Entitlement to attend the Shareholders' Meeting

Those holding the voting rights with the necessary certifications issued by an authorised intermediary, in accordance with the laws and regulations in force, are entitled to attend the Shareholders' Meeting.

In this respect, pursuant to art. 83sexies TUF, the entitlement to attend the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise voting rights must be certified by a statement to the Company, issued by the intermediary in accordance with its accounting records, in favour of each person entitled to exercise the voting rights, on the basis of the evidence as of the end of the seventh market trading day prior to the date on which the Shareholders' Meeting is called, namely by 10 April 2025 (the so-called "record date"). Those holding shares after said date will not be entitled to attend or vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. The intermediary must send the certification to the Company by the end of the third market trading day prior to the date on which the Shareholders' Meeting is called, i.e., by 16 April 2025.

Right to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting

Pursuant to article 10 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Company has decided to avail itself of the right to hold the Shareholders' Meeting with the attendance and vote of the shareholders exclusively through the proxy holder appointed by the Company pursuant to Article 135undecies of the TUF (the "Designated Representative"). This choice in fact makes it easier the attendance for those entitled (as demonstrated by the positive feedback in terms of attendance recorded in recent years with the introduction of the Designated Representative), as well as a saving of resources for the Company.

Therefore, those entitled to vote and intend to exercise their vote will necessarily have to grant – without any charges to the delegating party (except for any delivery costs) – a proxy as well as voting instructions to Aholding S.r.l., with registered office in Ivrea (To), in its quality of Designated Representative.

The proxy to the Designated Representative shall be submitted, with voting instructions on all or certain items on the Agenda, through a specific proxy form available on the Company's website https://corporate.amplifon.com/en (Governance Section/Documents for the Shareholders'). The original proxy must be sent to the Designated Representative - along with a copy of a valid identity document of the delegating shareholder or, if such shareholder is a legal entity, of the pro tempore representative-at-law or another individual vested with the relevant powers, along with documentation suitable for the purpose of proving such capacity and powers - via registered letter with notice of receipt to its office in via Circonvallazione 5, 10010 Banchette (Torino) or to the following certified email address [email protected] (specifying in the object "Delega RD – Assemblea Amplifon 2025"), by the end of the second trading day prior to the date scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e., by 17 April 2025). Sending the proxy to the above mentioned certified e-mail address, signed with a qualified electronic signature or ature in accordance with the regulations in force, meets the requirements of the written form. The proxy will be valid only for the resolutions for which voting instructions are provided.

Within said term 17 April 2025, the proxy and the voting instructions may be revoked at any time using the procedures indicated above.

Proxies and/or sub-proxies, necessarily containing voting instructions on all or certain items on the Agenda, may be also granted to the above-mentioned Designated Representative pursuant to Article 135novies of the TUF, through the use of a specific form available on the Company's internet website https://corporate.amplifon.com/en (Governance Section/Documents for the Shareholders'). For the granting and notification of such proxies/subproxies, also by electronic means, the procedures described in the proxy form must be followed. The proxy must be received by 6:00 p.m. CET of the day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting (and in any case by the beginning of the meeting). Within the above-mentioned term, the proxy and the voting instructions may be revoked at any time using the procedures specified in the proxy form.

For further clarifications regarding the granting of the proxy to the Designated Representative (and, in particular, regarding the filling in of the proxy form and the voting instructions and their submission), please contact Aholding S.r.l. by e-mail at [email protected] or at the following phone number 0125 1865910.
