Pre-Annual General Meeting Information • Mar 29, 2023

Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 Explanatory Report by the Board of Directors

Item 1 on the agenda

Presentation of the 2022 Annual Report

The publication of the Annual Report of the Sabaf Group, now in its eighteenth edition, confirms the Group's commitment, undertaken since 2005, to an integrated reporting of its economic, social, and environmental performance.

Sabaf, one of the first international-level companies to embrace the trend of integrated reporting, intends to continue along this path, aware that integrated, complete and transparent reporting can benefit both the companies themselves, through a better understanding of the structure of the strategy and greater internal cohesion, and the community of investors, which can thus more clearly understand the connection between strategy, governance and company performance.

The Annual Report provides an overview of the Group's business model and the process of creating corporate value. The business model and the main results achieved (summary of key performance indicators) are in fact presented from the standpoint of the capital employed (financial; social and relational; human; intellectual, infrastructural, and natural) to create value over time, thereby generating results for the business, with positive impacts on the community and on stakeholders as a whole. "Nonfinancial indicators" include the results achieved in managing and enhancing intangible capital, the main driver that allows monitoring the ability of the company's strategy to create value in a perspective of medium/long-term sustainability.

On 30 December 2016, Legislative Decree no. 254 came into force, which, in implementation of Directive 2014/95/EU on Non-financial and diversity information, requires relevant public interest entities to disclose non-financial and diversity information starting from the 2017 financial statements. As a relevant public-interest entity, Sabaf prepared for the fifth year the Consolidated disclosure of non-financial information presenting the main policies practiced by the company, the management models, the risks, the activities carried out by the Group during 2022, and the related performance indicators as pertains to the topics expressly referred to by Legislative Decree no. 254/2016 (environmental, social, personnelrelated, respect for human rights, fight against corruption) and to the extent needed to ensure understanding of the business activity, its trend, its results, and the impacts it produces.

On this item on the agenda, the shareholders and those holding voting rights are not asked to cast a vote.

Item 4 on the agenda

Authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares subject to revocation of the resolution of 28 April 2022 for the non-executed part; Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

On the occasion of this ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, we deem it appropriate to submit to your attention the proposal of authorisation for the purchase and disposal, by the Company, of treasury shares, under the terms and following the procedures indicated hereunder.

A. Reasons why the authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares is requested

The reasons leading the Board of Directors to submit to the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting its request for authorisation to carry out operations of purchase of treasury shares and disposal thereof are set out hereunder:

• I use, in line with the Company's strategic lines, the treasury shares as part of operations related to industrial projects and agreements with strategic partners, or as part of investment operations, also through exchange, conferral, transfer, or other acts of disposal of the treasury shares for the acquisition of stakes or shareholding packages, or other operations of extraordinary finance that involve assigning or disposing of treasury shares;
• II disposing of treasury shares to be used for equity-based incentive plans, reserved for directors and/or employees of the Company or of subsidiary companies and, in particular, the stock grant plan approved by the Shareholders' meeting of 6 May 2021;
• III offer shareholders an additional instrument to monetise their investment;
• IV carry out activities in support of market liquidity.

B. Maximum number, category and nominal value of shares to which the authorisation refers

As of the date hereof, the Company's share capital equals €11,533,450.00, and is represented by 11,533,450 ordinary shares of a nominal value of €1.00 each.

The maximum number of treasury shares for which the purchase is proposed, within the limits of the profits that can be distributed and the available reserves based on the latest, duly approved financial statements, is 1,153,345, which is to say the different number that represents, from time to time, the maximum limit of 10% of the share capital, in the event of a resolution to increase and/or reduce the share capital during the authorisation period as per point D below.

The request for authorisation regards the power of the Board of Directors to carry out repeated and successive operations of purchase and sale, or of other acts of disposal (including assignment, free of charge, at the service of the stock incentive plan) of treasury shares on a revolving basis, also for fractions of the maximum authorised amount, in such an amount that the treasury shares held by the Company might not at any rate exceed the maximum limit established by law.

C. Additional information of use for assessing compliance with the provision established by Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code

For the purposes of assessing compliance with the limits pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code, it is pointed out that the Company's capital equals €11,533,450.00 and is represented by 11,533,450 ordinary shares of a nominal value of €1.00 each. It is pointed out that at the date hereof, the Company holds 239,763 treasury shares in its portfolio, equal to 2.079% of the share capital.

It is to be borne in mind that, pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code, the purchase of treasury shares is permitted within the limits of the profits that can be distributed and of the available reserves resulting from the latest, duly approved financial statements.

The Company's financial statements at 31 December 2021, duly approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2022, shows that the Company has available reserves totalling € 89,421,549, as follows: - share premium reserve of €10,001,935;

• revaluation reserve, Law no. 413/91 of €42,207;

• revaluation reserve, Law no. 342/00 of €1,591,967;

• revaluation reserve, Law no. 104/2020 of €4,727,313;

• available retained earnings of €73,058,127.

