1. ISSUER PROFILE

Fila, founded in Florence in 1920 and managed since 1956 by the Candela family, is a leading Italian company in the production and marketing of products for creative expression, including items for colouring, drawing, modelling, writing, painting and products for school and leisure.

Since November 2015, Fila has been listed on Euronext Milan, Euronext STAR Milan segment.

The Fila Group, with revenues of over Euro 770 million in 2023, has grown significantly over the last twenty years and has completed a series of strategic acquisitions, including the Italian company Adica Pongo, the American companies Dixon and the Pacon Group, the German company LYRA, the Mexican enterprise Lapiceria Mexicana, Daler-Rowney Lukas in England and Canson and Arches in France.

Fila is an icon of Italian creativity globally through its colouring, drawing, modelling, writing and painting tools, thanks to brands such as Giotto, Tratto, Das, Didò, Pongo, Lyra, Doms, Maimeri, Daler-Rowney, Canson, Princeton, Strathmore and Arches. Since its foundation, Fila has chosen to focus on growth through continuous innovation, both in technological and product terms, in order to enable individuals to express their ideas and talent through tools of exceptional quality. In addition, Fila and the Group companies work together with the Institutions to support educational and cultural projects which promote creativity and expression among individuals and make culture accessible to all.

At December 31, 2023, Fila operates through 25 main production facilities (of which two in Italy) and 33 production/commercial subsidiaries across the globe and employs approximately 11,794 staff.

1.1 GOVERNANCE SYSTEM ADOPTED BY THE ISSUER

In order to ensure effective and transparent allocation of roles and responsibilities among its corporate bodies and, more specifically, a correct balance between management and control functions, the Issuer has adopted a corporate governance system in line with regulatory evolution and national and international best practices, inspired by the principles and recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code, which the Company complies with.

The Company has adopted the Traditional Administration and Control Model with the following bodies and committees (¹ ):

• (i) the Shareholders' Meeting;
• (ii) the Board of Directors, which operates both as a collegial body and through the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director, and within which the following have been formed:
  • (a) the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee; and

^{( 1}) The powers and operating rules of the corporate bodies, in addition to the provisions of the law and regulations in force from time to time, are governed by the By-Laws, the Shareholders' Meeting Regulations and those of the Board of Directors and Committees, adopted by the Fila Board of Directors on May 14, 2021, and the RPT Policy, as well as the corporate policies adopted by the Company.

• (b) the Remuneration Committee;
• (iii) the Board of Statutory Auditors;

The Company in addition set up a Supervisory Board and appointed, in accordance with law, KPMG S.p.A. as the independent audit firm until the approval of the 2023 financial statements. We note that, as better illustrated in Paragraph 9.6 below, on January 24, 2024, the Shareholders' Meeting appointed Deloitte&Touche S.p.A. to undertake the legally required audit for the 2024-2032 period.

As part of the Company's review and adaptation of its governance structures and tools to the contents and recommendations of the new Corporate Governance Code (applicable from January 1, 2021), the Board of Directors saw to the following:

• (i) on May 14, 2021, pursuant to Recommendation 11 to Article 3 of the Corporate Governance Code, approved the Board of Directors and Committees Regulation that define the rules for the functioning of the administrative body, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Remuneration Committee, including the procedures for taking meeting minutes and the procedures for managing information to Directors (for more information on the Board of Directors Regulations, please refer to Section 4.4 of this Report). In particular, the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee has also been assigned responsibilities in the field of sustainability, for the robust implementation of the initiatives on sustainable development promoted by the Group. In addition, the Company has set up a special internal committee with a mixed composition (managerial and advisory) with the task of supporting the Board of Directors in the analysis of the issues relevant to the generation of long-term value (for further information on this internal committee, see Paragraph 1.3 of this Report);
• (ii) on November 12, 2021, pursuant to Recommendation 3 of Article 1 of the Corporate Governance Code, it adopted the Shareholder Communication Policy (for more information regarding the provisions of the Shareholder Communication Policy, please refer to Section 12 of this Report).

At the date of this Report:

• (ii) the Company qualifies as a "concentrated ownership company" within the meaning of the Corporate Governance Code, in that it is controlled by right by Pencil, which holds a total of approximately 53.63% (² ) of the voting rights that may be exercised at the Shareholders' Meeting (for further information, see Section 2.3 of this Report).

^{( 2}) The percentage was calculated without taking into account the voting rights attributable to the 330,766 treasury shares held at the end of the 2023 financial year.

The Company has given the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee responsibility for sustainability in order to implement the initiatives on sustainable development promoted by the Group. For further information in this regard, see Section 9.3 of this Report. On June 10, 2020, the Company also set up a special Internal Committee, of a mixed composition of managerial and advisory members, with the task of supporting the Board of Directors in the analysis of issues relevant to the generation of long-term value.

Ordinary shares may not be converted into B Shares.

The Company may issue B Shares limited to the following cases (i) share capital increases pursuant to Article 2442 of the Civil Code or through new conferment without exclusion or limitation of the option right, in any case together with ordinary shares; and (ii) mergers or spin-offs.

In the event of a share capital increase to be undertaken through the issue of ordinary shares, all shareholders will have the right to subscribe to the newly-issued ordinary shares (unless the option right is excluded in accordance with law or there is no entitlement) in proportion and in relation to the shares - including ordinary shares or Class B shares – held at the moment of share capital increase. In such an event, the passing of the relative motion pursuant to Article 2376 of the Civil Code by the special Shareholders' Meeting of the B Shares is not required.

In the event of a share capital increase through the issue of ordinary or B Shares: (i) the number of the ordinary and B Shares to be issued must be proportional to the number of ordinary and B Shares of the share capital at the date of the relative motion; and (ii) the ordinary and B Shares to be issued must be offered to each shareholder in relation to and in proportion to, respectively, the ordinary and B Shares held at the date of the share capital increase, noting that the B Shares may only be subscribed by shareholders already holders of B Shares; in the absence of subscription of the newly issued B Shares by the shareholders of the B Shares, the B Shares will automatically convert into ordinary shares based on one share for every B Share and will be offered to the other shareholders in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

Where the Company participates in a merger by incorporation as the incorporating company or in a merger, the holders of the B Shares will have the right to receive, within the share swap ratio, shares with the same characteristics - in relation to the multi-voting rights – as the B Shares, in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

The Shareholders' Meeting on April 27, 2022 approved, on the proposal of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the CFA, the adoption of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, intended for the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director, Senior Executives and Senior Managers, as a replacement for the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan, intended for the same categories of beneficiaries and which expired naturally on December 31, 2021.

2.9.2 Treasury shares

The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 21, 2023, following revocation of the previous authorisation granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2022 for the part not yet executed, authorised the Board of Directors to purchase, in accordance with Article 2357 of the Civil Code, for a period of 18 (eighteen) months effective from the date of the relative Shareholders' Meeting motion (i.e. October 20, 2024), on one or more occasions and at any moment, of a maximum number of 500,000 ordinary shares or a different number of shares which will represent 0.979% of the share capital resulting from increases and/or reductions in capital during the period of the authorisation, also taking into account the shares which may be held by the Company and which may be held at any time by subsidiary companies and, in any case, in accordance with the limits required by law(⁵ ).

The treasury share purchases may be carried out according to one of the methods envisaged by the combined provision in Article 132 of the CFA and Article 144-bis of the Issuers' Regulation, taking into account the specific exemption provided by paragraph 3 of Article 132 of the CFA and, in any case, with any other means permitted by applicable legal and regulatory provisions.

The unitary treasury share purchase price may not be higher or lower than 10% of the official price recorded for the trading session preceding each purchase transaction.

Pursuant to Article 2357-ter of the Civil Code, the Shareholders' Meeting also authorised acts of disposals, on one or more occasions, of the treasury shares acquired and those held in the Company's portfolio, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory provisions at the following terms and conditions:

• (i) the shares may be disposed of or transferred at any time without time limit;
• (ii) disposal transactions may also be undertaken before the purchases have been fully completed

^{( 5}) Taking into account the 186,981 treasury shares (representing 0.366% of the Company's share capital) held by the Company in portfolio at April 21, 2023, by virtue of the aforesaid authorisation, the Company may hold up to a maximum of 686,981 treasury shares or another number representing in total no more than the maximum limit of 1.345% of the share capital for the resolution and execution of capital increases and/or reductions during the term of the aforementioned authorisation.

and may take place on one or more occasions in the manner considered to be most beneficial to the Company, establishing that disposal may occur: (a) through the disposal of ownership of treasury shares, or through the transfer of any real and/or personal rights relating to them (b) through sale on the market, including through trading activities, or outside the regulated market, (c) through disposal or assignment, including free assignment, in favour of Directors, employees and/or collaborators of the company and/or its subsidiaries, in implementation of incentive plans, (d) through another act of disposal, as part of transactions in relation to which it is considered beneficial to swap or sell shareholdings, including through exchange or transfer, (e) during share capital transactions involving the assignment or disposal of treasury shares (such as, by way of example, mergers, spin-offs, issue of convertible bonds or warrants served by treasury shares), or in the case of distribution of dividends, or, finally (f) under any other form of disposal permitted by applicable law, granting the Board of Directors the power to establish, on a case by case basis in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions, and with the methods and conditions that are considered most beneficial;

(iii) the unitary price for the sale of the shares may not be lower than 10% in respect of the official price recorded in the trading session preceding each sale transaction. However, this price limit does not apply in cases of disposal or assignment, including free assignment, in favour of Directors, employees and/or collaborators of the Company and/or its subsidiaries in implementation of incentive plans, as well as in cases involving the execution of transactions in relation to which it is considered beneficial to swap or sell shareholdings, including through exchange or transfer, or during share capital transactions involving the assignment or disposal of treasury shares (including, by way of example, mergers, spin-offs, issue of convertible bonds or warrants served by treasury shares).

The Shareholders' Meeting also conferred to the Board of Directors, with the express right of delegation, the widest powers necessary or appropriate to execute this motion, including by means of authorised intermediaries and approving any and all executive provisions of the relative acquisition programme.

During the Reporting Year (and specifically the period from August 7 - December 29, 2023), in execution of the authorisation granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 21, 2023, the Company purchased 143,875 ordinary Fila shares (representing 0.282% of the share capital), at an average price of Euro 8.15 per share, for a total value of Euro 1,171,899, as disclosed to the market in the press release of December 29, 2023.

Therefore, at the end of the Reporting Year, i.e. at December 31, 2023, the Company held a total of 330,766 treasury shares in portfolio, representing 0.648% of the share capital.

Finally, on March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the submission for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2023 financial statements of the Company of the renewal of the authorisation to purchase and dispose of ordinary treasury shares, in accordance with Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Civil Code and Article 132 of the CFA, following revocation of the previous authorisation granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 21, 2023, which, for the part concerning the portion of treasury shares, shall expire in the coming months.

The terms, conditions, and methods of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Company's 2023 financial statements

are substantially the same as those of the authorisation granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 21, 2023. Specifically, the authorisation to purchase treasury shares, in one or more tranches, is requested for the maximum duration permitted by Article 2357, paragraph two, of the Civil Code, i.e. for a period of 18 (eighteen) months from the date of the proposal's approval. The authorisation refers to a number of ordinary shares up to 500,000 units, or the different number overall representing no more than the maximum limit of 0.979% of share capital in the case of the approval and execution of increases and/or reductions in share capital during the period of the authorisation. Considering that at the date of this Report, (i) the Company holds 330,766 treasury shares representing 0.648% of the Company's share capital, and (ii) no Fila subsidiary holds shares in the Company, by virtue of the aforementioned authorisation the Company may hold up to a maximum of 830,766 treasury shares or another number representing in total no more than the maximum limit of 1.627% of the share capital for the resolution and execution of capital increases and/or reductions during the term of the aforementioned authorisation.

The 2021-2025 Strategic Plan includes the 2021-2025 Sustainability Plan, through which the Group is committed to operating responsibly, integrating the sustainable development objectives promoted by the United Nations into its business model, in an increasingly structured manner.

For more information on the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan and the 2021-2025 Sustainability Plan, please refer to the Company's website (www.filagroup.it).

The Board has the power and the duty to manage the Issuer's activities, pursuing the ultimate and primary objective of creating value for the Shareholders.

