1.0 ISSUER PROFILE

Servizi Italia S.p.A. is the leading operator in Italy in the sector of industrial laundries in the healthcare sector, offering integrated hire, washing and sterilisation services for textiles and medical devices. Servizi Italia was founded in 1986 in the province of Parma, in Castellina di Soragna, where the registered office and management are still located. From a simple industrial laundry, over the years it has expanded the scope of its activities and now deals with:

hire and treatment of hospital linen (sheets, mattresses, uniforms) for healthcare facilities and nursing homes;
hire and treatment of high visibility and anti-X-ray personal protective equipment;
hire, treatment and sterilisation of textile medical devices for operating theatres;
hire, treatment and sterilisation of surgical instruments and management of the sterilisation service;
technical services for clinical engineering an industry;
supply and sale of disposable materials;
hire and treatment of textiles for the hotel sector.

Servizi Italia Group mainly targets public/private healthcare companies and private customers in central/northern Italy, the State of São Paulo in Brazil, Turkey, India, Albania and Morocco. The Group is made up of various Italian and foreign subsidiaries and has a total of 24 laundry facilities, 6 linen sterilisation centres, 20 surgical instrument sterilisation centres, 5 transit points and warehouses, as well as several wardrobes located at healthcare companies, which constitute an effective and efficient logistics-distribution model.

The organisation of Servizi Italia complies with the provisions contained in the Italian Civil Code and with the regulations governing corporations with listed shares, and in particular with the provisions of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Corporate Governance Code.

The Company annually combines the Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements with the publication of the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure, drawn up pursuant to Article 123 bis of the TUF, the publication of the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid prepared pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF and the Non-Financial Statement prepared pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 254/2016.

The corporate governance, based on a traditional management and control model (so-called "Latin" model), is made up of the following bodies:

Shareholders' Meeting;
Board of Directors (operating through the Executive Directors/Executive Committee and the Directors with representation, and assisted by the Governance and Related-Party Committee, with preliminary, propositional and consultative functions regarding appointments and remuneration, internal control and risk management pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code and the Risk Policy adopted by the Company, as well as the functions envisaged by the Related-Party Regulations in relation to both transactions of lesser importance and – given the qualification of a "smaller company" – to transactions of greater relevance with related parties);
Board of Statutory Auditors;
Legal Auditing Company;
Supervisory Body set up pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01.

In compliance with the criteria established by the Corporate Governance Code, the Board (i) guides the Company by pursuing its sustainable success; (ii) defines the strategies of the Company and the Servizi Italia Group and monitors their implementation; (iii) defines the most functional corporate governance system for the performance of the business and the pursuit of its strategies, taking into account the autonomy offered by the legal system and, if necessary, evaluates and promotes the appropriate changes, submitting them, when applicable, to the Shareholders' Meeting; (iv) promotes, in the most appropriate forms, dialogue with Shareholders and other stakeholders relevant to the Company through its own executive Directors, and

opportune guidelines transmitted to internal function managers, with the procedures indicated in the 2023 Non-Financial Statement, to which reference is made.

The Board of Directors interprets its role in the Company's leadership by pursuing its sustainable success (an objective, which is embodied in the creation of long-term value for the benefit of the shareholders, taking into account the interests of the other stakeholders relevant to the Issuer) in particular through the following main long-term objectives of the Servizi Italia Group: (i) creation of value; (ii) improvement in operating margins; (iii) ESG focus. These objectives are pursued through six main guidelines:

1. integrity and ethics of the Group, social responsibility, environmental protection;
1. consolidation of leadership in Italy;
1. strengthening and rationalisation of foreign markets already served;
1. management optimisation and business continuity;
1. focused international development;
1. diversification of services and cross selling.

For the achievement of sustainable success, the Group considers it fundamental for environmental and social sustainability areas to be integrated into the company's strategic vision. The creation of sustainable value over time cannot be separated from these areas and must always be supported by transparent governance, based on ethics and integrity.

In particular, the results and objectives achieved by the Group in relation to these aspects are set out in the 2023 Non-Financial Statement ("NFS"), which includes – inter alia – the 2024-2026 Sustainability Plan, drawn up on a mandatory basis in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 254/16, which can be consulted on the Company's website at www.servizitaliagroup.com, to which reference should be made for anything not expressly mentioned here.

For further information on how the Board of Directors interprets its own role in the Company's leadership with the aim of pursuing sustainable success, please refer to chapters 4.7, 8 and 9 of this Report.

Servizi Italia falls within the definition of SMEs pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 1, letter w-quater.1), of the TUF and Article 2-ter of the Issuers' Regulations and has a capitalisation at 30 December 2023, as calculated by Borsa Italiana, equal to Euro 53,439,877.7 million.

Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, the Company does not fall within the definition of a "large company", as its capitalisation has not exceeded the value of Euro 1 billion on the last trading day of each of the three previous calendar years, while it qualifies as a "company with concentrated ownership" as one of the shareholders directly holds the majority of the votes that can be exercised at the ordinary shareholders' meeting. Please refer to chapters 4.7, 4.3 and 7.1 of this Report for information on the use of the flexibility options provided by the Code.

This Report, as well as the Articles of Association, the Code of Ethics and the Organisational, Management and Control Model drawn up in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231/01 are available on Company's website at www.servizitaliagroup.com.

e) Employee share ownership: mechanism for exercising voting rights (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter e), of the TUF)

There is no employee shareholding system and, therefore, no mechanism for exercising the voting rights of employees, nor do the Articles of Association contain specific provisions relating to the exercise of voting rights of employee shareholders.

f) Restrictions on voting rights (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter f), of the TUF)

The Company's Articles of Association do not contain any special provisions that restrict voting rights, such as, for example, restrictions on voting rights for a certain percentage or number of votes, time limits imposed for the exercise of voting rights or systems in which, with the cooperation of Servizi Italia, the financial rights attached to securities are separated from the ownership of securities.

g) Shareholder agreements (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter g), of the TUF)

At the Reference date, Servizi Italia does not know any shareholders' agreements, pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF.

For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that, on 9 November 2023, Cometa S.r.l. ("Cometa" or the "Offeror") company 100% owned by Aurum S.p.A., pursuant to Art. 102, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and Art. 37 of the Issuers' Regulations, announced its decision to launch a voluntary takeover bid pursuant to Arts. 102 et seq. of the Consolidated Law on Finance (the "Offer") aimed at: (i) take over all the ordinary shares (the "Shares") of Servizi Italia S.p.A. ("Servizi Italia", the "Issuer" or the "Company") at a price of Euro 1.65 per Share (the "Consideration"), for a total of no. 11,700,275 ordinary shares of the Issuer, representing 36.782% of the share capital of the Company; and (ii) to obtain the delisting of the Shares from Euronext Milan.

As part of the Offer, on 9 November 2023 (the "Effective Date") Steris UK Holding Limited ("Steris UK"), which held 1,877,607 Shares representing approximately 5.903% of the share capital of the Issuer, Steris Corporation (parent company Steris UK) and the Offeror signed a private agreement containing, inter alia, a commitment with which Steris UK undertook to the Offeror to tender to the Offer the aforesaid Shares it held (the "Acceptance Commitment").

The Offeror has also undertaken in the same private deed to purchase at the Offer price, as may be increased as a result of raises or purchases at a higher price during the Offer or in the following six months, the shares of Steris UK should the Offer not be concluded due to the non-fulfilment of the conditions to which the Offer is subject. Any such purchase was expected to be completed within 10 (ten) working days from the notice of non-fulfilment of the conditions of the Offer or in any case by 31 March 2024.

On 23 January, the final results of the Offer were published, showing that the Offeror, jointly with the Persons Acting Jointly, did not achieve a total shareholding of more than 90% of the Issuer's share capital, with the Offer thus becoming ineffective.

Subsequently, on 14 February 2024, in line with the commitments undertaken, Steris UK sold its equity investment of 1,877,607 shares representing approximately 5.903% of the Issuer's share capital,

h) Change of control clauses (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter h), of the TUF) and statutory provisions on takeover bids (pursuant to Articles 104, paragraph 1-ter and 104-bis, paragraph 1)

As already indicated in the Addendum to the Information Document on Related-Party Transactions published on 19 December 2018, Servizi Italia signed a lease agreement with the related party Focus S.p.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A., relating to the properties in Castellina di Soragna. Under the terms of this agreement, the tenant, Servizi Italia, undertakes to issue the lessor, in the event that it loses the status of a subsidiary company, even indirectly, of Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A., within 30 days of the occurrence of this condition, a bank guarantee, issued by a credit institution, on first call, to ensure the proper and timely fulfilment of all obligations assumed under the agreement, also as a security deposit. This first-call surety must provide for an express waiver of the prior enforcement of the principal debtor in derogation of Article 1944 paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code, as well as with waiver of the exception provided for in Article 1957 paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code, and will be equal to Euro 1,013,000 (one year's rent), with annual expiry, tacitly and automatically renewable and to be renewed from year to year, and the lessor's text of approval cannot be unjustifiably denied. If the surety is not delivered to the lessor, the latter may terminate the agreement in accordance with Article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code.

The Company has also signed loan agreements for a total amount of Euro 78 million with lending institutions, which provide for an obligation of early repayment to be borne by the Company, or the right by the lending institution to request early repayment of the financed amount, if the company Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A. ceases to maintain a controlling interest in the share capital of Servizi Italia.

There are no other significant agreements to which the Issuer or other Group companies are parties, which take effect, are amended or terminated in the event of a change of control of the Company.

The Articles of Association of Servizi Italia do not contain provisions that derogate from the provisions on the passivity rule provided by Article 104, paragraphs 1 and 1-bis of the TUF, nor rules of neutralisation under Article 104-bis, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the CFA.

i) Powers to increase share capital and authorisations to purchase treasury shares (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter m), of the TUF)

At the Reference date, the Company's Board of Directors has not been delegated to increase the share capital pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code.

The Articles of Association provide that the Company may issue financial instruments other than shares, in compliance with the requirements of the law and by resolution of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

At the closing date of the Financial Year, the Company held a total of 2,507,752 treasury shares, equal to 7.88% of the Issuer's share capital.

l) Management and coordination actions (pursuant to Articles 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code)

At the Reference date, the Issuer is part of the group headed by Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A., an Italian company with registered offices in Reggio Emilia, which holds control through its wholly-owned subsidiary Aurum S.p.A., with registered offices in Via Rochdale 5, Reggio Emilia.

At the Reference date, Aurum S.p.A. exercises control over the Issuer, pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, holding an equity investment equal to 56.51% of the Issuer's ordinary share capital.

The Issuer is not subject to management and coordination, pursuant to Articles 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, either by the direct parent company Aurum S.p.A. or by the indirect parent company Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A., which do not exercise acts of direction and/or interference in the management of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries). The Issuer, in fact, operates under conditions of corporate and entrepreneurial autonomy, acting autonomously in business relations with its customers and suppliers and independently defining its own business plans and/or budgets.

The Issuer, on the other hand, exercises management and coordination, pursuant to Articles 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, with regard to its subsidiaries.

Note that with regard to the information required by Article 123-bis of the TUF in relation to:

It should be noted that neither the Company nor its strategically important subsidiaries are subject to non-Italian legal provisions that affect the Issuer's corporate governance structure.

In relation to the examination and approval of strategic, industrial and financial plans for the Company and Servizi Italia Group, as well as the periodic monitoring of their implementation, the definition of the corporate governance system of Servizi Italia and of the structure of Servizi Italia Group, it should be noted that, although the Articles of Association do not expressly provide for this, this sort of activities falls within the ordinary and extraordinary administration functions of the Board itself, as none of its members has the power to act in relation to such matters without the Board's prior approval. The same applies to the examination and prior approval of transactions of Servizi Italia and its subsidiaries, when such transactions have a significant strategic, economic, asset-related or financial importance for the Company itself.

In particular, in the Reference Financial Year, the Board of Directors has:

1. examined and approved the business plan of the Company and Servizi Italia Group, also on the basis of the analysis of the relevant issues for the generation of long-term value, periodically monitoring its implementation and evaluating the general performance of operations, taking into consideration the information received from the delegated bodies and periodically comparing the results achieved with those planned, especially on the occasion of the approval of the economic and financial data for the period;
1. defined, in the context of the transactions and documentation submitted for its approval, the nature and level of risk compatible with the strategic objectives of the Issuer, including in its assessments all the elements that may be relevant in view of the Company's sustainable success;
1. has assessed the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Issuer and its strategically important subsidiaries (Steritek S.p.A.; Wash Service S.r.l; Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A.; Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A.; Vida Lavanderias Especializada S.A.; Aqualav Serviços De Higienização Ltda; Ankateks Turizm İnşaat Tekstil Temizleme Sanayi Ve Ticaret Ltd Şirketi; Ergülteks Temizlik Tekstil Ltd. Sti; and Ankateks Tur. Teks. Tem.Sanve TIC. A.s. –Olimpos Laundry Teks.Tem. Hizm. Ve Tur. San. Tic. Ltd Sti IS Ortakligi), most recently, at the meeting for the approval of the annual financial report at 31 December 2023. In particular, these assessments were adopted on the basis of an analysis by the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and with the prior opinion of the Governance Committee acting as Control and Risks function, which, during its meetings – which the head of the internal audit function also participated in – was in a position to continuously verify the adequacy and effective functioning of the internal control and risk management system of both the Issuer and the Group;
1. examined and approved in advance the Company's most significant transactions. The Board has not established general criteria for identifying transactions of significant strategic, economic, asset-related or financial importance for Servizi Italia, as the most significant transactions carried out by the Executive Committee are reported in advance to the entire Board in order to receive prior authorisation;
1. promoted dialogue with shareholders and with relevant stakeholders, in accordance with the policy for the management of dialogue with all shareholders, adopted in 2021, on proposal of the Chairman,

formulated in agreement with the Investor Relations Manager, also taking into account the engagement policies adopted by institutional investors and asset managers (for details, see chapter 12 of this Report). The Chairman ensures that the Board is in any case informed, at the first possible meeting, of the development and significant contents of the dialogue with all shareholders.

