Ordinary shares confer to all shareholders the same rights required by the regulation and by the bylaws, which are summarized here below.

Ordinary shares are registered shares, issued in dematerialized form and listed for trading on the Euronext Milan Market managed by Borsa Italiana SpA

Each ordinary share is entitled to vote in all ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings without any restrictions whatsoever, without prejudice to what is stated in the following letter d) regarding the possibility of increasing voting rights.

The share capital may be increased also through the issue of shares bearing rights which differ from those attached to the outstanding shares, as well as through contribution in kind or by way of receivables.

The capital can be increased within the limit of 10% of the existing share capital also in case of cash payment and with the exclusion of the pre-emption right, on condition that the issuing price corresponds to the market value of the shares and this is confirmed by a legal auditor or a legal auditing firm in a special report.

Net profit as indicated in the financial statements shall be allocated as follows:

a) 5% to legal reserve until the amount of the latter reaches one fifth of the company's share capital;
b) save where otherwise resolved by the shareholders' general meeting, the remainder to the ordinary shares.

Dividends unclaimed for 5 years from the day they became payable shall be forfeited to the benefit of the company.

No financial instrument grant schemes exist.

b) Restrictions on share transfer (article 123 bis, paragraph 1, letter b), TUF)

There are no restrictions on share transfer or acceptance clauses.

c) Significant shareholdings (article 123 bis, paragraph 1, letter c, TUF)

As resulting from Buzzi shareholders' register, integrated with Consob communications and available information, Buzzi's shareholders that currently directly or indirectly hold shares with voting rights in the ordinary general meeting representing more than 3% of the ordinary stock or a number of shares equal to or greater than the other thresholds established by the applicable regulations, are the following:

Fimedi Group

PRESA SpA

FIMEDI SpA

Buzzi SpA

No. of shares %

19,252,563 9.995
102,163,990 53.037
13,863,488 7,197

It should be noted that, as already disclosed to the market on October 6, 2025, in October 2025 Presa SpA entered into a three-year funded share collar transaction with UBS Europe SE, aimed at the acquisition by Presa SpA of a 2% stake in Buzzi.

The transaction was structured and resulted in the purchase by Presa SpA of a stake consisting of 3,852,523 Buzzi shares for a total consideration of 179.5 million euro, determined on the basis of the closing price of 46.60 euro on October 2, 2025, with financing provided by UBS in the amount of 150 million euro, to be repaid in 84 instalments maturing between September–October 2026/2027/2028. In addition, the transaction involved the execution of a structured derivative with

put options held by Presa SpA and call options held by UBS Europe SE on 5,136,697 Buzzi shares allocated across the 84 instalments, structured as two simultaneous transactions. The put and call options may be settled either physically or in cash, at the discretion of Presa SpA. As security for the obligations of Presa SpA towards UBS Europe SE under the funded share collar transaction, including repayment of the financing, a pledge was granted over 5,136,697 Buzzi shares, with voting rights retained by Presa SpA.

The shares indicated above in the table with reference to Presa SpA are net of the 3,852,523 shares currently on loan to UBS Europe SE, as disclosed to the market on October 14, 2025.

Based on the above-mentioned ownership, Fimedi SpA directly or through Presa SpA (subsidiary with a stake of 100% of ordinary stock) is Buzzi majority shareholder.

d) Shares granting special rights of control (article 123 bis, paragraph 1, letter d), TUF)

No shares granting special rights of control have been issued and there are no multiple voting shares.

The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of May 9, 2024 resolved to amend Article 5 of the corporate bylaws to introduce the "increased voting rights" mechanism pursuant to Article 127-quinquies, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998.

The bylaws stipulate that two votes shall be granted for each share held by a shareholder who has requested registration in a Special List - maintained and updated by the Company - and has continuously held the shares for at least 24 months from the date of registration in the said list.

Interested shareholders may submit a request for registration in the Special List exclusively through their intermediary where the shares are deposited, using the form available on the Company's website.

On May 9, 2024, the Board of Directors, by virtue of the delegation conferred upon it by the Shareholders' Meeting of the same date, adopted the regulations governing the registration, maintenance and updating of the Special List in compliance with applicable regulations, the bylaws, and market practices. These regulations are available on Buzzi's website.

Below is the list of shareholders registered in the Special List for entitlement to the increased voting rights benefit (pursuant to Article 127-quinquies, paragraph 2, of the TUF) with a shareholding exceeding 3% of Buzzi SpA's share capital:

Shareholder Registration date Registered shares % of capital
Fimedi SpA June 1, 2024 19,252,563 9.995
Presa SpA June 1, 2024 82,747,000 42.957

g) Shareholders’ agreements (article 123 bis, paragraph 1, letter g,) TUF)

As far as Buzzi is aware, no shareholders agreements, as per art. 122 of TUF, exist related to Buzzi shares.

h) Clauses of change of control (article 123 bis, paragraph 1, letter h,) TUF) and statutory provisions on offers to purchase (articles 104, paragraph 1 ter, and 104 bis, paragraph 1 TUF)

As regards the existence of significant agreements which become effective, are modified or terminate in the event of direct and/or indirect change in the control of the company, it is important to note the following.

The revolving credit facility for a maximum amount of 180 million euro as well as two financings totalling 150 million euro contain a clause according to which each financing bank, in case of a decrease in the controlling shareholder’s stake under 50% (or under 40% in the absence of other shareholders with a stake equal to or higher than that of the controlling shareholder) of Buzzi’s voting rights, if no agreement is reached among the financing banks on the amendment, if necessary, of the loan terms, can require the cancellation of the line of credit and the advance repayment of the loans granted.

