| What are the | 1. | Risks relating to the structure of TIP's business model | ||||||
| key risks | • TIP is exposed to risks resulting from direct investments through its balance sheet. The materialisation of any such risks could |
|||||||
| that are | reduce the value and return of TIP's investments; | |||||||
| specific to | • Changes in the value of equities, bonds and other financial instruments may impact the value of TIP's assets and shareholders' |
|||||||
| the Issuer? | equity. TIP may be negatively affected by adverse changes in the market price of its listed security investments; | |||||||
| • TIP is exposed to specific risks associated with holding minority stakes. No assurance can be given that TIP will be able to fully |
||||||||
| protect its interests from the decisions of majority shareholders or the sponsors of its co-investments; | ||||||||
| • TIP is exposed to liquidity risk related to certain equity interests, in particular investments in unlisted companies. TIP may face |
||||||||
| limitations or obstacles to freeing amounts invested in such positions to make new investments; | ||||||||
| • TIP's investments entail risks related to the valuation of these investments, which may differ from the value at which they may be |
||||||||
| sold. There can be no assurance that the implementation of TIP's valuation methods will ensure that TIP's investments are valued consistently with the value that would be obtained upon the sale of such holdings; |
||||||||
| • The Adjusted Data included in the Prospectus is not indicative of TIP's future performance and reliance on such data without |
||||||||
| understanding its limitations could lead to an incorrect assessment of TIP's results and financial position; and | ||||||||
| • The estimated intrinsic value and net intrinsic value do not represent actual results or values and reliance on such data could lead |
||||||||
| to an incorrect assessment of TIP's financial position. | ||||||||
| 2. | Risks associated with macro economic conditions | |||||||
| TIP's earnings and financial position and those of its investments (or the companies in which they invested) are particularly | ||||||||
| influenced by the general state of the economy in the countries in which they operate and by the variables which affect performance. | ||||||||
| It is therefore not possible to provide an accurate indication of the future trends of such factors which may adversely affect TIP. | ||||||||
| 3. | Risks relating to legal proceedings and with the development and interpretation of tax regulations | |||||||
| • There can be no assurance that in the future the Issuer will not be a party to claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and |
||||||||
| other legal proceedings including those that arise in the ordinary course of its business; and | ||||||||
| • Any increase in the level of taxation, or the introduction of new taxes, to which TIP and its principal subsidiaries and affiliates may |
||||||||
| be subject, could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP. | ||||||||
| 4. | Risks relating to the Issuer's management, reputation and the competitive environment in which it operates The success of TIP and its investment strategy depends to a large extent on the abilities of its own senior executives and of the |
|||||||
| other components of the management team to efficiently manage TIP and its investments. If TIP should lose the contribution of | ||||||||
| key executives, this could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP and its | ||||||||
| investments. | ||||||||
| What are the main features of the |

| which |
conditions and timetable can I invest in this security? The Offering is addressed to the general public in Italy and to qualified investors (as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) and to institutional investors (the "Investors") following the approval of this Prospectus by the Central Bank of Ireland in its capacity as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation, and the effectiveness of the notification of this Prospectus by the Central Bank of Ireland to the competent authority in Italy, the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa ("CONSOB") according to Article 25 of the Prospectus Regulation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Offering is not addressed to the general public in Ireland. Offering Period The Offering will open on 9 June 2025 at 09:00 (CET) and will expire on 13 June 2025 at 17:30 (CET) (the "Offering Period End Date"), subject to amendment, extension or postponement by the Issuer, Equita SIM S.p.A. (the "Placement Agent") and Banca Akros S.p.A. (the "Joint Bookrunner", and, together with the Placement Agent, the "Joint Bookrunners") (the "Offering Period"). Any such amendment, extension or postponement shall be carried out by way of the publication of a supplement to this Prospectus (a "Supplement") (as such amendment, postponement or extension will be a significant new factor pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation). The Issuer and the Joint Bookrunners expressly reserve the right to withdraw the Offering at any time prior to 17:30 (CET) on the Offering Period End Date including if offers to purchase the New Bonds ("Purchase Offers") are lower than the Offer Amount. Furthermore, the Joint Bookrunners, in agreement with the Issuer, has the right to cancel the launch of the Offering before the Offering has taken place and upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary events. If the launch of the Offering is cancelled or the Offering is withdrawn, the Offering itself and all submitted purchase offers will be deemed cancelled. If, prior to the Issue Date, Borsa Italiana has failed to set the MOT Trading Start Date (as defined below), the Offering will be automatically withdrawn by giving notice to the Central Bank of Ireland, Euronext Dublin and, no later than the day after notice has been given to the Central Bank of Ireland and Euronext Dublin, by notifying the general public by way of a notice published on the Issuer's website and the Euronext Dublin Website, and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account. Pricing Details The New Bonds will be issued at a maximum price of 102.50 per cent. of their principal amount. The Interest Rate of the New Bonds is 4.625 per cent. per annum (the "Rate of Interest"). Disclosure of the Issue Price and Yield and Results of the Offering: The issue price (which shall not be more than the Maximum New Bonds Issue Price) will be determined on the basis of the tenor of the New Bonds, the yield and demand from investors in the course of the determination of the conditions (the "Bookbuilding Procedure") prior to the start of the Offering Period. In the course of the Bookbuilding Procedure, the Joint Bookrunners will accept within a limited period of time indications of interest in subscribing for the New Bonds from investors, including credit spreads usually within a predetermined spread range. Subsequently, the Joint Bookrunners will determine, in consultation with the Issuer based on, among other things, the quantity and quality of the expressions of interest received from investors during the Bookbuilding Procedure, the final yield. The issue price of the New Bonds (which shall not be more than the Maximum New Bonds Issue Price) and the yield will be set out in the Issue Price and Yield Notice, which will be filed with the Central Bank of Ireland and published on the websites of the Issuer (https://www.tipspa.it/en/) and Euronext Dublin (https://live.euronext.com/) and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account prior to the start of the Offering Period. The aggregate principal amount of the New Bonds, the number of New Bonds sold and the proceeds of the Offering will be set out in a notice, which will be filed with the Central Bank of Ireland and published on the websites of the Issuer (https://www.tipspa.it/en/) and Euronext Dublin (https://live.euronext.com/) and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account no later than the second business day prior to the New Bonds Issue Date. No trading in the New Bonds will start before the Offering Results Notice is published. Conditions of the Offering The Offering is not subject to any conditions. Subscription rights for the New Bonds will not be issued. Therefore, there are no procedures in place for the exercise of any right of pre-emption, the negotiability of subscription rights and the treatment of subscription rights not exercised. Technical Details of the Offering on the MOT The Offering will occur through Purchase Offers made by Investors on the MOT through Intermediaries (as defined below) and coordinated by the Joint Bookrunners, who has been appointed by the Issuer to offer and display the New Bonds for sale on the MOT according to the trading rules of Borsa Italiana. Purchase Offers may only be made with the MOT through an investment company, bank, wealth management firm, registered financial intermediary, securities house and any other intermediary authorised to make Purchase Offers directly on the MOT or - if such institution is not qualified to perform transactions on the MOT - through an intermediary or agent authorised to do so (each an "Intermediary"). Purchase Offers must be made during the operating hours of the MOT for a minimum quantity of aggregate par value of €1,000 of the New Bonds, and may be made for any multiple thereof. During the Offering Period, Intermediaries may make irrevocable Purchase Offers directly or through any agent authorised to operate on the MOT, either on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, in compliance with the operational rules of the MOT. The New Bonds shall be assigned, up to their maximum availability, based on the chronological order in which Purchase Offers are made on the MOT. The acceptance of a Purchase Offer on the MOT does not alone constitute the completion of a contract with respect to the New Bonds requested thereby. The perfection and effectiveness of contracts with respect to the New Bonds are subject to confirmation of the correct execution of the Purchase Offer and issuance of the New Bonds. Each Intermediary through whom a Purchase Offer is made will notify Investors of the number of New Bonds they have been assigned within the Issue Date, which is also the date on which Investors will be required to remit payment in exchange for the issuance of New Bonds that have been accepted by the Issuer. After the end of the Offering Period, Euronext Dublin, in conjunction with the Issuer, shall set and give notice of the start date of the official admission to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Dublin and Borsa Italiana shall set and give notice of the start date of official trading of the New Bonds on the MOT (the "MOT Trading Start Date"). The MOT Trading Start Date shall correspond to the Issue Date. Investors wishing to make Purchase Offers who do not have a relationship with any Intermediary may be requested to open an account or make a temporary deposit for an amount equivalent to that of the Purchase Offer. In case of partial sale of the New Bonds or a cancellation or withdrawal of the Offering, all amounts paid as temporary deposits, or any difference between the amount deposited with the Intermediary and the aggregate value of the New Bonds actually sold to the Investor, will be repaid to the Investor who initiated the
| Purchase Offer by the Issue Date. Any Purchase Offer received outside the Offering Period, or within the Offering Period but outside the operating hours of the MOT, will not be accepted. Investors may place multiple Purchase Offers. Purchase Offers placed by Italian Investors through telecommunication means are not subject to the existing withdrawal provisions applicable to distance marketing of consumer financial services, services in accordance with articles 67-bis and 67-duodecies of Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005 as regards the public offer in Italy. Revocation of Purchase Offers: If the Issuer publishes any Supplement, any investor who has placed a Purchase Offer prior to the issuance of the Supplement shall be entitled to revoke such Purchase Offer by no later than the second business day following the publishing of the Supplement in accordance with Article 23(2) of the Prospectus Regulation. Revocation of a Purchase Offer may be accomplished by delivering written notice to the Intermediary through whom the Investor made the Purchase Offer, who shall in turn notify the Joint Bookrunners of such revocation. Other than as described above, Purchase Offers, once placed, may not be revoked. Payment and Delivery of the New Bonds: Investors will pay the New Bonds Issue Price on the New Bonds Issue Date. In case of early closure of the Offering or extension of the Offering Period, a press release will be made to announce the action and inform Investors and potential Investors of the revised Issue Date. In case of an extension of the Offering Period the Issue Date will be postponed to the fifth Business Day following the closure of the Offering Period, as extended. In case of an early closure of the Offering Period, the Issue Date will remain unchanged and the New Bonds will be issued on 20 June 2025. Payments and transfers of the New Bonds will be settled through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. The Issuer will not charge any costs, expenses or taxes directly to any Investor. Investors must, however, inform themselves about any costs, expenses or taxes in connection with the Bonds which are generally applicable in the Republic of Italy related to the opening of a bank account or a temporary deposit account with an Intermediary, if necessary, and/or any costs related to the |

