Introduction

Based on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, the Fincantieri Board of Directors, by resolution of 24 March 2025, approved the Performance Share Plan 2025-2027" addressed to the Company's management for the three-year period 2025-2027, to be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements on 31 December 2024.

The Plan provides for the Beneficiaries of Rights to receive up to a maximum of 9,700,000 Fincantieri ordinary shares with no par value, free of charge, in order to reach specific Performance Targets.

The Plan envisages three assignment of Rights in the years 2025 (for the 1st Cycle 2025-2027), 2026 (for the 2nd Cycle 2026-2028) and 2027 (for the 3rd Cycle 2027-2029).

The allocation of Shares, for each of the three Cycles, shall be made on the basis of the achievement of specific Performance Targets.

This Information Document has been drafted pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and Article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and in accordance with the instructions contained in Schedule 7 of Appendix 3A of the Issuers' Regulation. As better specified in this Information Document, certain aspects relating to the implementation of the Plan will be defined by the Board of Directors on the basis of the powers that will be granted to it by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The information resulting from the resolutions that the Board of Directors shall adopt in the implementation of the Plan, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting and in accordance with the general criteria set forth therein, shall be provided in the manner and within the terms indicated in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations and, in any case, in the regulatory provisions in force from time to time.

The purpose of this Information Document is to provide shareholders and the market with ample and detailed information on the Plan, also for the purpose of enabling shareholders to exercise their voting rights at the Shareholders' Meeting in an informed manner.

The Information Document is made available to the public at the registered office, on the Company's website (www.fincantieri.com, Governance & Ethics / Shareholders' Meeting 2025), as well as in the other ways and according to the terms provided for by the regulatory provision in force.

The Plan is to be considered "of particular relevance" within the meaning of Article 114-bis, paragraph 3 of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and Article 84-bis, paragraph 2, letters a) and b) of the Issuers' Regulations.

1. Beneficiaries

The Beneficiaries may vary for each of the three Plan Cycles and during each Plan Cycle. The participation of a Beneficiary in one Plan Cycle does not determine any obligation on the part of the Board of Directors to identify them as a Beneficiary in one of the following Cycles. The Board of Directors has full discretion in having a Beneficiary participate in even one or multiple Plan Cycles.

The Board of Directors, having consulted with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, and on the basis of the indications of the Chief Executive Officer, may

change the perimeter of the Beneficiaries during each Plan Cycle, even after the Grant Date, in the case of managers hired/no longer in office or appointed to hold key positions after that date or with a directorship arising/terminating after that date during the period of validity of the Plan.

For the purposes of participation in the Plan, with reference to each Cycle:

1.2 Indication of the categories of employees or collaborators of the Company and its controlling company or subsidiaries who are recipients of the Plan

In addition to what set forth in paragraph 1.3 below, the Beneficiaries of the Plan may also be identified by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, and on the basis of the indications of the Chief Executive Officer, from among the following persons:

the Company's Executives with Strategic Responsibilities;

  • other Company Key Executives other than the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities;
  • other key resources identified for incentive and retention purposes by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, on the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer.

1.3 Indication of the names of the general managers and of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities who have received a higher total remuneration during the financial year than the highest total remuneration attributed to the members of the Board of Directors and the General Managers

For information on Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other categories of employees included among the Beneficiaries, see section 1.2 above.

It should be noted that the Plan is the same for all Beneficiaries and may differ:

  • in the maximum percentage of the Rights to be assigned with respect to the gross annual remuneration of each Beneficiary (Section 2.3);
  • in the different lock-up period provided for the different beneficiaries (Section 4.6).

2 Reasons for adopting the Plan

2.1 Objectives of the Plan

The Plan aims to pursue the following objectives:

  • i. improve the alignment of the interests of the Beneficiaries with those of the shareholders, linking the remuneration of management to specific performance targets, the achievement of which is closely linked to the improvement of the Company's performance and to the growth of its value in the long term;
  • ii. support the retention of key resources by aligning the Company's Remuneration Policy to the best market practices, which typically provide for long-term incentive tools.

The Board of Directors believes that a three-year share-based incentive plan with specific performance targets is the most effective incentive tool that best serves the interests of the Company and the Group.

