ITEM 3 ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

"Reverse Stock Split of the ordinary shares of doValue S.p.A. in the ratio of 1 new ordinary share with regular dividend entitlement for every 5 existing ordinary shares; related amendments to the Articles of Association; related and inherent resolutions".

Dear Shareholders,

the Board of Directors of doValue S.p.A. (hereinafter, the "doValue" or the "Company") convened the Shareholders' Meeting to discuss and resolve, inter alia, on the following topic, placed under item 3 of the agenda, extraordinary part:

"Reverse Stock Split of the ordinary shares of doValue S.p.A. in the ratio of 1 new ordinary share with regular dividend entitlement for every 5 existing ordinary shares; related amendments to the Articles of Association; related and inherent resolutions.".

This illustrative report of the Board of Directors has been prepared pursuant to Article 125-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Articles 72 and 84-ter of the Issuers' Regulation, in accordance with the indications contained in Annex 3A of the aforesaid Issuers' Regulation, in order to illustrate to Shareholders the proposal to regroup the Company's ordinary shares.

A. Explanation of the operation and its rationale

The Company's share capital is currently divided into 80,000,000 ordinary shares. In relation to the proposed share capital increase against payment for a maximum total amount of Euro 150,000,000.00 to be executed, in divisible form, through the issue of ordinary shares, with regular dividend rights, to be offered under option to the Company's shareholders and to the holders of convertible bonds, pursuant to Article 2441 of the Italian Civil Code, as set forth in item 1 of the Shareholders' Meeting agenda (the "Capital Increase"), '""this proposal to regroup shares, involving the reduction of the number of outstanding shares, is aimed at providing for a more adequate number of shares in circulation in consideration of the fact that they are destined to increase as a result of the Capital Increase and the capital increase to service the convertible bond loan referred to in item 2 of the agenda, extraordinary part.

The share regrouping transaction is proposed in the ratio of no. 1 new ordinary share with regular dividend entitlement for every no. 5 existing ordinary shares (the "RegroupingTransaction"). As a result of the Regrouping Transaction, the total number of doValue ordinary shares will be reduced from no. 80,000,000 shares to no. 16,000,000 ordinary shares (without par value), without any change in doValue's share capital.

The doValue shares will be identified by a new ISIN code and there will be no interruption in trading on the stock.

In consideration of the purposes and the correlation with the Capital Increase, it is expected that the Regrouping Transaction will be executed prior to the commencement of the Capital Increase, in accordance with the timing and procedures to be agreed upon with Borsa Italiana and the other competent Authorities and, in any event, not later than the commencement of the rights offering period of the Capital Increase. The Regrouping Transaction will be carried out pursuant to applicable regulations by the authorised intermediaries belonging to the centralised management system managed by Euronext Securities S.p.A. and without any expenses for the shareholders.

Since the Company's shares have no par value, the reverse split will result in an increase in the implied accounting parity of the shares.

For the management of any remaining shares that may arise from the Regrouping Transaction, a service will be made available to shareholders for the treatment of any fractions of shares that cannot be regrouped, on the basis of the official market price and without additional expenses or commissions and in accordance with the technical procedures that will be communicated at the time of execution of the transaction itself.
