The Board of Directors finally approved an updated version of the Procedure on June 29th, 2021, incorporating the latest updates on the subject. The Procedure is available in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section of the Company's website.
During the reporting period, the Board decided not to propose any amendments to the Group's corporate governance systems that would need to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval.
On February 10th, 2022, the Board adopted the Group's Shareholders Engagement Policy, formalizing the procedures aimed at encouraging and managing the communication with shareholders, investors and other key stakeholders, pursuant to Art. 1, Recommendation 3 of the Code.

Pursuant to Art. 16 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors of Digital Bros S.p.A. may be composed of a minimum of five up to a maximum of eleven members.

In accordance with Art. 16 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, based on the candidates lists submitted by shareholders. These lists must present a sequential order of candidates to ensure that minority shareholders have the opportunity to elect a Board member. Candidate lists may be submitted by shareholders or groups of shareholders holding a stake of the share capital at or above the legal threshold set by the applicable Laws and by the Issuers' Regulation. Consob decision n. 83 of July 20th, 2023 set the legal threshold for the corporate bodies' renewal at 4.5% of the share capital. Each shareholder, or shareholders belonging to a voting syndicate, are not allowed to submit more than one list, either directly or through a third party or trust company. Candidates can only be included in one list; otherwise, they will be ineligible.
The candidate lists must be signed by the submitting shareholders and filed at the Company's registered office within the deadlines provided by the Law. The following documents shall be submitted together with the list:
Any list failing to meet the above-mentioned requirements will be disregarded.
Directors shall be elected as follows:
independence requirements shall also be appointed to the Board. Lists that obtain less than 50% of the votes required for submission shall not be taken into consideration.
In the event that the Board members elected according to the above-mentioned procedure do not meet the gender-equality requirements in force at the time of the election, the last elected candidate of the more-represented gender (based on the sequential order of the list receiving the most votes) shall be replaced by the first available candidate of the under-represented gender from the same list. Such process shall be repeated until the gender-equality requirement is fulfilled. If, after such process, the Board does not meet the gender-balance requirements, the Shareholders' Meeting can appoint a director of the under-represented gender through a list of candidates of such under-represented gender by a relative majority vote.
In the event that only one list is submitted, all directors shall be elected from such list, provided it obtains he majority of votes and in any case in compliance with the gender-equality regulations. Should no lists be submitted, or if for any reason no director is appointed, the directors shall be appointed by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the legal majority requirements and the gender-balance regulations. In cases where the entire Board is not renewed, the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting must comply with legal majority requirements and gender-equality regulations, bypassing the aforementioned list-based process.
The candidate lists are published on the Company's website in the Governance/Shareholders' Meeting section.
Pursuant to Art. 17 of the Articles of Association, if the Shareholders' Meeting does not appoint a Chairman, the Board of Directors is responsible for appointing one from among its members.
The Board of Directors can delegate part or all of its powers to one or more Chief Executive Officers and/or to an Executive Committee, within the legal provisions and the Articles of Association.
Pursuant to Art. 16 of the Articles of Association, if the majority of the Directors leave office, the entire Board is considered to have resigned. In this case, the remaining Directors must convene a Shareholders' Meeting to appoint a new Board of Directors. The outgoing Directors will continue to serve until the new Board is elected.
No mechanism is in place to ensure the minimum number of independent Directors required by Law is elected.
The Company set up a procedure to ensure compliance with gender equality provisions, pursuant to Art.1 par.302, 303 and 304 of the Law n. 160/2019
The Articles of Association do not provide for any additional independence requirement in addition to the provisions at Art. 148 of the T.U.F. related to Statutory Auditors.

Pursuant to Principles V and VI of the Corporate Governance Code, the Company's Board of Directors is composed of both Executive and Non-executive Directors, each with adequate professionalism and expertise to effectively perform their duties.

The companies marked with an asterisk (*) in the above list are either listed on regulated markets in Italy or abroad, or they operate in finance, banking or insurance, or they have a significant size and are not part of the Issuer's Group.
Each member of the Board of Directors is required to make informed and independent decisions aimed solely at creating value for shareholders. They must also inform the Board of any directorship or statutory auditor position held in other companies listed on regulated markets, whether in Italy or abroad, as well as in financial, banking, insurance, or significant-sized companies.
There have been no additional changes in the composition of the Board since the fiscal year-end.
The Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors have complied with the gender balance requirements since 2015, as provided by Law no. 120/2011, by the T.U.F., and by the Italian Civil Code. Italian Law no.160/2019 under Art. 1, par. 301, 302 and 303 of amended the Articles 147-ter, par. 1-ter, and 148, par. 1-bis, of the T.U.F., which required listed companies to allocate at least one-third of the seats of their corporate bodies to the least-represented gender, increasing the required seats reserved to the least-represented gender to at least two-fifths. Pursuant to Art. 16 of the Articles of Association, all lists with at least three candidates shall include candidates from both genders, so that the (rounded-up) number of members from the least represented gender shall meet the minimum percentage required by the gender-equality law in effect at the time of appointment. As of June 30th , 2025, four women and five men served as Digital Bros' Directors.
The Company has established additional diversity criteria for the composition of the Board of Directors, beyond the mandatory gender balance requirements, such as the directors' age, educational and professional background. Such additional criteria consist of the following:
Further details are available in the outgoing Board's guidance for the appointment of the Board of Directors, available on the corporate website in the Governance/Shareholders' Meeting/Shareholders' Meeting October 27th , 2023 section.
The appointed Directors meet the above-mentioned characteristics as well as the diversity requirement, as reported in Section 17 - Table 2.
The Group has not implemented a specific diversity policy for its finance and control departments due to their limited sizes. However, the Group's commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in the Group's ESG Policy and in the Code of Conduct, which reject any form of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, political or trade union
affiliation, language, national origin, age, or disability. The Group ensures that its HR processes, including management, recruitment, training, professional development, remuneration, and welfare systems, promote equal opportunities for all employees. The Group is committed to maintaining equality among its workforce, addressing pay gaps and encouraging diversity.
