Letter from the Chairperson of the Appointments and Compensation Committee

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present the Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and 2024 Compensation Paid, an annual document through which we aim to transparently and comprehensively disclose Italgas' Remuneration Policy and its link with the Group's business and sustainability strategy, as well as to strengthen the valuable and constructive dialogue with all stakeholders.

The Appointments and Compensation Committee, set up following the Shareholders' Meeting of 26 April 2022 and currently composed of, in addition to the undersigned, Directors Manuela Sabbatini and Claudio De Marco, has reached the end of its three-year term of office. Over the three-year period, the Committee worked with passion and dedication to ensure that Italgas' Remuneration Policy represents a pivotal element for the achievement of the Group's objectives, increasingly strengthening the link with the Strategic Plan and the Sustainable Value Creation Plan.

All this was also supported by the engagement and listening activities of the main stakeholders and the analyses carried out by external and independent consultants, through which the Appointments and Compensation Committee was able to ascertain a general appreciation of Italgas' Remuneration Policy.

2024 was another year of growth for Italgas, also consolidated by the signing of the purchase agreement for 2i Rete Gas. With this transaction, Italgas is poised to become the leading European operator in the gas distribution sector, thus marking a historic milestone in the Group's history; given the importance of the transaction and in view of its extraordinary and exceptional nature, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, approved a one-off bonus, subject to the closing, for a limited

number of Group employees, aimed at rewarding not only their commitment to intense, technically demanding and strategically enlightened work, but also and above all the continuity of the business, which has been so widely extended thanks to the deferral of part of the bonus for retention purposes.

The results achieved in the economic-financial area reflect the Group's excellence in infrastructure development and the digitisation of assets, not only gas but also water. In fact, on the one hand, the Group continues to play a primary role in the digital transformation of networks and in energy efficiency, confirming the centrality of gas distribution networks on the path of ecological transition in both Italy and Greece, and on the other hand, it continues with the integration of the recently acquired water companies, aiming at fostering the development of a more efficient water distribution service, the reduction of water losses from networks and the creation of value for communities.

This Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid reflects these strategic objectives in the context in which the Group operates.

Among the most relevant changes to this document, I would like to mention the introduction, for the first time, of an employee share ownership plan (the "2025-2027 IGrant Plan"), which the Board of Directors proposes for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting. This plan, intended for the entire Group workforce with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, represents a fundamental element of Italgas' broader total reward strategy and has the objectives of (i) strengthening the Italgas Group employees' sense of belonging through the promotion of a logic of sharing and participation in the overall results, while at the same time offering everyone the opportunity to benefit from the Company's development, (ii) aligning the interests of employees and shareholders, promoting value creation over the medium-long term, and (iii) extending the opportunity to all recipients to hold share capital of the Italgas Group.

The document has also been further refined, placing more and more emphasis on the link between performance and remuneration, especially with a view to sustainable development. Greater visibility is also given to the main results achieved in terms of sustainability, diversity and inclusion and to the numerous initiatives carried out in favour of all Italgas people, also thanks to listening tools such as the annual climate survey and other dedicated surveys,

including the services renewed or activated in the welfare and well-being sphere and the launch of the new "Total Reward: your remuneration in Italgas" service, aimed at offering employees a complete and transparent view of the total value of their remuneration package, consisting not only of direct and variable remuneration, but also of numerous indirect benefits and additional advantages made available by the Company for personal and family well-being. I would also like to emphasise that, thanks to its HR policies and strategies and its commitment to contributing to the well-being of its people and the development of a positive and inclusive work environment, Italgas has been certified Top Employer Italia since 2020, an accolade that the Company has aimed for every year and that underpins the value principles in which it believes.

In general terms, however, the 2025 Remuneration Policy is defined as essentially in line with the previous one and is based on a number of key principles now highly consolidated in the Group:

  • COHERENCE: on an annual basis, the Company conducts remuneration benchmarking analyses to ensure full alignment with key market and governance practices, while monitoring external competitiveness and internal fairness in remuneration. The analyses, carried out with the support of an external and independent advisor, ensured that the remuneration of Italgas' Top Management and of Directors and Statutory Auditors was consistent with market benchmarks, confirming the soundness of the direction taken by the Board of Directors in defining the Company's Remuneration Policy with respect to the reference context.
  • LISTENING: Italgas pays great attention to the opinion of the various corporate stakeholders, both internal and external, in order to promote a remuneration policy that is consistent for the majority of employees and that meets the needs and expectations of shareholders and proxy advisors. Specifically, in 2024 and the early months of 2025, Italgas conducted its usual engagement activities with institutional investors, reinforcing dialogue to increase transparency and ensuring that the expectations of its main stakeholders were taken on board, and carrying out an in-depth analysis, as it does every year, of the results of the Shareholders' Meeting vote on the Report on the 2024 Remuneration Policy and 2023 Compensation Paid. Among the most relevant employee listening initiatives,

however, I consider it of the utmost importance to report the renewal of the "Your Voice Counts" climate survey this year too, aimed at the entire Group workforce, which recorded a response rate once again above the national benchmarks and amounting to 88% in Italy and 87% also including employees in Greece. The survey was designed to measure engagement levels, identify organisational conditions that encourage or hinder a positive internal atmosphere and the engagement of people, highlight possible areas of intervention and initiate an action plan to benefit all of the Group's people.

SUSTAINABILITY AND INCLUSION: inclusion and sustainability issues are constantly at the core of the Group's strategy, also thanks to the Committee's strong emphasis on the close linkage of top management's remuneration being linked to ESG objectives included in both short- and medium/long-term incentive schemes. Italgas' commitment in this area is to hold the entire corporate workforce accountable for the Company's sustainability priorities and foster a climate of general agreement in this regard. Among the main changes, on the subject of inclusion, I would like to mention the challenging goal of bringing complete gender pay equality into the Strategic Plan cycle, now translated into annual targets. Among the sustainability challenges, moreover, Italgas has included in the "IGrant" employee share ownership plan, submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting, the linking of part of the matching mechanism to an ESG objective and has confirmed the dissemination of ESG objectives in all the MBO plan beneficiaries' scorecards. In order to transparently report the Group's action on these priority objectives, this document emphasises and highlights the main achievements in 2024, in terms of both environmental sustainability and inclusion and diversity.

The Remuneration Policy is also consistent with the Company's vision, mission and purpose, and with the three-pillar leadership model that enables the Company to drive change and achieve its strategic objectives: Excellence, Innovation and People. I am convinced, as are my fellow Committee members, that the value principles are fully reflected in the Remuneration Policy presented here; we strongly believe that they will form the basis for the further development that the next Appointments and Compensation Committee in office will want to bring to it.

7

We also believe that this approach can be assessed positively and will meet the expectations of all of Italgas' stakeholders, at the same time ensuring a Remuneration Policy aligned with national and international governance and market best practices.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors and members of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, Manuela Sabbatini and Claudio De Marco, for their meticulous and passionate work carried out together over these years of office, and the company departments for their invaluable and always helpful support.

In the hopes that this Report might provide an effective and in-depth framework of the Italgas Remuneration Policy, I am grateful for the willingness to communicate and for the support during the Shareholders' Meeting for continuous and profitable dialogue to achieve shared and ambitious objectives.

New elements for 2025

In order to ensure continuous improvement of the Remuneration Policy and considering the voting results of the 2024 Shareholders' Meeting, the feedback received from proxy advisors and investors, regulatory developments and market trends, the Company has introduced some new elements in this Report, which are summarised below:

  • comprehensive updating of the representation of information, with particular reference to the paragraphs on linking the Remuneration Policy to the sustainability strategy and employee engagement (services for welfare and well-being and pay transparency);
  • refinement of the calculation of the ratio (so-called "pay ratio") between the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration and the median gross annual remuneration of Italgas Group employees and of the historical trend of employee remuneration, in order both to include in the analysis the perimeter of employees in Greece, with a view to Group representation, and to align with the requirements of the new European Union regulations on sustainability reporting (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, "CSRD");
  • review of the sustainability objectives of the Short-Term Incentive system, in order to identify indicators that are increasingly challenging and consistent with the sustainable development path undertaken by the Company in recent years. In particular, with reference to the 2025 corporate scorecard, a gate was introduced for the targets of the combined accident frequency and severity index for employees and contractors and energy consumption, aimed at strengthening the Company's commitment also with reference to the new companies acquired by the Group;
  • introduction, for the first time in the Italgas Group, of an employee share ownership plan (the "2025-2027 IGrant Plan"), submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval. The plan, based on 3 allocation cycles (2025, 2026 and 2027), is aimed at the entire Group workforce with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, and introduces matching mechanisms offered by the Company against the purchase of Italgas shares. It represents a fundamental element of Italgas' broader total reward strategy and has the objectives of (i) strengthening employees' sense of belonging to the Italgas Group, through the promotion of a logic of sharing and participation in the overall results, while at the

same time offering the opportunity to benefit from the Company's development, (ii) aligning the interests of employees and shareholders, promoting value creation over the medium-long term, and (iii) extending the opportunity to all recipients to hold share capital of the Italgas Group.

