Item no. 1 on the Extraordinary Meeting's Agenda

Authorisation for the Board of Directors, until 30 June 2021 to increase the share capital of Giglio Group S.p.A. upon payment, pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, in separate issues, excluding option rights, pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, second sentence of the Italian Civil Code, within the limits of 20% of the existing share capital -as set forth in Art. 44, par. 3 of the Law Decree 76/2020 later converted into Law 120/2020 - through the issue, also in more tranches, of ordinary shares without nominal value, to be offered in subscription to the individuals identified by the Board of Directors - including qualified industrial and/or financial Italian and international investors, and/or current shareholders and collaborators of the Company - on the condition that the issue price of the new shares corresponds to the market value of those already issued and that this is confirmed by a specific report from a statutory auditor or an auditing company. Resolutions pertaining thereto and resulting therefrom.

Dear Shareholders,

The Board of Directors has hereby called you, with this Extraordinary Meeting, in order to submit for your approval the draft resolution regarding the grant to the Board of Directors (the "Reserved Authorisation"), pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code and to Art. 6.7 of the Company's Bylaws, of an authorisation valid until 30 June 2021 (the "First Authorisation") to increase the share capital of Giglio Group S.p.A. upon payment, in separate issues, excluding option rights, pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, second sentence of the Italian Civil Code, within the limits of 20% of the existing share capital -as set forth in Art. 44, par. 3 of the "Simplification Decree" (Decree Law no. 76 of 16 July 2020, converted into Law no. 120/2020 on 11 September 2020).

The aforementioned capital increase shall be realised through the issue, of ordinary Giglio Group shares without nominal value, to be offered in subscription to the individuals identified by the Board of Directors - including qualified industrial and financial Italian and international investors, and/or current shareholders and collaborators of the Company - on the condition that the issue price of the new shares corresponds to the market value of those already issued and that this is confirmed by a specific report from a statutory auditor or an auditing company (the "First Reserved Increase").

1. Justifications for the First Authorisation and the First Reserved Increase and destination thereof

Art. 2441, par. 4, second sentence of the Italian Civil Code regulates the possibility - reserved to companies with shares listed in regulated markets - to include in their by-laws the exclusion of option rights for share capital increases within the limits of 10% of the existing share capital, on the condition that the issue price of the new shares corresponds to the market value of those already issued and that this is confirmed by a specific report from a statutory auditor or an auditing company.

Art. 44, par. 3 of Decree Law 76/2020, enacted during the "State of Emergency" arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, provides that, in derogation from Art. 2441 until 30 June 2021, the companies with shares listed in regulated markets or traded in multilateral trading systems may resolve on a share capital increase by new contributions, without option rights, pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4,

second sentence of the Italian Civil Code, also without express statutory provision, within the limits of 20% of the existing share capital.

The exercise of the First Authorisation and, therefore, the resolution of the first Reserved Increase, could allow, on the one hand, for the strengthening of the Company's economic and financial position and, on the other hand, for the development and growth of the Company, without burdening the financial debt and the income statement, given that the financial resources shall be introduced as share capital and at share premium, possibly also through the conversion of loan payables into risk capital by the shareholders.

As a matter of fact, the First Reserved Increase could be destined for the improvement of the financial structure of the Company and to the strengthening of its equity, as well as for the support and development of the Industrial Plan Moreover, the First Reserved Increase could be used for the procurement of financial resources aimed at supporting growth strategies, that is strategies aimed at improving existing investments and, more generally, at meeting the financial needs that may come to the fore over the period of validity of the authorisation.

Granting the First Authorisation to the Board of Directors shall allow for the achievement of advantages in terms of flexibility and timeliness of implementation for each capital increase transaction. The First Authorisation would allow the Board of Directors to operate with the necessary speed, seizing the most favourable conditions for gathering equity, which requires for decisions to be taken in a timely manner. The need to act with swiftness is even more paramount in the given uncertain and volatile context characterising the financial markets, especially over the last months due to the change in market trends following the global pandemic of COVID-19.

