(ii) Euro 20,808.61 to the legal reserve, corresponding to 0.003% of the profit for the year 2025, having reached the limit of one-fifth of the share capital;

ELIMINATION OF A NEGATIVE RESERVE NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY MEANS OF ITS DEFINITIVE COVERAGE
Dear Shareholders,
We have called this Ordinary Meeting to resolve, inter alia, on the approval of the elimination of a negative reserve not subject to change by means of its definitive coverage as reported below.
In connection with the above, the proposals submitted for your approval are described below.
1. APPROVAL OF THE ELIMINATION OF A NEGATIVE RESERVE NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY MEANS OF ITS DEFINITIVE COVERAGE
As represented in the FinecoBank S.p.A. Financial Statements, shareholders' equity includes a negative reserve of Euro 8,381,612.25, recognized as a result of FinecoBank's decision to opt for the payment of the extraordinary voluntary contribution introduced by the 2026 Budget Law, equal to 27.5% of the non-distributable reserve pursuant to Article 26 of Legislative Decree No. 104 of August 10, 2023, as approved by the Board of Directors on February 5, 2026.
In this regard, please note that Article 26 of Decree Law No. 104 of August 10, 2023, introduced a one-off tax for the year 2023 to be borne by banks, calculated on the amount of the interest margin included in Item 30 of the income statement prepared in accordance with the formats approved by the Bank of Italy relating to the fiscal year prior to the year in progress as of January 1, 2024 that exceeds the same margin by at least 10 percent in the fiscal year prior to the year in progress as of January 1, 2022. The amount of one-off tax, in any case, could not exceed a portion equal to 0.26 percent of the total amount of risk exposure on an individual basis, determined in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 92 of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 26, 2013, with reference to the closing date of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in progress on January 1, 2023. In lieu of the payment provided for in paragraph 4 of Article 26 of Decree Law No. 104 of August 10, 2023, paragraph 5-bis of the same decree provided that banks could allocate, when approving the financial statements for the fiscal year prior to the one in progress as of January 1, 2024, to a non-distributable reserve identified for this purpose an amount not less than two and a half times the tax calculated pursuant to this article. The Shareholders' Meeting of April 24, 2024, called to approve the allocation of the 2023 profit, had resolved to allocate Euro 30,478,590.00 to the non-distributable reserve pursuant to art. 26 of Legislative Decree No. 104 of August 10, 2023.

ITEM NO. 3 ON THE AGENDA
The 2026 Budget Law (Law No. 199/2025) amended this provision, introducing:
- a legal presumption of priority distribution of the aforementioned reserve for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2028, resulting in the payment of a 40% tax for any distribution of profits or reserves made starting from January 1, 2029, up to the amount of the reserve itself;
- the possibility to opt for the payment of a voluntary extraordinary contribution of 27.5% of the amount of the aforementioned reserve as of December 31, 2025 or 33% of the amount of the aforementioned reserve existing at the end of the following fiscal year.
Given the above, in light of the confirmed intention of FinecoBank S.p.A. to proceed with the payment, within the deadline established by the relevant legislation, of the voluntary extraordinary contribution of 27.5% of the amount of the aforementioned reserve as of December 31, 2025, for an amount equal to Euro 8,381,612.25, we propose approving the elimination of the aforementioned negative reserve by covering it with the available Extraordinary Reserve for the same amount of Euro 8,381,612.25. This reserve cannot be subject to further changes, it has definitive characteristics. The proposal has no impact on the overall amount of shareholders' equity. Once the obligations set forth in paragraphs 70 and 71 of Article 1 of the 2026 Budget Law have been fulfilled, thus obtaining the relevant effects, the amount of the "Non-distributable reserve pursuant to Article 26 of Legislative Decree No. 104 of 10 August 2023", equal to Euro 30,478,590.00, will consequently be allocated to the Extraordinary Reserve.
2. RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED TO THE ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

DETERMINATION OF THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
DETERMINATION OF THE TERM OF OFFICE OF THE DIRECTORS
APPOINTMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Shareholders,
We have called you to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to resolve, inter alia, on the appointment of the Board of Directors of FinecoBank S.p.A. (the "Company" or "FinecoBank"), after determining the number of Directors and their mandate.
In connection with the foregoing, the proposals submitted for your approval are described below.
1. DETERMINATION OF THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS, APPOINTMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SETTING OF THE DURATION OF THEIR MANDATE.
1.1 Reasons and evaluations of the proposal for the appointment of the Board of Directors and determining the duration of its mandate
The Company's Board of Directors, appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2023, expires with the approval of the financial statements as at December 31, 2025; this Shareholders' Meeting is therefore called to resolve on the appointment of the new Board of Directors, after determining the number of members and the duration of their mandate.
In this regard, please note that pursuant to Article 13 of the Articles of Association and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the members of the Board of Directors shall be appointed on the basis of lists submitted by eligible parties. The parties with the right to submit lists are the Board of Directors as well as multiple shareholders who, either alone or together with others own, collectively, voting shares representing the percentage of share capital required by current laws or regulations. It should be noted that Consob, in its Executive Resolution of the Head of the Corporate Governance Division no. 155 of January 27, 2026, set the minimum shareholding required for FinecoBank to present lists of candidates for election to the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors at 1% of share capital.
It should also be noted that pursuant to article 13 of the Articles of Association, the Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of 9 (nine) and a maximum of 13 (thirteen) members. The members of the Board of Directors shall remain in office for three years (except where a shorter term is decided upon at the time of their appointment) and their mandate shall expire on the date of the shareholders' meeting approving the financial statements for the last year of their office.
The members of the Board must be suitable for the performance of the office, in accordance with the legislation in force at the time and the Articles of Association and, in particular, they must meet the requirements of professionalism, integrity and independence and comply with the criteria of competence,

ITEMS NO. 4, 5 AND 6 ON THE AGENDA
correctness and dedication of time and the specific limits on the number of positions held as set out by legislation in force and by the Articles of Association, for the performance of the office of director of a bank issuing shares listed on regulated markets.
Furthermore, the majority of the members of the Board of Directors must meet, in addition to the independence requirements set forth in the regulations in force at the time, the independence requirements established by the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies in force at the time.
Where - as in the present case - the outgoing Board of Directors submits its own slate, each list with a number of candidates equal to or greater than 2 (two) (i) must be made up of candidates belonging to both genders, to ensure respect for the gender balance at least to the minimum extent required by current laws and regulations (i.e., at least two fifths, taking into account the provisions of Article 144-undecies.1 of the Consob Regulation adopted by resolution No. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended ("Issuers' Regulation"))¹ and (ii) must ensure that at least the majority of the candidates (i.e. half for lists containing 2 (two) candidates) meet the independence requirements set out in the Articles of Association, without prejudice to the fact that the first candidate on any list submitted by shareholders, even if it contains only one candidate, must meet the aforementioned independence requirements.
As mentioned, those shareholders who, either alone or jointly with others, hold shares with voting rights representing at least 1% of the share capital, are entitled to submit lists. Ownership of the minimum shareholding for submission of the lists is determined with regard to the shares registered in the name of an individual shareholder, or more than one shareholder jointly, on the day on which the lists are filed with the Company and shall be certified in accordance with the applicable legislation; this certification can be received by the Company after the filing, provided within the period set for the publication of the lists by the Company, i.e., 21 days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting.
Each entitled party (including the entitled parties belonging to the same group or who are parties to a shareholders' agreement concerning FinecoBank shares, or who are otherwise related to each other by virtue of relevant relationships as envisaged under the applicable legislative and/or regulatory provisions) may submit or contribute to the submission of only one list. Likewise, each candidate may appear on only one list under penalty of ineligibility.
The lists must be filed with the Registered Office or the Head Office of the Company or by certified email by April 4, 2026. Together with each list, by the deadline indicated for their filing, the entitled persons shall also deposit any additional documents or declarations required by laws or regulations in force at the time, and by the Articles of Association as indicated in the notice of call of the Shareholders' Meeting.
A list that does not meet the above requirements shall be disregarded.
It is recalled that, for the appointment of the Board of Directors, the provisions set forth in new Article 147-ter.1 of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (Testo Unico della Finanza – “TUF”), introduced by Law No. 21 of 5 March 2024 (the “Capital Markets Law” – “Legge Capitali”), the related implementing provisions contained in the Issuers’ Regulation, as well as the new provisions of the Articles of Association approved by the extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of 10 March 2026, shall apply. As a result, inter alia,
¹ Pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 144-undecies.1 of the Regulation on Issuers, 'If the application of the gender distribution criterion does not result in a whole number of members of the administration or control bodies belonging to the least represented gender, such number shall be rounded up to the next higher unit, except for corporate bodies made up of three members for which the rounding down shall be to the next lower unit'.

ITEMS NO. 4, 5 AND 6 ON THE AGENDA
the slate submitted by the Board of Directors must include a minimum number of candidates equal to the board size proposed by the Board itself, increased by one third, rounded to the nearest whole number where such increase does not result in an integer. Such increase is aimed at enabling any subsequent individual vote on each candidate. Furthermore, should the slate submitted by the Board of Directors be the slate receiving the highest number of votes at the Shareholders’ Meeting, the board committee established in respect of internal control and risk management (i.e. the Risks and Related Party Transactions Committee) shall be chaired by an independent director selected from among those elected from minority slates. Shareholders are therefore invited to take this provision into account when drawing up their own slates.
In relation to the above, we invite you to read and take into account:
- the recommendations set out by Consob in Communication no. DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009 concerning relationships between lists;
- the "Qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board of Directors of FinecoBank S.p.A.", with the results of the preliminary analysis carried out by the Board of Directors (aided by the Appointments Committee) on its optimal qualitative/quantitative composition in view of properly performing its functions, in accordance, inter alia, with the corporate governance provisions set out in Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of December 17, 2013. This document, approved by the Board of Directors, is available on the website of FinecoBank ("Governance/Shareholders' Meeting" Section). Shareholders are in any case entitled to express differing views on the optimal composition of the Board of Directors, explaining any discrepancies with the directors' own analysis.
- the document titled "Information on the procedure for appointing the corporate bodies of FinecoBank" (in particular Part A of said document) with more detailed information on the procedure for the appointment of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the documents required for filing lists available on the website of FinecoBank (section "Governance / Shareholders' Meeting").
1.2 Appointment procedure
The appointment of the Board of Directors shall therefore be conducted as follows, pursuant to the Articles of Association.

