The motion for the adoption of the 2021 Plan has been submitted by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation and Nominating Committee.
With reference to the incentivizing remuneration based on stock options plans, it should be also noted that the adoption of remuneration plans based on shares is consistent with the principles included in the "Compensation Policy" adopted by the Company, as described in the Report on the compensation policy and fees paid pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF, available on the Company's website www.diasoringroup.com (Section "Governance/Governance Documents").
2. Subject and Implementation Method of the 2021 Plan
The 2021 Plan calls for free grants, to each of the beneficiaries identified within the categories of recipients listed in Section 3 below (hereinafter the "Beneficiary/ies"), of options (hereinafter the "Options") that convey to the Beneficiary the right to buy common treasury shares held by the Company, based on the ratio of 1 share for each exercised Option, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, at a price that will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the Option grant, in an amount that shall not be less than the simple average of the official prices at which the DiaSorin common shares are traded on the Online Stock Market organized and operated by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. during the period between the Option Grant Date (as defined below) and the same day of the previous calendar month (hereinafter the "Exercise Price").
We recommend that 300.000 DiaSorin common shares be available for allotment to the Beneficiaries in implementation of the 2021 Plan.
For the purpose of implementing the 2021 Plan, the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting (convened for April 22, 2021 on the first calling and April 23, 2021 on the second calling) will be asked to approve, as the 4 th item on the Agenda, a motion to authorize the Board of Directors to execute transactions to buy and dispose of treasury shares, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2357 and Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code and Article 132 of the TUF and related implementation provisions, reserved for use, among others, in connection with the 2021 Plan. For additional information, please consult the relevant explanatory report prepared in accordance

with Article 73 of the Issuers' Regulations, which was made available to the public within the deadline and in the manner required pursuant to law.
As for the date of this report, the Company held No. 1,183,812 treasury shares, equal to 2.115% of the share capital. None of its subsidiaries held DiaSorin shares.
The Options awarded under the 2021 Plan will convey to the Beneficiaries the right to acquire 300.000 common shares, at the Exercise Price, based on a ratio of 1 share for each awarded exercised Option, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, as explained below.
The Company will make available to the Beneficiaries the shares they are entitled to receive following the exercise of their Options within and not later than 10 (ten) business days after the end of the calendar month during which the Options were exercised. The shares attributable to the Beneficiaries following the exercise of the Option shall have the same ranking for dividends as the Company's common shares on the date of purchase and shall carry the coupons in effect as of that date.
The 2021 Plan does not receive support from the Special Fund to Incentivize Employee Company Stock Ownership referred to in Article 4, Section 112, of Law No. 350 of December 24, 2003.
3. Beneficiaries of the 2021 Plan
The 2021 Plan is addressed to parties who, on the Option grant date (the "Grant Date") have a permanent employment relationship with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (or anyway a comparable relationship under the legislation from time to time applicable to the Company or to one of its Subsidiaries).
On each Grant Date, the Board of Directors will designate the individual Beneficiaries, within the abovementioned categories, and determine the number of Options awarded to each Beneficiary, taking into account the number, category, organizational level, responsibilities and professional competencies of the Beneficiaries.
The Board of Directors may delegate its powers, tasks and responsibilities in connection with the execution and implementation of the 2021 Plan, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Deputy Chairman and/or DiaSorin's Chief Executive Officer, acting jointly or severally, it being understood that the Board of Directors shall have sole jurisdiction over any decision related to and/or concerning a grant of Option to a Beneficiary who is also the Chairman and/or Deputy Chairman and/or DiaSorin's Chief Executive Officer (as well as over any other decision related and/or pertaining to the management and/or implementation of the 2021 Plan concerning the abovementioned parties).
Consistent with the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code issued by the Corporate Governance Committee and with the Compensation Policy adopted by the Company, the Compensation and Nominating Committee provides consulting support and makes recommendations with regard to the implementation of the 2021 Plan.
An ongoing employment relationship with DiaSorin or a Subsidiary is an eligibility requirement for the 2021 Plan.
Specifically, under the 2021 Plan, if the employment relationship is ended as a result of a bad leaver situation before the exercise of the Options, all Options awarded to the Beneficiary shall lapse and shall become null and void, thereby releasing the Company from any obligation or liability. Bad leaver refers to situations when the employment relationship is ended due to:
(i) firing of a Beneficiary for cause or: (a) violation by the Beneficiary of the laws governing employment relationships; (b) criminal conviction of the Beneficiary of a crime resulting from a malicious or negligent act;

