* * * * *

The Chairman announces that on May 8, 2020 a video was published on the Company's Internet site containing, as every year, her comments on the macroeconomic and energy scenarios and corporate governance. The transcription of the video is as follows.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS

"Dear Shareholders,

This year, due to the health emergency, our annual meeting cannot be held in its usual format with your physical attendance.

As you will be aware, based on rules issued in order to contain the spread of the pandemic, your participation in the shareholders' meeting may only take place by way of granting your proxies or sub-proxies to a Shareholders' Representative appointed by the Company.

We have, however, done so in a manner that ensures you are able to exercise your participation rights to the fullest extent possible under these difficult circumstances.

Therefore, unlike in previous years, the answers to your questions submitted prior to the meeting will be published on the Company's website prior to the shareholders' meeting in time for you to read them and decide, in full autonomy, how to instruct the shareholders' representative to vote.

We have also made it possible for each shareholder to provide, in advance, any resolution proposals to be made at the meeting. These proposals will be published on the Company's website so that the other shareholders can assess them and decide whether or not to vote for them, should the proposing shareholder decide to confirm the proposal in the instructions to be given to the Shareholders' Representative.

This year, by way of the Shareholders' Representative, you will be called to discuss various items of business, including the 2019 annual report, the distribution of earnings, the appointment of the corporate bodies, and the report on remuneration policy.

In this respect, I would like to underscore that this year, and for the first time, your vote on the remuneration policy will be binding and no longer merely advisory as in previous years.

1. The scenario

As every year I would like to share a few comments on the energy and economic scenario.

As we all know, we are living through a dramatic, unprecedented time of great discontinuity and uncertainty. The environment in which we operate, which are essential for a company such as ours, are suffering, throughout the world, the severe impacts of the pandemic.

In order to continue adapting to such a volatile, constantly evolving scenario, Eni has already undertaken in recent years, under the current term, a process of major transformation, as proposed by the CEO and agreed upon by the Board of Directors.

The integrated strategy that has been implemented, together with strong, reinforced governance, has made Eni a resilient company, one that is financially solid and able to face moments that are as difficult and dramatic as these circumstances we have before us.

Thanks to the extensive restructuring that has taken place over time, Eni will also, therefore, be able to ensure value creation and business sustainability over the medium to long term.

1.1. The macroeconomic environment

We are clearly operating in a scenario that is more depressed and uncertain than ever.

The pandemic has drastically altered a global context which, after the global economic slowdown in 2019, had begun to show signs of improvement in the first few months of 2020. There was a certain optimism, the possibility of a truce, even if only temporary, between the United States and China and a gradual recovery in international trade and even a gradual improvement in manufacturing output. In reality, today, with the outbreak of the pandemic, we are living through circumstances which are, unfortunately, very similar to the depression of the 1930s. The global economy is in a recession. Estimates say a three percent drop, but there are expectations that it could be even worse.

This is a very particular sort of crisis. Normally, crises come from the demand side. Due to the lockdown and the shutdown of all social activity, we are experiencing a twofold crisis — on both the demand side and the supply side — a double shock that is, of course, impacting all aspects of our social lives and all economic activity, especially in the service sector, which accounts for a large part of employment worldwide and represents a fundamental component of GDP.

The crisis and the recession are hitting the whole world. The United States, for example, lost 4.8% of GDP in the first quarter, and forecasts point to a drop of 5.9% for 2020 as a whole. China lost 6.8% of GDP in the first quarter, and forecasts point to a 1% growth rate in 2020, in a country where growth rates were of at least 6%.

The euro area, too, has been hit hard, with an expected 7.5% drop in GDP, and within this context, Italy is also suffering. Italian GDP was already stagnant, and forecasts for this year show a drop in GDP of between 8 and 9%, making it a crisis that is even more severe than the financial crisis of 2009.

Furthermore, the spread of the coronavirus has increased the volatility and instability of the financial markets, resulting in increased risk aversion and a downward trend in stock prices.

In order to counter this situation, a series of very important actions were taken, also by central banks around the world, injecting substantial liquidity into the markets while zeroing interest rates, and this is, of course, helping a bit. In the same way, countries around the world have been implementing expansionary budget policies in order to support households and businesses through these difficult times, and this has taken place in Italy as well, of course.

Nonetheless, the global dimension of this crisis should push countries to do more, especially in Europe. Countries in the euro area in particular should rapidly move towards a series of shared responses and coordinated actions in order to support the dramatically-hit economy.

The debate currently under way on mechanisms such as the ESM, SURE, additional EIB funds, and the new recovery fund, is positive and important. It is now important to define the entity of the recovery fund and the procedures and timing for disbursement of the funds as quickly as possible.

1.2. The energy scenario

The particularly heavy impact of the pandemic can be seen, not only in the economy generally, but perhaps even more in the energy industry specifically.

The oil industry

After closing 2019 with an average Brent price of \$64/barrel and opening 2020 with prices approaching \$70/barrel, conditions changed completely, creating a situation of uncertainty. The impact of the pandemic on global oil demand in 2020 will be strong, although at this moment it is difficult to forecast its size. Growth expectations continue to be adjusted downward, and we certainly expect a very sharp drop in consumption, stronger again than in 2008-2009.

The impact will be heavy not so much in the first quarter, but particularly in the second quarter of 2020, due to the lockdown that took place just about everywhere around the world. For 2021, on the other hand, we are expecting a rebound of oil demand.

In response to an unprecedented drop in demand, refineries opted for decisive cuts in production around the world, and this further fuelled the surplus in the supply of crude oil on the markets.

With regard to crude oil supply, the breaking down of the OPEC+ agreement in early March caused further market instability. The end of the alliance between the cartel and certain non-OPEC countries — Russia first and foremost — triggered a dramatic price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia in particular, which caused the price of crude oil to fall below \$30/barrel. Despite the new agreement on record cuts, in both amount and duration, reached at the OPEC+ meeting of April 9, only partial relief was seen in relation to the growing surplus. The global storage system, the only outlet within a context of collapsing demand, is nearing maximum capacity, putting a pressure on logistics that is bringing current Brent prices based on physical trades to around \$20/barrel.

Finally, collapsing prices are already forcing many producers to take drastic steps to cut costs and investment and to reduce their production targets for 2020, with cuts in investments reportedly in the range of 20% to 25%, and this concerns our company as well.

The gas industry

The spread of the coronavirus is making things equally critical in the gas industry.

We are faced with a marked weakening of international markets due to the pandemic, adding to pre-existing oversupply pressures globally, which had already, in 2019, brought about reductions of 40% in spot prices in Europe and Asia compared with 2018 and of 20% in the U.S.

Today, the size of the contraction in gas demand connected with strategies to contain the epidemic, which has now spread to many countries, has yet to be fully grasped, as I have already mentioned with regard to the oil industry, given the high degree of uncertainty on the extent and duration of the lockdown. In particular, we are expecting a downward adjustment to the growth of gas consumption in China, which was already slowing in 2019, and a 5-7% reduction in gas demand in Europe, compared with 2019.

Despite a great uncertainty on demand, it is believed that gas spot prices may, in the last month, have approached a minimum between \$1.50 and \$2/MMBtu in the United States and around \$2-3/MMBtu in Europe and Asia, which stimulated a reduction in LNG supply worldwide. It is also estimated that spot prices in Europe and Asia could remain at this level until the end of summer before gradually recovering in the autumn of 2020.

These low prices could stimulate gas demand in certain countries, such as

Japan and South Korea, by promoting a shift from coal to gas, and would clearly be a good thing.

In the United States, on the other hand, the drop in crude prices is expected to lead to a reduction in gas production associated with unconventional oil, which could in the coming months foster a recovery in prices at the hub compared with current lows.

For now, we expect the impact of COVID-19 on the gas markets to be limited to most of 2020 and a portion of 2021. Over the subsequent time horizon, however, we expect a gradual rebalancing of the gas markets thanks to a sharp slowdown in start-ups of new liquefaction capacity combined with constantly growing gas demand worldwide, further stimulated by current low prices. Forecasts for spot prices in Europe and Asia, therefore, reflect a gradual recovery in 2022–2023. This is the macroeconomic outlook and the scenarios for the oil and gas industries within which our Company operates.

2. Eni's strategy

I believe that, thanks to what we have done, which I will describe in a moment, Eni is structurally ready to seize opportunities for development and efficiency, even in a period as dramatic as the one we are facing.

In the past, our Company had already shown an ability to adapt, be flexible, and succeed in a highly challenging energy industry by leveraging our core values, which are our know-how, our people, and our great aptitude for research, innovation and technology.

I truly believe that in recent years, under the leadership of Claudio Descalzi, the Board of Directors has profoundly transformed our organization to shape the Company we will see throughout the coming decades. And we have done this through two interconnected stages of transformation.

The first stage began immediately in 2014, anticipating the first great collapse in oil prices and transforming Eni into an integrated more streamlined, less costly, and much more resilient energy company, which made its core business of exploration and production the focal point from which we pumped out a series of extraordinary results, both in terms of production and cash flows. Not only did Eni work on its core business of exploration and production, but also brought back to profitability all downstream businesses that had been generating losses in previous years.

