The Plan provides for the attainment of a Target on which each Participant's right to vest Options is conditional.
2.3 Criteria for determining the number of shares to be allocated
On the Grant Date, the Board of Directors of the Company will determine the number of Options to be granted to each Participant.
The number of Options to be granted to each Participant is defined at the discretion of the Board of Directors, taking into account the Participant's professional capacity and potential, the ability to contribute to the development of the company's business, taking into account the experience and competence held in the organisational sphere, as well as the related loyalty requirements.
In identifying the Participants, the Board of Directors will work in consultation with the Remuneration Committee.
2.4 Reasons for any decision to award compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the Company
Not applicable, as the Plan provides for the Participant the right to receive (free of charge) Options granting the right to subscribe or purchase Shares.
2.5 Consideration of significant tax and accounting implications
As of the date of this Information Document, the Company is not aware of any significant accounting and tax implications that have affected the definition of the Plan.

3. Approval process and timing for the allocation of instruments.
3.1 Powers and functions delegated by the Shareholders' Meeting to the Board of Directors for the implementation of the Plan
On 16 March 2023, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to submit for approval to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting the proposal to grant the Board of Directors a proxy to increase the share capital pursuant to Article 2441, paragraphs 5 and 8, of the Italian Civil Code, with the exclusion of pre-emptive rights, for a total amount (including share premium), of a maximum of Euro 8,000,000.00 (eight million/00), by issuing, in one or more instalments, a maximum of 1,300,000 newly issued ordinary shares, without par value, to be reserved for the Participants.

This is without prejudice to the right of the Board of Directors, after consulting the Remuneration Committee, to use as Shares to service the exercise of the Options any Shares held by the Company and purchased in the context of buy-back programmes resolved and executed pursuant to applicable provisions of law.
The Shareholders' Meeting will therefore be called upon to resolve, in ordinary session, on the approval of the Plan, as well as, in extraordinary session, on the conferral to the Board of Directors of any power necessary or appropriate to fully and completely implement the Plan.
3.2 Persons entrusted with the administration of the Plan
Responsibility for implementing the Plan will lie with the Board of Directors, which will be entrusted by the Shareholders' Meeting with the operational management, practical implementation and administration of the Plan, with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee.

Without prejudice to the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company in the cases established by law, the Board of Directors may amend the Plan in order to replace the null, invalid or ineffective provisions with other valid and effective provisions having similar effects to the null, invalid or ineffective ones, in order to keep the essential substantive and economic contents of the Plan as unchanged as much as possible, in compliance with the objectives and purposes pursued by the same and the economic and financial rights recognised by the same.
In the event that, as a result of amendments to rules or regulations or changes in their interpretation or application, the implementation of the Plan entails substantially higher taxes, higher social security costs or charges of any other nature for the Company or the Participants, the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Remuneration Committee, shall have the right to unilaterally amend the terms of the Regulations, including the right to cancel the Plan or to revoke it by giving adequate notice to the Participants.
3.4 Ways of Determining the Availability and Allocation of Shares
The Plan provides for the free assignment to Participants of Options valid for the subscription and purchase of Company Shares, in the ratio of no. 1 (one) Share for every no. 1 (one) Option exercised.
The maximum total number of Shares to be allocated to Participants for the execution of the Plan is set at 1,300,000.
The Exercise of the Options will be subject to the payment of the Exercise Price, as determined pursuant to paragraph 4.19 below.
The Board of Directors, which, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting, may exercise its authorisation to increase the share capital granted pursuant to Article 2441, paragraphs 5 and 8 of the Italian Civil Code, by increasing the Company's share capital, for consideration and excluding option rights, within the final term of 31 December 2029, on one or more occasions, for a maximum amount (including share premium) of €8,000,000.00 (eight million/00), through the issue of a maximum of 1,300,000 newly issued ordinary shares, without par value (the 'Capital Increase'), with no indication of par value, by means of the issue of a maximum of 1,300,000 new ordinary shares, with no indication of par value (the 'Shares Increase'), with no indication of par value, with no indication of capital value, by 31 December 2029.000,000.00 (eight million/00), through the issue of a maximum of 1,300,000 newly issued ordinary shares, with no indication of nominal value (the 'Capital

Increase'), having the same characteristics as the ordinary shares in circulation at the issue date, with regular enjoyment, to be reserved for subscription by the Participants.
For further information on the Capital Increase at the service of the Plan, please refer to the illustrative report prepared pursuant to Article 72 and Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation, which will be made available to the public within the terms of law by means of publication on the Company's website www.civitanavi.it, in the 'Governance/Shareholders' Meeting' Section, as well as at the authorised storage mechanism 'eMarket Storage', at least 21 days before the date scheduled for the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Plan.
The Company will make available to the Participant the Options to which he is entitled according to the terms and conditions established in the Rules.
3.5 Role played by each Director in determining the characteristics of the Plan; possible occurrence of conflict of interest situations
The features of the Plan, to be submitted to the approval of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, were determined collectively by the Board of Directors, which approved to submit to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting the proposal to adopt the Plan, with the abstention of any directors included among the Participants, after hearing the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee.

incumbent on the Company, so as to ensure transparency and parity of information to the market, as well as in compliance with the internal procedures adopted by the Company.
The violation ascertained in the case of each Participant, even if not definitive on the basis of a sanction issued by the competent supervisory authorities or on the basis of a first-degree judgement, possibly also following agreement of the penalty, of conduct classifiable as 'abuse of privileged information' or 'market manipulation' within the meaning of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Internal Dealing Procedure adopted by Civitanvi shall result in the automatic exclusion of the Participant from the Plan and the forfeiture of the unexercised Options allocated to him.

- In the event of a Termination of the Relationship in respect of a Bad Leaver prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant will definitively lose the right to exercise the Options; in his possession.

It is understood that (i) the natural expiry of the office of director followed by immediate and uninterrupted renewal shall not be deemed to be a termination of the Relationship; and (ii) the Grantee's right to exercise any vested and exercisable Options shall in any event remain suspended from the time of the sending of any letter of disciplinary notice and until the conclusion of the disciplinary proceedings.
Finally, it is understood that in the event of a transfer of the Relationship from the Company to another company of the Group and/or in the event of termination of the Relationship and simultaneous establishment of a new Relationship within the Group, the Beneficiary shall retain, mutatis mutandis, all the rights attributed to him/her by the Rules.
The Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, also has the power to allow Participants to exercise Options that have accrued and can be exercised in the event of consensual termination of the Relationship by mutual agreement between the parties.
In the event of a Change of Control during the period of validity of the Plan, the Beneficiary is granted, alternatively, the right to continue its participation in the Plan with the terms, conditions and terms of the same, or to exercise in advance all the Options granted, even if
