Dear Shareholders,
if you agree with the contents shown in this report, we invite you to adopt the following resolution:

Dear Shareholders,
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of FinecoBank S.p.A. ("FinecoBank" or the "Company") held on 28 April 2021, following a reasoned proposal by the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved to appoint KPMG S.p.A. ("KPMG") as the statutory auditor for the financial years 2022–2030, determining the relevant fee. Subsequently, under the Framework Agreement of 20 December 2021 and the subsequent engagement letter, KPMG was also entrusted with the limited assurance engagement of the Non-Financial Statement for the financial years 2022– 2030, pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 10, of Legislative Decree No. 254 of 30 December 2016.
Following amendments to the regulatory framework concerning Sustainability Reporting, introduced by
KPMG has submitted a request to the Company for a fee adjustment (the "Request for Fee Adjustment") related to the attestation activities required under the new Sustainability Reporting framework.
The Request for Fee Adjustment has been submitted by KPMG in light of the additional activities it is required to perform as a result of the aforementioned regulatory changes, which constitute circumstances for adjusting the auditing firm's fees, as provided for under the Audit Mandate.

In compliance with Article 13, paragraph 2-ter, of Legislative Decree No. 39 of 27 January 2010, the Request for Fee Adjustment has been reviewed and evaluated by the Board of Statutory Auditors, which has prepared the attached reasoned proposal for the fee adjustment. This proposal is hereby submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting.


Dear Shareholders,
The Board of Statutory Auditors of FinecoBank S.p.A. is required to submit a reasoned proposal regarding the request for an adjustment to the fees payable to KPMG S.p.A. (hereinafter also referred to as the "auditing firm") for the performance of activities relating to the certification of compliance of sustainability reporting, in accordance with the amended regulatory framework following the entry into force of Legislative Decree No. 125 of 6 September 2024 (the "Decree"), which implements Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of 14 December 2022 (the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive or CSRD), with reference to financial years ending up to 31 December 2030.
The Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2021 appointed KPMG S.p.A. as the independent auditors responsible for the statutory audit of FinecoBank S.p.A. for the nine-year period 2022–2030, approving the proposed economic components in terms of fees and hours, summarised as follows:
| Service | No. of hours |
€ |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory audit | 2,250 | 128,037 |
| Voluntary audit | 1,823 | 99,553 |
| Total | 4,073 | 227,590 |
On 23 December 2021, FinecoBank S.p.A. entered into a framework agreement with the auditing firm KPMG S.p.A. under the economic conditions approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. The agreement does not contain predefined criteria for adjusting the remuneration in the event of additional activities, based on quantitative and qualitative parameters. Consequently, where the conditions are met, the adjustment of the fees payable to the appointed auditing firm is subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting.
Please note that the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023, following the reasoned proposal submitted by this Board of Statutory Auditors on 9 March 2023, approved an increase in the remuneration for statutory audit activities performed by KPMG in consideration of additional activities required under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815, adopted pursuant to the delegation contained in Directive 2004/109/EC (the Transparency Directive), as amended by Directive 2013/50/EU. This regulation introduced the obligation to prepare annual financial reports in a harmonised electronic format (ESEF – European Single Electronic Format) and to use

the XBRL language for tagging consolidated financial statements, as well as amendments to Article 154-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998.
As a result, to perform the additional statutory audit activities required by the aforementioned regulation, the economic components in terms of fees and hours—while maintaining the details and criteria for annual adjustments—have been updated as follows:
| Service | No. of hours |
€ |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory audit as per Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 28.04.2021 |
2,250 | 128,037 |
| Additional activities due to new regulatory requirements – approved fee adjustment |
728 | 35,000 |
| Total statutory audit for the nine-year period 2022–2030 |
2,978 | 163,037 |
With specific reference to non-financial reporting, the regulatory framework underwent significant changes in 2024 following the entry into force of Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 December 2022, which amended Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014, Directive 2004/109/EC, Directive 2006/43/EC, and Directive 2013/34/EU concerning corporate sustainability reporting (hereinafter, the CSRD or the Directive).
The provisions of the CSRD were transposed into Italian law through Legislative Decree No. 125 of 6 September 2024, published in the Official Gazette on 10 September 2024, and effective from 25 September 2024. Among other aspects, the decree provides that the mandates for the certification of compliance of the non-financial statement, granted pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 10, of Legislative Decree No. 254 of 30 December 2016, remain valid until the agreed expiry date for the purpose of carrying out sustainability reporting compliance certification activities under Legislative Decree No. 125 of 6 September 2024, unless an early termination is requested and a new mandate is assigned.
The Directive significantly expands the reporting requirements in accordance with the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which establish a common language for addressing sustainability issues across the European Union. Furthermore, the Directive stipulates that the appointed auditor must issue a specific attestation containing conclusions based on an engagement designed to obtain a limited level of assurance regarding the compliance of sustainability reporting with CSRD requirements. This includes compliance of sustainability reporting with ESRS, the procedures used to identify reported information in accordance with ESRS, adherence to the sustainability reporting mark-up obligations as set out in Delegated

