B. INTRODUCTION

The following "Introduction" provides a brief description of the structure of the Transaction subject to this Offer Document.

For a full assessment of the terms and conditions of the Offer and to take a knowledgeable decision with respect to Acceptance of the Offer, you are advised to carefully and thoughtfully read the next section entitled "Warnings" and, in any event, the Offer Document in its entirety.

Characteristics of the Offer and relative Consideration

The Transaction described in this Offer Document constitutes a partial voluntary public purchase offer promoted by OJM on its Treasury shares, in compliance with Arts. 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code and Art. 132 of the TUF.

The Offer is not subject to the rules on public purchase offers set forth in Article 102 of the TUF and Article 37 of the Issuer Regulation, as the Maximum Outlay, in the case of full Acceptance of the Offer (i.e., if the Acceptances allow the Offering Party to acquire the maximum number of Shares subject to the Offer), is lower than EUR 8,000,000.00 as set forth pursuant to Arts. 100, paragraph 1, letter c) of the TUF and 34-ter, paragraph 1, of the Issuer Regulation. As a result, the Company is not required to publish an offer document pursuant to the TUF, the Issuer Regulation and the relative Annex 2, and the disclosure set forth in this Offer Document is provided by the Company on a voluntary basis and is not subject to the review and approval of Consob.

Indeed, the Offer exclusively concerns the acquisition of up to 325,065 Shares, corresponding to 2.37% of the entire share capital, for a unit consideration per Share for which the Offer is accepted equal to EUR 8.80, to be paid in cash and therefore, in the case of total Acceptance of the Offer, a Maximum Outlay of EUR 2,860,572.00.

At the Offer Document Date, OJM holds 360,535 Treasury shares. In the case of full acceptance of the Offer, OJM will hold a total of 685,600 Treasury shares, corresponding to 5% of the Issuer's entire share capital.

The Offer is not subject to conditions or the receipt of a minimum quantity of Acceptances. Therefore, OJM will acquire all Shares for which the Offer is accepted until reaching the maximum number of Shares subject to the Offer, without prejudice to cases of Allocation, which will take place when Acceptances of the Offer exceeded the maximum 325,065 Shares subject to the Offer. The Allocation will take place according to the "pro-rata" method, and therefore OJM will acquire the same proportion of Shares from all Participants as those who have accepted the Offer.

All the shareholders of Omniafin S.p.A. (which holds 17.81% of the share capital of OJM and 25.37% of the voting share capital) and of MTI Investimenti S.r.l. (which holds 5.02% of the share capital of OJM and 7.09% of the voting share capital) have declared their intention not to accept the Offer.

The transfer of ownership of the Shares subject to the Offer will take place upon payment of the Consideration at the Payment Date, i.e. 9 December 2022, without prejudice to any extensions or amendments to the Offer that may be made in compliance with provisions of law or regulations in force. The Offering Party has the resources required to proceed with the promotion of the Offer and therefore intends to cover the Maximum Outlay equal to EUR 2,860,572.00 by making recourse to

own funds, i.e. the cash and cash equivalents of the Offering Party.

The Offer is not intended to, nor may it, result in the delisting of the ordinary shares of the Issuer from the Euronext STAR Milan.

The Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer will not be cancelled.

For additional information in relation to the "Categories and quantities of financial instruments subject to the Offer", the "Unit consideration for the financial instruments and its justification" and the "Cases of Allocation", please refer to Sections E., F. and K. of this Offer Document.

Grounds of the Offer

On 19 April 2022, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of OJM approved, inter alia, the authorisation of the Board of Directors to proceed with the acquisition, on one or more occasions, also on a revolving basis, pursuant to Art. 2357, par. 3 of the Italian Civil Code, of ordinary shares of the Company with a unit nominal value of EUR 1, in compliance with applicable provisions of law and regulations and according to any method whatsoever permitted by the legal system, with the sole exclusion of the method pursuant to Art. 144-bis, letter c) of the Issuer Regulation, and therefore also by means of a public purchase offer, after revocation of the authorisation to purchase, for the remaining period, and dispose of treasury shares approved by the previous Shareholders' Meeting on 30 April 2021.

