Dear Shareholders,
You are invited to resolve as follows:
"To approve the statutory financial statements at December 31, 2024 of Eni S.p.A., which report a net profit amounting to €6,419,275,358.30."
Dear Shareholders,
The Shareholders' Meeting of 15 May 2024 provided for the recourse to the available reserves for the distribution of €1.00 per share, for and in place of the payment of the dividend for financial year 2024. The first three tranches of the distribution were paid in September 2024, November 2024 and March 2025. The fourth tranche will be paid in May 2025.
Considering, therefore, that the distribution for and in place of the dividend for financial year 2024 makes use of Eni S.p.A.'s available reserves, the profit achieved in financial year 2024 is to be carried forward, allocating it to the available reserve.

The proposed amendments affect the 2025 allocation only and aim to reshape the structure and weighting of the targets, which have been further adjusted in relation to Eni's evolving strategies, as well as aligned with stakeholder interests and industry best practices.
In addition, some updates were made to the definition of "managers with strategic responsibilities" in relation to changes in the Company organisation and management committees in the meantime.

You are invited to resolve as follows:
"In favour of the second section of the Remuneration Report, which explains the remuneration paid in 2024 as well as the remuneration pertaining to 2024 to the Directors, Statutory Auditors, General Managers and, in aggregate form, to other Managers with strategic responsibilities."
Dear Shareholders,
as part of the Company's 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, presented to the market on 14 March 2024, a treasury shares buyback programme ("buyback") was provided for, for an amount of €1.1 billion, increasable up to a maximum of €3.5 billion if the conditions set out by the Plan be met.
In execution of the authorisation conferred by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 15 May 2024, the Company carried out, between 27 May 2024 and 20 February 20251 , a buyback programme in which it purchased a total of no. 144,125,411 shares, representing 4.4% of the Company's share capital, for a total counter-value of €1,999,999,991.
On 13 March 2025, in execution of the authorisation granted by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 15 May 2024, all treasury shares purchased in the context of the 2024 buyback programme with the purpose of remunerating the Shareholders were cancelled (no. 137,725,411 shares).
As of today, therefore, the Company holds no. 91,610,327 treasury shares in its portfolio, representing 2.9% of the share capital.
As indicated in the 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, presented to the market on 27 February 2025, Eni intends to distribute between 35% and 40% of the annual CFFO (Cash Flow From Operations) in the form of dividends and buyback. In the presence of an upside in cash generation, the Company intends to allocate up to 60% of the incremental cash flows from the plan to the buyback.
In line with the Plan, Eni therefore intends to launch in 2025 a new buyback programme for €1.5 billion for the purposes specified in paragraph 1 below. The amount of the buyback programme may be increased on the basis of any upsides as described above, up to a total maximum of €3.5 billion.
That said, the Board of Directors proposes to authorise the purchase of Eni treasury shares of the Company, in accordance with the Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, Article 132 of the CLF, Article 144-bis of the IR, for the purposes, within the terms and in accordance with the procedures specified below.
The request for authorisation is aimed at attributing to the Board of Directors the option to purchase treasury shares of the Company, in compliance with the relevant laws and any applicable permitted market practices, in line with what is provided for in the Company's 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, communicated to the market on 27 February 2025, and, in particular, for the purposes of paying its Shareholders an additional remuneration compared to the distribution of dividends.
Therefore, the Board of Directors submits at the same time to the Shareholders' Meeting, in the extraordinary session, the proposal to cancel the treasury shares purchased in execution of the authorisation outlined in this report.
For further information on the subject of the cancellation proposal, please see the report of
1 Date on which the buyback programme of the Company for 2024 ended.
the Board of Directors pursuant to item 9 on the agenda of the extraordinary part.
As of the date of approval of this Report by the Board of Directors (3 April 2025), the share capital of Eni S.p.A. amounts to €4,005,358,876.00 and is represented by no. 3,146,765,114 ordinary shares with no par value.
It is proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting authorise the purchase of treasury shares, at several times, for a total outgoing up to €3.5 billion and for a maximum number of shares of 315,000,000 ordinary shares (equal to approximately 10% of the share capital of Eni S.p.A.).
Pursuant to Article 2357, first paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code, the purchases will be carried out within the limits of distributable profit and available reserves as reported in the most recent regularly approved financial statements.
Part of the available reserves or distributable profits will be restricted for accounting purposes, for an amount equal to the purchases of treasury shares made, by attribution to a specific reserve that will be unavailable as long as the treasury shares are in the portfolio.
At the date of approval of this Report by the Board of Directors, the Company holds no. 91,610,327 treasury shares in its portfolio, equal to about 2.9% of the share capital.
The authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares is requested up to the end of April 2026.
The requested authorisation provides for purchases to be made at a price to be determined on a case-by-case basis, having regard to the procedures selected to execute the transaction and in compliance with any regulatory requirements and current accepted market practices, if applicable, which shall not be more than 10% lower or greater than the official price registered by the Eni S.p.A.'s stock in the trading session of the Euronext Milan, organised and operated by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., on the day before each individual transaction.
The requested authorisation provides that purchases shall be carried out in a manner consistent with any regulatory requirements and current accepted market practices that may be applicable.
At present, these methods are governed by Article 132 of the CLF, Article 144-bis of the IR, Article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council of April 16, 2014 ("MAR") and the related implementing provisions.
In particular, in compliance with the provisions of Article 132, paragraph 1 of the CLF, purchases of treasury shares shall be executed in such a manner as to ensure equal treatment of Shareholders:
The Board of Directors also submits to the Shareholders' Meeting, in extraordinary session, the proposal to cancel treasury shares purchased in execution of the authorisation referred to in this Report, specifying that the cancellation will be made without a nominal reduction of the share capital, in consideration of the absence of nominal value of Eni's shares.
