Item 6 of the Agenda

6. Authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares; related and consequent resolutions

Dear Shareholders,

This Report has been drawn up pursuant to article 125-ter of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as subsequently amended ("CFA") and art. 73 of the Issuers' Regulation adopted with resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended ("Issuers' Regulation"), and in accordance with Annex 3A - Scheme no. 4 to the same Issuers' Regulation.

This Report is made available to the public, in accordance with the law and regulations, at the registered office in Rome and the operating headquarter in Milan, on the Company's website (www.groupmaire.com Section "Governance" - "Shareholders' Meeting Documents") and on the authorised storage mechanism ().

The Board of Directors has convened you, in ordinary session, for 14 April 2025 and, if necessary, on second call on 15 April 2025, to submit for your approval, pursuant to articles 2357 and 2357- ter, of the Italian Civil Code, 132 of the CFA and 144- bis of the Issuers' Regulation, a new proposal to authorise the purchase and disposal, by MAIRE S.p.A. ("MAIRE" or the "Company"), of treasury shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Report.

It must be noted that the Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 April 2024 has authorised the Board of Directors to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, in accordance with the terms set forth in the related resolution and for a period of 18 months from the date of the authorising shareholders' resolution; in this regard, it should be noted that the authorization to purchase treasury shares, which was not been executed during financial year 2024, will expire during the financial year 2025. Therefore, we are proposing to the Shareholders' Meeting to resolve on a new authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Report, without prejudice to the resolution adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting of 17 April 2024, the revocation of which, therefore, will not be proposed.

1. Reasons for which authorization is requested for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares

The request for authorization for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, subject of this proposal submitted by the Board of Directors of the Company, aims at allowing the Company to purchase and dispose of ordinary shares, in full compliance with the European and Italian applicable laws – including Regulation EU 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter " MAR") and Delegated Regulation EU 1052/2016 (the "Regulation 1052")– for all purposes permitted by the applicable provisions, including those relevant to art. 5 of the MAR, and for the activities supporting market liquidity according to the practices approved by Consob pursuant to art. 13 MAR, in compliance with the terms and methods as may be resolved by competent corporate bodies, as well as for the supply of treasury shares for the remuneration or incentive plans, based on MAIRE shares, adopted by the Company pursuant to art. 114 bis of the CFA. For additional information regarding (i) outstanding remuneration or incentive plans based on the current MAIRE shares, see " Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and Fees Paid" of the Company, drawn up pursuant to art. 123-ter of the CFA, and (ii) the "MAIRE Group's Long-Term Incentive Plan 2025-2027", submitted for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting, under item 5 of the Agenda, see the Explanatory Report and the additional documentation made available pursuant to art. 114-bis of the CFA and art. 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulations.

2. Maximum number, type and par value of the shares to which the authorization refers

The Board of Directors is asking to authorize one or more purchasing programs for the Company's ordinary shares, also in more tranches, to an extent to be freely determined by the Board of Directors, up to a maximum amount of no. 10,000,000 ordinary shares, without par value, representing 3.04% of the currently outstanding shares, provided that the above maximum amount shall not in any case exceed 20% of the total number of outstanding shares, also with regard to the ordinary treasury shares held by the Company at the date of the launch of the program, either directly or through its subsidiaries.

Furthermore, in accordance with Regulation 1052, purchases of treasury shares must be made on any trading day for a volume not exceeding 25% of the average daily volume of shares at the trading venue where the purchase is carried out, as calculated in compliance with art. 3, paragraph 3 of Regulation no. 1052.

Pursuant to art. 2357, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, purchases of treasury shares

must however be made within the limits of distributable profits and available reserves shown in the last approved financial statements (including interim financial statements) at the time of each transaction.

It is therefore hereby proposed to confer a mandate to the Board of Directors to determine the amount of shares to be purchased according to each purchase program in line with the purposes mentioned in the paragraph above, prior to the launch of the program itself and subject to the maximum limit indicated above.

The authorization also includes the right of the Board of Directors to dispose of the shares in the portfolio, as better specified under the following paragraph 6 of this Explanatory Report.