Moreover, the First Authorisation could allow for a more realistic assessment of the economic conditions in which the same would be exercised, allowing for a reduction of the period of time between the decision of the transaction to be taken and the execution of said transaction. Lastly, the width of the First Authorisation would allow the Board of Directors to assess, on a case-bycase basis, the better way to execute the authorisation itself, so as to swiftly make the most appropriate arrangements for the execution of the First Reserved Increase.

In the event that the First Authorisation is granted, the Board of Directors shall have to identify the operators to which the capital increase shall be reserved to, choosing the most advantageous solution - as far as the result is concerned - both for the Company and its shareholders and stakeholders. For this purpose, it is noted that the Board of Directors shall be able to assess whether a given operator can access the First Reserved Increase or not, on a case-by-case basis; the Increase shall be reserved also to major Italian and international investors and/or to the current shareholders and collaborators of the Company, in the event that these subjects possess the characteristics outlined by the Board of Directors.

In conclusion, the Board of Directors believes that the First Authorisation for a capital increase is the most appropriate tool for ensuring that both the Company's and its Shareholders' needs are met, by allowing the Board to define: i) the amount of the First Reserved Increase; ii) the final countervalue and the issue price of the new shares, also taking into account the Company's needs; iii) the most appropriate technical standards for seizing the opportunities that may come up in the market.

The justifications and criteria specified therein shall constitute the principles to which the Board of Directors shall abide by during the execution of the First Authorisation, without prejudice to the obligation to disclose every time through a special report the justifications for the execution of said

authorisation and the criteria by which the issue price shall be determined, as specified below (see par. 5).

2. 2019 final results and general information on the operating performance of 2020

The Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019, including Giglio Group S.p.A. Annual Financial Report, have been approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 23 April 2020 and is available, together with the Consolidated Financial Statements, at the Company's headquarters, on the Company's website www.giglio.org and on the authorised storage mechanism eMarket Storage.

With regards to the results of the last financial year, see the Financial Statements and the accompanying documentation.

With regards to the general information on the operating performance and the foreseeable outcome of the ongoing fiscal year, see the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement as at 30 June 2020, approved by the Board of Directors on 10 September 2020 and made available at the Company's headquarters, on the Company's website www.giglio.org and on the authorised storage mechanism eMarket Storage.

3. Procedures Governing the First Reserved Increase

Upon the exercise of the First Authorisation, the Board of Directors shall assess the most efficient technical modality for carrying out the First Reserved Increase, taking into account the market performance and always operating in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

In line with market practice, the possibility to allow one of the Company's creditors to subscribe the First Reserved Increase by converting existing loans is one of the possible technical modalities for carrying out the increase that may be chosen by the Board of Directors.

It is stated that, as at the date of this Report, the Board of Directors is assessing, with the involvement of the Internal Control, Risk and Related-Parties Committee, the possibility to convert into share capital some of the loans disbursed to Giglio Group by the Group's companies headed by Meridiana Holding S.r.l., the Company's majority shareholder (whose share capital, it is to be noted, is held for the 99% by Alessandro Giglio, Chairman of the Company, and for the 1% by his wife Yue Zhao), against a manifested provisional availability of the latter. For more information regarding the aforementioned loans, see the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at 30 June 2020.

It is noted that, in the currently ongoing dialogue with some potential subscribers of the First Reserved Increase (Meridiana Holding S.r.l. being one of them), the Internal Control, Risk and Related-Parties Committee is being kept up to date and in line with the state of the negotiations. Should a negotiation involving the majority shareholder, Meridiana Holding S.r.l. be implemented, the Internal Control, Risk and Related-Parties Committee shall participate in said negotiation, carrying out its activities and duties, in compliance with the provisions of the Procedure governing transactions with Related Parties adopted by the Company, as well as with the Regulation adopted with Consob resolution no. 17221 on 12 March 2010.

