3. Proposal of authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, subject to the withdrawal of the resolution passed by the Shareholder's Meeting of 28 April 2017; related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

with reference to the third point on the agenda, this section of this report, prepared pursuant to Article 73 of the Issuers' Regulation, shows the proposal for authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, subject to the prior revocation of the resolution passed by the Shareholder's Meeting of 28 April 2017, that the Board of Directors of Tesmec intends to submit to your approval.

Please note that the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting of April 28, 2017 authorized the Board of Directors to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, also through subsidiaries, for a maximum number of ordinary shares of the Company, having a par value of 0.10 Euro each, equal to 10% of the pro tempore share capital within the limits and for the purposes provided by law and market practices, one or more times, within a maximum period of eighteen months from the date of the resolution by the Shareholders' Meeting; the purchases were to be made at a price that did not deviate by more than 10% down and up from the reference price recorded by the security in the trading session preceding each transaction. The maximum number of treasury shares that were purchasable on a daily basis was not to be higher than 25% of the average daily volume of Tesmec shares traded on the market.

Hereinafter are exposed the reasons and modalities for the purchase and disposal of the treasury shares of the Company in accordance to which the Board of Directors proposes to the shareholders to resolve the new authorization.

Reasons for the proposal for authorisation to purchase treasury shares

The request for authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, subject-matter of the proposal for authorisation to be submitted to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, aims at providing the Company with a useful strategic investment opportunity for any purpose allowed by the national laws and EU regulations, including the purposes contemplated in the "market practices" allowed time to time in force.

In particular, the Board of Directors considers it useful that the authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, also through subsidiaries, be granted to pursue the following aims:

• a. offer incentives to and develop loyalty of employees (including any category that, by the same standard as the law, in force each time, is treated as equivalent), collaborators, directors of the Company and/or of companies controlled by it and/or other categories of subjects (such as one-firm agents or otherwise) chosen at the discretion of the Board of Directors, as deemed appropriate each time by the Company;
• b. fulfil any obligation arising from debt instruments convertible into/or exchangeable with equity instruments;
• c. carry out sales, exchanges, swaps, capital contributions or other disposals of treasury shares for acquisitions of shareholdings and/or real estate and/or the conclusion of agreements (trade agreements or otherwise) with strategic partners, and/or for the implementation of industrial projects or Merger & Acquisition operations, which fall within the objectives of expansion of the Company and the Tesmec Group;
• d. carry out subsequent purchases and sales of shares, within the limitation allowed by the market practices approved, including operations to support the liquidity of the market;
• e. in order to purchase treasury shares owned by employees of the Company or subsidiaries and assigned or subscribed pursuant to Articles 2349 or 2441, paragraph eight of the Italian Civil Code or originating from incentive plans approved pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF;
• f. seize market opportunities also through the purchase and resale of shares whenever appropriate both on the market (as regards conveyance) in the so-called over-the-counter markets or even outside the market provided at market conditions.

Maximum number of shares of the proposal for authorisation

The authorisation refers to the purchase, also through subsidiaries, in one or more times, of ordinary treasury shares with a par value Euro 0.10 each, up to 10% of the pro tempore share capital of the Company, taking into account the treasury shares held by the Company and the its controlled subsidiaries. Purchases will be made within the limits of the distributable profits and of the available reserves resulting from the last financial statements approved by the Company or by the subsidiary making a purchase.

The authorisation also includes the right to dispose later (in whole or in part and also in several times) of the shares held in portfolio, also before having reached the maximum amount of shares purchasable and eventually to repurchase the shares to the extent that the treasury shares held by the Company and, if necessary, by its controlled subsidiaries, do not exceed the limit established by the authorisation.

Further useful information for the assessment of compliance with Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code

At the date of this report, the share capital of the Company is represented by 107,084,000 ordinary shares having a par value of Euro 0.10, for a total value of Euro 10,708,400 fully subscribed and paid-up. At the date of this report, the Company holds no. 4,711,879 treasury shares taking into account also the shares held by its controlled subsidiaries.

As pointed out, the maximum number of treasury shares shall never exceed 10% of the share capital of the Company, taking into account also the shares owned by its controlled subsidiaries.

The authorization to purchase is in accordance with article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code as it relates to a number of shares that will not exceed one fifth of the share capital.

The amount of available reserves and distributable profits as well as the verification of information for the assessment of compliance with the maximum limit of purchase to which the authorization refers, will be subject to verification at the time of each operation.

Duration for which authorisation is sought

The authorisation to purchase treasury shares, also through subsidiaries, is required for a period of 18 (eighteen) months from the date of approval of the resolution of the shareholders' meeting authorising the purchase equal to the maximum time allowed by art. 2357, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code.The Board of Directors may carry out the authorised transactions in one or more times and at any time, to the extent and within the terms freely determined in accordance with the applicable law, with the progression considered appropriate in the interest of the Company.

The authorisation to dispose of the treasury shares is required without time limits.

Minimum and maximum consideration

The Board of Directors proposes that the purchases of treasury shares are carried out in compliance with the conditions established for the market allowed time to time in force, where applicable, and in particular for a consideration that does not exceed the highest price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the current highest independent offer in the trading venues where the purchase is made, being understood that the purchase transactions must be carried out at a price that does not deviate by more than 10% down and up from the reference price recorded by the security in the trading session preceding each transaction.

The disposals of treasury shares purchased pursuant to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting authorising the purchase, in one or more times in the manner deemed most appropriate in the interests of the Company and in compliance with applicable law, are made in the manners hereinafter specified:

• i) at a price established each time by the Board of Directors in relation to opportunity criteria, it being understood that this price shall optimise the economic effects on the Company, where the security itself is instrumental to the issuance of debt instruments convertible into/or exchangeable with equity instruments or incentive plans in connection with the exercise of the options to purchase shares by the relevant beneficiaries, or if the security is offered for sale, exchange, swap, capital contribution or other disposal, for acquisitions of shareholdings and/or real estate and/or the conclusion of agreements (trade agreements or otherwise) with strategic partners, and/or for implementation of industrial projects or Merger & Acquisition operations, which fall within the objectives of expansion of the Company and the Tesmec Group;
• ii) at a price that does not deviate by more than 10% down and up from the reference price recorded by the security in the trading session preceding each transaction for subsequent purchase and sale transactions.

Modalities in accordance to which the purchase and disposal of treasury shares will be made

The purchase transactions will be carried out, also through subsidiaries, in accordance with the provisions of Article 132 of the TUF, by Article 144-bis, by Regulation (EU) 596/2014 and by the Delegate Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, as well as in accordance with the market practices approved by Consob allowed time to time in force, where applicable, and the operating procedures established in the regulations on the organisation and management of the markets so as to ensure the equal treatment of shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 132 of the TUF.

The disposal can be carried out in the manner deemed most appropriate in the interest of the Company and, in any case, in compliance with the applicable law and the market practices approved. The Company will inform the public and Consob, in accordance with the procedures and terms contemplated by the laws and regulations in force.

Exemption from the mandatory public tender offer requirement obligation deriving from the approval of the resolution authorising the purchase of treasury shares

However, pursuant to Article 44-bis, second paragraph, of the Issuers' Regulation, the provision mentioned above does not apply if the crossing of the thresholds indicated in Article 106, paragraphs 1 and 3, letter b), of the TUF results from purchases of treasury shares carried out, directly or indirectly, by the Company in execution of a resolution passed, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 2368 and 2369 of the Italian Civil Code, also with the vote of the majority of the shareholders of the Company, attending the meeting, other than TTC S.r.l. and Fi.Ind.
