Explanatory Report concerning item No. 3 on the Agenda
3. Appointment of the Board of Directors:
- 3.1 determination of the number of members of the Board of Directors;
- 3.2 determination of the term of office;
- 3.3 appointment of members of the Board of Directors;
- 3.4 determination of fees.
Dear Shareholders,
with the approval of the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2021, the term of office of the Board of Directors of your Company, appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 24 April 2019, will end; it is therefore necessary to appoint a new board, after determining the number of members and term of office.
In this respect, the following is noted in particular.
Composition of the Board of Directors
Pursuant to Article 11 of the Articles of Association, the Company is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of 7 to 16 members. The number of members of the Board of Directors, within the aforementioned limits, is established by the Shareholders' Meeting, which also determines its duration, which in any case shall not exceed three financial years.
The Directors' terms of office ends on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last year of their office. Directors may be re-elected.
Directors must meet the requirements of applicable laws in force; a minimum number of Directors, corresponding to the minimum provided for by the above regulations must meet the independence requirements set out in Article 148, third paragraph, of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the "TUF").
failure to meet the requirements will result in the Director losing office. A Director will not lose his/her position if s/he no longer meets the independence requirement defined above, provided that said requirement is still met by the minimum number of Directors as contemplated by applicable legislation.
Your Company, as a "large company" and with "concentrated ownership" within the meaning given by the Corporate Governance Code approved by the Corporate Governance Committee, which the Company has declared it endorses (January 2020 version, the "CG Code"), is subject to the recommendation of the CG Code whereby independent directors must constitute at least one third of the board1 .
The composition of the Board of Directors must also respect the gender balance pursuant to Article 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter of the TUF, as introduced by Law 120 of 12 July 2011 as
1 If the quota of independent directors corresponds to a number that is not whole, this number is rounded off, according to the following arithmetical criterion: rounding down to the nearest unit if the decimal number is less than 5; instead, rounding up to the nearest unit, if the decimal number is 5 or more (see Q&A no. 5(1) for the application of the CG Code).

amended. With reference to the term of office of the new management board, at least twofifths of the Directors must belong to the less represented gender, rounded up to the next unit (Article 144-undecies 1, paragraph 3, Consob Regulation no. 11971/1999, the "Issuers' Regulation").
System for appointing the Board of Directors on the basis of list voting
Pursuant to Article 11 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors shall be appointed, in compliance with applicable regulations in force on gender balance, based on the lists submitted by the Shareholders according to the procedures indicated below, in which the candidates shall be listed with a consecutive number.
Each shareholder, shareholders who are party to a shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, the parent company, subsidiaries and joint ventures pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, may not submit or participate in the submission of more than one list, even through a third party or trust company, nor may they vote for different lists, and each candidate may appear on only one list, failing which they will not be eligible for election. Endorsements and votes cast in violation of this prohibition shall not be assigned to any list.
We would also like to remind you that Shareholders submitting a "minority list" are subject to the recommendations made by Consob in its communication no. DEM/9017893 of 26 February 2009.
Lists may only be submitted by shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, own shares representing at least the percentage of the share capital subscribed at the date of submission of the list, established and published by Consob pursuant to the Issuers' Regulation. In this regard, Consob, with Executive Decision of the Head of the Corporate Governance Division no. 60 of 28 January 2022, established 1% of the share capital as the amount to be held in order to submit lists for the election of the Company's management board.
Pursuant to Article 9-ter, paragraph 4 of the Articles of Association, increased voting rights do not affect other rights, which may be exercised by virtue of owning certain percentages of the capital and likewise, do not affect the determination of the percentages of capital required to submit lists for the election of corporate boards.
The lists shall be filed at the company's registered office in Saluggia, Via Crescentino, snc by 6.00 p.m. on Monday 4 April 2022.
The lists to appoint the Board of Directors may also be filed electronically, sent to the certified email address affarisocietari.pec@legal. diasorin. it, also by Monday 4 April 2022. If the lists are submitted by certified email, a copy of valid ID of the persons submitting the list must also be sent.
The lists must include: (i) information on the identity of the shareholders who submitted the lists, indicating the total percentage of shares held; (ii) statements in which the individual candidates accept their nomination and certify, under their own responsibility, that there are no grounds for ineligibility or incompatibility and that they meet the requirements for their

respective positions; (iii) a curriculum vitae of the personal and professional characteristics of each candidate, indicating, if applicable, his or her suitability to qualify as independent.
Ownership of the shareholding required for the purposes of submitting the list shall be certified by the intermediary authorised to maintain accounts sending the Company the communication indicated in Article 43 of the Single Provision on post-trading of Consob and the Bank of Italy of 13 August 2018 ("Regulations on central counterparties, central depositaries and centralised management activities") even after the filing of the list, provided it is sent to the Company at least twenty-one days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting on first call, i.e. by 6.00 p.m. on Friday 8 April 2022. Ownership of this shareholding is determined on the basis of the shares registered in favour of the Shareholder on the day when the lists are filed with the Company.
Lists with a number of candidates equal to or greater than 3 must have candidates belonging to both genders, in accordance with applicable regulations in force on gender balance, and must therefore ensure, as stated, that the least represented gender accounts for at least two fifths of the Directors, rounded up to the next unit.
Lists submitted without complying with the above provisions shall be deemed not to have been submitted.
The lists shall also be subject to other forms of notification contemplated in applicable laws and regulations in force. In particular, at least twenty-one days before the date of the Shareholders' Meeting (Friday 8 April 2022), the lists are made available to the public at the Company's registered office, on the Company's website and in accordance with other procedures contemplated by Consob regulations.
Procedures for appointing the Board of Directors
The election of the Board of Directors shall take place as follows:
a) the Directors to be elected, except one, are taken from the list obtaining the highest number of votes, in the progressive order in which they appear on the list;
b) the remaining Director is taken from the minority list that is not connected in any way, not even indirectly, with the parties that submitted or voted for the list referred to in point a), and that has obtained the second-highest number of votes, as the first candidate based on the progressive order in which the candidates are indicated on the list.
Without prejudice to the fact that, if the minority list referred to in point b) has not obtained a percentage of votes equal to at least half of that required for the list to be submitted, all the Directors to be elected will be taken from the list that has obtained the highest number of votes referred to in point a).
If the election of candidates as above does not ensure the appointment of a number of directors who meet the independence requirements established for statutory auditors in Article 148, paragraph 3, of the TUF, equal to the minimum number established by law in relation to the total number of directors, the non-independent candidate elected as the last in progressive order in the list that received the highest number of votes, as per point a) above, shall be replaced by the unelected independent candidate from the same list in progressive

order, or, failing that, by the first independent candidate in progressive order not elected from the other lists, according to the number of votes obtained by each of them. This replacement procedure will take place until the Board of Directors is composed of a number of members meeting the requirements set forth in Article 148, paragraph 3 of the TUF equal to at least the minimum prescribed by law. If this procedure does not produce the aforementioned result, the replacement shall take place by resolution adopted by the shareholders' meeting, with a relative majority, subject to the presentation of the candidates who meet the aforementioned requirements.
In addition, if the election of the candidates, as described above, does not ensure the composition of the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable regulations in force on gender balance, the candidate of the most represented gender elected as the last in progressive order on the list that received the highest number of votes will be replaced by the first candidate of the least represented gender not elected from the same list in progressive order. This replacement procedure will take place until the composition of the Board of Directors complies with applicable regulations in force on gender balance. If this procedure does not produce the aforementioned result, the replacement will take place by resolution adopted by the shareholders' meeting, with a relative majority, subject to the presentation of the candidates who meet the aforementioned requirements.
If only one list is submitted or if no list at all is submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve with the majorities provided for by law, without complying with the above procedure, subject to compliance with applicable regulations in force on gender balance. *** *** ***
The Board of Directors has established in its regulation approved on 16 December 2021 certain limits on the number of positions that may be held as director or auditor in other companies, as set out below ("Limits on positions held").
"1. (...)"Significant Companies" means:
(a) Italian companies with shares listed on Italian or foreign regulated markets;
(b) Italian or foreign companies other than the companies referred to in (a) above, operating in the insurance, banking, securities, asset management or financial sectors2 ;
(c) Italian or foreign companies, other than the companies referred to in points (a) and (b) above, which individually or as a whole at group level, if they prepare consolidated financial statements, have revenues from sales and services exceeding €200 million.
2. For executive directors3 :
(i) it is not permitted to be an executive director in other Significant Companies (other than DiaSorin);
2 1 For the purposes of the number of positions held, financial intermediaries referred to in Article 106 of Legislative Decree 385 of 1993 (Consolidated Banking Act - TUB) and undertakings providing investment or collective asset management activities and services pursuant to the TUF are considered to be "financial companies".
3 Excluding directors defined as "executive directors" in accordance with the CG Code, as they hold management positions in companies in the chain of control where the position also concerns the Company.

