The Annual General Meeting of the 18th of April 2023 approved the "2022-2024 Medium-Long Term Variable Incentive Plan" (following also the "LTI Plan").
The purpose of the LTI Plan is to keep supporting and strengthening the link between the Company (and its subsidiaries) and the directors and key resources, promoting the alignment of the interests of the people involved (the "Beneficiaries") to the priority goal of creating value for the Company's shareholders in the medium-long term, and focusing the Beneficiaries' attention on strategic factors.
It is based on the performance measured by Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) achieved in a referenced two-years "vesting" period and identifying the guidelines of a rolling plan based on three different cycles starting each year in 2022, 2023 and 2024 (with a deferral payout period that stretches the LTI Plan up to 2028).
The allotment of the bonus pool will have a pay-out in cash (up-front 70%) and a deferred payment in shares (30%) according to the Company performances measured by means of the ROCE, the hedging effectiveness, the daily G&A cost reduction, the daily Direct Operating Costs reduction, the reduction of the CO2perton-miles for the managed vessels; the performance measured by the means of those KPIs will be then "adjusted" by the result of the Total Shareholder Return - TSR benchmarked with three main listed companies in the tanker's industry.
The DIS shares serving the 2022-2024 Medium-Long Term Variable Incentive Plan, the amount of which will depend on the amount of the bonus to be paid and the average value of the DIS shares

to be determined, are those own shares currently held in the Company's portfolio.
The beneficiaries were identified - on the unquestionable assessment and discretion of the Board of Directors – from among the executive directors of the Company and the employees and consultants of the Company and/or its subsidiaries holding strategic responsibilities in (or for) the group heading d'Amico International Shipping S.A., and whose continuation in the company must be supported with a view to creating value.
Further details on the methods and procedures of the 2022-2024 Medium- Long Term Variable Incentive Plan can be found on the Company's Website in the relevant information document, drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Art. 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and in the 2024 General Remuneration Policy (included in the Report on Remunerations).

Shareholders of the Company remain subject to disclosure and reporting obligations of transparency in force in Luxembourg.
Under the Luxembourg law, to which the Company is subject by reason of its incorporation in Luxembourg, the shareholders of the Company are bound by the applicable provisions of the Transparency Law. Pursuant to the latter, a natural or legal person holder of voting shares, of certificates representing voting shares or of financial instruments giving an entitlement to buy voting shares of the Company, must file a notification both to the Company and to CSSF in case the percentage of voting rights held in the Company reaches, exceeds or falls below the following thresholds: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 33 1/3%, 50% and 66 2/3%, following the purchase or sale of voting shares of the Company as well as the increase or decrease of the total amount of voting shares or share capital in the Company. Such notification must be filed promptly, but no later than four trading days after the date on which the shareholder, or the natural person or legal entity (a) learns of the acquisition or disposal or of the possibility of exercising voting rights, or on which, having regard to the circumstances, should have learned of it, regardless of the date on which the acquisition, disposal or possibility of exercising voting rights takes effect; or (b) is informed about the event changing the breakdown of voting rights. The notification shall be addressed to the Company and to the CSSF in compliance with the applicable provisions. The content of the notification will be made public by the Company upon its receipt but no later than three Luxembourg trading days thereafter. The Transparency Law allows postponement of shareholders' general meetings if the above-mentioned notification is made within fifteen (15) days prior to such a meeting.

The Company's fully owned operative subsidiary entered into some financing agreements whose terms and conditions may be influenced/modified by a change of control in DIS.
The Company falls within the ambit of the Luxembourg Takeover Law. By application of its art. 4, paragraph 2, clause b) and pursuant to art. 101-ter of the TUF, the authority competent to supervise a takeover bid on the shares of the Company will be the Italian regulating authority, CONSOB.
Italian law is the governing law as to (i) the price of the bid; (ii) the procedure of the bid and, in particular, the information on the offerors' decision to make a bid; (iii) the contents of the offer document and (iv) the disclosure of the bid.
Pursuant to the combined provisions of the Luxembourg Takeover Law and the CSSF Circular no. 06/258, the Luxembourg supervisory authority (the "Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier" - CSSF) is competent (and therefore the applicable law is Luxembourg law) on issues related to the information that must be provided to the employees of the Company and on everything pertaining to company law, in particular the percentage of voting rights that confers control and any derogation from the obligation to launch a takeover bid, as well as the conditions upon the occurrence of which the Company's Board of Directors may take any action that may directly or indirectly prevent the takeover bid.
The Company is also subject to the Luxembourg law of 21 July 2012 on the squeeze -out and sell-out of securities of companies admitted or having been admitted to trading on a regulated market or which have been subject to a public offer and the CSSF Circular 12/545 if any individual or legal entity, acting alone or in concert with another, becomes the owner directly or indirectly of a number of Shares representing at least 95% of the voting share capital and 95% of the voting rights of the Company.
The Articles of Association do not make any reference to the takeover bid procedure, therefore, the Takeover Law is deemed directly and entirely applicable, according to which:

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 15 of 82
2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
securities as well as any restrictions on voting rights and/or any exceptional voting right entitlements shall cease to be enforceable upon a takeover bid (breakthrough rule).
The extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Company held on 13 June 2023 (the "ESHM"), lastly amended art. 5 of the Articles of Association with effect as of 19 June 2023, reducing the number of shares issued of the Company from the existing 1,241,065,569 to 1,241,065,560, without reducing the share capital of the Company and consequently confirming the amount of DIS total issued share capital at USD 62,053,278.45 divided into no. 124,106,556 shares with no nominal value as an effect of the reverse stock split operation of all the Company's shares in the ratio of no. 1 (one) every n. 10 (ten) as approved by the same ESHM and resolved by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the relevant authorization conferred by the aforementioned ESHM which established its effectiveness on 19 June 2023 date on which the notarial deed acknowledging the effectiveness of the Company's Articles of Association, as amended on 13 June 2023, was signed.
In connection with and as a consequence of the new share capital of the Company, the ESHM further resolved (i) to accordingly amend the authorized share capital of the Company, with effect as of 19 June 2023, from an amount of USD 87,500,000 divided into no. 1,750,000,000 shares with no nominal value to an amount of USD 87,500,000 divided into no. 175,000,000 shares with no nominal value and (ii) to renew, for a period ending five (5) years from 19 June 2023 (therefore until 19 June 2028), the relevant Board of Directors' authorization to, inter alia, increase the issued capital up to the maximum amount of the authorized capital and to remove or limit the statutory preferential subscription right of the shareholders.
Following the above amendment, the Articles of Association permit the Board of Directors the issuance of new shares within the limits of the authorised share capital of the Company (USD 87,500,000) in one or several successive tranches, for any reasons whatsoever including for defensive reasons following, as the case may be, the exercise of subscription and/or conversion rights that may be granted by the Board of Directors (which may be separate or attached to shares, bonds, notes or similar instruments), convertible bonds, notes or similar instruments issued from time to time by the Company.
The new shares may be issued with or without share premium, against payment in cash or in kind, by conversion of claims on the Company or in any other manner.
The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the amount, the place and date of the issue or the successive issues, the issue price, the terms and conditions of the subscription of and paying

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 16 of 82
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
up of the new shares. Moreover, it can remove or limit the preferential subscription rights of the Shareholders in case of issue against payment in cash of shares, warrants (which may be separate or attached to shares, bonds, notes or similar instruments), convertible bonds, notes or similar instruments, considering the fact that pre-emption rights do not apply in case of share capital increase by means of a contribution in kind.
The said Board of Directors' authorization may be renewed by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.
The ESHM also renewed the authorization to the Board of Directors to effect repurchases and disposals of Company own shares during a period of five (5) years from 19 June 2023, for a maximum number of no. 18,615,795 shares of the Company, including the own shares already repurchased. Such repurchases and disposals shall be carried out within a price range from a price per share not lower to a price per share not higher than 10% the shares' official price reported in the trading session on the day before carrying out each individual transaction. As a result of the aforesaid resolution, the ESHM acknowledged that the authorization to the Board of Directors to repurchase the Company's own shares granted on 20 April 2021 for a period of 5 years, and therefore until 20 April 2026, terminated with effect as of 19 June 2023.
The ESHM approved the minimum and maximum price for the buy-back of own shares in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, as follows:
The ESHM identified the following buy-back purposes:
➢ to constitute - in conformity with the market practices accepted or to be implemented in the future on the Italian regulated market - a reserve for treasury shares ("inventory of treasury shares") which may be used as a means of payment, exchange, transfer, contribution, assignment or other action of disposal within the framework of transactions linked to the Company and its subsidiaries' operation and of any projects constituting an effective opportunity of investment in line with the strategic policy of the Company. This includes agreements with strategic partners, acquisition of shareholdings or shares' packages or other transactions of extraordinary finance that imply the allocation or assignment of own shares (such as mergers, demergers, issuance of convertible debentures or warrants, etc.) and more widely for any purposes as may be permitted under applicable laws and regulations in force , by way of example but not limited to, putting the Company in a position to offer some or

all own shares for distribution to directors, officers or employees of the Company, its subsidiaries' and controlling companies', whether or not pursuant to the implementation of a stock option plan that may be approved and/or amended from time to time by the Company;
The Board of Directors held on 14 June 2023 resolved to start on the 19 June 2023 the buyback program pursuant to the Shareholders' authorization of 13 June 2023 with the purpose of assigning the own shares to the constitution of an "inventory of treasury shares".
The Company also confirmed the assignment to coordinate and execute the operations on treasury shares to an independent investment company, Equita SIM S.p.A., which will operate in full independence also with regard to the timing of the shares' purchases and disposals, in compliance with the provisions of the applicable legislation and of the aforementioned ESHM resolution.
The Board of Directors also entrusted the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer to modify the buy-back program in the framework of the authorization issued by the Shareholders and carrying out any related fulfilments in order to implement the resolution according to the applicable laws and regulations and to be in compliance with any disclosure obligations.
As of 31 December 2024, the Company held no. 5,030,132 own shares (corresponding to 4.05% of the total amount of the share capital on that date).
The Company is not subject to the Italian laws requiring certain steps in case of an ascertained or de facto status implying exposure to the management and coordination activity of a controlling company nor the management and coordination activity of its indirect controlling company has any influence under the terms of applicable Luxembourg corporate law.