Dear Shareholders,
You are invited to resolve as follows:
"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting
resolves
1) to authorise the Board of Directors — pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code — to proceed with the purchase of shares of the Company, in multiple tranches, for a period up to the end of April 2026, for the purposes referred to in the explanatory report of the Board of Directors, within the time limits and on the conditions set out below:
- on regulated markets in accordance with the operating procedures established in the rules on the organisation and operation of the markets themselves, which do not permit the direct matching of bids with predetermined offers;
- with the procedures established by market practices accepted by Consob pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014, if applicable;
- under the conditions specified in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014, as specified in this proposed resolution;
2) to confer on the Board of Directors - with the right to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and to sub-delegate by the same any power necessary to execute the resolutions referred to in the previous points, taking all actions required, appropriate, instrumental and/or connected with the successful execution of those resolutions, as well as to provide the market disclosure required by legislation, including EU rules, and current accepted market practices that may be applicable."
The Company's Shareholders Remuneration Policy, last approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2025 and communicated to the market during presentation of the 2025-2028 Plan, envisages a remuneration of the Shareholders through a combination of dividends and buyback. In particular, as well as the buyback programme pursuant to item 6 on the agenda of this Shareholders' Meeting, the Shareholders Remuneration Policy envisages, for 2025, a dividend of €1.05 per share, to be paid in 4 tranches.
This dividend is consistent with the 2025-2028 Plan, which provides for a significant cash generation capacity and is also sustainable in economic-financial and capital terms. In addition, with specific reference to Eni S.p.A, the capital and financial sustainability is further reflected in its high capitalisation and financial strength resulting, among other things, from the financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2024.
The dividend for financial year 2025 of €1.05 per share corresponds to a total distribution of approx. €3.2 billion considering the shares outstanding, the payment of which is provided for according to the following schedule:
In line with what was done for the distribution of the dividend of financial year 2024, in order to ensure the payment of the dividend envisaged for 2025, before the approval of the related financial statements, the Board of Directors proposes that the Shareholders' Meeting resolve to distribute Eni S.p.A.'s available reserves, for and in place of the payment of the dividend for financial year 2025, including, where necessary and appropriate in the interest of the shareholders, the portion of the revaluation reserve pursuant to Law No. 342/2000, the reduction and use of which is submitted for the approval of this Shareholders' Meeting under item 8 on the agenda of the extraordinary session.
The amount of the distribution provided for in the 2025 Remuneration Policy of approx. €3.2 billion is amply covered by the amount of Eni S.p.A.'s available reserves. In this regard, it should be noted that as at 31 December 2024, Eni S.p.A.'s available reserves amount to a total of approx. €35 billion, in addition to the profit for financial year 2024 (approx. €6.4 billion) to be carried forward (see item 2 of this agenda above).
The Shareholders' Meeting is also requested to delegate to the Board of Directors the execution of the aforementioned resolution and the ascertainment that there are no obstacles to the distribution of the above dividend in terms of the capital and financial sustainability of the use of reserves for that distribution, having regard to the overall context in which the Company operates, as well as the performance and financial situation of the Company and the Eni Group emerging from the accounting data and forecasts for the whole year referable to: (i) June 30, 2025, for the distribution of September 2025; (ii) September 30, 2025, for the distribution of November 2025; (iii) the 2025 annual preliminary results, for the distribution of March 2026 and (iv) 2025 draft annual financial statements, for the distribution planned in May 2026.
In regards of the above, the adoption of the following resolution is proposed:
"Dear Shareholders, in accordance with the Shareholders Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors of Eni S.p.A. on 26 February 2025, which sets a dividend of €1.05 per share for 2025 and distribution in 4 tranches you are invited to resolve as follows:
As already stated under item 7 on the agenda of this Shareholders' Meeting, to which reference should be made, the Company's Shareholders Remuneration Policy, last approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2025 and communicated to the market during presentation of the 2025-2028 Strategic Plan (the "2025-2028 Plan"), envisages a remuneration of the Shareholders through a combination of dividends and buyback. In particular, as well as the buyback programme pursuant to item 6 on the agenda of this Shareholders' Meeting, the Shareholders Remuneration Policy envisages, for 2025, a dividend of €1.05 per share, to be paid in 4 tranches according to the following schedule: September 2025 (€0.26 per share); November 2025 (€0.26 per share); March 2026 (€0.26 per share); May 2026 (€0.27 per share).
For the purposes of implementing the distribution described above - which is consistent with the indications of the 2025-2028 Plan and is also sustainable from both an economic and equity standpoint - the use of Eni S.p.A.'s available reserves is envisaged, the distribution of which therefore takes place for of and in place of the payment of the dividend relating to the 2025 financial year as illustrated in item 7 on the agenda.
The available reserves also include the revaluation reserve pursuant to Law No. 342/2000, which amounted to €5,139 million as at 31 December 2024.
It should be noted that the reduction of the revaluation reserve pursuant to Law No. 342/2000 and its consequent use, are subject, by virtue of the reference made by Article 13 of the same law, to compliance with the provisions of the second and third paragraphs of Article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code.
In this regard, it should be noted that the terms set forth in the third paragraph of Article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code apply as of registration in the Business Register of the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting approving the use of the reserve in question.
Considering the reference made by Art. 13 of Law No. 342/2000, which envisages, for the reduction of the revaluation reserve provided for by the law itself and its consequent use, compliance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of Art. 2445 of the Italian Civil Code, the Board submits the resolution to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
In connection with this, the Shareholders' Meeting is asked to authorise the reduction of the reserve pursuant to Law No. 342/2000 and its consequent use in the amount of €2,300 million, it being understood that if compliance with the legal provisions required to complete the procedure pursuant to the aforementioned third paragraph of Art. 2445 of the Italian Civil Code should not allow its use in time for the distribution of subsequent tranches, or in the interest of the shareholders it should be deemed necessary or appropriate to proceed in another manner for such purposes, the distribution relating to the tranches concerned would be made using Eni S.p.A.'s other available reserves.
