Dear Shareholders,
You have been convened in an Extraordinary Meeting to examine and approve a number of amendments to the By-laws of Italmobiliare S.p.A. ("Company").
The most significant of these amendments are intended to enable the adoption of a one-tier administration and control system pursuant to Articles 2409-sexiesdecies of the Italian Civil Code (as supplemented by the provisions applicable to listed companies), under which the functions of administration and control are respectively entrusted to the Board of Directors and to a committee established within it, the Management Control Committee, with no appointment of a Board of Statutory Auditors.
Further amendments are also proposed in order to expressly reflect, within the activities instrumental to the pursuit of the corporate object, Italmobiliare's commitment to achieving sustainable success through long-term value creation; extend the duration of the Company; incorporate recent developments concerning the conduct of meetings of corporate bodies; and update certain provisions of the By-laws.
1. Adoption of the one-tier system
As is known, the one-tier system – introduced into Italian corporate law by the 2003 Reform (Legislative Decree No. 6/2003) – is one of the three governance models provided under Italian law for joint-stock companies (alongside the traditional system, currently adopted by Italmobiliare, and the two-tier system). Its key features are as follows:
- Management and control are concentrated within a single body, the Board of Directors, without the appointment of a Board of Statutory Auditors, which is instead required under the traditional system;
- Within the Board of Directors, a Management Control Committee is appointed, composed of non-executive directors who meet the requirements of integrity, professionalism and independence established by the applicable legislation, at least one of whom must be registered in the register of statutory auditors (Article 2409-octiesdecies of the Italian Civil Code);
- The Management Control Committee performs a function similar to that of the Board of Statutory Auditors; the control function is therefore integrated into the Board structure and entrusted to directors who fully participate, with voting rights, in the decisions of the Board;
- The statutory audit remains entrusted to an external audit firm, with the same functions and characteristics as the audit required for listed companies.
Following in-depth assessments, the Board of Directors of Italmobiliare considers it appropriate to propose the adoption of the one-tier system for several concurrent reasons. In particular, this model:
- Enables international investors to gain a better understanding of the governance of the Company, as it is the governance system most recognised and widely adopted globally; it corresponds to the model commonly used in Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions (the so-called "one-tier board");

- Prevents information asymmetries, enabling constant synergies between the control function and the management function, thanks to the integration within the Board of the Management Control Committee, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal control system;
- Simplifies the organisational structure, resulting in lower operating costs.
2. Explanation of the By-law amendments required for the adoption of the new administration and control system
As mentioned above, the one-tier system, pursuant to Article 2409-sexiesdecies of the Italian Civil Code, is characterised by the presence of a Board of Directors and a Management Control Committee established within it, to which the control functions are entrusted, without the appointment of a Board of Statutory Auditors, which therefore ceases to exist.
The amendments to the By-laws of Italmobiliare required for the adoption of the new administration and control system are illustrated below.
Introduction of the one-tier system
The adoption of the one-tier system entails the introduction of a new Article 14.
Composition and term of the Board of Directors
It is envisaged that the Company is managed by a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of nine and a maximum of fifteen members, within which a Management Control Committee ("Control Committee") composed of three members is established. The composition of the Board of Directors must comply with the following provisions ("Directors' Requirements"):
- All directors must meet the integrity requirements established by law ("Integrity Requirements"), as well as any additional requirements provided by law, including those related to the shareholdings held by the Company;
- At least the number of directors corresponding to the quota established by law must belong to the less represented gender;
- At least one third of the directors must meet the independence requirements established for statutory auditors under Article 2399, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code (Article 2409-septiesdecies, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code);
- At least the minimum number of directors indicated by the Italian Corporate Governance Code must meet the additional requirements set out by the same Code;
- The three Directors appointed to the Control Committee must meet the requirements provided under the new Article 24 of the By-laws.
Directors' term of office is determined at the time of their appointment but for no more than three financial years. It expires on the date of the General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last year of their term. Directors may be re-elected.
The By-laws also include specific provisions governing situations in which, during the term of office, the number of members of the Board of Directors is changed.
Appointment of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is appointed on the basis of lists designed to ensure the right of the minority shareholders to elect one director, in compliance with the Directors' Requirements. Lists may be submitted by shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, hold a total stake in share capital not lower than that determined under current laws and regulations.
The lists must be drawn up in compliance with the following provisions:
- Lists containing fewer than three candidates must be composed of candidates who meet at least the Integrity Requirements;
DIPLOMATIC BANK OF THE AMERICA
ELECTRONIC CERTIFICATION
DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE EXTRAORDINARY AND ORDINARY MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2026
- Lists containing three or more candidates must be composed of candidates who meet at least the Integrity Requirements and represent both genders, so as to comply with the current regulations on gender balance;
- Lists containing nine or more candidates must be composed of candidates who, as a whole, enable compliance with all the Directors' Requirements.
- In any case, taking office as a member of the Control Committee is subject to meeting the requirements established by law and by the new Article 24 of the By-laws.
In the event more than one list is presented:
- All directors to be elected are elected from the list that has obtained the highest number of votes ("Majority List"), on the basis of the progressive order with which they are listed, up to the number of directors set by the General Meeting, except for one;
- From the list that ranked second by number of votes ("Minority List") and is not connected in any way, even indirectly, with the shareholders who presented and voted the Majority List, the first candidate on that list is elected, provided that the list has obtained a percentage of votes at least equal to half of that required by the By-laws for the submission of lists and indicated in the notice of call, it being understood that, for the purposes of assessing any connection between lists, any non-decisive vote possibly cast in favour of the Minority List by a shareholder linked to the Majority List shall be disregarded;
- If various lists have obtained the same number of votes, a ballot is performed between these lists with the participation of all entitled to vote who are present at the General Meeting, and the Majority List shall be the list that obtains the relative majority of the share capital represented at the General Meeting.
The By-laws also include specific provisions governing situations in which only one list is submitted, or no lists are submitted, or where the number of candidates elected is lower than the minimum required by the By-laws. Additional provisions are also included to ensure that, in all circumstances, the composition of the Board of Directors is suitable to guarantee compliance with the Directors' Requirements and with the rules on gender balance.
Replacement of directors
The By-laws provide for the situation in which, during the year, one or more directors cease to hold office due to resignations or other causes. In such case, their replacement is carried out in accordance with the law, as long as the majority always consists of directors appointed by the General Meeting.
The replacement of directors is carried out in compliance with all the Directors' Requirements, without any obligation to choose from the list from which the outgoing directors were drawn; however, if the director drawn from the Minority List, who has assumed the position of Chairperson of the Control Committee, ceases to hold office, the replacement of that director is made by appointing any remaining candidates from the same list, in progressive order, provided that they meet the Control Committee Requirements (as defined in the By-laws). If no such candidates are available, the General Meeting is called without delay to appoint a new director who assumes the position of Chairperson of the Control Committee, in compliance with the principle of minority representation.
Directors appointed by the Board of Directors through co-optation hold their office until the following General Meeting, which decides with respect to the replacement of directors by absolute majority, in compliance with all the Directors' Requirements, without any obligation to choose based on the list from which the outgoing directors were drawn, except as provided above in the event of termination of the director drawn from the Minority List who has assumed the position of Chairperson of the Control Committee.
Directors appointed by the General Meeting pursuant to the above shall cease office together with those already in office at the time of their appointment.
Management and Control Committee (Control Committee): appointment and composition
The Control Committee consists of three members, appointed by the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the position of Chairperson of the Committee.
CERTIFIED
ITALMOBILIARE
INVESTMENT HOLDING
All members of the Control Committee must meet the requirements of independence, integrity and professionalism prescribed by law and by the applicable regulatory framework ("Control Committee Requirements"). In addition, at least one member of the Control Committee must be a statutory auditor registered in the relevant register.
The director drawn from the Minority List automatically assumes the position of member of the Control Committee and Chairperson thereof, provided that he/she meets the Control Committee Requirements, as also provided under Article 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance for listed companies. If there is no director drawn from the Minority List or if such director does not meet the Control Committee Requirements, the Board of Directors appoints all members of the Control Committee, which elects its Chairperson from among its members by absolute majority.
If a member of the Control Committee loses the qualification of statutory auditor, he/she ceases to hold the position of member of the Control Committee unless there is at least one other member of the Control Committee with such qualification.
If a member of the Control Committee loses the Control Committee Requirements, he/she ceases to hold the position of member of the Control Committee; the provisions of law and of the By-laws also apply with respect to any termination from the office of director.
The additional remuneration for members of the Control Committee is determined by the General Meeting at the time of appointment of the Board of Directors, for the entire term of office, as a fixed amount with an increase for the Chairperson of the Control Committee.
Management and Control Committee: powers and functions
The Control Committee exercises the powers and functions assigned to it by law and by other regulatory provisions applicable to the control body, including those set out in Article 151 of the Consolidated Law on Finance for listed companies. In particular, it monitors the adequacy of the Company's organisational structure, the internal control system and the administrative and accounting system, as well as their ability to correctly represent management facts, and performs the additional tasks entrusted to it by the Board of Directors, with particular regard to relations with the entity appointed to carry out the statutory audit.
Members of the Control Committee, also on their own initiative, may request relevant data and information from the heads of the Company's internal control functions and structures and from the statutory auditor. The Committee coordinates with the Manager in charge of drafting the Company's financial reports and with any internal Board committees for the performance of duties and for the exchange of information of common interest.
The Control Committee may, after giving notice to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, call the General Meeting, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee.
Members of the Control Committee may not participate in the Executive Committee, may not receive delegations or hold special offices and may not perform, even de facto, functions relating to the management of the Company's business or of companies that control or are controlled by the Company.
Consequent amendments to the By-laws
For the reasons set out above, and therefore in order to align the By-laws with the new one-tier administration and control system, the Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders: introduce a new Article 14 (Administration and Control System); amend the current Articles 14, 15 and 16; delete the current Articles 23 to 27 inclusive, relating to the statutory auditors and the Board of Statutory Auditors; and introduce new Articles 24 (Management Control Committee: appointment and composition) and 25 (Management Control Committee: powers and functions). Consequently, the current Articles 11, 19, 22 and 28 – which contain references to the statutory auditors and to the Board of Statutory Auditors – will also be amended.
As a result of the proposed amendments, it will be necessary to renumber the Articles of the By-laws, amend Title IV from "Administration" to "Administration and Control", and delete Title V, which is dedicated to the Board of Statutory Auditors, making the consequent adjustments to the headings of the subsequent Titles.