(ii) resignation by the Beneficiary not justified by the occurrence of (a) withdrawal from the employment relationship due to a Beneficiary's physical or mental disability (caused by illness or accident) resulting in inability to work for more than 6 (six) months; (b) death of the Beneficiary.
If the employment relationship is ended as a result of a good leaver situation, the Beneficiary will retain the right to exercise his/her awarded Options proportionately to the length of his/her employment after the Grant Date, as against the length of time running between the Grant Date and the initial Option exercise date. Options that are not exercisable shall become void automatically, thereby releasing the Company from any obligation or liability.
Good leaver refers to situations when the employment relationship is ended due to:
(i) firing without cause;
(ii) withdrawal from the employment relationship due to a Beneficiary's physical or mental disability (caused by illness or accident) resulting in inability to work for more than 6 (six) months;
(iii) death of the Beneficiary;
(iv) retirement of the Beneficiary;
(iv) loss of the status of Subsidiary by the company employing the Beneficiary.
4. Duration of the 2021 Plan and Exercise of the Options
The Options awarded to a Beneficiary may be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the 2021 Plan Regulations, whose adoption will be delegated to the Board of Directors, and the corresponding option contract.
Under the 2021 Plan, (i) Options may be awarded to Beneficiaries identified by the Board of Directors over a period of three years from the date when the 2021 Plan Regulations are approved and (ii) Options are exercisable during the exercise periods defined in the 2021 Plan Regulations and/or the option contract, it being understood that awarded Options may not be exercised for a three-years period following the Grant Date.
Without prejudice to the exercise procedure indicated above, Beneficiaries are entitled to early exercise the Options when specific events occur, including:
-
change of control, pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, even if it does not require the obligation to launch a takeover bid;
-
launch of a takeover bid on the Company shares pursuant to Articles 102 et seq. of the TUF; or
-
resolution of transactions that may result in the delisting of DiaSorin ordinary shares.
Under the 2021 Plan, the exercise of the Options by the Beneficiaries shall be suspended during the period:
- between the day of any meeting of the Board of Directors held with the purpose of approving a resolution to convene a Shareholders' Meeting called to approve (i) the statutory financial statements and at the same time the proposal to distribute dividends or (ii) the proposal to distribute special dividends; and
- the day when the Shareholders' Meeting in question is held.
In case the Shareholders' Meeting resolves upon the distribution of a dividend or special dividend, the suspension period will anyway expire the day after the relevant coupon date.
The Board of Directors shall also have the right to suspend the Beneficiaries' right to exercise their Options during certain periods of the year, or to anyway allow the exercise of the Options

if this responds to the best execution of the 2021 Plan, in the interests of the Company and of the Beneficiaries.
5. Restrictions on the Transfer of Options
Options are awarded on a personal basis and may be exercised exclusively by the Beneficiaries. Unless the Board of Directors resolves otherwise and except for the provisions applicable in the event of interruption of an employment relationship (including transfers due to death), Options may not be transferred or negotiated, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Beneficiary and/or provided as collateral both as a result of a contract or pursuant to law.
There are no restrictions on the transfer of Company ordinary shares acquired through the exercise of the Options.

2. REASONS FOR ADOPTING THE PLAN
2.1 Objectives pursued through the adoption of the Plan
The reason for and the objectives of the Plan are creation of value for the shareholders and retention of key executives and high-potential employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Plan is to continue the policy of incentivizing and increasing the loyalty of key Group executives by making them feel part of the Company's ownership base, thereby helping retain within the Group their specific competencies by allowing them to share in the Company's profits and future growth. The Plan's Beneficiaries will be key of DIASORIN and its subsidiaries, identified by the Board from time to time.
With reference to the incentivizing remuneration based on stock options plans, it should be also noted that the adoption of remuneration plans based on shares is consistent with the recommendations set forth in Article 6 of the Corporate Governance Code issued by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and with the principles included in the "Compensation Policy" adopted by the Company, as described in the Report on compensation and fees paid, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF, available on the Company's website www.diasoringroup.com (Section Governance/Governance Documents)
2.1.1 Additional information