Any investment in the New Bonds is subject to a number of risks. Prior to investing in the New Bonds, prospective investors should carefully consider risk factors associated with any investment in the New Bonds, the business of the Issuer and the Group and the industry in which they and the Group operate, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus, including, in particular, the risk factors described below. Each of the risks discussed below could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the principal amount and interest which Investors will receive in respect of the New Bonds. In addition, each of the risks discussed below could adversely affect the trading or the trading price of the New Bonds or the rights of Investors under the New Bonds and, as a result, Investors could lose some or all of their investment. Words and expressions defined in the "Terms and Conditions of the New Bonds" below or elsewhere in this Prospectus have the same meanings in this section.
The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the New Bonds.
The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in New Bonds, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with any New Bonds may occur for other reasons which may not be considered significant risks by the Issuer based on information currently available to them and which they may not currently be able to anticipate.
TIP faces the following risks in connection with investments made directly or indirectly using TIP's shareholders' equity. The principal risks facing TIP's investment activity are the following:
relevant guarantors may be insolvent; or legal disputes may arise with the relevant guarantors in regard to the enforcement of the applicable guarantees, etc.);
As at 31 December 2024, the consolidated book value of equity investments made by TIP (i.e. associated companies and investments measured at FVOCI) amounted to €1,874 million (i.e., 97.0% of the total consolidated assets). The materialisation of any of the foregoing risks could reduce the value and return of TIP's investments, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
As at 31 December 2024, 19.9% of the consolidated book value of TIP's investments in equity related to consolidated direct investments in listed securities not qualifying as associated companies. An additional 38.3% related to investments in associated companies listed or that, in turn, have invested in listed securities themselves. In addition as at 31 December 2024 TIP invested €25.7 million in listed bonds. The consolidated book value of the direct investments in listed companies not qualifying as associated companies and bonds is based on their market prices, whereas investments in associated companies are calculated applying the equity method and for investments in non-listed companies one of the methods used to value the shareholdings is based on multiples of comparable listed companies. Fluctuations in financial markets, including changes in interest rates, issuers' credit spreads, currencies and equity prices, could cause a significant change in the value of the listed securities in TIP's investments. The value of TIP's assets could also be impacted by a lack of liquidity in the markets in general or in certain asset classes. Finally, adverse market changes would also affect the value of the investments made by TIP.
TIP may be negatively affected by adverse changes in the market price of its listed security investments. A decline in securities prices over a given period, especially at the end of the financial year, would be reflected in the financial statements as a decrease in the net value of the investee companies and consolidated shareholders' equity.
A 5% decline in the value of the investments in listed assets (equity and bonds) as at 31 December 2024 would have resulted in a decrease of consolidated shareholders' equity of €55.8 million. A decrease in quoted prices is also likely to impact the earnings realized at the time of any sales of the relevant securities by TIP into the market.
Any material adverse developments in the financial markets or that, more generally, impact the value of the Group's investments could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
TIP has experienced in the past and could experience in the future significant fluctuations in its results due to a number of factors affecting its investments activity, such as variations in the valuation of its assets, dividends or interest received, the timing of its realization of gains and losses, its level of indebtedness, and changes in macroeconomic and market conditions.
TIP's investment activity and strategy also present a risk of loss of the amounts invested, for example if the company in which the investment was made goes bankrupt or faces serious difficulties. No guarantee can be given as to the realization of profits from TIP's investments or even the recovery of sums invested or due. There can be no assurance that the investments made by TIP will generate profits, nor that the amounts committed by TIP in connection with its investments will be recovered, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
In its investment activity, TIP invests as a minority shareholder. While TIP generally seeks to implement minority shareholder protective mechanisms such as robust information rights, representation on an administrative or supervisory body of the relevant company or veto rights with respect to certain management decisions and favourable exit terms, these mechanisms cannot ensure that it will in fact have access to all relevant information for the evaluation of its position and its selling or holding strategy, or that it will be able to exercise effective influence over important decisions (including regarding the distribution of dividends). In addition, to the extent that TIP takes minority equity interests, no assurance can be given that it will be able to fully protect its interests from the decisions of majority shareholders or the sponsors of its co-investments, which may have interests that diverge from or conflict with those of TIP, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
As part of its investment activity, TIP acquires stakes in companies whose shares are not listed on a public market. As at 31 December 2024, 54.7% of the consolidated book value of TIP's equity investments related to unlisted securities (including its unlisted associated companies regardless of whether they themselves invest in listed securities). These unlisted securities, together with certain securities held by TIP that may be listed but are relatively illiquid, give rise to liquidity risks, such that the recovery of amounts invested by TIP in, and the eventual recording of profits and capital gains on, such investments will generally occur several years after the investment is made (i.e. at the time of the sale, redemption or liquidation of the relevant investment). There can be no assurance, in either the case of unlisted securities or listed but illiquid securities, that TIP will be able to find purchasers willing to purchase such stakes, or that these securities will be listed on a stock exchange or otherwise achieve improved liquidity even if they are already listed. In such an event, it is possible that TIP might experience difficulties in realizing gains from all or part of its investments, whether as a result of timing or the terms of its exit from such positions. This could result in TIP facing limitations or obstacles to freeing amounts invested in such positions to make new investments and may accordingly hinder the implementation of its investment strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
TIP conducts an analysis prior to each of its investments through its balance sheet (covering strategy, competitive context, financial plans, valuation, financial analysis, exit terms, social and environmental responsibility, quality of executive team, etc.), and then on a regular basis during the course of monitoring its investments. TIP incurs costs prior to making any investment in order to assess whether or not to invest and on what terms, which are not recovered in the event that TIP decides not to proceed with an investment. TIP relies on internal resources and external advice as needed. TIP estimates the intrinsic value of each of its investments based on its knowledge of the companies it invests in and the markets, and discloses these estimates in certain presentations that are published on its website which has an impact on other investors' valuations of TIP and TIP's share price.
TIP's calculation of analyst valuations and TIP's estimated intrinsic values of its investments are not IFRS measures and are not calculated based on IFRS financial information. TIP's calculations may differ from other companies in the industry. TIP's calculation of analyst valuations and TIP's estimated intrinsic values should not be considered in replacement of IFRS revenue or any other IFRS measure. TIP's calculation of analyst valuations and TIP's estimated intrinsic values are not necessarily indicative of the value of any investments (individually or in the aggregate), nor are they indicative of future valuations, and may subject to substantial fluctuations. As such, investors should not place undue reliance on TIP's calculation of analyst valuations or TIP's estimated intrinsic values.
With respect to the consolidated book value of the equity investments made by TIP (i.e. associated companies and investments measured at FVOCI) recorded in TIP's consolidated financial statements, which amounted to €1,874 million (i.e., 97.0% of the total consolidated assets) as at 31 December 2024 and €1,852 million (i.e., 96.9% of the total consolidated assets) as at 31 March 2025, each investment in the investee companies is examined four times a year at the time of the preparation of financial statements, i.e., at 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. These valuations are based mainly on the market price of the relevant securities if the holding is listed, or on a fair value approach in the case of non-listed securities (according to the multiples method, discounted cash flow method, or another specified method). Information is also obtained from the managers of the underlying assets (company executives, co-shareholders or co-investors, etc.).
With respect to the intrinsic value estimates reported in the presentations to investors published on TIP's website, such estimates are made on the basis of a number of factors including underlying economic parameters and TIP's knowledge of and experience in the markets.
While TIP prepares its valuations on the basis of what it believes to be accurate estimates and assumptions, there can be no assurance that such valuations will not be revised later. Such valuations may be complex or difficult to determine for certain instruments, subject to significant fluctuations (including the loss of the entire investment for particularly risky or volatile products) or be reliant on market data with limited or no observability that may make valuation difficult. There can be no assurance that the implementation of TIP's valuation methods will ensure that TIP's investments are valued consistently with the value that would be obtained upon the sale of such holdings, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
TIP's business and strategy entail a risk of loss of the amounts invested through its balance sheet. For example, there exists a risk of loss of the amounts committed if the company in which the investment was made goes bankrupt or faces serious difficulties (related, for example, to economic downturns, increased competition, unanticipated technological breakthroughs, mistaken strategic decisions by management, loss of customers, adverse regulatory developments, etc.). Accordingly, no assurance can be given regarding the profitability of investments made by TIP, or that TIP will not lose amounts deployed through its balance sheet. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
TIP's exit strategies in relation to its investments may be affected by a number of factors, which may not have been foreseeable at the time of making the investment. As such, there is no guarantee that TIP will be able to implement its exit strategy in respect of any particular investment in line with its expectations in terms of timing, method and/or conditions.
An exit may take longer than expected, and/or may be implemented with methods or conditions that are not satisfactory or profitable for the Issuer. In such event, TIP may not generate the gain expected from a particular investment, which could result in the investment generating less than the estimated intrinsic value or resulting in a loss, all of which have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
TIP's investment activities are partly implemented with co-investors comprising some of TIP's principal shareholders and/or advisory clients, put together by TIP to create a "club deal", whereby the legal entity formed by the "club deal" executes the investment.
In the context of club deal investments in listed and unlisted companies, in order to assess the investment opportunity, TIP's co-investors may receive confidential or non-public information relating to the company in which the potential investment is being negotiated.
TIP has a compliance policy aimed at governing information obligations of its managers towards TIP, the Italian securities regulator (Consob) and the market (an internal dealing code), as well as specific procedures to manage price sensitive information in accordance with applicable regulation, aimed at preventing any possible misuse of price sensitive information by co-investors. In addition, TIP's policy is that any co-investor involvement is subject to entering into confidentiality agreements, however, there is a risk that such price sensitive information may be misused by co-investors, which may have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
This Prospectus contains adjusted income statements that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of IFRS 9 which entered into force on 1 January 2018 (the "Adjusted Data"). TIP publishes such Adjusted Data together with its financial statements under the heading "Pro Forma" as it believes that this presentation facilitates investors' understanding of TIP's results. The Adjusted Data is adjusted considering the capital gains and losses realized and the write-downs on equity investments that according to IFRS 9 are not recorded in the income statement but directly as a reclassification within equity. The Adjusted Data does not constitute pro forma financial information for the purposes of Annex 20 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, nor are they prepared pursuant to any applicable accounting principles.
TIP has included the Adjusted Data in this Prospectus because TIP considers them more conducive to the proper understanding of its activities and that they provide better comparability against historical financial information.
With respect to the interpretation of the Adjusted Data, investors should note that:
Use of the Adjusted Data without taking into account the limitations referenced above could lead investors to incorrectly assess the economic, equity and/or financial position and thus make an incorrect, non-advisable or inadequate investment decision.
This Prospectus includes certain financial information calculated on the basis of scope of its investee companies (the "Investee Companies" and the related data, the estimated "intrinsic value" and "net intrinsic value").
More specifically, such information has been included in the Prospectus where a description of the Investee Companies is provided.
The estimated intrinsic value and the net intrinsic value are calculated by on the basis of a number of factors including underlying economic parameters and TIP's knowledge of and experience in the markets.
The intrinsic value estimated by Issuer's management is the analytical valuation performed by TIP for each investment, representing the Issuer's expectation in the medium-term according to the valuation methods recognised by international best practice, taking into account a medium-term outlook of the companies' fundamentals as well as the expected valorisation strategy.
Such analysis has been performed according to the valuation methods recognised by international best practice, taking into account the medium-term outlook of the investee companies' fundamentals as well as the expected valorisation strategy of each investment and without considering the volatility of the short-term market parameters (such as market multiples, interest rates, etc.)
The net intrinsic value (per share) estimated by Issuer's management is the intrinsic value of investments minus financial debts at a consolidated level (in each case, on a per share basis).
The intrinsic value and consequently the net intrinsic value are calculated with consistent criteria over time.
These figures are included in order to illustrate the estimated intrinsic value of the Investee Companies and the net intrinsic value. The estimated intrinsic value and the net intrinsic value are not necessarily indicative of the value of any investments (individually or in the aggregate), nor are they indicative of future valuations, and may be subject to substantial fluctuations. The estimated intrinsic value has not been subject to any form of audit.
The estimated intrinsic value and the net intrinsic value have been drawn up merely for illustrative purposes and, therefore, do not represent and are in no way intended to represent TIP's actual results, or a prediction of TIP's future results.
This Prospectus includes a number of alternative performance measures relating either to TIP or the companies in which TIP has invested ("APMs") that are not identified as accounting measures in the framework of the IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable with those presented by other groups.
With reference to the interpretation of these APMs, investors should note that:
Therefore, examination of the APMs by an investor without taking into account the abovementioned critical issues could mislead such investor in the evaluation of the relevant entity's business, financial condition and results of operations and lead to an incorrect, inappropriate or inadequate decision by such investor.
TIP's earnings and financial position and those of its investments (or the companies in which they invested) are particularly influenced by the general state of the economy in the countries in which they operate and by the variables which affect performance, including increases or decreases in gross national product, access to credit, the level of consumer and business confidence, the cost of raw materials and the rate of unemployment. Many sectors of business are also subject to highly cyclical demand and tend to reflect the overall performance of the economy, in certain cases even amplifying the effects of economic trends.
Following one of its sharpest economic downturns in history resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy has recently experienced further uncertainty in relation to the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and the more recent conflict in the Middle East, which have caused and continue to cause severe social and economic consequences for the countries directly involved, as well as in Europe, the United States and many other nations.
Whilst the direct exposure of the TIP Group and its main investee companies to Russia and Ukraine and/or to the Middle East is not significant, investee companies of the TIP Group are, to a varying degrees, exposed to the indirect effects of the conflict, such as the increase in raw materials and energy prices, the increase in interest rates and the inflation rate, procurement difficulties, and reduced propensity to consume.
Furthermore, the principal risks associated with an economic downturn in which TIP's investments operate comprise increases in energy prices and fluctuations in raw materials or possible contractions in infrastructure spending. Other factors such as political crises, further armed conflict involving major world powers and other unexpected events can also cause disruption, uncertainty and volatility in global financial markets and consequently have an adverse impact on TIP's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, the U.S. administration has introduced tariffs on various categories of goods, and threatened to introduce further tariffs; in response, the European Union, China and other jurisdictions have introduced tariffs on U.S. goods.
The latest such developments have exacerbated the current volatility in global financial markets and have introduced an elevated level of economic and policy uncertainty, which could cause financial and capital markets within and outside the U.S. and Europe to constrict, thereby negatively impacting TIP's ability to finance its business. It also could cause a substantial dip in consumer and business confidence and spending that could negatively impact the performance of the investments and fees for M&A assistance.
It is therefore not possible to provide an accurate indication of the future trends of the above factors and variables which could nevertheless adversely affect the demand for products and which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP and its investments.
Climate change scenarios, including an increase in the severity of extreme weather events, could have a potential physical impact on TIP and the companies in which it invests. For their part, investee companies have undertaken initial assessments of the potential physical and transitional risks arising from climate change. Whilst initial assessments have not revealed any specific short-term critical issues, TIP continues to monitor potential transitional risks, including in the light of recent international developments and geopolitical events.
As at the date of this Prospectus the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries are not involved in any pending legal or tax proceeding which may have, or have had in the recent past significant effects on the Issuer and/or group's financial position or profitability, nor they have received written notification threatening any such legal or tax proceeding. Notwithstanding the above, there can be no assurance that in the future the Issuer will not be a party to claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations and other legal proceedings including those that arise in the ordinary course of its business.
The Issuer is subject to income taxes in the Republic of Italy and, in the ordinary course of business, can be subject to audits by the Italian tax authorities. Although the Issuer believes its tax estimates are reasonable, any final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could have a material adverse effect on its net income in the relevant period or periods.
The economic and financial activities of TIP and its affiliates make it subject to a variety of taxes and duties. Since tax laws, treaties and other regulations on taxation, as well as on other fiscal charges, penalties, collection duties and interest on unpaid taxes have been historically subject to frequent changes, further changes are expected in Italy, possibly with retroactive effect, thus resulting in the risk that the level of taxation to which they are subject may increase in the future. Any such increase in the level of taxation, or the introduction of new taxes, to which TIP and its principal subsidiaries and affiliates may be subject, could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
Current tax legislation in Italy (Article 96 of Italian Presidential Decree No. 917 of December 22, 1986, as amended and supplemented, "Decree No. 917") generally allows for the tax deductibility for corporate income tax ("IRES") purposes of interest expenses incurred by a company (other than a financial intermediary, insurance company or head-office of an insurance group) in each fiscal year up to the amount of the interest income of the same fiscal year, as evidenced by the relevant annual profit and loss account. A further deduction of interest expenses in excess of this amount is allowed up to a threshold of 30% of fiscal Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") of a company (i.e., risultato operativo lordo della gestione caratteristica or "ROL") determined according to the tax rules for the calculation of the corporate income taxable base. The amount of ROL and interest income exceeding the interest expenses not used for the deduction of the amount of interest expenses in a fiscal year can be carried forward, respectively for the following five fiscal years and without time limits. Net interest expenses not deducted in a relevant fiscal year can be carried forward and deducted in the following fiscal years, provided and to the extent that, in such fiscal years, the amount of interest expenses that exceeds interest income is lower than 30% of ROL (utilized on the basis of the 'first in first out' method). In the case of an Italian tax group, interest expenses not deducted by an entity in the Italian tax group due to lack of ROL can be deducted at the tax unity level, within the limit of the excess of ROL of the other companies within the Italian tax group.
Therefore, the ability to deduct interest expenses in respect of the Bonds incurred by companies within the Group will therefore depend on the ROL and our ability to have tax group arrangements. Any delay in the effectiveness of a tax group will impact the ability to deduct interest expense. In addition, there can be no assurance that in the case of a tax audit, the relevant tax authorities would not try to challenge the deductibility of interest expense arising in connection with the component of any financing used, in whole or in part, to refinance an outstanding loan or debt, when the terms and conditions of the refinancing transaction appear less favourable than the ones of the previous financing transaction. In particular, in such circumstances, the relevant tax authorities could argue that the interest expenses arising from such financing do not relate to the business of the borrowing entity (as the relevant transaction is deemed to be "antieconomic" and as such not compliant with the "inherence" principle set out under Italian tax law).
Moreover, (i) any future changes in Italian tax laws or in their interpretation or application (including any future limitation on the use of the ROL of the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries and any change in the tax treatment of interest expense arising from any indebtedness, including the Bonds) (ii) the failure to satisfy the applicable legal requirements relating to the deductibility of interest expense or (iii) a change in the interpretation and application by Italian tax authorities of Italian tax law, may result in our inability to fully deduct our interest expense, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
The tax deduction of a negative item of income (interest expenses included) may also be denied under the Italian anti-hybrid mismatch rules laid down in Article 6 and ff. of Legislative Decree 29 November 2018, no. 142 ("Decree 142/2018"), which transposed into national law the EU Directive 2016/1164 ("ATAD 1") as amended by the EU Directive 2017/952 ("ATAD 2"). The Italian anti-hybrid rules only apply if a hybrid mismatch outcome arises between associated enterprises, as defined in art. 6(1)(u) of Decree 142/2018 or in the context of a structured arrangement, as defined in art. 6(1)(q) of Decree 142/2018.
A hybrid mismatch outcome may occur in the following cases: (i) the interest expenses are tax deductible in Italy and in another jurisdiction (double deduction, "DD"); or (ii) the interest expenses are tax deductible in Italy and the corresponding interest income is not included in the taxable income of the payee jurisdiction (deduction without inclusion, "D/NI"); or (iii) the payment directly or indirectly funds deductible payments giving rise to an hybrid mismatch ("imported mismatch").
The success of TIP and its investment strategy depends to a large extent on the abilities of its own senior executives and of the other components of the management team to efficiently manage TIP and its investments. If TIP should lose the contribution of key executives (including Giovanni Tamburi, Alessandra Gritti and Claudio Berretti), this could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP and its investments.
The integrity of the brand and reputation of TIP is critical to attracting and retaining clients, business partners and employees. TIP's reputation could be tarnished by certain key factors such as a low return on its investments, litigation, regulatory action, misconduct or infringement of applicable laws or regulations by its managers. Operational staff make daily decisions and TIP's reputation could also suffer and it could be held accountable to investors, as well as from a regulatory standpoint, should the procedures and risk management systems implemented to prevent and/or mitigate such risks fail to identify, record and manage such errors, negligence or illegal or unauthorized activity. And such failure could have a material adverse effect on the reputation, business, earnings and financial position of TIP. The negative publicity that would result from the occurrence of any of these events could also damage the reputation of TIP, generating a risk of regulatory sanctions and harm its relations with its current and potential investors. Any damage to the "TIP" brand would adversely affect TIP's position in its markets and could result in a loss of business in the short and long term, which could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
The return generated by TIP investments is critical to its commercial success, and determines the ability of TIP to attract and retain investors. The performance levels achieved by TIP in the past do not guarantee the level of future performance. In addition, TIP may not be able to sustain its level of performance over time. TIP's results and performance levels could differ significantly for several reasons from those achieved by TIP in the past (in particular due to macroeconomic factors, the performance of new investments compared to that of past or existing investments, market conditions, investments made or investment opportunities). In all such cases, the reputation of TIP and its ability to attract new investment could also be affected, and the negative impact could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
Through its investments, the Issuer operates in businesses which are intensely competitive. TIP competes on the basis of a number of factors, including brand recognition, transaction execution, innovation, reputation and price. Many of the competitors have significant financial resources, experience and marketing strength, and may have the ability to offer a wide range of products and services, some at more competitive pricing due to being part of larger multinational advisory platforms, and introduce innovative products or services, which may enhance their competitive position. Should TIP fail to provide a competitive offering, this could have a material adverse effect on the operating profit, financial position and prospects of TIP.
TIP has a compliance policy aimed at governing information obligations of its managers towards TIP, the Italian securities regulator (Consob) and the market (an internal dealing code), as well as specific procedures to manage price sensitive information in accordance with applicable regulation (including market abuse regulation), aimed at preventing any possible misuse of price sensitive information.
In addition, TIP's policy is that any co-investor involvement is subject to entering into confidentiality agreements.
TIP cannot guarantee that the controls, procedures, policies and systems that it has established will identify and successfully manage all internal and external risks to its operations. TIP is exposed to the risk that its employees, counterparties or other third parties may deliberately seek to circumvent the controls established by TIP, or otherwise commit fraud or act contrary to the policies and procedures set up by TIP, in addition to any legal or applicable regulations, particularly in relation to money laundering, corruption, or sanctions. Any violation or circumvention of such checks, policies, procedures, laws or regulations, as well as any fraud committed or conflicts of interest, real or perceived, could have a material adverse effect on the TIP's reputation, result in regulatory investigations and lead to regulatory penalties, criminal sanctions or financial losses.
The New Bonds will carry fixed interest. A holder of a security with a fixed interest rate is exposed to the risk that the price of such security falls as a result of changes in the current interest rate on the capital market (the "Market Interest Rate"). While the nominal interest rate of a security with a fixed interest rate is fixed during the life of such security or during a certain period of time, the Market Interest Rate typically changes on a daily basis. As the Market Interest Rate changes, the price of such security changes in the opposite direction. If the Market Interest Rate increases, the price of such security typically falls, until the yield of such security is approximately equal to the Market Interest Rate. Conversely, if the Market Interest Rate falls, the price of a security with a fixed interest rate typically increases, until the yield of such security is approximately equal to the Market Interest Rate. Investors should be aware that movements of the Market Interest Rate could adversely affect the market price of the New Bonds.
The New Bonds will be (subject to Condition 4 (Negative Pledge)) unsecured obligations of the Issuer. In the event of any insolvency or winding-up of the Issuer, the New Bonds will rank equally with the Issuer's other unsecured senior indebtedness. The New Bonds are unsecured and, although they restrict the giving of security by the Issuer and the Material Group Companies over Relevant Indebtedness and guarantees in respect of such Relevant Indebtedness a number of exceptions apply, as more fully described in Condition 4 (Negative Pledge). Where security has been granted over assets of the Issuer to secure indebtedness, in the event of any insolvency or winding-up of the Issuer, such secured indebtedness will rank in priority over the New Bonds and other unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer in respect of such assets.
The provisions relating to Bondholders' meetings (including quorums and voting majorities) are subject to compliance with certain mandatory provisions of Italian law, which may change during the life of the New Bonds. In addition, as currently drafted, the rules concerning Bondholders' meetings are intended to follow mandatory provisions of Italian law that apply to Bondholders' meetings where the issuer is an Italian company. In addition, certain Bondholders' meeting provisions could change as a result of amendments to the Issuer's by-laws. Accordingly, Bondholders should not assume that the provisions relating to Bondholders' meetings contained in the Agency Agreement and summarised in the Conditions will correctly reflect mandatory provisions of Italian law applicable to Bondholders' meetings at any future date during the life of the New Bonds.
In the event that the Issuer would be obliged to increase the amounts payable in respect of any New Bonds due to any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the Republic of Italy or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, the Issuer may, pursuant to Condition 6(b) (Redemption and Purchase – Redemption for taxation reasons), redeem all outstanding New Bonds in accordance with the Conditions. In addition, the Issuer may elect to redeem the New Bonds (i) at any time on or after 21 June 2026 pursuant to Condition 6(c) (Redemption and Purchase – Redemption at the option of the Issuer), or (ii) in whole at their principal amount at any time following a Substantial Purchase Event pursuant to Condition 6(e) (Redemption and Purchase – Redemption following a Substantial Purchase Event (Clean-Up Call)), in each case together with accrued interest. In each case, the New Bonds would be redeemed prior to their scheduled Maturity Date.
Furthermore, the option for the Issuer to redeem the New Bonds in part at any time, as provided in Condition 6(c) (Redemption and Purchase – Redemption at the option of the Issuer), is likely to limit the market value of the New Bonds. The market value of the Bonds generally will not rise substantially above the price at which they can be redeemed. The Issuer may be expected to redeem New Bonds when its cost of borrowing is lower than the interest rate on the New Bonds. At those times, an investor generally would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the New Bonds being redeemed and may only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate. Potential investors should consider reinvestment risk in light of other investments available at that time.
The Conditions provide that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default other than Event of Default 9(f) (Insolvency), the New Bonds may become immediately due and payable if any Bondholder, by written notice addressed to the Issuer and delivered to the Issuer or to the specified office of the Fiscal Agent and specifying one or more of the Events of Default to which such notice relates (each such notice in respect of each Event of Default specified therein (even if contained in a single document), a separate Acceleration Request), declare that all (but not some only) of the New Bonds are immediately due and payable at their principal amount together (if applicable) with accrued interest without any further action or formality.
The abovementioned effect shall take place upon the receipt of Acceleration Requests by or on behalf of the Issuer from Bondholders holding not less than 10 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the New Bonds then outstanding specifying the same Event of Default or the delivery by the Issuer or, where appointed, by the Representative of the Bondholders to the specified office of the Fiscal Agent of a notice that it accepts any Acceleration Request (or more than one).
Bondholders should be aware that, without prejudice to the above, in the case of Event of Default 9(f) (Insolvency) the New Bonds will automatically become immediately due and payable without further action or formality.
A Representative of the Bondholders may be appointed pursuant to Condition 12(a) (Meetings of Bondholders) in order to represent the Bondholders' interests under the Conditions and to give effect to resolutions passed at a meeting of the Bondholders.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control relating to the Issuer, as set out in Condition 6(d) (Redemption and Purchase – Redemption at the option of Bondholders upon a Change of Control), under certain circumstances the Bondholders will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem all outstanding New Bonds at 100 per cent. of their principal amount. However, it is possible that the Issuer will not have sufficient funds at the time of the Change of Control to make the required redemption of New Bonds. If there are not sufficient funds for the redemption, Bondholders may receive less than the principal amount of the New Bonds should they elect to exercise such right. Furthermore, if such provisions were exercised by the Bondholders, this might adversely affect the Issuer's financial position.
The terms and conditions of the New Bonds are based on English law in effect as at the date of this Prospectus, save that provisions convening meetings of Bondholders and the appointment of a Bondholders' Representative are subject to compliance with mandatory provisions of Italian law. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to English law and/or Italian law (where applicable) or administrative practice after the date of this Prospectus.
The Offering Period may be extended or amended, and the Offering may be terminated or withdrawn.
The Issuer together with the Joint Bookrunners have the right to extend or amend the Offering Period and to terminate, postpone or withdraw the Offering for a number of reasons, including any extraordinary change in the political, financial, economic, regulatory or currency situation of the markets in which the Group operates that could have a materially adverse effect on the conditions of the Group and their business activities. See "Sale and Offer of the New Bonds — Offering of the New Bonds — Offering Period, Early Closure, Extension and Withdrawal".
All payments in respect of New Bonds will be made free and clear of withholding or deduction of Italian taxation, unless the withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as will result in the Bondholders receiving such amounts as they would have received in respect of such New Bonds had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Issuer's obligation to gross up is, however, subject to a number of exceptions, including withholding or deduction of imposta sostitutiva (Italian substitute tax), pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 239 of 1 April 1996 ("Decree 239") a brief description of which is set out below.
Prospective purchasers of New Bonds should consult their tax advisers as to the overall tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of New Bonds and receiving payments of interest, principal and/or other amounts under the New Bonds, including in particular the effect of any state, regional or local tax laws of any country or territory. See also the section headed "Taxation" below.
Imposta sostitutiva (Italian substitute tax) is applied to payments of interest and other income (including the difference between the redemption amount and the issue price) at a rate of 26 per cent. to (i) certain Italian resident Bondholders; (ii) non-Italian resident Bondholders which are not resident / established in a jurisdiction allowing an adequate exchange of information with the Italian tax authorities, as indicated by the Italian Ministerial Decree of September 4, 1996, as amended and supplemented by Ministerial Decree of March 23, 2017 and possibly further amended by future decrees issued pursuant to Article 11 par. 4 (c) of Decree 239 (the "White List Countries", each a "White List Country"), which are not therefore eligible to the exemption regime set out under Decree 239; and (iii) non-Italian resident Bondholders eligible to the exemption regime set out under Decree 239 who have not however complied with all the relevant procedural requirements and, inter alia, not filed in due time with the relevant depository a declaration (autocertificazione) stating, inter alia, that it is resident for tax purposes in a White-List Country.
Law No. 111 of 9 August 2023, published in the Official Gazette No. 189 of 14 August 2023 ("Law 111"), delegates power to the Italian Government to enact, within twenty-four months from its publication, one or more legislative decrees implementing the reform of the Italian tax system (the "Italian Tax Reform").
According to Law 111, the Italian Tax Reform could significantly change the statements set out under section "Italian Taxation" below and, in particular, the taxation of financial incomes and capital gains and introduce various amendments in the Italian tax system at different levels. The precise nature, extent, and impact of these amendments cannot be quantified or foreseen with certainty at this stage, as not all the legislative decrees implementing the Italian Tax Reform have been enacted to date.
The information provided in this Prospectus may not reflect the future tax landscape accurately.
Investors should be aware that the amendments that may be introduced to the tax regime of financial incomes and capital gains could increase the taxation on interest, similar income and/or capital gains accrued or realized under the New Bonds and could result in a lower return of their investment.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Italian Tax Reform.
The New Bonds will have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If a market does develop, it may not be liquid. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their New Bonds easily or at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. The development or continued liquidity of any secondary market for the New Bonds will be affected by a number of factors such as the creditworthiness of the Issuer, as well as other factors such as the time remaining to the maturity of the New Bonds and the outstanding amount of the New Bonds. Such factors also will affect the market value of the New Bonds. Investors may not be able to sell Bonds readily or at prices that will enable investors to realise their anticipated yield. No investor should purchase New Bonds unless the investor understands and is able to bear the risk that the New Bonds may not be readily sellable, that the value of New Bonds will fluctuate over time and that such fluctuations might be significant.
The ability to transfer the New Bonds may also be restricted by securities laws or regulations of certain countries or regulatory bodies. See "Subscription and Sale". The New Bonds have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Bondholders may not offer the New Bonds in the United States or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. It is the obligation of each Bondholder to ensure that offers and sales of New Bonds comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition, transfers to certain persons in certain other jurisdictions may be limited by law, or may result in the imposition of penalties or liability. For a description of restrictions which may be applicable to transfers of the New Bonds, see "Subscription and Sale".
Application has been made for the New Bonds to be admitted to trading on the Market and to be listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin. The New Bonds will be traded on the regulated market of the MOT of Borsa Italiana, according to the Borsa Italiana rules. The New Bonds may subsequently be delisted despite the best efforts of the Issuer to maintain such listings and, although no assurance is made as to the liquidity of the New Bonds as a result of listing, any delisting of the New Bonds may have a material effect on a Bondholder's ability to resell the New Bonds on the secondary market.
The New Bonds represent a new issue of securities which may not be widely distributed and for which there is currently no established trading market. Although the New Bonds will be traded on the regulated market of Euronext Dublin and the regulated market of the MOT of Borsa Italiana, there can be no assurance that a market for the New Bonds will develop or, if it does develop, that it will continue or be liquid, thereby enabling investors to sell their New Bonds when desired, or at all, or at prices they find acceptable.
The development or continued liquidity of any secondary market for the New Bonds will be affected by a number of factors including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and the creditworthiness of the Issuer as well as other factors such as the time remaining to maturity of the New Bonds, the outstanding amount of the New Bonds and the redemption features of the New Bonds. Such factors will also affect the market value of the New Bonds.
Investors may not be able to sell New Bonds readily or at prices that will enable investors to realise their anticipated yield. No investor should purchase New Bonds unless the Investor understands and is able to bear the risk that the New Bonds may not be readily sellable, that the value of the New Bonds will fluctuate over time and that such fluctuations may be significant.
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (i) New Bonds are legal investments for it, (ii) New Bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions apply to the purchase or pledge of any New Bonds. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of New Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
The Issuer will pay principal and interest on the New Bonds in euros. This presents certain risks relating to currency conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in a currency or currency unit (the "Investor's Currency") other than euros. These include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due to devaluation of euros or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) and the risk that authorities with jurisdiction over the Investor's Currency may impose or modify exchange controls. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to euros would decrease (1) the Investor's Currency-equivalent yield on the New Bonds, (2) the Investor's Currency equivalent value of the principal payable on the New Bonds and (3) the Investor's Currency equivalent market value of the New Bonds.
Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that could adversely affect an applicable exchange rate. As a result, investors may receive less interest or principal than expected, or no interest or principal.
Investment in the New Bonds involves the risk that subsequent changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the value of the New Bonds.
The New Bonds will be represented on issue by a Global Bond that will be deposited with a common safekeeper on behalf of Euroclear Bank and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Except in the circumstances described in the Global Bond, investors will not be entitled to receive definitive New Bonds. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their respective participants will maintain records of the beneficial interests in the Global Bond. While the New Bonds are represented by the Global Bond, investors will be able to trade their beneficial interests only through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their respective participants.
The Issuer will discharge its payment obligations under the New Bonds by making payments to or to the order of the common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg for distribution to their account holders. A holder of a beneficial interest in the Global Bond must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to receive payments under the New Bonds. The Issuer has no responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in the Global Bond. Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Bond will not have a direct right to vote in respect of the New Bonds. Instead, such holders will be permitted to act only to the extent that they are enabled by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to appoint appropriate proxies. Similarly, holders of beneficial interests in the Global Bond will not have a direct right under the Global Bond to take enforcement action against the Issuer in the event of a default under the New Bonds but will have to rely upon their rights under the Deed of Covenant.
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for the financial years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 (the "2023 Annual Report" and the "2024 Annual Report") incorporated by reference in this Prospectus have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by European Union ("IFRS"). The Issuer's accounting reference date is 31 December.
Financial data of the Issuer included in this Prospectus have been derived from the 2023 Annual Report and the 2024 Annual Report as well as the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer as at and for the three months ended 31 March 2025 ("Additional periodic disclosure at March 2025").
The Issuer considers each metric set out below to constitute an "alternative performance measure" (an "APM") as described in the European Securities and Markets Authority Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (the "ESMA Guidelines") published on 5 October 2015 by the European Securities and Markets Authority and which came into force on 3 July 2016.
The Issuer considers that these metrics provide useful information for investors and other interested parties in order to better understand the underlying business, the financial position, cash flows and results of operations of the Issuer.
The financial measures presented in this section are not defined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and International Accounting Standards ("IAS"). An APM should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitute for any analysis of, financial measures defined according to IFRS or IAS. Investors are advised to review these APMs in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Issuer contained in this Prospectus.

