REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE FOR THE 2023 FINANCIAL YEAR Approved by the ENAV S.p.A. Board of Directors on 8 April 2024 Drafted in accordance with Article 123-bis of the TUF

www.enav.it

ENAV S.p.A. ("ENAV" or the "Company") manages civil air traffic in Italy, ensuring its uninterrupted operation according to the highest safety and efficiency standards. Thanks to its staff and excellent technological equipment and infrastructure, the Company provides air navigation services to its customers, airlines flying in Italian airspace, and it consistently holds a leading office in the five largest industry players in Europe in terms of operating performance and capacity for innovation.

Benchmark operator in the international air traffic management system, ENAV participates in research and development initiatives in coordination with national and international industry supervisory bodies and it is one of the major actors in the establishment of the Single European Sky, the programme to harmonise EU air traffic management, with the goal of enhancing the safety and efficiency of air transportation.

ENAV pursues an ethical and socially responsible business model, oriented to achieve the goals included in the Sustainable Development Goals (also through active participation in the United Nations Global Compact) and the sustainable success of the company, to generate value for the company and its stakeholders in the long term. Bearing in mind also the social relevance of the Company activity, this goal is what guides its corporate governance system. Through its Sustainability Plan, the Company has developed several initiatives in the social and environmental spheres, including: the reduction of its carbon footprint, making it the first Air Navigation Service Provider in the world to achieve Carbon Neutrality, the reduction of its customers' emissions, making air transport more efficient and sustainable, and the commitment to corporate giving, through social impact initiatives for its internal and external stakeholders. All of this has strengthened the commitment of the top management, which is also stimulated by special incentive mechanisms, as set out in further detail in the "Report on the remuneration policy and the remuneration paid" in the financial year ending 31 December 2023, referred to herein. The Company publishes an annual sustainability report (containing the Consolidated nonfinancial statement in accordance with Legislative Decree 254/2016), which both describes the topics identified by the materiality analysis and by the quantitative indicators required by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting standards, "in accordance with" option, as well as the future targets and projects aimed at implementing the strategy adopted by the Board of Directors in this regard. For more information on sustainability issues and the Company ongoing focus on the social and environmental impacts of its activities, please refer (in addition to this Report) to the ENAV Group "2023 Sustainability Report", which is available on the websitewww.enav.it and to the "Sustainable for you" section of the corporate portal (https://www.enav.it/sostenibili).

ENAV: PROFILE AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

A. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Under the Corporate Governance Code, ENAV is classed as a large, concentrated ownership company.

In view of the social importance of the Company operations, the main goal of ENAV corporate governance system is to perpetuate the company sustainable success, to create long-term value for its shareholders and appropriately balance and foster all the interests involved. The ENAV corporate governance structure is based on the traditional model pursuant to the Italian Civil Code, which, save for the powers reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting by law and the Articles of Association, gives the Board of Directors responsibility for the strategic and operational management of the Company, while the Board of Statutory Auditors is charged with performing supervisory functions.

Pursuant to Principle I of the Code, the role of the Board of Directors is to pursue the Company sustainable success, as well as to make decisions on developing strategies, monitoring their implementation and overseeing risks, and to establish the most functional corporate governance system for the company business and strategies, taking into account also the room for autonomy of the system. The way in which the Board of Directors pursues the Company sustainable success within its strategies is detailed in Section 3.9, in Section 5 on the Internal Control and Risk Management System and in Section 6 on remuneration policies. In these areas, the Board of Directors is supported, inter alia, by the Sustainability Committee to analyse matters relevant to long-term value generation.

In accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has appointed a Chief Executive Officer, who has been granted all powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, while reserving decisions on certain matters to itself. The Chief Executive Officer is thus the person primarily responsible for the management of the Company, without prejudice to the powers and responsibilities reserved to the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors also granted the Chair the authority to coordinate internal auditing activities and, together with the Chief Executive Officer, responsibility for managing national and international institutional relations and the Company external communication activities and relations with national and foreign media.

The model adopted by the Company separates the functions of the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, while both are responsible for representing the Company.

In accordance with the Articles of Association and the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has set up three internal committees with advisory and proposal-making functions visà-vis the Board itself: the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and the Sustainability Committee, which report to the Board through their respective Chairs at every board meeting. Further information on the composition and role of these committees is provided in section 4.

The Board of Directors, acting on a proposal of the Chief Executive Officer and taking note of the favourable opinion issued by the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, also appointed the Head of Administration and Financial Statements as the Financial Reporting Officer for the 2023-2025 three-year period. Further information on the appointment procedures, requirements of professionalism and powers of the Financial Reporting Officer can be found in section 5.5.

The independent statutory audit for the 2016-2024 period is entrusted to EY S.p.A., which is listed on the register of audit firms; the firm was appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2016 acting on a proposal by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Main elements of the Internal Control and Risk Management System

Enterprise Risk Management in the ENAV Group

The ENAV Group has an Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") System to monitor and manage risks in terms of both threats and opportunities, adopting a risk classification model with 4 key areas (Strategic, Financial, Operations and Compliance) and 22 "sub-areas" of a financial and nonfinancial nature. Periodic risk assessments are carried out to assess risk exposure in both qualitative and quantitative terms, adjusting the relevant treatments to the specific risk appetite thresholds.

The Enterprise Risk Management operates in accordance with the Guidelines of the internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMS) and to support the Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee. The various organisational, operational and internal standard safeguards are accompanied by a constant commitment to spreading the culture of risk and risk-based management at the various corporate levels. In 2023, the following activities were carried out, among others:

risk monitoring for H2 2022;

  • risk assessment activities and resulting updates to the ENAV Group Corporate Risk Profile;
  • updating of the ENAV Group "Commercial Risk Policy";
  • analysis of risks deriving from the change in ENAV macro-structure on 10 July 2023, with associated reporting to the Risk and Related Parties Committee;
  • updating the ERM Risk Treatment Plan and Key Risk Indicators for subsequent risk monitoring activities;
  • risk monitoring for H1 2023 and the Corporate Risk Profile.

In the first few months of 2024 and at the date of the Report, the risk analysis of the new 2024- 2027 Strategic Business Plan was also carried out.

With a view to facilitating the involvement of this category of shareholders in the decision-making processes of the Shareholders' Meeting, the ENAV Articles of Association establish that, in order

6 Shareholder identification conducted in October 2023. The table was prepared in accordance with the notifications provided for by the applicable legislation and the information available to the Company.

to facilitate the collection of proxies from shareholders who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and belong to shareholder associations that meet the requirements laid down by the applicable legislation, the facilities to be used for communication and the collection of proxies shall be made available to these associations in accordance with the terms and procedures agreed with their legal representatives.

In this financial year, ENAV Investor Relations unit maintained an ongoing and constructive dialogue with the LAGE (Lavoratori Azionisti Gruppo ENAV ) association, mainly in the form of periodic meetings, updating it on Company activities.

As of the date of this Report, the above-mentioned association of shareholder employees does not meet the requirements established by Art. 141 of the TUF and, accordingly the provisions of Article 8.1 of the Articles of Association described above, they do not apply to it.

1.6. Restrictions on the transfer of securities, special powers of the State and restrictions on voting rights

The ENAV Articles of Association do not establish any restrictions of the transfer of the Company shares, although they are subject to the application of specific statutory provisions. The Company is subject to the provisions of Decree-Law 21 of 15 March 2012, converted with amendments into Law 56 of 11 May 2012 ("Decree-Law 21/2012"), concerning the special powers of the Italian State (the "golden powers") regarding strategic assets in the (i) energy, transportation and communications sectors and in the (ii) defence and national security sector, with the further amendments introduced by Article 4-bis of Decree Law 105 of 21 September 2019, ratified with amendments by Law 133 of 18 November 2019 containing "Urgent measures for national cybersecurity and rules governing special powers in strategic sectors". In particular, the adoption of specific corporate resolutions by the Company or the purchase of specific significant equity interests in the share capital of ENAV could be limited by these special powers.

Further amendments, in a more restrictive sense, were made to the text of Decree-Law 21 of 15 March 2012, as a result of the changes introduced to the text of Article 4-bis of Decree-Law 105/2019 by Decree-Law 21 of 21 March 2022 ("Decree-Law 21/2022"), converted with amendments by Law 51 of 20 May 2022.

These regulations gives the State the power to (a) veto resolutions, acts and transactions that – in giving rise to a change in the ownership, control or availability of the assets themselves or a change in their use – create an exceptional situation, not governed by national or European legislation, that seriously jeopardises the public interest concerning the security and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply; b) qualify the effectiveness of an acquisition of any type by a non-European Union entity of interests of such significance as to result in the permanent establishment of the purchaser as a result of the acquisition of control of the company, pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of the TUF, if this purchase seriously jeopardise the public interest concerning the security and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply, requiring that entity to make commitments ensuring the protection of such interests; and c) oppose the acquisition referred to under letter b) above if it should pose an exceptional risk to the protection of the public interest and the operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply that cannot be eliminated by commitments of the acquiring entity to ensure the protection of such interests. Other limitations on governance and transactions may be imposed on firms "within the scope of national cybernetic security". In this context, the 2022 amendment related to three key aspects:

  • a) the inclusion of assets and relations of strategic importance in the energy, transport and communications sectors as a result of any concessionary acts (in whatever form or by whatever name);
  • b) the acts included in the scope of the power of veto were broadened;
  • c) provision has been made for a joint notification by the potential purchaser and the company holding the strategic assets (whose shareholdings are to be acquired) in order to streamline the joint consultation process.

Moreover, Decree-Law 21/2022 has made permanent the provision (originally temporary when introduced as an emergency measure during the pandemic) in the communications, energy, transport, health, agrifood and financial sectors (including credit and insurance ones), which

requires the notification of any purchase of significant shareholdings held by European Union entities, including those residing in Italy, that might affect the determination of the purchaser's place of permanent establishment as a result of any assumption of control of the company whose shareholdings are being purchased. These rules will take effect on 1 January 2023 and address the European Commission's communication of 6 April 2022, whereby it asked Member States to expand their forms of control of foreign entities interested in having directing and controlling investments with a bearing on national and EU security and defence interests. ENAV holds certain assets that are strategic assets in the sector of defence and national security and, therefore, it is subject to Article 1 of Decree-Law 21/2012 and the associated implementing provisions.

In this context, the amendments introduced by Decree-Law 21/2022 (Article 24) specified the scope of the power of veto when accepting resolutions, acts or transactions of the shareholders' meeting or governing bodies of a firm that carries out activities of strategic importance for national defence and security. In particular, the general scope of the power of veto has been more clearly specified, whereby the veto may be exercised on all resolutions, proceedings or transactions that have the effect of changing the ownership, control or availability of the assets themselves, including (as mentioned in the previous text) the merger or demerger of the company, the transfer of the company or its branches or subsidiaries, the transfer of the registered office abroad, an amendment to the corporate purpose, the dissolution of the company, the amendment of any clauses of the Articles of Association relating to the maximum limit of share ownership, the assignment of property rights or rights of use over tangible or intangible assets, or the imposition of restrictions that affect their use, including where the company is subject to insolvency proceedings. With regard to the property rights or rights of use over tangible or intangible assets, it has also been specified that proceedings and transactions subject to the power of veto also include those relating to the assignment of said rights by way of a guarantee. Such amendments align the provisions applicable to the national defence and security system with those applicable to the energy, transport and communications sectors.

Further amendments relate to the exemption from the notification requirement for a transaction that is being assessed or that has already been assessed in connection with the exercise of powers over the acquisition of interests in a firm performing activities of strategic importance for national defence and security (opposition to the acquisition or imposition of specific conditions).

Moreover, it has been clarified that the acquisition shall be notified by the purchaser, and where possible jointly with the company whose shareholdings are being acquired, confirming the deadlines (within ten days) and the simultaneous submission of the necessary information, which is to include a general description of the proposed acquisition, the purchaser and its scope of operations, so as to assess any serious threat to key defence and national security interests as result of the acquisition of the shareholdings.

Cases where the notification is not made jointly by all parties to the proceedings have also been further detailed, so as to allow the company whose shareholdings are being acquired to participate in the proceedings and, where appropriate, to be subject to sanctions in the event of non-compliance with the conditions imposed.

The notification requirement shall also apply to the establishment of companies whose corporate purpose may include activities of strategic importance, or which hold assets of strategic importance for national defence and security.

This means that if there is an actual threat seriously prejudicing the essential interests of national defence and security, the State may: (i) impose specific conditions concerning the security of supplies, the security of information, the transfer of technology or the control of exports in the event of an acquisition, in any capacity, of interests in these companies; (ii) veto the adoption of resolutions by the shareholders' meeting or the boards of these companies that concern the merger or demerger of the company, the transfer of the company or units thereof or of subsidiaries, the transfer of the registered office abroad, the amendment of the corporate purpose, the dissolution of the company, the amendment of any clause of the Articles of Association adopted pursuant to Article 2351(3) of the Italian Civil Code or introduced pursuant to Article 3(1) of Decree-Law 332/1994, the assignment of property rights or rights of use over tangible or intangible assets or the imposition of restrictions that affect their use; and (iii) oppose the acquisition, in any capacity, of interests in such companies by an entity other than the Italian

State, Italian public entities or entities controlled by the latter, if the purchaser will hold, directly or indirectly, including through subsequent acquisitions, through a third party or entities that are otherwise connected, an interest in the voting capital of a size that could in this specific case compromise national defence and security interests.

Further restrictions on the transfer of securities derive from the implementation of the 2020- 2022 Performance Share Plan which ended in 2022, referred to in the Information Document drawn up in accordance with Article 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation and approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 May 2020 ("2020-2022 LTI Plan"), and the 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan, referred to in the Information Document drawn up in accordance with Article 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 ("2023-2025 LTI Plan"). Both Implementing Regulations subject the shares granted to the Chief Executive Officer and other beneficiaries to an overall vesting and retention period of five years in the amount of one-third of the shares granted (for the 2020-2022 LTI Plan which recently ended) and 50% (for the 2023–2025 LTI Plan) respectively. Both of the current long-term variable incentive share plans were approved under the previous Corporate Governance Code.

For more information on the lock-up mechanism of the Company long-term variable incentive system, please see the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid drafted in accordance with Article 123-ter of the TUF and Article 84-quater of the Issuers Regulation, published on the Company website www.enav.it and available through the other means established by the applicable legislation.

In accordance with the provisions of Art. 3 of Decree-Law 332 of 31 May 1994 (ratified with amendments with Law 474 of 30 July 1994), ENAV Articles of Association impose a limit on share ownership that produces the shareholding an equity interest of more than 5% of ENAV share capital. This provision does not apply to the interest held by the MEF, by public entities or by entities controlled by the latter.

The limitation does not prohibit holding shares in an amount higher than the specified threshold, but does therefore prohibit the exercise of the administrative rights attaching to the shares held in excess of the maximum limit of 5%.

Accordingly, if the maximum shareholding limit is exceeded by several entities/individuals, the voting rights that would accrue to each party subject to the limitation on the interest they hold will be reduced proportionally, save for prior joint instructions issued by the shareholders involved.

In the event of non-compliance, the resulting resolution can be challenged in accordance with the applicable law if the required majority would not have been reached without the votes in excess of the maximum limit indicated above. The shares in respect of which voting rights cannot be exercised are nevertheless calculated for the purposes of determining the legitimate formation of the Shareholders' Meeting.

Said 5% limit shall lapse if it is exceeded as a result of the public tender offer, provided that the offeror will hold, following the tender, an interest of at least 75% of the share capital with voting rights in connection with resolutions concerning the appointment or removal of the members of the Board of Directors.

1.7. Agreements between shareholders

As of the date of this Report there is no knowledge of the existence of shareholder agreements in accordance with Article 122 of the TUF.

1.8. Change-of-control clauses in significant agreements and provisions of the Articles of Association regarding Public Tender Offers

ENAV has been granted a number of bank loans that allow the counterparty to terminate the contract in advance in the event of a change of control involving the Company.