In scenarios other than those referred to under items 2 below (i.e., where the slate submitted by the Board of Directors is the slate receiving the highest number of votes at the Shareholders’ Meeting) and 3 below (i.e., where the slate submitted by the Board of Directors is the only slate duly submitted or the only slate to receive votes at the Shareholders’ Meeting):
a) from the list that received the majority of votes cast, Directors equal to the number to be elected are drawn in consecutive order as they appear on the list except, depending on the case, 2 (two) or 3 (three) that will be taken from the minority list(s) that are not connected with those who submitted or voted for the list that obtained the highest number of votes in accordance with the current regulations, as specified below:
a.1) if only two lists are submitted, the remaining 2 (two) Directors will be drawn in consecutive order from the second list that received the highest number of votes at the meeting;
a.2) if 3 (three) or more lists are submitted, 2 (two) Directors will be drawn in consecutive order from the second list that obtained the highest number of votes at the meeting regardless of the percentage of votes received, while 1 (one) Director will be drawn in consecutive order from the third list that

ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING
ITEMS NO. 4, 5 AND 6 ON THE AGENDA
received the highest number of votes at the meeting provided that it received at least 2% of the votes cast at the meeting, it being understood that in the event of the failure to receive this percentage by the third list by number of votes the mechanism provided for in the previous paragraph a.1) will be applied;
b) if the majority list does not reach a sufficient number of candidates for the election of the number of Directors to be appointed, according to the mechanism indicated in paragraph a), all the candidates from the majority list shall be elected and the remaining Directors shall be taken from the list that obtained the highest number of votes from among the minority lists, in the order in which they were listed and, if necessary, from the minority lists ranked below the most-voted minority list, again in the order in which the candidates were listed, until the number of Directors to elect has been reached;
c) if the number of candidates included in the lists submitted, both majority and minority, is lower than the number of Directors to be elected, the remaining Directors are elected by resolution passed by the Shareholders' Meeting by a relative majority (and therefore without taking into account any abstentions) ensuring compliance with the principles of independence and balance between the genders set out by articles 13, paragraphs 3 and 6, respectively of the Articles of Association. In the event of a tie between candidates, the shareholders' meeting shall hold a second round of voting;
d) where only one, or no lists have been submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph c) above; in the event of a tie between lists or candidates, the shareholders' meeting shall hold a second round of voting to establish their ranking;
e) if the required number of independent Directors and/or of Directors of the less-represented gender is not appointed, any Directors on the most-voted list and appearing highest on the list who do not meet the requirements in question shall be replaced by the next candidates from the same list who do meet the requirements. If, following the application of this criterion, it is still not possible to identify Directors with the mentioned characteristics, this principle shall be applied to the other minority lists from which the elected candidates were drawn;
f) if, even after applying the replacement principle set out in paragraph e) above, it is still not possible to identify any suitable Directors, the Meeting shall resolve by relative majority (and therefore without taking into account any abstentions). In this case, the replacements shall be effected starting from the most voted lists and from the candidates bearing the highest number in consecutive order.
- 2 -
If, on the other hand, the slate submitted by the Board of Directors is the one that has obtained the highest number of votes, the members of the Board of Directors shall be elected as follows:
a) the minorities must be assigned a total number of seats on the Board of Directors equal to twenty per cent of the total number of members of that body, rounded up to the next whole number if the application of the allocation quota indicated does not result in a whole number of members to be allocated to the minorities. The seats allocated to the minorities, as defined above, are then distributed as follows:
a.1) if the first two minority lists that are not linked to the Board list under current regulations, as determined by the votes cast at the Shareholders' Meeting, obtain a total of no more than twenty per cent of the total votes cast, those two minority lists shall compete for the seats allocated to the minorities and, in particular, such seats shall be distributed among them in proportion to the votes they have obtained, as follows. Specifically, these votes are divided by one, two, three, and so on. The quotients thus obtained are consecutively assigned to the candidates on each of these lists, in the order in which they are listed on the lists. The quotients thus assigned to the candidates on these lists are arranged in a single descending order.
emarket