(ii) the maximum number of non-executive directorships in other Significant Companies (other than DiaSorin) shall not exceed 4.
3. For non-executive directors, the maximum number of directorships or positions of control in other Significant Companies (other than DiaSorin) shall not exceed 6.
4. For the purposes of calculating positions held
- (i) no account is taken of positions held in companies directly or indirectly controlled by the Company, or in companies controlling it;
- (ii) no account is taken of positions held in holding companies in which DiaSorin directors hold the majority of voting rights that may be exercised at the shareholders' meeting;

- (iii) no account is taken of positions held as alternate auditor or as director or auditor in third sector entities (e.g., foundations, including banking foundations, associations, voluntary organisations), consortia, and unlisted cooperatives, nor of positiona held as professional in professional companies;
- (iv) for the purposes of identifying the companies referred to in point 1(b) above, "revenues from sales and services" means income from ordinary operations (...)".
Lastly, it should be noted that the Company's Board of Directors, in its meeting of 16 March 2022, defined, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee and taking into account the results of the self-assessment, guidance that identifies the managerial and professional profiles and skills deemed necessary, also considering the Limits on the number of Positions Held, as well as the policy on the diversity of the composition of the Board of Directors and, therefore, diversity criteria such as gender, managerial and professional skills, also of an international nature, and age.
In this respect, the Board decided to make the following recommendations:
- ‐ taking into account the size and activity of the Company, a number of Directors not exceeding the current number of 15 (fifteen) is considered appropriate;
- ‐ one third of the Directors must meet the independence requirements of Article 148, paragraph 3 of the TUF and the CG Code;
- ‐ in accordance with regulations on gender balance, at least two-fifths of the Directors must belong to the least represented gender (rounded up to the next unit);
- ‐ as regards diversity policies (Article 123-bis, letter d-bis) of the TUF), it is considered appropriate, also in order to foster the understanding of the Company's organisation and its activities, as well as its efficient governance, that, without prejudice to the legal requirement of gender balance: (a) the board has different aged members; and (b) the training and professional background of the Directors guarantees a balanced combination of profiles and experience, including international experience, suitable to

ensure the proper performance of their duties;
- ‐ each candidate must comply with Limits on the number of Positions held, in order to ensure an adequate amount of time to perform duties diligently;
- ‐ as regards the balance between executive and non-executive members, the presence of a Managing Director with extensive management powers and specific experience and expertise in the Company is considered positive.
Term of office and determination of the fees of the Board of Directors
We would also like to remind you that the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting will be requested to determine the term of office of the new Board of Directors, which in any case will not exceed three financial years, pursuant to Article 11 of the Articles of Association, and to determine the remuneration of the members of the board. In this regard, pursuant to Article 16 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Meeting may determine an overall amount for the remuneration of all directors, excluding those with operational powers. The remuneration of the latter will be determined by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors. Alternatively, the Shareholders' Meeting is always entitled to determine an overall amount for the remuneration of all directors, including those holding special positions.
*** *** ***
Finally:
- Shareholders who submit their own lists of candidates for appointment to the Board of Directors are requested to ensure that such lists include all information necessary to enable shareholders to cast their votes in an informed manner, including information about whether the candidates qualify as independent;
- Shareholders submitting a list containing a number of candidates exceeding half of the members to be elected are requested to indicate - and send to the certified email address"affarisocietari.pec@legal. diasorin. it" - proposals for the appointment of the Board of Directors (determination of the number of members and term of office of the Board of Directors, as well as the fees), sufficiently in advance so that such proposals may be published by the Company at the same time as the lists.

The list, which bears the names, marked with a progressive number, of one or more candidates, indicates whether the individual nomination is for the position of Standing Auditor, or for Alternate Auditor.
With reference to the aforementioned regulations on gender balance, pursuant to the Articles of Association, lists with a total number of candidates equal to or greater than three must be composed of candidates belonging to both genders, so that the first two candidates for the position of standing auditor and the first two candidates for the position of alternate auditor are of both genders.

Pursuant to Article 9-ter, paragraph 4 of the Articles of Association, increased voting rights do not affect other rights, which may be exercised by virtue of owning certain percentages of the capital and likewise, do not affect the determination of the percentages of capital required to submit lists for the election of corporate boards.
Each shareholder, as well as shareholders who are party to a shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, and the parent company, subsidiaries and joint ventures pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, may not submit or participate in the submission of more than one list, even through a third party or trust company, nor may they vote for different

GUIDANCE FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE RENEWAL OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS
This document was approved by the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors during its meeting of 8 March 2022 pursuant to provisions of Rules of Conduct for the Boards of Statutory Auditors of listed companies issued by CNDCEC on 26 April 2018
Dear Shareholders,
This document was approved by the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors during its meeting of 8 March 2022 pursuant to provisions of Rules of Conduct for the Boards of Statutory Auditors of listed companies issued by CNDCEC on 26 April 2018
Dear Shareholders,
with the approval of the 2021 financial statements, the current Board of Statutory Auditors will end its term of office and therefore, in compliance with the Rules of Conduct Q.1.2. and Q.1.6. of the National Council of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts, it is advisable to summarise in a specific document the activities carried out, as well as the time required for each of the activities carried out and the professional resources employed, in order to allow the Shareholders and Statutory Auditors put forward as candidates to assess the adequacy of the proposed fees.
This document is divided into the following sections:
- 1) functions required of the Board of Statutory Auditors of a listed company and development of the activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors;
- 2) considerations on the ideal qualitative and quantitative composition for the future Board of Statutory Auditors;
- 3) commitment required of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the three-year period in terms of attendance at meetings and time dedicated in 2021;
- 4) considerations on the remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors;

5) conclusions.
1. Functions required of the Board of Statutory Auditors of a listed company and development of the activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors
The duties and powers of the Board of Statutory Auditors are governed by Articles 149 to 151 of the TUF, as well as by the provisions of the Civil Code.
In particular, with regard to the TUF:
- (i) Article 149, paragraph 1, letter c-bis) establishes that the Board of Statutory Auditors is obliged to supervise the methods for the actual adoption of the corporate governance rules indicated in the codes of conduct the company publicly declares it observes;
- (ii) in accordance with Article 151, paragraph 1, auditors may request information on the progress of company operations or on specific business directly from the management and control boards of subsidiaries; and
- (iii) Article 151, paragraph 2, establishes that each member of the board may individually exercise powers to call board meetings and to request the assistance of employees, except for the power to call the shareholders' meeting, which must be exercised by at least two members of the board of statutory auditors.
With the European reform on statutory auditing, the legislator intended to strengthen audit quality and in particular consolidate mechanisms for verifying the auditor's independence, giving the Board of Statutory Auditors, in a capacity as the Internal Control and Audit Committee, specific monitoring activities.
Pursuant to Article 19 of Legislative Decree 39/2010, as subsequently amended, the Board of Statutory Auditors is also obliged to:
(i) inform the management board about the results of statutory auditing and send its report to this board;

