Addition to the Proposals for the Shareholders' Meeting Extraordinary Session

This explanatory report has been supplemented and amended in respect to the version published on 14 March 2024 to better clarify the provision of the proposed new paragraph 12.3 of the Articles of Association, regarding the procedures of participation in shareholder's meetings.

Specifically, the addition made to the text of the above-mentioned paragraph 12.3 is intended to specify that the notice of call may establish that the Meeting is held exclusively by means of telecommunication, "within the limits and in the manner permitted by current regulatory provisions", omitting the indication of the physical place where the meeting is held.

Below, in place of what was already published on the matter on 14 March 2024, is the text of the explanatory report on the subjects on the agenda of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2024, amended as stated.

Note that to further highlight the amendment made, it has been marked with an underlined character in the "proposed text" column.

Shareholders' Meeting of Fiera Milano S.p.A. (hereinafter, "Fiera Milano" or the "Company"), convened for 23 April 2024 at 3 pm in a single call.

(Report pursuant to Art. 125-ter, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 as amended)

1. Amendment to articles 4.1, 10.1, 10.2, 12, 15.1, 17.2, 17.7 and 18.1 of the Articles of Association.

Dear Shareholders,

At the meeting of 13 March 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to convene, at the same time as the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, also the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, in order to bring to the attention of the latter some changes considered appropriate to allow easier management of the Company, always in compliance with stringent governance requirements.

Specifically:

  • in Art. 4.1, changes are proposed to the purpose of the Company. It should be noted that these changes are made solely for a better specification of the Company's activities and do not constitute a significant change in Fiera Milano's core business. In particular, the following activities were outlined: (i) the management of infrastructures, including network infrastructures, within the managed exhibition sites; (ii) the provision of technological services, even if not related to the organisation of fairs, exhibitions, congresses, conferences and round tables, of any other event, even if not predominantly related to traditional activities; (ii) the provision of logistical services, even if not related to the organisation of fairs, exhibitions, congresses, conferences and round tables, of any other event, even if not predominantly related to traditional activities;
  • in Art. 10.1, it is proposed to remove the provision relating to the participation in the shareholders' meeting by means of telecommunications and the exercise of the right to vote electronically, in order to reposition this provision within Art. 12 ("Right to attend

the Shareholders' Meeting") as a new paragraph 12.3, specifying, also, that the notice of call may provide that the Shareholders' Meeting is held exclusively by means of telecommunications, without indication of the physical place where the meeting is held;

  • in Art. 10.2, it is proposed to provide that "the Shareholders' Meeting, both ordinary and extraordinary, is held in a single call", except for exceptions that may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of the call;
  • for Art. 15.1, the proposed amendment concerns only the removal of the method for convening the meeting of the Board of Directors by registered letter, telegram or fax, in line with the most modern means of communication;
  • in Art. 17.2 changes are proposed to the powers that are not delegable and are reserved to the exclusive competence of the Board of Directors. Specifically:
    • (i) the approval of the budget, as a non-delegable power by the Board of Directors, is repositioned to letter b) together with the approval of the strategic lines and guidelines, of the industrial and financial plans, for the consistency of the negotiation of strategic powers;
    • (ii) letter c) eliminates the provision for the transfer of movable property to other companies in the Group among the non-delegable powers;
    • (iii) in letter e) a limit of EUR 5 million is proposed, as a non-delegable power, for the establishment of mortgages, encumbrances or other security rights of any kind on all or on significant parts of the Company's bonds, properties or assets. This limit is also provided for in letter f) for the granting of bank guarantees to third parties by the Company;
    • (iv) letter g) provides for the entering into loan agreements without consideration as a delegable power;
    • (v) letter i) also includes recruitment, promotion, transfer, exercise of disciplinary power and dismissal, determination of tasks, classification, fixed and variable remuneration, and any agreements attached and/or ancillary to the employment relationship for Managers with a gross annual salary exceeding EUR 250,000.00 (two hundred and fifty thousand);
    • (vi) in letter j), in addition to the already present provision of competence in the matter of appointment, the provision of competence in the matter of dismissal of the General Manager and of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities (Top Management pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code) in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code;
    • (vii) in letter n), with a view to aligning with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, it is expected that the appointment and dismissal of the head of the Internal Audit function will take place after the favourable opinion of the Control and Risk Committee, rather than on the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer, after the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and independent directors;
  • Art. 17.7 changes propose to provide, in line with the Corporate Governance Code, that the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is composed of only non-executive directors (as well as mostly independent); Furthermore, a clarification has been made about the term Controllo Interno in Italian, which remains Internal Audit in English;
  • in order to make the wording of Art. 18.1 consistent, it is proposed to delete the independence requirements for the appointment of the Chairperson by the Board of Directors (cf. original text), so that the requirements for the appointment of the Chairperson by the Board of Directors are in line with the requirements for the

appointment by the shareholders' meeting, which already currently do not provide for independence.
