Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors of doValue S.p.A. on the proposals referred to in item 5 of the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting called, in ordinary session and in single call, on April 28, 2026:
5. Appointment of a Director for integration of the Board
Dear Shareholders,
The Board of Directors of doValue S.p.A. (the "Company" or "dovalue") has convened you to the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, to be held at Lungotevere Flaminio 18, Rome (RM), on April 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., in a single call (the "Meeting"), to discuss and resolve, among other matters, the following agenda item:
"Appointment of a Director for integration of the Board"
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 26, 2024, appointed the members of the Board of Directors for the 2024-2026 term – setting their number at 11 – with their mandate expiring at the Shareholders' Meeting to be convened for the approval of the financial statements for the year ending 2026.
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on September 11, 2024, subsequently increased the number of directors from 11 to 13, appointing two additional board members.
On October 2, 2025, Director Constantine Michael (Dean) Dakolias resigned from his office as Director due to new professional commitments.
It should also be noted that, pursuant to Article 13, paragraph 18, of the Company's Bylaws, in the event of the resignation of one or more directors, the Board of Directors may proceed with their replacement, selecting, where possible, from among the candidates originally presented on the same list as the resigning director, provided they have confirmed their candidacy; this option, however, is not feasible, as all candidates on the list from which the resigning director was elected have already been elected.
During its meeting of January 29, 2026, the Board of Directors therefore resolved to co-opt, pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, Lawyer Francesco Maria Pansa, born on May 19, 1976 in Salerno, Italian citizen, tax identification number PNSFNC76E19H703K, as non-executive Director of the Company. Mr. Pansa waived the remuneration associated with the role.
The selection of the aforementioned Director – based on the favourable opinion issued by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee on 27 January 2026 – was made in line with the criteria set out in the document "Guidance on the optimal qualitative and quantitative composition of the new Board of Directors", approved on February 22, 2024 (also referred to as the “Quali-Quantitative Profile”), which remains fully confirmed. The choice also complies with the provisions of Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies.
At the time of co-optation, the Board of Directors assessed the professional and integrity requirements declared by the co-opted Director and their alignment with the Quali-Quantitative

doValue
Profile. These requirements were also considered suitable for ensuring the overall adequacy of the Board, allowing for optimal integration with existing profiles and ensuring continuity of internal debate and the efficient functioning of the Board.
The candidate also declared not to meet the independence requirements pursuant to Article 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF), Article 13 of the Company's By-laws, and Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.
Following the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors carried out, at its meeting of January 29, 2026, the formal assessment of Director Francesco Maria Pansa's professional, integrity and independence requirements and their correspondence to the Quali-Quantitative Profile at both the individual level and the level of overall Board adequacy.
Pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, a director appointed by the Board to replace one who has left office during the term remains in office "until the next shareholders' meeting". Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting the proposal to appoint a director to supplement the Board.
In this regard, the Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 18, 2026, and with the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee expressed on March 16, 2026, resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting the confirmation of the previously co-opted Director, Lawyer Francesco Maria Pansa, who has expressed his willingness to stand for appointment.
The Board believes that the candidacy of Francesco Maria Pansa is consistent with the Quali-Quantitative Profile, having evaluated his alignment both individually and with respect to the overall adequacy of the Board. His appointment would also preserve the balance in the Board's composition as determined by the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 26, 2024.
The document "Guidance on the optimal qualitative and quantitative composition of the new Board of Directors" – the contents of which the Board has confirmed – has been made available to Shareholders on the Company's website. Shareholders wishing to submit alternative candidates may do so at the Company's registered office with adequate notice: within ten days from the publication of the notice of call, by sending documentation to the certified e-mail address [email protected], together with the documents required (available on the website www.dovalue.it, section Governance – Shareholders' Meeting), taking into account the professional requirements for the role.
Proposed resolutions
Dear Shareholders,
In consideration of the foregoing, and taking into account the provisions of the By-laws regarding the composition and appointment of the Board of Directors, as well as the indications contained in the Quali-Quantitative Profile, should you agree with the above, we submit the following draft resolution for your approval:
