The following "preamble" provides a concise description of the structure of the Offer.
A careful reading of Section A of this Offer Document ("Warnings") and the rest of this Offer Document and, to the extent applicable, the Acceptance Form is recommended for the purposes of a complete assessment of the terms and conditions of the Offer.
The data and information regarding the Issuer and the Ferretti Group contained in this Offer Document are based exclusively on data and information publicly available as of the Date of this Offer Document, including those available on the Issuer's website at www.ferrettigroup.com.
1. Key elements of the Offer
The Offer consists of an all-cash voluntary conditional partial public tender offer, pursuant to article 102 et seq. of the CFA, applicable provisions of the Issuer's Regulation and the HK Takeovers Code, by KKCG Maritime to acquire up to a maximum of 52,132,861 Shares, representing 15.4% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital. The Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Milan and on the HK Stock Exchange.
KKCG Maritime has applied for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 28.7 of the HK Takeovers Code on the condition that the Offer shall remain open for acceptance 28 calendar days starting from the date of commencement of the Acceptance Period, and may not be extended without the Executive's prior consent. As the 28th calendar day starting from the date of commencement of the Acceptance Period (i.e., 12 April 2026) is a Sunday, the Acceptance Period will end on Monday, 13 April 2026 in accordance with Note 3 to the Definitions in the HK Takeovers Code.
The Offer was announced on 19 January 2026 by way of the Offeror's Notice. The entire text of the Offeror's Notice is set out in Section K, Paragraph K.1 of this Offer Document.
On 29 January 2026, KKCG Maritime filed this Offer Document with Consob and the Executive.
KKCG Maritime will be the only entity to become the purchaser of the Issuer's shares tendered under the Offer, and shall bear and assume the obligations, rights and responsibilities of the offeror under the Offer including, inter alia, the obligation to procure the payment of the Consideration.
2. Object of the Offer and Consideration
The Offer is made exclusively in Italy and Hong Kong (save as described under Section F, Paragraph F.4 of this Offer Document) and refers to up to a maximum of 52,132,861 Shares, without par value, representing 15.4% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital.
For further information regarding the Shares subject to the Offer, please refer to Section C, Paragraph C.1 of this Offer Document.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
If the number of Shares tendered to the Offer exceeds 52,132,861 (i.e., the Maximum Number), subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions, the pro-rata method will be applied to the Shares tendered to the Offer, by virtue of which KKCG Maritime will purchase from all Shareholders the same proportion of the Shares tendered by them to the Offer. See Section J of this Offer Document (Allocation Alternatives) for further details.
KKCG Maritime will pay to each Adherent cash consideration equal to Euro 3.50 (equivalent to approximately HKD 31.71)³ (cum dividend) for each Share tendered to the Offer and purchased by KKCG Maritime.
The Consideration is intended to be on a "cum dividend" basis and has therefore been determined on the assumption that the Issuer will not approve or implement any ordinary or extraordinary distribution of dividends drawn from profits or reserves prior to the Payment Date.
The Consideration has been determined based on independent assessments taking into account, among other things, the following elements with reference to the Undisturbed Date and the Last Trading Day:
- the closing price per Share recorded on Euronext Milan on the Undisturbed Date and the Last Trading Day;
- the volume-weighted average of the official prices of the Shares recorded on Euronext Milan during the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month periods up to and including the Undisturbed Date and the Last Trading Day (inclusive); and
- the average of the closing prices of the Shares recorded on the HK Stock Exchange during the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month periods up to and including the Undisturbed Date and the Last Trading Day (inclusive).
In determining the Consideration, KKCG Maritime has not relied upon, nor obtained, any appraisals or opinions prepared by independent experts for the purpose of assessing its fairness.
For further information regarding the methods used to determine the Consideration, the premium embedded in the Consideration and the historical performance of the Shares, please refer to Section E of this Offer Document.
The Offer is subject to the fulfilment (or, if capable of being waived, waiver) each of the Conditions described in Section A, Paragraph A.2 of this Offer Document and is addressed, within the limits specified in Section F, Paragraph F.4 of this Offer Document and without prejudice to the allocation criteria set out in in Section J of this Offer Document, to all Shareholders, on a non-discriminatory basis and on equal terms.
³ For illustrative purposes only, the Consideration of Euro 3.50 corresponds to HKD 31.71 per Share, based on the Reference Exchange Rate.