Before the election of its new members, the Board of Directors determined that each director shall not hold such position in more than five listed companies, in Italy or abroad, or in financial, banking and insurance companies, or in companies of significant size, pursuant to the provisions of the Code governing the role and effectiveness of the Board of Directors. Upon acceptance of their office, Directors shall commit to dedicate sufficient time to diligently fulfil their duties. Any position held by a Board member in the Group's subsidiaries is not considered in the calculation.
The current composition of the Board of Directors is consistent with the criteria above.
On February 10th, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted the "Regulation of the Board of Directors" (the "Regulation"), which outlines the procedures governing the Board's activities, including the minutes of the meetings and the procedures concerning the management and dissemination of relevant information to all directors, in compliance with the Laws, regulations, the Articles of Association and the Code. The Regulation also applies to the Board's Committees, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Each Committee also adopted its own regulations, which outline their composition, functions, and the procedures used for convening and managing the Board meetings.
In particular, the Regulation defines:
During the reporting period, the Group complied with the above-mentioned provisions. The minutes have been drafted and timely approved. Directors have always been timely and adequately informed before each Board meeting.
Further details on the activities carried out by the Board of Directors during the reporting period are available in Section
4.1. Section 17-Table 2 details the attendance rates for each meeting.
During the reporting period, the Board of Directors met six times, for an average duration of one hour and fifteen minutes. The Board scheduled five meetings for the fiscal year as of June 30th, 2026, two of which already held.
The Board of Directors appoints its Chairman from among its members, unless the Shareholders' Meeting elects the Chairman during the appointment of the new Board of Directors.
The Chairman leads the Board meetings. In his absence, the Chief Executive Officer, or another Director appointed by the remaining members, presides over the meetings. The Chairman also leads the Shareholders' Meetings.
The Chairman shall promote the proper functioning of the corporate governance system, assuring the balance of powers among the different corporate bodies. and promoting and coordinating the Board activities according to the Company's best interest. The Chairman is responsible for convening Board meetings, setting the agenda, coordinating discussions, and ensuring that all Directors receive adequate information on the agenda items. Additionally, the Chairman has the authority to propose Board resolutions.
The Chairman ensures that the effective management of Board meetings, facilitating constructive debate among members and prioritizing agenda items according to their relevance. In particular, the Chairman:
The Chairman promotes initiatives aimed at improving the industry knowledge of Directors and Statutory Auditors, including the competitive dynamics, their evolution, and key principles for effective risk management, all aimed at achieving the Group's sustainable growth.
The Chairman, together with all other Directors, ensures that the Board's self-assessment process is adequate and transparent.
Following the adoption of the Shareholders Engagement Policy, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who also serves as the Investor Relations manager, is responsible for maintaining adequate communication between the company and its shareholders, analysts, and brokers. After holding meetings with these stakeholders, the CFO reports on the discussions and outcomes at the next Board of Directors meeting.
The Board is supported by the Secretary in the organization of its work, in accordance with the Articles of Association. The Secretary is appointed upon proposal by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Board Regulation, the Secretary shall possess adequate professional qualifications and provide impartial assistance and advice to the Board on all aspects relevant to the proper functioning of the corporate governance system.
In line with Recommendation no. 18 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Secretary supports the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman, if appointed, in ensuring the Board operates smoothly, by making sure that pre-Board meeting information is accurate, complete, clear, and unbiased. The Secretary is also responsible for coordinating the activities carried out by the Board Committees to ensure they are coherent with the other activities.
On November 9th, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed the Executive Director Dario Treves as its Secretary.
For over twenty years, the Company has relied on the contribution of four Executive Directors, each entrusted with clearly defined duties and responsibilities. Among them, the two main shareholders serve as CEOs. The other two Executive Directors are the Chief Financial Officer, who oversees the finance department, the investor relations function and the strategic planning process, and the General Counsel, responsible for corporate affairs and legal activities.
This structure has consistently proven efficient and effective over time, with clearly defined responsibilities assigned to each Executive Director. Accordingly, the Company has resolved to maintain its governance framework unchanged, entrusting the Chairman and CEO with significant management powers but subject to the oversight of the Board and to the requirement of joint signature for transactions exceeding Euro 5 million. The Company's CFO also serves as the Director responsible for the internal control and risk management system.
Abramo Galante and Raffaele Galante have been appointed Chief Executive Officers ("CEOs").
On November 9th, 2023, the Board of Directors granted the CEOs full powers for both ordinary and extraordinary administration, with the exception of those matters reserved to the Board itself by Law, by the Articles of Association, or by a specific resolution of the Board, aiming to ensure efficient and flexible management of the Company's operations.
Abramo Galante was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting on October 27th, 2023.
The Chairman is vested with the powers provided by the Law and by the Articles of Association, including the legal representation of the Company and the authority to sign all transactions. He holds primary responsibility for the management of the Company. The Chairman is not a controlling shareholder.
Pursuant to the comply or explain principle of the Corporate Governance Code, it should be noted that the Board entrusted the Chairman with the role as CEO, with broad management powers. While this structure departs from the Code's recommendations, the Board of Directors has considered it to be appropriate given the specific characteristics of the Board's and the Group's structure, as well as in light of the dynamics of the video game industry.
The combination of roles provides continuity and consistency in strategy definition and execution within a highly competitive and fast-changing market. The Board's decision is further supported by the Chairman's extensive experience, expertise, and entrepreneurship, which are regarded as strategic assets for the Group's sustainable growth.