During the 2023 financial year, the Board of Directors did not deem it necessary or appropriate to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting reasoned proposals relating to the corporate governance system, nor to modify the previously adopted policy for the management of dialogue with all shareholders.

Please refer to chapters 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 7.1, 8.1 and 9 of this Report for information on the further characteristics of the Board regarding its composition, functioning, appointment and self-assessment; remuneration policy; internal control and risk management system.

4.2 Appointment and replacement of directors and amendments to the Articles of Association (pursuant to Article 123 bis, paragraph 1, letter l), of the TUF)

The Article 15 of the Articles of Association provides that the Company is managed by a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 14 members, including the Chairman. At least one of the members of the Board of Directors, or 3 if the Board of Directors is composed of more than 7 members, must meet the independence requirements established by the provisions, as well as regulations, applicable from time to time. Without prejudice to the provisions concerning the minimum number of candidates who meet the independence requirements, at least one-third of the members of the Board of Directors – or the greater number required by the laws and regulations in force from time to time – must be Directors of the least represented gender, rounded up to the next higher unit. The composition of the Board of Directors must in any case ensure gender balance in accordance with the laws and regulations in force from time to time, which currently requires at least two-fifths of the elected Directors to be of the lesser represented gender (rounded up to the nearest unit if the application of the gender distribution criterion does not result in a unit of members of the Board of Directors).

The Shareholders' Meeting determines the number of components of the Board of Directors, at the time of their appointment, within the above limits, as well as the duration of their appointment, which may not exceed three financial years. The term of office of the directors thus appointed expires on the occasion of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last year of their term of office, unless they are revoked or resigned, and they may be re-elected. The Shareholders' Meeting may also change the number of directors during the term of office as long as they are within the limits set out in Article 15 of the Articles of Association. In this case, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the new directors in the same manner as indicated in Article 15 of the Articles of Association, without prejudice to the need to ensure the presence within the Board of Directors of the number of directors meeting the independence requirements for statutory auditors provided for by current legislation and in compliance with the criterion concerning the gender balance explained above. The term of office of the directors thus appointed ends with that of the directors in office at the time of their appointment.

The members of the Board of Directors are elected on the basis of lists of candidates in accordance with the procedures indicated below. A number of shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, represent at least 2.5% of the Company's share capital, or on the different measure established by Consob in implementation of current provisions(1) , may submit a list of candidates, ordered progressively by number, submitting it at the registered offices, including by means of remote communication that allows the identification of those presenting the list, no later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the date of first call of the Shareholders' Meeting, under penalty of forfeiture. The lists are made available to the public at the Company's registered

Servizi Italia S.p.A. – Report on corporate governance and ownership structure – Financial year 2023 14

⁽¹⁾ Amount determined by Consob with Executive Decision No. 92 published on 31 January 2024: 2.5%.

offices, on the website and in the other ways provided for by Consob Issuers' Regulations at least twenty-one days prior to the Shareholders' Meeting. In order to prove ownership of the number of shares necessary to present the lists, the communication issued by the persons authorised to do so, which has by rite been received within the deadline for publication of the lists by the Company, shall be considered authentic. Each list must expressly indicate the candidature of at least one person, or three in the case of a Board of Directors composed of more than seven members, having the requisites of independence required for auditors by current legislation. Lists, which have a number of candidates equal to or greater than three, must contain a number of candidates belonging to the less represented gender that is no less than one third – or the maximum quote requested by law and rules in force from time to time – of the number of members to be elected to the Board of Directors.

Each shareholder, and the shareholders who are parties to the same shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, may submit, or take part in submitting, and vote for only one list. The submissions and votes expressed in violation of this prohibition will not be attributable to any list. Each candidate may stand for election on one list only, under penalty of ineligibility.

Together with each list, within the deadline, at Company's registered office, are deposited (i) declarations in which each candidate accepts his/her candidacy and attests, under their own responsibility, that there are no grounds for ineligibility and incompatibility, as well as the existence of the requirements prescribed by current legislation and the Articles of Association for holding the office of director of the Company; (ii) the appropriate certification issued by an authorised intermediary pursuant to law proving ownership of the number of shares necessary to present the lists; (iii) information regarding both the identity of the shareholders who have presented the list and the percentage of shareholding held by them; and (iv) the curriculum vitae regarding the personal and professional characteristics of each candidate, with an indication of the positions of administration and control held in other companies and any indication of their suitability to qualify as independent. The notice of call must indicate the shareholding for the presentation of the lists and may provide for the filing of further documentation. Lists submitted without complying with the above provisions shall be deemed not to have been submitted.

At the end of the vote, the candidates from the two lists obtaining the highest number of votes according to the following criteria are elected:

a. all the Directors to be elected, except one, are drawn from the list that obtained the highest number of votes, according to the progressive order of presentation ("Majority List");
b. the director in person of the candidate indicated with the first number on the list is drawn from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes, which is not connected in any way, even indirectly, with the shareholders who submitted, contributed to submitting or voted for the Majority List ("Minority List").

The candidate elected in first place on the Majority List is elected Chairman of the Board of Directors. Without prejudice to any other provisions, in the event of a tie, the oldest candidate in terms of age shall be elected.

If the appointment of at least one director (or three in the case of a Board of Directors composed of more than seven members) meeting the independence requirements set forth by legislation and regulations in force from time to time has not been ensured, a non-independent candidate(s), elected last in numerical order on the Majority List, shall be replaced, according to the numerical order in which they are presented, by the first (and, if applicable, also by the second) independent candidate(s) not elected, drawn from the same list.

If, as a result of the above procedure, at least one third of the Board of Directors is not made up of directors belonging to the least represented gender (rounded up to the next higher unit), or in any case it does not comply with the gender balance provided for by laws and regulations in force from time to time, the candidate of the most represented gender elected as last in numerical order on the list that received the highest number of votes shall be replaced by the first candidate of the least represented gender not elected on the same list and in numerical order. This replacement procedure shall take place until compliance with the gender balance criterion provided for by law and the Articles of Association. In the event that the application of the above procedure does

not make it possible to achieve the above result, the replacement shall take place by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting, following the presentation of candidates of the least represented gender.

If the first two lists obtain an equal number of votes, a new vote is taken by the Shareholders' Meeting, with only the first two lists being put to the vote. The same rule applies in the event of a tie between the lists that are second in number of votes and that are not connected, even indirectly, with the shareholders who presented or voted for the competing list. In the event of further parity between lists, the list presented by the shareholders with the largest shareholding or, alternatively, by the largest number of shareholders shall prevail.

For the purposes of allocating the directors to be elected, the Articles of Association do not provide that the lists of candidates must obtain a minimum percentage of votes at the Shareholders' Meeting.

If only one list is submitted or if no list is submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting shall pass resolutions pursuant to and with the majorities required by law, without complying with the above procedure and in compliance with the criterion governing the balance between genders provided by the law and the Articles of Association.

A director who meets the independence requirements pursuant to laws and regulations in force from time to time, and who, after being appointed, loses the independence requirements, must immediately notify the Board of Directors and shall cease to hold office. If a director ceases to meet the above independence requirements, they shall not be disqualified if the minimum number of directors required by current legislation continues to meet those requirements.

Should one or more directors leave office during the year, the Board of Directors will appoint the replacement(s) by co-optation pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, from among the candidates belonging to the same list as the director(s) leaving office, taking care to ensure that the Board of Directors has the necessary number of independent members provided for by the regulations in force from time to time and members belonging to the less represented gender in compliance with Article 15.1 of the Articles of Association. If for any reason there are no names available and eligible, the Board of Directors will appoint the replacement(s) by cooptation pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code without constraints in the choice and taking care to ensure the presence on the Board of Directors of the necessary number of directors belonging to the less represented gender and of independent directors.

If the Shareholders' Meeting is required by law to appoint the directors necessary to complete the Board of Directors following termination of office, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve with the majorities required by law, in compliance with the criteria for the composition of the Board of Directors provided for by law, including regulations, from time to time in force and by Article 15 of the Articles of Association, respecting where possible the principles set forth therein and the principle of minority representation.

Whenever the majority of the members of the Board of Directors cease to be in office for any reason, the entire Board of Directors will be deemed to have resigned and the Shareholders' Meeting must be called without delay by the directors remaining in office to reconstitute the Board.

Directors are subject to the prohibition set forth in Article 2390 of the Italian Civil Code, unless they are exempted from it by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Articles of Association do not provide for additional independence requirements to those established for statutory auditors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, nor for requirements of honourableness and/or professionalism other than those required by law for assuming the office of director.

For further information, please refer to the current Articles of Association available on the website: www.servizitaliagroup.com.

Note that no sector-specific legislation other than that of the Consolidated Law on Finance is applicable to the composition of the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter l), of the TUF and with regard to the amendments to the Articles of Association, it should be noted that any amendments must be made in compliance with legislative and regulatory principles in force, with the specification that Article 17.2 of the Articles of Association confers on the Board of Directors the power to pass resolutions on the matters referred to in Article 2365, paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code.

Diversity criteria and policies in the composition of the Board and in the Company organisation

The Company has applied diversity criteria and policies, in relation to aspects such as age, gender, and training and professional path in relation to the composition of the Board of Directors, in compliance with the primary objective of ensuring the adequate competence and professionalism of its members.

More specifically, with regard to the criterion of gender diversity, it should be noted that:

in compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code and with laws currently applicable to the Company, at least two fifths of the directors currently in office belong to the less represented gender;
in line with Company's practice of timely adaptation to the best practices reflected in the principles of the Corporate Governance Code, the criterion of gender diversity referred to in Corporate Governance Code has been crystallised through a specific amendment to Article 15 of the Articles of Association, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 30 May 2019, establishing the rule (general and no longer limited to the first three mandates after 12 August 2012) according to which "At least one third of the Board of Directors consists of directors of the less represented gender, with rounding up to the superior unit";
following the entry into force of Italian Law No. 160 of 27 December 2019 ("Budget Law 2020"), which, as is well known, has (i) replaced Articles 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter and 148, paragraph 1-bis, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, providing that the portion to be reserved to the less represented gender within the board of directors and the board of statutory auditors must be equal to "at least two fifths", and (ii) established that this criterion will apply for six consecutive terms of office "from the first renewal of the boards of directors and statutory auditors of companies listed on regulated markets after the date of entry into force of this law", which took place on 1 January 2020, the Board of Directors, on 5 March 2020, deemed it appropriate to bring Article 15 of the Articles of Association into line with the general principle that the composition of the board of directors and the board of statutory auditors "must in any case ensure a balance between genders in accordance with the legislation, including regulations, in force from time to time", thus adopting a flexible criterion that makes the Articles of Association flexible and adequate even in the event of further subsequent amendments to the legislation on gender balance (considering the repeated interventions to the texts of Articles 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, and 148, paragraph 1-bis, of the TUF made by the legislator in December 2019). It is represented that: (i) as far as the Board of Directors is concerned, the new regulations were applied from the renewal at the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020; (ii) since this is merely a regulatory adjustment, the two-fifths distribution criterion (of the members to be reserved for the less represented gender) will be applied for six consecutive terms of office starting from the first renewal after 1 January 2020, without prejudice to the application of the distribution criterion already provided for in Article 15 of the Articles of Association as amended by the Shareholders' Meeting of 30 May 2019 (which crystallised the reserve for

the less represented gender by at least one third of the elected members), in compliance with the best practices reflected in the recommendations of the new Corporate Governance Code.

In implementation of the provisions of Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d-bis) of the Consolidated Law on Finance, as well as in compliance with the best practices reflected in the principles and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, on the occasion of the last renewal of the Board, the Board of Directors – having consulted the Appointments Committee – made some considerations on the future size and composition of the Board, which have been submitted to the shareholders for guidance and policy on diversity (the "Diversity Policy") in view of the appointment of the members of the Board of Directors for the three-year period 2021- 2023.

