Dear Shareholders,
you have been convened to the Shareholders' Meeting of Avio S.p.A. ("Avio" or the "Company") to discuss and resolve on the proposal to grant to the Board of Directors the power, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, to increase the share capital against payment and in divisible form, on one or more tranches, within the limits of 10% of the existing share capital, excluding option right pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 4, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code, as referred to in item 2 of the agenda (the "Renewed Delegated Power").
This Explanatory Report (the "Report") has been prepared pursuant to Article 125ter of the CFL and Article 72 of the Issuers' Regulation, as well as for the purposes of Article 2441, fourth paragraph, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code, in order to illustrate the proposal to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Avio regarding the Renewed Delegated Power.
Pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, the By-Laws may grant directors the power to increase the share capital on one or more tranches up to a fixed amount and for a maximum period of five years. This power may include resolutions pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 4, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code.
In compliance with current Article 5 of the By-Laws, the Board of Directors was granted - pursuant to Article 2443, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code - for the maximum period of five years from the date of registration of the By-Laws with the Companies' Register which occurred in April 2017, "the power to increase the share capital with payment, separable and with exclusion of subscription right, in accordance with Article 2441, fourth paragraph, Italian Civil Code, by a maximum nominal amount of Euro 9,076,167, by issue once or twice of a maximum number of ordinary shares, preferred or having different rights than those of shares issued before or shares and financial instruments provided by Article 2349 Italian Civil Code, equal to 2,316,391, with regular enjoyment, reserved (i) in the event of hostile public offering of purchase or carried out by competitors of the Company, solely to persons directly or indirected invested by the government of Italy of at least 20% of the share capital, or (ii) in other cases, to persons found by the Board of Directors, with the vote in favour of at least all directors in office except one. The unit price of such shares (including any additional paid-in capital) shall be less than the market value of the shares. The resolutions of the Board of Directors to exercise the power shall identify the persons to be assigned the options for subscription of the share capital increase(s), and fix the subscription price based on the market value of the shares and a suitable deadline for subscription of the shares and, pursuant to Art. 2439, second paragraph, Italian Civil Code, if the resolved increase is not subscribed by the deadline fixed each time, shall provide for the capital to be increased by an amount (excluding any additional paid-in capital) equal to the subscriptions collected up until such deadline".
The Board has not implemented this delegated power, which has expired on the date hereof.
For the reasons and objectives described in more detail below, it is proposed to grant the Renewed Delegated Power, to be exercised by October 23, 2030, to increase the share capital, against payment and in divisible form and with the exclusion of option right, pursuant to Article 2441, fourth paragraph, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code, through the issuance, on one or more tranches and also to service warrants, of ordinary shares, with the same characteristics as the ordinary shares outstanding on the issuance date and to be admitted to trading on the Euronext Milan regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., within the limits of 10% of the share capital existing on the date of exercise of the delegated power (excluding any share premium) and within the limits of 10% of the total number of shares of the Company existing on the

date of exercise of the delegated power, reserved: (i) in the event of hostile public offering of purchase or carried out by competitors of the Company, solely to persons directly or indirected invested by the Italian State for an amount at least equal to 20% of the share capital, or (ii) to financial investors and/or industrial partners and/or entities that carry out activities that are similar, related, synergistic and/or instrumental to those of the Company and/or having a similar or related purpose to that one of the Company, identified by the Board of Directors, with the favourable vote of at least all but one of the Directors in office, or also (iii) for retention or share incentive purposes in the context of the Group and in compliance with current regulations on the remuneration of members of the administrative body and executives with strategic responsibilities.
The Renewed Delegated Power aims granting the Board of Directors with a suitable tool to complete share capital transactions with the necessary timing and flexibility, in order to promptly seize any opportunities that may arise and, at the same time, obtain the advantages in terms of rapidity of execution and optimization of results. This consents the possibility of avoiding the time and costs that would otherwise be incurred by the company if it were necessary to call a shareholders' meeting for each transaction.
The Renewed Delegated Power – in accordance with the provisions of Articles 2443 and 2441, fourth paragraph, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code – would allow the Board of Directors to take advantage, at the appropriate time, of the most favorable market conditions for carrying out any extraordinary transactions, taking into account the uncertainty and volatility typical of financial markets. In this context, the Renewed Delegated Power would have the further advantage of allowing the Board itself to establish the conditions of the capital increase – including the maximum number of new shares to be issued and the related subscription price – based on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the effective launch of the transaction. This would mitigate, among other things, the risk of fluctuations stock market rates between the time of announcement and the time of the transaction, which would arise if these matters were decided by the shareholders' meeting.
The reasons for the exclusion of the option right are to provide the Board of Directors with a tool to carry out, with the utmost timeliness and flexibility, transactions on the share capital aimed at raising new financial resources through investment in the capital of financial investors or strategic industrial partners of the Company, to share incentive plans in the context of the Group, or aimed at countering any hostile public offering of purchase or carried out by competitors of the Company, it being understood that, pursuant to Article 14.4 of the By-Laws, the completion of such transactions does not require prior authorization by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 104 of the CFL.
For the purposes of the above, it is also worth noting the rapidity with which the Renewed Delegated Power may be activated and become effective, a feature that may enable the Board of Directors to respond promptly and effectively to any opportunities that might arise in the contexts described above. Furthermore, also due to its flexibility, the Renewed Delegated Power would constitute a new potential source of financial resources for the group, which could be activated over the five-year period of its duration to meet any financial needs that may arise.
In view of the above, the reasons underlying the request for the Renewed Delegated Power may be summarized as follows:
i. if the Board of Directors deems it appropriate, in the interests of Avio, to raise financial resources or implement industrial or strategic projects by offering new shares for subscription to (i) financial investors and/or (ii) industrial partners and/or (iii) entities that carry out activities that are similar, related, synergistic and/or instrumental to those of the Company and/or have a similar or related purpose to that of the Company;

Article 2441, paragraph 4, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code also establishes - as a condition for exercising the exclusion of option right within the limits set forth therein - that the issue price must correspond to the market value of the shares and that this must be confirmed in a specific report by an independent auditor or an auditing firm.
On the occasion of each exercise of the Renewed Delegated Power, the aforementioned reports will be acquired by the Company's Board of Directors and - together with the explanatory report of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2441, fourth paragraph, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code and Article 72, paragraphs 1 and 6, of the Issuers' Regulation – made available to the public in the manner and within the terms provided for by the laws and regulations in force and applicable from time to time.
Under the Renewed Delegated Power, the unit price of the newly issued shares (including any share premium) shall not be less than the market value of the shares. The resolutions of the Board of Directors exercising the Renewed Delegated Power shall identify the persons to whom the options for subscribing to the capital increase(s) will be assigned and shall set the subscription price based on the market value of the shares. The exercise of the delegation may also pursue the objective of issuing shares to be used for the conversion of warrants.
It is proposed that the duration of the delegated power will be effective for the five year legal maximum term, starting from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting resolution (and therefore until October 23, 2030), and to establish that it can be exercised on one or more tranches. '
The timing of the exercise of the delegated power, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, as well as the terms of such exercise, will depend on the circumstances and concrete opportunities that arise and will be communicated to the market as soon as they are determined by the Board of Directors.
Below is a comparison of the aforementioned Article 5.4 in the text in force at the date of the Report and in the proposed text. The proposed amendments to the text are shown in bold.