3. Other proposed amendments to the By-laws
On this occasion, the Board of Directors is also submitting to the shareholders a number of additional amendments to the By-laws.
Object
It is proposed to amend Article 3 in order to incorporate into the By-laws – a fundamental document governing the functioning and organisation of the Company – Italmobiliare’s commitment to pursuing sustainable success through long-term value creation. This amendment clarifies that the instrumental activities are aimed not only at pursuing the corporate objects but also at achieving sustainable success through long-term value creation, reflecting the Company’s established ESG commitment, its evolved approach to sustainability and its integration into corporate strategic priorities. This is evidenced, inter alia, by the establishment within the Board of Directors, since 2020, of a Sustainability and Social Responsibility Committee chaired by the Chief Executive Officer.
The proposed amendment is consistent with Principle 1 of the 2020 Italian Corporate Governance Code to which the Company adheres.
This amendment does not constitute a modification of the Company’s Object that results in a material change in the Company’s business, pursuant to Article 2437, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Italian Civil Code, both because it merely codifies an already established commitment and because it integrates the scope of instrumental activities while leaving the Company’s Object otherwise unchanged.
Duration
It is proposed to amend Article 4 by extending the duration of the Company, currently set at 2050, to 2100.
Attendance and Representation
It is proposed to amend Article 10 so as to allow the notice of call of the General Meeting to provide that participation in the Meeting and the exercise of voting rights may take place exclusively through the Company’s Designated Representative (i.e., the person to whom entitled shareholders may confer a proxy, with voting instructions on the items on the agenda), within the limits and in accordance with the procedures established by law. It is also proposed to allow participation in the General Meeting by means of telecommunication, including exclusively, if and to the extent provided for in the notice of call and in accordance with the procedures established by law.
This amendment aims to ensure flexibility in how the General Meeting may be conducted. That said, the Board of Directors continues to regard an in-person meeting as a privileged opportunity for dialogue with shareholders and investors, as evidenced by the fact that, despite legal provisions allowing a virtual meeting, and except for the years 2020-2022 marked by the pandemic, Italmobiliare has always convened its meetings in person.
Powers
It is proposed to amend Article 18 (recte 19 in the new numbering) to allow the Board of Directors to resolve upon amendments to the By-laws required to comply with regulatory provisions, removing the adjective “mandatory”, which is not required by law.
Meetings of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee
It is proposed to amend Article 20 (recte 21 in the new numbering) to also allow meetings of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee to be held exclusively by means of telecommunication, omitting the indication of a physical venue in the notice of call, in line with recent practice and case law.
Statutory Audit
It is proposed to expressly provide, through the introduction of new Article 26, that the statutory audit is carried out, in accordance with the applicable provisions of law, by an audit firm entered in the relevant register.
CERTIFIED
ITALMOBILIARE
INVESTMENT HOLDING
Reference to Law Provisions
It is proposed to amend Article 33 (recte 32 in the new numbering) to clarify that any reference made in the By-laws to current "laws / regulations / provisions" in force are to be interpreted as referred to the law / regulation / provision in force from time to time, including any applicable regulatory provisions.
4. Withdrawal right
The proposed amendments to the By-laws do not give rise to the right of withdrawal under Article 2437 of the Italian Civil Code for shareholders who do not participate in approving the resolution.
5. Effectiveness of the By-law amendments
In accordance with Article 2380 of the Italian Civil Code, it is proposed that the change to the administration and control system become effective, subject to registration of the resolution in the competent Companies Register, as from the appointment of the Board of Directors to be resolved upon in the Ordinary Session of the same meeting.
Accordingly, following approval of the proposed By-law amendments, the appointment of the Board of Directors (item 3 of the Ordinary Session) will take place in accordance with the new By-law provisions.
Should the proposed amendments not be approved, the appointment of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to the current By-laws will be submitted to a subsequent General Meeting to be convened for that purpose.
For full details of all proposed amendments, reference is made to the comparison table and to the full text of the amended By-laws attached to this Report as Annexes A1 and A2.
All the above being said, if you agree with the foregoing, we invite you to pass the following resolution:
"The Extraordinary General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A., having examined the explanatory report of the Board of Directors,
resolves
- to adopt the one-tier administration and control system pursuant to Articles 2409-sexiesdecies et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, providing for a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 15 directors, 3 of whom shall also be members of the Management Control Committee, and consequently to introduce into the By-laws a new Article 14 (Administration and control system) with the related renumbering of the subsequent Articles; to amend the current Articles 11 (Establishment of the General Meeting and validity of its resolutions), 14 (Composition and term of the Board of Directors), 15 (Appointment of the Board of Directors), 16 (Replacement of directors), 19 (Call of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee), 22 (Information Duties), 28 (Appointments and requirements); to delete the current Articles 23 (Composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors), 24 (Appointment of the Board of statutory auditors), 25 (Replacement of Auditors), 26 (Meetings of the Board of statutory auditors) and 27 (Powers of the Board of statutory auditors); and to introduce new Articles 24 (Control Committee: appointment and composition) and 25 (Control Committee: powers and functions), amending Title IV to 'Administration and Control' and deleting Title V;