In particular, the Board had taken into account:

the results of the self-assessment of the composition and functioning of the Board and its Committees;
the results of a succession planning process, which, using a specific method proposed by the Appointments Committee, identified a matrix of eligibility for election to the Board, containing inter alia possible candidates for the position of executive director belonging to the Company's organisation. This matrix, available from the Human Resources Department, takes into consideration managerial skills, training and professional experience, age, willingness/motivation to hold the position, as well as the assessment of specific requirements for taking up the position itself, might be taken into consideration in formulating the list in order to ensure a succession plan for executive directors;
of the renewed strategy based on the sustainable success of the Company and Servizi Italia Group, which is substantiated by the creation of long-term value to the benefit of Servizi Italia's Shareholders, taking into account the interests of the other stakeholders relevant to the Company, and therefore the guarantee of business continuity, through the continuous search for optimisations and efficiencies in governance, in the production operations and in the service supply chain, in order to improve business marginality and profitability.

The Board of Directors of Servizi Italia, respecting the prerogatives of the Shareholders in the designation and appointment of its members, had also hoped that in its composition is pursued an objective of integration of different managerial and professional profiles, with particular regard to the business sector in which Servizi Italia operates and to economic, accounting, legal and financial matters, risk management, remuneration policies and social sustainability, and that account is also taken of the importance of a balanced presence of independent members and a balanced representation of gender in compliance with the provisions of the law, as well as the benefits that may derive from the presence of different ages, also in terms of plurality of perspectives and managerial and professional experience.

The Board of Directors had also evaluated the opportunity to suggest to the Shareholders, who are called upon to renew the Board of Directors, whose term of office expired with the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2020, to reduce the total number of members from eleven to seven, in any case in compliance with the limits set out in Article 15 of the Articles of Association (which provides for a minimum of three to a maximum of fourteen members of the Board of Directors). This approach – according to the considerations of the current Board of Directors – would have made it possible to reconcile, on one hand, the maintenance of the skills required in view of the complexity and specificity of business activities, as well as the achievement of the objectives of the medium/long-term Business Plan. In any case, this approach would have been pursued in compliance with the regulations in force and the principles deriving from the Corporate Governance Code concerning the ratio between Executive Directors (at least 2), Non-executive Directors (at least 3) and Independent Directors (at least 2 of the Non-executive Directors), in view of the complexity and specificity of the activities and governance functions (including the Board Committees) of the Company and of the corporate Group it heads, without prejudice, in any case, to compliance with the regulations in force from time to time and applicable on gender balance.

The contents of the Diversity Policy submitted to Shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021 are set out below:

the members of the Board of Directors should be identified in consideration of elements such as age (1/5 of the candidates presented in the list may be over 70 years of age), so as to allow a balanced number of points of views and managerial and professional experiences, a balance between the need for continuity and innovation in management, as well as a composition characterised by a mix of different but complementary competences and experience and, in particular, should:
- be aware of the powers and obligations inherent in the functions, which each of them is required to perform (executive and non-executive functions, independence, etc.);
- be provided with adequate professional skills for the role to be filled, including in any internal committees of the Board of Directors and calibrated in relation to the operational characteristics and size of Servizi Italia;
- be able to devote adequate time to the complexity of the task, taking into account the nature, quality, commitment required and functions carried out in the Company, as well as other tasks in companies or bodies, commitments or work activities carried out;
- direct their work towards the pursuit of the sustainable success and overall interest of the Company and the Group, and thus towards the creation of long-term value for the benefit of the Shareholders, also taking into account the interests of the other stakeholders relevant to the Company, regardless of the corporate structure from which they were voted or from the list from which they were taken, and be capable of expressing independent judgement;
- have a managerial and/or professional profile appropriate to the role and, if they do not hold executive positions in the Company, be able to contribute with special commitment to the dialectical function of the Board of Directors and to an effective monitoring of the choices made by the executive members of the Board;
at least two directors should be independent, on the basis of the criteria established by law and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, in order to ensure an adequate presence of independent directors in the board committees;
in the light of their experience on the boards of directors of listed and unlisted companies, all directors should be able to express their capacity for strategic orientation, stimulation of results, spirit of collaboration, capacity for influence and resolution of any divergences;
one (or more) director(s) should represent the following areas of expertise and experience: (a) management experiences (also multinational), including in situations of strategic and business development; (b) experience in or knowledge of the reality of foreign organisations or institutions, preferably in countries where Servizi Italia operates;
one (or more) director(s) should possess experience and skills in the Company's core business, above all in those sectors of specific interest to Servizi Italia; knowledge of international geo-political dynamics; knowledge of regulatory policies and practices in sectors of interest to the Company and in the countries where it operates;
one (or more) director(s) should have expertise in economic-financial, accounting, sustainability and risk management issues, preferably specific to the type of business offered by the Company and the Group;
one (or more) director(s) should have legal expertise (with particular reference to the areas of commercial, corporate and capital markets law) and corporate governance know-how;
one (or more) Director(s) should have appropriate knowledge and experience in financial or compensation policy matters;
professional profiles that present causes for ineligibility to hold office, pursuant to current legislation, cannot be nominated. In particular, those who fall under the cases provided for by Article 53, paragraph 16-

ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 165/2001 (pantouflage or revolving doors) are excluded from the position of Director;

The Chairman should therefore have the following characteristics: (i) be a person with experience and authority to ensure, during his term of office, the correct, efficient and effective management of the Board of Directors, within which he has the task of creating a strong spirit of cohesion, encouraging the equal participation of all Directors in the Board's debate; (ii) be a person with leadership and professional and business backgrounds appropriate to the position and complementary to those of the Delegated Body; (iii) have experience on the boards of directors of large companies of a size and complexity comparable to those of Servizi Italia; (iv) to be able to devote time, presence, and commitment to the full performance of their role and duties;
The Delegated Body whether represented, in compliance with Article 17 of the Articles of Association, by a Chief Executive Officer or by an Executive Committee composed of members chosen among the members of the Board of Directors – should be composed of Directors who possess the following characteristics: (i) have significant and successful experience in senior executive roles in large companies of comparable size and complexity to Servizi Italia; (ii) possess strategic orientation skills and, preferably, experience and/or knowledge of Servizi Italia's business or related sectors, with particular reference to governmental and institutional opportunities and risks, including international ones, as well as economic-financial and operational control skills; (iii) have leadership, authority and a recognised strategic vision and management style oriented towards the ability to create team spirit among employees.

In order for the Company's Board of Directors to carry out its duties as effectively as possible, it is considered essential that, at the time of their acceptance of their office of Director, even for non-executive roles, all candidates should have carefully assessed and guarantee Shareholders their availability in terms of the time necessary for the full and diligent performance of their responsibilities and of the tasks assigned to them.

On the occasion of the first meeting following the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021, the Board of Directors ascertained that the current composition of it was in compliance with the legislation, including regulations, in force and with the principles and criteria illustrated in the Diversity Policy.

It should be noted that the Board of Directors currently in office will expire with the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and that, in view of the renewal of the Company's Board of Directors for the three-year period 2024-2026, the Governance and Related-Party Committee, acting as the nominating committee, has carried out the self-assessment activity referred to in the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code by means of a so-called "selfassessment" questionnaire in line with the principles of flexibility and proportionality that govern the application of the Code's recommendations, through which each member of the Board of Directors (and/or member of an Board Committee) has, anonymously, answered several questions aimed at verifying, inter alia, (i) whether the current size, composition and actual functioning of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees are actually suitable to allow the Board of Directors and its Board Committees to properly perform the tasks for which it/they are entrusted; (ii) whether the quantitative and qualitative parameters, referring to commercial, financial or professional relations that may be abstractly capable of jeopardising the independence of the Directors, as identified during the Board meeting of 20 April 2021 and referred to above, are still viewed as acceptable and current.

The questionnaires, administered by the Corporate Affairs department, showed, on the whole, widespread satisfaction with the current size, composition and actual functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees, and that the quantitative and qualitative parameters, referring to commercial, financial or professional relations that may be abstractly capable of jeopardising the independence of the Directors, as identified during the Board meeting of 20 April 2021 and referred to above, are still viewed as acceptable and current

The Committee, after having acknowledged the results of the self-assessment activity, has shared the Guidelines and policies on diversity in the composition of the Board of Directors of Servizi Italia S.p.A. with regard to the forthcoming renewal of the Board of Directors, scheduled to take place at the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The aforementioned Policy, given the results of the Board assessment process, describes the characteristics considered optimal in relation to the breakdown of the future administrative body of the Company, so that it can perform its duties in the most effective and efficient manner.

In particular, according to the content of the Policy approved by the Board of Directors at the Board meeting of 7 March 2024:

Maximum accumulation of positions held in other companies

The Board of Directors has not defined general criteria for the maximum number of directorships and control positions that its own Directors may hold in other companies. The lack of establishment of a general rule on the maximum number of positions held essentially resides in the multiplicity of abstractly possible situations, which differ in relation to the characteristics of each individual Director, as well as the type, size, complexity and specificity of the sector of activity of the companies in which the additional offices are held, as well as the specific role held.

However, the Board of Directors carried out a specific and precise evaluation of the situation of each individual member, in order to verify that it can be considered compatible with an effective performance of the role of director in Servizi Italia. As a result of this assessment, each director was deemed to be in a position compatible with the effective performance of the aforementioned role.

The decision not to define general criteria for the maximum number of directorships and control positions that its own Directors may hold in other companies has been re-evaluated during the Financial year in the context of the Board of Directors' self-assessment process, which has confirmed this opportunity.

4.4 Operation of the Board of Directors (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), of the TUF)

The Board of Directors and the related committees have adopted specific regulations aimed at governing their composition, duties, rules and operating methods. With particular reference to the Regulations of the Board of Directors, it should be noted that the same defines, inter alia, the methods for taking the minutes of the meetings and the procedures for managing the information to the Directors, including the terms for sending information prior to the meeting and the methods for protecting the confidentiality of the data and information provided so as not to jeopardise the timeliness and completeness of the information flows. Furthermore, the professional requirements and powers of the secretary of the Board of Directors are defined in the Regulations of the Board of Directors.

In particular, with reference to the procedures for taking minutes, the aforementioned Regulation of the Board of Directors dictates that: (i) specific minutes are drawn up of each meeting of the Board by the secretary, signed by the chairperson of the meeting and by the secretary taking the minutes, (ii) copies of the minutes signed by the chairperson of the meeting or by the secretary provide full evidence; (iii) the minutes adequately acknowledge the progress of the work and any dissent expressed by the members of the Board on the individual issues and their reasons.

And also that: (i) the minutes are distributed in preliminary draft as soon as they are available, with an invitation to report any observations in time for the preparation of the final version, which, as a rule, is made available by the next meeting of Board for their transcription in the specific corporate book; (ii) with reference to the resolutions adopted that require immediate execution, the minutes can be certified and abstracted by the chairman and the secretary of the Board of Directors, even before the completion of the verification and approval process of the entire minutes, making sure that the secretary indicates this need during the meeting.

With reference to the information prior to the board meeting, the Regulations of the Board of Directors provide that, for the discussion of the items on the agenda, the supporting documentation that provides the necessary information is made available to the Directors and Standing Auditors, by the secretary who makes use of the Company's Legal and Corporate Affairs Department for this purpose, to allow them to express themselves with awareness and in an informed manner on the matters to be debated and resolved. The aforementioned documentation is made available in a manner suitable for guaranteeing the necessary security and confidentiality, as a rule on the same date on which the meeting is called, where possible, and in any case in compliance with the deadline – deemed appropriate – of at least two working days before the meeting. Without prejudice to cases of urgency, in which the documentation is made available in the best possible time.

If the documentation made available is voluminous or complex, the Chairman – with the help of the Secretary who avails themselves of the relevant corporate functions – must ensure that the same is accompanied by a document summarising the most significant and relevant points for the decisions on the agenda, it being understood that this document cannot be considered as a substitute for the complete documentation sent to the Directors. The information distributed is supplemented (and, if necessary, replaced, where appropriate) by the information provided during the board meeting or during specific preparatory and in-depth meetings.

The Chairman – with the help of the secretary – must verify that the above documentation has been duly made available to the Directors and the Standing Auditors. In the event that it is not possible to respect the deadline

set for the information prior to the board meeting, the chairman – with the help of the secretary – ensures that adequate and timely in-depth analyses are carried out during the meeting, also, where necessary, with the help of the competent corporate functions.

Where the chairman deems it appropriate, in relation to the content of the topic and the related resolution, the documentation may be provided directly during the meeting, giving prior notice of this to the Directors and Standing Auditors within two working days before the meeting.

The supporting documentation for board meetings is archived in the Board's records.

The Directors play their role within the Board of Directors, or in the context of the Committees in which the Board of Directors is organised. Any requests for data, documents and news formulated outside the Board meetings are addressed to the secretary and the chairman of the Board of Directors, who ensure their response in the most suitable ways to ensure the functionality of the investigative and information processes.

The transmission of documentation is coordinated by the secretary, in agreement with the corporate functions involved, to the extent of their competence. Documentation not already publicly available is normally classified as "reserved and confidential" and their disclosure to third parties is prohibited.

The provisions of the Regulations of the Board of Directors have been fully applied and, in particular, pre-meeting information was made available in compliance with the envisaged deadlines, through a specific portal.

During the Reference Financial Year, there were no exceptional events in which information prior to a board meeting required confidentiality limits. The Chairman of the Board of Directors also ensured that the items on the agenda were given the necessary time to allow for constructive debate, encouraging contributions from individual directors during the meetings.

