With regard to the audit of the Consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2023, in December 2023 BDO Italia S.p.A. had instead presented a specific offer that envisaged an increase in the remuneration of Euro 5,000.00 for the audit of the Group's Consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023, thus bringing the Auditing Firm's annual remuneration to a total of Euro 50,000.00; after evaluation by the Board of Statutory Auditors, this offer was approved by the Board of Directors held on 22 December 2023.

It should be noted that, since the Company adheres to the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors assesses the possession of the independence requirements also pursuant to said Code and therefore invites the candidates for the office as Statutory Auditor included in the lists to also declare the possession of these latter requirements, as adopted by the Company. In addition to the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors, in its meeting of 14 March 2024, resolved to assess the significance of the relationship between a director/statutory auditor and the Company and/or the Group based on the following qualitative and quantitative criteria:

- (vi) if a list is submitted by Shareholders other than those who hold, even jointly, a controlling or relative majority interest in the Company's share capital, such list must be accompanied by a declaration of the submitting Shareholders, certifying the absence of any connection, even indirect, pursuant to the By-Laws and the laws and regulations in force at the time, with the reference Shareholders;
- (vii) any other or different declaration, information and/or document required by the law, including regulations, in force at the time;
- the lists will be published by the Company at least twenty-one days before the date scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws and Article 144-octies of Consob Regulation No. 11971/1999, as amended and supplemented.
Shareholders are also invited to take into account the "Remarks of the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors" approved on 11 March 2024 by the expiring Board of Statutory Auditors, published on the Company's website (www.civitanavi.com), in the section dedicated to this Shareholders' Meeting.
Finally, it should be noted that, pursuant to Article 144-sexies, paragraph 5, of Consob Regulation No. 11971/1999 and subsequent amendments and additions, in the event that at the end of the twentyfifth day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting only one list has been filed for the appointment of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, or only lists have been presented by Shareholders who, on the basis of the provisions of Article 144-sexies, paragraph 4, of said Regulation, are connected to each other pursuant to Article 144-quinquies of the Regulation itself, lists may be presented up to the third day following the expiry of the aforementioned deadline and the shareholding in the share capital required for the submission of lists is reduced to half (1.25%) of the share capital.
We also invite you to determine – pursuant to Article 2364, paragraph 1, point 3), of the Italian Civil Code – the total annual remuneration due to the Effective Statutory Auditors and the total annual remuneration due to the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, also in light of the "Remarks of the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors" referred to above.
Shareholders are therefore invited, in addition to the presentation of lists for the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as specified above, to formulate proposals for resolutions on the topics under items 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 on the Agenda, based on the following
resolution proposals

7. Proposal to authorize the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, subject to revocation of the authorization granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023 as to the portion not implemented; inherent and consequent resolutions
Dear Shareholders,
First of all, let us recall that by resolution of 27 April 2023, the Shareholders' Meeting authorized the Company to purchase treasury shares, as well as to dispose of all and/or part of the purchased treasury shares without time limits and even before having exhausted the purchases, for a period of 18 months from the date of the same resolution.
By virtue of this authorization, on 5 June 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to initiate, as of the same date, the treasury share purchase program and, as of today, Civitanavi Systems S.p.A. holds 62,650 treasury shares, equal to 0.2% of the share capital.
Since the above authorization will expire on 27 October 2024, in order to avoid the need to call a shareholders' meeting close to said expiry date, for the reasons set forth below we deem it useful to propose that you proceed with a new authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares pursuant to Articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, Article 132 of the TUF and Article 144 bis of the Issuers' Regulation, subject to revocation of the existing authorization for the portion not implemented.
In particular, pursuant to Article 73 of the Issuers' Regulation, the Board of Directors has approved this report, in accordance with Annex 3A, Scheme No. 4, of the aforementioned Issuers' Regulations,