The information regarding the economic/balance-sheet/financial effects most appropriate to represent the consequences of the capital increase on the economic and financial position of the Company, as well as the effect of an eventual dilution of the unit value of the shares, shall be

reported with regard to each and every capital increase, upon execution of the First Authorisation, with a special explanatory report to be made available to the public.

4. Placement and/or underwriting syndicate

As at the date of this Report, no placement and/or underwriting syndicate are foreseen, nor any other form of placement.

5. Shares' issue price

The issue price of the shares arising from the First Reserved Increase shall be determined by the Board of Directors upon the exercise of the First Authorisation, being understood that said issue price shall correspond to the market value of said shares, and that the determination of the issue price shall also take into account the general context and the price at which the institutional investors would eventually be interested in purchasing said shares.

The correspondence between the issue price of the shares issued through the First Reserved Increase and the market value of said shares shall be confirmed by a specific report from a statutory auditor or an auditing company.

Upon the exercise of the First Authorisation, the Board of Directors shall determine the portion of issue price to be ascribed at share capital and the one to be ascribed at share premium, without prejudice to the fact that the nominal value of the increase cannot be greater than 20% of the existing share capital.

6. Period set for the execution of the First Authorisation and of the First Reserved Increase

It is proposed to establish that the duration of the First Authorisation shall be until 30 June 2021, in accordance with Art. 44, par. 3 of Decree Law no. 76/2020, converted by Law no. 120/2020, and that it may be exercised by the Board of Directors, whenever deemed suitable - coherently with the Company's interests -, by issuing a market disclosure on the terms and modalities of each capital increase tranche, as soon as these are determined by the Board of Directors.

The First Reserved Increase consists in a share capita increase in separate issues, pursuant to Art. 2439, par. 2 of the Italian Civil Code and, therefore, it may be partially or fully executed and subscribed in more tranches, it being understood that the directors are expressly authorised to issue new shares as they are subscribed, thus giving immediate efficacy to partial subscriptions.

7. Dividend entitlement of shares issued through the First Reserved Increase

The shares issued through the First Reserved Increase shall have the same dividend entitlement than the ordinary shares of the Company outstanding on the issue date of the new shares.

8. By-laws amendments

The granting of the Authorisation regarding the First Reserved Increase, as described above, shall require for the amendment of Art. 6 of the By-laws, through the insertion of a new paragraph, par. 6.9. For more information on the statutory amendments, see item 3 of the agenda for the Extraordinary Meeting.

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

Item no. 2 on the Extraordinary Meeting's Agenda

Authorisation for the Board of Directors, pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, for a period of five years starting from the date of the meeting's resolution, to increase the share capital upon payment in separate issues, without option rights pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, first sentence of the Italian Civil Code, for an amount of € 366,133.70 in principal, to be settled through contributions in kind, with the issue, also in more tranches of a maximum of 1,830,668.50 ordinary shares without any nominal value, with the same characteristics of the ordinary shares already issued by the issue date, with regular dividend, in accordance with the criteria used to determine the issue price set forth by Art. 2441, par. 6 of the Italian Civil Code. Resolutions pertaining thereto and resulting therefrom.

Dear Shareholders,

The Board of Directors has hereby called you, with this Extraordinary Meeting, in order to submit for your approval, other than the First Authorisation as per item no. 1 of the agenda of the Extraordinary part of the Meeting, the additional draft resolution regarding the authorisation for the Board of Directors, again pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code and Art. 6.7 of the By-laws, for a period of five years starting from the date of the meeting's resolution, hence until 12 November 2025 (the "Second Authorisation"), to increase the share capital upon payment in separate issues, without option rights pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, first sentence, for an amount of € 366,133.70 in principal, to be settled through contributions in kind, through the issue, also in more tranches of a maximum of 1,830,668.50 ordinary shares without any nominal value, with the same characteristics of the ordinary shares already issued by the issue date, with regular dividend, in accordance with the criteria used to determine the issue price set forth by Art. 2441, par. 6 of the Italian Civil Code (the "Second Reserved Increase").

