NEW PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

Arco (TN), April 8, 2024 – Aquafil S.p.A. [ECNL IM], with the aim of ensuring the utmost information transparency to its shareholders and the market and of enabling shareholders to cast an informed and reasoned vote, announces that it has received from the shareholder Aquafin Holding S.p.A. a communication stating that the said shareholder will submit to the Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2024, pursuant to Article 126-bis, paragraph 1, of TUF, second to last period, a different proposed resolution on the only one item on the Agenda of the Extraordinary Session; this proposal, in the Company's appreciation, is intended to give express statutory significance to the requirement – certainly already made its own and shared by the Board of Directors – that Shareholders' Meetings to be held exclusively by means of telecommunication comply from time to time with applicable regulations.

This proposal will merely integrate the one contained in the Illustrative Report of the Board of Directors Pursuant to Article 72 of the Issuers' Regulations concerning "Proposal to amend Articles 9.3, 9.4, 10.5, 10.6, 13.3, 13.4 and 18.2 of the Articles of Association," by introducing the following wording in the last sentence of the proposal to amend Article 9.3 of the By-laws: "in the manner and within the limits set forth by the laws and regulations in force".

Accordingly, the resolution proposal will be as follows: Article 9.3 – Attendees at General Shareholders' Meetings may be situated at various adjacent or remote locations by means of telecommunications, provided that not only debate, deliberations and decision-making proceed within a panel setting, and the principles of good faith and equal treatment of shareholders are respected, but also, and more specifically, that: (a) the Chairperson of the General Shareholders' Meeting is in a position not only to verify the identity, attendance and entitlement of each attendee, but also to regulate the proceedings, and determine and proclaim the results of voting; (b) the person recording the minutes of the General Shareholders' Meeting is in a position to properly perceive the proceedings to be recorded in minutes; (c) attendees are in a position to participate in discussions and vote on the items on the agenda in real time; (d) any and all related procedures are specified in the notice of calling. The General Shareholders' Meeting shall be deemed to take place at the venue where the person tasked with recording the minutes is present in person. The notice of calling may provide for the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held exclusively by means of telecommunications, omitting the indication of the physical venue where the meeting is conducted, in the manner and within the limits set forth by the laws and regulations in force."

Accordingly, in order to allow to vote on this proposal through the Designated Representative, the Company publish a new proxy form, including the new proposal, on its website.

Aquafil is a pioneer in the circular economy also thanks to the ECONYL® regeneration system, an innovative and sustainable process able to create new products from waste and give life to an endless cycle. The nylon waste is collected in locations all over the world and includes industrial waste but also products – such as fishing nets and rugs – that have reached the end of their useful life. Such waste is processed to obtain a raw material – caprolactam – with the same chemical and performance characteristics as those from fossil sources. The polymers produced from ECONYL® caprolactam are distributed to the Group's production plants, where they are transformed into yarn for rugs carpet flooring and for clothing.

Founded in 1965, Aquafil is one of the main producers of nylon in Italy and worldwide. The Group is present on three different continents, employing about 2,650 people at 19 production sites located in Italy, Slovenia, Unites States, China, Croatia, Chile, Thailand and Japan.
