Specifically, the Articles of Association stipulate that all but one of the directors, including all the directors of the less-represented gender as required by current legislation on gender balance, shall be taken from the list that receives the highest number of votes, and that the remaining director to be elected shall be taken from the list that receives the second-highest number of votes. In the event of a tied vote, a new ballot, using list voting, shall be held to appoint the entire Board.
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 the submission of lists, all the directors to be appointed shall be taken from the list that receives the highest number of votes. If only one list is submitted, or if no lists are submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting shall pass resolutions with the majorities required by law, ensuring in any case compliance with the applicable independence and gender balance requirements.
List of the outgoing Board
The Articles of Association do not provide for the right of the outgoing Board of Directors to submit its own list of candidates; this right is permitted by law only where expressly provided for in the Articles of Association and in accordance with applicable regulations.
Replacement of Directors
Should one or more Directors cease to hold office during their term, and provided that the majority of the Directors elected by the Shareholders' Meeting is not lost, the Board shall replace them by co-option, pursuant to Article 2386 Civil Code, in accordance with the criteria set out in the Articles of Association – including the representation of minority shareholders – and the applicable requirements (independence and gender balance). Should the majority of the Directors elected by the Shareholders' Meeting cease to hold office, the Board shall be deemed to have resigned and shall convene a Shareholders' Meeting without delay to renew the Board.
Apart from the requirements of the TUF and of the Corporate Governance Code, the Issuer is not subject to any other regulations concerning the composition of the Board of Directors.

Diversity criteria and policies for the composition of the Board and within the organisation
The Company promotes an adequate level of diversity in the composition of the Board of Directors, taking into account not only gender diversity but also aspects such as age and educational and professional background, in order to ensure a range of skills and perspectives that are useful for the effective performance of the Board's duties.
With regard to gender balance, the Articles of Association govern the composition of lists and the mechanisms for replacement during a term of office, in order to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations. In particular, pursuant to Article 147-(3)(1-ter) TUF, the least represented gender must comprise at least two-fifths of the elected directors. CONSOB has provided interpretative clarifications regarding the methods of application and the rounding criteria.
With regard to the additional aspects of diversity within the current Board of Directors, it should be noted that: (i) the Board comprises 2 Executive Directors, 1 Non-Executive Director and 7 Independent Directors; (ii) the average age of Board members is 63; (iii) the training and professional profiles of the Directors (ref. to Section 4.3) ensure a set of skills consistent with the complexities and peculiarities of the Company's management model.
At the meeting held on 13 February 2026, the Board of Directors determined that, for the period covered by this report, the size, composition and operation of the Board of Directors and its Committees were adequate, in line with the objective of combining gender balance, expertise and professionalism.
At its meeting of 22 January 2024, the Board of Directors approved the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, which sets out principles, targets and commitments aimed at ensuring the protection of diversity and workers' rights. In line with the Code of Ethics and the Guidelines on Human Rights, the Policy is adopted by all Group companies, taking into account the cultural and regulatory specificities of the countries in which the Group operates, and is binding on employees, directors and, where applicable, relevant third parties.
The Policy is available on the Company website under "Governance" - "Corporate documents" (https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/documenti-societari).