Moreover, the draft of the Company's financial statements at 31 December 2022, approved by the Board of Directors on 21 March 2023 and to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2023, in a single call, shows that the Company has available reserves totalling €93,410,219, as follows:

• share premium reserve of €10,001,935;
• revaluation reserve, Law no. 413/91 of €42,207;
• revaluation reserve, Law no. 342/00 of €1,591,967;

• revaluation reserve, Law no. 104/2020 of €4,727,313;

• available retained earnings of €77,046,797.

It is specified that the Board is bound to verify compliance with the conditions required by Article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code for the purchase of treasury shares at the moment in which it completes any authorised purchase.

On the occasion of the purchase of shares or their disposal, exchange, conferral, or write-down, the appropriate accounting entries must be done in compliance with the provisions of law and with the applicable accounting standards.

The subsidiaries and their respective board of directors will be given suitable provisions so that they may promptly signal any acquisition of shares done pursuant to Article 2359-bis of the Italian Civil Code..

Pursuant to Article 44-bis of the regulation adopted with Consob resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended and supplemented, it is pointed out that the treasury shares held by the company are excluded from the share capital upon which the relevant stake for the purposes of the obligations deriving from Article 106, paragraphs 1 and 3, letter b) of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as subsequently amended and supplemented, is calculated, except in the case in which the shares have been purchased in execution of a shareholders' meeting resolution that, without prejudice to the provisions of articles 2368 and 2369 of the Italian Civil Code, has also been approved with the favourable vote of the majority of the shareholders present at the shareholders' meeting, other than the shareholder or shareholders that, even jointly, hold the majority stake, or even the relative majority provided that it exceeds 10%. Moreover, pursuant to Article 44-bis, paragraph 3 of the aforementioned Consob regulation, it is pointed out that the share capital upon which the relevant stake for the purposes of the obligations derived from Article 106, paragraphs 1 and 3, letter b) of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 is calculated does not exclude the treasury shares held by the Company to serve the stock incentive plans, reserved for directors and/or employees of the Company or of subsidiaries.

D. Duration for which the authorisation is requested

The authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares is requested for a period of 18 months, starting from the date when the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting adopts the corresponding resolution. The authorisation to dispose of the treasury shares that may be purchased, and/or of those already in the portfolio, is requested without time limits.

E. Minimum payment and maximum payment

The Board of Directors proposes that the unit payment for the purchase of the treasury shares, including the accessory purchase charges, not exceed 10% of the average of the official prices recorded on the screen-based market in the five sessions prior to the purchase, in compliance at any rate with the terms and conditions established by Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 1052 of 8 March 2016 and by the practices admitted and recognised by Consob pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) no. 596 of 16 April 2014 and Article 180, paragraph 1, letter c) of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as subsequently

amended and supplemented with resolution no. 16839 of 19 March 2009 ("Admitted Practices"), where applicable.

The Board of Directors also proposes being authorised to dispose of and/or use, on any grounds and at any time, in whole or in part, in one or more operations, the purchased treasury shares (even already in the portfolio), for the purposes indicated herein, in accordance with the procedures, terms, and conditions determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the terms, conditions, and requirements established by the applicable regulations and by the Admitted Practices.

F. Procedures through which the purchases and acts of disposal will be carried out

The treasury share purchase operations will start and end by the times established by the Board of Directors after any authorisation by this ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

The purchase of treasury shares will be carried out, in one or more operations, on a revolving basis, through purchase on regulated markets, in accordance with operating procedures that do not permit the direct matching of offers to buy with offers to sell, in compliance with the laws and regulations from time to time in force, and in particular pursuant to Article 132 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, and Article 144-bis, first paragraph, letter b) of the Issuers' Regulations.

The purchase of treasury shares may take place by procedures other than those indicated above where permitted by Article 132, paragraph 3, of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, or by other provisions applicable from time to time at the moment of the operation.

As concerns the operations to dispose of the shares, the Board of Directors proposes that, in compliance with the applicable regulations and with market practice, the authorisation might permit the adoption of any procedure that is appropriate to correspond with the pursued purposes – including the use of the treasury shares at the service of the stock incentive plan –, and in particular that the disposal of the shares might take place, in one or more operations, even prior to having finished the purchases. Given the effects on the float that may derive from the performance of treasury share purchase and sale operations, the Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation provide for the obligation for the Board of Directors to carry out operations for the purchase and sale of the Company's shares in accordance with procedures and times that are such as not to impair the Company's maintenance of the maximum float required for STAR qualification.

G. Additional information, where the purchase operation is instrumental to the reduction in share capital through the cancellation of purchased treasury shares

It is specified that the request for authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares is not, in the present state of affairs, subordinated to operations reducing the share capital through cancellation of the purchased treasury shares.