This Prospectus has been prepared on a basis that permits offers of the New Bonds that are not made within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation (a "Public Offer" and together, "Public Offers") in the Republic of Italy (the "Public Offer Jurisdiction"). For the avoidance of doubt, no Public Offering is being made in the Republic of Ireland. Any person making or intending to make a Public Offer of New Bonds on the basis of this Prospectus must do so only with the Issuer's consent – see "Consent given in accordance with Article 5(1) of the Prospectus Regulation (Retail Cascades)" below.
In the context of any Public Offer of New Bonds, the Issuer accepts responsibility, in the Public Offer Jurisdiction, for the content of this Prospectus in relation to any person (an "Investor") who purchases any New Bonds in a Public Offer made by the Joint Bookrunners (as defined below) or another "Authorised Offeror" (as defined in "Sale and Offering of the New Bonds - Offering Period, Early Closure, Extension and Withdrawal"), where that offer is made during the Offering Period (as defined in "Sale and Offer of the New Bonds" below).
Except in the circumstances described below, the Issuer has not authorised the making of any offer by any offeror and the Issuer has not consented to the use of this Prospectus by any other person in connection with any offer of the New Bonds in any jurisdiction. Any offer made without the consent of the Issuer is unauthorised and neither the Issuer nor, for the avoidance of doubt, any Joint Bookrunner accepts any responsibility or liability in relation to such offer or for the actions of the persons making any such unauthorised offer.
If, in the context of a Public Offer, an Investor is offered New Bonds by a person which is not an Authorised Offeror, the Investor should check with such person whether anyone is responsible for this Prospectus for the purpose of the relevant Public Offer and, if so, who that person is. If an Investor is in any doubt about whether it can rely on this Prospectus and/or who is responsible for its contents, the Investor should take legal advice.
The Issuer consents to the use of this Prospectus in connection with any Public Offer of New Bonds in the Public Offer Jurisdiction during the Offering Period (as defined in "Sale and Offer of the New Bonds" below) by:
Furthermore, the conditions to the Issuer's consent are that such consent:
The Issuer does not have any responsibility for any of the actions or omissions of any Authorised Offeror, including compliance by an Authorised Offeror with applicable conduct of business rules or other local regulatory requirements or other securities law requirements in relation to such offer. Neither, for the avoidance of doubt, do the Joint Bookrunners or any other Authorised Offeror have any responsibility for any such actions or omissions of another Authorised Offeror.
An Investor intending to acquire or acquiring any New Bonds from an Authorised Offeror will do so, and offers and sales of the New Bonds to such Investor by an Authorised Offeror will be made, in accordance with any terms and other arrangements in place between that Authorised Offeror and such Investor including as to price, allocations and settlement arrangements (the "Terms and Conditions of the Public Offer"). The Issuer will not be a party to any such arrangements with such Investor and, accordingly, this Prospectus does not contain such information. The Terms and Conditions of the Public Offer shall be provided to such Investor by that Authorised Offeror at the time the offer is made. Neither of the Issuer or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Joint Bookrunner or other Authorised Offerors have any responsibility or liability for such information.
MIFID II product governance / Retail investors target market, professional investors and Eligible Contract Participants ("ECPs") target market – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the New Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the New Bonds is eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the New Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the New Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference (see "Information Incorporated by Reference"). This Prospectus should be read and construed on the basis that such documents are incorporated in and form part of this Prospectus.
Investors should rely only on the information contained in this Prospectus. The Issuer has not authorised anyone to provide investors with different information. Neither the Joint Bookrunners, nor the Issuer are making any offer of the New Bonds in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the cover of this Prospectus regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus or of any sale of the New Bonds.
The Issuer has not authorised the making or provision of any representation or information regarding the Issuer or the New Bonds other than as contained in this Prospectus or as approved for such purpose by the Issuer. Any such representation or information should not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or the Joint Bookrunners.
Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any New Bond shall in any circumstances create any implication that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer and/or its Group is correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the offering of the New Bonds is correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same or that there has been no adverse change, or any event reasonably likely to involve any adverse change, in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, business or prospects of the Issuer and/or the Group since the date of this Prospectus.
Neither this Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the offering, sale or delivery of any New Bond (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (b) should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or the Joint Bookrunners that any recipient of this Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection thereto should purchase any New Bond. Each investor contemplating purchasing any New Bond should make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuer and the Group.
Save for the Public Offer in the Public Offer Jurisdiction, neither this Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the issue of the New Bonds constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Joint Bookrunners to any other Person to subscribe for or to purchase any New Bonds.
Each recipient of this Prospectus shall be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer and the Group (as defined below) and of the rights attaching to the New Bonds.
Each potential investor in the New Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal and other professional advisers prior to investing in the New Bonds to determine whether and to what extent (i) the New Bonds are permitted investments for it, (ii) where relevant, the New Bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing, and (iii) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any New Bonds. Financial institutions should consult their legal and other professional advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of the New Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules. Each investor should also consider the tax consequences of investing in the New Bonds and consult its own tax advisers with respect to the acquisition, holding, sale and redemption of the New Bonds in light of its personal situation.
Neither the New Bonds nor the long-term debt of the Issuer is rated. To the extent that any credit rating agencies assign credit ratings to the New Bonds or any other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer, such ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above, and other factors that may affect the value of the New Bonds. A credit rating or the absence of a rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold New Bonds and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time.
The legally binding language of this Prospectus, according to Article 27 of the Prospectus Regulation, is English, however certain legislative references and technical terms have been cited in their original language in order that the correct technical meaning may be ascribed to them under applicable law. For the purposes of the offer of the New Bonds to the public in Italy a courtesy translation in Italian of the section entitled "Summary" will be made available separately with this Prospectus.
In this Prospectus, unless otherwise specified, references to a "Member State" are references to a Member State of the European Economic Area and references to "€", "EUR" or "Euro" are to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union, and as defined in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro, as amended. References to "dollars", "U.S. dollars" and "U.S.\$" are to United States dollars, references to "sterling", "GBP" and "£" are to pounds sterling and references to "SEK" are to Swedish krona. References to "billions" are to thousands of millions.
Certain figures included in this Prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments; accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede them.
This Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.
This Prospectus includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates", "plans", "projects", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events or intentions. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Prospectus and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intentions of the Issuer, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the business, results of operations, financial position and/or prospects of the Issuer.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the financial position and results of operations of the Group, and the development of the markets and the industries in which members of the Group operate, may differ materially from those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus. In addition, even if the Group's results of operations and financial position, and the development of the markets and the industries in which the Group operates, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. A number of risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements – see "Risk Factors".
Information regarding markets, market size, market share, market position, growth rates and other industry data pertaining to the Group's business contained in this Prospectus consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by professional organisations and analysts, on data from other external sources, and on the Issuer's knowledge of its reference markets. In many cases, there is no readily available external information (whether from trade associations, government bodies or other organisations) to validate market-related analyses and estimates, requiring the Issuer to rely on internally developed estimates. While the Issuer has compiled, extracted and accurately reproduced market or other industry data from external sources, including third parties or industry or general publications, neither the Issuer nor the Joint Bookrunners have independently verified that data. As far as the Issuer is aware, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. The Issuer cannot assure investors of the accuracy and completeness of, or take any responsibility for, such data other than the responsibility for the correct and accurate reproduction thereof.
Each prospective investor in the New Bonds must determine, based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, the suitability of such investment and that its acquisition of the New Bonds is fully consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, complies and is fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it and is a fit, proper and suitable investment for it, notwithstanding the clear and substantial risks specific to the Issuer and the Group and inherent in investing in or holding the New Bonds.
In particular, each prospective investor should have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the New Bonds, the merits and risks of investing in the New Bonds and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, the Issue Price and Yield Notice, the Offering Results Notice or any applicable supplement to this Prospectus and should be able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment in the New Bonds and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Each prospective investor should consult its own advisers as to legal, tax and any other aspects of an investment in the New Bonds. A prospective investor may not rely on the Issuer, the Joint Bookrunners, the Fiscal Agent, or any of their respective affiliates in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the New Bonds.

