Interpump Group

1.0 Issuer Profile

The Interpump Group manufactures and markets high and very high pressure piston pumps, pumping systems used in various industrial sector to transport fluids, high pressure homogenizers, mixers, agitators, piston pumps, valves and other machines, principally for the food processing industry, but also for the chemicals and cosmetics industries, and automated solutions for milking and the dairy industry (Water Jetting Sector), power take-offs, gear pumps, hydraulic cylinders, directional controls, valves, hydraulic hoses and fittings, gears, orbital motors and steering systems, and other hydraulic components (Hydraulic Sector).

Interpump Group S.p.A., listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since 1996, by virtue of its transparency and corporate governance requirements, was admitted to the Euronext STAR Milan segment of Borsa Italiana at its launch on 1 April 2001, and the security has been included in the FTSE-MIB index since 22 June 2020.

Since the capitalisation of the Company has exceeded EUR 1 billion on the last trading day of each of the past three calendar years, Interpump Group S.p.A. is deemed to be a "Large Company", as defined in the Corporate Governance Code. Furthermore, since, as expressed in section 2, letter g) of this Report, as of the date of this Report, no shareholder agreements within the meaning of art. 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance were known to the Company, the Company does not fall within the definition of a "concentrated ownership company" within the meaning of the Corporate Governance Code.

The corporate governance of a business comprises a set of rules and procedures that form the system of management and control of limited companies. Interpump Group S.p.A. has adopted a traditional form of administration and control. Accordingly, the business is managed by a Board of Directors and supervisory functions are carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors, while the statutory audit of the Financial Statements is performed by an Independent Auditors appointed at the Shareholders' Meeting.

The corporate governance system of Interpump Group S.p.A., outlined by the Board of Directors, is based on a set of legal provisions and rules of good governance inspired by the Principles and Recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code, in its most recent version issued by the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana in January 2020. It pursues an ethical business model with sustainable success through the long-term creation of value for its shareholders and significant stakeholders.

As stated in both the Code of Ethics and the Global Compliance Program, the Interpump Group pays special attention to the various aspects of sustainability and corporate social responsibility, since they play an important part in the ability to conduct business.

Sustainability is recognised as an essential development factor in the growth strategy of the Interpump Group, whose core mission is to create value in economic, financial and corporate social responsibility terms. In order to implement this approach, on 5 October 2022 the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. approved the ESG Strategic Plan for the 2023- 2025 three-year period ("ESG Plan"), which sets out the ambitions and commitments identified and made by the Interpump Group to assure a sustainable economic growth over the long period. Furthermore, on 10 November 2023, the decarbonisation strategy was approved, formalising the commitment to reduce the Group overall emissions through certain actions inspired by environmental and economic sustainability. The process undertaken by the Group will combine business success with the principles of sustainability and value creation for all stakeholders.

In particular, the ESG Plan targets, which were achieved during the financial year, include the following:

  • the supplier assessment model according to environmental, social and governance criteria was extended to all Italian manufacturing companies of the Interpump Group;
  • the Board of Directors, during its meeting of 14 November 2024, approved the Group Global Mobility policy, with the aim of contributing to personnel development and talent retention, enhancing the latter through employment in other Group com-

panies, as well as the Eco-design Guidelines for Group products, in order to promote the reduction of the environmental impact of activities, through the adoption of innovative and sustainable solutions, creating a virtuous system of resource use, encouraging the reuse, recycling and regeneration of materials;

  • the Board of Directors, during its meeting of 14 November 2024, approved the Tax Control Framework Model, which constitutes a system for the detection, measurement, management and control of tax risk and which is based on the declaration of tax strategy and risk mapping.
  • the average accident incidence rate for the 2022- 2024 period remained below the average for the three-year period prior to the approval of the 2023-2025 ESG Plan.

Annually, the Company also prepares Country-by-Country Reporting and reports on progress in implementing the ESG Plan.

With regard to the ways in which the target concerning the pursuit of sustainable success is integrated into the Company strategies, remuneration policies and internal control and risk management system, as well as the corporate governance measures specifically adopted in this regard and, in particular, the establishment of the Sustainability Committee, with the specific task of supporting the Company Board of Directors in analysing issues significant to the generation of long-term value, please refer to sections 4.1, 8 and 9 of this Report.

The Interpump Group has also adopted the OECD Guidelines for multinational enterprises and the United Nations Guiding principles for businesses and human rights, committing to recognize and promote human rights, with respect for the dignity, privacy and rights of individuals. The Interpump Group is also committed to disseminating and consolidating a culture of occupational safety and respect for the environment, without deviating in any way from compliance with local regulations, while also promoting responsible behaviours by all collaborators. Especially by taking preventive actions, the Group works to protect the health and safety of the workers, the environment and the interests of all stakeholders. To this end, the Interpump Group conducts its activities in compliance with the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on occupational health and safety, freedom of association and collective bargaining, the abolition of forced labour and child labour, as well as on combating discrimination.

Interpump Group S.p.A. is subject to the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 125 of 6 September 2024 and, therefore, is obliged to prepare the sustainability report, included in the report on operations, in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) set out in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2023/2772 of 31 July 2023. Applying the principle of dual materiality, the sustainability report describes how the Company activities affect the environment and society, including greenhouse gas emissions, use of natural resources, human rights and working conditions, as well as governance practices such as transparency and risk management. It also describes how sustainability is integrated into the corporate strategy and provides data on ESG performance, setting clear and measurable targets to improve this performance over time. As part of the aforementioned report, the Regulation (EU) no. 852/2020 (the Taxonomy Regulation), applicable from 2022, was also implemented. It provides a classification system for sustainable economic activities, helping to direct investments towards projects that contribute to the European Union environmental targets. The sustainability report is available on the website of Interpump Group S.p.A. (www.interpumpgroup.it), section Financial Statements and Reports.

The Issuer does not fall within the definition of an SME pursuant to art. 1, paragraph 1, letter w-quater.1) of the Consolidated Law on Finance and art. 2-ter of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation.

This Report describes the system of corporate governance adopted by Interpump Group S.p.A. and the ownership structure, as required by the regulations in force.

i) Proxies to increase the share capital and authorisations to purchase treasury shares (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter m) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

The Extraordinary Meeting of 30 April 2020 resolved to grant the Board of Directors a proxy, pursuant to art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, to increase share capital for cash on one or more occasions by 29 April 2025, on a divisible basis pursuant to art. 2439 of the Italian Civil Code and with the exclusion of option rights pursuant to art. 2441, paragraph 4 of the Italian Civil Code, by the issue of ordinary shares up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital of Interpump existing on the date of exercising the proxy, with the right of the Board of Directors to establish the amount of any additional paid-in capital. For this purpose, the Board of Directors was also granted all powers to fix, for each tranche, the number, unit issue price (including any premium) and enjoyment rights of the new ordinary shares, establish the deadline for subscription for the new ordinary shares in the Company, and execute and exercise the aforementioned proxy and powers, within the limits and in accordance with the provisions of art. 5 of the Articles of Association, to which reference is made.

After revoking the resolution concerning the authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares adopt-

ed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, the Ordinary Meeting of 26 April 2024 authorised, pursuant to art. 2357 ff. of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Directors, through the Directors delegated for this purpose, or through the use of an authorised intermediary, to purchase, in several tranches, treasury shares for a maximum number that, taking into account the ordinary shares held from time to time in the portfolio by the Company and its subsidiaries, does not exceed a total of 10% of the Company share capital. Purchase is permitted for the period of eighteen months from the date of the authorisation resolution. Purchases may be made at a unit price per share ranging from a minimum equal to the nominal value of EUR 0.52 to a maximum of EUR 85.00, in compliance with the methods and in respect of the limits set down in the legislation and regulations in force at the time.

The same resolution adopted at the aforementioned Meeting also authorised the Board of Directors, via specifically authorised Directors or an authorised intermediary, to sell or transfer, in one or more tranches, for a period of eighteen months starting from 26 April 2024, the treasury shares held, whether already purchased or to be purchased, at a price not lower than their nominal unit value of EUR 0.52.

The Meeting authorised the disposal also by means of a public offering. The Board of Directors may also establish all additional conditions, methods and terms of the disposal of the treasury shares held.

On 27 September 2024, Interpump Group S.p.A initiated, as part of the share buyback plan authorised by the Shareholders' Meeting on 26 April 2024 pursuant to art. 144-bis of CONSOB Regulation no. 11971/1999, a share buyback programme for a total of 250,000 shares to be carried out between 25 September and 23 December 2024 on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, at a maximum price of EUR 44.00 per share and thus for a maximum outlay of EUR 11,000,000. The programme ended on 18 October 2024 with the purchase of a total of 250,000 shares at an average price of EUR 41,3496 for a countervalue of EUR 10,377,406 million.

j) Management and coordination activities (pursuant to art. 2497 ff. of the Italian Civil Code)

Interpump Group S.p.A. is not subject to management and coordination by companies or other entities pursuant to art. 2497-bis of the Italian Civil Code. In particular, following a careful assessment in this regard, the Board of Directors deemed the requirement set forth in art. 2497-sexies of the Italian Civil Code to be fulfilled, as the company Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A., although it prepares the Consolidated Financial Statements including those of Interpump Group S.p.A., performs the functions of a holding company and, therefore, it cannot constitute a management unit between Interpump Group S.p.A. and the Parent Company Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A.. Furthermore, Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A. does not have control over the Issuer pursuant to art. 2359 of the Italian Civil Code. The company "Leila Montipò e Sorelle S.A.p.A.", incorporated on 6 November 2020, holds a controlling shareholding pursuant to art. 2359, paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code in "Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A.". This company does not carry out management and coordination activities of the investee company "Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A." nor is it itself subject to such management and coordination activities.

The professional skills and the authority of the Non-Executive and Independent Directors represent a guarantee that all the decisions taken by the Board of Directors are made in the exclusive interest of Interpump Group S.p.A. and its stakeholders, in the absence of directives and interference by third parties with interests extraneous to the Company.

4.0 Board of Directors

4.1. Role of the Board of Directors

Consistent with the principles and recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has been assigned a central role in the corporate governance of Interpump Group S.p.A., with broad powers and responsibilities regarding governance and the system of internal control and risk management, as well as for the definition of sustainability policies in pursuit of sustainable success, via the creation of long-term value for shareholders and significant stakeholders.

The Board of Directors exercises the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, without any limitations except for the powers reserved by law for the Shareholders' Meeting.

In compliance with the recommendations contained in the Code and in the context of the activities carried out, the exclusive responsibilities of the Board of Directors include:

  • examination and approval of the business plans of the Issuer and the its parent Group, also concerning the analysis of significant issues for the generation of long-term value (Recommendation 1, letter a);
  • periodic monitoring of the implementation of the business plan, as well as assessment of the general results of operations, periodically comparing the results achieved with those planned (Recommendation 1, letter b);
  • definition of the nature and level of risk compatible with the strategic targets of the Issuer, including assessment of all the elements that may be important to the sustainable success of the Issuer (Recommendation 1, letter c);
  • definition of the system of corporate governance of the Issuer and the structure of its parent Group (Recommendation 1, letter d, first part);
  • assessment of the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Issuer and its subsidiaries of strategic significance, with particular reference to the system of internal

  • adoption of resolutions on the transactions of the Issuer and its subsidiaries that are of strategic, economic or financial importance for the Issuer, establishing general criteria for the identification of significant transactions (Recommendation 1, letter e);
  • adoption, on a proposal from the Executive Chairman, of a procedure for the internal management and external communication of documents and information about the Issuer, with particular reference to inside information (Recommendation 1, letter f) (Please refer to section 5 of the Report for more detailed information).

The Articles of Association of Interpump Group S.p.A. define the powers reserved for the Board of Directors with regard to the transactions of the Issuer and its subsidiaries that, depending on the purpose of the transaction, are of strategic, economic or financial importance. In addition, the provisions contained in the individual Articles of Association of subsidiaries or, in any case, the specific resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, establish limits for the transactions that must be approved by the respective Boards of Directors on which Directors of the Parent Company are present.