Nevertheless, the Chairman's executive role is limited in both scope and value and balanced by the presence of another CEO and by the broad remit of the Board. To this end, the Board appointed two CEOs, Abramo and Raffaele Galante, each authorized to sign independently for contracts and transactions up to Euro 5 million, while joint signatures are required above this threshold. This structure reduces the concentration of powers and ensures shared decision-making on all material
The Board has also reinforced the role of the independent Directors, established committees composed exclusively of independent members, and appointed a Lead Independent Director as reference for non-executives. The Chairman's role is subject to ongoing monitoring by the Board and the Board of Statutory Auditors, ensuring transparency and proper governance.
Finally, the effective functioning of the Board is supported by the three additional executive Directors, each with distinct professional backgrounds and over twenty years of experience in managing board-related matters. This composition ensures diversity in skills and perspectives, thereby contributing to the quality and balance of the decision-making processes.
No Executive Committee has been established.
The CEOs shall periodically report to the Board of Directors on the activities performed under their powers, as provided by Article 2381 of the Italian Civil Code. This includes providing detailed information to the Board and the Statutory Auditors about all significant operations and financial transactions carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries, atypical or unusual transactions, transactions with related parties, and any transactions that may involve potential conflicts of interest, particularly the ones that are not subject to direct review and approval by the Board of Directors.
During the reporting period, the CEOs consistently reported to the Board on the activities conducted under their authority and provided updates on significant transactions. These reports were presented either at the first Board meeting following the completion of the transactions or at least on a quarterly basis.
In addition to the CEOs, the other executive Directors are:
The number and expertise of the Company's non-executive Directors ensure that their perspective can significantly influence the decision-making process. Non-executive Directors contribute with their specific professional expertise to the Board meetings and committees, providing valuable knowledge and skills to the Board resolutions, pursuant to the Company's best interests. Pursuant to Art. 148, paragraph 3 of the T.U.F. and Art. 3 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board assessed the independence of Directors Carlotta Ilaria D'Ercole, Susanna Pedretti and Laura Soifer at the time of their first appointment. The three Directors confirmed their independence pursuant to Art. 148, paragraphs 3 and 4 of the T.U.F. and the outcome of the assessment was communicated through the press release published on November 9th, 2023.
The assessment of the Directors' independence was carried out in accordance with the Code, using a prudent approach. To maintain impartiality, each independent Director abstained from voting during their own independence evaluation. The Board performed a comprehensive review of any relationships that could potentially hinder the Directors' independence, relying on the information supplied by the Directors themselves as well as any other relevant available data. The Board concluded that none of the existing relationships could prevent these Directors to act independently, taking into account their professionality.
The Board identified additional qualitative/quantitative criteria to assess their independence. According to such specific criteria, Directors are assumed to have a significant relationship with the Company if, in the current or previous fiscal year, the total remuneration for his/her services is either double the amount of the standard compensation for their role as Director or if it exceeds 30% of their total annual income.
Independent Directors are expected to remain independent throughout their tenure and shall immediately inform the Board if any situation arises that could potentially undermine their independence.
The Board performs an assessment to verify that the persistence of independence requirements at least one a year. The latest assessment was performed on September 16th, 2025, when the Board confirmed the independence of Directors D'Ercole, Pedretti, and Soifer, based on all relevant information provided by the independent Directors, as well as the criteria established by the T.U.F., the Code, and the above-mentioned qualitative and quantitative criteria.
The Board of Statutory Auditors oversaw the process to ensure the proper application of the criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, without any remarks.
During the reporting period, the independent Directors met once, on September 18th, 2024 when they discussed the adequacy of the pre-meeting information, pursuant to Recommendation no. 14 of the Code.
The Independent Directors bring impartial perspectives to Board meetings, especially when assessing any potential conflict of interest between the Company and its controlling shareholders.
On November 9th, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Laura Soifer as the Lead Independent Director, in line with the previous term. In compliance with Recommendation no.14 of the Code, the Lead Independent Director is entrusted with:
The Company adopted a specific procedure for the internal management of corporate documents and information and their dissemination to the public, particularly focusing on privileged information. The Company adopted an Inside Information Procedure to ensure the proper identification, handling, and disclosure of privileged information to the market, thereby preventing insider trading and market manipulation. Following the regulatory changes introduced by EU Regulation no. 596/2014, as subsequently amended (the "MAR Regulation"), on October 2 nd , 2019, the Board of Directors approved an updated version of the Inside Information Procedure, which:
On September 13th , 2016, the Board of Directors approved an Internal Dealing procedure (subsequently amended on September 12th , 2017) which:
Pursuant to the Company's Internal Dealing procedure, insiders and closely related people are restricted from performing any transaction before the information is made public. They should also refrain from all transactions in the 30 days preceding the Board meetings for the approval of quarterly or annual financial statements, for the discussion on the proposed payments of advances on dividends, for the approval of preliminary results and for the proposals concerning dividends to shareholders. Such obligation does not apply to the purchase of shares under stock-option and stock-grant plans, without prejudice to the restrictions to selling the during such periods.
The above-mentioned procedures are available in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section of the website.
On November 9th, 2023, the new Board of Directors established the Nomination Committee, the Control and Risks Committee and the Remuneration Committee to support and streamline its duties. Given the limited complexity of the Company's related parties' transactions, the Board of Directors resolved to delegate the functions previously assigned to the Related Parties Committee to the Control and Risks Committee. The Control and Risks Committee acting as Related Parties Committee, is convened only when required and operates in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Code.
The Board, given the Company's decision to engage an external professional (Deloitte & Touche S.p.A.) to assist the internal team with the planning phase of sustainability-related activities, has postponed the establishment of an ESG Committee to a later stage, when it will be required to support a sustainability plan for the maintenance and further development of such ESGrelated activities.
The Board of Directors has not retained any of the functions that the Corporate Governance Code suggests should be delegated to specific committees.
