligation towards any governments.

Payments made by incorporated joint ventures5 are not disclosed in this Report, because Eni does not control these entities.

Project definition

Payments are reported at the project level, except those payments that are not attributable to a specific project are reported at the entity level as "non‐allocated amounts". Project is defined as operational activities, which are governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement, and form the basis for one or more payment obligations with a government. If such agreements are "substantially interconnected", those agreements are to be treated as a single project. "Substantially interconnected" means forming a set of operationally and geographically integrated agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a Government giving rise to payment liabilities. Indicators of integration include, but are not limited to, geographic proximity and the use of shared infrastructure. In this report the integration criteria adopted by Eni include the use of a common infrastructure and in the case of minor projects, geographic proximity.

The disclosure of the payments referred to in this Report reflects the substance of the contracts or the other obligations that give raise to payments.

Payments

Payments are reported according to the following break‐down: i) the full amount paid to each governmental authority; ii) the full amount paid to each government by payment type and the total payments for each Country where the extractive activities are carried out; iii) the total amount by type of payment made for each project and the total amount of payments for each project.

The information is reported under the following payments types:

Production entitlements

Under production‐sharing agreements (PSAs) the production is shared between the host government and the other parties to the PSA. The host government typically receives its share or entitlement in kind rather

3 Unincorporated Joint Ventures means two or more entities jointly carrying on the project under contract's provision, which are not incorporated in a separate vehicle/legal entity.

4 The operator of a petroleum project is the entity that based on contractual arrangements with the counterparties, manages field operations and, in this capacity, is actually making payments to governments including situations where the operator determines and communicates the production entitlement due to each party (i.e. under production sharing contracts).

5 Incorporated Joint Venture means two or more entities jointly carrying on the project through a separate vehicle/legal entity.

than being paid in cash. This includes the Government's share as a sovereign entity or through its participation as an equity or interest holder in projects within its sovereign jurisdiction (home country). Production entitlements arising from activities or interests outside of its home country are excluded. First party6 entitlement is the share of production after hydrocarbons have been produced and allocated to cover costs and investments incurred by Eni. These entitlements are mainly paid in‐kind and are taken at the source. Such production entitlements are reported on an accrual basis. The monetary value of in‐kind payments is calculated based on market prices, determined on the basis of the contractual mechanisms provided in each PSA. When Eni is the joint‐venture operator, host government entitlements are reported in their full amount. Where the national oil company (NOC) is also an equity partner in the joint venture, their production entitlement is reported in addition to the government's share of production. The NOC's entitlement as a partner will include both their share of production as investor return as well as their entitlement for the reimbursement of their costs, solely in relation to the activities performed in the home country.

In certain PSAs, Eni and the government agree to entrust the execution of extractive operations to a separate company (incorporated joint venture) that retains the role of operator, while Eni (or a subsidiary of Eni) retains the mineral right. The operator (which is not controlled by Eni) generally maintains the records that determine the sharing of production between the counterparties. In the process of determining and communicating the production entitlement due to each party and making the arrangements for the parties to physically receive their entitlements, the operator is effectively making the payment to the government. This Report does not include the whole payment calculated based on the government entitlement because the operator is not controlled by Eni. In these types of contracts, Eni's payments generally are limited to corporate income taxes calculated on the pre‐tax profit pertaining to Eni. Finally, in the case of incorporated joint ventures that are at the same time operator of a petroleum project and holder of the underlying mineral rights, no payment amounts are reported by Eni both because those entities are not controlled by Eni and because these joint ventures are obligated to pay taxes on corporate profits to governments.

Taxes

The Report includes taxes levied on income, profits and production coming from exploration and production of minerals, oil, natural gas and other natural resources. Taxes include in‐kind volumes due by Eni to local tax authorities under PSAs (tax oil), which provide the tax obligations of the second party to be settled by the NOCs out of its share of profit oil. The monetary value of those payments is determined using the same method as per the production entitlements. Taxes levied on consumption, personnel, sales, procurement (contractor's withholding taxes), environmental, property, customs and excise are not reportable under the Regulations.

Royalties

These are payments for the rights to extract oil and gas resources, typically a set percentage of revenue or production less any deductions that may be taken.

Dividends

These are dividends that are paid in lieu of production entitlements or royalties. Dividends paid by Eni to a government as an ordinary shareholder are excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no reportable amounts under this type.