Under the Plan, (i) Options may be awarded to Beneficiaries identified over a period of three years from the date when the Plan regulations are approved and (ii) Options are exercisable during the exercise periods defined in the Plan Regulations and/or the Option Contract, it being understood that awarded Options may not be exercised for a period of three years following the Grant Date. This length of time was deemed to be the most suitable for achieving the Plan's incentivizing and employee loyalty objectives. Further information is provided in Section 4.2 below.
The Plan does not call for a predetermined ratio between the number of Options awarded to a single Beneficiary and the overall compensation received by that Beneficiary.
2.2 Key variables, including performance indicators used to determine grants under plans based on financial instruments
Options are awarded to the Beneficiaries free of charge and the right to exercise those options is not tied to the achievement of specific performance targets.
2.2.1 Additional information
Not applicable. Options are awarded to the Beneficiaries free of charge and the right to exercise those options is not tied to the achievement of specific performance targets.
2.3 Elements used to determine the amount of compensation based on financial instruments, or criteria for its computation
The number of options awarded to each beneficiary is determined by the Board on each occasion, taking into account the number, category, organizational level, responsibilities and professional competencies of the Beneficiaries.
2.3.1 Additional information
The number of options awarded to each Beneficiary shall be determined taking into accounts factors specified in Section 2.3 above.
2.4 If applicable, reasons for the decision to offer a compensation plan based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of financial instruments, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries, controlling companies or companies outside the issuer's group; if the abovementioned instruments are not traded on a regulated market, information about the criteria used to determine the value assigned to them
Not applicable, because the Plan is based on grants of Options that convey the right to acquire through subscription Company Shares.
2.5 Considerations about significant tax and accounting effects that affected the design of the plans
There were no significant tax and accounting effects that affected the design of the Plan.
2.6 If available, support of the plan by the Special Fund to Incentivize Employee Company Stock Ownership referred to in Article 4, Section 112, of Law No. 350 of December 24, 2003

The Plan does not receive support from the Special Fund to Incentivize Employee Company Stock Ownership referred to in Article 4, Section 112, of Law No. 350 of December 24, 2003.
3. APPROVAL PROCESS AND TIMING OF OPTION GRANTS
3.1 Scope of the powers and functions delegated by the Shareholders' Meeting to the Board of Directors for plan implementation purposes
On March 11, 2021 the Board of Directors, with the abstention of the directors concerned and upon recommendation of the Compensation and Nominating Committee, resolved to submit to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting the approval of the Plan for the award to the beneficiaries of 300,000 Options valid to buy 300,000 Shares.
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting is called to resolve, in addition to the approval of the Plan, the granting to the Board of any and all powers that may be necessary or appropriate to implement the Plan, including, the following non-exhaustive list being provided merely by way of example, all powers to adopt the Plan regulations, designate the Beneficiaries and determine how many options should be awarded to each Beneficiary, proceed with the granting of Options to the Beneficiaries, determine the Exercise Price of the Options and carry out all acts, required activities, formalities and communications that may be necessary or appropriate for the purpose of managing and/or implementing the Plan, with the option of delegating its powers, tasks and responsibilities in connection with the execution and implementation of the Plan, as explained in Section 3.2 below.
3.2 Designation of the parties responsible for managing the plan and their functions and competencies
The responsibility to execute the Plan will be granted to the Board, which will be empowered by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting for the management and implementation of the Plan.
Under the Plan, the Board may delegate its powers, tasks and responsibilities in connection with the execution and implementation of the Plan to the Chairman of the Board, the Deputy Chairman and/or the Chief Executive Officer, acting jointly or severally. In such a case, all reference to the Board contained in the Plan shall be construed as referring to the Chairman of the Board, the Deputy Chairman and/or the Chief Executive Officer, it being understood that the Board of Directors shall have sole jurisdiction over any decision related to and/or concerning a grant of Option to a Beneficiary who is also the Chairman and/or Deputy Chairman and/or DIASORIN's Chief Executive Officer, as well as over any other decision related and/or pertaining to the management and/or implementation of the Plan concerning the abovementioned parties.
Consistent with the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code and with the Compensation Policy adopted by the Company, the Compensation and Nominating Committee provides consulting support and makes recommendations with regard to the implementation of the Plan.
3.3 Any existing procedures for the revision of plans, including those applicable in connection with changes in the basic objectives
The Board will be granted with the powers to amend or modify the Plan regulations (once it has been approved), in the most appropriate manners, as it deems useful or necessary for a better achievement of the Objectives of the Plan, having regard for the interest of the Beneficiaries.

The right to exercise the Options is not tied to the achievement of specific performance targets and, therefore, there are no procedures for revising the Plan due to changes in the basic objectives. See Section 4.23 for additional information.
3.4 Description of the method used to determine the availability and grants of the financial instruments on which the plans are based
The Plan calls for awarding to the Beneficiaries Options valid to buy Company treasury shares, on the basis of 1 Share for each Options exercised. The maximum number of Shares that may be allocated to the Beneficiaries to implement the Plan is 300,000 Shares.
To this end, on March 11, 2021 the Board agreed, among others, with the abstention of the directors concerned, to submit to the Ordinary Shareholders' meeting a motion authorizing it to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2357 and Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code and Article 132 of the TUF and related implementation provisions.
The purpose of the request for the authorization to buy and dispose of treasury shares is to allow the Board to have access to treasury shares needed to implement the 2021 Plan; the authorization is being requested to purchase, in one or more instalments, up to 300.000 Company common shares with a par value of 1 (one) euro each, equal to 0.536% of the Company's share capital.
The Company shall make available to the Beneficiaries the shares they are entitled to receive following the exercise of their Options within and not later than 10 (ten) business days after the end of the calendar month during which the options were exercised.
3.5 Role played by each Director in determining the characteristics of the abovementioned plans; existence of any conflicts of interest affecting interested Directors
The features of the Plan to be approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting within the meaning and for the purposes of art. 114-bis of the TUF, have been determined collectively by the Board, with the abstention of the directors concerned, upon recommendation of the Compensation and Nominating Committee, who met on March 2, 2021.
It should also be noted that the motion for the adoption of the Plan is in line with the compensation policy adopted by the Company.
3.6 For the purposes of complying with the requirements of Article 84-bis, Section 1, date of the decision adopted by the governance body authorized to recommend the approval of plans to the Shareholders' Meeting and any recommendations submitted to the abovementioned body by the Compensation Committee
The Board, with the abstention of the directors concerned, approved the Plan on March 11, 2021, upon a recommendation of the Compensation and Nominating Committee.
3.7 For the purposes of complying with the requirements of Article 84-bis, Section 5, Letter a), date of the decision adopted by the governance body authorized to award grants of financial instruments and any recommendations submitted to the abovementioned body by the Compensation Committee
Not applicable because, as of the date of this Information Memorandum, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting has not yet approved the Plan.