In particular, the three-year Performance Period and the additional Lock-up Period, as described below, conditions and postpones the economic benefits of the Plan for a congruous period of time, consistent with the objectives of retention and alignment of the interests of management and the shareholders in the medium/long-term that the Plan aims to achieve.

2.2 Key variables and performance indicators

For each of the three Cycles, the Allocation of Shares is subject to the achievement of specific Performance Targets for the three-year period 2025-2027 (1st Cycle), the threeyear period 2026-2028 (2nd Cycle) and the three-year period 2027-2029 (3rd Cycle).

1) EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortisation on tangible and intangible assets. It is a measure of whether a company (or a group of companies) makes a profit from ordinary operations.

For the purposes of the 1st Cycle (2025-2027), the Company calculates EBITDA as the value of the result before taxes, before financial income and expenses, before income and expenses from investments and before depreciation, amortization and impairment, as reported in the financial statements, adjusted to exclude the following items:

provisions for costs and legal expenses associated with litigation costs for damages caused by asbestos;

  • costs relating to reorganization plans and non-recurring other personnel costs;
  • other non-ordinary income and expenses.

For the purposes of the 1st Cycle (2025-2027), the cumulative value of Group EBITDA over the three-year reference period is considered.

The EBITDA indicator has a weight equal to 40% of the total Rights assigned to each Beneficiary for the 1st Cycle (the "First Instalment of Rights").

Therefore, the First Instalment of Rights accrues at the end of this Cycle upon achievement of the Performance Target related to Group EBITDA in the relevant Performance Period, compared to the target value provided for this period by the Group's business plan, according to the following table:

Performance Target
EBITDA
Accrued Percentage of the
First Instalment of Rights
Less than 90% (sub-threshold) 0%
Equal to 90% (threshold value) 50%
Equal to 100% (target value) 100%
Greater than 130% 150%
Intermediate values are calculated by linear interpolation

2) Total Shareholder Return ("TSR")

The "Total Shareholder Return" (or "TSR") of a company means the return for an investor calculated by considering both the changes in the share price over a given period and the dividends distributed over the same period, assuming that these dividends are reinvested at the time of detachment in the company's treasury shares.

The TSR values of the Company, of the companies belonging to the FTSE Italia All Share Modified index and of the companies included in the international Peer Group indicated below shall be calculated using the TRA (Total Return Analysis) function of the Bloomberg electronic system.

For the purposes of the 1st Cycle (2025-2027), the cumulative TSR values of the Company, the companies belonging to the FTSE Italia All Share Modified Index and the companies included in the International Peer Group over the three-year period 2025-2027 are considered.

The TSR indicator has a total weight of 35% of the total Rights assigned to each Beneficiary for Cycle 1 and is broken down as follows:

a) 15% of the Rights assigned to each Beneficiary for the 1st Cycle ("Second Instalment of Rights") accrues at the end of such Cycle upon achievement of the Performance Target related to the TSR indicator of the Company in the relevant Performance Period,

compared to both the median of the TSRs of the companies belonging to the FTSE Italia All Share Modified index in such period and to the distribution of such TSRs (in ascending order from the first decile to the tenth decile) in the same period, according to the following table:

Performance Target

TSR of the companies making up
the FTSE Italia All Share Modified
index and their distribution over

reference index

belonging to the ninth decile of the
reference index
150%
Intermediate values are calculated by linear interpolation

b) 20% of the Rights assigned to each Beneficiary for the 1st Cycle ("Third Instalment of Rights") accrues upon achievement of the Performance Target related to the Company's TSR indicator in the relevant Performance Period, compared to both the median of the TSRs of the companies belonging to the international Peer Group and the distribution of such TSRs (in ascending order from the first decile to the tenth decile) over the same period, according to the following table:

Performance Target
FINCANTIERI TSR compared to the
TSR of the companies making up
the International Peer Group and
their distribution over the period
Accrued Percentage of the Third
Instalment of Rights
FINCANTIERI TSR lower than the
median of the TSRs of the
companies belonging to the
reference index (sub-threshold)

FINCANTIERI TSR equal to the
median of the TSR of the
companies belonging to the
reference index (threshold value)

lower of the TSRs of the companies
belonging to the ninth decile of the
reference index
125%
FINCANTIERI TSR higher than the
lower of the TSRs of the companies
belonging to the ninth decile of the
reference index

For both comparisons, the TSR value of the Company in the Performance Period is compared, respectively, with the TSR of the companies belonging to the FTSE Italia All Share Modified index (in relation to the Second Instalment of Rights) and with that of the companies included in the international Peer Group indicated above (in relation to the Third Rights Share).

