In connection with the sixth item on the agenda of the ordinary part of the Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 27 April 2023 at single call, we have convened you to submit for your approval, in accordance with Art. 114 bis of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/98, the share-based compensation plan in favour of Executive Directors, Key Managers and employees of Alkemy S.p.A. (the "Beneficiaries"), called the "2024-2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan" (the "2024-2026 LTIP" or the "Incentive Plan" or the "Plan"), to be implemented by means of the free assignment of ordinary shares in Alkemy S.p.A. (the "Shares"), as well to confer suitable powers on the Board of Directors by which to execute it.

The definitions and description of the Incentive Plan contents are set out in the Information Document, prepared in accordance with Art. 84-bis of the Regulation adopted by Consob with resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended, made available to the public in accordance with the terms and conditions of current legislation.

In compliance with standard practice both nationally and internationally, the Company believes that the Incentive Plan is a tool that can focus the Beneficiaries' attention on strategic objectives for the Company and the Alkemy Group, fostering their loyalty and, at the same time, guaranteeing the alignment of the interests of the shareholders with those of the Beneficiaries, with a view to pursuing the sustainable success of the Company and the continuous increase in value in the medium/long-term.
More specifically, adoption of the Incentive Plan pursues the following ends in the medium/long-term:
The Incentive Option Plan is reserved for Executive directors, Key Managers and employees of the Company and/or Alkemy Group, identified amongst those holding senior positions and/or with strategically relevant duties assigned them within the Company and/or Alkemy Group, with respect to the position respectively held in the Company or Alkemy Group ("Key People").
Subject to Shareholders' Meeting approval of the Plan, the Company's Board of Directors will name the Plan Beneficiaries at its discretion, at any time during the Plan duration.
The Incentive Plan envisages the free assignment to the Beneficiaries indicated in Paragraph 2, following specific resolution by the Company's Board of Directors (after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, where applicable) of the right to receive Shares free of charge, upon achieving specific retention, performance and ESG-related objectives, identified with reference to the Business Plan to be adopted by the Board of Directors.
For all categories of Beneficiaries, the maximum number of Shares that can be obtained over the whole of the Incentive Plan will be made up 85% of Shares whose assignment is subject to achieving the Performance Objective and ESG Objective and 15% of Shares whose assignment is subject to achieving the Retention Objective.
The achievement of the Performance Objective will be verified (i) once a year, whilst the ESG Objectives and Retention Objective will be calculated (ii) at the end of the three years for which the Incentive Plan runs. By the deadline set under point (ii), the assignment of the Shares will be arranged, in full and for all categories of entitled Beneficiaries.
The Incentive Plan will not receive support by the Special Fund for the encouragement of worker participation in businesses, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112 of Italian Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003.
The Plan has different characteristics depending on the category of Beneficiaries, identified taking into account the different relevance of the role played by each Beneficiary, with a view to increasing the Company's and Group's value in the medium/long-term and the strategic relevance impact of the respective position. More specifically, the Basic Number of Shares will be calculated taking into account the market value of the Company's Shares at the Date of Attribution of the Right, so as to assign a Basic Number of Shares that, at that date is worth a figure falling between the following amounts:
• Executive directors: between Euro 100,000 (one hundred thousand) and Euro 200,000 (two hundred thousand) for each Annual Vesting Period;
• Key Managers: between Euro 50,000.00 (fifty thousand) and Euro 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand) for each Annual Vesting Period;
• Key People: between Euro 10,000 (ten thousand) and Euro 75,000.00 (seventy-five thousand) for each Annual Vesting Period;
Assignment of the Shares is subject to achieving the Plan Objectives, as indicated in the Letter of Attribution and the total number of Shares that can be assigned for all categories of Beneficiaries will be correlated 80% to achievement of the Performance Objective, 5% to achievement of the ESG Objective and 15% to achievement of the Retention Objective.
The Shares will be assigned subject to achieving the Plan Objectives, free of charge and the maximum number of Shares that can be obtained, in total, by all beneficiaries during the Plan time-frame, upon achieving 100% of the Plan Objectives, shall not exceed the equivalent value of 1,000,000 (one million).
The Shares assigned under the scope of the Incentive Plan are not subject to availability restrictions.
*.*.*
By virtue of the foregoing, we would therefore propose you pass the following resolution: "The
Shareholders' Meeting of Alkemy S.p.A.,
commitments and formalities and making all communication as may be necessary or appropriate to the management and/or implementation of such plan, with the faculty to delegate the powers, duties and responsibilities in respect of the execution and application of the plan, (iv) define all other terms and conditions and act in any other way, fulfilling all commitments and formalities and/or making all communications necessary or appropriate to the management and/or implementation of the plan;
