Milan, 29th April 2025 – The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Recordati S.p.A. was held today, which has approved, among others, the Company's 2024 Financial Statements as proposed by the Board of Directors.
Based on the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders' Meeting further resolved a dividend to shareholders of € 0.67 per share, in full balance of the interim 2024 dividend of € 0.60, for all shares outstanding at the ex-dividend date, excluding treasury shares in the portfolio at that date (payment on 21st May 2025 and record date 20th May 2025), with ex-dividend on 19th May 2025 (against presentation of coupon no. 35). The full 2024 dividend is therefore € 1.27 per share (€ 1.20 per share in 2023).

At the end of the Shareholders' Meeting, the new Board of Directors met and confirmed Andrea Recordati as Chairman, and Robert Koremans as Chief Executive Officer. The latter was vested with the powers previously granted to him and, in line with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, was also appointed to the position of Director with responsibility for the Internal Audit and Risk Management System, in line with the previous term.
The Board of Directors - based on the duties carried out - classified the following as executive directors: Robert Koremans, CEO, and Luigi La Corte, Group CFO, as well as Giampiero Mazza and Cathrin Petty, in light of their executive roles in the indirect controlling company or other companies in the chain of control, who were however not granted individual operating powers; the latter have, moreover, declared that they do not intend to receive any remuneration for the office, thus waiving the remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the office of Director.
The Board of Directors also confirmed Mr. Niccolò Giovannini, VP Group Finance, as Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to art. 154-bis of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998)
Based on the statements made by the Directors and the information available to the Company, the Board of Directors then ascertained the fulfilment of the requirements of independence, both pursuant to Legislative Decree 58/1998 and to the Corporate Governance Code, of the Directors who declared themselves to meet them (Diva Moriani, also appointed as Lead Independent Director, Stephen Sands, Joanna Le Couilliard and Piergiorgio Peluso).
Lastly, the Board established the following committees, in line with the resolutions of the outgoing Board:
The Shareholders' Meeting expressed a favourable vote on the Remuneration Policy for 2025 pursuant to Art. 123-ter of Legislative Decree 58/98 and favourable note was taken of the report on the compensation paid in relation to the implementation, in 2024, of the policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 22nd April 2024, both of which are contained in the Remuneration Report available on the Company website.
Renewal of the authorisation for the buy-back and disposal of treasury shares

The Shareholders' Meeting authorised the purchase and disposal of treasury stock until the approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Financial Statements as at 31st December 2025. In line with previous years, this proposal fulfils multiple purposes:
(i) fulfilling the obligations arising from the stock option and/or financial instruments (performance shares) based plans already adopted by the Company and other incentive plans which may be approved in the future;
(ii) supporting business initiatives, since the authorisation to purchase treasury stock, if granted, will allow transactions such as the sale, contribution and exchange of treasury stock in order to acquire stakes in companies and/or to reach agreements with strategic partners within the Group's expansion objectives;
(iii) supporting the Recordati's shares liquidity, in order to promote the regular course of the shares' negotiations and avoid price fluctuations inconsistent with the market trend.
The maximum of number of shares available for purchase is 3,500,000 and, in any case, on the condition that, at any time, the total face value of the treasury stock held by the Company never exceeds one fifth of the share capital, also considering the shares that may be held by the subsidiaries, for a potential maximum outlay of € 200,000,000, with a minimum consideration not less than the face value of the Recordati share (€ 0.125) and a maximum consideration not greater than the average of the official stock exchange prices in the five sessions prior to the purchase, plus 5%. Purchases, if any, may be completed through the assignment of specific positions to specialised intermediaries and must be performed in compliance with applicable law and according to the practices permitted by Consob in line with the provisions of art. 13 of EU Regulation 596/2014, where applicable.
At 25 th April 2025, the Company has 3,130,654 shares in treasury stock, which amounts to 1.497% of the current share capital.
Today, the Board of Directors has also approved the launch of a new share buy-back program under art. 5 of (EU) Regulation no. 596/2014 for a maximum of 2,000,000 ordinary shares with a maximum cash outlay of €125,000,000. This implements the resolution adopted today by the Shareholders' meeting to purchase Recordati ordinary shares in order to service current and future stock option/performance shares plans in favour of the Recordati Group's management or share-based incentive plans that might be approved by the Company in the future.
All details required by the applicable regulations on the launch of the share buy-back program - whose start is envisaged for tomorrow, 30th April 2025, until 7th November 2025 - will be included in a specific press release that will be issued according to law and to which reference is made.
In light of the appointment of two directors based in the United States, in order to facilitate their participation to board meetings also - where necessary - remotely, notice is hereby given that, starting with the board meeting currently scheduled for 29th July 2025, it is intended to change the timing (dates unchanged) of board meetings as per the company's financial calendar already disclosed to the market, moving them from the morning to the afternoon.