3) Sustainability index

The "Sustainability Index" means the tool used to measure the achievement of sustainability objectives that the company has set itself, in combination with and/or in addition to those of economic and financial performance, in order to align with European best practices and with the growing expectations of the financial community for sustainable development. For the purposes of Cycle 1 (2025-2027), the Sustainability performance target takes as reference the percentage of achievement of the Sustainability Plan targets that the Company has set for itself over the relevant time period, as shown in the table below. The number of rights that the Plan beneficiary accrues is determined according to the following table:

Performance Targets Sustainability Index Accrued Percentage of the Fourth
Instalment of Rights
Achievement of less than 75% of planned targets 0%
Achievement of 75% of planned targets 50%
Achievement of 90% of planned targets 100%
Achievement of 100% or more of planned targets 150%

Intermediate values are calculated by linear interpolation

EBITDA, the two TSRs and the Sustainability Index, as defined above, constitute independent targets. In the event that the minimum performance threshold is not exceeded in relation to one target, the Rights assigned may still accrue in relation to the level of achievement of the other objective(s).

In the event of (i) de-listing, (ii) liquidation, (iii) bankruptcy, (iv) suspension, discontinuation or substantial modification of the main activity or (v) unavailability of data relating to one or more companies in the International Peer Group, such companies shall be excluded from the International Peer Group for the purpose of calculating the TSR.

The composition of the FTSE Italia All-Share Index relevant to the calculation of the TSR shall be the actual composition, for each Cycle, as of the last trading day of the relevant Performance Period.

In the event of (i) non-publication of the FTSE Italia All Share index or (ii) the occurrence of extraordinary transactions or other events that, by their nature, may affect the TSR of one or more companies in the International Peer Group, the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, shall amend and/or supplement the elements necessary to calculate the TSR of the FTSE Italia All Share Modified index or the International Peer Group, respectively.

In the event of (i) non-publication of the Sustainability Index or (ii) the occurrence of other events independent of the Company that, by their nature, may affect the index, the Board of Directors shall amend and/or supplement the target after consulting with the Remuneration Committee.

The Performance Targets for the 2nd and 3rd Plan Cycles shall be defined by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, also introducing changes with respect to the provisions of the 1st Cycle.

The details of the Performance Targets envisaged for each Cycle and of the relevant incentive curve are communicated to the Beneficiaries in the Assignment Letter, which must be signed by the Beneficiaries themselves for acceptance within 15 days of receipt, under penalty of loss of effectiveness of the same.

2.3 Criteria for Determining the Amount of Share-Based Compensation

For each of the three cycles of the Plan, the Assignment of the Rights is made by the Company Board of Directors after consulting, to the extent of its competence, with the Remuneration Committee and on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2024, in an amount equal to the quotient between (1) a percentage of the value of the Beneficiary's gross annual remuneration net of its variable components and (2) the weighted average market price of the Shares in the five

open market days preceding the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors. For each Plan Cycle, during the Assignment of Rights such percentage shall be determined by the Company Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer in consideration of the position held by the Beneficiary and, in any case, not exceeding 115%.

Assignments of Rights are made free of charge.

The number of Rights assigned to each Beneficiary may be increased during each Plan Cycle by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence and upon indication of the Chief Executive Officer, so to take into account any increases in the fixed remuneration of the Beneficiaries during the period.

In addition, in the event of over performance, the number of Rights assigned to each Beneficiary may be increased at the time of Allocation up to a maximum of 50%.

2.4 Reasons for any decision to award compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the Company

Not applicable. The Plan is based on Company Shares only.

2.5 Consideration of significant tax and accounting implications

The preparation of the Plan was not influenced by significant tax or accounting considerations. In particular, for tax matters, reference shall be made to the jurisdiction of the country in which each Beneficiary resides.

2.6 Possible support for the Plan from the Special Fund for the encouragement of worker participation in enterprises, referred to in Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law No. 350 of 24 December 2003

The Plan does not receive support from the Special Fund for the Encouragement of Workers' Participation in Enterprises, referred to in Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law No 350 of 24 December 2003.