The Shareholders' Meeting is also requested to delegate to the Board of Directors the execution of the aforementioned resolution and the ascertainment that there are no obstacles to the implementation of the aforementioned Remuneration Policy in terms of the capital and financial sustainability of the use of reserves for that distribution, having regard to the overall context in which the Company operates, as well as the performance and financial situation of the Company and the Eni Group emerging from the accounting data and forecasts for the whole year referring, respectively, to: (i) 30 June 2025, for the distribution of September 2025; (ii) 30 September 2025, for the distribution of November 2025; (iii) the 2025 annual preliminary results, for the distribution of March 2026 and (iv) 2025 draft annual financial statements, for the distribution planned in May 2026.
In regards of the above, the adoption of the following resolution is proposed:
"Dear Shareholders, in accordance with the Shareholders Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors of Eni S.p.A. on 26 February 2025, which sets a dividend of €1.05 per share for 2025 and distribution in 4 tranches in the months of: (i) September 2025 (€0.26 per share); (ii) November 2025 (€0.26 per share); (iii) March 2026 (€0.26 per share) and (iv) May 2026 (€0.27 per share), you are invited to resolve as follows:
Dear Shareholders,
with reference to the purchase of Eni ordinary shares submitted for your authorisation pursuant to item 6 on the agenda of the present Shareholders' Meeting in ordinary session, the Board of Directors has called you to an extraordinary session to resolve on the proposal to cancel the treasury shares that will be purchased on the basis of the aforesaid authorisation, for a maximum number of 315,000,000 treasury shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company's share capital.
The cancellation proposal is in line with the purposes of the purchase, as already stated in the Report containing an explanation of the aforementioned authorisation pursuant to item 6 on the agenda of the present Shareholders' Meeting in ordinary session.
The cancellation - the execution of which is entrusted to the Board of Directors, with the option of delegation to the Chief Executive Officer and sub-delegation by the same - may be made also through several actions, even before the purchase of the maximum number of shares authorised today by the Shareholders' Meeting in ordinary session under the terms of item 6 on the agenda and by and no later than July 2026.
The cancellation of treasury shares will not have effect on the Company's economic performance and will not modify the value of Shareholders' equity.
The cancellation will be followed by the amendment of Art. 5.1 of the By-laws in the part in which they indicate the number of shares into which the share capital is divided.
It is proposed, therefore, to add a last paragraph to the current Art. 5 of the By-laws as shown in the table presented below. This paragraph will subsequently be annulled once the cancellation has been completed.
| CURRENT TEXT | PROPOSED TEXT | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ART. 5 | ART. 5 | ||||
| 5.4 (non-existent) | 5.4. The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 14 May 2025 authorised the cancellation of a maximum of no. 315,000,000 Eni's treasury shares purchased in execution of the treasury share buyback programme approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 14 May 2025, conferring delegated powers on the Board of Directors – with the option of delegation to the Chief Executive Officer and sub-delegation by the same – to perform this cancellation, with several actions or at one time, by July 2026, to change, as a consequence, the number of shares indicated in paragraph 1 of this article, reducing it by a number of shares equal to those effectively |
| cancelled, and to proceed, after completing the |
|---|
| cancellation, to annul this paragraph. |
The Board believes that the proposed amendment does not give Shareholders the right of withdrawal pursuant to art. 2437 of the Italian Civil Code.
Dear Shareholders,
now therefore, on condition that today's Shareholders' Meeting in ordinary session has approved the authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares of the Company pursuant to item 6 on the agenda of this Report, you are asked to approve the following resolution on the present proposal:
"The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, having seen the Report of the Board of Directors,
1) to authorise the Board of Directors, with the option of delegation to the Chief Executive Officer and sub-delegation by the same, to cancel up to a maximum of no. 315,000,000 treasury shares with no nominal value, which will be purchased on the basis of the authorisation of the Shareholders' Meeting in ordinary session today; the cancellation will occur keeping the amount of the share capital unchanged and through the reduction of the related specific reserve (equal to the carrying amount of the shares cancelled);
2) to approve, as of now, after the treasury share cancellation pursuant to point 1 has been completed, the amendment of Art. 5, paragraph 1 of the By-Laws in the part related to the number of shares into which the Eni S.p.A.'s share capital is divided, indicating in the same paragraph the number of shares that will effectively exist as a consequence of the execution of this cancellation;
3) to add a final paragraph in Article 5 of the By-Laws as follows:
"The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 14 May 2025 authorised the cancellation of a maximum of no. 315,000,000 Eni's treasury shares purchased in execution of the treasury share buyback programme approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 14 May 2025, conferring delegated powers on the Board of Directors – with the option of delegation to the Chief Executive Officer and sub-delegation by the same – to perform this cancellation, with several actions or at one time, by July 2026, to change, as a consequence, the number of shares indicated in paragraph 1 of this article, reducing it by a number of shares equal to those effectively cancelled, and to proceed, after completing the cancellation, to annul this paragraph;
4) to grant the Board of Directors - with the authority to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and for the latter to sub-delegate - all powers needed to execute the resolution, taking all actions required, appropriate, instrumental and/or connected with the successful execution of the resolutions pursuant to the previous points, as well as to make any necessary additions, changes and formal deletions for registering in the Business Register and do whatever else is necessary and appropriate for the success of the resolution".

On 18 March 2025 the Eni Board of Directors resolved, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 12 March 2025 and with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer, to present the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval.
Following the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors will implement the Plan, deliberating the annual allocation of Eni Shares in favour of the CEO and, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, the approval, for each annual award, of the Regulation and the targets of the absolute objectives, as well as, also through delegated subjects, the identification of beneficiaries on the basis of the defined criteria and any other terms and conditions for implementation to the extent they do not conflict with the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting.