3.8 Market price on the abovementioned dates of the financial instruments on which the plan is based, if traded on regulated markets
Not applicable because, as of the date of this Information Memorandum, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting has not yet approved the Plan.
3.9 In the case of plans based on financial instruments traded on regulated markets, when deciding the timing of grants of securities in implementation of a plan, on what basis and in which manner does the issuer take into account potential timing overlap of:
(i) the abovementioned grant or decisions made in this regard by the Compensation Committee, with
(ii) the dissemination of material information, pursuant to Article 17 of EU Regulation no. 596/2014; for example, when such information:
a. is not yet public and could have a positive impact on market prices; or
b. has already been published and could have a negative impact on market prices.
The length of the time period chosen to compute the Exercise Price, as shown in Section 4.19 below, is sufficient to ensure that the grant is not significantly affected by the potential dissemination of material information, pursuant to Article 17 of EU Regulation no. 596/2014.
Under the Plan, the exercise of the Options by the Beneficiaries shall be suspended during the period:
- between the day of any meeting of the Board of Directors held with the purpose of approving a resolution to convene a Shareholders' Meeting called to approve (i) the statutory financial statements and at the same time the proposal to distribute dividends or (ii) the proposal to distribute special dividends; and
- the day when the Shareholders' Meeting in question is held.
In case the Shareholders' Meeting resolves upon the distribution of a dividend or special dividend, the suspension period will anyway expire the day after the relevant coupon date.
The Board of Directors shall also have the right to suspend the Beneficiaries' right to exercise their Options during certain periods of the year, or to anyway allow the exercise of the Options if this responds to the best execution of the Plan, in the interests of the Company and of the Beneficiaries.
4. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AWARDED INSTRUMENTS
4.1 Description of how compensation plans based on financial instruments are structured
The Plan calls for the award, free of charge, of Options that can be used subsequently, on predetermined terms, to purchase Shares with settlement against physical delivery. Therefore, these are stock options.
Each awarded Option conveys the Beneficiary the right to purchase no. 1 (one) Share, with regular dividend, upon payment of the Exercise Price to the Company.
4.2 Indication of the plan's actual implementation period, with mention of any different cycles, if applicable
The Plan calls for the award to the beneficiaries of 300,000 Options valid to buy 300,000 Shares.

Under the Plan, Options may be awarded to Beneficiaries identified by the Board over a period of three years from the date when the Plan Regulations are approved. Options are exercisable during the exercise periods defined in the Plan Regulations and/or the individual Option Contract, it being understood that awarded Options may not be exercised for a period of three years following the Grant Date. Therefore, Options will be exercisable during the period between the Initial Exercise Date and the Final Exercise Date, as stated in the individual Option Contract signed by the Company and the Beneficiary. In any case, options must be exercised by the Final Exercise Date.
The Plan calls for early exercise of the Options when specific events occur, including:
-
change of control, pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, even if it does not require the obligation to launch a takeover bid;
-
launch of a takeover bid on the Company shares pursuant to Articles 102 et seq. of the TUF; or
-
resolution of transactions that may result in the delisting of DIASORIN ordinary shares.

Dear Shareholders,
You have been called to an Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to review and approve a motion to authorize the purchase and disposition of common shares of DiaSorin S.p.A. (hereinafter "DiaSorin" or the "Company"), in accordance with the combined provisions of Article 2357 and Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code and Article 132 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (the "Consolidated Law on Finance") and applicable implementation provisions.
1. Reasons for requesting the authorization to buy and dispose of treasury shares.
The request to authorize the purchase and disposition of treasury shares is being made for the purpose of providing the Board of Directors with the treasury shares needed to implement the Company's new stock option plan named "DiaSorin S.p.A. 2021 Stock Option Plan" (the "2021 Plan"), pursuant to which the plan's beneficiaries will be awarded grants of options valid to buy DiaSorin common shares that are already outstanding and are held by the Company as treasury shares.
In particular, the 2021 Plan is intended for executives and key employees of DiaSorin and its subsidiaries designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, calls for the award to the beneficiaries of 300.000 options valid to buy 300.000 DiaSorin common shares held by the Company as treasury shares. Additional information about the motion to establish the 2021 Plan, submitted for approval to the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting (convened for April 22, 2021, on the first calling, and April 23, 2021, on the second calling) as the 3 rd item on the Meeting's Agenda is provided in the explanatory report prepared in accordance with Article 114 bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Information Memorandum of the 2021 Plan prepared in accordance with Article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulations, which have been made available to the public in the manner and by the deadline required pursuant to law.
Given the purpose of the motion to authorize the purchase and disposition of treasury shares related to the 2021 Plan beneficiaries, the transactions involving treasury shares are consistent with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 (the Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter "MAR") and the procedures contemplated under Article 13 of MAR.
2. Maximum number, class and par value of the shares subject of the authorization.
The authorization is being requested to purchase, in one or more instalments, no. 300.000 Company common shares, par value 1 (one) euros each, regular ranking for dividends, equal to 0.536% of the Company's share capital.
3. Useful information for an informed assessment of compliance with the relevant provision of Article 2357, Section 3, of the Italian Civil Code.
As of the date of this Report, DiaSorin's share capital amounted to 55,948,257 euros (fully subscribed and paid-in), comprised of 55,948,257 common shares, par value 1 (one) euro each.
As of the date of this Report, the Company held No. 1.183.812 treasury shares, equal to 2.115% of the share capital. None of its subsidiaries held DiaSorin shares.
The authorization to buy treasury shares is being requested to purchase no. 300.000 common shares, equal to 0.536% of the Company's share capital. This percentage is below the ceiling of