whereby it explains to the shareholders the purpose, manner and characteristics of the requested authorization.
We therefore outline below the modalities and terms of the proposed transaction.
Reasons why authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares is required
The purpose of the request for authorization to purchase and dispose of the Company's treasury ordinary shares is to provide the Company with a useful strategic investment opportunity for any purpose permitted by current regulations, including, among others, (i) the purposes contemplated by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter "MAR"), including the purpose of "fulfilling obligations under share option programs or other grants of shares to employees or members of the issuer's management or supervisory bodies", (ii) the purpose of stabilization, liquidity support and market efficiency, (iii) the purpose of obtaining the availability of a securities portfolio (c.so-called "securities warehouse") to be used as consideration in extraordinary transactions, including in the form of exchange of shareholdings, with other parties, including the allocation to the service of bonds convertible into shares of the Company or bonds with warrants, dividends in shares, all of the above under the terms, purposes and in the manner that may be resolved by the competent corporate bodies; as well as (iv) any other purpose contemplated by the market practices from time to time permitted by the supervisory authority pursuant to Article 13 MAR, all of the above within the limits provided for by the regulations in force and within the terms, purposes and in the manner that may be decided by the competent corporate bodies.
Maximum number, category and par value of shares to which the authorization refers
It is proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting authorize the purchase of (fully paid-up) ordinary shares, with no par value, of the Company, on one or more occasions, including on a revolving basis, in an amount freely determinable by the Board of Directors up to a maximum number that, taking into account the Company's (treasury) shares held from time to time in its portfolio by the Company and by, if any, its subsidiaries, does not exceed a total of 20% of the Company's total share capital.
Therefore, it is proposed to mandate the Board of Directors to identify the amount of ordinary shares to be purchased prior to the start of each individual purchase program, subject to the above maximum limit and applicable pro tempore regulations.
It is also proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting simultaneously authorize the Board of Directors of Civitanavi also to dispose of and dispose of the ordinary shares of the Company purchased in the manner indicated below and in any case in compliance with the relevant provisions of law and regulations.
Useful information for the purpose of a full assessment of compliance with Article 2357, paragraphs 1 and 3 of the Italian Civil Code
Pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the par value of the treasury shares that the Company may purchase may not exceed one-fifth of the share capital, taking into account for this purpose also the shares held by subsidiaries.
As at 14 March 2024, Civitanavi's subscribed and paid-up share capital amounted to Euro 4,244,000.00 and was represented by 30,760,000 shares all with no indication of par value, listed on the Euronext Milan market, organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

Pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, treasury shares may be purchased within the limits of distributable profits and available reserves as shown in the latest duly approved financial statements at the time each transaction is carried out. Only fully paid shares may be purchased.
It should be noted that in the draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting convened in a single call on 24 April 2024 (assuming its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting under the terms proposed by the Board of Directors), available reserves in the amount of Euro 32,731,649.00, of which freely distributable in the amount of Euro 10,623,383.00, are recorded. It is understood that compliance with the conditions required by Article 2357, paragraphs 1 and 3, of the Italian Civil Code for the purchase of treasury shares must be verified at the time of the completion of each authorized purchase having also to consider the additional unavailability constraints that have arisen subsequently.
To enable audits of subsidiaries, specific directives will be issued to them to promptly notify the Company of any purchase of shares of the parent company made pursuant to Article 2359-bis of the Italian Civil Code.
It should be noted that in connection with transactions involving the purchase, sale, exchange, and contribution of treasury shares, the Company, in compliance with applicable legal provisions and accounting standards, will make the necessary or appropriate accounting entries.
Duration of authorization
Authorization for the purchase of treasury shares is requested for the maximum duration allowed by the applicable regulations in force from time to time, provided for in Article 2357, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, over a period of 18 months, starting from the date of any resolution of approval of this proposal by the Shareholders' Meeting.
Within the term of the authorization that may be granted, the Board of Directors may then make purchases of ordinary shares on one or more occasions and at any time, for the purposes it identifies, in an amount and at a time freely determined, in compliance with applicable regulations, with the gradualness deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company.
On the other hand, authorization for the disposition and/or use of any treasury shares purchased is requested without time limits, due to the absence of time limits under current regulations and the advisability of allowing the Board of Directors to avail itself of maximum flexibility, including in terms of timing, to carry out the acts of disposition and/or use of the shares.
Minimum and maximum price
The purchase price of the shares will be identified on a case-by-case basis, having regard to the method chosen for carrying out the transaction and in compliance with any prescriptions provided for by the regulations in force, but, in any event, without prejudice to the fact that the unit price shall be neither lower nor higher by more than 15% with respect to the official stock market price of the shares recorded by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the trading session preceding each individual transaction, and in any event for a maximum countervalue not exceeding the legal limits.
For the disposition and/or use of treasury shares, the Board shall establish from time to time the criteria for determining the price and/or the methods, terms and conditions of use of the treasury shares in the portfolio, having regard to the implementation methods to be used in practice, as well