The Offer is not intended to, nor will it be capable of, resulting in the delisting of the Shares from Euronext Milan or the HK Stock Exchange. In light of the nature of the Offer as a voluntary, partial and conditional tender offer, the Offer cannot, under any circumstances, result in KKCG Maritime holding an aggregate interest exceeding 90% of the Issuer's share capital. Consequently, the conditions for the exercise of the squeeze-out right pursuant to Article 111 of the CFA, nor those for the fulfilment of the purchase obligation pursuant to Article 108, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the CFA, are not met and will not be met.
3. Maximum Disbursement of the Offer and confirmation of financial resources
In the event of full acceptance of the Offer by the holders of Shares representing the Maximum Number, the overall maximum consideration of the Offer (i.e., the Maximum Disbursement) is equal to Euro 182,465,013.50⁴, calculated on the basis of (i) the Consideration of Euro 3.50⁵ (cum dividend) per Share, and (ii) the Maximum Number of Shares (i.e., 52,132,861 Shares).
The financial resources required to meet the Maximum Disbursement will be provided to KKCG Maritime by companies of the KKCG Group, through capital contributions and/or shareholder loans, whether interest-bearing or interest-free. KKCG Maritime reserves the right (depending also on the results of the Offer) to finance part of the Maximum Disbursement through bank financing. In this regard, it should be noted that, as of the Date of this Offer Document, preliminary contacts are underway with banking institutions for the purposes of evaluating such financing.
Somerley, being the financial adviser to KKCG Maritime in Hong Kong, is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to KKCG Maritime to satisfy the payment in full of the Maximum Disbursement.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has sufficient financial resources to meet the Maximum Disbursement.
For more details, including in relation to the modalities to finance the Offer, please refer to Section E, and Section G, Paragraph G.1 of this Offer Document.
4. Reasons for the Offer and overview of the future plans
The decision to launch the Offer reflects KKCG Maritime's intention to increase its investment and thereby strengthen its existing stake in Ferretti, raising the holding of KKCG Maritime from the current 14.5% to up to 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital.
KKCG Maritime intends to acquire a non-controlling stake in the Issuer by acquiring up to 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital through a partial offer (i.e., the Offer). KKCG Maritime does not intend to launch a full public tender offer aimed at delisting. This approach will enable KKCG Maritime to obtain voting rights and exercise rights as a significant Shareholder while ensuring that the Shares remain listed on Euronext Milan and the HK Stock Exchange following completion of the Offer. The public float of the Issuer will continue to remain above
4 The Maximum Disbursement corresponds to HKD 1,653,370,226.83, based on the Reference Exchange Rate.
5 The Consideration of Euro 3.50 per Share corresponds to HKD 31.71 per Share, based on the Reference Exchange Rate.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
the 25% threshold as required under the HK Listing Rules upon completion of the Offer. KKCG Maritime intends to exercise its rights as a significant Shareholder at the next annual general meeting of Ferretti, which will resolve upon, among other matters, the approval of the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the appointment of the Issuer's board of directors. In this context, KKCG Maritime plans to submit a list of candidates which it proposes be appointed as directors (i.e., a slate) and views the Offer as a fair and transparent means to increase its shareholding and corresponding voting rights, thereby in turn increasing the likelihood of electing the candidates to be proposed by it as director nominees. The timeline of the Offer is therefore planned to achieve these objectives by enabling KKCG Maritime to participate and vote at such annual general meeting with the additional stake acquired through the Offer.
KKCG Maritime believes that, through its representation on the Issuer's board of directors – and thanks to the experience and proven investment track-record of the KKCG Group – it may contribute to the further development and growth of Ferretti in the context of current global sector dynamics. This would include organic growth of the current core luxury yachting business lines internationally, through Ferretti's iconic brands, as well as bringing KKCG Group's deep experience in identifying and delivering successful M&A to support business development and platform expansion. In addition to core business, KKCG Maritime believes that there are other potential paths for the Ferretti Group's long term strategic development. For example, the current growth in the strategic defence sector in Europe presents an opportunity to expand and accelerate Ferretti's business in this market segment. KKCG Maritime believes that a more efficient governance structure, and in particular, a composition of the board of directors comprising individuals of high credibility and accomplished backgrounds, would enable the Issuer's management to respond more rapidly and effectively to any business opportunities that may arise, without any impact on Ferretti's business operational continuity or scope of activities. The experience gained by the KKCG Group as an investor in high-growth platforms demonstrates the opportunities that can be captured through the presence of KKCG Maritime representatives on the Issuer's board of directors.
Based on the 2026 financial calendar published by the Issuer, the expected date of the annual general meeting to be held to approve, among other things, the renewal of the corporate bodies is 14 May 2026. In light of the foregoing, the deadline for the submission of slates for the renewal of the corporate bodies expires on 19 April 2026. As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime, in line with the objectives of the Offer described above, intends to submit a slate comprising the maximum number of candidates that may be appointed to the Issuer's board of directors (i.e., a majority slate), including one or more executive directors.⁶ Pursuant to article 19 of the Issuer's by-laws, the board of directors is composed of between 7 (seven) and 11 (eleven) directors.
⁶ As disclosed in the Issuer's prospectus for the listing on Euronext Milan dated 21 June 2023, in connection with the admission to listing and trading of its Shares on Euronext Milan, the Issuer adopted certain corporate governance policies required for Italian listed companies and made certain changes to its by-laws, including to provide for a slate voting mechanism for the election of its board of directors. The upcoming annual general meeting will be the first occasion since the adoption of such governance policies and such changes to the by-laws on which there will be a renewal of the Issuer's board of directors through the slate-voting mechanism. As such, this is the first occasion on which KKCG Maritime will be able to present a slate for the appointment of the board of directors.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
It should be noted that neither KKCG Maritime nor any Parties Acting in Concert with it are party to any commitments and/or are engaged in any negotiations or discussions regarding undertakings by other Shareholders to vote in favour of the slate for the renewal of the corporate bodies of the Issuer that will be submitted by KKCG Maritime.
KKCG Maritime reserves the right to undertake, in accordance with applicable law, any action deemed useful, including any potential solicitation of proxies, aimed at securing the broadest possible support from the other Shareholders in favour of the slate that will be submitted by KKCG Maritime for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors.
On 22 January 2026, FIH, the Issuer's largest Shareholder, holding 38.98% of the Issuer's share capital based on the disclosure made by FIH pursuant to Rule 22 of the HK Takeovers Code on 28 February 2026, stated, by means of a press release, that it intends, among other things, to appoint the majority of the members of the Issuer's board of directors.
KKCG Maritime's ability to implement its strategy with respect to the Issuer will depend, to a significant extent, on the outcome of the Shareholders' vote for the renewal of the board of directors at the Issuer's annual general meeting. Should the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime obtain the highest number of votes, all directors to be elected, except for one who will be elected from the slate achieving the second-highest number of votes, will be drawn from such slate in accordance with the Issuer's bylaws. Conversely, should the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime obtain the second-highest number of votes, only one director will be elected from that slate, in accordance with the Issuer's bylaws. In the latter case, KKCG Maritime may not be in a position to influence, with the same level of effectiveness, the decisions of the Issuer's board of directors consistently with its strategy as outlined above.
In light of the above, the likelihood that the majority of the Issuer's board of directors may be drawn from the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime depends both on the results of the Offer and on the voting decisions of the Shareholders other than KKCG Maritime with respect to that slate at the Issuer's annual general meeting.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has not yet selected the candidates to be included in its slate for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors and has not engaged in any discussions with any of the directors of the Issuer aimed at their potential inclusion in such slate.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Note 2: In accordance with Rule 8.4 of the HK Takeovers Code, the Issuer is required to send the Issuer's Notice to the Shareholders no later than 14 days after the Date of this Offer Document, unless the Executive consents to a later date and the Offeror agrees to extend the Closing Date by the number of days in respect of which the delay in the posting of the Issuer's Notice is agreed. Under Italian law, the Issuer's Notice must be published no later than the Trading Day preceding the starting date of the Acceptance Period.
Note 3: Pursuant to article 40 of the Issuers' Regulation, the Acceptance Period is required to start no earlier than the fifth Trading Day after the Date of this Offer Document in cases where the Issuer's Notice is not attached to the Offer Document. Under Italian law, however, it is in any case possible to start the Acceptance Period on a date which is later than the fifth Trading Day after the Date of this Offer Document.
Note 4: Announcements will be made on each day during the Acceptance Period as to the acceptances received on the day and the total Shares tendered to the Offer, as well as the percentage that these quantities represent with respect to the Maximum Number. In addition, progress updates on the status of each of the Conditions will be announced regularly during the Acceptance Period (including, if the Conditions have not been fulfilled or waived earlier, on the last Trading Day before the Closing Date), and an announcement will be made as soon as possible after the fulfilment of each Condition.
Note 5: The Acceptance Period has been agreed upon with Borsa Italiana and the Executive. In this regard, KKCG Maritime has applied for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 15.1 of the HK Takeovers Code such that the Acceptance Period will start later than the date of despatch of the Offer Document and will close later than 4:00 p.m. (HKT) on the Closing Date.
Note 6: The Offer is subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions by the end of the Acceptance Period. Pursuant to applicable law and subject to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, if even one of the Conditions is not fulfilled and (if capable of being waived) KKCG Maritime does not exercise its right to waive it by the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offer will not be completed and will lapse. If the Offer lapses, any Shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer will be returned to the Adherents by the Trading Day following the date on which the ineffectiveness of the Offer is first communicated: the Shares will thus be made available again to the Adherents (through their Depositary Intermediaries or otherwise, as applicable), without any charge or expense to them.
Note 7: In accordance with normal practice in Italy, there will be two announcements about the results of the Offer, i.e., the Notice of the Preliminary Results of the Offer, which is published shortly after the closing of the Acceptance Period based on acceptance information relayed to the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances by Appointed Intermediaries during the Acceptance Period, and the Notice of the Final Results of the Offer, which is published after all acceptances have been fully reconciled and verified by the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances.. KKCG Maritime has applied for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 19.1 of the HK Takeovers Code such that it may publish the Notice on the Preliminary Results of the Offer and the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer in accordance with applicable requirements in Italy rather than publishing a single closing announcement pursuant to Rule 19.1 of the HK Takeovers Code and as to the timing of such announcements.
The procedures for acceptance and settlement of the Offer are set out in Section F of this Offer Document and, to the extent applicable, the Acceptance Form.
Acceptance of the Offer must take place by a Shareholder signing and delivering the Acceptance Form, duly completed in all its parts, either:
(a) together with simultaneous deposit of the relevant Shares, with any of the Appointed Intermediaries at any time from 8:30 a.m. (CET) (3:30 p.m. (HKT)) on 16 March 2026 and by no later than 5:30 p.m. (CET) (11.30 p.m. (HKT)) on 13 April 2026, being the Closing Date, or such later time and/or date as KKCG Maritime may decide and announce (with the consent of the Executive); or
16
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
(b) with any of the Depositary Intermediaries and (to the extent not already so deposited) depositing the Shares indicated therein with the same Depositary Intermediary, provided that such delivery and deposit are made in time to allow the Depositary Intermediary to notify an Appointed Intermediary of the acceptances received by it by no later than 5:30 p.m. (CET) (11.30 p.m. (HKT) on the Closing Date.
With regard to Shareholders whose Shares are deposited in CCASS, the following should be noted:
- where the Shares are deposited in CCASS via their licensed securities dealer/broker/custodian bank, the Shareholders must instruct their licensed securities dealer/broker/custodian bank to authorise HKSCC to accept the Offer on their behalf after the date of commencement of the Acceptance Period but on or before the deadline set by HKSCC or any other date as may be determined by HKSCC. In order to meet this deadline, the Shareholders should check with their licensed securities dealer/broker/custodian bank for the timing on processing their instruction, and submit such instruction to their licensed securities dealer/broker/custodian bank as required by them; or
- where the Shares are deposited in CCASS in their investor participant account with CCASS, the Shareholders must authorise their instruction to accept the Offer via the CCASS phone system or CCASS internet system after the date of commencement of the Acceptance Period but no later than one HK Business Day before the deadline set by HKSCC or any other date as may be determined by HKSCC.
Any persons, including (without limitation) custodians, nominees and trustees, who would, or otherwise intend to, forward this Offer Document and/or the Acceptance Form to any jurisdiction outside Italy or Hong Kong should read Section F, Paragraph F.4 of this Offer Document before taking any action. Parties who wish to tender their Shares in the Offer bear the exclusive responsibility to comply with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and therefore, prior to tendering their Shares in the Offer, those parties are required to verify their possible existence and applicability, consulting their own advisers.
Acceptance of the Offer by persons resident in countries or regions other than Italy and Hong Kong may be subject to specific obligations or restrictions provided for under the applicable legal or regulatory provisions of such countries or regions. It is the sole responsibility of the recipients of the Offer to comply with any such provisions and, therefore, prior to accepting the Offer, to ascertain their existence and applicability by consulting their own legal and other professional advisers. KKCG Maritime accepts no liability for any breach by any person of the above-mentioned restrictions.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
A WARNINGS
A.1 Regulations applicable to the Offer and competent regulatory authorities
The Issuer is a company incorporated under the laws of Italy, having its registered office in Italy, the Shares of which are listed and traded on Euronext Milan and on the Main Board of the HK Stock Exchange.
Following the listing of the Shares on the HK Stock Exchange on 31 March 2022, the Issuer is subject to the laws, regulations and rules applicable to companies with shares listed on that market, including the provisions on public offers contained in the HK Takeovers Code.
In light of this, the Offer consists of a voluntary conditional partial public tender offer launched (i) pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 102, paragraph 1, of the CFA and the implementing provisions contained in the Issuers' Regulation, and (ii) in accordance with the HK Takeovers Code (in particular, Rule 28 thereof).
In Hong Kong, in accordance with the requirements of Hong Kong law, the Offer is made by Somerley, in its capacity as financial adviser to, and on behalf of, KKCG Maritime.
As the Offer is also governed by Hong Kong regulations, this Offer Document is available in Italian and English, and a Chinese translation is also available.
A.2 Conditions to the Offer
The effectiveness of the Offer is subject to the fulfilment (or, if capable of being waived, waiver) of each of the following Conditions: $^{8}$
(i) consent from the Executive in respect of the Offer pursuant to Rule 28.1 of the HK Takeovers Code having been obtained and such consent remaining in full force and effect;
(ii) the authorisation pursuant to the Golden Power Legislation – either expressly or following the expiry of the term for tacit approval under the Golden Power Legislation – having been granted by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers, without imposing any condition, undertaking, obligation or requirement in relation to the acquisition by KKCG Maritime of the Shares pursuant to the Offer;
(iii) the competent antitrust authority in Austria having approved the transaction proposed by KKCG Maritime under the Offer without imposing any condition, undertaking, obligation or requirement in relation to the acquisition by KKCG Maritime of the Shares pursuant to the Offer; and
$^{8}$ Contrary to the typical procedure for takeover offers made under the HK Takeovers Code, under article 102 of the CFA, it is not possible for the despatch of an offer document to be made conditional on, and therefore occur only after, the fulfilment of certain pre-conditions, except in situations where certain approvals by sector-specific authorities are required for the offer. As the Offer is not subject to any such approvals by sector-specific authorities, the Offer (and accordingly despatch of this Offer Document) cannot be subject to any “pre-conditions” and accordingly the approvals set out in Conditions (i), (ii) and (iii) are structured as conditions to the Offer.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
(iv) the Issuer and/or its directly or indirectly controlled subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies not having resolved and in any event not having carried out, nor undertaken to carry out, acts or transactions that may conflict with the achievement of the objectives of the Offer pursuant to Article 104 of the CFA and/or Rule 4 of the HK Takeovers Code, even if such acts or transactions have been authorised by an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Issuer or are decided and implemented independently by an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting and/or by the management bodies of the Issuer's subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies.
Subject to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, with respect to the Conditions referred to in paragraphs (ii) and (iii), such Conditions shall be deemed not satisfied if the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers and/or the competent antitrust authority in Austria, in the exercise of their respective powers, impose prohibitions on the implementation of the transaction or otherwise impose requirements, conditions or limitations that KKCG Maritime considers burdensome or not consistent with the objectives of the Offer.
As of the Date of this Offer Document:
(a) the Condition relating to the consent by the Executive in respect of the Offer, set out in paragraph (i) above, has been satisfied, as the Executive granted such consent on 27 February 2026; and
(b) the Condition relating to the approval by the competent Austrian antitrust authority, set out in paragraph (iii) above, has been satisfied, as such antitrust authority approved the transaction, without imposing any condition, undertaking, obligation or requirement, on 17 February 2026.
KKCG Maritime reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the Conditions set out in paragraphs (ii) and (iv) above, in compliance with applicable law and the HK Takeovers Code, in each case by giving notice in accordance with applicable Italian law and the HK Takeovers Code.
Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, KKCG Maritime may invoke the non-fulfilment of one or more of the Conditions (other than the Condition in limb (i) above) as a basis not to proceed with the completion of the Offer only if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke the non-fulfilment of any such Condition are of material significance to KKCG Maritime in the context of the Offer.
The Offer is not conditional upon reaching a minimum acceptance threshold. As such, subject to the fulfilment (or, if capable of being waived, waiver) of each of the Conditions, KKCG Maritime will acquire all the Shares tendered to the Offer up to the Maximum Number.
KKCG Maritime will announce the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of each of the Conditions or, if such Conditions have not been met and are capable of being waived, any waiver thereof, by giving notice as provided under Article 36 of the Issuers' Regulation and in accordance with the HK Takeovers Code as soon as practicable following the fulfilment, non-fulfilment or waiver of the relevant Condition. In addition, progress updates on the status of each of the Conditions will be announced regularly during the Acceptance Period (including, if the Conditions have not been fulfilled or waived earlier, on the last Trading Day before the Closing Date).
19
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Issuer should note that the Offer is subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions by the end of the Acceptance Period. As of the Date of this Offer Document, none of the Conditions (other than the Conditions set out in paragraphs (i) and (iii) above) has been fulfilled.
Pursuant to applicable law and subject to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, if even one of the Conditions is not fulfilled and (if capable of being waived) KKCG Maritime does not exercise its right to waive it by the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offer will not be completed and will lapse. In such case, any Shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer will be returned to the Adherents by the Trading Day following the date on which the ineffectiveness of the Offer is first communicated: the Shares will thus be made available again to the Adherents (through their Depositary Intermediaries or otherwise, as applicable), without any charge or expense to them.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Issuer are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their professional advisers.
For further information regarding the communication of the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the Conditions, reference should be made to Section F, Paragraph F.8 of this Offer Document.
A.3 Allocation of the Shares at the end of the Acceptance Period
Since the Offer is a voluntary conditional partial public tender offer, subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions, if the number of Shares tendered to the Offer exceeds 52,132,861 (i.e., the Maximum Number), the pro-rata method will be applied to the tendered Shares, by virtue of which KKCG Maritime will purchase from all Adherents the same proportion of the Shares tendered by them during the Acceptance Period to the Offer.
KKCG Maritime shall take up from each Adherent, without distinction, such number of Shares determined by multiplying the number of Shares tendered during the Acceptance Period by the Allocation Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. The total number of tendered Shares to be taken up by KKCG Maritime from each Adherent (i.e., the Allocation Ratio) will be determined by the total number of Shares tendered for acceptance in accordance with the following formula:
$$
A / B \times C
$$
where:
A = the Maximum Number (i.e., 52,132,861 Shares);
B = the total number of Shares validly tendered for acceptance by all Adherents under the Offer; and
C = the number of Shares tendered for acceptance by the relevant individual Shareholder under the Offer.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
It is possible that, if a Shareholder tenders all his/her/its Shares for acceptance under the Offer, not all of such Shares will be taken up. Fractions of Shares will not be taken up under the Offer and, accordingly, the number of Shares that KKCG Maritime will take up from each Adherent in accordance with the above formula will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in any event, the total number of Shares to be taken up by KKCG Maritime will not exceed the maximum of 52,132,861 Shares.
By 7:29 a.m. (CET) (1:29 p.m. (HKT)) on the first Trading Day after the Closing Date, KKCG Maritime will announce the provisional results of the Offer and will calculate any provisional Allocation Ratio through the Notice on the Preliminary Results of the Offer. By 7:29 a.m. (CET) (1:29 p.m. (HKT)) on the Trading Day preceding the Payment Date, KKCG Maritime will announce the final results of the Offer and the final Allocation Ratio through the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer.
The Shares not taken up by KKCG Maritime as a result of the allocation criteria set out above will be returned to the tendering Shareholders through the Depositary Intermediaries by the Trading Day after the day of the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer, i.e., by no later than the Payment Date.
It should also be noted that implementation of any allocation will not allow Adherents to withdraw their acceptances to the Offer.
If, instead, at the end of the Acceptance Period the number of Shares tendered to the Offer is lower than the Maximum Number (and the Conditions have been satisfied or, if capable of being waived, waived), KKCG Maritime will purchase all the Shares tendered into the Offer, without carrying out the allocation procedure previously described.
For further information regarding the allocation of the Shares at the end of the Acceptance Period, reference should be made to Section J of this Offer Document.

