Point 1 of the Ordinary session agenda

Approval of the "2018 – 2021 Stock Option Plan" concerning ordinary Giglio Group S.p.A. shares, reserved for Executive Directors and/or Senior Executives. Resolutions thereon.

Dear Shareholders,

the Board of Directors has called you to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to submit for your approval, as per Article 114-bis of the CFA, an incentive and loyalty creation plan to comprise a component of the medium/long-term remuneration of a number of members of Giglio Group S.p.A. (the "company") management.

This concerns a stock option plan called the "2018-2021 Stock Option Plan" (the "Plan") reserved for executive directors and senior executives of the company, identified as beneficiaries by the Board of Directors, having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (the "Beneficiaries").

The initiative's objective is to focus managers in certain positions on business goals, whom are however considered worthy of incentivisation and retention mechanisms from an operating viewpoint, on growing the value of the share over the medium/long-term, through assigning options for the purchase of company shares at a pre-set price, of a variable number and however subject to achieving preestablished performance levels.

The key terms and conditions of the Plan subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting are summarised below, considering also that the proposal includes also the assignment to the Board of Directors of the power to draw up the Plan regulation before submittal for the approval of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee - having acquired (where required) - the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors as per Article 2389 of the Civil Code (the "Plan Regulation").

For further details, reference should be made to the Plan document (the "Disclosure Document"), prepared as per Article 84-bis and Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation, available for consultation on the company website www.giglio.org in the Corporate Governance Section.

1. Reasons for adoption of the Plan

The company considers share-based remuneration plans as an effective instrument to incentivise and create loyalty among those in key roles, in order to maintain and improve performance levels and also to contribute to boosting growth and the success of the company and of the Group.

In particular, the Plan is an appropriate instrument to align the interest of the Beneficiaries with those of shareholders, supporting the pursuit of the key objective of creating value over the medium/long-term.

The Plan also recognises key personnel for their dedicated efforts to the Group's growth over recent years, culminating with the successful listing and the transfer from the AIM - Italian market to the STAR Segment on the main Italian Stock Exchange index.

2. Subject and duration of the Plan

The Plan stipulates the assignment to Beneficiaries of a total maximum 690,000 options (the "Options"), freely and non-transferable, assigning the right to subscribe or purchase ordinary company shares in the ratio of 1 ordinary share for every 1 Option exercised.

At the assignment date, the Board of Directors of the company, having consulted with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, will identify the Beneficiaries of the Plan and establish the number of Options corresponding to each Beneficiary (the "Assignment Date"). The number of Options assigned shall be defined by assessing the contribution of each Beneficiary to the achievement of the strategy and the objectives to create fresh value, taking account of the strategic relevance of the position held and the centrality of the activities undertaken to company and Group operations.

The Options shall be assigned to the Beneficiaries in a personal capacity and may not in any case be transferred by deed between living persons, nor shall they form the basis of any guarantee, privilege, restriction, or option, at the risk of lapse of all relative rights. In the case of violation by the Beneficiary of the prohibition upon transfer, such Options shall lose all rights and all validity.

The duration of the Plan extends until the final deadline by which the options relating to the third tranche may be exercised by the Beneficiary and therefore covers six years from the Assignment Date. The Shareholders' Meeting may renew it or extend its duration, applying all the supplementations and amendments considered necessary or appropriate to adjust the Plan to regulations, as applicable, or to altered Group needs.

3. Exercise of the Options

The Options may be exercised by each Beneficiary over a three-year vesting period (the "Vesting Period"), broken down into three tranches, as indicated below:

  • first tranche: up to 20% of the assigned options; such may be exercised within 1 year from the Assignment Date;
  • second tranche: up to 30% of the assigned options; such may be exercised within 2 years from the Assignment Date; and
  • third tranche: up to 50% of the assigned options; such may be exercised within 3 years from the Assignment Date;

The options assigned under the above-mentioned tranches shall mature, in full or in part, only where the specific annual performance objectives (the "Objectives") based on the consolidated EBITDA of the Group indicated in the Disclosure Document have been achieved. The achievement of these Objectives shall be verified annually by the Board of Directors following the approval of the company's financial statements.

For each tranche, following verification of the achievement of the Objectives, the company shall communicate to each Beneficiary the number of assigned Options maturing, and therefore exercisable. All the Options which, on the basis of the Objectives, do not mature, shall be considered as lapsed and may no longer be exercised, except where otherwise decided by the Board of Directors.

Beneficiaries exercising their matured Options have the right to receive for each Option exercised 1 ordinary share with full rights, following payment of the exercise price, which shall be established at the Assignment Date by the Board of Directors, having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, on the basis of the average of the official share price recorded by the company on the Italian Stock Exchange in the month preceding the Assignment Date.

Each Beneficiary may exercise the Options matured from each tranche for a period of three years from the relative maturation date, on conclusion of which the relative purchase and/or subscription rights shall lapse.