Pursuant to Recommendation no. 17 of the Code, the Board selected the members of each internal committee prioritizing their professional expertise, ensuring a balanced distribution of responsibilities and avoiding an excessive concentration of assignments.
Sections 7.2 - Nomination Committee, 8.2 - Remuneration Committee, 9.2 - Control and Risks Committee, 10 - Related Parties Committee, and 17 - Summary Tables of the Report provide further details about the composition and functioning of the committees.
The Regulation adopted by the Board of Directors also applies to its committees, where feasible. It outlines the procedures for preparing and approving the minutes of the meeting, as well as the rules governing the circulation of pre-meeting information, including the required deadlines and confidentiality, safeguarding the timeliness and completeness of information flows. Further details about the Regulation are provided in Section 4.4.
As at the reporting date, all committees adopted their own regulations, outlining their composition, functions and governing procedures concerning their convening and their duties.
No other committees have been established other than those provided by the Law or the Code.
The Board performs a self-assessment at least once every three years, before the new Board of Directors is appointed- The assessment evaluates the size, composition, and effective functioning of the Board and its committees, also in consideration of the role of the Board in the definition of corporate strategies, in monitoring business performances and in overseeing the adequacy of the internal control and risk management systems.
The Board last performed its self-assessment on May 14th, 2024, when it analyzed its executive, non-executive and independent components and reviewed the managerial and professional skills of its members. The Board was not supported by any external consultant for its self-assessment. The Board has resolved that its composition ensures the efficiency of its operations, considering the size and complexity of the Group.
In compliance with the applicable laws and regulations, or as deemed necessary, the Board of Directors:
The Board's guidelines are made available on the Company's website before the publication of the Notice of call of the Shareholders' Meeting. The guidelines outline the ideal skills and the managerial/professional profiles for the new Board members, taking into account the Company's characteristics, the diversity criteria outlined in Principle VII and Recommendation no. 8 of the Code, as well as the guidance on the maximum number of offices as Directors pursuant to Recommendation no. 15 of the Code. The Nominating Committee is currently working on the definition of a succession plan for Executive Directors.
On November 9th , 2023, the Board of Directors appointed the new members to the Nomination Committee.
As of June 30th, 2025, the Nomination Committee is composed of three independent Directors: Carlotta Ilaria D'Ercole (Chairman), Susanna Pedretti and Laura Soifer.
During the Reporting Period, the Nomination Committee held two meetings, with an average duration of one hour. All members attended the meetings, together with the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and, on one occasion, the Executive Director Stefano Salbe. During the reporting period, the Nomination Committee analyzed the Letter of the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee for 2025, focusing on the recommendation related to the assignment of executive powers to the Chairman. The Committee also continued with its work in preparation of a succession plan for the Group's top management, covering both short and medium/long-term strategies.
The Committee approved its regulation, defining its composition, functions, the procedures for convening and managing
meetings and for drafting the minutes of its meetings. The chairman of the Committee is in charge of reporting on its activities to the following Board of Directors meeting.
The Nomination Committee scheduled two meetings for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 2026, none of which held as at the reporting date.
Pursuant to the Recommendation no.19 of the Code, the Nomination Committee supports the Board with:
The Shareholders' Meeting held on October 27th, 2023 set the total remuneration for Directors for the 2024-2026 period at Euro 1,200,000.
On September 27th, 2023, the Board of Directors defined the Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors, non-executive Directors and key managers with strategic responsibilities. On October 27th, 2023, the Shareholders' Meeting approved the Company's Remuneration Policy, as outlined in Section I of the Remuneration Report, pursuant to Article 123-ter, par. 3 of the T.U.F.. The Remuneration Policy will remain in effect until the expiration of the current Board of Directors, namely until the approval of the financial statements as of June 30th, 2026.
On October 28th, 2024, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved in favour of Section II of the Group's Remuneration Policy, pursuant to art. 123-ter, par. 4 of the T.U.F..
The Remuneration Policy aims to motivate Executive Directors and key managers to fulfil their roles and responsibilities striving to achieve high-performance standards. It ensures an appropriate balance between the variable and fixed components, balancing short-term and medium- to long-term objectives. The purpose is to align the interests of Executive Directors and key managers with the goal of creating long-term value for shareholders and ensuring the Group's long-term sustainability.
A significant, yet balanced, portion of the remuneration of Executive Directors and key managers is linked to the Group's financial performance and the achievement of predefined goals. The variable component is expressed as a percentage of the fixed remuneration, therefore subject to maximum limits. The fixed component is set at a level that is sufficient to fairly compensate the beneficiaries in the event that the no variable remuneration is paid due to unmet performance. The performance objectives are set in advance and may be updated annually to reflect the Group's strategic priorities and based on the proposals of the Remuneration Committee. The variable component is disbursed only after the Board's approval of the draft financial statements, a timing deemed suitable for the business and its risk profile. The Board of Directors is not allowed to grant one-time extraordinary bonuses.
The Board also introduced a medium/long-term variable component for the period June 30th , 2021 - June 30th , 2027, benefiting Executive Directors and specific professionals within the Group. Such medium/long term objective consists of a monetary incentive ("LTI Objective") linked to the growth of the Group's EBIT margin. The LTI Objective is structured over three payout periods: biennial for the first two and triennial for the third. The LTI Objective shall be paid within 45 days from the Shareholders' Meeting approval of the financial statements as of June 30th, 2022 for the first period, as of June 30th, 2024 for the second one and as of June 30th, 2027 for the last period.
The LTI Objective represents a percentage of the Group's consolidated EBIT generated during the reference period, decreased by Euro 17.5 million per year. The LTI Objective is allocated to the beneficiaries based on their individual participation percentages. The applicable percentage for the calculation of the LTI Objective increases overtime: 6% in the first period, 9% in the second period and 12% in the final period. The LTI Objective has no absolute cap on the incentive value, though the total cost for the Group may not exceed 5% of consolidated EBIT for each period. The Board has assessed that, by directly linking remuneration to EBIT growth, the LTI Objective is predetermined, measurable, and aligned with the creation of longterm value. The absence of an absolute cap has been mitigated by the ceiling set as a percentage of consolidated EBIT.