The Board guides the Company in pursuit of sustainable success shall have the widest powers of ordinary and extraordinary administration of the Company, with the power to carry out all acts it deems appropriate for attaining the corporate scope, with the sole exclusion of those attributed by law to the Shareholders' Meeting.

In accordance with Article 2365, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, the Board of Directors is also empowered to pass the following motions, without prejudice to the concurrent competence of the Shareholders' Meeting: (i) mergers in the cases provided for by Article 2505 and 2505-bis of the Civil Code (ii) spin-offs in the cases provided for by Article 2506-ter, last paragraph, of the Civil Code (iii) the opening and closing of secondary offices; (iv) the reduction of the share capital as a result of a return of shares; (v) updating the By-Laws in accordance with the law; and (vi) transfer of the registered office within Italy.

The Board of Directors has a central role in operating activities, overseeing the various functions and is responsible for the organisational and strategic guidelines, as well as for verifying the existence of the necessary controls to monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Group.

Within the scope of the powers granted to it by the By-Laws and consistent with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors:

(i) defines the strategies of the Issuer and the Group in line with the pursuit of sustainable success, and monitors the enactment of these strategies. The remit of the Board of Directors includes the review and approval of the strategic, industrial and financial plans of the Issuer and of the

Group, periodically monitoring their implementation. Specifically, on December 10, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan and constantly monitors its implementation (for more information on the main activities carried out by the Board on sustainability during the Reporting Year, see Section 1.1 of this Report);

• (ii) defines the corporate governance system deemed to be the most functional for carrying out the Company's activities and pursuing its strategies, as well as the structure of the Group. Specifically, the Board of Directors has (a) appointed internal Board committee, assigning them specific functions; (b) appointed and granted powers to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director; and (c) approved and updated the Group's organisational model;
• (iii) promotes dialogue with shareholders and other relevant stakeholders for the Issuer; In this regard, on November 12, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the Shareholder Communication Policy. This seeks to: (a) ensure an ongoing and open relationship, based on a mutual understanding of roles, with the current institutional investors, the potential investors, asset managers, financial market operators, the Italian and international financial press, rating agencies and proxy advisors, with trade associations and with the wider base of shareholders, in addition to the owners or holders of other financial instruments issued by the Company, in order to improve the level of understanding of the operations carried out by the company and the Group, its operating-financial performance and the strategies to ensure sustainable success, in line with that recommended by Article 1 of the Corporate Governance Code; and (b) maintain an appropriate information channel with these parties (for more information on the Shareholder Communication Policy, see section 12 of this Report).
• (iv) adopted, upon proposal of the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer, a policy for the internal management and external disclosure of documents and information on the Issuer, with particular reference to inside information (for further information, see Section 5 of this Report); and
• (v) reviews and approves in advance the operations of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, when these have significant strategic, economic or financial importance for the Issuer, paying particular attention to the situations in which one or more Directors have an interest on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties.

In relation to this, the Board of Directors has not established criteria for the identification of transactions which have significant strategic, economic, equity or financial importance for the Issuer, since: (i) all transactions not within the powers conferred to the Chief Executive Officer are within the remit of the Board; and (ii) the Board of Directors establishes this criteria individually for each of the transactions on their approval by the Board of Directors. This ensures that, with the exception of the powers expressly conferred to the Chief Executive Officer and listed in detail in paragraph 4.7.1 of this Report below, the Board of the Issuer reviews and assesses the most significant transactions which guarantees constant monitoring of the operating performance and taking an active part in the principal business decisions.

In relation to the management of conflicts of interest and related party transactions of the Issuer and of the Group, see Section 10 of this Report.

Pursuant to Article 2381 of the Civil Code and Recommendation 1(d) of the Corporate Governance Code, during the Reporting Year the Board of Directors periodically assessed the adequacy of the

organisational, administration and general accounting system of the Issuer and the other Group companies of strategic importance, with particular reference to the Internal Control and Risk Management System.

In the undertaking of these activities the Board of Directors were assisted, on a case by case basis, by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Internal Audit Manager and the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting, as well as the procedures and verifications implemented in accordance with Law No. 262 of December 28, 2005.

During the Reporting Year the Board of Directors evaluated on a number of occasions the general operational performance, taking into account, in particular, the information received from the Chief Executive Officer, as well as periodically, comparing the results with the budgets.

During the year, the Board of Directors did not deem it necessary or appropriate to draw up any reasoned proposals to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting regarding the corporate governance system, since it considers the current system to be functional to the Company's needs.

4.2 APPOINTMENT AND REPLACEMENT (PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 123-BIS, PARAGRAPH 1, LETTER L), CFA)

As per Article 11 of the By-Laws, as amended by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021, the Company is administered by a Board of Directors made up of between 7 (seven) and 12 (twelve) members. The Shareholders' Meeting establishes the number of members on the Board of Directors, which remains in place until otherwise resolved.

All Directors must satisfy the eligibility and good standing requirements established by applicable law and other provisions. In addition, in accordance with the legal and regulatory requirements, a number of Directors should be independent.

As per Article 11 of the By-Laws, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the Board of Directors on the basis of slates presented by the shareholders, in accordance with the procedure set out below, except where otherwise established by obligatory laws or regulations.

Shareholders can present a slate for the appointment of Directors who, alone or together with other presenting shareholders, have a shareholding at least equal to that determined by Consob in accordance with applicable provisions and regulations(7). Ownership of the minimum shareholding is determined according to the shares that are registered in favour of the shareholder on the day in which the slates are filed with the Issuer; certification can also be presented subsequent to the filing provided that it is within the deadline for the publication of the slates.

The slates are filed at the registered office in accordance with the methods and the deadlines provided for by applicable law. The slates must be made available to the public in accordance with the manner prescribed by current regulations.

The slates provide for a number of candidates not exceeding 12 (twelve), listed numerically. The slates with a number of candidates equal to or greater than 3 (three) should be composed of

^{( 7}) Pursuant to Article 144-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, by Resolution No. 28 of January 30, 2020, Consob set the shareholding required for the presentation of the slates of candidates at 2.5% of share capital.

candidates from both genders (masculine and feminine), so as to guarantee the composition of the Board of Directors is in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions in relation to gender balance (male and female), rounded upwards.

The following must be attached to each slate, or else shall be considered as not presented:

• (i) curriculum vitae of the candidates;
• (ii) declarations of the individual candidates, in which they accept their candidature and certify, under their own responsibility, the inexistence of any cause of ineligibility or incompatibility, as well as the satisfaction of the requirements prescribed by applicable regulations for the office of Director of the Company, including where applicable, declarations on the independence of candidates;
• (iii) the shareholders who have presented the slates and their total shareholding;
• (iv) any other further declaration, disclosure and/or document required by law and applicable regulatory rules.

Individual Shareholders, shareholders belonging to the same group or members of a shareholder agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the CFA, may not present or be involved in the presentation, even through nominees or trust companies, of more than one slate or vote on other slates; in addition, each candidate may only be present on one slate, at the risk of being declared ineligible.

The candidates elected at the end of the voting shall be those on the two slates that have obtained the highest number of votes as follows: (i) from the slate which obtained the highest number of votes (the "Majority Slate"), all the Directors shall be elected in progressive number, less 1 (one); and (ii) from the slate which obtained the second highest number of votes and that is not associated, even indirectly, with the shareholders who presented or voted for the Majority Slate (the "Minority Slate") one Director shall be elected, being the first candidate indicated on the slate.

Pursuant to Article 147-ter, paragraph 1 of the CFA, consideration is not taken of the slates which have not obtained at least half of the votes required for the presentation of slates.

Should two slates receive the same number of votes, a second vote of the entire Shareholders' Meeting shall decide, with the candidate being elected by means of a simple majority of the votes.

If voting does not result in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions in relation to gender balance (including rounding up where necessary in relation to the under-represented gender), the elected candidate appearing last on the Majority Slate of the over-represented gender is excluded and will be replaced by the first candidates from the same slate belonging to the other gender. Where it is not possible to implement this replacement procedure in order to guarantee compliance with legal and regulatory provisions concerning gender balance, the non-elected Directors will be elected by the Shareholders' Meeting through ordinary majority, with presentation of candidates belonging to the under-represented gender.

Where the result of the voting does not ensure the election of the number of Independent Directors required by the applicable regulations, the non-independent candidates elected last in progressive order on the Majority Slate will be excluded and will be substituted with the first independent nonelected candidates from the same slate. Where this procedure does not ensure the required number

of Independent Directors, the Shareholders' Meeting will elect in accordance with ordinary majority, with presentation of independent candidates.

Where only one slate is presented, the Shareholders' Meeting will vote on that slate and, where this slate receives the majority of the votes, all the members of the Board of Directors will be taken from this slate in accordance with applicable law and regulations, including gender equality regulations.

In the absence of slates, or where only one slate is presented and this slate does not receive the majority of the votes, or where the number of Directors elected based on the slates presented is below the number of members to be elected, or where the entire Board of Directors need not be reelected, or where it is not possible for whatever reason to proceed with the nomination of the Board of Directors with the above-mentioned procedures, the members of the Board of Directors will be appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting through ordinary majority, without application of the slate voting mechanism, subject to the obligation to maintain the minimum number of Independent Directors established by law and in accordance with applicable law and regulations in relation to gender equality.

The Directors are elected for a period, established by the Shareholders Meeting, of not greater than three (3) years from the acceptance of their office and until the date of the Shareholders' Meeting for the approval of the annual accounts for the last year of their appointment.

Where over half the Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting leave office, the entire Board shall be deemed to have vacated office with effect from the re-appointment of the Board of Directors and the remaining directors must promptly call a Shareholders' Meeting for the appointment of the new Board of Directors.

Where during the year one or more Directors elected from the slate which attained the second highest number of votes at the Shareholders' Meeting vacates office, the Board of Directors shall, where possible, co-opt an unelected candidate from the slate of the resigning Director, subject to the obligation to maintain the minimum number of Independent Directors established by law and in accordance with applicable law and regulations in relation to gender balance. If there are no unelected candidates on the slate from which the outgoing Director was taken, or if any unelected candidate on the slate from which the outgoing Director was taken has declared his/her unavailability to accept the position, the Board of Directors shall co-opt a new Director without applying the abovementioned mechanism, without prejudice to the obligation to maintain the minimum number of Independent Directors set out by law and in compliance with the provisions of law and regulations in force from time to time concerning the balance between genders. The Board of Directors elects a Chairperson from among its members, who remains in this position for the duration Board of Directors.

Also in view of Fila's status as a company with concentrated shareholdings, the Issuer's By-Laws do not provide for the option for the outgoing Board of Directors to submit a slate of candidates for the appointment of the administrative body.

Specifically, all the members of the Board of Directors complied with the requisites for good standing pursuant to Article 2 of the Ministry of Justice Regulation No. 162/2000, and enacted in Article 147 quinquies of the CFA and there was no eligibility or lapsing of office pursuant to Article 2382 of the Civil Code or, where applicable, Article 148, paragraph 3 of the CFA, as enacted in Article 147-ter, paragraph 4 of the CFA. Moreover, the Chairperson Giovanni Gorno Tempini and the Directors Giorgina Gallo, Donatella Sciuto and Carlo Paris meet the independence requirements set out in Article 148, paragraph 3 of the CFA, as referred to in Article 147, paragraph 4 of the CFA.

The Company has not approved any diversity policies in relation to the composition of the management and control boards with regards to aspects such as age, gender composition and training and professional background. With regard to the provision of Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter dbis of the CFA concerning diversity policies applied by governing, management and control bodies, the Board of Directors' meeting of March 20, 2019 decided not to adopt any policy, considering the provisions of the By-Laws, laws and regulations and those of the Corporate Governance Code to be entirely adequate to this purpose.

With regard to gender diversity in particular, Law No. 160 of December 27, 2019 amended, inter alia, Article 147-ter of the CFA, introducing a new allocation criterion requiring at least two-fifths of the governing body (instead of the previous one-third) to be of the under-represented gender for 6 (six) consecutive terms. This new allocation criterion was adopted by the Issuer when appointing the new Board of Directors at the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 27, 2021.

As of the date of this Report, 3 (three) out of 7 (seven) Directors currently in office belong to the under-represented gender.

With specific reference to Principle VII of the Corporate Governance Code and in compliance with the priority objective of ensuring adequate expertise and professionalism of its members, it should be noted that the Board of Directors, on March 14, 2024, during its self-assessment, acknowledged the positive opinion on the possession of adequate professional characteristics, experience and seniority of the members of the Board and its Committees, in order to guarantee satisfactory diversity in terms of age and skills and a balanced composition of the body.

Finally we note that, in recognition of the importance of gender diversity in ensuring the Group's success, the Board of Directors meeting of November 12, 2021 adopted a Group policy on workforce diversity and inclusion, which sets out the principles of equal opportunity, non-discrimination and meritocracy applicable throughout the Group's corporate organisation. In this regard, at December 31, 2023, 50% of Fila Group employees were women and 50% men.

4.3.3 Maximum number of offices held in other companies

As per Recommendation 15 of the Corporate Governance Code, by motion of April 27, 2018, the Board of Directors set general criteria for the maximum number of offices of Director and/or Statutory Auditor held in other listed companies, in financial, banking and insurance companies or companies of a significant size which can be considered compatible with the office of Director of Fila. These criteria were confirmed by the Board of Directors by resolutions of March 20, 2019, March 16, 2020, March 16, 2021, April 27, 2021, March 16, 2022, March 16, 2023 and March 14, 2024.

The table below summarises the criteria for cumulative offices adopted by the Company.

OFFICE HELD AT THE COMPANY	MAXIMUM NUMBER OF OFFICES OF DIRECTOR OR STATUTORY AUDITOR IN OTHER LISTED COMPANIES, IN FINANCIAL, BANKING AND INSURANCE COMPANIES OR COMPANIES OF A SIGNIFICANT SIZE
Executive Director	3 + Fila
Non-Executive Director	9 + Fila

It is specified that for the purposes of simultaneous positions: (i) only the offices of Director or Statutory Auditor held in other companies listed on regulated markets (including abroad), in banking and insurance companies or of a significant size are taken into account. Specifically, this means those having a total value of operations or revenues exceeding Euro 1 billion ("Significant Companies"), (ii) offices held in several Significant Companies belonging to the same group, including the Fila Group, must be considered as a single office, with the predominance of the office having the highest professional commitment (i.e. executive office).

At the time of appointment and annually, the Board of Directors verifies the satisfaction of the criteria regarding cumulative offices set out above by each Director by examining disclosures regarding positions occupied rendered by each member of the Board of Directors. In addition, in the event of situations of supervening incompatibility, the Director in question is required to inform the Board of Directors thereof promptly so that it may conduct the necessary assessments.

At its session of March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors verified the positions occupied by each Director at other companies and concluded that the positions occupied by the Directors at other companies are compatible, according to the criteria set out above, with the effective performance of the role of Director of the Company. The Board of Directors also concluded that its composition is compliant with laws and regulations, as well as with the competence and professionalism requirements set out in Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.

4.4 ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 123-BIS, PARAGRAPH 2, LETTER D, CFA)

4.4.1 Procedures and frequency of board meetings

The functioning of the Board of Directors is governed by the Company's By-Laws and the Board of Directors and Committees Regulation, approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2021 and made available on the Company's website, (www.filagroup.it) in the "Governance" section, in accordance with the provisions of Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code.

These rules allow for the correct and effective functioning of management, also with a view to ensuring effective management of the information provided to the Board (see Principle IX of the Corporate Governance Code).

The validity of Board of Directors motions requires the presence of a majority of its members in office, with motions passed by a majority of those present.

The Board of Directors elects a Chairperson from among its members, who remains in this position for the duration Board of Directors.

As per Article 12 of the By-Laws, the Board of Directors may delegate part of its powers to an Executive Committee, determining the limits of such mandate as well as the number of members of the committee and its operating procedures.

The Board of Directors may appoint one or more Executive Directors, granting them the relevant powers and conferring to one of them, where applicable, the role of Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Board of Directors may also establish one or more committees with consulting, advisory, or audit functions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board of Directors may also appoint General Managers, defining their powers and granting powers of attorney to third parties for certain acts or categories of acts.

As per Article 13 of the By-Laws, the Board of Directors meets at the Company's registered office or another location, provided that the latter is within the European Union or Switzerland, whenever the Chairperson deems it necessary or whenever a request is made by the Chief Executive Officer, if appointed, or by at least two of its members or by the Board of Statutory Auditors. At the discretion of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, a meeting of the Board of Directors may also be called without indicating in the call notice a specific physical location for the meeting, in which case the participants shall speak exclusively by means of remote telecommunications (provided that the conditions provided herein are complied with).

The Board of Directors is convened by the Chairperson or, if absent, by the Chief Executive Officer, with notices to be sent, by letter, telegram, fax or email with proof of receipt, to the domicile address of each Director and Statutory Auditor at least 3 (three) days before the date set for the meeting; in case of urgency, the calling of the Board of Directors may be made the day before the date set for the meeting. The meetings of the Board of Directors and its motions are valid, even without formal calling, where all the Directors and Statutory Auditors in office are present. In the absence of the Chairperson, the chair of the meeting is to be assumed by the Chief Executive Officer, if appointed, or failing that the most senior Director.

Meetings of the Board of Directors may also be held, including exclusively, by audio or video conference, provided that: (i) the principles of good faith and of equal treatment of Directors are upheld: (ii) the Chairperson of the meeting is able to verify the identity of the participants, direct the course of the meeting and witness and announce the results of the vote; (iii) that the person taking the minutes is able to adequately observe the events of the meeting that is the subject of the minutes; and (iv) that participants are able to follow the discussion and the simultaneous voting on the matters on the Agenda, as well as view, receive or transmit documents. If a physical call location is opted for, the meeting is deemed to be held in the place where the person taking the minutes is present. It is understood that the Chairperson and the person taking the minutes may be in different locations.

The Board of Directors, after prior mandatory consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors, shall appoint the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting, granting them adequate means and powers for the accomplishment of the tasks assigned.

As per the Board of Directors and Committees Regulation, the calendar for Board meeting shall be established by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Chairperson, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. In any case, meetings of the Board of Directors may also be called outside of, in compliance with the law and the By-Laws.

The matters to be dealt with during the meeting, together with any other information useful for setting the meeting, shall be clearly and concisely outlined in the call notice and included therein in numerical order.

As per Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code, prior to each meeting the Secretary shall make available to the Directors and Statutory Auditors such documentation as is reasonably necessary to provide adequate information regarding the matters on the Agenda. To ensure the prompt provision of meeting information, this documentation, as prepared by the competent corporate functions, shall be made available by the Secretary as soon as it is available and in any case at least 2 (two) calendar days before the date of the meeting, except in urgent cases, as well as in the case of special needs for confidentiality that must be adequately justified to the Board. This shall be provided using a shared computer platform with restricted access that ensures adequate protection of confidentiality of data.

During each meeting:

(i) the Chairperson shall ensure: that the proceedings are conducted in an orderly manner, in

compliance with the Agenda or by amending the Agenda and informing the Directors of the reasons for doing so; that there is the opportunity to present proposals in an appropriate manner and to ask questions and request clarifications or further information in a reasonable and useful manner; that answers are provided in an adequate manner; that participants can actively contribute to the discussion; all this while reserving adequate time for the discussion of each item on the Agenda;

• (ii) Directors asked to present a proposal must ensure that adequate disclosure is made and be available to answer questions from other Directors;
• (iii) each Director shall participate proactively, dedicating adequate time to the Board's work, promptly declaring any interests he/she may have on his/her own behalf or on behalf of third parties with respect to a given item on the Agenda, in accordance with the law, in addition to any correlation relationships pursuant to related party transactions regulations. Any Director may request, as part of a meeting, that additional information be provided beyond the premeeting disclosure or the disclosure given at the meeting in order to be able to act in an informed manner.

Discussion of the items on the Agenda shall take place in the order established in the call notice, though the Board of Directors reserves the right to change the order of discussion of the items on the proposal of the Chairperson or a Director and in the event of justified reasons, which shall be noted in the minutes.

In addition to the items already included on the Agenda, any additional items related to unavoidable and urgent problems may be proposed and communicated by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors. In such a case, the Board of Directors must unanimously resolve to include the item on the Agenda. Unless otherwise provided, it will be included in the margin of the other items on the Agenda.

Any invited person (heads of the competent corporate functions, managers, Executives, employees, consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as other external parties) whose presence is deemed useful in relation to the issues to be dealt with or to support the better conduct of the Board's business, may be called upon to attend the Board's meetings, without voting rights, and to speak during the meetings. Their participation shall be limited to the discussion of the issues within their remit, exclusively upon invitation by the Chairperson in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer (possibly also upon request by individual Directors), in order to illustrate information and documents or provide information, insights and clarifications.

Having completed all interventions, replies and answers, the Chairperson shall declare the discussion closed and invite the Board of Directors to deliberate. Voting shall be by open ballot. Directors shall abstain where required by applicable law.

The Board of Directors shall act by the affirmative vote of the absolute majority of those present, excluding abstainers; in the event of a tie, the vote of the Chairperson of the meeting shall prevail. Each member of the Board of Directors shall have the right to have his/her vote against or his/her abstention, where relevant, and the reasons for it recorded in the minutes.

The motions shall be recorded in the minutes signed by the Chairperson and the Secretary and shall be immediately enforceable unless otherwise provided for and shall be brought to the attention of

the functions and organisational units concerned and, as far as their respective competences are concerned, of the control functions.

The proposals formulated and motions passed during the meeting are recorded in minutes transcribed in a special book, together with a summary of any discussions held. The transcribed minutes are signed by the person who chaired the meeting and by the person who acted as Secretary (or by the notary public in the cases provided for by current legislation). These minutes shall be submitted to the Directors for any comments before they are archived. They shall be kept in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Directors and shall remain available for inspection at the request of each of the Directors and Statutory Auditors. The Chairperson or the Secretary may make statements regarding motions passed at meetings of the Board of Directors when the minutes of those meetings have not yet been archived.

During the Reporting Year, 9 (nine) meetings of the Board of Directors were held, on February 13, March 16, March 22, May 15, July 11, July 21, August 3, November 14, and December 14.

The meetings were appropriately minuted.

The duration of Board meetings was on average approximately 110 minutes.

During 2024, in addition to the 3 (three) meetings of the Board of Directors already held on February 13, March 14, and March 19, 2024 (meeting during which, among other matters, the consolidated financial statements and the draft financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were approved), at the publication of this Report, three (3) further meetings are scheduled to be held by the Board of Directors on the following dates: May 14, August 6 and November 12, 2024 (as per the Shareholders' Calendar communicated to the market and to Borsa Italiana, and available on the Issuer's website at www.filagroup.it in the "Investors" section).

During the Reporting Year, given an overall attendance percentage of approximately 98%, the percentage attendance for each Director was, respectively: 100% for Giovanni Gorno Tempini, 100% for Massimo Candela, 100% for Luca Pelosin, 100% for Annalisa Barbera, 100% for Carlo Paris, 100% for Donatella Sciuto and 89% for Giorgina Gallo.

In light of the foregoing, the Company believes that, during the Reporting Year, the Directors provided adequate time to perform their duties at Fila.

The Chairperson of the Board of Directors ensured that the documentation relating to the matters on the Agenda was made available to the Directors and Statutory Auditors with sufficient time before the date of each Board meeting. The timeliness and completeness of pre-meeting information is guaranteed by communication of the documentation by the deadline of at least 2 (two) days before the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors. This deadline was generally respected, and there were no cases of particular or extraordinary urgency that justified any derogation from the ordinary deadlines for sending the documentation.

In addition, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors ensured that sufficient time was dedicated to the matters on the Agenda in order that all the Directors were able to contribute, thereby guaranteeing constructive debate in the Board meetings.

Board meetings are conducted with the participation of the Secretary of the Board of Directors, and - where deemed appropriate - of the Issuer's Executives in charge of company departments relevant to the subject matter, or of external consultants involved in the items on the Agenda, in order to

provide all Directors with the necessary information regarding Agenda items. In general, the Chief Executive Officer ensures that the Executives are available to attend Board meetings so that valuable contributions may be made, in particular for the Non-Executive Directors to acquire adequate information on the operations of the Issuer.

Finally, the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting also usually attended the Board of Directors meetings.

4.7.2 Chairperson of the Board of Directors

At the date of this Report, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors is not the person chiefly responsible for management of the Issuer (Chief Executive Officer), has not been granted executive management powers, does not have a specific role in terms of corporate strategic planning and is not the controlling shareholder of the Issuer.

On April 27, 2021, March 16, 2022, March 16, 2023 and March 14, 2024 the Board of Directors verified that the Chairperson of the Board of Directors met the independence requirements set out in Article 148, paragraph 3, CFA, as referred to in Article 147-ter, paragraph 4, CFA, Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code, in addition to the criteria defined by the Board of Directors pursuant to Recommendation 7, paragraph 2, of the Corporate Governance Code.

4.7.3 Honorary Chairperson

According to Article 12.5 of the By-Laws, on the proposal of one or more shareholders representing at least 20% of the share capital, the Shareholders' Meeting may proceed to appoint a Chairperson with honorary functions, entitled the "Honorary Chairperson", selected from among persons of high standing and who have contributed to the establishment, success and/or growth of the Company.

The Honorary Chairperson may also be appointed from outside the members of the Board of Directors; in such case the Honorary Chairperson may remain in office longer than the term of the Board of Directors. The Honorary Chairperson, where not a Director of the Board, may participate at meetings of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meetings exclusively to express assessments and non-binding opinions on matters dealt with by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders, and may represent the Company on the basis of special powers of attorney issued in writing by the competent corporate bodies. The Board of Directors shall determine any fees or any other remuneration and/or reimbursement of expenses due to the Honorary Chairperson.

On April 27, 2021, the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company passed a motion, on the proposal of Pencil, to appoint Alberto Candela as the Honorary Chairperson of the Company for three financial years (that is, until the approval of the 2023 financial statements).

4.7.4 Disclosure to the Board by Directors and delegated bodies

During the Reporting Year, the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director reported adequately and in a timely manner, at least on a quarterly basis, to the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors on the activities undertaken concerning the powers conferred and in a manner to permit the Board to express in an informed manner on the matters under examination.

4.7.5 Other Executive Directors

At the date of this Report, beyond the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director, no other Directors have been attributed delegated duties.

4.8 INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

4.8.1 Independent Directors

At the date of this Report, the Board of Directors includes 4 (four) Independent Directors out of a total of 7 (seven), i.e. Directors of the Company who meet the independence requirements pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3 of the CFA, as referred to in Article 147-ter, paragraph 4 of the CFA and Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code, in addition to the criteria defined by the Board of Directors, pursuant to Recommendation 7, paragraph 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.

Specifically, pursuant to Recommendation 5 of the Corporate Governance Code, the following Directors meet the independence requirement: (i) Giovanni Gorno Tempini, who also serves as Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (ii) Giorgina Gallo, (iii) Donatella Sciuto and (iv) Carlo Paris.

The number of Independent Directors complies with Recommendation 5 of the Corporate Governance Code and is adequate, also in view of their respective responsibilities, for the Company's needs and for the functioning of the Board, and for setting up the related committees.

On March 16, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the quantitative and qualitative criteria, to be used in the Director independence review process, for assessing the significance of the relationships with the Company and/or the Group pursuant to the second paragraph of Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code. These criteria were applied starting with the assessment of the independence of the Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021. Specifically, the following are considered "significant":

• the following business, financial or professional relationships of a Director with the Company (Recommendation 7, first paragraph (c) of the Corporate Governance Code):
  • (a) a relationship of a commercial or financial nature with Fila and/or with its subsidiaries and/or with Pencil and/or with Pencil's controlling entities and/or with their respective Directors and/or their respective top managers whose total annual compensation to the Director of Fila (or companies controlled by the Director of Fila or of which the Director of Fila is an Executive Director) accounts for 7.5% or more of the total annual revenues of the Fila Director (in the case of a Director who is a sole proprietor) or of the company or entity over which the Fila Director has control or of which the Fila Director is an Executive Director;
  • (a) a relationship of a professional nature whose total annual compensation to the Director of Fila (or the professional firm or consulting firm of which the Director is a partner) in the case of (1) a consultant acting as a sole practitioner, accounts for 15% or more of total annual revenue; or (2) a consultant who is a partner in a law firm or consulting firm, accounts for 4% or more of total annual revenue of the law firm or consulting firm;

It is understood that, even if the quantitative parameters set forth in points (i) and (ii) are not exceeded, a relationship of a commercial, financial or professional nature shall be deemed of "significance" for the purposes of Recommendation 7, first paragraph, letter c) of the Corporate Governance Code if it is deemed by the Board of Directors to be capable of affecting the autonomy of judgement and independence of a Fila

Director in the performance of his or her duties. Therefore, by way of example, in the case of a Director who is a partner of a professional firm or a consulting firm, the Board, regardless of the quantitative parameters set out above, may consider as of "significance" a relationship that (i) may have an effect on the Director's position and/or role within the firm/consulting firm; and/or (ii) relates to significant Group transactions and may, therefore, have a reputational significance for the Director within the organisation;

• the following additional compensation (Recommendation 7, second paragraph (d), of the Corporate Governance Code): additional compensation received by the Director for offices held in Fila, Pencil and/or its subsidiaries that is, in aggregate and on an annual basis, at least 40% greater than the fixed annual compensation received by such Director for the office of Director of Fila (including any compensation for participation on internal committees), providing that:
  • (i) "fixed compensation for the office" means:
    • (a) the compensation determined by the Shareholders' Meeting for all Directors or determined by the Board of Directors for all Non-Executive Directors within the total amount approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the entire Board of Directors; and
    • (b) any compensation awarded on account of the particular position held by the individual Non-Executive Director within the Board of Directors (Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson (where appointed), Lead Independent Director (where appointed)), defined according to the best practices provided for in Recommendation 25 of the Corporate Governance Code;
  • (ii) "compensation for participation on internal committees" means the compensation that an individual Director receives by reason of his or her participation on internal committees provided for in the Corporate Governance Code or committees/boards provided for by applicable law, excluding compensation from participation in any executive committees;
  • (iii) for the purposes of determining the "additional compensation" received by a Director of Fila, included are the "fixed compensation for the office" and the "compensation for participation on internal committees" (as defined above) received by such a Director from subsidiaries and/or from Pencil.

The fact of being a "close family member" of a person who is in one of the above situations, where "close family members" includes, but is not limited to, parents, children, spouses who are not legally separated and cohabitants, also constitutes a circumstance that may compromise the independence of a Director.

The existence of the above requirements is verified by the Board of Directors upon appointment, following the occurrence of circumstances relevant to independence and, in any case, on an annual basis. The Board of Statutory Auditors verifies the correct application of the criteria and procedures followed by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of its members.

The Board of Directors assesses the existence and permanence of the independence requirements above, also applying all the criteria as per the Corporate Governance Code on the basis of the information that the parties are required to provide under their own responsibility, or of the information available to the Board of Directors. The results of these checks are communicated to the market through publication of a specific press release.

On April 27, 2021, the Board of Directors verified - on the basis of the information at its disposal, and in particular that provided by the Directors - the existence of the independence requirements set out in Article 148, paragraph 3, of the CFA, as referred to in Article 147-ter, paragraph 4, of the CFA, in Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code, in addition to the criteria defined by the Board of Directors pursuant to Recommendation 7, paragraph 2 of the Corporate Governance Code, for the Directors (i) Giovanni Gorno Tempini (⁹ ); (ii) Donatella Sciuto; (iii) Giorgina Gallo; and (iv) Carlo Paris. The outcome of these assessments was positive, and was communicated to the market in the press release dated April 27, 2021, available on the Issuer's website (www.filagroup.it) in the "Investor" section.

With specific reference to the provisions contained in Article 149, paragraph 1, letter C-bis of the CFA and Recommendation 6 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board to assess the independence of its members.

The annual checks on whether the Directors (i) Giovanni Gorno Tempini, who also holds the office of Chairperson of the Board of Directors(10); (ii) Donatella Sciuto; (iii) Giorgina Gallo; and (iv) Carlo Paris, continued to be carried out by the Board of Directors at its meetings of March 16, 2022, March 16, 2023 and March 14, 2024 on the basis of the information available to it and, in particular, that provided by the Directors. The outcome of these assessments was also positive, and was communicated to the market in the press releases dated March 16, 2022, March 16, 2023 and March 14, 2024, available on the Issuer's website (www.filagroup.it) in the "Investor" section.

With specific reference to the provisions contained in Article 149, paragraph 1, letter C-bis of the CFA and Recommendation 6 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board to assess the independence of its members.

During the Reporting Year, on December 18, 2023, 1 (one) meeting of the Independent Directors was held, coordinated by the Chairperson, during which potential improvements to corporate governance were discussed.

It should be noted that no Independent Director has pledged to maintain independence throughout the term of office and, if necessary, to resign. In the event that a Director who qualifies as independent loses his or her independence requirements, said Director shall promptly notify the Board of Directors.

^{( 9}) With particular reference to the independence of the Chairperson Giovanni Gorno Tempini, we note that the Board of Directors has acknowledged the absence of professional, commercial or financial relations with the Company and of additional remuneration with respect to that which is fixed for the office.

^{( 10}) With particular reference to the independence of the Chairperson Giovanni Gorno Tempini, we note that the Board of Directors has acknowledged the absence of professional, commercial or financial relations with the Company and of additional remuneration with respect to that which is fixed for the office.

4.8.2 Lead Independent Director

The Board of Directors has deemed it unnecessary to appoint a Lead Independent Director, as the conditions set out in Recommendation 13 of the Corporate Governance Code are not met, given that:

• (i) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors does not hold the position of Chief Executive Officer and does not have significant management powers;
• (ii) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors does not control the Company, not even jointly with other persons;
• (iii) the Issuer does not qualify as a Large Company pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code.

5. MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Chairperson and in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, has adopted the following procedures:

• (i) an Inside Information Processing Policy, the current version of which was approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting of May 15, 2019; and
• (ii) an Internal Dealing Code Of Conduct, the current version of which was approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting of May 10, 2017.

Both documents are available on the Company's website (www.filagroup.it) in the "Governance" section.

6. INTERNAL COMMITTEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 123-BIS, PARAGRAPH 2, LETTER D), OF THE CFA)

6.1 ESTABLISHING COMMITTEES

On April 27, 2021, the Board of Directors resolved to establish the following Committees from among its members with investigative, advisory and propositional functions pursuant to Principle XI and Recommendation 16 of the Corporate Governance Code:

• (i) Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, responsible for internal control and risk management, sustainability and related party transactions pursuant to the RPT Regulation and the RPT Policy;
• (ii) Remuneration Committee, which is responsible for compensation matters.

For further information on the powers and composition of the individual Committees, please refer to paragraphs 8.2 and 9.2 of this Report.

As provided for in Principle XI and Recommendation 16 of the Corporate Governance Code, as well as in the current regulatory provisions, the Board of Directors may establish internal committees with investigative, advisory, proposing and control functions.

The members of the Committees and their Chairs shall be appointed and dismissed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Except where otherwise decided by the Board of Directors on appointment, the mandate for the Committee is the same as that of the Board of Directors, on which its members also sit.

The Board of Directors shall define the responsibilities of the committees, giving preference to the expertise and experience of their members and - while Directors may serve on more than one committee - avoiding an excessive concentration of duties. More specifically: (i) at least one member of the Remuneration Committee has adequate knowledge and experience in accounting and financial matters or in remuneration policies, the assessment of which is left to the Board of Directors upon appointment; (ii) at least one member of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee has adequate knowledge and experience in accounting and financial matters or in risk management.

In accordance with that determined by the Board of Directors at the time of their appointment, Committees shall consist of at least three Directors, all of whom shall be non-executive and a majority of whom shall be independent; the Chairperson of each committee shall be selected from among the Independent Directors.

The Committee, on the proposal of the Chairperson, appoints a Secretary, who may also be a nonmember.

The Board of Directors may establish an annual budget for one or more committees in relation to any external consultancy it may require.

In any case, the Board of Directors has the power to modify the composition of the Committees and/or to set up one or more committees - always with investigative, propositional, consultative functions and control - even in matters other than those recommended by the Corporate Governance Code, whether of a permanent or occasional nature.

During the Reporting Year and at the date of this Report, none of the functions that the Corporate Governance Code recommends be assigned to one or more committees was reserved for the Board of Directors.

For the sake of completeness, it should be underlined that on June 10, 2020, the Issuer - as provided for by Recommendation 1(a) of the Corporate Governance Code - established a specific internal Committee with mixed composition (managerial and advisory) on sustainability issues, with the task of supporting the Board of Directors in the analysis of the issues that are relevant for the generation of long-term value. For more specific information about the composition of the committee and its powers, see sections 1.1 and 1.3 of this report.

6.2 OPERATION OF THE COMMITTEES

With specific reference to the provisions of Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code, the functioning of the Committees is governed by the Board of Directors and Committees Regulation, approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2021 and made available on the Company's website (www.filagroup.it) in the "Governance" section.

Committees meet when considered appropriate by their Chairperson - though at least on a half-yearly basis - or upon request from the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or the majority of the members of the committee itself.

The call notice, with the date, time and place of the meeting, in addition to the Agenda, accompanied by the necessary information to facilitate discussion, is sent by the Secretary, on the indication of the Chairperson of each committee, at least 3 (three) days before the date set for the meeting. In cases of urgency, this period may be shorter.

The Chairperson of each committee: (i) provides the documentation reasonably necessary to ensure that committee members are adequately informed of the matters on the Agenda, so that they may act in an informed manner when carrying out their role within the committee. In order to obtain all information necessary to carry out his/her duties, and to perform the functions assigned to the committee, the Chairperson of each committee can access corporate functions and information; s/he may invite to single meetings the Chairperson, the Chief Executive Officer, the other Directors and - by informing the Chief Executive Officer - the representatives of the relevant corporate functions or Company or committee consultants; (ii) s/he chairs the meetings or, in case of absence or impediment, is replaced by a member chosen by those present; (iii) s/he informs the Board of Directors about the activities carried out at the first available meeting.

The meetings of the Committee may be held also through telecommunications, provided that all the participants can be identified and such identification is acknowledged in the minutes of the meeting and that they are allowed to follow and participate in real time in the discussion of the matters considered and exchange documents where required.

Documentation shall be made available to each committee at least 2 (two) calendar days prior to the date of the meeting. This deadline was met and the materials required to adopt the resolutions on the meeting agenda were sent out on time, in accordance with the provisions of Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code. This shall be provided using a shared computer platform with

restricted access that ensures adequate protection of confidentiality of data (see Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code).

Where special confidentiality requirements dictate, the information may be provided within a shorter timeframe or during the meeting, and by means other than those indicated above (for example, by making the information available in hard copy during the meeting).

Committee meetings shall be validly constituted when the majority of the committee's members in office are present.

Committee motions are passed by absolute majority; in the event of a tie, the Chairperson's vote shall prevail.

Meetings of each committee shall be held in the same manner as the Board of Directors meetings.

The Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors (or another Statutory Auditor nominated by him/her) attends committee meetings, while the other Statutory Auditors may also attend.

The decisions taken by each committee are recorded in a brief report in which, among other things, the reasons for any dissent expressed by the members of each committee are noted.

The Chairperson and Secretary of each committee sign the minutes of the meetings, which shall be kept by the Secretary in chronological order, for any consultation needs of the members of the committees themselves, in addition to other Directors and Statutory Auditors.

The Secretary of the Board of Directors shall ensure coordination between the meetings of the various committees and the meetings of the Board itself.

Joint meetings of several committees established within the Board of Directors may also be held.

The committees shall meet, in any case, before each meeting of the Board of Directors whose Agenda includes items falling within its remit, or for which the committee is required to provide an opinion or formulate a proposal.

If, for any reason whatsoever, in the cases mentioned above, at least 3 (three) meetings of the committee are cancelled before the Board of Directors' meeting, the latter may nevertheless deliberate on the matters for which a proposal or opinion of the committee was requested, if this is necessary to comply with the laws and regulations in force at the time.

7. SELF-ASSESSMENT AND SUCCESSION OF DIRECTORS - APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE

7.1 SELF-ASSESSMENT

As per Principle XIV of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors periodically assesses the effectiveness of its activities and the contribution made by its individual members, through formalised procedures whose implementation it oversees.

Specifically, as per Recommendation 22 of the Corporate Governance Code and at least on a quarterly basis (in view of its renewal), the Board of Directors carries out a formal self-assessment process to assess the effectiveness of the activity carried out by the Board of Directors and the Committees, and to express an opinion on the actual functioning, size and composition of the Board as a whole and of any committees, also considering its role in defining strategies and monitoring management performance and the adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.

The self-assessment also considers the contribution made by each Director, taking into account the professional characteristics, experience, knowledge, competence and gender of its members, as well as their seniority in office.

As a result of the self-assessment activity, the Board of Directors identifies any necessary or appropriate corrective actions.

The Chairperson of the Board of Directors shall consider whether it is appropriate for the Company to use outside consultants to perform the self-assessment activity. The self-assessment, when carried out according to internal procedures and without the support of external consultants, unless otherwise established by the Board of Directors, may be carried out by: (i) sending each Director a questionnaire containing a number of questions asking him/her to express an opinion on the size, composition and functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees, with the possibility of providing suggestions or proposals for action; (ii) forwarding the completed questionnaires to the Secretary, who prepares a document summarising the opinions expressed and the suggestions provided, in aggregate and anonymous form; (iii) submission of the summary document to the Board of Directors for the appropriate evaluations and motions.

Since the date Fila shares were admitted to trading on Euronext Milan, the self-assessment has been carried out on an annual basis, although Fila is only obliged to do so every three years as it does not fall within the definition of a "large company other than those with concentrated ownership", pursuant to Recommendation 22 of the Corporate Governance Code.

Most recently during its meeting of March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors carried out its annual assessment, noting the positive opinion resulting from the self-assessment, the correct functioning of the Board of Directors and of the Committees, and on their size and composition, as well the relevant suggestions, also in relation to the criteria of Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.

This assessment process took place in March 2024, related to the Reporting Year, and was undertaken by means of a questionnaire sent to all Board members. The assessment questionnaire prepared by the Company gave everyone an opportunity to freely propose suggestions and comments with the guarantee of anonymity. It was divided into various sections regarding the topics viewed as most important, and in particular: (i) the size, composition and functioning of the Board of Directors, including in terms of attention paid to ESG issues; (ii) the size, composition and functioning of the

After it had been anonymously completed by all Directors, the Board examined its results in the Board meeting of March 14, 2024. For the assessment of its functioning, the Board of Directors did not consider it necessary to avail of external consultants of the Issuer.

The Chairperson, with the help of the Secretary, ensures the adequacy and transparency of this selfassessment process, taking into account the indications given by the Board of Directors and - in particular - by the Independent Directors.

7.2 COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Recommendation 23 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors of Fila is not required to express an opinion on the Board of Directors' quantitative and qualitative composition, as Fila does not fall into the category of "companies other than those with concentrated ownership" outlined in the Corporate Governance Code.

7.3 SUCCESSION OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

At the reporting date, the Company has not formally adopted guidelines for the succession of Executive Directors, in view of the fact that Fila does not qualify as a "large company" within the meaning of the Corporate Governance Code.

On February 13, 2023, the Board of Directors, after examination by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, approved a contingency plan of measures to be adopted in the event of unforeseen events, temporary or permanent disability, death or unplanned absence of the Executive Directors of Fila and of the Group's Senior Executives.

7.4 APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE

The Board of Directors has not currently established an Appointments Committee pursuant to Recommendation 16 of the Corporate Governance Code, since this was not deemed necessary considering the structure of the Group and of the shareholder base of the Issuer.

Specifically - as explained in detail in Section I of the Remuneration Report - the Board of Directors, with the support of the Remuneration Committee, sets out in advance the short- and medium/longterm qualitative and quantitative targets for the Executive Directors to which the variable component of remuneration is linked, in line with the Company's strategic objectives and in order to promote its sustainable success, including, where relevant, non-financial parameters. The Board of Directors regularly checks whether they have been achieved. On the basis of these checks, the Board of Directors, following a recommendation by the Remuneration Committee, determines the portion of compensation accrued for each Executive Director and makes payment.

However, as further detailed in the Remuneration Policy contained in Section I of the 2024 Remuneration Report (p. 37), the Company intends to enter into agreements with Executive Directors that regulate ex ante the financial aspects regarding early termination of employment at the initiative of the Company or the individual upon the occurrence of certain events, based on criteria that will be in line with the relevant benchmarks, without prejudice to its statutory obligations.

9. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - CONTROL, RISKS AND RELATED PARTIES COMMITTEE

9.1 INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Internal Control and Risk Management System is the set of rules, procedures and organisational structures aimed at facilitating, through an adequate process of identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks, a sound and correct management consistent with the established goals and with the Issuer's strategy.

An effective Internal Control and Risk Management System contributes to ensuring the protection of corporate assets, the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations, the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations.

On October 7, 2015, for the purpose of filing an application for the listing Fila's ordinary shares on the Euronext Milan, STAR segment, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.

This system, which was further implemented during the Reporting Year, allows managers to have on a regular and timely basis a sufficient overview of the economic and financial situation and risks of the Company and of the main companies of the Fila Group and soundly and correctly facilitates: (i) the monitoring of the main key performance indicators and risk factors that relate to the Company and to the main Group companies; (ii) the collection of data and information with particular reference to financial information, in adequate quantities for analysis according to type of business activity, organisational complexity and specificity of the information needs of management; and (iii) the development of prospective financial data for the business plan and the budget, as well as for the verification of the meeting of business objectives through an analysis of variances.

The Board of Directors, which guides and evaluates the adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, in the course of 2023, following the opinion of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee:

• (i) monitored the process of implementing the Group Organisational Model, approved by the Board of Directors on May 15, 2020. The Organisational Model seeks to formalise the organisational and governance choices of the main Group companies, defining the central functions of the Group and the functional reporting lines of the various investee companies, thus ensuring organisational uniformity;
• (ii) monitored the progress of adapting the company's Information Systems;
• (iii) adopted the Emergency Succession or "Contingency Plan", which provides for the measures and procedures to be adopted in the event of unforeseen events, temporary or permanent disability, death or unplanned absence of Fila's Executive Directors and Senior Executives.
• (iv) oversaw the definition of the guidelines for the Internal Control and Risk Management System, so as the main risks regarding the Issuer and its subsidiaries (including the risks which may assume importance in terms of sustainability in the medium/long-term period of the activities of the Company) are correctly identified, measured, managed and monitored in line with business management consistent with the identified strategic objectives;

• (v) positively evaluated the compliance of the Internal Control and Risk Management System with the particular characteristics of the Company and the risk profile undertaken, and the efficacy of the System;
• (vi) approved the work plan drawn up by the Internal Audit Manager, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, Luca Pelosin ("Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System");
• (vii) reviewed the main characteristics of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, expressing its assessment on its overall adequacy;
• (viii) evaluated, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors, any observations and suggestions made by the independent audit firm.

In the exercise of these functions, the Board of Directors shall be supported by the Supervisory Director and the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee. With regard to the involvement of the Director In Charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee in the Internal Control and Risk Management System, please see the following paragraphs of this Report.

On July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the guidelines of the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting in compliance with Law 262/05, together with the procedure for collecting the related internal representations on behalf of the companies of the Fila Group.

At its meeting on November 12, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a set of 17 Group policies (Sustainability Policy, Health & Safety Policy, Product & Process Development Policy, Environmental Policy, Human Right & Labour Policy, Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy, Workforce Diversity & Inclusion, Business Development Policy, Responsible Lobbying Practices Policy, Stakeholder Engagement Policy, Responsible Marketing and Communication Policy, Skills Development Policy, Tax Compliance Policy, Energy Saving Policy, Sustainable Procurement Policy, IT System Policy, IT Security Policy).

At the Reporting date, the Company:

9.1.1 Main characteristics of the Internal Control and Risk Management System in relation to the financial disclosure process

One of the main elements of the Internal Control and Risk Management System is the internal control of the process to gather and present financial disclosure. This aims to ensure integrity, accuracy, reliability and timeliness in the preparation and communication of disclosure (including financial).