Moreover the loans obtained by Buzzi for a total amount of 317 million euro by means of the German "Schuldschein" legal instrument, provide for a clause that gives lenders the possibility to request early repayment of the loan, if a party other than the current controlling parties acquires more than 50% of entire voting stock of Buzzi, provided that Buzzi suffers a rating reduction within a certain time after the change in the control or that the change in the control is in contrast with the regulation of the country of the/of lenders.

As for the companies Alpacem Cementi Italia SpA (formerly w&p Cementi SpA), Alpacem Cement d.d. (formerly Salonit Anhovo Gradbeni Materiali d.d.) and Alpacem Zement Austria GmbH ("Alpacem Companies"), of which Buzzi holds an interest of 25% in the share capital, some shareholders' agreements and further agreements (which were completed in January 2025) have been entered into and are in force with the majority shareholder of the three companies which provide, among other things, that in the event of a change of control of the majority shareholder of the Alpacem Companies or of Buzzi (or of its subsidiary Buzzi Unicem Srl), the party not involved in the change of control is entitled to sell the whole of its shareholding in the above mentioned Alpacem Companies to the other part or, alternatively under certain conditions, to purchase the shareholding of the other part at a price determined on the basis of the assessment by an independent expert appointed by the parties or, in case of disagreement, by a third party (depending on the case the Court of Padova, Ljubljana or Vienna).

Moreover, regarding the Mexican Company Corporación Moctezuma S.A.B. de C.V., of which Buzzi owns 50% of the controlling stake, a shareholders' agreement has been entered into and is in force with the other partner holding the remaining 50% of the controlling stake, which provides that in the event of changes in the control of either of the parties involved, the other party is entitled alternatively to (i) buy Corporación Moctezuma S.A.B. de C.V.’s shares at the same price as they were valued in the transaction which involved the change of control, or (ii) ask to sell to the third party also its own shareholding interest in Corporación Moctezuma S.A.B. de C.V, always at the same price as the shares were valued in the transaction which involved the change of control or (iii) accept the change of control.

Diversity criteria and policies:

a) in the Board composition

The Board has adopted policies on diversity for the composition of the corporate bodies, which are indications aimed at ensuring, as far as possible and without prejudice to the competence of the shareholders' meeting, a diversity deemed optimal in relation to the achievement of the correct fulfillment of the functions due to the administrative and control bodies.


CERTIFIED

These policies, in short, provide indications regarding the professional features that members of the corporate bodies should have in order to ensure levels of competence and professionalism suitable to the group's complexity and international dimension.

The Board believes that the members of the corporate bodies should have developed training and professional process being able to provide a relevant managerial competence, preferably with an international background.

With regard to the composition, in the Board there should be at least 4 of the following managerial and professional figures that:

  • have acquired business or management experience in the industrial, services, credit or financial sectors generally operating in an international context with dimensions and complexities similar to those of the company;
  • have acquired experience in boards of directors of companies, preferably listed ones, of significant size and/or complexity;
  • exercise professional activities in fields pertaining to the company's product and its applications or in fields pertaining to the economic, legal, financial, credit or environmental sectors;
  • are university professors in economic, legal, financial, technical-scientific subjects pertaining to the activity in which the group operates or to the environmental sector;
  • have developed in particular experience concerning control, risk management as well as auditing, legal and corporate compliance.

These policies also provide information on the representation of gender and the personal and seniority characteristics of the members of social bodies.

As regards the representation of gender, the Board, in sharing the aims and objectives pursued by the Golfo-Mosca law on "gender balance" which allocate to the underrepresented gender at least 40% of the members, believes that the statutory provisions guarantee adequate and optimal diversity. It is noted that the current composition of the Board exceeds the minimum requirement set by the legislation, as both genders are equally represented.

With regard to age diversity, the Board hopes that in the lists of candidates for the office of director no persons who have reached the age of 75 at the time of taking office will be indicated. Furthermore, in order to ensure an adequate knowledge of the company and its business sector, as well as the pursuit of medium-long term objectives, the Board deems it appropriate to maintain an adequate number of members in the corporate bodies that have held the respective offices for more than one term.

The Board believes that the implementation of these policies is remitted to the choices of shareholders and the shareholders' meeting, giving indications to the shareholders on the policies adopted during the explanatory reports to be submitted to the shareholders' meetings called to resolve the renewal of the corporate bodies or any changes in the composition of the same, as part of an eminent moral suasion.

With regard to the verification of the results of these policies, the Board considers that, through the self-assessment process, the adequacy of the composition of the Board can be monitored. and the contribution that diversity gives to the debate, to management decisions and to the critical sense towards executive directors can be evaluated.

b) in the corporate organization

Buzzi is a multi-regional international group, which operates in countries with different characteristics, culture, history, social structure and professional approach.

CERTIFIED

Centrality of the person, respect and valorization of the peculiarities of the various countries are among the founding values of the group's culture.

The Code of Conduct defines the general principles of behaviour with which all companies in the group, both Italian and foreign, must comply.

They are based on high standards of integrity, correctness and fairness; they promote dignity. equality, equal development opportunities and do not allow any form of discrimination.

Buzzi firmly believes that heterogeneous, balanced work groups, open to different approaches, visions and perspectives are a notable source of wealth; for this reason it is committed to recognizing and highlighting the peculiarities of each individual, whether they are linked to his/her professional profile, international exposure, social background, age, seniority in the company, gender, personal beliefs or anything else.

In all phases of the company life of collaborators and in all Human Resources management processes, evaluations are based on merit, skills, professionalism, commitment, individual responsibility, consistency of values, without any prejudice or discrimination. In the light of the above, all collaborators enjoy the same opportunities for growth and development.