The above-mentioned Shareholders' Meeting also approved (i) the duration of 18 months for which the purchase authorisation was granted, (ii) the acquisition of Treasury shares up to the limit of 5% of the share capital pro tempore of OJM, having regard to the Treasury shares held from time to time in the portfolio by the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) the consideration of the Shares to be acquired, or a price that will not be higher than the higher price of either the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent purchase offer in the trading venue where the acquisition is made or compliant with regulations in force over time and, in any event, a price that may not be 10% higher or lower than the official share price during the Stock Exchange trading day prior to each individual transaction.

On 19 April 2022, the Board of Directors approved initiating the programme for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares according to the methods pursuant to Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Issuer Regulation and therefore with purchases made in the market, according to the methods established by Borsa Italiana, which do not allow for direct matching between purchase trading offers with specific sale trading offers. On 11 November 2022, the Board of Directors ordered the closure of the above-mentioned purchase programme and approved a new purchase programme to be implemented by promoting the Offer, according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Offer Document and provisions of law and regulations in force.

OJM will acquire the Treasury shares subject to the Offer with respect for equal shareholder treatment, according to the terms approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and respected by the Offer approved by the Board of Directors, as well as within the limits of the available reserves as set forth in the Company's financial statements and thus in compliance with the provisions of Arts. 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.

Reasons for the Offer and future programmes

By promoting the Offer, the Issuer intends to favour the achievement of the quantitative purchase objective already announced during the launch of the treasury share purchase programme approved on 19 April 2022, which was closed on 11 November 2022 to overcome the difficulties identified in effectively and promptly executing the programme due to the reduced share trading volumes in the market and the resulting reduced quantities that may be traded by the appointed intermediary. The purposes pursued by the Offer are:

  • offering shareholders, with equal treatment, an additional instrument for the monetisation of their investment at a price which incorporates a premium with respect to the average of the previous months; and
  • providing the Company with a portfolio of treasury shares which it may use, consistent with its strategies, within the context of possible transactions, such as extraordinary transactions, loans or other transactions in relation to which the availability of treasury shares will be necessary or appropriate, or to meet obligations deriving from share-based incentive schemes
  • acting on its shares from a medium and long-term investment point of view or in any case seizing market opportunities.

The acquisition of Treasury shares is therefore not aimed in any manner whatsoever at delisting the OJM Shares from the Euronext STAR Milan.

C. WARNING

C.1 CONDITIONS OF OFFER EFFECTIVENESS

The Offer is not subject to any conditions or the receipt of a minimum quantity of Acceptances.

C.2 EXTENSION OF TERMS

The Offering Party reserves the right to extend the Acceptance Period, and therefore to extend the final deadline for Acceptance of the Offer, in compliance with provisions of law or regulations in force.

C.3 PURCHASE OF TREASURY SHARES

The Shares that OJM offers to acquire by means of this Offer are Ordinary shares of OJM, and therefore such acquisitions are subject to legislative and regulatory provisions on the acquisition of treasury shares.

In particular, pursuant to Article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code, "the company may only purchase treasury shares within the limits of the distributable profits and available reserves reported in the last duly approved financial statements. Only fully paid-up shares can be purchased. The acquisition must be authorised by the shareholders' meeting, which establishes its procedures, indicating the maximum number of shares to be acquired, the duration, not to exceed eighteen months, for which the authorisation is granted, the minimum consideration and the maximum consideration. (...) Shares purchased in violation of the previous sections must be transferred according to methods to be determined by the shareholders' meeting, within one year of their purchase. Otherwise, it must proceed without delay with their cancellation and the corresponding share capital reduction (...)".

On the basis of the foregoing, the acquisition of the Shares subject to this Offer was authorised by the shareholders' meeting of OJM on 19 April 2022. Specifically, the above-mentioned shareholders' meeting approved the methods, maximum number of Shares to be acquired (equal to 5% of the share capital pro tempore of the Company, having regard to the treasury shares held from time to time both directly and also counting any held by subsidiaries) and the purchase price range (or a price that will not be higher than the higher price of either the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent purchase offer in the trading venue where the acquisition is made or compliant with regulations in force over time and, in any event, a price that may not be 10% higher or lower than the official share price during the Stock Exchange trading day prior to each individual transaction).