3 Approval process and timing of Share assignment

3.1 Powers and functions delegated by the Shareholders' Meeting to the Board of Directors for the implementation of the Plan

Remuneration Committee, the broadest powers necessary for the actual and full implementation of the Plan, to be exercised in accordance with the principles established by the Shareholders' Meeting and illustrated in this Information Document, including, but not limited to, all powers, to the extent of their competence, to: (i) implement the Plan and establish any terms and conditions for its execution; (ii) identify the names of the Beneficiaries; (iii) determine the number of Rights to be assigned to each Beneficiary; (iv) define the Performance Targets of the three Plan Cycles (without prejudice to what envisaged for the 1st Cycle, as set out in paragraph 2.2 of this Information Document) and verify their achievement for the purposes of the Allocation of Shares, subject to assessment of the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence; (v) determine the number of Shares to be assigned to each Beneficiary and proceed with the Allocation; (vi) exercise the Claw-back clause and define the terms and conditions of the Allocation of the Shares in the event of a Change of Control or de-listing of the Company; (vii) approve, amend and/or supplement the Plan (in the terms set forth in paragraph 3.3) below and the Regulations; (viii) prepare and approve the documentation connected with the implementation of the Plan with the power to subsequently amend and/or supplement it; (ix) make any amendments to the Plan that may be necessary and/or appropriate, particularly in the event of changes in the applicable legislation or events or transactions of an extraordinary nature; (x) perform any act, fulfilment, formality, or communication that may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes of managing and/or implementing the Plan, with the power to delegate its powers, duties, and responsibilities in relation to the execution and application of the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer.

3.2 Parties appointed with the administration of the Plan

The responsibility for managing the Plan lies with the Board of Directors, which is vested with all the powers necessary and/or appropriate to implement the Plan in full and in its entirety, including those indicated in paragraph 3.1. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate all the powers, tasks and responsibilities attributed to it by the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer, including those relating to its implementation, execution and amendment, it being understood that amendments to the Plan must then be approved by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors shall use the Human Resources and Real Estate Department of the Company for the operational administration of the Plan.

3.3 Existing procedures for Plan revision

In order to keep the essential contents of the Plan as unchanged as possible within the limits allowed by the regulations in force from time to time, the Board of Directors shall regulate the emerging rights and/or amend and/or supplement the conditions and/or terms of the Assignment of Rights or Allocation of Shares when an operation of an extraordinary nature takes place, including but not limited to:

  • splitting and grouping of Shares;
  • free increase in the Company's capital;
  • increase in the Company's capital against payment;
  • distribution of extraordinary dividends to shareholders;
  • capital reductions for losses by cancellation of Shares;
  • mergers;
  • acquisitions;
  • transfers;
  • spin-offs;
  • joint ventures;
  • any other transaction that, by its nature or effectiveness, may affect EBITDA and/or TSR or any other Performance Target identified from time to time for the purposes of the Plan.

This is also without prejudice to the right of the Board of Directors, having consulted the Remuneration Committee, to amend all or part of the Plan to adapt it to laws and regulations and/or correct any inconsistencies, defects or omissions of the Plan, as well as to intervene to update the objectives of the Plan should unforeseeable and counterproductive events occur in relation to the reasons motivating the adoption of the Plan.

3.4 Arrangements for determining the availability and allocation of Shares

In order to ensure greater flexibility in the execution of the Plan, the Allocation of Shares shall be carried out using: (i) treasury shares from purchases made, pursuant to Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, which shall be subject to the authorisation of the ordinary shareholders' meeting; and/or (ii) shares from the issue, pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code and also in several tranches, of up to 9,700,000 ordinary shares without par value having the same characteristics as the outstanding ordinary shares, without increasing the share capital, which shall be subject to the authorisation of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting. In this regard, it should be noted that, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, the Shares to be allocated to the Beneficiaries of the Plan who are not employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall derive exclusively from the acquisitions of treasury shares made pursuant to Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code.

The Board of Directors shall decide, according to the specific requirements for the execution of the Plan, which instrument to use and, if necessary, to what extent, in order to ensure the best efficiency in the use of the Company's resources, and may also make use of both instruments at the same time, without prejudice to the maximum limit of shares that may be allocated under the Plan.

3.5 Role played by each director in determining the characteristics of the Plan; possible occurrence of conflict-of-interest situations

The Remuneration Committee was involved in the various stages of preparation of the Plan, to the extent of its competence.

Beneficiaries of the Plan may also include directors of the Company, as identified by the Board of Directors in accordance with paragraph 1 above. In such a case, board resolutions on the Assignment of Rights or Allocation of Shares shall be adopted in compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions and, in any case, with the directors concerned abstaining from voting.

3.6 Date of the decision taken by the body in charge with proposing the approval of the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting and of any proposal of the Remuneration Committee

At its meeting of 20 March 2025, the Remuneration Committee formulated its proposal for the Plan to the Board of Directors.

At the meeting of 24 March 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to submit the adoption of the Plan to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2024. To this end, at the same meeting the Board of Directors approved, after a favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, this Information Document and the illustrative report of the directors on the remuneration plan pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) concerning the Information Document.

3.7 Date of the decision taken by the body in charge with the assignment of the Rights and of any proposal to the aforesaid body formulated by the Remuneration Committee

The Rights envisaged by the Plan are assigned to the Beneficiaries by the Board of Directors for each of the three Cycles of the Plan, after consulting the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Assignments shall be made according to the following timetable:

  • the Assignment for Cycle 1 shall be made by 31 July 2025;
  • the Assignment for Cycle 2 shall be made by 31 July 2026;
  • the Assignment for Cycle 3 shall be made by 31 July 2027.

The number of Shares to be allocated to the Beneficiaries for each of the three Cycles of the Plan shall be determined by the Board of Directors, upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, based on the level of achievement of the Performance Targets at the end of the Performance Period and following approval by the

Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2027 for the 1st Cycle, 31 December 2028 for the 2nd Cycle and 31 December 2029 for the 3rd Cycle.

The Grant Date of the Rights and the Allocation Date of the Shares shall be announced in the manner and within the terms indicated in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulations and, in any case, in the regulatory provisions in force from time to time.

3.8 The market price of the Shares recorded on the dates indicated in Sections 3.6 and 3.7

On 20 March 2025 and on 24 March 2025, when the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors respectively met to define the proposal regarding the Plan to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting, the official stock market price of the Shares was Euro 11,220 and Euro 10,785.

Information on the price of the Shares at the time of the Assignment of the Rights and Allocation of the Shares by the Board of Directors shall be provided in the manner and within the terms indicated in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulation and, in any case, in the regulatory provisions in force from time to time.

3.9 Safeguards adopted by the Company in the event of a possible coincidence in time between the Grant date of the Shares or of any decisions in this regard by the Remuneration Committee and the disclosure of relevant information pursuant to Article 114, paragraph 1, Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF)

It should be noted that it was not necessary to prepare any such safeguards since the Shares shall only be allocated at the end of the Performance Period for each of the three Plan Cycles and subject to the achievement of the Performance Targets (see paragraph 4.5). Consequently, any disclosure of privileged information at the time of Assignment of the Rights would be irrelevant with respect to the Beneficiaries who, at such moment, cannot carry out any transaction involving the Shares, since their Allocation and Delivery is postponed to a later moment distant from the Assignment of the Rights.

4 Characteristics of the Shares

4.1 Structure of the Plan

The Plan provides for the Beneficiaries to receive up to a maximum of 9,700,000 Fincantieri ordinary shares with no par value, free of charge, in order to reach specific performance targets.

For each Cycle, the Plan provides for a Vesting Period between the Grant Date of the Rights and the Allocation Date of Shares to the Beneficiaries.

The Rights shall be assigned to the Beneficiaries in their personal capacity only and may not be transferred other than mortis causa nor subject to any lien in any capacity whatsoever.

4.2 Period of actual implementation of the Plan with reference also to any different cycles envisaged

The Plan is divided into three cycles, each lasting three years:

  • Cycle 1: with Performance Period 2025-2027;
  • Cycle 2: with Performance Period 2026-2028;
  • Cycle 3: with Performance Period 2027-2029.