  • initiatives for the reintegration of women after their maternity leave,
  • forms of time flexibility,
  • distance learning opportunities,
  • organization of meetings at appropriate times.

The group's current staff structure naturally reflects some peculiarities, in particular:

  • sector to which they belong, with a prevailing weight of the production plants and the engineering and blue-collar component, until today typically made up of male personnel, and with relatively low attractiveness of female candidates for the open positions;
  • historically low turnover, resulting in greater company seniority, professional experience and presence of men in management positions.

The group regularly measures and reports in a high degree of detail key indicators of gender and age diversity in the workforce and their evolution over time. This information, contained in the past years in the Sustainability Statements, published on the Company's website, starting from 2024 is presented in the Sustainability Statement in line with ESRS standards.

  • age,
  • type of contract,
  • training provided and classification.

4.7 Independent Directors and Lead Independent Directors

Independent Directors

The non-executive directors qualified as independent pursuant to the Code and the TUF are 5 (Aldo Fumagalli Romario, Linda Orsola Gilli, Marcella Logli, Antonella Musy, Giovanna Vitelli) and constitute half of the directors in office.

The Board pre-defined the quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the significance of the relevant circumstances pursuant to the Code for the purposes of assessing the independence of directors, identifying in particular the quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess the significance of the commercial, financial or professional relationships that may have occurred in the three previous financial years as well as to assess the significance of the remuneration received in the previous three financial years in addition to the fixed remuneration for the office and that envisaged


emarket
Fair Storage
CERTIFIED

for participation in board committees. In particular, without prejudice to the examination of each concrete case:

a) a commercial, financial or professional relationship is considered relevant if it exceeds:

  • if personal, double the remuneration received as director/auditor
  • if through a professional association, subsidiaries or companies of which he/she is an executive director, 15% of the revenues of the same

b) an additional remuneration is considered significant if it exceeded twice the remuneration received as director/auditor.

In terms of qualitative criteria, the existence of relationships that determine a form of subordination or dependence with respect to the company, subsidiaries, parent companies, executive directors or top management is considered relevant.

The assessment of the independence of such qualified directors was carried out by the Board after the appointment and subsequently once a year. The last assessment was carried out at the Board meeting of March 31, 20265, based on the necessary elements provided by each non-executive director as well as on the information available to the Company, taking into consideration all the circumstances that could compromise the independence of the directors and applying all the criteria provided for by the Code.

Within the periodical assessment, the Board carried out a further assessment on an individual basis of the existence of the independence requirements of the directors in office for more than nine years (Aldo Fumagalli Romario and Linda Orsola Gilli).

As a result of the assessments carried out, the Board, based on the indications provided by the individual directors and the information available, and considering:

  • high professionalism, competence, professional experience;
  • the effective independence of judgment expressed through the contributions made during the meetings of the board;
  • the non-existence of other circumstances that could compromise its independence;

decided to confirm that the term in office for more than nine years does not affect their independence. The outcome of the assessments was made known through the dissemination of specific press releases to the market.

The Board of Statutory Auditors has ascertained the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedure adopted by the Board for evaluating the independence of its members. The result of such control is hereunder reported:

"The Board of Statutory Auditors, on March 9, 2026, ascertained the correct application of the criteria adopted and of the process implemented by the board to evaluate the independence of its non-executive members as well as the correct application of the related assessment procedure.

The board deems that such assessment criteria and procedure are, essentially and as a whole, consistent with the Regulation".

The independent directors met once during the year 2025 in a special extra meeting, different from those of the board of directors and without the other directors. This meeting was coordinated by one of the independent directors identified by the same for this purpose and had as its object the evaluation of the work of the executive directors, verifying the transparency and adequacy of the dialogue and information flows between executive and non-executive directors, highlighting some suggestions for further improving information flows.

5.0 Management of corporate information

The Company has always had a specific procedure for managing corporate information. The "Procedure for the management of relevant and inside information", drawn up also taking into account the main indications of the Guidelines for handling the inside information issued by Consob, was finally updated by the Board on August 3, 2023.

The procedure, specifically, identifies in the CEO the Function of Inside Information Management, assisted by the Legal Affairs and Investor Relations' functions in all activities of corporate communication.

Moreover, the procedure sets forth the method to identify the Competent Organizational Functions of Inside Information as well as the relevant and inside information within the group and the procedures to follow in order to ensure the proper flow and the external communication.

6.0 Internal Committees of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to the regulation, the Board may set up internal committees with preliminary, proposing and consultative functions, which are entrusted with the task of supporting the Board in carrying out its duties in line with the recommendations of the Code.

The Board defines the duties of the committees, determines their composition and appoints their members, including the respective Chairmen, taking into account the skills and experience of the related members with regard to the tasks assigned to the committees.

The composition of the committees, their duties, the methods of calling, carrying out and recording the related meetings are governed by specific organizational regulations approved by the Board.

Currently, the Board has established the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee within itself, to which the functions envisaged by the Code are attributed (see paragraph 9.5).

Furthermore, in implementation of the provisions of the Procedure for related-party transactions and the Consob Related-Party Regulations, the Board has established the Related-Party Committee within itself (see paragraph 10).

7.0 Self-assessment and succession of directors - Nomination Committee

7.1 Self-assessment and succession of directors

As company with concentrated ownership, the Board carries out at least every three years, in view of its renewal, an assessment of the size, composition and concrete functioning of the Board and its Committees, also considering the role played by the Board itself in defining the strategies and monitoring the management trends and the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system.

The self-assessment process is carried out through a specific questionnaire, the results of which are submitted to the Board for appropriate considerations and evaluations.