Subsequently, during the first stage of transformation, we pursued a grand strategy of geographical diversification (take, for example, our strengthening in Norway, our entry into Mexico, and becoming major partners in Abu Dhabi and other parts of the United Arab Emirates) and segment diversification (such as our major investment in the Ruwais refinery).

All of this was done while reinforcing the group's financial resilience and ability to generate cash in a volatile, highly complex landscape.

The second stage began more recently, in 2019, with the launch of our long-term plan through 2050, a very solid strategy that is the most transformative ever implemented in the organization's history.

In this 2050 plan, Eni remains an integrated industrial organization. We will have a presence throughout the value chain, but it will be completely transformed. The new upstream segment will be a mix of gas and renewables. All industrial processes will be converted to sustainability, and all our products will be fully decarbonized. This will result in an 80% cut in emissions by 2050. Such an innovative strategy has not come about all of a sudden in response to public opinion, but started long ago. It is connected with the first stage of transformation I've just described, was very much agreed upon by the Board of Directors, and will mark the future of our organization.

3. Corporate Governance

3.1. The internal control and of risk management system

Underlying this extraordinary transformation, and behind the results achieved and the strategy pursued, there is a very strong team and CEO, a board that works well, very strong management, but also a corporate governance system, as model of administration and control, that supports a relationship of trust with all shareholders and stakeholders and which ensures the strong and adequate assessment of risk while helping to create sustainable value over the long term.

At Eni, responsibility, integrity and transparency are the cornerstones of the system, to which the company mission also testifies.

Over the past six years, we have done much to improve our already excellent governance.

In Eni's governance, a central role is played by our controls system. We have created a system of internal controls and of risk management – which is regularly and carefully assessed by the boards of directors and of statutory auditors – which aims to ensure the efficiency and efficacy of the controls and our alignment with international best practice. We constantly conduct benchmark analyses to determine whether we are aligned with these best practices or can do better.

In this regard, I would like to underscore the enhancement, also driven by the board, of internal anti-corruption rules and regulations. In January 2017, as a result of these efforts, Eni became the first Italian company to receive certification of its anti-bribery management system based on the first international standard for such systems, and in subsequent years, most recently in December 2019, the Company has undergone external audits for maintenance of this certification, all of which have had a positive outcome. Eni takes an integrated approach to the control system, both in risk management – and I must say that our risk management system is truly

excellent – and compliance.

Eni is, in particular, the only industrial business in Italy to have an internal, integrated compliance unit that is separate from legal affairs – which was also called for by the board –monitoring legal risks in all areas of the organization. Our compliance unit has more than just an ex-post advisory role, but also takes a risk-based approach in assessing compliance risks, working on a preventive basis and promoting communication and training efforts aimed at disseminating a culture of compliance at all levels of the organization.

This work has brought compliance to be seen no longer as a cost to the Company, but rather an opportunity and a fundamental part of safeguarding the Company against risks, protecting our assets, and contributing to the efficiency and efficacy of all operations in full compliance with the rules and the code of ethics and with the utmost focus on risks.

Alongside these control functions, there is the Internal Audit unit, which, as of 2014, reports to the board through me, thereby ensuring its need for independence. I would say that this innovation has worked well, and should be maintained.

3.1.2 Legal proceedings

The control system has been structured so as to ensure the proper management of legal proceedings concerning the Company. In particular, in the event of investigations into members of the Company's corporate bodies or senior management, the Control and Risk Committee oversees the legal affairs unit in order to ensure the utmost objectivity and transparency of control efforts.

In this role, the Control and Risk Committee works in close coordination with the other oversight bodies – the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Body – and the relevant company functions to ensure a thorough examination, including (where appropriate) with the help of outside consultants, of facts under investigation. Both the judicial authorities in Italy and the United States (where the Company is also publicly listed) and the market authorities, CONSOB in Italy and the SEC in the U.S., are kept informed in a timely manner of the results of these examinations, and the Company maintains constant contact with all of these authorities in a spirit of the utmost transparency and collaboration.

On these issues in particular, and as done at shareholders' meeting in previous years, I would like to give you a brief update on the most significant legal proceedings, relations with supervisory authorities, and international investigations that concern the Company and certain of its managers.

I refer to proceedings in the trial phase and to investigations by public prosecutors still in progress.