3.5 The role played by each director in determining the characteristics of said Plan, any situations of conflict of interest arising concerning the relevant directors
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, which Eni has adopted, the conditions of the Plan have been defined based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee. The proposal to submit the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, was then approved by the Board of Directors, with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer, after obtaining the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with Art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Plan, in relation to its Beneficiaries, constitutes a related party transaction subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, therefore the specific procedures defined by Consob resolution No. 17221 of 12.3.2010 ("Regulation on related party transactions") are not applied, in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph 10 of the Management System Guideline "Transactions with the interests of Directors and statutory auditors and transactions with related parties" adopted by Eni.
3.6 Date of the decision taken by the competent body to propose the approval of the plan to the shareholders' meeting and any proposal of a remunerations committee, where existing
On 16 March 2023, the Board of Directors, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 8 March 2023, resolved to present the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting on 10 May 2023. Subsequently, on 168 March 20235, the Board of Directors, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 812 March 20235, resolved to proposed amendment to the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting.
3.7 Date of the decision taken by the competent body with regards to the granting of instruments and the potential proposal to said body by a remunerations committee, where existing
The Plan's implementation is resolved annually by the Board of Directors based on the proposal by the Compensation Committee, by the end of October for the award of Eni Shares by the end of November. Eni Shares are granted by the end of November of the year following the end of the three-year performance period, after the results are approved by the Board of Directors, subject to verification and approval by the Compensation Committee.
3.8 The market price, recorded on said dates, for the financial instruments on which the plans are based, if traded on regulated markets
The official Eni Share price at 16th18 March 20232025 (the date of approval by the Board of Directors to submit the proposed amendment to the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting):
€ 12.1543 14.15 euro.
The Plan and its terms and conditions are previously approved with the ex-ante determination of the timing and the criteria for determining the number of Eni Shares to be granted without the possibility of exercising discretionary powers.
The number of Eni Shares to award to each beneficiary is calculated based on a set percentage of fixed remuneration (linked to the level of the position held) and with regard to the Award Price of Eni Share. The length of the period (4 months) considered for calculating the Award Price of Eni Shares rules out the possibility that the award can be significantly affected by the possible dissemination of inside information within the meaning of article 114, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
The granting of Eni Shares free of charge to each beneficiary takes place by the year after the one in which the three-year performance period ends, (from 1st January of the award year to 31st December of the 3rd year), based on the Shares awarded and the performance results approved by the Board of Directors, subject to verification and approval of the Compensation Committee.
Beneficiaries are required to comply with the provisions of insider dealing legislation and applicable regulations, in particular with reference to the disposition of the shares involved in any granting after the verification of the achievement of the performance objectives.
4.1 Description of the ways in which the compensation plans based on financial instruments are structured
The Plan provides for three annual awards of Eni Shares free of charge that may be granted after three years. The amount of the grant of Eni Shares is linked with the performance conditions achieved according to the specified parameters and other conditions.
For the purposes of the grant of Eni Shares to the Beneficiaries, Eni Shares already held as treasury shares will be used, allocated to serve the Plan subject to a specific resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting.
The Plan provides for three annual awards for the period 2023-2025. Each award is subject to a Vesting Period of three years and consequently the period of implementation of the Plan runs from 2023 to 2028, as described in the scheme below.

The Plan will expire in 2028, at the end of the Vesting Period for the last award in 2025.
The number of Eni Shares to award will be calculated based on a set percentage of the fixed remuneration, which is the component of the annual remuneration whose payment is guaranteed, and on the Award Price of Eni Share.
The number of Eni Shares to be granted will be defined as a percentage of those awarded, as specified in paragraph 4.5 below.
4.5 Methods and clauses for the implementation of the plan, specifying if the effective attribution of the instruments is subject to conditions being met or given results being achieved, including performance-related; a description of said conditions and results
The performance conditions of the Plan are related to four objectives, assessed for each Performance Period in comparison with the Peer Group or in absolute terms vs the target figures of the Strategic Plan, after a careful process of verifying the results actually achieved by the Remuneration Committee, which supports the resolutions passed on the issue by the Board of Directors.
Specifically, the performance conditions are defined as follows:
The Objectives and related weightings are as follows:
The descriptions of each parameter are given below, together with related definition and performance verification methods, and the determination of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period.
$$TSR_A \text{ - } TSR_I \text{ * } \rho_{A,I}$$
Where:
TSRA: TSR of Eni or one of the companies in the Peer Group TSR I: TSR of the reference stock market index of the company to which the TSRA applies; ρ A,I : Correlation Index
The TSR is calculated for all the companies in the performance period over three years in US dollars (USD), as the ratio between the 2 following terms:
For Eni and the Peer Group companies whose reference share prices are not originally expressed in USD (Eni, BP, TotalEnergies, Shell, Equinor, Repsol and OMV), the above averages are calculated by converting to USD the daily reference prices of the shares and any dividends using the Bloomberg daily exchange rate (London close).
The TSR of each Reference Stock Market Index is calculated using the same methods employed for the TSR of Eni and of the companies in the Peer Group, including conversions to USD. Therefore, the Correlation Index is calculated considering the prices of the shares of the companies and the quotations of their Reference Stock Market Index appropriately converted to USD.
The result of the parameter is determined according to the International GHG Emission Reporting Standards (e.g. GHG protocol) appropriately implemented in the Eni regulatory system, with independent verification of final data by certification Companies.
Award objectives 2025
The objectives and related weightings are as follows:
The descriptions of each parameter are given below, together with related definition and performance verification methods, and the determination of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period.
The benchmark Peer Group is made up of 6 European companies in the Energy sector characterised by an integrated portfolio and similar energy transition and decarbonisation paths to Eni: Shell, BP, TotalEnergies, Equinor, Repsol, OMV.
of Directors in the year of award and kept unchanged over the performance period.
The result of the parameter is determined according to the International GHG Emission Reporting Standards (e.g. GHG protocol) appropriately implemented in the Eni regulatory system, with independent verification of final data by certification Companies.
