Minutes of ordinary and extraordinary Shareholders' meeting

of a listed company

REPUBLIC OF ITALY

In the year 2025 (twenty twenty-five)

on the 24 day

of the month of April

Milan, Via Agnello n. 18.

I, the undersigned Andrea De Costa, notary in Milan, registered with the Board of Notaries of Milan, at the request - expressed through Ms Benedetta Navarra, Chairperson of the Board of Directors - of the listed joint stock company:

"Italgas S.p.A."

with registered office in Milan, via Carlo Bo no. 11, share capital 1,004,478,347.72 euros, fully paid in, tax code, VAT Number and registration number in the Milan-Monza-Brianza-Lodi Business Register: 09540420966, registered on the Milan R.E.A. under No. 2097057 (hereinafter "Italgas S.p.A." or the "Company"),

I proceed to draft and sign, pursuant to Article 2375 of the Italian Civil Code, with the consent of the Shareholders' Meeting also for the Ordinary Session of the agenda, the minutes

of the Shareholders' Meeting of said Company held on

10 (tenth) April 2025 (twenty twenty-five)

in accordance with the notice referred to below, to discuss and vote on the Agenda which is also reproduced below.

Endorsing the request, I acknowledge that the aforementioned ordinary and extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, which I am attending as the Notary at the company's offices in Milan, via Carlo Bo 11, without interruption, takes place as reported below.

***

At 10:00 a.m., pursuant to Article 11.2 of the Bylaws, as Chairperson of the Board of Directors, Benedetta Navarra took the chair of the Shareholders' Meeting and declared the meeting open. Therefore, with the consent of the Shareholders' Meeting, she called upon me, as Notary Public, to act as secretary also for the Ordinary Session.

The Chairperson also asked me, the Notary, to provide – with the consent of those present – the information necessary to be able to declare today's meeting properly constituted. The Chairperson then explained the voting procedures.

She informed those present that an electronic voting system using a Radiovoter® had been adopted for the day's Shareholders'

Meeting, with the intention of reducing the time taken for the counting operations.

Deeming it necessary to provide those present with the necessary information for the correct use of the Radiovoter® (delivered at the time of registration), she asked the director to transmit the slide explaining how to vote using the Radiovoter®.

Participation in the Shareholders' Meeting is achieved through the use of an electronic device consisting of a remote control called a Radiovoter®, to which are associated the identification data of the person entitled to attend the meeting and the number of voting rights he/she holds or represents by proxy.

Please note that the Radiovoter® is absolutely and strictly personal; it must not be given to others, left unattended or otherwise. Each person entitled to attend is personally responsible for ensuring its careful safekeeping. Any loss must be promptly reported to the service personnel at the workstations in the registration areas.

The Radiovoter® serves three purposes:

  • recording the participation of the eligible person in the Shareholders' Meeting, including the number of votes the person has in person and the number of votes assigned to them through proxies;

  • verifying the legitimacy of requests to speak;

  • ensuring eligibility to vote

in the manner described below.

To enter, leave or re-enter the meeting room, individuals are required to pass through the workstations situated at the entrance. These workstations record the actual entry into the meeting room, the termination of participation if someone leaves (even temporarily), and the resumption of participation if someone re-enters.

Entitled persons present in the room will be asked to cast their vote using the special Radiovoter® tools given to them at the time of registration: when asked to proceed to the vote, the entitled person or their proxy should express their vote by pressing only one of the buttons on the Radiovoter®, respectively indicated in green "IN FAVOUR", red "AGAINST" or yellow "ABSTAIN". They should then immediately press the "OK" button. Until this last button has been pressed, the voter can change his or her vote, and the vote cast will remain visible on the display until each voting session has ended. After the vote has been cast, the voter must press the "OK" button. Until this last button has been pressed, the voter can change his or her vote; once the vote has been cast it will be recorded.

Those who do not cast any vote will be considered as non-voters. Votes may be cast within 1 minute of the start of each voting session; after this period of time voting will be declared to have closed.

The representatives of several shareholders or trusts who intend to cast differentiated votes based on the proxies received must necessarily go to the assisted voting station.

