EXTRAORDINARY PART

1. Amendment of Article 14 of the bylaws (Participation in the assembly): provision for participation in the assembly exclusively through the representative designated for this purpose.

CONDUCT OF THE ASSEMBLY

Participation in the Shareholders' Meeting by those entitled to vote will be allowed exclusively through the representative designated by the Company as provided by law.

For this purpose, the Company has appointed Computershare S.p.A. - with offices in Turin, Via Nizza 262/73, 10126 - to represent shareholders in accordance with Article 135-undecies of Legislative Decree 58/1998 ("TUF" and the "Designated Representative").

Therefore, the physical participation of individual shareholders and their delegates other than the Designated Representative is precluded.

Shareholders who wish to participate in the meeting must therefore confer the authorization to the Designated Representative as specified in the following paragraph.

Notwithstanding the above, authorized parties (members of the Corporate Bodies, the appointed Secretary, and the Designated Representative) may also (or exclusively) participate via telecommunication means that ensure their identification, without requiring the President, Secretary, and Notary to be in the same location. The Company will promptly communicate any further relevant instructions and prescriptions regarding the organization of the Shareholders' Meeting.

AUTHORIZATION FOR ATTENDANCE AT THE MEETING AND EXERCISE OF VOTING RIGHTS

The authorization to attend the meeting and exercise the voting rights is confirmed by a communication to the Company made by the authorized intermediary, in accordance with their own accounting records, in favor of the party entitled to the voting right.

This communication is based on the evidence related to the end of the seventh open market trading day preceding the date set for this meeting in the first call, which is April 18, 2024 (the so-called record date).

Those who become shareholders only after the record date are not authorized to attend and vote at the meeting.

The intermediary's communication must reach the Company by the end of the third open market trading day preceding the date set for the Meeting, i.e., by April 24, 2024. However, authorization to attend and vote remains valid if the communications are received by the Company after the specified deadline, provided it is before the start of the meeting proceedings.

DELEGATION OF PROXY AND VOTING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE

Those entitled to participate in the meeting must grant the Designated Representative the proxy in accordance with Article 135-undecies of the TUF, along with voting instructions on all or some of the proposed resolutions regarding the items on the agenda using the specific proxy form, which may be electronic, provided by the Designated Representative in agreement with the Company. The form is available on the Company's website at www.elengroup.com Investor Relations/governance/Shareholders' Meeting Documents/2024/ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING April 29, 2024 – May 6, 2024. The proxy to the Designated Representative is not effective with respect to proposals for which voting instructions have not been granted.

The proxy form, with voting instructions, must be submitted following the instructions on the form itself by the end of the second open market trading day preceding the date set for the Meeting, therefore by April 25, 2024 for the first call and by May 2, 2024 in case of the second call.

Using the same methods and within the same deadlines, the proxy and voting instructions granted can be revoked.

The communication from the authorized intermediary, confirming the entitlement to participate in the Meeting and exercise the right to vote, is necessary even in the case of granting proxy to the Designated Representative; in its absence, the proxy will be ineffective.

Furthermore, those who do not wish to use the aforementioned methods of participation can grant proxies and/or sub-proxies in accordance with Article 135-novies of (Italian) Legislative Decree no. 58/98. For this purpose, the proxy form available on the Company's website can be used.

The proxy and/or sub-proxy to the Designated Representative include voting instructions on all or some of the proposals concerning the items on the agenda, with the understanding that the Designated Representative will not cast any vote at the Meeting in relation to those proposals for

which precise voting instructions have not been received. In case of delegation of sub-proxy to the Designated Representative, the delegator must send to the Designated Representative, following the instructions on the form, a copy of the delegation received and a declaration attesting to the conformity of the copy with the original and the identity of the delegator. In order to allow the Company and the Designated Representative to receive and verify proxies and/or sub-proxies in advance of the start of the Shareholders' Meeting, it is recommended that authorized individuals send their proxies and/or sub-proxies by 12:00 pm on the day before the actual date of the Meeting. Delegations and voting instructions can be revoked within the same timeframe and using the same methods as those for their submission. Voting procedures via electronic means are not provided for. The Designated Representative will be available for clarification or information at the following telephone number: 011-0923200, or at the e-mail address [email protected]. VOTE BY CORRESPONDENCE