Lastly, with regard to delegation of the powers reserved for the Board of Directors, reference is made to the Articles of Association (art. 14) governing the matters that must be examined exclusively by the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A.

Interpump Group S.p.A. recognises the fundamental importance of discussions with existing and potential shareholders, institutional investors and the market in general, facilitating a constant dialogue that is beneficial to both investors and the Company, with a view to creating value over the medium to long term. In particular, during the meeting held on 4 October 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the "Policy for managing dialogue with the shareholders" in order to govern,

in compliance with Principle IV and Recommendation 3 of the Corporate Governance Code, the most appropriate forms of dialogue with the shareholders and significant stakeholders of the Issuer.

Please refer to section 12 of this Report for more detailed information. During the 2024 financial year, the Board of Directors did not deem it necessary to change this Policy.

Assisted by the Control and Risks Committeeand the Sustainability Committee, and acting on a proposal from the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. defines the strategies and targets of the Company and the Group, including the sustainability policies that may be important when pursuing the sustainable success of the Issuer.

During 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company did not consider it necessary to prepare reasoned proposals for the Shareholders' Meeting regarding the definition of a more functional system of corporate governance responsive to the needs of the Issuer.

In accordance with the requirements of Recommendation 1, letter d) of the Corporate Governance Code and art. 2381, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, on 14 February 2025 the Board of Directors assessed the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of Interpump Group S.p.A. and the subsidiaries of strategic significance, with particular reference to the internal control and risk management system, which is described in a document prepared by the competent departments and which was subjected to preliminary examination by the Audit and Risks Committee.

The subsidiaries of strategic significance were identified on the basis of size criteria as Hammelmann GmbH and NLB Corporation Inc. for the Water Jetting Sector, and Walvoil S.p.A., Muncie Power Products Inc., I.M.M. Hydraulics S.p.A., Interpump Hydraulics S.p.A., Reggiana Riduttori S.r.l. and White Drive Motors & Stering Sp. Zoo for the Hydraulic Sector.

4.2. Appointments and Replacements (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter l), first part, of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

Consistent with the legislation governing the "traditional" administration and control model adopted by the Company and the related regulations, art. 14 of the Articles of Association in force at the date of approving this Report, governs the composition of the Board, appointments by list voting and the replacement of Directors, in proper compliance with the gender-balance principle, as described below.

The Company is administered by a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of three and a maximum of thirteen members, who need not be shareholders, appointed at the Shareholders' Meeting after determining their number. The Board of Directors comprises both Executive and Non-Executive Directors. With regard to the composition of the Board of Directors, (i) a number of Directors, identified in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions and the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana adopted by the Company from time to time, must be in possession of the independence attributes required therein, and (ii) gender balance must be assured in compliance with the provisions of the law, the regulations, and the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana adopted by the Company from time to time.

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Directors remain in office for a maximum of three financial years, as established when appointed during the Meeting, and may be re-elected. The current Board of Directors, appointed on 28 April 2023, will remain in office until the Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2025.

Pursuant to art. 14 of the Articles of Association, the Directors are appointed on the basis of lists submit-

ted by the shareholders, except for the cases in which the Articles of Association require the use of ordinary methods and majorities and those in which appointment by list voting is not permitted or is not possible.

The Articles of Association of the Company, in force at the time of drafting this Report, do not provide for the possibility of the outgoing Board of Directors to submit a list.

Again pursuant to art. 14 of the Articles of Association, lists may be submitted exclusively by shareholders who, within the limits established by the regulations in force, are either individually or together with other shareholders globally in possession of shares with voting rights representing at least 2.50% of the subscribed and paid-up capital having voting rights in the ordinary Meeting for appointments of corporate offices, or any different higher or lower percentages established by statutory legislation and regulations in force. In this regard, the attendance threshold established pursuant to the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation in Consob with Resolution no. 123 of 28 January 2025 is 1.00%, without prejudice to any lower percentage provided for in the Articles of Association.

Each candidate for the office of Director may appear in one list, on pain of ineligibility. In addition, each shareholder who intends to propose (or contribute to proposing) candidates for the office of Director must file (or contribute to filing) the following at the registered offices, by the deadline envisaged in the regulations in force and pursuant to the Articles of Association in force at the date of approving this Report:

  • a) a list of candidates, not exceeding thirteen persons, giving each a sequential number; at least the first candidate in sequence on the list must satisfy the independence requirements established in art. 147-ter, paragraph 4 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, and the criteria for qualification as independent pursuant to the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., adopted by the Company from time to time; without prejudice to the above, lists comprising at least three candidates must contain candidates from different genders, as specified in the notice of call of the Meeting, in order to ensure compliance with the regulations in force governing gender balance;
  • b) the curriculum vitae of each candidate, containing full disclosure on their personal and professional features, with an indication, if applicable, of their satisfaction of the independence requirements established in art. 147-ter, paragraph 4 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, and the criteria for qualification as independent pursuant to the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A.,

adopted by the Company from time to time, as well as: (i) the non-executive directorships and memberships of control bodies held in companies listed on regulated stock markets (including foreign stock markets), in financial companies, banks, insurance companies, or companies of significant size, these latter being construed as companies whose most recent annual financial statements report assets or sales in excess of EUR 500,000,000.00 (five hundred million); (ii) the executive directorships of any company, including companies not covered by the categories specified in the previous point (i), with the sole exception of companies engaged in the "mere utilisation" of property, shareholdings or other assets, and companies whose most recent annual financial statements reported sales of not more than EUR 50,000,000.00 (fifty million); (iii) the offices pursuant to art. 2390, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code that require the Meeting to make an exception to the legal ban on competition, with the specification that it is not necessary to disclose offices in companies directly or indirectly controlled by the Company, which are generally assumed to have been approved by the Company in advance. For each company in which offices are held, it is necessary to specify its name, location, register of companies registration number or equivalent, and the nature of the office held (including status as Executive Director, Non-Executive Director, or Independent Director);

  • c) the declarations of each candidate expressing their willingness to take office in the event of election and attesting, under their personal responsibility, to the absence of any causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, the possession, if applicable, of the independence requirements and of the criteria for qualification as independent pursuant to the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., adopted by the Company from time to time, and the existence of any other requirements prescribed for the office, whether in law or in the Articles of Association;
  • d) details of the shareholders submitting the list, with their name, company name, location, Register of Companies registration number or equivalent, and the percentage of the capital they hold in total, with a declaration consistent with that envisaged in art. 144-sexies, paragraph 4, letter b) of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation, attesting to the absence of significant interests pursuant to art. 144-quinquies of said Regulation. Those submitting a list are obliged to indicate the minimum number of candidates complying with the independence criteria and the other requirements specified by law and to act in such a way as to

ensure that the composition of the list, if comprising at least three candidates, complies with the proportionality criterion for gender balance envisaged in the regulations in force. By the deadline contemplated in the regulations in force, it is also necessary to file the certificate issued by an authorised intermediary confirming ownership, at the time of filing the list with the Company, of the number of shares needed to make that filing.

Each shareholder cannot submit (or join in submitting) more than one list, nor can they vote for different lists, even by means of an intermediary or trust company. Shareholders from the same group and shareholders subscribing to a shareholders' agreement based on Company shares, cannot submit or vote for more than one list, even by means of an intermediary or trust company.

Lists for which the foregoing instructions are not observed are considered as not submitted.

Notification is provided of the lists submitted in the cases and with the methods established by the provisions in force, and with any other method considered to be fitting by the Board of Directors.

The shareholder or shareholders who have submitted (or joined in submitting) a list associated, even indirectly, with one or more shareholders who have submitted (or joined in submitting) another list, are required to provide a statement to this effect at the beginning of the Meeting called to appoint the Directors, and said statement must be recorded in the minutes of the Meeting. A significant interest is deemed to exist in the cases provided for in art. 144-quinquies of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation.

The Board of Directors is elected as follows:

  • a) all the Directors to be elected less one will be taken, on the basis of the sequential number with which the candidates are listed, from the list that receives the highest number of votes; all the Directors of the least represented gender, as required by the regulations in force concerning gender balance, will also be taken from that list, except if the remaining Director, taken from the list that received the second highest number of votes, is of the least represented gender: in that case, all the Directors of the least represented gender, as required by the regulations in force, will be taken from the list that obtained the highest number of votes, except for one;
  • b) the remaining Director will be taken from the list that obtains the second highest number of votes, being the person indicated with the first sequen-

tial number in the list, without prejudice to the provisions established in the preceding letter a) concerning gender balance;

  • c) in the case of a tied vote (i.e., if two lists both receive the highest number of votes, or the second highest number of votes) the Meeting will repeat the ballot, with list vote, to appoint the entire Board of Directors;
  • d) the candidates from the lists will be elected in compliance with the criteria indicated in the foregoing letters a), b) and c), without prejudice to the provisions set down under the following letters e), f) and g);
  • e) if just one list is duly submitted, all the Directors to be appointed will be taken from that list, on the basis of the sequential order with which the candidates appear in the list, again in compliance with the regulations in force on the independence of Directors and gender balance;
  • f) if the list that received the second highest number of votes fails to obtain a percentage of the votes equivalent at least to half of those necessary for submission of the lists envisaged in art. 14, paragraph 3 of the Articles of Association, all the Directors to be appointed will be taken from the list that receives the highest number of votes cast by the shareholders, on the basis of the sequential number with which the candidates appear in the list;
  • g) if the list that received the second highest number of votes has received votes cast by one or more shareholders considered to be associated, pursuant to art. 14, paragraph 9 the Articles of Association, with one or more of the shareholders that submitted (or joined in submitting) the list that received the highest number of votes, such votes will not be considered. Consequently, if without considering such votes, another list emerges as the second most voted list, the remaining Director will be the candidate with the first sequential number appearing in that other list;
  • h) if no list is submitted, including in application of the provisions of art. 14, paragraph 7 of the Articles of Association, or if, for any reason, the appointment of one or more Directors cannot be made in accordance with art. 14, paragraph 10 of the Articles of Association, the Meeting will adopt a resolution with the majorities required by law, nonetheless ensuring the presence of the necessary number of Directors in possession of the legal requirements of independence and in compliance with the regulations in force concerning gender balance.

Pursuant to the Articles of Association in force at the date of approving this Report, the Independent Directors must notify the Board of Directors immediately about their loss of the independence requirements established by law and, with regard to the Directors indicated first on the lists, their failure to satisfy the criteria for qualification as independent pursuant to the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., adopted by the Company from time to time. The loss of said requirements or suitability will result in the expiry of their term of office.

The Issuer Articles of Association, subject to art. 14, paragraph 15, also provide that: (i) if during the financial year, for any reason, one or more Directors taken from the list that obtained the highest number of votes or elected with the ordinary procedures and majorities cease to hold office, and such cessation does not cause the majority of the Directors elected by the Meeting to cease to hold office, the Board of Directors shall replace them by co-optation, pursuant to art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code. The co-opted Director will remain in office until the next Meeting, which will confirm or replace that Director using the ordinary procedures and majorities, without recourse to list vote; and (ii) should, during the financial year, the Director taken from the list that received the second highest number of votes cease to hold office for whatsoever reason, and should said unavailability not result in loss of the majority of the Directors appointed during the Meeting, the Board of Directors will replace the unavailable Director by means of co-option of the candidate appearing with the second sequential number in such list, provided that candidate is still eligible and willing to accept the office, or otherwise, by co-option of the candidate appearing with the third sequential number in the same list, and so forth, until the last candidates appearing in the list. Should it not be possible to co-opt any Director from this last list, the candidate indicated with the first sequential number on the list that obtained the third-largest number of votes will be co-opted, on condition that such list reached the minimum quorum envisaged in art. 14, paragraph 10, letter f) of the Articles of Association, and that the candidate is still eligible and willing to accept the office; otherwise, the candidate indicated with the second sequential number on the same list will be co-opted, and so forth, until all the candidates appearing in the lists reaching the minimum quorum envisaged above in paragraph 10, letter f) have been exhausted. Should it prove impossible to co-opt a Director from the lists indicated above, the Board of Directors will co-opt a Director of its own choosing.

