REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA

Allocation of net income for the year.

Dear Shareholders,

We firstly remind you that the dividend policy – as previously approved by the Board of Directors during the years 2018 and 2019 – provides the distribution of the annual dividend in two tranches: one as an interim dividend and one as a balance dividend.

In addition to the above, we remind you that during the last month of February 2025 the Board of Directors – within the ambit of the update for the year 2025 of the Strategic Plan 2024-2028 "The Connecting Platform" – upgraded the above said dividend policy, providing for a pay-out ratio equal to the 70% of the Group net result for the entire duration of such Plan.

In light of the above, on 6 November 2024 the Board of Directors has approved, pursuant to Article 2433-bis of the Italian Civil Code and Article 26.3 of the Company's Bylaws, the distribution of an interim dividend for the financial year 2024 of 0.33 euro per share (for a total amount of about euro 427 million), that has been paid, gross of any withholding tax, from 20 November 2024.

Given the amount of the paid interim dividend and considering that the Poste Italiane Group's net consolidated income for 2024 amounts to 2,013 million euro (1,994 million euro being the share pertaining to the Group), we propose the distribution of a balance of the dividend amounting to 0.75 euro per share, to be paid in June 2025 in accordance with the dates communicated to the market on 14 January 2025, when the corporate calendar of events for the year 2025 was released, and precisely: (i) 25 June 2025 as the payment date, (ii) 23 June 2025 as the "ex dividend" date, and (iii) 24 June 2025 as the record date (i.e., the date of entitlement to the aforesaid dividend).

Therefore, the total dividend for the financial year 2024 amounts to 1.08 euro per share, in increase of 35% in comparison with the dividend of 0.800 euro per share for the financial year 2023.

In light of all the foregoing, and considering that:

• the legal reserve exceeds the maximum of one-fifth of the share capital (as required by article 2430, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code); and
• as provided for by article 8.3 of the Rules for BancoPosta's Ring-fenced Capital (the text of which is available on the Company's website www.posteitaliane.it), given the absence of contributions by third parties to BancoPosta's Ring-fenced Capital, Shareholders' Meetings resolve – including upon proposal by the Board of Directors – on the allocation of the Company's net income for the tear, and specifically: (i) the part regarding BancoPosta's Ring-fenced Capital, as shown in the related report, taking into account its specific rules and, in particular, the necessity of complying with the capital requirements of prudential supervision, and thus (ii) the remaining part, including the part of the net income referred to under (i) not allocated to the ring-fenced capital;

we submit for your approval the following

Proposal

The present Shareholders' Meeting of Poste Italiane S.p.A., having examined the report of the Board of Directors,

resolves

• 1. to allocate the net income of BancoPosta's Ring-fenced Capital, amounting to 614,956,640 euro as follows:

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE NINTH ITEM OF THE AGENDA

Authorization for the acquisition and the disposal of own shares, serving the incentive plans based on financial instruments. Related resolutions

Dear Shareholders,

You have been convened to discuss and resolve upon granting the Board of Directors ("BoD") with an authorization for the acquisition and the disposal of own shares of Poste Italiane S.p.A. ("Poste Italiane" or the "Company"), pursuant to Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, for the purposes and in accordance with the terms and modalities described below.

1. Reasons for the authorization request

The request for authorization is aimed at granting the BoD with the right to purchase and dispose of own shares of the Company, in compliance with the relevant applicable (also European Union) laws, to fulfil the obligations arising from the variable remuneration, to be paid in shares of Poste Italiane, for directors or employees of the Poste Italiane Group. More specifically, the own shares are destined to fulfil the "Incentives Plans", i.e.:

• the long-term incentives plan "ILT Performance Share 2025-2027";
• the short-term incentive plan 2025, based on financial instruments, for the Material Risk Takers of Patrimonio BancoPosta.

In particular, the long-term incentives plan "ILT Performance Share 2025-2027" has the objective of strengthening the link between the variable component of the remuneration and the long term strategy of Poste Italiane Group, in line with the budget and the objectives of the Strategic Plan, over a multi-year horizon. Such plan calls for the use of ordinary shares of Poste Italiane and, through the establishment of adequate periods of non-availability, it ensures a constant alignment between the interests of the beneficiaries and those of the shareholders, fostering the loyalty of key resources of the Company and Poste Italiane Group. The beneficiaries are the Chief Executive Officer, the General Director of the

Company and the "key resources", directors and executives, of the Poste Italiane Group that perform relevant functions for the implementation of the guidelines of the Strategic Plan. Concerning the short-term incentive plan 2025 based on financial instruments for the Material Risk Takers of Patrimonio BancoPosta, therein included the Chief Executive Officer, in line with the relevant legislation, the objective is to link the remuneration to the strategy of Patrimonio BancoPosta. Such plan represents, furthermore, a useful tool for strengthening the focus on the creation of value and on management by objectives, encouraging management continuity in the long-term generating a retention effect, and sustaining the culture of integration and efficiency, as well as engaging those responsible for the strategic plans.

Based on the abovementioned requirements the purchase of own shares of the Company may concern a maximum number of 2.6 million shares, for a maximum amount of 50 million euros.

If, once the allocation provided for under the incentives plans has been made, there are outstanding own shares, the latter may be disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions set out, from time to time, by the BoD or by the persons authorised by it, without prejudice to compliance with the limits provided for under any applicable legislation.

