1. Subject matter of the Delegation

The Extraordinary Meeting of 26 May 2020 had granted the Board of Directors, pursuant to art. 2443 of the Italan Civil Code, the power to increase the share capital, in one or more tranches and, in any case, in a divisible manner, with the exclusion of the right of option pursuant to art. 2443 and 2441, paragraph 4, second period, of the Italian Civil Code, through the issue, even in several tranches, of a number of ordinary shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of doValue shares in circulation on the date of any exercise of the delegation.

Taking into account that the delegation will expire in May 2025 and that it has not been exercised even partially to date, we propose to renew it for the same amount and duration, therefore setting its expiry date at 28 April 2030.

In accordance with Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, the Articles of Association, also through the amendments thereto, may grant to the Directors the authority to increase, on one or more occasions, the capital up to a specified amount and for a maximum period of five years from the date of the related resolution, also in accordance with Art. 2441, paragraph 4 of the Italian Civil Code.

The Delegation that we propose to grant to the Board of Directors has the aim to increase the share capital in accordance with art. 2441, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code. In particular, since the doValue shares have no par value, the Delegation includes the right to increase on one or more occasions the share capital through the issue, also in one or more tranches, of a number of ordinary shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of doValue shares outstanding on the date the Delegation is exercised and, however, for a nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the existing share capital, with no pre-emption rights and with the right to determine any

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

share premium, all to be exercised within the period of five years from the date of the shareholders' resolution granting the Delegation (i.e. the maximum period pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code).

2. Reasons for the Delegation and criteria for its exercise

doValue has been engaged in an extensive change management process for some time now, aimed at the creation and development of a leading Group at international level in the management of primarily nonperforming loans for banks and public and private investors, to support this process and the growth strategy aimed at creating even greater value for Shareholders, it is important that the Company is able, also in the near future, to obtain the financial resources required quickly and in as flexible a way as possible, in order to promptly seize the opportunities on the market. It is precisely because of the characteristics of the financial markets that it is extremely important be able to act swiftly, to take advantage of the most favourable times to obtain the necessary resources to finance investments.

In addition to the flexibility with regard to the choice of the best times to act, with respect to the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting, an additional advantage of the Delegation is that it will allow the Board of Directors to establish the economic terms and conditions of the global offering (including the maximum amount of the offer and the issue price of the shares in question, in accordance with best practice for similar transactions, within the legal limits and criteria outlined below) based on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the launch of the transaction, thus also reducing the risk of fluctuations of stock market rates between the time of announcement and the time of the transaction, which would arise if these matters were decided by the shareholders' meeting.

As a matter of fact, extending the offer to third parties can be a valuable tool to increase the free float and make it possible to maintain an adequate liquidity of doValue shares at all times.

The resources raised through the exercise of the Delegation may be allocated, in addition to the growth strategies mentioned above, also to the enhancement of existing investments, and, more generally, to the fulfilment of any financial requirements that may arise in the five years from the date of the shareholders' resolution.

3. Criteria used to determine the issue price

The new shares will be offered at a price that will be established from time to time by the Board of Directors, including any share premium, on the understanding that in accordance with Art. 2441, paragraph 4, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code, excluding the pre-emption right within the limit of 10% of the total number of shares outstanding (no par value) is conditional on the issue price being consistent with the market value of the shares, as confirmed by a specific report written by an independent auditor or auditing firm.

In accordance with the foregoing, subject to any share premium that may be established by the Board of Directors, the subscription price of the new shares may also be lower than the pre-existing book value.

4. Duration of Delegation and time limits for its exercise

We propose that the Delegation will be effective for the five year legal maximum term, starting from the date of the Shareholders' resolution, and to establish that it can be exercised on one or more occasions. This means that, if approved by the Shareholders' Meeting called for April 29, 2025, the Delegation must, in any case, be exercised within the deadline of April 28, 2030, after which it will terminate automatically.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the timing of exercising the Delegation, pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, as well as the terms and conditions of any issue will depend on the real opportunities that arise and will be promptly announced to the market in accordance with applicable laws and regulations as soon as they have been determined by the Board of Directors.

5. Amount of the Delegation

Any increase in capital resolved upon in exercising the Delegation may not include the issue of a number of ordinary shares exceeding 10% of the total number of doValue shares outstanding on the date of the possible exercise of the Delegation and may not have a maximum nominal amount exceeding 10% of the pre-existing share capital, without prejudice to the right of the Board of Directors to determine any share premium.