taking into account any participation in Internal Board Committees, in implementation of Recommendation 15 of the Corporate Governance Code. Specifically:
- Each Director shall continuously assess the adequacy of the time they are able to dedicate to their appointment, taking into account their professional commitments and any other appointments held in other companies;
- The Board recommends that the Shareholders' Meeting should not appoint persons as Executive Directors if they already are:
(i) Executive Directors in one or more other companies (including companies not classified as 'significant companies' 2), with the exception of: (a) companies that 'merely hold' assets and/or companies with annual sales of not more than Euro 50 million, and (b) companies controlled directly or indirectly by the Group;
(ii) Non-executive directors in four or more other 'significant companies';
- Furthermore, the Board recommends that the Shareholders' Meeting not appoint Directors to non-executive positions (whether independent or non-independent) if they are at the same time:
(i) Executive directors in two or more other 'significant companies'; or
(ii) Non-executive directors or holders of control appointments in ten or more other 'significant companies'.
- The Board shall only assign executive positions to Directors, and shall only approve the assignment of executive positions in Group companies, when these appointments are compatible with the aforementioned criteria, without prejudice to the Board's right to deviate from these limits, either temporarily or permanently, by means of a reasoned resolution, where there exist reasonable, objective grounds for doing so.
The aforementioned criteria are made public in this report and referred to at Shareholders' Meetings convened to appoint the Board of Directors. They 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. Functioning of the Board of Directors (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d)TUF)
The Board of Directors meets regularly and organises and operates according to methods suitable to ensure the effective fulfillment of its functions, pursuing the objective of creating value in the medium to long term and taking into account the guidelines and policies defined for the Group (ref. Principle IX of the Corporate Governance Code).
In accordance with Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Company has drawn up a set of regulations governing the functioning of the Board of Directors, which were approved by the Board itself at its meeting of 15 May 2023. The regulation governs 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 duties 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 items on the agenda, the Company ensures that pre-meeting information is made available sufficiently in advance, normally no later than three days before the meeting. In urgent cases or where confidentiality is required, the information is provided as soon as possible, consistent with these requirements. These deadlines were met throughout the Financial Year.
Directors and Statutory Auditors are required to maintain the confidentiality of documents and information acquired in the performance of their respective duties and to comply with the internal rules adopted by the Company for the management and disclosure of privileged and/or confidential information.
The Chair of the Board of Directors is responsible for setting the agenda and ensuring that meetings are giv

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. is composed of ten Directors, seven of whom qualify as independent. Given their number and expertise, the Independent Directors make a significant contribution to the Board's resolutions and to the oversight of areas potentially exposed to conflicts of interest, as well as to the functioning of the Board Committees.
Following the appointment of its members, and at least once a year thereafter, as well as whenever circumstances arise that are significant in terms of independence, the Board assesses whether its members meet the independence requirements, considering both the information provided by the Directors concerned and any other information available to the Board or to the Company, in accordance with the principles set out in Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.
Lead Independent Director
During the meeting held on 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. 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 Chair and CEO in view of the strategic and management powers entrusted to the Chair of the Board of Directors. The Lead Independent Director represents a point of reference for the coordination of the requests of Non-Executive and Independent 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.
Assessment criteria

a) are an important shareholder of the Company;

gether with others via a Shareholders’ Agreement; or, if the parent is a company or body, with the related executive directors or 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 participation on 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 participation on any Internal Board Committees;

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.
Significance Criteria
As indicated in the Board of Directors’ Guidelines on the Qualitative-Quantitative Composition of the Board of Directors for the three-year period 2023-2025 approved on 15 February 2023, for the purposes of assessing the significance of the commercial, financial, professional relationships and additional remuneration referred to in the previous letters c) and d) (Recommendation 7, letters c) and d), of the Code), the Board considers those situations to be capable of compromising independence which:
a) occur continuously throughout the relevant term of office;
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 participation on any Internal Board Committees.
This is without prejudice to the Board’s right to consider any other useful information and to apply additional criteria that give preference to substance over form.
Outcomes of the verifications and market disclosure
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 Finance Law, 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, the Board of Directors verified satisfaction of the independence requirements by the aforementioned Directors on the basis of the declarations made by the Directors concerned and the information available.
The outcome of the assessments of independence 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 TUF.
With regard to Mr. Marcello Margotto, taking into account the term of his appointment and the criterion set forth in the Corporate Governance Code, at its meeting of 14 February 2024, the Board confirmed his status as independent, by virtue of the consolidated principle of substance over form and acknowledging, among other factors, his consistent independence of judgement, his commitment and his effective participation in the Board’s work.
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code and the TUF, at the meeting held on 13 February 2026, the Board of Directors carried out its annual assessment of the independence requirements, making use of the information provided by the Directors concerned and of all other information available to the Company, and also confirmed the adequacy of the independent component, both ‘quantitatively’ (number of Independent Directors with respect to the size of the Board and the require-

ments of its internal committees) and 'qualitatively' (in terms of professional authoritativeness and skill).
In compliance with the provisions of Article 149, paragraph 1, letter c-bis, of the TUF and Recommendation 6 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed to the Board of Directors, at the same meeting, that it had verified the correct application of the criteria and procedures adopted to assess independence.
Independent Directors' Meeting
The Independent Directors met on 16 October 2025, in the absence of the other Directors, coordinated by
the Lead Independent Director. During the meeting, the Independent Directors discussed whether or not to seek advice from an external consultant for the drafting of the 'self-assessment questionnaire' and the 'guidance document for Board of Directors appointments'. Furthermore, they agreed on the need to receive disaggregated information on the remuneration of Key Management Personnel and reviewed the main proposals for regulatory changes concerning remuneration policies, as well as the timing of the self-assessment process in view of the renewal of the corporate bodies.