As an exception to the provisions of art. 14, paragraphs 13 and 14 of the Articles of Association, paragraph 15 provides that, should the unavailable Director be an Independent Director, said Director must be replaced, even by means of co-optation, with another Independent Director, and should the unavailable Director have to qualify as independent pursuant to the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., adopted by the Company from time to time, said Director must be replaced, even by co-optation, by another Director with equivalent qualifications. Likewise, if the unavailable Director is of the less represented gender and cessation results in failure to satisfy the proportionality criterion for gender balance, the Director concerned must be replaced, also by co-optation, by a Director of the same gender, in order to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation in force at all times.

Additionally, the provisions of art. 14, paragraph 16 of the Articles of Association state that, should the majority of Directors appointed during the Meeting cease to serve, instead of replacing the unavailable Director or Directors by means of co-optation, the entire Board of Directors will be deemed to have resigned and a Shareholders' Meeting must be called without delay, so that the Board can be reconstituted by means of list vote.

In terms of gender balance, art. 147-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance requires the least represented gender to comprise at least two-fifths of the elected Directors. The Corporate Governance Code specifies at least one-third of the total. Additionally, CONSOB Notification no. 1/20 of 30 January 2020 specifies that, if the Board of Directors only comprises three members, the result of the two-fifths calculation referred to above must be rounded down. In all the other cases, as in the past, the result must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Apart from the requirements of the Consolidated Law on Finance and of the Corporate Governance Code, the Issuer is not subject to any other regulations concerning the composition of the Board of Directors.

Please refer to section 7 of this Report for information about the role of the Board of Directors and the internal board committees in the processes of self-assessment, appointment and replacement of Directors.

Diversity criteria and policies for the composition of the Board and within the corporate organisation

For the purposes of the composition of the Company Board of Directors, an adequate level of diversity was ensured, not only in terms of gender, but also with regard to aspects such as age and educational and professional background.

Notably, the Corporate Governance Code reminds Issuers that at least one third of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors must be drawn from the less represented gender, inviting them to implement suitable measures that promote equal treatment and opportunity.

Art. 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter and art. 148, paragraph 1-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance provide instructions on gender balance for the administrative and control bodies of listed companies; these were amended in the 2020 Budget Law, which raised the presence of the less represented gender on those bodies to at least two fifths, with rounding up to the nearest whole number. Given the new regulatory requirements, the two-fifths criterion has been applied from the first renewal of the corporate bodies subsequent to the entry into force of the 2020 Budget Law (3 January 2020).

The Articles of Association already include rules for the composition of lists and supplementary voting mechanisms that ensure gender balance on the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, confirming the requirements of the applicable regulations.

With regard to the aspects of diversity (e.g. age, training and professional experience), the following information is provided with regard to the current Board of Directors: (i) the Board comprises 2 Executive Directors, 1 Non-Executive Director and 7 Non-Executive and Independent Directors; (ii) the average age of Board members is 62; (iii) the diversity of the training and professional profiles of the Directors (please refer to Section 4.3) ensures that the Board has the appropriate skills needed to manage the Company.

During the meeting held on 14 February 2025, the Board of Directors of the Issuer determined that the size, composition and operation of the Board and its Committees during the reporting period were adequate. In compliance with the legislation in force, at least two-fifths of the members of the administrative and control body of Interpump Group S.p.A. are drawn from the less represented gender, without prejudice to the priority target of assuring adequate levels of skill and professionalism among the members of the Board.

The Board of Directors, during its meeting of 22 January 2024, approved the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy in order to more effectively set out there in the principles, targets and commitments regarding the protection of diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as the protection of workers' rights, that are indispensable elements in the performance of the activities of Interpump Group S.p.A. and its subsidiaries.

The aforementioned Policy, the principles of which are further regulated within the Code of Ethics and the Human Rights Guidelines (Global Compliance Program), must be adopted by all Interpump Group companies, albeit in consideration of the cultural, social, economic and regulatory diversity of the various Countries in which the Interpump Group operates. It is consequently binding for all employees, Directors and, where applicable, consultants, suppliers, customers and other third parties dealing with Interpump Group companies. The Policy is available on the Company website under "Governance" - "Corporate documents" (https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/documenti-societari).

Cumulative limits on appointments held in other companies

With regard to the maximum number of appointments a Director may hold (Recommendation 15, Corporate Governance Code), the Board of Directors has established that:

  • the availability of the time needed to carry out the appointment is a fundamental requirement that Directors must satisfy, having regard for their membership of any Board Committees on which they are requested to serve. The Directors in office must therefore constantly assess the adequacy of the time that they are able to dedicate to their appointment, having regard for the time already dedicated to other working and professional activities, as well as their roles in other companies;
  • with regard to the obligation for Directors to inform the Company about the Non-Executive directorships or memberships of boards of Statutory Auditors already held in certain types of company and the executive directorships held in any company, the Nomination Committee notes the opinion already expressed by the Board of Directors on the accumulation of appointments (pursuant to Recommendation 15 of the Code), which states as follows: the Board recommends that the Meeting should not appoint persons as Executive Directors of the Company when they already hold executive appointments in one or more other companies (including companies not classified as "significant

companies" 2), with the sole exceptions of (i) those that "merely hold" real estate, shareholdings or other assets with annual sales of not more than EUR 50 million and (ii) companies controlled directly or indirectly by the Group); or when they are Non-Executive Directors in four or more other "significant companies";

  • the Meeting shall not appoint Directors of the Company to non-executive, independent or non-independent office when they are already Executive Directors in two or more "significant companies", or Non-Executive Directors or holders of control appointments in ten or more other "significant companies";
  • the Board will only assign executive offices to the Directors appointed during the Meeting, and will only approve the assignment of executive appointments in Interpump Group companies, when not incompatible with the aforementioned limits, unless the Board, with a reasoned resolution, rules that there exist reasonable, objective grounds for either temporarily or permanently departing from these limits.

The Board of Directors has also decided to publish the aforementioned limits in this Report and also at any Meetings held to make such appointments. These limitations are also contained in the Regulation of the Board of Directors. The current composition of the Board of Directors respects these general criteria.

4.4. Operation of the Board of Directors (pursuant to art. 123 bis, paragraph 2, letter d) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

The Board of Directors meets regularly, organising and working to ensure the effective performance of its functions, in pursuit of the primary target to create value for the shareholders in compliance with the directives and policies defined for the Group (Please refer to Principle IX, Corporate Governance Code).

As required by Recommendation 11 of the Code, the Issuer has prepared a regulation that governs the operation of the Board of Directors, which was approved at the Board meeting held on 15 May 2023.

The regulation of the Board of Directors regulates the composition of the Board, the procedures for appointing and replacing Directors, their term in office and the maximum number of appointments that the Directors can hold in other significant companies, as well as the roles and tasks of the Board, including the procedures for calling, holding and minuting Board business.

In particular, the regulation specifies that the Board of Directors will meet whenever necessary and when requested by at least two directors. Meetings must be called at least five days prior to the date fixed and, in urgent cases, at least two days beforehand. Pursuant to art. 16 of the Articles of Association, the meetings of the Board of Directors are also validly constituted when held by means of teleconferencing or videoconferencing, provided that all participants can be identified by the Chairman and by all the other participants, that they are allowed to follow the proceedings and intervene in real time in the discussion of the issues discussed, that they are allowed to exchange documents related to these issues and that all the above is recorded in the minutes.

In order to assess the issues to be discussed, a pre-meeting disclosure is provided at least three days before the meeting, except in urgent cases, when it is made available as soon as possible. These terms were generally respected throughout the financial year.

The Directors and Statutory Auditors are required to keep confidential the documents and information acquired in the performance of their respective functions, as well as to comply with the rules adopted by the Company for the dissemination of such documents and information, which are documented in specific internal procedures for the management and processing of inside and confidential information.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors sets the Agenda items and ensures that sufficient time is available to allow for a constructive debate.

Acting on a proposal from the Chairman, the Board of Directors appoints and revokes a Secretary who adequately satisfies the necessary professionalism and experience requirements.

From a hierarchical and functional standpoint, the Secretary reports to the Board and, consequently, to the Chairman.

In addition to working with the Chairman on the preparation of Board and Shareholders' Meetings, the management of the pre-meeting disclosure and the preparation of Board minutes, the Secretary also provides impartial legal assistance and advice to the administrative body on the most significant aspects to be addressed in order to ensure that the system of corporate governance functions properly.

2 Significant Companies are defined as listed or financial companies, banks, insurance companies or other companies whose total assets or sales exceed EUR 500 million.

During the meeting held on 14 February 2022, the Board of Directors appointed Giacomo Leo, General Counsel & ESG Director of Interpump Group S.p.A., as the Board Secretary pursuant to art. 15 of the Articles of Association.

Board meetings may also be attended by the executives of the Company, as well as by the Chief Executive Officers and senior managers of the Group companies, following a written request to the Chairman from two or more Directors, giving at least two working days' notice, in order to provide suitable detailed information about the items on the Agenda within their remit, on the understanding that their attendance is limited to those items.

The Board met 6 times during 2024 and the meetings lasted an average of about two hours and thirty minutes. They were attended by about 97% of the Directors and the presence of the Independent Directors averaged about 97%. The following table indicates the attendance percentage of each Director at Board meetings:

4.5. Role of the Chairman of the Board of Directors

Chairman of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2023 appointed Fulvio Montipò as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A., who is entrusted with the legal representation of the Company and the corporate signature pursuant to art. 17 of the Articles of Association. At the same meeting, the Board of Directors granted the Chairman of the Board of Directors general single-signature proxies in the following areas: (i) strategic management and development, including the establishment of an organisational, administrative and accounting structure appropriate to the nature and size of the business, including the timely detection of a business crisis and the loss of corporate continuity, the formulation of guidelines for the management of all Group companies, and the formulation of proposals to the Board of Directors regarding the Company and Group policies and strategies; (ii) rights in rem and collateral; (iii) Merger and Acquisition (M&A) transactions; (iv) banking and finance; and (v) representation of the Company. For more information on the powers attributed to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and their limits in terms of value and subject matter, please refer to the Company Chamber of Commerce registration details, which are accessible to the public.

The decision to attribute such strategic and management proxies to the Chairman is due to the fact that Mr. Montipò skills and experience suggest that he can effectively assume the role of Chairman, including Executive Chairman. Thanks to his solid reputation, authority and trustworthiness, in his role as Chairman, Group founder Fulvio Montipò represents the Company to the outside world and offers a guarantee for shareholders and other stakeholders, exercising powers of initiative, coordination and balanced guidance of the activities of the Board of Directors, impartially maintaining the status quo among the members of the board and ensuring they can rely on a comprehensive and prompt disclosure; in his role as Executive Chairman, given his specific prerogatives and managerial talent, he exercises propositional powers in relation to the Board of Directors, especially in relation to strategic planning and operating policies, which he implements through his office.

In compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors appointed Director Marcello Margotto as Lead Independent Director. The appointment of the Lead Independent Director was deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors pursuant to Recommendation 13 of the Corporate Governance Code despite the separation of the offices of Chairman and CEO in view of the strategic and management powers entrusted to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Lead Independent Director acts as a point of reference and coordination for the requests and contributions of the Non-Executive Directors, and offers an additional guarantee for the Board of Directors, having also the right to call meetings despite of the Independent Directors to discuss issues of significant interest with respect to the operation of the Board of Directors or the Company operating activities.

During 2024, the Chairman of the Board of Directors:

  • (i) ensured the suitability of the pre-meeting disclosure and the supplementary information supplied during Board meetings;
  • (ii) enabled the Directors to perform their roles in an informed manner;
  • (iii) guaranteed coordination of the activities of Internal Board Committees (with investigative, proposal-making and consultative functions) with those of the Board;
  • (iv) guaranteed the possibility for executives of the Issuer and/or Group companies to attend Board meetings, including on request from individual Directors, in order to provide appropriate additional details about the items on the agenda. During 2024, the Board did not consider it necessary to request executives of the Issuer and/or Group companies to attend its meetings;
  • (v) ensured the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process followed by the Board, with the assistance from the Nomination Committee.