The performance levels (threshold, target and maximum) of the absolute parameters for the first 2025 award (with performance period 2025-2027) are shown in the following table:
| Threshold | Target | Maximum | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absolute targets |
Indicator | Measurement unit | 80% | 130% | 180% |
| Financial and Equity Target |
Organic Free Cash Flow | Euro billions cumulated in the three-year period 2025-2027 |
13.24 | 14.74 | 16.24 |
| Leverage | % at 12.31.2027 | 18.7% | 15.9% | 13.2% | |
| Environmental Sustainability and Energy Transition Target |
Net emissions upstream Scope 1 and 2 - equity |
MtonCO2eq. in 2027 | 29 | 28 | 27 |
| Biojet production capacity | kton/year Biojet production capacity at 12.31.2027 |
760 | 800 | 840 |
Absolute objectives are verified by neutralising the impact of exogenous factors1 , such as the commodity price scenario along the entire value chain (upstream and downstream), exchange rates (euro/dollar) and interest rates, as well as events that, by their nature, are not attributable to management action.
Final target results for absolute targets are determined using a process to neutralise the impact of external factors, for example the commodity price scenario throughout the entire value chain (upstream and downstream), exchange rates (Euro/USD) and interest rates, as well as other occurrences which by their nature cannot be attributed to management performance, based on a methodological note periodically updated by the Remuneration Committee which, among other things, takes into account the regulatory framework and/or accounting standards for the main economic and financial metrics.
The result of the relative parameter is determined on the basis of a partial multiplier, varying between zero and 180% and calculated based on the positioning in the Peer Group according to the following scale, with minimum performance set at the median positioning level (4th place).
1 Exogenous variables are those events that, due to their nature or though Company choice, are not under the control of the managers, such as, for example, Oil & Gas prices or the euro/dollar exchange rate.

The result for each absolute parameter will be assessed on the basis of a partial multiplier ranging between 0 and 180% determined as a function of performance as in the following chart.

The number of shares to grant (AAS) at the end of the vesting period is determined using the following formula:
$$\mathbf{A}_{\rm AS} = \mathbf{A}_{\rm AT} \ge \mathbf{M}_{\rm F}$$
where AAT is the number of Eni shares awarded and MF is the final multiplier equal to the weighted average of the partial multipliers of each parameter.
No Eni Shares are granted if the Final Multiplier is lower than 40%.
Finally, the Plan provides for the adoption, through the specific Regulation approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, of clawback and malus mechanisms that allow to apply:
These mechanisms shall apply in cases when the incentives (or the rights thereto) have vested based on data that subsequently proved to be manifestly misstated or in cases of wilful alteration of the same data.
The same mechanisms shall apply in cases of termination for disciplinary reasons, including serious and intentional violations of law and/or regulations, the Code of Ethics or Company rules, without prejudice to any action allowed under law for the protection of the Company's interests.
The Policy provides that the activation of recoupment claims (or withdrawal of incentives awarded but not yet paid) must take place, once appropriate verification has been completed, within three years of payment (or award) in cases of error, and within five years in cases of deliberate intent to defraud.
4.6 Indication of any restrictions of availability affecting the instruments attributed or the instruments from the year of the options, with specific reference to the terms within which the subsequent transfer to the company or third parties is permitted or prohibited
In order to further enhance alignment with the interests of shareholders over the long term, the Plan states that, at the end of the Vesting Period, 50% of the Eni Shares granted are subject to a lock-up period of 2 years, i.e. the Eni Shares cannot be transferred and/or sold, by managers in service, for 2 year after the grant date, in line with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code.
4.7 Description of any termination conditions in relation to the attribution of plans in the event that the addressees should carry out hedging operations that enable the neutralisation of any prohibitions of the sale of the financial instruments granted, also in the form of options, or financial instruments arising from the exercise of these options
Not applicable.
The Regulation of the Plan provides as follows:
If the Chief Executive Officer is not reappointed at the end of the mandate, the granting of Eni Shares of each award will be made pro-rata with respect to the period of stay in the office, according to the results of performance achieved during the same period. In the other cases, the Plan Regulation will apply.
In the event that the market conditions of Eni Share do not allow the implementation of the Plan within the limits of the defined provision, the Board of Directors may review the terms of the Plan or possibly cancel it.
4.10 Reasons in relation to the potential provision for "redemption" by the Company of the financial instruments covered by the plans, arranged in accordance with Art. 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption, specifying if it is only intended for specific categories of employees; the effects of the termination of employment on said redemption
Not applicable.
4.11 Any loans or other benefits intended to be granted for the purchase of shares in accordance with Art. 2358 of the Italian Civil Code
Not applicable.
4.12 Indication of assessments of the forecast burden for the company on the date of the related granting, as can be determined on the basis of the terms and conditions already defined, for the total amount and in relation to each plan instrument
The execution of the Plan provides for a maximum of 16 million treasury shares to be assigned for all grants, and can also use thereto the approximately 6.7 million treasury shares originally allocated to the ILT 2020-2022 Plan and no longer assignable. The maximum number of grantable shares has been estimated in the event of achievement of maximum performance (180%), in the Vesting Period of each attribution and taking into account the value of the 1st decile of prices recorded by Eni shares over the last three years.
The corresponding cost to the Company of the implementation of the Plan, depending on the number of Eni Shares actually assigned and on the Award Price of Eni Shares, is currently not determinable and will be communicated in accordance with art. 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation.
4.13 Indication of any dilution effects on the capital determined by the compensation plans
There is no impact on the amount of the share capital, as the Eni shares allocated to serve the Plan will be composed exclusively of Eni treasury shares already held, subject to specific authorization of the Shareholder's Meeting.