5.0 Management of Corporate Information
The Corporate Governance Code 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 (Market Abuse Regulation – MAR) on market abuse, and was updated in 2025 to incorporate the regulatory changes introduced by Regulation (EU) No. 2809/2024, as set out in the Listing Act, including the related implementing provisions and the ESMA guidelines. In particular, the purpose of the Procedure is to define organisational tools and responsibilities for the management of "Significant Information" and "Inside Information" that:
- identify the organisational functions responsible for the management and processing of significant and inside information;
- map the various types of significant information;
- 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 Board Committees (pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2. Letter d) TUF)
The Board of Directors has established the following Internal Board Committees:
- Appointment Committee (please refer to section 7.2);
- Remuneration Committee (please refer to section 8.2);
- Sustainability Committee (please refer to section 8.3);
- 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 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, as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code or current legislation.

7.0 Self-Assessment and Succession of Directors – Appointments Committee
7.1. Self-Assessment and Succession of Directors
In accordance with the Principles and Recommendations of the Code, the Board of Directors annually evaluates the effectiveness of its activities and the contributions made by individual members, as well as by the Board Committees, through a self-assessment process the implementation of which the Board itself oversees. Among other matters, the self-assessment considers the size, composition and operation in practice of the administrative body and its Committees, including with regard to the Board's role in defining strategies and overseeing management.
At its meeting held on 13 February 2026, the Board of Directors carried out the annual self-assessment of its functioning and that of its Board committees, paying particular attention to the frequency of meetings, member attendance, size and composition, and also taking into account the professional characteristics of members and their diversity profiles (including gender diversity). The assessment also considered the Board's effectiveness in reviewing and approving strategic, industrial, financial, and sustainability plans, monitoring management performance, and assessing the adequacy of the organisational, administrative, and accounting structure of the Company and the Group.
The assessment was conducted using a questionnaire prepared by the Appointments Committee and made available to the Directors by the relevant corporate functions. The results obtained from completion of the questionnaires were summarised, in an anonymous form, in a document distributed to the Directors well in advance of the Board meeting.
Following the analysis carried out, the assessment yielded an overall positive outcome with regard to the size, composition and functioning of the Board and its Committees.
Succession plans
As part of the measures to ensure business continuity and the availability of managerial expertise, at its meeting held on 28 April 2017, the Board of Directors established an informal Operational Coordination Committee, comprising the Chair, the Chief Executive Officer, the Section Coordinators and the Chief Financial Officer. At its meeting held on 13 February 2019, the Board of Directors positively assessed the Committee's contribution to operational coordination and the circulation of information among top management, and also acknowledged its usefulness in developing and enhancing managerial talent who may also be relevant for the purposes of continuity in executive roles.
With a view to strengthening the governance strategy and ensuring business continuity, at its meeting of 10 November 2023, the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. approved a Succession Plan, consistent with the objectives of the ESG Plan. The Succession Plan aims to define internal procedures to prevent and manage any disruptions resulting from the prolonged temporary incapacity or termination of key figures holding administrative and management roles, including the Executive Chair, the Chief Executive Officer, any other Executive Directors of the Company, and top management, in order to ensure stability of direction and management continuity for the Company and the Interpump Group.
With reference to the process of appointment and succession of the Board of Directors, it should be noted that, during the most recent renewals, the Company consolidated the practice of providing the Shareholders with the Board's guidelines on the future size and composition of the Board of Directors and on the criteria for the formation of lists, taking into account the results of the self-assessment and the qualitative quantitative needs in terms of the required level of expertise.
In this context, on the occasion of the renewal resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2023, the outgoing Board of Directors, following the favourable opinion of the Appointments Committee,
REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
Interpump Group
CERTIFIED
prepared and published its guidance on the Company's website (on 1 March 2023), making it available to the shareholders prior to the Shareholders' Meeting.
With regard to the Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for 30 April 2026, which will be called upon to renew the Board, the Board of Directors updated the aforementioned guidance at its meeting held on 13 February 2026, following consideration by the Appointments Committee and taking into account the results of the self-assessment, and published it on the Company's website on 26 February 2026, well in advance of the convening of the Shareholders' Meeting.
The guidelines recall Recommendation 23 of the Corporate Governance Code, inviting Shareholders who submit a list containing a number of candidates greater than half of the members to be elected to provide adequate information regarding the list compliance with the orientation expressed by the Board.
7.2. Appointments Committee
Composition and operation of the Appointments Committee (pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), TUF)
During the meeting held on 28 April 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Directors Marcello Margotto, in the role of Chair, Federica Menichetti and Giovanni Tamburi as members of the Appointments Committee. Two members of the Committee, including the Chair, 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 Chair and duly minuted. The Chair shall give an account of proceedings to the next meeting of the Board of Directors.
The functioning of the Appointments Committee is governed by the regulation approved by the Board of Directors during the meeting held on 19 March 2021.
Reference is made to Table 3 annexed to this Report for more detailed information about the Appointments Committee.
Functions of the Appointments Committee
The Appointments Committee helps the Board of Directors to carry out the self-assessments of the Board and its Board Committees, supporting the work of the Chair of the Board to ensure the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process.
In addition, the Appointments 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. The Appointments 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 Appointments 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 Appointments 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 Appointments Committee fulfils an advisory and proposal-making role in identifying the optimal composition of the Board, indicating the professional figures whose presence may foster its proper and effective functioning, and contributes to the preparation, updating and implementation of the Succession Plan.
During 2025, four meetings were held, with an average duration of forty 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 Chair of the Committee.
During the first meeting, held on 13 January 2025, the Committee:
- approved the self-assessment questionnaire, accepting the proposed additions, which introduced a new section reserved solely for Independent Directors and specific questions on stakeholder engagement and the effectiveness of the self-assessment process itself;
- took note of the adoption of the Dilitrust IT platform, which was implemented to ensure complete anonymity in the process of collecting and processing responses and comments to the self-assessment questionnaire;
- reviewed the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee for 2025, focusing on the
REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

completeness and timeliness of pre-meeting disclosures, the measurability of parameters (including ESG) in the Remuneration Policy, and the role of the Chair of the Board of Directors.
During the second meeting, held on 07 February 2025, the Committee:
- resolved on the fulfilment of the independence requirement of the Non-Executive Directors, deeming their participation in the Board of Directors of Interpump Group S.p.A. to be adequate both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view;
- analysed the summary of results of the self-assessment questionnaire of the Board of Directors and Board Committees;
- resolved to propose to the Board of Directors that it seek a balance between industrial and business issues and compliance issues, that it enhance understanding of the organisational structure through induction, and that it foster a more constructive and cohesive relationship between the executive and independent members.
During the third meeting, held on 14 March 2025, the Committee resolved to propose that the Board of Directors identify and designate, by virtue of their role on the Operational Coordination Committee, an addition-
al "Key Manager". This term refers to those who have the power and responsibility, directly or indirectly, for planning, managing, and controlling the Company's activities and for making decisions that may impact its future development and prospects.
During the fourth meeting, held on 12 December 2025, the Committee validated the self-assessment questionnaire, including a dedicated section aimed at gathering the Board's input for the preparation of the guidance document for shareholders ahead of the renewal of the Board of Directors.
One meeting is planned for 2026, already held on 10 February.
In the performance of its functions, the Appointments 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 Appointment 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.

