• Safety: continue business expansion, supported by the ramp-up of new products across all geographies
• Life Sciences: drive revenue growth through validations with pharmaceutical customers and new distribution agreements

Partial Tender Offer on Treasury Shares
Buyback offer for up to 23.3M shares - ~12.3% of share capital
VOLUNTARY PARTIAL TENDER OFFER ON TREASURY SHARES

- No delisting risk, controlling shareholder not tendering: GVS Group S.r.l. (63% of share capital) has confirmed it will not participate in the offer
- Financing: bank debt – commitment letter received from UniCredit and Mediobanca; offer funded through new debt facility
- Timeline: subject to CONSOB approval – acceptance period of 15-40 trading days to commence upon publication of the offer document; shareholder meeting authorization expected 15 May 2026