At the date of this Report, MAIRE holds no. 186,150 treasury shares in its portfolio, while its subsidiaries do not hold any treasury shares in portfolio.

3. Information useful for the evaluation of the maximum limit to which the authorization refers

At the date of this Report, the subscribed and paid-up share capital of the Company amounts to Euro 19,920,679.32 and is divided into 328,640,432 ordinary shares without indication of the par value.

The amount of available reserves and distributable profits, as well as verification of information for the evaluation of compliance with the maximum limit of purchase, to which the authorization refers, will be analysed at the time of each transaction.

At each purchase or disposal of treasury shares, the Company will perform the necessary accounting recordings, in compliance with applicable accounting standards.

4. Duration of the authorization

It is proposed to establish the duration of the authorization to purchase at the maximum term provided for by applicable regulations, currently set by art. 2357, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code at 18 months from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting resolution approving this proposal.

Within the period of duration of the authorization possibly granted, the Board of Directors may then purchase shares in one or more occasions and at any time, within an extent and time frames freely determined, in accordance with the applicable rules, as gradually as deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company. The authorization to dispose of any treasury shares

purchased is however requested with no time limit because of the absence of time limits under the existing provisions, and considering the opportunity to allow the Board of Directors to exercise the utmost flexibility, also in terms of time, to carry out acts of disposal of the shares.

5. Minimum and maximum price

The Board of Directors proposes that purchases of treasury shares be carried out, in compliance with the terms and conditions established by the applicable law and, in particular, by art. 3 of Regulation 1052 in implementation of the MAR, and with the practices related to all activities supporting market liquidity approved by Consob, in accordance with art. 13 of MAR, where applicable.

In this regard, it is proposed that the unit price for the purchase of the shares be determined from time to time for each individual transaction, provided that purchases of shares may be made at a price not higher than the higher of the price of the last independent transaction and highest current independent purchase bid on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out, also provided that the above mentioned unit price may not be lower in the minimum of 10% and not higher in the maximum of 10% than the official reference price of the security on the stock market trading session on the day prior to each individual purchase transaction.

As regards the disposal of treasury shares, this can be carried out at the price or, in all cases, according to criteria and conditions determined by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the implementation methods adopted, the trend of the prices of the shares in effect in the period prior to the transactions and in the best interest of the Company, also in compliance with the provisions set forth in the practices applicable to the activities supporting market liquidity, as approved by Consob pursuant to art. 13 MAR, if applicable, notwithstanding that their disposal in favour of the beneficiaries of the remuneration or incentive plans, based on MAIRE shares, adopted by the Company pursuant to art. 114-bis of the CFA, shall be carried out in compliance with the terms, conditions and methods provided thereunder.

6. Methods for purchases and disposals

In consideration of the various purposes that can be pursued through transactions on treasury shares, the Board proposes that authorisation be granted to make purchases according to the methods established in art. 144-bis of the Issuers' Regulation in implementation of art. 132 of the CFA, in art. 5 of the MAR, in compliance with the conditions relating to trading pursuant to articles 3 and 4 of Regulation 1052 and practices applicable to the activities supporting market

liquidity, approved by Consob in accordance with art. 13 MAR, where applicable, and as gradually as is considered to be appropriate in the Company's best interest.

The Board of Directors also proposes to authorise the use, in accordance with art. 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, at any time, in all or in part, in one or more tranches, of the treasury shares purchased in accordance with this proposal or in any case already held in the Company's portfolio, by means of:(i) their disposal in favour of the beneficiaries of the remuneration or incentive plans, based on MAIRE shares, adopted by the Company pursuant to art. 114-bis of the CFA, under the terms, conditions and methods set forth therein; (ii) their disposal on or off the stock market, potentially also through the transfer of rights in rem and/or personal rights, including, but not limited to, security lending, under the terms, conditions and methods as set out in the deed of disposal of treasury shares and as held to be most appropriate in the Company's interest, in compliance with the existing law and regulations in force and the pursuit of the purposes of this proposed resolution.
