Additions to the list of items to be discussed are not permitted for matters on which law requires the Shareholders' Meeting to pass resolutions on matters proposed by the directors or on the basis of a project or a report prepared by the directors, other than those indicated in article 125-ter, paragraph 1, of the TUF.

Submission of individual resolution proposals pursuant to article 126-bis, paragraph 1, third sentence of the TUF

Considering that attendance to the Shareholders' Meeting is exclusively provided through the Designated Representative, qualified Shareholders who intend to formulate proposals for

resolutions on the items on the agenda must submit them by the 15th day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting in the same manner as indicated above. Such proposals will be published without delay and in any case no later than 18 April 2023 on the Company website in order to enable those entitled to vote to express themselves in an informed manner, also taking into account such new proposals, and to enable the Designated Representative to collect voting instructions on the same, if any.

The resolution proposals must be accompanied by a certification of share ownership at the record date (18 April 2023) issued in accordance with article 83-sexies of the TUF.

For the purposes of the above, the Company reserves the right to verify the relevance of the proposals with respect to the items on the agenda, their completeness and their compliance with applicable regulations, as well as the legitimacy of the proposing parties.

Participation in the Shareholders' Meeting and granting of proxy to the Designated Representative

Pursuant to article 106 of Italian Decree-Law no. 18 of 17 March 2020, the so-called "Cura Italia" Decree (last extended by Decree-Law no. 198 of 29 December 2022, article 3, paragraph 10 undecies, as converted into law with amendments by Law no. 14 of 24 February 2023), the Shareholders' Meeting will be held exclusively in a remote manner, by means of teleconferencing and attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting by those entitled to vote is permitted exclusively through the designated representative.

As a result, the Company has appointed Computershare S.p.A. - with registered office in Milan, Via Mascheroni no. 19, 20145 - to represent the Shareholders pursuant to article 135-undecies of the TUF and the above-mentioned Decrees-Law (the "Designated Representative"). Shareholders who wish to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting must therefore grant the Designated Representative a proxy – with voting instructions – for all or some of the proposed resolutions on the items on the agenda, using the specific proxy form prepared by the Designated Representative in agreement with the Company, available on the Company website at the following address www.azimut-group.com.

The proxy form with voting instructions must be submitted by following the instructions on the form and on the Company website, by the end of the second trading day prior to the meeting (25 April 2023) and the proxy may be revoked within the same period.

The proxy granted in this way is effective only for those proposals in relation to which voting instructions have been given.

It should be noted that the shares for which a proxy has been granted, even a partial one, are counted for the purposes of ascertaining the due constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting. In relation to proposals for which no voting instructions have been given, the shares are not counted for the purposes of calculating the majority and the percentage of capital required for the approval of resolutions.

It should also be noted that the Designated Representative may also be granted proxies or subdelegations pursuant to article 135-novies of the TUF, as an exception to article 135-undecies, paragraph 4 of the TUF, in the manner and within the time limit indicated in the form available on the Company website.

The Designated Representative will be available for clarification or information at +39 02- 46776827 – +39 0246776814 – +39 0246776811 or at the following e-mail address [email protected].