The Group provided for contractual obligations that allow the Company to reclaim or withhold the variable component of the remuneration in the event of errors in the data used for its determination.
The Remuneration Policy does not include any indemnities for early termination of office or employment.
The Remuneration Committee performed a benchmarking analysis on the Remuneration Policy, comparing the total remuneration for Executive Directors to the remuneration policies set by peers and competitors, both in absolute terms and in terms of pay mix. Further details are available on the corporate website under the Governance/Remuneration section.
Further details on the remuneration of Executive Directors and key managers with strategic responsibilities are provided in the Remuneration Report, pursuant to Art. 123-ter of the T.U.F., available in the Governance/Remuneration section of the Company website.
On January 11th , 2017, the Shareholders' Meeting approved the "2016-2026 Stock Options Plan" ("Stock Option Plan") benefiting a limited number of the Group's Directors and key managers, which were identified by the Board of Directors.
By including the Stock Options Plan in the Remuneration Policy, the Group aims to attract, retain, and motivate talented professionals, with an emphasis on generating value over the medium/long-term for itsstakeholders. In particular, with respect to Directors, the stock options are intended to strengthen the medium-to-long-term focus of their objectives. This tool could prove especially effective should the appointment of Executive Directors in future years extend beyond the Group's historical shareholder base. The flexibility of stock options, both in terms of eligibility criteria and conditions for exercise, helps align the interests of Executive Directors with the overarching goal of creating long-term shareholder value. Additionally, the Stock Options Plan aims to incentivize key managers to become shareholders, thereby enabling them to benefit directly from the Group's results and growth. It also contributes to fostering the internal stability of the shareholder base, necessary to successfully navigate the challenges of the videogame markets, which is undergoing rapid transformation, both technologically and in terms of competition.
The options granted under the Stock Option Plan have an average vesting period of at least three years. For each vesting period, Executive Directors must hold at least 20% of the shares obtained by exercising their options until the end of their terms of office.
The remuneration of non-executive Directors is fixed and unrelated to the Company's financial performance. Their remuneration is set to reflect the experience, professional profiles, and the commitment required for their roles on the Board. The Board of Directors is responsible for identifying the fixed remuneration for non-executive Directors.
Non-executive Directors do not participate in any share-based incentive plans

The internal control and risk management system is the set of processes aimed at monitoring the Company's operational efficiency, the reliability of the financial information, its compliance with laws and regulations and its ability to safeguard its assets. Pursuant to the Code, the Group's internal control system involves:
The internal control and risk management system consists of the rules, procedures, and organizational structures designed to ensure that the Company is managed effectively and fairly, pursuant to the pre-defined objectives. It involves identifying, measuring, managing, and monitoring the most relevant operational and financial risks. The risk management system also includes the internal controls related to the financial reporting process, which, contribute to protecting the Company's assets, ensuring the Group's operations are efficient and effective, ensuring that the financial reports are accurate, reliable and prepared in compliance with the laws and regulations in force at each period.
The Board of Directors takes into account the best practices and reference models related to the internal control system
available on the market, in Italy and internationally, adapting them to the Group's processes and organizational structures.
In order to ensure the effective and proper application of these provisions and, more generally, of all the rules and procedures governing the processes for collecting, processing, presenting, and disseminating corporate information, the Company has adopted an internal control system set out in the Internal Control Manual, which is periodically updated and submitted to the Board for approval. Following each revision and approval, the Internal Control Manual is circulated to the Group's organizational structures.
The purpose of the Internal Control Manual is to facilitate consultation by Directors and/or employees with strategic functions and/or business line responsibilities of the procedures identified by the Board of Directors as essential to meeting the requirements of internal control and risk management.
The Internal Control Manual describes the main tools adopted by the Group to meet the internal control objectives:
Main features of the Internal Control and Risk Management System relating to the financial reporting process in terms of Art. 123-bis(2)(b) of the T.U.F.
The process for the identification of financial reporting risks falls under the risk identification, management and internal control system, which ensures that the financial information is reliable, accurate and timely.
The Group aligned with the following guidelines to design, implement, monitor and update its Internal Control System related to the financial reporting process, pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations:
Risk identification is an ongoing process that requires the Board of Director and first-level departments to periodically meet and coordinate. This activity is summarised in a risk matrix that is prepared and regularly reviewed by the Executive Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system and submitted to the Control and Risks Committee. The risk matrix provides a brief description foreach risk, identifies a gross risk rating (based on a probability/impact matrix), any mitigating factors and/or the procedures implemented by the Group to mitigate and monitor such risk, which could impact the final net risk rating.
The risk matrix outlines how each risk could impact the Group's activity and financial reporting if the internal control objectives are not met.
The CEOs and the Executive Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system analyze the risk matrix and the associated rating assessment. The Board of Statutory Auditors oversees the risk assessment process. Risks with a high net rating, whether operational or related to the financial reporting, are described in a dedicated section of the consolidated
The identified weaknesses and any areas for improvement highlighted by this process are then used to plan the work of the internal control functions and to enhance the Group's control mechanisms, especially those related to financial risks. Each risk is assessed based on the specific impact on the Group's operations.
The assessment is based on the relevance of the potential impact of the risk on the Group's operations.
The Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system performs such controls every six months and updates the Board of Directors on its findings.
The activities related to the production and development of video games, as well as the publishing of video games developed by third parties, are carried out by the Parent Company and/or by the Italian subsidiaries and directly managed by the two CEOs within the limits of the powers granted by the Board, either jointly or separate. The Board of Directors manages any activity concerning amounts exceeding the powers granted to the CEOs.