Finally, it is noted that:
The Company, which has been incorporated on 9 February 2007 in Luxembourg, is organized and governed in compliance with the Luxembourg laws and since its listing on 3 May 2007 on the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange (Euronext Milan) is also subject to disclosure obligations related to corporate actions and periodic information as established both by the Luxembourg laws and the Italian laws as applicable from time to time. Since its listing, moreover the Company has decided to generally comply with the principles and recommendations of the Italian Corporate Governance Code (available in its latest version at www.borsaitaliana.it) being the implementation of some of its principles and recommendations essentials to remain listed on the Euronext STAR Milan segment. The legal provisions applicable due to the Company's incorporation in Luxembourg may affect the Company's corporate governance structure. If, with regard to specific issues, the system of corporate governance of the Company moves away from the abovementioned recommendations and practices, the Report will outline the specific reasons for each deviation as well as the appropriate information in respect thereof according to the principle of the prevalence of substance over formality. The strategically important Subsidiary (d'Amico Tankers d.a.c, as identified according to art. 151 of Consob Regulation on Issuers) is governed by the Irish lex societatis, which does not affect anyway the Corporate Governance structure of the Company. As from 20 November 2023 the Company's securities are cross-traded on the OTCQX Best Market in the US. OTCQX enables certain global companies to better access and support U.S. investors and distribute information in the U.S. public markets without the complexity and cost of a traditional U.S. exchange listing. The Company was considered in compliance with the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 12g3-2(b) which provides relief to foreign private issuers, allowing their securities to be traded on an over-the-counter market (including OTCQX) without having to register under the Securities Exchange Act.

Directors.
The Board of Directors is vested with broad powers to perform any action necessary or useful for accomplishing the Company's object, values and mission with the ultimate purpose of creating sustainable success and value for its Shareholders, providing strategic guidance of the Company and control of operations with powers to direct the business as a whole and intervening in a series of decisions necessary to promote the Company's purpose and the transparency of operational decisions within the Company and in relation to the market.
On these purposes, among the powers and tasks entrusted to it by the Articles of Association, the applicable laws and regulations and the best practice, the following are especially noteworthy:

Transactions with Related Parties) as identified in the Company's Rules of Procedure governing Material Transactions with Related Parties restated and approved by the Board of Directors in its meeting of 9 March 2023 (see the Rules as published in the corporate governance section of the Company's Website and chapter 11 of this Report for further details). As the rule prohibiting competition is not applicable to the Company, the Shareholders' Meeting never took into consideration the possibility to preventively and generally authorize such a derogation to the rule.

as determined by the Shareholders' meeting and the splitting of this aggregate amount among all the directors (according to the Articles of Association and to the Borsa Italiana Code, the Board of Directors of 8 May 2024 resolved for the allocation of fees among the executive and independent directors upon previous positive opinion released by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, expressed with reference to the payment of the executive directors only). This aspect will be deepened in the paragraph dedicated to Remuneration Policy).
➢ Since DIS is a holding company, the key strategic decisions taken by its Board of Directors include the short term and long term compensation (LTI Plan) of the key executives of the Group, the sectors in which the d'Amico Group operates and capital allocation including investments in its subsidiaries, dividend distributions and shares' buyback as well as the d'Amico Group's ESG Plan.
The Board of Directors on 13 November 2019 upon proposal of the Chairman and CEO resolved to approve some amendments to the Internal Regulation governing of inside information and the set-up of a list of people who have access to inside information in consideration of the fact that the Company practice has evidenced the need to better define the role of the Managers 2 and of the Management in the identification of the Inside Information excluding any duty and relevant responsibility of the Managers in the definition of the price sensitivity of the information such definition being solely a competence of the Management identified in the Chairman and CEO and/or the CFO. The Management (autonomously or upon the request of the Manager) evaluates and establishes if a relevant information fulfils the requisites established by art. 7 of the MAR to become Inside Information and informs those Managers that, due to their function, are in possession of the Inside Information. The Management, while evaluating the price sensitivity of the information, may liaise with the Legal Department Function. The Company recently reviewed all the documentation related to the management of inside information in order to reflect changes in the internal organization and strengthen the controls related to market abuse crimes. In that respect, a project was launched for the structuring of an integrated compliance system for the mapping and management of privileged information. Currently the Company is reviewing its internal regulation governing inside information and the set-up of a list of people who have access to inside information taking also in consideration the amendments to MAR introduced by the Regulation (EU) 2024/2809 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024.
In line with the ESG framework, the Company defines specific business-related sustainable goals through technological investments resolved by the operative Irish wholly owned subsidiary aimed at improving the fleet energy efficiency. All other ESG activities and the related obtained results are measured by specific KPIs reported in the Sustainability Statement within DIS Annual Report. Furthermore, DIS – in line with the requirements – is always committed to implement and

consolidate its activities and its KPIs for achieving a sustainable success. In 2024 Annual Report, DIS has updated the double materiality analysis focusing on its Value Chain. For more information, please refer to the section "Double Materiality Assessment" in the Sustainability Statement within DIS Annual Report.
For more information, please refer to the section "Corporate Governance Statement" (paragraphs "Board of Directors" and "Other governance Bodies") in the Management Report and the section "ESG Governance" in the Sustainability Statement within DIS Annual Report.
Furthermore, on 31 July 2018, the Company adopted the aforementioned Diversity Policy in relation to the composition of the management and control bodies with regard to aspects such as age, gender composition, disability or educational and professional background. For more specific information on diversity please refer to chapter 5.3 of the Report.
Also, DIS continues to adhere to the d'Amico Group wider Integrated Management System where, during the Financial Year, all the relevant procedures were constantly monitored and, where necessary, updated by the involved functions in order to align them to the sustainability goals.
In 2023, updates were made to the Investor Relations and communication procedures to further enhance and promote the dialogue with the Company's shareholders. During its meeting on 11 May 2023 the Board of Directors duly approved a policy governing the management of the dialogue with the Company's current and/or potential shareholders, which is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's Website. It is intention of the Company to continue improving such dialogue in the future, taking into account the stakeholders' engagement especially with respect to DIS ESG goals, for example promoting public attention towards social, cultural and environmental topics. The Company constantly maps its stakeholders by distinguishing them in different categories, detects their needs and expectations and the related actions to be taken. The Board is periodically informed of the developments of the shareholders' dialogue by the Chief Executive Officer, who coordinates it.
It is however important to underline that, being DIS a Company with Concentrated Ownership, usually most of the dialogue with the Shareholders takes place during the roadshows or in the occasion of the Shareholders' Meetings.
Regarding the appointment procedure, the Company complies with the provisions of the Luxembourg laws and regulations, with the Articles of Association and, consistently with the above, with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code not being subject to the TUF provisions in terms of independence requirements or to other specific rules as regards the Board composition including those of art. 16 of the Consob Regulation on Markets.

In particular, the appointment of directors is regulated by a transparent procedure which ensures, among others, timely and adequate information on personal and professional qualifications of candidates. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee performs a useful coordination, consultative and advisory role supporting the Board of Directors in the definition of the Board's optimal size and in the identification of the Board's best composition, indicating the professional skills whose presence may favour a correct and effective functioning having regard also to the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code. The Nomination Committee performs a role also in case any member of the Board of Directors needs to be co-opted.
The Articles of Association establish that the annual general meeting of Shareholders elects members for a period not exceeding six (6) consecutive years and does not specify any requirements of independence, honourability and professionalism for Board members. However, when appointed, each director signs and provides the Company with a declaration in which he /she confirms to have the legal capacity to exercise his/her rights and perform his/her obligations as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and not having been banned from acting as director of a company in Luxembourg or abroad. In addition, directors who are classified as independent sign a declaration of independence in accordance with the requirements of Art. 3 of the Corporate Governance Code and to what established by the Company in terms of relevant triggering thresholds.
Members are eligible for re-election and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by means of a resolution of a general meeting of Shareholders. In case of a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors itself may appoint a new direc tor, provided that the next following general Shareholders' meeting confirm such appointment (co-optation).
The "several list of candidates mechanism" for appointment of directors recommended by the Corporate Governance Code is not applicable to the Company where, according to Luxembourg companies' law, the Board of Directors itself proposes a list of candidates upon specific advice received by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, by virtue of the Company's internal policy.
Due to the highly concentrated ownership of the Company and since the Company already benefits from the services of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, which plays a key advisory role in identifying the optimal composition of the administrative body, for the time being the Board of Directors has not adopted a formal plan for the succession of its executive directors who were lastly appointed for a three-year period in 2024 and whose mandate is going to expire with the meeting of shareholders approving the 2026 financial statements. The Company confirms its intention to continue following this approach.
In order to ensure the continuity of the work of the Board of Directors, including in case a member needs to be replaced before the end of his/her term, the Board of Directors constantly monitors potential internal and external candidates.

For more specific information on the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors' role in the process of self-evaluation, appointment and substitution of Directors please refer to chapter 9 of the Report.
Pursuant to Luxembourg Law on Commercial Companies and in accordance with the Articles of Association established that the Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors composed of no less than three (3) members, who do not need to be shareholders. The general meeting of Shareholders is entitled to determine the number of board members in office from time to time. The Company's annual Shareholders' meeting held on 23 April 2024 determined the increase of the number of the members of the Board from six (6) to nine (9) further setting the number of members of the Board at nine (9) and renewed the composition of the Board re-appointing all the former members and newly appointing three (3) further non-executive members for a term of office that will end with the annual Shareholders' meeting called to approve the Company's 2026 financial statements.
As the "several list vote system" is not applicable, the Company's annual meeting of Shareholders held on 23 April 2024 assessed the single list submitted by the Board of Directors according to the applicable law and containing the following names of candidates who were then all elected with 81,480,035 votes in favour, 78 votes against and no abstentions being: Mr. Paolo d'Amico, Mr. Cesare d'Amico, Mr. Antonio Carlos Balestra di Mottola, Mr. Tom Loesch, Mr. Marcel C. Saucy, Mrs. Monique I.A. Maller, Mr. Lorenzo d'Amico, Mrs. Antonia d'Amico and Mr. Massimiliano della Zonca.
At the end of the Financial Year the Board of Directors consists of nine (9) directors, of whom three (3) are executive and six (6) are non-executive of whom three (3) are independent.
The number of independent directors was carefully assessed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The number of three (3) independent directors was deemed adequate with reference to the size of the Board of Directors and the Company's business 3 . All the independent directors, have confirmed their independent status.
The reason for the occurred increase of the number of members of the Board as suggested, on the occasion of the last renewal of the Board, comes from the indication of professionals with specific competence, managerial and international experience belonging to the legal, shipping,
3 It should be noted that, according to the Rules of the Markets Organized and Managed by Borsa Italiana, Art. 2.2.3. ("Additional requirements for shares to qualify as STAR shares"), "Borsa Italiana shall establish criteria in the Instructions for evaluating the adequacy of the number of independent directors". To clarify the meaning of 'adequate' the Instructions on the Rules of the Markets Organized and Managed by Borsa Italiana, in IA.2.10.6, state: "The number of independent directors referred to in Article 2.2.3(3)(m) of the Regulation is considered adequate when there are - at least 2 independent directors for boards of directors consisting of up to 8 members; at least 3 independent directors for boards of directors consisting of 9 up to 14 members [...]".

financial, insurance, ESG, accounting and risk management sectors. In fact, the newly appointed non-executive directors are an expert in Health, Quality, Safety and Environmental policies (Antonia d'Amico), whose profile fully reflects the needs of an expert on ESG subjects that emerged from the last self-assessment procedure of the Board of Directors of the Company, a field of competence not covered by the previous members of the Board of Directors; an expert (with almost 20 years' experience) in the shipping industry (Lorenzo d'Amico), whose profile fully reflects the needs of a non-executive expert on shipping activities that emerged from the last self-assessment procedure of the Board of Directors of the Company and a lawyer specialized in Italian companies' law and International tax law (Massimiliano della Zonca), with over 15 years of experience, a field of competence not currently covered by the members of the Board of Directors. It is recalled that the re-appointed non-executive directors are a solicitor (Mr. Tom Loesch) with experience of listed companies and specialized in corporate, M&A and financial markets (equity) law; an expert in accounting, tax and payroll administration with experience of Luxembourg based companies (Mrs. Monique Maller); and an expert in corporate finance and investment management focused on transactions for shipping companies involving different levels of the capital structure (Mr. Marcel Saucy). The three confirmed executive members are all representatives of the principal owners being members of the d'Amico family which ultimately controls the Company being a company with Concentrated Ownership other than a Large Company. The current Board of Directors is composed of executives and non-executives directors all equipped with professionalism and skills appropriate to the tasks entrusted to them. In particular, the number and skills of non-executives are such as to ensure them a significant weight in the adoption of Board resolutions and also to guarantee an effective management monitoring.
Moreover, there are three (3) executive board members and six (6) non-executive board members; there are no employees' representatives on the board; 22% of board members belong to the female gender, currently the least represented gender; 33% of board members qualif y as independent.
For more information, please refer to the section "Corporate Governance Statement" (paragraphs "Board of Directors" and "Other Governance Bodies") in the Management Report within DIS Annual Report.
On 31 July 2018 the Board of Directors of the Company decided to adopt a Diversity Policy in order to acknowledge the benefits of encouraging and managing diversity at all levels of the organization, starting from the compositions of the Board of Directors, in the belief that diverse professional backgrounds and different characteristics of the corporate population can bring ideas, innovations, understanding and solutions, thus contributing to its economic success in a sustainable way.

The promotion of diversity supports the priority aim of creating value for stakeholders in the medium to long term. The definition of diversity included in the Policy makes reference, without limitation, to age, cultural background, ethnicity and gender, physical attributes, beliefs, language, sexual orientation, education, nationality, social background and culture or other personal characteristics as well as any other form of discrimination covered by EU and national law. For more information, please refer to the section "Own workforce" in the Sustainability Statement within DIS Annual Report.
More information on the diversity policy within the entire company organization in terms of measures introduced to promote the parity of treatment and opportunities between genders and the related results which are constantly monitored can be found in the section "Diversity Policy" in the Sustainability Statement within DIS Annual Report.
Therefore, in compliance with the above-mentioned Diversity Policy and with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and the subsequent and consequent amendments introduced to Borsa Italiana Rules and Instructions, the Company, which is Luxembourg based and not subject to any law nor statutory provisions related to diversity, following a careful self-assessment carried out by the Board of Directors which accepted the opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on the matter, decided to propose for the 2024 renewal of the Board of Directors a "shortlist" of nine (9) candidates that included among the non-executive candidates two (2) members of the gender less represented. The current Board members are professionals of international caliber with specific skills in legal, shipping, financial, insurance, ESG, accounting and risk management. The Board of Directors and the Company's Committees are currently composed of members of different backgrounds, age, gender and seniority guaranteeing a variety of skills. The diversity of professional knowledge and experience ensures that the Board of Directors and the Company's Committees are well-balanced contributing to a good corporate governance.
Given the Company is not a Large sized Company and has a Concentrated Ownership, DIS is not subject to the eight recommendation of art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code. Furthermore, for strategic and business continuity considerations arising from the industry specific skills and knowledge sought in Board members, it was considered preferable not to change the composition of the Executives Board members. Notwithstanding the above, having appointed 1 independent representative and one (1) further non-executive representative of the less represented gender and being the composition of the Board limited to nine (9) members, the Company however and voluntary complies with art. 2.2.3. paragraph 3 clause m) of the Borsa Italiana Rules for companies admitted to the STAR segment which explicitly excludes the 1/3 parameter of the eight recommendations of art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.

In compliance with the Corporate Governance Code recommendations and pursuant to what provided for in art. 9 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 6 May 2008, having taken into consideration the purpose and dimension of the Company and the d'Amico Group as well as the participation of the directors of the Company in the committees established within the Board, resolved and continues to confirm that each director, so as to be able to grant an effective performance of his duties, may hold no more than fifteen (15) offices on the boards of directors and/or on the boards of auditors of other companies either listed on regulated markets (including foreign markets), or financial ones, banks, insurance companies and/or companies of a considerably large size. To this end, the Board of Directors further resolved to disregard, in the count of the global number of offices, all the companies which are members of the d'Amico Group and to consider as one all the offices held at companies belonging to a same group other than the d'Amico's one.
The following schemes evidence the composition of the Board of Directors and of the various Committees established within the Board of Directors as well as the number of relevant offices held by each of the directors in the said other companies which is consistent with the above-mentioned criteria established by the Board of Directors itself.

The Board of Directors held on 23 April 2024 resolved to confirm the appointment of Mr. Paolo d'Amico as Chairman of the Board of Directors. This choice guarantees a continuity in the Company's management, which has been led since 2007 by Mr. Paolo d'Amico. The Chairman, although not having any delegated power within the Company, is to be considered an executive director, since he exercises final indirect joint control over the Company.
According to the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors meeting held on February 23rd , 2007 established that all persons with delegated powers shall report to the Board of Directors, at least once in each quarter, on the occasion of the Board of Directors' meetings or in a written memorandum. The subject of such reports are the activities carried out, the general performance of operations and their foreseeable development, and the transactions of greatest economic, financial and equity-related significance entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries; in particular transactions in which directors have an interest, directly or on behalf of third parties, or that are influenced by the party that in fact performs management and coordination activities, if any. The reports of the delegated persons are the basis for the drafting of the reports including quarterly and annual accounting documents. The directors with delegated powers quarterly inform the Board of Directors on the activities performed in the exercise of the delegated powers, the general performance of operations and their foreseeable development and the transactions of greatest economic, financial and equity-related significance entered into by the Company or its subsidiaries.
Although not having any particular delegated powers within the Company the member of the Board of Directors Mr Cesare d'Amico is also the chairman of the board of directors of the Company's controlling entity that he ultimately jointly controls.
At the end of the Financial Year, the Board of Directors consists of nine (9) directors, of whom three (3) non-executives are also independent and are: Mr. Tom Loesch, Mr. Marcel C. Saucy and Mrs. Monique I.A. Maller. These independent directors bring their specific expertise to Board of Directors discussions and contribute to a decision making consistent with the Shareholders' interests. The number and standing of the independent directors are such that their views carry significant weight in making Board of Directors decisions.
An adequate number of independent directors is essential to protect the Shareholders' interests, particularly minority ones' and third parties' interests, assuring that potential conflicts between the