With regard to the proceedings in the trial phase, the proceeding relating to corruption allegedly committed by Saipem in Algeria was closed in second instance by a ruling issued in January 2020. The Milan Court acquitted Eni again, its former Chief Executive Officer and a manager of the company on all charges. Saipem, too, and all its managers involved were acquitted. The acquittal by the Milan Court confirms the outcome of internal investigations conducted by independent third-party consultants. Prior to this ruling, in October 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice had already ruled not to proceed against Eni. Most recently, in April 2020, Eni reached a settlement with the SEC concerning certain exceptions involving financial reporting and fiscal issues related to the Algeria affair (dating back to 2010). At this time, the SEC acknowledged the further acquittal of Eni.

With regard to the proceedings in progress before the Potenza Court in relation to the spill that occurred in February 2017, the Company confirms that it has completed the emergency containment activities and the supplemental elements of the characterisation plan are nearing completion.

Of the estimated total of 400 tonnes of spilled oil, 85% has been recovered to date within the oil centre and the contiguous industrial area, which sampling and analyses have shown are the only contaminated areas.

The allegation that the leakage began in 2012 is unfounded, as the scientific dating of the spilled product confirms with certainty that the loss could have occurred at most a few months before February 2017 and certainly not as long ago as 2012. The Court of Cassation also annulled the pre-trail detention issued against Eni executives.

The Company now awaits the date of the preliminary hearing.

The proceeding involving the acquisition of the OPL 245 block in Nigeria is awaiting to be argued, having completed the preliminary oral arguments in early February 2020. There remains some uncertainty as to the timing of the ruling given, in part, the lockdown. Enquiries were also carried out for this case by independent external consultants, who over a period of almost four years carefully examined all of the documentation available to the Company and the documentation acquired by the public prosecutors following the closure of the investigation. In addition to this, the Board of Directors has appointed an independent law firm to assess, in a totally autonomous manner, whether the information received by the board was correct and whether the Board of Directors acted in the proper manner. Here, too, all investigations and all opinions requested have shown that the board did act in the proper manner. Once again, the enquiry found no illegal conduct on the part of the Company or its managers was uncovered. The Board of Directors has therefore been able to confirm its utmost confidence in the propriety of the Company's operations and its Chief Executive Officer. In October 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice ruled not to proceed against Eni in the OPL 245 affair, and even more recently, in April 2020, the SEC also came to a similar decision having not found the conditions for pursuing action against Eni.

Ongoing investigations concern the assignment of a number of oil licenses in the Congo, the alleged failure to declare a conflict of interest by the CEO and a case of alleged obstruction of justice.

The Congo proceeding involves the Company, which is being investigated under Legislative Decree 231, a manager and an employee. Internal enquiries, entrusted by the control bodies to independent third parties - an international law firm and a leading consulting firm – were, as always, thorough and involved all the material available to the Company. They have been under way for about two years and have not found evidence of the commission of any crimes by managers or employees of Eni to the benefit or the detriment of the Company. The control bodies continue to carefully monitor the matter and further assessments may be carried out in relation to the future closure of the preliminary investigations. Very recently, the SEC confirmed the closure of their investigation into Eni's activities in the Congo, having not found the conditions for pursuing action against the company.

In September 2019, the CEO received a warrant for alleged failure to report a conflict of interest related to the activities of a vendor of an Eni subsidiary in the Congo. Here, too, in-depth internal verifications, which the oversight bodies immediately entrusted to the same independent experts working on the case described above, were conducted of all the material provided voluntarily to the Company by the party being investigated (in addition to the material already available). These investigations have not yet provided evidence of the alleged crime or of any improper declarations issued by the CEO.

The investigation into the allegations of obstruction of justice began in February 2018. Given the involvement of a senior manager, the control bodies took action to investigate the matter further, engaging an external consultant to conduct the internal enquiry.

Moreover, as was done for the OPL 245 investigation, the Board has appointed trusted independent lawyers to obtain an independent assessment of the matter and identify the most appropriate actions in the interest, and reputation, of the Company.

Based on the outcome of the consultants' work, the board has approved a detailed plan of action, including organizational and oversight measures and sanctions. More specifically, as some internal negligence and management deficiencies emerged from the internal investigation, an enquiry into responsibility for these shortcomings was initiated immediately, concluding the adoption of appropriate disciplinary measures. Subsequently, within the scope of the same enquiry, the Company received a warrant for allegedly having provided benefits to a former external legal counsel, the primary subject of the investigation of obstruction of justice. The benefits in question were allegedly followed by trading agreements signed by ETS (and not by Eni) with the involvement of a number of former employees, who were immediately identified, terminated, and reported for fraud. Eni, having already declared to be the injured party in the proceedings, is taking action to protect its reputation and financial interests against the parties involved to various degrees.

Following the seizure of documents from the Company in January, and the extension of the enquiry to a number of other employees, the oversight bodies immediately initiated a verification of the materials of the seizure and hired and independent consultant.

These verifications have yet to produce documented evidence against the employees concerned.

No evidence of the Companies involvement, as per Italian Law 231, has emerged.

For investigations still under way, Eni continues to collaborate fully with the Public Prosecutor's office and Consob, and is providing them with all the documentation gathered during the enquiries and the related findings.

3.2. Strategic governance

Eni's governance arrangements also involve strategic issues, particularly those of a long-term nature. In 2014, in order to be ready to work increasingly on the issue of long-term strategies, the board established a Sustainability and Scenarios Committee specifically to convey how integral sustainability is to the organization's strategies. This committee is unique in the industry and even anticipates the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code. In 2017, the board also chose to establish an advisory board to monitor long-term trends in the energy markets, the energy transition, technological innovation, and geopolitics with the help of a number of international experts in the field.

This has helped to make Eni's system of governance among the most advanced in the international climate-change debate. Within the scope of the World Economic Forum Climate Governance Initiative, Eni has, as a result, has been named as one of the main points of reference for the energy industry and recognized as a model of best practice for the efficacy of climate governance and commitment to reporting.

3.3. Updating the corporate governance system

Eni's system of corporate governance is subject to ongoing assessment by the board in order to ensure its adequacy in relation to the needs of the Company. We also pay attention to what our peers are doing in order to understand if we can make improvements.

Indeed, in terms of governance, we have never limited ourselves to merely respecting the rules, but have taken a proactive approach as can be seen in the great many proposals made and innovative solutions introduced, for which we have, in many cases, served as a model for the market.

In this view, beginning in 2018, the board has begun to study two potential innovations in light of international experiences: a staggered board and the one-tier system of administration and control.

At last year's shareholders' meeting, I informed you that the board intended to begin a dialogue with the market and with public authorities concerning these potential innovations.

We then opened discussions with our leading investors, public authorities, and proxy advisors. We asked all of them to first provide their opinion on Eni's current system of governance and then on the two potential changes just mentioned.

From the feedback received, one important fact emerged: our investors consider our current system of government to be adequate, and they are highly satisfied with the Company, the strategies we have pursued, and the results we have achieved.

Nonetheless, they expressed an interest in and an openness to the innovations that could lead the Company to be better aligned with international models. In particular, the vast majority of the investors contacted said they were in favour of the one-tier system.

It is, after all, the most recognized system internationally and is the one used by Eni's peers, and it is more efficient in that it integrates controls into operations, while streamlining them and making them more proactive, coming into play before the fact rather than after.

We are fully aware that many factors will need to be taken into account.

It is possible, for example, that the size of the board will need to be increased, given the need to establish a management control committee within the board. The functions of this committee should also be appropriately supplemented, as compared with the base model defined by law, in order to ensure continuity with the functions of legal control now provided by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

And we want to be very clear here: changing the system must in no way entail a lowering of the level of controls. We actually want the controls to be more efficient and integrated into company operations in order to become an inextricable component.

The appointment of the members of the management control committee by the shareholders will help to reinforce its independence.

We leave this analysis to the next Board, which, if it agrees with it, will be able to submit a proposed change to the By-Laws at a future shareholders' meeting.

Conclusions

During these past few years, the Board of Directors have worked with the CEO to transform the Company and laying the foundations for lasting and sustainable growth, creating value for shareholders and all stakeholders.

The work done has enabled us to gain the confidence of investors, and it is our hope that the Company can continue along this path and complete the energy transition, while maintaining the profitability of our business.

I thank the shareholders who have accompanied us throughout the process and who will, I am certain, continue to draw satisfaction if they keep their confidence in the Company and our management.

I would also like to thank all the people of Eni: without them achieving the goals we have set ourselves would not have been possible. Their skills, dedication and sense of belonging are the distinctive strengths of this Company.

The dedication and sense of responsibility and of belonging of our people are deeply rooted values in the history and identity of the Company, and in this moment of emergency they have come through even stronger and more tangibly.

I thank all the directors for the professionalism, commitment, and responsibility with which they carried out their duties throughout this term and the previous one. Thanks to their efforts, this Company has been transformed and become much stronger.

I thank the Board of Statutory Auditors for carrying out their oversight on a preventive basis and not merely after an event has occurred, in a modern, integrated approach to management control.

Finally, on behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I would like to express our sincerest thanks and appreciation to Claudio Descalzi, our CEO, for the work he has done and the results he has achieved, as well as for his great strategic vision and the passion he has transmitted to everyone here at Eni.

The continued presence of Claudio Descalzi at the helm of Eni is a reassurance for all investors that the path undertaken will continue with success.

