Pursuant to Article 135novies of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 10 of the By-laws, those who have the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting may be represented by written or electronically conferred proxy. For this purpose, the proxy form issued at the request of the entitled party by the authorised intermediaries and available at the registered office and on the Company's website www.carel.com may be used.

The proxy may be transmitted by sending a message addressed to the certified e-mail [email protected] or by registered mail to the Company's registered office, in Via dell'Industria 11, Brugine (PD), 35020 - Italy for the attention of the Investors Relation.

If the representative delivers or transmits to the Company, including in electronic form, a copy of the proxy instead of the original, he or she shall certify under his or her own responsibility the conformity of the proxy to the original and the identity of the delegating party.

Pursuant to Article 135undecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 10 of the By-laws, the Company has designated Monte Titoli S.p.A., with registered office in Milan, Piazza degli Affari No. 6 ("Monte Titoli") as the entity to which shareholders may confer, without charge to themselves, a written proxy with voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda (the "Designated Representative"). In this case, the proxy must be conferred by completing and signing the specific proxy form available on the Company's website www.carel.com or at the Company's registered office.

The original of the form must be received by the Designated Representative by the end of the second trading day preceding the date of the Shareholders' Meeting in a single call (i.e. by 12 September 2023) in the following alternative manner: (i) transmission of an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) to the certified mail address [email protected] (subject "2023 Carel Shareholders' Meeting Delegation") from one's own certified e-mail (or, in the absence of that, from one's own ordinary mail box, in which case the proxy with the voting instructions must be signed with a qualified or digital electronic signature); (ii) transmission of the original by courier or registered mail with return receipt, to the address Monte Titoli S.p.A – c.a.

The proxy and the related voting instructions are always revocable within the same period as above (i.e. by 12 September 2023).

The proxy is only effective for proposals in respect of which voting instructions have been given. The shares for which the proxy has been granted, even partially, are counted for the purpose of duly convening the Shareholders' Meeting. In relation to proposals for which no voting instructions have been given, the shares are instead not counted for the purposes of calculating the majority and capital share required for the approval of resolutions. The notification to the Company made by the intermediary and certifying the entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and to

exercise the right to vote is also required in the event of granting of the proxy to the Designated Representative. Therefore, in the absence of the aforesaid communication, the proxy shall be considered null and void.