2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
Company's interests and those of the controlling Shareholder are assessed impartially. Furthermore, the contribution of independent directors is fundamental to the composition and functioning of the advisory committees entrusted to preliminarily examine and formulate proposals regarding risks. These Committees represent, indeed, one of the most effective means for fighting eventual conflicts of interest. Finally, independent directors contribute specific professional expertise to Board of Directors meetings and help it to adopt resolutions that are consistent with Company's interest.
At the end of the Financial Year the Board of Directors consists of nine (9) directors and, according to the declarations made by the parties concerned, three (3) of them qualify as independent namely, Mr Tom Loesch, Mr Marcel C. Saucy and Mrs Monique I.A. Maller. All the independent directors committed themselves to maintain the independence requisites during the entire period in office and to resign in case of lack of one of the requisites.
In line with the Corporate Governance Code provisions the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in its meetings held on 14 December 2023 and finally on 13 March 2024 considered sufficient the number and skills of independent directors, being such as to ensure that their opinion has a significant impact on the decision-making process of the Board of Directors in the best interest of the generality of Shareholders and adequate to the constitution of the relative Board's internal committees.
On the basis of the information provided by the directors concerned and the information otherwise in the Company's possession, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 23 April 2024 duly verified that those non-executive directors that qualified as independents continue satisfying the independence requirements set forth in art. 2 (recommendation 7) of the Corporate Governance Code and better defined as regards the significance quantitative and qualitative criteria by the Company Board of Directors meeting held on 11 March 2021 as confirmed on 14 March 2024 as follows:

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 43 of 82
2024

The results of the initial assessment process were disclosed to the market through a press release according to the provisions of the applicable Italian laws and regulations. Furthermore, this kind of assessment is done annually, and the result is recorded in the Corporate Governance Report. The Company does not have a board of statutory auditors and therefore no body apart from the Board of Directors was able to check the correct application of the criteria and procedures for verification of the requirements of independence. This year also, upon the approval of the Report, it can be affirmed that no existing relation involving the three (3) independent directors is such in terms of quantity and quality as to jeopardize their autonomy of judgment and nullify their independence. The independent directors were also requested to undertake to maintain their independence throughout their term of office and to duly inform the Board of Director if any one of the requirements of independence referred to in the declaration ceases to apply.
In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, since the Chairman of the Board of Directors is an executive director as well as, indirectly, one of the controlling Shareholders, the Board of Directors in its meeting of 23 April 2024, confirmed the appointment of Mr. Marcel C. Saucy as Lead Independent Director in charge of coordinating the activity and requests of the independent directors. Indeed, this position is intended to provide a point of reference and coordination for the needs and inputs of the independent directors. The Lead Independent Director may call special meetings of the independent directors in order to discuss issues related to the functioning of the Board of Directors or to the management of the business.
In compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the Company, in both Luxembourg and Italy, following the assimilation of the European Parliament and Council's Market Abuse Directive n. 2003/06/CE of 28 January 2003, the Chief Executive Officer on 8 March 2007, upon specific delegation of powers released by the Board of Directors in its meeting of 23 February 2007, set up an insider register of persons working for it or one of its subsidiaries, under an employment contract or otherwise, who, by reason of their job, professional activity or offices discharged on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries, have regularly or occasionally access to insider information serving to monitor access to and circulation of insider and confidential information prior to its disclosure to the public as well as to ensure compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory confidentiality requirements both for the Company itself and on behalf of all its subsidiaries (the "Insider Register"). The Insider Register is finalised to prevent any misuses of inside information and to avoid market abuse situation considering that transparent relations with the market and the provision of accurate, clear and complete information are standards for the conduct of the members of the governing bodies, the management and all the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
On 8 March 2007 the Chief Executive Officer, upon the same delegation of power, appointed a person in charge of the keeping of the Insider Register on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of 6 November 2007 then ratified both the setting up of the Insider Register and the appointment of the person in charge of keeping it.
The Board of Directors in its meeting held on 29 July 2008 then resolved to ratify the Insider Register Regulation, governing the keeping of the register and the internal handling and public disclosure of the inside information within the Company and its participated subsidiaries with special reference to price sensitive information, set up on the basis of the delegation conferred by the Board of Directors on 6 November 2007.
Following the entry into force of the new Regulation on Market Abuse, and in order to comply with the provisions covered by it, the Board of Directors, initially with the meeting of 28 July 2016 and then with the meeting of 2 March 2017, approved respectively the new versions of the Insider Register and the Regulation governing inside information and the set-up of a list of persons who have access to inside information, finally delegating the keeping of the Insider Register to a person outside the Company. The Regulation for the management of inside information has been lastly reviewed by the Board of Directors on 13 November 2019 in order to better align it with the Company practice. It is available at the corporate governance section of the Company's Website (https://en.damicointernationalshipping.com/media/8455/dis\_inside-information-managementrules\_13-nov-2019-per-sito-web.pdf).
The Company has recently drawn the attention of all the recipients of the Regulation for the management of insider information and for the establishment of a register of persons with access to insider information on the content of the same and on the internal procedure for keeping the Insider Register updated and available within the Group's integrated management system to which DIS has adhered.
Finally, considering that on 14 November 2024, Regulation (EU) 2024/2809 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, amending Regulation on Market Abuse and that entered into force on 4 December 2024 and will apply from 5 June 2026, with the exception of some provisions which will apply from 5 March 2026 the Company started a revision of the documentation such as regulations and procedures for the management of privileged information so as to consider both the new regulation and the structure of the Group with companies acting in service for the Company.
In order to fully comply with the applicable Luxembourg and Italian laws and with the regulations and practice governing in securities' trading of public companies, the Board of Directors, in its meeting of 3 April 2007, approved the Internal Dealing Code of the Company setting out rules that the Company and certain "key persons" are to comply with when dealing in Company's shares so as to assure the transparency of transactions involving those shares or financial instruments linked

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 45 of 82
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
thereto carried out directly or through a nominee by relevant persons or persons closely associated with relevant persons. The Internal Dealing Code is finalized to protect directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries from the serious liabilities and penalties that could arise from any breaches of the applicable laws and to prevent the appearance of improper conduct on the part of anyone employed by or associated with the Company and its Subsidiaries. According to the applicable laws, the Internal Dealing Code imposes disclosure obligation on so called "people discharging managerial responsibilities within the issuer" for the internal dealing transactions involving shares of the Company or financial instruments linked thereto.
The Internal Dealing Code was later modified on 29 July 2008, on 2 March 2017 and finally on 5 May 2022 so as to match the MAR requirements. The Internal Dealing Code is available at the Corporate Governance section of the Company's Website.
The Internal Dealing Code is under revision by the Company in order to align it to the new applicable legislation.
On 8 May 2024, in compliance with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code, the directors resolved to confirm the setting up of two committees, a Nomination and Remuneration Committee and a Control and Risk Committee. The Company once again opted for the formation of a committee to perform the duties of two committees provided for by the Corporate Governance Code, subject to the observance of the recommendations on the composition of each one, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee being composed according to the stricter rules laid down for the Remuneration Committee. This approach, the choice of which is reassessed on every Board renewal, was selected with a view to simplification and after assessing the consistency of the topics dealt with and the practices of other companies.
Each Committee is composed of the same three (3) independent directors, the majority of them having an adequate experience in accounting and finance and one of them having specific experience in payroll as assessed by the Board of Directors resolving upon their appointment. The Board of Directors has defined the composition of the Committees favouring both the independence requisites and the competence and experience of their members.
The number of independent directors is evaluated and considered adequate so as to permit the constitution of the above-mentioned Committees in relation to the total number of Board members. All the above Committees in the performance of their duties, were given a chance to have access to the necessary Company's information as well as to avail themselves of external advisors, according to the respective Internal Regulations governing their functioning, operation procedures, duties and rights thereof. The Regulations are reviewed and updated periodically and are available at the Corporate Governance section of the Website.

There are no further Board internal Committees.
As per resolution of the Directors of 8 May 2024, the setting up of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee vested with the duties referred to in the respective Committee Regulation was confirmed; the number of the Committee's members was confirmed at three (3) by the Company's Board of Directors that appointed the following independent members: Mr. Marcel C. Saucy, Mrs. Monique I.A. Maller and Mr. Tom Loesch, the latter also confirmed as Chairman of the Committee. The Committee as a whole was deemed composed of persons having adequate experience in accounting, finance and payroll.
By means of resolution of the Board of Directors of 14 March 2024, an annual expenditure budget of € 15,000.00 was confirmed for the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, this being considered appropriate in order for it to discharge its duties to assist, express opinions and make proposals to the Board of Directors with regard to:
➢ the development of the general policy for the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors and Top Managers and periodical monitoring and assessment of its adequacy and overall consistency;

Furthermore, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee reports on its activity to the Board of Directors once a year, on the occasion of the approval of the annual financial report.
During Financial Year the Nomination and Remuneration Committee held five (3) meetings duly recorded with a 100% attendance of all its appointed members and an average duration of 1.10 hour.
The Head of Human Resources department of the d'Amico Group was invited by the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to attend all the above-mentioned meetings with reference to specific items on the agenda. One meeting was attended by the external consultant entrusted for the self-assessment process and by a member of the staff of the Corporate Secretary Department duly invited by the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. All the invited people have no right to vote and the CEO was duly informed of the said participation. The statutory auditors do not participate in the Nomination and Remuneration Committee's meetings, as the Company does not have a Board of Statutory Auditors.
During such meetings, among other things, the Committee reviewed and submitted proposals to the Board of Directors with respect to:
8 According to the Corporate Governance Code, Key Managers mean senior managers who are not members of the board of directors and have the power and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the company and the group it heads.