Table 2, attached to this Report, shows the structure of the Board of Directors, the number of meetings held during the Financial Year, their average duration, the actual participation of each member and information on the year of birth and date of first appointment of the members of the Boards, as well as their respective role.

For the 2024 financial year, with the possibility of amendments and/or additions, the Company identified the meetings of the Board of Directors referred to in the events calendar duly published within the time limits required by law. Up until the Reference date, the Board of Directors met 4 (four) times.

The Shareholders' Meeting did not authorise, in a general and preventive manner, exceptions to the noncompetition clause provided for in Article 2390 of the Italian Civil Code, and the Board did not assess any problematic cases on these merits.

4.5 ROLE OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Chairman of the Board of Directors plays a liaison role between the Executive and Non-executive Directors and takes care of the effective functioning of the Board's work, guaranteeing the most appropriate management of the meetings' timetable, promoting the optimisation of the debate and monitoring the extension of the discussion, accordingly to the importance of the items on the agenda.

In particular, during the Financial Year, the Chairman ensured:

that the documentation necessary to the meetings of the Board of Directors was made available to the Directors and Standing Auditors in a manner suitable for guaranteeing the necessary security and confidentiality and well in advance of the date of the meetings, as well as the suitability of the complementary information provided during the board meetings, so as to allow the Directors to act in an informed manner in the performance of their role;
the coordination of the activity of the board committees (with preliminary, proposing and consultative functions) with the activity of the Board, through periodic reporting made in the capacity of Chairman of the Executive Committee and the involvement and dialogue with the Chairman of the Governance and Related-Party Committee;

in agreement with the Executive Committee, the participation in board meetings – also at the request of individual directors – of the managers of the Issuer and of the companies of the group it heads, managers of the competent corporate functions according to the matter in question, to provide the appropriate in-depth analysis of the items on the agenda. In particular, during the Financial Year, the following attended the Board meetings: the General Manager (permanent guest), the Financial Reporting Manager, the Director of Foreign Development and the Manager responsible for the NFS. The Head of M&A, the Head of Strategic Planning, the Head of Consolidated Financial Statements, the Head of Communications, the Head of the Function for the Prevention of Corruption, the Head of Management Control also attended;
the adequacy and transparency of the Board's self-assessment process, with the support of the Governance and Related-Party Committee acting as Appointments Committee. On this point, the Board of Directors, considering the qualification of Servizi Italia as a company that is not large and with concentrated ownership and that, therefore, the self-assessment of the Board of Directors and its internal committees must be carried out at least every three years in view of the renewal of the Board (whose term of office – in this case and as known – will expire with the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023), has started in the month of February 2024, a self-assessment process aimed at evaluating the functioning of the Board itself and its Committees, as well as their size and composition, also taking into account elements such as the professional characteristics, experience, including managerial expertise, and the gender of its members, as well as their seniority in office, also in relation to the diversity criteria provided for by the Policy adopted by the Company in compliance with the recommendations of Article 4 of the Corporate Governance Code. The evaluation process was carried out by means of an analytical questionnaire with specific sections for the reporting of any issues worthy of further investigation, prepared by the Governance and Related-Party Committee acting as Appointments Committee and delivered to all directors. This in order to:
carry out an initial individual assessment by each member of the body, and a second collective assessment;
measure the results achieved, attempting to identify the reasons and possible corrective actions that can be taken to improve the operation of the body itself.

During 2024, the results of the questionnaire were then assessed in their entirety by the Governance and Related-Party Committee acting as Appointments Committee and then by the Board of Directors. On the basis of the findings, the Board of Directors deemed that the size, composition and operation of the Board and its committees is adequate in relation to the Company's organisational and management needs, and that the composition of the Board complies with the criteria of diversity set forth in the Policy adopted by the Company.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors also ensured that the same was in any case informed, at the first available meeting, on the development and significant contents of the dialogue with all shareholders, in compliance with the provisions of the current Policy for the management of the dialogue with the Shareholders approved by the Company.

Secretary of the Board

Pursuant to the current Regulations of the Board of Directors, approved by the board resolution adopted on 20 April 2021, on the proposal of the Chairman, the Board appoints a Secretary for the organisation of its work, choosing them from among subjects – whether employees of the Company or third parties – who have gained an overall experience of at least one year in the corporate sphere with particular regard to issues concerning companies listed on a regulated market.

The Secretary is responsible for supporting the Chairman in conducting their activities and providing impartial assistance and advice to the Board on every aspect relevant to the correct functioning of the corporate governance system, also drawing up the minutes of each Board meeting, a document which is signed together with the Chairman. The Secretary also oversees the filing of the minutes and company books. In the event of their impediment or absence, the duties of the Secretary are entrusted to another person appointed from time to time

by the Board on the proposal of the Chairman, also within the staff of the Legal and Corporate Affairs Department.

On 20 April 2021 the Board of Directors appointed Ms Elena Abbati, an employee of the Company meeting the aforementioned requirements, as Board Secretary. Ms Abbati was also appointed Secretary of the Executive Committee and of the Governance and Related-Party Committee, in compliance with the regulations adopted by the same. In the absence of Ms Abbati, on 13 May 2022, the Board of Directors assigned the role of interim Secretary of the Board of Directors to Mr Matteo Falco, external consultant of the Company, who meets the professional requirements identified in the Regulations of the Board of Directors, who also acted as interim Secretary of the Executive Committee and of the Governance and Related-Party Committee.

In November 2022, Ms Abbati resumed her role as Secretary of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the Governance and Related-Party Committee.

During the Reference Financial Year, Ms Abbati has supported the Chairpersons of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the Board committees, providing impartial assistance and advice on every aspect relevant to the proper functioning of the corporate governance system.

Finally, in February 2024 Ms. Abbati resigned from her role as Secretary and consequently, until the end of the mandate of the current Board of Directors, which will expire with the Shareholders' Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2023, the Board will appoint a member identified from time to time in compliance with the requirements set out in the Regulations of the Board of Directors.

4.7 Independent Directors and Lead Independent Director Independent Directors

The Board of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2021 is made up of seven directors, of which three independent pursuant to the TUF and the Corporate Governance Code: Benedetta Pinna, Anna Maria Fellegara and Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo. The number of Independent Directors and their skills were deemed by the Board of Directors to be adequate for the needs of the company and for the operation of the Board, as well as for the establishment of the related Committees.

It should be noted that the Chairman of the Board of Directors was neither qualified as independent nor indicated as such in the list from which they were drawn.

At the beginning of its mandate, the Board of Directors predefined the quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the significance of the relevant circumstances pursuant to the Code for the purposes of assessing the independence of the directors. In particular, the Board of Directors identified the following criteria:

quantitative parameters: (i) additional annual remuneration (accrued by the Director towards the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or the parent company) in total equal to or greater than 100% of the overall fixed annual remuneration due to the Director in question (a) for the office of Director and (b) for any particular offices within the Board (including that of member of the Committees recommended by the Code); (ii) annual value of the commercial/financial/professional relationship between the company/professional firm/consultancy company of which the Director is an executive director or partner or shareholder on the one hand, and the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or the parent company and/or the related executive directors/top management on the other hand is higher than 20% of the annual turnover of the company/professional firm/consultancy firm referable to the Director.
qualitative parameters: (i) the commercial/financial relationship is of a strategic nature for the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or the parent company; (ii) the professional relationship has as its object strategic consultancy (in favour of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or the parent company) and/or assistance and consultancy in relation to a transaction of strategic importance for the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or the parent company.

Servizi Italia S.p.A. – Report on corporate governance and ownership structure – Financial year 2023 29

Immediately after the appointment, the Board of Directors positively assessed the satisfaction of the independence requirements envisaged by Articles 147-ter, paragraph 4, and 148, paragraph 3, of the TUF and recommendations No. 6 and 7 of the Corporate Governance Code for the directors Anna Maria Fellegara, Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo and Benedetta Pinna and it announced the outcome of their assessments by means of a press release issued to the market.

In conducting this verification, the Board of Directors deemed not relevant for the purposes of assessing the independence of the Director Anna Maria Fellegara, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, that she had previously held the office of Standing Auditor of the Company for more than nine of the last 12 years, this in consideration of the fact that, as expressly provided for by the Corporate Governance Code, there must be more regard to the substance than to the form and by reason of both the judgement of high professionalism, experience and independence of position unanimously held on Ms Fellegara and the significant differences – in terms of functions, responsibilities and involvement in management decisions – between the office of Standing Auditor held in the Company until 28 April 2020 and the that of Independent Director.

Subsequently, in the Reference Financial Year and in the 2024 financial year, the management body assessed the independence requirements of the independent Directors in office at least annually, confirming they were met.

In making the above assessments, the Board of Directors considered all the information available, in particular that provided by the Directors being assessed, assessing all the circumstances that could potentially compromise the independence identified by the TUF and the Code and applied all the criteria envisaged by the Code with reference to the independence of directors. Each director has provided all the elements necessary or useful for the assessment of the Board of Directors.

The correct application of the criteria and procedures adopted by the Board to assess the independence of its members was also positively assessed by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

It should be noted that all the independent Directors of the Company are members of the Governance and Related-Party Committee and, during the Reference Financial Year, they met, at the initiative of the Lead Independent Director, Mr Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo, 11 (eleven) times (and another time on 16 January 2024) in the absence of the other Directors in circumstances unrelated to the meetings of the Governance and Related-Party Committee, in particular on the occasion of the voluntary full take-over bid promoted by Cometa and aimed at acquiring all the shares of Servizi Italia minus the controlling interest held by Aurum S.p.A. and the treasury shares held by the Company .

The Independent Directors met in view of the fact that, in the context of the operation described above and, in particular, in consideration of the fact that the Offer was subject to the rules set forth in Article 39-bis of the Issuers' Regulations, their role was of particular importance, since they were called upon to formulate a reasoned opinion containing their assessments of the Offer and the fairness of the consideration contained therein.

It should be noted that all the current Independent Directors qualified as meeting the requirements of independence also in the context of the lists filed for the appointment of the Board of Directors at the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021. Even in the absence of an express commitment to this effect, all the Independent Directors maintained their independence until the Reference Date. Please note that Article 15.4 of the Articles of Association specifies that if a Director ceases to meet the above independence requirements, this will not determine their disqualification if the minimum number of Directors required by current legislation continues to meet those requirements.

Lead Independent Director

Although conditions do not subsist as pursuant to recommendation 13 of the Corporate Governance Code, having taken into account the fact that the office of Chairman is held by the same person who also holds the office of Chairman of the shareholder controlling the Issuer, in continuity with the past, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to provide itself with a further corporate governance structure deriving from international best

practices, appointing a Lead Independent Director in the person of the independent director Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo.

The Lead Independent Director: (i) represents a reference and coordination point for the requests and contributions of non-executive directors and, in particular, those who are independent; (ii) coordinates the meetings exclusively held for independent directors.

During the Reference Financial Year, the Lead Independent Director actively participated in the meetings of the Board of Directors, coordinating, where necessary or appropriate, the requests and contributions of nonexecutive directors and in particular of independent directors, in particular at the time of the Offer made by Cometa as described above.

5.0 MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY INFORMATION

The Company's Board of Directors approved a specific procedure for the internal management and external communication of documents and information concerning Servizi Italia, which regulates the procedures for the processing, internal management and external communication of documents and corporate information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, including information regulated pursuant to Article 113-ter of the TUF, and with particular reference to inside information pursuant to Article 7 of EU Regulation No. 596/2014.

Servizi Italia has also established a Register of Persons with access to inside information in accordance with Article 18 of EU Reg. No. 596/2014, with particular attention to the recommendations contained in the "Consob Guidelines" on the management of inside information, delegating to a qualified third-party supplier the maintenance and custody of the same, on the basis of the information transmitted by the Corporate Affairs Office.

Furthermore, in compliance with the provisions of the Consob Guidelines on the management of inside information, the Company identified sixteenth categories of relevant information (the term "relevant information" refers to any information that has a sufficient chance of becoming inside information subsequently, or even imminently, but is not yet sufficiently accurate to be deemed as such), establishing a special register (the "Register of Relevant Information" or "RRI"), in which are indicated for each category of relevant information (if necessary divided into sub-categories) the functions that typically have access (or have the right to access) to information of the category (or, if it is the case, of the sub-categories), with an indication of the responsible persons.

Without prejudice to the specific provisions of this procedure, the Directors, Statutory Auditors, managers, employees, agents and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are bound to comply with statutory provisions and keep confidential inside information, relevant information and generally all documentation and information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries of which they become aware in the performance of their duties (unless made public in the required forms), handling the information only through specifically authorised channels, as well as adopting all other precautions to ensure that the information is circulated within the company without compromising its confidential nature.