Regulation (EU) 2019/815, and compliance with the disclosure obligations under Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852.
FinecoBank has opted not to request early termination of the mandate granted to KPMG, which has consequently been responsible for carrying out the additional activities required under the new regulatory framework from the 2024 financial year onwards.
In light of the increased regulatory workload, the auditing firm KPMG has quantified the fee adjustment required for the additional audit activities related to the certification of sustainability reporting compliance in terms of fees and hours as follows:
o For the financial year ending 31 December 2024
| Service | No. of hours |
€ |
|---|---|---|
| Fees for specific activities related to CSRD accompanying – one-off charge |
650 | 72,000 |
| Consolidated Non-Financial Statement of the Group for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 |
1,180 | 126,000 |
| Total fees for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 |
1,830 | 198,000 |
o For each financial year ending from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2030
| Service | No. of hours |
€ |
|---|---|---|
| Fees for specific activities related to the limited assurance examination of the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement of the Group |
1,180 | 126,000 |
| Total fees for each financial year ending from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2030 |
1,180 | 126,000 |
These amounts are exclusive of VAT and other statutory charges, as well as ISTAT adjustments, in accordance with the Framework Agreement defined at the time of KPMG's appointment.
This request constitutes an adjustment to the activities and fees already established as part of the appointment of KPMG S.p.A. for the period 2022–2030, following the introduction of new regulatory requirements.
In accordance with the applicable regulations (Article 13, paragraph 2-ter, of Legislative Decree No. 39 of 27 January 2010, as amended by Legislative Decree No. 125/2024), the Shareholders' Meeting, based on a

reasoned proposal from the supervisory body, is called upon to approve the adjustment to the fees requested during the performance period of the mandate, resulting from the increase in activities mandated by law.
For the purposes of drafting this reasoned proposal, the Board of Statutory Auditors has reviewed the provisions relating to corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD) currently in force and examined the following documents:
In light of the above, the Board of Statutory Auditors submits the following proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting:

1 Circular no. 285/2013
The following potential beneficiaries of the 2025 System have been classified - in line with the criteria defined by the current regulation - as "Identified Staff":
The total number of beneficiaries, as of January 21st , 2025, is 24.

in the period 2027 - 2031 the residual amount of the total incentive will be delivered in several installments in cash and/or FinecoBank free ordinary shares; each individual tranche will be subject to the application of the "Zero Factor" related to the year of competence and to the verification of compliance for each beneficiary with the compliance rules and with the principles of conduct and behavior, also considering the seriousness of any internal / external inspections by the competent Functions or Authorities (e.g. Internal Audit, European Central Bank, Bank of Italy, Consob and/or similar local authorities);

5 Circular no. 285 of Bank of Italy (cf. 37th update of 2021)
(k) FinecoBank ordinary shares awarded free of charge will be freely transferable.
During the implementation of the 2025 System, it is deemed appropriate to propose delegation of powers to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, to amend the System without altering the substance of the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meeting, also by resorting to different solutions that fully comply with the principles of the 2025 System and that allow the same results to be achieved (i.e. a different percentage distribution of the payments of the different tranches, a different deferral period, a different period of restriction on granted shares, the extension of the 2025 System to beneficiaries other than the Identified Staff, also using trust companies, the use of instruments other than FinecoBank's shares where required by the regulations, the payment of an equivalent amount in cash in lieu of shares, to be determined on the basis of the market value of FinecoBank shares, taking into account the arithmetic mean of the official market closing prices of the ordinary shares recorded in the month preceding the board resolution executing the payment of a share installment).
It is understood that the aforementioned changes will be in any case adopted in compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions pro tempore in force.
The issuance of free ordinary shares necessary for the implementation of the 2025 System, as in the past, will be carried out in compliance with the provisions of art. 2349 of the Italian Civil Code on the basis of the delegation granted to the Board of Directors, pursuant to art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code.
For this reason, the Shareholders' Meeting in extraordinary session will be called to approve the proposal to assign such delegation to the Board of Directors.
In particular, for the purpose of issuing FinecoBank ordinary shares for the 2025 System, it is submitted for approval the proposal to grant a delegation to the Board of Directors pursuant to art. 2443 of the Civil Code, to proceed with the increase in share capital, in compliance with the provisions of art. 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, for a maximum amount of Euro 154,106.37 (to be allocated entirely to capital), by issuing a maximum number of 466,989 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.33 each, with the same characteristics as those in circulation and with regular dividend entitlement.
In line with the provisions of art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, pursuant to which the Directors may exercise the right to increase the capital for a maximum period of five years from the date of registration of the Shareholders 'Meeting resolution granting the delegation (and therefore with respect to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting resolution up to 2030), for the actual allocation of the last tranche of shares in 2031, a proposal to integrate the delegation already conferred on the Board of Directors must be submitted to a future Shareholders' Meeting, so as to complete the execution of the 2025 System.
The above mentioned capital increase will be carried out using the special reserve called "Provisions Linked to the Medium-Long Term Incentive System for the staff of FinecoBank" which, if necessary, may be reconstituted or increased by allocating a portion of available statutory profits or reserves created as a result of the allocation of company profits which will be identified by the Board of Directors upon exercise of the delegation.
In the event that it is not possible to proceed with the issuance (full or partial) of the shares serving the 2025 System (including the case in which the "Provisions Linked to the Medium-Long Term Incentive System for the staff of FinecoBank" is not sufficient), the beneficiaries will receive an equivalent amount in cash to be determined on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the official market prices of FinecoBank ordinary shares recorded in the month preceding the Board resolution executing the bonus payment.