For the items on the agenda of the ordinary part, in accordance with article 17 of the by-laws, the vote may also be exercised by correspondence in accordance with the current provisions. The ballot paper is available to those entitled to participate in the assembly at the Company's registered office and on the website www.elengroup.com - Investor Relations/governance/Shareholders' Meeting Documents /2024/ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING April 29, 2024 - May 6, 2024, and if for technical reasons it cannot be downloaded electronically, it will be sent in paper form to anyone legitimately entitled to participate in the meeting, upon request to the Company (tel. 0558826807; fax 0558832884).

The sealed envelope, containing the completed, dated, and signed ballot paper, accompanied by documentation proving the identity and, if necessary, the legitimacy of the voter, must be sent to El.En. S.p.A., Via Baldanzese n. 17, 50041 Calenzano (FI) - attention of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors - by no later than 7:00 pm on April 28, 2024. Votes expressed on ballots received after this deadline or for which the communication of legitimacy of the voter has not been received from the depositary intermediary will not be considered.

The vote by correspondence is exercised directly by the owner and is expressed separately for each proposal for resolution.

AGENDA INTEGRATION

In accordance with article 126-bis of (Italian) Legislative Decree no. 58 of 1998, shareholders representing, individually or jointly, at least one fortieth of the share capital, may request, by March 30, 2024 (ten days from the publication of this notice), the integration of the list of items to be discussed and submit proposals for resolutions on items already on the agenda, indicating in the request the additional topics proposed and/or the proposed resolutions.

It is noted, however, that such integration is not allowed for the items on which the Meeting deliberates, as required by law, on the proposal of the Board of Directors or based on a project or report prepared by them, other than those indicated in article 125-ter, paragraph 1, TUF.

The request for integration must be submitted in writing by registered mail addressed to the Company's registered office or by email to the address [email protected] and must be accompanied by a report on the reasons for the proposals for resolutions on the new items they propose to discuss and/or relating to additional proposals for resolutions submitted on matters already on the agenda.

The certification attesting the ownership of the shares and of the shareholding necessary to exercise the right to vote under article 126-bis, paragraph 1, first period, TUF by the requesting shareholders must result from a specific communication effective as of the date of the request, addressed by the depositary intermediary to [email protected].

PROPOSALS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 126-bis, PENULTIMATE PARAGRAPH, TUF.

Furthermore, given the meeting's procedures, and considering that participation is exclusively through the Designated Representative, legitimate shareholders who individually wish to submit proposals for resolutions and voting on the items on the agenda must submit them in writing by

registered mail addressed to the Company's registered office or by email to the address [email protected] by April 14, 2024.

The legitimacy to submit proposals must be attested by the communication provided for in article 83-sexies of the TUF made by the intermediary for the purpose of participation in the Shareholders' Meeting and the exercise of the right to vote. Such proposals, if relevant, will be promptly published on the Company's website, in order to enable eligible voters to make informed decisions, taking into account these new proposals, and to allow the Designated Representative to collect any voting instructions on them as well.

RIGHT TO SUBMIT QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

Pursuant to article 127-ter of the TUF, those entitled to vote may ask questions on the items on the agenda even before the assembly by sending them by registered mail to the Company's registered office or by certified email to the address [email protected].

Those who demonstrate ownership of shares as of April 18, 2024 (record date) have the right to receive a response. For this purpose, a specific communication of share ownership in favor of the requester must be sent by the depositary intermediary to the address [email protected], effective until the aforementioned date. If the entitled party has requested the communication from their depositary intermediary to participate in the meeting, it will suffice to cite the references of such communication in the document containing the questions. Questions, which, due to the assembly's procedures, must be received by April 18, 2024, relevant to the agenda and submitted by those entitled, will be answered by April 26, 2024. The Company may provide a unified response to questions with the same content.

APPOINTMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The appointment of the Board of Directors is based on lists of candidates submitted by the shareholders and is regulated not only by legal and regulatory provisions but also by article 19 of the by-laws, which is hereby fully referenced and whose text is available on the website www.elengroup.com in the Investor Relations/governance/by-laws section and is available upon request at the Company's registered office.

Each list must include, in progressive order, the names of the candidates for the position of director and an indication of which candidates possess the independence requirements pursuant to article 147-ter, paragraph 4, TUF, and article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code disseminated by the Corporate Governance Committee of listed companies promoted by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. Along with the list, shareholders must deposit: the professional profile and curriculum vitae of each candidate, from which any positions as a member of administrative or supervisory bodies held in other companies can also be inferred; as well as a declaration in which each candidate accepts their candidacy and attests, under their own responsibility, the absence of causes of ineligibility and incompatibility as well as the existence of the requirements prescribed by applicable law and bylaws for their respective positions.

The formation of the lists must comply with the regulatory and statutory provisions regarding gender balance as per article 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, TUF, and those concerning the presence of an adequate number of directors meeting the independence requirements pursuant to article 147-ter, paragraph 4, TUF, and the cited Corporate Governance Code.

In relation to gender balance, each list containing a number of candidates equal to or greater than three must therefore be composed in such a way that the underrepresented gender obtains a share of at least two-fifths of the elected directors. If applying the gender distribution criterion does not result in a whole number of board members belonging to the underrepresented gender, this number is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Additionally, in determining the number of members of the Board of Directors and in presenting the lists, shareholders, while retaining the right to express, with justification, different evaluations on the matter, are required to take into account the "Guidelines for Shareholders on the Qualitative-Quantitative Composition of the Board of Directors" published on March 1, 2024, on the company's website www.elengroup.com in the Investor Relations/governance/Shareholders' Meeting

documents/2024/SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING 2024 section, and included in the Board of Directors' Report prepared in accordance with article 125-ter of the TUF, to which reference is made. This report is made available to the public today at the company's headquarters, on the Company's website at www.elengroup.com, and on the authorized storage mechanism .

For compliance with the provisions of the aforementioned Corporate Governance Code, specifically Article 4 (Recommendation No. 23), those presenting a list containing more than half of the members to be elected are required to provide, in the documentation for the deposit of the list itself, adequate information regarding its alignment with the guidelines, including criteria of diversity, and to indicate the candidate for the position of Chairman of the Board, whose appointment is made according to the procedures identified in the by-laws.

The lists must be deposited along with the documentation required by applicable law, regulations, and the current by-laws at the Company's registered office at least twenty-five days before the date set for the assembly on first call, hence by April 4, 2024.

The lists duly submitted will be made available to the public at least twenty-one days before the assembly, hence by April 8, 2024.

Furthermore, in accordance with Article 144-quater of CONSOB's Issuers' Regulation 11971/1999, it is also reminded that the minimum shareholding necessary for the submission of lists of candidates for the board of directors is 2.5%, in accordance with Article 19 of the by-laws, Article 144-quater of CONSOB's Issuers' Regulation 11971, and CONSOB Managerial Determination of January 31, 2024, No. 92.

The ownership of the minimum shareholding required to submit lists is determined by considering the shares registered in favor of the shareholder on the day the lists are submitted to the Company. The possession or joint ownership of the number of shares required to submit the list must be proven by the submission of a specific communication by the depositary intermediary to the certified email address [email protected] no later than April 8, 2024.

Each shareholder may submit or participate in submitting only one list, and each candidate may appear on only one list, under penalty of ineligibility. Shareholders adhering to the same syndicate agreement may submit only one list.

Furthermore, those intending to submit a list of candidates for the position of minority board members must, in accordance with the recommendation of Consob Communication No. DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009, deposit along with the list a declaration attesting to the absence of any connections, including indirect ones, as referred to in article 147-ter, paragraph 3, TUF, and article 144-quinquies of CONSOB Issuers' Regulation 11971, with shareholders holding, individually or jointly, a controlling or relative majority interest, identifiable based on the communications of relevant holdings under article 120 of the TUF or the publication of shareholder agreements pursuant to article 122 of the same TUF.