For more information on these agreements readers are invited to consult the 2023 annual Financial Report, note 39 "Managing financial risk" of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is published on the Company website.

Passivity rule and neutralisation rules

The Articles of Association do not provide for exceptions to the passivity rule pursuant to Article 104, paragraphs 1 and 1-bis of the TUF and do not provide for application of the neutralisation rules under Article 104-bis, paragraph 2 and 3, of the TUF.

1.9. Authorisation to increase the share capital and purchase of treasury shares

As of the date of this Report, the Board of Directors has not been authorised to increase the share capital in accordance with Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, nor can it issue other participating financial instruments.

As of 30 January 2023, the treasury shares purchase programme was launched, in execution of the resolution authorising the programme passed by the Shareholders' Meeting on 3 June 2022 and the subsequent resolution passed by the Company Board of Directors on 28 June 2022. The authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting shall last eighteen months from the day of the relevant resolution by the 2022 Shareholders' Meeting. The maximum number of treasury shares that may be purchased (in one or more tranches) is 1,300,000. The first purchase plan ended on 13 February 2023 and 500,000 treasury shares were purchased.

In June, 236,915 treasury shares were granted to the beneficiaries of the second 2020 - 2022 long-term incentive plan referring to the first 2020 - 2022 vesting cycle for a value of approximately €1 million.

At 31 December 2023, the Company held 633,604 treasury shares in its portfolio, equal to 0.12% of the share capital, for a total value of €2.7 million.

1.10. Management and coordination

ENAV is not subject to the management and coordination of the MEF pursuant to Article 2497 of the Italian Civil Code, as provided for in Article 19, paragraph 6, of Decree Law 78 of 1 July 2009 (ratified with Law 102 of 3 August 2009), which specified that the rules set out in the Italian Civil Code regarding the management and coordination of companies do not apply to the Italian State.

1.11. Indemnities payable to Directors in the event of resignation, dismissal or termination of office following a public tender

For more information on the indemnities payable to directors and on the effects of the termination of office, please see the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid drafted in accordance with Article 123-ter of the TUF and Article 84-quater of the Issuers Regulation, published on the Company website www.enav.it and available through the other means established by the applicable legislation.

1.12. Appointment and replacement of Directors and amendments of the Articles of Association

For information regarding the appointment and replacement of Directors, please see section 3.3 of this Report.

Amendments of the Articles of Association are adopted by the Company Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting with the majorities required by law.

Notwithstanding the above, Article 17 of the Articles of Association gives the Board of Directors the power to approve, among other things, amendments of the Articles of Association that are expressly required by law.

3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3.1. Role of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors plays a leading role in pursuing the sustainable success of ENAV and its Group; it is tasked with setting strategies and monitoring their implementation, as well as establishing the most functional corporate governance system to carry out the company business and pursue its strategies, taking into account the system's room for autonomy and, based on the policy on dialogue with all Company shareholders, it directs, supervises and monitors the implementation of the dialogue policy and checks its performance in line with the adequate flows of information.

The BoD Regulation provides that the Board of Directors shall update the above-mentioned guidelines relating to the significant transactions within its remit at least every three years.

3.2. Membership of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the central body of the corporate governance system and is vested with the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company. The Articles of Association establish that ENAV is managed by a Board of Directors composed of no fewer than five and no more than nine members and designates the Shareholders' Meeting as the body responsible for determining such number within that range.

The members of the Board of Directors shall remain in office for a period not exceeding three financial years, which expires on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last financial year of their term.

The Board of Directors in office as at the Report Date is made up of nine members, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2023. Specifically, said Shareholders' Meeting:

  • set the number of members on the Board of Directors at nine;
  • appointed the Board of Directors in the persons of Alessandra Bruni, Pasqualino Monti, Carla Alessi, Stefano Arcifa, Rozemaria Bala, Franca Brusco, Carlo Paris, Antonio Santi and Giorgio Toschi;
  • appointed Alessandra Bruni as Chair of the Board of Directors;
  • set the term of office at three financial years, until the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.

The following 3 slates of candidates were submitted for the election of the Board of Directors:

  • the slate submitted by the shareholder MEF, owner of a 53.28% stake in ENAV share capital, which was voted for by 60.71% of the voting capital at the shareholders' meeting. The candidates on that slate were: Alessandra Bruni (identified as Chair), Pasqualino Monti (identified as CEO), Franca Brusco, Stefano Arcifa, Carla Alessi and Giorgio Toschi;
  • the slate submitted by a group of asset management companies and other institutional investors, holding a total of 4.92% of ENAV share capital, which was voted for by 34.36% of the voting capital at the shareholders' meeting. The candidates on that slate were: Antonio Santi, Rozemaria Bala, Carlo Paris and Fiammetta Salmoni;
  • the slate submitted by the shareholders Inarcassa and Fondazione ENPAM, who together hold 3.88% of ENAV share capital, which was voted for by 4.9% of the voting capital at the shareholders' meeting. The candidates on that slate were: Fabrizio Allegra, Marina Scandurra and Valentina Montanari.

The shareholders submitting the last two of the above-mentioned slates have declared the absence of any relationship established in Article 144-quinquies with the shareholder who holds (or the shareholders who jointly hold) a controlling or relative majority interest.

Alessandra Bruni, Pasqualino Monti, Carla Alessi, Stefano Arcifa, Franca Brusco and Giorgio Toschi were elected from the slate submitted by the shareholder MEF, while Rozemaria Bala, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi were elected from the slate submitted by institutional investors.

At its meeting on 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors thus appointed Pasqualino Monti as Chief Executive Officer of ENAV.

On 20 February 2024, as part of its periodic checks on whether its members fulfil the requirements of the law and Articles of Association, the Board of Directors assessed the fulfilment of the independence requirements, in accordance with the Code and the policy relating to the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of ENAV Directors, as approved by way of the Board of Directors resolution passed on 18 February 2021.

Based on the assessments of the Directors' fulfilment of said requirements (carried out by the Board of Directors under the supervision of the Board of Statutory Auditors) as of the date of this Report, 8 out of 9 ENAV Directors have been found to be independent pursuant to both the TUF and the Code.

3.3. Appointment and replacement

Directors must meet the integrity and professionalism requirements established pursuant to the law and regulations, as well as to Article 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association.

Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates presented by the shareholders, in which the candidates must be listed using consecutive numbers. On penalty of inadmissibility, slates shall be drawn up and filed at the Company registered office and published in compliance with the applicable legislation and with these Articles of Association.

Only shareholders who alone or together with other shareholders represent at least 2.5% of the share capital or any other amount established by CONSOB through its own regulation, which was equal in 2024 to 1% of ENAV share capital (see Decision 92 of 31 January 2024 of the head of the Corporate Governance Division of CONSOB), are entitled to submit slates. Each slate must contain at least two candidates who meet the independence requirements who must be mentioned separately and one of whom must be placed first on the slate.

According to Article 11-.bis.3 of the Articles of Association, slates with a number of candidates equal to or greater than three must include candidates of a different gender, as indicated in the notice of call to the Shareholders' Meeting, so as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors is compliant with the applicable legislation on gender balance. In this regard, it should be noted that Article 147-ter of the TUF, as amended by Law 160 of 27 December 2019,

establishes that Directors shall be appointed so as to ensure gender balance such that the less represented gender should hold at least two-fifths of the offices on the Directors elected. These new rules shall apply for six consecutive terms of office. The regulations under Article 144 undecies.1(3) of the Issuers Regulation establish that, should the application of the gender allocation criterion not result in a whole number of members of the management or supervisory bodies from the less represented gender, that number shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The ENAV Board of Directors consists of 9 members, 4 of whom from the less represented gender, and therefore complies with the above-mentioned legislation and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.

For the purpose of nominating candidates to the office of ENAV Director, each shareholder may submit (or participate in the submission of) only one slate. Parties in parent companies, subsidiaries or companies subject to joint control may not present, participate in the submission of or vote in other slates, including through a third party or a trust company, subsidiaries being the companies indicated under Article 93 of the TUF, applicable from time to time or as eventually replaced. Each candidate may be present in one slate; otherwise they shall no longer be eligible for election. The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate, upon penalty of inadmissibility, as must the statements with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their own responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that they meet the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements prescribed by the applicable legislation for their respective offices. The appointed directors must notify the Board of Directors without delay if they no longer meet any of these requirements, as well as any supervening causes of ineligibility or incompatibility. Each person entitled to vote shall vote for only one slate.

In particular, in accordance with Article 11-bis.3 of the Articles of Association, the procedure for the election of directors is as follows:

  • in the progressive order in which they are presented on the slate, three fourths of the directors to be elected (rounded downwards in the case of a fraction) are elected from the slate that received the highest number of votes;
  • the remaining directors are selected from the other slates. To this end, the votes obtained by the other slates are divided subsequently by one, two, three and so on, according to the number of directors to be elected. These quotients are assigned progressively to the candidates of each of these slates, according to the order respectively provided by them. Candidates who have obtained the highest quotients shall be elected. If several candidates obtained the same quotient, the candidate to be elected will be from the slate that has not yet elected a director or that has elected the lowest number of directors. If none of these slates has yet to elect a director or if all have elected the same number of directors, the candidate elected will be the one that has obtained the highest number of votes in these slates. In the event of a tie of slate votes and given the same quotient, a new vote will be held by the entire Shareholders' Meeting and the candidate that obtains the simple majority of votes will be elected;
  • for the purposes of allotting the directors to be elected, account is not taken of candidates indicated in slates that have obtained a number of votes lower than one half of the percentage required for presentation of the slates;
  • if the minimum required number of independent directors and/or directors belonging to the less-represented gender is not elected, the directors on the slate that obtained the most votes with the highest consecutive number that do not fulfil the requirements in question will be replaced by the subsequent candidates that do fulfil the requirement(s) presented on the same slate. If, even when applying this criterion, it is not possible to identify directors with the above-mentioned characteristics, the replacement criterion indicated will be applied to the minority slates that have received the most votes from which elected candidates are selected; if, even when applying the replacement criteria herein, appropriate individuals for replacement are not identified, the Shareholders' Meeting will resolve based on simple majority. In this case, the replacements will take place from the most voted slates and from the candidates with the highest number of votes.

If during the financial year, one or more directors are no longer present, the provisions of Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code shall apply. If one or more of the departing directors was drawn from a slate containing names of candidates that were not elected, replacement will take place by appointing, according to the consecutive order, persons from the slate that the departing director was listed on and who are in at that time eligible and available to accept the office. In any case the replacement of departing directors will be performed by the Board of Directors, which will ensure the presence of the necessary number of directors that meet the independence requirements and ensure compliance with the applicable legislation on gender balance. If the majority of directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting no longer holds, the entire Board shall resign and a Shareholders' Meeting shall be called immediately by the remaining directors to restore the Board.

3.4. Integrity and professionalism requirements and reasons for ineligibility and incompatibility of Directors

Directors must meet the integrity and professionalism requirements set by the law, by the applicable regulations and by the Articles of Association.

In particular, in accordance with Article 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association:

  • 1) Directors must be selected according to criteria of professionalism and skills from among persons who have at least three years' experience through:
    • a) activities involving administration or control or management roles within companies,
    • b) professional activities or the teaching of legal, economic, financial or technical/scientific subjects at university level, or other subjects that are relevant or in any case functional to the operations of the Company, or
    • c) administrative or management functions in government entities or departments, operating in sectors related to the Company sector, or entities or departments that are not related to the above-mentioned sectors, provided that the functions involve the management of financial resources.
  • 2) the Board of Directors shall provide guidelines, including through the issuance of appropriate board regulations, in accordance with the principles and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, regarding the maximum number of offices a director may hold in other companies that is considered compatible with the effective performance of the office of director within the Company.
  • 3) a director shall be considered ineligible or shall forfeit their office for just cause, without being entitled to compensation for damages, in the event that a conviction (even if not final) is issued against them, save for the effects of rehabilitation, for any of the crimes provided for:
    • a) by the laws governing banking, financial, securities and insurance operations and the laws on markets and securities and payment instruments;
    • b) under Title XI of Book V of the Italian Civil Code and Royal Decree 267 of 16 March 1942;
    • c) by crimes committed against the public administration, the good faith of the public, property, public order, the public economy or tax offences;
    • d) by Article 51, paragraph 3-bis of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure and Article 73 of Presidential Decree 309 of 9 October 1990.

A director shall also be considered ineligible if they are committed to trial or ordered for immediate trial for any of the crimes set forth under the first sentence, letters a), b), c) and d), if there has not been an acquittal, even if non-definitive, or issued a conviction ascertaining the wilful commission of a tax crime.

Any director who, during the course of their term of office, should receive notification of an order committing them to trial or immediate proceedings for any of the crimes set forth in the section

above under letters a), b), c) and d), or of a definitive judgement ascertaining the wilful commission of a tax crime shall immediately inform the Board of Directors, which shall be required to maintain confidentiality. In its first meeting thereafter or, in any case, within ten days subsequent to being informed of the rulings referred to in the third sentence above, the Board of Directors shall verify whether any of the circumstances indicated above exist.

If the verification is positive, the Director shall be removed from office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification except if the Board of Directors, within the above-mentioned period of ten days, convenes a Shareholders' Meeting to be held within the following sixty days, to submit to such meeting a proposal that the Director be retained in office, supporting such proposal on the grounds that retaining the Director in office is in the overriding interest of the Company. If the verification by the Board of Directors is carried out after the end of the financial year, then the proposal shall be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the relative financial statements, subject to compliance with the time limits set forth in the applicable legislation.

If the Shareholders' Meeting does not approve the proposal of the Board of Directors, the director shall forfeit her/his office with immediate effect for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification. Without prejudice to the provisions of the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer who is subject to: (a) incarceration or (b) pre-trial detention or house arrest, upon the outcome of the procedure envisaged under Article 309 or Article 311(2) of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, or after the associated time limits for establishment, shall forfeit his/her office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification, and with the concurrent termination of all the powers conferred upon him/her. Similarly, the Chief Executive Officer shall forfeit office if he/she is subject to any other type of personal pre-trial restriction that can no longer be appealed, if such measure is considered by the Board of Directors such as to render the execution of the powers conferred impossible.

For the purposes of the application of the above-mentioned provisions of the Articles of Association, a plea agreement entered into in accordance with Article 444 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is deemed equivalent to a conviction, unless the offence is extinguished. Accordingly, the Board of Directors shall ascertain the existence of the situations provided for herein, with reference to the cases which are regulated in whole or in part by foreign jurisdiction, based on an assessment of essential equivalence.

3.5. Independence Requirements for Directors

With regard to the independence requirements for ENAV Directors, and the assessments thereof, in addition to the above-mentioned provisions of the Articles of Association, reference should made to the provisions of Article 147-ter(4) of the TUF and Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code.

In order to identify the quantitative and qualitative criteria to be applied when assessing and verifying the independence requirements, and to adapt the principles and application criteria of the Code to the Company specific characteristics, as per Recommendation 7(c) and (d) of the Code, the Board of Directors approved the "Policy on the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of ENAV S.p.A. Directors" at its meeting on 18 February 2021. (hereinafter also the "Independence Policy"). The guidelines set out in said policy are also taken into account by the Board of Statutory Auditors when verifying the criteria adopted by the Board of Directors for assessing the independence of its members. To confirm the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the independence requirement, during their term of office each Director must provide the Board of Directors with full information on any circumstance that he/she deems may affect, or may appear to affect, their independence.

The assessment by the Board of Directors is carried out on an annual basis and is based on the substance (rather than the form) of the relationship, taking into account any relevant circumstances, within the framework of the definition, of potential cases deemed nonexhaustive.

