The Appointed Intermediary will act independently on the market, also in relation to the timing of the transactions and in compliance with the daily price, volume limits and general terms of the programme.

The main features of the First Tranche of the BuyBack Programme are the following:

• Purpose: allow the Company to:
  • i. execute incentive plans or programmes based on financial instruments (stock options, stock grants, performance shares, convertibles, etc.), either free-of-charge or paid-in, in favour of employees and partners;
  • ii. award shares to employees, partners and managers to incentivise and increase retention, and/or attract new professionals;
• Maximum number of shares and total consideration: No. 300,000 ordinary shares (equal to approximately 0.6% of the share capital as of today), for a maximum total consideration of €1,260,000;
• Duration: starting from 9 November 2023 to 20 October 2024, the latter corresponding to the end of the 18-month period starting from the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting (20 April 2023); the First Tranche of the Programme can be priorly terminated, executed partially, suspended or cancelled at any time;
• Minimum and maximum price: the purchases will be executed by the Appointed Intermediary within the limits set out by applicable regulation; in any case, the purchase price cannot diverge

downwards or upwards by more than 20% from the official price recorded by EQUITA Group shares on Euronext Milan the trading day before the purchase transaction;

▪ Market: transactions will be executed on Euronext Milan, STAR segment, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A..

Purchases will be disclosed to the market in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by applicable law and regulation.
