• pprovides rules regarding the minimum standard service levels.

• p The distributor gives access to any requiring gas sales company, that has the right to use the network to supply gas to its customers (third party access)

• p In order to improve the economic efficiency of the sector, since ²⁰⁰⁷ the legislation has established that the tenders must be called to assign concessions for the management of the service in wide geographical areas, grouping neighbouring municipalities (Territorial Districts).

• pThe national government constituted ¹⁷⁷ Territorial Districts nationwide
• p Municipalities belonging to ^a single Territorial District must appoint ^a local entity to act as contracting authority for the District
• pThe law established the deadline by which each District Authority must call the tenders.
• p In ²⁰¹¹ the national government issued some decrees establishing the general contents of the call for tenders, that must be fulfilled on the base of the local needs for investments to be defined by the local contracting authority. The standardization was aimed at encouraging competition and assuringtransparency and effectiveness in the tender process..

The current rules governing the incoming tender processes will probably cause ^a furtherrestructuring of the distribution sector.

A significant reduction in the number of operators is expected, as the participation to the publictenders requires to the potential competitors strong financial capability and important economic, organizational and technical skills.

Ascopiave positioning in the Territorial Districts constituted by the Government (*)

• p Ascopiave is currently the main operator in ³ Territorial Districts (Treviso 2, Vicenza ³ and Treviso 1) with more than 50% market share in terms of end users served. The current end users in theseTerritorial Districts amount to over 50% of the total end users served by the Group.
• p Ascopiave currently has ^a remarkable market share in other Minimum Territorial Districts located in Veneto and Lombardy.

(*) 2012 data (pro-quota).

Ascopiave is selecting the Territorial Districts to bid for and is evaluating potential partnerships with other operators, in order to strengthen its position in some geographical areas.

Ascopiave has all the requirements to successfully act in the market:

• it has strong financial capability so it can finance the required investments, by further exploiting the financial leverage
• • It is one of the main operator in Italy, with a long-standing and excellent expertise in the sector and it can assign remarkable organisational and economic resources to competein the tender processes.

Tariff regulation: standard investment costs

National Energy Authority (AEEGSI) announced that starting from 2019 the value of the investmentsconsidered by the tariff system will be not the effective cost but it will be estimated using standard coststo be defined by the AEEGSI. For this reason the regulatory value of the assets will be different fromtheir effective cost.

Resolution is expected to be issued in October 2017.

Tariff regulation for the incoming Territorial District concessions

Difference between Compensation and RAB

At the starting date of the new concession:

• • if the winner of the public tender is the current incumbent operator, the new RAB is equal to theprevious one;
• • if the winner of the public tender is ^a newcomer, the new RAB is equal to the compensation paid bythe newcomer to the outgoing operator.

Compensation at the end date of the minimum territorial district concession

The compensation is calculated as the sum of (a) the value of the stock of capital existing at the start date of the concession, that is equal to the initial compensation properly updated to take into account thedepreciation occurred during the concessional period, and (b) the value of the investments made during the concessional period, calculated as the average between the effective costs of the assets and the regulatory value of the assets.

Strengths

• Dimensional level that allows exploitation of interesting management economies of scale
• Contiguity in gas network, with advantages in terms of operative efficiency
• High network management operative standards
• Part of the local municipalities granting the gas distribution concessions are shareholders of the Group
• Independence by large municipalities
• Current financial leverage

Weakness

We expect that legal framework uncertainty and the timeneeded by municipalities to organize competitive tender procedures will delay the tenders start

Opportunities

• Possibility to achieve critical mass as of aggregative polein Veneto and Lombardy in the utility sector
• Tenders for gas distribution concessions
• Temporary push towards aggregations of companies operating in the sector increase in geographical coverageby expanding the corporate structure

Threats

• Regulatory uncertainty
• Uncertainty on financial needs for the compensations to be paid to outgoing distributors
• Gas concession expiring
• Risk to lose tenders

Gas sales sector: key figures

• pNo. of operators in the italian market: over ¹⁶⁰
• p First ¹⁰ operators (volumes of gas sold higher than one billion of standard cubic meters) supplying over 73% of overall consumption to the final market (45,6 billions standard cubic meters on ^a total of 62,4 billlions standard cubic meters)

Since liberalization introduced by Letta decree in the early 2000s, gas sale market has experienced twowell distinct phases:

porganic growth

pconsolidation through company aggregations / mergers and vertical integrations

The current phase of market concentration - that is happening through M&A activities (external growth)and the exit from the market of minor gas sales companies - will cause ^a further reduction in the numberof operators.

