Treasury shares will be acquired automatically within the limits of distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the latest financial statements duly approved by the Company or by the subsidiary that intends to carry out the purchase.

Acquisitions and disposals must be carried out with the following methods:

(i) the acquisitions must be carried out, including through subsidiary companies, in compliance with the provisions of Articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, Article 132

of the TUF (taking account of the specific exemption referred to in the respective paragraph 3 of said article), Article 144 bis of the Issuers' Regulation and any other applicable regulations, including those referred to by Regulation (EU) 596/2014 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, as well as accepted market practices recognised by Consob in effect at the time, where applicable, according to operating methods laid down in the market organisation and management regulations, in order to ensure parity of treatment between shareholders as established by Article 132 of the TUF, and must be concluded at a price that does not exceed whichever is the higher between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest independent offer at the places of trading where the acquisition was made, with it being understood that the acquisitions must be carried out at a price that no more than 10% (ten per cent) lower or higher that the reference price recorded by the security during the trading session preceding each individual transaction;

(ii) the acts of disposal of the treasury shares held in the portfolio by the Company following acquisitions made on the basis of previous authorisations, as well as the shares that would be acquired with regard to authorisations granted herein, were to be made, without time limit, in one or more stages, even before having exhausted the quantity of treasury shares that can be acquired, in the ways deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company and, in any case, in compliance with the applicable regulations, accepted market practices current at the time, where applicable, and the regulations issued by the Italian Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana. Using the methods specified below:

- at a price established at the time by the Board of Directors in relation to criteria of appropriateness, with it remaining understood that this price must optimise the economic effects on the Company, where the stock is allocated (i) to serve incentive plans (according to the methods and time frames indicated in the regulations of such plans) in the event of the exercising by the respective beneficiaries of the options for acquisitions of shares granted to them; (ii) to serve the issue of debt instruments that are convertible into equity instruments or incentive plans for the exercising by the respective beneficiaries of the options for the purchase of shares granted to them; (iii) to allow the use of treasury shares as part of transactions connected to the current management and industrial or financial projects consistent with the strategic policies that the Company intends to pursue or other extraordinary transactions of interest to the Company, with respect to which opportunities arise for trading, exchange, underwriting, transferring or otherwise disposing of the shares; (iv) to carry out operations to support market liquidity in order to facilitate the proper conducting of

trading and avoid price movements that are not in line with market trends; and (v) to seize market opportunities including through the purchase and resale of shares whenever appropriate, both on the market and (as regards the sale) on OTC markets or even outside the market, provided they are conducted under market conditions;

- at a price that is no more than 10% (ten per cent) lower or higher than the reference price recorded by the stock in the Borsa session preceding each individual transaction for subsequent purchase and sale transactions.

To confer to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer all the necessary and broadest powers to execute the resolutions adopted and perform all the necessary tasks for implementing them, including through special attorneys, in compliance with the applicable provisions in force and periodically issued by the competent authorities".

The Chairman then moved on to the discussion of the first item on the agenda of the extraordinary session and asked the Secretary to provide, on his behalf, procedural information and to read the proposals from the Board of Directors.

The Secretary read the first item on the agenda of the extraordinary session.

She reminded the attendees that Article 127-quinquies of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 (the Consolidated Finance Act, or "TUF") lays down the possibility for companies with listed shares on a regulated market, through a specific amendment to their Articles of Association, to assign an

increased vote of "up to a maximum of two votes, for each share owned by the same party for a continuous period of not less than twenty-four months from the date of registration" in a special list kept by the company.

In view of the above, the Board of Directors therefore proposed to introduce the increase in voting rights, pursuant to Article 127-quinquies of the TUF, and, therefore, to amend the Articles of Association according to the terms and methods better detailed in the explanatory report published on 15 March 2024. In particular, the Board of Directors considered it appropriate to make full use of the option granted by Article 127 quinquies(1) of the TUF to set the maximum limit of the increase at two votes for each share, deeming this suitable to ensure that the increase actually and effectively rewards the shareholders who intend to make use of it. Similarly, with regard to the minimum period of ownership of the shares suitable for determining the increase in voting rights, the Board of Directors considered it appropriate to propose that the increase in voting rights be acquired at the end of the minimum period of 24 (twenty-four) months stipulated by law, deeming this consistent with the objective of ensuring stable and longlasting investments in the Company.