The Plan stipulates that the Beneficiaries may not exercise the Options during the thirty calendar days preceding the announcement to the market of the annual financial statements and the interim financial reports which the company is required to publish in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations. The Board of Directors, having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, may in addition set additional blocking periods regarding the exercise of the options or amend the terms indicated in the Plan Regulation in the case of significant legislative or regulatory changes.

4. Plan implementation means and clauses

The company shall make available to the Beneficiary the ordinary shares of the company devolving to the former following exercise of the matured Options according to the terms and means established by the Plan Regulation.

The Plan may be executed through utilising (i) treasury shares acquired following authorisation as per Article 2357 of the Civil Code granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of the company; (ii) newly issued shares from a paid-in divisible share capital increase approved by the Board of Directors, including in a number of tranches, subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Plan and the faculty to increase the share capital as per Article 2443 of the Civil Code, for a maximum nominal Euro 138,000, without pre-emption rights in accordance with Article 2441, paragraph 8 - and where applicable - paragraph 5 of the Civil Code, through the issue of a maximum 690,000 ordinary shares, without nominal value, and attaching the same features as the ordinary shares in circulation at the issue date, with full rights, to be reserved to the Plan beneficiaries.

As a condition of the Plan, this latter requires the existence and the maintenance of a managerial and/or employee relationship between the Beneficiaries and the company. The conclusion of this relationship, according to the situations envisaged by the Plan, affects the exercise of the Options and may result in the cancelling of the Options, according to the terms and conditions set out by the Plan Regulation. The right of the Beneficiaries to exercise the Options matured shall however be suspended from the moment any letter regarding disciplinary action is sent and until conclusion of the disciplinary process.

5. Limit upon the transfer of shares obtained

For each tranche, the Beneficiaries are required to hold on a continuous basis, for at least 18 months from the Assignment Date, at least 20% of the shares subscribed or acquired as a result of exercising the Options matured, less an amount of shares whose value corresponds to the exercise price of the Options matured which have been exercised and the related tax, pension and social security charges related to the conversion of the exercised options which have been effectively paid (the "sell to cover").

In addition, as per the recommendations of the Self-Governance Code, the Beneficiaries holding executive directorship positions are obliged, also following the above-indicated period of unavailability, to hold on a continuous basis, until the conclusion of mandate concerning each of the Vesting Periods, at least 20% of the shares subscribed or acquired as a result of exercising the Options matured, less a number of shares corresponding to the exercise price of the matured options converted and the tax, pension and social security charges related to the exercise of the options matured which have been effectively paid.

There are no further unavailability restrictions binding the Shares assigned following the exercise of the Matured Options.

The Plan also stipulates revocation and return clauses. In particular, where the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, declares, within 3 years from conclusion of the Plan, that the Objectives had been considered on the basis of data which was manifestly erroneous, or where declaring the malicious alteration of the data used as the basis for the achievement of the Objectives, the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, has the right to obtain from the Beneficiaries or the Beneficiary responsible for one of the above-stated acts and/or events, revocation of the Options assigned, or the return of the Shares owned by the Beneficiary, less a number of shares corresponding to the exercise price of the Options exercised and the tax, pension and social security charges related to the conversion of the exercised Options effectively paid, or, the return of the sale value (less the amount corresponding to the exercise price of the converted Options and

the tax, pension and social security charges related to the exercise of the matured Options) where the shares of the Beneficiary have been sold.

6. Support of the Plan from the special fund to incentivise worker involvement in enterprises

The Plan does not receive support from the special fund to incentivise worker involvement in enterprises, as per Article 4, paragraph 112 of Law No. 350 of December 24, 2003.

7. Plan adjustments

In the case of corporate transactions concerning the company or other events which may impact the Objectives, the Options, the shares or the Plan, the Board of Directors (having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee) may apply to the Plan the amendments and supplements considered necessary and/or appropriate to maintain the essential content of the Plan, as far as possible, in accordance with the objectives and the goals pursued and the economic and equity rights recognised.

In view of that outlined above, and referring you to the Disclosure Document for an analytical overview of the Plan, we submit for your approval the following

Point 2 of the Extraordinary session agenda

Resolutions thereon.

Dear Shareholders,

the Board of Directors has called you, in extraordinary session, to submit for your approval a proposal concerning the assignment to the Board of Directors of the faculty (the "Stock Option Faculty"), for a period of five years from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting motion, to undertake a divisible paid-in share capital increase, as per Article 2443 of the Civil Code, with the exclusion of pre-emption rights, as per Article 2441, paragraph 8 and - as far as applicable - paragraph 5 of the Civil Code, for a maximum nominal amount of Euro 138,000, through the issue, even in a number of tranches, of a maximum 690,000 ordinary company shares without nominal value (the "Stock Option Share Capital Increase"), in exclusive service of the "2018 - 2021 Stock Option Plan".