Informal meetings were carried out with the d'Amico Group Head of Human Resources department, to receive an update on the planned activities,
All the considerations expressed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee were reported by its Chairman at the following Board of Directors' meeting. The Committee, whose meetings are all recorded in minutes, has approved a calendar of meeting for the 2025 financial year, as permitted by the relevant internal regulation. According to that, it envisages to meet at least two (2) times in 2025 and at the date of approval of the present Report one (1) meeting have been held.
During 2024, The Nomination and Remuneration Committee asked for the support of the Human Resources Department that in turn called an external consultancy firm (Deloitte Consultancy Firm) to define its remuneration policies, after having previously evaluated the independence of the chosen consultant while the consultancy firm Ambrosio Audit Stp S.r.l. was specifically appointed by the Finance department in order to carry out any necessary assessment on the figures related to the structure of the Former LTI Plan scheme and to certify the exact definition of the bonus pool payable regarding the performance of the 2022-2023 vesting period. In performing its duties, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee also had the opportunity to access the information and the business functions required to perform its tasks.
The functioning, size and composition of the Board and its Committees are the subject of a self-assessment carried out by the Board of Directors itself every three years before the Board of Directors renewal. The last assessment was carried out by the outgoing Board of Directors at the end of the 2023 Financial Year. The Board carries out a self-assessment with the goal to improve

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 49 of 82
2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
the performance and the effectiveness of the Board of Directors itself, of its committees and of the organization in general and moreover with the purpose of proposing a list of candidates for the renewal of the Board. The results of the assessment carried out with the cooperation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the coordination of the Chairman of the Board of Directors were considered by the Board of Directors held on 14 March 2024 who resolved for a positive assessment upon previous opinion released by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and further proposal of a list of directors for the renewal of the Board of Directors.
The evaluation has been carried out in line with the international best practice and in particular with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code and lastly according to the newly approved Policy on the process of Self-Assessment of the Board of Directors and the Internal Committees.
The assessment process according to the policy is carried out in several stages:

2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
Directors a list indicating those managerial and professional profiles deemed appropriate for the composition of the Board.
7) The report of the Board is then published on the Website together with the shareholders' meeting convening notice in compliance with the applicable laws
The self-assessment Policy aims at providing for the Board of Directors to be able to identify any necessary or appropriate corrective actions following the self-assessment activity. The Policy clearly states that the procedure shall be coordinated by an external consultant in order to ensure and strengthen the adequacy of the process itself in a fair and independent way. The external consultant is identified by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors Regulation makes reference to the self-assessment activity as a process to be conducted at least once in a three years' mandate term and the involvement of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is also specified in the Committee's Regulation.
Due to its being a non-Large Company with Concentrated Ownership according to the definition of the Corporate Governance Code and considering that the Company already benefits from the services of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, which plays a central advisory and propositional role in identifying the optimal composition of the administrative body the Board of Directors considered it not a priority to adopt a formal succession plan since the continuity and stability of management is ensured by the reconfirmation of management by the controlling shareholder. The Company also confirms that the Board of Directors is regularly updated by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on the results of the analysis and /or assessments carried out. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee at the expiry of the Board mandate expresses its opinion with reference to the composition of the Board, which, in order to guarantee the functioning continuity of the administrative body - even in the event of early replacement with respect to the ordinary expiry of the office of the directors - constantly monitors the number of internal members and carries out constant reconnaissance of possible external candidates.
Art. 10 of the Articles of Association provides that the remuneration to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors be determined by the Shareholders' meeting and will be effective until the Shareholders' meeting resolves otherwise. The compensation of the directors veste d with particular functions shall be determined by the Board of Directors, upon proposal submitted by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, if the Shareholders' meeting does not fix an aggregate amount for compensation of all the directors, including those vested with particular functions.

In order to meet the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code regarding the remuneration of executive directors, other directors covering particular offices and top management of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, on 14 March 2024 the Board of Directors approved the General Remuneration Policy for 2024 as per positive advice received by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in its meeting held on 29 February 2024. The Policy was developed through a transparent procedure by the d'Amico Group Head of Human Resources department using the advice of an independent expert.
Such Policy addresses all forms of remuneration and tends to create a balancing between fixed and variable components of both short-term and long-term performance-related remuneration. The variable components are limited to a maximum amount while the fixed component is to be considered as sufficiently remunerative in case no variable component is paid. The Board of Directors verifies on an annual basis that the amount of the remuneration paid to non -executive directors is adequate for their competence, professionalism and commitment required by their role. The aforementioned assessment takes into account the fact that the remuneration policy adopted by DIS is in line with the best practices on the subject of remuneration widespread among companies of similar size operating in the same shipping segment. For the purposes of the distribution of remuneration, the Board of Directors also takes into consideration the fact that the members of the Control and Risks Committee also perform the function of "audit committee" in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Luxembourg legislation.
Proposals related to performance-related remuneration schemes are accompanied with recommendations on the related objectives and evaluation criteria, with a view to properly aligning the remuneration of executive directors and top management with the medium to long-term interests of the Shareholders and the sustainable success objectives set by the Board of Directors for the Company.
With reference to the Short-Term Incentive Plan the allotment of the variable part according to the 2024 Policy is linked to the Company and its subsidiaries' performances and the target threshold was related to the achievement of the DIS's annual performance target measured through the consolidated EBITDA indicator. The payment of the annual premium is also conditional on non-economic parameters as well as performance targets, such as a qualitative assessment that objectively considers the activity performed by the corporate role (activities planned in the previous year for the assessment year, ordinary activities performed by the department/business unit, etc.) and the effectiveness and efficiency of the activity. The bonus pool to be distributed is repres ented by a percentage (up to 5%) of the annual consolidated EBITDA.
The 2024 Remuneration Policy does not provide for any additional provision regarding any indemnities for the termination of the relationship with executive directors not even agreements with directors providing for compensation in the event of resignation, dismissal or termination of employment following a takeover bid.

The assignment of any monetary consideration not linked to specific parameters (e.g. ad hoc bonus) is always linked to what is defined in the Remuneration Policy and any derogation is exceptional and resolved by the Board of Directors and Shareholders.
The 2024 Policy (as well as all the former policies) provides for contractual agreements enabling the Company to request the return of variable components of the remuneration paid, in full or in part, within the limits permitted by applicable laws.
For more details on the 2024 Policy please refer to the integral document as published in the corporate governance section on the Company's Website at the disposal of Shareholders.
As lastly approved by the annual general Shareholders' meeting held on 23 April 2024 the aggregate fixed gross annual remuneration of the Board of Directors for the Financial Year was set at € 460,000.00 which was considered a sufficient amount so as to motivate the directors in consideration of their professional expertise. The Board of Directors was then empowered and authorized to allocate such amount between its members and as regards the executive directors and other directors covering particular offices, the Board of Directors in its meeting of 1 August 2024, upon proposal of Nomination and Remuneration Committee in its meeting held on 31 July 2024, distributed the remunerations and established the following short-term 2024 variable component of the 2024 remuneration of executive directors and top management (in addition to the LTI Plan (see chapter 2 letter a) of this Report:
The Board of Directors ensured that the remuneration paid and accrued in 2024 was consistent with the principles and criteria defined in the 2024 Policy considering any triggering event therein provided. The Board of Directors thoroughly considered on the opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
Further information on the compensation paid to the directors and the top management of the Company and its Subsidiaries can be found in the Report on Remuneration drafted in compliance with the provisions of arts. 7-bis and 7-ter of the Luxembourg Law on Shareholders Rights and published in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's Website at Shareholders' disposal.

The Board of Directors, as the body responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System, performs its duties based on a model inspired by the recommendations established by the Corporate Governance Code and the national and international best practices. The Company's Board of Directors, having evaluated the functioning of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, on the basis of the reports received by the Internal Auditor, by the Control and Risk Committee and by the Supervisory Committee, noted that the Internal Control and Risk Management System can be considered as functioning adequately and effectively.
It is an integral part of the management of the business processes. The timely identification of risks and the commitment to eliminate, reduce and/or consciously manage them is truly perceived by the managers of the processes as one of their direct responsibilities, both from a strategic and operational point of view. Particular attention is paid to the risks inherent the critical sustainability success factors.
DIS Group is aware that an effective Internal Control and Risk management System contributes to safeguarding the Company's assets, the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, the reliability of the information provided to the corporate bodies and to the market, the compliance with laws and regulations.
The Company is continuing to implement and refine the necessary steps in order to maintain an efficient and adequate System of Internal Control and Risk Management by means of reviewing the existing policies, processes and procedures periodically and, where necessary, establishing a new set of rules, processes and organizational structures in order to monitor the efficiency of the Company's operations, the reliability of all the information (including the financial information) supplied to the Company's bodies and to the market, the compliance with law and regulation for the safeguard of the Company's assets.
The Integrated Management System, based on the "process approach" is aimed at a careful definition and revision of all the internal procedures, work-instructions, responsibilities and resources taking into consideration the specific activities of companies involved in the integrated management. The Company formally decided to adhere to the integrated management system of the d'Amico Group. This integration and alignment involve the internal control and risk management system designed by the Company and its Subsidiaries and provide them with an even better management of the risks and enhance the processes' efficacy and smoothness. Therefore, the Company currently benefits from a set of common processes and procedures.
Moreover, the integration has led to the strengthening of a system of coordination among the bodies responsible for internal control in the development of their audit plans such as to lead to a rationalization of the controls. This level of coordination has been achieved by application of a simple

defined protocol, which includes informative (upon request) or reporting (always due) flows among the control bodies, such as not to interfere with the autonomy and independence of the individual management systems.
The cooperation among the control bodies allows the risk assessment and audit reports sharing; this allows each control body to possibly acknowledge the remarks already raised by the others.
During 2024 the respective finalized plans of activities for 2024 were duly shared. The reports of the audits performed during the year were also shared, at the request of the interested party.
The Company believes that the complete adoption of an integrated Internal Control System is a prerequisite to ensure an effective risk policy.
Pursuant to the best national and international practices, the Company's integrated approach to the Internal Control System is based on the following key concepts:
With specific regard to the management and internal control system for existing risks associated with the consolidated and individual financial reporting process, which is part of the overall internal control system adopted, DIS has implemented a system of administrative and accounting procedures aimed at ensuring that financial reporting is accurate, correct, reliable and timely.
In particular, specific procedures have been established for the creation and dissemination of mandatory financial reports and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and periodic financial reports (including the plan of accounts, consolidation procedure and related-party transaction procedure).
The Internal Audit Division conducts, among other, independent audits of the efficiency of the controls identified for each of the processes of the Group and companies required to carry out financial reporting. The areas of improvement identified in the course of the audits conducted are illustrated to the Company's Chief Risk Officer and the Control and Risk Committee. In concert with each process owner or company required to carry out financial reporting, shared action plans are established with the aim of strengthening the existing control system or remedying specific shortcomings in that system. The implementation of the agreed measures is constantly monitored by the Internal Audit Division, which reports on the matter to the Chief Risk Officer and the Control and Risk Committee.

