Notice of call of Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting

Diasorin S.p.A. ("Diasorin" or the "Company") is called in extraordinary session for 28 February 2025, at 11:00, in single call, exclusively by means of telecommunications.

The Company - in compliance with article 135-undecies.1 of Legislative Decree no. 58/98 (Consolidated Finance Act, hereinafter "TUF") and article 9 of the Company's by-laws ("By-Laws") – has decided to make use of the right to provide that the participation of Shareholders in the Shareholders' Meeting takes place exclusively through the Designated Representative pursuant to article 135-undecies of the TUF, without in person attendance on their part.

The Shareholders' Meeting has been called to discuss and resolve on the following

Agenda

  1. Proposal to enhance the increased voting rights mechanism currently in place (amendment to Articles 9-bis and 9-ter of the By-Laws); related and ancillary resolutions.

Share Capital

As of the date of publication of this notice of call, the subscribed and paid-up share capital is EUR 55,948,257.00 and is represented by 55,948,257 ordinary shares with a nominal value of EUR 1 each. Each ordinary share gives the right to one vote, except for the shares to which enhanced voting rights have been assigned (in the ratio of two voting rights for each share). As of the date of this notice of call, the Company owns no. 2, 056,298 treasury shares, whose voting rights 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 Structures/Share Capital") contains detailed information on the amount of the share capital and its composition.

The Articles of association (Articles 9-bis, 9-ter and 9-quater) regulate enhanced voting rights, with the consequence that, in compliance with the provisions of Article 120, paragraph 1, of the TUF, share capital shall mean the total number of voting rights. Following the enhanced voting rights assigned on the date of publication of this notice of call, the total number of voting rights is equal to 88,316,827. For more information, also with reference to the special list under article 9-quater of the Articles of association ("Special List"), please refer to the Company's website (https://int.diasorin.com/it/, Section "Group/Governance/Ownership Structures/Enhanced Voting Rights"). The Company, pursuant to article 9-quater of the Articles of association, will update the Special List (where necessary) by the 5th (fifth) trading day from the end of each calendar month and, in any case, by 20 February 2025, the following trading day on the date indicated in Article 83-sexies, paragraph 2, of the TUF (the so-called record date, i.e. 19 February 2025).

Entitlement to participate and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting

Pursuant to Article 83-sexies of the TUF, the entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and to exercise the right to vote is certified by a communication to the Company, carried out by the intermediary in accordance with its accounting records, in favour of the person who has the right to vote, based on the evidence relating to the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. 19 February 2025 (record date); those who become owners of the Company's shares only after that date will not be entitled to participate and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting; the communication from the intermediary must be received by the

Company by the end of the third trading day preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. by 25 February 2025); however, the right to participate and vote remains unchanged if the communications are received by the Company after said deadline, provided that they are received by the start of the meeting.

The Directors, Statutory Auditors, the designated representative and the Notary who will take the minutes of the meeting, as well as the other parties entitled to attend by law who do not hold voting rights, may participate in the Shareholders' Meeting via means of telecommunication, which must also be able to ensure that they can be identified.

The proxy with the voting instructions must be received by the aforesaid Designated Representative - together with a copy of a currently valid identity document for the person granting the proxy or, if the person granting the proxy is a legal person, for the pro tempore legal representative or other person with appropriate powers, together with documentation attesting such person's title 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. of 26 February 2025), by one of the following methods: (i) transmission of an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) to the certified e-mail address [email protected] (subject: "Proxy for the DIASORIN FEBRUARY 2025 Shareholders' Meeting") from the person's own certified e-mail address (or, failing that, from the person's ordinary e-mail address, in which case the proxy with the voting instructions must be signed with a qualified electronic or ature); or (ii) transmission of the original, by courier or registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, to the address: Monte Titoli S.p.A., - to the kind attention of Register & AGM Services Office, Piazza degli Affari no. 6, 20123 Milan, Ref.

The proxy and voting instructions may be revoked before the end of the second trading day preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e., by 11:59 p.m. of 26 February 2025).

Pursuant to the Decree, the aforementioned Designated Representative may also be granted proxies or sub-proxies pursuant to Article 135-novies of the TUF in derogation of Article 135-undecies, paragraph 4, of the TUF, via the specific proxy form available on the Company's website (at https://int.diasorin.com/it/, Section "Group/Governance/Shareholders' Meeting/ 2025").

Any additions to the list of items that the Shareholders' Meeting will have to discuss following the aforementioned requests or the presentation of further proposals are disclosed, in the same ways prescribed for the publication of the notice of call, at least 15 days before the date set for the

Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. by 13 February 2025. Additions are not allowed for items on which the Shareholders' Meeting resolves, in accordance with the law, at the proposal of the Directors or based on a project or report prepared by them other than those referred to in Article 125-ter, paragraph 1, of the TUF.

Entitlement to exercise this right is certified by a communication to the Company by the intermediary authorized pursuant to Article 43, paragraph 1, of the Measure on Post Trading certifying the ownership of the shares by the requesting shareholders with validity on the date of the request itself. At the same time as the publication of the notice of additions or the submission of proposals, the report prepared by the requesting shareholders, accompanied by any assessments of the management body, will be made available to the public, in the same form as the documents relating to the Shareholders' Meeting.

Withdrawal Right

The proposed resolution under the agenda concerns the enhancement of the increased voting rights. If approved, such proposed resolution will legitimize the exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Company's shareholders who did not participate in the adoption of the relevant resolution, pursuant to Article 127-quinquies of the TUF. Therefore, such shareholders will be entitled to exercise the right of withdrawal within 15 (fifteen) days from the date of the registration of the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting with the competent Companies' Register; such date will be made known by means of a notice published on the Company's website (https://int.diasorin.com/it /, Section "Group/Governance/Shareholders' Meeting /2025) and in at least one daily newspaper with national circulation, as well as at the authorized storage mechanism "eMarket STORAGE" of Teleborsa S.r.l.

In this regard, it is hereby announced that the unit liquidation value of the Company's ordinary shares, in relation to which the right of withdrawal should be exercised, has been determined to be Euro 103.05. The liquidation value of the Company's ordinary shares has been determined, in the absence of statutory exceptions, by making exclusive reference to Article 2437-ter, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, which provides for the calculation of the arithmetic average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares during the six months preceding the date of publication of this notice of call.
