Milan, 23 March 2021 – MailUp S.p.A. (the "Company" or "MailUp Group"), a company admitted to trading on the multilateral trading facility AIM Italia Market and operating in the cloud marketing technology field, has announced today that the Board of Directors passed a resolution to approve the draft individual and consolidated report for the full year ended on 31 December 2020, prepared in compliance to international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS). The approved data will be submitted to BDO and to the Board of Statutory Auditors for their review.

The Board of Directors also passed the resolution to submit to the General Shareholders Meeting to be held on April 22, 2021 to change the legal name of the parent company from "MailUp S.p.A." to "Growens S.p.A.". This decision was taken within a wider project aiming at updating the corporate positioning, mission and purpose in order to better identify an international Group consisting of five business units and a portfolio of solutions for marketing applications, which has outgrown the mere email technologies and expanded into a number of other sectors and markets.

"We are proud to announce for 2020 growing revenues (above 7%), and an EBITDA margin in excess of 5 million Euro, notwithstanding the very difficult situation due to the Covid-19 emergency and consequent economic crisis. This comes from a thorough work on cost optimization, aiming at preserving strategic investments, which grew in line with our plans, especially in the R&D and S&M spaces. I am glad to announce the path towards the adoption of our new legal name: Growens. This evolution reflects our corporate values: to bring growth and technological innovation to our clients and investors globally".

Matteo Monfredini, Chairman and founder of MailUp Group

"We entered 2021 relying on excellent results and a strong balance sheet, believing it will be better than 2020. In such a challenging environment we decided to propose the change of the legal name into "Growens S.p.A.", choosing a name which further reflects our continuous strive towards growth, both organic and via M&A. From the Cremonabased start-up incorporated in 2002, we, the same five founders, were able to broaden our view and create an international Group with Italian roots, global vision, attention to local communities, distinguished by passion, transparency, innovation for our clients and profitability for our investors. In order to better face this new scale-up phase, we have worked to strengthen our top line with senior figures in the past year, thus laying the foundation for a renewed growth path."

Nazzareno Gorni, CEO and founder of MailUp Group

"We are very satisfied of the stock performance in the first three quarters of 2020, as a result of excellent results, consistent IR activity and international roadshows started in 2018, peaked with new annual and historical maximum prices. We believe that the following adverse turn of prices and volumes does not represent the Group's potential. It is our priority and we work very hard to identify the best opportunities in terms of M&A, financial sources, listing venue and instruments to increase visibility and turnover of the stock on the market. As per our upcoming IR activities, we will present at the following conferences: IRTOP Smart Tech Investor Day on 2 April, Virgilio Mid&Small Virtual from 20 - 22 April, Virtual AIM Italia Conference 2021 on 27 May."

Micaela Cristina Capelli, Executive Director and Investor Relations Officer

Data in EUR

In response to the recent changes in the economic and market environment, which led to a contraction in demand for Professional Services from larger clients, the affected personnel was redistributed in the Sales and Operations area. Accordingly, related revenues were added to Email revenues.

Here follow the full-year Group results by business unit as of 31 December 2020 (unaudited):

Data in EUR/M

The Board of Directors is satisfied with the positive full-year results, especially in light of the highly competitive market landscape and complex overall economic situation.

The full-year P&L posts total revenues in excess of EUR 65.2M, showing an increase of EUR 5M+ or +7.3% versus FY2019 (+46% organic). As per the results by business line, the SMS line – dynamic, volatile and highly price-oriented by nature – including the ample contribution of Agile Telecom, posted the biggest top-line of ca. EUR 44.5M, growing 4.2%, suffering from the material slowdown in "drive-to-store" traffic related to retail clients during the various lockdown periods, with a peak during the second quarter due to the major incidence of total lockdown of economic activities globally. Margins for SMS business grew over twice as much as sales, because of the favorable mix towards transactional messages. The Email line, the steadiest and most consolidated within the Group, showed a +15.5% increase, with revenues in excess of EUR 16.5M. Excellent performances are to be recorded from the BEE editor, which posted a substantial growth to EUR 3.9M FY2020 revenues (+52% vs EUR 2.6M in FY2019 including the forex effect, above 55% in USD), and Acumbamail (ca. +30%). The Predictive Marketing line sales, regarding Datatrics B.V. and the domestic subsidiary Datatrics S.r.l., amounted to EUR 2.7M, growing +18.9%. Slower growth vs the previous fiscal year is due to the dramatic effect of the Covid-19 related crisis: in greater detail, on one hand it caused a material slowdown in the sales process and a contraction of marketing investments (trade shows), on the other a greater churn of expired subscriptions, finally a persistent disadvantage in the Travel and Hospitality industries.

Foreign revenues, representing 54.1% of total sales, amounted to ca. EUR 34.5M (+20% vs FY2019) whereas recurring revenues represent 29% (+19% vs FY2019).