The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for maintaining an adequate internal control system, which includes periodic reviews of the functioning of the key controls identified and audited with the support of the Internal Audit Division during the implementation phase, with the aim of confirming that they continue to operate effectively.
The Internal Audit Division may select some operating companies or processes for thorough follow-ups or audits, being provided with an autonomous power to drive the preparation of the audit plan on the basis of the risk analysis and to put into operation single actions. The results of such audits, together with the results of the risk analysis and assessment, are illustrated in a report, in a manner consistent with the reporting process for all Internal Audit actions.

For more information, please refer to the section "Corporate Governance Statement" (paragraphs "Board of Directors", "Board Members' Expertise", "Management System") in the Management Report within DIS Annual Report.
The Company believes that the above assessment system and related certification process, considering the number of relevant processes and companies required to carry out financial reporting, is capable of ensuring and maintaining reliable controls in relation to the financial reporting process.

On 23 April 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to entrust Mr. Antonio Carlos Balestra di Mottola, in his capacity of CEO, as Chief Risk Officer with the tasks of establishing and maintaining an effective and adequate internal control and risk management system of the Company, notably:
The CRO is constantly in contact with the Head of Internal Audit requesting reviews of specific operational areas and on the compliance of business operation with rules and internal procedures and with legal regulations, ensuring that the Control and Risk Committee is also kept informed of such flows on a continuous basis.
For more information, please refer to the section "Corporate Governance Statement" (paragraphs "Board of Directors" and "Other Governance Bodies) in the Management Report and the section "ESG Governance" in the Sustainability Statement within DIS Annual Report.
In 2024, the Chief Risk Officer did not detect issues or problems such as to require specific reports to the Control and Risk Committee (or directly to the Board of Directors) other than the periodic reports from the Head of Internal Audit which were all presented to the Chief Risk Officer before being explained to the Control and Risk Committee.
Furthermore, the Chief Risk Officer has participated together with the Control and Risk Committee in the process of appointment of the Head of Internal Audit and in the definition of its remuneration that is in line with the Company's General Remuneration Policy, as well as in the definition of the Internal Audit Division budget.

Furthermore, the Committee reports on its activity to the Board of Directors twice a year, on the occasion of the approval of the annual and half-year financial report.
In performing its duties, the Committee had the opportunity to access the information and the business functions necessary to perform its tasks. During the Financial Year, the external consultancy firm Protiviti Global Business Consulting was engaged to gi ve advice on the updating of the Internal Control and Risk Management System Guidelines.
At the end of the Financial Year the Control and Risk Committee held three (3) meetings duly recorded with 88.88% attendance of all its appointed members and an average duration of 1.40 hour.
The external auditors and/or the Head of Internal Audit and/or a member of the Supervisory Committee and/or the CEO and/or the Chief Financial Officer and/or the d'Amico Group Head of ESG department attended the meetings when requested by its members in relation to the items to be discussed and upon specific invitation with reference to specific items and with no right to vote and the CEO was duly informed of the said participations. The statutory auditors do not participate in the Committee meetings as the Company does not have a Board of Statutory Auditors.
During the Financial Year the Control and Risk Committee reviewed and submitted proposals to the Board of Directors with respect to:
• the work carried out by MOORE Audit S.A. on the 2023 consolidated and statutory financial statements and on the 2024 half year review, with particular focus on the assessment of the correct application of the accounting principles, with the CEO and the CFO support;

Informal meetings were carried out with the Head of Internal Audit, to receive an update on the planned and unplanned activities, to better evaluate the proposed changes in such function budget and to receive her final assessment on the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
All the considerations expressed by the Control and Risks Committee were reported by its Chairwoman at the following Board of Directors' meeting. The Committee, whose meetings are all recorded in minutes, has approved a calendar of meeting for the 2025 financial year, as permitted by the relevant internal regulation. According to that, it envisages to meet at least two (3) times in 2025 and at the date of approval of the present Report one (1) meeting have been held.
In line with the International Standards the Internal Auditing stands for an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organisation. The internal auditor helps the organisation to achieve its objectives by means of a systematic, professional approach that generates added value since its aim is to evaluate and improve the risk management, control, and governance processes.
The Head of Internal Audit of the Company - in line with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code and in view of a cost reduction and a structural organization - is Mrs. Loredana Saccomanno, a person external to the Company endowed with adequate professionalism autonomy and independence who is an employee of its ultimate indirect controlling shareholder.
The Head of Internal Audit's remuneration is in line with the Remuneration Policy and consists of a base salary plus a bonus and is paid by the indirect controlling shareholder of the Company which performs a service for the Company defined by a regular intra-group contract.
According to the provisions of the Guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and of the Internal Audit Mandate, the Head of Internal Audit attends the meetings of the Control and Risk Committee upon invitation and as a listener without right to vote.

The Head of Internal Audit is not responsible for any operational area, directly refers to the Board of Directors and has the power to audit all internal processes and those exposed to the greatest risk of offences according to the risk assessment periodically carried out. Moreover, she has direct access to all useful information for the performance of the following tasks that she carries out regularly:

Starting from 2019, the developments made to the Internal Audit tools have made it possible to update the corporate risk assessment document on an annual basis. This led to the natural annual update of the Audit Plan for the subsequent period.
Since 2022, in line with the evolution of regulatory requirements and anticipating the CSRD requests, DIS has also started a review of the Risk Assessment methodology, also from an ESG perspective. In the year 2024, the Internal Audit methodology for Risk Assessment has been finalized, aligned with the Global Internal Audit Standards.
In particular, the Risk Assessment methodology specifies the:
highlighted that the identified risks have been primarily assessed as significant and rated high at the inherent level, whereas they are considered medium-low at the residual level.

This necessitates the internal audit assurance activity (2025 – 2027 Audit Plan) to confirm the effectiveness of the internal control system. The gap analysis, shared with the process owners, is mainly referred to:

In order to include the ESG dimension in Internal Audit's activities, the ESG process was analysed as part of the Risk Assessment 2024 conducted by Internal Audit, and based on the results, this dimension will be covered in the annual risk-based audit plan starting from March 2025.
In addition, the Internal Audit Division is conducting an evaluation of the Entity Level Controls related to Sustainability Report. Specifically, applying the principles of the COSO framework, an assessment is being conducted on the Internal Control procedures governing the Sustainability Report. The objective is to assess the Company's positioning relative to best practices and identify potential areas for improvement.The function also continues to carry out actions to improve the tools and processes for measuring risks and the efficiency of controls, enhancing the principle of continuous improvement required by professional standards and best practices. These tools, in line with the COSO framework, support the evaluation of the internal control and risk management.
In line with this improvement process, the Internal Audit Charter and Mandate has also been revised, along with the procedures related to the activities of the Internal Audit function, taking into account the new Global Internal Audit Standards in effect from January 2025.
On March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the 2024 DIS Group Internal Audit Plan, which was later revised on August 1, 2024. The Board also initially set the Internal Audit Division's budget for 2024 at € 26,000 for both the Company and its subsidiaries, considering it sufficient and appropriate to fulfill its duties. However, on 1 August 2024, the Board of Directors revised the budget,

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 63 of 82
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
increasing it to € 58,000. During the Financial Year the Head of Internal Audit carried out her duties according with the professional standards (IPPF – International Institute of Internal Audit) in performing the planned audits and checks aimed at drafting report on Internal Control and Risk Management System effectiveness, acknowledging the results of the audit activity carried out by the d'Amico Group Health Safety Quality and Environment (HSQE) Department and by the Supervisory Committee.
No significant risk, such as to jeopardize a positive assessment of the internal control system, has been identified and some improvement opportunities have been highlighted to the related process managers who have identified and shared improvement actions.
During 2024 planned activities were carried out on the following processes:
In consideration of the carried-out activities, and with reference to the analysed areas, the Head of Internal Audit can conclude that there are no significant risks of errors or frauds which jeopardise the Company values and consequently confirms her statement that the Internal Control and Risk Management System is still to be considered suitable and effective.
Minor suggestions have been addressed on:

The Company, although governed by Luxembourg laws and regulations, due to the listing of its shares over the STAR segment of Euronext Milan organized and managed by Borsa Italiana is requested by the Borsa Italiana Regulation to apply the Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001, which has introduced the administrative liability of legal entities and their respective bodies for specific types of criminal offences, referred to in the Decree 231 committed and prosecutable in Italy in the interests or for the benefit of the same by people who hold functions of representation, administration or direction of the legal entity or its respective bodies or one of its organizational units having financial and functional autonomy as well as by people who exercise, even "de facto", the management or control of the same ("Top Management") or by persons subject to the direction or supervision of one of the Top Management ("Employees"). The Decree 231, however, provides for a specific form of exemption from liability if the legal entity proves that:
The timely adoption and implementation of some controls and procedures as part of the 231 Model after the commission of the offence (ex-post adoption) could mitigate the sanctions deriving from the ascertained liability.
The Company, with the assistance of its external advisors and of the Supervisory Committee and upon evaluation of the Control and Risk Committee, on 12 March 2008, has formally adopted its own 231 Model and on 13 January 2009 released specific operating procedures in order to prevent the commission of such crimes.
On 9 May 2019 the Board of Directors while approving an amendment of the 231 Model decided to adhere to its ultimate parent company's Integrated Management System merging in the existing Group sensitive activities' procedures those rules, and controls aimed at preventing and