"Determination Period" means the period from and including 21 June in any year to but excluding the next 21 June.

(c) Redemption at the option of the Issuer: The Issuer may, at any time on or after 21 June 2026, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices) (the "Optional Redemption Date"), redeem the Bonds then outstanding in whole or in part at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the outstanding Bonds to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date), together with interest accrued to but excluding the Optional Redemption Date.

The Issuer shall redeem on the Change of Control Redemption Date all of the Bonds held by Bondholders that require redemption at the Change of Control Redemption Amount. If any Bondholder does not require early redemption on or before the Change of Control Response Date, such Bondholder shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Condition 6(d) (Redemption at the option of the Bondholders upon a Change of Control) to require early redemption of all Bonds held by such Bondholder in respect of such Change of Control but not in respect of any subsequent Change of Control.
To exercise the right to require early redemption of any Bonds, a Bondholder must deliver at the specified office of any Agent, on any Business Day before the Change of Control Response Date, a duly signed and completed notice of exercise in the form (for the time being current and which may, if such Bonds are held in a clearing system, be in any form acceptable to such clearing system and may be delivered in any manner acceptable to such clearing system) obtainable from the specified office of any Agent (a "Put Notice") and in which the Bondholder must specify a bank account to which payment is to be made under this Condition 6(d) (Redemption at the option of the Bondholders upon a Change of Control) accompanied by such Bonds or evidence satisfactory to the Agent concerned that such Bonds will, following the delivery of the Put Notice, be held to its order or under its control. A Put Notice given by a Bondholder shall be irrevocable except where, prior to the Change of Control Redemption Date, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which event such Bondholder, at its option, may elect by notice to the Issuer to withdraw the Put Notice.

a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if one or more Person or Persons acting in concert (other than a Permitted Shareholder, or one or more Permitted Shareholders acting in concert with any Person or Persons, or any Person or Persons acting in concert with one or more of the Management Shareholders) acquire (directly or indirectly) Control of the Issuer;
"Control" means owning such percentage of the voting share capital of the Issuer as would (i) trigger a mandatory tender offer under Italian laws and regulations applicable from time to time and/or (ii) grant the right to appoint or remove by contract or otherwise the majority of the directors of the Issuer and/or otherwise exercise control (as such term is defined in Article 93 of the Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended from time to time) over the Issuer;

All Bonds in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this Condition.

Each amount of principal so deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against surrender of the relevant missing Coupon not later than 10 years after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 8 (Taxation)) for the relevant payment of principal.
All payments of principal and interest by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Bonds and the Coupons shall be made free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by Italian law. In that event the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the Bondholders and the Couponholders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bond or Coupon:
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of the Conditions, any amounts to be paid on any Bond by or on behalf of the Issuer will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (or any regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof) or an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (any such withholding or deduction, a "FATCA Withholding"). Neither the Issuer nor any other Person will be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of FATCA Withholding.
Any reference in these Conditions to principal and/or interest shall be deemed to include any additional amounts which may be payable under this Condition.

relevant creditors in respect of any of such debts or a moratorium is agreed or declared in respect of or affecting all or any part of (or of a particular type of) the debts of the Issuer or any Material Group Company; or
then:
Immediately upon the earlier to occur of (i) or (ii), the Issuer shall send a notice to the Bondholders of the same in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices).
Claims in respect of principal and interest will become void unless presentation for payment is made as required by Condition 6 (Redemption and Purchase) within a period of 10 years in the case of principal and five years in the case of interest from the appropriate Relevant Date.
If any Bond or Coupon is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed it may be replaced at the specified office of the Fiscal Agent subject to all applicable laws and stock exchange or other relevant authority requirements, upon payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer may require (provided that the requirement is reasonable in the light of prevailing market practice). Mutilated or defaced Bonds or Coupons must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.
(a) Meetings of Bondholders: The Agency Agreement contains provisions for convening meetings of Bondholders to consider matters affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Agency Agreement) of a modification of any of these Conditions. Such provisions are subject to the Issuer's by-laws in force from time to time and the mandatory provisions of Italian law (including, without limitation, Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended) in force from time to time.
Accordingly, the provisions for meetings of the Bondholders contained in the Agency Agreement shall be deemed to be amended, replaced and supplemented to the extent that any Italian laws, legislation, rules and regulations dealing with the meetings of the Bondholders or the relevant provisions in the by-laws of the Issuer are amended at any time while the Bonds remain outstanding.
In accordance with Article 2415 of the Italian Civil Code, the meeting of Bondholders is empowered to resolve upon the following matters: (i) the appointment and revocation of a joint representative (rappresentante comune) of the Bondholders (a "Bondholders' Representative"), having the powers and duties set out in Article 2418 of the Italian Civil Code; (ii) any amendment to these Conditions; (iii) motions for composition with creditors (concordato) of the Issuer; (iv) establishment of a fund for the expenses necessary for the protection of the common interests of the Bondholders and the related statements of account; and (v) on any other matter of common interest to the Bondholders. The Issuer (through its board of directors (consiglio di amministrazione) or, as the case may be, its management board (consiglio di gestione)), the Bondholders' Representative (as defined below) may convene a meeting at any time and shall be obliged (subject as aforesaid) to do so upon the request in writing of Bondholders holding not less than one-twentieth of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds. If the Issuer or the Bondholders' Representative defaults in convening such a meeting following such request or requisition by the Bondholders representing not less than one-twentieth of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding, the statutory auditors (collegio sindacale) shall do so or, if they so default, the same may be convened by decision of the competent court upon request by such Bondholders. Every such meeting shall be held at such time and place as provided pursuant to Article 2363 of the Italian Civil Code.
According to the Italian Civil Code and the Issuer's by-laws as of the Original Issue Date such meetings will be validly held if (i) in the case of a first meeting (prima convocazione), there are one or more persons present being or representing Bondholders holding at least one-half of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds; (ii) in the case of a second meeting (seconda convocazione) there are one or more persons present being or representing Bondholders holding more than one third of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding; and (iii) in the case of a third meeting there are one or more persons present being or representing Bondholders holding in aggregate at least one fifth of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds for the time being outstanding, provided, however, that Italian law and/or the by-laws of the Issuer may from time to time (to the extent permitted under applicable Italian law) require a higher quorum at any of the above meetings.
The majority required for a meeting (including any adjourned meeting) convened to vote on any resolution (subject to compliance with mandatory laws, legislation, rules and regulations of Italy in force from time to time) will be (a) for voting on any matter other than a Reserved Matter, one or more persons holding or representing at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds represented at the meeting or (b) for voting on a Reserved Matter, one or more persons holding or representing not less than one-half of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds, unless a higher majority is required pursuant to Article 2369 of the Italian Civil Code, and further provided that in each case Italian law and/or the by-laws of the Issuer may from time to time (to the extent permitted under applicable Italian law) require a larger and/or different majority.
The Bonds shall not entitle the Issuer to participate and vote in the Bondholders' meetings. Directors and statutory auditors of the Issuer shall be entitled to attend the Bondholders' meetings. The resolutions validly adopted at any such meetings shall be binding on all Bondholders whether present or not at the meeting and irrespective of whether they voted in favour or against the resolution, and on all Couponholders.
Reserved Matter has the meaning given to it in the Agency Agreement and includes any proposal, as set out in Article 2415, paragraph 1, item 2 of the Italian Civil Code, to modify the Conditions of the Bonds (including, inter alia, any proposal to modify the maturity of the Bonds or the dates on which interest is payable on them, to reduce or cancel the principal amount of, or interest on, the Bonds, or to change the currency of payment of the Bonds).
The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Bondholders or Couponholders create and issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Bonds in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest on them) and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding securities of any series (including the Bonds) or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their issue. References in these Conditions to the Bonds include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single series with the Bonds.
Notices to the Bondholders shall be valid if published in a leading English language daily newspaper (which is expected to be the Financial Times) and (so long as the Bonds are listed on Euronext Dublin and the rules of that Stock Exchange so require) either on the website of Euronext Dublin (https://live.euronext.com/) or in an English language newspaper of general circulation in Europe. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of first publication (or, if required to be published in more than one newspaper, on the first date on which publication shall have been made in all the required
newspapers). Couponholders shall be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notice given to the Bondholders in accordance with this Condition 14 (Notices).
Euros is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer under or in connection with the Bonds, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than euros (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the insolvency, winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer or otherwise) by any Bondholder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer shall only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the euro amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that euro amount is less than the euro amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Bond, the Issuer shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Issuer shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Condition, it will be sufficient for the Bondholder to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase been made. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer's other obligations, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Bondholder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Bond or any other judgment or order.
No Person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Bonds under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
The New Bonds will initially be in the form of a Temporary Global Bond which will be deposited on or around the New Issue Date with a common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
The New Bonds will be issued in new global bond ("NGN") form. On 13 June 2006, the European Central Bank (the "ECB") announced that bonds in NGN form are in compliance with the "Standards for the use of EU securities settlement systems in ECB credit operations" of the central banking system for the Euro (the "Eurosystem"), provided that certain other criteria are fulfilled. At the same time the ECB also announced that arrangements for bonds in NGN form will be offered by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as of 30 June 2006 and that debt securities in global bearer form issued through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg after 31 December 2006 will only be eligible as collateral for Eurosystem operations if the NGN form is used.
The New Bonds are intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility – that is, in a manner which would allow the New Bonds to be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria. As at the date of this Prospectus, one of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria for debt securities is an investment grade rating and accordingly as no credit rating is currently assigned to the New Bonds (or to the Issuer), the New Bonds are not currently expected to satisfy the requirements for Eurosystem eligibility.
The New Bonds will be represented by the Global Bonds except in certain limited circumstances described in the Permanent Global Bond. The Global Bonds will be delivered to a common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Except in certain limited circumstances described in the Permanent Global Bond, investors will not be entitled to receive definitive Bonds. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will maintain records of the beneficial interests in the Global Bonds. While the New Bonds are represented by the Global Bonds, investors will be able to trade their beneficial interests only through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
The Issuer will discharge its payment obligations under the New Bonds by making payments to or to the order of the common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg for distribution to their account holders. A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Bond must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to receive payments under the New Bonds. The Issuer has no responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in the Global Bonds.
Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Bonds will not have a direct right to vote in respect of the New Bonds. Instead, such holders will be permitted to act only to the extent that they are enabled by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to appoint appropriate proxies.
The Temporary Global Bond will be exchangeable in whole or in part for interests in the Permanent Global Bond not earlier than 40 days after the New Issue Date (the "Exchange Date") upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. No payments will be made under the Temporary Global Bond unless exchange for interests in the Permanent Global Bond is improperly withheld or refused. In addition, interest payments in respect of the New Bonds cannot be collected without such certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership.
The Permanent Global Bond will become exchangeable in whole, but not in part, for New Bonds in definitive form ("Definitive Bonds") in the denomination of €1,000 each, at the request of the bearer of the Permanent Global Bond against presentation and surrender of the Permanent Global Bond to the Fiscal Agent if Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any alternative clearing system through which the New Bonds are held is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business.
So long as the New Bonds are represented by a Global Bond and the relevant clearing system(s) so permit, the New Bonds will be tradeable only in the minimum authorised denomination of €1,000.
Whenever the Permanent Global Bond is to be exchanged for Definitive Bonds, the Issuer shall procure the prompt delivery (free of charge to the bearer) of such Definitive Bonds, duly authenticated and with Coupons attached, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Permanent Global Bond to the bearer of the Permanent Global Bond against the surrender of the Permanent Global Bond to or to the order of the Fiscal Agent within 30 days of the occurrence of the relevant exchange event.
In addition, the Temporary Global Bond and the Permanent Global Bond will contain provisions which modify the Terms and Conditions of the New Bonds as they apply to the Temporary Global Bond and the Permanent Global Bond. The following is a summary of certain of those provisions:
Payments: All payments in respect of the Temporary Global Bond and the Permanent Global Bond will be made against presentation and (in the case of payment of principal in full with all interest accrued thereon) surrender of the Temporary Global Bond or (as the case may be) the Permanent Global Bond to or to the order of any Agent and will be effective to satisfy and discharge the corresponding liabilities of the Issuer in respect of the Bonds. On each occasion on which a payment of principal or interest is made in respect of the Temporary Global Bond or (as the case may be) the Permanent Global Bond, the Issuer shall procure that the payment is entered pro rata in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
Payments on business days: In the case of all payments made in respect of the Temporary Global Bond and the Permanent Global Bond Condition 7(d)) (Payments on business days) shall not apply, and all such payments shall be made on a day on which the T2 System is open.
Redemption of the option of the Issuer: In order to exercise the option contained in Condition 6(b) (Redemption for taxation reasons) and 6(c) (Redemption at the option of the Issuer) the Issuer shall give notice to the Bondholders, the relevant clearing system within the time limits set out in and containing the information required by that condition and Condition 6(f) (Notice of redemption). In the case of Condition 6(c) (Redemption at the option of the Issuer) and a partial exercise of an option, the rights of accountholders with the relevant clearing system in respect of the Bonds will be governed by the standard procedures of the relevant clearing system and shall be reflected in the records of the relevant clearing system as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion. Following the exercise of any option, the Issuer shall procure that the nominal amount of the Bonds recorded in the records of the relevant clearing system and represented by the Global Bond shall be reduced accordingly.
Redemption at the option of the Bondholders: The option of the Bondholders in Condition 6(d) (Redemption at the option of the Bondholders upon a Change of Control) may be exercised by the holder of the Permanent Global Bond giving notice to the Agent of the principal amount of Bonds in respect of which the option is exercised within the time limits specified in Condition 6(d) (Redemption at the option of the Bondholders upon a Change of Control).
Notices: Notwithstanding Condition 14 (Notices), while all the Bonds are represented by the Permanent Global Bond (or, as the case may be, by the Permanent Global Bond and/or the Temporary Global Bond) and the Permanent Global Bond is (or, as the case may be, the Permanent Global Bond and/or the Temporary Global Bond are) held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or an alternative clearing system, notices to Bondholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or such alternative and, in any case, such notices shall be deemed to have been given to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices) on the date of delivery to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg except that, for so long as such Bonds are admitted to trading on Euronext Dublin and it is a requirement of applicable law or regulations, such notices shall be published on the website of Euronext Dublin (https://live.euronext.com/).
The Issuer expects the gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately €112,750,000. The estimated total expenses of the Offering will be up to €750,000 (depending on the final size of the Offering), including the Joint Bookrunners' commissions and estimated expenses in respect of the Offering.
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of outstanding indebtedness.

