DIRECTORS' EXPLANATORY REPORT ON THE FIRST AND ONLY ITEM ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDER'S MEETING SCHEDULED ON 20 MARCH 2025 IN A SINGLE CALL

ITEM NO. 1 ON THE AGENDA - Proposal to amend Articles 13, 14, 15, 19 and 24 of the Company's Bylaws. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

the Board of Directors convened you in an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to discuss and resolve on the proposed amendment of certain clauses of Moncler's bylaws (the Bylaws) with the aim of, (i) modifying the minimum number of members of the Board of Directors and the procedures for electing Directors from minority lists, as well as specifying the authority for appointing the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, (ii) updating certain provisions of the Bylaws, also in light of the recently introduced legislation on sustainability and (iii) providing procedures for holding meetings of the corporate bodies that ensure greater flexibility.

This Report, prepared in accordance with Art. 125-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, and following amendments (the Consolidated Law on Finance) and Art. 84ter of the Regulation implementing the Consolidated Law on Finance in respect of issuers' governance, adopted by Consob with Resolution No. 11971 of May 14, 1999, as amended and supplemented (the Issuers' Regulation) and in compliance with the provisions of Annex 3A, Schedule 3, of the Issuers' Regulation, illustrates the proposed amendments and the reasons behind them.

AMENDMENT OF ART. 13, PARAGAPHS 1 AND 3

It is proposed to:

  • a) Reduce the minimum number of Directors composing the Board of Directors from 9 to 7;
  • b) provide that only shareholders that own the minimum shareholding established, from time to time, by Consob may submit lists for the appointment of the Board, eliminating the statutory reference to the 2,5% threshold (which, in the current wording, is in any case replaced, if different, by the threshold established by Consob);
  • c) amend the procedures for the election of the Board of Directors with specific reference to the appointment of Directors drawn from the minority list, providing, in particular, that (i) in the case of a Board of Directors composed of 7 to 12 members, 1 Director shall be drawn from the minority list, while (ii) in the case of a Board of Directors composed of more than 12 members, not only 1, but 2 Directors shall be drawn from the minority list, if the minority list contains candidates of different gender in the first two places, in order to make the composition of the administrative body more equitable in respect of minority representation and always taking into account the gender balance (provided that in the event that the minority list contains only 1 candidate or several candidates all of the same gender or several candidates, even of different genders, without however complying with the above requirement, 1 Director shall be drawn from the minority list).

The Board of Directors believes that the proposed changes are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders in order to strengthen Moncler's governance, aligning its structure of assets with the best-in-class companies nationally and internationally.

.

AMENDMENT OF ART. 14 PARAGRAPH 1

With this amendment, it is proposed to clarify that if the Shareholders' meeting does not do so, the Chairman and Vice-Chairman shall be appointed by the Board of Directors itself choosing between its members, following its own appointment, thus specifying what is provided under Art. 2380bis, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code.

CURRENT TEXT PROPOSED AMENDMENT

AMENDMENT TO ART. 15 PARAGRAPHS 2 AND 3

The amendment concerns the possibility of further facilitating and making more flexible the management and conduct of the Board of Directors' meetings, in line with the recent practice in the context of the health emergency caused by the spread of Covid-19. Specifically, it is proposed to introduce in the Bylaws provisions that would allow meetings to be held exclusively by telecommunication means, omitting the indication of the physical location of the meeting, and thus allow the Board of Directors' meetings to be held with the participation of each participant, including the Chairman and Secretary, connected by telecommunication means.

These proposed amendments are in line with the regulations and the abovementioned practices established during the emergency period, as well as with what the Notarial Council of Milan indicated in its guidelines No. 187 and 200. In the first guideline, in fact, the Notarial Council clarifies that the presence of the Chairman and the subject who verbalizes the minutes together in the same place where the meeting is convened is not to be considered as a necessary condition for the use of telecommunication means in order to hold the shareholders' meetings, and that this principle is also applicable to meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors. In the second guideline, on the other hand, the Notarial Council considers as legitimate the clauses in the bylaws that expressly grant the administrative body the power to omit the indication of a physical place of holding the shareholders' meeting if it is held exclusively through telecommunication means; in this case too, the Notarial Council considers the principle applicable also to the meetings of the other corporate bodies, with particular regard to the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

AMENDMENT TO ART. 19

It is proposed to add paragraph 5 to Article 19 of the Bylaws in order to properly implement and fulfill the obligations arising from the recent legislation on corporate sustainability statement introduced by Legislative Decree No. 125 of 6 September 2024 in implementation of Directive 2022/2464/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022, amending Regulation 537/2014/EU, Directive 2004/109/EC, Directive 2006/43/EC and Directive 2013/34/EU, by which, in particular, Art. 154-bis was introduced into the Consolidated Law on Finance.

The Board of Directors proposes to amend the statutory regulation set forth in the Bylaws with reference to (i) the submission of lists for the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors and (ii) the manner of holding meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors by means of telecommunication, by virtue of the same reasons already stated above in relation to the proposed amendments to Art. 15 of the Bylaws.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

The amendments to the Bylaws provided in the proposal illustrated in this Report, according to the Board of Directors, if approved, would not give the Shareholders who do not concur in its approval the right of withdrawal, as they do not constitute the elements of any of the cases of withdrawal provided for by mandatory law provisions.

The proposed amendments to the Bylaws set out in this Report were approved by the Board of Directors on 13 February 2025.