During the Reporting Year, the Internal Control and Risk Management System was structured and strengthened. This process comprised the following macro-elements:

• preparation and adoption of the contingency plan, approved by the Board of Directors, after examination by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, at the meeting of February 13, 2023;
• review of the updated risk assessment activity, with identification of the main risks, assessment of their gross impact and impact net of the mitigation actions taken; identification of corrective actions, follow-ups and reporting - definition and sharing of corrective actions with the management, assessment of the effective implementation of the same, preparation of reports to the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting and for the supervisory and control bodies;
• updating of Law 262/2005 (the "262 Model") and related documentation, on the basis of corporate, organisational and procedural changes made.

The methodology followed for designing and for carrying out checks concerning the 262 Model were in line with best international practice and shall ensure full traceability in its implementation.

With reference to the identification and assessment of financial disclosure risks, the Issuer carries out its analyses and audit activities on subsidiaries with levels of revenue and balance sheet assets in excess of a threshold of predefined materiality, as well as on the management of intercompany transactions. For qualitative purposes, the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting also evaluates the performance of analyses and audits of other subsidiaries, regardless of their quantitative contribution to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The risks, measured and evaluated according to best practices in the field of international risk assessment, cover the operational processes relating to general accounting entries and the estimates and financial statement declarations, with a view to prevent errors of accuracy and completeness and to prevent fraud. The assessment of the 'inherency' of the risks is qualitative and is performed both with regard to the materiality and the nature of the accounting entries and with regard to the frequency of the operational processes.

In relation to the identification and the assessment of controls for identified risks, the 262 Model considers preventive, investigative and second level controls on processes relating to accounting entries and on the estimates. The assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of controls to mitigate risks shall be qualitative, based on the outcome of the checks carried out in the course of the 262 Model monitoring activities.

The monitoring activities were concentrated on the operational processes relating to the material accounting items, which are identified annually via a preliminary scope analysis. In addition, ad-hoc checks were carried out on activities relating to accounts closures and consolidation entries, which the Company documented and which were allocated in terms of responsibilities and authorised via a dedicated computer program in order to guarantee completeness and accuracy of information.

The Executive Officer for Financial Reporting and the Internal Audit Manager report periodically to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and to the Director in charge and, to the extent of its remit, to the Supervisory Board concerning the management of the 262 Model, expressing an assessment of the adequacy of the administrative and accounting control system and corrective actions to be implemented.

In compliance with Principle XIX and Recommendation 33(a) of the Corporate Governance Code, on August 3, 2023 and March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the changes to the Internal Control and Risk Management System in relation to the requirements of the business, as well as its efficiency, based on the periodic reports prepared by the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, by the Internal Audit Manager, by the Supervisory Board and by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

9.2 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

During the meeting of the Board of Directors of April 27, 2021, Executive Director Luca Pelosin was appointed Director in charge of the creation and maintenance of an effective Internal Control and Risk Management System, based on the powers and functions assigned to him with regard to internal audit and risk management and on the specific skills he possesses.

As set out in Recommendation 34(a) of the Corporate Governance Code, the Director in Charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System identified the main corporate risks, taking into account the specific features of the activities carried out by the Issuer and its subsidiaries, and periodically submitted the results of these assessments to the Board of Directors.

The activity of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Internal Audit activity undertaken in the Reporting Year enabled the Director in charge to maintain a suitable level of updating of the principal risks relating to the main business processes of the Group, taking into account the activities undertaken by the Company. These risks were brought to the attention of the Board of Directors, through the periodic reports prepared by the Internal Audit Manager.

With specific reference to Recommendation 34(d) of the Corporate Governance Code, Luca Pelosin also promptly reported to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and to the Board of Directors with regards to problems and critical issues emerging during the execution of his activities or of which he became aware, so as to ensure that the Committee and the Board of Directors were able to take appropriate action.

Based on the results of the risk assessment updating activities undertaken by the Company, where necessary, the procedural framework was updated and changes were made to the internal control system, including on the basis of checks on its overall compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements and an efficient and effective system in line with operating conditions (see Recommendation 34(b) of the Corporate Governance Code).

As per Recommendation 34(c) of the Corporate Governance Code, Luca Pelosin has the power to request to the external Internal Audit Manager the undertaking of verifications on specific operational areas and on the compliance of internal procedures and rules in the execution of business operations, simultaneously communicating such to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and to the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

During the meeting of February 13, 2024, the Board of Directors, with the support of the Director in charge and the Internal Audit Manager, and after consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors, approved the 2024 audit plan.

9.5 ORGANISATION MODEL PURSUANT TO LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 231/2001

9.5.1 The Organisational Model

At the meeting of July 22, 2015, the Board of Directors resolved to adopt, as per Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, the 231/01 Model. This comprises : (i) the General Section, (ii) the Ethics Code, (iii) the Special Sections, (iv) the Disciplinary System, (v) the Preventive Protocols, (vi) the List of Relevant Crimes, (vii) the Map, and (viii) the Supervisory Board Regulation

On July 18, 2017, August 3, 2018, February 21, 2020, March 16, 2021 and November 14, 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to update the 231/01 Model in order to include new criminal offences among the "predicate offences", in accordance with the changes made to the applicable legal provisions.

The 231/01 Model provides for policies and measures to guarantee the performance of activities in accordance with law and to identify and eliminate situations of risk, as well as for a system of prevention designed to mitigate offence risk that is consistent with the organisational structure and with best practice.

In particular, the Special Sections clarify the nature and the possible ways of committing the types of relevant offences identified in the risk areas, as well as the specific organisational controls implemented to prevent their commission.

On March 16, 2021, the Board of Directors also approved an update to the Ethics Code, which is an integral part of the 231/01 Model. The Ethics Code establishes ethical principles and prescriptive rules of conduct for employees and other recipients, contributing to the creation of an appropriate control environment to ensure that the Issuer's activity is always based on the principles of fairness and transparency, and to reduce the risk of the offences covered under Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. The Ethics Code is available on the Issuer's website (www.filagroup.it) in the "Governance" section.

The 231/01 Model introduces an adequate system and sanctioning mechanisms for conduct in violation.

On adopting the 231/01 Model, the Board of Directors appointed a Supervisory Board within the Issuer, which has independent powers of initiative and control, with the task of (i) monitoring the effectiveness of the model, which is embodied in the verification of consistency between actual conduct and the model established; (ii) conducting the examination of the adequacy of the model, or rather its real capacity to prevent, in principle, undesirable conduct; (iii) carrying out an analysis of the maintenance over time of the soundness and functionality of the Model; (iv) ensuring the necessary dynamic update of the Model, through the formulation of specific suggestions, in the event that analyses performed require corrections and adjustments; and (v) carrying out the so-called "follow-up", or rather verifying the implementation and the functionality of the solutions proposed.

On April 27, 2021, the Board of Directors resolved to appoint, until approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2023, and confirming its previous composition, a Supervisory Board of three members, in the persons of Mr. Perroni, as an external member and Chairperson, of Mr. La Rocca, as an external member, and Mr. Rigo, as an external member and Internal Audit Manager. On the same occasion, the Board of Directors acknowledged that Mr. Rigo, acting as Internal Audit

Manager, guarantees an adequate flow of information regarding the activities of the Supervisory Board.

On March 14, 2024, a periodic report was presented to the Board of Directors on the controls and checks performed in the Reporting Year and their outcome.

The Supervisory Board met 5 (five) times during the Reporting Year, on March 27, May 15, June 16, July 24, and December 1, in addition to carrying out specific verification and monitoring activities in application of the annual work plan.

9.5.2 Whistleblowing System pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 24/2023

On August 6, 2019, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Supervisory Board, approved the procedure for employees to report any irregularities or violations of applicable regulations and internal procedures (the whistleblowing system) in line with national and international best practices, which guarantees a specific and confidential information channel and the anonymity of the reporting party.

Legislative Decree No. 24/2023 concerning "Implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 23, 2019, on the protection of persons who report breaches of EU law and on provisions concerning the protection of persons who report breaches of national laws", published in Official Gazette No. 63 on March 15, 2023, required FILA to apply the new whistleblowing management methods introduced into Legislative Decree No. 231/01 by Article 2 of Law No. 179/2017 from December 17, 2023 onwards.

The internal whistleblowing channels opened by FILA have complied with Article 4 of Legislative Decree No. 24/2023 since that date. By navigating to the home page of the internal whistleblowing channel via https://fila.whistlelink.com, the whistleblower

• has access to clear and comprehensive information on the whistleblowing regulation, in addition to guidelines on how to submit an internal report and monitor its status.
• can fill out a form, entering information about the report to be submitted in writing. Alternatively, the whistleblower may provide a verbal report by submitting an audio recording.

Reference should be made to Annex 1 to the General Section of the Model, which describes and governs the whistleblowing system for employees, collaborators, and third parties.

Reports will be verified, including through the use of company departments or external consultants. If the only evidence to support the reported fact is the whistleblower's own word, the SB will ask the latter for authorisation to forward it to the relevant company departments or the competent authorities.

9.6 INDEPENDENT AUDIT FIRM

The Issuer's independent audit firm is KPMG S.p.A. The Shareholders' Meeting of February 20, 2015 assigned the remit for the legal audit of the Company's separate and consolidated financial statements to KPMG S.p.A - following a proposal by the Board of Statutory Auditors - for a duration of 9 (nine) financial years (i.e. until the approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2023). Therefore, the Company's financial statements and the Group's consolidated financial statements for the Reporting Year will still be audited by KPMG S.p.A.

On January 22, 2024, to facilitate the handover between the outgoing and incoming auditor, the Shareholders' Meeting – having examined the proposal by the Board of Statutory Auditors containing its recommendation as the Internal Control and Audit Committee – resolved to appoint the independent audit firm Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. as the Issuer's independent auditor for the 2024- 2032 financial years, subject to causes of early termination.

9.7 EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

In accordance with Article 16 of the By-Laws, the Board of Directors appoints, upon obligatory approval of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting pursuant to Article 154-bis of the CFA, providing him/her with adequate means and powers to carry out the role.

On December 2, 2022, following the resignation of Mr. Stefano De Rosa, the Board of Directors, on the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved, with effect from the effective date of the termination of the employment relationship with Fila (i.e. February 6, 2023), to appoint Mr. Cristian Nicoletti as the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting. On the same occasion, the Board of Directors, having assessed the professional skills and experience of Mr. Cristian Nicoletti, at Fila since 2006, and currently Group Reporting & Business Analysis VP of the Group, considered that Mr. Cristian Nicoletti was the natural and most suitable candidate to fill this role, in addition to being in possession of the necessary regulatory, statutory and legal requirements.

The certificate will be issued using the model laid down in the Consob Regulation;
• (iv) signing the documentation, producing attestations and carrying out all the activities and tasks laid down in the laws and regulations in force at any relevant time.

The Board of Directors assigned to the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting upon appointment all the necessary powers and means for the execution of duties in accordance with Article 154-bis and subsequent of the CFA, in addition to all applicable regulations. These powers include:

• (i) full access to all information considered relevant for the execution of duties, within both the Company and the Group;

Management System, such as the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting, the Supervisory Board (of which Massimiliano Rigo is a member) and the independent audit firm, each within their own remit and responsibility;

• (iii) the participation of the Internal Audit Manager at the meetings of the Supervisory Board and the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee permits the Internal Audit department to maintain adequate visibility over the business risks within the Group and of problems arising and to bring them to the attention to the different supervisory and oversight functions;
• (iv) the Board of Statutory Auditors maintains periodic communication with the Board of Directors and the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee.

11. BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

11.1 APPOINTMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

In accordance with Article 17 of the By-Laws as amended by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors comprises 3 (three) Statutory Auditors and 2 (two) Alternate Auditors, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of slates presented by shareholders.

Slates for the election of Statutory Auditors may be presented by shareholders who, at the time of presentation of the slate, hold - alone or together with other shareholders - a shareholding that is at least equal to that determined by Consob in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (11). Ownership of the minimum shareholding is determined according to the shares that are registered in favour of the shareholder on the day in which the slates are filed with the Issuer; certification can also be presented subsequent to the filing provided that it is within the deadline for the publication of the slates.

The slates are filed at the registered office in accordance with the methods and the deadlines established and with applicable law. The slates must be made available to the public in accordance with the manner and terms established and with current regulations.

