3. APPOINTMENT OF TWO BOARD MEMBERS AFTER RESIGNATION AND CO-OPTATION – ART. 2386 CIVIL CODE;

Dear Shareholders,

The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called for 24 April 2018 has also been called to resolve on the appointment of two directors, who will replace the outgoing Directors, Mr Gabriele Del Torchio and Mr Arturo Albano.

The current Board of Directors has been appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2016 and will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2018. As a result of the resignation of Directors Arturo Albano and Gabriele Del Torchio, the Board has been re-integrated by co-opting Directors Domenico Livio Trombone and Livio Fenati – respectively on 30 October 2017 and 29 January 2018. At the date of preparation of this report, the Board included the following:

First and last Executive /Non
name Title Place and date of birth executive director
Enrico Chairman Bologna, 17 July 1958 Non-executive
Postacchini
Nazareno Managing Rome, 13 June 1966 Executive
Ventola Director
Giada Grandi Member Bologna, 20 October 1960 Non-executive
Giorgio Tabellini Member San Giovanni in Persiceto Non-executive
(BO), 31 January 1944
Sonia Bonfiglioli Member Bologna, 25 November 1963 Non-executive and
independent
Luca Member Bologna, 14 November 1975 Non-executive and
Mantecchini independent
Livio Fenati Member Rome, 6 February 1970 Non-executive and
independent
Domenico Livio Member Potenza, 31 August 1960 Non-executive and
Trombone independent
Laura Pascotto Member Cosenza, 4 July 1972 Non-executive and
independent

The Board has verified that the co-opted Directors, Domenico Livio Trombone and Livio Fenati, meet the honourableness requirements and that there are no causes of incompatibility and ineligibility, as well as meeting the independence requirements specified by Art. 147-ter, Par. 4, of the Consolidated Finance Law and by the corporate Governance Code at the time of the resolutions on their appointment.

Pursuant to the provisions of Art. 2386, Par. 3 of the Civil Code and Art. 13.2 of the Articles of Association, the directors appointed by co-optation will remain in office until the next meeting, which will resolve on the appointment with the procedures specified.

We note that the outgoing Directors, Mr Gabriele Del Torchio and Mr Arturo Albano, had been appointed on 27 April 2016 with a list voting mechanism, at the time of the reappointment of the Board, and that, in particular, they had been taken from the single minority list presented.

The Articles of Association provide for the outgoing directors originally taken from minority lists to be replaced by new Directors from the same lists, so as to maintain in the Board the ratio between directors chosen by the majority and those chosen by minorities. The

list voting mechanisms currently specified in the Articles of Association provide, in fact, for three directors out of nine to be chosen by the minority. At the time of the re-appointment of the Board, a single minority list was presented, with only three candidates, who were then elected. Following the resignation of two directors chosen by the minority, it has not therefore been possible to take additional names of directors to be co-opted from the minority list, since no additional candidates had been originally indicated besides those then elected. As notified to Consob and to the market pursuant to the law, in 2017 there was also a change in the minority shareholders, which no longer are those that had presented the minority list at the time of the re-appointment of the Board.

Given this situation, to ensure the respect in the substance, [and] as far as possible, the spirit of the Articles of Association, the Board has co-opted, in addition to the director Domenico Livio Trombone, a director chosen by the new minority shareholders, Livio Fenati.

In the light of the events and the considerations above, the Board proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting to confirm these Directors as members of the current Board of Directors, until the natural expiration of the term of this.

We therefore submit to your approval the following resolution:

"The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A., after hearing the presentation of the Chairman,

resolves

To appoint, in replacement of the outgoing Directors, Mr Gabriele Del Torchio and Mr Arturo Albano:

- Domenico Livio Trombone, born in Potenza on 31 August 1960,

- Livio Fenati, born in Rome on 6 February 1970,

resident for the purposes of the office at the registered office of the Company in Bologna, Via Triumvirato 84,

who will remain in office until the natural expiration of the term of the Board, and more precisely, until the Shareholders' Meeting to be called to approve the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2018."

4. APPROVAL OF THE GROUP REMUNERATION POLICY.

Dear Shareholders,

You are called to resolve, pursuant to Art. 123-ter Par. 6, Consolidated Finance Law on the section of the Remuneration Report specified in Art. 123-ter, Par. 3, Consolidated Finance Law, that is, the section concerning the remuneration policy adopted by the company for the members of the corporate bodies, the general managers and the key executives, as well as the procedures used for the adoption and implementation of this policy.

The Remuneration Report of the AdB group required by Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law, which contains the corresponding policy and procedures for its adoption and implementation, will be available as specified by legal and regulatory provisions.

In the light of the above, we submit therefore to the Shareholders' Meeting the following draft resolution on the fifth item on the Agenda, ordinary section:

"The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A., after reviewing the report of the Chairman and the documentation submitted,

Resolves

to approve, pursuant to Art. 123-ter, Par. 6, of Leg. Decree 58/98, the section of the Remuneration Report indicated in Art. 123-ter, Par. 3 of Leg. Decree 58/98."

Bologna, 15 March 2018

The Chairman of the Board of Directors

Enrico Postacchini