6.0 INTERNAL BOARD COMMITTEES (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), of the TUF)

Within the Board of Directors, in compliance with the provisions of Principle XI and of Recommendation No. 16 of the Corporate Governance Code, considering that the Corporate Governance Code provides for the option to distribute in a different way or even merge into a single committee the preliminary, propositional and consultative functions regarding appointments, remuneration and control and risks of the committees envisaged by the Code and with a view to improving organisational efficiency, on 20 April 2021 the Board of Directors established the Governance and Related-Party Committee (the "Governance Committee"), made up of three non-executive and independent directors pursuant to the law and to the Code. The Governance Committee is entrusted with preliminary, proposal and advisory functions on appointments, remuneration and control and risks, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code and to the Risk Policy adopted by the Company (hereinafter

referred to as the "Guidelines for the Internal Control and Risk Management System"), as well as the functions envisaged by Consob Regulation No. 17221/10 and the Related-Party Regulations adopted by the Company. The Board of Directors has also approved a Governance Committee regulations, which define the operating rules, including the procedures for recording the minutes of the meetings and the procedures for the management of information flows to its members, specifying the terms for sending preliminary information and the methods for protecting the confidentiality of the data and information provided so as not to jeopardise the timeliness and completeness of the information flows.

In particular, with reference to the procedures for taking minutes, it is envisaged that specific minutes are drawn up by the Secretary for each Board meeting, signed by the chairman of the meeting and by the Secretary taking the minutes. Copies of the minutes signed by the chairman of the meeting or by the Secretary provide full evidence. The minutes adequately acknowledge the progress of the work and any dissent expressed by the members of the Board on the individual issues and their reasons.

The minutes are distributed in preliminary draft as soon as available, with an invitation to report any comments in time for the preparation of the final version, which, as a rule, is made available by the next meeting of the Board for transcription in the appropriate company records.

With reference to the resolutions adopted that require immediate execution, the minutes can be certified and abstracted by the Chairman and the Secretary of the Board of Directors, even before the completion of the verification and approval process of the entire minutes. This need is indicated by the Secretary during the meeting.

With reference to disclosures, the Governance Committee Regulations provides that, for the discussion of the items on the agenda, the supporting documentation with which the necessary information is provided is made available to the members of the Committee and the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors invited to the meeting (and, with regard to internal control and risk management issues, to the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system) to allow the members of the Committee to express themselves with awareness and in an informed manner on matters subject to debate and deliberation.

The supporting documentation is made available in a manner suitable for guaranteeing the necessary security and confidentiality, as a rule on the same date on which the meeting is called, where possible, and in any case in compliance with the deadline – deemed appropriate – of at least two days before the meeting. Without prejudice to cases of urgency, in which the documentation is made available in the best possible time.

In the event that it is not possible to comply with the deadline set above for preliminary disclosure to Committee meetings, the Chairman – with the assistance of the Secretary – ensures that adequate and timely in-depth analyses are carried out on the subject during the meeting, where necessary, with the help of the competent corporate functions.

The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors or another Statutory Auditor designated by the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors attends the meetings of the Committee; the other Statutory Auditors may also participate. In relation to the items on the agenda from time to time, other parties are also invited to participate in the meetings of the Committee (including the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, the Head of the Internal Audit Department), the managers of the independent auditors, the Financial Reporting Manager, the Human Resources Manager, other employees of the Company and/or of the Group companies), whose contribution is deemed necessary in relation to the matters on the agenda.

In particular, during the Financial Year, the following internal department manager/heads participated in the meetings of the Committee: the Chairperson and Director in charge of the internal control system, the Financial Reporting Manager, the Chief Financial Officer, the Manager responsible for the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Manager responsible for the NFS; the Head of Communications, the Human Resources Manager; the Head of Internal Audit, the Head of Corruption Prevention; the Head of Antitrust Compliance, and the Tax Manager.

If the Chairman deems it appropriate in relation to the content of the topic and the related resolution, the information documentation may be provided directly during the meeting, giving prior notice to the members of the Committee within the above mentioned term. The supporting documentation for the meetings is archived in the Committee's records.

The provisions of the Regulations of the Governance Committee have been fully applied and, in particular, in the rare cases in which it was not possible to provide the necessary information well in advance, the Chairman – with the assistance of the Secretary – made sure that during the meeting adequate and timely investigations on the subject were carried out also, where necessary, with the help of the competent corporate functions. The documentation was made available through a dedicated portal.

It should be noted that the functions of the committees provided for in the Code have not been reserved for the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors determined the composition of the Committees by promoting the competence and experience of the relative members.

Additional committees (other than those required by law or recommended by the Code)

No further committees were set up, other than those required by law or by the Code.

7.0 SELF-ASSESSMENT AND SUCCESSION OF DIRECTORS – APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE

7.1 Self-assessment and succession of Directors

In the course of the financial year 2022, as already discussed in the previous year's corporate governance report, considering the qualification of Servizi Italia as a non-large company with concentrated ownership and taking into account that the self-assessment of the Board of Directors and of its committees should be carried out prior to the renewal of the Board of Directors (whose mandate – as known – will expire with the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023), the Governance Committee agreed to carry out a board assessment more frequently than recommended by the Corporate Governance Code, being well able to carry out a one-off assessment in addition to the three-yearly self-assessment process, also taking into account the fact that half of the three-year mandate of the Board of Directors in office has elapsed.

In particular, the Governance Committee agreed to carry out the self-assessment through a questionnaire, in line with the principles of flexibility and proportionality that inform the application of the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, through which each member of the Board of Directors (and/or member of an internal board committee) answered, anonymously, various questions aimed at verifying whether:

(i) the current size, composition and actual functioning of the administrative body and of its committees are effectively suitable to allow the Board of Directors and its committees to correctly fulfil the tasks to delegated to them;

(ii) the quantitative and qualitative parameters, referring to the commercial, financial or professional relationships abstractly deemed able to prejudice the independence of Directors, as identified during the Board meeting of 20 April 2021, are still acceptable and considered current.

Therefore, the self-assessment process did not envisage the involvement of external consultants.

During 2023, the results of the questionnaire were then overall assessed by the Governance Committee and then by the Board of Directors. On the basis of the findings, the Board of Directors considered that the size, composition and functioning of the Board and of its Committees are adequate with respect to the organisational and management needs of the Company and that the quantitative and qualitative parameters, referring to commercial, financial or professional relations deemed able to prejudice the independence of Directors, as identified during the board meeting of 20 April 2021, are still acceptable and current.

In consideration of the suggestions made during the self-assessment, the Chairman shared with the Board of Directors a series of induction sessions, intended for Directors and Statutory Auditors, concerning in-depth analyses related to the internal control and risk management system and regulatory updates.

Furthermore, in implementation of the provisions of Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d-bis) of the TUF, as well as in compliance with the best practices reflected in the principles and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code , on the occasion of the last renewal of the Board, the Board of Directors, having consulted the Appointments Committee, made some considerations on the future size and composition of the Board, which were subsequently submitted to the shareholders for guidance and policy in relation to diversity (the "Diversity Policy"), to the shareholders in view of the appointment of the above mentioned board for the three-year period 2021-2023.

In particular, the Board had taken into account:

the results of the self-assessment of the composition and functioning of the Board and its Committees;
the results of a succession planning process, which, using a specific method proposed by the Appointments Committee, identified a matrix of eligibility for election to the Board, containing inter alia possible candidates for the position of executive director belonging to the Company's organisation. This matrix, available from the Human Resources Department, takes into consideration managerial skills, training and professional experience, age, willingness/motivation to hold the position, as well as the assessment of specific requirements for taking up the position itself, might be taken into consideration in formulating the list in order to ensure a succession plan for executive directors;
of the Group's renewed strategy based on the sustainable success of the Company and the Group, which is substantiated by the creation of long-term value to the benefit of Servizi Italia's Shareholders, taking into account the interests of the other stakeholders relevant to the Company, and therefore the guarantee of business continuity, through the continuous search for optimisations and efficiencies in governance, in the production operations and in the service supply chain, in order to improve business marginality and profitability.

The Diversity Policy was made available on the Company's website, as an attachment to the Directors' Report on the items on the agenda of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021, at the same time as the publication of the notice of call.

It should be noted that the Board of Directors currently in office will expire with the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2023 and that, in view of the renewal of the Company's Board of Directors for the three-year period 2024-2026, the Governance and Related-Party Committee, acting as the nominating committee, has carried out the self-evaluation activity by means of a self-assessment questionnaire in line with the principles of flexibility and proportionality that govern the application of the Code's recommendations, through which each member of the Board of Directors (and/or member of an Board Committee) has, anonymously, answered several questions aimed at verifying, inter alia, (i) whether the current size, composition and actual functioning of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees are actually suitable to allow the Board of Directors and its Board Committees to properly perform the tasks for which it/they are entrusted; (ii) whether the quantitative and qualitative parameters, referring to commercial, financial or professional relations that may be abstractly capable of jeopardising the independence of the Directors, as identified during the Board meeting of 20 April 2021 and referred to above, are still viewed as acceptable and current.

identified during the Board meeting of 20 April 2021 and referred to above, are still viewed as acceptable and current

In particular, according to the contents of the Policy approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting of 7 March 2024:

(v) the Board of Directors has considered the opportunity to suggest to the Shareholders called upon to renew the Board of Directors expiring with the approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 – to maintain the total number of seven Directors, given that the current composition of the Board of Directors allows for compliance with current regulations and the principles set forth in the Code regarding the ratio between Executive Directors (at least two), Non-Executive Directors (at least 3) and Independent Directors (at least 2 of the Non-Executive Directors);
(vi) the members of the Board of Directors should be appointed in consideration of elements such as age, background and professional characteristics, expertise, including managerial, as well as their seniority in office;
(vii) the Chairperson is required to promote the effective functioning of the corporate governance system by guaranteeing the balance of powers between the Company's bodies and by playing a role in driving and coordinating the Board in the pursuit of the Company's best interests, while at the same time representing a guarantee figure for all the Shareholders and, likewise, all the Company's stakeholders;
(viii) the Delegated Body should be composed of Directors with (a) significant experience in top executive positions held in large companies of a size and complexity comparable to those of Servizi Italia, (b) strategic orientation skills and, preferably, experience and/or knowledge of Servizi Italia's business or related sectors, (c) leadership, authority, as well as recognised strategic vision and a management style focused on the ability to create team spirit among employees;

The Diversity Policy, as last updated at the outcome of the Board assessment will be made available at on the Company's website, as an attachment to the Directors' Report on the items on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting of 22 April 2024, at the same time as the publication of the notice of call.

Please also note that, with reference to the "succession plan", the Articles of Association govern the mechanism for appointing Directors on the basis of lists submitted by Shareholders, as well as the replacement of Directors during their mandate. The Board of Directors, in its meeting of 4 March 2021, resolved to approve the updated succession planning policy, subject to the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The updated succession planning policy mainly concerned the integration of the requirements of the delegated body and of the succession and contingency plan in the event of its impediment, even temporarily, as

well as the updating of the roles envisaged in the company organisation. The succession planning policy is aimed at:

favouring, as a guarantee of a succession plan for Executive Directors, the preparation by the Company of an eligibility matrix for the Board containing the criteria for identifying possible candidates for the office of director belonging to the organisation of Servizi Italia;
ensuring business continuity and facilitating a generational turnover in the Company through the definition of structured phases and succession tables for Executives with strategic responsibilities, Senior Managers, key/special roles within the organisation, in order to reduce uncertainty in business management and be in a position to select the best possible substitutes;
managing, through a structured procedure, the succession of the CEO/members of the Executive Committee in case of temporary impediment or termination of office;
encouraging the professional growth of Company employees with leadership skills and ensuring the corporate sustainability of role changes by identifying short- and medium-term successors for all strategic managerial positions; implementing individual development plans for these employees (development of skills, performance management system, retention policy).

The succession planning process is activated every three years, on the initiative of the Human Resources Manager. The review process also includes the involvement of the delegated body (Chief Executive Officer or Executive Committee), of the Governance Committee acting in relation to Appointments and Remuneration and the Heads of functions.

7.2 APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE

On 20 April 2021, the Board of Directors set up the Governance and Related-Party Committee ("GC"), which is also responsible for appointments. This, in consideration of the option contemplated by recommendation 16 of the Corporate Governance Code, to distribute differently or even merge into a single committee the investigative, propositional and advisory functions on appointments, remuneration and control and risks.

Composition and operation of the appointments committee (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), of the TUF)

With competence in the matter of appointments for the duration of the Board of Directors (i.e. until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements at 31 December 2023), the GC is made up of three Independent Directors: Anna Maria Fellegara (Chairwoman), Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo and Benedetta Pinna.

Table 3, attached to this Report, shows the structure of the Committees, the number of meetings held during the Financial Year, their average duration, the actual participation of each member, their role, the number of meetings scheduled for the current year, as well as those already held.

The meetings of the GC were coordinated by the Chairwoman, the respective meetings were regularly minuted and the Chairwoman reported on the activities carried out to the first possible meeting of the Board of Directors. The meetings were attended, on individual items on the agenda, by Directors or representatives of corporate functions who are not members, upon invitation by the Chairwoman of the Committee itself and – in the case of the participation of representatives of the corporate functions competent for the matter – informing the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system.

All members of the Board of Statutory Auditors attended the meetings of the GC, except in cases of justified absence.

