"Appointment to certify the compliance of consolidated sustainability reporting pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 125/2024 for the three-year period 2025-2027."

Shareholders,

with reference to the fourth item on the , the Board of Directors of Unidata has called you to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to submit for your approval the reasoned proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors regarding the appointment of the auditing firm EY S.p.A. for the three-year period 2025-2027 to certify the compliance of the consolidated sustainability reporting pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 125/2024, also determining the fee payable to the latter for entire duration of the engagement and any criteria adjusting this fee during the engagement.

We remind you that:

  • on September 10, 2024, Legislative Decree No. 125 of September 6, 2024 (the "Decree") came into force, by which Directive 2022/2464/EU, known as the socalled Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ("CSRD"), regarding corporate sustainability reporting, was transposed into our law;
  • the Decree repealing the regulations on the disclosure of non-financial information introduced into our legal system by Legislative Decree No. 254 of December 30, 2016 - replaced the obligation to prepare the non-financial statement (so-called "DNF") provided for certain entities, with the obligation to include in a special section of the management report a sustainability statement that must be consolidated (in the case of the Company) and must contain the information required by the Decree;
  • therefore, as of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the Company will be obliged to include in a special section of the management report the information necessary for understanding the Group's impact on sustainability issues, as well as the information necessary for understanding how these issues affect the Group's performance, results and position. Such reporting shall be prepared by the administrative body in accordance with the reporting standards adopted by the European Commission (European Sustainability Reporting Standards - "ESRS");
  • the specially appointed sustainability auditor expresses in the report referred to in Article 14-bis of the aforementioned D. Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010, on the basis of a limited examination, its conclusions about the compliance of the above

reporting to the rules of the Decree governing its drafting criteria, compliance with the sustainability reporting marking requirement, as well as about compliance with compliance with the disclosure requirements of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of June 18, 2020;

  • in accordance with the provisions of the Decree, the assignment related to the issuance of the sustainability reporting compliance attestation report may be undertaken by a statutory auditing firm, licensed pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010, provided that such report is signed by an auditor of the sustainability reporting, also providing that the statutory auditing firm may be the same statutory auditing firm in charge of the statutory audit of the company;
  • Pursuant to the new Article 13, paragraph 2-ter, of Legislative Decree No. 39/2010 introduced by the Decree, the appointment for the attestation of sustainability reporting is granted, upon the reasoned proposal of the supervisory body, by the shareholders' meeting, which also determines the fee due to the sustainability auditor for the entire duration of the appointment and any criteria for adjusting this fee during the appointment. The term of the appointment is three years, expiring on the date of the shareholders' meeting called approve the financial statements for the third year of the appointment. It should be noted that in connection with the appointment of this engagement, the selection procedure provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014 for the appointment of statutory auditors does not apply.

Therefore, it is necessary to award, in accordance with the Decree, task of compliance attestation of consolidated sustainability reporting for three-year period 2025-2027.

That being said, on March 13, 2025, the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors received from EY, the entity already in charge of the statutory audit of Unidata's annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2023-2031, a proposal for an engagement related to the attestation of compliance of the consolidated sustainability reporting for the limited assurance engagement.

This appointment proposal was screened by the Company and evaluated by the Board of Statutory Auditors which, on April 3, 2025, formulated its reasoned proposal, attached to this explanatory report. In particular, the Board of Statutory Auditors proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, pursuant to the aforementioned Article 13, paragraph 2-ter, of Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010, to confer the assignment of attesting the compliance of the consolidated sustainability reporting, pursuant to the Decree, for the three-year period 2025-2027, to EY S.p.A. for an annual fee of 22,000.00 euros (excluding VAT and technology and administration expenses of 8 percent), including the expenses necessary to perform the activity, for each year of the audit, in addition to the CONSOB supervisory fee and the ancillary charges required by law, all as indicated in

more detail in the attached reasoned proposal.

It should also be noted that, on February 26, 2025, the European Commission presented the so-called "Omnibus package," still awaiting final approval by the European Parliament and Council, which contains a number of proposals to simplify European sustainability regulations with the aim of reducing the reporting burdens on companies, as envisaged by the CSRD, by, among other things, limiting the number of companies required to prepare individual and consolidated sustainability reporting. Therefore, with the entry into force of the measures in the so-called Omnibus package, if finally approved, Unidata may no longer be required to prepare sustainability reporting.