The self-assessment questionnaire is prepared by the internal corporate affairs function and the collection and processing of the replies is carried out under the supervision of the Chairman, who


CERTIFIED

ensures the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process, evaluating the possible opportunity to avail herself of an independent consultant.

The Board carried out the last self-assessment in the second half of 2025, in view of the renewal of the Board of Directors to take place at the shareholders' meeting in May 2026. The process took place without the help of external consultants, under the supervision of the Chairman. The related results were presented to the Board on November 5, 2025.

The self-assessment activity was mainly addressed to an overall assessment of the functioning of the Board and the Committees. The process especially touched the aspects relating to the structure of the Board, which is articulated in executive, non-executive and independent directors as regards their number and expertise as well as some issues regarding the Board functioning, works organisation and the analysis of the Committees.

Based on the outcome of the self-assessment process, the Board, taking into account also the comments and recommendations ensuing from the questionnaire has deemed proper the size, composition and functioning of the Board and its Committees, as well as the managerial and professional figures sitting on the Board, maintaining unchanged the diversity policies for the composition of the corporate bodies and the indications regarding the optimal composition of the Board included in the specific explanatory report which will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for the appointment of the same.

Succession plans

The Board did not adopt any succession plan for the possible replacement of executive directors as:

  • the shareholder structure,
  • the appointment of a General Manager who collaborates in the management of the Company together with the CEO, to whom broad powers are conferred and
  • the organizational structure being articulated and manned in all the areas in which the group operates

allow to ensure continuity and stability in management even in the event of early termination of the assignment.

With regard to the succession of top management, the Board was able to assess that this is ensured by internal training and growth processes.

In addition, the CEO and the General Manager perform, within their respective roles, a constant support to the activities of the top management and are in a position to make up for (or ensure that provision is made to make up for) the related functions in the event of unexpected termination.

7.2 Nomination Committee

The Board has deemed not to establish a Nomination Committee for the following reasons:

  • the company has a concentrated ownership structure
  • half of the members of the Board are independent directors
  • the authority of the independent directors allows the Board to perform the functions attributed by the Code to the Nomination Committee.

In any case, the functions of the Nomination Committee, when necessary or appropriate, can be performed by the Board as a whole, made up of half of independent directors.

9.0 Internal control and risk management system

9.1 Description of the key features of the internal control, risk and sustainability system

The internal control and risk management system consists of the set of rules, procedures and organisational structures aimed at effective and efficient identification, assessment, monitoring and managing of the main risks in order to contribute to the Company's sustainable success.

Such a system is integrated in the more general organizational structure and corporate governance adopted by Buzzi and based on the models and best practice in place nationally and internationally. It contributes to:

  • promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of the business processes enabling an adequate management of the risks in order to contribute to the Company's sustainable success;
  • ensuring the reliability of the financial and non-financial information, of the internal and external reporting system through use of processes, procedures and systems which can generate a flow of reliable information both inside and outside the Company;
  • ensuring compliance with laws and rules, as well as bylaws and internal procedures;
  • safeguarding corporate assets and resources from inappropriate or fraudulent use or loss.

The internal control and risk management system based on the national and international best practices is organized on the following three degrees of control:

  • 1st level: the operational functions perform "line" controls;

CERTIFIED

  • 2nd level: the operational and administrative central functions perform also controls and risk assessments, and apply methods and instruments to ensure the process regularity. They are responsible of and monitor the risks in their respective area of competence;
  • 3rd level: the Internal Audit function verifies the structure and the operationality of the whole system.

The Board in the meeting of August 3, 2012 approved the “Guidelines for the Internal Control and Risk Management System” which provide a description of the roles and responsibilities of the entities involved in the internal control and risk management system as well as the identification of the level of risks deemed consistent with the group’s strategic objectives. These guidelines were last updated by the Board on February 7, 2025.

The Board of directors has the ultimate responsibility of the internal control and risk management control and performs the functions as per Recommendation 33 of the Code, with the help of the following corporate bodies identified within the board:

  • the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, as per paragraph 9.5 here under;
  • the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, identified in the group’s CEO, Pietro Buzzi, who is entrusted with the functions as per Recommendation 34 of the Code, in addition to the task of proposing to the Board the appointment, revocation and compensation of the head of the Internal Audit function.

With regard to the information required by the ESRS sustainability reporting principles concerning the roles, responsibilities and reporting of the control bodies regarding sustainability issues, reference is made to the Sustainability Statement.

9.2 Officer in charge of the Internal Audit function

Within the internal control and risk management system a decisive role is played by the function of Internal Audit. The above-mentioned guidelines approved by the Board confer to the head of the Internal Audit function, that has been confirmed in the person of Marco Fabruzzo, among others, the functions as per Recommendation 36 of the Code. As stated by International Standards, the Internal Audit function performs its functions by virtue of a specific power assigned by the Board with the aim of defining the objectives, the organizational structure, the reliability, the reporting duties and requirements of the Internal Audit function.

The officer in charge of the Internal Audit function is not responsible for any operational areas and reports directly to the board of directors, and within the objectives of designing, implementing and managing the internal control and risk management system, constantly communicates with the Director responsible for the internal control and risk management system, without prejudice to the mutual independence of the respective functions.

The remuneration of the Head of Internal Audit was lastly approved by the Board at its meeting of February 6, 2026, following the favorable opinion of the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee. The identification and management of the main risks is based on a Risk Management system implemented in the parent Buzzi SpA and the major subsidiaries, through which, on a half-year basis, the main risks are analysed and recorded.