2. Allocation of the profit for the year and dividend distribution
Dear Shareholders,
The profit for the year and the Company's financial situation enable us to propose the distribution of a dividend of euro 1.10 per share, gross of the withholdings required by law.
We would like to propose that the dividend be paid on May 6, 2026 (going ex-coupon on May 4, 2026 and with a record date of May 5, 2026).
Taking into account the n. 427,975 treasury shares held at the date of this report, whose right to earnings is attributed proportionately to the other shares in accordance with art. 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, the distribution will come out of the profit for the year for euro 46,279,227.50, allocating the residual amount of euro 9,172,159.77 to retained earnings. Note that these amounts could differ if there is a change in the number of treasury shares in the Company's portfolio on the record date.
We therefore invite you to pass the following resolution:
"The General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A.,
- having examined the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025,
- considering that the legal reserve has reached one fifth of the share capital and consequently no further provisions need be made,
resolves
- to distribute a gross dividend of euro 1.10 to each of the shares with rights, therefore excluding the treasury shares held in the Company's portfolio on the record date, using the profit for the year;
- to establish that the dividend will be paid on May 6, 2026 with a coupon date of May 4, 2026 and a record date of May 5, 2026;
- to allocate the amount of profit remaining after payment of the dividend to retained earnings;
- to authorise the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer pro tempore, separately, if the number of treasury shares in portfolio changes before the record date, to increase the amount of retained earnings by the amount of the dividend pertaining to any shares bought or to reduce it for the amount of the dividend pertaining to any treasury shares sold."

3. Subject to the approval of the By-laws amendments under item 1 of the Extraordinary Meeting, appointment of the Board of Directors:
3.1 Determination of the number of members of the Board of Directors.
3.2 Determination of the term of office of the Board of Directors.
3.3 Appointment of the members of the Board of Directors.
3.4 Determination of the remuneration of the Board of Directors.
Dear Shareholders,
The term of office of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors expires on the approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2025. The General Meeting is therefore called upon to resolve on the renewal of the corporate bodies.
As stated at the beginning of this document, the General Meeting called for April 22, 2026, in extraordinary session, is asked to resolve on certain amendments to the By-laws intended, among other things, to enable the adoption of the so-called "one-tier" administration and control system referred to in Articles 2409-sexiesdecies et seq. of the Italian Civil Code (as supplemented by the provisions applicable to listed companies), with effect from the registration of the relevant resolution in the competent Companies Register; reference should be made to the Board of Directors' report on item 1 of the extraordinary session of the agenda.
The proposed resolution of the Extraordinary Meeting expressly provides that the change to the administration and control system, if approved, will take effect, subject to registration of the resolution in the competent Companies Register, as from the appointment of the Board of Directors provided for under this item on the ordinary session of the agenda.
Accordingly, following approval of the amendments to the By-laws, the General Meeting will resolve on the appointment of the Board of Directors in accordance with the new By-laws provisions, with effect from registration in the Companies Register of the extraordinary resolution; it will not be necessary to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors, which is not contemplated under the one-tier system, where control functions are performed by the Management Control Committee appointed by the Board of Directors from among its members.
If, however, these amendments are not approved, the election of the Board of Directors under this item on the agenda will be postponed to a subsequent General Meeting to appoint the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with the current provisions of the By-laws.
We therefore invite you, on the assumption that the amendments to the By-laws under the extraordinary session are approved, to appoint the new administrative body, after determining the number of members, term of office and remuneration.
We would remind you that, according to the new Article 15 of the By-laws, the Board of Directors is made up of a minimum of nine and a maximum of fifteen members who hold office for a period – determined at the time of appointment by the General Meeting – of not more than three years; the term of office of directors appointed in this way expires on the date of the General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last financial year of their mandate.
The appointment takes place on the basis of lists designed to ensure the right of minority shareholders to elect one director, in compliance with the requirements laid down by law and by the By-laws.
Lists may be presented by shareholders who, alone or together with other shareholders, can document on the day the slates are deposited with the Company that, overall, they hold an interest in the share capital with voting rights of not less than 1%, as established by Consob Resolution no. 155 of January 27, 2026.

DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE EXTRAORDINARY AND ORDINARY MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2026
The composition of the Board of Directors must comply with the following provisions ("Directors' Requirements"):
- All directors must meet the integrity requirements laid down by law ("Integrity Requirements"), as well as any additional requirements established by law, including those related to the shareholdings held by the Company;
- At least the number of directors corresponding to the quota established by law must belong to the less represented gender;
- At least one-third of the directors must meet the independence requirements laid down for statutory auditors by Article 2399, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code (Article 2409-septiesdecies, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code);
- A number of directors at least equal to the minimum required must satisfy the independence requirements established by the Italian Corporate Governance Code to which the Company adheres. It should be noted that the Code recommends that, in "large" companies with "dispersed ownership", such as Italmobiliare, independent directors under the Code should account for at least half of the Board of Directors;
- The three directors appointed to the Management Control Committee must satisfy the independence, integrity and professional requirements prescribed by law and by the applicable legislative and regulatory provisions in force from time to time ("Control Committee Requirements"). In addition, at least one member of the Management Control Committee must be a statutory auditor registered in the relevant register.
As regards directors' requirements, it should be noted that, through Clessidra Holding S.p.A., Italmobiliare holds indirectly 100% of two asset management companies (Clessidra Private Equity SGR S.p.A. and Clessidra Capital Credit SGR S.p.A.) and a factoring company (Clessidra Factoring S.p.A.), and directly a 24.9% stake in an insurance company (Bene Assicurazioni S.p.A. Società Benefit). Candidates as directors must therefore satisfy the suitability requirements specifically required of corporate representatives of legal persons who hold qualified shareholdings in financial and insurance companies (in particular, in terms of integrity, fairness and professional competence).
Candidates as directors should also comply with the rules that prohibit interlocking directorships (Article 36 of Legislative Decree 201/2011).
It should also be noted that, without prejudice to the statutory requirements applicable to members of the Management Control Committee, as recommended by the Italian Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has set the maximum number of offices that a Director can hold at four in companies listed on regulated markets, in Italy or abroad, including their office in Italmobiliare S.p.A. with the exclusion of companies of the Italmobiliare Group, which can be considered compatible with effective performance of the office of Director of Italmobiliare.
The lists must be drawn up in compliance with the following provisions:
- Lists with fewer than three candidates must be composed of candidates who meet at least the Integrity Requirements;
- Lists with three or more candidates must be composed of candidates who meet at least the Integrity Requirements and include candidates of both genders, in compliance with the current regulations on gender balance;
- Lists with nine or more candidates must be composed of candidates who, as a whole, enable compliance with all the Directors' Requirements;
- In any case, appointment as a member of the Management Control Committee is subject to meeting the requirements laid down by law and by the new Article 24 of the By-laws proposed for adoption at the Extraordinary Meeting.
The lists must be filed at the Company's registered offices (Via Borgonuovo 20, 20121 Milan – Corporate Affairs Department) or sent to the certified email address [email protected] at least 25 days prior to the date set for the General Meeting (i.e., by Saturday, March 28, 2026), together with the following documentation:

The certification or statement proving ownership of the shareholding prescribed by the law in force when the list is presented may also be produced after filing the list, providing that it reaches the Company before the deadline laid down in the current regulations on the publication of lists by the Company.
If a list does not comply with the above requirements, it is invalid and ineffective and will be considered as though not presented.
Shareholders wishing to submit lists are invited to review the Regulations governing the Board of Directors, available on the Company's website, www.italmobiliare.it, in the Governance/Board of Directors section, for matters regarding independence laid down in Article 4.1; to review the guidance issued by the Board of Directors on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board of Directors due to be appointed, published on March 5, 2026 and available on the Company's website, www.italmobiliare.it in the Governance/Shareholders' Meeting section (https://www.italmobiliare.it/en/governance/shareholders-meeting); and to read the recommendations contained in CONSOB Communication DEM/9017893 of February 26, 2009.
Mechanism for appointing the Board of Directors based on list voting
In the event of more than one list being filed:
-
From the list that obtains the highest number of votes ("Majority List"), all the directors are elected in the order in which they are listed, up to the number of directors determined by the General Meeting, except for one;
-
From the list that obtains the second highest number of votes ("Minority List") and is not connected in any way, directly or indirectly, with the shareholders who submitted and voted for the Majority List, the first candidate on that list is elected, provided that the list has obtained a percentage of votes at least equal to half of that required by the By-laws for the submission of lists. It is understood that any non-determinative vote cast in favour of the Minority List by a shareholder connected to the Majority List is not relevant for the purposes of establishing a connection between lists;
-
Should more than one list obtain the same number of votes, a run-off vote is held among these lists by all the shareholders entitled to vote present at the General Meeting, with the list that obtains a relative majority of the share capital represented at the Meeting being deemed the Majority List.
Should a single list be filed, all the candidates included in that list are elected with a simple majority vote of the share capital represented at the General Meeting.
If, as a result of the voting based on lists or the voting on the only list presented, the composition of the Board of Directors does not ensure compliance with the Directors' Requirements, the necessary replacements will be carried out within the Majority List, or within the only list presented, starting from the candidate in the last place of the list in question. Subsequently, if compliance with the Directors' Requirements is still not ensured, there will be similar replacements, again within the Majority List, or within the only list presented.

CERTIFIED
If this is not possible or is insufficient to ensure compliance with the Directors’ Requirements, the replacement will be carried out by resolution of the General Meeting passed by a relative majority, following the submission of candidacies of individuals who meet the aforementioned requirements.
In the absence of lists, or whenever by means of the list voting mechanism, the number of candidates elected is lower than the minimum number envisaged by the By-laws, the Board of Directors is respectively appointed or supplemented by the General Meeting with the legal majority, providing that compliance with all the Directors’ Requirements is ensured.
The Chairperson of the Board of Directors will be appointed according to the By-laws.
With regard to the number of members, the Board of Directors, also in light of the considerations fully reported in the aforementioned guidance on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board due to be appointed, to which reference should be made, in light of operational experience and to allow for the establishment of the Committees required by law and recommended by the Corporate Governance Code, proposes to set the number of directors to be elected at 12.
As regards the term of office, the Board of Directors, in order to ensure stability in the management of the Company, proposes that the term of office of the directors to be appointed is set at three financial years (2026-2028), expiring on the date of the General Meeting called to approve the financial statements at December 31, 2028.
As regards directors’ remuneration, based on the results of a benchmark analysis, the Board of Directors deems it appropriate to set an annual base fee of euro 45,000 for each director, an additional annual fee of euro 40,000 for the Chairperson of the Management Control Committee, an additional annual fee of euro 25,000 for each other member of the Management Control Committee, and an attendance fee of euro 3,000 for each participation in other Board committees that may be established. It should be noted that, should the Board of Directors decide that the functions of the Control and Risk Committee are performed by the Management Control Committee, the fees for the members of the latter for performing such functions are increased by euro 10,000 per member, with no payment of the attendance fee.
That said, the Board of Directors invites the General Meeting, on the basis of the lists that will be presented or, in the absence of lists, based on the proposals formulated during the General Meeting:
as regards item 3.1 on the agenda, to adopt the following resolution:
“The General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A.

-
Subject to the approval of the By-laws amendments under item 1 of the Extraordinary Meeting, remuneration policy for the financial year 2026, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
-
Consultation on the compensation paid in the financial year 2025, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
Dear Shareholders,
We submit the "Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid" ("Report") pursuant to art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance ("CLF") and by art. 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation.
The Report is made up of two sections:
- The first section explains the policy that the Company intends to adopt in relation to the remuneration of directors, general managers, key management personnel, and members of the Control Committee for 2026 and is subject to the binding vote of the General Meeting. The policy has been drawn up on the assumption that the General Meeting, convened in extraordinary session, will approve the proposed amendments to the By-laws, which are intended, among other things, to enable the adoption of the so-called "one-tier" administration and control system referred to in Articles 2409-sexiesdecies et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, together with the other proposed amendments. This policy therefore differs from the remuneration policy approved by the Ordinary Meeting of the Company on April 17, 2025, in order to take account of the new statutory provisions and the new governance structure inherent in the one-tier system.
If the amendments to the By-laws are not approved, the appointment of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors under the current By-laws will be submitted to a subsequent General Meeting, at which a new remuneration policy will be presented. Until then, the Company will pay remuneration in accordance with the most recently approved remuneration policy.
- The second section explains the compensation paid to the persons concerned during 2025, when the "traditional" administration and control system was in place, and is subject to the advisory vote of the General Meeting.
Italmobiliare's remuneration policy for 2026 envisages that the components of remuneration of the CEO, the General Manager if appointed, and the key management personnel are as follows:
a) a fixed annual component;
b) an annual variable component linked to the achievement of specific corporate objectives (Management By Objectives);
c) a medium/long-term variable component (LTI) linked to the achievement of specific corporate objectives and the performance of Italmobiliare's stock. In this regard, it should be remembered that the "Italmobiliare 2023-2025 Phantom Stock Grant Plan" expired at the end of the 2025 financial year. The Board of Directors therefore submits for your approval at this General Meeting, under item 6 on the agenda, a new long-term incentive plan, the "Italmobiliare 2026-2028 Phantom Stock Grant Plan". The Plan provides for the assignment of a specific number of rights to receive phantom stocks linked to the value of Italmobiliare's shares at the end of the three-year vesting period, depending on the achievement of the following performance objectives: Net Asset Value per share, with an 80% weight in determining the bonus; ESG performance, as assessed by the main specialist rating agencies, with a 20% weight in determining the bonus;

d) Value Creation Sharing Incentive (a medium/long-term non-recurring variable bonus) aimed at rewarding management's contribution to the creation of value in relation to investment management; in fact, the incentive recognises a monetary bonus directly related to the capital gains generated by exit deals.
The compensation paid in 2025 to the persons concerned is reported in the second section of the Report and is consistent with the remuneration policy presented at the last General Meeting, when 95.74% of the shares represented (70.72% of share capital) voted in favour.
Within the scope of the prerogatives granted by the 2025 Policy and in compliance with governance and control measures, the Company has availed itself of the possibility of granting severance pay to the Chairman in derogation from the 2025 Policy. In accordance with the provisions of the Policy and in compliance with the procedures laid down, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and the Related Party Transactions Committee have expressed their opinions.
For further details, please refer to the "Report on the Remuneration Policy for 2026 and Compensation Paid in 2025" prepared by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, which will be made available to the public as required by law.
With reference to the first section of the Report (remuneration policy), point 4 on the agenda, we invite you to approve the following resolution:
"The General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A.
resolves
- to approve the first section of the Report on the Remuneration Policy for the year 2026, which explains the remuneration policy of directors, members of the Control Committee, general managers and key management personnel of Italmobiliare S.p.A., as well as the procedures used for the adoption and implementation of this policy."
With reference to the second section of the Report, point 5 on the agenda, which includes the compensation paid in 2025, we invite you to approve the following resolution:
"The General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A.

- in favour of the second section of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid which explains the remuneration paid in 2025 to Directors, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and key management personnel."