• p Since ²⁰⁰⁸ economic crisis continues to affect natural gas demand. Together with the structure and constraints of take or pay contracts it has contributed to create ^a long market
• pDecoupling between gas price and oil gas price is very significant
• p All these factors (decoupling, long market and spot prices) have contributed to considerably raise margins for retail operators not tied by procurement to takeor pay contracts
• pThe difference between tariff component of raw material and real purchase costs has been very high
• p Resolution n. 196/2013 has changed the criteria to define and update the component of the selling price aimed at covering the cost of the raw material that, now refers entirely to the gas spot market (TTF forward prices)
• p Although gradually, extra margins outcoming from the difference between tariff component of row material and real purchase costs will be reduced significantly in the coming years.

External growth (through M&A) becomes again ^a driver of development in the gas market asopposed to the organic growth.

Increase in profitability comes from low gas procurement costs (by entering the mid-streamsegment of the value chain)

• p Ascopiave customer base is constituted for the most part by loyal residential customers (about 60% of the gas volumes sold)
• p Despite gas sales business was completely liberalised in 2003, so that any end consumer may sign ^a supply contract with any gas sales company, the National Energy Authority (AEEGSI) continue toregulate activities to assure that the market works properly and to protect certain categories of customers (residential customers); for these customers, maximum tariff levels are still set.
• p The National Energy Authority announced that from ²⁰¹⁸ it will stop fixing maximum tariff levels, so that supply prices will be set only through the free negotiations occurring in the market.

The price component covering the wholesale cost of gas set by the Authority for the protected market (CMEM) is currently linked to the European gas spot prices and not to the medium-long term take or paycontracts.

Current regulation provides that the price component is quarterly up-datedand is equal to:

CMEM = Pfor + QT(int) +QT(psv) + QT(mcv)

where:

P(for) ⁼ component price covering the cost of the raw material (energy), calculated as the average of the forward OTC quarterly prices in the Dutch TTF hub occurring in the penultimate month before the reference quarter and published by ICIS-Heren

QT(int)⁼ cost of the gas transport through international pipelines

QT(psv)⁼ cost of the gas transport from the national boundary to the virtual national hub (PSV)

QT(mcv)⁼ other transportation costs

Gas procurement costs

• pGas procurement costs are negotiated on a free market
• pIncumbent shippers have strong market position
• pDeclining gas demand gives economic opportunities to sales companies with loyal customer base

To procure gas for the most stable part of its customers base (residential and small business customers) Ascopiave relies:

• 1) on a long term take or pay contract signed in 2008 by Sinergie Italiane (in liquidation) (current capital stake of Ascopiave: 30.94%).
• 2) on annual contracts stipulated with several shippers for almost all the rest of the clients.

Renegotiation of the long term take or pay contract

• p The economic conditions provided by the contract signed in 2008 with Gazprom have been renegotiated several times in the past
• p Economic conditions need to be renegotiated periodically as the prices become significantly different from the ones prevailing in the market.
• p In the recent past all the main national shippers that signed long term take or pay contracts renegotiated their economic conditions, because the contracted prices became out of the market; due to the economic crisis and the system overcapacity the spot market prices fell dramatically.
• p Renegotiation has likely allowed the national shippers to recover margins on their activities and improve their economics.

Sinergie Italiane is ^a company established in 2008 (*) to create ^a partnership among Italian downstreamenergy companies strongly rooted to local areas and with solid and loyal customer bases.

Sinergie Italiane signed ^a long-term import take or pay (ToP) contract with Gazprom for the supply of 1.0bcm of gas per year up to 2021.

In April 2012 Sinergie Italiane shareholders meeting resolved for the voluntary liquidation of the companyand appointed the liquidators.

The scope of the company during 2012-2014 was limited to import russian gas and to sell it to the salescompanies participated by the shareholders, as well as to manage the agreements, transactions anddisputes relating to the regulation of contractual relations, improved before the liquidation.

^(*) Former shareholders structure included the current shareholders and also Alto Milanese Gestioni Avanzate and Utilità Progetti.

