Dear Shareholders,

This report (hereinafter referred to as "Report") was drafted by the Board of Directors of Atlantia S.p.A. (hereinafter referred to as "Atlantia" or the "Company") pursuant to Article 125-ter of Decree-Law no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as subsequently amended and integrated (hereinafter referred to as "TUF") and to Article 72 of the Regulation adopted by Consob Resolution no. 11971 on 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended and integrated (hereinafter referred to as "Issuers' Regulation"), and in compliance with Annex 3A, chart no. 3 of the same Issuers' Regulation.

These amendments to the Articles are required to further improve the corporate governance standards of Atlantia S.p.A., aiming to increase our appreciation by the market.

More specifically, this Report on the sole item of the Agenda of the extraordinary session of the General Meeting, shows the proposals that Atlantia Board of Directors would like to submit to Your approval. They envisage:

  • (i) The inclusion of a provision for the identification of the Shareholders and the criteria for apportioning costs in the event such apportioning is made upon request of the Shareholders;
  • (ii) The implementation of certain amendments regarding the submission of lists for the election of the Board of Directors;
  • (iii) An amendment in the discipline of the so-called "plenary" meetings of the Board of Directors;
  • (iv) The inclusion of a provision on the establishment of committees within the Board and relative compensation for their members.

Given the arrangements for performing the General Meeting - pursuant to Article 106 of Decree-Law no.18 of 17 March 2020, as converted into Law, with amendments, from Article 1, Paragraph 1, Law no. 27 of 24 April 2020 and following amendments and integrations - to simplify the procedure to release the instructions for voting, the above-mentioned proposals will be voted separately by the Board.

The amendment proposals in question are reported below in detail.

A. INCLUSION OF A PROVISION FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AND THE CRITERIA FOR APPORTIONING COSTS IN THE EVENT SUCH APPORTIONING IS MADE UPON REQUEST OF THE SHAREHOLDERS, WITH AMENDMENT OF ARTICLE 8 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Article 83-duodecies of TUF recognises the right for the Company to request, by means of intermediaries and at its expense, the identification of the shareholders holding shares equal to more than 0.5% of the share capital with the right to vote. This provision aims to facilitate the coordination of Shareholders when exercising the rights that require qualified participation.

Moreover, paragraph three of the same article, provides that the Company should submit the same request on application by the Members that account for half of the minimum share as defined by Consob pursuant to Article 147-ter, paragraph 1, of TUF (to submit the lists for the election of the Board of Directors).

Therefore, the Board of Directors proposes to amend Article 8 of the Articles of Association and, more specifically, to include a provision concerning the identification of Shareholders, with the indication that the costs connected to the identification request, on application by the Shareholder be apportioned equitably to the Company and the applying Shareholders. Said provision is intended to discourage the Shareholders from using this instrument for purposes that are not consistent with the purpose of the provision.

This is without prejudice to the provisions under Article 133-bis, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulation no. 11971/99 that provides that the Company should bear all the costs connected to the identification request when the Shareholders exercise the right stated under Article 83-duodecies, paragraph 3 of TUF, over the 6 months following the closure of the financial year and anyway before the ordinary annual meeting, and provided that no other identification request was made in the same period.

To facilitate a better understanding of the amendments that the Board of Directors intends to carry out, please find them reported in the following summary table divided in two columns; the left column reports Article 8 as in the existing Articles of Association, the right column reports the texts including the proposed amendments and integrations.

"The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Atlantia S.p.A., having examined the Explanatory Report of the Board Directors and the proposal contained therein,

Resolve

    1. to approve the amendment of Article 8 of the Articles of Association, by replacing it with the text reported in the right column of the table under letter A of the Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors;
    1. to authorise the Board of Directors and, on its behalf, the Chairman of the Board and the CEO, severally and with the authority to delegate any and all powers, none excluded or excepted, necessary or appropriate in order to implement the foregoing resolution, as well as to make such amendments, additions or non-substantive deletions to said resolution as may be necessary, at the request of any competent authority when filing such amendments with the Trade' Register, in their capacity as the Company's representatives."

B. AMENDMENTS RELATED TO THE SUBMISSION OF THE LIST FOR THE ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BY AMENDING ARTICLE 20 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board of Directors intends to propose certain amendments to Article 20 of the Article of Association concerning the submission of the lists for the election of the Board of Directors, with the purpose of:

  • (i) clarifying that the submission of the list on behalf of the outgoing Board is optional;
  • (ii) simplifying the procedures for the submission of minority lists and, more specifically, to free minority Shareholders from the obligation to include at least two candidates in the list submitted by them. Accordingly, the Board of Directors proposes to recast Article 20, by including additional provisions to guarantee, in any case, the presence of the minimum number of independent Directors, according to existing provisions.

