Method of holding the Shareholder's Meeting

The Company — in accordance with the provisions of Art. 106 of Italian Decree Law no. 18/2020 converted by Italian Law no. 27/2020 and subsequent amendments and additions ("Decree") as most recently extended by Italian Decree Law no. 215 of 30 December 2023 converted with amendments by Italian Law no. 18 of 23 February 2024 — has decided to enforce the requirement that participation in the Shareholders' Meeting by those who are entitled to participate takes place exclusively through the Company's Designated Representative pursuant to Art. 135-undecies of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 ("CLF"). For this purpose, the Company has identified Computershare S.p.A., with registered office in Milan and Via Lorenzo Mascheroni 19 (the "Designated Representative"), with the methods described in the section "Representation in the Shareholders' Meeting".

Without affecting the above, it should be noted that, pursuant to Art. 106, paragraph 2 of Italian Decree, the Directors, Auditors, the Designated Representative itself and the others who are required to attend the Shareholder's Meeting may do so by means of telecommunication that ensure their identification, without it being necessary for the Chairperson, Secretary or Notary to be at the same location.

Right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting: under the terms of Art. 83-sexies of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98 (CLF) and Art. 13 of the Articles of Association, the right to attend the Shareholder's Meeting and to cast votes is attested by a communication to the Company, made by the intermediary, in compliance with the accounting records, on behalf of the individual with voting rights, at the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, that is Wednesday 3 April 2024 (record date). Those who only come into possession of shares after this date will not have the right to attend and vote

in the Shareholders' Meeting and may not therefore issue proxies to the Designated Representative. The intermediary's communication pursuant to the present point must be received by the Company by the end of the third trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (that is Tuesday 9 April 2024). The right to attend and vote if communications are received by the Company after this deadline but before the start of the proceedings for each call of the meeting remains valid.

Representation in the Shareholders' Meeting: Pursuant to Art. 106, paragraph 4 of Italian Decree, participation in the Shareholders' Meeting by those with the right to do so is allowed exclusively by representation, conferring proxy ex Art. 135-undecies of the CLF or proxy ex Art. 135- novies of the CLF upon the Designated Representative Computershare S.p.A., according to the methods described hereafter and without this implying costs for the shareholders.

Proxy pursuant to Art. 135-undecies of the CLF

Shareholders who wish to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting may confer upon the Designated Representative a proxy ex Art. 135-undecies of the CLF – with voting instructions – for all or some of the items on the agenda, using the specific proxy form, also in electronic format, prepared by the Designated Representative itself in agreement with the Company and available on the Company website www.gruppo.acea.it, "Shareholders' Meeting 2024" section, which also contains the link to the procedure for forwarding the proxy electronically.

The proxy form with voting instructions must be sent, following the instructions on the form itself and on the Company website, by the end of the second trading day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting, that is by Wednesday 10 April 2024, for the first call, or Friday 12 April 2024, for the second call, and the proxy may be revoked within the same deadline.

Proxies thus conferred are only effective for the proposals in relation to which voting instructions have been conferred.

Proxy and/or sub-proxy pursuant to Art. 135-novies of the CLF

Alternatively, the Designated Representative may also be conferred proxies and/or sub-proxies pursuant to Art. 135-novies of the CLF, in derogation of Art. 135-undecies, paragraph 4 of the same CLF, following the instructions given on the form available on the Company website www.gruppo.acea.it, in the "Shareholders' Meeting 2024" section. These proxies and sub-proxies must be conferred by 18:00 on Thursday 11 April 2024, for the first call, or no later than 18:00 on Monday 15 April 2024, for the second call.

With the same methods, those with the right to participate may revoke the proxy and/or sub-proxy and the voting instructions conferred within the same deadline. The Designated Representative shall have the right to accept proxies and/or sub-proxies and/or voting instructions after said deadline and until the meeting begins. The Designated Representative can be contacted for clarifications or information by calling +39 0246776814 – 13 or by sending an e-mail to [email protected].

Limitations to voting rights: pursuant to Art. 6 and Art. 13 of the Articles of Association, with the exception of Roma Capitale and its subsidiaries, shareholders which own a stake of more than 8% in the share capital, according to the criteria set forth in points 2 and 3 of Article 6, may not cast votes, not even by proxy, for the number of shares in excess of this limit. The shares for which voting rights cannot be exercised are in any event included in determining the proper constitution of the Shareholder's Meeting.

Share capital: pursuant to Art. 5 of the Articles of Association, the share capital is € 1,098,898,884.00, represented by 212,964,900 ordinary shares with a par value of € 5.16 each. Shares are not divisible and each share gives the right to cast one vote, with the exception of 416,993 treasury shares, for which voting rights

are suspended as per Art. 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code. Information on the composition of the share capital is available on the company's website www.gruppo.acea.it, in the "Ownership" section.

Method of appointing the Director: under the terms of Art. 15.4 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the Director, by a relative majority vote, as far as possible observing the rules in force on independence and gender balance, from the non-elected candidates on the same list as that of the outgoing Director. These candidates must have provided, at least ten days before the date scheduled for the Meeting, written confirmation of their candidature as well as the declarations that no reasons exist for their ineligibility or incompatibility and that they hold the requisites prescribed for the office by the laws in force and the Articles of Association.

The above must be sent to the Issuer by certified e-mail to the address [email protected] by Tuesday 2 April 2024. The candidatures received and the declarations shall be made available on the company's website www.gruppo.acea.it, and at the authorised storage mechanism , at the address , by Wednesday 3 April 2024**.

If this replacement procedure is not possible, a resolution must be passed by a relative majority vote, always observing the representation of the minorities and the minimum number of independent Directors, and observing the legislation in force on gender balance. To this end, shareholders are reminded that those who wish to present candidatures must observe what is provided for in the paragraph "Presentation of resolution proposals by those with voting rights (ex Art. 126-bis, paragraph 1, third sentence, of the CLF)". Please note that resolution proposals must be accompanied by the declarations, made by the candidate, on the nonexistence of reasons for ineligibility or incompatibility, and the existence of the requisites prescribed for the office by the laws in force and the Articles of Association. Please see the Illustrative Report on this point for all further details.

The Director thus appointed shall hold office for a period equal to that of the other Directors.

Questions regarding the items on the agenda: pursuant to Art. 127-ter, paragraph 1-bis of the CLF, those who have the right to vote can ask questions regarding the items on the agenda before the Shareholder's Meeting, ensuring that the questions are received at least seven trading days prior to the Shareholder's Meeting on first call - in other words by Wednesday 3 April 2024 - exclusively by e-mail to the address [email protected].