Ascopiave has the possibility to act in the market successfully, taking opportunities from the furtherincoming market liberalization and concentration:

It is one of the main operator in Italy, with an extensive and good expertise in the sector, as well as good standing and reputation

It currently has an important size, that allows it to exploit economies of scale (efficient cost for operations and marketing)

it has a loyal and stable customer base, that makes it an appealing partner for experienced up and mid stream operators

it has strong financial capabilityso it can support external growth by M&A and/or vertical integration.

Ascopiave: actions in the gas sales market

To improve its competitive positioning in the gas sales market, Ascopiave Group intends:

• to grow through M&A (external growth) to compensate the natural loss of gas sales customers in the geographical area where it is the incumbent operator
• to develop the electricity business as ^a tool to retain current gas customer base (cross selling)
• to reduce the cost to serve, through ^a more efficient management of the core operations (billing, back office and front office activities, credit cash, credit recovery, etc)
• to improve the gas supply process by exploiting the competitive advantage of having stable consumption in ^a long gas market

Strengths

• Large end customer base
• High per-capita consumption
• Front offices capillarity
• Efficient customer care service
• Differentiation of offered services (dual fuel)
• Independence by big customers
• Deeply rooted presence in reference geographical area
• Strong local brand reputation
• High degree of customer loyalty

Weakness

Limited diffusion and knowledge of the brand outside of the geographical area where the Group is the current incumbent

Opportunities

• Presence in territory with good development capabilities in the segment of residential customers
• Opportunity to acquire new customers in locations not served by distribution SBU
• Total market 'opening' – Cross selling on customer base

Threats

• Risk exposure connected to gas purchase cost
• Activity partially regulated by the Italian Gas, Electricity and Water Authority, focused on keeping low price levels
• Competition in a fully liberalized market
• Competitive pressure increase and attacks from new entrants
• Entrance and consolidation of foreign groups and major Italian utilities

The increase of gross margin on gas sales of the companies consolidated with full consolidation method, equal to ⁺ Euro 14,1 mln, is due to:

• 1) reduction of the gas purchase cost due to the accounting of the compensation entitled tothe Group for the adhesion to the mechanism for the renegotiation of the long-term gasprocurement agreements in the years 2014-2016 according to the AEEGSI Res. 447/2013/R/gas (- Euro 11,1 mln) (APR);
• 2)higher unit profit margins, in spite of the lower volumes of gas sold.

(*) Economic data before elisions.

In 2013, AEEGSI concluded the review of the economic conditions applicable to protectedcustomers, by adjusting them to the gradual and structural evolution of Italy's gas market, which led to the alignment of tariffs with those prevailing in other European countries.

In order to soften the impact of the afore-mentioned review on operators having long-termprocurement portfolios, regulation AEEGSI (447/2013/R/gas) has envisaged the following:

• support the long-term gas price renegotiation by entering ^a specific CPR component within the general context for defining the new price on the protected market. The goal isthe introduction of ^a compensation payment to offset the dislocation between long-termprocurement prices, pegged to oil and its derivatives, and market rates, those prevailingon spot deals, to support the gradual migration of procurement benchmarks in therenegotiation process;
• guarantee an advantage to the protected customer if, during the mechanism's three-year application period, market prices on the whole turn out to be higher than the average procurement costs of long-term contracts.

Selling firms interested in the APR mechanism enjoyed the option of whether to join ordecline admission.

In 2013, in relation to the Group's gas volumes, AEEGSI had planned the following forAscopiave – in the event of admission:

• ^a total maximum compensation, during the mechanism's three-year application, to the tune of Euro 11,2 million;
• and, in the event of ^a reversal between procurement and spot price, ^a disbursement to end customers up to 3 times the figure that was initially defined: approximately Euro 33,5million.

At the beginning, the Group had resolved to stay out of the APR mechanism, based on proven unfavourable operating conditions, challenging it in the Regional Court of Lombardy(TAR), by requesting ^a suspension.

Subsequently, having obtained the suspension of the regulation and – thanks to technical data collected in the meantime – having evaluated ^a high likelihood of success, themanagement resolved on joining the APR mechanism.

In November 2016, through regulation 649/2016/R/GAS, AEEGSI determined the actual compensation figure in favour of the Group, defining it to the amount of ⁺ Euro 11,1 million.