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 65 of 82
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
systematically reducing the risk of commission or attempted commission of those offenses as listed in the Decree 231. The Integrated Management System's procedures are constantly updated with reference to the additional controls specifically required by the 231 Model as amended from time to time and sometimes the effective implementation of the 231 Model required the introduction of new procedures and/or policies in the framework of the Integrated Management System.
Every year the adequacy and effectiveness of the 231 Model is duly monitored by the Supervisory Committee that suggests to the Board the necessity to update the risk assessment so that the Company's 231 Model is constantly updated in accordance with both changes in the internal organizational and those in the legislative environment regarding the scope of application of the Decree 231.
On 29 July 2021 the 231 Model was completely revised. The Company previously conducted a Control and Risk Self-Assessment (hereinafter also "CRSA").
The CRSA performed by the Company with the assistance of the Supervisory Committee was carried out through the following activities:
As a result of the said CRSA (which findings evidenced an overall adequacy of the internal control system) and since the Company is linked to the Italian territory exclusively by virtue of its listing on the Italian Stock Exchange, (and therefore only those offenses envisaged by the Decree 231, relating to DIS' activities in Italy were identified as in scope), the 231 Model was given a new structure and is now divided into seven parts, as follows:
| The new structure of the 231 Model | |
|---|---|
| 1. Relations with the Public Administration; |
5. Management of financial flows, gifts, and |
| 2. Management of litigations; |
donations; |
| 3. Human resources management; |
6. Management of accounts, balance sheets, |
| 4. Purchase of goods and services; |
and transaction on shares; |
| 7. Management of inside information. |
The control measures deemed relevant for the purposes of the analysis of the Internal Control System (ICS), consistently with the best practices with respect to the Sensitive Activities identified, are the following:

Date: 13 March 2025 Page: 66 of 82
2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
The last CRSA was performed during 2022 and evidenced that there wasn't a level of potential risk of commission of the considered offenses, and to allow the identification of one or more Sensitive Activities associated with them; only a formal update the General Part of the Company's 231 Model was, therefore, deemed necessary.
Lastly, on July 2023 the Company's Board of Directors upon suggestion of the Supervisory Committee resolved to launch a new update of the CRSA, to evaluate the level of risk and to subsequently update the Model 231 and the policy and procedure for managing whistleblowing reports.
During 2024 the ultimate parent company, d'Amico Società di Navigazione S.p.A. upon input of its Supervisory Committee (the Supervisory Committee of DIS also being in agreement), has appointed and external consultant to carry out a preliminary assessment on the application of the Decree 231 in the d'Amico Group companies in order to evaluate the opportunity for creation of a common methodological approach able to identify any redundancies or inconsistencies in the mapping of the areas at risk and to limit the risk of liability being transferred back by the controlled companies to the parent companies. In the meanwhile, many crimes were amended and/or newly included in the Decree 231so that it was decided to postpone the start of the CRSA in 2025.
The last version of the General Part of the 231 Model is available at the Company's Website.
During the 2024 financial year the Supervisory Committee performed the following activities:

The Board of Directors in the meeting of 12 March 2008 also approved and adopted its own Code of Ethics which includes the main rules of good behaviour that the Company, its directors, statutory auditors, employees, consultants and partners, and in general all of those who act for the Company and/or in the Company's name and on its behalf, are required to comply with to materially reduce and prevent, the risk of committing different types of crimes, including fraud. The Code of Ethics has been amended and updated on the basis of the first results of the Risk Assessment process and approved by a resolution of the Board of Directors on 7 May 2014 and is available at the Corporate Governance section of the Website. The Company decided to adopt the main principles of ethics of its ultimate parent company, d'Amico Società di Navigazione S.p.A. but tailored to satisfy the applicable Luxembourg legislation. During the 2018 financial year the section of the Code of Ethics dedicated to privacy issues was updated. In 2019 the Code of Ethics was also updated by way of introducing reference to the new whistleblowing policy of the Company. Lastly in December 2024 the Code of Ethics was amended in order to introduce some adjustments of legislative references as regards human rights. The Company in turns has encouraged its Subsidiaries to adopt the Code of Ethics with similar content to that of the Company.

The Board of Directors of 12 March 2008 initially approved, upon proposal of the Nomination Committee, the setting up of a Supervisory Committee charged with the following duties:
On 9 March 2023 the Board of Directors, upon previous consideration of the Control and Risk Committee, resolved to confirm the establishment of the Supervisory Committee renewing the appointment of its expired members. All the members of the Supervisory Committee were appointed for a term ending at the annual general meeting of Shareholders called to decide on the approval of the financial statements for 2025.
The Company's Supervisory Committee consists of three (3) members appointed after due evaluation and consideration of the following requisites required by the Decree 231 for such function: autonomous initiative capacity, independence, professionalism, continuity of action, absence of any conflict of interest and honourableness. The said members are Mr Nicola Pisani (the Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, lawyer, and professor of criminal law external to the Company and its Group), Mr Maurizio Andrea Bergamaschi (the former Head of the d'Amico Group Legal Department, currently retired) and Mrs Anna Alberti (a member of the d'Amico Group Corporate and Legal Department).
The Board of Directors meeting held on 14 March 2024 resolved the setting up of the annual expenditure budget of the Supervisory Committee amounting to € 15,000.00 considered appropriate in order for it to discharge its duties.
On 29 July 2008 the Supervisory Committee further approved its internal Regulation governing its functioning, operation procedures, duties and rights. The Regulation is currently under revision.
Since its initial establishment, the Supervisory Committee has had a system for reporting any irregularities or infringements of the applicable legislation and the internal procedures that guarantees

References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
a specific and confidential information channel. This channel has been publicized by training on the implementation of the 231 Model and as from 2017 also in the corporate governance section of the Company's Website. In 2020, the Company provided for an additional whistleblowing channel set up pursuant to Law no. 179 of 30 November 2017 and in line with international best practices. In March 2021 a platform was implemented at d'Amico Group level with the aim at guaranteeing the confidentiality of the identity as well as the anonymity of whistleblowers - who may also include third parties. It allows to report any irregularity and/or unlawful behaviors, acts or omissions that could constitute violations or attempted violations, even suspected, of:
that may constitute fraud or damage, even potential, towards colleagues, shareholders and stakeholders, or unlawful acts detrimental to the interests and reputation of the Company.
By way of example, the reports may refer to circumstances of alleged violations of environmental and workplace safety rules, corruption in fulfilling responsibilities, corruption due to an act contrary to official duties, abuse of powers granted to obtain private benefits, accounting irregularities, false declarations, deskilling and non-transparent recruitments. The reports may also refer to cases, even suspected or attempted, of "bullying", sexual harassment, violations of privacy legislation and situations of real, potential and apparent conflicts of interest for which adequate disclosure has not been made by the parties involved and which may have consequences on the impartiality and good performance of the Company.
This new platform replaces the pre-existing on-board reporting system and can therefore also be used for reporting events occurring on board a vessel or any events related to a vessel. The new whistleblowing platform is available athttps://openreportingsystem.damicoship.com/ - with access from the intranet portal and DIS websites.
It should be noted that during 2024 no reports of violations of the 231 Model or of the Code of Ethics were received by the Supervisory Committee neither directly nor through the Whistleblowing platform.
Following the enrolment of the European Directive 2019/1937 in all the European member states the d'Amico Group decided to review in a more integrated way the whistleblowing policy. The

The Company incorporated pursuant to the law of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and having its registered office in Luxembourg and securities admitted to trading only in Italy at the time of listing, made commitments with CONSOB and in particular, with reference to the carrying out of transactions

with related parties of the Company or its subsidiaries when such transactions may have a significant impact on the soundness of the Company assets or on the completeness and correctness of the information communicated because of the absence in Luxembourg of a regulation of the subject matter equal to those provided by Italian law.
Consequently on 7 February 2008, the Board of Directors, upon previous recommendation of the former Control and Risk Committee, approved and adopted a set of internal rules in order to ensure the transparency and the substantial and procedural fairness of those transactions carried out by the Company, directly or through its Subsidiaries, and with a major impact on the Company's activity, financial statements, economic and financial figures in view of their nature and strategic importance or size with particular reference to those Significant Transactions carried out by the Company or its Subsidiaries with Related Parties including intra -group transactions.
On 18 February 2009 the Board of Directors, in consideration of the opinion expressed by the Control and Risks Committee, approved an amended version of these internal rules.
Afterwards Luxembourg Shareholders Rights Law has transposed the European Directive SRD II which, among other things, deals with regulating the transparency and approval of transactions with related parties. It is worth emphasising that both the DIS Articles of Association and the approved internal rules ("Regulation of transactions with related parties and significant transactions from an economic, financial and accounting point of view") were assessed internally and by an external law firm consultant and resulted to be in full compliance with the requirements implemented by Luxembourg Shareholders Rights Law.
During 2022, as part of the internal review process, the Company considered the Regulation of transactions with related parties and significant transactions from an economic, financial and accounting point of view notably to better define the significance of transactions in such a way as to, notably, more precisely define the impact they could have on the economic decisions of the company's shareholders and generally to ensure the process remaining in compliance with the Luxembourg law as applicable.
On 9 March 2023 the Company's Board of Directors finally approved the new Rules of procedure governing transactions with related parties (hereinafter the "Rules") with the aim of identifying the transactions that are of strategic, economic, asset-related and financial importance for the Company and of governing the procedures for approving and implementing such transactions, paying special attention to material transactions with related parties entered into by the Company, by setting forth internal management rules that ensure transparency and the substantial and procedural correctness of the approval process of the transactions, and by establishing the procedures for complying with information disclosure requirements under applicable law. The Rules are available on the Website in the Corporate Governance area.