Functions of the appointments committee

The GC assumed the following preliminary, consultative and proposal-making functions with regard to appointments vis-à-vis the Board of Directors:

assisting the Board of Directors in the self-assessment activities of the Board of Directors and its Committees;
assisting the Board of Directors in defining the optimal composition of the Board and its Committees and in defining and updating the Board of Directors' diversity policy;
assisting the Board of Directors in identifying candidates for the office of Director in the event of cooptation;
assisting the Board of Directors in preparing, updating and implementing any plan for the succession of Executive Directors.

In relation to the Financial Year, the main activities carried out by the GC in relation to appointments relate to providing support to the Board of Directors in defining and planning the activities for the self-assessment of the Board of Directors and of its Committees.

For the purpose of carrying out the tasks assigned to it, the GC has had the opportunity to access the information and company functions necessary for the performance of its own tasks, have financial resources and make use of external consultants, within the terms established by the Board.

8.0 REMUNERATION OF BOARD DIRECTORS

8.1 Remuneration of Directors

Remuneration policy

On the proposal of the former Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's Remuneration Policy relating to the three-year period "2021-2023" (the "Remuneration Policy"), in compliance with the applicable legislation. This document defines the guidelines that all the corporate bodies involved must observe in order to determine the remuneration of directors – in particular executive directors and other directors holding special charges – and executives with strategic responsibilities, both at a procedural level (procedure for defining and implementing remuneration policies) and at a substantial level (criteria that must be complied with in setting the remuneration).

In particular, the Remuneration Policy:

i) sets out how it contributes to the corporate strategy, the pursuit of the Company's long-term interests and sustainable success, and is determined taking into account the compensation and working conditions of the Company's employees;

ii) defines the various remuneration components that may be recognised and establishes the criteria for the recognition of variable remuneration based on financial and non-financial performance objectives, linked to the corporate strategy for the improvement of economic value performance and the management of sustainability issues contained in the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 254/2016;

iii) specifies the elements of the Remuneration Policy from which an exception may be made under exceptional circumstances, and the procedural conditions under which, without prejudice to the provisions on related-party transactions, the exception may be applied.

In compliance with the provisions of Article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the TUF, the Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2021 was called upon to resolve:

• in a binding manner on the remuneration policy described in the first section of the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid;

• in a non-binding manner on the second section of the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid, which represents the items making up the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors and executives with strategic responsibilities and analytically illustrates the compensation paid during the Reference Financial Year.

The Shareholders' Meeting, held on 20 April 2021, passed a favourable resolution, accepting both points.

In determining the remuneration and its individual components, the Remuneration Policy takes into account a balance of the overall remuneration consisting of a fixed monetary component and of both short- and medium/long-term variable monetary components, whose weight will take into account the specific content of the powers delegated to individual beneficiaries and/or the functions and role they actually perform within the company.

The Remuneration Policy provides for maximum limits on the payment of variable components, as well as performance objectives to which the payment of the variable components is linked. These objectives are predetermined and relate to the Company's strategic objectives aimed at promoting its sustainable success, also including non-financial parameters linked to the corporate strategy for improving the economic value performance and to the management of sustainability issues contained in the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement referred to in Italian Legislative Decree No. 254/2016.

The Remuneration Policy also defines contractual agreements that allow the Company to request the return, in whole or in part, of variable components of remuneration paid (or to withhold sums subject to deferment), determined on the basis of data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect.

It should be noted that the Company's new 2024-2026 Remuneration Policy will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2023.

Note that in compliance with the provisions of Article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the next Shareholders' Meeting will be called upon to resolve:

• in a binding manner on the remuneration policy described in the first section of the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid;

The Remuneration Policy and remuneration procedures are illustrated in the first section of the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid drafted pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF, which is made available to the public at the Company's registered offices, the eMarket Storage mechanism at the address www.emarkestorage.com, as well as on the Company's website (www.servizitaliagroup.com), to which reference should be made in full for any information not contained in this Report.

It should be noted that the Shareholders' Meeting did not approve share-based incentive plans for directors.

Indemnity for Directors in the event of resignation, dismissal or termination of mandate following a takeover bid (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter i), of the TUF)

Pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter i), of the TUF, it should be noted that at the date of approval of this Report there are no agreements in place between the Company and the current members of the Board of Directors that provide for the payment of indemnities in the event of resignation or dismissal/termination without just cause or if their relationship ends following a takeover bid.

It is also specified that during the Financial Year, not having met the conditions, the Company did not have to publish any press release following internal processes for the attribution or recognition of any indemnities

and/or other benefits for termination of office and/or dissolution of the relationship with an Executive Director or a General Manager.

8.2 Remuneration Committee

The Board of Directors established, on 20 April 2021, the Governance and Related-Party Committee, which is also responsible for remuneration matters. This, in consideration of the option contemplated by recommendation 16 of the Corporate Governance Code, to distribute differently or even merge into a single committee the investigative, propositional and advisory functions on appointments, remuneration and control and risks.

Composition and operation of the remuneration committee (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), of the TUF)

The competence in the matter of remuneration was attributed to the GC, in office for the entire duration of the mandate of the Board of Directors (i.e. until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements at 31 December 2023), made up of three Independent Directors: Anna Maria Fellegara (Chairwoman), Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo and Benedetta Pinna.

At least one member of the GC has knowledge and experience in financial matters or in relation to remuneration policies deemed adequate by the Board at the time of appointment.

No Director can take part in the meetings of the Committee in which proposals relating to their own remuneration are formulated.

The meetings of the GC were coordinated by the Chairwoman, the respective meetings were regularly minuted and the Chairwoman reported on the activities carried out to the first possible meeting of the Board of Directors. The meetings were attended, on individual items on the agenda, by directors or representatives of corporate functions who are not members, upon invitation by the Chairwoman of the committee itself and – in the case of the participation of representatives of the corporate functions competent for the matter – informing the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system.

within the scope of its responsibilities, drafting and submitting to the Board of Directors as well as monitoring the application of incentive systems for the management (including any remuneration plans based on financial instruments), understood as instruments aiming to attract and motivate resources of an adequate level and experience, developing a sense of belonging and ensuring a constant orientation towards the creation of value over time;
being able to provide support to the delegated body and the Manager of Human Resources with regard to the enhancement of managerial resources, recruitment of talents and the promotion of initiatives with universities in this field;
evaluating the criteria adopted for the remuneration of executives with strategic responsibilities and supervising their application on the basis of the information provided by the delegated body and Human Resources Manager;
performing the additional functions assigned to the same according to the remuneration policy in force from time to time and/or by the Board of Directors;

In relation to the Financial Year, the main activities carried out by the GC on the matter of remuneration were:

assessment of the adequacy, overall consistency and concrete application of the remuneration policy for directors and executives with strategic responsibilities;
examination of the Remuneration Report before its approval by the Board of Directors;
formulation of the proposal regarding the performance objectives related to the variable component of the remuneration of the Executive Directors who are beneficiaries of the plans.

9.0 INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – CONTROL AND RISK COMMITTEE

Foreword

The Board of Directors defined the guidelines of the internal control and risk management system, consisting of the set of rules, procedures and organisational structures aimed at an effective and efficient identification,

measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks, in order to contribute to the sustainable success of the Company.

The Company's internal control and risk management system aims to:

contribute to the management of the company consistent with the corporate strategies and objectives defined by the Board of Directors, promoting the making of informed decisions;
ensure the necessary separation between operational and control functions, and therefore be structured in such a way as to avoid or minimise situations of conflict of interest in the assignment of responsibilities;
facilitate the identification, measurement, management and adequate monitoring of the risks assumed by the Issuer and the Servizi Italia Group;
contribute to the sustainable success of the Company and the Servizi Italia Group, which consists in the creation of long-term value for the benefit of the Shareholders, taking into account the interests of the other stakeholders relevant to the Company and Servizi Italia Group;
establish control activities at each operational level and clearly identify tasks and responsibilities, in particular in the phases of supervision and intervention and correction of the irregularities found;
ensure reliable information systems and suitable reporting processes at the various levels to which control functions are assigned;
ensure that the anomalies and/or violations found – also through the internal reporting system by the staff (known as "whistleblowing system") – are promptly brought to the attention at adequate levels of the company;
allow the recording of every management event and, in particular, of every transaction with an adequate degree of detail, ensuring its correct attribution in terms of time.

Therefore, the Group has developed a model based on the integration of risk management and internal control systems and their adequacy.

The model adopted by the Company is aimed at ensuring the continuity of the organisation and the adequacy of its processes, activities and services in terms of:

1. Business Objectives:
2. achievement of the objectives set out in the definition of corporate strategies;
3. effective and efficient use of organisational resources.
1. Governance Objectives:
2. ensure consistency, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of financial reporting;
3. safeguarding the company's assets;
4. compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, ethical and company rules;
5. protection of ethical and social responsibilities;

The Company's internal control and risk management system is structured on three levels:

1. first level: the operating structures identify, evaluate, monitor, mitigate and report risks deriving from ordinary business activities, ensuring the correctness of operations in accordance with the limits and objectives assigned;
1. second level: the corporate functions involved in controls (such as the risk management, legal and compliance functions), organised in relation to the company's size, sector, complexity and risk profile, to which "second level" controls are assigned for monitoring and manage typical corporate risks (strategic, operative, financial,

market, liquidity, credit, non-compliance, fraud and disloyalty of staff, legal, reputational, etc.); these functions are subject to review by the Head of the Internal Audit department;

third level: Internal Auditing, which reports directly to the Board of Directors, assesses the suitability of the overall internal control and risk management system to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of processes, the safeguarding of company assets, the reliability and integrity of accounting and management information, compliance with internal and external regulations and management instructions.

In order to carry out its activities, the Internal Auditing department presents an activity plan to the Board of Directors, in which the planned auditing activities are represented in line with the risks associated with the activities aimed at achieving Company's objectives.

The results of the activities carried out, on a half-yearly basis, are brought to the attention of the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, the Governance and Related-Party Committee in function of the Control and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors; the critical elements observed during the assessment are, on the other hand, promptly reported to the competent company structures for the implementation of any improvement action needed.

Servizi Italia Group, aware of its mission and corporate policy, pursue the objective of promptly monitoring the risks identified in all activities, which is an essential condition to preserve the trust of stakeholders and to ensure the sustainability of the business over time, so contributing to the sustainable success of the Company and Servizi Italia Group.

The risk control process, common to all the control functions, in line with the best practices in question, in particular according to the principles of the new COSO-ERM (Committee of Sponsoring Organisation of the Treadway Commission) - (Enterprise Risk Management) framework, is divided into the following phases:

1. risk governance and culture;
1. strategy and definition of objectives for risk management;
1. risk analysis;
1. information, communication and reporting for risks;
1. monitoring the performance of the risk management model.

The Board of Directors, supported by the Governance and Related-Party Committee, in function of the Control and Risk Committee, through the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and the Head of Internal Audit, plans, organises and directs the execution of initiatives capable of ensuring the achievement of corporate objectives through the periodic review of its objectives, the modification of processes in relation to changes in the internal and external environment of the Company, the promotion and maintenance, within the Company, of a culture and climate favourably oriented towards Risk Management.

The different types of risk are defined in the Group's risks map, which is updated at least once a year. The risks map represents the Group's Risk Appetite Framework (hereinafter, in brief, also "RAF"), i.e., the key instrument with which the Board of Directors defines the propensity to risk, tolerance thresholds, sustainable risk limits, risk governance policies and the framework of related organisational processes.

Within the scope of the RAF and, therefore, the internal body of regulations on risk management, aspects linked to the management of social, environmental, economic and governance risks are also considered.

In order to minimise the various types of risk to which it is exposed, the Group has adopted control methods and time scales that allow Management to monitor risks and inform the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and (also through them) the Board of Directors accordingly. Without prejudice to the principle of continuous monitoring and taking into account the characteristics of the activities carried out by Group companies, the review of the risk analysis shows that, through the application of the planned organisational and management actions, the Company obtained the desired mitigation on the main risks

identified in the operational, financial, strategic and compliance areas, implementing and documenting the control points within company procedures.

With regard to its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has implemented the configuration dedicated to internal controls, both by drawing on internal resources and through external specialists/professionals, guaranteeing their professionalism and independence. This was done in order to increase third-level on-site supervision and monitoring, in relation to the risk issues already identified and monitored by the Parent Company.

Main features of the existing risk management and internal control systems in relation to the financial reporting process pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter b) of the TUF

The Group's Risk Management System must not be considered separately from the internal control system in relation to the financial reporting process, since both are elements of the same internal control and risk management system ("SCIGR"). The SCIGR consists of the set of rules, procedures and organisational structures aimed at guaranteeing the reliability, accuracy, trustworthiness and timeliness of financial information, formalised in the documented process called "Guidelines for the internal control and risk management system" (the "Guidelines").

In fact, the aforementioned Guidelines allow the Company and, in particular, its recipients (including managers and operators of company functions) to cooperate in a structured manner, through:

the identification of risks and vulnerabilities relevant to the company;
the identification of the control methods intended to mitigate or manage the risks previously identified;
the development of action plans to mitigate risks and reduce them to at least acceptable levels.