1. Justifications for the Second Authorisation and the Second Reserved Increase and destination thereof

Art. 2441, par. 4, first sentence of the Italian Civil Code regulates the possibility - reserved to companies with shares listed in regulated markets - to include in their by-laws the exclusion of option rights for share capital increases in kind, on the condition that the issue price of the new shares is determined on the basis of the equity value, taking into account, for those shares listed in regulated markets, also the performance of the listings over the last six-months period.

With a view to realise the development objectives set forth in the Industrial Plan, the Second Authorisation to be granted to the Board of Directors pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code and to Art. 6.7 of the By-laws for the increase of share capital against payment, without option rights, pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, first sentence of the Italian Civil Code, through contribution in kind, would allow the Board of Directors to act swiftly in order to better seize any eventual opportunity that may arise.

The width of the Second Authority would allow the Board of Directors to decide and execute with rapidity transfer transactions of many kinds on the basis, on the one hand, of the opportunity that may arise and, on the other hand, of the actual needs that the Company may develop. To this

effect, the Board of Directors believes that the Second Authorisation is the most appropriate legal tool for meeting, every time, the interests of the Company and of its shareholders.

Should the Second Authorisation be granted, the Board of Directors shall determine, every time it wishes to execute said authorisation, the specific justifications and the destination of the contribution, as well as of the capital increase, pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, first sentence of the Italian Civil Code.

The Second Reserved Increase may thus be destined, according to the need of each situation, to the achievement of the Company's interests. By way of example, it may be destined to: (i) the support and development of the Industrial Plan; (ii) the improvement of the industrial structure of the Group; (iii) the improvement of the Industrial Plan and of the Company's business lines; (iv) the creation of strategic industrial partnerships; (v) the realisation of business and development strategies.

The contribution/s in kind for the payment of the Second Reserved Increase may involve: company's branches, businesses or plants that are functionally organised for carrying out the activities included in the Company's object, as well as receivables, investments in joint ventures, listed and non-listed financial instruments and/or other assets instrumental to the pursue of the Company's object or deemed as such by the Board o Directors.

It is however understood that, should the Second Authorisation be granted pursuant to the aforementioned terms, the eventual decision of the Board of Directors to carry out capital increases aimed at third parties, with the complete or partial exclusion of option rights pursuant to Art. 2441, par. 4, first sentence of the Italian Civil Code against an equity dilution, could be taken only if justified by specific corporate needs.

The justifications and criteria specified therein shall constitute the principles to which the Board of Directors shall abide by during the execution of the Second Authorisation, without prejudice to the obligation to disclose every time through a special report the justifications for the execution of said authorisation and the criteria by which the issue price shall be determined, as specified below (see par. 5).

It is noted that the Directors' Report, envisaged by Art. 2441, par. 6 of the Italian Civil Code, shall state explicitly the justifications of the contribution in kind with regard to the Company's interest.

2. 2019 final results and general information on the operating performance of 2020

The Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019, including Giglio Group S.p.A. Annual Financial Report, have been approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 23 April 2020 and is available, together with the Consolidated Financial Statements, at the Company's headquarters, on the Company's website www.giglio.org and on the authorised storage mechanism eMarket Storage.