CERTIFIED
ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING
ITEMS NO. 4, 5 AND 6 ON THE AGENDA
Those who have obtained the highest results are elected, up to the total number of Directors to be elected from the minorities. If several candidates have obtained the same quotient, the candidate from the list that has not yet elected any Directors or that has elected the fewest Directors is elected. If none of these lists has yet elected a Director or if all have elected the same number of Directors, the candidate from the list that has obtained the highest number of votes is elected.
In the event of a tie in the list votes and again in the case of a tie in the quotient, a new vote shall be taken by the entire Shareholders' Meeting, and the candidate who obtains a simple majority of the votes (and therefore without taking into account any abstentions) shall be elected. If there is only one minority list (and it has not obtained more than twenty per cent of the total votes cast), the Directors due to the minorities shall be drawn entirely from that list;
a.2) if the first two minority lists that are not linked to the Board list under current regulations, as determined by the votes cast at the Shareholders' Meeting, obtain a total of more than twenty per cent of the total votes cast at the Shareholders' Meeting, the seats due to the minorities shall be distributed - in proportion to the votes obtained respectively - among the minority lists that have obtained a percentage of votes not less than three per cent of the votes cast at the Shareholders' Meeting, with the clarification that these lists shall also be allocated proportionally the votes obtained by those that have obtained a percentage of votes less than three per cent. For the purposes of distribution, the quotient mechanism shall apply, as well as the additional provisions for cases of a tie referred to in point a.1) above. Furthermore, even in this case, where there is a single minority list (and it has obtained more than twenty per cent of the total votes cast), the Directors due to the minorities shall be drawn entirely from that list;
b) The remaining seats on the Board are allocated to the list submitted by the Board of Directors, according to the following procedures:
(i) the Shareholders' Meeting proceeds to a further individual vote on each candidate on the list submitted by the Board of Directors;
(ii) the aforementioned candidates are ranked according to the number of votes obtained by each of them, from highest to lowest;
(iii) the candidates who have obtained the most votes are elected, up to the number of seats to be allocated to the list submitted by the Board of Directors;
(iv) in the event of a tie between candidates, the order in which they are listed on the list shall be used. This criterion also applies to candidates who equally do not receive any votes;
c) if the minority lists entitled to allocation do not have a sufficient number of candidates to ensure that the number of Directors to be elected from them is reached in accordance with the mechanisms indicated in letter a), the remaining Directors shall be drawn from the other minority lists (entitled to allocation) by applying the quotients and the additional provisions for cases of a tie referred to in letter a.1) above, until the number of Directors to be elected is completed. If it is not possible to identify the remaining Directors in this way, they shall be chosen from among the unelected candidates on the Board of Directors' list in the order indicated in letter b(ii) above or, in the cases and in accordance with the provisions of letter b)(iv) above, on the basis of the consecutive order in which they are listed on the list;
d) if, on the basis of the above criteria, the minimum number of Independent Directors and/or Directors belonging to the under-represented gender is not elected, the candidates drawn from the Board of Directors' list who do not meet the relevant requirements and who obtained the lowest number of votes in the additional individual vote referred to in letter b(i) above or, in the cases and in accordance with letter b)

(iv), who bear the highest consecutive number on the list, shall be replaced by the next candidates meeting the requirement or requirements from the same list, in the order indicated in letter b(ii) above or, again in the cases and in accordance with the provisions of letter b)(iv) above, on the basis of the lowest consecutive number which they bear on the list. If, even after applying this criterion, it is not possible to identify a sufficient number of Directors with the above characteristics, the replacement shall apply to the minority lists (entitled to allocation and from which the elected candidates were drawn), based on the highest quotients pursuant to letter a.1) above or the additional provisions set out in the same letter for cases of a tie, up to the number of members to be replaced;
e) if, even after applying the replacement criteria referred to in letter d) above, no suitable replacements are identified, the Shareholders' Meeting shall decide by relative majority (and therefore without taking into account any abstentions). In this case too, unsuitable candidates shall be replaced in the order set out in letter d) above.
-3-
If the list submitted by the Board of Directors is the only one duly submitted or the only one to receive votes at the Shareholders' Meeting, the Directors to be elected shall be drawn entirely from that list, without prejudice to the need to proceed in accordance with item 2, letter b). If the minimum number of Independent Directors and/or Directors belonging to the less represented gender is not elected, the Directors who do not meet the relevant requirements and who obtained the lowest number of votes in the additional individual vote referred to in letter b(i) above or, in the cases and in accordance with the provisions of letter b) (iv), who bear the highest consecutive number on the list, shall be replaced by the next candidates meeting the requirement or requirements from the same list, in the order indicated in letter b(ii) above or, again in the cases and in accordance with the provisions of letter b)(iv) above, with the lowest consecutive number. If it is not possible to identify a sufficient number of suitable replacements in this way either, the Shareholders' Meeting shall decide by relative majority (and therefore without taking into account any abstentions) and the unsuitable candidates shall be replaced in the order set out above.
With reference to the possibility, expressly provided for in the Articles of Association, for the Board of Directors to submit its own slate of candidates, we hereby inform you that the outgoing management body has identified, on the basis of the above-mentioned document “Qualitative and Quantitative Composition of the Board of Directors of FinecoBank S.p.A.”, its own slate of candidates. Such identification was carried out taking into account the Board’s orientation as to the board size deemed optimal, identified as 13 (thirteen) members.
In accordance with the new framework introduced by the legislation referred to above (the Capital Markets Law), the slate submitted by the Board of Directors must include a number of candidates equal to the board size proposed by the Board itself (13 members), increased by one third and rounded to the nearest whole number. In the present case, this resulted in the inclusion of an additional 4 (four) candidates in the slate. Accordingly, the slate submitted by the Board of Directors is composed of a total of 17 (seventeen) candidates.
It is further specified that, taking into account the optimal qualitative composition identified in the document “Qualitative and Quantitative Composition of the Board of Directors of FinecoBank S.p.A.”, the

Board of Directors has arranged the candidates in its slate according to an order intended to ensure the best possible combination of experience and skills, with a view to achieving the most appropriate overall qualitative composition of the body. In particular, the order of presentation of the candidates was determined so as to reflect the mix of competences that the Board of Directors considers best suited to ensure an optimal overall qualitative composition of the body. Consequently, such progression may constitute a useful reference for the purposes of any subsequent individual vote on the single candidates.
This matter is brought to the attention of the Shareholders’ Meeting so that it may take it into account should an individual vote be held on the candidates included in the slate submitted by the Board of Directors.
The list was drawn up based on the "Process for the selection of candidates for the position of member of the Board of Directors" (available on the Bank's website as Annex B of the FinecoBank Corporate Bodies Regulations).
Lastly, it is recalled that each person entitled to vote may cast a vote for only one slate, without prejudice to the right to take part in any subsequent individual vote on the candidates included in the slate submitted by the Board of Directors, should such slate obtain the highest number of votes.