The Chairperson informed the meeting that:

  • in accordance with the current provisions, the call notice for the Meeting was published, in full, on the Company website on 11 March 2025, and that a summary was published in the newspapers Il Sole 24 Ore and Financial Times, in addition to being disseminated in the other ways prescribed by the regulations in force;

-- in accordance with the Regulations of the Shareholders' Meetings, the maximum length of each speech is set by the Chairperson at five minutes for each topic during the discussion, which will take place jointly for all topics on the agenda. The votes will then be cast separately for the different items on the agenda; this allows all those entitled to speak and

express their opinion a reasonable time to do so and at the same time it maintains the duration of the Shareholders' Meeting within appropriate limits out of respect for all those present. Bava declared his objection to setting a five-minute time limit. The Chairperson took note and continued with the following further announcements:

-- response speeches were not permitted and, after debate had closed, only short declarations of voting intention were permitted, henceforth indicated by the Chairperson to have a total duration of two minutes per subject, and she reserved the right to decide on any specific requests at the time;

-- similarly, if points of order should be presented that have not been scheduled for discussion, if the Chairperson should decide to put them to a vote, any proposals formulated by the Chairperson will be voted on first, and only if these are rejected will the proposals of the attendees be put to the vote; -- attendees' proposals would be put to the vote starting with

the proposal presented by those who represent the highest percentage of capital. Only if the proposal put to the vote should be rejected, the next proposal, in order of capital represented, would be put to the vote;

  • regarding the day's Shareholders' Meeting, the requirements of civil law and of the regulations on regulated markets had been complied with.

The Chairperson therefore declared today's Shareholders' Meeting validly constituted and entitled to resolve on the items listed on the agenda, first and foremost at the ordinary session.

The Chairperson informed the meeting:

  • that the Company has received no requests for the agenda to be supplemented or new proposals of resolutions, pursuant to the law and to art. 126-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance;

  • that the entitlement to vote of those present has been verified, based on the circumstances known to the Company and the declarations made by those present; in any event, the attendees were invited, pursuant to the law, current regulations and Bylaws, to report the existence of any lack of entitlement to vote or exclusion from voting, as well as the existence of any shareholders' agreements. This in relation to all votes; - that, based on the shareholders' list, the information

received pursuant to article 120 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 (TUF) and the deposits made for today's Shareholders' meeting, the shareholders who directly or indirectly own shares with voting rights representing more than 3% of the total issued shares are (1) Declarant - CDP shareholder - CDP Reti - % share of ordinary capital - 25.96 - % share of voting capital - 25.96 - no. of shares held - 210,738,424 shareholder - Snam - % share of ordinary share capital - 13.46 - % share of voting capital - 13.46 - no. of shares held - 109,233,293 TOTAL - % share of ordinary share capital - 39.42 - % share of voting capital - 39.42 - no. of shares held - 319,971,717 (2) Declarant - Lazard Llc shareholder - Lazard Llc % share of ordinary share capital - 7.71 % share of voting share capital - 7.71 no. of shares held - 62,604,407; - that, as concerns significant shareholders' agreements in accordance with art. 122 of the TUF, the following is noted. The Company is aware of the shareholders' agreement signed on 20

October 2016 between CDP Reti S.p.A. and Snam S.p.A. (the "Agreement"), concerning all the shares that each of them would come to hold in Italgas S.p.A., as a result and effective as of the date the partial and proportional demerger of Snam S.p.A. in favour of Italgas S.p.A. came into force and the simultaneous admission of Italgas S.p.A. shares to listing; the Agreement, which came into force on 7 November 2016, governs, inter alia: (i) the exercise of voting rights attached to syndicated shares, (ii) the establishment of an advisory committee, (iii) the obligations and procedures for the submission of a joint list for the appointment of members of the Company's Board of Directors, and (iv) certain restrictions on the sale and purchase of Italgas shares; the Agreement was subsequently renewed on 7 November 2019 and 7 November 2022, respectively; on 21 March 2023, Snam S.p.A. and CDP Reti S.p.A. signed an agreement amending the Agreement; as required by applicable regulations, notice of this Agreement was provided to Consob pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, among other things, and it was published, pursuant to the law, on the Company's website (under: investors/title-shareholding/shareholders-

The Chairperson informed the meeting that

agreements/).