A.7 Reasons for the Offer and future programs of KKCG Maritime relating to the Issuer
The decision to launch the Offer reflects KKCG Maritime's intention to increase its investment and thereby strengthen its existing stake in Ferretti, raising the holding of KKCG Maritime from the current 14.5% to up to 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital.
KKCG Maritime intends to acquire a non-controlling stake in the Issuer by acquiring up to 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital through a partial offer (i.e., the Offer). KKCG Maritime does not intend to launch a full public tender offer aimed at delisting. This approach will enable KKCG Maritime to obtain voting rights and exercise rights as a significant Shareholder while ensuring that the Shares remain listed on Euronext Milan and the HK Stock Exchange following completion of the Offer. The public float of the Issuer will continue to remain above the 25% threshold as required under the HK Listing Rules upon completion of the Offer. KKCG Maritime intends to exercise its rights as a significant Shareholder at the next annual general meeting of Ferretti, which will resolve upon, among other matters, the approval of the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the appointment of the Issuer's board of directors. In this context, KKCG Maritime plans to submit a list of candidates which it proposes be appointed as directors (i.e., a slate) and views the Offer as a fair and transparent means to increase its shareholding and corresponding voting rights, thereby in turn increasing the likelihood of electing the candidates to be proposed by it as director nominees. The timeline of the Offer is therefore planned to achieve these objectives by enabling KKCG Maritime to participate and vote at such annual general meeting with the additional stake acquired through the Offer.
KKCG Maritime believes that, through its representation on the Issuer's board of directors – and thanks to the experience and proven investment track-record of the KKCG Group – it may contribute to the further development and growth of Ferretti in the context of current global sector dynamics. This would include organic growth of the current core luxury yachting business lines internationally, through Ferretti's iconic brands, as well as bringing KKCG Group's deep experience in identifying and delivering successful M&A to support business development and platform expansion. In addition to core business, KKCG Maritime believes that there are other potential paths for the Ferretti Group's long term strategic development. For example, the current growth in the strategic defence sector in Europe presents an opportunity to expand and accelerate Ferretti's business in this market segment. KKCG Maritime believes that a more efficient governance structure, and in particular, a composition of the board of directors comprising individuals of high credibility and accomplished backgrounds, would enable the Issuer's management to respond more rapidly and effectively to any business opportunities that may arise, without any impact on Ferretti's business operational continuity or scope of activities. The experience gained by the KKCG Group as an investor in high-growth platforms demonstrates the opportunities that can be captured through the presence of KKCG Maritime representatives on the Issuer's board of directors.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Based on the 2026 financial calendar published by the Issuer, the expected date of the Issuer's annual general meeting to be held to approve, among other things, the renewal of the corporate bodies is 14 May 2026. In light of the foregoing, the deadline for the submission of slates for the renewal of the corporate bodies expires on 19 April 2026. As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime, in line with the objectives of the Offer described above, intends to submit a slate comprising the maximum number of candidates that may be appointed to the Issuer's board of directors (i.e., a majority slate), including one or more executive directors. Pursuant to article 19 of the Issuer's by-laws, the board of directors is composed of between 7 (seven) and 11 (eleven) directors.
It should be noted that neither KKCG Maritime nor any Parties Acting in Concert with it are party to any commitments and/or are engaged in any negotiations or discussions regarding undertakings by other Shareholders to vote in favour of the slate for the renewal of the corporate bodies of the Issuer that will be submitted by KKCG Maritime.
KKCG Maritime reserves the right to undertake, in accordance with applicable law, any action deemed useful, including any potential solicitation of proxies, aimed at securing the broadest possible support from the other Shareholders in favour of the slate that will be submitted by KKCG Maritime for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors.
On 22 January 2026, FIH, the Issuer's largest Shareholder, holding $38.98\%$ of the Issuer's share capital based on the disclosure made by FIH pursuant to Rule 22 of the HK Takeovers Code on 28 February 2026, stated, by means of a press release, that it intends, among other things, to appoint the majority of the members of the Issuer's board of directors.
KKCG Maritime's ability to implement its strategy with respect to the Issuer will depend, to a significant extent, on the outcome of the Shareholders' vote for the renewal of the board of directors at the Issuer's annual general meeting. Should the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime obtain the highest number of votes, all directors to be elected, except for one who will be elected from the slate achieving the second-highest number of votes, will be drawn from such slate in accordance with the Issuer's bylaws. Conversely, should the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime obtain the second-highest number of votes, only one director will be elected from that slate, in accordance with the Issuer's bylaws. In the latter case, KKCG Maritime may not be in a position to influence, with the same level of effectiveness, the decisions of the Issuer's board of directors consistently with its strategy as outlined above.
In light of the above, the likelihood that the majority of the Issuer's board of directors may be drawn from the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime depends both on the results of the Offer and on the voting decisions of the other Shareholders with respect to that slate at the Issuer's annual general meeting.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has not yet selected the candidates to be included in its slate for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors and has not engaged in any discussions with any of the directors of the Issuer aimed at their potential inclusion in such slate.

For the sake of clarity, the potential scenarios for the holders of Shares in connection with the Offer are set out below.
(A) Tender their Shares to the Offer
If they tender their Shares and the Conditions are satisfied (or, if capable of waiver, waived by KKCG Maritime), the Adherents will receive the Consideration, equal to Euro 3.50¹⁰, for each Share tendered to the Offer and purchased by KKCG Maritime, subject to any allocation (as described in Section A, Paragraph A.3, and Section J of this Offer Document) that may apply if the number of Shares tendered exceeds the Maximum Number.

Pursuant to the applicable provisions and subject to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, if even one of the Conditions is not fulfilled and (if capable of being waived) KKCG Maritime does not exercise its right to waive it by the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offer will not be completed and will lapse. In such case, the Shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer will be returned to the Adherents by the Trading Day following the date on which the ineffectiveness of the Offer is first communicated, through the Depositary Intermediaries (where applicable), without any charge or expense to the Adherents (see Section A, Paragraph A.1 of this Offer Document).

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
(B) Not to tender their Shares to the Offer
In the event of non-acceptance of the Offer by the relevant holders of the Shares during the Acceptance Period, Shareholders will remain holders of all their Shares, which will continue to be traded on Euronext Milan and the HK Stock Exchange.
After close of the Offer, depending on the total number of tendered Shares taken up by KKCG Maritime, KKCG Maritime will disclose, within the terms and in the manner required under Italian and Hong Kong regulations, any crossing of thresholds relevant for the purposes of the applicable disclosure regime relating to significant shareholdings. In this regard, it should be noted that, under Italian law, the relevant thresholds are 15%, 20% and 25% of the Issuer's share capital, and the related disclosure obligations must be fulfilled promptly and, in any event, within four Trading Days from the Payment Date; under Hong Kong law, the relevant threshold is 5%, and thereafter whenever there is a change in the percentage figure of the shareholding that results in the interest crossing over a whole percentage number which is above 5% (e.g., 6%, 7%, etc.), and the related disclosure obligations must be fulfilled within three HK Business Days after the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which the number of Shares to be taken up is determined).
Under the HK Takeovers Code, KKCG Maritime and the Persons Acting in Concert with it may not acquire Shares outside the Offer during the period commencing on the Date of the Offeror's Notice and ending on the Closing Date.
A.14 Rights of the Adherents
Except in the event of application of the allocation criteria described in detail in Section J of this Offer Document, subject to the fulfilment (or, if capable of being waived, waiver) of each of the Conditions, the Shares tendered in the Offer during the Acceptance Period shall be transferred to KKCG Maritime on the Payment Date.
Subject to any right of Adherents to withdraw that may be required under Rule 19.2 of the HK Takeovers Code¹¹, during the period between the date on which Shares are tendered under the Offer and the Payment Date, the Shares tendered under the Offer will be bounded to serve the Offer (i.e., acceptances will be irrevocable) and the Adherents will be able to exercise all the patrimonial and administrative rights pertaining to the Shares tendered under the Offer (including voting rights and the right to receive dividends the record date for which falls before the Payment Date), but will not be able to sell, in whole or in part, or in any case to perform acts of disposal (including pledges or other encumbrances or restrictions) concerning, the Shares tendered under the Offer.
For further information, please refer to Section F, Paragraph F.2 of this Offer Document.
¹¹ Under Rule 19.2 of the HK Takeovers Code, if an offeror is not able to comply with any of the requirements of Rule 19 of the HK Takeovers Code regarding the timing and contents of the announcement of the results of an offer, the Executive may require that acceptors be granted a right of withdrawal, on terms acceptable to the Executive, until the requirements of that Rule 19 can be met.