The homogeneity of the processes implemented at Group level, combined with the use of a shared ERP platform across all subsidiaries, with automatic and preventive controls over purchasing and sales activities, ensures effective oversight of the single entities, limiting the delegated powers of subsidiaries and mitigating the risk of fraud or errors in the financial reporting process. The CEOs grant limited payment authorizations for smaller amounts to selected key personnel, thereby further minimizing the risk of material errors in the financial reporting. The progressive digitization of the market led to a centralized acquisition process for content, production and marketing services, as well as sales activities, simplifying the organizational structure of local subsidiaries.
The shared ERP platform also enables:
Although all relevant information is easily available at any time, the Parent Company requires each subsidiary to submit quarterly reports.
The Group's short-term planning and control processes are managed on a quarterly basis, with a structured system of coordination meetings involving the CEOs and the heads of the different operating segments and departments. The Group monitors the accuracy of these plans on an ongoing basis, through its business intelligence system and regular coordination meeting, at least once per quarter.
The medium-long-term strategic planning process involves a smaller group of individuals (Executive Directors and the heads of the operating segments) and is performed every six months, reviewing how the process is progressing and detecting any deviation from the strategic plan.
The short-term planning program (forecasts), together with the related variance analysis, are submitted every quarter to the
Board of Directors for review and approval. Long-term strategic plans are submitted for the Board's approval every six months.
On March 6th, 2025, the Board of Directors performed its assessment of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, finding it appropriate and effective for the business and its associated risk profile.

Given the Group's limited size and complexity, no additional departments or roles have been designated within the internal control framework.
Pursuant to Article 6 (Principle XX) of the Corporate Governance Code and in line with best practices for listed companies, the Company has established a structured coordination process involving the different corporate functions engaged in the internal control and risk management system. Regular joint meetings are held between the Executive Director responsible for the internal control and risk management system, the Control and Risk Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Supervisory Board, and the Head of Internal Audit, with the aim of identifying areas of intervention and assigning relevant responsibilities to each function.

The Board of Directors shall review and approve any related parties transaction performed by the Group's companies. On November 11th , 2010, the Board of Directors approved a procedure for managing related parties transactions, reflecting the amendments introduced by Consob resolution n. 17221 of March 12th , 2010. The procedure sets general criteria for the identification of material related parties transactions. The most recent version of the procedure is available in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section of the Company's website, as approved by the Board on June 29th, 2021.
All related parties transactions shall comply with the principles of substantive and procedural fairness pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations. The Board of Directors establishes the criteria for identifying such transactions, taking into account the definitions provided by the international accounting standards or the ones issued by regulatory authorities.
All related-party transactions are subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors. The Board ensures that it is fully informed of the nature of the relationships, the economic terms and conditions, the methods and timing for executing the transaction, as well as the interests of each party and the rationale underlying the transaction, verifying how it aligns with the Group's strategic objectives. Adequate information on any potential current and future risks for the Company and its subsidiaries, together with any other possible implications for the Group's activities, must also be provided.
In cases where directors are involved in a related-party transaction, whether directly or indirectly, they are required to disclose all relevant information regarding the nature, terms, origin, and extent of their interest in the transaction to the other Board members and to the Board of Statutory Auditors. Such disclosure may be made either verbally during Board meetings or in writing to the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and must be formally reported at the following Board meeting.
The definition of related parties aligns with that provided in International Accounting Standard IAS 24 on the disclosure of related-party transactions, as adopted pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002. Should the Board identify any material relationship involving a director or another related party, it shall request immediate clarification, even where the transaction is indirect or only potential. During the Board resolution, the director involved in the transaction is required to leave the meeting to ensure impartiality.
On 9 November 2023, in light of the limited complexity of related-party transactions, the Board of Directors confirmed its decision to assign the responsibilities previously held by the Related Parties Committee to the Control and Risk Committee, to be convened only when necessary. As previously mentioned, the Control and Risks Committee is composed of the three independent directors Carlotta Ilaria D'Ercole, Susanna Pedretti and Laura Soifer (Chairman).
The Control and Risks Committee, in its capacity as Related Parties Committee, met twice during the fiscal year for an average of forty-five minutes. All members attended the meeting, together with the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Executive Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system.
During the reporting period, the Control and Risks Committee, in its capacity as Related Party Committee, examined the reports implementing the new procedure approved on June 29th , 2021, especially with regards to the rental agreement between the subsidiary 505 Games (US) and Matov LLC and the rent agreement for the Milan headquarters between Digital Bros S.p.A. and Matov Imm. S.r.l.. On both occasions, the Committee was assisted by specialized and independent professionals. The meetings were minuted, and the Chairman of the Committee reported to the following Board of Directors' meeting about its findings.
No changes in the composition of the Control and Risks Committee occurred after the reporting date.
According to Art. 25 of the Articles of Association, all acting and alternate members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be elected by a list-based voting procedure.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is composed of three statutory auditors and two substitute statutory auditors, who remain in office for three fiscal years, with the possibility of being re-elected. The Auditors' remuneration and terms of office are set in line with the applicable regulations. Minority interests are entitled to elect one statutory auditor and one substitute statutory auditor.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is appointed in accordance with the applicable gender balance provisions, based on the candidate lists submitted by the shareholders. These lists shall present the candidates in sequential order and be divided into two sections: one for statutory auditors and another for substitute statutory auditors.
The lists, signed by the submitting shareholders, shall be filed within the deadlines and according to the procedures specified by the applicable law. Shareholders, either individually or jointly with others, can submit the candidate lists only if they represent a percentage of voting rights that meets or exceeds the threshold mandated by the relevant laws and regulations at the time of the appointment. The required percentage is determined based on the number of shares held by the shareholder(s) on the day the list is submitted. During the most recent appointment of Digital Bros' corporate bodies, the quorum pursuant to Article 147-ter of the T.U.F. was set at 4.5% of the share capital, based on Consob determination n. 83 of July 20th, 2023.
