The Meeting is convened to discuss and resolve upon the following:

Share Capital

As at the date of publication of this notice of call, the Company's subscribed and paid-in share capital amounts to € 55,948,257.00. It is represented by 55,948,257 ordinary shares, par value € 1 each. Each ordinary share conveys the right to cast one vote, exception made for the shares with increased voting rights (in the ratio of two voting rights for each share). As of the date of this notice, the Company holds 2,583,579 treasury shares, the voting rights of which are suspended pursuant to Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code. The Company's website (https://int.diasorin.com/it/ Section "Group/Governance/Ownership Structure/Total Shareholders' Basis") contains detailed information on the amount of the share capital and its composition.

The Bylaws (Articles 9-bis, 9-ter and 9-quater) regulate the increased voting rights, with the consequence that, in compliance with the provisions of Article 120, Paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 ("Consolidated Law on Finance"), share capital means the total number of voting rights. Following the increase in voting rights at the date of publication of this notice, the total number of voting rights is equal to 88,376,315. For more

information, including with reference to the special list pursuant to Article 9-quater of the Bylaws ("Special List"), please refer to the Company's website (https://int.diasorin.com/it/, Section "Group/Governance/Ownership Structure/Loyalty Shares").

The Directors, the Statutory Auditors, the designated representative and the notary who will record the meeting, as well as other persons entitled under the law, other than those who are entitled to vote, may attend the Shareholders' Meeting by means of telecommunications that also ensure their identification. The Company will provide instructions for attending the Shareholders' Meeting through telecommunication devices to those concerned.

The Designated Representative appointed by the Company pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance is Monte Titoli S.p.A., with registered office in Milan, Piazza degli Affari 6, Tax Code 03638780159, belonging to the Euronext Group, Group VAT No. 10977060960 (the "Designated Representative").

Shareholders wishing to attend the Shareholders' Meeting shall give the Designated Representative a proxy, with voting instructions, on the proposed resolutions on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting, without expenses for the delegating party (except for any shipping costs). The proxy shall be granted by signing a specific proxy form, available on the company's website (https://int.diasorin.com/it/, Section "Group/Governance/Shareholders' Meeting/2024"), together with the relevant instructions for filling in and transmitting the form.

The proxy form with the voting instructions must be received by the Designated Representative – together with a copy of a currently valid identity document of the proxy giver or, if the proxy giver is a legal person, of the pro tempore legal representative or other

person with appropriate powers, together with appropriate documentation to confirm the proxy giver's qualification and powers – by the end of the second trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. by 11:59 p.m. on 22 April 2024, using one of the following methods: (i) transmission of an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) to the certified e-mail address [email protected] (subject line "Delega Assemblea DIASORIN 2024") from one's own certified e-mail address (or, failing that, from one's own ordinary email address, in which case the proxy with 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 following address: Monte Titoli S.p.A. - For the attention of Ufficio Register & AGM Services, Piazza degli Affari 6, 20123 Milan, Ref.

Under the Decree, proxies or sub-proxies may also be granted to the Designated Representative, pursuant to Article 135-novies of the Consolidated Law on Finance and notwithstanding the Article 135-undecies, Paragraph 4 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, by signing a specific proxy form available on the Company's website (https://int.diasorin.com/it/, Section "Group/Governance/Shareholders' Meeting/2024"). For the transmission of proxies or sub-proxies, the procedures indicated above and set out in the proxy form must be followed.

The said proxy or sub-proxy must be received by 6:00 p.m. of the day preceding the Shareholders' Meeting (or anyway prior to the beginning of the meeting proceedings).

For any clarifications regarding the granting of proxies (and specifically regarding the completion of the proxy form and the voting instructions and their transmission), persons entitled to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting may contact Monte Titoli S.p.A. by email at [email protected] or at (+39) 02.33635810 on the days when the office is open, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Shares for which full or partial proxy is granted are calculated for the purpose of determining due constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting; with regard to proposed resolutions for which no voting instructions are given, the shares of the Shareholder concerned are not considered in calculating the majority and the percentage of capital required for the resolutions to be carried.

No postal or electronic voting procedures are envisaged.

Right to submit questions on the items on the Agenda

Pursuant to Article 127-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, Shareholders may ask questions on the items on the agenda before the Shareholders' Meeting, by means of electronic communication to the certified e-mail address [email protected].

Only questions that are strictly relevant to the agenda will be considered. Questions must be submitted within seven trading days prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e., by

15 April 2024, and the questions must be accompanied by the personal data of the shareholder (first and last name, or company name, place and date of birth and tax I.D. number) and the required communication to the Company by the qualified intermediary pursuant to Article 43, Paragraph 1, of the new Joint Regulation on post-trading adopted by Banca d'Italia and Consob on 13 August 2018 ("Rules governing central counterparties, central securities depositories and central depository services") ("Post Trading Regulation") proving the legitimacy of the exercise of such right; ownership of the voting right can also be certified after the submission of the questions, provided that it is within the third day following the date indicated in Article 83-sexies, Paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (record date), i.e. by 18 April 2024; however, the certification is not required if the Company already received the intermediary's communication needed to attend the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Company will answer questions received no later than 15 April 2023 – the deadline prescribed by Article 127-ter, Paragraph 1-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance – having verified their relevance to the items on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting and the legitimacy of the submitting party, at least three days before the Shareholders' Meeting, in derogation of the minimum term set by Article 127-ter, Paragraph 1-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, and therefore before 21 April 2024, publishing the responses on the relevant section of its website (https://int.diasorin.com/it/, "Group/Governance/Shareholders' Meeting/2024"), in order to allow eligible parties to vote with full knowledge of the items on the agenda. The Company may provide a joint answer to questions with the same content.

Right to amend and add motions to items in the Meeting's Agenda

Pursuant to Article 126-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, shareholders who, individually or jointly, represent at least one-fortieth of the Company's share capital may request in writing, within 10 days from the publication of this Notice (i.e. by 25 April 2024) that the Meeting's Agenda be amended, listing on their application the additional items or further motions to items already included in the Agenda that they are suggesting.

The report by the requesting shareholders, along with any pertinent assessments by the relevant corporate boards, will be published at the same time as such additions to the agenda will be published, in the same form as the documents relating to the Shareholders' Meeting.