*Disinvested as at 31 March 2025.
** OVS S.p.A. hereby announces that during 2025, following the cancellation of no. 35,891,347 treasury shares (without reduction of the share capital) carried out in execution of the mandate conferred to the Board of Directors by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 19 February 2025, the share capital, amounting to Euro 290,923,470, is now divided into no. 255,032,123 shares. Therefore, TIP owns 32.445% of the share capital.
TIP believes it represents a partner with attractive characteristics for both entrepreneurs and the companies in which it invests, including:
The ten-year TIP share chart set out below (as at and for the period ended 9 May 2025) highlights the performance of TIP shares, up 125.9%, outperforming almost all major Italian and international indexes, with a total return(1) for TIP shareholders over the ten of 159.9%, which corresponds to an average annual figure of approximately 16% and a compound figure of 10%.
After an excellent performance in 2023 and a further increase in value until the first few months of 2024, the price of the TIP share subsequently fluctuated in a range that was far from both the net intrinsic value estimated internally on the basis of our knowledge of existing investments and from the target prices of the analysts covering the stock.
The performance of the TIP stock during 2025 was affected by the general trend in the financial markets, but was also penalised as a result of trends in the mid-cap and smallcap segments to which such stock relates.

(1) Total return source: Bloomberg (Divs. Reinv. Secur.) Since the date of listing of its shares on Euronext STAR Milan (previously Mercato Telematico Azionario market, Star segment), organized and managed by Borsa Italiana (the "IPO Date"), the Issuer has distributed to its shareholders a total of €189 million.
In addition since the IPO Date the Issuer has bought back treasury shares for a total amount of €202 million (cumulated purchase cost). As at 14 May 2025 the implicit capital gain on the current treasury shares stake of n. 20,433,558 shares (equal to 11.082 % of the share capital) was 20%.
Since the IPO Date, TIP distributed two times warrants for free to shareholders. The cumulated capital injections from the exercise of such warrants amounted to €200 million.
TIP market capitalization as at 12 May 2025 was approximately €1.5 billion.
The table set out below summarises TIP's consolidated net equity and investments respectively for the annual financial periods ended 31 December 2020 to 31 December 2024 and as at 31 March 2025.

Consolidated shareholders' equity at 31 December 2024 remained stable 1.4 billion, after dividend distributions of 24.8 million and further purchases of treasury shares of 11.5 million.
In June 2024, the issue was finalised of a bond loan with a nominal value of €290,500,000, maturing in June 2029. The cash from this issue, which was temporarily invested in government bonds, was used to prematurely repay, in July 2024, the previous bond loan of a nominal value of €300,000,000, maturing in December 2024.
According to TIP's management accounts, consolidated net profits in the years 2019-2024, based on Adjusted Data (See: "Adjusted Data"), are the following:
The consolidated net profit for 2024 derived in fact in large part from the good performance of the investees, whose results were much more positive than might have been expected, while during 2024 capital gains reached only around €24 million.
The consolidated net profit on the basis of Adjusted Data as at 31 March 2025 has been €6.6 million. The result of the first quarter of 2025 is essentially attributable to the positive results realised by the investees and a modest capital gain.
TIP has historically made very limited use of leverage as indicated in the table below showing the ratio between the net financial position and the total equity, the total asset and the intrinsic value respectively as at 31 December 2019, 31 December 2020, 31 December 2021, 31 December 2022, 31 December 2023, 31 March 2024, 31 December 2024 and 31 March 2025.

It is also to be noted that TIP owns treasury shares (the treasury shares reserve at 31 December 2024 amounted to €131 million) which are an additional potential source of liquidity if sold back on the market. In terms of additional liquidity for investments, the TIP Group has access to sources of liquidity from the residual commitments of the shareholders of ITACA for approximately €553 million.

At 31 December 2024, €85,000,000 relating to a bank loan maturing on 31 December 2025 (the "Banco BPM Term Loan") was reclassified to current financial debt.
In June 2024, the issue was finalised of a bond loan with a nominal value of 290,500,000, maturing in June 2029. The cash from this issue, which was temporarily invested in government bonds, was used to prematurely repay, in July, the previous bond loan of a nominal value of 300,000,000, maturing in December 2024.
The variation as of 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024 is mainly attributable to the purchase of treasury shares in the quarter, for €6.8 million, and to operating expenses net of the disposal income of Alkemy, the cash-in of a deferred price component on a disposal that was carried out in previous years, and dividends received.
As at 31 December 2024, non-current financial payables comprises:

The Issuer was incorporated under Italian law on 2 February 1993 as a limited liability company under the name "G. Tamburi S.r.l.". On 2 February 2000 the Issuer's name was changed to "Web Equity S.r.l.". On 9 March 2000, the Issuer was transformed from a limited liability company (società a responsabilità limitata) to a joint stock company (società per azioni) thus changing its corporate name into "Web Equity S.p.A.". On 16 May 2003 the Issuer name was changed to "Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A." or, in short form, "T.I.P. S.p.A.". The shareholders' meeting of the Issuer held on 29 June 2005, without prejudice to the above-mentioned names, resolved to add another short form name, "TIP S.p.A."
TIP was created to invest in medium size companies to help them in the acceleration of growth. Investment activities started with a capital of around 65 billion Italian lire (the equivalent of approximately €33 million), provided by about 70 shareholders, almost all entrepreneurs. In 2002 TIP started investing in companies listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, as of the date of this Prospectus Euronext Milan, a regulated market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. ("Euronext Milan").
In 2003 TIP increased its share capital, collecting additional resources in the amount of approximately €44 million and expanded its shareholder base to include more than 30 new investors. In the same year, TIP completed the integration of Tamburi & Associati (T&A) to include the advisory activities division within the Issuer, enabling TIP to approach medium-sized companies both as an "equity provider" (minority investor for development) and as a "corporate finance service provider" (advisor for M&A / Corporate Finance transactions). Over the years that followed, TIP shifted the focus of investments towards larger companies and listed companies.
The Issuer was listed on Euronext Milan, a regulated marked organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., Euronext STAR Milan segment, as of the date of this Prospectus Euronext Milan, on 9 November 2005 and from December 2010, Borsa Italiana S.p.A. TIP shares have been admitted to trading in the STAR segment. Since the first day of listing, TIP has completed buy-backs totalling an overall value as at 10 May 2024 of approximately €185 million, and has distributed dividends totalling approximately €164 million (€21.7 in fiscal year 2023, €18.5 in fiscal year 2022, €16.9 in fiscal year 2021 and €14.3 in fiscal year 2020) and received approximately €200 million of capital injections from the free distribution of warrants.
In 2014 TIP diversified its investment activity by launching a project dedicated to medium-sized companies looking to list on a stock exchange in the medium term. A special vehicle, TIP-Pre Ipo S.p.A. ("TIPO") was created in which TIP holds 29.9 per cent. alongside other shareholders, including a number of family offices, with total available capital to be invested at the time of its creation amounting to €140 million. TIPO focuses on investments in companies with a turnover below €200 million. TIPO has not incurred any indebtedness.
In 2016, TIP expanded its investment activity through the creation of the "Asset Italia" investment project, dedicated to larger companies. A special vehicle, Asset Italia S.p.A. ("Asset Italia"), was created in which TIP holds 20.0 per cent. alongside other shareholders, including approximately 30 family offices, with total available capital to be invested at the time of its creation amounting to €550 million. Asset Italia focuses on investments in companies with a turnover exceeding €200 million, with shareholders in Asset Italia given the opportunity to assess each investment before participating in a new investment, using a "club deal" format (with TIP required to participate in all investments). On each new investment, participating shareholders are allocated special "tracking shares" which in the future will be converted into Asset Italia shares reflecting the change in value of the relevant investment.
In 2017 TIP consolidated its existing investment activity in the digital and innovation segment. A special vehicle, StarTIP S.r.l. ("StarTIP"), was created to exploit the segments of digital and innovation. StarTIP aims to be a hub in Italian digital and technological innovation, supporting the acceleration of the development of Italian innovative organizations. At the time of its creation, TIP reorganised its investments to contribute the shares held previously through other investment projects in Digital Magics (an incubator of Italian start-ups starting from 1 April 2024 merged into Zest S.p.A.) and Talent Garden (an Italian company which management believes was the first European coworking network for digital start-ups).
In 2021 ITACA was launched, operating with a €600 million soft commitment, €100 million of which is from TIP, in the area of strategic, organisational and financial turnaround operations. After analysing numerous dossiers, in 2022 Itaca finalised its first investment.

The following chart shows the history of the current investment composition.
(*) Club deal. (**) Merged into Zest S.p.A. on 1 April 2024.
During 2024, TIP continued its prudent valuation of potential new investments, in perspective of increasing opportunities, in terms of both numbers of transactions and price levels. TIP limited its investments in equity to €11.4 million, concentrated on equity investments already in the portfolio, in addition to purchases of treasury shares for a further €11.5 million, while the flow generated by the decrease in direct investments (therefore including disposals and distributions of dividends from associates that were not taken to the income statement but recorded as a reduction in investment) was €68.1 million.
StarTIP: In January 2024, StarTIP participated, on a proportionate basis, in a new capital increase of Bending Spoons with an investment of an additional €4.7 million. As a result of the transaction, the TIP Group – which has always grown in proportion since its first investment in this company – had a stake in Bending Spoons as at 31 December 2024 of approximately 3.3% which, based on the most recent transactions in the company's securities, means that, at the prices of the latest transactions, the value of the TIP package is at least ten times what has so far been invested.
Investindesign: In March 2024, Investindesign acquired additional Dexelance shares, with an investment of approximately €2.6 million, slightly increasing its stake.
Sale of Prysmian shares: Following the decision made in 2023, sales of Prysmian shares continued in the first few months of 2024, with completion of the divestment in March 2024.
Zest: In April, the merger by absorption of Digital Magics S.p.A. into Zest S.p.A. (formerly LVenture Group S.p.A.) took effect. Following the merger, according to the exchange ratio, StarTIP received 22,029,906 shares of Zest S.p.A. With a 13.708% stake in equity and 13.334% of the voting rights, it is the single largest shareholder of the group, which currently contains more than 250 shareholdings in innovative and technological companies.
Landi Renzo: As part of the Landi Renzo S.p.A. financial optimisation project, completed in July 2024, and the commitments entered into by Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., through its subsidiary Itaca Gas S.r.l., to subscribe to a share of the capital increase of GBD (the holding company that controls the Land Renzo group) of up to €10 million, already paid to GBD, TIP in turn made a payment of approximately €2.45 million for a future capital increase of Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A. Landi Renzo's capital increase was completed in December 2024, while Itaca Equity Holding's capital increase was completed in January 2025.
Alkemy: StarTIP decided not to join the takeover bid launched in 2024 on Alkemy shares, given the contradictory attitude of management shortly before and after the launch of the takeover bid. In just a few days, the entire picture of the company seemed to have changed, and it was no coincidence that the takeover bid ended with limited adherence, despite the lowering of the minimum threshold from 90% to around 50%. StarTIP then entered into a shareholders' agreement with some international and Italian shareholders, individuals and institutions, for the sole purpose of filing a slate of candidates for minority shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting of December 2024, called to revoke the previous Board of Directors and to appoint the new one. Subsequent events are known. In view of the performance of Alkemy's business, in February 2025 StarTip signed a contract with Retex for the transfer of all of Alkemy's shares, representing 7.139% of the capital, in return for payment of a consideration of €12.00 per share, executed on 31 March 2025. The sale of all shares held in Alkemy generated proceed of approximately 4.8 million euros, including a capital gain, since various write-downs had been made on the investment in the past.
Roche Bobois: Purchases of additional Roche Bobois shares through subsidiary TXR had begun in September, and will continue in 2025. Consequently, the equity investment increased slightly.
Monrif: In September, Monti Riffeser S.r.l. launched a voluntary full public tender offer on the shares of Monrif S.p.A., acting in concert with certain parties, including TIP. The takeover bid resulted in the acquisition of a number of shares that was not sufficient to lead to the automatic delisting of the company. With a second agreement, Monti Riffeser and the participants in the above agreement decided to continue buying shares on the market.
Following the completion of the activities related to the obligation to purchase the residual ordinary shares of Monrif S.p.A. that were not tendered in the public tender offer, Monti Riffeser S.r.l. together with the persons acting in concert with it (including TIP) became the owners, in total, of 94.395% of the share capital of Monrif S.p.A. As planned, the shares of Monrif were delisted from listing and trading on the Euronext Milan market as of the session of 8 May 2025.
SeSa: In October 2024, direct purchases were made of SeSa S.p.A. shares on the market.
Asset Italia / Alpitour: In December 2024, the investee Asset Italia 1 S.r.l., of which – through Asset Italia S.p.A. – TIP holds around 36%, received from the companies Dal 1802 Educazione Cultura Salute Ambiente Tecnologia S.r.l. and Parabensa S.r.l. pre-emptive offers for the purchase of all the equity investments held by these companies in Alpiholding S.r.l. and in Alpitour S.p.A., which collectively represent (directly and indirectly) 36.03% of the capital of Alpitour S.p.A. A similar pre-emption offer was also sent by the same companies to Alpiholding S.r.l., of which Asset Italia 1 S.r.l. holds 49.9% of the share capital, as it is a direct owner of Alpitour S.p.A. shares. Given the uniqueness of the Alpitour group in the international tourism landscape and taking into account its considerable assets, given the substantially structural nature of the profitability achieved and its economic and financial outlook, the pre-emptive rights were therefore exercised in January 2025. The total outlay required to complete the transaction is over €200 million. When the transaction is complete, Asset Italia will hold approximately 95% of Alpitour's capital. Following the various authorisations required to finalise the transaction which were filed at the beginning of April 2025, it is expected to be closed by the end of the summer 2025. The investment that TIP requires to subscribe for its own stake - given the valuation attributed to this purchase of just 565 million, and envisaging the use of bank financing to optimise the transaction - would amount to approximately 45 million euros. If no other shareholder were to participate, the maximum total investment would amount to just over 100 million euros. However, at the moment most of the shareholders surveyed are confirming their interest in participating.
As part of the investment in Asset Italia S.p.A., the shareholders of Asset Italia decided to extend the original term of the planned integration of Asset Italia into TIP, initially scheduled to take place by the end of July 2024, in order to define the most appropriate technical method to implement – as is already happening with generally satisfactory results – an alternative path, as a result of which the shareholders of Asset Italia will become shareholders of individual companies respectively dedicated to the investment in Alpitour and Limonta or, in any case direct or indirect shareholders in the target companies in which Asset Italia has invested.
In April, the share buyback plan approved by the shareholders' meeting on 29 April 2024, was completed, and a new share buyback program was launched for up to an additional 5,000,000 shares to be carried out by 29 October 2026.
The usual active management of liquidity continued.
TIP is the parent company of the TIP Group, as described in the structure chart below. TIP has invested, through direct deals and club deals, in companies it considers "excellent" from an entrepreneurial point of view. As of the date of this Prospectus, TIP has, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries and associated companies, investments in listed and unlisted companies.
This section contains a description of TIP's investee companies, with a description of activities of the underlying businesses. The financial results reported below refer, where available, to the latest financial statements or press releases approved and published by each entity.
Set out below is an indication of TIP's investee companies, split into listed companies, not listed companies and StarTIP investments. In relation to certain of TIP's investee companies, some events impacting those companies in recent months have been set out below. TIP does not purport for this to be an exhaustive list and, in this regard, reference should be made to the publicly available information in relation to each of the companies.