The possible grant to Beneficiaries of Eni treasury shares will dilute the voting rights of the other Eni shareholders. Currently the voting rights attaching to Eni's treasury shares are suspended in accordance with art. 2357-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code; once assigned to the Beneficiaries, these Eni Shares will give voting rights to their owners. The grant of Eni Shares to Beneficiaries can give rise to a maximum dilution of voting rights of 0.5% For example, a package of shares representative of 1% of voting rights before granting would be diluted maximally at 0.995%.
4.14 Any limits envisaged for the exercise of voting rights and the attribution of economic rights
Eni Shares granted at the end of the Vesting Period will enjoy ordinary rights since no limits to the exercise of voting rights or economic rights for these shares are envisaged, except as provided in paragraph 4.6.
4.23 Criteria for the adjustments necessary following extraordinary capital operations and other operations entailing the change in the number of underlying instruments (capital increases, extraordinary dividends, groupings and splitting of the underlying shares, mergers and spinoffs, conversions into other share categories, etc.)
Eni's Board of Directors, where the conditions exist, may adapt the terms and conditions of the Plan as a result of the following operations:
c) increase of Eni's capital stock against payment, also through the issue of shares with warrants attached, bonds convertible into Eni shares and bonds with warrants to subscribe Eni shares; the sale of treasury shares that are not at the service of Share Incentive Plans is equated with a capital stock increase;
The table containing information on the Plan will be provided, in accordance with Art. 84- bis of the Issuers' Regulation, at the time the Shares are awarded during the implementation of the Plan to be approved by Eni's Board of Directors.

2.1 Objectives to be achieved by means of the attribution of the Plan
With the expiry of the 2020-2022 Long-Term Share Incentive Plan, a new 2023-2025 sharebased ILT plan was introduced to support the achievement of the guidelines defined in the Company's Strategic Plan by promoting the alignment of management interests with the priority goal of creating sustainable value for shareholders, through an adequate balance of performance parameters.
The Plan provides for three annual awards, each of which includes a three-year Vesting Period in line with the best practice in the industrial sector internationally.
The Plan envisages performance conditions, in support of the implementation of the Strategic Plan, that are consistent with the objectives communicated to the market and in line with shareholders' interests.
The proposed amendment to the Plan impacts the 2025 award only and concerns the remodelling of the structure and weighting of the objectives, were further adjusted with respect to the development of Eni strategic guidelines and with the aim of ensuring alignment with stakeholder interests and best practices for the sector.
The incentive levels are defined as a percentage of fixed remuneration, in accordance with the following principles of the remuneration policy adopted by Eni:
consistency of the total remuneration with the market levels applicable for similar positions or roles with a similar level of responsibility and complexity, based on panels of companies that are comparable to Eni;
variable remuneration for managerial positions that have a greater influence on business performance characterized by a significant percentage of long-term incentive components, through appropriate deferment over a period of at least three years, in line with the long-term nature of Eni's business and with the associated risk profile.
The performance indicators are given in paragraph 4.5 below.

3.1 Scope of powers and functions delegated by the shareholders' meeting to the board of directors in order to implement the Plan
The Eni Board of Directors Meeting on 16th March 2023 resolved, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 8th March 2023 and with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer, to submit the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval; the Plan was subsequently approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 10 May 2023.
On 18 March 2025 the Eni Board of Directors resolved, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 12 March 2025 and with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer, to present the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval.
Following the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors will implement the Plan, deliberating the annual allocation of Eni Shares in favour of the CEO and, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, the approval, for each annual award, of the Regulation and the targets of the absolute objectives, as well as, also through delegated subjects, the identification of beneficiaries on the basis of the defined criteria and any other terms and conditions for implementation to the extent they do not conflict with the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting.
3.2 Indication of the parties appointed to administrate the plan and their function and competence
Administration of the Plan is entrusted to the competent Eni functions.
3.3 Any procedures in place for the review of plans, including in relation to any alteration of the basic objectives
There are no procedures for amending the Plan except as provided in paragraph 4.23.
3.4 Description of the methods by which to determine the availability and grant the financial instruments on which the Plan is based
The Plan provides for the granting of Eni Shares free of charge after three years from their award depending on the achievement of predefined performance conditions.
3.5 The role played by each director in determining the characteristics of said Plan, any situations of conflict of interest arising concerning the relevant directors
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, which Eni has adopted, the conditions of the Plan have been defined based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee. The proposal to submit the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, was then approved by the Board of Directors, with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer, after obtaining the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with Art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Plan, in relation to its Beneficiaries, constitutes a related party transaction subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, therefore the specific procedures defined by Consob resolution No. 17221 of 12.3.2010 ("Regulation on related party transactions") are not applied, in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph 10 of the Management System Guideline "Transactions with the interests of Directors and statutory auditors and transactions with related parties" adopted by Eni.
3.6 Date of the decision taken by the competent body to propose the approval of the plan to the shareholders' meeting and any proposal of a remunerations committee, where existing
On 16 March 2023, the Board of Directors, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 8 March 2023, resolved to present the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting on 10 May 2023. Subsequently, on 18 March 2025, the Board of Directors, based on a proposal by the Compensation Committee of 12 March 2025, resolved to proposed amendment to the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting.
3.7 Date of the decision taken by the competent body with regards to the granting of instruments and the potential proposal to said body by a remunerations committee, where existing
The Plan's implementation is resolved annually by the Board of Directors based on the proposal by the Compensation Committee, by the end of October for the award of Eni Shares by the end of November. Eni Shares are granted by the end of November of the year following the end of the three-year performance period, after the results are approved by the Board of Directors, subject to verification and approval by the Compensation Committee.
3.8 The market price, recorded on said dates, for the financial instruments on which the plans are based, if traded on regulated markets
The official Eni Share price at 18 March 2025 (the date of approval by the Board of Directors to submit the proposed amendment to the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting):
€ 14.15 euro.
The Plan and its terms and conditions are previously approved with the ex-ante determination of the timing and the criteria for determining the number of Eni Shares to be granted without the possibility of exercising discretionary powers.
