FORTH ITEM ON THE AGENDA

PROPOSAL FOR AUTHORISATION OF THE PURCHASE AND DISPOSAL OF TREASURY SHARES, SUBJECT TO REVOCATION OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF 28 APRIL 2023. RELATED AND SUBSEQUENT RESOLUTIONS.

Dear Shareholders,

the Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2023, having revoked the resolution previously adopted on this matter by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 29 April 2022, authorised the Company to purchase treasury shares, for a period of 18 (eighteen) months from the date of the resolution,as well as to dispose of them without time limits.

As of today, the Company has not exercised the aforementioned authorisation and, against purchases made in the past, holds No. 28,027 treasury shares in portfolio, equal to 0.1261% of the ordinary share capital and equal to 0.1098% of the voting share capital. The Company does not hold treasury shares indirectly through subsidiaries, trusts or third parties.

Since the term of validity for the above authorisation will expire on 28 October 2024, in order to avoid having to convene a specific Shareholders' Meeting close to that deadline and given that this proposal is in line with practices followed by most listed companies, the Board of Directors considers it useful to propose that you proceed with the approval of a new authorisation to purchase and dispose treasury shares, subject to revocation of the authorisation previously resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023.

The reasons and procedures for purchase and disposal of treasury shares for which we request your authorisation are indicated below.

(A) Reasons for requesting authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares

The reason for the resolution of the Board of Directors to submit, once again, to the Shareholders' Meeting the request for authorisation to carry out transaction to purchase treasury shares – subject to revocation of the authorisation resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting last year – and, under certain conditions, to dispose the same, in compliance with the equal treatment of shareholders and the applicable legislation and regulations, including Regulation (EU) 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse ("Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014") and the related regulatory technical standards, as well as market practices permitted by Consob, is to allow the Company:

a) to be able to invest and disinvest in the Company shares, in the interest of the same and of all the Shareholders, if the trend of stock market prices or the amount of available liquidity may make such a transaction convenient in economic terms;

b) to be able to act in the interests of the Company and of all Shareholders, in compliance with applicable regulations, in relation to contingent market situations, to carry out an activity that improves the liquidity of the stock, encouraging the regular trend of trading;

c) if necessary, to use treasury shares as part of transactions related to industrial or commercial projects, or in any case of interests of the Company or the LU-VE Group, in relation to which opportunities to exchange or dispose of packages of shares or to pledge collateral on the same;

d) if necessary, to be able to purchase and/or sell and/or assign treasury shares (or options on the shares) in relation to (i) compensation plans based on financial instruments pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance in favour of, inter alia,

directors, employees, collaborators or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries, and (ii) the issue of financial instruments convertible to shares and (iii) plans to assign shares free of charge to Shareholders.

(B) Maximum number and nominal value of the shares that to which authorisation proposal refers

The proposal envisages that the authorisation involves purchases of the Company's shares, carried out, also in one or more tranches, up to a maximum number of 2,223,436 (two million two hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred thirty-six) treasury shares, equal to 10% (ten per cent) of the share capital, and therefore in an extent not exceeding one fifth of the Company's share capital – taking account, for this purpose, any shares held by subsidiaries – and in any case within the limit of distributable profits and available reserves as recorded in the latest duly approved financial statements.

The requested authorisation includes the power to subsequently dispose of the shares held, without any time limits, on one or more tranches, even before reaching the maximumquantity of shares that may be purchased, and, if necessary, to buy back the same shares,in compliance with the limits and conditions established in this authorisation.

(C) Information useful for the valuation in accordance with the provisions of Article 2357, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code

As mentioned above, the value of the shares for which authorisation to purchase is requested does not exceed the limit corresponding to the fifth part of the Company's share capital, taking into account for this purpose also the shares that may be purchased by the Company and its subsidiaries.

In any case, specific instructions will be given to the subsidiaries to promptly report any purchase of shares carried out pursuant to Article 2359-bis et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.

(D) Duration of the authorisation