With regard to the main symptomatic cases, the Independence Policy provides – without such cases being exhaustive – that a Director shall not appear to be independent in the following cases,

as outlined by the Code, which shall be interpreted in light of the recommendations contained therein and of the specific guidance provided in the Independence Policy, in line with each case:

a) if he/she is a significant shareholder of the Company, i.e. a person who directly or indirectly (through subsidiaries, trustees or intermediaries) controls7 the Company or is able to exercise significant influence over it8 or who participates, directly or indirectly, in a shareholders' agreement whereby one or more persons exercise control or significant influence over the Company;

  • b) whether he/she is, or has been in the previous three financial years, an Executive Director or an employee:
    • of ENAV, of one its subsidiaries with strategic relevance9 , or of a company under joint control;
    • of a significant shareholder of the Company;
  • c) whether, directly or indirectly (e.g. through subsidiaries or companies of which he/she is an Executive Director, or as a partner of a professional firm or advising company), he/she has (or has had in the previous three financial years) a significant commercial, financial or professional relationship10:

9 At the present time, ENAV Board of Directors has not yet identified any subsidiary company as having strategic relevance.

7 With regard to control, according to the Company current ownership structure, the Company is controlled by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (hereinafter also "MEF"), which, pursuant to Article 35 of Law 144 of 17 May 1999, exercises shareholder rights in conjunction with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (hereinafter also "MIT"). Note also that, pursuant to Article 6.5 of the Articles of Association, and in accordance with Article 3 of Decree-Law 332 of 31 May 1994, converted with amendments by Law 474 of 30 July 1994, there is a limit on the rights that may be exercised by a person holding a shareholding of more than 5% of the share capital – a provision that does not apply to the shareholding in the Company capital held by the MEF, by public entities or by entities they control.

The presence of a party exercising control over the Company does not, however, preclude the possibility in the abstract, for one or more different parties to exercise a "significant influence" over the Company, which is a circumstance that would therefore have to be assessed in each case.

8 The notion of "significant influence" for such purposes (as fully referred to herein) is that established by: (i) Annex 1, section 2, of the regulation adopted for transactions with related parties by way of CONSOB resolution 17221/2010 as subsequently amended, and interpreted in light of the guidance provided by CONSOB in the relevant notices and/or provisions; (ii) any applicable interim legal or regulatory provisions. In particular, in order to verify an individual's possible control or influence over the Company, account is taken of direct and indirect relations, including through subsidiaries, trustees and intermediaries.

10 A commercial, financial or professional relationship is considered "significant" in the following cases, all of which shall refer to the time when the Director holds office and/or in the previous three financial years:

- where the Director has a commercial, financial or professional relationship, financial or professional relationship by virtue of which he/she has received (or is entitled to receive) from any Relevant Persons (as defined below in this Report) a fee or remuneration that is simultaneously (i) higher than the threshold percentage of 15% with respect to the total turnover (if he/she has self-employed income or business income) or of 15% of the taxable income (if he/she only has other types of income) of the person concerned; and (ii) higher than the remuneration he/she is due for the office of Director of the Company (including both the remuneration for the office under Article 2389(1) of the Italian Civil Code and the remuneration for attending committees under Article 2389(3) of the Italian Civil Code); with the specification that, in the event that the Director holds the office of partner/associate of a professional firm or controls a company, the values stated above must be assessed in light of the percentage share held by the Director in the associated firm/company and, in any event, the commercial, financial or professional relationship must not exceed 5% of the total turnover of the associated firm or company controlled by the Director;

- where, irrespective of the economic-financial values, one of the Relevant Persons has granted the Director in question a professional assignment that is particularly prestigious or that pertains to key Company transactions, taking into account the professional activity typically carried out by the person concerned and the content of the assignments he/she typically receives;

- where the commercial, financial or professional relationship between the Relevant Persons and the Director in question is governed by economic or contractual conditions that do not align with market conditions (it being understood that having a relationship governed by market conditions does not in itself result in a judgement of independence);

- considering that the Company is subject to public control, where the Director concerned performs a significant political activity on an ongoing basis.

  • with ENAV or its subsidiaries, or with the respective executive directors or senior management;

  • with an individual who (including jointly with other individuals through a shareholders' agreement) controls the Company; or, if the parent company is a company or entity, with the respective executive directors or senior management (all of whom are deemed "Relevant Persons" for the purpose of this paragraph);

  • d) whether he/she receives (or has received in the previous three financial years) either from the company, one of its subsidiaries or the parent company, a "significant remuneration" in addition11 to the fixed remuneration12 of that director received for the office and for attending the committees recommended by the Code13;
  • e) whether he/she has been a Director of ENAV for more than nine financial years (including non-consecutively) in the last twelve financial years14;
  • f) whether he/she holds the office of executive director in another company in which an ENAV executive director holds the office of director.
  • g) whether he/she is a shareholder or director of a company or entity belonging to the network of the company assigned to ENAV statutory audit.
  • h) whether he/she is a "close family member"15 of a person falling into one of the situations referred to in the previous points.

Falling outside of the above quantitative parameters shall preclude in principle – except under specific circumstances that are to be concretely assessed – the non-executive director fulfilment of the applicable independence requirements laid down by the Code. The occurrence of one of the above-mentioned situations shall not automatically entail the loss of independence for the person concerned. Rather, any loss of this requirement shall be subject to a specific assessment carried out under the terms set out in the Independence Policy, and taking into account all the relevant circumstances.

The Chair of the Board of Directors may be assessed as independent if none of the above circumstances apply.

Falling outside of the above quantitative parameters shall preclude in principle – except under specific circumstances that are to be concretely assessed – the non-executive director fulfilment of the applicable independence requirements laid down by the Code. Note that the occurrence of one of the above-mentioned situations, which are characterised in terms of significance according to the Code, does not automatically entail the loss of independence for the person concerned. Rather, any loss of this requirement shall be subject to a specific assessment carried out under the terms set out in the Independence Policy, and taking into account all the relevant circumstances.

11 Additional remuneration is deemed "significant" where it is at least 50% over the total remuneration (considering both the remuneration for the office under Article 2389(1) of the Italian Civil Code and remuneration for attending committees under Article 2389(3) of the Italian Civil Code) due to the person concerned as a non-executive director.

12 The remuneration received by the director for the offices held in the parent entity or in the subsidiary is deemed "additional remuneration" and must therefore have its significance assessed for the purpose of Recommendation 7(d) of the Code. 13 "Fixed remuneration for the office" shall mean:

i. the remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting for all Directors or established by the Board of Directors for all non-executive Directors within the overall amount as resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting;

ii. any remuneration paid for the particular office held by the individual non-executive Director within the Board of Directors. 14 With regard to this criterion, consideration is made of the circumstance where the person has held the office of Director (or even General Manager or Manager with strategic responsibilities) for at least ten years (including non-consecutively) in the last twelve years.

15 The Code does not identify the scope of close family members. "Close family members" are commonly understood to be parents, children, brothers and sisters, the spouse where not legally separated, the cohabitant more uxorio, and any family member cohabiting with the director concerned. This is without prejudice to the need for the Board of Directors to establish this scope, taking into account the circumstances of the concrete case.

3.6. Diversity policies and criteria

The policy on the diversity of the composition of the management and supervisory bodies – adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with Principles 2.P.4 and 8.P.2 of the Corporate Governance Code and published on the Company website – includes certain guidelines to ensure the broadest and most appropriate range of perspectives within corporate governance, with particular regard to gender, age, training and experience of the board members, and sets out processes to monitor the application of the policy.

In particular, the policy is addressed to the individuals involved in the process of selecting and appointing members of the corporate bodies (shareholders when appointing the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors), including the submission of slates and the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meeting, for their respective responsibilities in the event that it becomes necessary to replace directors during their term of office pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.

Without prejudice to the requirements of professionalism, integrity and independence, as well as the conditions of incompatibility and/or forfeiture defined by law, regulations and by the Company Articles of Association, the policy seeks to ensure an adequate presence on the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Body of a diverse, complementary range of skills and experiences in order to promote dialogue and the efficient functioning of these bodies, with particular regard to:

• experiences in the air transport, infrastructure or transport sectors, gained at the executive level (Chief Executive Officer or other senior offices in business or operations functions) or, alternatively, in academic or government service;

• experience in the legal field, with particular regard to national and international contracts and experience of major corporate transactions, in relation to the opportunities for external business development;

• expertise in sustainability and social responsibility issues;

• experience in risk management and control systems, with management, accounting and financial expertise;

• multi-year experience in corporate governance issues gained on the corporate bodies of listed companies, possibly operating in regulated industries, so as to be able to enrich the ENAV Board with specific skills.

In referencing the provisions of law, regulations and the Articles of Association concerning gender balance, the policy establishes further diversity criteria and recommends the presence on the corporate bodies of persons with significant professional experiences gained abroad and/or in major offices in companies with a high level of international exposure.

Lastly, the policy complies with Principle VII and Recommendation 8 of the Code. Taking into account Recommendation 23 and having regard to ENAV ownership structure (as a concentrated property company), the Board of Directors may consider whether to confirm or revise the contents of said policy.

3.7. Maximum number of offices held in other companies

In accordance with the Articles of Association and with the provisions of the BoD Regulation, Directors of ENAV accept the appointment and remain in office for as long as they believe they can dedicate the necessary time to diligently perform their tasks, taking account of both their commitment associated with the work-related and professional activities and the number and nature of the offices they may hold on the management and supervisory bodies of listed companies and companies that operate in the financial, banking and insurance sectors or in companies of significant size.

In this regard, in line with Recommendation 15 of the Corporate Governance Code, on 21 December 2021 the Board of Directors expressed its guidance, confirming the guidance previously adopted by the pro tempore Board of Directors in compliance with the previous Corporate Governance Code. This policy (available in the "Governance" section of the website https://www.enav.it/governance/documenti-societari) determines the maximum number of

offices as Director or Statutory Auditor that is deemed compatible with an effective and diligent performance of the office of Director of the Company.

The above-mentioned policy considers as significant for this purpose only offices held on the management and supervisory bodies of the following types of companies ("Significant Companies"):

  • (i) companies with shares listed on regulated markets, including foreign companies;
  • (ii) other Italian or foreign companies, whose shares are not listed on regulated markets, operating in the financial, banking or insurance sector or having total assets of more than €1,000 million and/or revenues of more than €1,700 million based on their most recent approved financial statements.

The policy specifies the limitations on the number of offices that can be held at the same time (measured through a system of specific "weightings" for each type of office), which differ depending on: (i) the commitment associated with the office held by each party on both the ENAV Board of Directors and on the management and supervisory bodies of other Significant Companies; and (ii) the nature of the companies with which the other offices are held, excluding from this calculation the offices held in direct and/or indirect subsidiaries or associates of ENAV.

It also states that ENAV Chief Executive Officer shall not hold the office of director of another issuer not belonging to the same group, whose Chief Executive Officer is a Director of ENAV.

The ENAV Board of Directors may grant reasoned exemptions to the above limits, taking due account of the characteristics and complexity of the office.

The BoD Regulation provides that the policy regarding the maximum number of offices that ENAV Directors can hold is updated at least every three years.

At the date of the Report, based on the communications made by the Company Directors, as verified by the Board of Directors at the time of its installation, as well as periodically and most recently at its meeting of 20 February 2024, the number of offices currently held by ENAV Directors in administration and supervisory bodies of Relevant Companies is compatible with the limits set by the policy.

3.8. Board of Directors Regulation

On 18 February 2021, the Board of Directors, also taking into account Recommendation 11 of the Code, adopted its own regulation (the "BoD Regulation"), which combines the Articles of Association rules, self-disciplinary regulations and best practices concerning the prerogatives and functioning of the Company Board of Directors. This regulation was updated on 14 November 2023.

All in coordination with the relevant figures, i.e. the Director responsible for ICRMS and the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee; (x) offers a summary of the provisions of the law, the Code and the Articles of Association regarding the rules of operation of the Board of Directors, in order to guarantee the goal set by principle IX of the Code to "ensure an effective management of the information made available to the Board" by way of an orderly and complete flow of information to the Directors, regulating the ordinary and extraordinary cases of convocation, in addition to the rules for storing the documentation supporting the discussion, and methods of registration by the Secretary; (xi) incorporates the Directors' confidentiality obligations with regard to information acquired in their role, including, among other things, in accordance with the Company Guidelines for the Management of Privileged Information, the case studies of information of a relevant or privileged nature; and (xii) regulates the arrangements for the self-assessment process of the Board of Directors, to be carried out at least once every three years, as established by Recommendation 22 of the Code for large companies with limited concentrated ownership.

3.9. Operation of the Board of Directors

The rules regarding the functioning of ENAV Board of Directors are contained in ENAV Articles of Association and in the BoD Regulation referred to in section 3.8 herein, which were adopted in compliance with Principle IX of the Code to establish the rules and procedures for the operation of the Board of Directors and its committees, and to ensure an effective management of board information.

With regard to the frequency of the meetings of the Board of Directors, as provided for in the Articles of Association and in the BoD Regulation, the Board of Directors usually meets once a month and in any case whenever the Chair considers it appropriate or if requested by the Chief Executive Officer or at least one third of its members or the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The notice of the meetings of the Board of Directors, in accordance with Article 13.2 of the Articles of Association and with Article 10.1 of the BoD Regulation, is to be sent at least five days before the date set for the meeting, or, in urgent situations, at least 24 hours beforehand, to the domicile of each director, member of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Magistrate of the Court of Auditors, sent by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, telegram, fax, e-mail or any other appropriate means that provides proof of receipt, and it shall contain the date, time and place of the meeting and the agenda.

Together with the notice, all the documentation relating to the items on the agenda or in any case useful in order to make the directors promptly aware of the issues submitted to them shall be made available thereto.

Having regard to the balance of the needs of confidentiality, accessibility, security of information and privacy, the documentation relating to the matters covered at the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees, as provided for in the BoD Regulation, is made available through computer systems accessible on the move, which guarantee the full availability of the information necessary for the proper fulfilment of the Board term of office, at the same time ensuring traceability and selective access according to the highest cyber security standards. The documentation to support the Board meetings is kept by the Secretary of the Board of Directors, as well as archived on the above-mentioned computer systems.

During the 2023 Financial Year and in the first few months of 2024, the statutory deadline was always met, except for certain specific situations linked to exceptional cases. Specifically, exceptions were made with regard to determinations characterised by confidentiality and urgency, such as limited business transactions and organisational changes in top management offices. In such cases, the disclosure was provided and the reasons for the exemption were

presented to the Board. However, the documentation was provided in good time in order to comply with the principle of informed action by the directors, including with regard to relevant information.

Meetings of the Board of Directors may also take place over audio or an audio-visual link. In such a case, the Chair (or, in the event of his/her absence or impediment, the person who replaces him/her) must verify that quorum is met for the meeting, by personally and in a certain way identifying all the attendees connected over audio or audio-visual link, and by ensuring that the audio-visual or broadcasting tools allow the presence thereof to be checked throughout the meeting and that they allow the speakers to follow the discussion, review, receive and transmit documents and to intervene in the discussion of the topics, all in real time. Where these requirements are met, the meeting of the Board of Directors is to be deemed as held in the location of the Chair, where the Secretary must also be present.

As required by the BoD Regulation, the Chair shall ensure during meetings that prompt and adequate in-depth studies are carried out on the items on the agenda, and shall ensure, in agreement with the CEO, that the managers of the Company and those of the Group companies, responsible for the organisational structures in the relevant remit, intervene in Board meetings to provide the appropriate insights on the items on the agenda.

Pursuant to the BoD Regulation, the minutes of each meeting of the Board of Directors are drawn up by the Secretary; these minutes record the discussions and resolutions passed, as well as any abstention, dissent or vote against by the Directors. The minutes – taking into account any amendments requested by the Directors and Auditors – are approved at the following meeting by the Board of Directors, signed by the Chair and Secretary, and recorded in the relevant company register.

During 2023, the Board of Directors met 16 times. The average duration of the meetings was approximately 1 hour and 19 minutes, with the attendance of 97.22% of the members of the Board of Directors, including 97.22% of the independent directors. For additional information regarding the attendance of members at the Board of Directors meetings, please see table 2 to attached to the Report.