A.16 Risks related to international geopolitical tensions
The international geopolitical context is marked by ongoing tensions and uncertainties (purely by way of example, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the political-military tensions between China and the United States), which may give rise to risks associated with market and exchange-rate volatility, as well as commercial tensions, with potential effects on commodity prices, financing conditions, supply chains and the regulatory framework. In such a scenario, the occurrence of events capable of affecting, to an extent not fully foreseeable, the performance of the Shares, the consequent outcome of the Offer and/or the economic, equity and financial conditions of the Issuer and its prospects, compared with the information presented in the Ferretti Group's financial data as at 31 December 2025 cannot be ruled out.

With respect to related party transactions, KKCG Maritime has had access to a loan facility of up to Euro 30 million granted by a group company. As of 31 December 2025, approximately Euro 17.7 million was outstanding under the facility, which was due to mature in February 2026 and was subsequently extended to February 2027. KKCG Maritime's credit position increased by approximately Euro 183 million between 31 December 2025 and the Date of the Offeror's Notice, as a result of two financing transactions aimed at enabling Somerley (in its capacity of financial adviser of KKCG Maritime in Hong Kong) to confirm to the SFC the coverage of the Maximum Disbursement in accordance with Hong Kong regulations: (i) a Euro 130 million drawdown under a short term intragroup loan due 14 January 2027, and (ii) a Euro 53 million drawdown under the intragroup loan facility due February 2027 which was increased for up to Euro 85 million. No additional changes are anticipated. There is no intercompany guarantee, pledge or negative pledge in place in relation to the intragroup loan nor the intragroup loan facility described above. The existing intragroup financing arrangements do not include any covenants, guarantees or pledges relating to the Shares. As these are intragroup financings used, as previously indicated, to meet the obligations relating to the coverage of the Maximum Disbursement required under Hong Kong regulations, subject to the Executive's consent, such financings may be repaid, in whole or in part, following the issuance of the Guarantee of Exact Fulfilment, which will in turn result in the release of the funds deriving from such intergroup financing which were subject to escrow (held with UniCredit) as of the Date of the Offeror's Notice. For further information on the financing of the Offer and on the Guarantee of Exact Fulfilment, reference is made to Section G, Paragraphs G.1.1 and G.1.2, respectively, of this Offer Document.
As regards third party financing, KKCG Maritime benefits from a fully drawn Euro 65 million margin loan facility provided by a bank with a contractual maturity date of 17 December 2027. All Shares held by KKCG Maritime (and, if applicable, of any other member of the KKCG Group, noting that no such person other than KKCG Maritime currently holds any Shares) are subject to a negative pledge, in addition to other covenants applicable to KKCG Maritime that are customary in financing transactions of this nature. In addition, the majority of Shares held by KKCG Maritime are pledged as collateral in favour of the lender under the margin loan, while the remainder is held free of any pledge. There are no related guarantees. As of the Date of this Offer Document, a total of 44,992,166 Shares (representing 13.3% of the Issuer's share capital) have been pledged under the existing margin loan.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
The Offer is expected to increase the Offeror's fixed assets through the acquisition of additional Shares, strengthening its asset base and overall economic position.
In particular, the financial resources required to meet the Maximum Disbursement will be provided to KKCG Maritime by companies within the KKCG Group, through capital contributions and/or shareholder loans, whether interest-bearing or interest-free. KKCG Maritime reserves the right (depending also on the results of the Offer) to finance part of the Maximum Disbursement through bank financing. In this regard, it should be noted that, as of the Date of this Offer Document, preliminary contacts are underway with banking institutions for the purposes of obtaining such financing. In light of the foregoing, in any event, the financing of the Maximum Disbursement will not result in any further increase in KKCG Maritime's indebtedness relating to the coverage of the Maximum Disbursement, compared to the situation existing as of the Date of the Offeror's Notice, amounting to a total of Euro 183 million.

E UNIT PRICE PER SHARE OFFERED FOR THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND ITS JUSTIFICATION
E.1 Indication of unit price per Share and its determination
KKCG Maritime will pay to each Adherent to the Offer cash consideration equal to Euro 3.50 (for illustrative purposes only, equivalent to approximately HKD 31.71) (cum dividend) for each Share tendered to the Offer and purchased by KKCG Maritime, subject to the allocation modalities mentioned in Section J of this Offer Document. The Consideration will be paid in Euro to all Adherents to the Offer.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, based on public information available to KKCG Maritime, the Issuer does not have outstanding dividends which have been declared by the Issuer but not yet paid.
The Consideration is intended to be on a "cum dividend" basis and has therefore been determined on the assumption that the Issuer will not approve or implement any ordinary or extraordinary distribution of dividends drawn from profits or reserves prior to the Payment Date. Accordingly, the Consideration will be automatically reduced by the per-Share amount of any ordinary and/or extraordinary dividend, drawn from profits or reserves, or any other distribution resolved upon by the competent corporate bodies of the Issuer prior to the Payment Date and, unless specified or the context requires otherwise, any reference in the Offeror's Notice, this Offer Document or any other announcement or document issued in relation to the Offer to the Consideration will be deemed to be a reference to the Consideration as so reduced. Any reduction will only apply to those Shares which are the subject to the Offer in respect of which KKCG Maritime will not be entitled to the relevant dividend or other distribution.
The Consideration is net of KKCG Maritime's share of any stamp duties, commissions and fees, which remain the responsibility of KKCG Maritime. The substitute tax on capital gains, where due, will be borne by those who accept the Offer.
For Shareholders in Hong Kong who accept the Offer, the seller's ad valorem stamp duty arising in connection with the acceptance of the Offer amounting to 0.1% of the amount payable in respect of relevant acceptances by the Shareholders, or (if higher) the market value of the Shares as determined by the Collector of Stamp Revenue under the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong), will be deducted from the cash amount payable to the relevant Shareholders who accept the Offer. KKCG Maritime will arrange for payment of the seller's ad valorem stamp duty on behalf of Shareholders tendering to the Offer and pay the buyer's ad valorem stamp duty in connection with Shares purchased under the Offer.
Fractions of a cent will not be paid and the amount of cash consideration payable to a Shareholder who accepts the Offer will be rounded up to the nearest cent.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
(1) All companies in the sample close their financial year on 31 December with the exception of Malibu Boats Inc, which closes on 30 June; for comparability, figures have been adjusted to a December year-end. The market capitalization has been calculated based on the closing prices on the Last Trading Day, i.e., 16 January 2026.
(2) "n.m." indicates non-meaningful multiples, either greater than 40x or negative.
(2) Adjusted metrics as reported in the sample companies' consolidated financial statements.
(4) Market capitalization computed based on the Consideration.
For the selected companies, Enterprise Value (EV) was calculated based on their market capitalization as of the Last Trading Day, i.e., 16 January 2026, (taking into account the number of outstanding Shares net of treasury shares). The items included in the calculation of Enterprise Value (i.e., net financial position, severance-related liabilities, minority interests, and investments in associated companies) refer to the latest available financial data prior to the Last Trading Day (30 June 2025 for Bénéteau SA and 30 September 2025 for Malibu Boats Inc., Sanlorenzo S.p.A. and The Italian Sea Group S.p.A.). The financial metrics (EBITDA, EBIT, Net Income) refer to the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023.
These multiples have been prepared on the basis of historical data and publicly available information, as well as subjective parameters and assumptions defined according to commonly applied methodologies. The multiples are presented for informational and illustrative purposes only and are purely indicative, without any claim of completeness. The data relate to companies considered potentially comparable and, in some cases, only partially comparable; therefore, such data may prove irrelevant or non-representative when considered in relation to the specific economic, equity, and financial situation of the Issuer or the relevant economic context.
These multiples have been prepared solely for inclusion in this Offer Document and in compliance with the requirements governing its content. Accordingly, they may differ from those used in other, even similar, transactions. The existence of different market conditions could also, in good faith, lead to analyses and assessments that are wholly or partly different from those presented herein. In particular, it should be noted that the additional multiples (i.e., P/Cash Flow and P/BV) are included in this Offer Document in compliance with the requirements governing its content but are not considered relevant for valuation purposes, as they have limited applicability to companies operating in the Issuer's sector. This circumstance is confirmed by equity research analysts covering the Issuer's sector, who generally do not report these metrics for companies belonging to the same sector. For this reason, such multiples have not been included in the table above.
With regard to the EV/EBITDA 2023 multiple, Ferretti reports 6.7x, exceeding both the sample average of 4.5x and median of 4.3x. For 2024, Ferretti reports an EV/EBITDA multiple of 5.9x, which is above both the sample average of 5.8x and median of 5.6x.
With regard to the EV/EBIT 2023 multiple, Ferretti reports 10.6x, significantly exceeding both the sample average of 5.3x and median of 4.7x, and remaining above the level of all the selected peers. For 2024, Ferretti reports an EV/EBIT multiple of 9.1x, remaining above both the sample average of 6.8x and median of 6.6x.
79
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
As for the P/E 2023 ratio, Ferretti ranks among the yachting players with one of the highest multiple, reporting 14.3x, exceeding both the sample average of 12.1x and the median of 9.6x. In 2024, Ferretti's multiple is significantly above both the average and the median of its peers.
The differences between Ferretti's valuation multiples and those of the selected peer group are primarily attributable to both differences in the respective businesses (geographic footprint, business model, client base and competitive positioning) as well as differences in the methodologies used to calculate the relevant adjusted financial performance indicators.
While the selected peer group companies are listed on different listing venues, it is considered fair to compare Ferretti to these peer group companies as (i) 50% of these peer group companies are listed in Milan as is Ferretti; and (ii) comparability across other key factors such as scale, business profile etc. are more relevant than listing venue when assessing where the sector is trading.

F PROCEDURES AND TERMS OF ACCEPTING THE OFFER, DATES AND PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENT OF THE PRICE AND REPAYMENT OF SHARES
F.1 Procedures and terms for accepting the Offer
F.1.1 Acceptance Period
The Acceptance Period has been agreed upon with Borsa Italiana in accordance with Article 40, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulation, and with the Executive, in accordance with the HK Takeovers Code.
The Acceptance Period shall start at 8:30 a.m. (CET) (3:30 p.m. (HKT)) on 16 March 2026 and shall end at 5:30 p.m. (CET) (11:30 p.m. (HKT)) on 13 April 2026, both inclusive. Acceptance of the Offer may take place on each Trading Day included in the Acceptance Period between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. (CET) (between 3:30 p.m. and 00:30 a.m. (on the next day) (HKT) for the period before 29 March 2026; between 2:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. (HKT) for the period commencing on 29 March 2026 after the switch to Central European Summer Time).
Without prejudice to any extensions of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable regulations and with the consent of the Executive, 13 April 2026 will therefore represent the closing date of the Offer (i.e., the Closing Date).[27]
KKCG Maritime reserves the right, subject to any applicable law or regulatory requirements and the requirements of the Executive, to amend the Consideration or other terms of the Offer. KKCG Maritime will notify any amendments to the Offer, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Should KKCG Maritime exercise its right to amend the Offer on the last Trading Day available according to applicable law in respect of the Offer (i.e., the date falling 14 calendar days before the Closing Date), a supplemental offer document and new Acceptance Form will be despatched to the Shareholders. The revised Offer will be kept open for at least 14 calendar days following the date on which the supplemental offer document is posted.
The Shares may be tendered to the Offer during the Acceptance Period. If, in the course of the Offer, KKCG Maritime revises the terms of the Offer, all Shareholders, whether they have accepted the Offer or not at that time, will be entitled to the revised terms.
[27] KKCG Maritime has applied for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 28.7 of the HK Takeovers Code on the condition that the Offer shall remain open for acceptance for 28 calendar days starting from the date of commencement of the Acceptance Period, and may not be extended without the Executive's prior consent. As the 28th calendar day starting from the date of commencement of the Acceptance Period (i.e., 12 April 2026) is a Sunday, the Acceptance Period will end on Monday, 13 April 2026 in accordance with Note 3 to the Definitions in the HK Takeovers Code.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Acceptances to the Offer transmitted during the Acceptance Period are irrevocable and shall not be capable of being withdrawn, except where revocation is granted by the regulations in force for accepting competing offers pursuant to Article 44 of the Issuers' Regulation or is required under Rule 19.2 of the HK Takeovers Code²⁸. Further details are set out below.
F.1.2 General Procedures applicable to acceptances
Acceptance of the Offer must take place by a Shareholder signing and delivering the Acceptance Form, duly completed in all its parts, either:
(a) together with simultaneous deposit of the relevant Shares, with any of the Appointed Intermediaries at any time from 8:30 a.m. (CET) (3:30 p.m. (HKT)) on 16 March 2026 and by no later than 5:30 p.m. (CET) (11.30 p.m. (HKT)) on 13 April 2026, being the Closing Date, or such later time and/or date as KKCG Maritime may decide and announce (with the consent of the Executive); or
(b) with any of the Depositary Intermediaries and (to the extent not already so deposited) depositing the Shares indicated therein with the same Depositary Intermediary, provided that such delivery and deposit are made in time to allow the Depositary Intermediary to notify an Appointed Intermediary of the acceptances received by it by no later than 5:30 p.m. (CET) (11.30 p.m. (HKT) on the Closing Date.
Whilst Shareholders may deliver Acceptance Forms to their respective Depositary Intermediaries at any time after publication of the Offer Document, those Depositary Intermediaries can only notify Appointed Intermediaries of the acceptances received during the Acceptance Period. Similarly, if any Acceptance Form is delivered to an Appointed Intermediary before commencement of the Acceptance Period, the Appointed Intermediary will refuse to accept that Acceptance Form and the relevant Shareholder (or its Depositary Intermediary) will need to deliver a new valid Acceptance Form during the Acceptance Period.
The Shares are subject to the dematerialisation of securities provided for in Articles 83-bis et seq. of the CFA, as well as pursuant to the joint regulation of Consob and the Bank of Italy on post-trading (Provvedimento unico sul post-trading di Consob e di Banca d'Italia) dated 13 August 2018 as subsequently amended and supplemented.
Those who intend to accept the Offer in respect of their Shares must be holders of dematerialized Shares, duly registered in a securities account with one of the Depositary Intermediaries and must apply to their respective Depositary Intermediaries for appropriate instructions regarding acceptance of the Offer.
²⁸ Under Rule 19.2 of the HK Takeovers Code, if an offeror is not able to comply with any of the requirements of Rule 19 of the HK Takeovers Code regarding the timing and contents of the announcement of the results of an offer, the Executive may require that acceptors be granted a right of withdrawal, on terms acceptable to the Executive, until the requirements of that Rule 19 can be met. KKCG Maritime has applied for, and the Executive has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 19.1 of the HK Takeovers Code.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
The execution of the Acceptance Form will constitute an irrevocable instruction given by the holder of the Shares to the Appointed Intermediaries or to the relevant Depositary Intermediary with whom the Shares are held in a securities account, to transfer such Shares to an account held with the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances in favour of KKCG Maritime, either directly or via accounts held with the Appointed Intermediaries in favour of KKCG Maritime (as applicable).
The risk that the Depositary Intermediaries will not notify the Appointed Intermediaries of acceptances received by them by 5:30 p.m. (CET) (11.30 p.m. (HKT) on the Closing Date, or will not transfer the Shares tendered to the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances or an Appointed Intermediary (as applicable), remains the sole responsibility of the Adherents.
Upon acceptance of the Offer through execution of the Acceptance Form and deposit of the Shares, the Appointed Intermediaries and any Depositary Intermediary shall be mandated to carry out all necessary and preparatory formalities for the transfer of the Shares to KKCG Maritime, with related costs borne by KKCG Maritime (except that, in the case of Shareholders in Hong Kong who accept the Offer, the seller's ad valorem stamp duty arising in connection with the acceptance of the Offer amounting to 0.1% of the amount payable in respect of relevant acceptances by the Adherents, or (if higher) the market value of the Shares as determined by the Collector of Stamp Revenue under the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong) will be deducted from the cash amount payable to the relevant Shareholders who accept the Offer).
The Shares tendered to the Offer shall be free from restrictions and encumbrances of any kind and nature, whether real or not, mandatory or personal, and shall be freely transferable to KKCG Maritime.
For the entire period during which the Shares are bound to the Offer and, therefore, from the date of tender to the Offer until the Payment Date, without prejudice to any extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable law and with the consent of the Executive, the Adherents will be entitled to exercise the economic rights (by way of example, pre-emptive rights) and administrative rights (by way of example, voting rights) relating to the Shares they own, which will remain in their ownership.
Acceptances of the Offer by minors or persons under guardianship or trusteeship, executed by the person exercising parental authority, guardianship or trusteeship in accordance with applicable law, if not accompanied by authorization from the competent court, will be accepted subject to reservation and will be counted for purposes of determining the percentage of acceptances of the Offer only if the authorization is received by the Depositary Intermediaries or the Appointed Intermediaries within the Acceptance Period. Payment will be made only upon obtaining the required authorization.
If the Shares intended to be tendered to the Offer are subject to a usufruct right or a pledge, the acceptance of the Offer may only be effected through the execution of the Acceptance Form by the bare owner and the usufructuary, or by the owner and the pledgee, as the case may be (or by only one of such persons, provided that they hold a suitable power of attorney to execute the Acceptance Form also in the name and on behalf of the other).
85
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
If the Shares intended to be tendered to the Offer are subject to attachment or seizure, the acceptance of the Offer may only be effected through the execution of the Acceptance Form by the owner and all enforcing and intervening creditors (or by only one of such persons, provided that they hold a suitable power of attorney to execute the Acceptance Form also in the name and on behalf of the others). Such acceptance, if not accompanied by the authorisation of the court or of the competent authority for the attachment or seizure procedure, will be accepted with reservation and will be counted for the purposes of determining the acceptance percentage of the Offer only if the authorisation is received by the Depositary Intermediaries or the Appointed Intermediaries within the Acceptance Period. Payment of the Consideration will in any event be made only once such authorisation has been obtained.
If the Shares intended to be tendered to the Offer are registered in the name of a deceased person whose succession has not yet been settled, the acceptance of the Offer may only be effected through the execution of the Acceptance Form by the heirs or legatees (as applicable). Such acceptance, if not accompanied by a specific declaration attesting to the fulfilment of the tax obligations relating to the succession, will be accepted with reservation and will be counted for the purposes of determining the acceptance percentage of the Offer only if the declaration is received by the Depositary Intermediaries or the Appointed Intermediaries within the Acceptance Period. Payment of the Consideration will in any event be made only after receipt of such declaration and will be limited to the portion due to the legatees or heirs (as applicable) who have executed the Acceptance Form.
Only those Shares that are, at the time of acceptance of the Offer, registered and available in a securities account of the Adherent opened with a Depositary Intermediary (or Appointed Intermediary), can be tendered to the Offer. In particular, the Shares acquired on the market may be tendered to the Offer only following settlement of such acquisitions as part of the settlement system.
If, during the Acceptance Period, the number of Shares tendered in the Offer exceeds the Maximum Number, subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions, the Shares tendered will be subject to allocation on a 'pro-rata' basis, whereby KKCG Maritime will purchase from all shareholders who have tendered their Shares during the Acceptance Period the same proportion of the Shares they have tendered.
The Shares resulting in excess following the Allocation will be made available again to the Adherents through the Depositary Intermediaries by the Trading Day following the publication of the Notice of the Final Results of the Offer, which will also disclose the final Allocation Ratio, i.e., by no later than the Payment Date. It should also be noted that the implementation of any Allocation will not allow accepting Shareholders to withdraw their acceptance.

In the event of such amendment, a supplemental document and new Acceptance Form will be despatched to the Shareholders. Any revised Offer will be kept open for at least 14 calendar days following the date on which the revised offer document is posted.

(iv) The right of acceptance of the Offer is personal to the Shareholders and is not capable of being assigned or renounced in favour of others or otherwise transferred by the Shareholders.
(v) Subject to (a) the terms of the Offer as set out in this Offer Document; (b) the provisions of the CFA, Issuers' Regulation and HK Takeovers Code; and (c) any requirements of Consob or the Executive, KKCG Maritime, should the number of Shares tendered to the Offer exceed the Maximum Number, shall determine the calculation of the number of Shares to be taken up under the Offer from each accepting Shareholder, the Consideration to be paid therefor, whether an acceptance tendered fully complies with the terms of the Offer and all other questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including the time of receipt) of an acceptance (provided that this is determined consistently with the requirement of the HK Takeovers Code or otherwise with the Executive's consent). In the absence of manifest error, such a determination by KKCG Maritime shall be conclusive.

During the period between the date on which Shares are tendered under the Offer and the Payment Date, no interest for the Consideration shall be due by KKCG Maritime.
On the Payment Date, all the Shares tendered in the Offer (or the relevant portion thereof) will be transferred to KKCG Maritime's securities deposit account. Accordingly, as from the Payment Date, the Shareholders tendering in the Offer will no longer be able to exercise any economic or administrative rights relating to the Shares tendered in and purchased by KKCG Maritime pursuant to the Offer.
F.3 Communications relating to the progress and result of the Offer

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
KKCG Maritime will announce the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of each of the Conditions or, if such Conditions have not been met and are capable of being waived, any waiver thereof, by giving notice as provided under Article 36 of the Issuers' Regulation and in accordance with the HK Takeovers Code as soon as practicable following the fulfilment, non-fulfilment or waiver of the relevant Condition. In addition, progress updates on the status of each of the Conditions will be announced regularly during the Acceptance Period (including, if the Conditions have not been fulfilled or waived earlier, on the last Trading Day before the Closing Date).
The preliminary results of the Offer will be announced by KKCG Maritime by 7:29 a.m. (CET) (1:29 p.m. (HKT)) on the first Trading Day following the Closing Date, through the publication of the Notice on the Preliminary Results of the Offer.
By 7:29 a.m. (CET) (1:29 p.m. (HKT)) on the Trading Day preceding the Payment Date, KKCG Maritime will announce the final results of the Offer and the final Allocation Ratio through the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer.
Each of the Notice on the Preliminary Results of the Offer and the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer will (among other things):
(i) state whether the Offer has been revised or has expired or has become or been declared unconditional in all respects;
(ii) state the total number of Shares and rights over Shares: (a) for which acceptances of the Offer have been received; (b) held, controlled or directed by the Offeror and Parties Acting in Concert with it before the Date of the Offeror's Notice; and (c) acquired or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror during the period commencing on the Date of the Offeror's Notice and ending on the Closing Date;
(iii) include details of any relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the HK Takeovers Code) in the Issuer which KKCG Maritime or any Parties Acting in Concert with it have borrowed or lent, save for any borrowed Shares which have been either on-lent or sold; and
(iv) specify the percentages of the relevant classes of Share capital of the Issuer and the percentages of voting rights of the Issuer represented by these numbers.
As required under the HK Takeovers Code and the HK Listing Rules, all announcements in relation to the Offer in respect of which the Executive and the HK Stock Exchange have confirmed that they have no further comments thereon will be published on the website of the HK Stock Exchange.
F.4 Markets where the Offer is being launched
The Offer is made on a non-discriminatory basis and on equal terms, to all Shareholders.
The Offer is launched exclusively in Italy and in Hong Kong, since the Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Milan, a regulated market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana, and on the HK Stock Exchange.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
In Hong Kong, in accordance with the requirements of Hong Kong law, the Offer is made by Somerley, in its capacity as financial adviser to, and on behalf of, KKCG Maritime.
The making of the Offer to persons who are not resident in Hong Kong or Italy may be affected by limitations under the applicable laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Acceptances to the Offer made in violation of these limitations will not be considered valid or effective.
The Offer is extended to the United States of America in compliance with Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "U.S. Securities Exchange Act"), subject to the applicable exemptions set forth in Rule 14d-1(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act.
The Offer is made for the securities of a company incorporated in Italy and is subject to Italian and Hong Kong disclosure and other procedural requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Offer is made in accordance with the requirements of the CFA, the SFO, the HK Takeovers Code and, to the extent the Offer is made in the United States, it is made pursuant to the applicable US tender offer rules or certain available exemptions or exceptions therefrom. Accordingly, the Offer is subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to payment and settlement procedures and timing, which may be different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law.
The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a US holder of the Shares may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each holder of the Shares is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the Offer.
It may be difficult for US holders of the Shares to enforce their rights and any claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since KKCG Maritime and the Issuer are located in countries other than the United States, and some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. US holders of the Shares may not be able to bring a claim against a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for any violations of the securities laws of the United States. Further, it may be difficult for US holders of the Shares to effect service of process within the United States upon KKCG Maritime or the Issuer or their respective officers or directors or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any securities commission or other regulatory authority in any State of the United States has approved or declined to approve the Offer or the Offer Document, passed upon the fairness or merits of the Offer or provided an opinion as to the accuracy or completeness of this Offer Document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
F.5 Payment Date
If the Offer is completed, payment of the Consideration, and the transfer of ownership of the tendered Shares to KKCG Maritime (or the relevant portion thereof, as the case may be), will take place on the earlier of the 5th (fifth) Trading Day and the 7th (seventh) HK Business Day following the Closing Date, i.e., subject to any extensions of the Acceptance Period that may occur in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and with the consent of the Executive, on 20 April 2026 (i.e., the Payment Date).
On the Payment Date, the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances will transfer the total Shares tendered to the Offer (or the relevant portion thereof) to a securities deposit account in KKCG Maritime's name.
During the period between the date on which Shares are tendered under the Offer and the Payment Date, no interest for the Consideration shall be due by KKCG Maritime.
Settlement of the Consideration to which each Adherent is entitled under the Offer will be implemented in full in accordance with the terms of the Offer (save, in the case of Adherents in Hong Kong, for the deduction of the amount payable in respect of seller's ad valorem stamp duty) without regard to any lien, right of set-off, counterclaim, or other analogous rights to which the Offeror may otherwise be, or claim to be, entitled against such accepting Shareholders.
F.6 Procedures for payment of the Consideration
Subject to the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional and provided that valid Acceptance Forms are complete and in good order in all respects and have been received by the Depositary Intermediaries or the Appointed Intermediaries (as applicable) before the end of the Acceptance Period, the payment of the Consideration (in respect of the Shares tendered by Adherents in Hong Kong under the Offer, less seller's ad valorem stamp duty) will be made by KKCG Maritime in cash on the Payment Date, through the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptance, to the Appointed Intermediaries, who will transfer the funds to the Depositary Intermediaries for crediting the accounts of their respective clients, in accordance with the instructions provided by the Adherents through the Acceptance Form.
KKCG Maritime's obligation to pay the Consideration under the Offer will be deemed fulfilled when the relevant amounts have been transferred to the Appointed Intermediaries. The risk that the Appointed Intermediaries or Depositary Intermediaries do not transfer such amounts to the entitled parties or delay such transfer remains the sole responsibility of the Adherents to the Offer.
The Shares resulting in excess following the Allocation will be made available again to the Adherents through the Depositary Intermediaries on the Trading Day following the publication of the Notice of the Final Results of the Offer, which will also disclose the final Allocation Ratio, i.e., by the Payment Date.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
F.7 Indication of the regulatory laws of the contracts drawn up between the Offeror and the owners of the financial instruments of the Issuer, and competent jurisdiction
In relation to the acceptance of the Offer, the governing law is Italian law and the competent jurisdiction is the ordinary Italian jurisdiction.
F.8 Procedures and terms for repayment of the Shares in the event of inefficacy of the Offer
Shareholders and potential investors of the Issuer should note that the Offer is subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions by the end of the Acceptance Period. As of the Date of this Offer Document, none of the Conditions (other than the Conditions set out in paragraphs (i) and (iii) in Section A, Paragraph A.2 of this Offer Document) has been fulfilled.
Pursuant to Article 41, paragraph 6 of the Issuers' Regulation, KKCG Maritime will give notice of the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the Conditions and, in the event that the Conditions, if any, are not satisfied, of any waiver of one or more of those Conditions, in the Notice on the Preliminary Results of the Offer and the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer.
Subject to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, if even one of the Conditions is not fulfilled and (if capable of being waived) KKCG Maritime does not exercise its right to waive it by the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offer will not be completed and will lapse.
In such case, any Shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer will be returned to the Adherents by the Trading Day following the date on which the ineffectiveness of the Offer is first communicated: the Shares will thus be made available again to the Adherents (through their Depositary Intermediaries or otherwise), without any charge or expense to them.

To guarantee the fulfilment of KKCG Maritime's obligation to pay the Maximum Disbursement, on 26 February 2026, the Guarantor of Exact Fulfilment issued in favour of KKCG Maritime the Guarantee of Exact Fulfilment pursuant to Art. 37-bis of the Issuer's Regulations, whereby the Guarantor of Exact Fulfilment has undertaken – irrevocably, unconditionally and as a guarantee of the fulfilment of KKCG Maritime's payment obligations in respect of the Consideration under the Offer – to make available to the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances, upon the written request of the Intermediary Responsible for Coordinating the Collection of the Acceptances and of Somerley, all amounts due by KKCG Maritime as Consideration for the Shares to be purchased by it pursuant to the Offer up to a maximum amount equal to the Maximum Disbursement.
It should be noted that Somerley acts as financial adviser to KKCG Maritime in Hong Kong in connection with the Offer and, accordingly, has certain obligations under the HK Takeovers Code to confirm that KKCG Maritime can and will continue to be able to implement the Offer in full, including having sufficient financial resources available to it to satisfy the payment in full of the Maximum Disbursement.

