The main changes in the Group Net Financial Position as of November 30th, 2022, compared to June 30th, 2022 are due to the flow generated by operating activities for the payment of trade payables to suppliers of goods and services, for the collection of trade receivables and for the payment of financial payables to leasing companies. The cash and cash equivalent increase is of about 18,4 Euro million. While in the same period the current loans and other current financial liabilities increase is of about 3,7 Euro million.

It should be noted that, during the period, receipts were made for major projects in Australia, Saudi Arabia, and United States.

The Net Financial Position of the financial statements of the Company at June 30th, 2022 and November 30th, 2022 includes the partial write-down of intercompany financial receivables; this effect does not generate any impact in the consolidated Net Financial Position.

It should be noted that:

• during 2020, the Company has completed the capital strengthening along with the restructuring of the financial debt under the agreement ex article 182 bis IBL signed with the main financing banks of the Group on August 5th, 2019 (the "Restructuring Agreement") and approved by decree of the Court of Appeal of Bologna on January 10, 2020. In the context of the overall financial measures, according to the Restructuring Agreement, the financial indebtedness of the Company, as well as of the subsidiaries of Trevi S.p.A. and Soilmec S.p.A., has been consolidated and rescheduled for the majority until December 31st, 2024 and the interest rate applicable to the same has been reduced;
• on January 31st, 2021, the Company informed the market that, on the basis of the preliminary information available at that date in relation to management performance in year 2020, strongly influenced by the negative effects caused globally by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, affected the Group's activity, in order to deal with the foreseeable failure to comply with one of the financial covenants provided for under the Restructuring Agreement in particular the ratio of net financial debt to consolidated recurring EBITDA;
• on February 24th, 2021, Trevifin informed the market about the start of interlocutions with banks adherents to the Restructuring Agreement identifying the necessary changes to existing agreements to cope with the foreseeable failure to comply with one of the financial covenants provided for under the Restructuring Agreement on the occasion of the next approval of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2020;
• on April 23rd, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the updated business plan 2021-2024 taking into consideration the slowdown in the financial year ended at December 31st, 2020 and Trevi Group's prospects in the current market context, which is strongly influenced by the effects caused globally by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. The business plan has been revised both in the quantitative objectives and in its time projection, until the year 2024, in accordance with the original strategic lines and confirming the achievement of the initial recovery goals, though a longer period of time compared to the original forecasts. This new plan was subsequently updated, initially, in order to incorporate the accounting data as at June 30th, 2021 and, subsequently, in order to extend the related time frame to the period 2022-2026 as well as in order to take into account some aspects, including the performances recorded in the year 2021 and some prudential elements in the plan years (the "Updated Business Plan");
• on July 14th, 2021, The Board of Directors of the Company approved a moratorium agreement and standstill ("Standstill Agreement"), at the end of the negotiation process with banks. The Standstill Agreement signed on August 5th,2021, provides the suspension until December 31st, 2021, of some of the original Restructuring Agreement obligations, including the obligations to meet the financial covenants on the next test dates and the obligation to repay certain instalments debts falling due the relevant period. According to the Standstill

Agreement, the updated business plan has been subject to an independent business review by a primary advisor;

• on December 22nd, 2021, in the context of the above mentioned discussions, the guidelines of a possible new financial restructuring proposal were illustrated to the Group's financing banks, together with a request submitted to the financing banks in order to extend from December 31st, 2021 to April 30th, 2022, the duration of the Standstill Agreement. However, the parties have continued the relevant negotiations in relation to the new financial restructuring proposal, and are operating under a "de facto" standstill regime, as evidenced by the fact that the financing banks not only have not to date exercised (nor expressed their intention to exercise) the remedies provided for in the Restructuring Agreement, but in addition to pursuing the aforementioned negotiations on the new hypothesis of financial restructuring proposal, they continued to support the Group by not reducing the utilisation of the credit lines and by allowing the issuance of certain guarantees identified as urgent by the Company in the context of the projects to which the Group companies are party, and by continuing to make cash credit lines available;
• on June 29th, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company examined and approved the draft separate and consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31st , 2021;
• on August 11th, 2022, the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company approved the separate financial statement at December 31st, 2021, and appointed the new Board of Directors for the three-year period 2022-2024;