Board Secretary

As provided for in the Articles of Association of the Issuer, the Board of Directors appoints a Secretary who need not be a Director. Additionally, in accordance with Recommendation 18 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Regulation of the Board of Directors, approved at the Board on 15 May 2023, defines the functions and responsibilities of the Board Secretary and clarifies that the appointed person must adequately meet the related professionalism requirements (please refer to section 4.4 of this Report for further information about the Regulation of the Board of Directors).

During the meeting held on 14 February 2022, acting on a proposal from the Chairman pursuant to art. 15 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors appointed Giacomo Leo, General Counsel and ESG Director of Interpump Group S.p.A., as Board Secretary, having first ensured that he satisfied the requirements for this role pursuant to the Regulation of the Board of Directors. The Secretary works with the Chairman on the preparation of Board and Shareholders' Meetings, the administration of pre-meeting disclosure and the preparation of Board minutes. The Secretary also provides impartial legal assistance and advice to the administrative body on the most significant aspects to be addressed in order to ensure that the system of corporate governance functions properly.

4.6. Executive Directors

Chief Executive Officer

During the meeting of 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors conferred specific powers on the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, which had previously been held by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as a single entity. This diversification is aimed at enhancing their respective skills and professional features, and is also driven by the need to create a clear and precise division of skills, to avoid overlapping and to allow an effective identification, within the Company, of the persons responsible for strategic and management decisions.

At the aforementioned meeting, the Board of Directors appointed Fabio Marasi as Chief Executive Officer, vesting him with powers of corporate representation and signature. Specifically, he was granted general single-signature proxies in the following areas: (i) internal control and risk management; (ii) Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG); (iii) rights in rem and collateral; (iv) contract management; (v) personnel and partnership management; (vi)financial, collection and payment; (vii) representation of the Company. For more information on the powers attributed to the Chief Executive Officer and their limits in terms of value and subject matter, please refer to the Company Chamber of Commerce registration details, which are accessible to the public.

The Chief Executive Officer, Fabio Marasi, is the principal person responsible for the management of the business.

Deputy Chairman

During the meeting held on 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Giovanni Tamburi as Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors and granted him powers of representation and signature pursuant to art. 17, paragraph 2 of the Articles of Association.

No other Directors hold management proxies.

Disclosure provided to the Board of Directors by the delegated bodies

The delegated bodies report at least quarterly, and in any case at the next meeting, to the Board of Directors on the activities performed in the exercise of the proxies conferred to them. During 2024, this activity was always carried out consistently with the Board resolutions passed.

Other Executive Directors

With the exception of the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, the other members of the current Board of Directors are identified as Non-Executive Directors pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code. Furthermore, the Non-Executive Directors do not hold the position of Chief Executive Officer or Executive Chairman in strategically significant subsidiaries and do not hold executive appointments in the Issuer or in strategically significant subsidiaries.

4.7. Independent Directors and Lead Independent Director

Independent Directors

At the date of this Report, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. includes an adequate number of Independent Directors such that, given their number and skills, their opinions carry significant weight when making Board decisions. Out of ten Directors, seven qualify as independent.

The number and skills of the Independent Directors appointed are deemed adequate in relation to the needs of the Company, the operation of the administrative body and the formation of Internal Board Committees.

Without prejudice to the obligation placed on all the Directors to perform their assigned duties with the diligence required by the nature of their appointments and their skill sets, the Board assesses the independence of its members following their appointment, at least every

year thereafter and whenever situations arise in which independence is significant, considering both the information provided by the Directors and that known to the Company, and making reference to the principles stated in art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.

Directors are not deemed to be independent if they:

  • (a) are an important shareholder of the Company;
  • (b) are, or have been in the past three financial years, an Executive Director or an employee:
    • of the Company, a subsidiary of strategic significance or a company under joint control;
    • of an important shareholder of the Company;
  • (c) have, or have had in the past three financial years, directly or indirectly (e.g. via subsidiaries in the role of Executive Director or partner of a professional or consultancy firm), significant commercial, financial or professional relations with:
    • the Company, its subsidiaries or the Executive Directors or the top management of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
    • a party that controls the Company, even together with others via a shareholders' agreement; or, if the Parent is a company or body, with the related Executive Directors or the top management of that company or body;

In particular, commercial, financial or professional relations are deemed significant if, in each financial year, their individual or cumulative value exceeds 100% of the remuneration received for that year by the Non-Executive Directors and by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for their office and for their attendance at any Internal Board Committees;

  • (d) receive, or received in the past three financial years, significant additional remuneration from the Company, a subsidiary or the Parent Company, with respect to the fixed remuneration for their office and that envisaged for their attendance at any Internal Board Committees;
  • (e) have been a Director of the Company for more than nine financial years, even if not consecutively, out of the past twelve financial years, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors;
  • (f) are an Executive Director of another company in which an Executive Director of the Company is also a Director;
  • (g) are a partner or Director of a company or entity that belongs to the network of the firm engaged to perform the legal audit of the Company;

(h) are a close family member of persons who find themselves in any of the situations indicated in the aforementioned points.

As indicated in the Guidelines from the Board of Directors on the Quali-Quantitative Composition of the Board of Directors for the 2023-2025 three-year period approved by the Company on 15 February 2023, the Board established, with regard to the significance of the commercial, financial or professional relations and additional remuneration indicated in letters c) and d) above (Recommendation 7, letters c) and d), of the Code), that these might compromise the independence of the Director if they:

  • a) exist continuously throughout the reporting mandate;
  • b) involve an annual payment at least equal to 100% of the fixed remuneration received annually by the Director as a member of the Board of Directors and for attendance at any Internal Board Committees.

When making the aforementioned assessment, the Board may consider any other useful information about the position of each Director, adopting additional criteria, even if not always consistent, that give preference to substance over form.

The outcome of the assessments of the independence of the Directors is made known to the market in a specific disclosure issued immediately after their appointment and, subsequently, in the Report on Corporate Governance and the Ownership Structure pursuant to art. 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

At the time of their appointment, the Directors, Antonia Di Bella, Marcello Margotto, Federica Menichetti, Rita Rolli, Anna Chiara Svelto, Roberta Pierantoni and Nicolò Dubini confirmed their satisfaction of the independence requirements envisaged in art. 147-ter, paragraph 4 and art. 148, paragraph 3 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, and the independence requirements specified in the Corporate Governance Code in force at the time and, at the same time, agreed to notify the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors promptly about any changes in relation to the independence and other requirements, as well as about any reasons for which they are no longer eligible to serve. At the time of their appointment, the Independent Directors also undertook to maintain their independence throughout their mandate.

During the meeting held on 28 April 2023, following its appointment at the Ordinary Meeting held that day, the Board of Directors verified such satisfaction by the aforementioned Directors with reference to the state-

ments made by them pursuant to art. 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and applying, inter alia, all the criteria envisaged in the Code of Conduct in force at the time.

For Independent Director Marcello Margotto, it should be noted that, taking into account that the renewal of his appointment will entail his office lasting more than nine years, starting from 2024 (a requirement set forth in Recommendation 7, paragraph e) of the Corporate Governance Code), the Board of Directors, after an assessment of the specific position, during the meeting of 14 February 2024, qualified him as independent by virtue of the consolidated principle of substance over form. This is also on the basis of the professionalism and constant commitment demonstrated, the active attendance at Board meetings, always showing full independence of judgement and free appreciation of the management, and the deep knowledge and ability to understand and assess the Company problems and any critical issues.

Each year, the Board renews the request for information to the aforementioned Directors concerned, and examines any additional details provided by them or that came to its attention. Each to the extent of his or her remit, the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors verify the contents of those statements and the proper application of the aforementioned requirements and procedures.

Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code and the Consolidated Law on Finance, during the meeting held on 14 February 2025, the Board of Directors assessed satisfaction of the independence requirements by the independent directors, making use not merely of the information provided by the Directors concerned, but also of all other information available to the Company. During the same meeting, it also considered as adequate the Board attendance by the independent directors, both "quantitatively" (number of Independent Directors with respect to the size of the Board and the requirements of its internal committees) and "qualitatively" (in terms of professional authoritativeness and skills). The aforementioned assessment of independence considered the circumstances that may adversely affect the independence of the directors, as specified in the Regulation of the Board of Directors and consistent with Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code.

In compliance with the provisions of art. 149, paragraph 1, letter c-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Recommendation 6 of the Corporate Governance Code, during the meeting held on 14 February 2025, the Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed to the Board of Directors that the verification criteria and procedures adopted to verify the independence of the independent directors had been applied correctly.

The Independent Directors met on 26 September 2024, without the other Directors. In particular, during that meeting, the Independent Directors agreed on the importance for the Company to continue and intensify relations with investors and proxy consultants, as well as to reiterate the cooperation with external consultants with expertise in the field of remuneration. The meeting also examined the possibility of including an item on the Agenda of each meeting of the Board of Directors, with the illustration by the Chairmen of the Internal Board Committees of the items discussed at any meetings held in the previous period.

Lead Independent Director

During the meeting held on 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Marcello Margotto as the Lead Independent Director. The appointment of the Lead Independent Director was deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors pursuant to Recommendation 13 of the Corporate Governance Code despite the separation of the offices of Chairman and CEO in view of the strategic and management powers entrusted to the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The Lead Independent Director is a point of reference and coordination for the requests and contributions of the Non-Executive Directors and, in particular, for those who are independent. During the financial year, the Lead Independent Director coordinated the meetings solely of the Independent Directors and collaborated with the Chairman of the Board of Directors in order to ensure that the Directors received complete and timely information flows.

5.0 Management of Corporate Information

The Code of Corporate Governance requires the Board of Directors to adopt a procedure for the internal management and external disclosure of documents and information about the Issuer, with particular reference to inside information.

On 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors appointed the Chief Executive Officer, Fabio Marasi, as manager of the confidential information and the external disclosure of significant information.

In order to ensure the proper management of corporate information, the Company has implemented a procedure for internal management and external disclosure of documents and inside information.

This Procedure was prepared, inter alia, in compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 on market abuse. In particular, the purpose of the Procedure is to define organisational tools and responsibilities for the management of "Significant Information" and "Inside Information" that:

    1. identify the organisational functions responsible for the management and processing of significant and inside information;
    1. map the various types of significant information;
    1. define the criteria for identifying when information is significant and when significant information is also inside information.

The procedure is available on the website of the Issuer https://www.interpumpgroup.it, section "Governance" - "Corporate documents".

The Company periodically assesses the process of managing inside information and the implementation and effectiveness of the procedures adopted, in order to determine if any updates are necessary.

6.0 Internal Board Committees (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2. letter d) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

The Board of Directors has established the following Internal Board Committees:

  • Nomination Committee (please refer to section 7.2);
  • Remuneration Committee (please refer to section 8.2);
  • Sustainability Committee (please refer to section 6.1);
  • Control and Risks Committee (please refer to Section 9.2);
  • Related Party Transactions Committee (please refer to section 10).

No committees have been formed to carry out the functions of two or more committees and, indeed, the various functions have been "distributed" among the various committees according to the Code recommendations.

The composition of the committees is determined by the Board of Directors, taking into account the skills and experience of each member, specifying the number of members and their executive status and/or independence (please refer to Table 3 annexed to this Report for more information about the Internal Board Committees), and avoiding an excessive concentration of offices among Directors, in particular Independent ones.

As far as organisational and management provisions are concerned, each Internal Board Committee has adopted its own regulations, which have been approved by the Board of Directors. The operating rules of each committee regulate, inter alia:

  • the criteria for appointing and replacing the Directors who are Committee members;
  • the procedures for attending and minuting meetings and managing the disclosure;
  • the deadlines for calling meetings and sending pre-meeting disclosure, so that the timing and completeness of information flows are unaffected.

Aside from those listed above, no other Internal Board Committees have been established.

