Dear Shareholders,
as you know, the assignment for the statutory audit of the Company's accounts currently in place with the company BDO Italia S.p.A. was unilaterally terminated on 16 May 2023 following resignations submitted by certified email.
According to what was indicated by BDO Italia as a basis for the aforementioned resignations, "putting forth claims for compensation due to BDO Italia not agreeing to your demands certainly integrates the circumstance suitable to justify the resignation for just cause from the audit assignment" pursuant to Art. 5, par. 1 of Ministerial Decree no. 261/2012.
For further details, please refer to the press release of 17 May 2023 available on the Company's website atwww.gigliogroup.com, "Investor Relations/Press Releases" section.
As of now, and until the appointment of a new assignment to another auditing firm, BDO Italia, pursuant to Art. 13, par. 6, of Legislative Decree no. 39/2010 and to Art. 6, par. 3, of Ministerial


Decree no. 261/2012, will continue to carry out its statutory audit functions until the resolution to grant the new assignment and, in any case, no later than six months from the date of resignation.
The Company, in consideration of the foregoing, must urgently proceed with the necessary corporate fulfilments useful for the assignment of the task to another auditor as well as for the purposes of informing the Shareholders' Meeting, pursuant to Art. 6, par. 2 of the Ministerial Decree no. 261/2012.
Therefore, the Company has promptly initiated the selection procedure for a new auditing company to which to appoint, upon a Meeting's resolution, the office of statutory auditor for the following nine fiscal years starting from the approval of the Interim and Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2023, for all the companies of Giglio Group subject to audit, in conformity with the provisions set forth in Art. 16 of the Regulation (EU) 537/2014 (the "Regulation") and in Legislative Decree no. 39/2010 To this procedure, Art. 16 of the Regulation is particularly applicable, without prejudice (given that Giglio is a small- and mediumsized business) to par. 3 of the same article.
To this end, on 24 May 2023, the Company forwarded to three different auditing companies the letter of invitation for the assignment of the statutory auditing of the accounts of the companies of Giglio Group for the nine-year period starting from the approval of the Interim and Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2023 and ending on the approval of the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2031, indicating the date of 7 June 2023 as the deadline for the presentation of the offer.

Subsequently, on 8 June 2023, the Company launched a new procedure for the selection of the auditing companies to be appointed, by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting, as statutory auditor, indicating the date of 14 June 2023 as the deadline for the presentation of the offer.
The auditing companies subject to the new selection procedure were:
Following the aforementioned selection procedure, the Company received no. 1 proposal for the assignment of statutory auditor of its accounts, which was made available to the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its function of Internal Control and Auditing Committee - "ICAC" - of the Company.


Therefore, the Board of Statutory Auditors has assessed the proposal received and has drafted in a separate document that shall be published together with this Report and under the same conditions, to which reference is made - the reasoned proposal for the appointment of the statutory auditor within its competence, which ends with the recommendation to appoint the company Audirevi S.p.A..
