(Report pursuant to Article 73 and Annex 3A of the Regulation on Issuers)
Dear Shareholders,
Firstly, we remind you that with a resolution dated 27 April 2023, the Shareholders' Meeting authorised the Company to purchase treasury shares, and to dispose of all and/or part of the purchased treasury shares with no time limit and even before having completed the purchases, for 18 months from the date of the same resolution.
Under this authorisation, on 9 November 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to initiate the treasury share purchase programme, which was concluded on 30 November 2023, and, as of today, Fiera Milano holds 776,010 treasury shares, equal to 1.08% of the share capital.
Since the term of validity of the above authorisation will expire on 27 October 2023, to avoid having to call a shareholders' meeting close to said expiry date, for the reasons stated below we deem it useful to propose that you proceed with a new authorisation to purchase and

dispose of treasury shares under Article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code et seq. subject to revocation of the existing authorisation for the portion not carried out.
The purchase of ordinary shares of the Company will be carried out in compliance with the provisions in force for listed companies and any other applicable EU and national regulations.
The reasons and procedures for purchasing and disposing of treasury shares for which we request your authorisation are set out below.
The Board of Directors requests this authority because it considers that the purchase of treasury shares could be a valuable instrument to:
and, in any event, pursue the purposes permitted by the applicable regulatory provisions, including those covered by Regulation (EU) 596/2014, as well as, where applicable, by the market practices permitted by Consob.
It is also proposed to the Shareholders' Meeting, under the conditions and within limits specified below, to authorise the Board of Directors to dispose of any shares purchased, as well as of any treasury shares already held as this facility is considered an important component of management and strategic flexibility.
The purchase mandate requested applies to the Company's ordinary shares without par value and, under Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, may not exceed 5% of the share capital, including shares held by the Company and its subsidiaries at today's date. The subsidiaries will receive instructions for the timely notification of any purchases of shares in Fiera Milano to ensure compliance with the aforementioned overall limit of 5% of the Company's share capital.
As of this report, the paid-in share capital is equal to Euro 42,445,141.00 (forty-two million four hundred and forty-five thousand one hundred and forty-one) and comprises 71,917,829 (seventy-one million nine hundred and seventeen thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine) registered shares with no nominal value.
The fee paid or received for transactions involving the purchase or sale of treasury shares will be recognised in the accounts per the applicable pro temporeregulations.
The buyback authority is required for 18 months from the date the Shareholders' Meeting adopts the relevant resolution, while the authorisation to dispose of treasury shares, which may be purchased or already in the portfolio, is required without a time limit.

Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph E) below, the shares may be purchased in compliance with the conditions relating to trading set forth in Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (hereinafter, the "Regulation 1052") implementing Regulation (EU) 596/2014 and the applicable provisions of the Italian Civil Code, and at a price that is not higher than the highest price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is made, it being understood that the unit price shall be neither lower nor higher than 10% compared to the reference price recorded for the Fiera Milano share on the Euronext Milan Market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the session preceding each individual purchase transaction.
Shares may be sold, even before the purchases have been exhausted, on one or more occasions, at a price lower than the purchase prices.
this restriction on the disposal price does not apply if the shares are disposed of as part of a stock option plan. If the shares are used in the context of extraordinary transactions, including, for example but not limited to, exchange, swap, contribution or in the service of capital transactions or other corporate and/or financial transactions and/or other transactions of an extraordinary nature or in any case for any other non-cash disposition, the economic terms of the transaction will be determined by the Board of Directors based on the nature and characteristics of the transaction, also taking into account the market performance of Fiera Milano stock.
Purchases of treasury shares may be made in one or more tranches in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including, where applicable, permitted market practices.
In particular, transactions for the purchase of treasury shares must be carried out in compliance with the conditions outlined in Article 3 of Regulation 1052, or with the applicable provisions of the Italian Civil Code, and in such a way as to ensure equal treatment among Shareholders under Article 132 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, exclusively through the following methods:
Disposals may be effected, in one or more tranches, even before the purchases have been exhausted, by sale on regulated and/or non-regulated markets or off-market, by public offer, or as consideration for the purchase of participations and possibly by assignment to shareholders.
The purchase of treasury shares subject to this authorisation request is not instrumental to the reduction of the share capital by cancellation of the treasury shares purchased; without prejudice to the Company's right, should the Shareholders' Meeting in the future should approve a reduction of the share capital, to implement it also by cancelling the treasury shares held in the portfolio.
Given the above, we submit the following for your approval

"The Shareholders' Meeting of Fiera Milano, having examined the report of the Board of Directors prepared under Article 125-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58/98, as well as Article 73 of Consob Regulation No. 11971 of 14 May 1999 and in compliance with Annex 3A - Schedule 4, of the same Regulation and the proposal contained therein, considering Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, hereby resolves to approve the following proposal,

with any requests by the competent authorities".
Rho (Milan), 14 March 2024
On behalf of the Board of Directors The Chairman Carlo Bonomi