6. Subject to the approval of the By-laws amendments under item 1 of the Extraordinary Meeting, adoption of a Long-Term Incentive Plan based on financial instruments pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance
Dear Shareholders,
With the approval of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the “Italmobiliare 2023-2025 Phantom Stock Grant Plan”, approved by the General Meeting in 2023, will expire. In line with the remuneration policy proposed above for your approval, the Board of Directors therefore resolved to submit to you, subject to the approval of the amendments to the By-laws referred to in item 1 of the extraordinary session, the adoption of a new Long-Term Incentive Plan called “Italmobiliare 2026-2028 Phantom Stock Grant Plan” (“Plan”). The Plan was drawn up on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, made up entirely of non-executive and independent directors, as an incentive and management loyalty tool.
As with the previous plan, the Plan is designed to:
- focus management and key resources on medium/long-term strategic success factors, ensuring full alignment of the interests of management and those of shareholders;
- ensure a high level of attraction and retention of key resources;
- establish a long-term incentive system capable of creating a strong link between remuneration, corporate results achieved and value creation for shareholders.
The Plan is reserved for the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager (if appointed), key management personnel of the Company and other managers selected by the Board of Directors and/or by the Chief Executive Officer.
The Plan provides for the assignment of a specific number of rights to receive “Phantom Stock” linked to the value of Italmobiliare’s shares at the end of the three-year vesting period, depending on the achievement of the following performance objectives: Net Asset Value per share, with an 80% in determining the bonus; ESG performance, as assessed by the main specialist rating agencies (CDP, Sustainalytics, S&P), with a 20% weight in determining the bonus.
A detailed description of the purpose and characteristics of the Plan is contained in the Information Document (“Information Document”), prepared pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 84-bis of the Issuers’ Regulation, made available as Annex B to this report and to which reference is made.
Dear Shareholders,
We invite you to pass the following resolutions:
“The General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A.
resolves
- to approve, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the adoption of the incentive plan called “Italmobiliare 2026–2028 Phantom Stock Grant Plan”, having the characteristics indicated in the Information Document on the Plan;

7. Authorisation to buy and sell treasury shares, subject to revocation of the authorisation given by the Ordinary Meeting held on April 17, 2025 for the portion not executed.
Dear Shareholders,
The Ordinary Meeting held on April 17, 2025, approved the authorisation to buy and sell treasury shares, which was valid for a period of eighteen months from the date of the resolution.
The Company bought 210,905 treasury shares based on this authorisation. At the date of this report, the Company holds 427,975 no-par ordinary shares.
As the authorisation expires on October 17, 2026, to allow the Company to retain the right to buy and sell treasury shares, we propose that you renew: (i) the authorisation to buy treasury shares, pursuant to Article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 132 of the CLF and related implementing provisions, and (ii) the authorisation to sell treasury shares pursuant to Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, according to the terms and methods described below, following revocation of the authorisation granted by the Ordinary Meeting held on April 17, 2025 for the portion not executed.
7.1 The reasons why authorisation to buy and sell treasury shares is required
The purchase of treasury shares, for which authorisation is requested here, will have the usual purposes as also governed by law, and may therefore be aimed, among others, at setting up a portfolio of securities that could be used:
(i) to replace or supplement financial resources for the completion of any extraordinary financial transactions, such as share swaps or potential acquisitions; or
(ii) to implement compensation plans based on financial instruments that could be approved in the future ("Plans").
Bearing this in mind, the treasury shares purchased may be, inter alia:
- used as consideration or in exchange for, or in any case for the purpose of executing, extraordinary transactions, such as the acquisition of shareholdings or other capital or financing transactions;
- sold (through the sale, exchange, assignment or any other deed or trade) on the market or in blocks, for the purposes, with the methods and conditions that – in accordance with the authorisation granted by the General Meeting – may from time to time be established by the Board of Directors;
- assigned or transferred to Company employees who are beneficiaries of Plans that may be approved in the future.
Note that the request for authorisation to buy treasury shares is not aimed at the automatic reduction of the share capital by cancelling treasury shares. However, it cannot be ruled out that in the future treasury shares held may be cancelled, in accordance with decisions to be made by the competent corporate bodies.
7.2 Maximum number, category and par value of the shares to which the authorisation to buy refers. Information for a complete assessment of compliance with Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code
At the date of this report, (i) the subscribed and paid-up share capital of Italmobiliare is euro 100,166,937, represented by 42,500,000 no-par ordinary shares; (ii) the Company holds 427,975 treasury shares directly, which represent 1.007% of the shares making up the share capital and which were purchased on the basis of the previous authorisations given by the Ordinary Meeting; and (iii) no subsidiary company holds Italmobiliare shares.
This proposed authorisation concerns the purchase of a maximum of 1,000,000 of the Company's no-par ordinary shares, representing 2.353% of the shares currently making up the share capital.
The proposal is therefore to grant a mandate to the Board of Directors and, on its behalf, to the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer, separately from each other, to identify the amount of ordinary shares to be bought in relation to each of
CERTIFIED
the purposes indicated in the paragraph above, prior to the start of each individual purchase programme, in accordance with the maximum limit indicated above.
In any case, the number of Italmobiliare ordinary shares held from time to time in the portfolio of Italmobiliare and its subsidiaries will be within the maximum limit established by current law.
To ensure compliance with the legal limits, suitable procedures will in any case be prepared to guarantee timely and complete disclosure of the shares held by the subsidiaries.
The purchase of treasury shares has to take place within the limits of the distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the latest (annual or interim) financial statements approved at the time of the purchase. The proposal is therefore to authorise the purchase of treasury shares up to a maximum outlay of euro 35,000,000 which is covered by net reserves currently available.
When treasury shares are bought, the necessary accounting entries will be made in compliance with the law and applicable accounting standards.
7.3 Period for which the authorisation to buy is requested
The authorisation to buy treasury shares is requested for the maximum period established by the applicable regulations, currently set by Article 2357, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code at 18 (eighteen) months from the date of the shareholders' resolution granting authorisation.
7.4 Minimum and maximum consideration for the purchase of treasury shares and market valuations on the basis of which it was calculated
The proposal is that purchases may take place – in compliance with the conditions established in Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, and the additional applicable rules – at a unit price not exceeding the highest price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the current highest independent purchase offer on the electronic stock exchange organised and managed by Borsa Italiana (Euronext STAR Milan), it being understood that the consideration cannot in any case be lower in the minimum and higher in the maximum by 15% (fifteen percent) with respect to the reference price that the Italmobiliare stock recorded in the stock market session of the day preceding each transaction.
7.5 Methods through which purchases will be made
If authorised by the Ordinary Meeting, the Company will be able to buy treasury shares in one or more tranches.
Purchases will be made on the Euronext STAR Milan in compliance with Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letters b) and d-ter) of the regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 11971 of May 14, 1999, as subsequently amended and supplemented ("Issuers Regulation"), and of the provisions that are in any case applicable, so as to comply with the principle of equal treatment of shareholders, as required by Article 132 of the CLF, and therefore (i) on regulated markets, according to the operating procedures established in the organisation and management regulations of Borsa Italiana, which do not allow direct matching of purchase proposals with predetermined sale proposals, or (ii) with the methods established by market practices allowed by CONSOB pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 in force from time to time. In any case, purchases will be made in compliance with the guidelines issued by CONSOB and further provisions of the law and regulations applicable to this type of transaction.
If deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, and on its behalf by the Chairperson or the Chief Executive Officer, separately from each other, the purchase of treasury shares can take place in ways that are different from those indicated above, providing this is permitted and/or in compliance with the legislative and regulatory provisions in force from time to time, taking into account the need to comply in any case with the principle of equal treatment of shareholders.