The new elements introduced in this document are in line with the guidelines of the Shareholders' Rights Directive II and the provisions of the Issuers' Regulations and the Corporate Governance Code, and also ensure alignment with the best practices of the national and international market.

Key elements of the Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy, which is illustrated in detail in the First Section of this Report, was adopted by the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, on 12 February 2025. The policy is intended to:

  • i) promote sustainable success by pursuing the objectives of the Strategic Plan and the Sustainable Value Creation Plan, improving the long-term financial and non-financial results;
  • ii) pursue and promote the creation of value for the various Company stakeholders: employees, shareholders, local communities, suppliers;
  • iii) attract, retain and motivate people with high professional qualities;
  • iv) encourage the commitment of key resources in relation to strategic objectives;
  • v) encourage actions and conducts that respect the values and culture of the Company, in compliance with the principles of meritocracy, inclusion and plurality, equal opportunity, enhancement of people's knowledge and professionalism, fairness, non-discrimination and integrity required by the Code of Ethics.

2. Pay-mix

The compensation package of the Chief Executive Officer and other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities of the Italgas Group is set-up as follows:

  • A significant portion of the remuneration is linked to the achievement of preestablished objectives linked to the sustainability of the business and the creation of value for stakeholders;
  • A significant component of the compensation package is deferred in time and tied to long-term targets;
  • The remuneration is paid partly in shares to further strengthen the alignment of management and stakeholder interests in the long-term.

64% of the Chief Executive Officer's total target remuneration is related to the achievement of annual and multi-year performance targets.

The target pay-mix for 2025 for the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is set out below.

3. Remuneration Policy and performance

3.1. Italgas: Total Shareholder Return and main benchmarks

The following graph shows a comparison between performance in terms of Total Shareholder Return of Italgas and of the main indexes of comparison, namely the FTSE MIB index and the EURO STOXX Utilities, for the year 2024.

3.2.1. Comparison of corporate performance and remuneration of the Chief

Executive Officer

The graph shows the relationship between the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (fixed compensation and upfront short-term incentive, for the respective year) and Italgas' performance for the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 expressed in terms of sustainability of the results in the form of EBITDA and Net profit and creation of value for shareholders in the form of Total Shareholder Return.

Comparison of corporate performance and annual remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer

3.2.2. Pay Ratio

For the sake of greater transparency, the ratio (so-called "pay ratio") between the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration and the median gross annual remuneration of Italgas Group employees is also shown below, considering:

  • only the fixed remuneration component, represented as the gross annual compensation paid for performing the activities required by the position held;
  • the total remuneration package, represented as total personnel costs actually paid to employees during the year.

Given the presence of Group activities in both Italy and Greece, a correction factor was applied to the Greek perimeter data using the Price Level Index (PLI) values provided by the World Bank, in order to take into account the different purchasing power between the two countries. The PLI, in fact, takes into account both current nominal exchange rates and the relative price levels, thus making comparisons between countries using the same currency more accurate.

It should be noted that the pay ratio, calculated until 2022 only on the Group's Italian perimeter3, remained substantially constant over the years analysed, demonstrating the care taken by the Company in defining its remuneration policies as a whole.

The refinement of the pay ratio calculation method compared to previous years was deemed appropriate in order to both include the perimeter of employees in Greece in the analysis, with a view to Group representation, and to align with the requirements of the new European Union regulations on sustainability reporting (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, "CSRD").

4. Remuneration Policy, Strategy and Sustainability

4.1. Strategic Plan, Sustainable Value Creation Plan and Remuneration Policy

Italgas is committed to ensuring that its Remuneration Policy supports and encourages sustainable business development, in line with the provisions of the Company's Strategic Plan and Sustainable Value Creation Plan.

Italgas' 2024-2030 Strategic Plan, approved by the Board of Directors in 2024, defines the Group's growth path over the next few years, which involves:

  • the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas, which represents a historic turning point for Italgas, creating the European champion in gas distribution;
  • the continuation of the development of gas distribution in Italy, with activities aimed at repurposing and completing the digitisation of the network under the control of the DANA system, and in Greece, with activities to develop the network towards areas of the Country not yet reached by methane;
  • strengthening its presence in the water sector, through the implementation of activities to integrate recently acquired companies into the Group and to share technical and technological know-how aimed at fostering the development of a more efficient service, reducing losses and creating value for communities;
  • accelerating growth in the field of energy efficiency through the use of artificial intelligence in all Group activities.

Following the trajectory already traced by the Strategic Plan is the 2024-2030 Sustainable Value Creation Plan which, starting with an analysis of the challenges posed by the complex external context, identifies actions that, together with targets, will generate a positive impact on the planet, people and the economic system. Indeed, Italgas is committed to fostering decarbonisation, in particular by digitising networks to make them ready for renewable gas, fighting climate change, offering citizens a quality service while protecting the health, safety and welfare of employees and promoting new skills, diversity and inclusion, and supporting suppliers to ensure sustainability in the supply chain.

The definition of the strategic path and the priorities guiding the Group's sustainability strategy starts with an analysis of the material issues, i.e., those considered to have a high impact for the Company, considering the business model, the characteristics, as well as the expectations of its stakeholders.

Italgas updates the materiality analysis on an annual basis, taking into account stakeholder requests, changes in the regulatory environment, the Group's strategy and any drivers capable of significantly affecting the Group's capacity to generate value in the short-, medium- and long-term.

Starting with the FY 2024 financial statements, the new CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) legislation introduced the mandatory requirement to conduct a Double Materiality analysis: Italgas will have to report on issues considered material from an impact perspective (Impact Materiality, considering impacts generated through an inside-out perspective) or financial perspective (Financial Materiality, considering impacts incurred through an outside-in perspective).

Italgas has identified and assessed the impacts generated by its activities, considering both direct operations and indirect activities along the entire value chain, adopting an inside-out perspective, with the aim of identifying the current and potential positive and negative effects that the Group and the stakeholders operating along its value chain generate or could generate on the environment and people. The financial materiality analysis, instead, led to the adoption of an outside-in perspective aimed at identifying risks and opportunities that affect or could affect the Group's financial position, economic results and cash flow, as well as access to the financial market and the cost of capital in the short-, medium- and longterm.

The results of the materiality analysis conducted in the financial year 2023 for the Group are set out below:

4.2. ESG, Human Capital Strategy and Remuneration Policy

For several years, Italgas has been committed to developing and maintaining an effective governance system aligned with national and international best practices in order to address business challenges and the path towards sustainable development as well as possible.

The Sustainable Value Creation Committee was established in the aim of making sustainability prevalent across all areas of the Group since 2016, the year it was once again listed on the FTSE MIB. The Committee, supported by the Sustainability Function, carries

out preparatory work and provides proposals and advice to the Board of Directors on sustainability matters, understood as the guidelines, processes, initiatives and activities intended to oversee the Company's commitment to sustainable development along the Group's entire value chain.

In particular, its main tasks include examining and assessing:

  • the sustainability policies aimed at ensuring the creation of value over time for shareholders and for all other stakeholder in the long-term with regard to the principles of sustainable development; this also in order to support the Board of Directors in the preparation of the business plan;
  • the sustainability guidelines, objectives, plans, instruments and consequent processes;
  • the disclosure of non-financial information pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 254/2016, to be submitted to the Board of Directors, in coordination with the Control, Risk and Related Party Transactions Committee in relation to the assessment by the latter of the suitability of the periodical financial and non-financial information for the purpose of correctly representing the business model, the Company's strategies, the impact of its activities and the performance achieved;
  • the integration of ESG aspects into the ERM matrix;
  • the Company's stakeholder engagement policy.