The Board of Directors meetings were also attended, depending on the items on the agenda, by the heads of the relevant corporate structures, who assisted the CEO or the Chair in providing the appropriate in-depth analysis of the items under discussion. In particular, Board meetings are always attended by the Group General Counsel. All meetings of the Board of Directors are attended by the Financial Reporting Officer, where the matters being discussed fall within his/her area of competence; these include (in addition to the financial reports for the period, the business plan, the budget and financial operations) any other matter for which his/her attendance is deemed useful: to this end, the Secretary of the Board of Directors informs the Financial Reporting Officer of the items on the agenda when each meeting of the Board of Directors is called. Managers with Strategic Responsibilities and the others who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer (and where appropriate those who report to them) attend meetings where the matters being discussed fall within their area of competence.

3.10. Board assessment

The BoD Regulation provides that the Board of Directors, with the investigative support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, where deemed also to be using an independent advisor, ensures to carry out at the frequency deemed appropriate, and in any case at least once every three years, a self-assessment on the functioning of the Board and its Committees, as well as on their size and composition, also taking into account elements such as professional, experience, including managerial, and gender characteristics of its members, as well as their seniority in office.

According to best practice, the Board of Directors regularly carries out the board assessment process with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, which was tasked with assisting the Board in reviewing the method used by the most recently appointed independent advisor: Heidrick & Struggles.

In line with the recommendations of the Code, the Board of Directors carried out the selfassessment of the Board and its Committees for the Financial Year with the support of the abovementioned advisor. The work involved gathering information on the qualitative and quantitative composition and functioning of the Board of Directors, administering questionnaires, conducting individual interviews with Directors on the effectiveness, size, composition and functioning of the Board, as well as peer to peer reviews. The results of the work were first presented at the meeting on 20 March 2024, and subsequently at the meeting on 8 April 2024.

On this last occasion, the Board of Directors carried out its own self-assessment, acknowledging the completion of the process and identifying areas for improvement that may constitute points for reflection and work for the subsequent years of the current term of office.

3.11. Board of Directors Succession and Orientation Plans.

In light of Recommendation 24 of the Code, on 25 January 2022 the Board of Directors (upon the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and in line with the previous resolutions passed on the subject) adopted a plan for the succession of executive directors. To ensure continuity in the regular management of the Company, considering the corporate structure and the circumstance where – under the law and the Articles of Association – directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates submitted by the shareholders, said plan governs the actions to be taken in the event of early termination of the office of the CEO with respect to the ordinary expiration of the term of office, or in the event of unexpected and unforeseeable events that prevent him/her from performing his/her tasks.

The Company prepares and updates succession plans for managers with strategic responsibilities in order to ensure the maximum continuity and sustainability of operations in the long term. As per Recommendation 24 of the Code, during the FY, on 28 June 2022, the Board of Directors (with the preliminary support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee) verified the Company methods and procedures for senior management succession plans.

Ahead of the renewal of the administrative body, scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the 2022 financial year, by way of the resolution of 20 February 2023, the Board of Directors – in light of Recommendation 23 of the Corporate Governance Code, considering also the results of the three-year self-assessment process, and on the basis of the proposal from the Remuneration and Appointments Committee – adopted its own guidelines for the optimal qualitative and quantitative composition of ENAV Board of Directors. Said guidelines set out the managerial and professional profiles and skills deemed necessary, also in light of the company sectoral characteristics and the diversity criteria set out in Principle VII and Recommendation 8 of the Code, as well as the guidelines expressed on the maximum number of offices as per Recommendation 15 of the Code. Said guidelines were published on 20 February 2023 in the "governance" section of ENAV website, well in advance of the publication of the notice of call of the Shareholders' Meeting for the renewal of the Board of Directors, on 17 March 2023. In the notice of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Company required Shareholders who submitted a slate containing more than half the number of candidates to be elected, to provide adequate information – as part of the documentation submitted when filing the slate – to support its compliance with the guidance expressed by the Board of Directors, including in relation to the diversity criteria set out in Principle VII and Recommendation 8 of the Code.

3.12. Induction initiatives

In addition to the general legislative obligation of Directors to conduct themselves diligently according to the requirements of the nature of their office and to their specific skills, the Corporate Governance Code also recommends that they must be aware of the duties and responsibilities inherent in their office. The competence of Directors is not limited to their professional profile, but rather requires attention and constant updating in response to developments in the broad framework of the activity of the enterprise, not only with regard to the business in the narrow sense, but also with regard to developments in the related legislative, regulatory and corporate governance framework, with the primary objective of constantly enhancing the expertise and professionalism of each Director.

In order to reinforce the level of competence and professionalism of the members of the administration and supervisory bodies, in compliance with Recommendation 12(d) of the Code and the Board of the BoD Regulation, the Chair of the Board of Directors, with the help of the Secretary of the Board itself, ensures that "all members of the management and supervisory bodies can participate, after their appointment and during their term of office, in initiatives to provide them with adequate knowledge of the business sectors in which the Company operates, corporate dynamics and their trends, with a view also to the Company sustainable success, as well as the principles of proper risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference".

To facilitate the members' participation in these initiatives and sessions, the BoD Regulation also provides that, at the beginning of the financial year, the Chair of the Board of Directors – with the support from the Secretary – makes available the calendar of induction initiatives for the current financial year.

Since its installation, the current Board of Directors has pursued an extensive and structured induction programme, with the support of management, as well as leading experts on the subject where deemed appropriate, in order to maximise the specific skills of its members and optimise the onboarding process, including with specific in-depth sessions on strategy issues.

During the Financial Year and up to the date of this Report, 7 induction sessions, a Sustainability Day and several information and sharing sessions on strategic issues and scenarios were held.

In particular, these initiatives, conducted as also reported with the support of external advisors, concerned: visit to the ACC at Ciampino (10 May); visit to the Fiumicino Operations Tower (19 June); Economic System Overview (18 July); Sustainability (3 August); Obligations and responsibilities of joint-stock company directors (26 September); Privileged Information (30 January); Operational Induction at the Fiumicino Tower (20 February).

With a view to ever-greater integration of sustainability issues in the business, which increasingly involves the corporate population, ENAV periodically organises its Sustainability Day. On this day, the Group work in the field of sustainability and the initiatives it is adopting are illustrated with the contribution of the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. During the Financial Year, the Sustainability Day was held on 28 November 2023.

3.13. Chair of the Board of Directors

The Chair of the ENAV Board of Directors is Alessandra Bruni, who was appointed to that office by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023.

The Chair calls meetings of the Board of Directors, sets the agenda, coordinates their work and provides the directors and members of the board of auditors with all information regarding the matters to be discussed.

In addition to the powers provided for by law and the Articles of Association concerning the operation of the corporate bodies and legal representation of the Company, the Board of Directors resolved to grant the Chair the following powers:

(i) to coordinate internal audit activities, supervising the operations of the relevant departments;

  • (ii) to handle relations with domestic and international institutions, together with the Chief Executive Officer;
  • (iii) to oversee corporate governance, coordinating the activities of the Secretary of the Board of Directors and, through the latter, the activities of the Board Committees.

The Chair of the Board of Directors – in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer – also handles the communications activities of the Company and its relations with the media, both domestic and foreign.

Given that he/she has not been delegated powers for the management or development of corporate strategies, the Chair of the Board of Directors is classed as a non-executive Director pursuant to the Code.

The Chair plays a role of providing impetus and supervision over the functioning of the Board of Directors and to that end, according to the provisions of the BoD Regulation and in line with Principle X and Recommendation 12 of the Code, with the support of the Secretary of the Board of Directors (the "Secretary") he/she ensures: (i) that the pre-Board information and complementary information provided during the meetings are suitable to allow directors to act in an informed manner in the performance of their role, making available to them the material and useful information in their possession or received by the CEO and their structures; (ii) that the activities of the Committees be coordinated with that of the Board of Directors; (iii) that all Directors and Statutory Auditors may participate, after appointment and during their term of office, in induction initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the sectors of activity in which ENAV operates, the corporate dynamics and their evolution, also with a view to the sustainable success of the Company, as well as the principles of correct risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference; (iv) the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process of the Board of Directors, with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.

The Chair of the Board of Directors, in conjunction with the CEO, then ensures that the Board of Directors is informed, by the earliest possible meeting, about the development and significant contents of the dialogue with all the shareholders, in accordance with the Engagement Policy and Recommendation 3 of the Code.

During the assessment of the independence requirements for the members of the Board of Directors last carried out on 20 February 2024, as per the provisions of law, Articles of Association, and Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code and the Policy, the administrative body confirmed that the Chair of ENAV Board of Directors fulfils the requirements of independence in accordance with both Article 148 of the TUF and the Corporate Governance Code.

Secretary of the Board of Directors

In line with Recommendation 18, the Secretary of the Board of Directors assists and supports the Chair in coordinating the proceedings of the Board and its Committees, and assists with induction and self-assessment initiatives. The BoD Regulation establishes that the Secretary must be selected from among the Company employees or even from outside the Company and is appointed after verifying the fulfilment of adequate requirements of professionalism, including in particular proven experience in corporate law and governance matters. The Secretary is appointed by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Chair at the start of each financial year.

The Secretary supports the activity of the Chair and provides impartial assistance and independent legal advice to the Directors on their rights, powers, tasks and obligations to ensure the proper exercise thereof. In addition, the Secretary, together with the Chair, manages board meeting minutes.

The Secretary may have other organisational tasks within the Company, as long as this does not compromise his/her independence of judgement vis-à-vis the Board or the proper performance of his/her tasks, for which he/she has an adequate organisational structure and staff, also taking into account his/her possible assignment to the office of secretary on one or more Committees.

3.14. The Chief Executive Officer

The CEO of ENAV is Pasqualino Monti, who was appointed to this role by the Board of Directors at the time of his installation on 28 April 2023.

In accordance with Article 2381(5) of the Italian Civil Code and with Article 18(5) of the Articles of Association, the Chief Executive Officer ensures that the organisational and accounting structure is appropriate to the nature and size of the Company.

The Chief Executive Officer is granted all powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, including legal representation and sole power of signature before any judicial and administrative authorities, as well as the functions and powers that are not otherwise reserved by law, the Articles of Association or other authority to the Board of Directors or granted to the Chair, as discussed, respectively, in sections 3.7 and 3.10 above. The Chief Executive Officer is qualified as the primary individual responsible for the management of the company within the meaning of Recommendation No. 4 of the Code.

The Chief Executive Officer has also been designated the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system.

In order to keep the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Body constantly updated, the Chief Executive Officer also informs them promptly, and in any case at least quarterly, about the activities carried out, the general course of operations of the Company and their foreseeable developments, and about the main financial operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries. The information is provided both on the occasion of the meetings of the Board of Directors, which always have a specific item on the agenda, and in a report written in conjunction with the Board meetings called to approve the financial reports.

In line with Recommendation 1(b) of the Code, and in compliance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the law and the BoD Regulation, the CEO informs the Board of Directors (at least on a quarterly basis and in conjunction with the Board meetings called to approve the financial reports) about the activities carried out in execution of the powers conferred. To that end, as required by the BoD Regulation, the Board of Directors establishes the frequency (at least on a quarterly basis) at which the CEO provides a report on the exercise of delegations, also identifying, with the support of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee at least every three years, the applicable materiality thresholds and the necessary claims, most recently carried out by way of the resolution of 21 December 2021.

3.15. Non-executive Directors

With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board is composed entirely of nonexecutive directors, as none of them, including the Chair, have been assigned individual management responsibilities or specific roles in the development of corporate strategies. The number of non-executive directors, their expertise and the time they can devote to the office are such as to ensure that their judgement has a significant influence on Board decisions. Nonexecutive directors bring their specific professional expertise and experience to Board discussions, enriching them with diverse views and perspectives and encouraging the adoption of thoroughly assessed and considered decisions in line with the Company interests.

3.16. Independent Directors

As of the date of this Report, 8 ENAV Directors out of 9 are considered independent under the provisions of the TUF and the Code.

The Board of Directors, most recently on 20 February 2024, assessed whether its members fulfilled the independence requirements established by law and by the Articles of Association, as well as those set out in the Corporate Governance Code, taking into account also the Policy on the criteria and procedures for assessing the independence of ENAV Directors, whereby it confirmed that Directors Alessandra Bruni, Carla Alessi, Stefano Arcifa, Rozemaria Bala, Franca Brusco, Carlo Paris, Antonio Santi and Giorgio Toschi fulfilled the independence requirements under Article 148(3) of the TUF and Recommendation 7 of the Code.

The Board of Statutory Auditors – as part of its supervisory tasks, with specific regard to Article 149(c-bis) of the TUF and self-governance indications, and in compliance with Article 2.3 of the Board of Statutory Auditors Regulation – verified the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of its members.

The Independent Directors met on 20 December 2023 (in the absence of the other directors as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code) to exchange views on how the Board of Directors and its committees should operate. The meeting was coordinated by Director Giorgio Toschi, as the Chair and, on that occasion, as confirmed also by the parallel self-assessment process, the independent directors emphasised the importance of good team-building and onboarding practices so as to foster, as soon as the new Board took office, a sense of team spirit, positive relations between Board members and, in turn, a fully effective assumption of their roles. The discussion also confirmed the importance of continuing to organise well-developed induction and training courses on an ongoing basis, both with reference to the operational and economic issues of the Company characteristic business management, and the correlative risks, including ESG and cybersecurity, as well as compliance and corporate governance issues. Since the conditions set forth in Recommendation 13 of the Code were not met, a lead independent director was not appointed. Further points that emerged relate to the need – notwithstanding the prerogatives of the CEO as the person responsible for the management of the company – for the Board of Directors, as part of its steering and oversight role, to focus on the ongoing adequacy of the organisational macrostructure and on diversity issues. Lastly, the independent directors expressed their appreciation for the growth recorded during the term of office in terms of both relational dynamics and board dynamics, thanks to sound corporate governance and a further consolidated focus on ESG issues.

3.17. Lead Independent Director

ENAV has not appointed any Director as lead independent director, taking into account the fact that, as at the date of the Report, the conditions set out in Recommendation 13 of the Corporate Governance Code have not occurred.

The BoD Regulation states that, where appointed in the cases provided for by the Code, the lead independent director shall facilitate the Board dialogue, be a point of reference and coordination for the requests and contributions of non-executive Directors and independent directors in particular, and coordinate the meetings of only Independent Directors.

4. REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGERS WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board of Directors reviews the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF, the first section of which (subject to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting) relates to the Company remuneration policy for Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, while the second (subject to an advisory vote) reports the remuneration actually paid during the financial year. As of the date of this Report, ENAV managers with strategic responsibilities are the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Technology Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Human Resources and Corporate Services Officer.

As per the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and best practice, the Company remuneration policy envisages, with a view to creating value for shareholders and pursuing the

Company sustainable success, the recognition of both short- and long-term components, based on clear, exhaustive and differentiated criteria, following predetermined financial and nonfinancial performance targets relating to corporate social responsibility, placing significant weight also on the ESG targets with regard to both variable components.

For an outline of ENAV's Remuneration Policy and for information on the remuneration paid to Directors, Statutory Auditors and management, in addition to the information contained herein, please refer to the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid drawn up by the Company pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF and approved – after examination by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee – by the Board of Directors on 8 April 2024, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year. Said report is published in the Governance section – 2024 Shareholders' Meeting – on the website www.enav.it.

5. COMMITTEES WITHIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As required by the BoD Regulation, the Board of Directors is supported in the exercise of its powers by one or more Committees with investigative, advisory and proactive functions, whose tasks and composition it defines, taking into account the provisions of the Articles of Association, the recommendations of the Code and best governance practice; in any case, the Council establishes, including in a merged form, the Committees responsible for appointments, remuneration, control and risks, related parties, as well as sustainability.