In formulating the above proposal, the following elements were taken into account, among others:

- market benchmark data on the remuneration of members of the administrative body and of Board Committees, prepared by the independent external advisor to the Remuneration Committee, with reference to a sample of major FTSE MIB-listed banks comparable to FinecoBank, showing that current remuneration levels are positioned below the market median;
- the need for appropriate differentiation of remuneration depending on the complexity of the role and the related level of commitment required.

In connection with the foregoing, the proposals submitted for your approval are described below.

The Company's Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2023, expires with the approval of the financial statements as at December 31, 2025; this Shareholders' Meeting is therefore called to resolve on the appointment of the new Board of Statutory Auditors whose members, in accordance with the Articles of Association, will remain in office for three years and will therefore expire on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last year of their mandate.
In this regard, please note that pursuant to article 23 of the Articles of Association and to current legal and regulatory provisions, the appointment of Standing and Alternate Statutory Auditors shall be made on the basis of lists of candidates submitted by entitled parties, in which the candidates shall be listed in numerical order.
Lists shall be divided in two sections, containing respectively up to three candidates for the position of Standing Statutory Auditor and up to two candidates for the position of Alternate Statutory Auditor. At least the first two candidates for the position of Standing Statutory Auditor and at least the first candidate for the position of Alternate Statutory Auditor included in the respective lists must be registered in the national register of auditors and must have practiced statutory auditing of accounts for a period of not less than three years.
In addition, pursuant to article 23, paragraph 2, of the Articles of Association, the Statutory Auditors must be suitable to hold the office, in accordance with the provisions of the legislation in force at the time and the Articles of Association and, in particular, they must meet the requirements of professionalism, integrity and independence and comply with the criteria of competence, correctness and dedication of time and the specific limits on the number of positions held as set out by legislation in force at the time and by the Articles of Association.
The Statutory Auditors, in addition to the independence requirements provided for by the laws and regulations in force from time to time, must meet the independence requirements set out in the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, as amended from time to time.

ITEM NO. 8 ON THE AGENDA
Each list for the position of Standing Statutory Auditor and Alternate Statutory Auditor must include a number of candidates of the less represented gender such that the list satisfies at least the minimum gender balance required by the applicable laws and regulations (i.e., at least one third of the Standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of FinecoBank, taking into account the provisions of Article 144-undecies.1 of the Consob Regulation adopted by resolution No. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended ("Issuers' Regulation")¹).
Those shareholders who, either alone or jointly with others, hold collectively shares with voting rights representing at least 1% of the share capital, are entitled to submit lists². Ownership of the minimum shareholding for submission of the lists is determined with regard to the shares registered in the name of an individual shareholder, or more than one shareholder jointly, on the day on which the lists are filed with the Company and shall be certified in accordance with the applicable legislation; this certification can be received by the Company after the filing, provided within the period set for the publication of the lists by the Company, i.e., 21 days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting.
Each entitled party (including the entitled parties belonging to the same group or who are parties to a shareholders' agreement concerning FinecoBank shares, or who are otherwise related to each other by virtue of relevant relationships as envisaged under the applicable legislative and/or regulatory provisions) may submit or contribute to the submission of only one list. Likewise, each candidate may appear on only one list under penalty of ineligibility.
The lists must be filed with the Registered Office or the Head Office of the Company or by certified email by April 4, 2026. Together with each list, by the deadline indicated for their filing, the entitled persons shall also deposit any additional documents or declarations required by laws or regulations in force at the time, and by the Articles of Association as indicated in the notice of call of the Shareholders' Meeting.
In the event that, upon the deadline for submitting the lists, (i) only one list has been filed, or only (ii) lists submitted by Shareholders who, under current legislation, are related to each other, the Company shall promptly give notice by a special press release within the deadline and in the manner prescribed by law; if so, lists may be submitted until April 7, 2026 (i.e., by the third day following the deadline) by Shareholders representing, alone or jointly with others, at least 0.5% of the capital made up by the ordinary shares, subject to the other terms and conditions for submission.
A list that does not meet the above requirements shall be disregarded.
In relation to the above, in filing the lists, we invite you to read and take into account:
- the recommendations set out by Consob in Communication no. DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009 concerning relationships between lists;
- the document titled "Information on the procedure for appointing the corporate bodies of FinecoBank," and in particular Part B of said document, with more detailed information on the procedure for the appointment of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the documents required for filing lists available on the website of FinecoBank (section "Governance / Shareholders' Meeting").
¹ Pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 144-undecies.1 of the Regulation on Issuers, "If the application of the gender distribution criterion does not result in a whole number of members of the administration or control bodies belonging to the least represented gender, such number shall be rounded up to the next higher unit, except for corporate bodies made up of three members for which the rounding down shall be to the next lower unit".
² It should be noted that, by Executive Resolution (Determination) of the Head of the Corporate Governance Division no. 155 of January 27, 2026, Consob set, for FinecoBank, the minimum shareholding required to submit lists of candidates for the election of the administrative and control bodies at 1% of the share capital.