In relation to financial reporting, the Enterprise Risk Management process is closely linked to the strategic planning process, with the aim of associating the Group's overall risk profile with prospective profitability resulting from the planning/budget document. For this reason, the SCIGR has been set up in terms of the sizing of analysis, risk assessment, roles and responsibilities, with particular attention paid to the strategic planning process, budgeting, control and reporting processes and technical and accounting tools (multi-year plans, budgets, reporting, performance indicators, performance analysis: dimensions, critical success factors, KPIs).

The controls and rules aimed at identifying, selecting, measuring, managing and monitoring the main risks relevant to the organisation involve, with different roles and within their respective competences:

a) the Board of Directors, which plays a role in guiding and evaluating the adequacy of the System and identifies within it:

(i) a director responsible for setting up and maintaining the System;

(ii) a Governance and Related-Party Committee acting as the Control and Risk Committee;

b) Head of Internal Audit;

c) the other corporate roles and functions with specific tasks regarding internal control and risk management, articulated in relation to the size, complexity and risk profile of the company;

d) the Board of Statutory Auditors;

e) the Directors and Statutory Auditors of the Issuer's subsidiaries.

In particular, the Board of Directors, which plays a guiding and evaluating role with regard to the adequacy of the SCIGR, therefore:

a) identifies an internal Director responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System, as well as a Control and Risk Committee (i.e. the Governance Committee);

The Group has also identified a context perimeter, where the interactions that internal and external factors exert on the various stakeholders and on the sensitive corporate processes involved are identified, from which the potential risks were identified, divided into risk classes, which could arise within one or more specific processes, in the event of failure to meet the needs/expectations of the various stakeholders.

Once the risk classes related to the nature of the Group's objectives and the responses to risk have been identified, management identifies the control activities necessary to ensure that they are implemented promptly and appropriately. All control activities have been implemented:

at a process level, with the aim of monitoring the performance of operational activities, identifying, assessing and preventing any risks by constantly measuring the effectiveness of the internal control system adopted;
at a general level, mainly with reference to information technology and its correct application in the management, technical-accounting and organisational fields, in compliance with the rules and control structures identified for the activities for which it is responsible.

The Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, and the Financial Reporting Manager are the main guarantors of this model.

As part of its risk management activities, during the meetings held to approve the periodic and additional financial reports, the Board of Directors verifies the Group's exposure to the risk factors characterising the business, which are illustrated and further detailed in the Report on Operations for the Financial Year and in the specific notes to the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In compliance with the best practices of listed companies, the Company has established coordination methods among the various bodies involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System, in order to maximise efficiency, reduce duplication and ensure effective performance of the duties of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

In particular, meetings are periodically held jointly among the various bodies responsible for internal control and risk management in order to identify, on the basis of the business processes identified in the audit plan prepared by the Head of Internal Audit, those areas of intervention and analysis specific to each body, and to identify, for each of them and taking into account their respective responsibilities, different viewpoints for examining the same issues, in order to avoid overlapping functions and/or duplication of activities, while implementing a unitary compliance system within the Company and the Group.

10.0 INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND OPERATIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

On 25 June 2021, the Board of Directors approved an updated version of the Regulations for transactions with related parties, subject to the favourable opinion of the Governance Committee operating as the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties, which can be consulted on the Company's website, in the Corporate Governance/Documentation section. This regulation, updated in the light of the amendments to the Consob RPT Regulation (amended by Consob Resolution No. 21624 of 10 December 2020), is aimed at ensuring effective transparency and compliance with the criteria of substantial and procedural fairness in the execution of transactions with related parties, in compliance with the provisions of current legislation and, in particular, the Related-Party Regulations.

Pursuant to the RPT Regulation, it is envisaged that, if the transactions with related parties involve Directors who have an interest, on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, in conflict with that of the Company, these Directors must refrain from deciding on such transactions. Furthermore, if transactions with related parties involve the interests of one of the Company's CEOs, the CEO placed in the situation referred to in Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code may not adopt decisions approving the transaction, even if the latter falls within the CEO's delegated powers, and as soon as they is informed they must inform the Board of Directors, in the person of its Chairman, of both the transaction and their interest in it as soon as possible. Each director is required to provide similar information when a transaction, for whatever reason, is subject to a resolution by a collective management body of which they is a member or to a resolution of the Board.

In the latter case, the Director who has an interest of their own involved in a related-party transaction must notify the collective governing body, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, specifying its nature, terms, origin and scope. If the transaction falls within the competence of the collective governing body, the Directors involved in the transaction abstain from voting on it; they contribute to reaching the constitutive quorum, but are excluded from the quorum required for the adoption of the resolution. In any case, the provisions of Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code shall apply.

Furthermore, it is to be noted that in the Reference Financial Year, the competence for transactions with related parties was attributed, as required by Article 8 of the RPT Regulation, to the Governance and Related-Party Committee, in office until the approval of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2023, made up of three independent directors: Anna Maria Fellegara (Chairwoman), Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo and Benedetta Pinna. With regard to related parties, the GC carries out the tasks, which, in accordance with the regulations in force from time to time, are attributed to it pursuant to the Regulations for transactions with related parties adopted by the Company in relation to both transactions of lesser importance, and – given the qualification of "smaller company" of Servizi Italia and as long as the Company qualifies as such – to transactions of greater importance with related parties.

The meetings of the GC were coordinated by the respective Chairwoman, the respective meetings were regularly minuted and the respective Chairwoman reported on it to the first possible meeting of the Board of Directors.

All members of the Board of Statutory Auditors attended the meetings of the GC, except in cases of justified absence.

During the Reference Financial Year, with regard to related parties, the Governance and Related-Party Committee has:

acknowledged the disclosure on the exempt Transactions of greater significance referring to the period 27 October 2022 – 30 October 2023 drawn up by the Executive Committee and the General Manager of the Company, with the support of the competent corporate functions;
expressed a favourable opinion on a transaction of lesser significance with related parties.

11.0 BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

11.1 Appointment and replacement

The Board of Statutory Auditors is made up of three Standing Auditors and two Alternate Auditors, and is appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, which determines their annual remuneration for the entire duration of their term of office. Statutory Auditors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their duties and may be re-elected. At least one Standing Auditor and one Alternate Auditor must belong to the least represented gender on the Board of Statutory Auditors; in any case, the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must ensure gender balance in accordance with laws, including regulations, in force from time to time.

On this point, it should be noted that Italian Law No. 160 of 27 December 2019 ("Budget Law 2020") amended the criteria relating to the gender balance in administrative and control bodies of listed companies (introduced by Italian Law No. 120 of 12 July 2011), providing that the quota to be reserved for the less represented gender within the Board ofDirectors and the Board of Statutory Auditors is equal to "at least two-fifths" and establishing that this criterion shall apply for six consecutive terms "starting from the first renewal of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors of companies listed on regulated markets following the date of entry into force of this law", which occurred on 1 January 2020.

Consob, in its Communication No. 1/20 of 30 January 2020, also clarified that, in the event that corporate bodies are made up of three members (as is typically the case for supervisory bodies), since it is in fact impossible, from an arithmetic point of view, to ensure the presence of at least two fifths of both genders in these bodies, the criterion of rounding up to the higher unit is inapplicable. Consequently, the provision set out in Article 144 undecies.1, paragraph 3, of the Issuers' Regulations was integrated by providing that, for corporate bodies made up of three members, the criterion of rounding down to the nearest whole number (i.e. one member out of three) is applied.

Without prejudice to situations of incompatibility envisaged by current legislation, those who already hold the office of member of the Board of Statutory Auditors in five issuing companies in accordance with current legislative and regulatory provisions, except for different limits established by current legislation, may not take the office of auditor and, if elected, shall forfeit their office.

Attributes, duties and duration are those established by law. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are chosen from among those who meet the requirements of integrity, professionalism and independence required by law and regulatory provisions. In particular, for the purposes of the provisions of Article 1, paragraph 2, letters b) and c) of Italian Decree No. 162 of the Ministry of Justice of 30 March 2000, the matters and sectors closely related to the Company's activities are considered to be those listed in Article 2 of the Articles of Association. If the requirements are not met, the office is forfeited.

Statutory Auditors are appointed on the basis of lists presented by the shareholders according to the procedures described below and, in any case, in compliance with regulations in force on a case by case basis. The candidates on each list are listed by a sequential number. The lists are made up of two sections: one for candidates for the office of standing auditor, the other for candidates for the office of alternate auditor. Each section containing at least three candidates must contain at least one male candidate and one female candidate; and in any case, it must be composed in such a way that the gender balance within the Board of Statutory Auditors is ensured in accordance with the legislation, including regulations, in force from time to time; candidates must be included in the list alternately by gender (one male, one female or vice versa, and so on).

Only shareholders who, alone or together with others, represent at least 2.5% (two point five per cent) of the Company's share capital or a different measure established by Consob(2) in implementation of current provisions, are entitled to submit lists.

Each shareholder, shareholders who are parties to the same shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, subsidiaries and those subject to joint control pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, even if they act through

Servizi Italia S.p.A. – Report on corporate governance and ownership structure – Financial year 2023 56

⁽²⁾ Amount determined by Consob with Executive Decision No. 92 published on 31 January 2024: 2.5%.

a third party or trust company, may submit, or take part in submitting, and vote for, only one list. No list may be used to approve or vote in favour of any candidate in violation of this prohibition. Each candidate may appear on only one list under penalty of ineligibility.

Without prejudice to the application of a different legal disposition, the lists presented must be deposited at the Company's registered offices, including by means of remote communication that allows the identification of those presenting the list, no later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the date set for the first call of the Shareholders' Meeting, and made available to the public at the Company's registered offices, on the website and in other ways provided for by Consob regulations at least twenty-one days prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting.

Together with each list, the following must be deposited at the Company's registered offices within the terms indicated above:

a copy of the certificates issued in accordance with the law by the authorised intermediaries;
CV concerning personal and professional skills of each candidate, indicating administrative and control positions held in other companies;
statements in which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their own responsibility, that there are no grounds for ineligibility or incompatibility, including with reference to the number of offices referred to in the second paragraph of this article, and that they meet the regulatory and statutory requirements for the respective offices.

In addition to the above, if a list is presented by shareholders other than those who hold, even jointly, a controlling interest or a relative majority in the Company's share capital, the list must be accompanied by a declaration from the shareholders presenting it, attesting to the absence of any relationship with one or more reference shareholders, as defined by current legislation. The call notification must specify the shareholding for the presentation of the lists and may provide for the deposit of any further documentation.

A list for which the above provisions are not observed shall be considered as not having been submitted.

The election of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors will be carried out as follows:

two standing auditors and one alternate auditor are taken from the list that obtained the highest number of votes from shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting, on the basis of the progressive order in which they are listed in the sections of the list;
from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes from shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting and that is not connected, even indirectly, in accordance with the provisions of current legislation and regulations, with the shareholders who submitted or voted for the list that received the highest number of votes, the remaining standing member, who shall chair the Board of Statutory Auditors, and the other alternate member shall be drawn, on the basis of the progressive order in which they are listed in the sections of the list.

If the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors is not ensured by the methods indicated above, in compliance with gender balance stated by Article 20.1 of the Articles of Association, the necessary replacements of candidates on the list that obtained the highest number of votes, according to the progressive order in which the candidates are listed. If this procedure does not allow compliance with the regulations in force from time to time on the subject of gender balance within the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Shareholders' Meeting shall provide for the necessary replacements by a resolution adopted with the majority required by law.

In the event of a tie, the Shareholders' Meeting shall proceed to a new vote, putting to the vote only the first two lists. The same rule shall apply in the event of a tie between the lists that are second in number of votes and that are not connected, even indirectly, in accordance with the provisions of current legislation and regulations, with the shareholders who have submitted, contributed to the submission of, or voted for the list that was first in

number. In the event of further parity between lists, the list presented by the shareholders with the largest shareholding or, alternatively, the list presented by the largest number of shareholders shall prevail.

In the event of the termination of a Standing Auditor, the Alternate Auditor belonging to the same list as the terminated Auditor takes over. This replacement will take place by ensuring, where possible, the presence among the standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of an auditor belonging to the least represented gender, in compliance with the provisions of Article 20.1 of the Articles of Association. If this is not possible, the Shareholders' Meeting must be convened promptly to ensure compliance with this composition criterion.

The Shareholders' Meeting, called upon to reinstate the Board of Statutory Auditors, will take steps in accordance with the law, in compliance with the principle of necessary representation of minority shareholders and the gender balance provided for in Article 20.1 of the Articles of Association.

If the statutory and regulatory requirements are no longer met, the Auditor's term of office shall expire.

If only one list is submitted or if no list is submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the majorities required by law and in compliance with gender balance criterion stated by Article 20.1 of the Articles of Association.

Further information on Statutory Auditors' résumés at the Reference date is provided in the annex to this Report.

Diversity criteria and policies

As implementation of the provisions of Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d-bis) of the TUF, the Board of Statutory Auditors adopted its own diversity policy in relation to the composition of the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors ("Policy") and it is responsible for the monitoring the results of its implementation, as well as for updating it.

The composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must comply with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, as well as the requirements indicated by the Company's Articles of Association and by the principles of the Corporate Governance Code to which the Company adheres. In addition, the Board of Statutory Auditors hopes that its members will possess the characteristics described in the Policy, so that the supervisory body can exercise its supervisory duties in the most effective manner, making decisions that can concretely make use of the contribution of a plurality of qualified points of view.