The Board of Directors gives the Committees the financial resources at their disposal and determines how they can avail themselves of external advisors.

The Committees meet whenever their respective Chairs deem it appropriate or a request is made to do so by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the CEO, the Lead Independent Director where appointed, or the Board of Statutory Auditors. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may attend the meetings of the Committees, and the Chair of each Committee may invite to individual meetings the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the other Directors and, informing the Chief Executive Officer, the representatives of the corporate functions competent in the relevant field.

The Chair of each Committee shall coordinate its work and inform the Board of Directors of the activities carried out at the first useful meeting.

The composition, duties and operations of the Committees are governed by specific regulations approved by the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal from the Chair of the Board of Directors, having heard from the Chairs of each Committee. Specifically, by its Resolution of 23 March 2021, the Board of Directors, also in order to take into account the new elements introduced by the Corporate Governance Code, updated the regulations of the intra-Board Committees.

5.1. Remuneration and Appointments Committee

The Board of Directors is supported by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, composed of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent, with consultative and advisory functions on remuneration and appointment matters.

As at the Report date, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee consisted of General Giorgio Toschi (independent non-executive Director) as Chair, and Directors Rozemaria Bala (independent non-executive Director) and Stefano Arcifa (independent non-executive Director), all appointed at the Board of Directors meeting of 28 April 2023 after verifying that they have adequate knowledge and experience in financial and remuneration policies.

The composition of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee ensures that the necessary number of members meet the professionalism and independence requirements set out in the Code.

The composition, tasks and operation of the Committee, with a separate indication of the Committee functions with regard to remuneration and those concerning appointments, are governed in detail in the Committee regulations ("RAC Regulation") approved by way of resolution of the Board of Directors, most recently updated on 23 March 2021.

Pursuant to the above-mentioned regulation, the Committee meets as often as necessary for the proper performance of its functions, or when requested by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the CEO or the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors. The meeting notice, indicating the date, time and place of the meeting and the list of matters to be discussed, is sent to the members of the Committee by e-mail or by another method indicated by the Chair and which can ensure that the information remains confidential, by the Secretary, at the indication of the Chair, as a rule at least three days before the date scheduled for the meeting, although in cases of urgency the term may be shorter, in any case at least 24 hours. Committee meetings are recorded in minutes that are signed by the person chairing the meeting and the Secretary, are kept by the Secretary in chronological order and copied and sent to the members of the Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors as well as the Chair of the Board of Directors and the CEO.

As regards appointments, in accordance with Article 2 of the RAC Regulation and in line with the provisions of Recommendation 19 of the Code, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee is responsible for the following tasks which aim to offer advice and suggestions to the Board of Directors:

  • (a) self-assessment of the Board and its Committees, with specific regard to the adequacy and transparency of the relevant process;
  • (b) definition of the optimal composition of the Board of Directors and its Committees, issuing recommendations regarding professional figures whose presence on the Board is considered appropriate;
  • (c) selecting candidates for the office of Director in the event of co-optation;
  • (d) any submission of a slate by the outgoing Board of Directors to be implemented in a manner that ensures a transparent composition and presentation;
  • (e) preparation, updating and implementation of any plan for the succession of the CEO or the procedures to be followed in the event of early termination thereof;
  • (f) assessment of the existence of appropriate procedures for the succession of senior management.

The Board of Directors is further entrusted with the task of supporting the Board of Directors in assessments of the policy regarding the maximum number of appointments to the governing or supervisory bodies taken by listed or major companies that may be deemed compatible with an effective performance of the role of Director of ENAV.

With regard to appointments regarding remuneration, in accordance with Article 3 of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee Regulation, in compliance with Recommendation 25 of the Code, said Committee is entrusted with the following tasks which aim to offer advice and suggestions to the Board of Directors:

  • (a) assisting the Board of Directors in drafting the policy for the remuneration of directors and senior management, to pursue the sustainable success of the Company and make use of, retain and motivate people who possess the skills and professionalism required by their roles within the Company;
  • (b) submitting proposals or expressing opinions on the remuneration of executive directors and other directors who hold particular offices, as well as on the determination of performance targets relating to the variable component of remuneration;
  • (c) monitoring the actual application of the remuneration policy, and specifically checking the actual achievement of the performance targets;
  • (d) periodically assessing the adequacy and overall consistency of the remuneration policy for directors and senior management, i.e. senior managers who are not members of the Board of Directors and have power and responsibility for planning, management and control of the activities of the Company and its Group;
  • (e) examining in advance the Report on remuneration policy and remuneration paid pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF.

Moreover, within the budget established by the Board of Directors and where the specific nature of an issue requires it, the Committee may avail itself of external advisors and experts of recognised expertise in the subject matters addressed by the Committee, provided that they do not simultaneously provide the Human Resources and Corporate Services department or senior management with strategic responsibilities at a level of services that would compromise the independent judgement of the advisors. The Committee can access the information necessary for the performance of its tasks and draw on the support of corporate functions in the matters within its areas of responsibility.

No Director takes part in the meetings of the Committee in which proposals are made to the Board of Directors that relate to their individual remuneration, unless the proposals refer to all members of the committees established within the Board of Directors.

In accordance with the RAC Regulation, the Chair of the Committee reports at the first subsequent Board Meeting on the meetings held by the Committee.

In 2023, the RAC met 9 times, and the average duration of each meeting was about 1 hour and 21 minutes, with 97% of its members present on average.

5.2. Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee

In application of the recommendations of the Code, the Board of Directors receives support on issues concerning the internal control and risk management system from the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee ("CRRPC"), consisting of non-executive directors (the majority of whom are independent) tasked with providing advice on such matters. With regard to the provisions contained in Article 11-bis.5 of the Articles of Association, the Committee is also competent for related party transactions.

As at the Report date, the CRRPC consisted of Antonio Santi (independent non-executive Director) as Chair, and Directors Franca Brusco (independent non-executive Director) and Stefano Arcifa (independent non-executive Director), all appointed at the Board of Directors meeting of 28 April 2023 after verifying that they have adequate expertise in the air navigation sector, functional to assessing the relative risks, as well as accounting and financial and risk management knowledge and experience pursuant to Recommendation 35 of the Corporate Governance Code.

The composition, tasks and operations of the Committee are governed by its own regulation (the "CRRPC Regulation"), approved by resolution of the Board of Directors and most recently updated on 23 March 2021.

Pursuant to the above-mentioned regulation, the Committee meets as often as necessary for the proper performance of its functions, i.e. to carry out the functions assigned to it by the applicable legislation and the Related Parties Procedure.

Moreover, in line with the provisions of Recommendation 33 of the Code, the CRRPC supports the Board of Directors for decisions within its remit to:

  • a) establish the ICRMS guidelines in line with the Company strategies and to periodically assess, at least annually, the adequacy of the system with respect to the characteristics and risk profile of the company, as well as its effectiveness with a view to the Company sustainable success;
  • b) appoint and revoke the head of the Internal Audit department, defining its remuneration in line with corporate policies, and ensuring that the latter is equipped with the adequate resources to carry out its tasks and, if it decides to entrust the internal audit function, as a whole or for operational segments, to a person outside the Company, ensure that it is equipped with the adequate professional requirements, independence and organisation, providing adequate justification for this choice in the corporate governance report;
  • c) approve, at least annually, the work plan prepared by the Internal Audit Manager, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and the CEO;
  • d) assess the desirability of taking measures to ensure the effectiveness and impartiality of the other corporate structures involved in the controls (such as risk management and legal risk control and non-compliance functions), verifying that they are equipped with the adequate professionalism and resources;

  • f) assess, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors, the results presented by the Statutory Auditor in any letter of suggestions and in the additional report sent to the Supervisory Body;

g) describe, in the report on corporate governance, the main characteristics of the ICRMS and the methods of co-ordination between the stakeholders involved, indicating the national and international models and best practices of reference, expressing its overall assessment of the adequacy of the system itself and taking into account the choices made regarding the composition of the supervisory body referred to in letter e) above.

In accordance with Article 3 of the CRRPC Regulation, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee is tasked with the functions attributed by the Company Related-Party Transaction Procedure (hereinafter also "RPT Procedure").

In order to perform its task, the CRRPC is provided with the necessary resources by the Board of Directors. Moreover, within the budget established by the Board of Directors and where the specific nature of an issue requires it, the Committee may avail itself of external advisors and experts of recognised expertise in the subject matters addressed by the Committee, whose independence and absence of conflicts of interest shall be assessed, also pursuant to the RPT Procedure. The Committee can also access the information necessary for the performance of its tasks and draw on the support of corporate functions in the matters within its areas of responsibility.

The CRRPC and the Board of Statutory Auditors shall exchange all information of mutual interest and, where appropriate, coordinate the performance of their tasks.

In accordance with the CRRPC Regulation, the Chair of the Committee shall report at the first appropriate Board meeting on the meetings held by the Committee.

In 2023, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee met 15 times for an average of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, with 95.56% average attendance of its members. The Board of Statutory Auditors also takes part in the meetings of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, normally as a whole or in the person of the Chair or another Statutory Auditor. The director in charge of the internal control and risk management system is always invited to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee meetings in connection with the activities pertaining to risk control.

Pursuant to the CRRPC Regulation, the Chair of the RAC may invite to the Committee meetings (in addition to the other Directors and the Magistrate of the Court of Auditors) third parties whose attendance may be useful for the performance of the Committee functions and, upon informing the CEO, the representatives of the relevant corporate functions.

6. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The ICRMS of the ENAV Group is composed of a set of rules, tools, organisational units, laws and corporate rules designed to enable ENAV to be run in a sound, fair and sustainable manner, aligned with the corporate goals defined by the Board of Directors, through an effective and efficient process of identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main corporate risks and the implementation of controls to ensure achievement of the corporate goals of:

  • preserving corporate assets;
  • implementing effective and efficient corporate processes;
  • ensuring the reliability of financial reporting;
  • complying with the law, regulations, the Articles of Association and internal corporate rules.

The reference principles, implementation criteria, roles and responsibilities regarding the ICRMS are set out in the ENAV Internal Control and Risk Management System Guidelines (approved by the Board of Directors upon hearing the opinion of the CCRPC), which were most recently updated at the meeting of 20 February 2023.

The Board of Directors has the final responsibility for the ICRMS, and ENAV CEO is in charge of maintaining the ICRMS, implementing the Guidelines, overseeing the design, implementation and management of the system, constantly checking its adequacy and effectiveness. ENAV ICRMS is subject to periodic review and verification, taking into account the evolution of governance and corporate operations, the rules and the reference context, as well as best practices at national and international level.

ENAV ICRMS is divided into three different levels of internal control:

"Level 1"
checks or "line
checks" (risk
ownership)
carried out by risk owners, composed of the set of controls that the individual
organisational structures of ENAV and other Group companies perform on their
own processes to ensure that the operations are performed correctly. These
control activities are entrusted to the primary responsibility of management
and are considered an integral part of every corporate process. The managers
of the individual organisational departments are therefore the primary
managers of the internal control and risk management process. During daily
operations, these managers are called upon to identify, measure, assess,
manage, monitor and report the risks arising from ordinary corporate activity in
accordance with the applicable binding rules, regulations and internal
procedures;
"Level 2"
checks
entrusted to departments – including, in particular, the Financial Reporting
Officer and the Compliance and Risk Management organisational department –
which have hierarchical and functional autonomy and independence from
"Level
1"
organisational
departments,
with
specific
tasks
and
control
responsibilities for various areas/types of risk. The managers of these
departments (both within ENAV and at Group level) monitor the corporate risks
within their own specific remits, propose guidelines on the related control
systems, verify their adequacy in order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in
the control and risk management operations and support the integration of the
risks related to their specific remits.
"Level 3"
checks
carried out by the Internal Audit organisational department which – with regard
to its term of office approved and updated by resolution of the Board of
Directors – provides independent and objective advice and assurance on the
adequacy and effective operation of the level 1 and 2 checks and on the ICRMS
more generally. The Internal Audit therefore has the task of checking the
structure and functionality of the ICRMS as a whole, as well as its alignment with
these guidelines, including by monitoring line checks as well as level 2 control
activities both within ENAV and the Group.

The main parties involved in the Internal control and risk management system are:

  • the Board of Directors of ENAV and the management bodies of the subsidiaries
  • the Board of Statutory Auditors of ENAV and the supervisory bodies of the subsidiaries (where present)
  • the Chief Executive Officer
  • the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee
  • ENAV Supervisory Body and those of the subsidiaries (where present)
  • the Magistrate of the Court of Auditors delegated to audit ENAV financial management
  • the Remuneration and Appointments Committee
  • the Sustainability Committee
  • risk owners
  • the financial Reporting Officer, the Compliance and Risk Management organisational department, the General Counsel organisational department, the Planning and Control organisational department
  • the Internal Audit department

The Data Protection Officer

The following chart provides an overview of the actors in the ICRMS of the ENAV Group, showing the architecture based on the three levels of control.

To ensure maximum coordination between the different components of the control system, the governance arrangements of ENAV establish that:

the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors or another Statutory Auditor appointed thereby shall be invited to the meetings of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, and the other statutory auditors may still attend;

  • the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee shall report to the Board of Directors at least in conjunction with approval of the half-year and annual reports on the activities conducted and on the adequacy of the ICRMS;
  • the Chief Executive Officer promptly reports to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and/or the Board of Directors on any problems or critical issues that emerge in the performance of his/her tasks, or that were otherwise brought to his/her attention, so that the Committee and/or Board of Directors may take the necessary measures;
  • the Magistrate of the Court of Auditors to monitor the Company shall be invited to attend the meetings of the corporate bodies;
  • the Supervisory Body shall report at least once per year to the Board of Directors on the activities conducted and on any need to adjust the controls for the prevention of crime in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/01;
  • the Internal Audit department shall, at least once per year, submit the audit plan based on a structured process of analysis and prioritisation of the main risks – subject to the opinion of the Control and Risk and Related Parties Committee and after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and Chief Executive Officer – for approval by the Board of Directors;
  • the Internal Audit department shall submit its periodic reports and those on events of particular relevance to the Chairs of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Board of Directors, and the Supervisory Board, for issues of relevance under the Legislative Decree 231/2001, to the Chief Executive Officer, to the Financial Reporting Officer for the areas under his/her responsibility, and to the Risk Manager.

In exercising its prerogatives of steering and oversight in relation to risks, the Board of Directors defines and keeps updated, by way of these guidelines, the principles relating to the coordination and flows of information between the various parties involved in the ICRMS, in order to maximise the efficiency of the system itself, avoid duplications of activities, and ensure the effective performance of the tasks of the Board of Statutory Auditors and other parties in charge of audit activities.

6.1. The Director responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System

In accordance with the IRCMS Guidelines, the Director Responsible shall:

  • identify the main corporate risks, supported by the Group Risk Manager, taking account of the characteristics of the business carried out by ENAV and the Group, bringing those risks to the attention of the Board of Directors for periodic review;
  • execute the guidelines of the Board of Directors, overseeing the planning, implementation and management of the ICRMS and checking its ongoing adequacy and effectiveness;

adapt the ICRMS to developments in operating conditions and the legislative and regulatory environment;

  • review as the Director in charge of the SCIGR, and in consultation with the Chair of the Board of Directors – the plan of activities drawn up by the Head of the Internal Audit department, submitting an assessment in this regard to the Board of Directors called to approve the plan, after consulting with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • ask, when necessary, the Internal Audit department to perform checks of specific operational areas, as well as checks of compliance with internal rules and procedures in the performance of corporate operations, informing the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • promptly report to either the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee or directly to the Board of Directors on any problems or critical issues that emerge in the performance of his/her tasks, or that were otherwise brought to his/her attention, so that the Committee and/or Board of Directors may take the necessary measures.

