Investor presentation
New York May 19, 2022
We should all feel nothing but shame for the reputation that finance has earned itself in the last few years, but if you manage to guide healthy capital from successful businesses and the assets of families that wish to invest them intelligently in companies that want to grow, you are genuinely doing one of the most beneficial jobs in the world.

TIP ACQUIRES A STAKE IN SIMBIOSI
TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER FOR AGRIBUSINESS AND THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
- Simbiosi (www.simbiosi.tech) is the parent company of some companies, originally attributable to Neoruralehub S.r.l. - the first Nature Based Solutions Valley, started by Piero Manzoni on the intuition of Giuseppe Natta, pioneer of the circular economy since the seventies - which develop technologies, solutions and patents that can be used in many applications aimed at saving natural resources (air, water, materials and soil) and energy.
- Piero Manzoni who has a long experience in the development of technological systems for the environmental and energy industry - is co-founder and CEO of Simbiosi.
- Simbiosi after an articulated corporate process will control all the activities and technologies developed in over 20 years, also tested at the Giulio Natta Innovation Center and large "captive" farms, to provide ecosystem services to industrial companies and municipalities.
- Starting from the concept of circular economy, Simbiosi has developed know-how, skills, technologies and unique patents to maximize the intelligent use of resources, mainly agri-food and to use them responsibly to reduce the quantities of CO2 emitted by recovering resources from waste, to produce energy from innovative renewable resources and to fight climate imbalances.
- With the transaction, TIP works alongside Piero Manzoni and the top management to accelerate the development of Simbiosi in market growth, in a clearly strategic segment of the global economy and an environment that will certainly be increasingly circular, healthy and sustainable.
SIMBIOSI TECHNOLOGIES
- Simbiosi technologies already partially proposed with great success to primary customers of the agri-food and multi-utility industry - are able to meet the needs of companies through:
- − proprietary solutions for recovering the nutritional elements of organic waste matrices (so-called digesters) to produce fertilizers for agronomic use and clean, renewable and storable energy, for an agriculture capable of capturing high quantities of CO2 by reducing the use of chemistry, for a regenerative agriculture with low consumption of resources. A digester with a capacity of 120,000 t / year of waste and effluent has been already installed and is fully functional and totally autonomous in terms of energy;
- − proprietary cold production solutions and control systems capable of drastically reducing energy consumption for refrigeration (the so-called "Chiller"). Now, a number of Chillers are installed in the factories of leading agri-food companies with electricity savings of around 60% (equivalent - for each Chiller - to 1,200 tons of CO2, the absorption of about 25,000 trees);
- − Integrated cogeneration and heat recovery plants, with "machine learning" systems to recover the thermal energy of the engines and production processes and thus maximize the overall efficiency of the system, already used by many plants of leading companies;
- − plants for enhancing the thermal content of water to activate energy savings and allow savings of CO2 and water;
- − Environmental Block Chain systems for measuring decarbonisation in production processes, also using satellites for monitoring and saving CO2 already proposed and used by agri-food companies
IEH INVESTS IN LANDI RENZO
ITACA EQUITY HOLDING WILL INVEST IN LANDI RENZO THROUGH A CAPITAL INCREASE
- The Board of Directors of March 15th approved the commitment to cover the subscription, through Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., up to a maximum of 39.5 million euros, of the foreseen capital increase for a maximum of 60 million euros of Landi Renzo S.p.A., a company listed in the Euronext Star Milan segment operating in the production, assembly and distribution of products and fuel systems for motor vehicles that use alternative sources, in particular natural gas and hydrogen as well as compression systems.
- TIP's commitment is part of a non-binding term sheet signed on March 15th between Girefin S.p.A. and Gireimm S.r.l., which will continue to hold approximately 59% of Landi Renzo S.p.A., and Itaca Equity Holding, relating to the entry of the latter in the Landi Renzo group. Girefin and Gireimm have in turn undertaken the commitment to subscribe, through voluntary offsetting of credits, the share of capital necessary to guarantee - having taken into account the commitment undertaken by TIP - the same capital increase up to 50 million euros.