In addition, when defining the remuneration policies of Top Management, the Sustainable Value Creation Committee is typically called upon to assess whether the sustainability objectives and targets are consistent with the Group's strategic objectives that are relevant to sustainable success.

Italgas' commitment to ESG issues is developed not only at national level but also and above all at international level, through the creation of alliances with partners and experts. More specifically:

  • Italgas is committed to the United Nations Global Compact, the global initiative that encourages the creation of a worldwide network for sustainable development, asking member companies to respect 10 universal principles concerning human rights, labour, environmental protection and the fight against corruption;
  • since 2020 Italgas has been part of the voluntary "Oil and Gas Methane Partnership" initiative to reduce methane emissions in the Oil&Gas sector;

  • in 2023, Italgas continued the Biomethane Industrial Partnership, a partnership platform aimed at facilitating collaboration between policy makers, industry representatives and other stakeholders to achieve the European Commission's target of 35 BCM of biomethane production by 2030;
  • in 2024, for the fourth consecutive year, Italgas received the important Gold Standard award by the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) in the report entitled "An Eye on Methan 2024", published by the United Nations Environment Programme with the support of the European Commission.

The sustainability issues are structured into specific objectives that become an integral part of the Group's operational management. These objectives are monitored constantly through the Sustainable Value Creation Plan developed, in line with the United Nations SDGs and with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, in the Business Plan.

4.2.1. Key results in 2024

Italgas' commitment to ESG remained high and constant throughout 2024. Italgas' sustainability ratings were reconfirmed or improved and its stock was included in an increasing number of primary SRI indexes, in recognition of the sustainable approach of the company's strategies and activities, as well as the transparent information provided to all its stakeholders.

Moreover, confirming the importance of ESG matters for the Group, Italgas undertakes an annual commitment to translate the sustainability objectives into the incentive systems of the entire Company workforce: all the MBO scorecards assigned in 2024 included at least one sustainability target, while the remaining employee population was awarded the production bonus, the disbursement of which is conditional, among other things, on the achievement of sustainability indicators. The purpose of this initiative is to make the entire Company population responsible for the Company's priorities and to consolidate a general climate of agreement in this area.

For 2025, the structure whereby a quarter of the overall weight is placed on ESG targets is confirmed for the Company scorecard, thus aligning the weight of sustainability KPIs with that of key economic and financial metrics. Moreover, Long-Term Incentive Plan sets structured and measurable multi-year targets consistent with the Group's Sustainable Value Creation Plan, with a total weight of 20%.

Summary of 2024 ESG results

4.2.2. Diversity and inclusion

In the ESG area, Italgas pays particular attention to people and diversity and inclusion issues, striving daily to respect all forms of diversity and to support gender equality first and foremost.

In keeping with what was defined in the Strategic Plan and in line with previous years, the initiatives undertaken in 2024 were mainly aimed at further reducing the staffing and pay gap between women and men in the Group, with the aim of making gender representation an increasingly integral element of the corporate culture, and strengthening the D&I culture in terms of gender, ageing and disability.

In order to ensure an effective process of the dissemination of D&I culture in the Group, Italgas:

  • has adopted a policy on diversity, gender equality, inclusion, the prevention of discrimination and protection of the dignity of Group personnel, issued by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee, with the aim of implementing the fundamental principles of the Code of Ethics and maintaining the best conditions of well-being at work, ensuring a working environment inspired by principles of equality and protection of the freedom and inviolability of the person;
  • has incorporated the concept of "inclusion" into the Italgas Group's mission and it is one of the key words of the leadership model;
  • in 2023 and 2024, obtained the UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification for gender equality for Italgas S.p.A., which recognises the ability of organisations to adopt a systemic approach and cultural change that is capable of creating inclusive and equal working environments. In 2024, the same certification was also obtained by Geoside S.p.A., the Italgas Group's ESCo, and the commitment in the years to follow is to achieve this important milestone for all other Group companies as well;
  • also has a specific Policy to ensure the diversity of corporate bodies dedicated to the Board of Directors, the Board Committees and the Board of Statutory Auditors of Italgas S.p.A.;
  • included, as of 2020, a gender balance target in the short-term incentive scorecard, such as the percentage of female applicants out of the total number of applications examined for recruitment and the percentage of women holding the role of head of an organisational unit and the gender pay gap;
  • included in the Strategic Plan 2024-2030 and the Sustainable Value Creation Plan 2024-2030 new targets related to gender pay equity and the development of skills and enhancement of resources.

4.2.3. Gender pay gap in Italgas

In order to continue the path in the D&I area and thanks to the results achieved in terms of gender balance in previous years, from 2024 the Company envisages a new social lever in the short-term incentive by reinforcing the commitment on a specific indicator aimed at reducing the gender pay gap.

In particular, in recent years the Company has conducted an in-depth analysis on the methods used to calculate the gender pay gap, also with the support of external and independent advisors, in order to survey the main market practices in Italy and Europe. As a result of the analyses performed, the Company found that the gender pay gap calculated as the simple mean and median of the ratio of women's and men's remuneration without distinction of job description is not very representative of diversity in the Group.

For this reason, the Company, with the support of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, refined the definition of the gender pay gap, developing the "Gender Equity Pay Gap" indicator, based on the principle of "equal pay for equal work", not only to promote fairness and justice within the workplace, but also to contribute to better employee motivation and satisfaction in order to reduce turnover and at the same time attract talent by improving company performance. The Gender Equity Pay Gap indicator thus identified is therefore based on the average hourly wages of the Group's women and men according to

their clustering based on the organisational weight of the position held (so-called "grade") and homogeneous professionalism.

For the purposes of the Gender Equity Pay Gap, therefore, and developing a personnel classification system that is fair and consistent with the applied methodology, in 2024 the Company reviewed, also with the support of external consultants, the grade of all the organisational positions, resulting in an update of the overall organisational mapping. Moreover, to calculate the Gender Equity Pay Gap, only the fixed component of remuneration is taken into account, since the variable components are defined in accordance with the Group's remuneration policy, i.e., bonus opportunities are attributed solely on the basis of the grade of the role held and paid according to the performance actually achieved.

The Gender Equity Pay Gap was first introduced in the 2024 Company scorecard and confirmed in the 2025 Company scorecard.

4.2.4. The link between Human Capital Strategy and ESG

Italgas' 2024-2030 Sustainable Value Creation Plan is formed of the 3 supporting pillars indicated below, which are then integrated into the Human Capital Strategy and structured at company management incentive system level, further indicating their relevance, and in several initiatives pursued by Italgas.

4.2.5. "IGrant" employee share ownership plan

In order to spread an increasingly inclusive and participatory culture at all organisational levels, in 2024 Italgas developed the Group's first employee share ownership plan (the "2025-2027 IGrant Plan"), which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval. The plan, aimed at the Italgas Group's entire workforce with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, introduces matching mechanisms offered by the Company against the purchase of Italgas shares, and intends to pursue the following goals:

• strengthen employees' sense of belonging to the Italgas Group through the promotion of a logic of sharing and participation in the overall results, while offering them the opportunity to benefit from the Company's development;

  • align the interests of employees and shareholders, promoting value creation in the medium- to long-term;
  • extend to all recipients the opportunity to hold share capital of the Italgas Group.

Furthermore, by identifying a performance target identified among the priority ESG objectives to which part of the matching mechanism is linked, the plan aims to spread commitment to sustainability issues to the entire Company workforce.

The 2025-2027 IGrant Plan is based on 3 allocation cycles, starting in 2025 (1st cycle), 2026 (2nd cycle) and 2027 (3rd cycle), and provides differentiated participation conditions based on the contractual classification. More specifically:

  • for the non-executive ["non dirigenti"] workforce, participation in the plan is envisaged through the purchase of a maximum of 200 Italgas shares for each cycle (so-called "Subscribed Shares"). In exchange for the subscription of shares, in the first participation cycle only, the plan provides for the free assignment of 100 shares (soclled "Bonus Shares") and, for each participation cycle, (i) a further assignment of matching shares in a number equal to 100% of the shares subscribed (so-called "Matching Shares") and (ii) subject to achievement of the ESG objective during the performance period, a further assignment of matching shares in a number equal to 50% of the shares subscribed (so-called "ESG Shares").
  • the executive ["dirigenti"] workforce is expected to join the plan through the purchase of a maximum of 1,400 Italgas shares for each cycle (so-called "Subscribed Shares"). In exchange for the subscription of shares, in the first participation cycle only, the plan provides for the free assignment of 100 shares (so-called "Bonus Shares") and, for each participation cycle, subject to the achievement of the ESG objective during the performance period, an additional assignment of matching shares in a number equal to 25% of the subscribed shares (so-called "ESG Shares").