G.2 Reasons for the transaction and future plans related to the Issuer
G.2.1 Reasons for the Offer
The decision to launch the Offer reflects KKCG Maritime's intention to increase its investment and thereby strengthen its existing stake in Ferretti, raising the holding of KKCG Maritime from the current 14.5% to up to 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital.
KKCG Maritime intends to acquire a non-controlling stake in the Issuer by acquiring up to 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital through a partial offer (i.e., the Offer). KKCG Maritime does not intend to launch a full public tender offer aimed at delisting. This approach will enable KKCG Maritime to obtain voting rights and exercise rights as a significant Shareholder while ensuring that the Shares remain listed on Euronext Milan and the HK Stock Exchange following completion of the Offer. The public float of the Issuer will continue to remain above the 25% threshold as required under the HK Listing Rules upon completion of the Offer. KKCG Maritime intends to exercise its rights as a significant Shareholder at the next annual general meeting of Ferretti, which will resolve upon, among other matters, the approval of the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the appointment of the Issuer's board of directors. In this context, KKCG Maritime plans to submit a list of candidates which it proposes be appointed as directors (i.e., a slate) and views the Offer as a fair and transparent means to increase its shareholding and corresponding voting rights, thereby in turn increasing the likelihood of electing the candidates to be proposed by it as director nominees. The timeline of the Offer is therefore planned to achieve these objectives by enabling KKCG Maritime to participate and vote at such annual general meeting with the additional stake acquired through the Offer.
KKCG Maritime believes that, through its representation on the Issuer's board of directors – and thanks to the experience and proven investment track-record of the KKCG Group – it may contribute to the further development and growth of Ferretti in the context of current global sector dynamics. This would include organic growth of the current core luxury yachting business lines internationally, through Ferretti's iconic brands, as well as bringing KKCG Group's deep experience in identifying and delivering successful M&A to support business development and platform expansion. In addition to core business, KKCG Maritime believes that there are other potential paths for the Ferretti Group's long term strategic development. For example, the current growth in the strategic defence sector in Europe presents an opportunity to expand and accelerate Ferretti's business in this market segment. KKCG Maritime believes that a more efficient governance structure, and in particular, a composition of the board of directors comprising individuals of high credibility and accomplished backgrounds, would enable the Issuer's management to respond more rapidly and effectively to any business opportunities that may arise, without any impact on Ferretti's business operational continuity or scope of activities. The experience gained by the KKCG Group as an investor in high-growth platforms demonstrates the opportunities that can be captured through the presence of KKCG Maritime representatives on the Issuer's board of directors.
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Based on the 2026 financial calendar published by the Issuer, the expected date of the Issuer's annual general meeting to be held to approve, among other things, the renewal of the corporate bodies is 14 May 2026. In light of the foregoing, the deadline for the submission of slates for the renewal of the corporate bodies expires on 19 April 2026. As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime, in line with the objectives of the Offer described above, intends to submit a slate comprising the maximum number of candidates that may be appointed to the Issuer's board of directors (i.e., a majority slate), including one or more executive directors. Pursuant to article 19 of the Issuer's by-laws, the board of directors is composed of between 7 (seven) and 11 (eleven) directors.
It should be noted that neither KKCG Maritime nor any Parties Acting in Concert with it are party to any commitments and/or are engaged in any negotiations or discussions regarding undertakings by other Shareholders to vote in favour of the slate for the renewal of the corporate bodies of the Issuer that will be submitted by KKCG Maritime.
KKCG Maritime reserves the right to undertake, in accordance with applicable law, any action deemed useful, including any potential solicitation of proxies, aimed at securing the broadest possible support from the other Shareholders in favour of the slate that will be submitted by KKCG Maritime for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors.
On 22 January 2026, FIH, the Issuer's largest Shareholder, holding $38.98\%$ of the Issuer's share capital based on the disclosure made by FIH pursuant to Rule 22 of the HK Takeovers Code on 28 February 2026, stated, by means of a press release, that it intends, among other things, to appoint the majority of the members of the Issuer's board of directors.
KKCG Maritime's ability to implement its strategy with respect to the Issuer will depend, to a significant extent, on the outcome of the Shareholders' vote for the renewal of the board of directors at the Issuer's annual general meeting. Should the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime obtain the highest number of votes, all directors to be elected, except for one who will be elected from the slate achieving the second-highest number of votes, will be drawn from such slate in accordance with the Issuer's bylaws. Conversely, should the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime obtain the second-highest number of votes, only one director will be elected from that slate, in accordance with the Issuer's bylaws. In the latter case, KKCG Maritime may not be in a position to influence, with the same level of effectiveness, the decisions of the Issuer's board of directors consistently with its strategy as outlined above.
In light of the above, the likelihood that the majority of the Issuer's board of directors may be drawn from the slate submitted by KKCG Maritime depends both on the results of the Offer and on the voting decisions of the other Shareholders with respect to that slate at the Issuer's annual general meeting.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has not yet selected the candidates to be included in its slate for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors and has not engaged in any discussions with any of the directors of the Issuer aimed at their potential inclusion in such slate.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
G.2.2 Future programs of the Offeror in relation to the Issuer
With the completion of the Offer, KKCG Maritime intends that the Issuer will continue its existing business and the employment of employees of the Ferretti Group will continue without material changes.
Without prejudice to KKCG Maritime’s long-term strategy to enhance shareholder value, the Offer offers the Shareholders an opportunity to immediately monetize – at least in part – their investment at a significant premium to recent average market prices of the Shares in a market environment currently characterized by volatility and uncertainty and in the context of low stock liquidity.
The future programs identified by KKCG Maritime in relation to the Issuer in the event of the completion of the Offer are described below.
G.2.2.1 Asset management programmes and any approved business plans
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has not developed any asset management programmes or business plans concerning Ferretti to be implemented in the event of a successful outcome of the Offer.
G.2.2.2 Investments and future sources of financing.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, given the nature of the Offer, KKCG Maritime has not developed any plans regarding the investments to be implemented in the event of a successful outcome of the Offer or the related forms of financing.
G.2.2.3 Transactions carried out as a result of the Offer
As of the Date of this Offer Document, given the nature of the Offer, KKCG Maritime has not taken any decision regarding potential transactions following the Offer.
G.2.2.4 Expected changes in the composition of corporate bodies
KKCG Group, as the Issuer’s second-largest Shareholder, has on several occasions in the past proposed to the Issuer to be represented on the board of directors; however, such proposals were not pursued.
KKCG Maritime intends to exercise its rights as a significant Shareholder at the next annual general meeting of Ferretti, which will resolve upon, among other matters, the approval of the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the appointment of the Issuer’s board of directors. In this context, KKCG Maritime plans to submit a list of candidates which it proposes be appointed as directors (i.e., a slate) and views the Offer as a fair and transparent means to increase its shareholding and corresponding voting rights, thereby in turn increasing the likelihood of electing the candidates to be proposed by it as director nominees. The timeline of the Offer is therefore planned to achieve these objectives by enabling KKCG Maritime to participate and vote at such annual general meeting with the additional stake acquired through the Offer. KKCG Maritime, as a significant Shareholder at the next annual general meeting of Ferretti, may also consider submitting a slate for the board of statutory auditors.
97
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
KKCG Maritime believes that, through the submission of a slate of candidates for the renewal of the board of directors composed of individuals of high credibility and accomplished backgrounds, it can contribute to improving the Issuer's corporate governance framework, including with a view to fostering greater cooperation with the management to the benefit of value creation for all stakeholders.
KKCG Maritime also believes that the Issuer's corporate governance could be further enhanced through the adoption of an appropriate remuneration policy for the management, including long-term incentive plans aligned with international best practices applicable to listed companies.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has not yet selected the candidates to be included in its slate for the renewal of the Issuer's board of directors and has not engaged in any discussions with any of the directors of the Issuer aimed at their potential inclusion in such slate.
G.2.25 Modifications of the articles of association
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime has not identified any specific amendment or change to be made to the Issuer's current by-laws.
In the event of the successful completion of the Offer and in light of the outcome of the Shareholders' vote for the renewal of the corporate bodies at the Issuer's annual general meeting scheduled for 14 May 2026, KKCG Maritime will consider whether, in view of future renewals of the corporate bodies, to propose an amendment to the rules of the by-laws governing the appointment of the board of directors, aimed at ensuring broader participation of minority shareholders in the board, in line with the best practices adopted by many listed companies. In particular, and by way of example, KKCG Maritime reserves the right to consider proposing by-law amendments intended to allow the appointment of three directors from so-called minority slates, using the quotient system so as to provide for broader shareholder representation on the board of directors through proportional mechanisms already adopted by many Italian listed companies.
G.3 Free float restoration
The Offer is a voluntary conditional public partial tender offer launched pursuant to Article 102 et seq. of the CFA, for up to a maximum of 52,132,861 Shares, representing 15.4% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-up share capital, and, therefore, is neither intended to nor will it result in the delisting of the Shares from Euronext Milan and the Main Board of the HK Stock Exchange.
Given the nature and scope of the Offer, the conditions for the application of the mandatory purchase obligation under Article 108, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the CFA and/or the squeeze-out right under Article 111 of the CFA do not apply.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
J ALLOCATION ALTERNATIVES
Shareholders may accept the Offer in respect of some or all of the Shares held by them.
Since the Offer is a voluntary conditional partial public tender offer, subject to the fulfilment or (if capable of being waived) waiver of the Conditions, if the number of Shares tendered to the Offer exceeds 52,132,861 (i.e., the Maximum Number), the tendered Shares will be allocated according to the pro-rata method, by virtue of which KKCG Maritime will purchase from all Adherents the same proportion of the Shares tendered by them to the Offer.
KKCG Maritime shall take up from each Adherent, without distinction, such number of Shares determined by multiplying the number of Shares tendered during the Acceptance Period by the Allocation Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. The total number of tendered Shares to be taken up by KKCG Maritime from each Adherent (i.e., the Allocation Ratio) will be determined by the total number of tendered Shares for acceptance in accordance with the following formula:
$$
A / B \times C
$$
where:
A = the Maximum Number (i.e., 52,132,861 Shares);
B = the total number of Shares validly tendered for acceptance by all Adherents under the Offer; and
C = the number of Shares tendered for acceptance by the relevant individual Shareholder under the Offer.
It is possible that, if a Shareholder tenders all his/her/its Shares for acceptance under the Offer, not all of such Shares will be taken up. Fractions of Shares will not be taken up under the Offer and, accordingly, the number of Shares that KKCG Maritime will take up from each Adherent in accordance with the above formula will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in any event, the total number of Shares to be taken up by KKCG Maritime will not exceed the maximum of 52,132,861 Shares.
By 7:29 a.m. (CET) (1:29 p.m. (HKT)) on the first Trading Day after the Closing Date, KKCG Maritime will announce the provisional results of the Offer and will calculate any provisional Allocation Ratio through the Notice on the Preliminary Results of the Offer. By 7:29 a.m. (CET) (1:29 p.m. (HKT)) on the Trading Day preceding the Payment Date, KKCG Maritime will announce the final results of the Offer and the final Allocation Ratio through the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer.
The Shares not taken up by KKCG Maritime as a result of the allocation criteria set out above will be returned to the tendering Shareholders through the Depositary Intermediaries by the Trading Day after the day of the Notice on the Final Results of the Offer, which will also disclose the final Allocation Ratio.
101
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
It should also be noted that implementation of any allocation will not allow Adherents to withdraw their acceptances to the Offer.
If, instead, at the end of the Acceptance Period the number of Shares tendered to the Offer is lower than the Maximum Number (and the Conditions have been satisfied or, if capable of being waived, waived), KKCG Maritime will purchase all the Shares tendered into the Offer, without carrying out the allocation procedure previously described.
As of the Date of this Offer Document, KKCG Maritime holds 49,030,027 Shares, corresponding to 14.5% of the Issuer's share capital.
Having clarified the allocation mechanism, an example of the application of the allocation mechanism described above is set out below, purely by way of illustration and without limitation.
In the event that KKCG Maritime were to receive acceptances for 289,452,627 Shares, corresponding to all the Shares issued by the Issuer as of the Date of this Offer Document net of the 49,030,027 Shares already held by the Offeror, the Allocation Ratio would be equal to 18%. The table below illustrates, purely by way of example and without limitation, certain possible scenarios for the application of the allocation procedure described above, calculated on the basis of a different number of Shares tendered in each scenario.