one-fifth of the share capital set forth in Article 2357, Section 3, of the Italian Civil Code, it being understood that, pursuant to Article 2357, Section 1, of the Italian Civil Code, purchases of treasury shares shall be deemed to have been authorized for, and, therefore, held within, an amount that does not exceed the distributable earning and available reserves shown in the latest duly approved financial statements available when the transaction is executed, based on the consideration actually paid by the Company for the abovementioned purchases.
All of the accounting entries required pursuant to law and the applicable accounting principles shall be made in connection with the purchase and disposition of treasury shares.
4. Length of time for which the authorization is being requested.
The authorization to buy treasury shares is being requested for a period of 18 months, counting from the date of the corresponding resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting. The Board of Directors will proceed with the authorized transactions, in one or more instalments and at any time, with different manner and terms, in accordance with the applicable law and with a gradual approach deemed to be beneficial for the Company. The authorization to dispose of the treasury shares is being request without time limit.
5. Consideration for purchases and disposal transactions
5.1. Minimum and maximum consideration for purchases of treasury shares
The Board of Directors recommends that purchases of treasury shares be carried out consistent with conditions for trading set forth in Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2016/1052 (the " Regulation 1052") in implementation of MAR and, therefore, at a price that may not be greater than the price of the latest independent transaction or the price of the highest independent bid available on the trading market where the purchase is being executed, whichever is higher, it being understood that the consideration per share may never be lower by more than 15% or higher by more than 15% than the official price posted for the DiaSorin shares during the stock market trading session that preceded each buy transaction.
5.2. Consideration for disposals of treasury shares
The DiaSorin common shares purchased pursuant to the authorization subject of this motion will be allocated to the beneficiaries who exercise the options awarded to them in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, at a price that will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the option grant, in an amount that shall not be less than the simple average of the official prices at which the DiaSorin common shares traded on the Online Stock Market organized and operated by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. during the period between the option grant date and the same day of the previous calendar month.
Should there be any remaining treasury shares when the 2021 Plan expires (or the Plan is fully utilized or become wholly or partly ineffective), these treasury shares may be destined for other purposes permitted by law, including their use to serve other Stock Option Plans adopted by the Company under the terms and conditions established by the Plans themselves, or may be disposed of through transactions in a regulated market or through other methods of disposition allowed by the applicable regulations, provided that any sale on the regulated market shall not have a price per share lower by more than 15% than the official price posted for the DiaSorin shares during the stock market trading session that preceded each transaction.
6. Methods applied to execute purchases.
The Board of Directors recommends that purchases be executed in accordance with the Issuers' Regulations in implementation of Article 132 of the TUF, in compliance with conditions and

restrictions for trading set forth in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation 1052 and with a gradual approach deemed to be beneficial for the Company.
Acts of disposition involving the treasury shares acquired in the manner described above will be executed through allotment of the shares to beneficiaries of the 2021 Plan, without prejudice to the provisions of Section 5.2 above in relation to any further methods of disposal of treasury shares held in portfolio.
Transactions executed to dispose of treasury shares shall always be carried out in accordance with current laws and regulations governing the execution of transactions involving listed securities, including the procedures contemplated by Consob under Article 13 of MAR, and may be carried out in one or more instalments, with a gradual approach deemed to be beneficial for the Company.
Pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 44-bis, Section 4, of the Issuers' Regulations, the treasury shares purchased by DiaSorin under this authorization to fulfill its obligations arising from the 2021 Plan approved pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance are not excluded from the Company's share capital as basis to determine the major shareholding for the purposes of the regulations about the mandatory public offers to buy, and namely for the purposes of Article 106, Sections 1, 1-bis, 1-ter and 3, letter b), of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