6.1 Sustainability Committee

With the approval of the ESG Plan by the Board of Directors, the Company undertook to set up a Sustainability Committee, separate from the Control and Risks Committee and with the task of an ensuring adequate control of ESG issues also through greater accountability of corporate bodies (please refer, among the targets of the aforesaid Plan, to target G.1).

Composition and operation of the Sustainability Committee (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

During its meeting of 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. appointed Fabio Marasi, Rita Rolli (Chairman) and Anna Chiara Svelto as members of the Sustainability Committee. The Committee is composed of an Executive Director with powers in the field of sustainability and two Independent Directors. The Committee, as a whole, has adequate expertise in the sector in which the Company operates and has adequate skills in relation to the tasks and functions assigned, as assessed by the Board of Directors at the time of appointment.

Please refer to Table 3 annexed to this Report for more detailed information about the composition of the Sustainability Committee.

During 2024, four meetings were held, duly minuted and lasting an average of about one and a half hours. All the members of the Committee took part in the meetings and, in addition, at the invitation of the Chairman, the Independent Auditors, the Chief Financial Officer, the Manager Responsible for the preparation of Financial Reporting, the General Counsel & ESG Director and the Head of the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance department participated in the Commit-

tee work. Four meetings are planned for 2025, one of which was held on 18 March 2025.

During the first meeting, held on 16 January 2024, the Committee, in joint session with the Audit and Risks Committee, discussed the review of the double materiality analysis carried out during 2023 and the meeting with the representatives of the Independent Auditors in order to receive information regarding the planning of the audit activities on the 2023 Non-Financial Disclosure (NFD).

During the second meeting, held on 14 March 2024, the Sustainability Committee, in joint session with the Audit and Risks Committee, met with representatives of the Independent Auditors in order to receive updates on the limited assurance activities carried out on the 2023 NFD and reviewed the draft of the 2023 NFD prepared in accordance with the reporting standards issued by the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI), as well as the preliminary results on the double materiality analysis for the 2024 sustainability report, prepared in accordance with the ESRS reporting standards.

During the third meeting, held on 12 July 2024, the Sustainability Committee received updates on the progress of the activities underlying the implementation of the ESG Plan and the main activities carried out by the Interpump Group in order to comply with the requirements of the European Directive no. 2022/2464 on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSRD).

During the fourth meeting, held on 29 October 2024, in joint session with the Audit and Risks Committee, the Sustainability Committee received updates on the development of activities aimed at defining the Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and the double materiality analysis carried out for the purposes of the sustainability report. It further examined the Global Mobility Procedure and the Eco-design Procedure, drafted with the aim of achieving the targets of the ESG Plan, as well as the "Internal Control Model on Non-Financial Disclosure", which defines the methods for detecting, measuring, treating and controlling the risk related to the process of reporting non-financial information.

Functions assigned to the Sustainability Committee

The Board of Directors' resolution of 15 May 2023 approved the current text of the Sustainability Committee Regulation, which assigns to the Committee the investigative, proposal-making and consultative functions vis-à-vis the Board of Directors with regard to assessing and making decisions in the field of sustainability, meaning the targets, processes, initiatives and activities aimed at controlling the Company commitment to the pursuit of sustainable success, including in ESG matters.

In order to perform the aforementioned functions, the Committee is assigned the following tasks:

  • to monitor the execution of the ESG Plan approved by the Board of Directors with reference to all Interpump Group companies, reporting periodically to the Board;
  • to draw up targets, strategies and plans, including multi-year plans in the area of sustainability, to be submitted to the Board of Directors and monitor their implementation;
  • to oversee sustainability issues related to the operation of the Company and, in general, the Interpump Group and the dynamics of interaction with stakeholders, in order to promote sustainable success;
  • to control the evolution of sustainability issues and the reference regulatory framework, also in the light of international guidelines and principles on the subject, identifying any adjustment actions that may be appropriate and/or necessary;
  • to monitor international sustainability initiatives and the Company attendance, in order to consolidate the corporate reputation on the international front;
  • to examine, in agreement with the Manager Responsible for the preparation of Financial Reporting, the content of the periodic non-financial information referred to in Legislative Decree no. 254/2016 and the sustainability report - possibly summarised in a single document - to be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval;
  • to perform such further tasks as may be assigned from time to time by the Board of Directors.

In the performance of its functions, the Committee has the right to access all information needed to perform its tasks, as well as to make use of independent consultants or other external professionals, should this be appropriate for the performance of its functions in Italy and abroad, within the limits established by the Board of Directors.

The Board has assigned an annual budget of EUR 30,000 to the Committee for the performance of its activities.

7.0 Self-assessment and succession of Directors - Nomination Committee

7.1 Self-assessment and succession of Directors

In conformity with the principles and recommendations of the Code, each year the Board of Directors assesses the effectiveness of its activities and the contribution made by each member, including on internal board committees, adopting formalised procedures and supervising their implementation. That self-assessment considers, inter alia, the size, composition and operation in practice of the administrative body, including with regard to the definition of the principal strategies for the governance and conduct of entrepreneurial activities.

Most recently, during the meeting held on 14 February 2025, the Board of Directors carried out the annual self-assessment of its operation and that of its Committees, in particular considering the frequency of meetings, actual attendance by members and its size and composition, having regard for such elements as the professional and managerial features of members, their experience and their gender. This assessment took account of the role of the Board in defining the strategic, industrial, financial and sustainability plans of the Company and the Group, as well as in monitoring their trend and the adequacy of their organisational, administrative and accounting structures.

The assessment was carried out, without support from external consultants, using a questionnaire provided by the Nomination Committee and made available to the Directors by the competent corporate Departments.

The results obtained from completion of the questionnaires were summarised, in an anonymous form, in a document that was distributed to the directors prior to the board meeting.

Following analysis and assessment of these results, the Board of Directors concluded positively on the size, composition and operation of the Board and its Committees.

Succession plans

During the meeting held on 28 April 2017, the Board of Directors established an informal Operational Coordination Committee, comprising the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, members of the Operational Coordination Committee and the Chief Financial Officer. On 13 February 2019 the Board of Directors acknowledged that the Committee functions effectively, making it possible to keep the Company top executives informed and aligned, and representing a breeding ground for potential future Executive Directors, who may be selected whenever necessary. This organisational structure provides a tangible solution to guarantee continuity and security.

In order to strengthen the governance strategy, and to ensure an efficient management oriented towards the Group corporate continuity, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. approved the Succession Plan during its meeting on 10 November 2023, in accordance with the ESG Plan targets. The Succession Plan adopted by the Company has the purpose of defining internal procedures aimed at preventing and counteracting possible operational interruptions that could be caused by the prolonged temporary impediment, or by the termination, of certain key figures holding important administration and management roles, including the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the other Executive Directors of the Company and the top management, in order to guarantee the continuity and stability of the Company management and the direction of the entire Interpump Group.

With reference to the process of appointment and succession of the Board of Directors, it should also be noted that, on the occasion of the renewal of the Board of Directors by the Meeting of 28 April 2023, the outgoing Board of Directors, after receiving the favourable opinion of the Nomination Committee and taking into account the results of the self-assessment activity carried out by the Board itself, drew up its own guidance on the future size and composition of the Board of Directors and on the criteria for the formation of the list of candidate Directors to be elected. This guidance was published on the website of the Issuer on 1 March

2023 and made available to the shareholders prior to the Meeting held on 28 April 2023 to resolve, among other things, on renewal of the corporate bodies. The aforementioned guidance makes reference to Code Recommendation 23, which requires shareholders - submitting a list that contains candidates for more than half of the open positions - to provide a disclosure about the consistency of that list with the guidance provided by the Board of Directors.

7.2 Nomination Committee

Composition and operation of the Nomination Committee (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

During the meeting held on 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Directors Marcello Margotto, in the role of Chairman, Federica Menichetti and Giovanni Tamburi as members of the Nomination Committee. Two members of the Committee, including the Chairman, are Independent Directors. All Committee members are Non-Executive Directors.

The Committee will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2025.

There have been no changes in the composition of the committee since the reporting date.

Meetings are coordinated by the Chairman and duly minuted. The Chairman shall give an account of proceedings to the next meeting of the Board of Directors.

The operation of the Nomination Committee is governed by the regulation approved by the Board of Directors during the meeting held on 19 March 2021.

Please refer to Table 3 annexed to this Report for more detailed information about the Nomination Committee.

Functions of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee helps the Board of Directors to carry out the self-assessments of the Board and its internal board Committees, supporting the work of the Chairman of the Board to ensure the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process.

In addition, the Nomination Committee helps the Board of Directors to determine the optimal composition of the Board and its internal Committees, as well as to identify candidate Directors to be co-opted and, if necessary, to prepare and submit a Board list of candidates in a transparent manner. The Nomination Committee also assists the Board of Directors in preparing, updating and implementing the Succession Plan described in section 7.1 above.

The task of the Nomination Committee is to ensure the transparency of the process followed to appoint Directors, as well as the balanced composition of the Board of Directors. Specifically, the Nomination Committee seeks to ensure the suitability and qualification of candidates as independent, as defined in the Corporate Governance Code, and the maintenance of that qualification throughout their term in office, so that the Directors maintain an adequate level of independence from the management. Therefore, the Nomination Committee fulfils a consultative and proposal-making role in identifying the optimal composition of the Board, indicating the professional figures whose presence may foster its proper and effective operation and the Key Management Personnel, and contributes to the preparation, updating and implementation of the Succession Plan.

During 2024, three meetings were held, with an average duration of forty-five minutes, attended by all its members and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as the General Counsel & ESG Director at the invitation of the Chairman of the Committee.

During the first of the four meetings, held on 12 February 2024, the Committee:

  • resolved on the fulfilment of the independence requirement of the Non-Executive Directors, deeming their attendance at the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. to be adequate both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view;
  • assessed the adoption of an IT solution for the collection and processing of responses and comments to the self-assessment questionnaire, which guarantees complete anonymity of the entire process;
  • deemed appropriate the activity carried out by the Independent Directors during 2023 to promote induction activities during the Company Board meetings;
  • confirmed the independence of the current Lead Independent Director and ensured that there are no critical issues with respect to his role as resolved by the Board of Directors;
  • took note of the recommendations communicated by the Corporate Governance Committee in its annual report for 2023.

During its second meeting, held on 13 March 2024, the Committee resolved to propose that the Board of Directors identify and qualify Key Management Personnel, meaning those who have the power and responsibility, directly or indirectly, for planning the direction and control of the Company activities and for taking decisions that may affect its development and future prospects.

During the third meeting, held on 24 July 2024, the Committee took note of the preparation of the Interpump Group "succession tables of key figures", which were drawn up on the basis of the individual files and CVs.

At least four meetings are planned for 2025, three of which have already been held, on 13 January 2025, 7 February 2025 and 14 March 2025 respectively.

In the performance of its functions, the Nomination Committee is able to access the corporate information and functions needed to carry out its tasks, as well as make recourse to external consultants consistent with Recommendation 17 of the Corporate Governance Code.

The financial resources available to the Nomination Committee for the performance of its tasks have not been quantified in advance, as these may vary depending on the needs expressed by the Committee on a case-by-case basis.

Interpump Group

8.0 Remuneration of the Directors - Remuneration Committee

8.1 Directors' Remuneration

Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy, approved by Interpump Shareholders' Meeting and valid for the 2023-2025 three-year period, has been defined in line with the corporate long-term strategy, targets and results, in order to pursue the Group long-term interests and sustainability. It is described in the First Section of the Remuneration Policy Report of Interpump Group S.p.A., prepared pursuant to art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, available on the Company website (https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/politiche-di-remunerazione). Reference is made to that Policy for information about the procedures followed for its adoption, how the Policy contributes to the pursuit of sustainable success and the retention and motivation of talented people, whether it takes account of remuneration best practices, and for information about other matters.