In compliance with the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting, on 11 November 2022 the Board of Directors approved the Offer, according to the terms set forth in this Offer Document and therefore: (i) the maximum number of Shares subject to this Offer equal to 325,065 Shares, (ii) the unit Consideration per Share equal to EUR 8.80 (therefore within the price range identified by the Shareholders' Meeting), (iii) the duration of the Acceptance Period of 15 Trading Days, unless extended and (iv) in the case of full Acceptance of the Offer, the Maximum Outlay of EUR 2,860,572.00 (below the available reserves set forth in the most recently duly approved financial statements).

C.4 ALLOCATION OF SHARES

Allocation Mechanism and Allocation Ratio

As this is a partial voluntary offer, in the case of Acceptances of the Offer for quantities of Shares exceeding the up to 325,065 Shares subject to the Offer, the Shares for which the Offer is accepted shall be allocated according to the "pro-rata" method, by means of which the Issuer will acquire the same proportion of shares from all Participants for which they have accepted the Offer.

The Allocation percentage will be established on the basis of the Allocation Ratio, or the ratio between the number of Shares subject to the Offer and the number of Shares for which the Offer is accepted.

The Issuer will withdraw without distinction from each Participant a number of Shares equal to the product between the number of Shares delivered by them and the Allocation Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

By the evening of the last day of the Acceptance Period, OJM will check the provisional results of the Offer and calculate any applicable provisional Allocation Ratio.

The excess Shares following the Allocation will be once again made available to the Participants through the Custodian Intermediaries within the first Trading Day subsequent to the notice whereby the final results of the Offer will be disclosed. Recourse to the Allocation mechanism will not allow the Participants to revoke their Acceptance.

If at the end of the Acceptance Period the Offer has been accepted for fewer Shares than the Shares subject to the Offer, OJM will purchase all Shares for which the Offer was accepted with no need to apply the Allocation procedure.

Premium percentage offered to Participants as a result of the Allocation

As a result of the Allocation, Participants will be paid the Consideration only on the Shares actually withdrawn. Therefore, the premium implicitly recognised to Participants will be equal to the Allocation Ratio multiplied by the premium offered.

If the Offer were accepted for all Shares currently outstanding, net of the Treasury shares held by OJM at the Offer Document Date, equal to 360,535, the Allocation Ratio would be equal to 2.434%. As a result, in this case, the premium recognised to the Participants with respect to the official market price on 11 November 2022 would be reduced to 1.937%.

The table below shows, merely as an example, a numerical simulation of the Allocation procedure and any implied premium on the official Stock Exchange listing price on the date of 11 November 2022 (or the last Trading Day prior to the promotion of the Offer) recognised to the Participants.

C.5 GUARANTEES

The Offering Party has sufficient financial resources available in order to fully meet its payment obligations connected to the Offer up to the limit of the Maximum Outlay which, assuming total Acceptance and taking into consideration the maximum number ofshares subject to the Offer, amounts to EUR 2,860,572.00, by making recourse to own funds, or the cash and cash equivalents of the Offering Party.

C.6 EXISTENCE OF FREE FLOAT AND ABSENCE OF INTENTION TO DELIST THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SUBJECT TO THE OFFER. INAPPLICABILITY OF ARTS. 106, 108 AND 111 OF THE TUF (Consolidated Law on Finance)

The Offer consists of a partial voluntary public purchase offer promoted by the Company on 325,065 treasury shares corresponding to 2.37% of the share capital of the Company and is not intended to, nor may it, result in the delisting of the ordinary shares of the Issuer from the Euronext STAR Milan.

In the case of the full acceptance of the Offer and taking into account the shares already in the Issuer's portfolio at the date of this Offer Document, OJM will hold a total of 685,600 ordinary treasury shares, corresponding to 5% of the Issuer's share capital.