7.6 Authorisation to dispose of treasury shares
Pursuant to Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Directors also proposes to the Ordinary Meeting to authorise the use, at any time, in whole or in part, in one or more tranches, of the treasury shares that will be purchased in execution of the shareholders' authorisation requested herein, as well as the treasury shares previously purchased in execution of previous resolutions, according to the terms and conditions that will be established from time to time by the Board of Directors, and on its behalf by the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer, separately from each other, in accordance with the purposes and criteria illustrated above, it being understood that the unit selling price (or, in any case, the unit value set for the sale) cannot in any case be lower than the average carrying price of the shares bought under the authorisation. This price limit will not be applicable if the sale of shares takes place within the ambit of share incentive plans. If the shares are used in the context of extraordinary transactions, such as transactions involving – by way of example and not limited to – the exchange, swapping or contribution of shares or to service increases in capital or other corporate or financial transactions or other transactions of an extraordinary nature or, in any case, for any other non-cash disposition, the economic terms of the transaction will be determined by the Board of Directors based on the nature and characteristics of the transaction, also taking into account the market trend of the Italmobiliare stock.
The Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation of sales should allow the adoption of any method that is appropriate for the purposes pursued, to be carried out both directly and through intermediaries, in compliance with the provisions of the law and national and EU regulations in force in the matter.
Disposals of treasury shares for which authorisation is requested will be carried out in compliance with the applicable legislation and, in particular, with national and EU laws and regulations, also in relation to market abuse.
Adequate communication will be provided on the disposal of treasury shares in compliance with the applicable disclosure obligations.
On the occasion of disposals of treasury shares, the necessary accounting entries will be made in compliance with the provisions of law and applicable accounting standards.
7.7 Period for which authorisation for the disposal of treasury shares is requested
Authorisation for the disposal of treasury shares is requested without any time limit.
We therefore invite you to pass the following resolution:
"The General Meeting of Italmobiliare S.p.A.,
resolves
- to revoke the shareholders' resolution authorising the purchase and disposal of treasury shares passed on April 17, 2025 for the portion not executed;
- to authorise, pursuant to Articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code and Article 132 of the CLF, the purchase of maximum 1,000,000 Italmobiliare ordinary shares, without prejudice in any case to compliance with the maximum limit of Italmobiliare shares held from time to time in the portfolio of Italmobiliare and its subsidiaries established by current applicable law, also to be carried out fractionally within the term of 18 (eighteen) months following the date of passing this shareholders' resolution, with the specification that: (a) purchases will be made – in compliance with the conditions established in Article 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, and other applicable rules – at a unit price not exceeding the highest price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the current highest independent purchase offer on the Euronext STAR Milan, it being understood that this consideration may not in any case be lower in the minimum and higher in the maximum by 15% (fifteen percent) with respect to the reference price that the Italmobiliare share recorded in the stock market session of the day preceding each transaction; (b) the Company can use up to a maximum of euro 35,000,000 to purchase treasury shares, to be withdrawn from net available reserves as shown in the financial statements; (c) purchases will be made on the Euronext

This price limit will not be applicable if the sale of shares takes place within the ambit of share incentive plans. If the shares are used in the context of extraordinary transactions, such as transactions involving – by way of example and not limited to – the exchange, swapping or contribution of shares or to service increases in capital or other corporate or financial transactions or other transactions of an extraordinary nature or, in any case, for any other non-cash disposition, the economic terms of the transaction will be determined by the Board of Directors based on the nature and characteristics of the transaction, also taking into account the market trend of the Italmobiliare stock;

Any list submitted in violation of any provision of this Article is invalid and ineffective and is considered as not being submitted.
In the event more than one list is presented:
- all directors to be elected are elected from the list that has obtained the highest number of votes (the "Majority List"), on the basis of the progressive order with which they are listed, up to the number of directors set by the General Meeting, except for one;
- from the list that ranked second by number of votes (the "Minority List") and is not connected in any way, even indirectly, with the shareholders who presented and voted the Majority List, the first candidate on that list is elected, provided that the list has obtained a percentage of votes at least equal to half of that required by the By-laws for the submission of lists and indicated in the notice of call, it being understood that, for the purposes of assessing any connection between lists, any non-decisive vote possibly cast in favour of the Minority List by a shareholder linked to the Majority List shall be disregarded;
- if various lists have obtained the same number of votes, a ballot is performed between these lists with the participation of all entitled to vote who are present at the General Meeting, and the Majority List shall be the list that obtains the relative majority of the share capital represented at the General Meeting.
In the event only one list is presented, all the candidates included in that list are elected, with a relative majority vote of the share capital represented at the General Meeting.
If by means of the mechanism of the list vote or further to the poll on the single list filed, the composition of the Board of Directors does not ensure compliance with the Directors' Requirements, the necessary replacements shall be performed by choosing within the Majority List or within the sole list submitted, starting from the last candidate of the captioned list. Subsequently, if compliance with the Directors' Requirements is still not ensured, similar replacements shall be made, again within the Majority List or within the sole list submitted.
If this is not possible or in any case sufficient to ensure compliance with the Directors' Requirements, the replacement is made by resolution of the General Meeting passed by relative majority, following the submission of candidacies of persons meeting the aforesaid requirements.
If there are no lists, or if, through the list voting mechanism, the number of elected candidates is lower than the minimum number envisaged by the By-laws, the Board of Directors is appointed or supplemented by the General Meeting with the legal majority, as long as all the Directors' Requirements are ensured.
Any elected director who, during their term of office, ceases to meet the Integrity Requirements shall forfeit their position.
If the requirements of independence prescribed by law or by these By-laws are no longer held, the director concerned must immediately inform the Board of Directors, implying the director's forfeiture of office, except when such requirements of independence are still held by at least the minimum number of directors envisaged by current laws and these By-laws.

If no such candidates are available, the General Meeting is called without delay to appoint a new director who assumes the position of Chairman of the Control Committee, in compliance with the principle of minority representation.
Directors appointed by the Board of Directors through co-optation hold their office until the following General Meeting, which decides with respect to the replacement of directors by absolute majority, in compliance with all the Directors’ Requirements, without any obligation to choose based on the list from which the outgoing directors were drawn, except as provided above in the event of termination of the director drawn from the Minority List who has assumed the position of Chairman of the Control Committee.

2. REASONS FOR ADOPTING THE PLAN
2.1. Objectives to be achieved through the attribution of the plans
The Plan is designed to promote the retention of management by making the bonus provided under the Plan conditional upon continuation of the working relationship with the Company (or with a Group company), as well as to ensure alignment between the creation of value for shareholders and for managers who perform key functions in achieving strategically relevant results.
In particular, the Plan intends to pursue the following objectives:
- to focus the attention of management and key resources on medium- to long-term strategic success factors, ensuring full alignment of management's interests with those of shareholders;
- to ensure a high level of attraction and retention of key resources;
- to activate a long-term incentive system capable of creating a strong link between remuneration, the results achieved and value creation for shareholders.
The Plan has a medium- to long-term time horizon, with a duration of three years. This period was deemed the most suitable for pursuing the incentive objectives set and, in particular, for focusing the Beneficiaries' attention on the Group's medium- to long-term strategic success factors.
2.2. Key variables, including the performance indicators considered for the attribution of plans based on financial instruments
The Plan provides for the Assignment of a specific number of Rights to receive Phantom Stock linked to the value of the Share at the end of the Performance Period, provided that the Performance Objectives to which the Plan is linked have been achieved.
The final Bonus therefore depends on:
- the number of accrued Phantom Stock (based on Group performance);
- the value of the Share, based on stock market performance.
Each Beneficiary will be assigned a certain number of Phantom Stock as communicated in the Letter of Assignment.
At the end of the Performance Period, a certain number of the Phantom Stock assigned will be attributed to the Beneficiaries on the basis of the results achieved in the previous three years and with reference to the following Performance Objectives:
- Net Asset Value per Share recorded at the end of the Performance Period compared with the Net Asset Value per Share target approved by the Board of Directors, with an 80% weighting in determining the Bonus;
- ESG performance, with a 20% weighting in determining the Bonus.
The Phantom Stock attributed will therefore be "converted" immediately into a Cash Bonus. The cash value will be determined by taking as reference the average closing price of the Italmobiliare's Share in the last ninety days prior to the closing date of the last financial year of the Performance Period.
2.3. Elements underlying the determination of the amount of remuneration based on financial instruments, i.e. the criteria for its determination
The target value of the Assignment corresponds to a percentage of the Beneficiary's fixed remuneration or fixed emolument, defined in relation to the responsibilities assigned to the role and based on market practice. The amount of the incentives assigned at target to each Beneficiary varies according to the level of responsibility and criticality of the position.

DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE EXTRAORDINARY AND ORDINARY MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2026
After the end of the Performance Period and based on the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, the Board of Directors will verify the level of achievement of the Performance Objectives, thereby determining the number of Phantom Stock and the Bonus to be attributed to each Beneficiary.
Overall performance is measured according to the following incentive curve:
- on reaching a minimum level of performance, a number of Phantom Stock equal to 66% of the Phantom Stock assigned will be attributed. This number may be increased as a result of Phantom Stock attributed as Dividend Equivalents. No Phantom Stock will be attributed below this minimum level.
- on reaching the target performance level (100%), a number of Phantom Stock equivalent to the number of Phantom Stock assigned (100%) will be attributed. This number may be increased as a result of Phantom Stock attributed as Dividend Equivalents.
- on reaching a maximum level of performance, a number of Phantom Stock equal to 167% of the Phantom Stock assigned will be attributed. This number may be increased as a result of Phantom Stock attributed as Dividend Equivalents. No additional Phantom Stock will be attributed on exceeding this cap.
With reference to the Net Asset Value indicator, for intermediate performance between the minimum level and the target and between the target and the maximum, a linear interpolation method will be applied.
ESG Performance is measured on a scale ranging from 1 to 5, considering both the number of ratings that have improved and the improvement in the assessment: the minimum performance level corresponds to 2; the target level corresponds to 3; the maximum level corresponds to 5.
Verification of the achievement of the Performance Objectives of the Plan, for the purpose of determining the number of Phantom Stock to be attributed, will be carried out by the Board of Directors on the basis of the indications provided by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, at the meeting convened to approve the draft financial statements at December 31, 2028.
The amount of the Bonus thus determined may in no case exceed a maximum amount equal to three times the Total Remuneration of each Beneficiary.
2.4. Reasons underlying any decision to attribute compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries or parent companies of third parties with respect to the group to which they belong; if such instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to determine their attributable value
Not applicable.
2.5. Assessments regarding significant accounting and tax implications that have affected definition of the Plan
No significant tax or accounting assessments affected preparation of the Plan. In particular, in relation to the disbursement of the Bonus, the applicable tax system in force in the tax residence country of each Beneficiary will be taken into consideration.
2.6. Possible support of the Plan by the Special Fund to encourage worker participation in companies, as per Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law 350 dated December 24, 2003
The Plan does not receive support from the Special Fund to encourage worker participation in companies, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law No. 350 dated December 24, 2003.

3. APPROVAL PROCESS AND TIMING FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE INSTRUMENTS
3.1. Scope of the powers and functions delegated by the Shareholders' Meeting to the Board of Directors for the purpose of implementing the Plan
On March 5, 2026, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, the Board of Directors resolved to submit the approval of the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting convened for April 22, 2026.
The Shareholders' Meeting will be asked to grant the Board (on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee), with the power to sub-delegate, all powers that may be necessary or appropriate for the implementation of the Plan, to be exercised in compliance with the principles established by the Shareholders' Meeting, as illustrated in this Information Document and, in particular, by way of example and without limitation, to provide – where required, also having consulted the Remuneration and Nominations Committee – to (i) approve and/or amend and/or supplement the Plan Regulation; (ii) identify the Beneficiaries; (iii) determination of the amount of the incentive to be attributed to each Beneficiary; (iv) carry out any act, fulfilment, formality or communication that may be necessary or appropriate for the management and/or implementation of the Plan, in compliance with the terms and conditions described in this Information Document. It is understood that the adoption of the Plan Regulation, and any amendment and/or supplement thereto, shall in any case fall within the competence of the Board of Directors.
The resolutions through which the Board of Directors implements the Plan, and the content of such resolutions, will be disclosed in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulation, or otherwise in compliance with the laws and regulations in force from time to time.
3.2. Persons in charge of administrating the Plan
The bodies responsible for managing the Plan are the Board of Directors and the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, which will make use, at a technical and operational level, of the Human Resources Department and, where necessary, the support of other corporate functions for the activities within their remit.
3.3. Any existing procedures for revising of the Plan, also in relation to possible changes in the underlying objectives
In order to keep the essential contents of the Plan as unchanged as possible, the Board of Directors – after obtaining the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee – shall regulate any rights that arise and/or amend and/or supplement the conditions for the Attribution of the Phantom Stock in the event of certain transactions, including, by way of example, the splitting or regrouping of the Share.
In the event of a Change of Control or of a discontinuity in the market trend of the Company's Share price (e.g., following an increase in capital or a delisting), the Rights assigned to the Beneficiaries will not be affected.
Having obtained the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, the Board, at its sole discretion, will also have the right to adjust the Performance Objectives so as to ensure, in the interest of the Beneficiaries, a situation that is substantially fair compared with the one previously existing, should extraordinary and/or unforeseeable events or circumstances arise that could significantly affect the results and/or the scope of the Group or, more generally, the parameters underlying the Performance Objectives. This shall be solely for the purpose of preserving the aim of the Plan: maintaining constant alignment between corporate objectives and the objectives underlying the Beneficiaries' incentive systems.
The Board can make any amendments it deems appropriate to the Plan, at its sole discretion, in order to align the Plan with laws and regulations, or to correct any inconsistencies, defects or omissions in the Regulation and/or the Plan.

3.4. DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODS BY WHICH THE AVAILABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ON WHICH THE PLANS ARE BASED ARE DETERMINED (E.G. FREE ASSIGNMENT OF SHARES, CAPITAL INCREASES WITH EXCLUSION OF OPTION RIGHTS, PURCHASE AND SALE OF TREASURY SHARES)
Being a Phantom Stock plan, the Plan does not provide for the assignment or purchase of shares by the Company. Instead, implementation of the Plan provides for the Attribution to the Beneficiaries of Rights which, under the terms and conditions set out in the Regulation, give the Beneficiary the right to receive the Bonus.
3.5. Role played by each director in determining the characteristics of the plans; any situations of conflicts of interest for the directors concerned
The Remuneration and Nominations Committee, consisting of non-executive and independent directors pursuant to Articles 147-ter, paragraph 4 and 148, paragraph 3, of the CLF, and pursuant to Article 2 of the Corporate Governance Code, was involved in identifying the essential elements of the Plan at the various stages of its preparation.
3.6. For the purposes of Article 84-bis, paragraph 1, the date of the decision taken by the body entitled to propose approval of the plans to the Shareholders' Meeting and any proposal by the Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration and Nominations Committee expressed a favourable opinion on the proposal for approval of the Plan by the Company's Board of Directors at the meeting held on February 27, 2026.
The Board of Directors approved the Plan, with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, at the meeting held on March 5, 2026, and proposed to submit it for approval by the Shareholders' Meeting convened in a single call on April 22, 2026.
3.7. For the purposes of Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), the date of the decision taken by the body in charge of assigning the instruments and any proposal to the above-mentioned body formulated by the Remuneration Committee
The Rights envisaged in the Plan will be assigned to the Beneficiaries by the Board of Directors — after approval of the Plan by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, convened, in a single call, on April 22, 2026. For Executive Directors and Key Management Personnel, the prior opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee will be obtained.
The date of the decision taken by the Board of Directors regarding the Attribution of the Phantom Stock and the date of any proposal to the Board of Directors by the Remuneration Committee are not available at the time of drafting this Information Document; they will therefore be communicated subsequently pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of CONSOB's Issuers' Regulations.
3.8. Market price, recorded on the aforementioned dates, for the financial instruments on which the Plan is based, if traded on regulated markets
The price of the Share at the time of Assignment of the Rights by the Board of Directors will be disclosed pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, of CONSOB's Issuers' Regulations.