Remuneration of Executive Directors and top management

The Report on the Remuneration Policy and remuneration paid of Interpump Group S.p.A. defines the components comprising the remuneration of the Executive Directors, which include the Directors with specific offices, those with management proxies and those with executive appointments in Group companies and/or Executive Directorships at Group companies, as well as any Key Management Personnel identified. This policy balances a fixed component with a shortterm variable component and a long-term incentive, consistent with the strategic targets of the Company, which are pursued in the interests of all shareholders.

The policy sets a maximum limit on the payment of variable components, expressed as a percentage of the fixed component, and correlates such payments with the achievement of performance targets - personal and corporate - that are specifically identified using financial and non-financial indicators, in pursuit of the strategic targets of the Company and, ultimately, its sustainable success.

In order to identify non-financial and sustainability targets, the Company, with the contribution of the Chief Executive Officer, the members of the Operational Coordination Committee and the Risk and Sustainability Control Committee, defined an ESG Plan approved by the Board of Directors on 5 October 2022 to which the 2022-2024 Interpump Incentive Plan is linked. The latter Plan refers, inter alia, to environmental issues, occupational health and safety issues, corporate governance and anti-corruption issues, with specific targets to be achieved.

The variable component of remuneration may also entail, based on an explicit Board decision acting on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, the right to establish specific deadlines for the vesting of rights, deferred payment mechanisms and ex-post correction mechanisms (claw-back and malus clauses).

Lastly, the Remuneration Policy defines clear and predetermined rules for the payment of an allowance for loss of office; this allowance limits the maximum payment, which may be calculated with reference to the period in office or the duration of the working relationship, highlighting the link with corporate performance.

Information about the remuneration paid in 2024 is provided in the Report on remuneration policy and remuneration paid pursuant to art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, which is available on the Company website.

Stock-based remuneration plans

The variable component of remuneration is focused on the medium to long term: (i) focusing the attention of beneficiaries on factors of strategic interest; (ii) building loyalty; (iii) aligning remuneration with the creation of value for shareholders in the medium to long term; (iv) guaranteeing a level of remuneration that is globally competitive; and (v) developing the strategy of the Company and the Group with a view to sustainability. The "2019-2021 Interpump Group S.p.A. Incentive Plan" and the "2022-2024 Interpump Group S.p.A. Incentive Plan" are described in the documents pursuant to art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and 84-bis, paragraph 1 of CONSOB Regulation no. 11971/1999 published on the Company website at www.interpumpgroup.it section "Governance" - "Shareholders' Meeting", as well as in the Report on the Company Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid available at https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/ governance/politiche-di-remunerazione.

The Directors' remuneration for 2024 is shown in the tables of Section II of the Remuneration Policy Report of Interpump Group S.p.A., which will be submitted for a non-binding vote during the Meeting to approve the 2024 Financial Statements.

Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is not linked to the economic results of the Company and the Group. Rather, it is determined by the Board of Directors, having regard for the commitment required to perform the assigned tasks, as well as the skills and professionalism of each Director.

Vesting and payout of remuneration

The Board of Directors monitors the application of the Remuneration Policy in cooperation with the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for its implementation and revision, upon the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Policy is defined in accordance with the governance model adopted by the Company and the Recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code. In addition to initial approval of the Remuneration Policy and its submission to the Meeting for approval by the Shareholders, the Board of Directors is also responsible for:

  • (i) allocating the overall remuneration established for the Directors during the Meeting, pursuant to the provisions of art. 2389, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code, if not already decided during the Meeting;
  • (ii) determining the remuneration of the Directors assigned with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code, further to a proposal from the Remuneration Committee;
  • (iii) analysing the incentive plans to be submitted for meeting approval;
  • (iv) establishing a Remuneration Committee from among its members, determining the related duties and approving the regulation that governs its operation;
  • (v) assessing the consistency of the criteria adopted for the remuneration of Key Management Personnel, if identified, with the Remuneration Policy, having heard the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee.

Allowance of Directors in the case of resignation, dismissal without just cause or termination of office, including after a takeover bid (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter i) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

The information required by art.123-bis, paragraph 1, letter i) of the Consolidated Law on Finance ("agreements between the Company and the Directors [...] envisaging allowances in case of resignation, dismissal without just cause or termination of the office further to a takeover bid") is contained in the Report on Remuneration Policy and remuneration paid pursuant to art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, which is available on the Company website (https://www. interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/politiche-di-remunerazione).

In accordance with Principles XVIII and XIX of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. has defined guidelines for the of Internal Control and Risk Management System (hereinafter "ICRMS" or "System"), consistent with the features of the business and the strategic targets of the Group, and with a view to pursuing the sustainability of the Issuer activities over the medium to long term.

This translates into the control of corporate risks via:

  • risk management;
  • "high level" rules;
  • governance structures;
  • policies and procedures;
  • appropriate disclosure about non-EU subsidiaries.

The ICRMS adopted by Interpump Group S.p.A. comprises a collection of rules, procedures and organisational structures designed to allow the principal risks to be identified, measured and monitored.

Risk management

Interpump Group S.p.A. has defined an Enterprise Risk Management Model (hereinafter "ERM Model") driven by international best practices in risk management (including the CoSO Framework, CoSO ERM WBCSD and ISO 31000) and in line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code. The ERM Model is characterised by a systematic approach aimed at identifying, measuring, managing and monitoring the main risks that could affect the achievement of the Interpump Group strategic targets. The risk assessment inherent in the ERM Model starts by defining the nature and level of risk, compatible with the strategic guidelines defined by the Board of Directors. Risks are periodically assessed on the basis of: (i) the degree of likelihood, i.e. the possibility of an event occurring, assessed on the basis of historical analyses, future projections or through subjective assessments by industry experts, and (ii) the impacts, i.e. the consequences of the occurrence of an event, within the financial, operational, reputational, compliance and sustainability spheres. Periodic reporting ensures, at the various corporate levels and to the governing bodies, the availability and representation of information on risk management and monitoring activities.

Tax Control Framework and Tax Strategy

In line with the provisions of the ESG Plan 2023-2025, the Board of Directors during the meeting held on 14 November 2024 approved the Tax Compliance Model in the purpose of achieving the 'Governance' objective (G.4) and relating to the consolidation of the Group's tax compliance in line with tax best practices. The Tax Control Model constitutes a system for the detection, measurement, management and control of tax risk, included in the context of the corporate governance and internal control system. In particular, it is based on the declaration of the Company's tax strategy, the mapping of tax risks and the construction of related controls, as well as risk governance procedures according to segregation of duties criteria, aimed at their identification, qualitative and quantitative measurement, management and mitigation. In this context, the Company has evaluated that the adoption of the Model may have a significant impact from an ESG point of view, as it guarantees a solid, structured and tax-aware governance, as a result of a constant monitoring of business processes and consequent tax risks.

In particular, the Tax Control Model is based on the principles defined in the Fiscal Strategy of Interpump Group S.p.A., which outlines the objectives of top management in relation to the tax variable and the set of values pursued by the Company and the Group in carrying out its business activities, as well as the behaviours adopted in order to position Interpump on the chosen risk level. In addition, the Company has adopted the following instruments:

  • the Tax Compliance Framework, which defines the operating methods for managing the process of detecting, measuring, treating and controlling tax risk;
  • the Risk Control Matrix, which represents the operational document in which information on risks, controls and action plans defined during Tax Risk Management activities are tracked and documented.

Appropriate disclosure about non-EU subsidiaries

In order to comply with art. 15 of the CONSOB Market Regulation, Interpump Group S.p.A. has adopted an internal procedure that requires non-EU subsidiaries to self-certify, each quarter, the completeness of their accounting disclosure and the controls implemented, as well as their commitment to provide the necessary information to the parent company auditor. The Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Department performs tests to monitor the design and effectiveness of the controls implemented, which may vary depending on the size and complexity of the company concerned.

Principal features of the system of management and internal controls over the financial disclosure process

The target of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting system ("ICFR") is to ensure the credibility, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of the disclosures about the financial and non-financial data and disclosure of Interpump Group S.p.A., contained in the periodic accounting documents required by current regulations, as well as in all other external communications regarding such data. The ICFR system responds to the need to satisfy the requirements placed on the Manager Responsible for the preparation of Financial Reporting pursuant to art. 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and is an integral part of the ICRMS adopted by Interpump Group S.p.A. The system is applied with reference to the principles contained in the COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which is a benchmark model recognised and accepted at international level.

The ICFR system of Interpump Group S.p.A. comprises a set of administrative-accounting procedures that define the methodologies, protocols, roles, responsibilities and activities to be put in place in order to guarantee the maintenance, over time, of an effective and efficient ICFR system, adopted by Interpump Group S.p.A. and its subsidiaries, taking into account their importance and contribution made to forming the consolidated financial statements.

The Manager Responsible for the preparation of Financial Reporting ensures the maintenance and adequacy of the system of internal control over financial disclosure, and is assisted by the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Department, which monitors the effectiveness through the following actions:

  • identification of the scope of analysis (Compliance Plan prepared in conformity with Law no. 262/2005) in terms of the Group companies involved, including the related corporate processes that make a quali-quantitative contribution to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Interpump Group S.p.A.;
  • mapping and update of risks and controls significant for financial disclosure purposes;
  • periodic verification of the adequacy of the design and operational effectiveness of the controls, via independent monitoring and periodic tests;

• identification of corrective actions ("remediation plan") for key controls, implementation of additional controls or modification of corporate processes, in order to ensure the proper operation of the internal control system.

The results of the assessment, carried out on the basis of tests, and the operation of the System are reported, semi-annually and annually, by the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Department to the Manager Responsible for the preparation of Financial Reporting, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors, after informing the Audit and Risks Committee.

Adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System

In the performance of its functions, the Board of Directors avails itself of the Audit and Risks Committee, which has the task of supporting the Board of Directors' assessments and decisions relating to the ICRMS with an adequate preliminary activity. In particular, on 7 August 2024 and 14 February 2025 the Chairman of the Control and Risks Committeereported to the Board of Directors on the activities carried out during the reporting period, confirming the positive judgement on the adequacy of the Company ICRMS, as well as its suitability to pursue risk prevention and ensure the effective application of the rules of conduct and corporate procedures.

10.0 Directors' Interests and Related Parties Transactions

With regard to the Directors' interests and related parties transactions, and in order to comply with art. 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and the CONSOB Related Party Transactions Regulation, on 10 November 2010 the Board of Directors approved the Related Party Transactions Procedure (the "Procedure") following the favourable opinion expressed on 28 September 2010 by the relevant Committee specifically established by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The Procedure has been applied since 1 January 2011. As also provided for in the Code of Ethics, the purpose of the aforementioned Procedure is to ensure the transparency and substantive and procedural correctness of the related party transactions carried out by the Company, whether directly or via subsidiaries.

On 18 March 2014, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the Procedure, having obtained a favourable opinion from the Committee at a special meeting. Among others, these amendments changed the thresholds for identifying immaterial transactions. On 4 August 2017, the Board of Directors approved further amendments to the Procedure, having obtained a favourable opinion from the Committee at a special meeting. These amendments essentially involved the adoption of regulatory changes and revisions to the governance structures.

During the meeting held on 28 June 2021 and acting on a proposal from the Related Party Transactions Committee, the Board of Directors approved changes to the text of the Procedure in order to adopt, in turn, the innovations contained the Regulations adopted by CONSOB Decision no. 21624 of 10 December 2020, that:

  • prevent related parties from giving priority to the pursuit of their own interests, limiting the risk of expropriation to the detriment of the company and all stakeholders;
  • ensure greater protection for the minority shareholders;
  • minimise the risk of abuses deriving from transactions with (or influenced by) parties that may have conflicts of interest.

This revision of the Procedure took account of changes in the size of the Group and in its governance structures.

During its meeting of 4 August 2023, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Related Party Transactions Committee, resolved on the revision of the text of the Procedure in consideration of certain regulatory changes and the changed organisational structure of the Company, as well as the advisability of entrusting the General Counsel & ESG Director with the responsibilities related to the mapping and management of the Group Related Party information.

