Information on the share capital is available on the Company's website www.geox.biz, in the Governance section under "Shareholders' Meeting 2024".

Participation in the Shareholders' Meeting and granting of the proxy to the Designated Representative: pursuant to Art. 83-sexies of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/98 as amended (the "Testo Unico della Finanza" or "TUF" - Italian Consolidated Law on Finance) and Art. 12 of the Articles of Association, the right to participate and vote in the Shareholders' Meeting is granted to those holding shares at the end of the seventh open market day prior to the date of the Meeting, i.e. on 10 April 2024 ("record date"), provided that they have notified the Company of their intention to attend the Meeting, through the authorized intermediary, pursuant to legal provisions and applicable regulations. The Company must receive this notification by the end of the third open market day (16 April 2024) prior to the date of the Meeting. This shall be without prejudice to the legitimacy to participate and vote even if the Company receives this notification after the aforementioned deadline, as long as it is received before the Shareholders' Meeting commences. Those who acquire ownership of the shares only after the record date are not authorized to participate and vote in the Shareholders' Meeting.

Those with the right to intervene at the Shareholders' Meeting are entitled to be represented through a written proxy pursuant to the legal provisions in force, using the proxy form available on the Company's website at www.geox.biz, in the Governance section "Shareholders' Meeting 2024".

The proxy may be notified to the Company by post to the Company's registered office or by email to the certified email address societario@pec.geox.com.

Any advance notice does not exempt the representative, at the time of authorization for access to the Meeting, from the requirement to demonstrate the conformity of the proxy with the original.

The proxy may be conferred, with the necessary voting instructions regarding the Agenda items, to Computershare S.p.A., registered office in Milan, via Lorenzo Mascheroni no. 19, Postal Code 20145, as the party designated for this purpose by the Company, pursuant to Art. 135-undecies of TUF, signing the specific proxy form which can be found, in printable form, on the Company's website at www.geox.biz, in the Governance section "Shareholders' Meeting 2024", or at the

aforementioned registered office of Computershare S.p.A.. The proxy with voting instructions must be received by Computershare S.p.A., via Lorenzo Mascheroni no 19, 20145 Milan, by the end of the second open market day preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. by 17 April 2024) by the means indicated in the proxy form. The proxy is effective only if voting instructions were provided. The proxy and voting instructions may be revoked within the same period as above. It is noted that the communication made to the Company by the intermediary, bearing witness to the legitimate right to intervene in the Shareholders' Meeting and to exercise voting right, is also necessary in the case of conferring the proxy to the Designated Representative. Pursuant to the law, the shares for which a proxy has been conferred, including a partial one, are counted for the purposes of the regular establishment of the Shareholders' Meeting and, should voting instructions have not been conferred, the shares are not counted for the purposes of calculating the majority and the amount of share capital required to approve the resolutions. Further information regarding the granting of proxy to Computershare S.p.A. (which can be contacted by telephone for any clarifications +39 02 46776816 or +039 02 46776814) is also made available within the aforementioned specific proxy form.

No means of voting by post or with electronic means are envisaged.

Right to ask questions: The shareholders with a right to intervene in the Shareholders' Meeting can submit questions about items on the agenda even before the Shareholders' Meeting by the fifth open market day before the Meeting (12 April 2024). Questions may be submitted with a specific letter by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt to the Company's registered office and/or by certified email to the following certified email address societario@pec.geox.com.