6 Government or National Oil Company which as part of an oil contract transfers to an oil company the right to carry out operations in a geographic area.

Signature, discovery and production bonuses

These are one‐off contractual payments to governments for bonuses, e.g. paid upon assignment of exploration permit, or when a commercial discovery is declared or an agreement/contract is signed, or production has commenced or reached a project milestone. Signature, discovery and production bonuses are included in the Report.

License fees, rental fees, entry fees and other considerations for licenses and/or concessions

These are payments set by law or contracts for acquiring a license for gaining access to an area where exploration, development and production activities are performed. Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to the extractive sector, or to access to extractive resources, are excluded. Also excluded are payments made in return for services provided by a Government.

Infrastructure construction or improvements

These are payments which relate to the construction or improvement of infrastructure (road, bridge or rail) not substantially dedicated for the use of extractive activities. Payments which are of a social investment in nature, for example building a school or hospital, are excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no reportable infrastructure payments to a Government.

Materiality

The regulation provides that payments below €100,000 made in the reporting period are not reported, whether made as a single payment or as a series of related payments. Such a disclosure threshold has been applied in this report, and such payments therefore excluded, when cumulative payments were below €100,000 aggregated. This materiality threshold does not apply to payments made in Italy.

Reporting currency

Payments are reported in thousand Euros. Payments made in currencies other than Euros are conventionally translated at the average exchange rate of the reporting period.

Assurance of the Independent Auditing Firm

PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A has undertaken a limited assurance engagement on this Report in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000.

Information provided on a voluntary basis

In order to achieve greater transparency, Eni is reporting on a voluntary basis and with the prior consent of host countries' relevant authorities, the governments' production entitlements at certain service agreements operated by Eni considering that this type of contracts, which are out of the scope of the rule, are similar to production sharing agreements, in addition to the payments made Eni's subsidiaries and proportionally‐ consolidated entities. The table that includes payments reported on a voluntary basis is published on page 22 and has not been verified by the Independent Auditing Firm.

Independent limited assurance report

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE "REPORT ON PAYMENTS TO GOVERMENTS 2021 OF ENI GROUP"

To the board of directors of Eni SpA

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement in respect of the accompanying Report on payments to governments 2021 of Eni Group (hereinafter also the "Report") for the year ended 31 December 2021, prepared for the purpose of the Chapter I "Payment transparency provisions" of Legislative Decree No. 139 dated 18 August 2015 (the "Decree").

Responsibilities of the Directors

The directors of Eni SpA are responsible for the preparation of the Report in accordance with the criteria set out in the Decree and with the principles shown in the "Basis of presentation" section of the Report. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISOC Italia 1) and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Auditor's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Report based on the procedures we have performed. We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements - Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Information ("ISAE 3000 revised") issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board for limited assurance engagements. That standard requires that we plan and perform procedures to obtain limited assurance about whether the Report is free from material misstatement.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included inquiries, mainly of personnel of the Company responsible for the preparation of the Report, inspection of documents, recalculations, agreeing and reconciling with underlying records and other procedures designed to obtain evidence considered useful.

In detail, we performed the following procedures:

  • Inquiries of the company's personnel responsible for the preparation of the information included in the Report to understand and evaluate the appropriateness of the methods and reporting policies implemented to comply with the Decree;
  • Analysis of the processes performed to gather quantitative and qualitative information disclosed in the Report and test on a sample basis of the relevant support documentation;
  • Analytical procedures to identify and discuss any unusual payments in the Report;
  • Reconciling the underlying accounting records to the Report.

The procedures performed were less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement conducted in accordance with ISAE 3000 revised and, consequently, we did not obtain assurance that we became aware of all significant facts and circumstances that might be identified with reasonable assurance procedures.

Limited Assurance Conclusion

Based on the procedures we have performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Report on payments to governments 2021 of Enj Group for the year ended 31 December 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in the Decree and with the principles shown in the "Basis of presentation" section of the Report.

Basis of preparation

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the explanatory notes to the Report which describe the basis of preparation. The Report has been prepared for the purpose illustrated in the opening paragraph of this report. As a result, the Report may not be suitable for another purpose. This report is intended solely for the purpose illustrated in the opening paragraph and, therefore, it cannot be used for other purposes.