- (ii) monitor the financial reporting process and submit recommendations/proposals aimed at ensuring integrity;
- (iii) check the effectiveness of the quality control, business risk management and internal audit systems, in relation to the audited entity's financial reporting;
- (iv) monitor the statutory auditing of the separate and consolidated financial statements, also taking into account any results and conclusions of the quality controls carried out by Consob pursuant to Article 26, §6 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014, where available;
- (v) verify and monitor the independence of independent auditors, in particular as regards the provision of services other than auditing of the Company;
- (vi) be responsible for the procedure to select the independent auditors and recommend independent auditors to designate pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014.
The Board of Statutory Auditors approves the performance of non-audit services by the auditor and entities of the related network (Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014).
Reference is also made to non-financial information, as introduced by Legislative Decree 254/2016, on the basis of which the Board of Statutory Auditors:
- (i) monitors directors' compliance with the provisions contained in Legislative Decree 254/2016 regarding the preparation of the non-financial statement (Article 3, paragraph 7, Legislative Decree 254/2016);
- (ii) notifies the outcome of this supervision to the shareholders' meeting;
- (iii) confers with the management board, in the case where, in exceptional circumstances, information that can compromise the company's commercial position may be omitted from the non-financial statement.
2. The ideal qualitative-quantitative composition for the future Board of Statutory Auditors
Taking into account the sector in which the Company and the Group operates, the complexity of the company organisation, the size and structure of the Group, it is believed that the performance

of the duties assigned to the Board of Statutory Auditors requires specific expertise in the following areas:
- principles and rules of operation of listed companies;
- characteristics and functioning of the sector in which the Company operates;
- expertise in financial and extraordinary transactions;
- national and international accounting standards;
- accounting processes and preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements;
- the impairment testing process and assessments;
- an ability to supervise the adequacy and actual functioning of the organisational structure, with regard to risk management, internal audit and financial reporting processes;
- risk management;
- sustainability;
- statutory auditing.
In particular, expertise and experience in listed companies are essential, especially in Groups, including those with an international presence. It is important the members of the board of statutory auditors have different backgrounds and collectively cover the areas of expertise indicated.
As a result of the self-assessment process conducted annually, the Board of Statutory Auditors in office meets all the areas of expertise referred to above. The Board also positively assessed its composition in terms of gender diversity, skills and professionalism, as well as professional experience.
3. Commitment required of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the three-year period in terms of attendance at meetings and time dedicated in 2021
The following table summarises the number of meetings attended by the Board of Statutory Auditors in 2019, 2020 and 2021:

| Board or committee meeting | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| no. | no. | no. | |
| Board of Statutory Auditors | 13 | 13 | 14 |
| Board of Directors | 7 | 5 | 9 * |
| Risk Management and Sustainability Committee |
6 | 5 | 3 |
| Related Parties Committee | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Appointments and Remuneration Committee |
2 (Appointments) - 1 (Remuneration) - 1 (Appointments and Remuneration) |
4 | 4 |
| Shareholders' Meetings | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| total | 32 | 29 | 34 |
* During the year ended 31 December 2021, the Board of Directors held 9 meetings, an increase over previous years, in light of the actions necessary to deal with the pandemic situation underway and the extraordinary acquisition of the US company Luminex.
Quantitative commitment for 2021
Considering only the hours of attendance at meetings and excluding the time dedicated to auditing, the total number of hours' commitment of the Board of Statutory Auditors for 2021 can be estimated at approximately 187, including the time spent at ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings of the year.
Meeting hours totalled approximately 35 for meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors (2.5 hours on average each), approximately 9 for meetings of the Risk Management and Sustainability Committee (3 hours on average each), approximately 4 for the meetings of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (1 hour on average each), approximately 1 for the meetings of the Related Parties Committee (0.5 hours each) and approximately 20 for the meetings of the Board of Directors and Shareholders' Meetings:

| Hours of meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors |
Hours of meetings of the Risk Management and Sustainability Committee |
Hours of meetings of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee |
Hours of meetings of the Related Parties Committee |
Hours of meetings of the Board of Directors and Shareholders' meetings |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chair | 35 | 3.5 | 4 | 1 | 20 |
| Auditor | 35 | 2.5 | 2 | 1 | 20 |
| Auditor | 35 | 3.5 | 3 | 1 | 20 |
| Total | 105 | 9.5 | 9 | 3 | 60 |
The commitment required of statutory auditors also involves the prior analysis of documentation made available before each board and committee meeting.
The time spent by the auditors to prepare for meetings, although not analytically quantifiable, is a significant part of their commitment, and is added to the time of the actual meetings.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, in carrying out its supervisory function, was not assisted by company employees.
4. Considerations on the remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors
The annual fee of each Statutory Auditor approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company on 26 April 2019 is equal to €30 thousand and the annual fees of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors is equal to €40 thousand.
The Board deems its overall remuneration adequate for the complexity of its appointment and commitment to participating in the meetings of corporate boards.
In any case, it should be noted that recent analysis showed the Italian market is paying considerable attention to cases of fees paid to members of Boards of Statutory Auditors that are not fully adequate with the increasing commitment required of them in compliance with applicable regulations.

In this regard, the Board reports that the Company did not request an assessment of the adequacy of the Board's remuneration by a specialised company.
The fee of the Board of Statutory Auditors that the Shareholders' Meeting will resolve on, should be effectively commensurate with the growing commitment required of the Board, also in terms of necessary continual updates, and the duties and responsibilities of the auditors. This is also a clear and unequivocal recommendation of the Corporate Governance Code (published in January 2020), of the Rules of Conduct for the Boards of Statutory Auditors of listed companies (published in April 2018) and of authoritative representatives of the Supervisory Authority.
5. Conclusions
In conclusion, in terms of the professional expertise of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, it is hoped and considered appropriate that the new Board also has expertise and experience in the relevant areas referred to in §3 with suitable knowledge of the principles and operating rules of listed companies; in conclusion, for an ideal qualitative/quantitative composition of the future Board of Statutory Auditors of DiaSorin, the analysis of assessments of both the current and future structure of the board confirms an opinion, shared with the Board, of maintaining the current mix of expertise and professionalism, even in the event of a change in its composition.
Taking into account the comparative analysis of the fees of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and of Board Directors who are members of the Risk Management and Sustainability Committee, the reminders on the adequacy of the remuneration of the statutory auditors contained in the letters of the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of 3 December 2021 and 22 December 2020, the continually increasing range of duties and greater commitments required of the Board in light of legal developments of the last few years, it is hoped that the company, as regards the adequacy of fees, takes into account, in its related assessment the fees paid to members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and submitted to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting, also considering recent regulations that have extended the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors hopes that the "guidance" brought to the attention of the Shareholders' Meeting may be considered as concrete help in the process to select candidates

to hold the position of Statutory Auditor and Chair of the new Board of Statutory Auditors, and also for the purposes of defining adequate fees for these positions.

Explanatory Report concerning item No. 5 on the Agenda
Resolutions, pursuant to Article 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58 of 24 February 1998, on the establishment of a long-term incentive plan called the "Equity Awards Plan". Related resolutions.
Dear Shareholders,
we submit for your approval an incentive and loyalty plan called the "Equity Awards Plan" (the "Equity Plan" or the "Plan") for the managers of DiaSorin SpA ("DiaSorin" or the "Company") and other DiaSorin Group companies (as defined below), pursuant to Article 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the "TUF"), to be implemented through the assignment (without a consideration) of rights (the "Rights") which (if accrued upon the fulfilment of the conditions, as well as the procedures and terms provided for in the Plan) grant the right to receive (without a consideration) ordinary treasury shares in the Company's portfolio, at a ratio of 1 (one) share, with regular dividend rights, for every 1 (one) Right accrued, as better specified below.
DiaSorin ordinary treasury shares will therefore be used for the Plan, subject to purchase under the authorisation pursuant to Article 2357 of the Civil Code granted, on a case-by-case basis, by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company.
For any further information on the Equity Plan, please refer to the information document prepared pursuant to Article 84-bis of Consob Regulation 11971/1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation") and in compliance with Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation made available to the public, together with this Report, in accordance with law.
1. Reasons to adopt the Equity Plan
The purpose of the Equity Plan is to ensure the retention of beneficiaries through a consistency with market best practices, to reward the contribution of beneficiaries in creating shareholder value and foster a culture of merit based on the role and value of each beneficiary.
The adoption of the Equity Plan is also motivated by the need to harmonize the incentive tools used by the Group, in the light of the acquisition of Luminex Corporation and reflect the Group's growing international expansion.
The proposal to adopt the Plan was made by the Board of Directors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee.
2. Recipients of the Equity Plan
As stated in the Introduction, the Equity Plan is for managers of the Company and the companies (Italian or foreign) it directly or indirectly controls pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, or that qualify as subsidiaries in compliance with the accounting standards applicable from time to time, or included in the scope of consolidation (the "Subsidiary Companies" or "Subsidiaries" and, together with DiaSorin, the "DiaSorin Group").
More specifically, the Plan is for the Vice Presidents, Senior Directors, Directors and other key employees of the DiaSorin Group (jointly, the "Recipients") who, on the date of assignment of the Rights (the "Assignment Date"), are employed by the Company or Subsidiaries (or in any case have a comparable working relationship pursuant to legislation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries from time to time) (the "Relationship").

The Rights covered by the Plan may be assigned only to the Beneficiaries who will be identified from Recipients by the Board of Directors or by the person(s) delegated for this purpose by the Board of Directors.
3. Purpose and method of implementing the Equity Plan
The Plan is divided into 4 (four) Rights assignment cycles (the "Assignment Cycle" or "Cycle"), each of which has a four-year vesting period ("Vesting Period"). The Vesting Period is in turn divided into 4 (four) tranches, corresponding to each reference year included in the Vesting Period (the "Tranche"). The Vesting Period of each Cycle starts from the date of verification (the "Verification Date") of the number of Rights accrued based on the conditions indicated in the Plan being met (the "Accrued Bonus").
During the Plan validity, an annual assignment of the Rights may be made in each of the financial years 2022 (first Cycle), 2023 (second Cycle), 2024 (third Cycle) and 2025 (fourth Cycle). The assignment of the Rights in an Assignment Cycle is purely discretionary and does not give the Beneficiary any right to receive further assignments in the remaining Cycles of the Plan.
With reference to each Assignment Cycle, once the conditions set out in the Plan for the vesting of the Rights have been verified on the Verification Date, the DiaSorin ordinary shares will be assigned during the Vesting Period, with a quantity for each Tranche equal to 25% of the Accrued Bonus.
More specifically, the Plan consists of the free assignment to Beneficiaries of the Rights to receive, as applicable, performance shares (the "Performance Shares") and/or restricted share units ("Restricted Share Units") on the basis of the so-called pay opportunity of each Beneficiary, as follows.
For Beneficiaries who are Vice Presidents of the DiaSorin Group:
- (a) a part of the Rights, amounting to 50% of the pay opportunity, carries the right to receive (without a consideration) Performance Shares, in the case of achieving a certain percentage of the annual performance target identified below, and maintenance of the Employment Relationship;
- (b) another part of the Rights, amounting to the remaining 50% of the Pay Opportunity, carries the right to receive (without a consideration) Restricted Share Units, if the Employment Relationship is maintained.
The following is noted:
(i) the annual performance target to which the accrual of the Rights referring to the Performance Shares is subject in each Assignment Cycle, is the consolidated EBIT of the Group as resulting from the consolidated financial statements relating to the first year of each reference Cycle, adjusted by any amortisation of intangible assets arising from business combinations, extraordinary asset or liability items (e.g. extraordinary non-recurring operations and operations not foreseen in the budget), and neutralised by the impact of the exchange rate, as approved by the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee;
(ii) the number of accrued Rights that carry the right to receive the Performance Shares in each Assignment Cycle, will be determined, on the Verification Date, according to the extent to which the performance target is actually achieved, by calculating the linear interpolation.
For Beneficiaries who are Senior Directors, Directors and other key employees of the DiaSorin Group ("Other Beneficiaries"), the Rights (100% of the pay opportunity) carry the right to receive (without a consideration) Restricted Share Units, in the case that the Relationship is maintained.
The number of Rights to be assigned to each Beneficiary will be calculated on the basis of the normal value of DiaSorin ordinary shares, determined pursuant to Article 9 of Presidential

Decree 917/1986, i.e. based on the arithmetic mean of the prices recorded in the month preceding the Assignment Date, taking into consideration the average of exchange rates of the same period.
All the Rights assigned in each Assignment Cycle will accrue at the end of the first financial year included in the same Cycle, following the Board of Director's approval of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the relevant financial year and subject to the conditions indicated in the Plan being met (to verify on the Verification Date), and therefore, for:
-
Beneficiaries who are Vice Presidents of the DiaSorin Group, the achievement (or failure to achieve) the performance target and maintenance of the Relationship; and
-
Other Beneficiaries, the maintenance of the Relationship.
As stated above, DiaSorin ordinary shares (corresponding, depending on the Beneficiary, to the number of Performance Shares and/or Restricted Shares Units received) will be assigned during the Vesting Period at the respective Allocation Dates, with a quantity, for each Tranche, equal to 25% of the Accrued Bonus.
It is proposed to assign 300,000 ordinary shares (equal to approximately 0.54% of the current share capital of DiaSorin) as the maximum total number of DiaSorin ordinary shares to be used for the Equity Plan.
It should be noted that the Equity Plan has a clawback provision, and contains rules on Rights owing to Beneficiaries in the event of termination of employment relationship in the case of a so-called "bad leaver" or a so-called "good leaver", all in accordance with standard incentive plan practices.
The Equity Plan will not receive any support from the special Fund for encouraging worker participation in companies, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112 of Law 350 of 24 December 2003.
4. Duration of the Equity Plan
The duration of the Equity Plan will be from approval by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting (convened for 29 April 2022 as a combined session) until the delivery date of the shares referring to the last Tranche included in the Vesting Period of the fourth Assignment Cycle.
The Plan has an acceleration mechanism to accrue Rights on the occurrence of certain events.
5. Limits on the transfer of Rights and Shares
Each Right will be assigned in a personal capacity to each Beneficiary and may not be transferred by deed inter vivos or be subject to restrictions or be the subject of other acts of disposal for any reason whatsoever.
There are no restrictions on the transfer of the Company's ordinary shares assigned following the accrual of the Rights.
*** *** ***
Dear Shareholders,
in consideration of the above, we invite you to adopt the following resolutions:
"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of DiaSorin S.p.A., having examined and approved the Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors,
resolves
(i) to approve, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58/1998, the establishment of a new incentive and loyalty plan called the "Equity Awards Plan"

with the characteristics (including the conditions and requirements for implementation) indicated in the Report of the Board of Directors and in the Information Document prepared pursuant to Article 84-bis of Consob resolution 11971/1999 (attached to the same Report under letter "A"), giving the Board the mandate to adopt the related regulation;
(ii) to grant the Board of Directors all necessary or appropriate powers to implement the "Equity Awards Plan", including in particular but not limited to all powers to identify the beneficiaries and determine the number of rights to be assigned to each of them, proceed with assignments to beneficiaries, as well as deal with all activities, obligations, formalities and communication necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the management and/or implementation of the plan, with the right to delegate their powers, duties and responsibilities regarding the performance and adoption of the plan to the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and/or the Chief Executive Officer, even severally."

FOREWORD
This Information Document, drawn up pursuant to Article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and consistent, also in the numbering of the related Sections, with the indications contained in Schedule 7 of Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation, concerns the proposal for the adoption of the incentive and loyalty plan called "Equity Awards Plan" – approved by the Board of Directors on 16 December 2021, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee – which will be submitted for the approval of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company called for 29 April 2022 as a combined session.
At the date of this Information Document, the proposed adoption of the Equity Plan had not yet been approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting and therefore:
(i) this Information Document is drawn up exclusively on the basis of the content of the proposed adoption of the Plan approved by the Board;
(ii) any reference to the Plan contained in this Information Document must be understood as referring to the proposed adoption of the Plan.
The Plan is to be considered of "particular importance" pursuant to Article 114-bis, paragraph 3, of the TUF and Article 84-bis, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulation, since the potential Beneficiaries of the Rights that the Board of Directors (or person(s) delegated for this purpose by the Board) may assign, include some persons who hold positions on the management boards of Subsidiaries, it being understood that these persons are potential Beneficiaries of the Plan, due to their employment relationship (or in any case a comparable working relationship pursuant to legislation applicable from time to time) (i.e. the relationship with the Subsidiaries.
The Plan is not a stock option plan; therefore, in this Information Document, the sections of Annex 3A, Schedule 7 of the Issuers' Regulations that refer to said incentive plans have been omitted.
1. RECIPIENTS OF THE PLAN
1.1 Indication of the names of the recipients who are members of the board of directors or of the management board of the issuer of financial instruments, of companies controlling the issuer and of companies controlled directly or indirectly by the latter.
The potential Beneficiaries of the Plan include certain persons who are members of the management boards of the Subsidiaries, to whom Rights could be assigned by virtue of their employment relationship (or in any case a comparable working relationship pursuant to legislation applicable from time to time) (i.e. the Relationship) with the Subsidiaries.
1.2 Categories of employees or external staff of the issuer of financial instruments and of the parent or subsidiary companies of that issuer.
The Plan is for persons who, at the Assignment Date, have an employment relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries (or in any case a comparable working relationship pursuant to legislation applicable from time to time) (i.e. the Relationship).
Under the Plan, the Board of Directors (or subject(s) delegated for this purpose by the Board, is given a mandate to identify the individual Beneficiaries within the category of Recipients.
1.3 Indication of the names of the subjects benefitting from the plan, who belong to the following groups:

a) general managers of the issuer of financial instruments;
Not applicable.
b) other key executives of the issuer of financial instruments that is not of a "minor size", pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 1, letter f), of Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010, in the event that during the year they received overall remuneration (obtained by adding monetary remuneration and remuneration based on financial instruments) greater than the highest overall remuneration among that assigned to the members of the board of directors, or the management board, and to the general managers of the issuer of financial instruments;
Not applicable.
c) natural persons controlling the issuer of shares, who are employees or who collaborate with the issuer of shares;
Not applicable.
1.4 Description and numerical indication, separated by categories:
a) key executives other than those indicated in letter b) of paragraph 1.3;
Not applicable.
c) any other categories of employees or external staff for whom differentiated characteristics of the plan have been envisaged (for example, executives, middle managers, office staff, etc.)
The Plan provides for the following:
- Beneficiaries who are Vice Presidents are assigned Rights to receive in part Performance Shares (50% of the Pay Opportunity) and in part Restricted Share Units (the remaining 50% of the Pay Opportunity), while
- Other Beneficiaries are assigned Rights to receive Restricted Share Units, as further explained in Section 2.2.
2. REASONS TO ADOPT THE PLAN
2.1 The objectives to be achieved through the allocation of the plans
The purpose of the Equity Plan is to ensure the retention of beneficiaries through a consistency with market best practices, to reward the contribution of beneficiaries in creating shareholder value and foster a culture of merit based on the role and value of each beneficiary.
The adoption of the Equity Plan is also motivated by the need to harmonize the incentive tools used by the Group, in the light of the acquisition of Luminex Corporation and reflect the Group's growing international expansion.
Under the Plan, each Beneficiary is assigned a number of Rights based on the respective Pay Opportunity. More specifically, for Beneficiaries who are Vice Presidents, the Plan assigns Rights to receive in part as Performance Shares (50% of the Pay Opportunity) and in part as Restricted Share Units (the remaining 50% of the Pay Opportunity), while for the Others Beneficiaries, the Plan assigns Rights to receive Restricted Share Units (100% of the Pay Opportunity), as further explained in Section 2.2.
With reference to each Assignment Cycle, once the conditions set out in the Plan for the vesting of the Rights have been verified on the Verification Date, the actual allocation of 100% of the Shares accrued – for Performance Shares based on the result achieved and after verification that the Relationship has been maintained, and for Restricted Share Units subject only to verification that the Relationship has been maintained – will take place during the Vesting Period, with a

quantity for each Tranche equal to 25% of the Accrued Bonus (see Section 4.2 below). This period was considered the most suitable for achieving the incentive and loyalty targets of the Plan.
2.2 Key variables, also in the form of performance indicators, considered for the purpose of allocation plans based on financial instruments
The Plan consists of the free assignment to Beneficiaries of the Rights which (if accrued upon the fulfilment of the conditions, as well as the procedures and terms provided for in the Plan and Plan Regulations) grant the right to receive, without a consideration, the Company's Shares, at a ratio of 1 (one) Share, with regular dividend rights, for every 1 (one) Right accrued (except for any adjustments referred to in Section 3.3).
The Rights covered by the Plan may be assigned only to the Beneficiaries who will be identified from Recipients by the Board of Directors or by the person(s) delegated for this purpose by the Board of Directors.
In particular, the Plan provides for the following.
Vice Presidents
For Beneficiaries of the Plan who are Vice Presidents, the Equity Plan consists of the free assignment to said of Rights to receive Shares based on the Pay Opportunity of each of them, as follows:
- (a) a part of the Rights, amounting to 50% of the Pay Opportunity, carries the right to receive (without a consideration) Performance Shares, in the case of achieving a certain percentage (95%) of the Performance Target by the Company, and the Employment Relationship being maintained (up to the Verification Date and up to each of the Allocation Dates);
- (b) another part of the Rights, amounting to the remaining 50% of the Pay Opportunity, carries the right to receive (without a consideration) Restricted Share Units, if the Employment Relationship is maintained (up to the Verification Date and up to each of the Allocation Dates).
More specifically, the Performance Target to which the accrual of the Rights referring to the Performance Shares is subject in each Assignment Cycle, is the consolidated EBIT of the Group as resulting from the consolidated financial statements relating to the first year of each reference Cycle, adjusted by any amortisation of intangible assets arising from business combinations, extraordinary asset or liability items (e.g. extraordinary non-recurring operations and operations not foreseen in the budget), and neutralised by the impact of the exchange rate, all as approved by the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee.
Therefore, the number of Performance Shares to be assigned to each Vice President under the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and Plan regulations referring to said Vice Presidents, on the basis of the Target Number of Performance Shares, will be determined on the Verification Date, according to the extent to which the Performance Target is actually achieved by the Company, by calculating the linear interpolation, it being understood that, in any case, the total number of Performance Shares assigned to each Vice President cannot exceed 130% of his/her Target number of Performance Shares.
Other Beneficiaries
For Beneficiaries who are Senior Directors, Directors and other key employees of the DiaSorin Group, the Rights (100% of the Pay Opportunity) carry the right to receive (without a consideration) Restricted Share Units, in the case that the Relationship is maintained (up to the Verification Date and up to each of the Allocation Dates).

2.3 Elements underlying the determination of the amount of remuneration based on financial instruments, or the criteria for its determination
With reference to each Cycle, the Board may approve only one annual assignment. At the individual Assignment Dates, the Board of Directors will identify the individual Beneficiaries, the number of Rights to be assigned to each of them with reference to the applicable Cycle, based on the Pay Opportunity of each of them, as well as the terms and conditions for the vesting of the Rights and for the allocation and delivery of the Shares, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Plan Regulations.
The number of Rights assigned to the Beneficiaries in each Assignment Cycle is determined on a discretionary basis, taking into account, in addition to the significance of the organisational position held by the Beneficiaries concerned, market benchmarks, as well as the Company's interest in calibrating long-term incentives as part of its strategies
The assignment of the Rights in an Assignment Cycle is purely discretionary and does not give the Beneficiary any right to receive further assignments in the remaining Cycles of the Plan.
2.4 The reasons behind any decision to assign compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of financial instruments, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries or, parent companies or third-party companies with respect to the group to which they belong; in the event that the aforementioned instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to determine the value attributable to them
Not applicable, as the Plan is based on the assignment of Rights which carry the right to receive Shares in the Company.
2.5 Evaluations regarding significant tax and accounting implications affecting the definition of the plans
There are no significant accounting or tax implications that have affected the definition of the Plan.
2.6 Support for the plan, from the Special Provision, to encourage staff take-up, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112 of law 350 of 24 December 2003
The Plan is not assisted by a Special Provision encouraging staff take-up, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112 of Law 350 of 24 December 2003.
3. APPROVAL PROCESS AND TIMING OF THE ASSIGNMENT OF OPTIONS
3.1 Scope of powers and functions delegated by the shareholders' meeting to the board of directors for the purpose of implementing the plan
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting will be requested to resolve on and approve the Plan, also granting the Board of Directors all necessary or appropriate powers to implement the Plan, including in particular but not limited to all powers to adopt the Plan regulations, identify the Beneficiaries and determine the number of Rights to be assigned to each of them, proceed with assignments to Beneficiaries, as well as deal with all activities, obligations, formalities and communication necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the management and/or

implementation of the Plan, with the right to delegate their powers, duties and responsibilities regarding the performance and adoption of the Plan, as further described in Section 3.2 below.
3.2 Indication of persons in charge of plan administration and their function and competencies
The Board of Directors will be responsible for the performance of the Plan, appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to manage and implement the Plan.
Under the Plan, the Board may delegate its powers, duties and responsibilities regarding the performance and adoption of the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer.
Without prejudice to provisions on verifying the achievement of the Performance Target (see Section 2.2 above), the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee – where requested and within the limits established by law, regulations and/or by the Corporate Governance Code of listed companies approved in January 2020 by the Corporate Governance Committee – may have advisory functions regarding the implementation of the Plan, being assisted, for this purpose, by the Chief Executive Officer and the Human Resources Department.
On 16 December 2021, the Board, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee, resolved, subject to the approval of the Equity Plan by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, to approve the Plan Regulations and give the Chief Executive Officer the widest-ranging powers to ensure, under the terms and according to the procedures provided for by applicable legislation, the fulfilment of all obligations envisaged by the Plan Regulations.
3.3 Any existing procedures for the review of the plans also in relation to any changes in the basic targets
The Board of Directors has the power to stop the Plan and, with the support of the Human Resources Department, has the right to make any changes or additions to the Plan or the Plan Regulations that it deems useful or necessary in order to achieve the Plan targets to a better extent, having regard to the interests of the Beneficiaries, implementing the most appropriate methods, without prejudice to the competency of the Shareholders' Meeting with reference to the Plan pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF.
In the case of extraordinary or unforeseeable events – by way of example but not limited to, extraordinary operations regarding the Company's capital, such as capital reductions for losses due to the cancellation of shares, increases in the Company's capital, with or without a consideration, options offered to shareholders, mergers or spin-offs – the Board of Directors may, under the Plan, adjust the number of Shares due to the Beneficiaries in relation to the Rights, assigned and/or accrued, under which no Shares have yet been assigned and make all amendments and additions to the Plan deemed necessary or appropriate to keep the substantial and economic contents of the Plan and its purposes unchanged, within the limits permitted by applicable legislation in force.
In order to make the above adjustments and amendments, the Board of Directors will proceed according to rules commonly accepted by financial market practices; specific written notification will be given to the Beneficiaries of the aforementioned adjustments.
Without prejudice to the competency of the Shareholders' Meeting with reference to the Plan pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 114-bis of the TUF, the Board of Directors may also:
(i) approve the modification, cancellation and replacement of the Rights and of accrued Rights held by the Beneficiaries with the consent of the Beneficiaries, so that the result corresponds to the best interest of the Company in accordance with the targets of the Plan;

(ii) waive one or more provisions of the Plan in the case of exceptional circumstances (possibly in compliance with provisions in the policy on remuneration and fees paid, adopted by the Company, where applicable), giving written notice to the Beneficiaries concerned. By way of example only, it may resolve (a) to immediately accrue, all or in part, the Rights, even aside from the circumstances described in Paragraphs 4.2 and 4.8; (b) with reference only to the Vice Presidents: (x) in the event of a significant revision of business plan targets, including but not limited to acquisitions, sales of companies or business units, which require a new approval of the same business plan by the Board of Directors, the latter will have the right to approve any changes to the Performance Target, in order to adapt them to the changes made in the business plan; (y) the adjustment of the relevant Performance Target, also aside from the above cases, in order to guarantee, in the interest of the Vice Presidents, a situation that is substantially fair compared to that previously in place in the case that extraordinary and/or unforeseeable situations or circumstances arise that may significantly affect the results and/or the perimeter of the Group or, more generally, the parameters underlying the Performance Target, for the sole purpose of maintaining the objectives of the Plan to continually align corporate targets with the targets underlying the incentive systems of the Vice Presidents, without prejudice, in any case, to regulations on transactions with related parties, where applicable.
Clawback provision
Under the Plan, in cases where, within the term of 3 years from the relevant Allocation Date, the Board of Directors establishes that the Beneficiary (i) has acted fraudulently or with gross negligence to the detriment of the Group, (ii) has violated obligations of loyalty towards the Group, (iii) has behaved in a way that results in significant financial loss for the Group or (iv) has behaved contrary to the law and/or company regulations, the Board of Directors, reserves the right to obtain (a) the return of the Shares from the Beneficiary, minus a number of Shares of a value corresponding to the tax, social security and welfare charges connected with the assignment of the Shares, or if the Shares have already been sold, (b) the return of the sale value from the Beneficiary, minus the amount corresponding to the tax, social security and welfare charges connected with the assignment of the Shares, also by offsetting the Beneficiary's severance pay and/or fees, as applicable.
3.4 Description of the procedures used to determine the availability and assignment of the financial instruments on which the plans are based
The Plan consists of the free assignment to Beneficiaries of the Rights which (if accrued upon the fulfilment of the conditions, as well as the procedures and terms provided for in the Plan) grant the right to receive, without a consideration, the Company's Shares, at a ratio of 1 (one) Share, with regular dividend rights, for every 1 (one) Right accrued (except for any adjustments referred to in Paragraph 3.3 above).
The Beneficiaries will therefore not be required to pay any amount to the Company either for the Assignment or for the Allocation.
A maximum of 300,000 DiaSorin ordinary shares (equal to approximately 0.54% of the current share capital of DiaSorin) will be used for the Equity Plan.
The Company will make the Shares due to the Beneficiary available to said on the basis of the Rights accrued in each Assignment Cycle no later than 30 June of each year (the Allocation Date). The Shares that will be assigned pursuant to the Plan will have regular dividend rights and the same characteristics as the Company's shares outstanding at the relevant Allocation Date and will therefore have coupons outstanding at that date.
The Company offers Beneficiaries the Sell to Cover procedure for the sale of assigned Shares on the market, as an alternative to the direct payment to the Company by the beneficiaries of withholdings taxes payable by them.

3.5 The role played by each director in determining the characteristics of the aforementioned plans; any recurrence of situations of conflicts of interest for the directors concerned
The characteristics of the Plan to be submitted to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting for approval pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 114-bis of the TUF, were determined collectively by the Board, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee.
3.6 For the purposes of the requirements of Article 84-bis, paragraph 1, the date of the decision taken by the competent board to propose the approval of the plans by the shareholders' meeting and any proposal of any remuneration committee.
The Board approved the Plan on 16 December 2021, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee of 9 December 2021.
3.7 For the purposes of the requirements of Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), the date of the decision taken by the competent board regarding the assignment of instruments and any proposal of any remuneration committee put to the board.
Not applicable, because at the date of the Information Document, the Beneficiaries within the category of Recipients had not yet been identified.
3.8 The market price, recorded on the aforementioned dates, for the financial instruments on which the plans are based, if traded on regulated markets
As of 16 December 2021, the date of approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors, the official price of the ordinary shares of DiaSorin was equal to €178.15. As of 9 December 2021, when the Remuneration and Appointment Proposals Committee gave its favourable opinion, the official price of DiaSorin ordinary shares was equal to €178.
3.9 In the case of plans based on financial instruments traded on regulated markets, what are the terms and conditions according to which the issuer takes into account, in identifying the timing of the assignment of the instruments to implement the plans, the possible time coincidence between:
(i) said assignment or any decisions taken in this regard by the remuneration committee, and
(ii) the distribution of any relevant information pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014; for example, if such information is:
a. not already public and capable of positively influencing market prices, or
b. already public and capable of negatively influencing market prices.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Rights are assigned to the Beneficiaries without a consideration. The Rights, once accrued under the terms and conditions established in the Plan Regulations, carry the right to receive Shares, without a consideration. For information on the criteria for determining the number of Rights to be assigned, reference is made to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above.

4. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ASSIGNED INSTRUMENTS
4.1 Description of the structures of compensation plans based on financial instruments
As illustrated in paragraph 2.2. above, the Plan consists of the free assignment to Beneficiaries of the Rights which (if accrued upon the fulfilment of the conditions, as well as the procedures and terms provided for in the Plan) grant the right to receive, without a consideration, the Company's Shares, at a ratio of 1 (one) Share, with regular dividend rights, for every 1 (one) Right accrued (except for any adjustments referred to in Section 3.3).
4.2 Indication of the period of the plan's actual implementation, also with reference to any different cycles envisaged
The Plan is divided into 4 (four) Rights Assignment Cycles, each of which has a four-year Vesting Period during which the Shares, once the conditions set out in the Plan have been verified, are assigned, with a quantity for each Tranche equal to 25% of the Accrued Bonus.
The Vesting Period of each Cycle starts from the Verification Date. To clarify: (i) the Vesting Period of the first Cycle of the Plan corresponds to the financial years 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, (ii) the Vesting Period of the second Cycle of the Plan corresponds to the financial years 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 and (iii) the Vesting Period of the third Cycle of the Plan corresponds to the financial years 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 and (iv) the Vesting Period of the fourth Cycle of the Plan corresponds to the financial years 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029.
With reference to each Cycle, an annual assignment of the Rights may be made in each of the financial years 2022 (first Cycle), 2023 (second Cycle), 2024 (third Cycle) and 2025 (fourth Cycle). The assignment of the Rights in an Assignment Cycle is purely discretionary and does not give the Beneficiary any right to receive further assignments in the remaining Cycles of the Plan.
At the individual Assignment Dates, the Board of Directors will identify the individual Beneficiaries, the number of Rights to be assigned to each of them with reference to the applicable Cycle, based on the Pay Opportunity of each of them, as well as the terms and conditions for the vesting of the Rights and for the allocation and delivery of the Shares, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Plan Regulations.
The number of Rights to be assigned to each Beneficiary will be calculated on the basis of the normal value of the Shares, determined pursuant to Article 9 of Presidential Decree 917/1986, i.e. based on the arithmetic mean of the prices recorded in the month preceding the Assignment Date, taking into consideration the average of exchange rates of the same period.
All the Rights assigned in each Assignment Cycle will accrue at the end of the first financial year included in the same Cycle, following the Board of Director's approval of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the relevant financial year and subject to the conditions indicated in the Plan being met (to verify on the Verification Date).
With reference to each Assignment Cycle, once the conditions set out in the Plan for the vesting of the Rights have been verified on the Verification Date, the actual allocation of 100% of the Shares accrued – for Performance Shares based on the result achieved and after verification that the Relationship has been maintained, and for Restricted Share Units subject to verification that the Relationship has been maintained – will take place during the Vesting Period, with a quantity for each Tranche equal to 25% of the Accrued Bonus.
The Rights of each Assignment Cycle that have not accrued pursuant to and for the purposes of the Plan will automatically lapse and will not be effective or valid.

The Company will make the Shares due to the Beneficiary available to said on the basis of the Rights accrued in each Assignment Cycle no later than 30 June of each year (the Allocation Date). The Shares that will be assigned pursuant to the Plan will have regular dividend rights and the same characteristics as the Company's shares outstanding at the relevant Allocation Date and will therefore have coupons outstanding at that date.
According to the Plan and Plan Regulations, if, after the relevant Assignment Date:
(a) a change of control takes place pursuant to Article 93 of the TUF, even if this does not result in the obligation to launch a takeover bid;
(b) a public purchase offer or a public exchange offer concerning the Company's shares is launched; or
(c) resolutions are passed on transactions which may result, even indirectly, in the permanent withdrawal of shares being listed on regulated markets (delisting) or resolutions and/or commitments are made that make the delisting certain, said circumstances will constitute an acceleration event for the purposes of the vesting of Rights assigned in each Assignment Cycle and not yet accrued at the date of occurrence of the circumstance, provided that, at that time, the Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company or, as applicable, the Subsidiary exists.
4.3 Plan period
Without prejudice to Section 4.2 above, the duration of the Equity Plan will be from approval by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting until the delivery date of the Shares referring to the last Tranche included in the Vesting Period of the fourth Assignment Cycle.
4.4 The maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, assigned in each tax year in relation to the persons identified by name or to the indicated categories
At the date of the Information Document, the Plan had not yet been approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting and Beneficiaries within the category of Recipients had not yet been identified.
The Plan provides for the assignment to Beneficiaries of a maximum of 300,000 Rights, which give the right to receive a maximum of 300,000 Shares.
The Plan does not provide for a maximum number of Rights to be assigned in a tax year.
4.5 The procedures and clauses for implementing the plan, specifying whether the actual allocation of the instruments is subject to the occurrence of conditions or the achievement of certain results, including performance results; descriptions of these conditions and results
As regards the procedures and clauses for implementing the Plan, reference is made to the provisions in individual points of this Information Document (and in particular to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above).
4.6 The indication of any availability restrictions on assigned instruments or on instruments deriving from the exercise of options, with particular reference to the terms within which subsequent transfer to the same company or to third parties is permitted or prohibited

Under the Plan, each Right will be assigned in a personal capacity to each Beneficiary and may not be transferred by deed inter vivos or be subject to restrictions or be the subject of other acts of disposal for any reason whatsoever. If the Beneficiary violates the above provision, the Rights (including accrued Rights) shall be considered as having lapsed, with no effect or validity.
There are no restrictions on the transfer of the Shares assigned following the accrual of the Rights.
4.7 The description of any termination conditions in relation to the allocation of plans, if the recipients carry out hedging operations that allow for the neutralisation of any prohibitions on the sale of assigned financial instruments, also in the form of options, or of the financial instruments resulting from the exercise of such options
Not applicable.
4.8 Description of the effects determined by the termination of the employment relationship
Under the Plan, the accrual of the Rights of the Beneficiaries is subject to the Relationship being maintained from the Assignment Date up to each Allocation Date included in the Vesting Period.
The Regulations of the Plan govern the treatment of the Rights assigned in the event of Termination of the Relationship as follows.
In the event of Termination of the Relationship following a Bad Leaver hypothesis during the applicable Vesting Period, or in any case before the allocation of the Shares on each Allocation Date, the Beneficiary will permanently lose in full the right to receive all the Shares due, as per the Rights accrued up to that moment and not yet assigned.
In the event of termination of the Relationship following a Good Leaver hypothesis during the applicable Vesting Period, or in any case before the delivery of the Shares on each Allocation Date, the Beneficiary (or his/her heirs) will retain the right to receive a pro-rata quantity of Shares corresponding to the pro-rata of the Rights to receive Shares assigned (even if not yet accrued) before the date of Termination of the Relationship.
Finally, in the event the Relationship is transferred to another company of the Group and/or in the event of termination of the Relationship and the concurrent establishment of a new Relationship within the Group, in a capacity as Beneficiary, said will retain all rights assigned by the Plan, since this case does not constitute a hypothesis of Termination of the Relationship which is significant for the purposes of the Plan. On the contrary, in the event that a change of control occurs, this is understood as a transfer, by the Company, to third parties of the Subsidiary to which the Beneficiary belongs.
4.9 Indication of any reasons to cancel the plans
Except as indicated in the previous Sections of the Information Document, there are no other reasons to cancel the Plan.
4.10Reasons relating to a possible "redemption" by the company of the financial instruments covered by the plans, prepared pursuant to Articles 2357 and following of the Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption, indicating whether intended only for particular categories of employees; the effects of the termination of the employment relationship on said redemption

There are no "redemption" clauses adopted by the Company for the Rights covered by the Plan and Shares, without prejudice to the provisions in Section 3.3 above with reference to the socalled clawback provision.
4.11Any loans or other concessions intended to be granted for the purchase of the shares pursuant to Article 2358, paragraph 8 of the Civil Code
Not applicable.
4.12Indication of assessments on the expected cost for the company at the date of the related assignment, as may be determined based on the terms and conditions already defined, by overall amount and in relation to each instrument of the plan
Not applicable, as at the date of this Information Document, the Plan has not yet been approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
4.13Indication of any dilutive effects on the capital determined by the compensation plans
Since the Plan does not provide for the issue of new shares, there are no dilutive effects on the Company's share capital.
4.14Any limits envisaged for the exercise of the right to vote and for the assignment of property rights
Not applicable.
4.15In the event that the shares are not traded on regulated markets, all useful information for a complete assessment of the value attributable to them.
Not applicable as the Shares are listed on Euronext-Milan.
4.24Remuneration plans based on financial instruments (table)
Not applicable.

Dear Shareholders,
you have been called to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to examine and approve the proposal to authorise the purchase and disposal of ordinary shares of DiaSorin S.p.A. (hereinafter "DiaSorin" or also the "Company"), pursuant to the combined provisions of Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, as well as Article 132 of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the "TUF") and related implementing provisions.
By resolution adopted on 22 April 2021, this Shareholders' Meeting authorised the purchase and disposal of ordinary shares of the Company. This purchase authorisation has a duration of 18 months from the date of the aforementioned resolution and, therefore, will expire during the 2022 financial year, while authorisation to the disposal has been granted without time limits.
It appears appropriate that the Company be given the right to proceed with the purchase of treasury shares even after the deadline indicated above, for the purposes referred to in Section 1 below.
It is therefore proposed to Shareholders to resolve on a new authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares according to the terms illustrated in this Report.
1. Reasons for authorising the purchase and disposal of treasury shares.
The purpose of the request for authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares is to give the Company a useful strategic investment opportunity within the scope of the purposes contemplated in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter "MAR") and practices admitted by Consob pursuant to Article 13 of the MAR where applicable, and in particular the purposes illustrated below.
More specifically, this authorisation to purchase treasury shares is required in order to enable the Board of Directors to dispose of treasury shares to be allocated (to) the holders of the equitylinked bonds issued by the Company, as an alternative to the shares resulting from the capital increase approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 4 October 2021, in the event of exercise of the conversion right in accordance with the provisions of the equity-linked loan regulation and (ii) for incentive and loyalty plans adopted by the Company. DiaSorin also reserves the right to allocate the shares covered by this authorisation, or in any case already in the Company's portfolio, to serve the other purposes permitted by current legal provisions in the interest of the Company, as better specified in section 6 below.
2. Maximum number, class and nominal value of the shares to which the authorisation refers.
Authorisation is required for the purchase, even on several occasions, of ordinary shares of the Company with a nominal value of Euro 1.00, with regular dividend rights, up to a maximum total amount of 1,500,000 ordinary shares, equal to 2.68% of the Company's share capital, of which 1,200,000 ordinary shares intended for the equity-linked loan and 300,000 ordinary shares for the incentive and loyalty plans adopted by the Company.

It is therefore proposed to give the Board of Directors a mandate to identify the amount of shares to be purchased in relation to each purchase programme within the scope of the purposes indicated in the previous section, prior to the launch of the programme, in compliance with the maximum limit referred to above.
3. Useful information for the purpose of a complete assessment of compliance with the provision provided for by Article 2357, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code.
At the date of this Report, the share capital of DiaSorin amounted to Euro 55,948,257.00 (fully subscribed and paid-up), divided into 55,948,257 ordinary shares with a par value of Euro 1.00.
At the date of this Report, the Company held 1,192,000 treasury shares in its portfolio, equal to 2.1305% of the share capital. The companies controlled by the Company do not hold DiaSorin shares.
As indicated above, the authorisation to purchase treasury shares is requested for a maximum of 1,500,000 ordinary shares, equal to 2.68% of the Company's share capital, altogether lower than the limit of the fifth part of the share capital referred to in Article 2357, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, without prejudice to the fact that purchases of treasury shares must be considered as authorised, and therefore shall be restricted, pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code, exclusively within and not over the limit of distributable profit and the available reserves resulting from the last financial statements (including interim financial statements) duly approved at the time of carrying out the transaction, taking into account the consideration actually paid by the Company for the aforementioned purchases.
On the occasion of the purchase and sale of treasury shares, the necessary accounting entries will be recorded, in compliance with the provisions of the law and applicable accounting standards.
4. Duration for which authorisation is requested.
The authorisation to purchase treasury shares is required for the period of 18 months from the date of the related resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting. The Board of Directors may at its discretion proceed with the authorised transactions on one or more occasions and at any time, to an extent and in times freely determined in compliance with applicable regulations, in stages deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company. Authorisation to dispose of own shares is requested without time limits.
5. Minimum and maximum consideration of the treasury shares to be purchased
The Board of Directors proposes that purchases of treasury shares be made in compliance with the conditions relating to trading set out in Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 ("Regulation 1052") implementing the MAR and, therefore, at a consideration that is not higher than the highest price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent offer on the trading venues where the purchase is made, it being understood that the unit consideration cannot in any case be lower than a minimum of 15% and not higher than a maximum of 15% compared to the official price of the DiaSorin share of the stock exchange session preceding each individual purchase transaction.
6. Methods through which purchases and disposals will be made.
The Board of Directors proposes that purchases be made in the manner established in applicable provisions of Consob Regulation 11971/1999 (as amended) implementing Article 132 of the TUF, in compliance with the conditions relating to trading referred to in Article 3 of Regulation 1052 and in the stages deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company.

The Board of Directors also proposes to authorise the use pursuant to Article 2357-ter of the Civil Code, at any time, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, of the treasury shares purchased on the basis of this proposal or in any case already in the Company's portfolio: (i) for the convertible bonds issued by the Company, under the terms and conditions established by the same, as well as for incentive and loyalty plans adopted by the Company, with the right of the Board to allocate the shares in the portfolio for the aforementioned uses according to the needs of the Company; and/or (ii) through disposal of the same on the regulated market Euronext Milan or outside said market, possibly also through the sale of rights in rem and/or in personam, including, by way of example, loans on securities, with the terms, methods and conditions of disposal of treasury shares deemed most appropriate in the interest of the Company, in order to achieve the purposes referred to in this Report, in compliance with applicable provisions of law and regulations in force.
The disposal of treasury shares in the portfolio will in any case be carried out in compliance with current laws and regulations on the trading of listed securities, including the practices admitted by Consob pursuant to Article 13 of the MAR, where applicable, and may take place in one or more stages, as deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company.