3. Procedures Governing the Second Reserved Increase

Upon the exercise of the Second Authorisation, the Board of Directors shall assess the most efficient technical modality for carrying out the Second Reserved Increase, taking into account the market performance and always operating in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

In line with market practice, the possibility to allow for the purchase of companies and branches through their transfer is one of the possible technical modalities for carrying out the Second Reserved Increase that may be chosen by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors shall be able to choose each time the modality for the Second Authorisations' execution, considering that the capital increase may be used through the contribution in kind of various assets, without any limitation, notwithstanding any different assessment, as set forth in Art. 2343 and 2343-ter of the Italian Civil Code. By way of example, company's branches, businesses or plants organised for the performance of the activities included in the Company's object, as well as receivables, investments in joint ventures, listed and not listed financial instruments and/or other assets considered as instrumental by the Board of Directors for the achievement of the Company's object may be object of a contribution on behalf of third parties.

All further information required by par. 4 of Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation regarding each single capital increase that, upon execution of the Second Authorisation, the Board of Directors may carry out, shall be disclosed upon execution of the same authorisation with a special explanatory report to be made available to the public.

4. Placement and/or underwriting syndicate

As at the date of this Report, no placement and/or underwriting syndicate are foreseen, nor any other form of placement.

5. Shares' issue price

The issue price of the shares arising from the Second Reserved Capital Increase shall be determined by the Board of Directors upon the exercise of the Second Authorisation, being understood that said issue price shall be determined on the basis of the equity value, taking into account also the performance of the listings over the last six-months period, as per Art. 2441, par. 6 of the Italian Civil Code.

The Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors, envisaged by Art. 2441, par. 6 of the Italian Civil Code, shall mention the criteria adopted each time for determining the issue price and shall be made available to the public.

Upon the exercise of the Second Authorisation, the Board of Directors shall determine the portion of price to be ascribed at share capital and the one to ascribed at share premium.

6. Period set for the execution of the Second Authorisation and of the Second Reserved Increase

It is proposed to establish that the duration of the Second Authorisation shall last five years, starting from the date of the adoption of the resolution (and, hence, until 12 November 2025), and that it may be exercised by the Board of Directors, whenever deemed suitable - coherently with the Company's interests -, by issuing a market disclosure on the terms and modalities of each capital increase tranche, as soon as these are determined by the Board of Directors.

7. Dividend entitlement of shares issued through the Second Reserved Increase

The shares issued through the Second Reserved Increase shall have the same dividend entitlement than the ordinary shares of the Company outstanding on the issue date of the new shares.

8. By-laws amendments

The granting of the Authorisation regarding the Second Reserved Increase, as described above, shall require for the amendment of Art. 6 of the By-laws, through the insertion of a new paragraph, par. 6.10.

6.2.1 and 6.2.4; the case of joint ownership is
regulated by Art. 2347 of the Civil Code.
6.2.1
In
derogation
from
the
previous
paragraph, each share gives the right to
two votes if the share was held by the same
entity by virtue of a real right legitimising the
exercise of the voting right for a continuous
period of at least 24 months. The recurrence
of this precondition shall also be attested
by: (i) the continuous inclusion for a period
of at least 24 months in the special list
(hereinafter also referred to as the "List"); (ii)
a specific notice attesting the continuous
holding for a period of 24 months, released
by the financial intermediary, with whom

ARTICLE 6 - CAPITAL AND SHARES
CURRENT TEST AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL
the shares are deposited pursuant to the
current Law.
The acquisition of the increased voting
rights shall be obtained after three trading
days of the month following the date of the
beginning of the continuous period of 24
months, upon inclusion in the special list.
The definition of share ownership shall be
understood with reference to those shares
whose voting right was held by the same
entity on the basis of a real legitimising right,
such as: (i) the full ownership of the share
with voting rights, (ii) the bare ownership of
the share with voting rights; o (iii) usufruct of
the share with voting rights.
For
this
purpose,
the
Company
shall
establish and keep in its registered office, in
the form and content foreseen by the
applicable
law,
the
List,
where
the
shareholders
who
wish
to
benefit
from
shares with increased voting rights shall be
included. For the purpose of being included
in the Special List, the entity empowered
pursuant to this article shall submit the
appropriate
application,
attaching
a
notice attesting its shares' ownership - that
can concern also only part of the shares
owned by the shareholder - issued by the
intermediary with whom the shares are
deposited pursuant to the current Law.
Increased voting rights can be requested
also for only part of the shares owned by
the shareholder. In the event of entities
other than natural persons, the application
shall specify whether the entity is under
direct or indirect third-party control or not,
and shall provide identification data for the
eventual controlling party.
The Company shall remove a shareholder
from the Special List in the following cases:
(i) waiver by the interested party; (ii) notice
of the interested party or of the intermediary