In addition, the Board shall approve annually the group audit Plan prepared by the head of Internal Audit, after consulting the board of statutory auditors and the manager in charge of the system of internal control and risk management. The process is structured based on a three-year timeframe to ensure that every process or area of activity with a medium or high risk is audited at least once within the three-year period. The plan for 2025 was approved by the Board on February 7, 2025.

The plan for 2026 was approved at the meeting held on February 6, 2026. The audit activities of the companies domiciled in Russia, following the cessation of any involvement in the operations of the companies active in the country, are carried out by a local auditing firm.

Within the internal control and risk management system the company, several years ago, provided an internal whistleblowing system for employees of any irregularities or violations of the applicable law by adopting procedures which also apply to Italian and foreign subsidiaries (in compliance with the respective local regulations), which regulate the process of receiving, analysing and processing alerts and in particular those relating to cases of suspected fraud, violation of the applicable regulations, ethical and behavioural principles present in the Code of Conduct committed by employees or persons related to the company or the group. These procedures, among other things, provide for the anonymity of the informant and the confidentiality of processed data and for the parent company and the Italian subsidiaries they implement the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 24 of 2023, on the subject of whistleblowing reports.

The Board of March 31, 2026, upon prior favorable opinion of the Control, Risk and Sustainable Committee, assessed as adequate and effective the internal control and risk management system.

9.3 Organizational Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001

Within the scope of the control system, the Board adopted the Organization, Management and Control model pursuant to legislative decree 231/01.

The Supervisory body has been identified in the Internal Audit function of Buzzi SpA, is made up of 6 members and is under the direction of the Internal Audit manager. During 2025 the 6 members of Internal Audit, as the Supervisory Body, met 4 times with the aim of verifying the completeness of the various control activities.

The Model was last updated by the Board on August 5, 2025 depending on the criminal offences being from time to time included in the area of responsibility of the company, on the identification of the relevant sensitive processes, as well as on the organizational changes occurred.

The structure of the model, which is based on the principles set out in the Code of Conduct adopted at group level, consists of:

  • a General Part describing the fundamental characteristics of the Model, identifies the Supervisory Body and illustrates its duties, responsibilities and operations, establishes the applicable sanctions in case of violation of the principles contained in the Model;
  • a Special Part, divided into Sections (one for each type of offense relevant for the purpose of Legislative Decree 231/2001 and considered as potentially sensitive for the company), which illustrates the individual types of offenses and identifies the sensitive activities relevant to such offenses. Furthermore, the principles of conduct that the recipients are required to comply with in carrying out their activities are provided and the control principles and the specific organizational-procedural tools adopted by the company are illustrated in order to prevent the commission of the offense provided for by Legislative Decree 231/2001.

The General Part of the Model and the Code of Conduct are available on the company's website at the following link: https://www.buzzi.com/organization-management-and-control-model.

Buzzi believes that integrity and fairness are the foundation of its way of operating and, in line with the provisions of the Code of Conduct, requires its organization to comply with all applicable anti-corruption regulations, recognizing that such compliance and the prevention of corruption are essential for sustainable development, economic growth and free competition. The principles promoted and pursued by the group in terms of anti-corruption were formalized in January 2025 in

a specific Anti-Corruption Code, aimed at ensuring that the Company, management, employees and any third parties acting in the name and/or on behalf of the group apply the principles and rules outlined in the Anti-Corruption Code, in compliance with international conventions and key national and international regulations aimed at preventing and repressing corruption of public officials and corruption between private parties.

The Anti-Corruption Code, therefore, defines the principles related to anti-corruption and the behavioral rules that its recipients are required to comply with, identifies roles, responsibilities and measures for managing and mitigating risks.

9.4 Main features of the internal control and risk management system in place in relation to financial reporting

9.4.1 Introduction

As described, Buzzi's internal control and risk management system consists of a set of rules, procedures and organizational structures which, through an adequate process of identification, assessment, management and monitoring of the main risks, aims at allowing a sound and effective management of the company, consistent with the objectives set, ensuring the safeguard of the corporate assets, the efficiency and effectiveness of the corporate transactions, the reliability of the finance reporting and the compliance with laws and regulations.

The internal control and risk management system, as outlined, has thus a broad meaning: it is not limited to the simple accounting controls and financial reporting, but includes other key aspects of the business, such as the safeguard of resources, the operating efficiency and effectiveness, as well as the compliance with the corporate law, rules and policies.

The Board is ultimately responsible for the internal control and risk management system and to this purpose it has established the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, identified the Director in charge of supervising the functionality of the internal control and risk management system and appointed the head of Buzzi's Internal Audit function.

As for financial reporting, the company has appointed the manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports and has charged the Internal Audit function with the task of checking the compliance with the operating and administrative internal procedures, established in order to ensure a reliable, sound and timely financial reporting.

In laying down its internal control and risk management system, Buzzi has referred to the guidelines of COSO, Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, adapting the same to its organizational situation.

As a section of the previously defined internal control and risk management system, it is thus possible to identify and extract a set of rules, procedures and structures aiming only at the management, preparation and control of financial reporting.

This section of the internal control and risk management system, made up of rules and procedures, has been designed and implemented in two steps.

