Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Fiera Milano S.p.A. convened for 5 October 2021 at 3 p.m. in a single call.
(Report pursuant to Article 125ter, paragraph 1, Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended Report pursuant to Article 2501quinquies of the Italian Civil Code and Article 70, 2nd paragraph of the Issuers' Regulations)
The Board of Directors has called an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to submit to you the proposed merger decision under Article 2502 of the Italian Civil Code, by means of approval of the merger by incorporation of Fiera Milano Media S.p.A. – a company wholly owned by Fiera Milano S.p.A. – with registered office in Milan (MI), Piazzale Carlo Magno 2502, VAT No. 08067990153 – into Fiera Milano S.p.A.
Firstly, we inform you that on 1 September 2021, the Board of Directors of Fiera Milano S.p.A. prepared the planned merger by incorporation of Fiera Milano Media S.p.A., which proposes to carry out the merger in question by means of direct incorporation pursuant to article 2505 of the Italian Civil Code.
Given that the majority of the current activities of Fiera Milano Media S.p.A. are related to the exhibitions and the Company mission, the merger between Fiera Milano S.p.A. and Fiera Milano Media S.p.A. will improve the management of the resources and assets for the promotion of digital services and digital product communication, as well as training/elearning, allowing for significant organisational synergy in a more efective manner.
Without prejudice of the above, as more fully described in the merger plan made available to Shareholders in the meeting documentation, the Board of Directors noted that the proposed merger will also simplify intercompany relations between the two companies, which currently involve (i) shared services - provision of centralised services by the staff structures of the Incorporating Company in finance, legal, procurement, HR and ICT), (ii) cash pooling - centralised treasury service provided by the Incorporating Company and (iii) the concession for the sale of advertising space and sponsorship, a service contract with which the Incorporating Company exclusively entrusted the management of advertising relating to billboards at exhibition sites and sponsorship activities to the Incorporating Company.
Finally, the extinction of the company being merged will lead to a reduction in general and administrative costs and improved efficiency of the resources involved in the legal, corporate, tax and accounting obligations of the merged company.
In light of the above, Fiera Milano S.p.A. and Fiera Milano Media S.p.A., as part of the process to simplify and rationalise the structure of Fiera Milano Group, intend to enter into the aforementioned merger by incorporation which, pursuant to Article 2504-bis, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, will take effect from the day on which final registration of the

merger documents prescribed by Article 2504 of the Italian Civil Code is completed or from the subsequent date set for this purpose in the deed of merger.
Since the company being absorbed is wholly owned by the absorbing company, the merger will not give rise to any exchange of shares in the company being absorbed for shares in the absorbing company.
It should be noted that, since Fiera Milano Media S.p.A. currently carries out some activities that do not form part – except marginally – of the corporate purpose of Fiera Milano S.p.A., the proposed merger by incorporation means it would be beneficial to amend the corporate purpose of Fiera Milano S.p.A. so that it can continue to perform the main activities currently carried out by Fiera Milano Media S.p.A.
It is therefore proposed to amend Article 4 of the articles of association of Fiera Milano S.p.A. in order to include the following activities:

It should be noted that the conditions to exercise the right of withdrawal pursuant to Article 2437, paragraph 1, no. 1), of the Italian Civil Code are not met, as the change does not entail a significant alteration of the company's business, also taking into account that the activities added to the corporate purpose clause coincide with the activities already carried out by the absorbed company, which is wholly owned by the absorbing company.
Given the above, we submit the following for your approval