1. Reasons for the Stock Option Share Capital Increase

The motion submitted to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting is required to implement the Plan reserved for executive directors and/or senior executives of the company, which will be submitted for the review and approval of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting as point 1 on the agenda of the ordinary session of the Shareholders' Meeting of October 29, 2018.

Therefore, the proposal concerning the approval to assign to the Board the Stock Option Faculty is subject to approval of the Plan by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

The Plan states that a maximum 690,000 options are assigned to the Beneficiaries, conferring the right to subscribe or acquire ordinary company shares, without nominal value, in the ratio of one share to each option.

For execution of the Stock Option Share Capital Increase in service of the Plan, it is proposed therefore to assign to the Board of Directors, as per Article 2443 of the Civil Code, for a period of five years from the Shareholders' Meeting motion, the faculty to undertake a divisible paid-in share capital increase in accordance with Article 2443 of the Civil Code, with exclusion of the pre-emption right: (i) in accordance with Article 2441, paragraph 8 of the Civil Code in relation to Plan beneficiaries who are employees of the company and, as far as applicable, (ii) in accordance with Article

2441, paragraph 5 of the Civil Code, in relation to Plan beneficiaries who are not employees of the company, for a maximum nominal amount of Euro 138,000, through the issue, even in a number of tranches, of a maximum 690,000 ordinary company shares without nominal value, in exclusive service of the "2018-2021 Stock Option Plan".

The Stock Option Share Capital Increase excludes the pre-emption right in accordance with Article 2441, paragraph 8 and - as far as applicable - paragraph 5 of the Civil Code, as the newly issued shares are to be assigned to employees or directors of the company and such purposes justify exclusion of the pre-emption rights to shareholders.

The Board of Directors retains the faculty, having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, to utilise in service of the exercise of the options any shares held by the company and acquired as part of the treasury share buy-back programmes approved and executed in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.

For further details upon the Plan and the reasoning behind its adoption, reference should be made to that outlined above in this report concerning point 1 on the agenda of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting and the Disclosure Document drawn up as per Article 84-bis and Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation.

2. Results for the last financial year and general overview of current operations

The 2017 Annual financial report was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on May 11, 2018 and is available, together with the Group consolidated financial statements, at the registered office, on the company website www.giglio.org and on the eMarket Storage authorised storage mechanism.

With regards to the results for the last financial year, reference should therefore be made to the annual financial report and the accompanying documentation.

For a general overview of the operating performance and the outlook for the current year, reference should be made to the 2018 Half-Year Report, approved by the Board of Directors on September 10, 2018 and available at the registered office, on the company website www.giglio.org and on the eMarket Storage authorised storage mechanism.

3. Underwriting and/or placement consortium

No underwriting and/or placement consortiums, nor other forms of placement, have been established.

4. Share issue price

The Plan provides for the free allocation of a maximum 690,000 options for the subscription or purchase of ordinary company shares, in the ratio of 1 (one) share for every 1 (one) option, in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Plan.

The exercise price of the options, corresponding to the issue or sales price of the shares, shall be calculated, at the Assignment Date of the options to the beneficiaries, by the Board of Directors, having consulted with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, on the basis of the average official price of the company shares on the Italian Stock Exchange in the month preceding the option assignment date.

The criterion proposed for the calculation of the issue price of the shares was assessed by the Board of Directors as representative of the market price and as in line with best practice for listed companies with regards to the criterion adopted to establish the issue price of shares in service of stock option plans.

In exercising its faculty, the Board of Directors shall establish the portion of the issue price to be recognised as share capital and that to be recognised to the share premium reserve, subject to the fact that the increase in the nominal value of the share capital may not be greater than Euro 138,000.

5. Period for the execution of the Stock Option Faculty and the Stock Option Share Capital Increase

It is proposed to establish the duration of the Stock Option Faculty as the maximum legally permitted period of five years from the Shareholders' Meeting motion date and to establish that such may be exercised by the Board of Directors where considered beneficial and in line with the Plan objectives, providing disclosure to the market according to the terms and means for each individual tranche of the share capital increase, once established by the Board of Directors.

The Stock Option Share Capital Increase consists of a divisible share capital increase in accordance with Article 2439, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code and, therefore, may be partially or fully executed and subscribed, also in a number of tranches, by the conclusion of the exercise periods of the options assigned to Plan beneficiaries, as long as the directors are expressly authorised to issue new shares and that such are subscribed; therefore, partial subscriptions shall have immediate efficacy.

6. Rights of shares issued in exercise of the options

The newly issued shares from the Stock Option Share Capital Increase shall have the same rights as the ordinary company shares in circulation at the issue date of the new shares.

7. By-Law changes

The assignment of the Stock Option Faculty concerning the Stock Option Share Capital Increase, as described above, requires the amendment of Articles 6 of the By-Laws. For further details upon the By-Law amendments, reference should be made to that outlined in this report regarding point 4 of the agenda of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

In light of that outlined above, we submit for your approval the following