Pursuant to and for the purposes of article 147-ter, paragraph 3, TUF, it is clarified that the first candidate on the minority list will be elected to replace the last candidate on the majority list who received the most votes. Given the need to comply with the gender and independence requirements, if the first candidate on the minority list does not meet the requirements of the last candidate on the majority list, the next candidate on the minority list who meets these requirements will be elected.

Lists that do not comply with all the provisions of the current legal and regulatory provisions, those under article 19 of the by-laws, and the provisions of the cited Corporate Governance Code, will be considered as not submitted.

The deposit of lists can also be made through electronic communication to the certified email address [email protected] provided it is digitally signed and accompanied by the information allowing the identification of the party depositing or transmitting the lists.

INTEGRATION OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS: APPOINTMENT OF A MINORITY SUBSTITUTE AUDITOR

In accordance with article 25 of the by-laws - the text of which is available on the website www.elengroup.com in the Investor Relations/governance/by-laws and regulations section and is available upon request at the Company's registered office - the appointment of the statutory auditor necessary for the integration of the board of statutory auditors will be made by relative majority without a list vote based on proposals submitted by the shareholders.

Proposals regarding the integration of the board of statutory auditors must contain the name of only one female candidate for a substitute auditor and must be deposited at the company's headquarters by April 14, 2024.

Each shareholder may submit or participate in submitting only one proposal.

The legitimacy to submit proposals must be certified by the communication provided for in article 83-sexies of the TUF made by the intermediary for the purpose of participation in the Meeting and the exercise of the right to vote. Proposals duly submitted will be published by April 15, 2024, on the Company's website, in order to enable eligible voters to make informed decisions, taking into account these new proposals, and to allow the Designated Representative to collect any voting instructions on them as well.

Furthermore, the proposals submitted must contain comprehensive information about the personal and professional characteristics of the candidate, as well as a declaration from the candidate attesting to the possession of the requirements prescribed by law and her acceptance of the candidacy.

The deposit of proposals can also be made through electronic communication to the certified email address [email protected] provided it is digitally signed and accompanied by the information allowing the identification of the party depositing or transmitting the proposals.

Proposals that do not comply with all the provisions of the current legal and regulatory provisions, and those under article 25 of the articles of association, will be considered as not submitted.

Ownership of the minimum share needed to present lists is decided considering shares registered to shareholders on the day on which the lists are deposited with the company. However, the relative certification must be produced at least twenty one days before the date set for the ordinary shareholders' meeting in first call.

Directors are appointed by the shareholders' meeting based on the lists presented by shareholders in which candidates are listed progressively.

Each shareholder with right of vote may vote just one list.

Directors are extracted from the list obtaining the highest number of votes; in any case a percentage of votes that is at least equal to half what is needed to present them.

At least one board member must always be taken from the minority shareholders' list obtaining the highest number of votes.

In a list votes draw, the entire shareholders' meeting will vote again and the list obtaining the simple majority will be elected.

If no list should be presented by terms indicated, the shareholders' meeting resolves with the relative majority of shareholders present at the meeting.

If just one list is presented, all directors will be elected from that list.

If no minority shareholders' list should receive votes, the board will be integrated by a majority resolution of shareholders present at the meeting.

Candidates elected must include, pursuant to law, an adequate number of directors holding the independence requirements established for statutory auditors by art. 148, paragraph 3, of Italian Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998, no. 58 and the Code of Corporate Governance prepared by the Corporate Governance Committee of listed companies promoted by Borsa Italiana s.p.a.. The director who should lose those independence requirements after appointment must notify the board of directors immediately and, in any case, forfeits office.

In any case, the composition of the body elected must be able to guarantee representation of a gender balance pursuant to art. 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, of Italian Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998, no. 58.

The members of the Board of Directors remain in office for 3 (three) financial years or for the shorter period decided each time by the Shareholders' meeting, in compliance with art. 2383, paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code and may be re-elected. If one or more directors should resign of fall from

office during the financial year, the others shall replace that person in compliance with art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.

When one or more directors fall from office for any reason whatsoever, new members shall be appointed in compliance with gender balance regulations in force.