The slates must include the names of one or more candidates for the position of Statutory Auditor and one or more candidates for the position of Alternate Auditor. The names of the candidates are divided between each section (Statutory Auditors section, Alternate Auditors section) by progressive numbering and in any event with a number not exceeding the Board members to be elected. The slates, if they contain, in both sections, a number of candidates equal to or greater than 3 (three), must contain a number of candidates in both sections to ensure that the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, both for Statutory Auditors and Alternate Auditors, complies with the legal and regulatory provisions that are in force in relation to gender equality (male and female), provided that if the application of the criterion for the gender equality quota does not result in a full number, this should be rounded to the next unit.

The following documents must be attached to each slate, at the risk of ineligibility: (i) information on the identity of shareholders who have presented them, with an indication of the total percentage of shares held; (ii) a declaration by shareholders other than those who hold, even jointly, a controlling or majority shareholding, attesting to the absence of any relationship with these latter in accordance with applicable law; (iii) detailed information about the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates, as well as a declaration by the candidates certifying that they meet the statutory requirements, and acceptance of the candidature, accompanied by a list of administrative and control positions held with other companies; (iv) any additional or differing declaration, information, and/or documents provided for by applicable law and regulations.

Individual Shareholders, shareholders belonging to the same group or members of a shareholder agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the CFA, may not present or be involved in the presentation, even through nominees or trust companies, of more than one slate or vote on other slates; in addition, each candidate may only be present on one slate, at the risk of being declared ineligible.

^{( 11}) Pursuant to Article 144-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, by Executive Resolution No. 44 of January 29, 2021, Consob set the shareholding required for the presentation of the slates of candidates at 2.5% of share capital.

In the case where only 1 (one) slate is filed at the expiry date of the term for presentation of the slates, or slates are only presented by related shareholders pursuant to the applicable directives, slates can be presented up to the third day subsequent to such date. In this case, the percentage threshold established for the presentation of the slate is reduced by half.

The Statutory Auditors are elected as follows: (i) from the slate that obtained the largest number of votes (Majority Slate) taken in the progressive order in which they appear in the slate, 2 (two) Statutory Auditors and 1 (one) Alternate Auditor; (ii) from the slate that obtained the second largest number of votes and are not connected, even indirectly, with the shareholders who presented or voted for the Majority Slate in accordance with the applicable provisions and taken in the progressive order in which they appear on the slate, the third Statutory Auditor will be chosen (Minority Statutory Auditor), who will chair the Board of Statutory Auditors, and the second Alternate Auditor (Minority Alternate Auditor). Should two slates receive the same number of votes, a second vote of the entire Shareholders' Meeting shall decide, with the candidate being elected by means of a simple majority of the votes.

Where the result of voting does not satisfy the applicable gender balance law and regulations in force (including the rounding up down to the next unit if the application of the criterion for the gender equality quota does not result in a full number), the candidate for the office of Statutory or Alternate Auditor from the over-represented gender elected as last in progressive order from the Majority Slate will be excluded and will be replaced by the next candidate for the office of Statutory or Alternate Auditor from the same slate belonging to the other gender.

Where only one slate is presented, the Shareholders' Meeting will vote on that slate and, where this slate receives the majority of the votes, all the Statutory Auditors and Alternate Auditors will be taken from this slate in accordance with applicable law and regulations, including the gender equality regulations (which includes rounding down where necessary in relation to the under-represented gender).

Statutory Auditors are appointed for a period of (3) three years (and may be re-elected), which concludes on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of the financial statements relating to the final year in office.

Subject to compliance with legal and regulatory provisions relating to gender equality in the cases where, for whatever reason, (i) the Majority Slate Statutory Auditor resigns, this office shall fall to the Alternate Auditor from the Majority Slate, (ii) the Minority Statutory Auditor resigns, this latter is replaced by the Minority Alternate Auditor. If, for whatever reason, it is not possible to proceed as indicated above, the Shareholders' Meeting must be called in order to supplement the Board of Statutory Auditors through statutory majority, without the application of slate voting, subject to compliance with the applicable law and regulations in relation to the gender equality quotas.

In the absence of slates, or where it is not possible for any reason to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors with the procedures provided for in this Article, the three Statutory Auditors and the two Alternate Auditors will be appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting through the majority provided for by law, in accordance with the laws and regulations in force also in relation to the gender equality quota (including the rounding down to the next unit if the application of the criterion for the gender equality quota does not result in a full number).

Pursuant to Article 18 of the By-Laws, the Board of Statutory Auditors meets at the initiative of any of the Statutory Auditors. The Board of Statutory Auditors may also be convened without indicating in the call notice a specific physical location for the meeting, in which case the participants shall speak exclusively by means of remote telecommunications. The meeting shall be validly constituted with the presence of a quorum of Statutory Auditors and shall resolve on the basis of an absolute majority of those present.

Meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors may be held, including exclusively by audio or video conference, provided that: (i) the principles of good faith and of equal treatment of Directors are upheld (ii) the Chairperson of the meeting is able to verify the identity and the legitimacy of the participants, direct the proceedings of the meeting and witness and announce the results of the vote; (iii) the person taking the minutes is able to adequately observe the events of the meeting that is to be minuted; (iv) the participants are able to follow the discussion and vote simultaneously on the matters on the Agenda, in addition to view, receive or transmit documents. If a physical call location is opted for, the meeting is deemed to be held in the place where the person taking the minutes is present. It is understood that the Chairperson and the person taking the minutes may be in different locations.

The Board of Statutory Auditors met 13 times during the Reporting Year, on the following dates: January 27, February 13, February 22, March 17, March 24, March 30, May 15, June 7, July 18, July 25, October 17, November 10 and December 12.

The meetings were appropriately minuted. The average duration of Board of Statutory Auditors meetings was approximately 135 minutes.

In 2024, in addition to the 4 (four) Board of Statutory Auditors meetings already held on January 22, February 13, March 4 and March 19, at least 2 (two) more Board of Statutory Auditors meetings are planned before the end of its term of office, coinciding with the approval of the 2023 financial statements by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 23, 2024.

During the Reporting Year, given a total attendance level of 100%, the attendance of each Statutory Auditor was respectively equal to: (i) 100% for Gianfranco Consorti, (ii) 100% for Pietro Villa, and (iii) 100% for Sonia Ferrero.

At the meeting held on February 24, 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed that the requirements of professionalism, competence, good standing and independence required by the regulations and by the Corporate Governance Code were met. It also completed its self-assessment process, during which it noted that it was suited to performing the task entrusted to it, deeming its composition to be well balanced, with specific reference to the characteristics of experience, gender composition and age of its members. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors also confirmed that they have the time and suitable resources to dedicate to the performance of the office in the Company. The outcome of these assessments was subsequently sent to the Board of Directors and communicated to the market.

The self-assessment process was then repeated on April 27, 2021, following the new appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors by the Shareholders' Meeting and, subsequently, on February 14, 2022, February 22, 2023 and March 4, 2024. The outcome of these assessments was positive and was subsequently sent to the Board of Directors and communicated to the market.

In carrying out the above independence assessments, all the information made available by each member of the Board of Statutory Auditors was taken into account, as provided for in

Recommendation 9 of the Corporate Governance Code, in view of all the circumstances that might appear to compromise independence identified by the CFA and the Code (see Recommendation 6, as referred to in Recommendation 9). All the criteria laid down in the Code on the independence of Directors were applied (Recommendation 7, as referred to in Recommendation 9).

The Board of Statutory Auditors reviewed and continues to review the independence of the audit firm, ensuring compliance with regulatory provisions, and the nature and extent of the various services provided to the Issuer and its subsidiaries by the independent audit firm and its network of firms.

The Board of Statutory Auditors constantly maintained ordinary coordination activities with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Internal Audit Department and the Supervisory Board. For information on the manner of the coordination, reference should be made to Paragraph 9.8 of this Report.

Legislative Decree No. 39/2010 ("Implementation of EU Directive No. 43/2006, relating to the audit of separate and consolidated annual accounts, which modifies EU Directive 78/660 and EU Directive 83/349, and which revokes EU Directive 84/253) attributed to the Board of Statutory Auditors the functions of the Internal Control and Audit Committee and, in particular the oversight functions on (i) the financial disclosure process; (ii) the efficiency of the Internal Control System, internal audit, where applicable, and risk management; (iii) the audit of the separate and consolidated annual accounts; and (iv) the independence of the audit firm, in particular in relation to non-audit services by the party providing audit services.

For the entire duration of the admission to trading of the Company's shares on an Italian regulated market, the Board of Statutory Auditors in addition exercises all other duties and powers established by the special laws; with regards to mandatory reporting, the Directors are required to report on a quarterly basis, in accordance with Article 150 of the CFA.

The Chairperson of the Board of Directors ensured that the Statutory Auditors received adequate information on the sector in which the Issuer operates, on the business operations and their performances, of the principles of correct risk management as well as the relative regulatory framework. Specifically, during the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Statutory Auditors regularly received detailed information on the sector in which the Issuer undertakes its activities, in order to fully understand the underlying business operations and the relative developments during the year.

The remuneration of the Statutory Auditors shall be commensurate with the commitment required, the importance of the role covered, and the size and sector of the company. The Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021 set the annual gross compensation of the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors at Euro 40,000, and the annual gross compensation of each Statutory Auditor at Euro 30,000. The Issuer has not provided a specific obligation for the Statutory Auditors to promptly inform the other members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Chairperson of the Board on the nature, terms, origin and size of their interest, where the Statutory Auditor have - on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties - an interest in a transaction of the Issuer.

In this regard, the Issuer believes that the disclosure obligation is a moral duty for all members of the supervisory body.

In compliance with the By-Laws, during the Reporting Year the Chief Executive Officer, together with the Executive Director, made adequate, timely reports to the Board of Statutory Auditors on the

activities carried out, on the operating performance and on the outlook, as well as - on a quarterly basis - on the most significant transactions carried out by the Issuer and its subsidiaries, with regard to their size and characteristics, as set out by the applicable laws and By-Laws.

The Company has not formally adopted diversity policies on the composition of the control bodies, with specific reference to aspects such as age, gender competition and education and professional background. In this regard, with regard to the provision of Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, point d-bis of the CFA, on the subject of diversity policies applied to the administrative, management and supervisory bodies, the Board of Directors, at the meeting held on March 20, 2019, decided not to adopt any policy. Firstly, it considered the provisions of the By-Laws, legislation and regulations to be wholly sufficient and, secondly, the principles of diversification in terms of age and professional background were already followed, de facto, in the appointment of Statutory Auditors in order to guarantee a balanced composition of the body.

With regard to gender diversity in particular, Law No. 160 of December 27, 2019 amended, inter alia, Article 148 of the CFA, introducing a new allocation criterion requiring at least two-fifths of the control body (as opposed to the previous one-third) to be of the under-represented gender for six consecutive terms. This new allocation criterion applies with effect from the first renewal of control bodies after January 1, 2020.

For completeness, it should be noted that, by means of Resolution No. 21359 of May 13, 2020, in line with Consob Communication No. 1/2020 of January 30, 2020, Consob amended Article 114 undecies.1, paragraph 3, of the Issuers' Regulation, specifying that in boards composed of 3 standing members, the component of the under-represented gender referred to in the new wording of Article 148 of the CFA will be calculated by applying the general criterion of rounding down to the lower unit and not the criterion of rounding up to the higher unit.

In this regard, we note that, at the date of this Report, one third of the Statutory Auditors of the Board of Statutory Auditors was made up by the under-represented gender. The current composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors therefore complies with the previous and current wording of the allocation criteria of Article 148, paragraph 1-bis of the CFA and with the recommendations set out in Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.

In the financial year, there were no cases in which a member of the supervisory body was obliged to inform the Company of a personal or third-party interest in a specific company transaction.

12. RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

The disclosure upon relations with shareholders is ensured by the prompt and constant publication of the most relevant corporate documents on the Issuer's website www.filagroup.it in the "Investors" and "Governance" sections and, where required by the applicable regulations, in the authorised storage mechanism at "eMarket Storage" .

More specifically, the Issuer's website contains all press releases issued to the market and - following their approval by the competent corporate bodies - all the Issuer's periodic accounting documents (i.e. Annual Financial Report, Half-Year Financial Report, Interim Report). In addition, the main documents on Group Governance are available on the Company website.

