Eligibility to attend and vote

All crediting or debiting of the accounts subsequent to said date have no relevance for the right to exercise the right to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. Those who are found to own the shares only after that date, based on the records made on the accounts, will not be entitled to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. The communication from the authorised intermediary must be received by Banca Ifis Corporate Affairs, at the registered office, by the end of the third trading day preceding the day set for the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. by 14 April 2025). However, the right to attend and vote remains unaffected in case the notice is received by the Company after the above-mentioned deadline, provided that it is received before the beginning of the meeting's single call.

Within the aforementioned time limit (i.e.16 April 2025), the proxy and voting instructions can always be revoked in the same way as they were granted.

Right to ask questions

Pursuant to Art. 127-ter of the TUF, those who have the right to vote may ask questions on the items on the agenda before the Shareholders' Meeting. Applications must be received by the Banca Ifis Corporate Affairs, at the company's registered office, during office hours (9 am - 1 pm / 2 pm - 5 pm), no later than 8 April 2025 inclusive, the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting, and may be sent, together with the communication issued by an authorised intermediary certifying the ownership of the shares by the applicant, to the certified email address segreteria@bancaifis.legalmail.it which also receives ordinary e-mails. The Company does not guarantee a reply to applications received after this deadline.

Those who attest to ownership of shares on the date of application are entitled to a response. For this purpose, a certification, effective until the aforementioned date, issued by the depositary intermediary, attesting the ownership of the shares by the applicant, must be produced, also after the filing of the application, provided that it is within the third day following the record date (i.e. by 11 April 2025). However, the notice is not necessary if the Company receives the notice from the intermediary required for participation in the Shareholders' Meeting. In the event that the shareholder has requested from its depository intermediary the notice of entitlement to attend the Shareholders' Meeting, it will be sufficient to include in the request the references of such notice that may have been issued by the authorised intermediary.

In order to facilitate the organisation of the answers, the questions shall contain the reference to the page number of the explanatory report drawn up by the Board of Directors pursuant to Art. 125-ter of the TUF or any other document made available to the Meeting. Only applications strictly pertinent to the items on the agenda will be taken into consideration.

Questions duly submitted and received by the above deadline will be answered at the latest within three trading days prior to the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. by 14 April 2025) by means of publication on the Company's website www.bancaifis.it, section "About us/Corporate Governance/Shareholders' meeting" (https://www.bancaifis.it/chi-siamo/corporategovernance/azionariato/). No response will be due if the information requested is already made available by the Company on its website, in the section "About us/Corporate Governance/Shareholders' meeting" (https://www.bancaifis.it/chi-siamo/corporategovernance/azionariato/), or if the reply has already been published. Questions with the same content may be answered as one. Questions that are not pertinent to the agenda will not be

answered.

Additions to the agenda and presentation of new resolution proposals

Pursuant to Art. 126-bis of the TUF, shareholders that individually or jointly represent at least one fortieth of the share capital may ask, within ten days of publication of this call notice (i.e. by 18 January 2025), to supplement the list of items on the agenda to be discussed, indicating in that request the additional matters proposed; they may also present proposals for resolution on items already on the agenda.

The application, together with the communication certifying the ownership of the shareholding and a copy of an identity document (for natural persons) or of the documentation certifying the relevant powers (for legal entities), must be submitted in writing and delivered to the Corporate Affairs, at the registered office of the Bank, during office hours (9 am - 1 pm / 2 pm - 5 pm), or sent by certified e-mail to the address segreteria@bancaifis.legalmail.it, together with the report indicated below as well as the certifications, issued by an authorised intermediary, certifying the possession of at least 2,5% of the capital and indicating the shareholding right that can be exercised.

Any additions to the agenda or the presentation of further proposals for resolutions on items already on the agenda will be notified, in the same form prescribed by law for the notice of call, at least fifteen days before the date set for the Meeting (i.e. by 2 April 2025).

Shareholders who request the integration of the list of items to be discussed or submit proposals for resolutions on items already on the agenda shall prepare a report containing the reasons for the proposals for resolutions on the new items they propose to discuss, or the reasons for further proposals for resolutions: this report shall be sent to the Board of Directors by the deadline for submitting the related request, as indicated above. The report will be made available to the public, accompanied by any assessments by the Board of Directors, at the same time as the publication of the notice of supplementation of the agenda or the presentation of further proposals for resolution in the manner prescribed by law.

Given that participation in the Shareholders' Meeting is permitted exclusively through the Designated Representative, for the sole purpose of this Meeting, those who have the right to vote may submit individually to the Company resolution proposals on the items of the agenda pursuant to Art. 126-bis, paragraph 1, penultimate sentence of the TUF - well in advance and, in any case, by 2 April 2025. The aforementioned proposals, clearly and completely formulated, must be sent to the Company by the aforementioned deadline in the manner indicated above. Such proposals, if any, must indicate the text of the proposed resolution and the personal data of the applicant, as well as information concerning the ownership of the shares and the related voting right. In order to allow all shareholders to know the individual proposals that will be submitted and to give their voting instructions to the Designated Representative also on the same, the Company shall publish by 3 April 2025 on its website www.bancaifis.it, section "About us/Corporate Governance/Shareholders' meeting" (https://www.bancaifis.it/chi-siamo/corporategovernance/azionariato/) the aforementioned proposals, reserving the right to verify - for the purpose of publication - their relevance with respect to the items on the agenda, their completeness, their compliance with the applicable regulations, as well as the legitimacy of the proposers.

For the purposes of the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to verify the relevance of the proposals with respect to the items on the agenda, their completeness and their compliance with

applicable regulations, as well as the legitimacy of the proposers.