The shares holdings may also be certified after the candidate list is submitted, provided that the submission occurred within the set deadline.
Each candidate may appear only on one list, otherwise they shall be deemed ineligible.
Candidates who are ineligible or disqualified under the applicable laws and regulations, or who do not meet the necessary requirements, including the minimum shareholding percentage, cannot be included in any submitted list. Each candidate is required to file a statement accepting their nomination, along with a list of any positions held in other companies. Additionally, within the same deadline, candidates must certify, under their own responsibility, that they are not subject to any conditions of ineligibility or incompatibility with the role and that they meet all legal requirements. Along with the submitted candidate lists, the shareholders shall submit a certification from an authorised broker confirming ownership of the required number of shares, within the deadlines and under the conditions established by the Law.
For all lists containing three or more candidates, the gender balance requirement mandates that the list includes a minimum number of candidates from both genders, ensuring that the rounded-up number of candidates for both statutory auditors and alternate statutory auditors from the less-represented gender shall meet the percentage required by the applicable laws and regulations. Any list that fails to meet these requirements shall be disregarded.
Without prejudice to the applicable provisions on gender balance, statutory auditors are elected as follows:
The first candidate from the second most voted list shall be appointed as chairman.
Should such procedure fail to ensure compliance with the gender balance provisions, the candidates on the majority list will be substituted accordingly, necessary substitutions will be made from the candidates on the majority list, following their sequential order.
If only one list is submitted, all candidates will be appointed from that list, with the first candidate serving as Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, ensuring compliance with gender balance provisions. Should a statutory auditor no longer meet the legal requirements, they must leave office. In the event that one statutory auditor must be replaced, the substitute statutory auditor from the same list will take their position. The minority statutory auditor will continue to serve as Chairman, provided gender balance requirements are met.
The provisions outlined above regarding the election of statutory auditors do not apply to Shareholders' Meetings convened for the purpose of supplementing the Board of Statutory Auditors through the appointment or replacement of a statutory auditor or the Chairman following their resignation or termination. In such cases, however, the applicable regulations on gender balance shall continue to apply. Shall two or more lists other than the first receive the same number of votes, the youngest candidates from the minority lists will be elected, until all vacant positions have been assigned, complying with applicable gender balance provisions.
The statutory auditors shall ensure confidentiality is maintained for all documents and information obtained during their office and adhere to the Company's procedures governing the dissemination of corporate documents and news. They have the right to seek clarification from the Directors on any information and Company's operations, including the possibility to carry out inspections and audits at any time, individually or jointly.

The statutory auditors shall provide timely information about all transactions in which they have a direct or indirect interest.

The Investor Relations manager is responsible for receiving and addressing requests from shareholders, analysts, retail investors, and the media. Other Board members, such as the chairman members of the committees, may also participate in these discussions, when needed.
The dialogue with shareholders involves all subjects under the responsibility of the Board of Directors and its committees, including:
Further details on the Shareholders Engagement Policy are available on the corporate website under the Sustainability section.
The Shareholders' Meeting, when duly convened, represents all shareholders and its resolutions, adopted in accordance with the law and the Articles of Association, are legally binding on all shareholders. Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meetings are duly constituted and pass resolutions with the legally required majorities.
Pursuant to Article 10 of the Articles of Association, General Meetings, both ordinary and extraordinary, are convened in compliance with legal requirements and the applicable regulations. The notice convening the meeting shall detail the date, time, and place of the meeting, include the list of agenda items, and provide any additional information required by the Law. The notice convening the Shareholders' Meeting is published on the corporate website. The Board of Directors may determine, when deemed appropriate, that the ordinary and/or extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings shall be held in a single call.
The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on October 28th , 2024 approved amendments to Articles 11 and 12 of the Articles of Association in order to allow greater flexibility and organizational efficiency in managing the Shareholders' Meetings. The amendments concerned the possibility for shareholders to participate in the meetings exclusively through telecommunication systems and the requirement to vote only through the Company's designated representative pursuant to Article 135-undecies, paragraph 1, of the T.U.F., as introduced by the Capital Markets Law.
Pursuant to Article 11 of the Articles of Association, shareholders entitled with voting rights in accordance with the applicable legal provisions may attend the Shareholders' Meeting. The right to participate is confirmed in accordance with the terms established by the laws and regulations in force at the time, and by the Articles of Association.
Under Article 12.1 of the Articles of Association, any shareholder entitled to attend a Shareholders' Meeting may be represented by a written proxy in accordance with applicable law. The proxy may be submitted to the Company via certified email, as indicated in the meeting notice, or by any other method specified therein. Pursuant to Article 12.2, shareholders entitled to vote may participate exclusively through the Company's designated representative under Article 135-undecies of the T.U.F., unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise when convening a specific meeting. Where participation and voting rights are not required to be exercised exclusively through the designated representative, Article 12.3 provides that, for each meeting, the Company may appoint in the notice of meeting a person to whom shareholders may grant a proxy with voting instructions on all or part of the agenda, in accordance with the deadlines and procedures established by law. Finally, under Article 12.4, the Board of Directors may stipulate in the meeting notice that the Shareholders' Meeting be held entirely via telecommunication means.
The duly constituted General Shareholders' Meeting represents all shareholders, and its resolutions, made in compliance with the Law and the Articles of Association, are binding on all shareholders, including those who are absent or dissenting.
The Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting is responsible for verifying the validity of the proxies and the right to attend the meeting within the stipulated terms. The Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting, or his appointed agent, verifies the rights to intervene of the proxies and the validity of the documents authorizing representation.