as the trend of share prices in the period prior to the transaction and the best interest of the Company, in any case in accordance with the provisions of the laws and regulations and, where applicable, the accepted practices. In particular, in the event of (i) the execution of transactions in relation to which it is appropriate to exchange or dispose of shares to be carried out also by way of exchange or contribution or on the occasion of capital transactions involving the assignment or disposition of treasury shares (such as, purely by way of example, mergers, demergers, issuance of convertible bonds or warrants serviced by treasury shares, dividends in shares etc.); and (ii) share incentive plans, including also by means of stock grants or stock options also with free assignment, reserved for directors and/or employees and/or collaborators of the Company and/or other companies controlled by it and/or the parent company may be used different criteria, in line with the purposes pursued and in compliance with the laws, including regulations, in force.
The Board of Directors proposes that it be authorized to sell, dispose of and/or use, pursuant to Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, for any reason and at any time, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, the treasury shares acquired in implementation of the authorization that may be granted by the Shareholders' Meeting, for the purposes indicated above, in accordance with the modalities, terms and conditions determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, having regard to the methods of implementation actually employed, the price trend of the Company's stock and the best interests of the Company, it being understood that the proceeds of any act of disposition and/or use of treasury shares may be used for further purchases of shares, until the expiration of the requested authorization of the Shareholders' Meeting, within the limits provided for therein and by the regulations in force.
Method of carrying out transactions
In view of the various purposes that can be pursued through the completion of transactions in treasury shares, the Board of Directors proposes that authorization be granted to carry out purchases of treasury shares in any of the ways permitted by current regulations.
With regard to transactions involving the sale, disposition and/or use of treasury shares, the Board of Directors proposes that the authorization allows the adoption of any method that may be appropriate depending on the purposes pursued – including the use of treasury shares to serve share incentive plans, including stock grants and stock options – to be carried out also through intermediaries, in compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions on the subject.
In particular, with regard to the operational methods of disposition and/or use, the same could be put in place, by way of example only, by means of sale of the same on the market, or otherwise off the market, accelerated bookbuilding, exchange or contribution or on the occasion of capital transactions or attribution, including free of charge, as part of share incentive plans or the transfer of any real and/or personal rights relating to the same (including, by way of example only, purely by way of example, securities lending), granting the Board of Directors (or on its behalf delegated to it) the power to establish, in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions, the terms, methods and conditions of the act of disposition and/or use of treasury shares deemed most appropriate in the interest of the Company.
Transactions involving the purchase, disposition and/or use of treasury shares for which authorization is requested will be carried out in compliance with applicable regulations and, in particular, in accordance with national and EU laws and regulations, including those on market abuse.
This is without prejudice to the power of the Board of Directors to also establish any arrangements in accordance with market practices permitted by the supervisory authority under Article 13 MAR

as well as the conditions set forth in Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 1052 of 8 March 8 2016, where and to the extent applicable.
Adequate disclosure will be provided of any transactions involving the purchase and disposition and/or use of treasury shares in compliance with applicable disclosure requirements.
Information on the instrumentality of the purchase to the reduction of share capital
It should be noted that this proposed purchase is not instrumental to the reduction of the share capital, it being understood that if in the future the shareholders' meeting resolves to reduce the share capital, the Company reserves the right to implement it also through cancellation of the purchased treasury shares held in its portfolio.

Considering that:

- a) the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements for each of the six financial years ending 31 December 2024 to 31 December 2029, of Civitanavi Systems S.p.A.

- I. statutory audit pursuant to Article 14 of Legislative Decree No. 39 of 27 January 2010 of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements for each of the six financial years ending 31 December 2024 to 31December 2029;

- the offer examined provides for the fees for each financial year included in the mandate plus out-ofpocket and/or incidental expenses, contributions (Social Security Funds, Supervisory Authority) VAT and adjustment according to the change in the ISTAT cost-of-living index as from the revision of the financial statements as at 31 December 2026 - against the estimated number of hours, as follows:
| Financial years | Estimated hours/ Financial year |
Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2024 | 720 | 50,000 |
| 31 December 2025 | 910 | 66,000 |
| 31 December 2026-31 December 2029 |

- this recommendation has not been influenced by third parties and there are no clauses intended to limit the decision of the shareholders' meeting;