3.9. In the case of plans based on regulated financial instruments, in what terms and in what ways does the issuer take into account, when identifying the timing of the assignment of the instruments in implementation of the plans, the possible coincidence between:
i. such assignment, or any decisions taken in this regard by the Remuneration Committee, and
ii. the dissemination of important information pursuant to Article 114, paragraph 1. For example, where such information is:
a. not yet public and likely to positively influence market prices, or
b. already published and likely to negatively influence market prices.
Any disclosure of inside information at the time of the Assignment of the Rights would be irrelevant for the Beneficiaries who, on the basis of the mechanism of the Plan – which provides for the Attribution of Phantom Stock – cannot carry out any transactions in the Shares, as no material attribution of them occurs.
4. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INSTRUMENTS ATTRIBUTED
4.1. The ways in which the compensation plans based on financial instruments are structured
The Plan consists of the Assignment to each Beneficiary of Rights to receive Phantom Stock, under the terms and conditions set out in the Regulation and in the Letter of Assignment. The number of Phantom Stock to be attributed to the Beneficiaries is subject to the achievement of the Performance Objectives, based on the criteria described in paragraph 2.2 above.
Phantom Stock are attributed at the end of the Performance Period and then converted into a Cash Bonus based on the criteria described in paragraph 2.2 above.
Given the direct link between the Bonus and the value of the Share, at the end of the vesting period Management will be assigned an additional number of Phantom Stock, equal to the value of the dividends paid during the Performance Period (the so-called "Dividend Equivalent"), in order to mitigate the negative impact on the right assigned to Management.
4.2. Indication of the period of effective implementation of the Plan, also with reference to any different cycles envisaged
The Plan envisages a single Assignment cycle.
Phantom Stock will be attributed to the Beneficiaries in the year following the end of the Performance Period and immediately converted into cash according to the provisions of paragraph 2.3 above.
4.3. Termination of the Plan
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2.3 regarding the verification by the Board of Directors of the achievement of the Plan's Performance Objectives, the Plan will end with the payment of the Bonus and, in any case, no later than the approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2028 by the Shareholders' Meeting.
4.4. The maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, assigned in each fiscal year to the individuals identified by name or to the categories indicated
DIIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE EXTRAORDINARY AND ORDINARY MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2026
CERTIFIED
The maximum allocation of 850,000 Phantom Stock is expected. The number of Rights assigned is determined on the basis of the mechanisms explained in paragraph 2.3.
4.5. Methods and clauses for implementing the Plan, specifying whether effective attribution of the instruments is subject to the occurrence of certain conditions or to the achievement of certain results, including those based on performance; description of these conditions and results
The Attribution of Phantom Stock and their conversion into the Cash Bonus are subject to:
- the Beneficiaries must still have Work Relationship with the Company or with one of the Group companies at the time the Bonus is to be paid;
- the Beneficiaries must not be in a notice period for resignation or dismissal at the date the Bonus is paid; if the Beneficiary is an Executive Director, they must not have resigned from office or been removed at the time the Bonus is to be paid;
- achievement of the Performance Objectives as described in paragraph 2.2.
Without prejudice to the right to compensation for any other damages, after payment of the Bonus, the Company reserves the right, within the limitation periods provided for under applicable law and regardless of whether the work relationship still exists or has terminated, to require the Beneficiary to refund the Bonus already paid (so-called "clawback"), if any of the following circumstances occur:
- fraudulent or grossly negligent behaviour by the Beneficiary to the detriment of the Group;
- serious and intentional violations of laws, the Code of Ethics or company rules;
- payment of the Bonus on the basis of data which subsequently turn out to be manifestly incorrect or intentionally altered.
4.6. Indication of any restrictions on the availability of the instruments attributed or the instruments deriving from the exercise of options, with particular reference to the terms within which subsequent transfer to the company or to third parties is allowed or prohibited
As this is a Phantom Stock Plan, no attribution of Shares or options is envisaged; therefore, this section is not applicable.
4.7. Description of any termination conditions in relation to the attribution of the plans in the event that the recipients carry out hedging transactions that allow them to neutralise any prohibitions on the sale of the financial instruments assigned, also in the form of options, or of the financial instruments derived from exercising such options
As this is a Phantom Stock Plan, under which no Shares or options are attributed, hedging transactions aimed at neutralising any prohibition on the sale of the Rights assigned are not possible; therefore, this section is not applicable.
In any case, Beneficiaries are prohibited from carrying out hedging transactions that could alter or invalidate the risk-alignment effects inherent in incentive mechanisms based on financial instruments. Failure to comply with this prohibition results in the forfeiture of the right to receive the Bonus.
4.8. Description of the effects caused by termination of the work relationship
Beneficiaries are entitled to receive the Bonus if, at the time of payment, they still have a Relationship, without any notice period in progress or without any notice of termination having been given; directors must not have resigned from office nor been removed. In the event of termination of the Relationship before payment of the Bonus, the Beneficiary will automatically lose all Rights (or the Phantom Stock already attributed), which will become ineffective, and the Beneficiary will not be entitled to receive any compensation or indemnity from the Company for any reason.
In the event of termination of the Relationship before payment of the Bonus for reasons other than:
- disciplinary dismissal;

resignation without just cause;
- revocation of a director for just cause;
- resignation of a director without just cause;
the right (for the Beneficiary or for their heirs or successors) to receive a portion of the Bonus will be maintained by applying the "pro-rata temporis" criterion, in line with the degree of achievement of the Performance Objectives, and with the procedures and timing set out in the Plan.
In the event of:
- transfer of the work relationship or mandate by the Company to another Group company;
- termination with simultaneous establishment of a new work relationship or mandate within the Group;
the Beneficiary will retain ownership of the Rights under the same terms and conditions.
4.9. Other possible reasons for cancellation of the plans
Any grounds for cancellation of the Plan will be specified by the Board of Directors at the time of its implementation.
4.10. Reasons for any redemption by the Company of the financial instruments involved in the plans pursuant to Article 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption, indicating whether the redemption is intended only for particular categories of employees; the effects of termination of the work relationship
Not applicable.
4.11. Any loans or other facilities intended to be granted for the purchase of the shares pursuant to Article 2358, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code
Not applicable.
4.12. Assessments of the expected burden for the Company at the date of the assignment, as determined on the basis of terms and conditions already defined, by total amount and in relation to each instrument of the Plan
This value cannot be determined at present, as it will depend on the value of the Share at the time of Attribution of the Phantom Stock. The expected cost for the Company corresponds to the fair value of the Rights serving the Plan, which will be determined precisely at the Assignment of the Rights. Information on the overall cost of the Plan will be provided in the manner and within the time limits set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulation.
4.13. Any dilutive effects on capital brought about by compensation plans
Not applicable.
4.14.-4.23.
The sections relating to the attribution of shares and stock options are not applicable.
Table no. 1, required by paragraph 4.24 of Scheme 7 of Annex 3A to the Issuers' Regulation, will be provided subsequently according to the procedures set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulation.