The Procedure governs the Related Party Transactions carried out by the Company and the Group in compliance with the regulations in force. In particular, the Procedure:

  • applies to the Related Parties identified as such in the relevant international accounting standard (IAS 24), to which reference is made;
  • establishes the annual amounts of EUR 200,000 and EUR 1,000,000, for natural and legal persons respectively, as the threshold for negligible transactions excluded from application of the revised procedure, since transactions worth less than that threshold are not deemed to represent a risk for the Company;
  • excludes from its application the resolutions (other than those adopted pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code) on the remuneration of Directors holding special offices and Key Management Personnel;
  • makes recourse to the option to exempt routine and intercompany transactions;
  • specifies rules for assessing the transactions of lesser and greater significance carried out directly by Interpump Group S.p.A. or via subsidiaries;
  • determines the organisational controls and information flows considered necessary in order to ensure that the competent bodies are given complete, useful and timely information, so that they can assess the transactions concerned.

The Procedure is available on the website of Interpump Group S.p.A. at: https://www.interpumpgroup. it/it/governance/documenti-societari.

At the date of this Report, the Related Party Transactions Committee comprises Federica Menichetti (Chairman), Nicolò Dubini and Antonia di Bella, who are independent directors. There have been no changes in the composition of the Committee since the reporting date.

The work of the Related Party Transactions Committee is coordinated by the Committee Chairman. Meetings are minuted properly and the Chairman reports on them at the next Board meeting.

During the financial year, the Committee met on 8 November 2024 to examine the related party transactions carried out by Group companies during 2024 and which were all routine and of lesser significance. This meeting lasted about an hour. A meeting is planned for 2025.

Please refer to Table 3 annexed to this Report for more detailed information about the Internal Board Committees.

Lastly, the Board of Directors did not consider it necessary to adopt specific operational solutions or ad hoc procedures, other than those already envisaged in the Related Party Transactions Procedure currently in force, in order to reduce or avoid conflicts of interest involving individual Directors. Indeed, the Company believes that the existing controls are adequate, given the requirements contained in:

  • art. 2391 of the Italian Civil Code, which states that each Director "must inform the other Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors about all interests, whether personal or on behalf of others, held in a given Company transaction, clarifying its nature, origin, terms and extent";
  • the CONSOB Related Parties Regulation, which requires the Directors involved in the transaction to abstain from voting on related party transactions of lesser significance (if decided by the Board of Directors) and those of greater significance (which are always a responsibility of the Board in full attendance);
  • the Procedure that references the requirements of the aforementioned Related Parties Regulation.

of shares needed to make that filing. Those submitting a list intended to obtain the highest number of votes are obliged to include a sufficient number of candidates and also the minimum number of candidates in possession of any special requirements of professionalism or of other matters that are not required by the provisions in force for all auditors, and to act in such a way as to ensure that the composition of the list complies with the proportionality criterion for gender balance prescribed by the regulations in force.

Persons are not eligible to be statutory or alternate auditors of the Company and, if elected, their appointments lapse, if they: (i) already hold offices as members of management or control bodies of other companies or entities exceeding the limits specified by the provisions in force concerning the number of offices that can be held at the same time, or those for which there are causes of ineligibility or incompatibility; (ii) do not comply with the requirements of integrity, professionalism and independence required by the provisions in force and by the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. adopted by the Company from time to time, or any other of the requirements specified for the office by regulations or the Articles of Association.

With regard to the election system, it is envisaged that a) two statutory auditors and one alternate auditor shall be taken from the list that has obtained the highest number of votes, based on the sequential number with which the candidates are listed in the respective sections of the list; from this list, all the auditors belonging to the less represented gender required by the regulations in force on gender balance shall also be taken, except in the case where the remaining auditor, taken from the list that has obtained the second highest number of votes, belongs to the less represented gender: in such case, all the auditors belonging to the less represented gender required by the regulations in force, minus one, shall be taken from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes; b) the remaining statutory auditor and the remaining alternate auditor shall be taken from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes, and shall be those indicated with the first sequential number in the respective sections of the list, without prejudice to the provisions of letter a) above on gender balance. The candidate indicated with the first sequential number in the statutory auditors section will be the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors; c) in the case of an equal number of votes (i.e. if two lists both receive the highest number of votes or the second highest number of votes), if this situation occurs for lists that have both obtained the second highest number of votes, the candidate of the list that has obtained the vote of the highest number of shareholders will be appointed, while in all other cases the Meeting will repeat the ballot, with a list vote, for the appointment of the entire Board of Statutory Auditors; d) the auditors taken from the lists will be elected in accordance with the criteria indicated under the foregoing letters a), b) and c), without prejudice to the provisions of the following letters e) and f); e) if a single list is duly submitted, all the auditors to be appointed will be taken from said list, at all times in compliance with the regulations in force concerning gender balance.

The candidate indicated with the first sequential number in the statutory auditors section will be elected Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors; f) if the list that received the second highest number of votes has received the votes cast by one or more shareholders considered to be associated, pursuant to the statutory provisions referred to above, with one or more of the shareholders that submitted (or joined in submitting) the list that received the highest number of votes, those votes shall not be considered. Consequently, if, without considering such votes, another list emerges as the second most voted, the remaining statutory auditor and the remaining alternate auditor will be the candidates with the first sequential number appearing in the respective sections of that other list; g) if no list is submitted or if, for any reason, the appointment of one or more auditors cannot be carried out, the Meeting will adopt a resolution with the majorities required by law, in any case ensuring compliance with the rules in force on gender balance.

The current art. 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance requires, with regard to the composition of the control body, that "the least represented gender shall comprise not less than two-fifths of the statutory members of the Board of Statutory Auditors". The Corporate Governance Code specifies at least one-third of the total. Additionally, CONSOB Notification no. 1/20 of 30 January 2020 specifies that, if the control body only comprises three statutory members, the result of the two-fifths calculation referred to above must be rounded down. In all other cases, the results must be rounded up to the next unit.

Apart from the requirements of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Corporate Governance Code, the Issuer is not subject to any other regulations concerning the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Diversity criteria and policies

Please refer to section 4.3 above for information about the diversity criteria and policies adopted.

Independence

The Articles of Association require, on the submission of lists, that each candidate Auditor must file declarations of candidacy and acceptance of appointment in which, under their personal responsibility they confirm, among other things, their satisfaction of the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements specified in the Articles of Association and provisions in force, and of any other requirements demanded of the office. Accordingly, the Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed satisfaction of the independence requirements, via those declarations, during the meeting held on 28 April 2023.

On 14 February 2025, with reference respectively to 2024, the Board of Statutory Auditors submitted to the Board of Directors its self-assessment of subjective profiles - requirements regarding professionalism, skill, experience, independence and accumulation of appointments - and its operation - time commitment to carry out the appointments, adequacy of remuneration, functioning and quality of the information flows with the administrative bodies, committees and control departments, collaboration and interaction among members, exchange of information with the Independent Auditors.

The self-assessment process followed by the Board of Statutory Auditors was completed without identifying any shortcomings in the suitability of its members and by confirming the adequacy of its composition and operation.

For more information on the quantitative and qualitative criteria identified by the Board of Directors to assess the materiality of the significant circumstances, for the purposes of the assessment of independence pursuant to Recommendation 7, as recalled by Recommendation 9 of the Corporate Governance Code, please refer to section 4.7 of this Report.

Remuneration

The remuneration of the Auditors is determined during the Meeting that appoints them pursuant to art. 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, taking into account the commitment required, the significance of the position held and the size and business sector features of the Issuer. In particular, as provided for in the Report on Remuneration Policy and remuneration paid, the remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors, comprising solely a fixed component, is considered adequate with reference to the work performed during the financial year, having regard for the time dedicated to the role by each auditor, including their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and Internal Board Committees.

Management of interests

At present, the Company has not considered it necessary to formalise the requirement for an Auditor who, directly or on behalf of others, has an interest in a given transaction carried out by the Company, to inform the other Auditors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, promptly and fully, about the nature, terms, origin and extent of that interest. In this regard, on the one hand, the Company considers effective and adequate the obligations and controls applicable to the Auditors pursuant to current laws, regulations and the CG Code; on the other, the Auditors have always acted transparently, collaborating in full with the Board on the basis of open discussion and complete disclosure. In particular, in accordance with Recommendation 37 of the Corporate Governance Code, Auditors who, directly or on behalf of others, have an interest in a given transaction must inform the other auditors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, promptly and fully, about the nature, terms, origin and extent of that interest.

11.3 Role

The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for supervising the fulfilment of the requirements of the laws and regulations in force, monitoring compliance with the law and the Articles of Association, as well as compliance with the principles of proper administration. In particular, the Board of Statutory Auditors verifies the adequacy and functioning of the organisational, administrative and accounting structures adopted by the Company, as well as the proper implementation of the corporate governance rules established by the relevant regulations.

As part of these responsibilities, the Board of Statutory Auditors monitors compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 125/2024, and is therefore required to perform a supervisory role on the adequacy of all the procedures, processes and structures involved in the preparation of the sustainability report, as well as a verification of compliance with the relevant regulations.

In addition, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its capacity as the Internal Control and Audit Committee pursuant to Article 19 of Legislative Decree No. 39/2010, is required to monitor the adequacy of all procedures, processes and structures involved in the preparation of the Sustainability Report and to verify compliance with the relevant regulations. Legislative Decree No. 39/2010, it is required to perform the tasks envisaged therein.

As illustrated in section 9, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the course of carrying out its duties, has coordinated and regularly coordinates with the Control and Risk Committee, the Sustainability Committee, the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Function, the Chief Executive Officer, as well as with the Manager Responsible for the preparation of Financial Reporting and the Independent Auditors.

Please refer to the report prepared by the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to Article 153 of the Consolidated Law on Finance for information on the activities carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors during the year.

12.0 Relations with Shareholders

Interpump Group S.p.A. considers it fundamental to ensure a constant and transparent dialogue with shareholders, investors and, more generally, all the operators in the financial community in order to increase the level of understanding of the activities carried out by the Group and thus to benefit from a constructive dialogue that can favour sustainable success and the creation of value in the medium to long term. In this context, the Group as a whole endeavours to ensure a correct, exhaustive and timely disclosure to the market in compliance with the regulations and procedures governing the management and dissemination of inside information and in light of the indications issued by CONSOB about it, the principles expressed by the Corporate Governance Code to which the Company adheres and international best practices.

Already after its listing in 1996, the Group set up an in-house Investor Relations Department to handle relations with operators in the financial community and manage information flows, implementing dialogue activities in a one- and two-way manner through the many tools at its disposal and with a mixed approach, i.e. both by launching initiatives directly or through specialised financial community operators and by welcoming initiatives from shareholders and investors.

On 4 October 2021, in accordance with Principle IV and Recommendation 3 of the CG Code, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. approved the Policy for managing dialogue with the shareholders, which is available in the section "Governance" - "Corporate documents" of the corporate website (https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/documenti-societari).

Due to the importance attributed to dialogue with shareholders and investors, it was thought best that relations would be managed directly by the top management - for the Board of Directors, in the person of the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer - supported by the General Counsel & ESG Director and the Head of the Investor Relations Department. In addition, regular information flows from the Head of the Investor Relations Department to the Board of Directors were also established, the frequency of which was further increased as of 2023.

As of the date of preparation of this Report, the Head of the Investor Relations Department is Elisabetta Cugnasca, who manages the flow of information addressed to shareholders, investors and other interlocutors referable to the financial market, ensuring full compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of all parties in accordance with the rules established for corporate disclosure. Contact with Elisabetta Cugnasca can be initiated via the generic e-mail address [email protected] or directly at [email protected], telephone +39 0522 904433. Finally, it should be mentioned that the Head of the Investor Relations Department is supported, as far as media relations are concerned, by a specialised external company.

Group-initiated dialogue

As mentioned above, Group-initiated dialogue is carried out, through multiple tools, including one-way or two-way interaction.

In relation to the one-way mode, the most important communication tool is undoubtedly the Group website (www.interpumpgroup.it) which, in addition to representing the natural place for the collection and timely publication of corporate information and documentation (in particular through the "Governance", "Investor" and "Media" sections)3, also aims to act as a tool for knowledge of the Group through the dissemination of information of major interest for understanding the Group equity story, strategy, history and performance evolution.