There is a lock-up period of 3 years for Bonus Shares and Matching Shares and of 1 year for Subscribed Shares and ESG Shares.

For further details on the 2025-2027 Igrant Plan, see the Information Document published in the "Governance – Remuneration" section of the website Italgas.it/en.

Example of how the IGrant Plan operates for non-executive employees against the purchase of the maximum number of shares and membership from the first cycle of the plan, assuming achievement of the ESG target set for each cycle

The IGrant Plan is part of the broader context of policies introduced in the compensation & benefits area and the total reward strategy that Italgas has developed in recent years. Over time, the Group has strengthened its position in crucial areas such as compensation, welfare, talent management and the work environment, becoming a benchmark in the human resources sector. The adoption of an employee share ownership plan completes this path, further strengthening the link between employees and the Company's success.

5. Engagement activities

5.1. Employee engagement and initiatives for people

Italgas pays great attention to the opinion of its employees and constantly monitors their working conditions and remuneration in order to promote a consistent Remuneration Policy for the general Company population. Each year Italgas carries out a structured process to analyse and review the fixed salaries of its employees in order to recognise the merit and growth of individuals. This process considers both principles of internal fairness and competitiveness towards the external market, and the assessment of role performance and compliance with the Italgas leadership model and values, through a structured process involving the People, Innovation & Transformation Department in close collaboration with all Company departments.

In continuity with past years, during 2024, the People, Innovation & Transformation Department carried out numerous initiatives aimed at gathering ideas and proposals for improvement from employees, with the aim of always ensuring continuous listening and implementing actions that are truly effective for the Group's people.

The most significant initiatives include the renewal and updating of the "Your Voice Counts" climate survey aimed at the entire Company workforce, which once again recorded a high response rate from Company employees of 88% in Italy and 87% also including employees in Greece (in line with the previous survey and higher than national benchmarks). The survey, which was designed to meet the Group's new needs and priorities, embracing the new themes with respect to the surveys conducted in 2022 and 2023, was designed to measure engagement levels, identify organisational conditions that encourage or hinder a positive internal atmosphere and the engagement of people, highlight possible areas of intervention and initiate an action plan to benefit all of the Group's people.

Highlights of the 2024 "Your Voice Counts" climate survey

In the welfare area, Italgas provides a plan with a wide range of services and initiatives to meet the diverse needs of the employee population, including support for family, income, health and physical welfare, leisure and daily tasks. These services are accessible to all Group employees, irrespective of the type of contract they have. Initiatives are continuously updated according to the needs and feedback of the employees, and in 2024 the welfare plan was enriched with new initiatives to be more comprehensive and inclusive. Some of the initiatives relating to health and well-being concern the activation of the telemedicine service and health coupons, the expansion of the number of affiliated locations and some training events with the category health fund. On the wellness side, several sports events were organised, such as the "IG Olympic Games", the Milan Marathon, participation in the "Safe Cup - Energy Tournament" and the Athens marathon. In support of shared parenting and work-life balance, the smart working agreement was updated by increasing the age range for parents with children up to 14 years of age and paternity leave was extended, allowing all new fathers to take 5 additional days, in addition to the 10 days currently

provided for by law. 5 interactive parental empowerment workshops were dedicated to parents and also open to their non-employee partners. The welfare plan continues also to offer support for income and leisure (micro-credit, agreements with banking institutions, etc.), for the family (day-care reimbursement, summer camps, study support), and for health and welfare (cancer prevention). "Welfare Days" and webinars are an important opportunity for all Company population to share and learn more.

The formalisation of an accompanying path/return from maternity/paternity leave and the formalisation of an information document on parenting and its management in Italgas are planned for next year. These actions aim, by 2030, to reach more than 90% of employees using corporate welfare services and to achieve higher than 85% net promoter score engagement of employees (degree of satisfaction of working for the Group).

Moreover, in 2024 Italgas launched the new "Total Reward: your remuneration in Italgas" service dedicated to the Group's entire workforce in Italy, through the activation of an individual platform offering employees a complete and transparent view of the total value of their remuneration package, consisting not only of direct and variable remuneration, but also of numerous indirect benefits and additional advantages made available by the Company for personal and family well-being. The new Total Reward service aims to:

  • convey the total value of the remuneration package offered by the Company to each employee;
  • ensure greater transparency and clarity regarding individual salaries;
  • enable employees to monitor the evolution of their reward package through the annual comparison of remuneration components;
  • strengthen the recognition and valorisation of people, including through the provision of indirect remuneration elements.

Thanks to its HR policies and strategies and its commitment to contribute to the well-being of its people and the development of a positive and inclusive work environment, Italgas has been certified Top Employer Italia since 2020, through a certification issued by the Top Employer Institute, the global certifier of corporate excellence in HR.

5.2. Shareholder engagement and analysis of the shareholders' voting results

Italgas considers dialogue with its shareholders and institutional investors on issues relating to the Remuneration Policy as a fundamentally important element, encouraging the long-

term commitment of shareholders in the process to define and analyse how to implement the Remuneration Policy. In 2024 and the early months of 2025, in continuity with previous years, the Company further strengthened dialogue with investors, with the aim of representing the initiatives implemented with regard to remuneration to the best of its ability, and above all ensuring that all shareholder expectations were taken on board.

In relation to the continuous dialogue and listening around the indications received from shareholders and investors, as usual, Italgas carried out an in-depth analysis of the shareholders' voting results regarding the binding vote on the First Section of the Report on the 2024 Remuneration Policy and the 2023 Compensation Paid and the advisory vote on the Second Section. The 2024 Shareholders' Meeting season, in particular, was marked by an increase in the number of votes in favour compared to 2023 with regard to both the Remuneration Policy and the Compensation Paid. Moreover, the results of the Shareholders' Meeting concerning remuneration were also analysed from a comparative perspective with reference to the results recorded in the FTSE MIB Italia index and considering the minorities present at the Shareholders' Meeting, confirming a positive outcome for both resolutions.

The amendments and changes introduced to the Remuneration Policy and presented as part of this Report therefore take account of the analyses conducted during the 2024 season of shareholders' meetings and the dialogue with institutional investors carried out in preparation for the 2025 Shareholders' Meeting, with the aim of increasingly raising transparency and clarity in the disclosure of the Group's remuneration policies.

The trend of the voting results on the Annual Remuneration Reports published by Italgas over the last three years is set out below, highlighting the change in terms of percentage points of votes in 2024 compared to 2023.

5.3. Risk mitigation factors

The Remuneration Policy is also designed to ensure complete alignment of the risk profile between the Group and Management, through instruments and oversights defined to mitigate the assumption of risks by Management and to ensure sustainable value creation over the medium- to long-term. The following table sets out the main risk mitigation initiatives put in place:

1.2. Approval procedure for the 2025 Remuneration Policy

The definition and approval of Italgas' Remuneration Policy involves a number of Corporate Bodies and Departments, in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws and current regulations:

1

The Appointments and Compensation Committee, in exercising its powers, defined the structures and the contents of the Remuneration Policy, for the purposes of preparing this document, in particular at its meetings of 14 and 22 January 2025 and 4, 7 and 12 February 2025, consistently with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code. In making its decisions, the Committee took account of the outcomes of the periodic assessment carried out on the adequacy, overall consistency and practical application of the Policy guidelines decided for 2024.

2

Italgas' 2025 Remuneration Policy for Directors, Statutory Auditors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities was consequently approved by the Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, at its meeting on 12 February 2025, concurrently with the approval of this document.

The Board of Directors then submitted the Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and 2024 Compensation Paid to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of 13 May 2025, which cast a binding vote on the First Section and an advisory vote on the Second Section.

The compensation Policies, defined in line with the instructions of the Board of Directors, are implemented by the delegated Bodies, supported by the relevant Company Departments.