The Delivery of the Shares allocated to each Beneficiary to whom an Allocation Notice has been issued shall take place, once the civil and administrative-accounting formalities connected with the provision of the Shares have been fulfilled, by transfer to the securities account indicated by the Beneficiary or, with reference to the portion of the Shares subject to the Lock-up Period, to the escrow account in the name of the Beneficiary and opened with the financial intermediary appointed by the Company as Plan director, on the day indicated in the relevant Allocation Notice and, in any case, by 31 July 2028 for the 1st Cycle, by 31 July 2029 for the 2nd Cycle, and by 31 July 2030 for the 3rd Cycle.

4.3 Termination of the Plan

The 1st Cycle of the Plan shall end on 31 July 2028 or on the date of Delivery of the Shares to the 1st Cycle Beneficiaries, whichever earlier. The 2nd Cycle of the Plan shall end on 31 July 2029 or on the date of Delivery of the Shares to the 2nd Cycle Beneficiaries, whichever earlier. The 3rd Cycle of the Plan shall end on 31 July 2030 or on the date of Delivery of the Shares to the 3rd Cycle Beneficiaries, whichever earlier.

With reference to the Lock-up Period, please refer to paragraph 4.6 below of this Information Document.

4.4 Maximum number of Plan Shares allocated in each financial year

The Plan concerns Rights to receive a maximum of 9,700,000 Shares free of charge.

Within this maximum limit, there is no maximum number of Shares to be assigned or allocated in each fiscal year.

4.5 Plan implementation methods and clauses

The free allocation of Shares for each of the three Plan Cycles is conditional upon the achievement of specific Performance Targets. Furthermore, the Beneficiaries must not be in a notice period due to resignation or dismissal on the Date of Allocation of the Shares and the directors must not have resigned or been removed from office on the Date of Allocation of the Shares relating to each of the three cycles of the Plan.

The relationship shall not be deemed to exist in the event of dismissal or resignation communicated prior to the Date of Allocation of the Shares relating to each of the three cycles of the Plan. This also applies in cases where the termination of the relationship becomes effective after said Date of Allocation of the Shares due to the contractuallyprovided notice period or for any other reason.

The Performance Targets shall be identified by the Board of Directors for the specific threeyear period of each successive 1st Cycle (2025-2027), upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, at the time of the Assignment of the Rights.

For the 1st Cycle (2025-2027), the selected performance indicators are EBITDA, TSR and the Sustainability Index as described in paragraph 2.2 of this Information Document.

4.6 Availability constraints on the Shares

The Rights to receive the Shares free of charge, even after Notification of the Allocation of the Shares until Delivery, are personal and may not be transferred other than mortis causa or be subject to any lien in any capacity whatsoever.

An act of transfer means any and all transactions by which the direct or indirect effect is obtained, of transferring the assigned rights to a third party, including gratuitous acts, exchanges and contributions. Any attempted sale, assignment, encumbrance or transfer made in violation of this provision shall be invalid and in any event ineffective vis-à-vis the Company and shall result in the ineffectiveness of the Rights assigned.

Beneficiaries who are members of the Board of Directors or Executives with Strategic Responsibilities with an open-ended or a fixed-term contract are obliged to continuously hold a number of Shares at least equal to 51% of the Net Shares delivered for 2 years from the date of Delivery.

4.7 Possible termination conditions in relation to the Plan in the event that the recipients carry out hedging transactions to neutralise any prohibitions on the sale of Rights and Shares

The execution of hedging transactions by the Beneficiaries on the Rights assigned prior to the Allocation of the Shares constitutes a circumvention of the prohibition to transfer the Rights assigned in accordance with the Plan.

Therefore, the execution of hedging transactions by the Beneficiaries on the Rights assigned prior to the Allocation of the Shares entails the loss of the Rights.

4.8 Effects of termination of employment

In the event that, prior to the Allocation of the Shares, the Beneficiary: (i) is dismissed for just cause or for justified subjective reason, or resigns not for just cause, from the employment relationship; and (ii) is dismissed for just cause, or resigns not for just cause, from the position as director, the automatic exclusion of the Beneficiary from the Plan shall

occur and, consequently, the Beneficiary shall forfeit any right to receive - even partially the Shares not already subject to Delivery.