2. CATEGORY AND QUANTITY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SUBJECT TO THE OFFER
2.1 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SUBJECT TO THE OFFER
The Offer is addressed, on a non-discriminatory basis and on equal terms, to all the Shareholders and refers to up to 52,132,861 Shares, without par value, representing 15.4% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital.
If the number of the Shares tendered to the Offer exceeds 52,132,861 (i.e., the Maximum Number), the pro-rata method will be applied to the tendered Shares, by virtue of which KKCG Maritime will purchase from all Shareholders the same proportion of the Shares tendered by them to the Offer.
The total number of Shares to be taken up by KKCG Maritime from each accepting Shareholder will be determined by the total number of Shares tendered for acceptance in accordance with the following formula:
$$
A / B \times C
$$
where:
A = the Maximum Number (i.e., 52,132,861 Shares);
B = the total number of Shares validly tendered for acceptance by all Shareholders under the Offer; and
C = the number of Shares tendered for acceptance by the relevant individual Shareholder under the Offer.
It is possible that, if a Shareholder tenders all his/her/its Shares for acceptance under the Offer, not all of such Shares will be taken up. Fractions of Shares will not be taken up under the Offer and, accordingly, the number of Shares that KKCG Maritime will take up from each Shareholder in accordance with the above formula will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in any event, the total number of Shares to be taken up by KKCG Maritime will not exceed 52,132,861 Shares. For further details on the modalities of allocation, please refer to the Offer Document.
The Shares tendered to the Offer must be free from restrictions and encumbrances of any kind and nature - real, mandatory and/or personal - as well as freely transferrable to KKCG Maritime and with all the rights (including voting rights) attaching to them on the Payment Date (i.e., regular entitlement or godimento regolare).
109
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
The Offer does not concern any financial instruments other than the Shares.
In the event of full acceptance of the Offer, KKCG Maritime will hold 101,162,888 Shares, without par value, representing 29.9% of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-up share capital.⁴
The Offer is not intended to result in the acquisition by KKCG Maritime (either alone or together with parties acting in concert with it) of a shareholding equal to or exceeding the 30% threshold referred to in Article 106, paragraph 1, of the CFA and in Rule 26.1 of the HK Takeovers Code.
The Offeror will make an application to the Executive to obtain a waiver from the requirement under Rule 28.7 of the HK Takeovers Code in connection with the making of an Offer for a maximum number (rather than a precise number) of Shares.
2.2 MARKETS IN WHICH THE OFFER WILL BE LAUNCHED
The Offer will be launched exclusively in Italy and Hong Kong, since the Shares are listed on Euronext Milan, a regulated market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana, and on the HK Stock Exchange.
The Offer is addressed, under the same conditions, to all the Shareholders.
In Hong Kong, in accordance with the requirements of Hong Kong law, the Offer will be made by Somerley, in its capacity as financial adviser to, and on behalf of, KKCG Maritime.
The making of the Offer to persons who are not resident in Hong Kong or Italy may be affected by the applicable laws of the relevant jurisdictions. In the event that the despatch of the Offer Document to any Shareholders who are not resident in Italy or Hong Kong is prohibited by any relevant law or may only be effected after compliance with conditions or requirements that are unduly onerous or burdensome, subject to the Executive's waiver and compliance with the applicable requirements, the Offer Document may not be despatched to such Shareholders. Please refer to the sections headed "Overseas Shareholders" and "Notice to US Investors" at the end of this Notice for further details.
3. UNITARY CONSIDERATION AND TOTAL VALUE OF THE OFFER
KKCG Maritime will pay to each tendering Shareholder to the Offer cash consideration equal to Euro 3.50 (for illustrative purposes only, equivalent to approximately HKD 31.71)⁵ (cum dividend) for each Share tendered to the Offer and purchased by KKCG Maritime, subject to the allocation modalities mentioned in section 2.1 of this Notice (Financial instruments subject to the Offer) (i.e., the Consideration). The Consideration will be paid in Euro to all Shareholders who accept the Offer.
The Consideration is intended to be on a "cum dividend" basis and has therefore been determined on the assumption that the Issuer will not approve or implement any ordinary or extraordinary distribution of dividends drawn from profits or reserves prior to the Payment Date. Accordingly,
⁴ In the event of full acceptance of the Offer, the aggregate holding of KKCG Maritime and parties acting in concert with it will be 101,206,314 Shares, representing 29.9% of Ferretti's subscribed and paid-up share capital.
⁵ For illustrative purposes only, the Consideration of Euro 3.50 corresponds to HKD 31.71 per Share, based on the Reference Exchange Rate.
110
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
the Consideration will be automatically reduced by the per-Share amount of any ordinary and/or extraordinary dividend, drawn from profits or reserves, or any other distribution resolved upon by the competent corporate bodies of the Issuer prior to the Payment Date and, unless specified or the context requires otherwise, any reference in this Notice, the Offer Document or any other announcement or document issued in relation to the Offer to the Consideration will be deemed to be a reference to the Consideration as so reduced. Any reduction will only apply to those Shares which are the subject of the Offer in respect of which KKCG Maritime will not be entitled to the relevant dividend or other distribution.
The Consideration is net of KKCG Maritime's share of any stamp duties, commissions and fees, which remain the responsibility of KKCG Maritime. The substitute tax on capital gains, where due, will be borne by those who accept the Offer.
For Shareholders in Hong Kong who accept the Offer, the seller's ad valorem stamp duty (rounded up to the nearest HK$1.00) arising in connection with the acceptance of the Offer amounting to 0.1% of the amount payable in respect of relevant acceptances by the Shareholders, or (if higher) the market value of the Shares as determined by the Collector of Stamp Revenue under the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong), will be deducted from the cash amount payable to the relevant Shareholders who accept the Offer. KKCG Maritime will arrange for payment of the seller's ad valorem stamp duty on behalf of accepting Shareholders and pay the buyer's ad valorem stamp duty in connection with the acceptances of the Offer.
Fractions of a cent will not be paid and the amount of cash consideration payable to a Shareholder who accepts the Offer will be rounded up to the nearest cent.

Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Euronext Milan trading days and a maximum of 40 (forty) Euronext Milan trading days, subject also to compliance with the HK Takeovers Code or as otherwise agreed with the Executive.
As stated in section 5.2 of this Notice (Reasons for the Offer), the timeline of the Offer is planned to enable KKCG Maritime to participate and vote with the additional stake acquired through the Offer at the next annual general meeting of the Issuer which will be called to resolve upon, among other matters, the approval of the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the appointment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
Subject to any right of acceptors to withdraw that may be required under Rule 19.2 of the HK Takeovers Code, during the period between the date on which Shares are tendered under the Offer and the Payment Date, the Shares tendered under the Offer will be bounded to serve the Offer (i.e., acceptances will be irrevocable) and the accepting Shareholders will be able to exercise all the patrimonial and administrative rights pertaining to the Shares tendered under the Offer (including voting rights and the right to receive dividends the record date for which falls before the Payment Date), but will not be able to sell, in whole or in part, or in any case to perform acts of disposal (including pledges or other encumbrances or restrictions) concerning, the Shares tendered under the Offer. During the period between the date on which Shares are tendered under the Offer and the Payment Date, no interest for the Consideration shall be due by KKCG Maritime.
For the purposes of the HK Takeovers Code, the "offer period" under the Offer commences on the date of this Notice.
5. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF AND REASONS FOR THE OFFER
5.1 Legal requirements of the Offer and applicable law
The Issuer is a company incorporated under Italian law, with its registered office in Italy, and its Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Milan, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana, and on the Main Board of the HK Stock Exchange.
Following the listing of the Issuer's ordinary shares on the Main Board of the HK Stock Exchange on 31 March 2022, the Issuer is subject to the laws, regulations and rules applicable to companies with shares listed on that market, including the provisions on public offers contained in the HK Takeovers Code.
In light of this, the Offer consists of a voluntary conditional partial public tender offer launched (i) pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 102, paragraph 1, of the CFA and the implementing provisions contained in the Issuers' Regulation, and (ii) in accordance with the HK Takeovers Code (in particular, Rule 28 thereof).
5.2 Reasons for the Offer
The decision to launch the Offer reflects KKCG Maritime's intention to increase its investment and strengthen its existing stake in Ferretti, raising the holding of KKCG Maritime from the current $14.5\%$ to $29.9\%$ of the Issuer's subscribed and paid-in share capital.
KKCG Maritime intends to exercise its rights as a significant Shareholder at the next annual general
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
meeting of Ferretti, which will resolve upon, among other matters, the approval of the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the appointment of the Issuer's Board of Directors. In this context, KKCG Maritime plans to submit a list of candidates which it proposes be appointed as directors and views the Offer as a fair and transparent means to increase its shareholding and corresponding voting rights, thereby supporting the election of its proposed director nominees. The timeline of the Offer is therefore planned to achieve these objectives by enabling KKCG Maritime to participate and vote at such annual general meeting with the additional stake acquired through the Offer.
KKCG Maritime believes that, through its representation on the Issuer's Board of Directors - and thanks to the experience and proven investment track-record of KKCG Maritime's management team - it may contribute to the further development and growth of Ferretti, both organic and inorganic, in the context of current global sector dynamics.
Furthermore, in line with KKCG Maritime's long-term strategy to enhance shareholder value, the Offer offers the Shareholders an opportunity to immediately monetize - at least in part - their investment at a significant premium to recent average market prices of the shares of Ferretti in a market environment currently characterized by volatility and uncertainty and in the context of low stock liquidity.
6. NO INTENTION TO REVOKE THE SHARES OF FERRETTI FROM LISTING
The Offer consists of a voluntary conditional partial public tender offer and is neither intended to nor will it result in the delisting of Ferretti shares from trading on either Euronext Milan or the Main Board of the HK Stock Exchange.
Given the nature and scope of the Offer, the conditions for the application of the mandatory purchase obligation under Article 108 of the CFA and/or the squeeze-out right under Article 111 of the CFA do not apply.
7. CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER
Without prejudice to the necessary approval of the Offer Document by Consob and the Executive upon completion of their respective review of the same, the Offer will be subject to the satisfaction (or, if capable of being waived, waiver) of each of the following Conditions:
(i) consent from the Executive in respect of the Offer pursuant to Rule 28.1 of the HK Takeovers Code having been obtained and such consent remaining in full force and effect;
(ii) the authorisation pursuant to the Golden Power Legislation – either expressly or following the expiry of the term for tacit approval under the Golden Power Legislation – having been granted by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers, without imposing any condition, undertaking, obligation or requirement in relation to the acquisition by KKCG Maritime of the Shares pursuant to the Offer;
(iii) the competent antitrust authority in Austria having approved the transaction proposed by KKCG Maritime under the Offer without imposing any condition, undertaking, obligation or requirement in relation to the acquisition by KKCG Maritime of the Shares pursuant to the
Offer Document – Ferretti S.p.A.
Offer; and
(iv) the Issuer and/or its directly or indirectly controlled subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies not having resolved and in any event not having carried out, nor undertaken to carry out, acts or transactions that may conflict with the achievement of the objectives of the Offer pursuant to Article 104 of the CFA and/or Rule 4 of the HK Takeovers Code, even if such acts or transactions have been authorised by an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Issuer or are decided and implemented independently by an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting and/or by the management bodies of the Issuer's subsidiaries and/or affiliated companies.
KKCG Maritime reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the Conditions set out in paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, in compliance with applicable law and the HK Takeovers Code, in each case by giving notice in accordance with applicable law and the HK Takeovers Code.
Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, KKCG Maritime may only invoke one or more of the Conditions (other than the Condition set out in paragraph (i) above) as a basis for not proceeding with the Offer if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Condition are of material significance to KKCG Maritime in the context of the Offer.
The Offer is not conditional upon reaching a minimum acceptance threshold. As such, subject to satisfaction (or, if capable of being waived, waiver) of the Conditions, KKCG Maritime will acquire all the Shares tendered to the Offer up to the Maximum Number.
KKCG Maritime will announce the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the Conditions or, if such Conditions have not been met and are capable of being waived, any waiver thereof, by giving notice as provided under Article 36 of the Issuers' Regulation and in accordance with the HK Takeovers Code.
Subject to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the HK Takeovers Code, if even one of the Conditions is not fulfilled and (if capable of being waived) KKCG Maritime does not exercise its right to waive it, the Offer will not be completed. In such case, any Shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer will be returned to the tendering Shareholders by the trading day following the date on which the ineffectiveness of the Offer is declared: the Shares will thus be made available again to the tendering Shareholders (through their depositary intermediaries or otherwise, as applicable), without any charge or expense to them.

12. DEALINGS DISCLOSURE
In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the HK Takeovers Code, the respective associates of the Issuer and KKCG Maritime (as defined under the HK Takeovers Code, including any person who owns or controls 5% or more of any class of relevant securities of the Issuer) are reminded to disclose their dealings in the relevant securities of the Issuer pursuant to Rule 22 of the HK Takeovers Code. In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the HK Takeovers Code, the full text of Note 11 to Rule 22 of the HK Takeovers Code is reproduced below.
Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries
Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates of an offeror or the offeree company and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than HK$1 million.
This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.
Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation.

Notice to US Investors
The Offer will be made for the securities of a company incorporated in Italy and is subject to Italian and Hong Kong disclosure and other procedural requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Offer will be made in accordance with the requirements of the CFA, the SFO, the HK Takeovers Code and, to the extent the Offer is made in the United States, it will be made pursuant to the applicable US tender offer rules or certain available exemptions or exceptions therefrom. Accordingly, the Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to payment and settlement procedures and timing, which may be different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law.
The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a US holder of the Shares may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each holder of the Shares is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the Offer.
It may be difficult for US holders of the Shares to enforce their rights and any claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since KKCG Maritime and the Issuer are located in countries other than the United States, and some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. US holders of the Shares may not be able to bring a claim against a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for any violations of the securities laws of the United States. Further, it may be difficult for US holders of the Shares to effect service of process within the United States upon KKCG Maritime or the Issuer or their respective officers or directors or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States.