To facilitate a better understanding of the amendments that the Board of Directors intends to carry out, please find them reported in the following summary table divided in two columns; the left column reports Article 20 as in the existing Articles of Association, the right column reports the texts including the proposed amendments and integrations.

Any fractions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number;

c) the other Directors shall be taken from the other lists that are not in any manner connected, even indirectly, with the shareholders who submitted or voted for the list that obtained the most votes. For this purpose, the votes cast for those other lists shall be successively divided by one, two, three up to the number of Directors to be elected. The resultant quotients shall be allocated to the candidates on each list who shall then be ranked in decreasing order by the total quotients allocated to them: the candidates elected shall be those with the highest quotients, provided that the required balance between the gender quotas has been complied with;

Members of the Board of Directors shall be elected in the following manner:

a) for the purposes of allocation of the Directors to be elected, account is not taken of lists that do not obtain a percentage of votes at least equal to half of the percentage required for submission of the lists;

b) four fifths of the Directors to be elected shall be taken in sequential order from the list receiving the majority of votes cast by the holders of share carrying voting rights, and in compliance with the applicable laws concerning gender quotas. Any fractions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number;

c) the other Directors shall be taken from the other lists that are not in any manner connected, even indirectly, with the shareholders who submitted or voted for the list that obtained the most votes. For this purpose, the votes cast for those other lists shall be successively divided by one, two, three up to the number of Directors to be elected. The resultant quotients shall be allocated to the candidates on each list who shall then be ranked in decreasing order by the total quotients allocated to them: the candidates elected shall be those with the highest quotients, provided that the required balance between the gender quotas has been complied with;

d) in the event the voting procedures do not result in the election of a sufficient number of Directors satisfying the independence requirements defined under the existing law, the last candidate of the majority list that does not meet the independence requirements shall be excluded and substituted with the following candidate of the same list, in progressive order, having said requirements. This procedure, if necessary, will be repeated up to the election off

all required independent Directors;

d) if, following the vote and the above procedures, legislation concerning the balance between the gender quotas elected has not been complied with, the candidates which would result to be in the various lists shall be disposed in one single decreasing ranking list, based on the quotients calculated in accordance with the procedure described in letter c). The candidate in such ranking list from the most represented gender having the lowest quotient in the ranking shall thus be replaced by the first of the candidates from the least represented gender to not be elected and belonging to the same list. If there are no other candidates in this list, the above replacement shall be approved by the General Meeting with the majority required by law.

If replacement of the candidate from the most represented gender with the lowest quotient in the ranking does not, however, enable the minimum quota required by the legislation in force to be reached, the above replacement process shall also be applied to the candidate from the most represented gender with the penultimate quotient, and so on rising from the lowest ranked candidate.

In the event that there are candidates with equal quotients, that candidate on the list from which no Director has already been elected or with the lowest number of Directors elected, shall be elected, provided that the applicable laws concerning the balance between gender quotas have been complied with. In the event of a tie of list votes, and, therefore, equal quotients, the General Meeting shall hold a new election and the candidate receiving the majority of votes shall be elected.

If only one list is submitted, or if no lists are submitted, or if, for any reason, it is not possible to appoint one or more Directors in accordance with this article, the General Meeting shall decide with the majority required by law, ensuring in any event that the necessary number of Directors meet the independence requirements established by law and that the applicable laws concerning the balance between gender quotas have been complied with.

e) if, following the vote and the above procedures, legislation concerning the balance between the gender quotas elected has not been complied with, the candidates which would result to be in the various lists shall be disposed in one single decreasing ranking list, based on the quotients calculated in accordance with the procedure described in letter c). The candidate in such ranking list from the most represented gender having the lowest quotient in the ranking shall thus be replaced by the first of the candidates from the least represented gender to not be elected and belonging to the same list, without prejudice to compliance with the minimum number of independent Directors provided for in the applicable law. If there are no other candidates in this list, the above replacement shall be approved by the General Meeting with the majority required by law.

If replacement of the candidate from the most represented gender with the lowest quotient in the ranking does not, however, enable the minimum quota required by the legislation in force to be reached, the above replacement process shall also be applied to the candidate from the most represented gender with the penultimate quotient, and so on rising from the lowest ranked candidate, without prejudice to compliance with the minimum number of independent Directors provided for in the applicable law.

In the event that there are candidates with equal quotients, that candidate on the list from which no Director has already been elected or with the lowest number of Directors elected, shall be elected, provided that the applicable laws concerning the balance between gender quotas have been complied with and in compliance with the minimum number of independent Directors provided for in the applicable law. In the event of a tie of list votes, and, therefore, equal quotients, the General Meeting shall hold a new election and the candidate receiving the majority of votes shall be elected.

between gender quotas have been complied with.