DETERMINATION, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 23, PARAGRAPH 17, OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, OF THE REMUNERATION DUE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS
In connection with the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors submitted to today's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, you are also convened to resolve on the determination of the annual remuneration due to the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the entire duration of their mandate.
It should be recalled that the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2023 set the gross annual remuneration for the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors at EUR 80,000 gross per year for the Chair and EUR 65,000 gross per year for each Standing Auditor, in addition to EUR 600 as an attendance fee for each meeting of the Board of Statutory Auditors and of the Board of Directors (and for meetings of the Risk and Related Parties Committee for the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors only).
Finally, please note that the Company will bear the cost of the insurance premium for the liability insurance policy covering corporate officers (including members of the Board of Statutory Auditors) against third-party claims, as already resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting.
Based on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, the Board recommends that the Shareholders set the remuneration for the Board of Statutory Auditors at EUR 100,000 for the Chair and EUR 75,000 for the Standing Auditors, in addition to EUR 600 as an attendance fee for each meeting of the Board of Statutory Auditors and of the Board of Directors (and for meetings of the Risk and Related Parties Committee for the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors only).
In formulating the above recommendation, the Board took into account:
- the progressive increase in the Bank's organizational and operational complexities due to its organic and business growth;
- the need to define competitive compensation levels in order to attract the best professional profiles in terms of skills and experience for the role of member of the Board of Statutory Auditors of FinecoBank, in line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, which states that, in order to ensure individuals with adequate competence and professionalism, the remuneration of members of the control body should take into account compensation practices within the relevant sectors and for companies of similar size; the proposal also considers the regulations on fit & proper requirements, including Ministerial Decree No. 169/2020, the ECB Guide to fit and proper assessments, and the EBA-ESMA Guidelines on the matter;
- market benchmark data on compensation for control body members prepared by the independent external advisor to the Remuneration Committee, with reference to a panel of major FTSE MIB-listed banks comparable to FinecoBank, showing a positioning below the market median.

2026 REMUNERATION POLICY
Dear Shareholders,
We have convened this Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to submit for your approval Section I – the 2026 Remuneration Policy of the "FinecoBank Group Remuneration Policy and Report", which will be made available to the public at least twenty-one days prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting held in single call. The document has been drafted in compliance with Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (the "TUF") and Bank of Italy Circular No. 285 of 17 December 2013 on "Supervisory Provisions for Banks" (the "Supervisory Provisions"). Under these provisions, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting is required to approve, among other items, Section I – the 2026 Remuneration Policy for the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the Supervisory Body, employees and staff not bound to the company by an employment contract (for example, financial advisors authorized to offer off-site services), and to cast an advisory vote on Section II – the 2025 Remuneration Report. The remuneration policy and incentive systems are aligned with prudent risk management and long-term strategies and they ensure a proper balance between fixed and variable remuneration components, as required by applicable regulations and, with regard to variable remuneration, provide for risk-adjusted systems and mechanisms designed to ensure a clear link between remuneration and actual, sustainable results.
Therefore, it is proposed that this Shareholders' Meeting approve Section I – the 2026 Remuneration Policy, which outlines the principles applied by the FinecoBank Group in developing, implementing and monitoring its compensation systems. The proposal was drafted by the Human Resources function, with contributions, among others, from the Compliance, Risk Management, Chief Financial Officer and Network Control, Monitoring and Network Services functions, each within their respective areas of expertise.

ITEM NO. 10 ON THE AGENDA
1. 2026 REMUNERATION POLICY
The key principles of the Group’s compensation policy, as illustrated in Section I – the 2026 Remuneration Policy are summarized below:
(a) clear and transparent governance, providing visibility into the role and activities of the Remuneration Committee, as well as the role of the Compliance, Internal Audit, Risk Management and Human resources functions;
(b) ongoing monitoring of market trends and practices, aimed at developing a competitive compensation framework that ensures transparency, internal equity and the motivation and retention of all staff;
(c) alignment with the Group's ESG strategy, focused on sustainable and organic growth through the integration of sustainability principles into business and operational decision-making;
(d) compliance with regulatory requirements and principles of good professional conduct;
(e) pay for sustainable performance, ensuring consistency between remuneration and performance.
Furthermore, in line with national and international regulations, the main contents of Section I are as follows:
(a) the compensation structure for both Employees and Financial Advisors, providing a clear description of each remuneration component;
(b) the ratio between variable remuneration and fixed remuneration. For staff belonging to business functions, the maximum 2:1 ratio – approved by the Fineco Shareholders' Meeting held on June 5, 2014 – remains unchanged; for the rest of the staff a maximum ratio of 1:1 generally applies. The variable remuneration of the Identified Staff with the Corporate Control Functions cannot exceed one third of fixed remuneration. The remuneration of the Head of Human Resources and the Manager in charge of preparing the financial statements is predominantly fixed. For Financial Advisors classified as Identified Staff, a 2:1 ratio applies between the so-called non-recurring remuneration and recurring remuneration. The adoption of the 2:1 ratio between variable and fixed remuneration has no impact on the Bank's ability to continue complying with prudential rules, particularly with respect to own funds requirements;
(c) the identification of the 2026 Identified Staff for both Employees and Financial Advisors;
(d) the description of the 2026 Incentive Systems for Identified Staff (Employees and Financial Advisors);
(e) the performance targets for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager for the year 2026, confirming the focus on ESG topics and sustainable development;
(f) the 2024-2026 long-term incentive plan for employees.