Considering the nature of the Offer, which is a partial voluntary public purchase offer on treasury shares of the Offering Party, and taking into account the maximum quantity of treasury shares that the Company may hold when the Offer is complete, as well as the significant stakes held in the share capital of OJM, the requirements are not met for the following, which are therefore inapplicable: (i) the incremental public purchase offer obligation set forth in Art. 106, paragraph 3, letter b) of the TUF, (ii) the purchase right pursuant to Article 111 of the TUF and (iii) the purchase obligation pursuant to Article 108, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the TUF (as the Offer in question cannot in any event result in the Offering Party holding a total stake exceeding 90% of the Issuer's ordinary share capital).

C.7 INFORMATION RELATING TO POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE OFFER

Alantra Capital Markets SV S.A.U. - Italian Branch and Equita SIM S.p.A. act as financial advisor and Intermediary Responsible for Collection, respectively, in connection with the Offer and will receive fees in relation to the services provided. Equita SIM S.p.A. is also acting as specialised operator for the Issuer's shares on the Euronext STAR Milan market and the intermediary responsible for the execution of the treasury share purchase programme. In addition, at the Offer Document Date, Alantra Capital Markets SV S.A.U. - Italian Branch and Equita SIM S.p.A. in the course of the normal exercise of their activities: (i) may have provided or could provide in the future services in favour of the Offering Party, its shareholders and/or their parent companies, subsidiaries or associates; (ii) at any moment could hold short or long positions and, if permitted by applicable regulations, negotiate or otherwise carry out transactions, on their own behalf or on behalf of customers, in capital or debt instruments loans or other financial instruments (including derivatives) of the Offering Party, its shareholders or their parent companies, subsidiaries or associates.

C.8 ALTERNATIVES FOR OFFER RECIPIENTS

The Offer is intended for holders of OJM Shares and concerns up to 325,065 Shares, equal to 2.37% of the Issuer's entire share capital.

The possible scenarios for the current OJM shareholders in the case of Acceptance or non-Acceptance of the Offer are illustrated below.

Acceptance of the Offer

In the case of Acceptance of the Offer, the OJM shareholders will receive consideration of EUR 8.80 for each Share for which the Offer is accepted, without prejudice to any Allocation, which will take place if the Offer receives Acceptances to an extent exceeding the number of Shares subject to the Offer.

By accepting the Offer, the OJM shareholder (i) will no longer be a shareholder of the Issuer, if it accepts the Offer with respect to all of its Shares and there is no Allocation, or (ii) will continue to be a

shareholder of the Issuer, if accepting the Offer only in part or if there is an Allocation.

The OJM shareholders may accept the Offer with their respective Shares during the Acceptance Period.

The Shares for which the Offer is accepted shall remain restricted in connection with the Offer and, therefore, from the acceptance date until the Payment Date, those who have accepted the Offer may exercise the property and administrative rights relating to the Shares for which the Offer has been accepted, but may not entirely or partially transfer, or in any case carry out other disposals, regarding such Shares.

Non-Acceptance of the Offer

The Offer consists of a partial voluntary public purchase offer not intended to result in the delisting of the Shares from the Euronext STAR Milan.

F. UNIT CONSIDERATION FOR THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ITS JUSTIFICATION

F.1 INDICATION OF THE CONSIDERATION AND THE CRITERIA USED FOR CALCULATION

The Consideration offered, which will be paid in full in cash at the Payment Date, is set at EUR 8.80 for each Share for which the Offer is accepted and is effectively withdrawn on the outcome of the same.

At present, no distribution of reserves or extraordinary dividends is planned between the Offer Document Date and the Payment Date.

The Consideration is net of stamp duties, when due, and remuneration, fees and expenses which will remain under the exclusive responsibility of the Offering Party. The substitute tax on capital gains, when due, shall be borne by the Offer Participants.

In the case of full Acceptance of the Offer, the Maximum Outlay will be equal to EUR 2,860,572.00.

The Consideration was determined, within the range established by the shareholders' meeting of OJM on 19 April 2022, following independent assessments by the Board of Directors, taking into consideration the analysis of the OJM stock market prices in the months prior to the announcement of the Offer.

