Attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting and Proxy Voting through the Appointed Representative
Shareholders entitled to vote may be represented at the Shareholders' Meeting by means of a written proxy, pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations.

The proxy may also be granted to Computershare S.p.A. – with offices in Turin, Via Nizza 262/73 – as the representative designated for this purpose by the Company pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the TUF (the "Designated Representative").
Shareholders wishing to avail themselves of this option may therefore grant the Designated Representative a proxy – together with voting instructions – on all or some of the proposed resolutions concerning the items on the agenda, by using the specific proxy form (including in electronic format) prepared by the Designated Representative in agreement with the Company.

Appointment of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors
The procedure for appointing the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors is governed by the provisions of the Italian Civil Code, the TUF and the related implementing regulations, as well as, respectively, by Articles 13 and 23 of the Articles of Association, to which reference is made. Against this background, the following is noted from the outset.
Board of Directors
Appointment of the members of the Board of Directors – Determination of the number of members of the Board of Directors – Composition of, and entitlement to submit, the lists
The appointment of the members of the Board of Directors is carried out on the basis of lists in which candidates must be indicated with a progressive number.

In this regard, please note that pursuant to Article 13 of the Articles of Association and in compliance
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
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.
The ownership of the minimum shareholding required for the submission of lists shall be determined by reference to the shares recorded in the name of the individual Shareholder, or of several Shareholders jointly, on the date on which the lists are filed with the Company, and must be certified in accordance with applicable law. Such certification may also be delivered to the Company after the filing, provided that it is received within the deadline set for the Company’s publication of the lists (i.e., no later than 21 days prior to the date scheduled 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.
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.
Terms and procedure for submitting the lists
The lists, under penalty of forfeiture, must be filed with the Registered Office or the Head Office of the Company, (expressly stating: “for the attention of the Corporate Law & Board Secretary’s Office), or by certified email to [email protected] attaching the documents in PDF format provided that the filing party, including a legal entity, uses its own certified email or, failing that, signs the electronic document (PDF) with advanced, qualified or ature, by 4 April 2026.
Together with each list, by the deadline indicated in the paragraph above for their submission, the entitled persons who have submitted a list shall also deposit any additional documents or declarations required by laws or regulations in force at the time, and:
- for Shareholders, details of the Shareholders who submitted the list, indicating the total shareholding held by each;
- exhaustive information on the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates included in the list (Curriculum Vitae) and the list of administration, management and control positions they hold in other companies;
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'.

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, in accordance with Article 144.undecies.1 of the Consob Issuer's Regulation, as the Control Body of FinecoBank consists of three standing members).
Under the Articles of Association, the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors is assigned to the person who is first in the minority list of the regular Statutory Auditors that has obtained the most votes.
Shareholders who, either alone or together with others, collectively hold voting shares representing at least the percentage of share capital required under applicable laws and regulations are entitled to submit lists. It should be noted that Consob, in its Executive Resolution of the Head of the Corporate Governance Division no. 155 of 27 January 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. Minority shareholders who are not affiliated with the shareholders concerned shall be entitled to extend the deadline for presenting lists in the circumstances and according to the procedures set forth in current laws and regulations.