Initially the company has adopted control tools called "entity level controls" which describe and assess the risks and controls at company or group's level. They are periodically updated to account for the changes in risks and internal control environment. This environment encompasses the "Code of Conduct", the "Organizational Model ex Legislative Decree 231/01" and the high-level procedures such as "Financial Closing", "Financial Investment Policy", "Preparation of the Consolidated

26


CERTIFIED

Sustainability Statement", "Non-routine transaction accounting", "Preparation of the management Report", "Related-party transactions" and "Procedure for the management of relevant and inside information". To complete the aforementioned system of procedures, please note the operating Instructions sent to subsidiaries relating to Law 262/05, governing the management and updating of process matrices and related control tests. In this context Buzzi implemented and distributed to the subsidiaries the group's "Accounting Manual", which is constantly updated. Similarly, general controls on the Information System Governance have been provided for. Pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 24 of 2023, the parent company and the Italian and foreign subsidiaries implemented an IT platform, accessible from the websites and the intranet, for the employees to report possible infringements of the Code of Conduct. A "system of risk management", supported by Group Procedure, completes the internal control environment.

At operating level, Buzzi has thus formalized a set of procedures aimed at governing the activities of the company's main managements and production units. The procedures which refer to processes affecting different managements, such as Purchasing or Sales, also for the administrative aspects, are monitored and updated by the Internal Control upon indication by the concerned Managements. Lower level procedures and operating instructions, issued by Managements, functions or production units, govern in detail the single activities.

Subsequently, and specifically for financial reporting, this section of the internal control and risk management system has been completed by introducing a set of risk and control matrices, reporting the risks, controls and tests for the main corporate processes. The matrix structure stems from the international best practices and the control identification is structured based on the potential risk level on the respective process. Risk and control matrices are monitored by the Administration Management, jointly with the Internal Audit.

The entity level controls, the procedures and the control matrices are thus geared to achieve reliable, sound and timely financial reporting.

9.4.2 Description of the main features of the internal control and risk management system in place in relation to financial reporting

Stages of the internal control and risk management system in place in relation to financial reporting

Identification of risks on financial reporting

Buzzi is a group operating through a lot of subsidiaries, in Italy and in different foreign countries. Given the group's complexity, in the first stage, which is carried out at the beginning of each year, the relevant companies must be identified.

In 2025, the activities envisaged under the review project were implemented, contributing to the enhancement of the efficiency of the internal control system over financial reporting, with the involvement of the Administrative Department and the Internal Audit function.

The process to determine the scope of the companies and of the "relevant" processes for their potential impact on the financial reporting aims at identifying, with regards to group's consolidated financial statements, the balance sheet accounts, subsidiaries and accounting and administrative procedures that are to be considered as relevant, based on assessments made using qualitative and quantitative parameters.

Specifically, such parameters are set by:


emarket

CERTIFIED

  • determining the quantitative threshold values by which to compare both the accounts concerning the consolidated financial statements and the related contribution of the subsidiaries within the group;
  • making qualitative assessments based on the knowledge of the company's situation and of the existing specific risk factors that the accounting and administrative procedures entail.

To the balance-sheet accounts classified as relevant are linked the underlying corporate processes in order to identify the controls suited to achieving the objectives of the internal control and risk management system for financial reporting.

In the second stage the significant processes are identified, which might have a material impact on financial reporting, and consequently are to be periodically tested. For the companies which are relevant under the quantitative aspect, the significant processes have been identified. The relevant companies are subject to specific tests on the functioning of the internal controls. The Administration Management and the Internal Audit identify the processes to submit to test on an annual basis. To perform the tests, operating instructions are sent every year to the internal auditors or to the CFO of the main subsidiaries indicating the procedures to submit to updating analysis and functioning test. Group procedures and the tests which have been carried out are filed in the Internal Audit function of the parent company and the local functions of Internal Audit.

Risk assessment on financial reporting

The matrices report, for each process, the control principles which highlight the main risks that would jeopardize the achievement of the objectives of accuracy, reliability and timeliness of financing reporting.

A "control principle", if applicable to the processes analysed, implicitly highlights the risk of error or fraud on financial reporting.

Identification and assessment of controls against identified risks

Within the matrices, the further step is represented by the identification of the control objective and by the description of the specific control implemented

On the basis of the schedule defined by the Manager charged, the local structures, with the support of the parent company's coordination function, provide to update the procedures and the control matrices. The local Internal Audit functions and the parent company's Internal Auditing for Buzzi and the subsidiaries perform, during the year, the related tests. Quarterly, each local auditing structure sends to the parent company a report which outlines all the activities performed in the period, included the one related to the typical tests of financing report. In the quarterly report the potential weaknesses found, if any, are highlighted as well as the corrective actions to take, if already identified. The completeness and reliability of the tests performed by the local audit functions, as well as the corrective actions to the potential weaknesses are periodically checked directly by the parent company's Internal Auditing at the foreign subsidiaries' offices.

Consequently, through both the tests on the processes underlying the accounting entries and the checks on the continuous and proper application of the procedures "Financial Closing", Financial Investment Policy "Non-routing transactions Accounting", "Preparation of the management Report" and "Procedure for related-party transactions", the risks of both non-intentional error and fraud which may affect financial reporting are brought under control.

Roles and functions involved

The parent company's Internal Auditing quarterly prepares a Report which includes, for Buzzi and all the subsidiaries, the summary of the required adjustments to the procedures and the results of


CERTIFIED

the test activities with the potential weaknesses found and the corrective actions suggested. The report is sent to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, to the Director in charge of supervising the functionality of the internal control and risk management system, to the General Manager, to the Board of Statutory Auditors, to the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and to the Manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports and is being evaluated during specific meeting which are quarterly held by the same bodies.

Moreover, on an annual basis, once the testing activity on the procedure "Financial Closing" has been completed, the parent company's Internal Auditing prepares an additional report on the specific potential weaknesses related to financial reporting and send it to the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system and to the Manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports. The report outlines all the control activities performed throughout the year on the application of administrative and accounting procedures and the related test implemented. For the Italian and foreign companies, the same report certifies the reliability of the internal control and risk management system or the existence of anomalies, if any, such as to require a broader sampling, or of significant weaknesses in the administrative and accounting procedures or in the financial statements. On an annual basis as well, once the updating and testing activities locally performed have been completed, the foreign subsidiaries and sub-holdings send to the Manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports a statement, signed by the CEO and the CFO. In these statements they confirm that the procedures for the preparation of their financial statements are adequate and have been effectively applied. They also certify that the financial statements comply with the international financial reporting standards, they correspond to the results, documented in the books and the accounting records and they provide a true and correct representation of the financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows, highlighting the weaknesses identified, if any.

Similar statements are issued with reference to the half-year interim financial report.

The general structure of the bodies in charge of the internal control and risk management system is organic, well-balanced and present in the different countries of group's operations. In the parent company, the Director in charge of supervising the functionality of the internal control and risk management system and the Manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports monitor, through the head of the Internal Auditing, also in his capacity of Supervisory Body ex Legislative Decree no 231/01, and certify that the administrative and accounting procedures for the preparation of the financial statements are adequate and have been effectively applied. The head of the Internal Audit function, together with the parent Buzzi's structure, updates the procedures and performs the tests for the Italian operations, monitors and coordinates the activity of the different foreign functions in relation to the procedures adjustments and the testing activity. A symmetrical structure exists in the foreign subsidiaries. As already reminded, the local CEO and CFO monitor and certify to the Italian parent company that the administrative and accounting procedures for the preparation of the financial statements are adequate and have been effectively applied.

Following the Charter of Internal Auditing, which was updated and approved by the Board on February 6, 2026, the local Internal Audit functions functionally refer to the Responsible Officer of Buzzi Internal Auditing. Local Internal Audit functions have been set up in the main countries where the group operates.

At the American subsidiaries RC Lonestar Inc. and Alamo Cement Company, the Compliance Committees have been set up with the responsibility of coordinating compliance with corporate

governance, risk management and the internal control system. They are equipped with their own regulations and made up of the Human Resources Manager, the Legal Department Manager and the Internal Audit Manager.

Among the responsibilities and duties of the Compliance Committees there is the supervision and implementation of all activities relating to compliance with the Code of Conduct of Buzzi, the Procedure for the management of relevant and inside information, as well as of conflicts of interest and of whistleblower reporting service. They carry out any investigations, through Internal Audit, following the same whistleblower reports and organize staff training on the Code of Conduct and Antitrust.

On a quarterly basis, the Compliance Committees send a report summarizing the entire activity carried out during the period to the Board of Directors and the CEO of the American companies and to the Internal Audit of the parent company.

The Board of May 12, 2023, following the renewal of the corporate bodies, renewed the appointment of the Related-Party Committee, appointing as regular members the independent directors Aldo Fumagalli Romario, Chairman, and Linda Orsola Gilli and Giovanna Vitelli and, as alternate member, the independent director Antonella Musy.

The Procedures foresee the appointment of a single Committee, in charge for the release of the required opinions both on transactions of greater importance and on transactions of lesser importance. The committee is made up of three independent directors, as regular members, and of a number of independent and/or non-executive directors being established by the Board at the time of appointment, as alternate members. Procedures provide for a system of automatic replacement of the regular members by the alternate members, should one or more of the regular members be a "related director" in connection with the transaction on which the Committee is asked to express opinion, so as to ensure the proper composition of the committee in relation to the category of transactions on which the opinion is asked (presence of at least two independent directors and one non-executive director of the transaction of lesser importance and presence of three independent directors for the transactions of greater importance). Should the proper composition of the committee not be possible, the opinion on transactions of both greater importance and lesser importance shall be issued by the non-related independent board members or, failing that, by a non-related independent expert.

The operating rules of the Related-Party Committee are contained in a specific regulation approved by the Board.

The Board regulation, as regards the situations in which a director is bearer of an interest on his/her behalf or on behalf of third parties, provides that the director concerned must notify the Board and the Board of Statutory Auditors, even only orally during the meeting, of the interest he/she has in the transaction, on his/her own behalf or on behalf of third parties, specifying the nature, terms, origin and extent of interest.

The decision to take part in the discussion and resolution on the issues in respect of which they have declared to have an interest of their own is left to the discretion of the directors, without prejudice to the abstention obligations deriving from the regulation on related-party transactions.

Similarly, if a statutory auditor has an interest, on his/her own or on behalf of third parties, in a specific operation, the auditor concerned must promptly notify the other statutory auditors and the Chairman of the Board, specifying the nature, terms, origin and extent of interest.

The Related-Party Committee met twice during 2025. The average duration of the meetings was around 1 hour.

It is expected that the Related-Party Committee will meet twice in 2026. So far, 1 meeting has been held.

Diversity policies and criteria

As mentioned in the previous paragraph 4.3, the Board adopted policies on diversity for the composition of the corporate bodies.

With regard to the composition of the board of statutory auditors, the board of directors believes that there should be at least two statutory auditors in this body, who have exercised the activity of statutory auditing for a period of no less than three years.

With regard to the representation of gender, the personal and seniority characteristics of the statutory auditors as well as the objectives and procedures for implementing the policies, the same indications as for the Board were adopted, as already illustrated in paragraph 4.3 above, to which reference should be made.

Independence

The quantitative and qualitative criteria established by the Board to assess the significance of the relevant circumstances pursuant to the Code for the purposes of assessing the independence of directors, and in particular the quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the significance of any financial or professional commercial relationships that may have occurred in the three previous years as well as to assess the significance of the remuneration received in the previous three years in addition to the fixed remuneration for the office, are also applied for the purposes of assessing the independence of the statutory auditors.