In the FY and in early 2024, the CEO performed the following activities (among others):

  • managed the updating of the ENAV Group "Commercial Risk Policy";

6.2. Internal Audit

The Internal Audit department reports hierarchically to the Board of Directors, represented by the Chair, and bears no operational responsibility.

The department is responsible for checking the correct functioning and adequacy of the ICRMS at Group level, taking into account the tasks assigned to it by the Corporate Governance Code:

checking – both on an ongoing basis and for specific needs – in compliance with international standards, the operations and appropriateness of the ICRMS through the risk-based audit plan, as well as by conducting specific, unscheduled audits;

preparing, at least annually, an audit plan, based on a structured process of analysis and identification of priorities inherent to the main risks, to be submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors;

  • conducting specific audits, where deemed appropriate or at the request of the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the CEO or Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • carrying out assurance and advisory activities to support and assist the internal customer, the nature and extent of which are agreed with the latter, in order to provide added value and improve the organisation governance, risk management and control processes.

The Group Data Protection Officer operates in the department with his/her own autonomy and independence for compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data ("GDPR").

The Internal Audit, as indicated in the term of office approved with a resolution of the Board of Directors, has direct access to all information required for the performance of these tasks and prepares periodic reports containing adequate information on its activities, the procedures through which risks are managed and compliance with the content of the prepared plans. The periodic reports contain an assessment of the suitability of the ICRMS on the basis of the findings of the checks performed in executing the audit plan and any further investigation requested by management and/or supervisory bodies. In order to discharge his/her tasks, the Internal Audit Officer has access to the financial resources, from the departmental budget approved by the Board of Directors, as required to perform the department activities independently or with the support of external entities/individuals.

The Internal Audit prepares timely reports on events of particular significance and transmits them to the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Chair of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Chair of the Board of Directors, to the Supervisory Body and to the Director responsible for the IRCMS (and to the Financial Reporting Officer within the scope of his/her responsibilities). Moreover, the audit plan will verify the reliability of the information systems, including the accounting systems.

With reference to compliance pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01, the Internal Audit handles the following activities for ENAV and for the Group companies with an Organisational, Management and Control Model:

  • a) audits to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the prevention and control system in place, by testing the general and specific control protocols adopted to prevent the potential commission of the offences covered by the regulation. These audits are included in the department annual plan and may be supplemented by further requests made by the Supervisory Bodies of ENAV and the subsidiaries as deemed appropriate during the year;
  • b) monitoring and follow-up of preventive and corrective actions shared with the management;
  • c) collection and verification of information flows periodic and event-driven for the Group Supervisory Bodies;
  • d) technical secretary of the Group Supervisory Bodies;
  • e) maintenance and constant updating of the Organisational, Management and Control Models adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and the Group Code of Ethics.

In addition, two department resources are appointed as internal members in the Supervisory Bodies of two subsidiaries.

With regard to anti-corruption, the Internal Audit department acts as a third-level structure in the controls and activities for the adoption of an effective model within the framework of the programme implemented by the Group.

The Internal Audit ensures constant monitoring of the ENAV Group whistleblowing management system, subjecting each report received to careful assessment and verification. In connection with these issues, and considering the transposition into Italian law (March 2023) of Directive (EU) 2019/1937, in the course of 2023 the text of the whistleblowing regulation and the whistleblowing platform were updated. There was also a review of the composition of the

Whistleblowing Committee, a collegial body whose operating principles are set out in an internal self-regulatory and operating document, which is responsible for the preliminary analysis of the reports received and constant coordination with the Internal Audit department within the scope of any investigative obligations fulfilled.

On 20 June 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Francesco Cagnetti as head of the Internal Audit department, defined adequate remuneration for him in line with corporate policies and verified that he was allocated an adequate number of resources to perform his tasks.

In particular, in 2023, the Internal Audit performed the following activities, among others:

  • it completed the activities established in the Annual Audit Plan (updated during the year) and unscheduled audits resulting from requests not included in the plan and reports received within the scope of the whistleblowing system;
  • it monitored progress and verified the implementation of recommended actions;
  • it ensured regular and timely reporting to the corporate bodies on the progress of its activities and the associated results;
  • also in synergy with the relevant departments, it provided internal advice for risk management in various areas of the corporate business, including i) commercial processes and policies, ii) cybersecurity and iii) ESG;
  • it organised training sessions, in particular on anti-corruption, Legislative Decree 231/2001 and whistleblowing;
  • it supported the updating of the Organisational Models of the Group companies with respect to the changes introduced in Legislative Decree 231/2001;
  • in synergy with the Group Data Protection Officer, it ensured controls on the personal data protection management system for compliance with the GDPR;
  • as part of the Quality Assurance & Improvement Programme (QAIP), it monitored the project to adapt the improvement actions deriving from the 2022 self-assessment;
  • it presented the Strategic Plan of the Department and the Audit Plan, both with a 2024 2026 time horizon, to the ENAV Board of Directors for approval;
  • it updated the Term of office of the Internal Audit department.

6.3. Control system for Risk and Financial Reporting

The ENAV Group control system for financial reporting, which is an integral part of the broader corporate ICRMS, seeks to ensure the reliability, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of financial reporting.

The structure of the financial reporting control system (FRCS) is defined consistently with the "Internal Controls – Integrated Framework" model of the "Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission", which is an international benchmark in relation to which each component of the ENAV internal control system is established, maintained and assessed.

The responsibility for implementing and maintaining an appropriate FRCS is assigned to ENAV Financial Reporting Officer, as governed by Article 154-bis of the TUF and Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association as of 2007.

The principles and methods adopted by the Financial Reporting Officer in the financial year for his/her remit, as well as the tasks of the staff involved in various roles in the maintenance and monitoring of the FRCS are set out in the "Guidelines for the assessment of the FRCS".

The FRCS is established, maintained and assessed through a structured process that includes the following phases:

a. definition of the scope of the companies and significant processes (scoping). ENAV Financial Reporting Officer identifies the companies which are significant within the FRCS, using a top-down and risk-based approach, so as to ensure an adequate monitoring of the areas most exposed to the risk of significant unintentional errors or fraud in the financial statements. The identification of significant companies from a quantitative point of view is carried out on the basis of the contribution of the different entities to the formation of the quantities of the Consolidated Financial Statements, determined on the basis of materiality thresholds calculated with reference, respectively, to the following values: Total Assets, Total Net Revenues, Income before Taxes. Companies that do not exceed these values, but that still present a potential risk in financial reporting, can be considered significant from a qualitative point of view. Significant processes are identified within the selected companies, i.e. processes which produce significant items in the financial statement that exceed a pre-set threshold, or which are deemed as such in consideration of qualitative aspects (risky processes not connected to significant accounts due to the complexity of their accounting or the assessment or estimation processes);

  • b. analysis and assessment of entity-level controls (ELC). Entity-level controls involve Company-Level Controls (CLC) defined as the structured group of processes and controls operating across the organisation to guide, define and monitor the design and operation of the overall FRCS. The CLC structure of ENAV and significant subsidiaries takes into account updates to the reference framework (CoSO Report) and best practices of listed companies. The IT General Control, which regards the infrastructure and interdepartmental processes of Group companies, and the Application Control, which regards the various applications supporting corporate processes, are an integral part of the internal control system;
  • c. analysis and assessment of controls at the process level and identification of key controls, i.e. controls that have the most relevance for the purpose of proper financial reporting. The processes supporting the financial disclosure included in the scope are the subject of mapping and constant updating. The structure of controls at process level provides for specific and monitoring controls, understood as all activities, manual or automated, aimed at preventing, detecting and correcting errors or irregularities that occur in the performance of operational activities. Among the structural elements that support proper operations and the related control, segregation of duties (SOD) plays an important role, which aims to ensure the segregation of incompatible corporate roles and solve critical issues and conflicts within IT profiles, resolving processes and IT systems relevant to financial reporting;
  • d. monitoring of control operations. When carrying out his/her assessment activities, the Financial Reporting Officer uses independent monitoring on all key controls by an external company and, where appropriate, the results of the analyses of the other stakeholders involved in the management of corporate risks, by way of pre-established flows of information. The activities of verifying the proper functioning of the controls are carried out according to criteria agreed with the Financial Reporting Officer.
  • e. assessment of any deficiencies, approval and monitoring of remedial actions and updating of administrative and accounting procedures. The results of the checks are summarised in a special report that also includes an assessment of the main deficiencies found, followed by the related corrective actions to enable the goals of reliability, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of the information to be achieved. Following the evidence that emerged in relation to specific Audits, or any changes reported by the process owners or organisational changes that have occurred, the Financial Reporting Officer updates or – if necessary – draws up the related administrative and accounting procedures and publishes them on the company intranet after sharing them with the process owners. The results of Financial Reporting Officer activities are brought to the attention of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors in a special report when the half-yearly report and the annual financial statements are approved.
  • f. release of the certification of the financial statements and the report on operations by the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Officer. Based on the consolidation of the results obtained and on the overall assessment of the financial reporting control system, the Financial Reporting Officer and the Chief Executive Officer issue a certification on the effectiveness and operation of administrative and accounting procedures, as well as on the truthfulness and accuracy of financial reporting. The certification for the

separate financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and the semi-annual interim financial statements, together with the associated reports on operations, is also supported by a flow of internal certification letters issued by the Heads of the corporate functions of ENAV involved in preparing the financial statements and by the subsidiaries.

6.4. Audit Firm

The audit firm EY S.p.A was appointed to carry out the statutory audit of the separate financial statements of ENAV, the consolidated financial statements of the ENAV Group and the consolidated semi-annual financial report on the ENAV Group, for the years from 2016 to 2024.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, the Financial Reporting Officer was selected on the basis of criteria for professionalism and expertise from among managers with at least three years' experience in administrative functions in companies, or at consulting or professional firms.

As part of his/her responsibilities to ensure the correct drafting of documents and accounting information, the Financial Reporting Officer is tasked with establishing the structure of the controls and monitoring their operations, including with regard to the significant processes of subsidiaries falling within the scope of consolidation.

a) the appropriateness and effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures during the period to which the documents refer;

b) that the documents have been drawn up in compliance with the applicable international accounting standards recognised in the European Union in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 July 2002;

c) that the documents are consistent with the books and other accounting records;

d) that the documents provide a true and fair view of the performance and financial position of the Company and of the companies included in the scope of consolidation;

e) for the separate and consolidated financial statements, that the report on operations contains a reliable analysis of operations and performance, as well as of the situation of the Company and of the companies included in the scope of consolidation, together with a description of the main risks and uncertainties to which it is exposed;

f) for the condensed semi-annual financial statements, that the interim report on operations includes a reliable analysis of the information referred to in Article 154-ter(4) of the TUF.

In order to facilitate the flow of information, the Financial Reporting Officer participates in the meetings of the Board of Directors when the agenda contains issues that affect the performance and financial position of the Company or of the Group and can access all the documents and resolutions of the corporate bodies that affect the Company performance and financial position.

In accordance with Article 154-bis of the TUF, on 20 March 2024 the Board of Directors verified the adequacy of the powers and resources available to the Financial Reporting Officer to perform the tasks assigned and compliance with the related administrative and accounting procedures.

The tasks, responsibilities and powers of the Financial Reporting Officer are set out in detail by specific rules, which are regularly updated by the Financial Reporting Officer in agreement with the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors. The regulation was last approved by the ENAV Board of Directors on 27 September 2022.

As at the date of this Report, there were no incentive mechanisms for the office of Financial Reporting Officer.

6.6. Control by the Court of Auditors

The Company is subject to the auditing of its financial statements and assets by the Court of Auditors, which reports annually to the Italian Parliament in accordance with Article 12 of Law 259 of 21 March 1958, on the legitimacy and regularity of operations and the functioning of internal controls.

7. BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

The Board of Statutory Auditors monitors compliance with the law, regulations and the Articles of Association, with the principles of sound management and particularly the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting arrangements adopted by the Company and its effective operation, as well as the adequacy and functionality of the overall risk management and control system. The Board of Statutory Auditors is an integral part of the overall internal control and risk management system. The Board of Statutory Auditors may request that the directors provide information on corporate operations or specific business. Furthermore, the Auditors may carry out inspections and audits at any time, either individually or as a group.

Pursuant to the applicable auditing regulations, the Board of Statutory Auditors also performs its supervisory functions in its capacity as the "Internal Control and Audit Committee".

7.1. Appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors

In accordance with Article 21 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the Board of Statutory Auditors, which is comprised of three standing auditors from among whom its Chair is elected, and two alternate auditors. The composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must comply with the applicable laws and regulations regarding gender balances.

If during the term of office one or more standing auditors are no longer available, the alternate auditors will replace them in the order that will ensure compliance with the laws and regulations regarding gender balance.

Statutory auditors will serve a three-year term, which shall expire on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements of the third financial year of their term of office. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are selected from among those that meet the professionalism and integrity requirements under the applicable laws and regulations. The following matters are deemed closely related to the Company scope of activities: matters relating to commercial and tax law, business administration and corporate finance, matters and sectors of activity involving communications, telematics and IT, banking, financial and insurance operations.

As regards the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the applicable laws and regulations govern causes of ineligibility and limitations on the number of administrative or control offices that can be held at one time by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors. Please refer to section 3.6 above for a description of the diversity criteria established in relation to the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Standing and alternate auditors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates submitted by shareholders, in which the candidates must be listed in consecutive order and the number of candidates proposed must not exceed the number of members to be elected. For 2024, only shareholders who (individually or jointly with other shareholders) represent at least 2.5% of the share capital, or any other amount established by CONSOB in its regulations for submitting slates of candidates for the appointment of management and supervisory bodies – amounting to 1% of ENAV share capital (see the above-mentioned Decision 92 of 31 January 2024) – shall be entitled to submit slates. The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate, upon penalty of inadmissibility, as must the statements with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that they meet the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements prescribed by the applicable laws.

The appointed standing auditors must notify the Company without delay if they no longer meet any of these requirements, as well as any supervening causes of ineligibility or incompatibility.

Each person entitled to vote shall vote for only one slate.

The applicable laws shall apply to the presentation, submission and publication of slates.

The slates shall contain two sections: one for candidates for the office of Standing Auditor and the other for candidates for the office of Alternate Auditor. At least the first candidates for each section must be registered with the Register of Auditors and have worked as an auditor for no less than three years.

Two standing auditors and one alternate auditor will be drawn from the slate that obtained the largest number of votes, based on the consecutive order in which they are included in the sections of the slate. The remaining Standing Auditor and the remaining Alternate Auditor are appointed in accordance with the applicable regulations and with the terms set forth for the appointment of directors taken from non-majority slates under Article 11-bis.3(b) of the Articles of Association, applicable separately to each of the sections in which the other slates are divided (see paragraph 3.3, Section II).

For the appointment of Statutory Auditors who for any reason are not elected based on slates, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve according to the legal majorities and without observing the procedure indicated above, but in any case in a way that ensures that the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors is compliant with the applicable legislation, regulations and administrative provisions, while respecting the principle of minority representation and the applicable laws on balance between genders16 .

The Standing Auditor appointed pursuant to Article 11-bis.3, b) of the Articles of Association shall assume the chairmanship of the Board of Statutory Auditors. In the event of the Chair replacement, this office shall be assumed by the Alternate Auditor who has also been appointed pursuant to Article 11-bis.3, b) of the Articles of Association.

Moreover, if one of the auditors selected from the slate with the largest number of votes is replaced, he/she shall be replaced by the first of the alternate auditors selected from that slate. If the replacement does not enable the re-establishment of a Board of Statutory Auditors that is compliant with the applicable laws on gender balances, the second of the alternate auditors selected from the same slate shall take over. If it becomes necessary to subsequently replace the other auditor selected from the slate with the largest number of votes, that auditor will be replaced by the other alternate auditor selected from that slate.

7.2. Composition and operation of the Board of Statutory Auditors

On 3 June 2022, the shareholders appointed a new Board of Statutory Auditors and determined the remuneration of its members.

Given that, in accordance with Article 21 of ENAV Articles of Association, the ENAV Board of Statutory Auditors has three standing auditors and two alternates, the standard in question shall apply.

The Chair of the Board of Directors ensured that, subsequent to their appointment and throughout their term of office, the members of the Board of Auditors have been able to participate in initiatives that provide them with adequate industry knowledge, corporate developments, and the regulatory and self-regulatory context in which the Company operates.

8. INVESTOR RELATIONS AND DIALOGUE WITH SHAREHOLDERS AND OTHER RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS

The Company ensures dialogue and engagement with shareholders through the dedicated structures and information channels provided, as well as in compliance with the Engagement Policy approved by the Board of Directors resolution passed on 21 December 2021, which is available in the Governance section of the Company website. This section also contains the main documents and information regarding ENAV corporate structure, corporate governance and information on participation in and the procedures for each ENAV Shareholders' Meeting.

For the overall management of the dialogue with all shareholders and with the Company other stakeholders, ENAV Policy organically records and codifies the practices of engagement and ensures an adequate balance of the entities' roles (corporate bodies and structures) that are involved in various capacities in the dialogue with shareholders, starting with the work of the Investor Relator through to the usual, recurring event of the Shareholders' Meeting.

In compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Policy regulates the forms, methods and competences of direct dialogue with Directors, i.e. Shareholder-Director Engagement ("SDE"). In particular, this indicates:

  • the role of the Board of Directors in directing, supervising and monitoring the dialogue, through the approval of the Policy and the verification of its implementation, based on adequate flows of information provided by those in charge of managing the dialogue;
  • the role of the Chief Executive Officer, who: (i) ensures first and foremost the application of the Policy and dialogue with the parties concerned in accordance therewith; (ii) is competent in matters falling under the management tasks entrusted thereto and, more generally, in business and sustainability matters; (iii) assesses the possible involvement of one or more Directors – or of any other person, either internal or external to the Company – who have the most suitable knowledge and skills to provide information in relation to the matters covered by the SDE; (iv) after consulting the Chair, may refer to the Board of Directors to assess whether the Company has an interest in establishing dialogue with one or more stakeholders;
  • the role of the Chair, who is responsible for corporate governance matters, and ensures that the Board of Directors is informed, at the earliest possible meeting, about the development and significant content of the dialogue with all stakeholders, inviting the Chief Executive Officer to report on the outcome of the engagement activities for matters falling within his/her competence;
  • the support roles of the internal structures, with particular regard to the Chief Financial Officer, the Investor Relator and the Corporate Secretary.

The matters subject to possible engagement based on the policy have a broad scope, embracing business matters and those relating to strategic-financial areas (such as the business plan, general management performance, financial results, etc.), corporate governance (such as the corporate governance system, remuneration policies, etc.), and the risk control system and issues of sustainability and long-term value creation.

The Policy specifically regulates the various methods of engagement (one-way, two-way, bilateral or collective) and rules whereby, on a case-by-case basis and according to the topics subject to engagement, the Chief Executive Officer decides whether or not to accept requests and decides the methods of engagement. The Policy also streamlines and centralises the contact channel so as to direct all requests towards the Chief Executive Officer.

With regard to how meetings are conducted (the management of which is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer), they are attended in accordance with the division of responsibilities whereby, without prejudice to the possibility of involving internal structures and other Directors, the Chief Executive Officer is, as a rule, entitled to discuss business matters with stakeholders (e.g. of a managerial, strategic or financial nature, or about long-term value creation, internal control and risk management) as well as sustainability matters, while the Chair of the Board of Directors is, as a rule, entitled to discuss governance issues with stakeholders.

Lastly, the policy regulates cases where the dialogue is brought about by the Company itself and, in line with Recommendation 3 of the Code, assigns to the Chair the responsibility to inform the Board of Directors, at the earliest possible meeting, about the development and significant content of the engagement activities carried out, together with any requests for engagement that have been refused.

In this regard, it should be noted that on 28 February 2024, a one-way engagement meeting was held with the Managers' Committee in response to a specific request received, in order to share the asset managers' perspectives on the company. During the meeting, the Committee reported its appreciation of the company as a major player operating in a regulated market that offers significant guarantees of stability and protection for investors. It was then emphasised that capital allocation and dividend policy are among the main factors considered by investors. The committee continued its presentation, expressing its perplexity over the press rumours circulating regarding the company interest in Palermo Airport. The company, unable to respond as this was a one-way meeting, thanked the Managers' Committee and took note of the comments made.

In light of the rules laid down in the Policy and with the Company engagement practices, the "Investor Relations" section of ENAV website provides information on the main performance and financial data and documentation, including the financial statements and interim financial reports. Market disclosures of periodic financial highlights are made through publication of press releases on ENAV website, through the SDIR regulated information service.

The Investor Relations structure, in conjunction with the Chief Financial Officer, deals with relations with institutional investors and financial analysts, and manages the correct and timely release of economic and financial information to the market, including by way of ongoing updates on ENAV activities through regular meetings with institutional investors and participation in sector conferences, as well as by sending information and press releases relating to the Company.

In the Financial Year, the Company also proactively sought and established a dialogue with ESG investors by carrying out dedicated conference calls.

The topics of greatest interest emerging from the dialogue with investors during the financial year referred, among other things, to the performance of regulated business and related scenarios, including of a regulatory nature, the performance of the non-regulated market and the Company strategic prospects, also in terms of ESG issues.

As part of its supervisory role, the Board of Directors carefully monitors the dynamics of investor relations, including by way of information provided in a standard format, on a fortnightly basis, by the Chief Executive Officer with the support of the Investor Relations structure, which not only addresses the absolute and relative performance of the stock and analysts' assessments, but also issues of key interest in the dialogue with investors.

Given the consolidated integration of ESG issues in the Company strategies with a view to pursuing the Company sustainable success, ENAV also adopts ongoing stakeholder management methods that include practices for mapping, identifying and engaging the main stakeholders of the Company and Group, who are considered an integral part of the responsible and sustainable management of the business. These stakeholders include, for example, employees, the financial community, airport management companies, carriers and other players in the air transport chain, industry and suppliers and, naturally, the relevant territorial, national and international institutions. The Company engages with these stakeholders on a regular basis to proactively listen to their requests, concerns and expectations, establish a constructive dialogue on material issues of mutual interest and, in the final analysis, to guide choices for the creation of shared value for both the organisation and stakeholders. For further details on ENAV approach to sustainability issues and the generation of long-term value, please refer to the Sustainability Report, which contains a non-financial statement and is available on the ENAV website.

Speaking at the Shareholders' Meeting

In accordance with the Shareholders' Meeting Regulation, the Chair of the Shareholders' Meeting will facilitate the discussion and give the floor to the Directors, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and other persons that have requested to speak.

Persons entitled to vote and the joint representative of the bondholders may request the floor to address the issues being discussed only once, making comments and requesting information. Persons entitled to vote may also make proposals. A request to speak may be made at the time that the Shareholders' Meeting is established and until the Chair declares the discussion on a specific issue closed. To ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting is conducted in an orderly manner, the Chair is entitled to establish, whether upon opening or during the discussion of individual issues, a time limit for the submission of requests to speak.

The Chair establishes how requests are made and the order of the speakers.

The Chair, and upon the latter's invitation, those supporting the Chair in the meeting shall answer the speakers upon completion of all remarks on the issues under discussion, or after each intervention, also taking account of any questions posed by shareholders prior to the Shareholders' Meeting to which the Company has not yet responded.

9.4. The Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023

The 2023 Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2022 was held on single call on 28 April 2023, with the participation of shareholders representing 87.75% of the ordinary share capital.

On that occasion, the Company exercised its right to allow those entitled to vote to attend the shareholders' meeting only through the designated representative pursuant to Article 135 undecies of the TUF, as established by Article 106 of Decree-Law 18/2020, converted with amendments by Law 27/2020, as extended by Article 3, paragraph 10-undecies of Decree-Law 198 of 29 December 2022, converted with amendments by Law 14 of 24 February 2023. The 2023 Shareholders' Meeting was therefore held without the physical presence of the Shareholders, whose rights were exercised in the manner set forth in the meeting notice. At the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting, in addition to the Chair and CEO, the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors and a Standing Auditor attended in person, while some Directors and the remaining Board of Statutory Auditors connected via videoconference, together with the Magistrate of the Court of Auditors, selected managers and collaborators of the Company.

The reports on the proposals for resolutions were submitted and published in accordance with the law and in the manner provided for by the applicable legislation. The Board of Directors participated in the Shareholders' Meeting and the Chief Executive Officer reported on the items on the agenda relating to the financial statements and the allocation of the profit for the financial year in order to ensure that the shareholders were adequately informed so that they could make informed decisions at the Shareholders' Meeting. The minutes of the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting are available in the "Governance" section of the Company website.

10. OTHER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

10.1. Directors' Interests and Related-Party Transactions

With regard to the provisions of Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code, ENAV's Board of Directors has, for some time now, implemented the practice whereby, at each meeting of ENAV's Board of Directors, the Directors are invited to declare, at the opening of the proceedings, any personal interest or interest on behalf of third parties in connection with the items on the meeting's agenda.

With regard to the content of Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code on related-party transactions, of Legislative Decree No. 49 of 10 June 2019, transposing Directive 2017/828/EU "SHRD II") and the amendments subsequently made by Resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 to the Related Parties Regulation, the Company approves related party transactions in compliance with the provisions of the law and regulations in force, its own statutory provisions and the procedures adopted in this regard. ENAV current "Procedure for related-party transactions" ("RPT Procedure") adopted in compliance with the provisions of the applicable legal and regulatory framework, was last updated, taking into account the latest regulatory changes, by ENAV Board of Directors on 1 July 2021, having obtained the opinion of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee17, which is tasked – pursuant to the relevant Regulation – with the tasks of the related-parties committee under the RPT Regulation and RTP Procedure.

The RPT Procedure determines the criteria and procedures for identifying and mapping the related parties of the Company as well as the quantitative criteria for identifying transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV, either directly or through its subsidiaries, trustees or persons interposed, of minor or major relevance, respectively, by regulating the investigation and approval process, in order to ensure transparency and substantial as well as procedural correctness of the same operations.

In particular, the RPT Procedure distinguishes between:

  • transactions involving small amounts: related-Party Transactions with a value not exceeding: i) €200,000 (two hundred thousand) if entered into with natural persons or with related legal entities through Directly Related Parties18, a value which applies to each individual Transaction or cumulatively for the Transactions entered into with the same party during the same financial year; ii) €600,000 (six hundred thousand) if entered into with legal persons; which, given the size of ENAV, do not entail any appreciable risk for the protection of investors or for the integrity of the Company assets, a value which applies to each individual Transaction or cumulatively for the Transactions entered into with the same party during the same financial year (hereinafter "Low-Value Transactions");
  • transactions of greater importance: Related-party transactions for which at least one of the materiality indicators set forth in the RPT Procedure (applicable in relation to the specific transaction) exceeds the 5% threshold, and transactions (even if lower than the above thresholds) that have a strategic value that is significant or affects the operating independence of the Company or its subsidiaries (hereinafter "Transactions of Greater Importance");

In accordance with the provisions of Article 5(2) of the RPT Regulation, the RPT Procedure states that the greater importance threshold may also be exceeded as a result of the accumulation of multiple transactions of lesser importance (see definition below).

For said accumulation to apply, such transactions must be:

  • (i) of an amount greater than the Low-Value threshold but smaller than the threshold for Transactions of Greater Importance;
  • (ii) carried out during the same financial year;

17 In the temporarily adjusted composition referred to in section 5.2.

18 The Directors and Auditors of ENAV, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities of ENAV and of the ENAV Group, as well as the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities of the parent company are considered "Directly Related Parties".

  • (iii) entered into with the same related party;
  • (iv) not included among the exemptions provided for under the RPT Procedure;
  • (v) uniform and/or carried out as part of a unified plan, and therefore linked by their nature and characteristics or the purposes for which they were carried out. To that end, the transactions carried out by subsidiaries, domestic or otherwise, trustees or intermediaries shall also be considered.

If the above conditions are met, the value of individual transactions (as defined in letter (i) above) is aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the greater importance threshold has been exceeded, which would trigger the respective investigation and approval process and the reporting obligations provided for under applicable regulations:

  • transactions of lesser importance: Related-party transactions other than Transactions of Greater Importance and Low-Value Transactions (hereinafter "Transactions of Lesser Importance");
  • ordinary transactions concluded on standard market conditions: transactions that form part of the ordinary operations of the Company and its connected financial activities, which are concluded at arm's length on the conditions usually applied for transactions of corresponding size and risk, or which are based on regulated rates or prices that are imposed or applied to individuals/entities with whom ENAV (or the companies that it directly or indirectly controls) is legally required to enter into an agreement at a specific price.

The RPT Procedure does not apply to certain types of transactions, even if concluded with related parties of the Company, including in particular:

  • a) Low-Value Transactions;
  • b) resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting concerning remuneration payable to the Board of Directors in accordance with Article 2389(1) of the Italian Civil Code;
  • c) resolutions regarding the remuneration of Directors with particular duties which fall under the total amount set by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 2389(3) of the Italian Civil Code;
  • d) resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting regarding remuneration payable to the Board of Statutory Auditors, in accordance with Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code.

The following are also exempt from application of the RPT Procedure, without prejudice to the disclosure obligations provided for in that procedure or the Related Parties Regulation:

  • a) remuneration plans based on financial instruments approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the associated transactions implementing the plans;
  • b) resolutions regarding the remuneration of directors and board members vested with particular tasks as well as Managers with Strategic Responsibilities under the conditions set out in Article 10.2 of the RPT Procedure;
  • c) ordinary Transactions concluded under conditions equivalent to market or standard terms, without prejudice to the reporting obligations provided for by law;
  • d) transactions with or between ENAV subsidiaries, even jointly, and transactions with ENAV associated companies, provided that other related parties of the Company have no significant interests in the subsidiaries or associated companies involved in the transaction.

A central role in the architecture of the RPT Procedure is played by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, which is required to express to the competent body for approving transactions submitted thereto under the RPT Procedure – the Board of Directors or any other competent delegated body – a reasoned opinion of the Company potential interest in completing the transaction as well as its beneficial nature and substantive fairness of its conditions, based on the information submitted to the CRRPC (if complete) or requested thereby for further information. For the Committee to issue the opinions requested, the RPT Procedure establishes

that it should receive specific flows of information, which in the case of Transactions of Greater Importance include the negotiation stage, during which Committee members can fully participate, make comments and/or request additional information.

In terms of its effectiveness, the required opinion is:

  • non-binding in the case of Transactions of Lesser Importance;
  • binding in the case of Transactions of Greater Importance.

A simplified procedure is provided for where approval is a matter of urgency, in derogation from the procedures governing Transactions of Lesser and Greater Importance, provided that such transactions do not fall under the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, notwithstanding in any case the provision for of a non-binding vote on such transactions expressed ex post by the first subsequent ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company.

The Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Financial Reporting Officer receive complete disclosure on at least a quarterly basis on the execution of Transactions of both Lesser and Greater Importance with related parties. In compliance with the requirements of the Related Parties Regulation, the RPT Procedure also governs the public disclosure of transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV and its subsidiaries.

To support the assessments of the corporate structures in the classification of the relevant cases in the light of the RPT Procedure, ENAV has set up an Advisory Board.

The RPT Procedure is available on the Company website at www.enav.it.

10.2. Guidelines concerning the market abuse regulation and internal dealing procedures

The Company adopts and constantly updates its controls regarding the internal management and external dissemination of documentation and information concerning ENAV and its subsidiaries, with particular reference to the privileged information referred to in Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (the "MAR Regulation") or information that is likely to become such.

The rules and principles contained in the Guidelines for the management of privileged information (the "MAR Guidelines"), are aimed at ensuring compliance with the provisions of applicable market abuse laws and regulations19 and ensuring preservation of the maximum confidentiality of information that already qualifies as privileged information or is otherwise likely to become such information, in order to prevent the selective dissemination of documentation and information concerning ENAV and the Group, such as advance release to certain parties, or delayed, incomplete or otherwise inadequate dissemination.

The MAR Guidelines therefore represent an updated, comprehensive body of rules, governing, among other things, the handling of price sensitive or significant information, the maintenance of the insider register and the register of significant information, the procedure for delaying the dissemination of privileged information and flows of information within the corporate organisation and with subsidiaries in this area.

The MAR Guidelines, which are a fundamental component of the Company ICRMS and an integral part of the overall system for preventing the offences referred to in Legislative Decree 231/2001, are available on the Company website at www.enav.it.

The Internal Dealing Procedure governs the disclosure obligations and the limitations on transactions involving financial instruments issued by the Company, or derivative instruments or

19 The MAR guidelines take account of: (i) the MAR and subsequent delegated and Implementing Regulations; (ii) the applicable provisions of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the Consolidated Law on Finance); and (iii) the recommendations of the CONSOB guidelines for handling privileged information, published on 13 October 2017.

other financial instruments linked thereto, where carried out by relevant persons and persons closely associated therewith.

The Company has also adopted a code of conduct for significant shareholders (the "Internal Dealing Code") relating to transactions involving financial instruments issued by ENAV, or derivative instruments or other financial instruments linked thereto, where carried out by significant shareholders (i.e., those holding at least 10% of the capital of ENAV) and persons closely associated therewith.

The Internal Dealing Procedure and the Internal Dealing Code are available on the Company website at www.enav.it.

The Company carries out periodic training and information activities for the corporate audience on issues of market abuse and the respective sanctions. The training initiative was structured into four modules, highlighting the main focus areas in the field of market abuse, with an explanation of the relevant cases and details of the sanctions laid down under the law, as well as the consequences in terms of disciplinary action and compensation, also taking into account the profiles set out under Legislative Decree 231/2001.

10.3. Organisational Model in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001, Code of Ethics and Supervisory Board

The Organisational Model

In compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 231 of 8 June 2001 ("Decree 231"), which introduced a system of administrative liability into the Italian legal system for companies for certain types of offences committed by their directors, managers or employees in the interest of or for the advantage of the companies themselves, the Company has adopted the organisational, management and control model referred to in Decree 231 (the "Organisational Model").

The ENAV Organisational Model20 in force on the date of this Report, last updated by the Board of Directors Resolution of 15 March 2023, further to an extensive risk and gap analysis, is divided into a general part and a special part, the latter again divided into sections relating to the categories of offence established in Decree 231.

The Code of Ethics

The ENAV Group Code of Ethics ("Code of Ethics")21 governs the rights, tasks and responsibilities that ENAV and the Group companies assume towards the stakeholders with whom they find themselves interacting for the performance of their activities, and is applied to corporate bodies, management, employees, external collaborators, business partners, suppliers and all those who have relations with the Company.

The adoption of certain principles of conduct and ethical standards to be observed in interactions with third parties is part of the Company commitment, including in relation to preventing the offences referred to in Decree 231, and the prevention of corruption and fraud. In that sense, the Code of Ethics forms an integral part of the Organisational Model.

The Code of Ethics adheres to the principles of the "Code of Conduct of Public Employees" referred to in Presidential Decree 62 of 16 April 2013 – intended to ensure compliance with the constitutional tasks of diligence, loyalty, impartiality and exclusive service in the name of the public interest – and recognises the following principles and fundamental values for the affirmation of the Company mission, which the various stakeholders must refer to in order to

20 The general part of the Organisational Model of ENAV – and its subsidiaries – is available on the Company website www.enav.it, as is the Group Code of Ethics.

21 Together with the Organisational Model, the Code of Ethics is available to the public on the Company website www.enav.it in both Italian and English.

foster the good operation, reliability and reputation of the Company: legality, safety in the provision of air navigation services, confidentiality, honesty and fairness, responsibility, equality, integrity, transparency, equity and sustainability.

The Code of Ethics also describes further safeguards - provided for in the applicable internal policies - particularly with reference to the following issues: i) Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), ii) diversity and protection of equal opportunities, iii) protection and promotion of human rights.

The rules of the Code of Ethics form an essential part of employee contractual obligations in accordance with Article 2104 of the Italian Civil Code and the Company assesses – from a disciplinary point of view, in accordance with current legislation – conduct which is contrary to the principles enshrined in the Code of Ethics by applying the sanctions justified based on their varying severity.

The Code of Ethics was most recently updated in 2022 in particular to make explicit ENAV full adherence to a corporate culture based on respect for life and human rights, as well as its commitment to conduct business activities in compliance with national and international regulations, restrictions, provisions and guidelines on national and foreign policy and joint security.

The Supervisory Body

In accordance with Decree 231, the Supervisory Body is tasked with supervising the functioning and compliance with the Organisational Model and the Code of Ethics, as well as updating it with regard to the evolution of the organisational structure or the regulatory context of reference.

The Supervisory Body was appointed by the Board of Directors on 12 May 2022 and its term of office will end with the approval of the financial statements for the 2024 financial year and, in any case, when the new Supervisory Body is appointed.

The Supervisory Body consists of Maurizio Bortolotto, as Chair, and Marina Scandurra and Domenico Gullo, as external members. The foregoing ensures maximum adherence to best practices, considering that the Supervisory Body is in any case supported in its activities by the Internal Audit department. With the support of this department, the Supervisory Board oversees the ongoing updates to the Organisational Model, monitors the effectiveness of the current prevention and control system, as well as the recommended preventive and corrective actions, verifies the adequacy of the crime prevention system, and constantly oversees the training on compliance with Decree 231.

During the Financial Year, ENAV Supervisory Body met 6 times and managed the following activities:

  • examination of the findings of targeted audits and of the planned improvement actions defined and monitoring of progress;
  • examination of the flows of information received based on the internal procedure, which was updated during the year to incorporate the key flows for the prevention of offences;
  • examination of reports received by the Supervisory Body and checks of those concerning issues addressed by Decree 231;
  • preparation of the annual plan of Supervisory Body activities, and the budget request;
  • annual report to the Board of Directors;
  • meetings with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as with the supervisory bodies of the subsidiaries, to exchange information on the internal control and risk management system.

During 2023, all employees of the Company and the Group were delivered training and information on the corporate 231 system through corporate communication channels (newsletter, corporate newspaper, e-learning courses and live sessions). These courses adopted a risk-based approach, with specialised training tailored to the corporate structures, taking into

account the risk of the commission of offences relating to their respective areas of responsibility. The meetings of the Supervisory Body have all been regularly minuted, and the minutes are kept by the Technical Secretary and at the Internal Audit department.

Management System for the Prevention of Corruption

In compliance with the principle of the Global Compact, whereby "companies undertake to combat corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery", the ENAV Group pursues its commitment to fight corruption, in all its forms, whether direct or indirect, applying the principles set out in its Corruption Prevention Management System, which establishes zero tolerance for corruption.

The Management System for the Prevention of Corruption, adopted in accordance with the ISO 37001:2016 international standard, is based on the principle of "Zero Tolerance for Corruption", which commits the Group to the prevention of corruption in all of its forms. In this context, ENAV is basing its work on broader compliance with the anti-corruption rules set out in national and international law and, as such, opposes and does not tolerate in any way bribery, fraudulent behaviour or illicit or irregular conduct in general that may be actively or passively committed by its employees or by third parties such as contractors, advisors, suppliers, commercial partners, agents and other individuals, legal entities and de facto entities that have relations with ENAV or its subsidiaries.

The "Policy for the Prevention of Corruption" and the "Management System Guidelines for Preventing and Combating Corruption", approved by the ENAV Board of Directors in September 2021, after consulting with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, list the activities that are most exposed to the risk of corruption, based on an assessment of the risk associated with the activities carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries, and provide indications regarding the principles for the relative prevention and protection of the Group integrity and reputation, and the sanctions applicable in the event of violation of the relative precepts.

The documents referred to above are part of an articulated internal prescriptive corpus made up of the MOG, Code of Ethics, policies, procedures, guidelines, regulations and provisions of the Management System governing in more detail the individual reference processes and areas, with which ENAV Group staff and business partners must comply.

In December 2023, the annual surveillance audit conducted by the independent certification body DNV to maintain certification according to the ISO 37001:2016 international standard, which ENAV earned in December 2021, was completed successfully. This certification and the associated surveillance checks confirm and bear witness to ENAV commitment to preventing and combating corruption.

Whistleblowing

In order to enable all Group employees and stakeholders to report potential violations of national and European Union regulations that harm the public interest or the integrity of the public administration and/or the entity, ENAV has implemented and constantly updated its own Whistleblowing System.

In compliance with the reference legislation in force at the time, the system is suitable to guarantee the due protection of the whistleblower, ensuring that reports received are analysed in compliance with the principles of confidentiality and privacy (or anonymity), in a structured and transparent manner and within the time limits defined by the law.

During the Financial Year, the Whistleblowing System was updated to incorporate the new provisions introduced by Legislative Decree 24/2023 and the recent ANAC and Confindustria Guidelines on the subject.

In particular, the main updates concerned: i) the revision of the cases subject to whistleblowing; ii) the introduction of specific rules on "verbal" whistleblowing; iii) the introduction of specific rules on "external" whistleblowing to ANAC and public disclosure; iv) the modification of the composition of the Whistleblowing Committee; v) the formalisation of co-ownership contracts

for privacy purposes between ENAV and the individual subsidiaries, in view of the centralisation of whistleblowing management within the Parent Company.

Lastly, with a view to increasing awareness of the corporate population, fostering cultural growth and encouraging the use of the ENAV Group Whistleblowing System, at the end of 2023 - as part of the training project concerning the Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 - a specific training module was developed on the new features introduced with the update of the Whistleblowing Regulation and the associated documents/tools.

11. CHANGES AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE

No further changes occurred after the close of the year.

12. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LETTER OF 14 December 2023 FROM THE CHAIR OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

In a communication dated 14 December 2023, the Corporate Governance Committee made the customary annual letter on the application of the Corporate Governance Code available to the top management of companies listed on the Italian regulated market.

The stated goal of the Letter is to improve the transparency of governance practices with respect to the Code, as well as to encourage increasingly knowledgeable application of the Code, generally promoting the evolution of corporate governance at listed companies.

Attached to the Letter is the Annual Report on the Application of the Code, now in its eleventh edition, which contains the results of the monitoring carried out by the Committee on the basis of the companies' reports on corporate governance and ownership structure for the financial year 2022 (published in 2023); specific Recommendations made in relation to the financial year 2024 are also attached.

The purpose of the Letter, in particular, is to notify listed companies of the results emerging following the observance of the degree of application of the Principles and Recommendations of the Code in light of the monitoring performed, in order to recommend actions and application methods for increasingly effective compliance with the Code's provisions. The letter from the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee was reviewed by ENAV Board of Directors on 30 January 2024, as well as by each of its Committees and the Board of Statutory Auditors. ENAV governance is also in full compliance for the present year with respect to the areas specifically addressed by the Committee as a result of the monitoring carried out, as well as with reference to the Recommendations made for 2024.

In particular, the first of these Recommendations concerns the Business Plan; in this regard, the Committee invites companies to "provide adequate disclosure on the board involvement in reviewing and approving the business plan, as well as in analysing issues that are relevant to longterm value generation".

In this regard, it is worth mentioning first of all that the Company Business Plan for the 2022- 2024 period was approved by resolution of the Board of Directors of 12 May 2022, during its previous term of office. Also during the previous board term of office, with a resolution passed on 20 December 2022, an update to the 2021-2024 Sustainability Plan was also approved, with a view to integrating its content and time horizon with the Business Plan.

In relation to the Business Plan, it should first be noted, in light of the Company Report on corporate governance brought to the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting, that: i) specific induction activities were carried out concerning both the Business Plan and strategic initiatives; ii) in addition to approving the Business Plan, the Board monitored the progress made in implementing the Plan, as well as other strategic plans; iii) the board assessment activities carried out acknowledged the directors' appreciation for the growth in engagement, also specifically with regard to strategic issues and the Business Plan; iv) the Business Plan was one of the topics of greatest interest identified during dialogue with investors.

Thus, full compliance emerges in relation to the adequate disclosure made so far by the Company concerning the engagement of the Board of Directors in relation to the Business Plan.

The above-mentioned aspects addressed by the Committee will also be taken into consideration in the future, in view of the preparation and - subsequently - the approval and monitoring of the Company new Business Plan and its updates.

Another issue covered by the Committee Recommendations relates to pre-meeting information; in this regard, the Committee "while acknowledging the improvements... encourages companies to give adequate justifications – in the corporate governance reports – in case of derogation from the timeliness of pre-board information due to confidentiality reasons, when this derogation is provided in board regulations and/or adopted in practice". With regard to the timeliness of premeeting information, ENAV has always relied on the Articles of Association, which moreover provide for an even longer term than that envisaged by other issuers, in turn, enabling an even more informed decision from the Board of Directors. These safeguards are further strengthened by similar provisions contained in the Board of Directors Regulation, which also allow forms of flexibility so as to reconcile the needs of the business in particular situations.

With regard to pre-meeting information, reported on as every year in the Company Corporate Governance Report, it should be noted that the statutory deadline was always met, except for certain specific situations linked to exceptional cases.

Specifically, exceptions were made with regard to determinations characterised by confidentiality and urgency, such as limited business transactions and organisational changes in top management offices.

In such cases, the disclosure was provided and the reasons for the exemption were presented to the Board. However, the documentation was provided in good time in order to comply with the principle of informed action by the directors.

The board documentation was made available to the Board of Directors through a board room management service based on a highly secure information platform that may be accessed via mobile devices, ensuring full availability of the information needed to correctly fulfil the Board term of office without interruption, while at the same time ensuring traceability and selective access in accordance with confidentiality requirements that are appropriate for the level of responsibility of the directors of a listed company.

Regarding the Guidelines on Optimal Composition, the Committee "while acknowledging the improvements made... recommends that companies clearly indicate and give adequate justification – in the corporate governance report – in case of failure to express guidelines on board quantitative or qualitative composition when the board of directors is renewed, and/or in case of failure to require shareholders submitting a "long" list to provide adequate information about the slate alignment with the expressed guidelines.The Committee also encourages companies to indicate if and how the timing of the publication of the guidance has been deemed appropriate to allow an adequate consideration by shareholders presenting the slates of candidates".

When a new Board of Directors is appointed, ENAV regularly and well in advance makes available to the Shareholders the Board guidelines on its optimal qualitative and quantitative composition, following their approval. Lastly, with a view to the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, called to appoint the new members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors had published its guidelines on 20 February 2023, well in advance of the publication of the meeting notice. Furthermore, in that notice, the Company had invited Shareholders who had submitted a slate with more than half the number of candidates to be elected, to provide adequate information on the compliance of their slate with the Board guidelines. With regard to all of the aspects mentioned above, addressed by the above-mentioned Committee Recommendation on Board guidelines, detailed information was also provided in the Report on Corporate Governance for the financial year 2022 and published in view of the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting.

Such aspects will also need to be taken into account in the future, in view of the appointment of a new Board of Directors, which is, moreover, expected not in the current year, but rather during the approval of the 2025 financial statements.

A further Recommendation for 2024 concerned increased voting rights; on this point, the Committee invited companies "in the board of directors proposals to the shareholders' meeting concerning the introduction of the increased voting rights... to adequately disclose the purpose of

this choice and the expected effects on ownership and control structures and future strategies, providing adequate justification for any failure to disclose these elements".

In this regard, it should be noted that, to date, the Board of Directors has not submitted any proposals to the Shareholders' Meeting regarding the introduction of increased voting rights. Should the Board of Directors intend to make such a proposal in the future, it will be its responsibility to provide adequate disclosure for the benefit of the Shareholders in the sense specified above.