8.0 Remuneration of the Directors – Remuneration Committee
8.1. Directors' Remuneration
Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Policy, approved by the Interpump Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2025 and valid for the 2025-2027 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 Section One of the Report on Remuneration Policy of Interpump Group S.p.A., prepared pursuant to Article 123-ter TUF, available on the Company's 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. This policy balances a fixed component with a short-term variable component and a long-term incentive, consistent with the strategic objectives 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 objectives - personal and corporate - that are specifically identified using financial and non-financial indicators, in pursuit of the strategic objectives 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 a 2023-2025 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 referred, inter alia, to environmental issues, occupational health and safety issues, corporate governance and anti-corruption issues, with specific targets to be achieved. Upon conclusion of the aforementioned 2023-2025 ESG Plan, at its meeting held on 15 May 2025, the Board of Directors also resolved that the ESG targets for the new "2025-2027 Interpump Incentive Plan" – corresponding to 15% of the options that can be granted – will be determined on the basis of the 2026-2028 ESG Plan, which is currently being prepared. These objectives will be selected from the Environmental, Social and Governance areas and must also be measurable and relevant for the purposes of the reporting required under the CSRD.
The variable component of remuneration may also envisage, based on an explicit Board decision acting on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, the right to establish specific deadlines for the vesting of entitlements, 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.
For information regarding the compensation paid in 2025, please refer to the 2025 Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid Report pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF, available on the Company's website (section "Governance", "Remuneration Policies").

Accrual and payment of remuneration

Information and control mechanisms for subsidiaries
Interpump employs structured information flows, certification processes and audit activities for its subsidiaries, which include checks on operational, financial, IT and compliance risks, as well as reviews of key controls and reporting to the CEO, the Control and Risks Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors. The aim of these measures is to ensure the availability, reliability and timeliness of information from subsidiaries, as well as the consistency of the controls underpinning the reporting processes (financial and, where applicable, non-financial).
The Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Function carries out independent monitoring of the design and effectiveness of the declared controls, adopting a risk-based approach that takes into account the size, complexity and risk profile of each subsidiary, with the aim of enhancing the overall reliability of information flows and reducing the risk of inconsistencies or information gaps.
Principal features of the system of management and internal controls over the financial disclosure process
The Internal Control over Financial Reporting system ("ICFR") ensures the credibility, accuracy and timeliness of financial and non-financial disclosures, in accordance with the CoSO Framework ("Internal Control – Integrated Framework"). The ICFR system responds to the need to satisfy the requirements placed on the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to Article 154-bis of the TUF and is an integral part of the Internal Control and Risk Management System adopted by Interpump Group S.p.A.
The ICFR system comprises administrative-accounting procedures, key controls, risk mapping and periodic review processes, including functional tests and remediation plans, in order to guarantee the maintenance, over time, of an effective and efficient 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 Financial Reporting Officer ensures the maintenance and adequacy of the system of internal control over financial reporting, and is assisted by the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance function, which monitors the effectiveness of the following actions:
- identification of the scope of analysis (Compliance Plan prepared in conformity with Law 262/2005) in terms of the Group companies involved, including the related business processes that make a qualit-quantitative contribution to 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 plans) for key controls, implementation of additional controls or modification of business processes, in order to ensure proper functioning of the internal control system.
The results of the evaluation, carried out on the basis of tests, and the operation of the System are reported on, semi-annually and annually, by the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Function to the Financial Reporting Officer, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors, after informing the Control and Risks Committee.
Adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System
The Board of Directors periodically assesses the effectiveness of the ICRMS, availing itself of the activities of the Control and Risks Committee, the Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance Department, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Body.
In the performance of its functions, the Board of Directors avails itself of the Control 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 6 August 2025 and 13 February 2026, the Chair of the Control and Risks Committee reported 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 interests of Directors and Transactions with related parties, and in order to comply with art. 2391-(2) 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.
At its meeting of 4 August 2023, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Committee for Related Party Transactions, 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's Related Party information.
On 6 August 2023, the Board of Directors approved new amendments to the Procedure, having obtained a favourable opinion from the Committee at a special meeting. Among other things, these amendments introduced a significantly higher level of detail regarding the description of the tasks and responsibilities of the various parties involved, the rules governing Related-Party Transactions in urgent cases, and the requirements for applying the exemption for ordinary Transactions concluded on market-equivalent or standard terms, as well as streamlining the rules governing Related-Party Transactions of Lesser Significance, assigning the authority to approve such transactions to the Chair of the Board of Directors, within the scope and limits of the powers granted to them, instead of to the Board as a whole.
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 Euro 200,000 (for natural persons) and Euro 1,000,000 (for legal persons) as the threshold for negligible transactions excluded from application of the revised Procedure;
REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
CERTIFIED
Interpump Group
- excludes from its application the Board resolutions (other than those adopted pursuant to art. 2389, subsection 3, Italian Civil Code) on the remuneration of Directors holding special offices and key management personnel;
- avails itself of the exemption option for ordinary transactions concluded under conditions equivalent to market or standard conditions and for intra-group 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 complete, useful and timely information is provided to the competent bodies, 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 Lawyer Federica Menichetti (Chair), Mr. Nicolò Dubini and Ms Antonia di Bella, who are all 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 2025, two meetings were held, duly minuted and lasting an average of about one hour. At its first meeting, held on 31 July 2025, the Committee expressed a favourable opinion on the update to the Related-Party Transactions Procedure, reviewed the
summary of Transactions that took place in the first half of the year, and discussed the information, proposed by the Remuneration Committee, regarding the award of a one-off bonus. During its second meeting, held on 6 November 2025, the Related-Party Transactions Committee reviewed the report on the Transactions that took place in the third quarter, with specific information on the renewal of lease contracts. Three meetings are planned for 2026, one of which already held on 10 February 2026.
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 RPT 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 corporate 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.