  • with regard to the questions put forward during the Shareholders' Meeting, the following procedure will be followed. Answers would be given after the conclusion of all the speeches on the items on the agenda and after any short pause needed to prepare the responses in a systematic way. At the end of the responses, the proposals on the agenda items would be put to the vote, separately from each other;

  • regarding the right to put questions pursuant to art. 127-ter of the TUF, some questions were received; the questions and the relevant answers given by the Company were published on the Company's website and are annexed to these minutes under "B". The Chairperson recalled that, pursuant to the law, the Company had appointed Computershare S.p.A., represented here by Claudio Cattaneo, as the subject ("Representative") on whom those entitled might confer a proxy with voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda. The Representative was granted proxies.

Before proceeding to debate the agenda, the Chairperson recalled those present that:

  • the Reports of the Board of Directors containing the proposed resolutions had been made available at the Company's Registered Office, on the Company's website www.italgas.it (under

"Investors" - "Governance" – "Shareholders' Meeting" - "Shareholders' Meeting: 10 April 2025") and via the authorised storage mechanism "eMarket STORAGE" within the terms of the law; - said Reports, the Information Document on the 2025-2027 Broadbased Share Ownership Plan and the Information Document on the Stock Grant Plan were also made available in paper format at the entrance of the meeting room.

Lastly, it was noted that the individual items on the agenda would be set out separately, followed by a single discussion of all items in the Ordinary Session. The votes are separate for each item on the agenda, however.

***

The Chairperson moved on to the discussion of the Ordinary Session of the Shareholders' Meeting agenda and asked the Notary Public to proceed, with the consent of those present, to read out the Board of Directors' proposals for resolution regarding agenda Item 1) and Item 2) of the Ordinary Session of today's Shareholders' Meeting.

At the request of the Chairperson, I, the Notary, read out the proposed resolutions contained in the Reports of the Board of Directors, annexed to these minutes under "C", as transcribed below.

Bava recalled his own websites www.marcobava.it, www.nuovomodellodisviluppo.it and www.omicidioedoardoagnelli.it; and pointed out that he has no suicidal intentions and that any incidents may therefore not be accidental. Turning to the items on the agenda, he expressed his opposition to the proposed incentive plans, both because they constitute, in his opinion, a distortion of the principle underlying every employment relationship, whereby everyone should receive a predetermined remuneration for the work they do, and because they create different "categories" of employees: in his opinion, these are "decisions that corrupt the way working relationships with people are managed".

Bava reiterated that he believed the proposals to be a mistake, which he asked to be acknowledged (recalling how in the last few days even the President of the United States, considered ineffable by some, has acknowledged that he has made some mistakes), a mistake that, in his opinion, undermines the Company's support and stability with regard to the correct management of remuneration, creating "A-list and B-list employees".

Mr Gallo pointed out that all Italgas employees, thanks also to

the union agreements in place, are entitled to a variable salary based on the results achieved, in addition to the fixed salary. Bava asked to take the floor by voting declaration, and expressed dissatisfaction with the response received from the CEO, considering the bonuses to be non-transparent and subjective: in this regard, he recalled his personal experience as a Telecom employee and concluded with the motto errare humanum est, diabolicum perseverare (to err is human, but to persist is diabolical).

With no one else asking to take the floor, the Chairperson closed the discussion and put the proposals read out and transcribed below to the vote (at 10:23 a.m.):

***

At 10:27 a.m. the Chairperson moved on to the discussion of the Extraordinary Session of the Shareholders' Meeting agenda. She announced that at that time, there were 840 Shareholders present, in person or by proxy, for a total of 644,777,689 shares representing 79.430192 % of the share capital with voting rights.

She therefore declared the Shareholders' Meeting validly constituted and entitled to resolve on the items listed on the agenda, also in extraordinary session.

Therefore, after briefly recalling the statements made at the beginning of the Ordinary Session of the Shareholders' Meeting concerning significant shareholdings, shareholder agreements pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, the publication of the Board of Directors' Reports containing the proposed resolutions at the Company's registered office, on the Company website and via the authorised storage mechanism "eMarket STORAGE" within the terms set forth by law, the Chairperson stated that, for the Extraordinary Session too, the individual agenda items would be set out separately, followed by a single discussion of all items

in the Extraordinary Session. The votes are separate for each item on the agenda, however.