The assessment of the auditors' independence is carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors, which, in the first meeting after the appointment and subsequently on an annual basis, checked the existence of the independence requirements of its members on the basis of the independence criteria required by the Code.

The Company communicated the outcome of the assessment following the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors by issuing a press release to the market.

The Board of Statutory Auditors on January 12, 2026, as part of the overall self-assessment process, carried out the annual check on the continuing compliance with the independence requirements of its members and communicated to the Board the following conclusions:

"The Board of Statutory Auditors has verified the compliance with the criteria that allow its members, both collectively and individually, to be qualified as independent, with respect to the criteria set out by the TUF, the behavior norms for the Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies issued by the CNDC (National Corporate Governance Committee) and the quantitative and qualitative criteria established by the Board to assess the significance of the relevant circumstances pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code for the evaluation of the independence of the Statutory Auditors.

In the course of the assessment, Paola Lucia Giordano was considered independent, even though she holds the position of statutory auditor for the fourth mandate. This is due to her high level of professionalism, competence, professional experience, ethics and objectivity demonstrated, as well as the maintenance of all other independence requirements set out in the Corporate Governance Code. It was concluded that her long tenure in the role – exceeding nine years – did not affect her independence."

Remuneration

With regard to the remuneration of the Statutory Auditors, on the occasion of its renewal in 2023, the Board highlighted in the respective explanatory report to the shareholders' meeting that the remuneration of the statutory auditors should be commensurate with the commitment required, the relevance of the role played and the dimensional and sectorial characteristics of the company.

12.0 Relations with shareholders and other relevant stakeholders

Access to information

The company, in order to ensure a continuous and timely information to the shareholders so as to allow them an informed exercise of their rights, has established a specific section on its website, which is easy to identify and accessible, in which it makes available the information regarding the Company which is relevant for its shareholders.

An Investor Relations function has been designated to deal with institutional investors and shareholders within which the Investor Relations Officer Giovanni Guaschino, following the guidelines laid down by the CEO, has the task of establishing a continuous, constructive and bidirectional dialogue with the institutional investors and the shareholders.

Contact details of the Investor Relations function are available on the website at the following link: https://www.buzzi.com/investors.

Dialogue with shareholders and other relevant stakeholders

The Board, on the proposal of the Chairman formulated in agreement with the CEO, has adopted a Policy for managing dialogue with institutional investors and shareholders in general (Engagement Policy), which identifies the corporate structures responsible for dialogue (the CEO and the Investor Relator) and the role of the Chairman and the Board. The Policy also identifies the contact point with the Investor Relations Officer (available on the Company's website at the following link https://www.buzzi.com/investors) for shareholders who intend to initiate a dialogue and the methods and means by which the dialogue is carried out.

The Policy is available on the Company's website at the following link https://www.buzzi.com/investors, to which reference should be made for the related contents.

Buzzi recognizes the importance of building and maintaining trust relationships, based on mutual respect, active partnership, transparency and long-term cooperation with its stakeholders, especially with those rooted in the areas in which the group operates. This means getting to know one's own stakeholders, understanding their needs and promoting their involvement in various manners, in particular at significant events in the life of the plants and of the headquarters and at strategic initiatives of potential mutual interest. With this purpose, Buzzi promotes regular communication initiatives, in particular with employees, suppliers, customers, local communities and authorities, whose contents and level of involvement are defined, planned and implemented on the basis of

dedicated procedures, including through the creation of recurring events in every plant with high economical, environmental and social impact. For more detailed information, please refer to the Sustainability Statement.

13.0 Shareholders' meetings

The Board has laid down a set of rules to govern the conduct of shareholders' meetings held in person, guaranteeing the right of each shareholder to speak on the matters under discussion. These rules have been drawn up on the basis of the facsimile-model prepared by Assonime.

The Rules have been approved in their last version by the shareholders' meeting of May 8, 2015 (except for subsequent purely formal corrections resulting from the disappearance of the category of savings shares following their conversion into ordinary shares) and are available on the website at the following link: https://www.buzzi.com/bylaws-and-shareholders.

Neither the bylaws nor the shareholders' meeting rules provide rules different from those set by the applicable legislative and prescribed provisions in relation to the conduct of the meetings, their main powers, the shareholders' rights and the way to exercise them.

14.0 Comments on the letter dated December 18, 2025 by the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee

The recommendations contained in the 2025 Report of the Corporate Governance Committee on the evolution of the corporate governance of listed companies and forwarded by letter of the Chairman of the Committee on December 18, 2025 were presented to the Board of March 31, 2026, which, following an analysis of the individual recommendations, deemed that the Company is already substantially adapted to the recommendations formulated by the Committee and that, therefore, no further action is necessary.

In particular, on the individual recommendations:

Remuneration policy – In the remuneration policy, set out in the remuneration report approved by the Board on March 31, 2026 and to be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting of May 2026, there are no provisions regarding possible extraordinary payments and/or possible severance indemnities for executive directors. The policy instead sets out in detail the criteria, methods and timing for the payment of the supplementary indemnity envisaged for the General Manager, to which reference is made for full details, including the indication of the maximum amount payable.

Dialogue with other relevant stakeholders – The Group is already equipped with procedures for engaging with stakeholders, covering employees, local communities and ESG matters. In light of the recommendation highlighting the need for a unified approach to stakeholder engagement, the Company has initiated a process to develop a general document (to which the individual internal procedures will refer) that brings together the existing engagement methods, in line with the topics indicated in the recommendation. The outcome of this process will be reported, at the latest, in the 2027 Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure, relating to the 2026 financial year.