11.0 Board of Statutory Auditors
11.1. Appointment and Replacement
Pursuant to art. 19 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Statutory Auditors is composed of three statutory members and two alternates appointed at the Shareholders' Meeting. The Auditors remain in office for three financial years, expiring on the date of the Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements for their third year in office, and are eligible for re-election. In compliance with the Articles of Association and the regulations in force, auditors are appointed on the basis of criteria that ensure gender balance.
Pursuant to art. 148, subsection 2 Consolidated Finance Law, the Statutory Auditors are appointed using lists that have two sections identifying the candidate Standing Auditors and the candidate Alternate Auditors.
The submission of a list requires ownership of the same minimum percentage of capital required for the submission of lists of candidate Directors, without prejudice to any different maximum percentage established in the laws and regulations in force from time to time. In this regard, the participation threshold established pursuant to the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation in CONSOB resolution n. 155 of 27 January 2026 is 1.00%.
The minimum percentage required for the submission of lists of candidate auditors is halved if, in the ordinary term of twenty-five days prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting convened to make the appointment, a single list has been submitted, or exclusively lists submitted by reciprocally connected shareholders; in this case lists can be submitted up to the third day following said date.
Each shareholder who intends to propose candidates for the office of Auditor, must file at the registered offices by the deadlines envisaged in the regulations in force:
a) a list of candidates composed of two sections: one section for candidate statutory auditors, and the other for candidate alternate auditors. At least one candidate must be indicated in the section concerning statutory auditors and at least one in the section concerning alternate auditors.
If, considering both sections, the list has a number of candidates equal to or greater than three, it must contain, in the statutory auditors section, candidates of both genders in accordance with what specified in the notice of convocation of the Meeting in order to ensure compliance with the regulations in force concerning gender balance. If the section concerning alternate auditors contains two candidates, said candidates must be of different genders. Each candidate in each section must be given a sequential number;
b) a curriculum vitae for each candidate, containing: (i) complete disclosure on their personal and professional features, as well as (ii) the list of appointments as member of management and control bodies in other companies or entities, if significant pursuant to the provisions in force limiting the accumulation of appointments;
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 reasons for ineligibility or incompatibility, their satisfaction of the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements specified in the provisions in force and the code of conduct of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., adopted by the Company from time to time, and the satisfaction of any other requirements demanded 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, company registration number or equivalent, and the percentage of the capital they hold in total, accompanied by a certificate confirming that holding and the declaration required by art. 144-(6), subsection 4, letter b) of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation, certifying the absence of significant interests pursuant to art. 144-(5) of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation.
By the deadline envisaged 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
REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

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 Consolidated Finance Law requires, with regard to the composition of the control body, that "the least represented gender shall comprise not less than two-fifths of the standing 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..
11.2. Composition and functioning of the board of statutory auditors (pursuant to art. 123-(2), subsection 2, letters d) and d-(2), consolidated finance law)
The Board of Statutory Auditors in office was appointed during the Meeting held on 28 April 2023 and will remain in office until the approval of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2025.

See paragraph 4.3 above for information about the diversity criteria and policies adopted.
Independence
The Articles of Association of Interpump Group S.p.A. 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.