Consolidated EBITDA amounted to EUR 5.1M, growing by +6% versus FY2019, for a 7.8% margin on sales. Notwithstanding the effects of various lockdown periods, Gross Profit growing over 400 bps on sales (from 27.5% to 31.9%), with a much larger increase than sales (+24.5%), shows the effect of optimizations and cost savings. Margins are deeply affected, from the top-line point of view, by the impact of the global sanitary emergency due to Covid-19 and related economic slow-down, especially i.t.o. slowdown in the acquisition process of new mid-large clients and a pause/deferral of investments, particularly in the Travel,

Retail and Hospitality industries. Cost-wise, as already disclosed, the Group chose not to suspend or defer the planned strategic projects, and consequently the incidence of certain costs such as Sales&Marketing (growing over +37%) and R&D opex (+74% on a total R&D expense growing over 44.5% during the year), where the biggest investments are currently concentrated, is material. Last, to face the current challenge, MailUp Group has launched a reorganization of Datatrics' operations, with the aim to respond in a more efficient way to the evolution of the market: such reorganization includes an enhanced infrastructure – migrated on Amazon AWS – and a restated business model towards a more scalable and self-provisioning model, relying on the relevant contribution of partners. In this framework, no headcount reductions are contemplated, whereas the Italian branch Datatrics S.r.l. will be dissolved with a procedure started on 26 November, 2020, with reallocation of personnel to MailUp S.p.A.. Full outcome of the reorganization is expected by Q3 2021. The restructuring will allow a bigger focus on unified client management, leveraging on a leaner and more qualified organization. Italian clients will be managed by the Enschede headquarters, whereas trading activity in Italy will be only dedicated to the indirect channel (digital agencies).

Earnings Before Taxes amount to EUR 1.2M, decreasing by 34% on FY2019, with EUR 3.7M depreciations (+26% versus FY2019). IFRS16-related amortizations amount to EUR 1.1M, growing +35%YoY. Other relevant impacts come from a EUR 155k partial write-off of the goodwill on Globase, following impairment, and the EUR 136k negative combined effect of forex difference mainly due to USD/EUR exchange.

Consolidated Net Earnings for FY2020, after estimated current and deferred taxes, amount to EUR 0.6M, decreasing by 50.9% for the above stated reasons.

The consolidated Net Financial Position as of 31 December 2019 is negative (for net cash) and amounts to EUR 2.5M, improving versus the previously recorded (net cash) amount of EUR 2.4M as of 31 December 2019. Figurative debt from IFRS 16's adoption amounts to ca. EUR 3.7M. Cash exceeds EUR 9.9M.

Summary of individual holding results as of 31 December 2020

As per the Holding Company, MailUp S.p.A., FY2020 results confirm the historical positive sales growth trend (+15.4%), with total sales at EUR 20.9M.

EBITDA margin grew by +32.9% at ca. EUR 3.9M. Financial income benefits from Agile Telecom's and Acumbamail's dividends.

For the above, individual Net Earnings, amounting to EUR 1,716,841, show a decrease (-21.7%) on the previous fiscal year.

MailUp's Net Financial Position is negative (for net cash) for EUR 57k, improving vs the previous year, and mainly affected by the figurative debt of EUR 3.3M for IFRS 16 first-time adoption, as well as loans taken to cover incremental R&D investments on the development of the MailUp platform.

Significant events occurred during the reporting period

During FY2020, MailUp Group's activity was marked by the following events.

On 20 February 2020, MailUp announced that, following notifications of several sales of stock on the market by certain relevant shareholders for a total amount of 120.000 MAIL shares, in view of increasing the free float and consequently the share's liquidity, estimated free float exceeds 36%.

On 23 February 2020, due to the developments in the Covid-19 virus infection in Lombardy, MailUp announced the adoption of mandatory remote working and prohibition of business travel via public transport, for the staff in force at the Milan and Cremona corporate offices; the provision was subsequently extended to Carpi and foreign offices and is still largely in force.

Other Board resolutions

Here follows a summary of other resolutions passed by the Board of Directors today:

By-Laws amendments

Proposal to the General Shareholders' Meeting to amend artt. 1 (Legal name), 11 (Transferability and trading of shares), 14 (Provisions for tender offers), 15 (Disclosure requirements regarding relevant holdings and identification of shareholders), 18 (Powers of the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting), 20 (General Shareholders' Meetings Quorums), 21 (Participation to General Shareholders' Meetings), 22 (Teleconference General Shareholders' Meetings), 23 (Chairperson and secretary.

With respect to the proposed amendment of art. 1 of the By-Laws, the Board of Directors announced, within a wider Group rebranding project over the past months, that it was deemed necessary to change the historical legal name of the holding Company, in order to better represent the Group's newer, more complex identity, no longer exclusively email-technologyrelated, as a result of its growth in sectors and markets in which the parent company was not operating at the time of its foundation, as well as the Group's future development ambitions and aspirations.

The Board of Directors hence proposed to change the legal name of "MailUp S.p.A." into "Growens S.p.A.".

As per the remaining amendment proposals, in consideration of the Company's development and evolved corporate structure, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to approve and submit to the General Shareholders' Meeting certain amendments and additions to the company By-Laws currently in force, in order to update and coordinate with both market best practices and latest applicable rules and regulations.

In detail, proposed amendments mainly concern: (i) clarifications regarding introducing issuers width widespread public ownership, waiver of the corresponding by-laws provisions and introduction of the power to launch dedicated rights issues within 10% of pre-existing share capital, (ii) introducing separate articles for sell-out- squeeze-out and revocation of trading, (iii) better qualification of ways to identify shareholders, (iv) by-law provision for the appointment of the designated

representative in general shareholders' meetings, (v) clarifications on "virtual meetings", (vi) by-law provision on directors and auditors requirements, independent directors, legal entities as directors, (vii) typo correction and other clarifications.

Supervisory Body

With the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2020, the three-year mandate of the Supervisory Body expired. The Board of Directors hence resolved to appoint Mr. Gabriele Ambrogetti of Operari Lex Law Firm for a new mandate as monocratic Supervisory Body.