The number of Eni Shares to award to each beneficiary is calculated based on a set percentage of fixed remuneration (linked to the level of the position held) and with regard to the Award Price of Eni Share. The length of the period (4 months) considered for calculating the Award Price of Eni Shares rules out the possibility that the award can be significantly affected by the possible dissemination of inside information within the meaning of article 114, paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
The granting of Eni Shares free of charge to each beneficiary takes place by the year after the one in which the three-year performance period ends, (from 1st January of the award year to 31st December of the 3rd year), based on the Shares awarded and the performance results approved by the Board of Directors, subject to verification and approval of the Compensation Committee.
Beneficiaries are required to comply with the provisions of insider dealing legislation and applicable regulations, in particular with reference to the disposition of the shares involved in any granting after the verification of the achievement of the performance objectives.
4.1 Description of the ways in which the compensation plans based on financial instruments are structured
The Plan provides for three annual awards of Eni Shares free of charge that may be granted after three years. The amount of the grant of Eni Shares is linked with the performance conditions achieved according to the specified parameters and other conditions.
For the purposes of the grant of Eni Shares to the Beneficiaries, Eni Shares already held as treasury shares will be used, allocated to serve the Plan subject to a specific resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting.
4.2 Indication of the period of effective plan implementation also with reference to any different cycles envisaged
The Plan provides for three annual awards for the period 2023-2025. Each award is subject to a Vesting Period of three years and consequently the period of implementation of the Plan runs from 2023 to 2028, as described in the scheme below.

The Plan will expire in 2028, at the end of the Vesting Period for the last award in 2025.
4.4 Maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, granted each tax year in relation to the entities identified or the specified categories
The number of Eni Shares to award will be calculated based on a set percentage of the fixed remuneration, which is the component of the annual remuneration whose payment is guaranteed, and on the Award Price of Eni Share.
The number of Eni Shares to be granted will be defined as a percentage of those awarded, as specified in paragraph 4.5 below.
4.5 Methods and clauses for the implementation of the plan, specifying if the effective attribution of the instruments is subject to conditions being met or given results being achieved, including performance-related; a description of said conditions and results
The performance conditions of the Plan are related to objectives, assessed for each Performance Period in comparison with the Peer Group or in absolute terms vs the target figures of the Strategic Plan, after a careful process of verifying the results actually achieved by the Remuneration Committee, which supports the resolutions passed on the issue by the Board of Directors.
Specifically, the performance conditions are defined as follows:
The Objectives and related weightings are as follows:
The descriptions of each parameter are given below, together with related definition and performance verification methods, and the determination of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period.
Relative parameters
$$T\mathcal{S}\mathcal{R}_A \text{ -- } T\mathcal{S}\mathcal{R}_I \text{ -- } ^*\rho_{A,I} \text{ --}$$
Where:
TSRA: TSR of Eni or one of the companies in the Peer Group TSR I: TSR of the reference stock market index of the company to which the TSRA applies;
ρA,I : Correlation Index
The TSR is calculated for all the companies in the performance period over three years in US dollars (USD), as the ratio between the 2 following terms:
For Eni and the Peer Group companies whose reference share prices are not originally expressed in USD (Eni, BP, TotalEnergies, Shell, Equinor, Repsol and OMV), the above averages are calculated by converting to USD the daily reference prices of the shares and any dividends using the Bloomberg daily exchange rate (London close).
The TSR of each Reference Stock Market Index is calculated using the same methods employed for the TSR of Eni and of the companies in the Peer Group, including conversions to USD. Therefore, the Correlation Index is calculated considering the prices of the shares of the companies and the quotations of their Reference Stock Market Index appropriately converted to USD.
The result of the parameter is determined according to the International GHG Emission Reporting Standards (e.g. GHG protocol) appropriately implemented in the Eni regulatory system, with independent verification of final data by certification Companies.
The objectives and related weightings are as follows:
The descriptions of each parameter are given below, together with related definition and performance verification methods, and the determination of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period.
The benchmark Peer Group is made up of 6 European companies in the Energy sector characterised by an integrated portfolio and similar energy transition and decarbonisation paths to Eni: Shell, BP, TotalEnergies, Equinor, Repsol, OMV.
Absolute parameters
The result of the parameter is determined according to the International GHG Emission Reporting Standards (e.g. GHG protocol) appropriately implemented in the Eni regulatory system, with independent verification of final data by certification Companies.
The performance levels (threshold, target and maximum) of the absolute parameters for the first 2025 award (with performance period 2025-2027) are shown in the following table:
| Threshold | Target | Maximum | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absolute targets |
Indicator | Measurement unit | 80% | 130% | 180% |
| Financial and Equity Target |
Organic Free Cash Flow | Euro billions cumulated in the three-year period 2025-2027 |
13.24 | 14.74 | 16.24 |
| Leverage | % at 12.31.2027 | 18.7% | 15.9% | 13.2% | |
| Environmental Sustainability and Energy Transition Target |
Net emissions upstream Scope 1 and 2 - equity |
MtonCO2eq. in 2027 | 29 | 28 | 27 |
| Biojet production capacity | kton/year Biojet production capacity at 12.31.2027 |
760 | 800 | 840 |
Final target results for absolute targets are determined using a process to neutralise the impact of external factors, for example the commodity price scenario throughout the entire value chain (upstream and downstream), exchange rates (Euro/USD) and interest rates, as well as other occurrences which by their nature cannot be attributed to management performance, based on a methodological note periodically updated by the Remuneration Committee which, among other things, takes into account the regulatory framework and/or accounting standards for the main economic and financial metrics.
The result of the relative parameter is determined on the basis of a partial multiplier, varying between zero and 180% and calculated based on the positioning in the Peer Group according to the following scale, with minimum performance set at the median positioning level (4th place).

The result for each absolute parameter will be assessed on the basis of a partial multiplier ranging between 0 and 180% determined as a function of performance as in the following chart.