- the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager, the Deputy General Managers, the Executive Vice Presidents, the Senior Vice Presidents²;
- other selected roles (including new hires) identified by applying the criteria established by the regulatory provisions.
The total number of beneficiaries, as of January 22nd, 2026, is 24.
The potential beneficiaries of the 2026 System for Personal Financial Advisors (also “2026 PFA System”) are:
- Personal Financial Advisors identified by applying the criteria for the identification of Identified Staff established by the regulatory provisions;
- Personal Financial Advisors Managers who coordinate a structure to which is linked an overall portfolio equal to or greater than 5% of the total network assets.
The total estimated number of beneficiaries, as of January 22nd, 2026, is 25.
ELEMENTS OF THE 2026 INCENTIVE SYSTEMS
Below, the main elements of the 2026 Incentive Systems. In particular:
(a) the maximum variable remuneration that will be granted under the 2026 Incentive Systems is based on a bonus pool. The link between profitability, risk and remuneration is guaranteed by directly linking the bonus pool to company results, the cost of capital and the relevant risk profiles as defined in the relevant framework for determining the risk appetite;
(b) the bonus pool will be defined on the basis of company performance
(c) the 2026 Incentive Systems - in addition to attract, retain and motivate the beneficiaries – in line with both national and international regulatory requirements, provide for:
- the award of a variable incentive (or non-recurring for the personal financial advisors) that is defined on the basis of the established bonus pool, the evaluation of the individual performance and the internal benchmark for specific roles, as well as consistent with the maximum ratio between the fixed and variable (or non-recurring for the personal financial advisors) components defined by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting;
- the definition of a balanced structure of "upfront" (made at the time of the performance appraisal) and "deferred" payments, in cash and shares;
- payments of a portion of the variable remuneration (or non-recurring remuneration for Personal Financial Advisors) in free FinecoBank ordinary shares. Consistently with the applicable regulatory provisions, which require periods of unavailability on them, the payment structure provides for the actual allocation of the shares (both "upfront" and "deferred" installments) at the end of a one-year retention period;
² Defined according to the Global Job Model, a system describing, standardizing and allowing for the calibration of all roles. The Banding system (Global Banding Structure) is one of the fundamental elements of the Global Job Model.

CHANGES TO THE 2026 INCENTIVE SYSTEMS

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.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
ON
AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE AND DISPOSE OF TREASURY SHARES FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE 2026 INCENTIVE SYSTEMS FOR “IDENTIFIED STAFF”. RELATED AND CONSEQUENTIAL RESOLUTIONS
(pursuant to article 73, Consob Issuers' Regulation)
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, taking into consideration the proposed resolutions related to items No. 12 and 13 on the agenda of this same Meeting.
In order to acquire the financial instruments needed to carry out the 2026 Incentive Systems for the 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 2026 Incentive Systems 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 an overall maximum number of 666,425 ordinary shares, equal to about 0.1% of the current share capital, corresponding to a total amount not exceeding €5,550,000.00.
The number of treasury shares that may be purchased may never exceed the maximum limit of 20% of capital provided by the applicable regulation, also taking into consideration the 81,682 treasury shares owned by the Company at the date of the present report, equal to about 0.01%.
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.
The purchasing of treasury shares reduces the net worth of an equal amount, through the inclusion among the liabilities in the balance sheet of a specific item with a negative sign.
The proposal foresees that purchasing and disposition orders of treasury shares have to be made on regulated capital markets, according to art. 132 of the Consolidated Finance Act (TUF) and to art. 144-bis (1) (b) of Consob regulation 11971/99, with the same operational procedures described in the regulations of organization and management of such markets in order to guarantee equal treatment for all Shareholders and

ITEM NO. 14 ON THE AGENDA
to avoid the direct matching of purchase orders against pre-determined sell orders; in particular, these purchases will have to be made:
(i) by public offering for purchase or trade;
(ii) on regulated capital markets, according to the operational procedures described in the regulations of organization and management of such markets, which do not allow the direct matching of purchase orders against pre-determined sell orders;
(iii) by allocating to Shareholders, proportionally to their own shares, a put option to be exercised during the period of the authorization granted by the Shareholders' Meeting to purchase treasury shares.
Sell operations of treasury shares in portfolio will be executed in the manner deemed most appropriate in the Company's interest, including transfer and/or the assignment to execute equity incentive plans, without time limits.
The purchasing of treasury shares will be carried out in accordance with the procedure and within the operational limits established by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation), by Article 3 of the European Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016 and the applicable general and industry sector regulations.
Treasury shares will be purchased at a maximum unit price not exceeding the highest between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent bid on the trading venue where the purchase is made. In any event, it is proposed that the purchasing price per share should not be below the nominal value per share, equal to Euro 0.33 and not above, as a maximum, the official closing price of FinecoBank ordinary shares registered in the Euronext Milan the day preceding the purchase, increased by 15%.
The purchase of treasury shares will be made at volumes not exceeding 25% of the average daily volume of the shares on the trading venue where the purchase is made, calculated based on the average daily volume traded during the 20 trading days prior to the purchase date.
Regarding the disposal of the treasury shares, the Board of Directors will establish from time to time the criteria for the definition of the corresponding fees and/or modalities, terms and conditions of purpose of treasury shares in portfolio, taking into consideration the procedure followed, the share price trend in the period prior to the transactions and the best interest of the Company.
Any treasury shares purchased under the present resolution, as well as those already in FinecoBank's possession, if exceeding the amount needed for the 2026 Incentive Systems, could be assigned to previous or future incentive systems or to other needs related to variable or non-recurring remuneration.
Finally, it is proposed that the authorization to purchase is released for a period of eighteen months from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting that passed the resolution for authorization, notwithstanding the required authorizations of the Supervisory Authorities.
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

EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING
EXPLANATORY REPORT BY THE DIRECTORS
Amendments to Articles 15 and 17 of the Articles of Association, aimed at allowing the separation of the offices of Managing Director and General Manager. Related and consequent resolutions.
Dear Shareholders,
you have been called to attend the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of FinecoBank S.p.A. (the "Company" or "FinecoBank" or the "Bank") in order to resolve upon certain amendments to the Articles of Association aimed at introducing the possibility of a subjective separation between the roles of Managing Director and General Manager, so as to ensure the Bank has the organisational flexibility required to respond effectively to developments in its reference framework.
This report has been prepared to illustrate the reasons for the proposed resolutions relating to the item on the agenda, in accordance with Article 125-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and with the provisions set out in Article 72 and Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation.
1. RATIONALE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The Bank's current governance model, as governed by the Articles of Association, provides for the coincidence of the offices of Managing Director and General Manager: Article 15 in fact provides that, should the Board of Directors appoint a Managing Director and a General Manager, both offices must be held by the same individual.
In view of the Bank's increasing managerial and operational complexity, as well as the evolving dynamics of the overall system context, and in order to support the ongoing processes of innovation, transformation and strategic development aimed at FinecoBank's growth, it is proposed to amend the Articles of Association so as to leave open the possibility – consistent with the Bank's future evolution – of separating the roles of Managing Director and General Manager, which is currently precluded by the required coincidence of the two offices. In particular, this amendment will allow the Board of Directors, where appropriate, to consider and assess such separation, thereby enabling a new organisational structure characterised by a different allocation of delegations and powers. This is in the perspective of the natural evolution of the Bank's governance, with the aim of preserving the effectiveness of its organisational structure over time.
Specifically, the proposed amendments concern Articles 15 and 17 of the Articles of Association and are intended – for the reasons outlined above – to allow the separation between the role of Managing Director and that of General Manager, by removing the current constraint requiring the two offices to be held by the same individual. The intervention therefore entails the deletion of such obligation and the consequent
EMARKET
SURF BORNIA
EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING
ITEM 1 ON THE AGENDA
CERTIFIED
alignment of those provisions of the Articles of Association that had been drafted on the assumption that the two offices could not be held by different persons.
The main proposed amendments are outlined below, while the text showing the specific changes is set out in the following Paragraph 3.
As regards Article 15 of the Articles of Association, it is proposed to delete paragraph 5, which provided for the obligation to combine the offices of Managing Director and General Manager in the same individual, with the consequent updating of the numbering of the subsequent paragraphs.
Consistently with the possibility that the roles of Managing Director and General Manager may be held by different persons, it is proposed to revise current paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 (renumbered respectively as paragraphs 5, 6 and 7). In particular, it is provided that the Managing Director and the General Manager, each within their respective remit, shall ensure the implementation of the resolutions of the Board of Directors, making use of the General Management. The General Manager is also granted – always, and not only in the absence of the Managing Director – the right to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, with the right to submit proposals on matters falling within his/her competence, but without voting rights, as well as the obligation to report to the Board on the activities carried out, in the manner and within the time limits established by the Board.
Paragraph 4 of Article 15 of the Articles of Association is not amended in substance and continues to provide that the Managing Director shall also assume the functions and powers of the General Manager where the latter has not been appointed.
As regards Article 17, paragraph 5, relating to resolutions adopted by the Chairperson in cases of proven urgency upon proposal of the Managing Director or the General Manager, is updated by specifying that such proposal is submitted by the aforementioned persons, each within their respective remit.
2. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association described above do not grant a right of withdrawal to shareholders who do not take part in the relevant approval, as they do not fall within any of the cases for withdrawal set out under Articles 2437 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.
3. AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
In light of the above, Articles 15 and 17 of the Articles of Association shall be amended as follows:
