PREMESSA

The management of corporate governance issues by Maire Tecnimont, during the 2020 financial year, took place in compliance with the principles and recommendations referred to in the 2018 Code, to which it adhered.

In this regard, it should be noted that, with the approval of the 2020 Code in January 2020, the Company - pending the entry into force of the Corporate Governance Code - has started some preliminary assessments of the new principles and recommendations contained therein.

With reference to the above, the Independent Directors of the Company, during the meeting reserved to them, held on 16 December 2020, formulated some considerations, which were subsequently brought to the attention of the Board of Directors of the Company. In particular, the Independent Directors of the Company - taking note of the new recommendations and principles of the 2020 Code and of the criteria of proportionality introduced by it according to the size and ownership structure of the issuers - suggested that the Board of Directors evaluate the opportunity not to avail itself of the possibility of redefining Maire Tecnimont governance by availing itself of the exemptions provided for "non-large companies" and "concentrated ownership", a category to which the Company currently belongs.

Following the coming into effect of the 2020 Code on 1 January 2021, the Company Board of Directors, on 11 February 2021, resolved in favour of the Company's adherence to the Corporate Governance Code, specifying that, without prejudice to the possibility - if deemed appropriate - of resorting to the "comply or explain" principle envisaged by the New Code, the proposals for the adjustment of Maire Tecnimont's corporate governance system to the 2020 Code shall be assessed and approved, in an organic manner, during the 2021 financial year.

In approving the above, the Board of Directors, in addition to the preliminary considerations made by the Independent Directors, which were favourably received by the entire Board, also took into account i) the importance for stakeholders, in the current global market context, of a corporate governance system that is always in line with the most recent international best practices, and ii) the positive positions obtained by the Company in the main sustainability indices, also thanks to the ratings assigned to corporate governance issues.

The results of the above adjustment activities will then be described in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure which will be made available to the public during the 2022 financial year.

1. ISSUER'S PROFILE

Maire Tecnimont is the head of a group that operates internationally in the natural resources processing sector, with cutting-edge executive and technological skills. The Group is a leader in the field of plant engineering in the downstream oil & gas, petrochemical, fertilizer and energy sectors. It also works to offer solutions in the field of green chemistry and technologies for the energy transition to meet the needs of customers engaged in the decarbonisation process.

The Group is a technology-driven player committed to transforming natural resources into innovative and sustainable energy and products, thanks to its highly technological DNA that originates from pioneering work in the petrochemical sector.

From these solid roots, an agile, flexible and international business model has been built, offering continuous technological and executive innovations, ready to be developed for the energy transition and decarbonisation. Maire Tecnimont is organized according to the traditional administration and control model, including the Shareholders' Meeting, Board of Directors and Board of Auditors.

The Board of Directors, in accordance with the recommendations of the 2018 Code and confirmed by the 2020 Code, has set up two committees from among its members with advisory and proposal-making functions: the Remuneration Committee and the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee.

The Board of Directors has also established a Related Party Committee which is assigned the tasks and duties envisaged by Consob Related Party Regulation.

The mandate of legal audit of the accounts for FYs 2016-2024 was assigned by the Company's ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 15 December 2015 - on the proposal made by the Board of Statutory Auditors -, to the independent auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. ("Appointed Auditor"), with effect starting 27 April 2016, i.e. from the date of the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting that approved the financial statements as at 31 December 2015.

As from 26 November 2007, Maire Tecnimont shares are traded on the Mercato Telematico Azionario ("MTA" or "Telematic Stock Market") organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

Additionally, starting on 3 May 2018, the Maire Tecnimont bonds "Senior Unsecured Notes due 30 April 2024" - issued following the public offering in Luxembourg and in Italy launched by the Company on 18 April 2018 and concluded on 24 April 2018 - were traded on the Mercato Telematico delle Obbligazioni ("MOT" or "Telematic Bond Market") organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., as well as on the list of the regulated Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

As at the date of this Report, Maire Tecnimont is controlled, in accordance with article 93 of the Consolidated Finance Act, by Fabrizio Di Amato, who, through the company GLV Capital S.p.A. ("GLV Capital"), holds legal control of the Company.

The Company's corporate governance system is defined according to the operational needs and the pursuit of the strategies defined by it, with the objective of their sustainable success.

In this context, the Company and the Group are committed to maintaining constant relations with their internal and external stakeholders, including through social responsibility initiatives in the areas in which they conduct business. The Group also participates in and contributes to international initiatives developed by the United Nations (UN Global Compact and Global Compact Network Italia, Women's Empowerment Priciples) to promote the protection of human and labour rights, environmental protection and the fight against corruption as well as a commitment to diversity and gender equality. The Company and the Group are also part of wide-ranging international programmes for more sustainable socio-economic development (UN Sustainable Development Goals). The commitment to comply with these initiatives is reflected in the sustainability strategy adopted by Maire Tecnimont and the Group.

At the date of approval of this Report, the Issuer does not fall within the definition of an SME pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 1, letter w-quater.1) of the Consolidated Finance Act and Article 2-ter of Consob Issuers' Regulations, as it does not exceed the parameters set out in the above mentioned provisions (see also the the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises "SME" issuing listed shares, published by Consob on its website at www.consob.it/web/areapubblica/emittenti-quotati-pmi, which does not include the Issuer).

2. INFORMATION ON OWNERSHIP STRUCTURES

A) Company's share capital

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter a), CFA)

On the date on which this Report is approved, the subscribed and fully paid-up share capital of Maire Tecnimont amounts to Euro 19,920,679.32, divided into 328,640,432 ordinary shares, with no par value, corresponding, pursuant to article 120, paragraph 1 of the CFA and article 6 bis of the By-Laws, to 496,305,566 voting rights.

It should be noted that the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, held on 26 April 2012, has introduced in the By-Laws (art. 6) a provision based on which the shareholders' option right in relation to the newly issued shares and to the bonds convertible into shares, may be excluded by the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. in the case of delegation of powers pursuant to article 2443 of the Civil Code, by the Board of Directors, within ten per cent of the pre-existing share capital and under the conditions set out in article 2441, paragraph 4, sub-paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code.

As at the date of this Report, no categories of shares have been issued different to ordinary shares, nor any financial instruments attributing the right to subscribe newly issued shares.

Lastly, it is noted that the incentive plans adopted by the Company do not involve capital increases.

Maire Tecnimont share capital structure is detailed in Table 1, annexed to this Report. In this regard, it is recalled that the By-Laws of Maire Tecnimont envisage an increased voting right mechanism and article 120, paragraph 1 of the CFA, as part of the discipline of disclosure obligations of significant shareholdings, provides that for companies whose By-Laws allow the increased voting rights, share capital means the total number of voting rights (in this regard, reference is made to paragraph d, below).

b) Stock transfer restrictions

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter b), CFA)

There are no restrictions on the transfer of company shares.

c) Significant equity holdings

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter c), CFA)

Significant holdings in Maire Tecnimont capital at 31 December 2020 and at the date of this Report are indicated in Table 1 annexed to this Report, on the basis of the records of the Register of Shareholders and communications received pursuant to article 120 of the CFA and other information in the possession of Maire Tecnimont,.

d) Stocks granting special rights

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter d), CFA)

As at the date of this Report, no stocks conferring special controlling rights have been issued.

As mentioned under paragraph 2, letter a) of the Report, in order to encourage medium to long term investment and thus the stability of the shareholding structure, the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 18 February 2015 resolved - pursuant to article 127-quinquies of the CFA and article 20, paragraph 1-bis, of Decree Law 91/2014 converted into Law 116/2014 the inclusion of the mechanism of increased voting rights in the By-Laws of Maire Tecnimont, through the introduction of articles 6-bis, 6-ter and 6-quater.

The regulations introduced provides for the allocation of two votes to each ordinary share of the same Shareholder for a continuous period of not less than twenty-four months from the date of registration in a special list of Shareholders (the "Special List"), established and maintained by the Company.

In particular, the By-Laws provide that the increased voting rights are achieved, after registration in the Special List following request of the owner accompanied by communication certifying shareholding ownership (also for a portion of the shares held), issued by the intermediary where the shares are deposited, with twenty-four months uninterrupted ownership from registration in the Special List and with effect from the fifth trading day of the month following that in which the period of twenty-four months has elapsed.

The vote increase already accrued, i.e. the ownership period necessary for accrual thereof, already elapsed are retained in the event of succession following death in favour of the heirs or legatees of the holder of the shares, merger or demerger of the holder of the shares in favour of the company resulting from the merger or beneficiary of the demerger and transfer from one portfolio to another of the UCI managed by the same entity.

In addition, the voting right increase extends to (i) shares for a free capital increase due to the holder in relation to the shares for which the increase accrued; (ii) shares due in exchange in case of mergers and demergers (if the merger or demerger provides it); and (iii) shares subscribed by the holder in case of exercise of option rights relating to the shares for which the increase accrued.

The voting right increase shall cease to apply for shares to be transferred for payment or free of charge, or pledged, subject to usufruct or other constraints that attribute the voting right to a third party and for the shares owned by companies or entities (that own shareholdings exceeding the threshold in article 120 CFA) in case of transfer of control of said companies or entities. The increase shall no longer apply also following waiver of the holder, in whole or in part.

The increased voting rights are calculated for each shareholders' meeting resolution, in order to determine the attendance and voting quorums based on capital holdings and has no effect on the rights, other than voting, attributed and exercisable under the possession of specific capital thresholds (including thresholds for the submission of lists regarding the appointment of corporate bodies, for the exercise of the liability action or for the appeal of shareholders' meeting resolutions).

The Company has established the Special List of Shareholders who wish to take advantage of the increased voting rights pursuant to article 6-quater of the By-Laws and has published on its website (www.mairetecnimont.com Section "Governance" "Increased voting rights") the operational procedures for registration therein.

Shareholders registered in the Special List under article 6-quater of the By-laws may be entitled to the increased voting rights – under the regulatory requirements and conditions laid down by the laws and By-law.

In accordance with article 6-quater, paragraph 3 of the By-laws, the Company will update the Special List by the 5th (fifth) stock market trading day from the end of each calendar month and, in any event, no later than the so-called record date prescribed by the regulations in force (currently at the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting).

The Company will communicate to the public and to Consob the total amount of voting rights, pursuant to article 85-bis, paragraph 4 bis of Consob Issuers' Regulation.

On 07 April 2017 - following a request made pursuant to article 6-bis, paragraph 2 of the Bylaws, provided the assumptions and conditions required by current legislation and by the Bylaws apply - the increased voting rights were obtained with reference to 167,665,134 ordinary shares of the Company held by the shareholder GLV CAPITAL which, therefore, starting from that date is entitled to 335,330,268 voting rights.

e) Employee stock ownership: mechanism for exercising voting rights (pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter e), CFA)

At the date of this Report, there is no employee stock ownership scheme by means of which voting rights are not exercised directly by the employees.

For further information regarding the share-based incentive plans of the Issuer that provide share ownership for employees, see Section 9 of this Report as well as the Report on the 2021 Policy regarding Remuneration and fees paid, prepared in accordance with articles 123-ter CFA and 84-quater of the Consob Issuers' Regulations, and made available to the public on the Company's website (www.mairetecnimont.com in the section "Governance" – "Shareholders' Meeting Documents" – "2021").

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter f), CFA)

As at the date of this Report, there are no restrictions on voting rights.

g) Shareholders' agreements

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter g), CFA)

3. COMPLIANCE

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter a), CFA)

As indicated in the introduction of the Report, the management of corporate governance issues by Maire Tecnimont, during the 2020 financial year, took place in compliance with the principles and recommendations set out in the 2018 Code, prepared by the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., dated July 2018, accessible

to the public on the Corporate Governance Committee website (https://www.borsaitaliana.it/borsaitaliana/regolamenti/corporategovernance/corporategovern ance.htm), to which it adhered.

With reference to the adoption by Maire Tecnimont of the Self-Regulatory Code, it must be noted that in some cases the Company has not adopted the recommendations contained therein. In application of the "comply or explain" principle, the following sections represent said deviations and the underlying reasons, as well as possible alternative behaviours.

With reference, on the other hand, to the new Corporate Governance Code issued on 31 January 2020 by the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and which became effective on 1 January 2021, accessible to the public on the Corporate Governance Committee's website (https://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitato-corporategovernance/codice/2020.pdf), it should be noted, as better indicated in the introduction of this Report, that the Board of Directors, on 11 February 2021, resolved in favour of the Company's adherence to the New Code, specifying that, except for the possibility - if deemed appropriate - of resorting to the "comply or explain" principle provided for therein, the proposals for the adjustment of Maire Tecnimont's corporate governance system to the 2020 Code shall be assessed and approved, at consolidated level, during the 2021 financial year.

At the date of this Report, activities aimed at identifying these proposals for the adjustment of Maire Tecnimont corporate governance system to the 2020 Code are therefore underway.

The results of the above adjustment activities will be described in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure which will be made available to the public during the 2022 financial year.

The Issuer and Tecnimont, its subsidiary of strategic relevance, are not subject to non-Italian law provisions that have an impact on the Maire Tecnimont corporate governance structure.

4. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

4.1 APPOINTMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF DIRECTORS

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter l), CFA)

In compliance with the provisions of article 147-ter of the CFA, the Company By-laws envisages the appointment of Directors and Statutory Auditors by means of a list-based voting mechanism.

Article 14 of the By-laws provides for the appointment of the Directors on the basis of the lists submitted by the shareholders (where the candidates are listed with consecutive numbers) that hold, individually or jointly, at least 2% of the share capital represented by shares with

right to vote in the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, or any other different threshold set forth by Consob. In this respect, it shall be noted that such shareholding threshold determined by Consob for the Issuer, pursuant to article 144- quater of the Issuers' Regulation, with Managerial Resolution of the Corporate Governance Division, no. 44 of 29 January 2021, is equal to 2.5%.

Lists, signed by those who submit them, must be registered with at the Company's registered office at least 25 (twenty five) days before that set for the Shareholders' Meeting in first calling, together with: (i) a declaration by each single candidate confirming acceptance of the candidacy and also confirming, under their own responsibility, the absence of any causes for ineligibility and incompatibility, as well as the fulfilment of the requirements as specified in the applicable regulations and, if required, the fulfilment of the independence requisite, (ii) a curriculum vitae of each candidate, including specifications regarding any administrative and control offices held in other companies, (iii) a certificate of ownership, at the time when the list is filed with the Company, of the minimum shareholding required for the presentation of the lists (it is noted that, in compliance with the provisions of article 147-ter, paragraph 1-bis, of the CFA, said certificate may also be produced subsequent to the filing of the list, provided that it is within the deadline envisaged for its publication).

The clause envisages that the directors to be elected are those listed in the list that has obtained the largest number of votes except one who shall be selected from the second ranking minority list yhat has obtained the second major number of votes and who is in no way, also indirectly, connected with the Shareholders that have presented or voted the majority list. In this way, the appointment of a minority Director is ensured in compliance with the provisions of article 147-ter, paragraph 3, of the CFA.

The By-Laws, to which reference is made, also regulate the hypothesis in which two or more lists obtain the same number of votes.

The Company By-Laws do not envisage a minimum percentage of votes so that a list can participate in the distribution of directors to be elected.

In relation to the balanced proportion of genders, article 14 of the Company By-laws, in its current version, envisages that the lists containing at least three names shall be composed of candidates belonging to both genders, so that at least one-third of the slate candidates (rounded up) belongs to the least represented gender, and the election and the presence in the Board of the least represented gender, in compliance with the currently applicable regulatory provisions in the matter of "balanced proportion of genders", is ensured.

It is pointed out that:

  • the Conversion Law no. 157/2019 of Decree Law 124/2019 (Article 58-sexies) amended effective from 25 December 2019 - Article 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter and article 148 of the

TUF, extending from three to six consecutive terms of office the period of application of the gender balance rules;

  • law No. 160 of December 27, 2019 ("Budget Law 2020") confirmed the validity of the legislation in question for six consecutive terms and established that the least represented gender must obtain at least two-fifths of the Directors (and Statutory Auditors) elected. This appointment criterion applies to six consecutive mandates and starting from the first renewal of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors subsequent to the entry into effect of the afore-mentioned Law (i.e. 1 January 2020). The Board of Directors of Maire Tecnimont was appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2019 and shall remain in office until approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2021; therefore the Company, making use of the powers attributed to the Board of Directors by art. 15 of the By-Laws with regard to its adaptation to regulatory provisions, shall ensure the transposition into the By-laws of the new discipline on gender balance in time to enable the definition and submission of the lists of candidates for the office of Director and the consequent appointment of the Board of Directors in compliance with such provisions.

Regarding the election of independent Directors, article 14 of the By-laws provides a specific mechanism to ensure the appointment of the minimum number of directors as required by article 147-ter, paragraph 4, of the CFA. In particular, it provides (i) first, that each list contains a minimum number of candidates with the independence requirements established by law and applicable regulations, and (ii) if among the candidates elected there are not as many independent directors as required by law, it shall be required to proceed as follows:

  • a) in the event of a majority list, the non-independent candidates (equal to the number of missing independent Directors) coming last in progressive order in the majority list shall be replaced by non-elected independent Directors from the same list according to the progressive order;
  • b) in the absence of a Majority List, non-independent candidates (in a number equal to the number of missing Independent Directors) which are elected with the lowest number of votes in the lists – and from which no Independent Director has been drawn - shall be replaced by non-elected Independent Directors from the same lists,

according to the sequential order.

Lastly, a replacement procedure is also envisaged in order to ensure (in case this were not guaranteed by the afore mentioned election criteria) that the Board of Directors is composed pursuant to the currently applicable regulation in the matter of balance proportion of genders.

The Company By-Laws do not envisage requisites of independence other than those envisaged by article 148, paragraph 3, of the CFA nor requisites of integrity other than those envisaged

by currently applicable law provisions. No professionalism-related requirements are envisaged to hold the position of Director.

If the Board of Directors needs to replace one or more directors, it does so by co-opting pursuant to article 2386 of the Civil Code - the first non-elected candidate from the list whence the terminated director was taken and so on, if such non-elected candidate is not available or ineligible, provided that such candidates are still eligible and are willing to accept the office. Should no non-elected candidates from the list remain or, in any case, for whatever reason, should it not be possible to meet the aforementioned criterion, the Board of Directors shall proceed with the replacement, as the subsequent Shareholders' Meeting shall also do, with the legal majority and without voting lists.

In any case, the Board of Directors and, subsequently, the Shareholders' Meeting shall proceed with the appointment so as to ensure (i) the presence of Independent Directors in the minimum total number required by the currently applicable regulation and (ii) compliance with the currently applicable regulation in the matter of balanced proportion of genders.

It is noted that the Issuer is not subject to any further provisions in relation to the composition of the Board of Directors with respect to the regulations contained in the Consolidated Finance Act.

As regards the statutory clauses relating to statutory changes, it is noted that the By-Laws do not contain provisions other than those provided by applicable law.

It is also noted that the By-Laws, in accordance with article 2365 of the Civil Code, confers to the Board of Directors of the Company the authority to resolve on the adjustment of the By-Laws to regulatory provisions.

To be noted is that the increase in voting rights described in Section 2, letter d) of the Report, which was achieved in accordance with the provisions of the current By-Laws, while it applies to all resolutions adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting and thus to the determination of the quorums required for the constitution and approval of resolutions, which refer to percentages of the share capital, does not affect the rights other than voting rights, which are entitled to and may be exercised on the basis of specific percentages of the share capital and, inter alia, for the determination of the percentages of the share capital required to file the list of candidates for election to the Company's bodies.

Succession plans

It should be noted that during financial year 2020, under the 2018 Code, the Board of Directors, on 11 March 2020, as regards the adoption of a Plan for the succession of the executive Directors pursuant to the criterion 5.C.2 of the Self-Regulatory Code (the

"Succession Plan"), resolved not to adopt a Succession Plan since the governance structure of the Company, with the presence of two executive Directors and Top Executives, with indepth management experience and specific expertise in the reference business, enables, in the short term, the management of any on-going concern disruptions arising, for instance, from the replacement of executive Directors at an early date from the expiry of the mandate or following resignations, thus guaranteeing continuity and stability in the conduct of the Company and of the Group, thanks also to the Remuneration Policies of Maire Tecnimont aimed at attracting and retaining people with the professional and management expertise necessary to effectively perform the Group activities.

Therefore, it should be noted that, at the meeting held on 10 March 2021, the Board of Directors - also taking into account the provisions of art. 4, recommendation 24 of the New Code that recommends that only "large companies" should define, inter alia, a plan for the succession of the chief executive officer and of the executive directors that identifies at least the procedures to be followed in case of early termination of office - while confirming its intention not to avail itself of the possibility of redefining Maire Tecnimont's governance by availing itself of the exemptions envisaged for "non-large companies" and "concentrated ownership", a category to which the Company belongs to date, confirmed, for the reasons already indicated above, not to proceed with the definition of the Succession Plan.

4.2 MEMBERS

(pursuant to article 123- bis, paragraph 2, letters d) and d- bis), CFA)

With regard to the additional information concerning the composition of the Board of Directors, also in terms of duration of office from the first appointment of each Director, reference is made to Table 2 Annexed.

In compliance with the provisions of article 144- decies of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, the personal and professional characteristics of each Director are specified in Annex "A" to this Report.

Diversity criteria and policies

The Board of Directors, at the meeting of 14 March 2019, in view of the Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2019, convened, inter alia, to appoint the Board of Directors for the three year period 2019-2021, has defined the guidelines for the management and professional profiles that are deemed necessary to be represented on the Board as well as the diversity criteria applicable to the composition of the Board that must be met (the "Diversity Criteria and Policies").

The Diversity Criteria and Policies have therefore been included in the Explanatory Report submitted by the Board of Directors to the Shareholders' Meeting of April 29, 2019, prepared pursuant to Article 125-ter of the CFA and relating to the appointment of the Board for the

three-year period 2019-2021 made available to the public on the Company's website (www.mairetecnimont.com, section "Governance" – "Shareholders' Meeting Documents" - "2019").

The Diversity Criteria and Policies, which must also be applied when Directors are replaced pursuant to article 2386, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, were subsequently confirmed by the Board of Directors on 11 March 2020 and, most recently, on 10 March 2021.

With reference to the Board of Directors in office, it must be noted that: (i) the Board is composed of 4 Directors (out of a total of 9) belonging to the less represented gender, in line with the new article 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter of the CFA; (ii) the Board is characterized by the demographic diversity of the Directors, taking into account that the age of the Directors is between 48 and 70 years; (iii) the training and professional backgrounds of the Directors currently in office guarantees a balanced combination of profiles and expertise within the administrative body, suitable to ensure the effective performance of the functions assigned to it.

Criteria and Policies on Diversity provide that, also in order to improve the understanding of the Company's organisation and of its activities, as well as for the development of an effective corporate governance, notwithstanding the law requirements applied to gender balance: (a) the Board is made up of different aged members; and (b) the training and professional experience of the Directors can guarantee a balanced combination of profiles and experience, both nationally and abroad, able to ensure the correct fulfilment of all the relevant duties;

In approving the above, the Board also took into account the provisions of principle VII of the Corporate Governance Code concerning the application of diversity criteria, including gender criteria, for the composition of the Board of Directors, in compliance with the priority objective of ensuring adequate competence and professionalism among its members, to which the Company has already complied with.

More generally, the Group, which recognizes the fundamental contribution of each Person to the company's growth and innovation strategy, is committed to supporting and enhancing diversity and inclusion as integral elements of its culture and code of conduct.

The Group's efforts and initiatives are aimed at promoting the consolidation, without discrimination and involving all employees, of the sense of belonging and the awareness of being able to actively contribute to its growth.

The company's approach has evolved from the protection of "diversity" to a strategy of proactive promotion and inclusion, with the aim of fostering diversity in all its dimensions, in order to seize and maximise opportunities and generate value in a context, such as the current one, which is increasingly diversified, in which everyone's talent and the opportunity to express and cultivate it can represent an asset and generate value.

A Human Capital that is heterogeneous in terms of culture, social and generational background, skills, competencies and experience constitutes a distinctive value and can represent a competitive advantage, as a factor that enables comparison, facilitates mutual and constant enrichment, and ensures the ability to interpret and respond appropriately to the needs and requests of stakeholders.

With regard to gender diversity, the Group's action is focused on promoting equal opportunities for professional growth and development, including the recruitment of new resources selected on the basis of their actual know-how and professional experience, and the adoption of increasingly effective measures to encourage a balance between life time, care time and work time.

The Group also promotes integrated strategies for the development and management of the needs of the different generations within the organization, promoting and fostering intergenerational dialogue and collaboration and confirming its willingness to continue to invest in young people, both in terms of integration and professional development, also through the activation of opportunities for comparison with senior colleagues.

The multicultural nature of the Group's workforce has also always been considered an essential value, capable of facilitating the exchange and enhancement of heterogeneous and transversal skills and experience. In fact, the Group's employees come from different cultures and geographical areas, and the workforce is therefore significantly diversified, as evidenced by the number of nationalities of the workers employed by the Group, which exceeds 70.

Maximum number of offices held in other companies

In the belief that each Director considers, with due judgement and sense of duty, prior to taking on a role, the compatibility of the appointments as Director and Statutory Auditor held in other companies, the Board of Directors believes it appropriate to leave to each Director the assessment of the compatibility of acceptance of corporate offices in Maire Tecnimont with any additional Director or Statutory Auditor offices held in other companies listed on regulated markets, in financial companies, banks, insurance firms or large companies.

The recommendation set forth in article 3, recommendation 15 of the New Code, concerning the definition by the Board of Directors of guidelines on the maximum number of Director or Statutory Auditor offices in other listed companies or companies of significant size will be assessed during the year 2021 as part of the activities aimed at aligning Maire Tecnimont's corporate governance system to the Corporate Governance Code. The decisions that will be taken in this regard will be disclosed in the Corporate Governance and Share Ownership Report that will be made available to the public during the 2022 financial year.

The average number of offices held in other companies by the Issuer's Directors in 2020 is equal to approximately 4 in unlisted companies. Five Directors out of nine hold an office in other listed companies.

Induction Programme

Taking into account the appreciation expressed by the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the induction activities carried out in the previous financial years, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in line with the recommendations of the Self-Regulatory Code, promoted, also for the Financial Year, the "Induction Session" programmes for Directors and Statutory Auditors of the Company, which is also expected to continue during financial year 2021, in line with the recommendations made in this regard by the Corporate Governance Code, in force as of January 1, 2021. Inductions at foreign sites and operating companies during 2020 have been suspended due to the emergency associated with the ongoing COVID 19 outbreak.

Meetings were nevertheless organized during the year in order to provide them with adequate knowledge of the business sector in which the Company and the Group operate, also considering its specificity thereof, the business dynamics and their evolution, the principles of proper risk management as well as the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference.

More in detail, at the meetings held in February and March 2020, the Head of Corporate Affairs Governance & Compliance and Secretary of the Board of Directors of Maire Tecnimont, in cooperation with the Chairman, provided an Induction to the Committees and the Board of Directors about the Corporate Governance Code.

In particular, the Induction concerned:

  • the objectives of the activities of the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. which, in formulating the Corporate Governance Code has, in particular, taken into account the development of the international best practices in terms of simplification and streamlining of contents, an increased attention to sustainability and engagement issues with the institutional investors;
  • the introduction, through the Corporate Governance Code, of new proportionality standards based on size criteria and a control model with all the related impacts on the Company, taking into account its capitalisation over the three subsequent periods as well as the current ownership structures;

On 18 June 2020, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, together with the Head of Corporate Affairs Governance & Compliance and Secretary of the Maire Tecnimont Board of Directors, illustrated the ongoing Maire Tecnimont Group Corporate Rationalization Project, aimed at creating a shareholding structure increasingly functional to the Group's strategic lines and at reducing the related structural costs. This Project, launched in 2013 and subject to periodic updates, is part of the plan to optimise structural costs launched in the early months of the year to deal with the epidemiological emergency caused by Covid-19. On that occasion, an induction was also held for the Directors and Statutory Auditors on the corporate structure of Maire Tecnimont Group and its governance.

More specifically, the Directors and Statutory Auditors received detailed information i) on the so-called Sister Companies of the Group, operating companies directly controlled by Maire Tecnimont that are active in different business sectors and have specific skills in the reference sector in which they operate and their own organisational structure, and ii) on the so-called corporate "subgroups" which refer to them, consisting of:

  • "Company" or "Subsidiary": operating companies with a mission similar to that of their "parent company", active in the country or region in question;
  • "Special Purpose Vehicle" (so called "SPV"): project companies specifically set up to execute acquired contracts;
  • "Partnerships" or "Joint Ventures" in corporate form with third parties for the development of specific initiatives, and
  • branches and representative offices.

The disclosure also concerned the standardised system of governance and delegated powers to be applied to each Group entity in order to meet the operating and business needs of the individual operating entities belonging to it, while ensuring the best coordination between the activities of the latter and Maire Tecnimont, which exercises control over them.

Finally, on 09 March 2021, the Company's Related Parties Committee received an induction prepared by the Head of Corporate Affairs Governance & Compliance and Secretary of the Maire Tecnimont Board of Directors and carried out with the support of a leading law firm expert in corporate governance and regulatory issues concerning issuers on the amendments made by Consob with Resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 to the Consob Related Party Regulation. This induction was made in view of the changes that the Board of Directors, having consulted with the Related Parties Committee for the part under its responsibility, will have to make to the Company's Procedure for the Management of Transactions with Related Parties in order to adapt it to the new provisions of the Consob Related Party Regulation,

effective as of 01 July 2021. A similar induction will be made to the Company's Board of Directors during the first half of Financial Year 2021.

Discussions were also held, during the meetings of both the Board of Directors and the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, aimed at developing the knowledge of the internal control and risk management system of the Company and the Group, also in order to support the definition of the guidelines of the internal control and risk management system, so that the main risks relating to the Company and its subsidiaries are correctly identified and adequately measured, managed and monitored, also determining the degree of compatibility of said risks with the strategies approved.

4.3 ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), CFA)

During the year, 11 Maire Tecnimont's Board of Directors' meetings have been held with an average duration of approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes.

For the current Financial Year, 12 Board of Directors' meetings are envisaged. As at the date of approval of the Report, the Board had met 3 times, respectively on 11 February, 04 March 2020 and 10 March 2021.

The disclosure to the Directors and Statutory Auditors is made available to them via a dedicated portal, both with full documentation and with summary notes clarifying the most significant, relevant points to the decisions under resolution.

During the year, the Chairman - with the support of the Secretary of the Board - ensured that the Company's Departments prepared complete and exhaustive documents related to the agenda items, so that they could be made available in advance in view of the meetings of the corporate bodies.

In the presence of complex issues and with the support of voluminous documentation, some notes were drawn up by the management of the Company with a summary of the most significant and relevant points in order to provide the necessary information for passing resolutions, notwithstanding the prior forwarding to all Directors and Statutory Auditors of the entire documentation concerning the Agenda items.

Although a specific pre-meeting term by which the documentation must be sent out was not set up, particular attention was placed over the year to ensure an adequate management of the information flows to be provided, in a complete and timely fashion, to the Board of Directors and to the Board's Committees, meeting both confidentiality and usability requirements thanks also, as highlighted earlier, to the portal accessible exclusively to the Directors and the Statutory Auditors.

It should also be noted that, normally, all relevant issues are dealt with in advance by the Committees with investigative, proposing and advisory functions established internally to the Board of Directors, which meet on a date prior to the meeting of the Board or during the meetings of the Board itself, where they review, over multiple meetings if necessary, the issues on which resolutions must be discussed and passed in the following meetings.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors in any case guarantees that during the meeting the time necessary for ample illustration by the delegated bodies in order to make aware decisions is dedicated to the related topics. The Chair shall also ensure that adequate and accurate clarifications are provided regarding items to promote a constructive debate with the involvement of Statutory Auditors and Directors, including the independent and nonexecutive.

The Managers of the Issuer responsible for the relevant corporate functions and external consultants were also invited to the Board of Directors meetings held in the Financial Year and depending on the items to be discussed, thus valuing the Board's meetings as an opportunity in which all the Directors may acquire adequate information about the management of the Company and the Group and appropriate insights on agenda items.

Specifically, the meetings of the Board of Directors of Maire Tecnimont are regularly attended by the Head of the Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance function as also the Secretary of the Board of Directors which, if necessary, illustrates the issues of competence of its Function concerning the items on the agenda of the Board of Directors. The meetings of the Board of Directors are also regularly attended by the Group's Chief Financial Officer and the "Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports", and from time to time, depending on the items on the Agenda, by the Group General Counsel, the Head of the function Human Resources Manager, ICT and Process Excellence Senior Vice President of the Company, the Head of Internal Audit, the Head of HSE Group, Project Quality & Risk Management, the Head of Sustainability Reporting, the Head of Group Sustainability or other Executives of the Group to illustrate specific issues related to the business.

With reference to the above, it should be noted that the recommendations under article 3, recommendation 11 of the New Code will be assessed during the year 2021 as part of the activities aimed at aligning Maire Tecnimont's corporate governance system to the Corporate Governance Code. The decisions that will be taken in this regard will be disclosed in the Corporate Governance and Share Ownership Report that will be made available to the public during the 2022 financial year.

The Board of Directors plays a central role in the organization being responsible for the definition and pursue of the strategic objectives of the Company and the Group, in addition to

verification of the availability of the controls necessary to monitor the Company and Group Companies performance, with the aim of pursuing its sustainable success.

In addition to the powers attributed by law and by the Company By-Laws to the Board of Directors, including those specified in art. 2381, par. 4 of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Directors has the following powers:

  • review and approval of the strategic business plans (including those relating to human resources) and the financial plans and budgets of the Company and Group, as well as the periodical monitoring of their implementation;
  • the examination and approval of the draft financial statements, interim management reports and the interim financial report, both of the Company and consolidated;
  • definition of the nature and levels of risk compatible with the strategic objectives of the Company, including in its assessments all the risks that may become relevant in terms of the medium-long term sustainability of the activities of the Company;
  • evaluation of the suitability of the general organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Company and the subsidiary having strategic significance, with particular reference to the internal control and risk management system;
  • evaluation of the Company performance taking into particular consideration the information received from the relevant competent bodies and comparing the results achieved against budget on a periodic basis;
  • periodic assessment of the financial and economic performance of the Company and the Group;
  • definition of the Company corporate governance and rules and the Group structure;
  • establishment and regulation of the Board internal committees, with the relevant appointments and determination of remunerations;
  • attribution and revocation of powers of attorney to the CEO, the Chairman and other Board members, with possible specification of limits and application criteria (for the powers of attorney) and determination of the relevant remuneration;
  • review and approval of the proposals from the Remuneration Committee;
  • review and approval of the transactions on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries, when such transactions have significant strategic, economic and financial relevance for the Company. In this respect, it shall be noted that the Issuer's Board of Directors of 29 April 2019 resolved that transactions having the characteristics above specified are, by way of example without limitations: (a) transactions to be accomplished by the Issuer or Group company belonging to the Issuer, relating to the establishment of companies and

branches or the acquisition, transfer, disposal in any form of shareholdings or companies or business unit when (i) the relation between net equity involved in the transaction and the Group's consolidated net equity is greater than 5% or (ii) the value of the transaction is greater than 5% of the Group's consolidated net equity; and (b) the issue of personal or real guarantees, of whatever amount, in the interest of the subsidiary, and in the interest of third parties;

  • the examination and approval of operations by the Issuer and Group companies concerning the concession, assumption and early repayment of loans in general, the assumption of financial debt and other financial transactions of any kind, including bank and insurance bonds, worth more than Euro 50 million per transaction;
  • merger in the cases envisaged by articles 2505 (incorporation of fully owned subsidiaries) and 2505-bis of the Civil Code (incorporation of companies owned at ninety percent), as well as divisions, when the aforementioned regulations also apply.

Moreover, in compliance with the Consob Related-Party Regulation, the Company adopted a Procedure for the Management of Transactions with Related-Party, described in further detail in Section 12 of the Report, to which reference is made, which envisages a specific procedure to be applied in carrying out Significant Transactions and Minor Transactions (as defined in the procedure), on the basis of the provisions of Consob Related-Party Regulation, establishing, amongst other matters, that the approval of the first is reserved to the Board of Directors.

In this regard, it should be noted that, following the publication of Consob Resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 concerning the amendments to the Consob Related Party Regulation which will come into force from 01 July 2021, the Company, availing itself of the transitional regime provided for this purpose, has started the activities necessary to adapt the Procedure for the Management of Related Parties Transactions to the new provisions of the Consob Related Party Regulation.

Pursuant to art. 16 of the Company By-Laws, in order for resolutions to be valid, it is necessary that the majority of the directors in office be present and the resolutions are given a favourable vote by the majority of the attendees.

In view of the approval of the annual financial report and half-year financial report, the Board of Directors shall evaluate the adequacy of the organizational, administrative and accounting structure of the Issuer and Tecnimont - a subsidiary with strategic importance whose assets are 49.5% of the consolidated assets of the Company - with particular reference to the internal control and risk management system.

Therefore, with reference to the year, the Board of Directors assessed the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of both the Issuer and Tecnimont, on 29 July 2020 and on 04 March 2021.

These evaluations, which had positive outcomes in both cases, have been conducted on the basis of a report, supported by documentary evidence, provided by the CEO and by Human Resources, ICT and the Process Excellence Senior Vice President of the Company, to the Directors and Statutory Auditors on the organizational, administrative and accounting structure, not only of the Issuer but also of the main direct subsidiaries, including Tecnimont.

The Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, whose meetings are duly minuted, received reports over the period from the Director in charge of the Internal control and risk management system, the Head of Internal Audit, the Head of Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance, the Head of Group HSE, Project Quality & Risk Management of the Company and the Head of Sustainability Reporting, as well as the Group General Counsel, on the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks of the Company and the Group.

The Chairman of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee has always provided information on the activities of the Committee and the results of its preliminary activities at the first Board of Directors' meeting.

With particular reference to risk management, see Section 11 of the Report ("Internal Control and Risk Management System").

The Board has also assessed on a quarterly basis the general operating performance, taking the information received from the Executive Directors into account and periodically comparing the results attained against budget.

With reference to the self-assessment on the size, composition and actual functioning of the Board and its committees, also considering its role in defining strategies and monitoring management performance and the adequacy of the internal audit and risk management system (the "Board Evaluation"), it should be noted that Article 4, Recommendation 22 of the New Code requires that it is carried out at least every three years, in view of the renewal of the Board of Directors. The New Code requires that a self-assessment must be performed annually only for "large companies" other than those with "concentrated ownership," categories to which the Company does not belong.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 11 February 2021, in adherence to the principles and recommendations of the New Code, deemed it appropriate to confirm the performance, on an annual basis, of the self-assessment of the Company's Board of Directors, also confirming the methodological approach used for this purpose during previous terms of office.

In defining the above, the Board of Directors took into account, inter alia:

  • i. the positive results obtained in previous years, following the self-assessment, in terms of discussion among the Board members on issues relevant to the Company's corporate governance, also for the purposes of its continuous improvement;
  • ii. of the preliminary considerations made by the Company's Independent Directors during the annual meeting reserved to them held on 16 December 2020, on the opportunity not to avail of the possibility to redefine Maire Tecnimont governance by availing of the exemptions provided for "non-large companies" and "concentrated ownership", a category to which the Company currently belongs. These considerations, moreover, concerned, in particular, the annual self-assessment of the administrative body, its effectiveness and usefulness, positively assessed by the Independent Directors.

The Board of Directors, as occurred in the first year of the mandate of the Board in office, has therefore entrusted, for the year, the Board Evaluation to the Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance function of Maire Tecnimont and to the Lead Independent Director.

The annual self-evaluation results were reviewed by the Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance function, after sharing them with the Lead Independent Director, and were presented to the Board of Directors during the meeting held on 04 March 2021.

The Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance function of the Company prepared a questionnaire that took into account the recommendations formulated by the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. with a letter dated 22 December 2020, in order to identify, also for self-evaluation purposes, the possible developments in the governance of the Company as regards the "areas needing improvements", also in qualitative terms, identified in 2020 by the Committee.

The results of the self-evaluation for the period provided a very positive picture that did not show any critical issues as regards the functioning, the composition and the size of the Board of Directors. As regards rules and regulations of corporate governance, the Board of Directors believes that they must be defined according to the Company and the Group's requirements and in the pursuit of the objective of achieving a sustainable success. The Board of Directors has expressed its approval, on an annual basis, of the work plan prepared by the Head of Internal Audit, and assessed as positive and productive the relationships it maintains with the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Body, pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01, as well as with the Independent Auditors. Remuneration policies also obtained a favourable opinion. In particular, the Board believes to have properly reviewed the remuneration policies of the Company and the Group, also in terms of their suitability to achieve the sustainable success of the Company and integration of sustainability objectives relevant to the Company and the Group. A positive judgement was also expressed as regards the functioning of the Board in terms of the adequacy of the Agenda items, the information provided by the CEO on

the development and performance of the operations in execution of his mandate, the support from the Chairman and the assistance and advisory services provided by the Secretary of the Board of Directors.

The Directors also appreciate the methods applied to the distribution of and the access to the support materials for the resolutions to be passed by the Board which guarantee an adequate usability and confidentiality of the material itself that is deemed to be complete and sufficiently clear, as well as the support provided by the corporate functions that are seen as competent and precise in providing the necessary details and clarifications on specific topics. In this regard, a particular appreciation was confirmed for the level of details with which the areas that fall under the scope of the Board of Directors responsibility are managed and for the seriousness and competence with which the functions of the Company support the corporate bodies. The duration and frequency of the meetings of the Board of Directors was deemed to be adequate by the Directors. Positive feedback was also received as concerns the climate and the dynamics within the Board of Directors, the role of the Chairman of the Board and the Induction activities promoted thereby, with the cooperation of the Secretary of the Board of Directors, aimed at providing an adequate knowledge of the Company and the Group, the activities and business reference sectors, the corporate dynamics and their development, also in terms of the sustainable success of the Company, as well as the principles for an effective management of risk and the reference regulatory and selfregulatory framework. As regards composition, the professional and management competences as well as the size of the Board of Directors, a positive judgement was expressed with reference to the composition of the Board of Directors as being balanced and diversified, also in terms of the executive, non-executive and independent members as well as the professional and managerial expertise represented therein, the adequate and appropriate diversity in gender, professional training, age, geographic origin and international experience.

A positive feedback was also given about the Internal Committees of the Board of Directors (Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, Remuneration Committee and Related Party Committee), deemed to be adequate in terms of number, type, expertise of the members and efficacy in the performance of their proposing and consulting roles toward the Board of Directors.

As regards the self-evaluation of the individual Board members, they have declared to have actively participated in the discussions and decisions of the Board, with independent judgement and free appreciation of the activities carried out by management, and consider that being part of the Board of Directors of the Company is stimulating, in addition to declaring to be perfectly aware of the obligations and responsibilities inherent to their functions.

In paragraph 4.2 of the Report, the criteria and policies on diversity adopted by the Board of Directors are described.

At the date of approval of the Report, the Shareholders' Meeting did not authorize general or advance derogation of the prohibition of competition under article 2390 Civil Code.

In defining the proposed policy for the remuneration of Directors and Top Managers - which, also in line with Principle XV of art. 5 of the Corporate Governance Code, is functional to the pursuit of the company's sustainable success and takes into account the need to dispose, retain and motivate people with the skills and professionalism required by the role they hold in the company - the Remuneration Committee takes into account the remuneration practices widespread in the reference sectors for companies of similar size, also considering comparable foreign experiences and making use of an independent consultant if necessary.

During the Financial Year, the Remuneration Committee, supported by the Company's Human Resources, ICT and Process Excellence function, analysed the proposals that the Company

deemed it necessary to submit to the Committee in order to identify possible areas of efficiency and to contribute, within the scope of its competence, to the structural cost optimisation plan launched in the early months of the Financial Year to tackle the Covid-19 epidemic and its impact on the Group's business.

  • the implementation of the 2020-2022 Employees Share Ownership Plan conceived taking as reference the previous positive experience of the Plan approved for the threeyear period 2016-2018 - confirming the will to continue identifying incentive mechanisms aimed at encouraging the participation of the generality of employees in the achievement of the objectives and the growth of the company's value in the long term, strengthening the motivation, sense of belonging and loyalty of employees to successfully face the Group's development path;

identified key resources of the Group that are expected to significantly contribute to the success of the above mentioned project.

In addition, the Remuneration Committee reports to the Shareholders during the annual Shareholders' Meeting on the criteria adopted in the performance of its tasks pursuant to article 2364, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, where required.

In the meetings of 11 February 2021 and 03 March 2021, the Remuneration Committee first reviewed, and thereafter on 09 March 2021, expressed an opinion in favour of the approval by the Board of Directors of the 2021 Remuneration Policy and of the Report on the 2021 Policy regarding Remuneration and fees paid for the period, pursuant to article 123-ter of the CFA, that all listed companies shall prepare and make available to the public before the annual Shareholders' Meeting as per article 2364, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, in compliance with currently applicable regulatory provisions, on the Company's website (www.mairetecnimont.com, Section "Governance" - "Shareholders' Meeting Documents" - "2021").

In the performance of its Functions, the Remuneration Committee has had access to the necessary information and corporate functions in order to accomplish its tasks relying, in particular, on the support of the Human Resources, ICT and Process Excellence, to which the Group Development & Compensation function of the Company reports.

As envisaged in article 7 of the Regulations of the Remuneration Committee, the latter may resort to external consultants for the performance of its tasks.

Maire Tecnimont, upon verifying the independence of the selected company, has availed itself of the remuneration-related advisory services provided by Willis Towers Watson, leading company in industry remuneration surveys by advisory activities and certification of corporate compensation systems.

The Board defines the guidelines for the internal control and risk management system, comprising the rules, procedures and organizational structures aimed at ensuring an effective and efficient identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main corporate risks, also with a view to contributing to their sustainable success. In particular, the Board of Directors (i) defines the guidelines to be used for the internal control and risk management system, so that the main risks regarding the Company and its subsidiaries are properly identified and also adequately measured, managed and monitored, determining the level of compatibility of said risks with a business management consistent with the identified strategic objectives; (ii) assesses, at least every six months, the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system with respect to the company's characteristics and risk profile as well as of its efficacy.

In exercising these functions, the Board of Directors avails itself of the collaboration of the Director responsible for the Internal control and risk management system - identified in the person of the CEO, Pierroberto Folgiero - and of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee which, inter alia, periodically reviews the report prepared by the Head of the Group HSE, Project Quality & Risk Management function related to the risk profile for the commercial phase (pre-tendering, tendering/tendered) and for the executive phase (executive projects) and for the activities performed by the corporate functions (Enterprise Risk Management); it also takes into consideration the Organization and Management Models of the Company and the Group companies pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, adopted therein.

The Board of Directors appointed the Head of Internal Audit, ensuring that the same is provided with adequate means to perform related functions, also from the point of view of the operating structure and the internal organization procedures for access to the information required to perform the related task.

The Company's internal control and risk management system is based on a set of procedures comprising Group Standards, Procedures and Operating Instructions, the segregation of responsibilities, the traceability of operations carried out, management control systems and powers of attorney and delegations, activation level matrices, a structured system of checks and controls blocking information systems for the most sensitive operations, a system of

checks pursuant to Law 262/2005 and the application of the Company's Code of Ethics and Model 231.

The Group adopts a risk management system integrated with the "internal control and risk management system", in order to properly ensure authenticity, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of financial information. In fact, the Group management is convinced that the financial risk management cannot be considered separately from the internal control and risk management system as both are elements of the same system and only in this way it is possible to ensure an accurate, reliable and timely financial information.

In particular, to manage risks associated with financial disclosures, the Group adopted a specific control system the details and operating methods of which are reported in the paragraph below.

Main features of the internal control and risk management system in relation to the financial reporting process

(pursuant to article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter b), CFA)

The risk management system related to financial reporting adopted by the Group is based on the requirements of the CoSO Report model that guided its design, implementation and maintenance. This model, developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and accepted by the Code, is characterized by the presence of the following five components:

    1. control framework;
    1. risk assessment;
    1. information and communication;
    1. control activity:
    1. monitoring.

The administrative and accounting control model is subject to a continuous process of updating and maintenance aimed at ensuring the effectiveness and coordination of the main elements of the system with respect to the organizational and governance evolution of the Company and the Group.

During 2020 the project for the overall revision of the Segregation of Duty (SOD) system was completed, as part of which the mapping of sensitive activities, the risk matrix, the processes for updating and assigning user roles in the information systems were updated.

Phases of the internal control and risk management system in relation to the financial reporting process

For the purposes of fulfilling the obligations, pursuant to article 154- bis of the CFA, attributed to the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports, the model for managing risks related to said reporting adopted by the Group comprises the following main categories of activities:

  • identification of the scope of the Group companies and of the relevant processes in terms of potential impact on financial reporting (scoping). This assessment is carried out in relation to the specific level of relevance, in both quantitative terms, for the level of significance of the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements, and in qualitative terms (taking into account the specific risks related to the business or the process);
  • the mapping, through flow charts, of the processes deemed to be most relevant for financial reporting, the identification of the Process Owners and the assessments of all related main risks and control objectives;
  • the identification, for each risk related to processes deemed as relevant in terms of financial reporting, the administrative-accounting control activities and related Control Owners;
  • the on-going monitoring and update of the model (processes, risks and controls) based on the organisational development of the Group, in addition to the formal periodical verification of the correct design of each process and control, with the cooperation of the Process Owners and the Control Owners;
  • the periodic test of the effectiveness of the key controls. In order to ensure the independence and objectivity of the results, this activity is carried out by the Financial Controls function which reports directly to the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports and not in a hierarchical line with the units responsible for implementing the controls.
  • a reporting process to the Board of Directors, also through the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, which guarantees, inter alia, adequate information about the results of monitoring activities carried out regarding administrative-accounting procedures;
  • an attestation process to the outside, based on the reports and declarations made by the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports in accordance with article 154-bis of the CFA jointly with the CEO (in the name and on behalf of the Board of Directors), as part of the drafting of the annual financial statements and half-

year financial report, to ensure the correctness of the accounting information that the company provides to its shareholders, third parties and the market.

In addition to the controls defined on the process level, controls operating across the Group or individual companies (Entity Level Controls) are also defined and updated as integral part of the system. These controls are monitored through a check-list that covers each of the five fundamental elements of the CoSO Report. In addition, great attention is paid to the general aspects of development and management of the information systems supporting the processes (IT General Controls - ITGC) and the automatic controls at the level of a single corporate process that is relevant for financial reporting.

The management of the Risk and Control Matrix, the activities used for the model update (periodical assessments) and the execution of the Effectiveness Tests are carried out through a dedicated IT support system.

Roles and functions involved

The risk management system related to financial reporting adopted by the Group includes the involvement of many parties in various levels of the organizational structure in order to ensure, consistent with the various responsibilities of each, the constant updating of the model over time and the maximum integration of controls with operational activities.

As a key element of the control system, the Process Owners are identified that are regularly called upon to express their opinion with respect to the design of the model for their part of competence, in terms of representation of the process and effective definition and attribution of controls.

In addition, for each control, the Control Owners that have the responsibility to oversee the effective implementation of the controls, are identified.

The operational activities for updating of the model, execution of tests and monitoring of mitigation actions of gaps are undertaken by the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports with the help of a dedicated structure (Financial Controls), in synergistic cooperation with the Internal Audit function.

***

During the Financial Year, the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee provided the Board of Directors with regular updates on the Committee's operation, on the outcomes of the controls carried out and on the operation of the internal control and risk management system, highlighting that the latter was adequate in relation to the Issuer's size and operating and organizational structure.

On 11 March 2020, 29 July 2020, and most recently on 10 March 2021, the Board of Directors, acknowledging the reports made by the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee and also based on the report made by the Head of Internal Audit, the Supervisory Body, the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports and the Head of Group HSE, Project Quality & Risk Management expressed an opinion of congruity, efficacy and effective operation of the internal control and risk management system.

11.1 DIRECTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

On 29 April 2019, following the appointment of the new Board of Directors for the three year period 2019-2021 and in compliance with the provisions of the 2018 Code, the Board confirmed, consistent with the previous mandates, the CEO Pierroberto Folgiero as Director responsible for the internal controls and risk management system.

It should also be noted that, also for the purposes of the principles and recommendations contained in article 6 of the Corporate Governance Code, Pierroberto Folgiero holds the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company.

The Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system or, pursuant to the 2020 Code, the CEO:

In addition, pursuant to the 2018 Code, the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system expresses his opinion on proposals to the Board of Directors on the appointment and removal of the manager of the Internal Audit Function.

The Company has also established an Internal Committee to oversee the internal control and risk management system (the "SCIR Committee", which has an advisory role, assisting the Director Responsible for the internal control and risk management system, with the task of aiding the corporate functions involved in the internal control and risk management system, optimising the respective processes of competence and liaising with the Group's organisational structure, in line with the company's strategic objectives.

The SCIR Committee, of which the Head of Human Resources, ICT and Process Excellence, the Chief Financial Officer of the Group, the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports, the Head of the Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance, the General Counsel for the Group, the Head of the Internal Audit and the Head of the Group HSE, Project Quality and Risk Management are permanent members, also pursues the aim of maximising the effectiveness and efficiency of the internal control and risk management system, avoiding operative overlapping in the areas of activity in which the Functions are involved, as well as any duplication in the controls under their respective areas of competence.

11.2 HEAD OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

On 14 March 2019, on the proposal of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors itself, after having obtained a favourable opinion of the Director Responsible for the internal control and risk management system, and of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved to appoint, until revocation, Erica Vasini as Head of Internal Audit for Maire Tecnimont.

The Head of Internal Audit is not responsible for any operational area and depends hierarchically on the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, due to the competence assigned to the same, supervises, in execution of the guidelines of the Board of Directors, the activity of the Internal Audit function.

The Head of Internal Audit is responsible to verify, both continuously and in relation to specific needs and in compliance with the international standards of his profession, the operations and suitability of the internal control and risk management system through an Audit Plan approved by the Board of Directors, after consulting with Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Director Responsible for the internal control and risk management system or, pursuant to the 2020 Code, the CEO, based on a structured process of analysis and prioritization of the main risks.

During the Financial Year, the Head of Internal Audit in charge, within the scope of her activities:

  • has had direct access to the information needed for the performance of her duties;
  • has available the resources necessary to fulfil her responsibilities.

The Head of Internal Audit has prepared the periodical reports containing adequate information on his/her activities, in addition to an assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system. These reports were forwarded to the members of the Control Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, as well as the Director Responsible for the internal control and risk management system.

During the period, the Head of Internal Audit:

  • has carried out the audit tasks set forth in the annual Audit plan, approved by the Board of Directors on 05 March 2020. The support provided to the Supervisory Bodies for the execution of the testing program of the Organization, Management and Control Models pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 is an integral part of the Audit Plan. The results of these activities, included in the Internal Audit report, have been shared with the Functions involved, with which the Action Plans have been defined as regards the identified areas needing improvement and the recommendations issued. These Action Plans are subject to monitoring by the Internal Audit function through follow-up activities;
  • has supported the Supervisory Bodies in monitoring compliance with the Code of Ethics of the Group and the Organisation, Management and Control Models pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 and in carrying out assessment activities following all reports received, even if anonymous;
  • has verified, as part of the Audit Plan, the reliability of information systems including accounting systems.

11.3 ORGANISATIONAL MODEL (pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001)

Since 2006 the Board of Directors of the Company has deemed it necessary to adopt its own a Model 231, thus meeting the need to ensure fair and transparent conditions in the conduct of business and in the management of the Company's activities, especially with regard to prevention of the offences referred to in Legislative Decree 231/2001 and appointed a collegial Supervisory Body responsible for monitoring the effectiveness and adequacy of the Model, with autonomous powers of initiative and control for this purpose.

Over time, the Board has updated the Model, most recently, with a resolution dated 25 July 2019, aligning the relative text with regulatory developments regarding the administrative responsibility of entities, social responsibility and the reporting of non-financial information, also taking into account the growth of the Group.

The Model 231 consists of a "General Part"3 and a "Special Part". In the " General Part", after a brief illustration of the legal regime concerning the entity's responsibility, an illustration is provided of the tools applied to the governance and to the internal control and risk management system adopted and implemented by the Company, of the areas exposed to the predicate offences pursuant to Decree 231 ("231 Offences"), of the disciplinary system, of the functioning and duties of the Supervisory Body that must oversee the functioning and compliance with the Model, and ensure its update with all related training and communication activities. The "Special Part" contains the "Protocols", developed with reference to each area of activity that are exposed to any of the potential 231 Offences. Each "Protocol" provides a set of rules and principles of control and conduct to be adopted and implemented in order to mitigate the risk of committing the offences of administrative liability pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001. In addition, there are specific information flows to the Supervisory Body and the rules of the Supervisory Body.

The rules contained in Model 231 (General Part and Special Part) of the Company are also integrated with those of the Group Code of Ethics4 , which expresses the principles of "corporate ethics" that Maire Tecnimont recognizes as its own and for which it requires compliance by all recipients of the Code of Ethics and Model 231. The Code of Ethics, available in Italian and English language, is a single document for the entire Group and as such all companies controlled directly or indirectly by Maire Tecnimont are required to adopt it and abide by the contents.

The Supervisory Body carries out a series of analytical and functional activities for the analysis, control and updating of the Model, in addition to training activities. It carries out its activities by means of a preliminary planning of controls that it performs on an annual basis, also through the use of information flows. Every six months it prepares a report summarising the activities carried out, which it addresses to the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

With reference to the composition of the Supervisory Body, it is noted that the Board of Directors continues to deem that the functions of said body are to be conducted by a person specifically and exclusively dedicated to supervisory activities on the operation, observance

3The General Part of Model 231 of the Company is available on the website www.mairetecnimont.com, in the section "Governance - Corporate Documents".

4The Code of Ethics is available on website of www.mairetecnimont.com under section "Governance - Corporate Documents".

and updating of Model 231 and implementation within the Company, of the dictates of Decree 231. The Supervisory Body of Maire Tecnimont is collegial and consists of two external members, one of whom acts as Chair and Head of Internal Audit of the Group, experts in legal issues, economics and analysis of the corporate control system.

On 29 April 2019, the Company's Board of Directors, following the expiry of the mandate of the Supervisory Body then in office, appointed - under article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of Legislative Decree 231/2001 – as members of the Supervisory Body of the Company, Franco Rossi Galante (Chairman), Iole Anna Savini (external member) and Erica Vasini (internal member). The above composition, which includes, among others, the Head of the Internal Audit function, Erica Vasini, is already in line with Recommendation 33, letter e) of art. 6 of the Corporate Governance Code5 , aimed at ensuring coordination between the various parties involved in the internal control and risk management system. The Supervisory Body will remain in office until approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2021.

During the Financial Year, the Supervisory Body met 9 times. The meetings lasted, on average, 1 hour and were regularly minuted.

It should also be noted that also the Italian companies directly controlled by Maire Tecnimont (the so called "Sister Companies"), including Tecnimont, have adopted their own Model 231, which is updated in compliance with legislative and organisational changes, and have established their own Supervisory Body.

In 2020 Maire Tecnimont and the "Sister Companies" started the activities to update their Models 231 to the new regulations introduced on the subject of administrative liability of entities, also availing themselves of the support of an "Integrated Working Group"6 - made up of several Functions of the Parent Company - and of technical consultants specialised in this topic.

As regards the subsidiaries under Italian law, either recently established or acquired during the period, the preliminary activities for the adoption of the model continued.

In reference to the activities for the training and communication of the Model, it must be noted that, in addition to specific sessions in a classroom, for the employees of Maire Tecnimont and the Sister Companies, an on-line course is available on the e-learning platform.

5 Recommendation no. 33 letter e) of the Corporate Governance Code provides that "[...] If the body does not coincide with the Board of Statutory Auditors, the board of directors shall assess whether it is appropriate to appoint at least one non-executive director and/or one member of the Board of Statutory Auditors and/or the holder of the company's legal or control functions, in order to ensure coordination between the various parties involved in the internal control and risk management system".

6 The Integrated Work Group consists of Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance – Legal Affairs & Contracts – Group Organization, ICT & System Quality – Group HSE, Project Quality & Risk Management – Internal Audit.

In order to further strengthen the principles of conduct, monitoring and control already adopted by the Group to prevent corruption offences, during the 2020 financial year the Company also started, with the support of a law firm and involving the competent corporate Functions, the activities for the preparation of a Group Anti-Corruption policy. The Maire Tecnimont Group Anti-Corruption Policy also aims at providing a systematic framework of reference for the anti-corruption principles and rules of conduct that Maire Tecnimont Group intends to pursue.

11.4 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Shareholders' Meeting held on 15 December 2015 resolved to appoint, upon proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors and with effect from the approval of the annual financial statements at 31 December 2015, the Independent Auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. as the legal auditor of the account for the 2016-2024 Financial Years (i.e. the "Appointed Auditor").

Therefore, since the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 26 April 2016, which approved the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2015, the appointment for the legal audit of the Company's accounts is assigned to PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A., which also performs the legal audit of the accounts of the other Group companies.

On 06 March 2018, the Board of Directors resolved to appoint the same auditing firm, as "Designated Auditor", to audit the compliance of the "Non-Financial Statement" pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/2016.

11.5 EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL REPORTS AND OTHER COMPANY'S ROLES AND FUNCTIONS

In compliance with the provisions of article 154-bis of the CFA and in accordance with the relevant appointment methods envisaged in article 23 of the Company By-laws, on 29 April 2019 the Board of Directors, after receiving a favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, confirmed Dario Michelangeli, Administration and Financial Statements Vice President of Maire Tecnimont, in the capacity of the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports, as already appointed to this office in the previous mandates.

At the time of appointment, the Board of Directors vested the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports with all the powers and means necessary to exercise the tasks assigned to him.

It should be remembered that article 23 of the Issuer's By-laws establish that the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports shall be appointed by the Board of Directors, following compulsory consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors. Should the Board of Directors deviate from said opinion, it must justify its decision. Furthermore, in accordance with the Company By-laws the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports must have an experience of at least three years in administration, finance and control and must fulfil the integrity requirements envisaged for Directors.

11.6 COORDINATION BETWEEN SUBJECTS INVOLVED IN THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

First, in line with as recommended by the 2018 Code and, starting in the financial year 2021, the Company distinguished roles and responsibilities of those involved in the internal control and risk management system, in order to optimize interaction between them and maximize efficiency of said system, avoiding duplication of work within their respective areas of activities and competence and duplication of controls.

As already mentioned in paragraph 11.1 of this Report, the Company in May 2018 has also established, with advisory duties, at the service of the Director Responsible for the internal control and risk management system, the SCIR Committee which is responsible to support the corporate functions involved in the internal control and risk management system, optimising the respective processes of competence and liaising with the Group's organisational structure, in line with the Company's strategic objectives.

Maire Tecnimont supported the corporate bodies involved in the internal control and risk management system (Board of Directors, Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, Board of Statutory Auditors and the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports) with duties and responsibilities prescribed by laws and regulations, some corporate functions (Group HSE, Project Quality & Risk Management, Internal Audit, Group General Counsel, Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance, the Sustainability Reporting function, the Financial Controls function and the System Quality function), which form a stable part of the organizational structure. These functions operated in an integrated and interdependent manner, also under the scope of the SCIR Committee of which they are members, periodically reporting the results of their activities to the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, permanently involving the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Chief Executive Officer, also as Director Responsible for the internal control and risk management

system, the Group Chief Financial Officer, the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports and the Head of the Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance.

On a half-yearly basis, on the occasion of the approval of the Half-Yearly Financial Report and the Annual Financial Report, the representatives of the Appointed Auditor and the Maire Tecnimont Supervisory Body are also invited to the meetings of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, where they present the results of their control activities.

Moreover, with specific reference to the obligations to disclose non-financial information, as already mentioned in Section 10 of this Report, it should be noted that, in order to define roles, responsibilities, management and control methods of the reporting activities for the preparation of the "Sustainability Report", containing the "Non-financial Statement", the Company has issued the "Reporting procedure and internal control for the process of preparing the Sustainability Report ".

This Procedure has, in particular, the objective of establishing and maintaining a solid and reliable data collection and consolidation system for the preparation of the "Sustainability Report", with which Maire Tecnimont intends to ensure to its stakeholders non-financial information aimed at understanding the Group's performance and the impact of its activities. The procedure, also following the creation of the Group Sustainability Function during the Year, was updated by the Company's Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee.

The subjects involved with different responsibilities and roles in the reporting and internal control activities during the preparation process of the "Sustainability Budget" include: the Board of Directors, which is responsible to guarantee that the Declaration of a non-financial nature is drawn up and published in compliance with Legislative Decree 254/16 and the Consob Regulation implementing Legislative Decree 254/2016; the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors which, within the scope of the functions assigned to it by the Regulations, is responsible for ensuring compliance with Legislative Decree 254/16 and the Consob Regulation implementing Legislative Decree 254/2016, the Internal Sustainability Committee, the Sustainability Reporting Function, the Group Sustainability Function, for the part under its responsibility, the Competent Functions and the Designated Auditor.

Additional opportunities for exchange of information flows are represented by the meetings between the bodies and audit functions, organized by the Board of Statutory Auditors, which may be attended from time to time by the Group General Counsel, the Heads of Group HSE, the Project Quality & Risk Management, the Internal Audit and Group Corporate Affairs, the Governance & Compliance, the representatives of the Independent Auditors and the

Designated Auditor, the members of the Supervisory Body pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and the Reporting procedure and internal control for the process of preparing the Sustainability Report.

At least annually, a meeting is also held between the Supervisory Body of the Company and the Supervisory Bodies of the Sister Companies, in order to achieve an overall view of the efficiency of the internal control and risk management system.

The Chairman of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee is the liaison with the Board of Directors reporting to the same, continuously, on the findings of the preliminary investigation of the Committee formulated based on the information from time to time received by the parties involved in various capacities in oversight of the internal control and risk management system.

At least once a year, the Board of Directors approves the Audit Plan prepared by the Head of Internal Audit, after consulting with the Statutory Auditors and the Director Responsible of the internal control and risk management system.

The subjects involved in the internal control and risk management system, therefore, constantly operate in a coordinated and integrated manner with each other within the Company general organizational, administrative and accounting structure, with the shared goal of maximizing the efficiency of the system, to ensure the safeguarding of assets and the effectiveness of Company's processes and procedures, and to ensure the reliability of financial and non-financial information, as well as the assumption of decisions, by the Board of Directors.

Moreover, in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic emergency, the frequency of meetings and opportunities for meetings and coordination between the Company's various Board of Statutory Auditors was further intensified during the Financial Year, in order to monitor and assess the evolution of the risks underlying the contingent situation as well as the measures adopted by the Company for the purpose of managing the containment of such risks.

12. DIRECTORS' INTERESTS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In compliance with the provisions of the Consob Related-Party Regulations7 , the Board of Directors of the Company approved on 14 March 2018, an internal procedure for the

7 The Consob Related-Party Regulation was adopted with Consob resolution no. 17221 of 12.3.2010. It was most recently amended with Consob resolution no.21624 of 10 December 2020. The changes introduced to the Consob Related Parties Regulation will be effective from 1 July 2021.

management of Related-Party Transactions (the "Procedure"), available on the web site of the Issuer www.mairetecnimont.com, in the section "Governance" - "Corporate Documents".

As previously indicated in Section 4.3 of this Report, it should be noted that, following the publication of Consob Resolution No. 21624 of 10 December 2020 concerning the amendments to the Consob Related Party Regulation which will come into force as of 01 July 2021, the Company, availing itself of the transitional regime provided for this purpose, has started the activities necessary to adapt the Procedure for the Management of Related Parties Transactions to the new provisions of the Consob Related Party Regulation.

The Related-Party Committee Regulation, most recently approved by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2019 and for which the Related-Party Committee approved its adoption, governs its function and, specifically, its constitution, composition and duration (including the replacement of members who have stood down from office), identifying its functions and regulating the convening and events of meetings.

The Procedure is applied in relation to Related-Party Transactions (the concept of which is described in the relevant definitions of the Consob Related-Party Regulation, expressly referred to by the Procedure) implemented directly by the Company or through its subsidiaries.

In particular, the Procedure identifies the procedure applicable to two categories of Related Party Transactions: (i) Significant Related-Party Transactions (identified based on the criteria indicated in the Consob Related-Party Regulation) and (ii) Minor Related-Party Transactions (the concept of which is identified in the Consob Related-Party Regulation), envisaging specific provisions in relation to the initiation and approval of the same.

In compliance with the provisions of article 8 ("Procedures for significant Related-Party Transactions for companies adopting traditional and one-tier administration and control systems") of the Consob Related-Party Regulation, Significant Transactions may only be approved by the Board of Directors, and the involvement of the Related-Party Committee is also envisaged. In particular, the Related-Party Committee shall express its justified binding opinion on the Company's interest in the execution of each Significant Transaction as well as on the substantial fairness and convenience of the relevant conditions. Pursuant to art. 3, paragraph 12, should the Related-Party Committee express an opinion against the implementation of Significant Transaction, such transaction shall not be approved by the Board of Directors and, consequently, shall not be implemented. The rules of the Procedure do not establish for Significant Transactions for which the shareholders' meeting is competent that, in the event of a negative opinion of the Related-Party Committee, they may be authorised by the Shareholders' Meeting if the majority of "voting non-related shareholders"

do not rule against the transaction (referred to as a "whitewash" in the Shareholders' Meeting).

On the other hand, with regard to Minor Transactions, these may be approved by the body (CEO, Board of Directors, Shareholders' Meeting) qualified by law or by the Company By-laws to adopt the relevant decision. It is also envisaged that prior to approval of the transaction, the Related-Party Committee expresses a justified (non-binding) opinion on the Company's interest in the transaction completion as well as on the substantial fairness and convenience of the conditions envisaged.

Should Minor Transactions be approved despite the negative non-binding opinion of the Related-Party Committee, the circumstances should be disclosed, within fifteen days from the closure of each quarter, in an Information Document containing an indication of the Minor Transactions approved in the quarter of reference along with the negative non-binding opinion expressed by the Related-Party Committee, that shall be annexed to said document.

Each quarter, specific subsequent disclosure obligations requirements are envisaged for the CEO vis-a-vis the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors on the execution of both Minor and Significant Transactions.

It is also envisaged that the Board of Directors has the right to adopt framework resolutions regarding numerous very similar transactions in relation to (i) transactions involving the supply of property, and (ii) the delivery of services, including consultancy services, in compliance with the provisions envisaged in article 12 of Consob Related- Party Regulation.

The Procedure envisages certain exemptions from its application, identified on the basis of the provisions of Consob Related-Party Regulation, including:

  • Shareholders' Meeting resolutions regarding fees payable to Board members and resolutions regarding the remuneration of Directors covering particular offices (as per article 2389, paragraph 3, of the civil code and article 19 of the company By-laws);
  • Transactions of Insignificant Amount (as defined in the Procedure);
  • Ordinary Transactions completed under Conditions Equivalent to Market Conditions or Standard Conditions (as defined in the Procedure based on the provisions of Regulation 17221/2010);
  • Shareholders' Meeting resolutions relating to remuneration for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors (pursuant to article 2402 of the Civil Code);
  • Intragroup transactions or Transactions with or between subsidiaries, also jointly, in addition to those with affiliated companies, if there are no Significant Influence in the subsidiaries or affiliated companies counterparties of the transaction (as defined in the Procedure), of other related parties of Maire Tecnimont.

It is hereby specified that the Procedure envisages, both with reference to the approval of Significant Transactions and with reference to Minor Transactions (falling under the Board of Directors' competence), that the Directors shall be informed about any interest (even indirect) of the members of the corporate bodies in such transactions. The Minor Transactions falling under the competence of the CEO who is holding an interest, even on behalf of third parties, shall remain under the Board's competence. Moreover, if in relation to a Significant Transaction or a Minor Transaction any one member the Related-Party Committee may not be qualified as "Non-Related Director" (as defined in the Procedure) with respect to any given transaction, the functions pertaining to the Related-Party Committee are performed by the two other members of the Related-Party Committee, who shall adopt a unanimous decision. In the event that two members of the Related-Party Committee may not be qualified as "Non-Related Directors" (as defined in the Procedure) with respect to the transaction in question, the functions pertaining to the Related-Party Committee shall be performed by the nonrelated member of the Related-Party Committee. For lack thereof, the opinion will be given by an independent expert appointed by the Board of Directors (equivalent supervision).

Over the course of the financial year, there have been no significant transactions with related parties.

The Related-Party Committee and its duties

The Related Party Committee currently in office was appointed by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2019, following the Shareholders' Meeting, and will remain in office until approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2021.

In particular, the Board of Directors confirmed the previous composition of the Related Party Committee, which therefore consists of the following members: Gabriella Chersicla, as Committee Chairwoman, Andrea Pellegrini and Patrizia Riva. All members of the Committee are Independent Non-Executive Directors, as required by Consob's Related-Party Regulation.

In accordance with article 3 of the Procedure, the Related-Party Committee:

  • a) carries out its duties in accordance with the provisions of current legislation, the Procedure, Consob Related Party Regulation and Consob Communication no. DEM/10078683 of 24 September 2010, specifically:
  • (i) it can suggest that the Board of Directors make changes or supplement the Procedure;
  • (ii) it has the faculty to request clarifications and additional information;
  • (iii) it expresses grounded opinions on the Company's interest and, where applicable, on those of the companies it directly and/or indirectly controls involved - in the

implementation of Related-Party Transactions, whether Significant or Minor Transactions, expressing an opinion on the convenience and substantial correctness of the conditions envisaged, upon receipt of suitable, prompt information;

b) reports to the Board at least once every six months, during approval of the annual and half-year Financial Reports on its work, also on the basis of the information received from the competent offices of the Company.

During the year, the Related-Party Committee met 3 times, on 10 March, 21 May and 28 July 2020. The meetings of the Related-Party Committee lasted in average 30 minutes and were regularly minuted. The Chair of the Related-Party Committee regularly provided information to the first Board of Directors on the activities of the Committee and on the issues covered in each meeting of the same.

The Board of Statutory Auditors regularly took part in the meetings of the Related-Party Committee.

For 2021, 2 meetings of the Related-Party Committee are scheduled, one of which was already held on 09 March 2021.

13. APPOINTMENT OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

The Board of Statutory Auditors is appointed by the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with article 21 of the Company By-laws in compliance with the provisions of article 148 of the CFA and the relevant implementing provisions as per articles 144-quinquies and following of the Issuers' Regulation.

In particular, article 21 of the Maire Tecnimont By-Laws envisages that Statutory Auditors be appointed based on lists consisting of two sections: one for candidates for the role of Standing Statutory Auditor, the other for candidates for the role of Alternate Statutory Auditor, where candidates are listed by a progressive number. The lists can be presented by the Shareholders who possess, individually or jointly, at least 2% (two percent) of the shares entitled to vote at the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, or any other threshold of participation required by the regulations issued by Consob. In this respect, it shall be noted that such shareholding threshold determined by Consob for the Issuer, pursuant to article 144-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, with Managerial Resolution of the Corporate Governance Department Managers, no. 44 of 29 January 2021, is equal to 2.5%.

Lists, signed by those who submit them, must be filed at the Company's registered office at least twenty five days before that set for the Shareholders' Meeting, together with: (i) information relating to the identity of the shareholders presenting them, indicating the total

percentage of shareholding held and certification attesting to the ownership of said shareholding (it being understood that, in compliance with the provisions of article 147-ter, paragraph 1-bis, of the CFA, said certification may also be produced after the list has been deposited, provided it is within the deadline envisaged for publication of the same); (ii) declarations by means of which the individual candidates accept their nomination and certify, on their own responsibility, that there are no grounds for incompatibility and that they are in possession of the requirements envisaged in the current regulations; (iii) a curriculum vitae relating to the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates, indicating their administration and control roles in other companies; and (iv) a statement of the shareholders other than those who hold, even jointly, a controlling shareholding or relative majority shareholding, certifying the absence of any relationship pursuant to article 144-quinquies of the Consob Issuers' Regulations.

Pursuant to article 20 of the By-laws, the Board of Statutory Auditors must be composed of 3 (three) Standing Statutory Auditors and 3 (three) Alternate Statutory Auditors.

Additionally, in order to ensure gender balance in the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the By-laws, art. 21 sets out provisions similar to those for the appointment of the Board of Directors. The Company, availing itself of the powers attributed to the Board of Directors by Article 15 of the By-Laws on the subject of adapting the By-Laws to regulatory provisions, will adopt the new rules on gender balance in the By-Laws in time to allow the definition and presentation of the lists of candidates for the position of Statutory Auditor and the consequent appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with it (in this regard, refer to paragraph 4.1 above).

The procedure for appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors, governed by article 21 of the By-laws, provides the Standing Statutory Auditors will be elected from the first two candidates from the list obtaining the highest number of votes ("Majority List") and the first candidate from the list obtaining the second highest number of votes ("Minority List") and which has been submitted by shareholders who are not related, even indirectly, to the shareholders who submitted or voted the Majority List, and this candidate will also be appointed Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors. the first two alternate candidates of the Majority List and the first alternate candidate of the Minority List shall be elected Alternate Statutory Auditors.

In the case in which several lists have obtained the same number of votes, a new vote among these lists by all those present at the Shareholders' Meeting - and entitled to vote - shall take place; the candidates on the list which obtains the simple majority of votes shall be elected.

If the manner described above does not ensure the composition of the Board of Directors, in its Standing members, in compliance with applicable provisions regarding the balance

between genders, there must be, among the candidates for the office of Standing Statutory Auditor of the Majority List, the necessary replacements, according to the sequential order in which candidates are listed.

In the event of death, resignation or disqualification of a Standing Statutory Auditor from office, the same shall be replaced until the next Shareholders' Meeting, by the first Alternate Statutory Auditor belonging to the same list of the Statutory Auditor being replaced, that shall ensure compliance with the applicable provisions concerning the balance between genders.

In the event of replacement of the Chairman, the chair shall be taken, until the next Shareholders' Meeting, by the alternate member taken from the Minority List.

In the event of presentation of a single list or in the event of a tie between two or more lists, the Chairman is replaced, until the next Shareholders' Meeting, by the first Standing Statutory Auditor belonging to the list of the withdrawn Chairman.

If with the Alternate Statutory Auditors cannot complete the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Shareholders' Meeting must be convened to appoint, with the legal majorities and in accordance with legislation and regulations, additional members to the Board of Statutory Auditors.

In particular:

  • if it is necessary to replace the (i) Standing Statutory Auditor and/or the Chair or (ii) the Alternate Statutory Auditor taken from the Minority List, the unelected candidates listed in the same Minority List shall be proposed for the position, regardless of the section in which their names were listed and the individual that obtains the highest number of votes in favour shall be elected;
  • in the absence of candidates to be proposed according the preceding paragraph and in the event Standing Statutory Auditors and/or Alternate Statutory Auditors taken from the Majority List need to be replaced, the provisions of the Civil Code apply and the Shareholders' Meeting decides by a majority of votes.

It remains understood that, in any case of replacement, the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must comply with the regulation in force on gender balance.

Should lists of candidates for the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors not be submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting shall proceed with the appointment based on the ordinary law provisions and without list voting.

14. COMPOSITION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

(pursuant to article 123- bis, paragraph 2, letters d) and d- bis), CFA)

Statutory Auditors remain in office for three financial years until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements relating to the third year of their office term.

Article 21 of the By-laws envisages that the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors must comply with the regulation in force on balance between genders.

In compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions governing said matter, the appointment of Statutory Auditors depends on their compliance with the maximum number of offices held, without prejudice to their duty to inform Consob and to resign from one or more offices where said limits have been exceeded.

The current Board of Statutory Auditors of Maire Tecnimont was appointed by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2019 and shall remain in office until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021. Its members are: Francesco Fallacara (Chairman), Giorgio Loli and Antonia Di Bella (Standing Statutory Auditors), as well as Massimiliano Leoni, Alessandra Conte and Andrea Lorenzatti (Alternate Statutory Auditors). All the Statutory Auditors (Standing and Alternate) also held the same office in the previous term of office, with the exception of Alessandra Conte (Roberta Provasi was an Alternate Auditor until April 29, 2019).

Three lists were submitted to the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2019 for the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The Standing Statutory Auditors, Giorgio Loli and Antonia Di Bella as well as the Alternate Statutory Auditors Massimiliano Leoni and Alessandra Conte were elected from the list submitted by the shareholder GLV Capital, which obtained the favourable vote of 350,892,019 shares, accounting for 83.33% of the shares in attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting (the "Majority List"). It should be noted that among the candidates on the Majority List was also Andrea Marrocco as candidate for the office of Standing Statutory Auditor as well as Alessandra Conte and Andrea Bonelli as candidates for the office of Alternate Statutory Auditors.

The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, Francesco Fallacara, and the Alternate Statutory Auditor Andrea Lorenzatti were appointed from the list submitted jointly by the Shareholders Arca Fondi SGR S.p.A., manager of the funds Arca Azioni Italia and Arca Economia Reale Bilanciato Italia 30; Eurizon Capital SGR S.p.A., manager of the following funds: Eurizon progetto Italia 20, Eurizon pir Italia 30, Eurizon progetto Italia 70, Eurizon

This List obtained the favourable vote of 9,935,692 shares, equal to 3.023% of the shares attending the Shareholders' Meeting (the "First Minority List"). It is stated that the First Minority List did not include other candidates for the office of Standing Statutory Auditor and Alternate Statutory Auditor of the Company.

An additional Minority List (the "Second Minority List") was submitted by the shareholder INARCASSA, owner of a total 4,464,888 shares of Maire Tecnimont, with no par value, equal to 1.36% of the shares with voting rights.

The three lists submitted to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2019 for the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors are available on the web site of the Company (www.mairetecnimont.com, Section "Governance" – "Shareholders' Meeting Documents" – "2019").

As from the date of closure of the Financial Year, none of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors has resigned nor have there been any changes in the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

As regards the meetings (within the so-called "Induction Session" programs) with the Directors and the Statutory Auditors, recommended by the Code 2018 as well as, beginning in financial year 2021, by the Corporate Governance Code, and aimed at providing them with adequate knowledge of the sector of activity in which the Company and the Group operate, business dynamics and their evolution, the principles of proper risk management as well as the regulatory and self-regulatory reference framework, reference is made to the section of the Report on the Board of Directors (Section 4.2, paragraph "Induction Programme").

8 Total shareholding was therefore recalculated following the non-submission, within the legal terms, by Fideuram Asset Management (Ireland) – Fonditalia Equity Italy, of the communication/certificate concerning the ownership, as at 4 April 2019, of 365,000 shares corresponding to 0.111% of the shares with voting rights in its favour.

The remuneration of the members of Board of Statutory Auditors is commensurate to the commitment required, the importance of the role as well as the dimensional and sectoral characteristics and the company.

The composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors is adequate to ensure the independence and professionalism of its function. For further information relating to the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, reference is made to Table 3 annexed to this Report.

In compliance with the provisions of article 144-decies of the Issuer's Regulation, the personal and professional characteristics of each Statutory Auditor are indicated in Annex "B" hereto.

In 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors met on 19 occasions and the meetings lasted on average one hour and 5 minutes.

The Board of Statutory Auditors has scheduled 16 meetings for 2021. At the date of approval of the Report, the Board of Statutory Auditors had met 6 times, respectively on 15 February 2021, 24 February 2021, 03 March 2021, 04 March 2021, 09 March 2021 and 10 March 2021. Following the Shareholders' Meeting that appointed it, the Board of Statutory Auditors has verified the independence of its members (in accordance with the criteria laid down by art. 148, paragraph 3 of the Consolidated Finance Act, of the Application Criteria 8.C.1 of the 2018 Code) and carried out the periodic assessment of these requirements on 12 December 2019. Following the adhesion to the New Code by the Company, the responsibility for this verification was confirmed to the Board of Statutory Auditors which, most recently, on 15 February 2021 ascertained that its members continued to meet the independence requirements, applying all the criteria set out in article 148, paragraph 3 of the Consolidated Finance Act and the New Code. On 03 March 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors submitted to the Board of Directors the results of the periodic verifications of the permanence of the independence requirements of its members for the latter to outline them in the Report, in a manner consistent with as envisaged for Directors.

With regard to the verification carried out on the continued existence of the independence requirements of the Standing Statutory Auditor Giorgio Loli, now in his fifth term as a member of the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors, also in order to comply with the provisions of recommendation 10, article 2 of the New Code, it is hereby stated that, with reference to the circumstances envisaged in letter e) of recommendation 7 of article 2 of the New Code, also applicable to members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Statutory Auditors has assessed the statements made by the person concerned, also taking into account his position and individual characteristics.

More specifically, the Board of Statutory Auditors - while confirming that Giorgio Loli still meets the independence requirements required by law and by self-regulatory provisions believes that the assumption provided for by the New Code, mentioned above, concerning the

lack of independence requirements, can be overcome, in view of the formal and factual reasons provided by Giorgio Loli to safeguard the integrity and objectivity of the Auditor's work.

The "Rules of conduct governing boards of statutory auditors of listed companies" issued by the National Board of Accountants and Auditors (the "Rules of Conduct") state that the Board of Statutory Auditors is required to carry out, after its appointment and subsequently with annual frequency, an evaluation about its own performance as regards the planning of its activities, the suitability of its members, the adequate composition of the body in terms of requirements of professionalism, competence, integrity and independence as well as adequate available time and resources proportionate to the complexity of the tasks (the "Self evaluation"), the results of which must be subject to specific disclosure in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure pursuant to article 123-bis of Legislative Decree 1998/58.

The Self-evaluation for the year was carried out through specific questionnaires prepared by the Group Corporate Affairs, Governance & Compliance function of the Company which, in determining the adequacy of the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors took into consideration the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code.

The profiles subject to evaluation by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors were the following: (i) evaluation of their performance as regards the planning of their activities; (ii) functioning and climate within the Board of Statutory Auditors, role of the Board of Statutory Auditors and interactions with the Appointed Auditor and the Designated Auditor, the corporate control functions, the supervisory bodies and the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the Company and the subsidiaries; (iii) adequacy of the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, also in terms of independence and diversity, and their professional expertise; (iv) Self evaluation of the individual Statutory Auditors.

The results from the Self-evaluation for the year were preliminarily reviewed by the afore indicated Function of the Company, shared in an aggregate form with the Board of Statutory Auditors which, in compliance with the provisions of the Rules of Conduct, kept a record of the Self evaluation process and the formalisation of its results in the "Self-evaluation Report" drawn up by the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Self-evaluation Report").

The results of the Self evaluation for the year provided a very positive picture, not identifying any critical issues as regards the performance and planning of its activities, its functioning and the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, also in terms of the professional profiles of its members.

In particular, as regards the evaluation of the performance of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the planning of its activities, a very positive evaluation was expressed regarding: i) the planning of its activities which took into account, with reference to the activities carried out during the financial year, the recommendations of the 2018 Code and of the Conduct Rules and ii) the effective and timely supervisory activities carried out on transactions of particular importance for the Company and the Group based on which the Board of Statutory Auditors requested, when needed, some additional information from the Executive Directors, the corporate management and the control functions of the Company.