The Secretary read the draft resolution regarding the first item on the ordinary agenda of that day's Shareholders' Meeting: "The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Tesmec S.p.A.:

  • having examined the explanatory report of the Board of Directors with reference to the first item on the agenda of the extraordinary session (the "Report") and shared the reasons for the proposals contained therein;

resolved

  1. to amend Articles 5 and 9 of the Company's Articles of Association and to approve the new text as illustrated in the Board of Directors' Report;

2) to grant the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer all the broadest powers, in compliance with the provisions of the law, with the right to sub-delegate, for the complete execution of the above decision, with any and all powers necessary and appropriate for this purpose, with none excluded or excepted, and to fulfil the necessary formalities, including the registration of the resolution in the Register of Companies, so that the adopted resolution obtains the legal approvals, with the right to introduce any amendments, nonsubstantial additions or deletions necessary for the purpose, including at the time of registration, and in general to do everything necessary for the complete execution of the resolution (including in order to fulfil any formality, deed, filing of requests or documents, requested by the competent Market Supervisory Authorities and/or the applicable legal or regulatory provisions); and

  1. to grant a mandate to the Board of Directors, with the

right to delegate, for the possible adoption of a regulation for the management of the special list pursuant to Article 143 quater of the Issuers' Regulation, which governs the procedures for registration, maintenance and updating in compliance with the applicable regulations and in any case such as to ensure the timely exchange of information between shareholders, issuer and intermediaries and for the appointment of the person in charge of the keeping the Special List."

At this point, the Secretary put to the vote the draft resolution on the first item on the agenda of the extraordinary session of today's Shareholders' Meeting relating to the amendments to Article 5 and Article 9 of the Articles of Association for the purpose of introducing the increase in voting pursuant to Article 127-quinquies of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998.

She confirmed that all the persons identified at the beginning of the meeting were still connected and that the attendance figures were unchanged.

At 11.23 (eleven twenty-three a.m.), she opened the voting and invited the Appointed Representative to declare the voting instructions.

The Appointed Representative then took the floor and declared: 289,967,678 votes in favour, equal to 97.527264%

7,351,929 votes against, equal to 2.472736%

The Chairman declared the voting closed for the first item on the ordinary agenda of today's Shareholders' Meeting, which was approved by a majority.

The Chairman then moved on to discuss the second item on the agenda of the extraordinary session and invited the Secretary to provide, on his behalf, procedural information and to read the proposals from the Board of Directors.

The Secretary read the second item on the agenda of the extraordinary session.

The proposed amendments to the Tesmec Articles of Association take into account the contents of the draft law on "Measures to support the competitiveness of capital and mandate to the Government for the organic reform of the provisions on capital markets contained in the consolidated act in compliance with Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, and the provisions on joint-stock companies contained in the Italian Civil Code also applicable to issuers" (the "Capital Bill"), definitively approved on 27 February 2024 by the Senate of the Republic and published in the Official Gazette on 12 March 2024. In particular, through the introduction of Article 135 undecies(1) of the TUF, the possibility is introduced of making permanent the provisions initially issued in the context of the COVID-19 health emergency, which provide for the option, for

listed companies and for companies admitted to trading on a multilateral trading system, to establish that participation and voting rights in Shareholders' Meetings for those entitled to do so shall be exercised exclusively through delegation (or sub-delegation) to a Designated Representative, provided that the Articles of Association expressly allow this.

With the amendments to the Shareholders' Meeting provisions within the Articles of Association (and in particular to Articles 6, 8 and 10), it is therefore proposed to introduce the right for Tesmec to designate the person envisaged by Article 135-undecies of the TUF, the Designated Representative, to whom the shareholders may grant a mandate to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and to establish - if permitted by law and/or by the pro tempore regulations in force - that participation and voting rights in Shareholders' Meetings for those entitled to do so shall be exercised exclusively through delegation (or sub-delegation) to a Designated Representative. The provision is accompanied by the further specification whereby, if the Company opts for participation in the Shareholders' Meeting exclusively through the Designated Representative, the participation of eligible parties in the Shareholders' Meeting may also, or exclusively, take place through suitable means of telecommunication, without the requirement for the Chairman, Secretary, and/or Notary Public to be in the same location.

The Secretary read the draft resolution regarding the second item on the ordinary agenda of that day's extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