It shall be the responsibility of the new board to collaborate with the CEO in order to guide the Company through the current challenging situation and to implement the short and long-term strategies we have defined and which have garnered the full appreciation of investors.

I wish the best of luck to the new board, and I am certain they will do extraordinary work despite these challenging times.

Thank you."

The Chairman reports that on May 8, 2020 a video was published on the Company's Internet site containing, as every year, the Chief Executive Officer comments as well as his message to all Eni employees, regarding the Company performance, the actions taken by Eni to address the ongoing crisis linked to the COVID-19 emergency and future strategies; the Chairman requests the transcription of the CEO's message in the minutes.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE MESSAGE OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

"In this historic moment that we are living through as workers, citizens and individuals, I feel an even stronger need to strengthen communication within the organization.

In a period characterized by a need to ensure social distancing, I would also like to shorten the distances between us by taking advantage of the tools available to us.

The messages that we have shared on my blog and in two recent live streams have been a part of this effort. This message of mine intends to retrace the main aspects we have been discussing in recent days, aspects that have characterized the present day and which must take us into the future with the same passion that has always defined us.

Today, more than two months since the start of the health emergency in Italy related to the spread of COVID-19, infections have reached significant numbers of cases and have spread to a great many nations to varying degrees. More than four billion people are in the grips of the pandemic, and COVID-19 has become a global problem.

As we all know, the effect of the pandemic in Italy has been severe, especially in the northern regions, including a major impact on the economy and on people and employment. Above all, it has had a dramatic impact in terms of human life and of family suffering and upheaval, which has undermined both the economy and society.

Right from the first signs of the pandemic, Eni's priority has been that of protecting our people and ensuring the safety of operations at our facilities. All our facilities in Italy and abroad have responded quickly and with flexibility. For this, I would like to thank you all. You have been getting back to work and adapting quickly to the new scenario to protect yourselves and our organization.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people at Eni and steps taken by the Company

In order to manage the COVID-19 health emergency, we at Eni immediately implemented the most appropriate measures to ensure the utmost health and safety. Specifically, we have adopted a medical emergency plan to prepare for and respond to epidemics and pandemics, which has been used in previous years for other epidemics.

Based on the experience gained in recent months, we will also continue to assist all our colleagues throughout the world based on the phase each country is undergoing.

For the moment, we have been able to continue all operations, although to a limited extent in certain cases, by implementing the appropriate precautions at our industrial sites, such as limiting the number of people working on site; reorganizing shifts, workspaces, and procedures for entering buildings; and introducing additional personal protective equipment where necessary. Today, although we see a certain trend of improvement in Italy and in other countries, it is necessary to continue managing the situation in the most appropriate manner. It is essential for each of us to act responsibly, as workers, as citizens, and even at home, where we must take all necessary steps to avoid propagation of the virus.

Continued efforts at Eni to manage the COVID-19 pandemic

In the first weeks of May, in line with the latest government provisions, 21,500 of you, both in Italy and abroad, equal to approximately 70% of our workforce will continue working remotely.

We will gradually begin to go back to working in offices, but this will remain limited.

Together with our task force dedicated to handling the COVID-19 emergency, we will be constantly monitoring developments in order to increase our in-office presence based on the evolution of regulations and the overall context, but this will, in any event, be distributed across multiple weeks by geographic location.

In any event, it will continue to be essential to respect social distancing of at least one meter at all times.

Those who can come back to the office will be contacted individually. Each situation will be assessed directly by the supervisor in charge, while everyone else will continue to work remotely.

At the various operating facilities, we will continue to implement the guidelines adopted thus far.

Updates to Eni's actions in support of Italy

The organization's commitment to dealing with this emergency has not been limited solely to the management of our operations. From the start, we have provided concrete support to Italy as a nation by supporting hospitals in various regions, having reached a total commitment of about €35 million thus far. In the last month, electronic medical devices and personal protective equipment has been purchased and imported and then donated to these hospitals. We will, in particular, be providing up to 600 ventilators in addition to portable pulse oximeters, intensive-care beds, and masks.

In addition, thanks to donations from our employees (counted in terms of donated working-hours), we have raised more than €600,000 in three weeks, which we have donated to the Italian Red Cross.

Impact of COVID-19 and the oil price wars on the energy industry and the macroeconomic scenario

We are living through one of the most complex periods in the last 70 years, an economic crisis that is almost as severe as the Great Depression of the 1930s. For the oil and gas industry, the situation is even more complex due to the overlapping effect of the pandemic and the collapse in the prices of commodities.

In terms of oil prices, Brent is currently at around \$20 a barrel based on physical trades.