In order to improve this tool, during the previous financial year the Group website underwent a major overhaul, on the one hand enhancing some of its technical features to make it more user-friendly, and on the

3 It should also be noted that for the transmission and storage of Regulated Information, the Issuer uses, respectively, the eMarket and the eMarket STORAGE storage mechanism, currently managed by Teleborsa S.r.l. - with registered office Piazza di Priscilla 4, Rome - following authorisation and CONSOB Resolutions no. 22517 and 22518 of 23 November 2022.

other enriching the previously mentioned messages and content. Furthermore, in order to ensure full disclosure of the Group ESG strategy and activities, a special section ("Sustainability") was created to illustrate and detail the 2023-2025 ESG Plan and the Group decarbonisation strategy, and all the documentation prepared by the Group to illustrate the Plan implementation path is now available. At the end of 2024, in the European ranking "Webranking by Comprend", now in its 28th year, the Group website was listed as the Italian site with the most significant improvement compared to the past.

In 2024, the process, begun in 2022, of expanding and refining the material provided to the financial community in relation to developments in the corporate life also continued. In addition to the presentations specifically dedicated to the 2023-2025 ESG Plan actions implemented during the financial year and the presentation on Section II of the 2023 Remuneration Policy Report, a general presentation illustrating the Group approach to governance and sustainability was published.

In terms of two-way communication, the Group uses various methods, in physical or virtual form:

  • one-to-one and company-visit meetings4 with interested parties who apply to the Company directly or through financial intermediaries;
  • roadshows at all major financial centres, during which the Group is available to discuss issues concerning business trend;
  • attendance at conferences organised by intermediaries in major financial centres;
  • conference calls to illustrate periodic financial results and corporate events of a particularly significant nature5.

In 2024, activities consisted of 437 meetings with investors, up 27% from 344 meetings in 2023 (and up further from 275 meetings in 2022).

This significant and steady increase reflects, on the one hand, the full resumption of conferences organised by financial intermediaries and company visits after the long pause resulting from the pandemic and, on the other hand, the increase in "direct contacts"6. In detail, of the activities carried out with the support of financial intermediaries, the Group held 8 road shows and participated in 11 conferences, in line with the previous financial years. Pausing for a moment, in general terms, on the issues of greatest interest in the dialogue between the Group and the financial community, mention should be given not only to the in-depth analysis of the results achieved during the financial year, but to the short and medium-long term future prospects in light of the corporate strategy and the evolution of the geopolitical and economic context and ESG issues.

In particular, in relation to ESG issues understood in the broadest sense, worthy of note are the continuation both of all communication activities dedicated to the implementation of the 2023-2025 ESG Plan - from a timely update on the implementation of the Plan on a quarterly basis in conjunction with the disclosure of the financial results for the period to the preparation of ad hoc documentation as previously mentioned and finally to the holding of meetings dedicated exclusively to ESG issues - as well as those of discussion in relation to the items on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting of 26 April 2024, with particular reference to the consultative vote on Section II of the Remuneration Policy Report.

The important developments in the ESG area, together with the improvements in communication and transparency made by the Group, were recognised and rewarded in February 2024 with the assignment of the "Best Performer of the Year" prize as part of the SDA Bocconi Best Performance Award initiative7, which aims to reward the best companies that create economic, technological, human, social and environmental value by operating in a generally sustainable manner.

Investor-initiated dialogue

During 2024, no requests for dialogue other than those described above as two-way communication activities were received by the Group.

Disclosure to the Board of Directors

As anticipated, starting from the 2023 financial year, the flow of information to the Board of Directors on the activities of dialogue with investors and, more generally, on the overall activities of the Investor Relations

5 While in 2024 and 2023 the conference calls organised by the Group focused on the publication of the quarterly financial results, it is recalled that in 2022 the approval and publication of the 2023-2025 ESG Plan was accompanied by a conference call.

6 Contacts generated directly by shareholders and investors without a financial intermediary.

Department (by way of example, the details of meetings held with investors, the evolution of coverage by analysts following the security) was revised and strengthened. Provision has been made both for regular updates on a six-monthly basis (normally in the August and January Board sessions of the following financial year) and the possibility of ad hoc disclosures in the event of significant outcomes of the dialogue and special requirements. These periodic disclosures focused on the main comments received in the meetings held during the period and, given both the process of implementing the Group first ESG Plan and the progress being made on the structure and disclosure of the Remuneration Policy, these two issues were particularly important.

The disclosure to the Board of Directors was made by the Chairman, through the intervention of the Head of Investor Relations, during the meeting of 22 January 2024 with regard to the entire 2023 financial year and during the meeting of 7 August 2024 with regard to the activities of the first half of the reporting year. Following this last activity, a further disclosure session was organised in September 2024 for the benefit of Independent Directors only. Furthermore, during the meeting of 22 January 2025, the Board of Directors was briefed on the entire 2024 financial year, with a focus on the second half of the year.

13.0 Meetings (pursuant to art-123-bis, paragraph 1, letter l) and paragraph 2, letter c) of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

The provisions of the Articles of Association concerning the Meeting are as follows:

"Art. 6) 1. The duly constituted Meeting represents all the shareholders, and its resolutions, passed in accordance with the law and these Articles of Association, are binding on all the shareholders. It is either ordinary or extraordinary in accordance with the law (art. 2364 and 2365 of the Italian Civil Code) and can be convened, within the Country, also in places other than the registered office. …The Ordinary Meeting approves and - where necessary - amends the "meeting regulations" that regulate the manner in which meetings are conducted. The convening of the Meeting, containing the information required by the regulations in force, is published on the company website and with the other methods provided for under the regulations in force. 2. The company, availing itself of the option provided by law, does not designate the representative referred to in art. 135-undecies of Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998 no. 58, unless the Board of Directors, for a specific Meeting, has resolved on such designation by giving notice thereof in the notice of the relevant Meeting.

Art. 7) Each share carries the right to one vote.

Art. 8) In compliance with the regulations in force, the Meeting is open to the attendance of holders of voting rights who submit, in accordance with the methods established in the convening notice, an appropriate notification issued in compliance with the regulations in force by the intermediary within the term envisaged by said regulations.

Art. 9) Each shareholder with voting rights is entitled to participate in the Meeting, and can be represented by conferring a proxy to other persons including non-shareholders, in compliance with the provisions of art. 135-novies ff. of Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998 no. 58, and its implementing provisions. The proxy can be conferred electronically and can be notified to the company by transmission of the document to the e-mail address indicated in the convening notification. It is, in any case, the responsibility of the Chairman of the Meeting to establish the proper exe- cution of the proxies and, in general, the entitlement to participate in the Meeting.

Art. 10) The Meeting is presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or, if this person is not available, by the most senior Deputy Chairman in terms of age (if appointed) or, in the absence of this latter, by another person elected by the Meeting. The Meeting appoints a secretary, chosen also from among parties who do not hold voting rights. The secretary may choose two scrutineers, if such action is considered appropriate.

Art. 11) The ordinary and extraordinary Meeting is held in a single call, unless the Board of Directors, in relation to a specific Meeting, should resolve to specify the date for the second and, if necessary, the third call, disclosing said information in the convening notification. The meeting is duly constituted and its resolutions are valid with the quorums established by law. 2. The provisions of art.14, paragraph 2 and 19 below apply to the appointment of Directors and Auditors.

Art. 12) The ordinary Meeting must be convened at least once a year, within one hundred and twenty days from the end of the corporate financial year, or within one hundred and eighty days in the event that the provisions of law allow the application of said longer term".

The Articles of Association also provide that the following are the responsibility of the Board, and not of the Meeting: (i) mergers and spin-offs in all the cases in which the law permits that such decisions be taken by the administrative body and not by the Meeting; the establishment and closure of secondary offices; (ii) the indication of which Directors shall be granted powers to represent the Company; (iii) the reduction of share capital in the event of withdrawal by a shareholder; (iv) adaptation of the Articles of Association to reflect regulatory provisions; and (v) transfer of the registered office within the national territory. The Board of Directors can also approve a transaction of major significance with related parties, despite the contrary view of the Independent Directors, provided that the execution of such transactions has been authorised

during the Meeting. Authorisation is denied when, in attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting, there are unrelated shareholders or their proxies representing at least 10% of the share capital with voting rights, and the majority of these latter have voted against the transaction in question. If, in relation to a transaction of major significance with related parties, the resolution proposal to be submitted to the Meeting is approved despite the contrary view of the Independent Directors, the execution of the transaction will be prevented if the Shareholders' Meeting is attended by unrelated shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital with voting rights, and the majority of these latter vote against the transaction in question.

There are no shares carrying multiple votes and voting premium is envisaged.

For the purpose of a more efficient management of the meeting proceedings, the Meeting of 28 April 2011 approved the Meeting Regulations, published on the website of Interpump Group S.p.A., www.interpumpgroup.it, section "Governance" - "Corporate documents".

In 2024, the Board of Directors did not consider it necessary to prepare reasoned proposals for submission to the Shareholders' Meeting, for the purpose of defining a form of corporate governance more responsive to the needs of the Company and the Group, as the current Model is deemed to respond to those needs.

14.0 Additional Corporate Governance Practices (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter a), second part, of the Consolidated Law on Finance)

There are no additional corporate governance practices to report.

15.0 Changes after the Reporting Date

From the reporting date to the time of writing, no changes have been made to the corporate governance structure.

16.0 Considerations on the letter dated 14 December 2023 from the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee

The Chairman of the Company Board of Directors and, for information purposes, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, received a letter dated 17 December 2024 containing recommendations made by the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee.

The purpose of the letter is to communicate the main general indications on the application of the Corporate Governance Code that have emerged from the monitoring activity and to identify, with reference to the recommendations functional to the full realisation of the Code's purposes, application methods that could lead to their effective application.

Below are the specific recommendations addressed by the Corporate Governance Committee to the governing bodies and Interpump's position with reference to each of them.

Pre-notice information
Recommendation Interpump point of view
The Corporate Governance Committee invites companies to provide
adequate disclosure in the Corporate Governance and Share Ownership
Report on (i) the failure to set deadlines for the prior submission of
information to the Board and its Committees, (ii) the failure to provide
information on compliance with such deadlines, and (iii) the provision
of the possibility to waive the pre-Board disclosure for confidentiality
reasons.
Interpump has long since adopted the necessary controls to ensure
effective compliance with the pre-board reporting, in accordance
with the provisions of the Board of Directors' regulations and
the regulations of the intra-board committees. In particular, the
aforesaid regulations respectively define the rules of operation of
the Board and the Committees, including the procedures for the
management of information to Directors.
Remuneration Policy
Recommendation Interpump point of view
The Corporate Governance Committee invites companies to provide
adequate information with respect to the application of Recommendation
27, which requires that the performance objectives, to which the payment
of variable components is linked, be 'predetermined and measurable'
and taking into account that the provision of variable components linked
to generic sustainability objectives for which the specific evaluation
parameters are not provided and/or extraordinary one-off payments
of which the nature and objectives are not identified and adequate
deliberative procedures are not defined, may result in the disapplication
of this recommendation.
The performance objectives set out in Interpump's Remuneration
Policy, to which the payment of short-term (MBO) and medium to
long-term (LTI) variable components is linked, are identified and
measurable. The objectives are consistent with the Company's
strategic goals and are designed to promote its sustainable
success, including non-financial but measurable parameters.
Executive role of the Chairman
Recommendation Interpump point of view
The Corporate Governance Committee invites companies to provide
adequate disclosure in the Corporate Governance Report on the lack of
a sufficiently reasoned explanation of the decision to grant the Chairman
significant management powers (whether he is the CEO or not).
In this regard, please refer to section 4.5 of this Report.

For all the aforementioned areas of interest, the Board of Directors and the Internal Board Committees involved in the specific issues are actively engaged in maintaining and consolidating the suggestions and the additional Recommendations made by the CG Committee.