Specifically, the Consideration, equal to EUR 8.80 for each Share for which the Offer is accepted and effectively withdrawn on the outcome of the Offer, incorporates a premium of 9.94% with respect to the official Stock Exchange price of 11 November 2022 - the last Trading Day prior to the launch of the Offer - (the "Reference Date") equal to EUR 0.80, as well as a premium with respect to the weighted average of the official prices recorded in the respective reference periods prior to the announcement date, as laid out in the table below.

REFERENCE PERIOD WEIGHTED

IMPLIED PREMIUM IN THE
CONSIDERATION

3
months prior to the Reference
Date
7.6568 14.93%
Weighted average price -

months prior to the Reference
Date
8.3389 5.53%

If the Allocation is applied, if the number of Shares for which the Offer is accepted is higher than the Shares subject to the Offer, the Consideration will be paid to the Participants only on the Shares effectively withdrawn.

Therefore, the premium implicitly recognised to Participants would be equal to the Allocation Ratio multiplied by the premium offered.

If the Offer were accepted for all Shares currently outstanding, net of the Treasury shares held by OJM at the Offer Document Date, equal to 360,535, the Allocation Ratio would be equal to 2.434%. As a result, in this case, the premium recognised to the Participants with respect to the official market price on 11 November 2022 would be reduced to 0.24%.

F.2 INDICATION OF THE TOTAL EQUIVALENT VALUE OF THE OFFER

The Offer is proposed on up to 325,065 Shares, equal to 2.37% of the total 13,712,000 Shares outstanding.

The total Equivalent Value of the Offer, in the case of full Acceptance of the Offer, amounts to EUR 2,860,572.00.

F.3 COMPARISON OF THE CONSIDERATION WITH SPECIFIC INDICATORS

The table below shows a comparison of the Consideration with several consolidated indicators of the Issuer, total and per Share, referring respectively to the financial statements as at 31 December 2021 and the financial statements as at 31 December 2020.

Please note that in the calculation of the data per Share, changes in the share capital and the number and value of the Shares were taken into consideration and, when appropriate, the adjustment formula adopted is also specified.

Acceptance of the Offer may take place on any Trading Day included in the Acceptance Period between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

The Offering Party reserves the right to extend and/or modify the terms of the Offer, announcing this by publishing dedicated press releases, which will be made available to the public on the website of OJM, www.openjobmetis.com, Investor Relations section.

G.1.2 Acceptance and Share deposit procedure

Acceptance of the Offer must take place by (i) delivering the dedicated Acceptance Form, duly filled out in each part and signed, and (ii) simultaneously depositing the Shares for which the Offer is accepted in a restricted account at the Intermediary Responsible for Collection or the Custodian Intermediaries.

In consideration of the securities dematerialisation procedure, for the purposes of this paragraph, the Share deposit shall be considered carried out even if the Shareholder provides suitable instructions on transferring such Shares to the Offering Party to the Custodian Intermediaries at which the Shares it holds are deposited. Therefore, in consideration of the above-mentioned security dematerialisation procedure, the signing of the Acceptance Form shall also be valid as an irrevocable instruction granted by the individual Participant to the relative Custodian Intermediary at which the Shares are deposited in the securities account, to transfer such Shares to restricted accounts at the above-mentioned Intermediary Responsible for Collection.

The OJM shareholders that have Shares available and intend to accept the Offer may deliver the Acceptance Form and deposit the Shares indicated therein at the Custodian Intermediaries on the condition that the delivery and deposit are executed in due time to allow for the Custodian Intermediaries to deposit the Shares at the Intermediary Responsible for Collection by no later than the last day of the Acceptance Period.

The Custodian Intermediaries, as agents, must counter-sign the Acceptance Forms. The risk that the Custodian Intermediaries may not deliver the relative Acceptance Forms by the last valid day of the Acceptance Period and not deposit the relative Shares at the Intermediary Responsible for Collection by no later than the last day of the Acceptance Period shall be borne exclusively by the Offer Participants.

When the Offer is accepted and the Shares are deposited by signing the Acceptance Form, a mandate shall be granted to the Intermediary Responsible for Collection and, if applicable, to the Custodian Intermediary, to carry out all formalities necessary in preparation for the transfer of the Shares to OJM, which shall bear the relative cost.