After the OPEC+ accord was broken in early March, a price war broke out between Russia and Saudi Arabia. On April 9, the OPEC+ nations then agreed to record cuts in both amount and duration, and other leading oil producers outside of OPEC+, such as the U.S., Canada and Brazil, expressed a willingness to cooperate. The efficacy of the OPEC+ cuts on oil prices will depend on whether these cuts are actually respected, beginning in May, and on a gradual recovery in consumption, which has currently fallen by more than twice the volume of the cuts.

In terms of gas, spot prices have settled at between \$1.5 and \$2/MMBtu (million British thermal units) in the United States and between \$2 and \$3/MMBtu in Europe and Asia.

A critical impact is also expected in terms of employment. Global unemployment is expected to increase by around two percentage points, up to 7% by the end of 2020 from a forecast of 5.1% at the start of this year.

The extraction segment in particular is expected to lose 80,000 jobs in Europe, the USA, Australia and Canada compared with 2019 levels, and the outlook is even more dire in petroleum services generally, with an impact that could reach as many as one million jobs lost worldwide.

In Italy, Oxford Economics is forecasting a total increase in unemployment of 2.2%, from 10% at the end of 2019 to 12.2%. This translates into an expected increase in the number of unemployed of around 550,000 people by the end of 2020, from about 2.6 million at the end of 2019 to 3.1 million.

Eni's transformation over the last six years

A significant effort is needed if we want to continue generating value in this situation. It is certainly a scenario of crisis and uncertainty, but over the years we have built a stronger, more resilient company, one that is able to adapt quickly to a continually evolving market.

Through this process of transformation that we have undertaken, we have strengthened our upstream business and restructured the mid-downstream segment, while maintaining a sound financial discipline.

In the upstream segment in particular, in 2019 we achieved a new production record of 1,871 kboe/d (thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day), an increase of 17% compared with 2014 levels.

We also transformed the structure of the gas and power business and increased LNG trading volumes by 76%, thanks in part to synergies with the upstream business.

In the downstream segment, we were the first in the world to convert a traditional refinery into a bio-refinery, which we did in Venice and then in Gela.

In the chemicals segment, we have pursued new paths of development, particularly in the area of special polymers, products based on renewables, and innovative technologies for the mechanical and chemical recycling of plastics.

Alongside efforts to increase the efficiency of traditional businesses, we have also developed new businesses, such as renewable energy and the circular economy, as part of a decarbonization strategy aimed at achieving carbon neutrality for the organization over the long term.

Finally, we have achieved excellent financial results, with a 40% increase in free cash flow in 2019 and a 16% reduction in debt by the end of 2019 compared with 2014, while also ensuring an increase in returns for our shareholders.

Over the last six years, these actions, paired with a program of cost efficiency, have cut by group's cash neutrality by more than half, ensuring the coverage of all costs, investments and dividends with operating cash flow at a Brent price of \$55/bbl (per barrel), as compared with \$114/bbl in 2014.

Impact of COVID-19 on Eni's business along the energy value chain

Starting from a solid position both industrially and financially, we have

reacted quickly to the critical issues of the current scenario. As we did for both our people and our assets, we took immediate steps in early March to revise our business plan in terms of investment and operating costs, particularly for 2020 and part of 2021. This revision must now be implemented with discipline and consistency.

A review of the costs of our units has also begun, and this should further optimize our financials. Throughout this year, all of you will play a crucial role, so be open and proactive.

The impact on our businesses throughout the value chain has varied, from a decline in production to reductions in the consumption of our products.

For this reason, we have had to revise our forecasts for the generation of operating cash in 2020 from the €11.5 billion budget to a current €7.3 billion, in which efforts to cut costs and improve performance will partially mitigate the negative effects of the current scenario and changes in production.

In the first half of 2020 alone, we saw a reduction in operating cash, which settled at €2 billion, down from the €3.4 billion of the first quarter of 2019. Therefore, in order to defend our financial solidity, we have implemented a variety of measures and achieved a total a savings in 2020 of €3.3 billion. We have, in particular, called for a €2.3 billion cut in investment, a decrease of about 30% compared with original forecasts, 80% of which will be implemented in the upstream segment with a shift in projects and in efforts to optimize production, as well as a reduction in exploration investments.

We will also be cutting operating expenses by €600 million and

implementing other mitigation efforts, such as suspending the buyback programme.

As such, we have adjusted the guidance for our upstream businesses, lowering 2020 production to a range of 1.75–1.8 Mboe/d, but without considering the effects of the recently announced OPEC+ cuts, which have not yet been broken down into the individual fields. In the mid-downstream segment, despite the impact of COVID-19, we are forecasting EBIT higher than €600 million.