Management believes that the book value for each of TIP's investments is not indicative of the intrinsic value of each investment, as the book value is a financial parameter, rather than an analysis of the value of a company and its business. TIP carries out an analysis of each investment based on its knowledge of the relevant entity, and the medium-term outlook of those companies as being the value at which TIP estimates it will be able to monetise the asset. In addition to its own analysis, TIP monitors publicly available analyst estimates.

TIP's calculations of TIP's estimated intrinsic values of its investments are not IFRS measures and are not calculated based on IFRS financial information. TIP's calculations may differ from other companies in the industry. TIP's calculations of TIP's estimated intrinsic values should not be considered in replacement of IFRS revenue or any other IFRS measure. TIP's calculations of TIP's estimated intrinsic values are not necessarily indicative of the value of any investments (individually or in the aggregate), nor are they indicative of future valuations, and may subject to substantial fluctuations. As such, investors should not place undue reliance on TIP's calculations of TIP's estimated intrinsic values.
The intrinsic value of TIP's investments is the analytical valuation performed by TIP for each investment, representing the Issuer's expectation in the medium-term according to the valuation methods recognised by international best practice, taking into account a medium-term outlook of the companies' fundamentals as well as the expected valorisation strategy. TIP has applied the calculation method consistently over the years anticipating the value recognised by the target price of analysts and the market price of TIP share that have aligned to the intrinsic value with a time gap.

TIP has a stake in Alpitour (transparently on fully diluted bases) of approximately 21.1% through investment in Asset Italia 1. TIP holds 36.2% of the tracking shares related to Asset Italia 1. As at 31 December 2024, Asset Italia 1 held a 49.9% stake in Alpiholding S.r.l., which in turn held 40.90% (43.14% on a fully diluted basis) of the capital stock of Alpitour S.p.A. and a direct 35.18% shareholding in Alpitour S.p.A. (37.11% on a fully diluted basis).
Alpitour operates in the tourism sector in Italy in the tour operating (offline and online), aviation, hotel, travel agency and incoming segments. This is a combination of autonomous and independent yet complementary businesses that have an opportunity to achieve synergies which can have significant effects on the group's growth and profitability, due to the scalability of its business model. The group's leadership has been strengthened by ongoing investments in hotel facilities, aircraft and IT, including during the pandemic. It now has around 1 million travellers at over 100 destinations, a (recently expanded and renewed) fleet of 15 aircraft (increasing to 18 in a few months) with new, independent routes, a collection of 26 luxury hotels and resorts and approximately 2,600 affiliated travel agencies in Italy.
The financial year ended 31 October 2024 reported consolidated revenues of approximately €2.1 billion, up 6.7%. EBITDA (before IFRS 16) was approximately €138 million, essentially in line with the record level reached in the previous year, despite the negative impact of difficulties with the Egypt destination and some delays in the delivery of new aircraft.
The year 2024/25, which has just begun, has confirmed the trend of growth, with the first quarter of the year which, once again, is demonstrating the structural nature of the profitability, with EBITDA not only positive, despite the fact that the seasonal nature of the business has a strong negative effect in winter, but actually higher than in the same period of the previous year. The net financial position at 31 October 2024 was approximately 212 million euros (before the effects of IFRS 16) with a leverage currently at around 1.5x, leaving ample room for further investment to support the further growth of the group.
In January, Asset Italia 1 S.r.l., as indicated above, exercised its pre-emptive right to purchase the entire shareholding of approximately 36%, following which Asset Italia 1 will hold approximately 95% of Alpitour.
The investment that TIP requires to subscribe for its own stake - given the valuation attributed to this purchase of just €565 million, and envisaging the use of bank financing to optimise the transaction - would amount to approximately €45 million. If no other shareholder were to participate, the maximum total investment would amount to just over €100 million.

The shareholders' meeting of TIP on 14 July 2016 approved to confer a proxy to the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, to increase the share capital ("Proxy") against payment via the issue of ordinary shares with the same characteristics of the ones outstanding, with exclusion of the option right pursuant to the paragraph 4.1 of the article 2441 of the Italian Civil Code, to service the contribution in kind of Asset Italia shares by the Asset Italia shareholders (except from TIP).
The extraordinary Shareholders' meeting on 29 April 2020 resolved the conferment of powers to the Board of Directors of TIP to increase the paid-in share capital pursuant to article 2443 of the civil code, referred to in the article 6.3 of the by- laws of TIP currently in force, for a period of five years from the date of the resolution of extension of the final term. The power conferred refers to a paid capital increase, for a maximum amount of €1,500,000,000, including any share premium, to be executed within five years of the date of the resolution, through the issue of ordinary shares without nominal value, with the same features as those in circulation and with regular rights, with exclusion of the option right pursuant to article 2441, paragraph 4, first paragraph, of the Italian civil code, in order to undertake: (i) with contributions in kind of ordinary shares of Asset Italia; and (ii) in favour of the shareholders of Asset Italia other than TIP, in order to allow the Board of Directors to carry out its commitments related to the Asset Italia project. Consequently the Shareholders' meeting approved also the coherent amendment of Article 6 of the bylaws.
On 14 March 2024, the Board of Directors also approved TIP's adherence to the proposal that the Board of Directors of Asset Italia submitted to its shareholders in recent months, which envisages the implementation of an evolutionary process for the Asset Italia project by methods that differ somewhat from what was originally envisaged. In this regard, the Board of Directors, on 14 March 2024, decided also not to avail itself of the aforementioned power to increase the share capital described in the previous paragraph.
In particular, the planned course of action provides that, instead of the proposed integration of Asset Italia into TIP, the Asset Italia shareholders, including TIP, will become shareholders of single vehicles dedicated respectively to investment in Alpitour and Limonta, or in any case will become direct or indirect shareholders of the target companies in which Asset Italia has invested, with a view to creating more effective and distinct tracks - including in terms of timescale - for the processes of developing the individual target companies according to the technical method that will be identified as the most appropriate and efficient to pursue these objectives.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries are not involved in any pending legal or tax proceeding which may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the Issuer and/or Group's financial position or profitability, nor have they received written notification threatening any such legal or tax proceeding.
The board of directors of the Issuer ("Board of Directors") is responsible for managing the Issuer in accordance with applicable laws, constitutional documents and shareholder resolutions. The principal functions of the Board of Directors are to carry out the business and to legally represent the Issuer in its dealings with third parties. Under the Issuer's by-laws, the Board of Directors may consist of between 9 and 13 directors, as established by the ordinary shareholders' meeting. At least 2 directors must meet the requirements of independence established by Article 148 of the Consolidated Financial Act and by Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.
The current 10 members of the Board of Directors were appointed by a resolution of TIP's shareholders' meeting held on 29 April 2025 and will hold office until the shareholders' meeting called for the approval of the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2027. For the purposes of their function as members of the Board of Directors of TIP, the business address of each of the members of the Board of Directors is the registered office of TIP.

The Issuer is managed by an executive management team which consist of:
The other principal activities carried out by the executive management team are set forth above under "Board of Directors – Members of the Board of Directors".
As at March 31, 2025 TIP's executive management, unchanged since the incorporation, owns around 12% of the share capital, i.e. approximately at the same level of the two biggest shareholders (of which Mr. Giovanni Tamburi 8.5%, Ms. Alessandra Gritti 1.8% and Mr. Claudio Berretti 1.9%).
Pursuant to applicable Italian law, the Issuer has appointed a board of statutory auditors (collegio sindacale) ("Board of Statutory Auditors") whose purpose is to oversee the Issuer's compliance with the law and its own bylaws, verify compliance with best practices in the administration of its business, and assess the adequacy of internal controls and accounting reporting systems, including the adequacy of the procedures in place for the exchange of information between the Issuer and its subsidiaries. As at the date of this Prospectus, there are three standing auditors on the Board of Statutory Auditors. Members of the board of statutory auditors are appointed by TIP's shareholders at ordinary shareholders' meetings. Its members are elected through a closed list system, according to rules and definitions analogous to the appointment process for the Board of Directors.
The current Board of Statutory Auditors (Collegio Sindacale) of TIP was appointed by a resolution of TIP's shareholders' meeting held on 29 April 2024 and will hold office until the shareholders' meeting called for the purpose of approving TIP's financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2026.

As at the date hereof, the above mentioned members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of the Issuer do not have any potential conflicts of interests between duties to the Issuer and their private interests or other duties.
As at 31 December 2024, TIP had a total of 14 employees.
There are no material contracts entered into outside the ordinary course of TIP's activity that have been or may reasonably be expected to be material to its ability to meet its obligations to the Bondholders.
With effect from 1 January 2018, the TIP Group was required to adopt IFRS 9 in preparing its financial statements. This resulted in a change in the accounting policies and criteria used from those applied for the preparation of the financial statements at 31 December 2017, with the consequent reclassifications and adjustments of the amounts in the financial statements. The main effect of the adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018 resulted in the non-inclusion in the income statement of financial income relating to the reversal of the gains/losses on disposal of equity investments at the moment of their realisation. The fair value changes matured were recorded under "Increases/decreases in investments measured at FVOCI" of other comprehensive income without reversal through profit or loss, with counter-entry to the FVOCI reserves; at the time of sale, the cumulative gain was reversed from the FVOCI reserve directly to other equity reserves.
For comparable presentation to shareholders of period results in continuity with those of the previous years considered more representative, not only for operating purposes, of the effective results, the annual 2023 and 2024 and the first quarter 2025 and 2024 adjusted income statement determined by considering realised capital gains and losses and write-downs on investments in equity is presented below (the "Adjusted Data"). Such Adjusted Data has been extracted from the Directors' Report set out in the 2023 Annual Report, the 2024 Annual Report and the Additional periodic disclosure at March 2025, respectively. The Adjusted Data has not been audited. TIP believes that such presentation renders its presentation of results more comprehensible, and as such intends to continue providing such adjusted income statement data going forward.
With respect to the interpretation of such Adjusted Data, the Issuer notes that: (i) Adjusted Data differ significantly from the corresponding data that are included in or can be inferred from TIP's financial statements, (ii) Adjusted Data is calculated by management on the basis of accounting policies that are no longer applicable, (iii) Adjusted Data may be inconsistent with data adopted by other companies/groups and, as such, may not be comparable, and (iv) Adjusted Data must be read in conjunction with TIP's financial statements.
The Adjusted Data start from, but are different in nature from, TIP's financial statements. KPMG S.p.A. is the current auditor of TIP and audited the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024, but no procedures have been performed in respect of the Adjusted Data with the objective of expressing an opinion on such Adjusted Data and no opinion has been expressed on the Adjusted Data. Investors should not place undue reliance on the Adjusted Data, which could result in an incorrect assessment of the economic, equity and/or financial position of TIP and thus make an incorrect, non-advisable or inadequate investment decision. See "Risk Factors – The Adjusted Data included in this Prospectus have been presented to facilitate an understanding of TIP's results; they are not indicative of TIP's future performance and reliance on such data without understanding the limitations described below could lead to an incorrect assessment of TIP's financial position".