According to the new Rules, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have exclusive power to approve all the Material Transactions with Related Parties, detailing in its minutes the reasons for its approval.
It is understood that where the correlation pertains to a member of the Board of Directors or to a shareholder of the Company (conflict of interest), the relevant director or the director representing the relevant shareholder will not be able to participate in the deliberations regarding the approval of the specific transaction.
The following internal procedure shall be observed by the Company to assess Transactions with Related Parties in order to identify those which shall be considered in scope.
The CFO and/or the CEO are those in charge of carrying out such assessment (if required with the assistance of any independent experts) , on the basis of the relevant information from time to time received from the persons or bodies entrusted to conclude and/or execute transactions, which shall – in turn - gather and keep records of such relevant information and provide it sufficiently in advance to CFO and/or the CEO.
After the CFO and/or the CEO have received information about a potential Transactions with Related Parties, they shall first of all jointly:
When a transaction has been identified as a Material Transaction with a Related Party, the CFO and/or the CEO shall verify if it falls in the exclusions provided by the Rules.
The Material Transactions with Related Parties concluded and executed under powers of attorney shall be the subject matter of briefs/memos submitted to the Board of Directors, that has given its prior approval, in the periodical report, drawn up by the individuals and/or bodies in charge of doing so, on the activities carried out under the powers of attorney.
During the Financial Year the Company duly implemented the provisions of the abovementioned internal Rules.
The Company does not appoint Statutory Auditors (Commissaires aux Comptes) since the audit of statutory and consolidated annual reports is performed by an independent external auditor (reviseurs d'entreprises agréés). See chapter 11.5 of this Report.

The Company's Investor Relations team ran a structured program aimed at promoting an ongoing dialogue with institutional investors, shareholders and the markets to ensure systematic dissemination of exhaustive, complete, and timely information on its activities, in accordance with legal requirements and on the basis of corporate governance standards and recommendations from relevant organizations, with the sole limitation imposed by the confidential nature of certain information.
The financial results were presented on a quarterly basis through public conference calls which can be widely accessed via webcast or telephone. On the same day, the recording of the conference call and the power-point presentation are available the Investor Relations Website. During the year the IR team kept in constant contact with the financial community to discuss the company's performance and results through meetings, conference calls, presentations at broker conferences and at the relevant events organized by Borsa Italiana (STAR Segment). DIS also organized several oneon-one virtual and in-person meetings with investors that were deemed to have a particular interest in investing in our Company, taking into account our market capitalization, equity valuation, sector of operation and the cyclical nature of our business.
On 29 July 2008, the Board of Directors, due to the resignation of the former Investor relations Manager being also the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, appointed Mrs. Anna Franchin, as head of the Company's investor relation activities. Currently the Investor Relations Manager, as per decision of the Board of Directors of 23 April 2024 reports directly to the Company's CEO.
More information is available on the Company's Website. The Investor Relations section provides share information, historical financial data, press releases, institutional presentations, periodic publications and analyst coverage. In April 2024, DIS launched its new Investor Relations website (http://investorrelations.damicointernationalshipping.com/), with the aim to establish a modern and engaging platform, offering DIS' current and prospective investors convenient access to essential financial information, updates, and insights about the Company. Starting from 2020, updates on the Company's investor relations activity are available also on its LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/d-amico-international-shipping-s-a/.

On 11 May 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Policy for managing the dialogue with its Shareholders (available on the Company's Website in the Investor Relations area) as DIS believes that a transparent dialogue with its Shareholders can support and inspire the Company's actions, contributing to the success and the generation of value in the medium-long term. The

2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
objective of the Policy is to establish and maintain a constant, open and transparent relationship with the Company's current and/or potential Shareholders, to increase their level of understanding of the activities performed by the Company and to share the strategic actions and visions underlying the Company's operations. This Policy aims to facilitate dialogue with the Company's Shareholders by ensuring the provision of adequate information, but also soliciting opinions and proposals, providing requested answers and clarifications and generally maintaining an adequate channel of communication with these parties.
This Policy is not addressed to those persons who, as suppliers or other stakeholders, have interests other than the pursuit of a current or potential investment in the shares of the Company.
Guidelines for managing dialogue with shareholders and other stakeholders are also outlined in the internal investor relations procedure and the communication procedure.
The Company is focused on the improvement of this dialogue taking into account the stakeholders' engagement especially as regards the Group sustainable development goals of responsible consumption and production and climate action for example promoting public attention towards social, cultural and environmental topics. Currently the Company constantly maps its stakeholders by distinguishing them in different categories and detects their needs and expectations and the related actions to be taken.
According to the Policy the Board of Directors is the corporate body responsible for managing the Shareholder Dialogue, providing guidance, monitoring and verification of dialogue, whilst delegating all the operational aspects and implementation to the Chairman and/or the CEO but always ensuring that such processes are performed in the Company's interest and in accordance with the laws, regulations, this Policy, and Internal Rules. In the exercise of the delegated powers, the Chairman and/or the CEO coordinate with, and are supported by, the CFO and the Investor Relator mainly for the definition of the information to provide and the organization of initiatives aimed at establishing and/or promoting dialogue with current and/or potential Shareholders.
It is however important to underline that in view of the highly concentrated ownership of the company most of the dialogue with the Shareholders takes place during the roadshows or on the occasion of the Shareholders meetings, when minority shareholders are attending.
The Board is periodically informed of the developments of the shareholders' dialogue by the Chief Executive Officer, who coordinates it.
For more information, please refer to section "DIS' Stakeholder" in the Management report within DIS Annual Report.

During the Financial Year, the Company held its annual Shareholders' meeting on 23 April 2024. The Chairman of the Board couldn't participate due to justified reasons and the executive director Mr. Cesare d'Amico took the Chairmanship of the meeting. The Chairman of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee informed the Shareholders of the procedure for performing the duties of the Committee chaired by himself in the form of a letter to Shareholders introducing the annual remuneration report. As regards the Shareholders meeting's functioning and powers, the Shareholders' rights and their relevant means of exercise, the Articles of Association of the Company completely refers to Luxembourg Law on Commercial Companies.
In particular, every amendment to the Articles of Association was adopted by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, which is quorate with at least half of all the shares issued and in circulation. If this quorum is not reached, a second meeting may be convened for which there are no quorum obligations. In order for the resolutions proposed to be adopted and unless otherwise provided for by applicable current legislation, a quorum of 2/3 of the votes expressed by the Shareholders present or represented at this general meeting is required in order to pass a resolution.
Shareholders' meetings provide regular opportunities to meet and communicate with Shareholders while complying with the regulations that govern the handling of price sensitive information, and the Company encourages the active and broad involvement of its Shareholders.
The Articles of Association's rules governing attendance at meetings, contain information regarding the availability of the documentation at the registered office of the Company, Borsa Italiana and the Website for a continuous period beginning on the day of publication of the convening notice and including the day of the general meeting of Shareholders and specifies that Shareholders may obtain a copy thereof at their expenses. Indeed the Directors of the Company manage to give to the Shareholders all the necessary information related to the planned and performed activity throughout the management report included in the Financial Statements as well as those necessary for them to take the decisions that are in their competence so as to exercise their rights easily and in a conscious way by means of preparing a draft resolution or, where no resolution is proposed to be adopted, a comment from the Board of Directors, for each item on the proposed agenda of the general meeting.
In order to reduce the boundaries and procedures that make it difficult for the Shareholders to attend to the relevant meetings, according to the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors may decide to organize the participation in a general meeting of shareholders by electronic means in accordance with the Luxembourg Law on Commercial Companies and also vote by proxy or correspondence (ballot paper).
In particular the Board of Directors in its meeting of 23 February 2007 resolved to delegate to the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer the power to draw up a set of rules so as to ensure

2024
References: Borsa Italiana Code Borsa Italiana Instructions
the orderly and effective conduct of the general Shareholders' meetings, while guaranteeing the right of each shareholder to speak on the matters on the agenda. Such Shareholders' meetings Regulation was approved by the Shareholders meeting called to approve the Company's Accounts for financial year 2007 and, in addition to what established by the Articles of Association, ensures that Shareholders meetings run in an orderly and efficient way so as to give the fullest possible guidance on the organizational and procedural aspects of this important moment in Shareholders' participation in the life of the Company. On this purpose the Regulation determines all the conditions that must be fulfilled so as to allow Shareholders to take part and speak in a general meeting of Shareholders and exercise their voting rights such as the provision for access cards, proxy forms and ballot papers ("formulaires"). The Regulation ensure also the Shareholders' possibility to participate in a Shareholders' meeting by videoconference or any other telecommunication methods allowing for their identification provided that the latter satisfy such technical requirements so as to enable the effective participation in the meeting and the retransmission on a continuous basis of the deliberations of the meeting.
Following the entry into force of the law on Shareholders' rights and the consequent amendments to the Articles of Association, the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting held on 4 April 2012 approved a redrafted version of the Shareholders' Meeting Regulation containing the changes introduced by said law that assimilates the European Directive on shareholders' rights in Luxembourg.
This Regulation which defines the rights and obligations of all parties attending a Shareholders meeting and provides clear and unambiguous rules, without limiting the right of individual Shareholders to voice their opinions and demand explanations about items on the agenda, as amended, is duly posted and available at the Corporate Governance section of the Website.
No other statutory changes compared to those above represented concerning the procedures for participating in the meeting and exercising the right to vote have been deemed necessary pursuant to applicable Luxembourg law.
During the Financial Year, no significant changes occurred in the Company's shareholding structure.
During the Financial Year the market capitalization of the Company's shares changed from € 681,689,529.10 at 31 December 2023 to € 479,877,988.72 at 31 December 2024.
During the Financial Year according to the applicable laws there was no need to involve the Shareholders in the amendment of the corporate governance system having the Board of Directors judged the current system effective and sufficient the percentages currently established by the Articles of Association for the exercise of the prerogatives of the minority shareholders.