Dear Shareholders,
If you agree with the above proposal, you are invited to approve it by adopting the following resolution:
"FinecoBank's ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, having heard the Board of Directors proposal,

Dear Shareholders,
We have called this ordinary Meeting to submit to your approval the authorization request to purchase and to dispose of treasury shares and to carry out the related and consequent resolutions.
In order to acquire the financial instruments needed to carry out the 2025 PFA System for the Personal Financial Advisors Identified Staff, it is necessary to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting the authorization, pursuant to articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italia civil Code, to purchase and to dispose of treasury shares. Thus, the Company will have, by purchasing them on the market, the shares needed to execute the 2025 PFA System through the assignment of those shares to the beneficiaries who have the right to receive them.
The proposal foresees to confer on the Board of Directors the faculty to carry out repeated and subsequent transactions to buy and sell (or other kind of disposals) treasury shares on a revolving base, also for fractions of the maximum amount authorized, so that, at any time, the number of shares to be purchased under the above-mentioned proposal plus those in the Company's ownership do not exceed the limit set by the law and are in line with the authorization provided by the Shareholders' Meeting.
The authorization request is for a maximum number of 244,189 ordinary shares, equal to about 0.04% of the current share capital and, therefore, well below the maximum limit of 20% provided by the applicable regulation, also taking into consideration the 81,200 treasury shares owned by the Company at the date of the present report, equal to about 0.01% of share capital, and also the maximum number of treasury shares that at the moment is estimated to be assigned to execute Incentive Systems already approved or that will be approved in the future, or other needs not foreseeable at the moment.
The purchase of treasury shares will be executed within the limits of the distributable earnings and of the available provisions as per the last approved annual financial report, at the moment of the purchasing operations.

Dear Shareholders,
If you agree with the above proposal, you are invited to approve it by adopting the following resolution:
"FinecoBank's ordinary shareholders' Meeting, having heard the Board of Directors proposal, according to the provisions of articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Civ. Cod., 132 D, Lgs. D. n. 58/1998 and 114-bis of 11971/99 Consob Regulation

Dear Shareholders,
We have called this Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to submit for your approval the proposal to delegate authority to the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 2443 of the civil Code, to increase the share capital under article 2349 of the civil Code (granting of free ordinary shares to employees of FinecoBank Group) in order to:
We also submit for your approval the consequent required amendments to the Articles of Association.
As known, on April 24, 2024 the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved the 2024 Incentive System aimed to incentivize the Identified Staff of FinecoBank, over a multi-year period (2025-2030), through a balanced structure of "upfront" (made at the time of the performance evaluation) and deferred payments, in cash and/or in Fineco ordinary shares.
The above-mentioned Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved for the Board of Directors the power of attorney to issue the necessary free ordinary shares to execute the 2024 System.
Considering that, pursuant to article 2443 of the civil Code, the power of attorney to the Directors for capital increase expires after five years from the date of the relevant Shareholders' Meeting resolution, during the above-mentioned meeting it was anticipated to the Shareholders the need to submit to a future Shareholders' Meeting for approval the proposed assignment of a further power of attorney to allocate the last share instalment to be executed in 2030, as foreseen by 2024 System.
Having said that, it is submitted for the approval of today's meeting, the proposal to give to the Board of Directors the power of attorney, that will be executed in 2030, to resolve a free capital increase for a maximum number of 129,559 ordinary shares, corresponding to up to Euro 42,754.47 calculated on the basis of the nominal value of Fineco ordinary share equal to Euro 0.33, consequently amending the Articles of Association.
The above-mentioned capital increase would be carried out using the special reserve known as "Provisions Linked to the Medium-Long Term Incentive System for the staff of FinecoBank" set up for this purpose which, if case, may be increased via allocation of profits or a portion of available statutory reserves, formed as a result of the allocation of company profits that shall be identified by the Board of Directors at the time of the exercise of the proxy.
It has been submitted for approval to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting the 2025 System based on financial instruments, in order to align shareholders' and Management interests, to reward long-term value creation and to motivate and retain key resources of FinecoBank.
The 2025 System aims to incentive over a multi-year period the following employees: Chief Executive Officer and General Manager (CEO/GM), Deputy General Managers (DGM), Executive Vice Presidents (EVP), Senior Vice Presidents (SVP)1 , and all other Identified Staff (including new hires) identified under the criteria established by the regulatory provisions. The overall number of beneficiaries as of January 21st , 2025 is equal to 24.
Individual bonuses will be allocated to the beneficiaries of the 2025 System based on the available bonus pool, individual performance evaluation, internal benchmarking for specific roles in coherence with the maximum 2:1 ratio between the variable remuneration component and the fixed remuneration component defined by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
The overall bonus amount will be paid over a multi-year period (2026-2031) with a balanced structure of "upfront" (made at the time of the performance evaluation) and deferred

payments, in cash and in shares, providing that the beneficiaries will still be employees at the moment of each payout (1) , pursuant to the schemes below:

The number of shares to be allocated in the respective instalments shall be defined in 2026, on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the official closing market price of Fineco ordinary shares during the month preceding the Board resolution that evaluates the results achieved in 2025 (the maximum number of shares to execute the 2025 System is estimated equal to 565,634).
Considering the number of beneficiaries and the total number of financial instruments to be allocated, the optimal method identified to execute the 2025 System is the resolution – in one or more instances – by the Board of Directors upon power of attorney delegated by this Shareholders' Meeting under article 2443 of the Italian civil Code, of a free capital increase, as allowed by article 2349 of the Italian civil Code, within five years of the date of the Shareholders' resolution, for a maximum amount of Euro 154,106.37 (to be allocated entirely to capital), by issuing up to 466,989 new FinecoBank ordinary shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.33 each, with the same characteristics as those in circulation and with regular dividend entitlement, to be granted to the Identified Staff of FinecoBank. In compliance with article 2349 of the civil Code, the consequent amendments to the Articles of Association are submitted to today's Shareholders' Meeting.
Being understood that, under the provision of article 2443 of the Italian civil Code, the power of attorney to the Board of Directors for capital increase expires after five years from the date of the relevant Shareholders' resolution, in order to complete the execution of 2025 Incentive System – having a 6-years duration – it will be submitted for approval to one of the future Shareholders' Meetings the proposed assignment of a further power of attorney to the Board of Directors for capital increase to service the above mentioned 2025 System through

( 2 ) Threshold of Euro 434,000, equal to 25% of the total remuneration of the Italian High Earners according to the EBA report (Benchmarking and High Earners Report). The threshold includes both the short-term variable remuneration and the annual tranche of the long-term variable remuneration, and it is equal to less than 10x the overall average remuneration of the company's employees. As required by the regulatory provisions (Bank of Italy Circular 285/2013), the threshold has been defined for the three-year period 2025-2027. ( 3 ) Cf. Circular no. 285/2013 of Bank of Italy.

the allocation of a maximum overall number of 98,645 Fineco ordinary shares, corresponding to a capital increase of a maximum of Euro 32,552.85.
It is highlighted that a residual number of Fineco ordinary shares may be devoted to hiring new Identified Staff from the external market, identifying Identified Staff during the year, for severance payments or for other needs that are not yet conceivable.
The capital increase would be carried out using the special reserve known as "Provisions Linked to the Medium-Long Term Incentive System for the staff of FinecoBank" set up for this purpose which, if case, may be increased via allocation of profits or a portion of available statutory reserves, formed as a result of the allocation of company profits that shall be identified by the Board of Directors at the time of the exercise of the proxy.
If is not possible to proceed with the issuance (full or partial) of the Fineco ordinary shares to support the 2025 System (including the case in which the amount of the "Provisions Linked to the Medium-Long Term Incentive System for the staff of FinecoBank" would not be sufficient), an equivalent amount in cash will be allocated to the beneficiaries, determined on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the official closing market price of Fineco ordinary shares during the month preceding the Board resolution concerning the pay-out.
Should the aforementioned delegation of power of attorney be exercised to its maximum amount, the newly issued shares would represent an overall 0.08% of existing share capital (0.09% considering the maximum number of shares equal to 565,634 which include also the 98,645 shares for the allocation of the last instalments in shares in 2031).
In light of the above, it is proposed to amend Art. 5 of the Articles of Association, by amending paragraph no. 22 and by adding paragraph no. 24. The changes submitted for approval to the Shareholders are shown in the synoptic table below:
