"Proposal to introduce the possibility of holding Shareholders' Meetings by means of exclusive participation through the so-called "appointed representative" and amendment on the reporting rules by the delegated bodies to the Board of Directors. Amendments to Articles 7, 8, 9 and 15 of the Articles of Association; related and inherent resolutions."
Dear Shareholders,
With reference to the fifth item on the agenda of the extraordinary part of the Shareholders' Meeting, we submit for your approval the proposal to introduce the possibility of holding the Shareholders' Meetings by means of exclusive participation through the so-called designated representative by virtue of the provision set forth in Article 11 of Law No. 21 of 5 March 2024 (the "DDL Capitali") and the new Article 135-undecies.1 of the TUF.
The opportunity is also taken to make a simplification to the articles of association concerning the reporting of the delegated bodies to the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors by referring to the provisions of the law.
Article 11 of the DDL Capitali introduced the new Article 135-undecies.1 of the TUF, which allows, where provided for in the articles of association, shareholders' meetings of listed companies to be held exclusively through the representative designated by the company (the 'Designated Representative'). This provision thus makes permanent the possibility of holding ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings in the same manner that was used in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board of Directors believes that the use of the Designated Representative allows for a more orderly and efficient management of shareholders' meetings, while guaranteeing the right of all shareholders to express their vote and to exercise the additional participatory rights recognised by law.
Considering the experience of the Company's management of shareholders' meetings in recent years, the Board of Directors agrees with the legislator's assessment, contained in the report on the DDL Capitali, that the shareholders' meeting has progressively lost its informative, debate and discussion function, which is essential to the definition of the voting decision to be made. Rather, as is evident from the Company's preparation of an engagement policy, the existence of a Group investor relations function available to shareholders, and the quarterly organisation of discussion events by management with the financial community as part of the presentation of periodic reports, shareholders have access to pre-meeting information on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

In addition to the foregoing, it should be noted that the new Article 135-undecies.1 provides that, in the event that companies adopt the use of the Designated Representative exclusively for participation and voting in shareholders' meetings:
The proposal set forth in this agenda, however, provides that the Board of Directors shall have the right to decide that attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting shall take place in the other forms provided for by law.
In light of the Company's experience and the changes introduced by the DDL Capitali, it is therefore proposed to amend the Articles of Association in the terms set out below.
Lastly, in view of the fact that the Civil Code and the TUF regulate the reporting timing by the delegated bodies, it is proposed to simplify Article 15 of the Articles of Association.
In connection with the foregoing, the current text of Articles 7, 8, 9 and 15 of the Articles of Association, together with the comparison column relating to the proposed amendments (amendments are shown in bold), are set forth below.
