Drawn up in accordance with article 125-ter and article 114-bis of Legislative decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the Consolidated Finance Act, "CFA") and article 84-ter of the regulation adopted by Consob (the Italian commission for listed companies and the stock exchange) with resolution no. 11971/99 (the "Issuers' Regulation"), as subsequently amended and integrated, for the ordinary shareholders' meeting of Carel Industries S.p.A. ("Carel" or the "company") scheduled on single call for 18 April 2024.

Illustrative report of the board of directors of Carel Industries S.p.A., drawn up under article 125ter and article 114bis of Legislative decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended and integrated ("CFA"), and article 84ter of the Regulation adopted by Consob with Resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as subsequently amended and integrated (the "Issuers' Regulation")
This report describes the proposal the board of directors of Carel Industries S.p.A. ("Carel" or the "company") intends submitting for your approval as regards item 5 on the agenda of the ordinary shareholders' meeting that will be held on single call on 18 April 2024, at 10.00 am, at the company's registered office in Brugine (PD), Via dell'Industria 11.
Dear shareholders,
With regard to the fifth item on the agenda, the board of directors intends to ask you to approve a share-based incentive plan involving the free allocation of ordinary Carel shares (the "shares"), the 2024-2028 share-based performance plan (the "plan"), to beneficiaries who play a key role in achieving the Carel Group's objectives and who will be identified, including on more than one occasion, by the board of directors as proposed by the chief executive officer and after consulting the remuneration committee. They may include the executive directors, key management personnel and the employees of the company and its subsidiaries depending on the strategic importance of their positions (the "beneficiaries").
The plan is, therefore, "of particular significance" as per article 84bis.2 of the Issuers' Regulation. The proposal considers that the plan is long-term and is split into 3 (three) three-year rolling cycles (the "vesting periods"), after which the shares will be assigned free of charge once the board of directors has checked that the following conditions have been met: (i) at the assignment date, the individual beneficiary has an ongoing employment and/or management relationship with Carel or one of its subsidiaries and that their qualification as beneficiary of the company, one of its relevant subsidiaries or the group is still valid; (ii) the set performance objectives have been met, calculated using the following indicators: a) consolidated cumulated adjusted EBITDA for each

vesting period, (weight 50% (fifty percent)); b) cash conversion (average value for each vesting period) (weight 30% (thirty percent); c) ESG target, average achievement of a number of sustainability indicators (weight 20% (twenty percent)), as defined in the plan regulation, although the board of directors may identify other and/or additional performance objectives, which do not have to be pegged to financial indicators, and the related percentage weights for the 2025– 2027 and 2026-2028 vesting periods after consulting the remuneration committee.
Without prejudice to the definitions included in this report, the capitalised terms used in the Prospectus prepared in accordance with article 114bis of the CFA and article 84 bis of the Issuer Regulation (the "Information Memorandum") have the same significance herein.
More comprehensive information on this item is available in the Information Memorandum on the 2024-2028 share-based performance plan and the additional documentation that will be made available to the public, using the methods and within the timeframes prescribed by law, at the company's registered office and at Borsa Italiana S.p.A., as well as on the company's website (www.carel.com) and through the other methods stipulated by Consob in its regulations.
Based on the above, we set out below the proposed resolution for the approval of a share-based performance plan as per article 114bisof the CFA.
***
With respect to the approval of the 2024-2028 share-based performance plan, we ask you to pass the following resolution if you agree with the proposal:
"At their ordinary meeting, the shareholders of Carel Industries S.p.A.:

necessary and appropriate to manage and/or implement the plan, including providing information to the market in accordance with the applicable legislative and regulatory rules, and to execute this resolution".