With reference to remuneration, the Committee also made use of the support of a specialist consultancy firm to monitor the market trend and to check the compensation competitiveness of Italgas against Italian, European and sector market practices. Furthermore, for the purposes of this Report, the Committee evaluated the practices observed at national level for the preparation of remuneration reports.

2. Purpose and general principles of the Remuneration Policy

2.1. Purpose

The Italgas Remuneration Policy is consistent with the pursuit of the Company's sustainable success and takes into account the need to attract, retain and motivate people with the skills and professionalism required by the role held in the Company. The Group's significant growth in recent years has increased the visibility of Management and Italgas' Remuneration Policy has always accompanied the growth of the Group and of its key resources, with a focus on attracting and retaining the key and most deserving resources.

Italgas' Remuneration Policy contributes to the accomplishment of the mission and the corporate strategies, by:

  • promoting actions and conducts in line with the vision, the mission, the values and culture of the Company, in compliance with the principles of plurality, equal opportunity, enhancement of people's knowledge and professionalism, fairness, nondiscrimination and integrity required by the Italgas Code of Ethics, by the relevant diversity and inclusion policy and by the Italgas Enterprise System;
  • recognising the responsibilities assigned, the achievements and quality of the professional contribution made, while taking account of the reference context and the compensation markets;
  • defining incentive systems connected to the achievement of economic/financial, business development and sustainability objectives, both operational and individual, defined with a view to ensuring the Company's sustainable success and improvement of long-term results, in line with the aims of the Company's Strategic Plan and the responsibilities assigned.

2.2. General principles

In accordance with the aforesaid purposes, the Remuneration Policy is defined in line with the following principles and criteria:

  • a compensation structure that will attract, retain and motivate people with high professional qualities;
  • a compensation structure, for the Chairperson, consisting of a fixed fee consistent with the position held;

  • non-executive Directors' salaries commensurate with the effort required from them in relation to participating on Board Committees, with different compensation for the Chairperson than the members of each Committee, with respect to the position allocated thereto, for coordinating the work and liaising with the corporate Bodies and corporate Functions;
  • a compensation structure, for the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, with a suitable balance between a fixed component in line with the powers and/or responsibilities assigned and a variable component defined within maximum limits and aimed at linking remuneration to actual performance;
  • remuneration structure, for the Head of Internal Audit, consisting of an annual incentive measured on purely functional objectives, excluding economic-financial objectives;
  • consistency of the overall remuneration with respect to applicable market benchmarks for comparable responsibilities or for positions at a similar level in terms of responsibility and complexity, as part of the panel of companies comparable to Italgas, using specific compensation benchmarks applied with the support of institutional providers of compensation information;
  • variable remuneration of executive roles having greater influence over Company results featuring a significant percentage of incentive components, in particular long-term, including based on equity instruments;
  • adequate periods of deferral and/or accrual of the incentives over a time scale of at least three years, in line with the long-term nature of the business and with the connected risk profiles;
  • predetermined, measurable and definite targets, also on a share basis, linked with the variable remuneration, so as to ensure remuneration for performance over the short- or medium-term by:
    • i. setting targets for short-term incentive plans based on a balanced scorecard that enhances the performance of the business and of the individual, in relation to the specific targets in their area of responsibility and, as regards those that are responsible for internal control functions, consistent with the tasks assigned to them;

  • ii. setting targets for a long-term incentive plan based in ways that allow an assessment of Company performance in absolute terms, with reference to the ability to generate increasing and sustainable levels of profitability, both in relative terms compared to a peer group of listed companies in the European utilities sector, and with reference to the ability to generate value;
  • iii. systematic inclusion among the objectives of the short- and long-term incentive plan of indicators representing the priority objectives of the Company's Sustainable Value Creation Plan;
  • evaluation of assigned performance targets, excluding the effects of external impacts stemming from the development of the benchmark scenario, in order to make the most of the actual contribution to the results achieved;
  • adoption of clawback mechanisms aimed at recovering the variable part of the compensation that is not payable since it was received on the basis of targets achieved as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence or on data that have proven to be manifestly incorrect;
  • benefits in line with market benchmark compensation practices and consistent with current regulations, so as to supplement and enhance the total compensation package, taking into account the position and/or responsibilities assigned, while focusing on the social security and insurance components;
  • any indemnities in severance pay for termination of employment and/or executive positions known to be of a "temporary" nature, or with increased risks of competitive recruitment defined within a given amount or a given number of years of remuneration;
  • any retention bonuses or use of non-compete agreements pursuant to art. 2125 of the Italian Civil Code for roles involving specific knowledge of the business intended to protect corporate and all shareholder interests in the event of terminating employment with the company, with the provision of appropriate penalties in the event of their non-compliance;
  • provision of shareholding guidelines for the Chief Executive Officer, aimed at strengthening the link with shareholder interests.

2.3. Derogations to the Remuneration Policy

On an exceptional and non-recurring basis, pursuant to paragraph 3-bis of Article 123-ter of the CLF updated in 2019 and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulations updated in 2020, Italgas' Board of Directors, always in compliance with the rules governing Related Party Transactions and having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, may permit possible derogations to the Remuneration Policy described in Section One of this Report with regard to the provisions for the Chief Executive Officer and the other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, in order to ensure pursuit of the long-term interests and sustainability of the Group as a whole, or to ensure its ability to compete on the market. In particular, the exceptional circumstances considered may include extraordinary transactions not previously planned (e.g., acquisitions, restructuring, reorganisation or reconversion), exogenous shocks that are unforeseeable or of an extraordinary amount and/or regulatory/legislative in nature, changes in the organisational, managerial and administrative structure of the Company that impact the economic and financial results and the creation of value in the long-term, the rotation in the appointed bodies due to unforeseen events, actions intended to attract/retain the best talent.

In these cases, the Appointments and Compensation Committee, in accordance with the procedure envisaged for Related-Party Transactions, and with possible support from the People, Innovation & Transformation Department, will assess any impact on the Remuneration Policy for the purpose of submitting a proposal for amendment and derogation from said Policy for the approval of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to compliance with its philosophy and principles expressly referred to herein. Approval of such a derogation by the Board necessitates abstention from Board discussions and related resolutions by any interested parties.

All detailed information on the possible application of derogations to this Remuneration Policy will be reported in the Second Section of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid for the year following the application of the derogation.

The elements of the 2025 Remuneration Policy for which, under exceptional circumstances, a derogation may be permitted include: fixed remuneration, the short-term variable component (STI), the medium- to long-term variable component (Co-investment Plan and Long-Term Incentive).

2.4. Market benchmarks

Italgas constantly monitors the main market practices so that the relevant Company Bodies are able to submit remuneration Policies to the shareholders that are increasingly more appropriate for the professionalism, expertise and commitment required.

In keeping with previous years, the 2025 remuneration Policies were evaluated considering the market benchmarks, with support from independent and highly specialised advisors, using specific compensation benchmarks. The chosen market positioning for the Remuneration Policy is defined as below the market median considered for the fixed component, with greater emphasis placed on the variable components with a view to the overall competitiveness of the compensation package. It is believed that this is the best approach to guarantee a direct connection between remuneration and performance, ensuring at the same time a correct alignment with the Company's risk profile.

The Chief Executive Officer's remuneration positioning was analysed, in continuity with previous financial years, against three different peer groups, namely a panel of Italian companies representative of the general market, a panel of Italian companies comparable to Italgas, mainly belonging to the Energy & Utilities sector and infrastructure operators, and a panel of European companies operating in businesses comparable to that of Italgas and therefore representative of the international market of the sector. The companies were therefore identified mainly considering specific size and business criteria in order to ensure their significance. Specifically, Italgas' positioning in terms of size compared to the general Italian panel was below the first quartile for revenues, market capitalisation and number of employees, and between the median and the third quartile for EBITDA and net profit. Compared to the Italian industry panel, however, Italgas' positioning in terms of size was below the first quartile for revenue and number of employees, and between the first quartile and the median for EBITDA, market capitalisation and net profit.

The remuneration benchmarking analyses conducted show that the Chief Executive Officer's fixed remuneration is positioned between the first quartile and the market median with respect to both the general Italian panel and the Italian industry panel, in line with the Company's Remuneration Policy.

The analysis of the Chairperson's remuneration positioning, on the other hand, was carried out in relation to only the Italian companies of the panel identified for the Chief Executive Officer and showed a remuneration positioning in line with the median compared to the

54

general Italian panel and in line with the first quartile of the market with respect to the Italian industry panel.

On the other hand, with regard to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and Top Management, the analysis of the remuneration positioning was carried out in relation to the annual MERG Italy study by the consulting firm Mercer, with reference to roles in companies comparable in size and sector. This analysis revealed an average fixed remuneration positioning also in line with the Company's chosen positioning.

The compensation references used for the various types of role are shown in the table below14:

3. 2025 Remuneration Policy

The guidelines for the 2025 Remuneration Policy are in line with what has been outlined and pursued by Italgas in recent years, therefore aiming to simplify the overall architecture of the incentive system and align the performance targets with shareholders' expectations. Particular attention was paid to ESG issues and the related objectives used in the management incentive schemes, in both the short-term and the long-term, in order to further strengthen the link with the Sustainable Value Creation Plan developed by the Company. The 2025 Remuneration Policy guidelines were evaluated by the Appointments and Compensation Committee as being consistent with the applicable market benchmarks.

Furthermore, the gross-up for the car is expected to be maintained.

As an Italgas Executive, the Chief Executive Officer is the recipient of allowance for workrelated travel, domestically and abroad, in line with the provisions of the national collective labour agreement and supplementary corporate agreements.

3.4.2. Variable incentive plans

3.4.2.1. Short-term incentive

In order to ensure the strong alignment with the interests of shareholders and the creation of long-term value, a short-term incentive plan has been in existence since 2018 which is connected with a system of deferment and co-investment in Company shares (2024-2025 Co-investment Plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 6 May 2024). Using shares as an incentive instrument allows for strengthening of the connection between incentive and long-term value creation, in alignment with all shareholder expectations.

The Short-Term Incentive Plan, together with the related Co-investment Plan, provides for a portion of the incentive to be paid out annually, while a portion is deferred for three years and transformed into an equivalent number of shares as illustrated below.

The 2025 Short-Term Incentive Plan (STI) is connected with the attainment of the corporate objectives set by the Board of Directors of 12 February 2025. These objectives maintain a structure that is focused on essential targets, consistent with the guidelines defined in the Strategic Plan and in the Sustainable Value Creation Plan, in order to ensure they are balanced with respect to the perspectives of interest of different stakeholders. The structure

15 The Chief Executive Officer, Mr Paolo Gallo, is also an Executive ["Dirigente"] of Italgas. The shor-t and long-term fixed and variable compensation referred to him and described herein are understood to be comprehensive of all roles and positions.

Each objective is then measured according to a performance scale (minimum, target and maximum) with an associated score ranging from 70% (for minimum performance) to 130% (for maximum performance). Below the minimum performance for each objective, a score of zero is given. For intermediate values between the minimum and the target and between the target and the maximum, the score is defined by linear interpolation. The weighted average of the performance of each objective by the relative weights determines the overall performance.

If the overall score is less than 85%, no incentive will be paid, irrespective of the level of achievement of the individual objectives (so-called "performance gate").

The accrued Short-term Incentive (STI) is calculated using the following formula:

STI = STI target x Overall score

The incentive levels for the Chief Executive Officer (as a percentage of the fixed remuneration) according to the overall performance level achieved are shown below:

Chief Executive Officer – Short-term incentive performance-payout curve

For intermediate values, the value of the monetary incentive to be paid out is determined by means of linear interpolation.

The accrued Short-term Incentive (STI) is then divided in two portions:

1) a portion paid out annually (I Year) amounting to 65% of the total amount:

I Year = STI x 65%

Consequently, the pay-out relating to the short-term incentive that can be paid out in the year according to the attained performance levels is as follows:

For intermediate values, the value of the monetary incentive to be paid out is determined by means of linear interpolation.

2) a deferred pay-out in the Co-investment Plan equal to the remaining 35% of the total amount:

I Deferred = STI x 35%

3.4.2.2. Co-investment Plan

The 2024-2025 Co-investment Plan, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 6 May 2024, is one of the components of the long-term incentive plan, together with the 2023-2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan described in the following paragraph.

It provides for the allocation of two cycles, starting in 2024 (1st cycle) and 2025 (2nd cycle), both with a three-year vesting period, aligned with the time frame of the 2023-2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The deferred portion of the STI (I Deferred) is transformed into Italgas shares according to the following formula:

=

in which the allocation price [Price Allocation] is calculated as the average of the official daily prices recorded in the thirty calendar days prior to the date of the Board of Directors meeting that approves the reported results pertaining to the short-term incentive.

The shares shall be allocated after the three-year vesting period according to the following timeline:

2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028
ST 2023 D Co-investment, 2024 allocation
SI 12024 -
Co-investment, 2025 allocation
STI final balance and
allocation of shares
Co-investment final balance and
assignment of shares

Co-investment Plan – Timeline

The actual assignment of the shares is subject to a performance condition represented by the EBITDA accumulated in the reference three-year period, based on the values in the budget and Strategic Plan.

Based on the performance level achieved, a Matching by the Company is also envisaged, which consists of a predefined number of shares in addition to those initially allocated. This component ranges from a ratio of 0.6 shares for every share allocated in the event of minimum performance level to a ratio of 1 share for every share allocated in the event of maximum performance level.

The following table summarises the number of shares that can be accrued (Multiplier and Matching) based on the level of performance achieved:

EBITDA accrued in the
three-year reference period
Multiplier
(% shares vs
those allocated)
Matching
(ratio with respect to
shares allocated)
EBITDA < Target -5% 0 0
Minimum EBITDA = Target -5% 70% 0.6:1
Target EBITDA = Target 130% 0.8:1
Maximum EBITDA >= Target +5% 170% 1:1

For intermediate values, the number of shares to be assigned is determined by means of linear interpolation.

For EBITDA results of less than 5% of the target value fixed for the three years (minimum level), the number of shares assigned will be 0 and, therefore, the deferred portion of the annual incentive will not be disbursed either.

The total number of shares assigned will therefore be determined by the following formula:

Shares Assigned = [Shares Allocated x Multiplier] + Matching

There is also provision for an additional number of shares to be assigned (so-called "Dividend Equivalent") on the actually accrued shares in an amount equivalent to the ordinary and extraordinary dividends distributed by Italgas during each three-year performance period and which would be due to the beneficiary during this period. The number of additional shares to be assigned is determined as the ratio between the sum of the dividends distributed in each three-year period and the average price of the share recorded in the 30 calendar days before the Board of Directors' meeting that approves the final accounting of the performance conditions to which the plan is connected.

3.4.2.3. Long-term incentive

The long-term variable component aims to ensure the sustainability of value creation for the shareholders in the medium- to long-term and is made up together with the 2024-2025 Coinvestment Plan, of the 2023-2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2023.

The LTI Plan applies to managerial roles with the greatest impact on company results and provides for the annual allocation to the Chief Executive Officer of an amount equal to 65.5% of the fixed remuneration and the disbursement of the incentive after three years (vesting period) as a percentage of between 0 and 130% based on the weighted variation of the following parameters:

22 The income components are classified as special items, if significant, when: (i) they result from non-recurring events or transactions or from transactions or events which do not occur frequently in the ordinary course of business; (i) they result from events or transactions which are not representative of the normal course of business.

23 The peer group was identified by considering, among the companies belonging to the EURO STOXX TMI Utilities index, those with similar characteristics to Italgas in terms of business (managers of gas/electricity distribution infrastructures), regulation (therefore operating mainly in regulated businesses) and guided by a "dividend-driven" policy, and therefore also comparable from an investor's point of view.

Each objective is then measured according to a performance scale (minimum, target and maximum) with an associated score ranging from 70% (for minimum performance) to 130% (for maximum performance). Below the minimum performance for each objective, a score of zero is given. For intermediate values between the minimum and the target and between the target and the maximum, the score is defined by linear interpolation. The weighted average of the performance of each objective by the relative weights determines the overall performance.

The accrued Long-Term Incentive (LTI) is calculated using the following formula:

LTI Accrued = LTI target x Overall score

The LTI Plan involves a three-year vesting period for each allocation cycle, as shown below.

Long-Term Incentive Plan – Timeline

3.4.3. Severance agreement and pay

The Chief Executive Officer is entitled to compensation for termination of his administration and management employment contract, in line with the practice of the reference markets. Upon termination of the contract, in the event of non-renewal of the mandate on expiry or early termination of the mandate, there is provision for two annual payments to be made

amounting to the annual fixed remuneration plus the average of the variable incentive paid over the previous three years.

The compensation is not payable if the employment contract is terminated for just cause or dismissal with a notice period for subjective reasons but with justification pursuant to the collective agreement or in the event of resignation.

The effects of any termination of the Chief Executive Officer's relationship on the rights allocated under the incentive plans in place are described in the relevant Informative Documents and Allocation Regulations. In particular, for all plans that provide for a vesting period, in the event of termination of the employment contract (agreed by mutual consensus or under good leaver conditions) during the vesting period, the beneficiary shall retain the right to a smaller incentive based on the period elapsed between the allocation of the incentive and the occurrence of this event. In the event of termination of the contract for cases other than those stated above, all rights are forfeited.

3.4.4. Non-compete agreements

A non-compete agreement exists to protect the Company's interests. Based on the standards used by companies of equivalent standing and in accordance with Art. 2125 of the Italian Civil Code, in relation to requirement for the Chief Executive Officer not to engage, for a period of one year after termination of the employment contract, in any kind of activity that might compete with that of Italgas, this provides for a payment equivalent to one annual salary to be made. To protect the Company, penalties are applicable for infringements, subject to compensation for further loss.

3.4.5. Benefits

In accordance with national collective labour agreements and supplementary company agreements for Italgas Executives, the Chief Executive Officer is also entitled to enrolment in the Supplementary Pension Fund (AZIMUT PREVIDENZA)24, enrolment in the Supplementary Health Care Funds (FISDE and CassaPrevint)25 and insurance cover against the risk of death and disability, as well as a car for personal and business use.

3.4.6. Shareholding guidelines

At the proposal of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, with the 2023 Remuneration Policy the Board of Directors introduced specific shareholding guidelines for the Chief Executive Officer, in order to further strengthen the alignment of interests with shareholders in the long-term.

Specifically, these guidelines require the Chief Executive Officer to hold, on a recurring basis, a number of Italgas shares equal to a minimum of one year's fixed remuneration. This level may be reached within 3 years of appointment and must be maintained for the full duration of the appointment.

3.4.7. Pay-mix

The pay-mix of the Chief Executive Officer has a prevalent variable component (short- and long-term) compared to the fixed component (target scenario: 64% vs 36%), thus significantly emphasising the link between remuneration and company performance.

3.5. Control Bodies

3.5.1. Board of Statutory Auditors

The remuneration for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three-year period 2022-2024 was resolved on by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 26 April 2022 and is equal to:

Role Remuneration
Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors € 70,000
Member of the Board of Statutory Auditors € 45,000

Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are also entitled to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.

In view of the nature of this position, there are no: i) short- or long-term variable incentive components; ii) agreements on end-of-mandate settlement and compensation.

The remuneration described herein is in effect until the end of the term of office coinciding with the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the Financial Statements for the financial year 2024. The compensation for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the 2025-2027 term of office will be determined by the Shareholders' Meeting of 13 May 2025.

3.5.2. Head of Internal Audit

The remuneration of the Head of Internal Audit of Italgas consists of a fixed component and a variable component, in line with that provided for the Company's Top Management.

In line with the "Italgas Group Internal Audit guidelines", updated in 2024, the remuneration of the Head of Internal Audit is defined by the Board of Directors, after consulting the Appointments and Compensation Committee and the Control, Risk and Related Party Transactions Committee, and provides for:

• an annual incentive scorecard of objectives, with exclusively functional measurable objectives, excluding economic and financial targets and on which determination of the annual monetary incentive depends;

  • an evaluation scale with minimum, target and maximum performance levels for each objective assigned;
  • direct assessment of specific objectives by the Control, Risk and Related Party Transactions Committee;
  • the standardisation of other forms of deferred and long-term monetary incentives for all managers.

3.6. Executives with Strategic Responsibilities

3.6.1. Fixed remuneration

For Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, the fixed remuneration is determined based on the role and responsibilities assigned, considering the compensation levels found on the market for roles with a similar level of responsibility and managerial complexity in companies on the FTSE MIB index and comparable companies in terms of business type, and can be adjusted periodically as part of the annual salary review process carried out in respect of all managers. Similarly to what is envisaged for the Chief Executive Officer, the average market positioning chosen for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is defined below the median of the market considered for the fixed component, providing for a recovery of competitiveness with the variable components. The guidelines for 2025, considering the reference context and current market trends, provide for selective criteria while maintaining high levels of competitiveness and motivation. In particular, the actions proposed involve adjustments addressed selectively at the holders of positions whose scope of responsibilities has increased or whose position is significantly below the median market references.

In their capacity as Italgas Executives, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities also receive reimbursements for national and international travel, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant national collective agreement and supplementary Company agreements.

3.6.2. Variable incentive plans

The Short-Term Incentive Plan (STI), for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities who are not members of the Independent Manager / Compliance Officer, in line with what is envisaged for the Chief Executive Officer, provides for compensation determined on the

basis of the Italgas and individual performance results with a target (performance = 100%) and maximum (performance = 130%) incentive level of 51% and 67% of the fixed remuneration respectively. A threshold level (overall performance = 85%) is set, below which the incentive is not paid.

For other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities the variable annual incentive for 2025 is determined partly (60%) by the Company results compared to the targets assigned to the Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors on 12 February 2025 and partly (40%) by a series of individual targets (focused on economic/financial, operational and industrial performance, internal efficiency and sustainability matters) assigned in relation to the responsibility held, in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Strategic Plan and Sustainable Value Plan. The incentive component linked to the corporate scorecard was increased compared to previous years in order to strengthen the alignment of the Group's Top Management with the achievement of strategic priorities.

The following table shows the type of objectives assigned to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities:

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities - Objectives of the 2025 Short-Term Incentive Plan

The short-term incentive accrued is then divided into two portions: the annually paid portion amounts to 65% of the total amount, the deferred portion in the Co-investment Plan amounts to 35% of the total amount.

In accordance with the provisions made for the CEO, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities also participate in the long-term incentive plans as follows:

• 2024-2025 Co-investment Plan, in relation to the Company's performance measured in terms of EBITDA, under the same performance conditions and with the same

characteristics as described in the paragraph dedicated to the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration;

• 2023-2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) provided for managerial roles with the greatest impact on the Company's results. This plan has the same performance conditions and characteristics as the LTI Plan envisaged for the CEO. For Executives with Strategic Responsibilities the target incentive is 34% of fixed remuneration. The incentive payable at the end of the three-year vesting period is determined as a percentage of between 0% and 130% of the value allocated, based on the results achieved.

3.6.3. Payments made in the event of termination of office or termination of the

employment contract

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are entitled to receive the severance pay provided for in the relevant national collective labour agreement and any supplementary payments individually agreed on termination according to the criteria established by Italgas in cases of facilitated redundancy, in any case not exceeding two years of total remuneration.

On the date on which this Report was drawn up there were no supplementary individual agreements in the event of termination of the employment contract.

The effects of any termination of the employment contract of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities on the rights allocated under the incentive plans are described in the relevant Informative Documents and Allocation Regulations. In particular, for all Plans that provide for a three-year vesting period, in the event of termination of the employment contract (agreed by mutual consensus or under good leaver conditions) during the vesting period, the beneficiary shall retain the right to a smaller incentive based on the period elapsed between the allocation of the incentive and the occurrence of this event. In the event of termination of the contract for cases other than those stated above, all rights are forfeited.

3.6.4. Benefits

In accordance with national collective labour agreements and supplementary company agreements for Italgas Executives, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are also entitled to enrolment in the Supplementary Pension Fund (FOPDIRE or PREVINDAI or AZIMUT), enrolment in the Supplementary Health Care Fund (FISDE and Cassa Prevint) and insurance cover against the risk of death and disability, as well as a car for personal and business use.

3.7. Independent Managers / Compliance Officers

For Managers, including two Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, who serve as members of the Independent Manager / Compliance Officer, there is a specific Policy in relation to the short- and long-term variable incentive plans, in order to ensure the neutrality

27 The theoretical pay-mix is calculated net of the Dividend Equivalent component (only available during final accounting) and any change in share price.

of management of essential infrastructure, in accordance with the reference legislation28, which does not envisage the allocation of shares, but rather the disbursement of all incentives in monetary form, in addition to specific objectives linked to the distribution scope only.

The remuneration Policy envisaged for members of the Independent Manager / Compliance Officer, albeit with the necessary specifications, is aligned with the Company's overall approach for compensation issues and is formed of a short-term variable incentive component, a medium-term component and a long-term one, in line with the structure envisaged for the Group's Managers. In particular, the following is provided for:

  • A short-term incentive (STI);
  • A deferment plan for the short-term incentive "Bonus Bank" in monetary form;
  • A long-term incentive (LTI) plan.

With reference to the short-term component, an incentive system is envisaged based on an outline with individual objectives and/or objectives attributable to the specific business area. With regard to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, the bonus opportunity is 51% of the fixed remuneration for performance at target, as envisaged for the other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities who are not part of the Independent Manager / Compliance Officer.

65% of the Short-Term Incentive (STI) is paid up-front on the basis of achievement of the annual results, whereas 35% is "invested" into a company "Bonus Bank" plan and is subject to a performance condition, tied to the EBITDA of the unbundling scope, according to the same incentive scale envisaged for other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities who are not part of the Independent Manager / Compliance Officer. This deferred component is paid in monetary form in compliance with the functional unbundling legislation.

The Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Plan has the same characteristics as those defined for other Managers of the Group, but with objectives structured according to the unbundling perimeter in line with the reference legislation. In particular, the following objectives are envisaged for 2025 allocation:

28 Pursuant to Annex A (TIUF) to resolution 296/2015, amended and supplemented with resolution 15/2018, which, in addition to providing for specific provisions relating to the functional unbundling obligations for companies operating in the electricity and gas sectors, governs the independence requirements of the members of the Independent Manager / Compliance Officer of companies operating in the corporate unbundling of sales and production. In particular, subsection 10.3 sets out the ban on implementing compensation policies or incentive systems directly or indirectly connected to the performance of the sales or production activity of electricity or natural gas.

All the variable incentive systems include a claw-back clause whereby, within the legal statute-barred term (ten years), the Company is able to retake possession of amounts paid in the event that it is ascertained that the achievement of the objectives is attributable to malicious or grossly negligent behaviour or, in any case, implemented in violation of the reference standards.

Second Section – 2024 Compensation Paid and other information

1. Implementation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy

Below is a description of the application of the Remuneration Policy in 2024 for the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, non-executive Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Board of Statutory Auditors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

The implementation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy, as verified by the Appointments and Compensation Committee during the periodic assessment required by the Corporate Governance Code, was implemented in accordance with the general principles referred to in the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors and was consistent with what was envisaged, both in the market references found and in terms of overall positioning and pay mix.

Furthermore, in 2024, in compliance with the application of regulations related to functional unbundling, Italgas applied the principles of the Remuneration Policy defined for Independent Managers / Compliance Officers.

In accordance with Legislative Decree 49/2019, article 4, paragraph b, shown below are the 2024 performance results based on the targets set by Italgas' Board of Directors, which will determine or contribute to determining the incentives pertaining to 2024 which will be disbursed in 2025.

The incentives disbursed in 2024 were paid on basis of the final statement of results for 2023, as accrued within the Italgas Group and approved by the Board of Directors following the verification and proposal made by the Appointments and Compensation Committee, which were sated in the Report on the 2024 Remuneration Policy and 2023 Compensation Paid.

2. Final accounting of the performance of the variable incentive plans

2.1. Short-Term Incentive Plan

The 2024 annual incentives are paid on the basis of the final statement of results for the targets set for 2024 in accordance with the Strategic Plan and the annual budget, determined on a constant scenario basis. In particular, the results for the targets set for 2024 were finalised by the Board of Directors as suggested by the Appointments and Compensation Committee, with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory, at the meeting on 12 February 2025 and determined a Company scorecard performance score of 125.7 points on the measurement scale which provides for a minimum, target and maximum performance level of 70, 100 and 130 points respectively. This score determines the overall value of the short-term incentive for the Chief Executive Officer and is a significant component of the short-term incentive scorecard for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, with a weight of 40%.

The following table shows, for each target, the weighting assigned and the level of performance reached.

30 On 1 September 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of DEPA Infrastructure, now called Enaon; therefore, as of 2023, the figures take into account the Group's total perimeter including employees in Greece. With reference to the Greek perimeter data, a correction factor was applied using the Price Level Index (PLI) values provided by the World Bank, in order to take into account the different purchasing power between the two countries. The PLI, in fact, takes into account both current nominal exchange rates and the relative price levels, thus making comparisons between countries using the same currency more accurate. The analysis considers fulltime employees only.

5. Transaction Bonus

On 24 October 2024, the Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Appointments and Compensation Committee and in compliance with the "Transactions involving the interest of the Directors and Statutory Auditors and Transactions with Related Parties" Procedure, also

for the purposes of Italgas' 2024 Remuneration Policy32, resolved to award a one-off bonus related to the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas S.p.A. (so-called "Transaction Bonus") to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Italgas as well as other selected employees, including 6 Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, who made a significant contribution to the transaction. The Transaction Bonus, in particular, was resolved in consideration of the extraordinary and exceptional nature of the acquisition transaction capable of generating value creation and long-term competitiveness.

In fact, the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas S.p.A. has a significant industrial and financial rationale, in consideration of the fact that integration of the target company into the Italgas Group allows the creation of a European champion in the gas distribution sector, with unique investment and innovation capabilities. The transaction underwent in-depth analysis and evaluation by the Board of Directors, which noted its strong strategic rationale based on the following elements:

  • (i) the creation of a European champion: the consolidation of the gas distribution sector in Italy will accelerate the implementation of investments and the uniform development of the national infrastructure;
  • (ii) the creation of a platform to promote investments and the energy transition: the increased investment capacity will allow the Company to continue to play a leading role in supporting a safe, sustainable and economic ecological transition;
  • (iii) value creation: opportunities for growth and investment in innovation, the development of industrial synergies and cost efficiency will maximise value creation for the benefit of shareholders and all stakeholders.

In fact, the new company configuration will be able to rely on Italgas' know-how in the digitisation of assets and its track record achieved in operational excellence from its listing on the stock exchange up to today. With over 6,500 employees, the new entity will serve 12.9 million customers on the gas infrastructure in Italy and Greece, to whom it distributes an average of more than 13 billion cubic metres of gas each year through 154,000 kilometres of networks.

32 For a description of the 2024 Remuneration Policy, see the First Section of Italgas' "Report on the 2024 Remuneration Policy and 2023 Compensation Paid", approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 6 May 2024 and available on the Company's website www.italgas.it/en "Governance - Remuneration" section.

In particular, the Transaction Bonus is awarded in application of the provisions of the 2024 Remuneration Policy (which does not expressly provide for extraordinary bonuses) concerning exercise of the option to derogate the same, in particular where it indicates, in paragraph "2.3. Derogations to the Remuneration Policy": «On an exceptional and nonrecurring basis, [...] Italgas' Board of Directors [...] may permit possible derogations to the Remuneration Policy [...] in order to ensure pursuit of the long-term interests and sustainability of the Group as a whole, or to ensure its ability to compete on the market. In particular, the exceptional circumstances considered may include extraordinary transactions not previously planned (e.g., acquisitions, restructuring, reorganisation or reconversion), [...].».

For the purpose of drafting its proposal, the Appointments and Compensation Committee consulted its advisors, experts in both remuneration and legal policies, with whom it conducted an in-depth analysis of the reference benchmarks for extraordinary bonuses and international market practices, the existence of the conditions for awarding the Transaction Bonus and the profiles pertaining to its quantification, as well as the correct procedural process to be followed for its approval.

Payment of the Transaction Bonus is subject to the closing of the transaction and is envisaged, for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, in two instalments, i.,e. 50% in cash at the closing and the remaining 50% in the form of shares 18 months after the closing, with the exception of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities appointed as Independent Managers / Compliance Officers for whom the bonus is paid on the same dates in two instalments, both in cash. The deferral condition allows the retention purpose to be emphasised and reinforced.

The total value of the Transaction Bonus at the date of allocation was 850,000 euros for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and 1,487,000 euros in total for the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.