The number of shares to grant (AAS) at the end of the vesting period is determined using the following formula:
$$\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{AS}} = \mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{AT}} \ge \mathbf{M}_{\mathbf{F}}$$
where AAT is the number of Eni shares awarded and MF is the final multiplier equal to the weighted average of the partial multipliers of each parameter.
No Eni Shares are granted if the Final Multiplier is lower than 40%.
Finally, the Plan provides for the adoption, through the specific Regulation approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, of clawback and malus mechanisms that allow to apply:
These mechanisms shall apply in cases when the incentives (or the rights thereto) have vested based on data that subsequently proved to be manifestly misstated or in cases of wilful alteration of the same data.
The same mechanisms shall apply in cases of termination for disciplinary reasons, including serious and intentional violations of law and/or regulations, the Code of Ethics or Company rules, without prejudice to any action allowed under law for the protection of the Company's interests.
The Policy provides that the activation of recoupment claims (or withdrawal of incentives awarded but not yet paid) must take place, once appropriate verification has been completed, within three years of payment (or award) in cases of error, and within five years in cases of deliberate intent to defraud.
4.6 Indication of any restrictions of availability affecting the instruments attributed or the instruments from the year of the options, with specific reference to the terms within which the subsequent transfer to the company or third parties is permitted or prohibited
In order to further enhance alignment with the interests of shareholders over the long term, the Plan states that, at the end of the Vesting Period, 50% of the Eni Shares granted are subject to a lock-up period of 2 years, i.e. the Eni Shares cannot be transferred and/or sold, by managers in service, for 2 year after the grant date, in line with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code.
4.7 Description of any termination conditions in relation to the attribution of plans in the event that the addressees should carry out hedging operations that enable the neutralisation of any prohibitions of the sale of the financial instruments granted, also in the form of options, or financial instruments arising from the exercise of these options Not applicable.
4.8 Description of the effects determined by the termination of employment
The Regulation of the Plan provides as follows:
in the cases of consensual termination of the Beneficiary's employment relationship, or the loss of control by Eni of the Subsidiary of which the Beneficiary is an employee, or the transfer of the company (or of the business unit) of which the Beneficiary is an employee to a non-subsidiary, occurring by the date on which the Board of Directors establishes the final percentage for the grant, the cash value of a predefined percentage of the number of Awarded Shares, based on the Award Price, will be paid to the Beneficiary in proportion to the period between the award and the occurrence of the above events, as well as in relation to the results recorded during this period;
in the case of the Beneficiary's death, the heirs retain the right to receive the entire amount of the Awarded Shares at the Award Price;
If the Chief Executive Officer is not reappointed at the end of the mandate, the granting of Eni Shares of each award will be made pro-rata with respect to the period of stay in the office, according to the results of performance achieved during the same period. In the other cases, the Plan Regulation will apply.
4.9 Indication of any other causes for the cancellation of the plans
In the event that the market conditions of Eni Share do not allow the implementation of the Plan within the limits of the defined provision, the Board of Directors may review the terms of the Plan or possibly cancel it.
4.10 Reasons in relation to the potential provision for "redemption" by the Company of the financial instruments covered by the plans, arranged in accordance with Art. 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption, specifying if it is only intended for specific categories of employees; the effects of the termination of employment on said redemption
Not applicable.
4.11 Any loans or other benefits intended to be granted for the purchase of shares in accordance with Art. 2358 of the Italian Civil Code
Not applicable.
4.12 Indication of assessments of the forecast burden for the company on the date of the related granting, as can be determined on the basis of the terms and conditions already defined, for the total amount and in relation to each plan instrument
The execution of the Plan provides for a maximum of 16 million treasury shares to be assigned for all grants, and can also use thereto the approximately 6.7 million treasury shares originally allocated to the ILT 2020-2022 Plan and no longer assignable. The maximum number of grantable shares has been estimated in the event of achievement of maximum performance (180%), in the Vesting Period of each attribution and taking into account the value of the 1st decile of prices recorded by Eni shares over the last three years.
The corresponding cost to the Company of the implementation of the Plan, depending on the number of Eni Shares actually assigned and on the Award Price of Eni Shares, is currently not determinable and will be communicated in accordance with art. 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation.
4.13 Indication of any dilution effects on the capital determined by the compensation plans
There is no impact on the amount of the share capital, as the Eni shares allocated to serve the Plan will be composed exclusively of Eni treasury shares already held, subject to specific authorization of the Shareholder's Meeting.
The possible grant to Beneficiaries of Eni treasury shares will dilute the voting rights of the other Eni shareholders. Currently the voting rights attaching to Eni's treasury shares are suspended in accordance with art. 2357-ter, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code; once assigned to the Beneficiaries, these Eni Shares will give voting rights to their owners. The grant of Eni Shares to Beneficiaries can give rise to a maximum dilution of voting rights of 0.5% For example, a package of shares representative of 1% of voting rights before granting would be diluted maximally at 0.995%.
4.14 Any limits envisaged for the exercise of voting rights and the attribution of economic rights
Eni Shares granted at the end of the Vesting Period will enjoy ordinary rights since no limits to the exercise of voting rights or economic rights for these shares are envisaged, except as provided in paragraph 4.6.
4.15 If shares are not traded on regulated markets, all information that will help fully assess the value that can be assigned to them
Not applicable.
Eni's Board of Directors, where the conditions exist, may adapt the terms and conditions of the Plan as a result of the following operations:
c) increase of Eni's capital stock against payment, also through the issue of shares with warrants attached, bonds convertible into Eni shares and bonds with warrants to subscribe Eni shares; the sale of treasury shares that are not at the service of Share Incentive Plans is equated with a capital stock increase;
The table containing information on the Plan will be provided, in accordance with Art. 84- bis of the Issuers' Regulation, at the time the Shares are awarded during the implementation of the Plan to be approved by Eni's Board of Directors.
