Questions regarding the items on the Agenda

Shareholders who are entitled to attend the meeting may submit questions regarding the items on the Agenda prior to the Meeting and until the third day preceding the Meeting, by sending their questions by registered letter with return receipt to the Company's registered office and/or by sending an electronic communication to the following certified e-mail address, [email protected], from a certified e-mail address. Questions submitted in this way will be raised and answered during the Shareholders' Meeting. A single response will be given to questions that have the same content.

Legitimate attendance and exercise of the right to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting

Under article 83 sexies of Legislative Decree 58/98, legitimate attendance and exercise of the right to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting must be proved by a communication sent to the Company from an intermediary confirming share ownership in accordance with the accounting records on behalf of the person having the right to vote; this communication is made by the intermediary on the basis of evidence of possession of the shares at the end of the accounting day on the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the first convocation of the Shareholders' Meeting. Those who appear as shareholders of the Company after this date are not permitted to attend or vote in the Shareholders' Meeting.

Granting of proxy to the Designated Shareholders' Representative

Pursuant to Art. 106 of Decree Law no. 18 of 17 March 2020 (the so-called "Cura Italia" Decree), participation in the Shareholders' Meeting by those who have the right to vote is allowed exclusively through the Designated Shareholders' Representative.

Consequently, the Company has appointed Computershare S.p.A. - with registered office in Milan, via Mascheroni no. 19, 20145 - to represent the shareholders pursuant to art. 135-undecies of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 and the aforementioned Decree Law (the "Designated Shareholders' Representative"). Shareholders which have the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting shall therefore grant the Appointed Representative a proxy - with voting instructions - on all or some of the proposed resolutions concerning the items on the agenda filled the specific proxy form, also electronic, prepared by the Designated Shareholders' Representative agreed with the Company, available on the Company's website at www.biessegroup.com (section "Investor Relations" - "Information for investors" - "MEETING 21/04/2020"), where a link which shows the procedure for the electronic submission of the proxy is provided.

The proxy form with voting instructions must be submitted following the instructions on the form itself and on the Company's website by the second trading day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting (by 17 April 2020, with reference to the first call, and by 6 May 2020, with reference to the second call) and may be revoked by the same deadline.

The proxy, thus conferred, is effective only for those proposals in relation to which voting instructions have been given.

It should be noted that the shares for which the proxy has been conferred, even partially, are counted for the purposes of the regular 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 amount of capital required for the approval of resolutions.

It should also be noted that the Designated Shareholders' Representative may also be granted with proxies or sub-delegations pursuant to Article 135-novies of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance ("TUF"), as an exception to Article 135 undecies, paragraph 4, of the TUF, under the terms and conditions indicated on the Company's website.
