Dear Shareholders,
You have been convened in an Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to examine and approve the proposal for authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares of Pharmanutra S.p.A. ("PHN" or the "Company") pursuant to Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, as well as Article 132 of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the "TUF") and related implementing provisions.
With a resolution adopted on April 16, 2024, this Shareholders' Meeting authorized the purchase and disposal of the Company's ordinary shares. The authorization for purchase had a duration of 18 months from the date of the aforementioned resolution and will therefore expire during the 2025 financial year, while the authorization for disposal was granted without time limits.
It is deemed appropriate that the Company be granted the ability to proceed with the purchase of treasury shares beyond the aforementioned deadline for the purposes outlined in the following Section 1.
Therefore, shareholders are invited to approve a new authorization for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares under the terms outlined in this Report, subject to the revocation of the authorization granted by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 16, 2024, for the unused portion.
The purpose of this authorization for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares is to allow the Company to seize the opportunity to make a profitable investment in cases where the market price of PHN shares, also due to external factors, does not adequately reflect the Company's value. This would provide the Company with a useful strategic investment opportunity for any purposes permitted by applicable regulations, including the potential use of shares as consideration in extraordinary transactions, such as share exchanges with other entities, as part of operations in the interest of the Company, including potential sector aggregations that are continuously analyzed and evaluated by the Board of Directors.
Additionally, the Company reserves the right to allocate the purchased shares under this authorization for other legally permitted purposes in the interest of the Company, including their use in future incentive plans adopted by the Company under the terms and conditions established by such plans, as well as their possible subsequent cancellation, under the terms and methods that may be decided by the competent corporate bodies. The Company may also dispose of the shares on or off the stock exchange, as further specified in Section 5 below.
As of the date of this Report, the Company's share capital amounts to €1,123,097.70, divided into 9,680,977 ordinary shares with no nominal value. As of the same date, PHN holds 77,731 treasury shares, and its subsidiaries do not hold PHN shares.



The authorization is requested for the purchase, in one or more tranches, of a number of the Company's ordinary shares, without nominal value, for a maximum total amount of €3,000,000.
It is therefore proposed to grant the Board of Directors the mandate to determine the number of shares to be purchased under each of the purposes outlined in Section 1, before the start of the purchase program, while remaining within the maximum limit specified above.
The purchase of treasury shares must comply with the limits of distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the most recent (including interim) approved financial statements at the time of the transaction. Furthermore, the necessary accounting entries will be made in compliance with legal provisions and applicable accounting principles when purchasing or disposing of treasury shares.
The authorization for the purchase of treasury shares is requested for a period of 18 (eighteen) months from the date of the resolution of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
The Board of Directors may carry out the authorized transactions in one or more instances and at any time, in amounts and timing freely determined, in compliance with applicable regulations and with the gradual approach deemed appropriate in the Company's interest.
The authorization for the disposal of treasury shares is requested without time limits.
The Board of Directors proposes that the purchase of treasury shares be carried out in compliance with the limits and conditions related to trading established by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter "MAR") and Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 ("Regulation 1052") implementing MAR, where applicable.
Purchases may be made at a price not exceeding the higher of:
However, the unit purchase price must not be lower than 20% below or higher than 10% above the official price recorded in the market session on the day before each individual transaction.
The Board of Directors proposes that the purchase of ordinary shares be carried out in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, including Article 132 of the TUF, its implementing provisions, and Article 144-bis of Consob Regulation No. 11971/1999, as well as in



accordance with the conditions and restrictions on trading set forth in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation 1052, with the gradual approach deemed appropriate in the Company's interest.
Considering the objectives of this authorization (as outlined in Section 1), the Board of Directors also proposes authorization to dispose of the treasury shares purchased under this authorization at any time, in whole or in part, in one or more transactions. These disposals may be carried out by: (i) Using the shares as consideration in extraordinary transactions, including share exchanges with other entities, as part of operations in the interest of the Company; (ii) Allocating the shares for other legally permitted purposes, including serving future incentive plans adopted by the Company under the terms and conditions established by such plans; (iii) Selling the shares on or off the stock exchange, including through the transfer of real and/or personal rights, such as securities lending, for purposes permitted by law and under terms, conditions, and methods deemed most appropriate in the interest of the Company.