The members of the company's Board of Directors may be elected as members of the Board of Directors, or Sole Director, of subsidiaries with no need for shareholders' meeting authorisation pursuant to art. 2390 of the Italian Civil Code."

When determining the number of members of the Board of Directors and submitting the lists, the shareholders, without prejudice to their right to express different assessments on the matter, giving their reasons, are required to take into account the shareholders' orientation on the qualitativequantitative composition of the board of directors referred to above.

Furthermore, anyone submitting a list containing a number of candidates exceeding half of the members to be elected shall be required to provide adequate information, in the documentation submitted for the filing of the list, as to whether the list corresponds to the orientation expressed by the board of directors, also with reference to the diversity criteria set forth therein, and to indicate their candidate for the office of chairperson of the board of directors.

Individuals wishing to apply as independents must declare that they meet the necessary requirements (Art. 148, paragraph 3, Consolidated Law on Finance and by Art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code) and the absence of any circumstance that might compromise independence - it being understood that the concrete assessment will be up to the Board, based on the criterion of substance over form – and to undertake, during the term of office, to immediately declare the lack thereof.

For the purposes of assessing the significance of commercial, financial, professional and additional remuneration relationships provided for in the Code (Recommendation 7, letters c) and d)), the Board has determined that they are capable of compromising independence when:

a) with regard to Recommendation 7 letter c) of the Corporate Governance Code, a commercial, financial or professional relationship is significant if it is recurring during the term of office and to the extent that it is a transaction subject to the provisions of the El.En. s.p.a. Regulation for related party transactions;

b) with regard to Recommendation 7 letter d) of the Corporate Governance Code, additional remuneration over and above the fixed remuneration for the office and the remuneration for participation in the committees recommended by the Code or provided for by the regulations in force is significant if it exceeds 30% of the total remuneration received for the office.

Pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 147-ter, paragraph 3, Consolidated Law on Finance, it is specified that the first candidate of the minority list will be elected in place of the last candidate expressed in the list that obtained the majority of votes. Given the need to comply with the gender and independence requirements provided for, if the first candidate of the minority list does not meet the requirements of the last candidate of the majority list, the first subsequent candidate of the minority list meeting such requirements shall be elected.

We therefore submit the following for your approval

The Shareholders' Meeting is also called upon pursuant to Art. 21 of the Articles of Association and Art. 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code to decide the overall amount of compensation for all directors, including those with specific appointments.

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 27 April 2021, which had elected a seven-member board of directors, had resolved that the maximum gross annual indemnity to be paid in total to the members of the board of directors was EUR 1,578,000.00, to be allocated as follows:

  • setting at a total of Euro 19,500.00 a gross annual allowance pursuant to Art. 17 of the Income Tax Consolidation Act to be divided between the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the executive directors.

The outgoing board of directors, by virtue of what was explained in the remuneration report prepared pursuant to Art. 123-ter Consolidated Law on Finance and what was approved in the meeting of 14 March, on the proposal of the remuneration committee, proposes the following to the shareholders' meeting:

  • a) to raise the base remuneration due to all members, including, therefore, non-executive and independent directors, by Euro 1,000.00 per year for each director, which would thus rise from Euro 17,000.00 per year to Euro 18,000.00 per year, confirming the board's availability of an additional Euro 9,000.00 to be used for the remuneration of the non-executive directors appointed as chairmen of the infra-board committees;
  • b) to increase by Euro 50,000.00 gross per year the annual sum to be allocated to the Chairman, executive directors and directors holding special offices, also through the allocation of nonmonetary benefits;
  • c) to set at Euro 800,000.00 gross per year the amount available to the board for the allocation of the variable part of the remuneration to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if delegated, to the executive directors and to the directors holding special offices depending on the achievement of objectives set by the Board of Directors;
  • d) to confirm in a total of Euro 19,500.00 the gross annual allowance pursuant to Art. 17 of the Income Tax Consolidation Act to be divided between the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if delegated, the executive directors and those holding special offices.

For any other information that may be useful to the shareholders for the purposes of their assessments regarding the determination of the board's remuneration, please refer to the aforementioned remuneration report that will be made available within the terms set forth in the aforementioned provisions.