attesting the absence of the preconditions

ARTICLE 6 - CAPITAL AND SHARES
CURRENT TEST AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL
for the increased voting right or the loss of
ownership
of
the
real
legitimising
right
and/or
of
the
relative
voting
right; (iii)
automatically, if the Company gave notice
of the occurrence of the absence of the
preconditions for the increased voting right
or
the
loss
of
ownership
of
the
real
legitimising
right
and/or
of
the
relative
voting right.
6.2.2 Pursuant to Art. 127-quinquies, par. 3,
of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February
1998, as amended (the "CFA"), the benefit
of the increased voting right shall cease: (i)
in case of transfer, free of charge or not, of
the share, it being understood that "transfer"
also means the granting of a pledge, an
usufruct or any other restriction on the share,
when this entails the loss of voting right on
behalf of the shareholder. In the hypotheses
of free or paid transfer of only a part of
shares
with
increased
voting
rights,
the
transferor
shall
maintain
the
increased
voting rights on the remaining shares, and
(ii) in case of transfer, direct or indirect, of
controlling shareholdings in companies or
entities that hold more shares with increased
voting right than the threshold laid down in
Art. 120, par. 2 of the CFA.
6.2.3 Increased voting rights:
a)
Shall be kept in the event of inheritance
due to death and in case of merger
and division of the shareholder;
b)
Shall
be
extended
to
newly-issued
shares in the event of capital increase
pursuant to Art. 2442 of the Italian Civil
Code;
c)
Shall
be
extended
also
to
shares
granted in exchange for shares with
increased voting rights in the event of
merger or division, if the related project
so provides;

ARTICLE 6 - CAPITAL AND SHARES
CURRENT TEST AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL
d)
Shall be extended proportionally to the
shares issued upon execution of capital
increase
through
new
contributions
(considering otherwise less incentivising
the participation in the gathering of
new risk capital by the shareholder who
attained, or is about to attain, shares
with increased voting rights).
6.2.4
The increased voting rights shall be
counted
after
calculating
the
voting
quorums,
for
constitution
and
passing
resolutions, that refer to the share capital's
rates but that do not have any effect on the
rights, other than the voting one, entitled to
shareholders in possess of specific share
capital's rates.
6.3 Shares can be freely transferred pursuant
to the Law and can be subject to pledge,
usufruct and seizing.
6.4 Shares are nominal, indivisible and are
placed in the book entry system subject to
the current law and issued in the centralised
management
system
of
financial
tools
referred to in Art. 83-bis et seq. of the CFA.
6.5
The quality of shareholder constitutes
acceptance of these By-laws.
6.6
The Share Capital can be increased
upon resolution of the Meeting also with the
issuance of shares with different rights from
the
ordinary
ones
and
with
different
contributions other than
money, to the
extent permitted by the Law. In the event of
a Share Capital increase, upon resolution of
the Meeting, the norms and conditions
related to the issuance of the new capital,
the dates and the payment modalities shall
be determined by the Board of Directors. In
the event of a paid Share Capital increase,
the option right may be excluded with a
Meeting resolution or, if appointed by proxy,
with a Board of Directors' resolution, within
the limits and the terms and conditions

ARTICLE 6 - CAPITAL AND SHARES
CURRENT TEST AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL
foreseen by Art. 2441, par. 4, first and
second sentence, par. 5 and par. 8 of the