The Shareholders' Meetings are chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In the event of his absence, inability, or unwillingness to attend, the Deputy Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, or any other member designated by the Board of Directors will preside over the Shareholders' Meetings. If none of these individuals are available, the Shareholders' Meeting will appoint its chairman, who does not need to be a shareholder of the Company. All resolutions passed by the Shareholders' General Meetings are documented in minutes signed by the Chairman and the Secretary.
When required by law or deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, the minutes of Shareholders' Meetings shall be drawn up by a Registered Notary.
No provisions other than those prescribed by law apply to amendments to the Articles of Association.
The regulation of the Shareholders' meetings was approved on September 6th, 2000, to ensure the orderly and effective conduct of Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' meetings. The regulation is available on the corporate website, in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section.
On October 28 th, 2024, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting was held at the presence of seven Directors, including the Chairman, the three Statutory Auditors and the designated representative.
No chairman or member of the Board's committees reported to the Shareholders' General Meeting about their activities.
During the Reporting Period, there were no significant changes in the composition of the share capital.
There are no additional corporate governance practices on top of the above-mentioned procedures concerning the organisational model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.
There have been no changes after the closing of the reporting period.
On March 6 th , 2025, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors analyzed and reviewed the recommendations included in the Letter from the President of the Corporate Governance Committee ("Letter") published on December 17th , 2024.
The Letter provides guidelines on the application of the Code, based on the Corporate Governance Committee's monitoring activities, as well as specific recommendations on the following topics:
The Committee encourages companies to provide adequate disclosure regarding the application of Recommendation 11 of the Code, specifically with respect to the deadlines for the timely delivery of documentation to Directors and the measures adopted to ensure its confidentiality. The disclosure should also confirm compliance with these deadlines and indicate whether any exceptions to the timeliness of information were allowed for confidentiality reasons. The Letter further recommends that any non-application of Recommendation 11 shall be clearly stated in the Corporate Governance Report, explaining the reasons and the decision-making process behind it, as well as the measures taken to ensure continued compliance with Principle IX of the Code.
Concerning the Group, no instances of non-compliance with Recommendation 11 occurred during the fiscal year. Pre-Board meeting documentation was provided to directors in a timely manner, at least two business days before each Board meeting. At the start of each meeting, the Chairman, with the support of the Secretary, ensures that all Board members have received complete and adequate information on the agenda items, and provides additional clarification on any topics deemed necessary to facilitate a thorough understanding of the matters under discussion.
The Letter was analyzed by the Board of Statutory Auditors on March 6 th, 2025, which confirmed that the Board of Directors' regulations effectively support transparent and informed decision-making processes and comply with the principles of sound administration, confirming that no instances of non-compliance with such procedures occurred during the reporting period.
The second recommendation concerns the application of Principle XV of the Code regarding the remuneration policy for executive directors and top management, specifically the provision under letter c), which requires that performance targets linked to variable components of remuneration be predetermined and measurable. The Letter encourages companies to provide all relevant information on the application of Recommendation 27, explaining any instances of non-compliance, particularly in cases where specific evaluation metrics are not defined, or in the case of one-off extraordinary payments for which the
nature, objectives, and approval process are not specified.
A significant but balanced portion of the Company's remuneration for Executive directors and executives with strategic responsibilities is linked to the Company's financial results and the achievement of predefined objectives. This variable component, expressed as a percentage of the fixed remuneration, is subject to maximum limits. Performance targets are predetermined and updated each fiscal year in line with the Group's strategic priorities, upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee.
During the fiscal year, the variable component (MBO) was defined as follows:
The variable component is disbursed after the Board approves the Group's draft financial statements. Such timing is in line with business characteristics and the associated risk profile.
Further details on the different remuneration components are available in the Remuneration Policy published on the Company's website under Governance/Remuneration.
The Committee requests that issuers provide adequate justification whenever the Chairman of the Board is also appointed as Chief Executive Officer or is granted significant management powers, as indicated in Recommendation 4 in application of Principle V of the Code.
As described in paragraph 4.6 of the Report, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to grant the Chairman, Abramo Galante, broad management powers while also appointing him as CEO. Although this structure represents a deviation from the Code's recommendations, it was considered appropriate and functional given the specific characteristics of the Board, the Group, and the video game sector.
The combination of roles is intended to ensure continuity and consistency in the formulation and implementation of corporate strategies within a competitive and constantly evolving digital and video game industry. The concentration of responsibilities in the Chairman is further justified by his longstanding experience, specialized expertise and entrepreneurship, all of which are deemed strategically important for the sustainable growth and development of the Group.
The powers and responsibilities assigned to the Chairman are limited by matter and value through the presence of another CEO and are by the broad remit of the Board of Directors. To ensure an appropriate balance of powers and an effective control system, the Board has established a structure with two CEOs, Abramo and Raffaele Galante, with joint signature required for contracts and transactions exceeding Euro 5 million. This arrangement mitigates the centralization of functions, limits the operational scope of the Chairman, and requires joint decisions for significant transactions.
The Board has strengthened the role of independent directors by establishing internal committees composed exclusively of independent members and appointing a Lead Independent Director to act as a point of reference and coordinator for nonexecutive Directors. The Chairman's activities are also subject to continuous monitoring by the Board as a whole and the Board of Statutory Auditors, ensuring transparency, limitation of individual powers, and the proper functioning of the governance system.
Compliance with Principles V and X of the Code, which relate, respectively, to transparency in the allocation of responsibilities between executive and non-executive directors and to the effective functioning of Board proceedings and the coordinating role of the Chairman, is further supported by the presence of the three other executive Directors with complementary skills and over twenty years of experience in Board matters, who contribute to the quality and balance of decision-making processes.
The Board of Directors of Digital Bros S.p.A. recognizes the overall adherence of the Group to the Corporate Governance Code and the suggestions in the Letter. The Board also reaffirms its commitment to monitor Digital Bros' compliance with the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Committee.
The following tables provide a summary of the composition of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors and the methods of adoption of the main recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.