The Board of Statutory Auditors assesses – whenever situations arise in which independence is significant, and in any case at least once during each financial year – whether its members continue to meet the independence requirements.
On 13 February 2026, with reference respectively to 2025, 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 auditing firm.
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 paragraph 4.7 of this Report.
Remuneration
The remuneration of the Statutory Auditors is determined at the Shareholders' Meeting that appoints them pursuant to art. 2402 Italian Civil Code, taking into account the commitment required, the importance of the position held and the size and business sector characteristics 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 participation at meetings of the Board of Directors and 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 Corporate Governance 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.

12.0 Relations with Shareholders and other Relevant Stakeholders
Interpump Group S.p.A. considers it a priority to maintain a constant, transparent and structured dialogue with shareholders, investors and, more generally, with the financial community, in order to foster a full understanding of the Group's activities and to promote constructive engagement focused on sustainable success and the creation of value over the medium to long term.
In this context, the Group ensures that the market receives correct, complete and timely information, in compliance with the applicable regulations and internal procedures on the management and disclosure of inside information, and in accordance with the guidelines issued by CONSOB, the principles of the Corporate Governance Code and international best practices.
Since its listing in 1996, the Group has maintained an Investor Relations function, which is responsible for managing relations with the financial community and the associated information flows. This activity is carried out through both one-way and two-way dialogue channels, initiated both by the Group and in response to requests from shareholders and investors, including through specialised intermediaries.
On 4 October 2021, in accordance with Principle IV and Recommendation 3 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors approved the 'Policy for managing dialogue with the shareholders', which is available on the Corporate website in the Governance – Corporate documents section (https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/documenti-societari). The Policy stipulates that relations shall be managed by the top management – the Executive Chair and the Chief Executive Officer – supported by the General Counsel & ESG Director and the Investor Relations function.
With a view to strengthening the provision of information to the corporate governance bodies, regular update flows from the Investor Relations function to the Board of Directors have been established, the frequency of which has been further increased as of 2023.
As at the date of this Report, the Investor Relations function is responsible for managing the flow of information to shareholders, investors and other financial market stakeholders, in full compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment, as well as with the applicable rules on corporate disclosure.
The department can be contacted via the generic address [email protected], or via the direct contact details of the Head ([email protected], tel. +39 0522 904433).
As far as media relations are concerned, this activity is managed by a specialised external company that reports directly to the Executive Chair.
Group-initiated dialogue
Group-initiated dialogue is carried out through different tools, both one-way and two-way interaction.
One-way dialogue: The main communications channels managed by the Investor Relations function are the Group's website and corporate 'presentations'. As of 2022, these tools have undergone a review process aimed at improving their user-friendliness and the quality of the information they provide.
The website has been technically enhanced and its content updated to provide a clear overview of the Group's Equity Story, strategy, history and performance evolution (including a dedicated section on Sustainability).
The presentations have been refined both to support the publication of financial results and for marketing activities, and have been supplemented by dedicated materials focusing on topics of particular interest to the financial community (such as, for example, the progress of the actions under the 2023–2025 ESG Plan and the items on the agenda of Shareholders' Meetings).