Upon request by the Chairperson, Mr Gallo provided an explanation of the capital increase referred to in the first agenda item of the extraordinary session of the Shareholders' Meeting, by projecting and commenting on the slides attached to these minutes under "D".

The Chairperson asked me, the Notary Public, to proceed – with the consent of those in attendance – to read out the Board of Directors' proposals for resolutions on agenda items 1), 2) and 3) of the extraordinary session of today's Shareholders' Meeting.

At the request of the Chairperson, I, the Notary, read out the proposed resolutions contained in the Reports of the Board of Directors, annexed to these minutes under "C", as transcribed below.

The Chairperson then opened the discussion.

Bava once again objected to the five-minute time limit for taking the floor, and recalled what was said in his pre-meeting questions, in particular regarding the fact that 2025 is a crucial year for the energy transition, with the start of the first phase of European legislation that will lead to a ban on

the use of fossil fuels (including gas) for domestic heating by 2040. It follows, in his view, that energy is destined to become a public good and, for this reason, it seems riskier than ever to invest in the sector, as demonstrated by the slowdown in investment in renewable energy. Furthermore, the shareholder pointed out a divergence between Italgas' strategy, which - in line with the Government's indications - continues to focus on investments in gas, and that of Snam, which has disassociated itself from the proposed capital increase, focusing instead on hydrogen and electrolysers; he believes that Italgas' and the Government's strategy is mistaken, as it is in stark contrast with the course of events taking place in the immediate future. Referring to press reports on possible promotions of the CEO to other positions, the shareholder expressed his fear that Italgas' strategy - which, he reiterates, he believes is wrong - is being pursued based on the interests of external lobbies, particularly American lobbies. He also bemoaned the disastrous environmental effects generated by regasifiers and feared that Italgas was heading for disaster due to these mistaken investments.

Asked by the Chairperson to conclude, Bava stated his view that there are reckless and brash illusions in Italgas, recalling,

among other things, that the self-driving car, which the CEO said he hoped for, is legally impossible because it would violate the principles of personal criminal liability. Asked again by the Chairperson to conclude, Bava complained about the short time available, which in his view showed a lack of willingness to reflect on anything other than personal careers.

With no one else asking for the floor, Mr Gallo recalled that Snam has recently acquired 25% of the main German TSO (Transport System Operator) and that questions concerning the strategic choices of Snam's shareholder must be put to Snam itself; he pointed out that self-driving cars are by no means an illusion but a reality, for example in San Francisco where they operate as taxis, while in Italy they are currently banned. He then stated not to confuse fossil fuels with gases: there are gases of different origin, such as biomethane and hydrogen. More generally, also recalling his own recent publication on the subject, he urged those present to be wary of the idea that emission problems may be resolved through the exclusive use of renewable energies and electrification: if we abandon political and ideological positions and adopt a technical view point, we cannot ignore the need to use a combination of green electrons with so-called green molecules, which, compared to electrons,

allow energy to be stored and, above all, to manage consumption in a way that is not instantaneous, as is the case with electricity - it is then a matter, he concluded, of investing in the decarbonisation of molecules.

Bava asked to speak by voting declaration and reiterated his stance on the potential of the hydrogen-stabilised electricity grid; he recalled the fatal accidents caused by self-driving cars; he pointed out that the hydrogen molecule was so small that it could not be transported; he deemed "stupid" Ursula Von der Leyen's decision to transport hydrogen from Africa to Germany.

Asked by the Chairperson to conclude, Bava complained that the Chairperson did not seem to care about Italgas and its strategies, but only about her own salary as Chairperson. With no one else asking to take the floor, the Chairperson closed the discussion and, with no changes in those in attendance, put the proposals read out and transcribed below to the vote (at 11:10 a.m.):

Proposal for resolution on agenda Item 1 (Extraordinary Session)

"The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, having examined the proposal of the Board of Directors, resolves to: 1. increase the Company's share capital, against