Furthermore, in order for the Offer to be accepted, the relative Shares must be free of real, mandatory and personal constraints of any type or nature whatsoever as well as freely transferrable to OJM. Furthermore, the Offer may be accepted for Shares generated by purchases carried out in the market only after the transactions have been settled within the clearing system.

If Acceptances of minors or people entrusted to guardians or trustees are signed, in accordance with applicable legal provisions, by the party who exercises paternal authority, protection or administration but are not accompanied by the authorisation of the judge supervising the guardianship, they shall be accepted with reservations and not counted for the purpose of determining the percentage of Offer Acceptance, and they shall be paid for in any case only when the authorisation is obtained.

The Offer may be accepted only for Shares which at the moment of Acceptance are duly registered and available in a securities account in the name of the Offer Participant open at a Custodian Intermediary.

In the case of an irregular Acceptance not remedied within the term of the Acceptance Period, the Shares for which the Offer was accepted on the basis of such irregular Acceptance shall be returned to the respective owners within 1 Trading Day of the end of the Acceptance Period, with no additional expenses for Participants.

Please note that the Acceptance of the Offer by OJM shareholders is irrevocable, without prejudice to the case in which during the Acceptance Period a public purchase offer on the Shares pursuant to Article 106 of the TUF is promoted.

During the same period of time, Participants may not transfer, all or in part, and in any event dispose of the Shares for which the Offer has been accepted.

At the Payment Date, the Intermediary Responsible for Collection will transfer all Shares for which the Offer was accepted into a securities account in the name of OJM. Therefore, as of the Payment Date, the Offer Participants may no longer exercise property and corporate rights relating to the Shares for which the Offer is accepted.

G.3 COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO OFFER TRENDS AND RESULTS

By 6 December 2022 and without prejudice to any extension of the Offer, OJM shall disclose the final results of the Offer via the publication of a dedicated press release with an indication of the final results of the Offer after the Acceptance Period and any Allocation Ratio applied.

OJM also reserves the right to extend the Acceptance Period, and therefore to extend the final deadline for Acceptance of the Offer, disclosing this in a dedicated communication in compliance with provisions of law or regulations in force.

The press releases mentioned above will be made available to the public on the website of OJM, www.openjobmetis.com, Investor Relations section.

The obligation of OJM to pay the Consideration due for the Shares for which the Offer is accepted and effectively withdrawn on the outcome of the Offer will be deemed met when the relative funds are credited to the Custodian Intermediaries.

K.1 METHODS OF ALLOCATION OF THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AS A RESULT OF THE OFFER

The Offer consists of a partial voluntary public purchase offer and is not intended to, nor may it, result in the delisting of the ordinary shares of the Issuer from the Euronext STAR Milan.

In the case of Acceptances of the Offer for quantities of Shares exceeding the up to 325,065 Shares subject to the Offer, an allocation will take place according to the "pro-rata" method, by means of which the Issuer will acquire the same proportion of Shares from all Participants for which they have accepted the Offer. The Allocation percentage will be established on the basis of the Allocation Ratio, or the ratio between the number of Shares subject to the Offer and the number of Shares for which the Offer is accepted.

The Issuer will withdraw without distinction from each Participant a number of Shares equal to the product between the number of Shares for which the Offer is accepted and the Allocation Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

By the evening of the last Trading Day of the Acceptance Period, i.e., 2 December 2022, OJM will check the provisional results of the Offer and calculate any provisional Allocation Ratio applicable in the event of an Allocation. The excess Shares following any Allocation procedure will be once again made available to the Participants through the Intermediary Responsible for Collection and the respective Custodian Intermediaries within the first Trading Day subsequent to the notice whereby the final results of the Offer will be disclosed.

Please also note that in the case of the application of the Allocation mechanism, in any event revocation of the Acceptance will not be permitted.

If at the end of the Acceptance Period the Offer has been accepted for fewer Shares than the maximum number of Shares subject to the Offer, OJM will purchase all Shares for which the Offer was accepted with no need to apply the Allocation mechanism outlined in this section.