Prospective purchasers of Bonds are advised to consult their tax advisers as to the consequences, under the tax laws of the countries of their respective citizenship, residence or domicile, of a purchase of Bonds, including, but not limited to, the consequences of receipt of payments of interest, premium and other proceeds under the Bonds and their holding, disposal or redemption.
The statements herein regarding taxation summarise the main Italian tax consequences of the purchase, the ownership, the redemption and the disposal of the Bonds. They apply to a holder of Bonds only if such holder purchases its Bonds in this offering.
This is a general overview that does not apply to certain categories of investors and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations which may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Bonds. It does not discuss every aspect of Italian taxation that may be relevant to a Bondholder if such Bondholder is subject to special circumstances or if such Bondholder is subject to special treatment under applicable law.
This overview also assumes that the Issuer is resident in the Republic of Italy for tax purposes, is structured and conducts its business in the manner outlined in this Prospectus. Changes in the Issuer's organisational structure, tax residence or the manner in which it conducts its business may invalidate this overview. This overview also assumes that each transaction with respect to the Bonds is at arm's length.
Where in this overview, English terms and expressions are used to refer to Italian concepts, the meaning to be attributed to such terms and expressions shall be the meaning to be attributed to the equivalent Italian concepts under Italian tax law.
The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force in the Republic of Italy as at the date of this Prospectus and on the published practice of the Italian tax authorities currently in force in Italy and are subject to any changes in laws occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis.
According to Law 111, the Italian Tax Reform could significantly change the statements set out below regarding taxation and, in particular, the taxation of financial incomes and capital gains, that may impact on the current tax regime of the Bonds.
The Issuer will not update this overview to reflect changes in laws and if such a change occurs the information in this overview could become invalid.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the overall tax consequences under Italian tax law, under the tax laws of the country in which they are resident for tax purposes and of any other potentially relevant jurisdiction of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Bonds and receiving payments of interest, principal and/or other amounts under the Bonds, including in particular the effect of any state, regional or local tax laws.
Decree 239, as subsequently amended and supplemented, governs the income tax treatment of interest, premium and other income (including any difference between the redemption amount and the issue price, hereinafter collectively referred to as "Interest") from bonds issued by an Italian issuer which has its shares traded on a qualifying regulated market or on a multilateral trading platform of EU Member States and of the States party to the EEA Agreement included in the list of states allowing an adequate exchange of information with the Italian tax authorities, as indicated by the Italian Ministerial Decree of September 4, 1996, as amended and supplemented by Ministerial Decree of March 23, 2017 and possibly further amended by future decrees issued pursuant to Article 11 par. 4 (c) of Decree 239 (the "White List Countries", each a "White List Country"). The provisions of Decree No. 239 only apply to Bonds which qualify as bonds (obbligazioni) and securities similar to bonds (titoli similari alle obbligazioni) pursuant to Article 44 of Decree No. 917.
Pursuant to Article 44, paragraph 2, letter (c), number 2) of Decree No. 917, securities similar to bonds are securities that (i) incorporate an unconditional obligation to actually pay, at maturity or redemption, an amount not lower than their nominal amount and that (ii) do not give any right to directly or indirectly participate either in the management of the issuer or the business in relation to which they have been issued, nor any type of control on such management, and that (iii) do not provide for a remuneration which is linked to profits of the Issuer.
Where an Italian resident Bondholder is (i) an individual not engaged in an entrepreneurial activity to which the Bonds are connected, (ii) a non-commercial partnership, pursuant to article 5 of Decree No. 917, (iii) a non-commercial private or public institution, or (iv) an investor exempt from Italian corporate income taxation, Interest payments relating to the Bonds, accrued during the relevant holding period, are subject to a substitutive tax, referred to as imposta sostitutiva, levied at the rate of 26% (either when the Interest is paid by the Issuer, or when payment thereof is obtained by the Bondholder on a sale of the relevant Bonds). In the event that the Bondholders described under (i) and (iii) above are engaged in an entrepreneurial activity to which the Bonds are connected, the imposta sostitutiva applies as a provisional tax and will then be included in the relevant Bondholders annual income tax return and it may be credited against the overall income tax due by the taxpayer in respect of the income derived from its business activity which will include the Interest.
Subject to certain limitations and requirements (including a minimum holding period), Italian resident individuals not acting in connection with an entrepreneurial activity to which the Bonds are connected or social security entities pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 509 of 30 June 1994 and Legislative Decree No. 103 of 10 February 1996 may be exempt from any income taxation, including the imposta sostitutiva, on Interest relating to the Bonds if the Bonds are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth from time to time under Italian law.
Pursuant to Decree 239, imposta sostitutiva is levied by banks, società di intermediazione mobiliare ("SIMs"), fiduciary companies, società di gestione del risparmio ("SGRs"), stock exchange agents and other entities identified by the relevant Decrees of the Ministry of Economics and Finance, as subsequently amended and integrated (the "Intermediaries").
An Intermediary to be entitled to apply the imposta sostitutiva, must satisfy the following conditions:
Where the Bonds are not deposited with an Intermediary, the imposta sostitutiva is applied and withheld by any Italian bank or any Italian intermediary paying Interest to a Bondholder, or in their absence by the Issuer. If Interest on the Bonds is not collected through an Intermediary, or absent that, by the Issuer, the Italian resident Bondholders listed above under (i) to (iv) will be required to include Interest in their annual income tax return and subject them to a final substitute tax at a rate of 26%.
The 26% imposta sostitutiva regime described herein does not apply in cases where the Bonds are held in a discretionary investments managed by an authorised intermediary pursuant to the so-called discretionary investments regime ("Risparmio Gestito" regime as defined and described in "Capital Gains", below), provided for by Article 7 of Decree 461. In such a case, Interest is not subject to imposta sostitutiva but contributes to determine the annual net accrued result of the portfolio, which is subject to an ad-hoc substitutive tax of 26% on the results.
The imposta sostitutiva also does not apply to the following Italian resident persons, to the extent that the Bonds and the relevant coupons are deposited in a timely manner, directly or indirectly, with an Intermediary (as defined below):
(A) Corporate investors
Where an Italian resident Bondholder is a company or similar commercial entity (including a permanent establishment in Italy of a foreign company to which the Bonds are effectively connected), Interest accrued on the Bonds must be included in: (I) the relevant Bondholder's yearly taxable income for the purposes of IRES, generally applying at the current ordinary rate of 24%5 (certain categories of taxpayers, including banks and financial entities are subject to an IRES surcharge equal to 3.5%); and (II) in certain circumstances, depending on the status of the Bondholder, also in its net value of production for the purposes of regional tax on productive activities ("IRAP"), generally applying at the rate of 3.9% (certain categories of taxpayers, including banks, financial entities and insurance companies, are subject to higher IRAP rates). The IRAP rate can be increased by regional laws up to 0.92%. Said Interest is therefore subject to general Italian corporate taxation according to the ordinary rules.
Interest paid to Italian investment funds subject to regulatory supervision (including a Fondo Comune d'Investimento, a SICAV (società di investimento a capitale variabile, an investment company with variable capital), a SICAF as defined below, collectively, the "Funds") are subject neither to imposta sostitutiva nor to any other income tax in the hands of the Funds. Proceeds paid by the Funds to their unitholders are generally subject to a 26% withholding tax.
(C) Pension funds
Pension fund (subject to the regime provided for by Article 17 of the Legislative Decree No. 252 of 5 December 2005, the "Pension Funds") are subject to a 20% substitutive tax on their annual net accrued result. Interest on the Bonds is included in the calculation of such annual net accrued result. Subject to certain conditions (including minimum holding period requirement) and several limitations (including amount and composition of the capital investment), Interest relating to the Bonds may be excluded from the taxable base of the 20% substitute tax if the Bonds are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth from time to time under Italian law.
Interest payments in respect of the Bonds to Italian resident real estate investment funds established pursuant to Article 37 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Real Estate Investment Funds") and to Italian resident "società di investimento a capitale fisso" ("SICAFs") are generally subject neither to imposta sostitutiva nor to any other income tax in the hands of the same Real Estate Investment Funds. Unitholders are generally subject to a 26% withholding tax on distribution of proceeds from the Real Estate Investments Funds and / or income realized upon redemption or disposal of the relevant unites or shares. Law Decree No. 70 of 13 May 2011 (converted with amendments by Law No. 106 of 12 July 2011) has introduced certain changes to the tax treatment of the unitholders of Real
5 Law No. 207 of 30 December 2024 (2025 Budget Law) introduced a provisional special reduction of the IRES rate to 20%, applicable, for the time being, exclusively for tax year 2025. Requirements to qualify for this reduction include, among others: (i) the taxpayer temporarily retaining at least 80% of its 2024 earnings for no less than two fiscal years, (ii) investing a certain amount in qualifying assets, which must be the greater of 30% of the 2024 retained earnings or 24% of the 2023 overall earnings, and (iii) sustaining or increasing certain levels of employment as defined by the law. Recapture mechanisms apply if the conditions for the tax rate reduction are not maintained or if the qualifying assets listed sub (ii) are transferred.
Estate Investment Funds, including a direct imputation system (tax transparency) for certain nonqualifying unitholders (e.g. Italian resident individuals) holding more than 5% of the units of the fund.
An exemption from imposta sostitutiva applies on Interest on the Bonds with respect to certain beneficial owners resident outside of Italy, not having a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Bonds are effectively connected. In particular, pursuant to Article 6 of Decree 239, the aforesaid exemption applies to any beneficial owner of an Interest payment relating to the Bonds who: (i) is resident, for tax purposes, in a White List Country; or (ii) is an international body or entity set up in accordance with international agreements which have entered into force in the Republic of Italy; or (iii) is the Central Bank of Ireland or an entity which manages, inter alia, the official reserves of a foreign State; or (iv) is an "institutional investor", whether or not subject to tax, that is established in a White List Country, even if it does not possess the status of a taxpayer in its own country of establishment.
The exemption procedure for Bondholders who are non-resident in Italy and are resident in a White List Country identifies two categories of intermediaries:
In the event that a non-Italian resident Bondholder deposits the Bonds directly with a Second Level Bank, the latter shall be treated both as a First Level Bank and a Second Level Bank.
The exemption from the imposta sostitutiva for the Bondholders who are non-resident in Italy is conditional upon:
The Imposta sostitutiva will be applicable at the rate of 26% to Interest paid to non-Italian Resident Bondholders who do not qualify for the foregoing exemption or do not timely and properly satisfy the relevant conditions and procedural requirements provided for the exemption to apply (including the procedures set forth under Decree 239 and in the relevant implementing rules).
Non-Italian Resident Bondholders who are subject to the Imposta sostitutiva may, nevertheless, be eligible for full or partial relief under an applicable double tax treaty entered into by Italy and the State of tax residence of the relevant Bondholder, if more favourable, subject to timely filing of required documentation provided by Regulation of the Director of Italian Revenue Agency No. 2013/84404 of 10 July 2013.
Pursuant to Article 11 (2) of Decree 239, where the Issuer issues a new tranche of Bonds forming part of a single series with the first tranche of Bonds, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Interest subject to imposta sostitutiva (if any), the issue price of the new tranche will be deemed to be the same as the issue price of the first tranche to the extent that certain conditions are met. This rule applies where (a) the new tranche is issued within 12 months from the issue date of the first tranche and (b) the difference between the issue price of the new tranche and that of the first tranche does not exceed 1% of the nominal value of the Bonds multiplied by the number of years of the duration of the Bonds.
Any gain obtained from the sale or redemption of the Bonds would be treated as part of the taxable income (and, in certain circumstances, depending on the status of the Bondholder, also as part of the net value of the production for IRAP purposes) if realised by an Italian company or a similar commercial entity (including the Italian permanent establishment of foreign entities to which the Bonds are connected) or Italian resident individuals engaged in an entrepreneurial activity to which the Bonds are connected.
Pursuant to Decree 461, as amended, a 26% imposta sostitutiva on capital gains (the "CGT") is applicable to capital gains realised on any sale or transfer of the Bonds for consideration by Italian resident individuals (not engaged in a business activity to which the Bonds are effectively connected), regardless of whether the Bonds are held outside of Italy. The regime applies to: (i) individuals holding the Bonds not in connection with an entrepreneurial activity, (ii) non-commercial partnerships (società semplice) and (iii) non-profit organisations, the Italian State and public entities or entities that are exempt from IRES.
For the purposes of determining the taxable capital gain, any Interest on the Bonds accrued and unpaid up to the time of the purchase and the sale of the Bonds must be deducted from the purchase price and the sale price, respectively.
With regard to the CGT application, Bondholders under (i) to (iii) above may opt for one of the three regimes described below:
Under the tax declaration regime (regime della dichiarazione), which is the default regime for Italian resident Bondholders under (i) to (iii) above not engaged in an entrepreneurial activity, the CGT on capital gains will be chargeable, on a yearly cumulative basis, on all capital gains, net of any incurred capital loss, realised by the Italian resident individual holding the Bonds not in connection with an entrepreneurial activity pursuant to all sales or redemptions of the Bonds carried out during any given tax year. Italian relevant Bondholders under (i) to (iii) above must indicate the overall capital gains realised in any tax year, net of any relevant incurred capital loss, in the annual tax return and pay CGT on such gains together with any balance income tax due for such year. Capital losses in excess of capital gains may be carried forward and set-off against capital gains realised in any of the four succeeding tax years;
(b) "Non-discretionary investments" regime (Risparmio Amministrato)
As an alternative to the tax declaration regime, the Italian resident Bondholders under (i) to (iii) above holding the Bond not in connection with an entrepreneurial activity may elect to pay the CGT separately on capital gains realised on each sale or transfer of the Bonds. Such separate taxation of capital gains is allowed subject to (i) the Bonds being deposited with Italian banks, SIMs or other authorised intermediaries (or permanent establishments in Italy of foreign intermediaries) and (ii) an express election for the Risparmio Amministrato regime being made in writing by the relevant Bondholder. The Risparmio Amministrato lasts for the entire fiscal year and unless revoked prior to the end of such year will be deemed valid also for the subsequent one. The intermediary is responsible for accounting for the CGT in respect of capital gains realised on each sale or transfer of the Bonds, as well as in respect of capital gains realised at the revocation of its mandate. Where a particular sale or transfer of the Bonds results in a net loss, the intermediary is entitled to deduct such loss from gains subsequently realised on assets held by the Bondholder with the same intermediary and within the same deposit relationship, in the same fiscal year or in the following fiscal years up to the fourth following fiscal year. The Bondholder is not required to declare the gains in his annual income tax return; and
If the Bonds are part of a portfolio managed by an Italian asset management company, capital gains are not subject to the CGT, but contribute to determine the annual net accrued result of the portfolio. Such annual net accrued result of the portfolio, even if not realised, is subject to an ad-hoc 26% substitutive tax, which the asset management company is required to levy on behalf of the Bondholder. Any losses of the investments accrued at year end may be carried forward against net profits accrued in each of the following fiscal years, up to the fourth following fiscal year. Under such regime the Bondholder is not required to declare the capital gains or losses realized in his annual income tax return.
Subject to certain limitations and requirements (including a minimum holding period) and several limitations (including amount and composition of the capital investment), Italian resident individuals not engaged in an entrepreneurial activity to which the Bonds are connected or social security entities pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 509 of 30 June 1994 and Legislative Decree No. 103 of 10 February 1996 may be exempt from Italian capital gain taxes, including the CGT, on capital gains realised upon sale or redemption of the Bonds if the Bonds are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth from time to time under Italian law.
The CGT does not apply to the following subjects:
Capital gains realised on the Bonds by Italian resident corporate entities (including a permanent establishment in Italy of a foreign entity to which the Bonds are effectively connected) form part of their aggregate income subject to IRES, at the rates specified above. In certain cases, capital gains may also to be included in the taxable net value of production of such entities for IRAP purposes, at the rates specified above. The capital gains are calculated as the difference between the sale price and the relevant tax basis of the Bonds. Upon fulfilment of certain conditions, the gains may be taxed in equal instalments over up to five fiscal years.
(B) Funds
Capital gains realised by the Funds on the Bonds are subject neither to CGT nor to any other income tax in the hands of the Funds (see Interest on the Bonds – Italian Resident Bondholders, above).
Capital gains realised by Pension Funds on the Bonds contribute to determine their annual net accrued result, which is generally subject to a 20% substitutive tax (see Interest on the Bonds – Italian Resident Bondholders, above). Subject to certain conditions (including minimum holding period requirement) and limitations, Interest relating to the Bonds may be excluded from the taxable base of the 20% substitute tax if the Bonds are included in a long-term savings account (piano individuale di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth from time to time under Italian law.
Capital gains realised by Real Estate Investment Funds and by SICAFs to which the provisions of Article 9 of Legislative Decree No. 44 of 4 March 2014 apply on the Bonds are not taxable at the level of same Real Estate Investment Funds (see Interest on the Bonds – Italian Resident Bondholders, above).
Capital gains realised by non-Italian resident Bondholders (not having a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Bonds are effectively connected) on the disposal of Bonds are not subject to tax in Italy, regardless of whether the Bonds are held in Italy, subject to the condition that the Bonds are listed and traded in a regulated market in Italy or abroad (according to the meaning identified by the Italian tax authorities in Circular Letter No. 32/E of 23 December 2020).
Should the Bonds not be listed in a regulated market as indicated above, the aforesaid capital gains would be subject to the 26% CGT in Italy, if the Bonds are held by the non-resident Bondholder in Italy. Pursuant to Article 5 of Decree 461, an exemption from the CGT, however, would apply with respect to certain beneficial owners of the Bonds resident outside of Italy, not having a permanent establishment in Italy to which Bonds are effectively connected. In particular, pursuant to Article 5 of Decree 461, the aforesaid CGT exemption applies to capital gains realised by any beneficial owner who: (i) is resident, for tax purposes, in a White List Country; or (ii) is an international body or entity set up in accordance with international agreements which have entered into force in the Republic of Italy; or (iii) is a central bank or an entity which manages, inter alia, the official reserves of a foreign State; or (iv) is an "institutional investor", whether or not subject to tax, that is established in a White List Country, even if it does not possess the status of a taxpayer in its own country of establishment.
If none of the above-mentioned conditions are met, capital gains realized by non-Italian Resident Bondholders without a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Bonds are effectively connected, on Bonds, not traded on a regulated market and held in Italy, may be subject to the CGT at the rate of 26%. However, non-Italian resident Bondholders without a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Bonds are effectively connected that may benefit from a tax treaty with Italy providing that capital gains realised upon sale or transfer of Bonds are taxed only in the country of tax residence of the recipient, will not be subject to tax in Italy on any capital gains realised upon any such sale or transfer, subject to satisfying certain conditions.
Pursuant to Law Decree No. 262 of 3 October 2006, converted into Law No. 286 of 24 November 2006, as subsequently amended, inheritance and gift taxes have been re-introduced in Italy, with effect as of 3 October 2006.
Inheritance and gift taxes apply on the overall net value of the relevant transferred assets, at the following rates, depending on the relationship between the testate (or donor) and the beneficiary (or donee):
(d) 8% if the beneficiary is a person, other than those mentioned under (a), (b) and (c), above.
In case the beneficiary has a serious disability recognised by law, inheritance and gift taxes apply on its portion of the net asset value exceeding €1,500,000.
The mortis causa transfer of financial instruments included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) – that meets all the requirements set forth from time to time under Italian law.
Moreover, an anti avoidance rule is provided for by Italian Law No. 383/2001 for any gift of assets (such as the Bonds) which, if sold for consideration, would give rise to capital gains to the imposta sostitutiva provided for by Decree 461. In particular, if the donee sells the Bonds for consideration within five years from the receipt thereof as a gift, the donee is required to pay the relevant imposta sostitutiva on capital gains as if the gift was not made.
With respect to Bonds listed on a regulated market, the value for inheritance tax and gift tax purposes is the average stock exchange price of the last quarter preceding the date of the succession or of the gift (including any accrued interest). With respect to unlisted Bonds, the value for inheritance tax and gift tax purposes is generally determined by reference to the value of listed debt securities having similar features or based on certain elements as presented in the Italian tax law.