This performance is based on assumptions of a \$45/barrel average Brent price in 2020, an end to the lockdown by the end of May, and a subsequent recovery beginning in June, with a return to normality beginning in 2021. In addition to steps already taken, we can count on solid financial standing and considerable liquidity of around €16 billion.

Importance of an unchanged commitment to the energy transition

Despite the great challenges we have to face today, our commitment to generating value over the long term is unwavering.

We will continue with conviction our long-term strategy that unites financial and environmental sustainability in order to build a new Eni, one that is able to grow within the energy transition by providing energy profitably while achieving significant reductions in our carbon footprint.

The new decarbonization objectives for 2050, i.e. an 80% reduction in net scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for the entire life cycle of the energy products sold (i.e. direct and indirect emissions connected with the organization's production processes and indirect emissions associated with the value chain of our products) and a 55% reduction in emission intensity compared with

2018, remain firmly in place.

These are practical objectives, based on projects and other efforts we have already proven capable of implementing; and a large part of the initiatives that will help to achieve them have already begun. This includes the development of renewable energy sources in order to achieve an installed capacity in excess of 55 GW by 2050, also in synergy with growth in the retail market, where we aim to increase provisioning agreements of more than 20 million and to provide solely sustainable and renewable products, as well as innovative mobility services, by 2050. Other actions will, for example, include the transformation of refineries by implementing new systems for the production of hydrogen and methanol and for the recycling of waste.

This will enable Eni to be a market leader, providing heavily decarbonized energy products, while actively contributing to the energy transition.

Impact of the crisis on the domestic value chain in Italy

In addition to facing some significant challenges, the crisis has also brought us to look at the development of new domestic value chains, beginning with the leveraging of our existing assets in Italy.

This decision was based, in part, on the fact that globalization, in its most extreme manifestations, has been the subject of debate given all that has happened, and it has become necessary to produce certain products domestically.

The return of certain domestic businesses would also have a clearly positive impact on employment.

For the future economic recovery in Italy, this means, in the upstream

segment, developing our gas-production assets to the benefit of energy competitiveness and industrial development in Italy, given, in part, the availability of CO2 storage at our depleted fields in the Adriatic. Indeed, at present, in the Ravenna area alone, we have the potential for 300 to 500 million metric tons of storage.

We must then accelerate the development of chemicals from renewable sources, positioning ourselves within the complete value chain. Another potentially significant contribution to industrial recovery in Italy can come from enhanced support, by way of our products, to strategic segments of the health-care, pharmaceutical and food-and-beverage industries and from active support to the development of new domestic value chains in the health and sanitation segment.

In the area of sustainable mobility, we will also need to take advantage of our bio-fuels in response to a potential increase in individual mobility and/or in the frequency of public mobility.

Efforts to address coronavirus risk

In order to deal with COVID-19 risk on an ongoing basis, it will be important for us all to be able to learn from experience and change our habits. It will take an act of individual responsibility in all areas, from our professional commitment to respecting the rules of conduct in the workplace and beyond.

We have always said that, at Eni, we leave no one behind. Now each of us is called upon to do more in order to help the company move through this period.

As we have seen from the results of the first quarter and from the forecasts

for the full year, the situation is complex. Despite significant efforts to reduce investment, operating costs, and G&A, if prices should remain at current levels, we will need to take further action in order to continue defending our company.

We must find the motivation within each of us to react, reduce costs and waste in all that we do. We must also help our colleagues to do their best and must ensure that the organizational machine keeps running smoothly.

Being proactive, working together, and communicating constructively are more essential than ever.

We must do our best to improve in all fields.

Supervisors need to set the example at all times.

We want to be protected. We want a future for ourselves and for our company. This is the time to work harder than ever before. We need to stay focused, reactive, generous and positive and give all that we have in every situation.

Let's always ask if we are doing the right thing. Talk with our colleagues and with your supervisors.

We expect a great deal from this Eni of ours, and Eni expects a great deal from us."

That makes five requests.

There is also a proposal for a derivative action against the Directors and top managers of Eni from the shareholders "Associazione Liberiamo la Basilicata", "Comitato Aria Pulita Basilicata ONLUS", Francesco Saverio Telesca, Elman Rosania and Alfredo Sonnessa, the text of which I will give to the Notary, although it has already been published on the Internet site of the Company.

There is also a proposal of the Shareholder Marco Bava – which was already presented among the questions. The Shareholder, though, reiterated to me that he wanted to reformulate it here, so in this case I refer to the text of the questions containing the proposal of the Shareholder Marco Bava. Finally, I would like to point out that I have not received voting instructions explicitly and objectively conditioned on questions expressed in the proxy. Thank you.