It should be recalled that the Company carried out (i) on February 2019, an initial purchase of own shares programme – authorized by the Shareholders Meeting of 29 May 2018 for a maximum number of 65.3 million shares and a total amount of 500 million euros – according to which the Company acquired a total of 5,257,965 shares for an amount of 39,999,993.98 euros; (ii) in the period between 30 May 2022 and 13 June 2022 (ends included) a second purchase of own shares programme – authorized by the Shareholders Meeting of 27 May 2022 for a maximum number of 2.6 million shares and a total amount of 40 million euros – according to which the Company acquired a total of 2,600,000 shares for an amount of 25,300,204.62 euros; (iii) in the period between 10 and 31 May 2023 (ends included) a third purchase of own shares programme – authorized by the Shareholders Meeting of 8 May 2023 for a maximum number of 3.5 million shares and a total amount of 52.5 million euros – according to which the Company acquired a total of 3,500,000 shares for an amount of 33,984,897.83 euros; and (iv) in the periods between 3 and 10 June 2024 (ends included),

Taking into account the share grants starting from 2021 in execution of previous incentive plans, the own shares currently held by Poste Italiane amount to 12,181,546 shares (equal to the 0.93% of the share capital).

2. Maximum number of shares to which the authorization refers

It is hereby proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting authorizes the acquisition of own shares, in one or more instalments, up to a maximum number of 2.6 million Poste Italiane ordinary shares, representing approximately the 0.20% of the Company's share capital, which currently amounts to 1,306,110,000.00 euros divided in 1,306,110,000 shares without par value and up to a maximum amount of 50.0 million euros.

Pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, the acquisitions shall be made within the limits of distributable net income and of the available reserves, as per the most recent duly approved financial statements. In this regard, please note that the available reserves resulting from Poste Italiane's draft financial statements as of 31 December 2024, which is submitted to the approval of this Shareholders' Meeting, are equal to an overall amount of approximately 1,517 million euros, before the distribution of dividends has resolved.

The authorization includes the right to dispose, in one or more instalments, of all or part of the own shares in portfolio, also before having reached the maximum amount of shares that can be purchased as well as, as the case may be, to buy-back the shares, provided that the own shares held by the Company and, if applicable, by its subsidiaries, do not exceed the limit established by the authorization.

3. Further useful information for assessing compliance with Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code

At the date of this report, the share capital of Poste Italiane amounts to 1,306,110,000.00 euros, divided into 1,306,110,000 ordinary shares without par value.

The Company currently owns 12,181,546 own shares in portfolio, as indicated above, which were acquired (i) in February 2019, (ii) in the period between 30 May 2022 and 13 June 2022, (iii) in the period between 10 May 2023 and 31 May 2023, and (iv) in the periods between 3 June 2024 and 10 June 2024, between 7 August 2024 and 10 August 2024, and on 7 April 2025, and which purpose was to fulfil the obligations deriving from the incentives plans already assigned.

4. Term for which the authorization is requested

The authorization to purchase own shares is requested for the maximum term provided for by Article 2357, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, equal to eighteen months starting from the date on which the Shareholders' Meeting grants the authorization. During such period, the BoD may carry out the acquisitions freely determining the amount and times, in compliance with the relevant applicable (also European Union) laws.

5. Minimum and maximum consideration

Under the requested authorization, purchases shall be made at a price which shall be determined from time to time, taking into account the specific modality selected to carry out the transaction and in compliance with the regulatory provisions (also of European Union), if any and that the purchases are made in accordance with the conditions to trading set out under Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the "Regulation 1052") implementing Regulation (EU) 596/2014, where applicable.

(named "Euronext Milan") in the trading day preceding each transaction.

Under the same requested authorization, the sale or any other disposal of own shares in portfolio shall take place in accordance with the terms and conditions determined from time to time by the BoD, in compliance with the purposes and criteria illustrated above, and in any case according to the limits (if any) provided for by the relevant applicable (also of European Union) laws from time to time and any guidelines received from the competent Supervisory Authorities.

6. Modalities for the acquisition and disposal of own shares

Given the several purposes indicated in paragraph 2 above, under the requested authorization, acquisitions shall be carried out in compliance with most of the modalities provided for by the relevant applicable (also European Union) laws, in particular in accordance with the conditions and limitations to trading set out under Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation 1052.

The buyback programme shall be carried out under the modalities currently set forth by Article 132 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Financial Act"), by Article 144-bis of Consob Resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation"), by Article 5 of the Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 and its relating implementing measures.

According to the operative modalities for implementing the purchase programme, it is envisaged that it may be carried out by means of direct or indirect purchases, within the framework of a mandate to be granted to a specialized financial intermediary that, in case

of direct purchases, shall follow the orders given by Poste Italiane and, in case of indirect purchases, shall act independently within the limits of the general parameters and limits set out by Poste Italiane, all in accordance with the applicable legislation and the limits set out above.

From the transparency point of view, the operation shall be communicated to the market in accordance with the applicable legislation. In particular, the following documents shall be published:

• a price sensitive press release, setting out the characteristics of the programme, at the start of the acquisition programme, i.e. (i) in the event of direct purchases, on the day preceding the date at which the purchase instructions are given to the financial intermediary, and (ii) in the event of indirect purchases at the execution of the agreement with the financial intermediary (Art. 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1052); both press releases will be published at closed market;
• at least on a weekly basis, press releases on the purchases made (Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1052);

Under the same requested authorization, acts of disposal and/or use of own shares shall be made with the modalities deemed the most appropriate and compliant with the interest of the Company and, in any case, in accordance with the relevant applicable (also of European Union) laws.

7. Information on the relation, if any, between the purchase of own shares and the purpose of reducing the share capital

This request for authorization to purchase own shares is not instrumental to the reduction of the share capital.
