Except as stated in this press release, all other terms and procedures of the Offers set forth in the Offer Document remain unchanged.

* * *

It should be recalled that, as already stated in the Offer Document, if, at conclusion of the Offer on Shares, the Offeror comes to hold Shares, as a result of the acceptances to the Offer on Shares during the Tender Period including the extension - and/or purchases of Shares made by the Offeror and/or the Persons Acting in Concert outside the Offer on Shares - also taking into account the stakes held by the Persons Acting in Concert - a total participation of more than 90% but less than 95% of the Issuer's share capital on that date, the Offeror will not restore the free float and will fulfil its obligation to purchase the remaining Shares from the Issuer's shareholders who so request, resulting in the Delisting, pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2 of the CFA.

It should be noted that Borsa Italiana will order the delisting of the Issuer's Shares from trading on Euronext Growth Milan (i.e., will operate the Delisting) as of the stock market trading day following the day of payment of the consideration for the Purchase Obligation pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the CFA (i.e., upon the occurrence of the conditions of the Purchase Obligation pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the CFA, taking into account the timeframe for the execution of the Squeeze-out Right pursuant to Article 111 of the CFA).

As a result, in the event that the Offeror waives the Warrant Threshold Condition, where the Shares are Delisted, Borsa Italiana will arrange for the delisting of the Issuer's Warrants from trading on Euronext Growth Milan as a consequence of the ceasing of trading in the underlying securities, pursuant to the Euronext Growth Milan Regulation. In the event of Delisting, Warrants holders who decide not to accept the Warrant Offers will retain the right to exercise the Warrants and receive Conversion Shares not admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Milan under the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrants Regulation, resulting in the difficulty

of liquidating their investment, it being understood that there will be no reference price of the Shares to compare with the price of exercise of the Warrants.
