The Directors, the Statutory Auditors, the secretary of the meeting and/or notary, the designated representative and the other persons who are allowed to participate in the Meeting pursuant to the applicable law and the Articles of Association - other than the Shareholders who must instead necessarily turn to the designated representative - may participate in the Meeting by using remote connection systems that allow their identification, in compliance with the applicable provisions in

force, according to the methods that will be made known by the Company to the aforementioned persons.
According to art. 12 of the Articles of Association, the persons entitled to vote are entitled to participate in the Meeting and to exercise the right to vote if the Company receives the communications - to be requested by each person entitled to vote from their own depositary intermediary - from the authorized intermediaries on the basis of their accounting records at the end of the accounting day of the seventh open market day preceding the date set for the single-call Meeting (i.e. November 22nd , 2024, the so-called record date).
Any credit or debit entry made on the accounts after this deadline shall not be relevant for the purposes of legitimation to exercise the right to vote in the Meeting; therefore, those who become owners of the Company shares after the record date, will not have the right to participate and vote at the Meeting.
The communication shall be received by the Company by the end of the third trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting at single call (i.e. by November 28th 2024).
The right to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting, however, shall be valid to the extent that the relevant notice is received by the Company after the aforementioned term, but no later than the opening of the Shareholders' Meeting.
In accordance with artt. 12.3 of the Articles of Association and 135-undecies.1 of the CLF, participation in the Meeting is permitted exclusively through the company Monte Titoli S.p.A., with registered office in Milan, Piazza degli Affari n. 6 ("Monte Titoli"), shareholders' representative designated by the Company pursuant to artt. 135-undecies and 135-undecies.1 of the CLF ("Designated Representative").

The proxy to the Designated Representative, with the voting instructions, together with an identity document - and in case the delegator is a legal entity, a document proving the powers to issue the proxy - must be sent to Monte Titoli by the end of the second trading day preceding the date set for the single-call Meeting (i.e. by 11.59 p.m. on November 29th , 2024):

The proxy and voting instructions may be revoked within the same deadline of November 29th, 2024.
The proxy, thus granted, is effective only for the proposals in relation to which voting instructions have been given. It is specified that the shares for which the proxy, even partial, has been granted are counted for the purposes of the calculation of the quorum at the Meeting.
It is also specified that the Designated Representative may also be granted proxies and/or sub-proxies pursuant to art. 135-novies of the CLF, in derogation from art. 135-undecies, paragraph 4, of the CLF, by using the proxy/sub-proxy form, available on the website www.alkemy.com – Corporate Governance section, Shareholders' Meeting.

Slates presenting a number of candidates equal to or greater than 3 (three) must be composed of candidates belonging to both genders, so that at least two fifths of the candidates belong to the less represented gender (rounded up).
The appointment of the office of Director is subject to the requirements established by the legislative and regulatory provisions in force. Directors must meet the requirements established by the legislation in force at the time.
When submitting the slates, the following must also be deposited, without prejudice to the fact that any changes that may occur up until the day of the actual holding of the Meeting must be promptly communicated to the Company:
Slates submitted without complying with the provisions set out in the Articles of Association in this regard will be considered as not having been submitted at all.
The Board of Directors of the Company: (i) has defined the general criteria regarding the limit on the accumulation of administrative and control roles held by the Directors; (ii) has established the qualitative and quantitative criteria to assess the significance of the relevant circumstances for the purposes of assessing the independence of the Directors pursuant to Recommendation no. 7 of the Corporate Governance Code; and (iii) has adopted diversity and inclusion policies. In the context of the appointment of the new Board of Directors, the Company invites you to take into account the above mentioned; for further information in this regard, please refer to the report on corporate governance and ownership structures relating to the 2023 financial year, available on the website www.alkemy.com – Corporate Governance section, Shareholders' Meeting and to the additional documentation referred to therein and also available on the website www.alkemy.com – Corporate Governance section.
The candidate indicated as such in the slate that obtained the highest number of votes or in the only slate presented is appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. In default, the Chairman is appointed by the Meeting with the ordinary majorities required by law, without prejudice to the provisions of art. 20.1 of the Articles of Association.


Shareholders other than those who hold, even jointly, a controlling interest or a relative majority must also submit a statement certifying the absence of connections pursuant to Articles 147-ter, paragraph 3, of the CLF and 144-quinquies of Consob Regulation no. 11971/1999, also taking into account the cases indicated in Consob Communication no. DEM/9017893 of February 26th, 2009, to which reference is made.
If only one slate is submitted, the meeting expresses its vote on it and, if it obtains the majority of votes, all members of the Board of Directors are drawn from that slate, in compliance with the provisions of law and regulations in force from time to time, as well as the provisions on gender balance described above.
If no slate is submitted or if only one is submitted and it does not obtain the majority of votes or if the number of directors elected on the basis of the lists submitted is lower than the number of members to be elected or if the entire Board of Directors does not need to be renewed or if it is not possible for any reason to proceed with the appointment of the Board of Directors with the methods set out in Article 19 of the Articles of Association, the members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Meeting with the ordinary methods and majorities, without applying the slate voting system, without prejudice to the minimum number of independent directors and the compliance with the provisions on gender balance, as represented above.