CERTIFIED
Two-way dialogue: the Group uses various tools, both in person and virtually. These include onetoone meetings and company visits requested directly by investors or arranged through financial intermediaries; roadshows and reverse roadshows in major financial centres; participation in industry conferences; and conference calls dedicated to the presentation of interim results or particularly significant corporate events.
With regard to company visits, the resumption of reverse roadshows and the growing interest shown by investors in plant visits led, at the end of 2024, to the definition of a standard format, which was subsequently implemented and allows guests to visit one or more production sites depending on the time available. During the Financial Year, around ten visits were organised, which received positive feedback from analysts and investors.
In 2025, market engagement activities consisted of 364 meetings with investors, down 17% from 437 in 2024. Direct contacts accounted for around 20% of the meetings (compared to 17% in 2024). Activities conducted through intermediaries included 9 roadshows (8 in 2024) and participation in 9 conferences (11 in 2024).
The topics of greatest interest to the financial community related to the performance of the Group's results, the short- and medium/longterm outlook in light of the corporate strategy and the macroeconomic and geopolitical context, and ESG issues. In this area, the progress made in implementing the 2023–2025 ESG Plan has helped to focus the dialogue with investors on a more limited number of specific issues. As in previous years, the department also provided support for activities related to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, with a particular focus on the vote on the Report on Remuneration Policy and the 2025–2027 Incentive Plan.
Following the awarding of the 'Best Performer of the Year' prize in February 2024 as part of the SDA Bocconi Best Performance Award initiative, in September 2025, the Group's improvements in financial communication were recognised in the Extel annual survey³, in which the Group was ranked second in the 'Best Improver' category for Italian mid-cap companies.
Engagement Activities
In March 2025, the Capital International fund requested a meeting with the Deputy Chair of the Board of Directors, Mr. Tamburi, and with the Lead Independent Director, Mr. Margotto, to discuss the functioning of the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Policy submitted for approval at the Shareholders' Meeting in April 2025, and the Group's M&A activities.
Disclosure to the Board of Directors
Starting from 2023, the flow of information to the Board of Directors on investor engagement activities and, more generally, on the operations of the Investor Relations Department was reorganised and strengthened. The new approach provides for structured six-monthly updates, supplemented by the possibility of ad hoc briefings in the event of particularly significant outcomes or specific requirements.
The Executive Chair ensures that, in any event, the Board of Directors is informed, at the next available meeting, about any developments in and significant content of the dialogue held with all shareholders.
With regard to the 2025 Financial Year, the Board was briefed at three meetings: on 22 January, with reference to the 2024 financial year; on 7 August, with regard to the activities of the first half of the year; and on 23 January 2026, for the comprehensive report on the 2025 Financial Year.

13.0 Meetings (pursuant to art-123-bis, paragraph 2, letter c) TUF)
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 regulation" that regulates 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 participation 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 Chair of the Meeting to establish the proper execution of the
proxies and, in general, the entitlement to participate in the Meeting.
Art. 10) The Meeting is presided over by the Chair of the Board of Directors or, if this person is not available, by the most senior Deputy Chair 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 Shareholders' Meeting must be convened at least once a year, within one hundred and twenty days from the end of the corporate 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.
In order to allow the more efficient management of business at shareholders' meetings, the shareholders' meeting held on 28 April 2011 approved the Regulations for Shareholders' Meetings, which are published on the website of Interpump Group S.p.A.: https://www.interpumpgroup.it/it/governance/documenti-societari
In 2025, 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, TUF)
There are no additional corporate governance practices to report.
15.0 Changes after the Reporting Date
From the end of the Year to date, no changes have been made to the corporate governance structure.

16.0 Considerations on the letter dated 18 December 2025 from the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee
The Chair of the Company Board of Directors and, for information purposes, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors, received a letter dated 17 December 2025 ("2026 Recommendations") containing recommendations made by the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Massimo Tononi.
The 2026 Recommendations were reviewed by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 13 February 2026, together with the '13th Annual Report on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code – 2025 Report' attached to the aforementioned letter (the 'Report'), following review by the Control and Risks Committee, which discussed its contents at its meeting held on 10 February 2026.
With regard to the recommendation concerning the principle of measurability within the Remuneration Policy (including any extraordinary awards or termination indemnities), it was noted that the current Policy, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2025 for a three-year term, constitutes the currently applicable framework. In any case, this issue will be assessed by the Remuneration Committee, with a view to considering possible refinements to the information provided and/or additional safeguards, in line with the structure of the Policy and the best practices referred to.
With regard to the recommendation concerning the Stakeholder Dialogue Policy, it was noted that the Company has already adopted safeguards and methods of engagement; any potential improvements, including with reference to the distinction between dialogue with shareholders and dialogue with other stakeholders, were referred to the Sustainability Committee, given that the identification and management of significant stakeholders are already the subject of specific activities within the framework of sustainability reporting.
The Board of Directors thus took note of the 2026 Recommendations and agreed to bring them to the attention of the relevant Board Committees, so that they may carry out assessments and make any assessments within their respective areas of responsibility, and subsequently report back to the Board of Directors.
For all the aforementioned areas of interest, the Board of Directors and the Board Committees involved in the specific issues are actively engaged in maintaining and consolidating the suggestions and the additional Recommendations made by the Corporate Governance Committee.