On December 2, 2022, the Board of Directors appointed Cristian Nicoletti as Investor Relator Officer of Fila (contact: ir@fila.it), for the maintenance of relations with shareholders and institutional investors and to undertake any specific tasks for the management of price sensitive information and relations with Consob and Borsa Italiana.

On November 12, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved, at the proposal of and in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, the Shareholder Communication Policy prepared on the basis of the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, national and international best practices, and engagement policies adopted by institutional investors and asset managers (see Recommendation 3 of the Corporate Governance Code).

The Shareholder Communication Policy governs (i) the policy's purpose and scope; (ii) the corporate bodies and organisational structures responsible for communication with shareholders and other stakeholders, (iii) the communication tools and procedures; (iv) the topics, contents and timeframes for communication with shareholders and other stakeholders, and (v) the procedures for amending and updating the policy and the contact details of the Investor Relator and the IR Function to whom requests for communication with the Company should be addressed.

In carrying out his/her activities, the Investor Relator Officer is assisted by his/her own staff (the IR Function), and their details are included in the Shareholder Communication Policy.

The main topics discussed in the conferences and meetings with shareholders during the Reporting Year are set out below:

• the company's performance in the various geographic regions in which it operates, specifically the United States and Europe;
• the process of enhancing the subsidiary Doms Industries Limited;
• the performance of the EBITDA and EBITDA margin, financial expenses, and working capital;
• cash generation and the progress of the net financial position.

Furthermore, stakeholders engagement activities continued in the Reporting Year, as in the previous year, with a series of meetings focused on environmental, social and governance issues. Specifically, during the Reporting Year, stakeholder engagement activities involved administering direct questionnaires to suppliers on green procurement practices and their adherence to codes of conduct,

and to employees on the topics of sustainability and well-being, in addition to the hosting of a roundtable discussion with the local community

The Shareholder Communication Policy is available in the "Governance" section of the Issuer's website (www.filagroup.it).

13.2 RIGHT TO ATTEND SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

As per Article 10 of the By-Laws, those with voting rights have a right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting.

The right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting and the right to vote is verified by a notice to the Company, effected by the authorised intermediary in accordance with law, based on the accounting records at the end of the seventh trading day prior to the date fixed for the Shareholders' Meeting in single call, and submitted to the Company in accordance with law.

Those who have the right to vote in the Shareholders' Meeting can be represented by a proxy in accordance with law. Electronic notification of proxy may be made, in the manner indicated in the call notice, by sending a message addressed to the certified email address indicated in the notice itself or by using the appropriate section of the Company's website.

We note that for the Shareholders' Meeting on April 21, 2023, the Company decided to utilise the option under Article 106, paragraph 4, of Decree-Law No. 18 of March 17, 2020 on "Measures to strengthen the National Health System and economic support for families, workers and businesses related to the COVID-19 epidemiological emergency", converted into law with amendments by Law No. 27 of April 24, 2020 (the "Italian Healthcare" Decree-Law), whose application was most recently extended to Shareholders' Meetings to be held by December 31, 2024 by Article 11, paragraph 2, of Law No. 21 of March 5, 2024, concerning "Interventions to bolster capital competitiveness and authorisation for the Government to undertake comprehensive reform of the regulations pertaining to capital markets outlined in the Consolidated Law referred to in Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998, in addition to regulations concerning joint-stock companies, as stipulated in the Civil Code, which also apply to issuers". Specifically, it was envisaged that (i) the shareholders entitled to vote could only attend the Shareholders' Meeting through Monte Titoli S.p.A., with registered office at Piazza degli Affari 6, 20123, Milan, as Appointed Representative pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the CFA and Article 10.4 of the By-Laws (the "Appointed Representative" or "Monte Titoli"), and (ii) the other persons entitled to attend (e.g. members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, representatives of the Independent Audit Firm and Group Executives) could only participate in the Shareholders' Meeting by telecommunication that would guarantee the identification of the participants, without, in any case, the need for the Chairperson of the Meeting and the Secretary taking the minutes to be in the same place.

13.3 PROCEDURES FOR SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

The Shareholders' Meeting shall be chaired by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or in such absence or impediment or at the request of the Chairperson him/herself, by another person elected by the Shareholders' Meeting, including the Chief Executive Officer (if elected). The Chairperson shall be assisted by a Secretary elected on his/her proposal by majority of those present. In the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting and, in any case, when the Chairperson considers it appropriate, the functions of the Secretary shall be carried out by a Notary appointed by the Chairperson.

For the valid constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting, both ordinary and extraordinary, and motions thereof, the legal and statutory provisions are applied. For the purposes of the quorum required by law and the present By-Laws for the constitution of the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting for the validity of the relative motions, reference is made to the number of votes attached to the shares and not to the number of shares.

The Shareholders' Meeting takes place in single call.

The Shareholders' Meeting may be held, where permitted by applicable law and also exclusively, in several locations, via audio/video link, on the condition that a collective approach is taken and the principles of good faith and of equal treatment of shareholders are upheld and, in particular, provided that: (a) the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting may (i) ascertain, including through specially appointed parties, the identity and right to attend of all present, (ii) govern the business of the meeting, in addition to (iii) verify and declare the voting results; (b) the minutes-taker is able to adequately note all the matters pertaining to the Shareholders' Meeting; (c) attendees are able to participate in the discussions and vote simultaneously on the matters on the Agenda; (d) this method is contained in the call notice.

Pursuant to Article 7 of the By-Laws, shareholders may withdraw in accordance with the mandatory cases provided for by law.

The opposition of Shareholders to motions regarding the extension of the duration of the Company or the introduction or the removal of provisions concerning the circulation of shares does not constitute a right to withdrawal. The liquidation value of the shares is determined in accordance with Article 2437-ter of the Civil Code.

As per Article 20 of the By-Laws, the net profit for the period, excluding the 5% share allocated to the legal reserve until the reaching of one-fifth of the share capital, is divided among the shareholders, as resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

* * *

The Shareholders' Meeting of the Issuer adopted the Shareholders' Meeting regulation approved on October 15, 2013 by the Shareholders' Meeting of Space (available on the Company's website at (www.filagroup.it) in the "Governance" section). This Shareholders' Meeting Regulation establishes, among other matters, that:

• (i) the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or, in his/her absence or impediment the person designated by the Shareholders' Meeting) may adopt any provision considered appropriate to ensure the correct execution of Shareholders' Meeting business and the exercise of the rights of participants;
• (ii) the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting conducts the discussion, giving the floor to Directors, to Statutory Auditors and any parties so requesting. Those holding the right to vote and the bondholders' joint representative may request the floor on only one occasion for each matter on the agenda, making observations and requesting information. Those persons entitled to vote may also draw up proposals. Requests to contribute may be made from the constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting until the time at which the Chairperson of the Shareholders'

Meeting declares the discussion of the matter closed. In order to ensure the orderly conduct of the meeting, the Chairperson has the power to determine, at the opening of or during the discussion of individual matters, a deadline for the submission of requests to contribute. The Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting establishes the manner in which contribution requests are made and the order in which they are heard. The Chairperson of the Shareholders' Assembly and, on his/her invitation, those assisting him/her respond to speakers at the end of all contributions under discussion, or after each contribution, taking account also of any questions drawn up by shareholders before the Shareholders' Meeting, which have not been responded to by the Company. Those who have requested the floor have the right to a brief reply;

• (iii) before voting commences, the Chairperson readmits to the Shareholders' Meeting any persons excluded during the discussion in accordance with the regulation; and
• (iv) the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting shall decide the order in which the proposals on the individual matters on the Agenda are put to the vote, generally giving priority to those formulated by the Board of Directors.

1 (one) Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting was held in the Reporting Year, on April 21, 2023. 6 (six) Directors and 3 (three) Statutory Auditors participated.

The Board of Directors reported to the Shareholders' Meeting on the activities carried out and planned at the Shareholders' Meetings and endeavour to ensure shareholders had all necessary information so that they could take, with sufficient knowledge, the decisions within the authority of a Shareholders' Meeting.

Specifically, the Board of Directors published the reports on the various items included in the Agenda, which were drawn up pursuant to Article 125-ter of the CFA and subsequent amendments and supplements, and Article 84-ter of the Issuers' Regulation.

The Board did not deem it necessary to draw up proposals to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting with regard to (i) the choice and characteristics of the corporate model; (ii) the size, composition and appointment of the Board and the term of office of its members; (iii) the structure of administrative and financial rights pertaining to the shares; (iv) the percentages established for the exercise of the prerogatives for the protection of minorities, since it believes that the Issuer's and the Group's corporate governance system is in line with the Company's needs.

The Shareholders' Meeting of April 21, 2023, as per government measures to contain COVID-19 (in particular, Article 106, Paragraphs 2 and 4 of the so-called "Italian Healthcare" Decree-Law) was held:

• (v) with those entitled to vote participating in the Shareholders' Meeting solely through Monte Titoli - as the Company's Appointed Representative pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the CFA- to which shareholders could grant proxies or sub-delegations pursuant to Article 135 novies of the CFA or proxies pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the CFA, all bearing voting instructions;
• (vi) excluding access to the meeting location by shareholders or delegates other than Monte Titoli.

Ahead of the mentioned Shareholders' Meeting, Pencil, the controlling shareholder, submitted its proposal to supplement the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors well in advance, proposing the appointment of Sonia Ferrero as Statutory Auditor, and Gianna Luzzati as Alternate Auditor.

The Shareholders' Meeting was held in the presence, including remotely through mechanisms identifying participants and their attendance, of the permitted attendees (i.e. the members of the Company's management and supervisory bodies, in addition to the Company's Appointed Representative pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the CFA). The Chairperson and the Secretary taking the minutes were not present in the same place.

With regards to the rights of shareholders not outlined in this Report, reference should be made to the applicable pro tempore laws and regulations.

14. FURTHER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

On August 6, 2019, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Supervisory Board, approved the procedure for employees to report any irregularities or violations of applicable regulations and internal procedures (the whistleblowing system).

For information on the whistleblowing system adopted by the Company, reference should be made to the preceding Paragraph 9.5.2. of this Report.

Except where indicated above, at the date of this Report, no additional corporate governance practices effectively applied by the Issuer outside of the obligations established by legislation or regulations exist.

15. CHANGES SINCE THE END OF THE REPORTING YEAR

Since the end of the Reporting Year no changes have been made to the corporate governance structure.

16. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LETTER OF DECEMBER 14, 2023 OF THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

At the meetings of February 13, 2024, the letter sent by the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors on December 14, 2023 was brought to the attention of the Board of Directors. It had previously been brought to the attention of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

The same recommendations were taken into consideration during the self-assessment carried out by the Board of Directors to verify adherence to the Corporate Governance Code. This also aimed to identify possible improvement in the areas with respect to which the Corporate Governance Committee has urged improved compliance to the recommendations contained in the aforementioned Corporate Governance Code.

Business Plan

During the meeting on March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors examined and approved the 2024 - 2028 Business Plan, discussing issues relevant to long-term value generation.

Pre-Board information

On May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the Board of Directors and Committees Regulations (available in the "Governance" section of the Company's website (www.filagroup.it), which provides specific deadlines for sending Board documents. For more information on the Board of Directors and Committees Regulation, please see Section 4.4.1 of this Report, above.

During the self-assessment process for the 2023 financial year, completed on March 14, 2024, the Directors ascertained that this deadline was generally respected during the financial year and that there were no cases of particular or extraordinary urgency that justified any derogation from the ordinary deadlines for sending the documentation.

Guidelines on optimal composition

Considering that Fila is a "concentrated ownership company", during the board review process conducted on March 14, 2024, and in view of the renewal of the corporate bodies, the Board of Directors did not consider it necessary to adopt its own guidance on its optimal composition, as it is not obliged to do so.

Multi-voting rights

As highlighted in Paragraph 2.1.1. of this Report, the Company has not adopted the increased voting mechanism, nor has there been any request to introduce it by the current Board of Directors.

Please refer to the contents of Paragraph 2.1.1. of this Report for references to B-shares with multiple voting rights.

The recommendations were also submitted to the Board of Statutory Auditors, to the extent of its remit, and discussed in the internal Committees.