In the event that the Beneficiary: (i) resigns for just cause (ascertained by a final judgment) from the employment relationship or is dismissed for no just cause or justified subjective reason; and (ii) resigns for just cause (ascertained by a final judgment) from the position as director or is dismissed without just cause, the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, shall assess the possible Allocation of Shares to the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan Regulations and applying the pro rata temporis criterion. The rules provided for the Lock-up Period apply to the aforementioned cases.

The foregoing provision does not apply in the event the employment relationship or directorship with the Beneficiary terminates (i) due to death, disability with total and permanent inability to work of 66% or more, (ii) upon the Beneficiary's accrual of pension benefits, or (iii) upon the Beneficiary's reaching the end of the term, in the case of an employment relationship or directorship with a fixed term. In the assumptions described above, the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence shall allocate the Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Plan Regulations and applying the pro rata temporis criterion.

In the event of death of the Beneficiary, the Shares that can be allocated pursuant to the preceding paragraphs shall be delivered to the heirs or successors in title within the established delivery terms.

It is understood that, in the event of a transfer of employment or directorship within the Group, the Beneficiary shall retain the rights assigned under the Plan. After consulting with the Remuneration Committee to the extent of its competence, the Board of Directors shall assess, in cases of transfer to a foreign company with an independent long-term incentive plan, the procedures for turning the Rights assigned under the Company's Plan into those envisaged by the subsidiary's plan.

4.9 Indication of other possible causes of cancellation of the Plan

If, following the entry into force of primary and/or secondary legislation (including social security and tax legislation) and/or following the issuance of official interpretative clarifications and/or following changes in the current interpretations relating to the applicable rules, the implementation of the Plan entails additional burdens of a tax, social security or other nature not currently contemplated for the Company, the Plan may be temporarily suspended, amended or cancelled.

In such case, the Company shall not be liable for any damages, indemnities or other charges whatsoever to the Beneficiaries and none of the Beneficiaries shall have any claim against the Company in respect of the Rights assigned to receive Shares not yet allocated free of charge.

4.10 Reasons for the possible provision of a 'redemption' of the Shares by the Company

The Plan includes Claw-back clauses. In particular, the Company shall have the right to demand the Beneficiary for restitution, in whole or in part, of the Net Shares or, at the discretion of the Beneficiary, the countervalue of the Net Shares upon the date of Delivery (or at the end of the Lock-up period for Shares subject to it) if they were allocated on the basis of data that later turned out to be manifestly incorrect or false, or in cases of fraud or in relation to fraudulent or negligent conduct in breach of rules, including those of a regulatory nature, and company regulations, provided that the verification of the above cases takes place on the basis of data proven by the competent Company functions, within three years from the Date of Allocation, or by the courts, within the limitation period of the various cases. Similarly, in compliance with the Group's ethical principles, the return of the incentive paid shall be required if the targets associated with the allocation of shares are acquired through conduct in breach of the regulations on corruption and corporate criminal offences that entail the administrative liability of the Company under Articles 25 and 25 ter of Legislative Decree No. 231/01, subject to the time limits defined above.

4.11 Any loans or other facilities for the purchase of Shares

No loans or other facilities are envisaged for the purchase of Shares, as they are allocated free of charge.

4.12 Evaluation of the expected burden for the Company at the date of the relevant assignment, as determinable on the basis of the terms and conditions already defined, by total amount and in relation to each instrument of the Plan

The expected burden for the Company is represented by the fair value of the Plan Shares, which shall be precisely determined at the Grant Date of the Rights.

At present, the maximum burden expected for the Company concerning the 1st Plan Cycle as at the date of this Information Document is approximately 3,200,000 shares.

Further information on the burden of the Plan for the Company will be provided in the manner and within the terms indicated in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulation and, in any case, in the regulatory provisions in force from time to time.

4.13 Any dilutive effects brought about by the Plan

Any dilutive effects resulting from the implementation of the Plan depend on the Company's choice to finance it through market purchases or by issuing shares pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code. In the event that the provision of the maximum number of Plan Shares takes place solely through share issues, the dilutive effect shall be 2,91%.

4.14 Possible limits for the exercise of voting rights and the allocation of property rights

There are no limits on the exercise of equity and voting rights in relation to the Shares to be granted under the Plan.

4.15 Information on the allocation of Shares not traded on regulated markets

Not applicable.

4.16-4.23

Not applicable.