Italian inheritance tax and gift tax apply in case the deceased person, or the donor is a non Italian resident individual for bonds issued by Italian resident companies.
As of 1 January 2025, inheritance and gift tax are subject to the new provisions of the Legislative Decree no. 139 of 18 September 2024, which are, though, not foreseen to have impacts on the above-described provisions.
The Law Decree No. 201 of 6 December 2011 ("Decree 201"), converted into law with amendments by Law No. 213 of 22 December 2011, has replaced paragraphs 2-bis and 2-ter and related notes (3-bis and 3-ter) of Article 13, Tariff annexed to stamp duty law approved with Presidential Decree No. 642 of 26 October 1972.
Pursuant to Decree 201, a proportional Italian stamp duty applies on an annual basis to any periodical reporting communications which may be sent by an Italian based financial intermediary to a Bondholder in respect of any Bonds which may be deposited with such financial intermediary. The stamp duty applies, on a yearly basis, at a rate of 0.2%; this stamp duty is determined on the basis of the market value or – if no market value figure is available – the nominal value or redemption amount of the Bonds held. The stamp duty cannot exceed €14,000, for taxpayers other than individuals. Based on the wording of the law and the implementing decree issued by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance on 24 May 2012, the stamp duty applies to any investor who is a client (as defined in the Provision of the Governor of Bank of Italy of 20 June 2012, as subsequently amended and supplemented) of an entity that exercises in any form a banking, financial or insurance activity within the Italian territory.
Periodical communications to clients are presumed to be sent at least once a year, even though the intermediary is not required to send the communication. In this case, the stamp duty is to be applied on 31 December of each year or in any case at the end of the relationship with the client. The stamp duty applies both to Italian resident Bondholders and to non-Italian resident Bondholders, to the extent that the Bonds are held with an Italian based financial intermediary (and not directly held by the Bondholders outside Italy), in which case wealth tax (see "—Wealth Tax on securities deposited abroad (IVAFE)") applies to Italian resident Bondholders only.
Pursuant to Article 19, paragraphs 18-23, of Decree 201, Italian resident individuals, non commercial entities, including trusts and foundations, and so-called società semplici (and similar partnerships pursuant to Article 5 of Decree No. 917) holding the Bonds outside the Italian territory without the involvment of an Italian financial intermediary are required to pay a wealth tax currently at a rate of 0.2%, which has been increased to 0.4% for financial assets held in Counties or territories listed in the so-called "black list" provided by Ministerial Decree of the Minister of Economy and Finance of May 4, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the level of tax being determined in proportion to the period of ownership).
This tax is calculated on the fair market value of the Bonds at the end of the relevant year or – if no fair market value figure is available – on the nominal value or on the redemption value of such financial assets held outside the Italian territory. Taxpayers are entitled to an Italian tax credit equivalent to the amount of wealth taxes paid in the State where the financial assets are held (up to an amount equal to the Italian wealth tax due), to the extent that the foreign taxes have been legitimately levied under the applicable tax treaties. The wealth tax cannot exceed €14,000 per year for taxpayers different from individuals. Financial assets (including the Bonds) held abroad are excluded from the scope of the wealth tax if they are administered by Italian financial intermediaries pursuant to an administration agreement and the items of income derived from such instruments have been subject to tax by the same intermediaries. In this case, the below mentioned stamp duty provided for by Article 13(2-ter) of the Tariff attached to Presidential Decree No. 642 of 26 October 1972 does apply.
Pursuant to Article 11 of the Tariff (Part I) attached to Presidential Decree No. 131 of 26 April 1986 and Article 2 of the same Tariff (Part II), contracts relating to the transfer of the Bonds are subject to the registration tax as follows: (i) public deeds and notarised deeds (atti pubblici e scritture private autenticate) executed in Italy should be subject to a fixed registration tax (€200); (ii) private deeds (scritture private non autenticate) should be subject to registration tax only in "case of use" or voluntary registration at a fixed amount (€200).
Pursuant to Law Decree No. 167 of 28 June 1990, converted by Law No. 227 of 4 August 1990, as amended by Law No. 97 of 6 August 2013 and by Law No. 50 of 28 March 2014, individuals, non-profit entities and certain noncommercial partnerships (società semplici or similar partnerships in accordance with Article 5 of Decree No. 917), resident in Italy for tax purposes who, at the end of the fiscal year, hold investments abroad or have financial activities abroad must, in certain circumstances, disclose the aforesaid and related transactions to the Italian tax authorities in their income tax return (or, in case the income tax return is not due, in a proper form that must be filed within the same time as prescribed for the income tax return).
The requirement also applies where the persons abovementioned, being not the direct holders of the financial instruments, are the actual beneficial owners of the instruments for anti-money laundering purposes. Furthermore, the abovementioned reporting requirement is not required to comply with respect to Bonds deposited for management or administration with qualified Italian financial intermediaries, with respect to contracts entered into through their intervention, on the condition that the items of income derived from the Bonds have been subject to tax by the same intermediaries.
The EU Savings Directive adopted on June 3, 2003, by the EU Council of Economic and Finance Ministers (as subsequently amended) on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments has been repealed from January 1, 2016 to prevent overlap between the Savings Directive and the new automatic exchange of information regime implemented under Council Directive 2011/16/EU on Administrative Cooperation in the field of Taxation (as amended by Council Directive 2014/107/EU).
Drawing extensively on the intergovernmental approach to implementing the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the OECD developed the Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") to address the issue of offshore tax evasion on a global basis. Aimed at maximizing efficiency and reducing cost for financial institutions, the CRS provides a common standard for due diligence, reporting and exchange of financial account information. Pursuant to the CRS, participating jurisdictions will obtain from reporting financial institutions, and automatically exchange with exchange partners on an annual basis, financial information with respect to all reportable accounts identified by financial institutions on the basis of common due diligence and reporting procedures. The first information exchanges are expected to begin in 2017.
Italy has enacted Italian Law No. 95 of June 18, 2015 ("Law 95/2015"), implementing the CRS and the amended EU Directive on Administrative Cooperation, which provides for the exchange of information in relation to the calendar year 2016 and later. Law 95/2015 has been implemented by the Italian Ministerial Decree dated December 28, 2015 which has been recently amended by the Italian Ministerial Decree dated 20 June 2019 and published in the Official Gazette on 9 July 2019.
In the event that holders of the Bonds hold the Bonds through an Italian financial institution (as meant in the Italian Ministerial Decree dated 20 June 2019), they may be required to provide additional information to such financial institution to enable it to satisfy its obligations under the Italian implementation of the CRS.
On 14 February 2014, the European Commission published a proposal (the "Commission's Proposal") for a Directive for a common EU FTT in Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia (the "Participating Member States"). However, Estonia has since stated that it will not participate. The Commission's Proposal is still pending before the Council of the EU and its status is regularly discussed at the European and Financial Affairs Council. In the course of 2020, the European Commission brought to the attention of the Council of the EU and the EU Parliament the possibility to propose, by June 2024, the introduction of a reshaped EU FTT as a new EU own resource.
The Commission's Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced, apply to certain dealings in the Bonds (including secondary market transactions) in certain circumstances.
Under the Commission's Proposal the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within and outside of the participating Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in the Bonds where at least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a participating Member State. A financial institution may be, or be deemed to be, "established" in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including (a) by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State or (b) where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State.
However, the Commission's Proposal remains subject to negotiation between participating Member States. It may therefore be altered prior to any implementation, the timing of which remains unclear. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate and/or other Participating Member States may decide to withdraw. If the Commission's Proposal or any similar tax were adopted, transactions in the Bonds could be subject to higher costs and the liquidity of the market for the Bonds may be diminished.
Prospective holders of the Bonds are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT.
In connection with the Offering, Equita SIM S.p.A., having its registered address in Via Filippo Turati 9, 20121 Milan, Italy, as placement agent (the "Placement Agent") and Banca Akros S.p.A., having its registered address in Viale Eginardo, 29, 20149 Milan, Italy (the "Joint Bookrunner" and, together with the Placement Agent, the "Joint Bookrunners") have each, according to Article 2.4.3 of the trading rules of Borsa Italiana, been appointed pursuant to a placement agreement (the "Placement Agreement") by the Issuer to offer and display the New Bonds for sale on the MOT. Under the Placement Agreement, each Joint Bookrunner considers its respective clients to be each of the Issuer and potential investors in the New Bonds. The Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates have provided from time to time, and expect to provide in the future, investment services to the Issuer, or its affiliates, for which the Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates have received or will receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Issuer or its affiliates. Typically, the Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates would hedge and do hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in securities, including potentially the New Bonds. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the New Bonds. The Joint Bookrunners and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. There are no interests of natural and legal persons other than the Issuer and the Joint Bookrunners involved in the issue of the New Bonds, including conflicting ones that are material to the issue.
The Issuer is offering for subscription and trading on the MOT of €110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Bonds (the "Offer Amount"). The Offer Amount may be reduced by the Issuer at any time prior to the second business day on which Borsa Italiana S.p.A. is open ("Open Market Day") preceding the Launch Date at 16:00 (CET). If the Offer Amount is reduced below €110,000,000 the Issuer will publish a notice specifying the revised Offer Amount on the Issuer's Website and the Euronext Dublin Website, and released through the Issuer's account for the dissemination and storage of regulated information system ("Issuer's SDIR Account"). Moreover, in such a case a supplement to this Prospectus will be published by the Issuer in accordance with Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation.
The New Bonds will be issued at a maximum price of 102.50 per cent. of their principal amount (the "Maximum New Bonds Issue Price"). The final issue price for the New Bonds (the "New Bonds Issue Price") will be set out in a notice, which will be filed with the Central Bank of Ireland and published on https://www.tipspa.it/en/, https://live.euronext.com/ and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account prior to the start of the Offering Period.
In the course of the Bookbuilding Procedure, the Joint Bookrunners will accept within a limited period of time indications of interest in subscribing for the New Bonds from investors, including credit spreads usually within a predetermined spread range. Subsequently, the Joint Bookrunners will determine, in consultation with the Issuer based on, among other things, the quantity and quality of the expressions of interest received from Investors during the Bookbuilding Procedure, the issue price and the final yield. The issue price of the New Bonds (which shall not be more than the Maximum New Bonds Issue Price), the yield and the maximum prices will be set out in the Issue Price and Yield, which will be filed with the Central Bank of Ireland, published on the Issuer's Website (https://www.tipspa.it/en/) and the Euronext Dublin Website (https://live.euronext.com/) and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account prior to the start of the Offering Period.
The aggregate principal amount of the New Bonds, the number of New Bonds sold and the proceeds of the Offering will be set out in the Offering Results Notice which will be filed with the Central Bank of Ireland, published on the Issuer's Website (https://www.tipspa.it/en/) and the Euronext Dublin Website (https://live.euronext.com/) and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account no later than the second business day prior to the Issue Date. No trading in the New Bonds will start before the Offering Results Notice is published.
The Offering is not subject to any conditions.
Subscription rights for the New Bonds will not be issued. Therefore, there are no procedures in place for the exercise of any right of pre-emption, the negotiability of subscription rights and the treatment of subscription rights not exercised.
The Offering will open on 9 June 2025 at 09:00 (CET) (the "Launch Date") and will expire on 13 June 2025 at 17:30 (CET) (the "Offering Period End Date"), subject to amendment, extension or postponement by the Issuer and the Joint Bookrunners (the "Offering Period").
Investors will be required to remit payment in exchange for the issuance of the New Bonds for which they have placed offers to purchase the New Bonds ("Purchase Offers") on the Issue Date, which will initially be 20 June 2025. In the case of an extension of the Offering Period, the Issue Date will be the fifth business day following the closure of the Offering Period. Notwithstanding any early closure of the Offering, the New Bonds will be issued on the New Issue Date (20 June 2025).
The Offering Period is an approximate period and has been determined by the Issuer. The Issuer expressly reserves the right to postpone or extend the Offering Period or modify the Launch Date and/or the Offering Period End Date in agreement with the Joint Bookrunners by giving due notice to the Central Bank of Ireland and Borsa Italiana through the publication of a supplement to this Prospectus (a "Supplement") (as such postponement or extension will be a significant new factor, as defined in Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation) and, by way of a notice published on the Issuer's Website and the Euronext Dublin Website, and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account, to the general public. Any notice of postponement or modification of the Offering Period will be given no later than the second Open Market Day prior to the Launch Date. If, following the Launch Date and before the Offering Period End Date, the New Bonds have not been placed for an amount equal to the Offer Amount because of market conditions and the Issuer decides to extend the Offering Period in agreement with the Joint Bookrunners, a notice of extension of the Offering Period will be published before the last day of the Offering Period.
If, during the Offering Period, Purchase Offers exceed the Offer Amount, the Joint Bookrunners, in agreement with the Issuer, will close the Offering prior to the expiration of the Offering Period, and no Purchase Offers in excess of the Offer Amount will be executed. The Issuer will promptly communicate an early closure of the Offering Period to the Central Bank of Ireland, Borsa Italiana, the Fiscal Agent and, by way of a notice published on the Issuer's Website, the general public.
The Issuer and the Joint Bookrunners expressly reserve the right to withdraw the Offering at any time prior to 17:30 (CET) on the Offering Period End Date, including if Purchase Offers are lower than the Offer Amount. The Issuer will promptly communicate a withdrawal of the Offering to the Central Bank of Ireland, Borsa Italiana and the Fiscal Agent, first, and, subsequently, to the general public, by way of a specific notice published on the Issuer's Website and the Euronext Dublin Website, and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account.
The Placement Agent (on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners), in agreement with the Issuer, expressly reserve the right to cancel the launch of the Offering at any time between the date of this Prospectus and the Launch Date or to withdraw the Offering at any time after the Launch Date and before 17:30 (CET) on the Offering Period End Date in the case of (i) any extraordinary change in the political, financial, economic, regulatory, currency or market situation of the markets in which the Group operates which could have a materially adverse effect on the Offering, or the economic, financial and/or operating condition of the Issuer and/or the Group or on their business activities, or (ii) any act, fact, circumstance, event, opposition or any other extraordinary situation which has not yet occurred at the date of this Prospectus which may have a materially adverse effect on the Offering, or the economic, financial and/or operating condition of the Issuer and/or the Group or on their business activities. If the launch of the Offering is cancelled or the Offering is withdrawn, the Offering itself and all submitted Purchase Offers will be deemed cancelled. Prompt notice of any decision to cancel the launch of the Offering or withdraw the Offering after the Launch Date will be communicated to the Central Bank of Ireland, Borsa Italiana and the Fiscal Agent and, by way of a notice published on the Issuer's Website, and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account, to the general public.
If, prior to the Issue Date, Borsa Italiana has failed to set the start date of official trading of the New Bonds on the MOT (the "MOT Trading Start Date"), the Offering will be automatically withdrawn by giving notice to Central Bank of Ireland and the Fiscal Agent and, no later than the day after notice has been given to Central Bank of Ireland, by notifying the general public by way of a notice published on the Issuer's Website and the Euronext Dublin Website, and released through the Issuer's SDIR Account.
The Offering will occur prior to the start date of the official admission to trading on Euronext Dublin and on the MOT. The Offering will take place on the MOT electronic platform through the distribution of the New Bonds by the Joint Bookrunners to the Intermediaries (as defined below) and subsequent Purchase Offers made by Investors through Intermediaries (as defined below) and coordinated by the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners have been appointed by the Issuer to offer and display the New Bonds for sale on the MOT according to the trading rules of Borsa Italiana. Purchase Offers may only be made with the MOT through an investment company, bank, wealth management firm, registered financial intermediary, securities house and any other intermediary authorised to make Purchase Offers directly on the MOT or - if such institution is not qualified to perform transactions on the MOT - through an intermediary or agent authorised to do so (each an "Intermediary"). Purchase Offers must be made during the operating hours of the MOT for a minimum quantity of aggregate par value of €1,000 of the New Bonds, and may be made for any multiple thereof.
During the Offering Period, Intermediaries may make irrevocable Purchase Offers directly or through any agent authorised to operate on the MOT, either on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, in compliance with the operational rules of the MOT.
The New Bonds shall be assigned, up to their maximum availability, based on the chronological order in which Purchase Offers are made on the MOT. The acceptance of a Purchase Offer on the MOT does not alone constitute the completion of a contract with respect to the New Bonds requested thereby. The perfection and effectiveness of contracts with respect to the New Bonds are subject to confirmation of the correct execution of the Purchase Offer and issuance of the New Bonds. Each Intermediary through whom a Purchase Offer is made will notify Investors of the number of New Bonds they have been assigned within the Issue Date.
After the end of the Offering Period, Euronext Dublin, in conjunction with the Issuer, shall set and give notice of the start date of the official admission to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Dublin and Borsa Italiana shall set and give notice to the MOT Trading Start Date. The MOT Trading Start Date shall correspond to the Issue Date.
Investors wishing to make Purchase Offers who do not have a relationship with any Intermediary may be requested to open an account or make a temporary deposit for an amount equivalent to that of the Purchase Offer. In case of partial sale of the New Bonds or a cancellation or withdrawal of the Offering, all amounts paid as temporary deposits, or any difference between the amount deposited with the Intermediary and the aggregate value of the New Bonds actually sold to the Investor, will be repaid to the Investor who initiated the Purchase Offer by the Issue Date. See "Terms and Conditions of the Payment and Delivery of the New Bonds".
Except as otherwise set forth herein, Purchase Offers, once placed, may not be revoked. See "—Revocation of Purchase Offers".
Any Purchase Offer received outside the Offering Period, or within the Offering Period but outside the operating hours of the MOT, will not be accepted. Investors may place multiple Purchase Offers. Purchase Offers placed by Italian Investors through telecommunication means are not subject to the existing withdrawal provisions applicable to distance marketing of consumer financial services, services in accordance with articles 67-bis and 67-duodecies of Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005 as regards the public offer in Italy.
If the Issuer publishes any Supplement, any Investor who has placed a Purchase Offer prior to the publication of the Supplement shall be entitled to revoke such Purchase Offer by delivering a written notice to the Intermediary through whom the Purchase Offer was made by no later than the second business day following the publishing of the Supplement in accordance with Article 23(2) of the Prospectus Regulation. The Intermediary will in turn notify the Joint Bookrunners of such revocation.
Investors will pay the New Bonds Issue Price to the Intermediaries through whom they have placed Purchase Offers on the Issue Date.
A press release will be published to inform Investors and potential Investors of any early closure of the Offering or extension of the Offering Period. In case of an extension of the Offering Period the Issue Date will be postponed to the fifth Business Day following the closure of the Offering Period, as extended. In case of an early closure of the Offering Period, the Issue Date will remain unchanged and the New Bonds will be issued on 20 June 2025. For more information about the circumstances in which the Offering Period may be closed early or extended, see "Offering Period, Early Closure, Extension and Withdrawal" above.

Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will hold interests in the New Bonds on behalf of their participants through customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories. Payments and transfers of the New Bonds will be settled through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
None of the Issuer, the Agents or any of their respective agents will have any responsibility, or be liable, for any aspect of the records relating to the ownership of interests in the New Bonds.
The Issuer will not charge any costs, expenses or taxes directly to any Investor. Investors must, however, inform themselves about any costs, expenses or taxes in connection with the New Bonds which are generally applicable in their respective country of residence related to the opening of a bank account or a temporary deposit account with an Intermediary, if necessary, and/or any costs related to the execution, acceptance and transmission of Purchase Offers imposed by such Intermediaries. See "Technical Details of the Offering on the MOT".