The Policy intends exclusively to guide the candidacies formulated by the Shareholders during the renewal of the entire Board of Statutory Auditors, or to integrate the related composition, ensuring adequate consideration of the benefits that can derive from a harmonious composition of the Board itself, aligned with the criteria of diversity described in the Policy.

Specifically, the Board of Statutory Auditors of Servizi Italia believes that, in addition to integrity, professionalism and independence required by law and recommended by the principles deriving from corporate governance, an optimal composition must satisfy the following requirements:

(i) the Statutory Auditors should be by majority auditors registered in the specific register;
(ii) the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must in any case ensure gender balance in accordance with the provisions of the law and the Articles of Association in force from time to time, in compliance with the gender diversity criterion set out in recommendation 8 of the Corporate Governance Code;
(iii) a balanced combination of different seniority would be desirable to achieve a balance between continuity and renewal requirements in the exercise of supervisory functions as well as even a balanced one combination of different age groups to allow a balanced plurality of prospects and experiences;
(iv) the Statutory Auditors should possess managerial and/or professional and/or academic and/or institutional profiles such as to create a set of competences and experiences that are different and complementary to each other, so as to facilitate an optimal performance of the supervisory functions required to the Board of Statutory Auditors. In particular:
- a. professional profiles should include the acquisition of skills and experience in positions of responsibility in accredited professional or consultancies firms and having worked in the fields of economics, accounting, law, finance and risk management;
- b. academic and/or institutional profiles should possess competences and experiences that, due to their characteristics, can allow an optimal fulfilment of the supervisory functions delegated to the Board of Statutory Auditors;
(v) the international projection of the Group's activities should be taken into consideration, ensuring the presence of at least one Standing Auditor who has acquired adequate experience in the international context. This experience must be assessed on the basis of managerial, professional, academic or institutional activity carried out internationally;
(iv) the Statutory Auditors must, as a whole, be competent in the sectors in which Servizi Italia Group operates and indicated in the Articles of Association. To this end, if the Statutory Auditors do not have specific competence in these sectors, it is hoped that they could participate in an adequate induction programme organised by the Company;
(vii) the Chairperson should be a person with authority to ensure adequate coordination of the work of the Board of Statutory Auditors with the activities carried out by the other parties involved in various ways in the governance of the Internal Control and Risk Management system, in order to maximise its efficiency and reduce duplication of activity. Furthermore, the Chairman has the task of creating a spirit of cohesion within the Board of Statutory Auditors to ensure the effective fulfilment of the supervisory functions delegated to this body, representing at the same time, like the other Statutory Auditors, a guarantee figure for all shareholders and stakeholders.

In order for the Servizi Italia Board of Statutory Auditors to carry out its duties in the most effective manner, in addition to the requirements in terms of the diversity indicated above, it is considered essential that all the Statutory Auditors guarantee sufficient time for the diligent performance of their duties, taking into account both the number and quality of the positions held in the administrative and control bodies of other companies (in compliance with the law), and the commitment required of them by the additional work and professional activities carried out.

It is also recalled that the Shareholders' Meeting on 30 May 2019 resolved to adopt the gender diversity criterion through a specific amendment to Article 20 of the Articles of Association establishing the rule (general and no

longer limited to the first three mandates subsequent to 12 August 2012) according to which "at least one standing auditor and one alternate auditor must belong to the gender less represented in the Board of Statutory Auditors".

On 5 March 2020, the Board of Directors resolved to amend Article 20 of the Articles of Association according the aforementioned regulations recently introduced by Article 1, paragraphs 302-304 of the Budget Law 2020, also taking into account the clarifications offered by Consob in Communication No. 1/20 of 30 January 2020 and following amendment of Article 144-undecies.1 paragraph 3 of the Issuers' Regulation (which confirmed that the criterion of rounding up to the next higher unit applies only to corporate bodies consisting of more than three members, while rounding down is applied to bodies consisting of three members), introducing the general principle that the composition of the Supervisory Body "must in any case ensure gender balance in accordance with the legislation, including regulations, from time to time in force", thus adopting a flexible criterion that makes the Articles of Association flexible and adequate even in the event of further subsequent amendments to the legislation on gender balance. It should be noted that the regulatory changes do not have a significant impact on the rules of composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, it being confirmed that at least one Standing Auditor (out of three) and one Alternate Auditor (out of two) must belong to the least represented gender within the body.

* * *

Independence

At the first opportunity after the appointment of each member, also according to the provision of Article 2, Recommendations 9 and 10 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors has verified that the independence requirements of its members were met, and communicated the outcome of these checks to the Board of Directors, which disclose this information to the market by means of a press release. The criteria of independence taken into consideration are all those established by current legislation, in particular Article 148 of the TUF, together with those stated in Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code.

At the beginning of its mandate, the Board of Directors has predefined the quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the significance of the relevant circumstances pursuant to the Code for the purposes of assessing the independence of the directors, also applied to the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors in compliance with the provisions of Recommendation 9 of the Corporate Governance Code.

During the Reference Financial Year, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified the continued existence of the independence requirements, as indicated in the Code, of its members, having considered the information made available by its members and forwarded the results of these checks to the Board of Directors; in carrying out these assessments, it also applied all the criteria set out in the Corporate Governance Code with reference to the independence of directors.

Remuneration

The remuneration of Statutory Auditors is appropriate to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the importance of the role covered and the Company's size and sector specifications as well as its situation. For further information, please refer to the Remuneration Report available on the Company's website at www.servizitaliagroup.com.

Interest management

In compliance with recommendation 37 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Company requires that any Statutory Auditor who, on their own part or on that of third parties, has an interest in a specific transaction must promptly and thoroughly inform the other Statutory Auditors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the nature, terms, origins and range of their interests.

12 RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Access to information – Dialogue with shareholders

From the moment of the listing of its shares, the Company deemed it in its specific interest, and its duty towards the market, to establish a continuous dialogue with its shareholders, in full compliance with current legislation.

As part of the process of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code and in accordance with Principle IV and Recommendation No. 3 thereof, on 19 January 2021, the Board of Directors adopted a Policy for the management of dialogue with shareholders (the "Policy"), formulated by the Investor Relations Manager, in consultation with the Chairman. The Policy governs the methods of engagement and communication with all Company's current and potential shareholders in order, inter alia, to enhance the exchange of information and improve the level of mutual understanding between Company and investors, in compliance in any case with the provisions contained in EU Regulation No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 and the related implementing provisions on the management and public disclosure of "inside information" and the provisions of the "Procedure for the internal management and external disclosure of documents and information concerning Servizi Italia S.p.A." adopted by the Company.

The Policy – aimed at fostering the stability of Shareholders' investments and sustainable success of the Company, providing the Shareholders with a better understanding of Company's objectives and requests to the Shareholders, promoting a communication that helps to align their interests with those of the Company and the Group – is published on the Company's website www.servizitaliagroup.com.

In order to better implement its relations with the market, the Company has set up specific sections that are easily identifiable, accessible and continually updated in its website, where news of importance to shareholders are provided, thereby enabling shareholders to consciously exercise their rights.

At the date of this report, the Company identified Pietro Giliotti (Manager responsible for Consolidated Financial Statements) as the person specifically responsible to manage shareholder relations (Investor Relations Manager), who, in collaboration with the delegated body, the General Manager, the CFO and other members of the Investor Relations Team, coordinates and promotes investor relations activities, as well as meetings and contacts with shareholders and/or investors.

Servizi Italia S.p.A. appointed as Specialist Intermonte SIM S.p.A., an entity authorised to carry out the activity in question, not being a part of the same group to which Servizi Italia S.p.A. belongs, or headed by Servizi Italia S.p.A.

In disclosing financial data or fielding requests for clarification of published data or the business model, the Company and Midcap Partners, during the Reference Financial Year, organised special meetings, events and conference calls with institutional investors and financial analysts.

During the Financial Year, the Investor Relations Team held several individual and group meetings (via conference call) with analysts and investors.

At the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2023, the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three year period 2023-2025 was resolved and the Directors' Explanatory Report on the items on the agenda reported the criteria envisaged by the current diversity policy adopted by the Board of Statutory Auditors, in addition to those relating to integrity, professionalism and independence required by law and recommended by the Corporate Governance Code.

Through the Chairman, the Board reported in relation to the activities carried out and those planned and endeavoured to ensure that shareholders are provided with adequate information on the elements necessary for them to be able to take informed decisions within the competence of the shareholders' meeting.

The Company makes available in advance on its website, in specific sections and within the terms provided for by its Articles of Association and by current legislation, the documentation necessary for the shareholders concerned to be adequately informed of the items on the agenda and, therefore, to be able to make the required decisions at the Shareholders' Meeting.

Shareholders are also regularly informed about the functions exercising by the committees both through this Report and through the information contained in the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid, prepared pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF.

The Company's Board of Directors has not deemed appropriate to adopt Regulations governing the conduct of Shareholders' Meetings, in view of the characteristics of the Company and its shareholders.

As the Reference date, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting has been called for 22 April 2024 (first call) and 23 April 2024 (second call).

14 FURTHER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES (pursuant to Article 123-bis, par. 2, letter a), of the TUF)

The Board of Directors of the Company, by resolution of 28 January 2016, set up, on a voluntary basis, a specific whistleblowing system, in order to implement the Company's Internal Control and Risk Management System by providing it with a specific and confidential information channel, also able to guarantee the anonymity of the reporting party. Following the amendments made to Article 6 of Legislative Decree No. 231/01, the Company deemed it appropriate to integrate the whistleblowing procedure, previously adopted on a voluntary basis, within the Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01, identifying the Supervisory Body as the body responsible for receiving and managing reports. Subsequently, on 30 July 2020, the Company updated the whistleblowing procedure, with the aim of defining a system allowing the reporting, by employees, members of corporate bodies and third parties, of unlawful phenomena and suspicious conduct, irregularities in the management of the company, attempted, presumed and actual acts of corruption, as well as any violation or deficiency concerning the management system for the prevention of corruption, acts or facts that may constitute a violation of the rules, internal and external, governing the activities of Servizi Italia S.p.A., the principles and rules of conduct contained in the Code of Ethics, as well as the provisions contained in the Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01, in the Antitrust Code of Conduct and in the General Data Protection Regulation. On 23 May 2023, the Company again updated the Organisational, Management and Control Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01 following the introduction of new predicate offences, in consideration of the implementation of new corporate procedures, the medium-term changes in the Company's organisational structure and the consequent need to

update the mapping of existing risks and controls. Finally, on 11 July 2023, following the entry into force, as of 30 March 2023, of Italian Legislative Decree no. 24/2023, which transposed into Italian law Directive (EU) 2019/1937, concerning the protection of persons who report breaches of national or European Union regulations (the so-called "whistleblowing directive"), the Company, after discussions with the Supervisory Board and the trade union representatives with the highest level of representation at national level, has updated its whistleblowing procedure within the terms provided for by the regulations in force, providing, inter alia, for the implementation of an IT platform for the management of whistleblowing reports, capable of guaranteeing the confidentiality of the report and compliance with the privacy provisions in force. The Company has also decided to maintain the Supervisory Body as the party responsible for receiving and managing reports pursuant to the Procedure.

15 CHANGES FROM THE CLOSING OF THE PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR

There have been no changes in the corporate governance structure from the closing of the 2023 financial year to the Reference date.

16 CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LETTER FROM THE CHAIRWOMAN OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The Company has received the recommendations contained in the letter of 14 December 2023 from the Chairwoman of the Corporate Governance Committee, which were brought to the attention of the Governance Committee and the Board of Directors at their meetings held on 11 March 2024 and 14 March 2024, respectively, and also submitted to the Board of Statutory Auditors, to the extent of their area of competence.

In this regard it should be noted that:

with reference to the involvement of the Board of Directors in the review and approval of the business plan and in the analysis of issues relevant to the creation of long-term value, the Company's Board of Directors has reviewed and approved the business plan of the Company and the Servizi Italia Group, also on the basis of the analysis of the relevant issues for the generation of long-term value, periodically monitoring its implementation and evaluating the general performance of operations, taking into consideration the information received from the delegated bodies and periodically comparing the results achieved with those planned, especially on the occasion of the approval of the economic and financial data for the period;
with regard to the issue of pre-meeting disclosure, the necessary support documentation was made available in compliance with the deadlines provided for by the regulations of the corporate bodies, which were also considered congruous in the context of the Board assessment process, through a special portal, and there were no exceptional events whose pre-meeting disclosure required the imposition of confidentiality limits;
with reference to the guidelines on the optimal composition of the Board of Directors, the Governance Committee in the capacity of Appointments Committee supports the Board of Directors in the preparation thereof. In particular, at the time of renewal of the Board of Directors, and this was also the case at the time of the Shareholders' Meeting held in 2021, the Board, with the support of the Governance Committee, has approved the guidelines on the optimal composition of the Board in view of the next Shareholders' Meeting;
with regard to the issue of increased voting rights, the Board of Directors is not going to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting the introduction of increased voting rights.