Saluggia, March 11, 2021
For the Board of Directors
The Chairman Gustavo Denegri

Extraordinary Part
Explanatory Report concerning item No. 1 on the Agenda
Proposal to amend the following articles of the Bylaws: Article 3 (Purpose); Article 8 (Shareholders' Meeting); Article 9-bis (Increased voting right); Article 11 (Board of Directors); Article 18 (Board of Statutory Auditors). Related and required resolutions.
Dear Shareholders,
the Board of Directors of DiaSorin S.p.A ("DiaSorin" or the "Company") has convened you in an extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to discuss and resolve on the amendments to the company Bylaws currently in force.
The Explanatory Report of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Report"), drawn up pursuant to article 125-ter of Legislative Decree 58/1998 ("TUF") and article 72 of Consob Regulation no. 11971/1999 ("Issuers' Regulations") in accordance with Annex 3A, scheme 3, of said Issuers' Regulations, aims to present shareholders with the proposed amendments to the Bylaws and the related reasons for such, offering by way of comparison, the current text of articles 3,8,9- bis and, in the adjacent column, the proposed amendments to be made.
1. Proposed amendments to the Bylaws
The Board of Directors proposes to amend the current text of articles 3 (Purpose), 8 (Shareholders' Meeting), 9-bis (Increased voting right), 11 (Board of Directors) and 18 (Board of Statutory Auditors).
The proposed amendments aim, on the one hand, to adjust the Bylaws in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force from time to time on gender balance in relation to the composition of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors and to make it consistent with Consob guidelines on the increased voting right and, on the other hand, to make the Bylaws more functional for the Company's and the Group's current organizational requirements and simplify the procedure for convening the Shareholders' Meeting.
With reference to the amendments to articles 11 and 18 in relation to the regulatory provisions on gender quotas in the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies, it should be noted the entry into force, on 1 January 2020, of the provisions of Law no. 160 of 27 December 2019 ("2020 Budget Law"), which amended articles 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, and 148, paragraph 1-bis, of the TUF on gender balance in the boards of listed companies. With regard to the composition of corporate bodies, before the 2020 Budget Law listed companies had to comply with a gender composition criterion according to which the less represented gender accounted for at least one fifth of the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors for the first term of office, and a third for the following two terms of office. The 2020 Budget Law provided for a different quota reserved for the less represented gender, equal to "at least two-fifths", and also established that this criterion applies for "six consecutive terms" with effect "from the first renewal of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of companied listed on regulated markets following the date of entry into force of this Law", which occurred on 1 January 2020.
According to Article 144-undecies.1 of the Issuers' Regulations, if the application of the gender distribution criterion does not result in a whole number of members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors belonging to the less represented gender, this number is rounded up to the next higher unit, with the exception of the corporate bodies made up of three members whose number is rounded down.
1.1. Amendment to Article 3 of DiaSorin's Bylaws
It is proposed to amend Article 3 of the Bylaws relating to the corporate purpose, specifying that the exercise of the activities envisaged by the current corporate purpose may occur either directly or indirectly