IPO CHIORINO
TIP AT 25% OF LIMONTA GROUP
strategic partnership to accelerate growth
- Investment of 89 million euros partly through a capital increase and partly through the purchase of shares – in Limonta Group
- Limonta is one of the leading European player in the high-end textile sector: a complete textile supply chain, which is combined with resin coating, coating, coagulation and printing technologies, with particular focus on the development of sustainable products
- The transaction aims to support the ownership and management in the growth path of the group also for external lines - so that Limonta can have the role of aggregator in the high value-added textile sector in Italy, with a view to "make system" in a sector that is still very fragmented
- The majority of the new investment has been done by TIP, the residual amount through Asset Italia
-
The Limonta family and TIP have also agreed to foresee the listing of the company on the stock exchange in the medium term.
-
Limonta is one of the European leaders in the high-end textile sector, able to carry out both warping, weaving, ennobling processes, as well as coating, resin coating, coagulation and printing processes.
- The coexistence of these two productive and technological "souls" makes Limonta unique in the international competitive panorama of plain, jacquard and coated fabrics.
- It has developed skills, know-how and a range of processes and technical solutions to position itself as the privileged partner of all the largest international luxury maisons, with which Limonta has been partnering for a very long time.
- It designs and manufactures fabrics for the clothing, accessories and furniture sectors (both indoors and outdoors).
- Limonta is also active in the production, distribution and retail sale (also online) of luxury household linen under the Society brand.
- Limonta has shown a strong and consolidated commitment towards ESG issues, a condition that has proved necessary over time to be one of the strategic suppliers of the great luxury maisons (that - in fact – evaluate and verify the Group on a constant basis to this respect).
- 2021 turnover of 173,9 million Euro, an Ebitda of 41,1 million and a net profit of 25,4 million with a cash position of 83,9 million.

NET SALES AND NFP BETTER THAN EXPECTED

- E-commerce sales increased of 23% over 2020 and by more than 100% compared with 2019.
- Adjusted net financial position at January 31, 2022 was roughly 198 million euro, a marked improvement both compared with forecasts and with January 31, 2021.

In line with the Asset Italia model, ITACA EQUITY HOLDING involves in the investments 45 family offices. TIP will directly dedicate 100 million to this project out of 600 million of soft commitment guaranteed by family offices, over 5 years.

A CULTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY
For a detailed description of TIP activities related to sustainability please refer to www.tipspa.it/sustainability
Corporate responsibility is particularly important to TIP and plays a very significant role in building a better workplace and an increasingly responsible community capable of protecting the environment and of developing the skills of its people according to an ethical approach so as to ensure that all areas of its endeavors prosper, thereby promoting employment and innovation and creating new enterprises focused on an approach to doing business that is healthy, sound and sustainable in the medium term and, ideally, in the long term as well.
For more than ten years, the cover pages of all documents prepared by TIP intended for external counterparties have contained the following statement:
"We should all feel nothing but shame for the reputation that finance has earned itself in the last few years, but if you manage to guide healthy capital from successful businesses and the assets of families that wish to invest them intelligently in companies that want to grow, develop and generate value, you are doing one of the most beneficial jobs in the world".
This is the TIP Group's mission. Indeed, the most significant possible impact that we can seek to have on the local community and the environment around us is to promote sound, balanced economic growth by companies through our work.
A CULTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY 2021 results

In particular (i) the ethics code has been updated in order to make it an instrument that is even more consistent with the policies and objectives that the company sets itself in terms of sustainability; (ii) 231 Model incorporates the most recent regulatory changes in addition to the indications expressed by the Confindustria guidelines issued in June 2021. The combination of the two documents distinct in content but interconnected by nature, allows TIP to orient its business according to a preventive control system with respect to the commission of crimes.