through the company's subsidiaries. The amendment does not entail a change in DiaSorin's corporate purpose in terms of business, product and service sector in which the Company currently operates but it explicitly clarifies the possibility that the Company carries out the activities aimed at achieving the corporate purpose also indirectly through its subsidiaries, as is already the case with the activities carried out through foreign subsidiaries.
The proposed amendment is intended to explain the statutory clause relating to the corporate purpose and to improve the organization of the Group structure.
1.2. Amendment to Article 8 of DiaSorin's Bylaws
It is proposed to amend article 8 of the Bylaws relating to the Shareholders' Meeting, providing that the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders 'meeting are convened in a single call, it being understood that if the Board of Directors deems it appropriate, the notice convening either the ordinary or the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting may also indicate the day of the second or third call.
The proposed amendment is intended to make the Bylaws provision consistent with Article 2369 of the Civil code and facilitate the proceedings of the Shareholders' Meeting in a single call.
1.3. Amendment to Article 9-bis of DiaSorin's Bylaws
It is proposed to amend article 9-bis of the Bylaws relating to increased voting right at the Shareholders' Meeting.
The amendment provides that the increased voting right will be automatic upon the occurrence of the conditions provided for in the Bylaws (after twenty-four months of uninterrupted ownership of the shares), without the statement concerning the permanence of the registration in the appropriate register by the intermediary with which the shares are registered must be requested by the holder of the shares for recognition of the right. The increased voting right will be effective as from the first date between : (i) the fifth trading day of the calendar month following the month in which the conditions required by the Bylaws for the increased voting right are met; or (ii) the date provided pursuant to Article 83-sexies, paragraph 2, of the Legislative Decree 58/1998 (record date) for the participation at a Shareholders' Meeting following the date in which the conditions required by the Bylaws for the increased voting right are met.
The amendment is intended to make the provisions relating to the increased voting right consistent with Consob guideline no. 0214548 of 18 April 2019.
1.4. Amendment to Article 11 of DiaSorin's Bylaws
It is proposed to amend Article 11 of the Bylaws relating to the percentages that legitimize the submission of the slates and the composition of the slates in order to comply with the regulations concerning gender balance in the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies.
The first amendment provides that slates of candidates may be filed only by shareholders who, alone or jointly with others, represent a percentage of the share capital subscribed at the time the slates are submitted, that is at least equal to the percentage established and published by Consob pursuant to the Issuers' Regulations. Such percentage will be communicated in the notice convening the Shareholders' Meeting. Previously, the fixed percentage of the share capital was 2.5%. The proposed amendment is intended to make the statutory provision consistent with the relevant Consob provisions.
The second amendment provides that slates filed with a number equal to or with more than 3 candidates shall be composed of candidates belonging to both genders, according to the provisions of the notice convening the Shareholders' Meeting, in order to comply with the provisions in force from time to time on gender balance within the Board of Directors. The proposed amendment is intended to amend the Bylaws according to the recent regulatory changes on gender balance within the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies and to ensure that the Bylaws are always consistent with the regulatory provisions from time to time in force.
1.5. Amendment to Article 18 of DiaSorin's Bylaws

It is proposed to amend Article 18 of the Bylaws relating to the percentages that legitimize the submission and the composition of the slates in order to comply with the regulations concerning gender balance in the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies.
The first amendment provides that slates of candidates may be filed only by shareholders who, alone or jointly with others, represent a percentage of the share capital subscribed at the time the slates are submitted, that is at least equal to the percentage established by the Bylaws to submit the slates for the appointment of the members of the Board of Directors. Previously, the fixed percentage of the share capital was 2.5%. The proposed amendment is intended to make the statutory provision consistent with the relevant Consob provisions.
The second amendment provides that the slates filed with a number equal to or with more than 3 candidates shall be composed of candidates belonging to both genders so that the first two candidates for the post of Statutory Auditor and the first two candidates for the post of Alternates belong to different genders, in compliance with the regulations on gender balance within the Board of Statutory Auditors. The proposed amendment is intended to amend the Bylaws according to the recent regulatory changes on gender balance within the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies.

3. Assessment on the application of the right of withdrawal
The aforementioned proposed amendments to the Bylaws do not give rise to the right of withdrawal, as provided for by article 2437 of the Italian Civil Code, for shareholders who did not concur to the approval of the resolutions covered by this Explanatory Report.
With particular reference to the amendment to article 3 relating to the corporate purpose, the proposed amendment does not integrate the circumstances provided for under article 2437, first paragraph, lett. a), of the Civil code, as said amendment does not entail a change in DiaSorin's corporate purpose, understood as business sector (products and services) in which the Company currently operates, but it simply specifies that the Company can exercise its activities in the same business sector indirectly, through its subsidiaries, as is already the case with foreign subsidiaries; therefore, this amendment does not entail a significant change in the Company's business.

aforementioned article, as shown in the comparison table of the Board of Directors' explanatory report.
6. grant the Board of Directors and on its behalf the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, acting separately and with the power to further delegate, the fullest powers, without exception, as necessary or appropriate to execute the foregoing resolutions, and apply any amendments, additions or eliminations of a non-substantial nature that should be necessary to the resolutions of the Shareholders Meeting, upon request of all competent authorities or upon registration with the Companies' Register, in representation of the Company".