As regards the functioning and the climate of the Board of Statutory Auditors, its role in interacting with the Independent Auditor, the control corporate functions, the supervisory bodies and the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the Companies and of the subsidiaries, a positive judgement was expressed about: i) the climate of the meetings was evaluated as open and positive and characterised by the willingness to share opinions, even divergent ones, with the other members; ii) collaboration and team spirit characterises the performance of the Board of Statutory Auditors; iii) the relationships with the functions of the Company (and in particular with the Control functions), with the Appointed Auditor and the Designated Auditor who allow the Statutory Auditors to acquire the information they need for the fulfilment of their control obligations; iv) the support provided by the Company's functions (and, in particular, the Control functions), was evaluated as effective also thanks to the direct participation in the meetings and the detailed information and clarifications provided on specific topics; v) the meetings with the Appointed Auditor and the Designated Auditor, in particular for an exchange of information during the auditing/assurance process related to the reports/certifications under their respective areas of competence, which were deemed by the Statutory Auditors as adequate in terms of frequency, duration and informative content; vi) analysis activities carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors as regards the additional Report issued by the Independent Auditors pursuant to article 11 of the Regulation 537/2014 and, in particular, any areas needing improvements contained therein and vii) the meetings with the Board of Statutory Auditors of the subsidiaries for an exchange of information between the control bodies regarding their administrative and control systems as well as the general performance of the Company, pursuant to article 151, paragraph 2 of CFA which, during the financial year, were regularly and effectively kept.

A positive judgement was also expressed by the Statutory Auditors regarding: i) the agenda of the meetings which were consistent with the scheduled control activities, adequate also compared with the time spent on discussion and sufficiently clear; ii) the materials requested by the Board of Statutory Auditors for carrying out control activities under their areas of responsibility, which are deemed to be complete, clear and exhaustive; iii) the method for the distribution of and access to the materials intended for the meetings of the Committees and

the Board of Directors of the Company – in which the Board participates so as to perform the control activities under its area of responsibility – which guarantee an adequate usability and confidentiality thereof; iv) regular participation of the Statutory Auditors in the meetings and time dedicated to the performance of their duties were deemed to be adequate for the diligent fulfilment of their tasks and v) exchange of information with the Supervisory Bodies pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 of the Company and the subsidiaries, was deemed to be adequate in terms of frequency, duration and informative content.

With reference to the adequacy of the Board of Statutory Auditors composition and professional competences, a positive judgement was also expressed as regards the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, deemed to be balanced and diversified, also in terms of professional competences and diversity in gender, professional training and age. The Board of Statutory Auditors, confirming that it performs a self- evaluation on the adequacy of its composition also in quantitative-qualitative terms, believes that the Board of Statutory Auditors is effectively using its professional expertise and the experience of its members.

As regards the Self-evaluation of the individual Statutory Auditors, all members of the Board of Statutory Auditors: i) declare to dedicate a sufficient amount of time to the performance of their duties in the Company; ii) believe that the positions currently held outside of Maire Tecnimont enable them to effectively perform their roles, dedicating the time necessary for their tasks; iii) consider it professionally stimulating to be part of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company and iv) declare to be aware of the obligations and responsibilities inherent to their role. The Statutory Auditors, overall, believe to be knowledgeable of the activities, the organisation and internal control and risk management system of the Company and the Group.

The Board of Statutory Auditors attends all Committee meetings, meets regularly with the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the subsidiaries and with the Supervisory Body of Maire Tecnimont.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, in carrying out its activities, receives regular information from the Functions of the Company responsible for the management of the internal control and risk management system (including the Head of Internal Audit) and attends meetings of the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee, to which it is invited on a permanent basis. The methods of coordination between the parties involved in various capacities in the internal control and risk management system of the Company are described in paragraph 11.6 of this Report, to which reference is made.

The Board of Statutory Auditors meets regularly for mutual exchange of information with representatives of the Appointed Auditor and Designated Auditor, the members of the

Supervisory Body pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and the Executive Responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports.

The Board of Directors of the Company, in the meeting of 10 March 2021, confirmed not to have assigned to the Board of Statutory Auditors the duties of Supervisory Body in accordance with Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 with the understanding that these functions must be performed by a subject specifically and exclusively dedicated to supervisory activities as regards the functioning, compliance with and update of the Model and implementation within the scope of the Company of the provisions under Decree 231.

It is recalled that Decree 231, as most recently amended by Italian Legislative Decree no. 135/2016, assigns to the Board of Statutory Auditors the functions of internal control committee and financial auditing which, in particular, is responsible for:

  • informing the competent body of the results of the legal audit and sending to said body the additional report pursuant to article 11 of Regulation no. 537/2014, accompanied by any comments;
  • monitoring the financial reporting process and presenting recommendations or proposals aimed at guaranteeing its integrity;
  • monitoring the effectiveness of the internal quality control and risk management systems of the company and, where applicable, of the Internal Audit, as regards the financial information of the audited entity, without violating its independence;
  • monitoring the legal audit of the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements, also taking into account any results and conclusions of the quality controls performed by Consob pursuant to article 26, paragraph 6, of Regulation no. 537/2014, where available;
  • to verify and monitor the independence of the legally-required auditors or auditing firms pursuant to articles 10, 10-bis, 10-ter, 10-quater and 17 of Legislative Decree 39/2010 and article 6 of Regulation no. 537/2014, in particular as regards the adequacy of the provision of services other than the audit of the entity subject to it, in compliance with article 5 of this regulation;
  • being responsible for the procedure for the selection of Independent Auditors or auditing firms and recommending Independent Auditors or auditing firms to be appointed pursuant to article 16 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014.

For further details on the activities performed during the Year by the Board of Statutory Auditors, reference is made to the report on the supervisory activity of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Diversity policies and criteria

With specific reference to the "diversity criteria", already reflected in the current composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors and deriving from the application of the regulatory provisions and self regulation, it must be noted that: (i) a Standing Statutory Auditor and an Alternate Statutory Auditor belong to the less represented gender, in accordance with the legislation on balance between genders; (ii) without prejudice to the requirements of professionalism required by law, the training and professional development of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors currently in office guarantees the appropriate skills to ensure the correct performance of the functions assigned to it.

It should also be noted that the Board of Directors, in the meeting held on 14 March 2019, in view of the Shareholders' Meeting convened for 29 April 2019 for the renewal of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three years 2019-2021, defined, upon consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors and in compliance with the provisions of the Self-Regulatory Code and due consideration of the results of the self-assessment of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the financial year 2018, guidance as to the composition of the auditing body, also in respect of diversity criteria such as age, gender balance and training and professional experience (the "Diversity Criteria and Policies of the Board of Statutory Auditors").

The Board of Statutory Auditors Diversity Criteria and Policies have been included in the Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors in the Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2019, drawn up pursuant to article 125-ter of the CFA and related to the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three year period 2019-2021, made available to the public on the web site of the Company (www.mairetecnimont.com, section "Governance" – "Shareholders (shareholders' Meeting Documents)" - "2019").

On 11 March 2020, and most recently on 10 March 2021, the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors, confirmed the "Diversity Criteria and Policies of the Board of Statutory Auditors" to be applied to the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The Criteria and Policies applicable to the Board of Statutory Auditors on Diversity provide that, also in order to improve the understanding of the Company's organisation and of its activities, as well as for the development of an effective corporate governance, notwithstanding the law requirements applied to professionalism and gender balance: (a) the Board of Statutory Auditors is made up of different aged members; and (b) the training and professional experience of the Statutory Auditors can guarantee a balanced combination of profiles and experience, both nationally and abroad, able to ensure the correct fulfilment of all the controls assigned to the competence of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

18. CHANGES AFTER THE CLOSURE OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR OF REFERENCE

From the end of the Year, there no changes to be reported.

19. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LETTER OF 22 DECEMBER 2020 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The letter from the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of 22 December 2020 was sent on the same date to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company.

Said letter was brought to the attention of the Risk Control and Sustainability Control Committee on 10 February 2021, the Remuneration Committee on 11 February 2021 and the Board of Directors on 11 February 2021.

As indicated in Section 4.3 of this Report, the questionnaires for the Board Evaluation for the year also took into consideration the recommendations made in the aforementioned letter.

The first recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee is on the management of sustainability issues in business activities and, specifically: "the Committee invites the Board of Directors to integrate the sustainability of corporate activities into the definition of the strategies, the internal control and risk management system and the remuneration policy, also based on a relevance analysis of the factors that may impact the generation of value in the long term".

The Board of directors, having consulted the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee as regards the matters under its responsibility, in the meeting held on 11 February 2021 noted full compliance and concrete application of the aforesaid recommendation, having already integrated sustainability indicators in the previous financial year both in the Business Plan and in the remuneration policies and having already attributed, as from 2018, specific responsibilities also on relevant sustainability issues to the Risk Control and Sustainability Committee.

More information is available, as regards the Business Plan 2021-2025, in the Sustainability Report 2020, including the Non-Financial Statements pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/2016 and as regards the remuneration policies, in the Report on the 2020 Policy regarding Remuneration and fees paid.

The second recommendation from the Committee regards the reporting to the Board of Directors, more specifically: "the Committee invites the boards of directors to: i) explicitly determine the deadlines deemed appropriate for sending the documentation; ii) provide a clear indication in the corporate governance report of the deadlines identified and on their effective compliance; iii) not provide that these deadlines can be waived for mere confidentiality reasons.".

The Board of Directors, in the meeting of 11 February 2021, has expressed its full approval of the afore-mentioned recommendation agreeing on the importance of a correct, complete and timely information flow toward the corporate bodies, about which the Company continues to guarantee its utmost commitment and attention. Confidentiality is guaranteed with the use, by the Company, of an electronic platform dedicated to Directors and Auditors for the transmission of the necessary documentation prior to the meetings and to the internal committees. As already indicated in paragraph 4.3 of this Report, the recommendations under article 3, recommendation 11, of the New Code will be assessed during the 2021 financial year

as part of the activities aimed at aligning Maire Tecnimont's corporate governance system to the Corporate Governance Code. The decisions that will be taken in this regard will be disclosed in the Corporate Governance and Share Ownership Report that will be made available to the public during the 2022 financial year.

With the third recommendation, the Corporate Governance Committee invites the Boards of Directors to ensure a concrete and full application of the independence criteria recommended by the Code and more specifically: "the Committee invites the Board of Directors to: i) always justify on an individual basis the possible non-application of one or more independence criteria; ii) define ex-ante the quantitative and/or qualitative criteria to be used to assess the significance of the relationships under examination.".

The Board, at the meeting of 11 February 2021, has highlighted the attention placed by the Corporate Governance Committee, in general, on the independence of the Directors and, more specifically, on the application suggestions in terms of the importance of the relationships subject to evaluation for the purpose of independence certification. As already indicated in paragraph 4.6 of this Report, the recommendations under article 2, recommendation 7 of the New Code on the predetermination of quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess the materiality of the relationships under letters c) and d) of the same recommendation will be assessed during the year 2021 as part of the activities aimed at aligning Maire Tecnimont's corporate governance system to the Corporate Governance Code. The decisions that will be taken in this regard will be disclosed in the Corporate Governance and Share Ownership Report that will be made available to the public during the 2022 financial year.

The fourth recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee relates to the selfassessment of the Board of Directors and, specifically: "the Committee invites the directors to: assess the contribution of the board to the definition of strategic plans, oversee the board review process.". With reference to this recommendation, reference should be made to the provisions already illustrated in this Report and, in particular, to the provisions indicated in paragraph 4.3.

The Corporate Governance Committee's fifth recommendation relates to the appointment and succession of directors and, specifically: "the Committee invites the Board of Directors to: i) provide a timely account of the activities carried out by the nomination committee in the event that it is unified with the remuneration committee or its functions are attributed to the full board; ii) ensure the completeness and timeliness of the proposals for resolutions functional to the process of appointing company bodies and express, at least in companies with non-concentrated ownership, an orientation on its optimal composition; iii) provide, at least in large companies, a succession plan for executive directors that identifies at least the procedures to be followed in the event of early termination of office.".

With reference to the above, reference should be made to the provisions illustrated in this Report and, in particular, to the provisions indicated in Sections 7 ("Appointment Committee") and 4.1 ("Succession Plans").

The last recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee relates to remuneration policies and, specifically: "the Committee invites the boards of directors to: i) provide clear indications regarding the identification of the weight of the variable component, distinguishing between components linked to annual and multi-year time horizons; ii) strengthen the link between variable remuneration and long-term performance objectives, including, where relevant, also non-financial parameters; iii) limit to exceptional cases, subject to adequate explanation, the possibility of disbursing sums not linked to predetermined parameters (i.e. ad hoc bonuses); iv) define criteria and procedures for the assignment of end-of-office indemnities; v) verify that the amount of remuneration paid to non-executive directors and members of the board of statutory auditors is appropriate to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by their position.".

In this regard, the Board, having consulted with the Remuneration Committee insofar as it is competent, at its meeting of 11 February 2021, noted the full adherence and concrete application of the aforementioned recommendations, all as better represented in Section 9 of this Report as well as in the Report on the 2021 Policy regarding Remuneration and fees paid, prepared pursuant to articles 123-ter TUF and 84-ter of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, and made available to the public on the Company's website (www.mairetecnimont.com, in the "Governance" section - "Documents for Shareholders' Meetings" - "2021").

CURRICULA VITAE OF MAIRE TECNIMONT S.P.A. BOARD MEMBERS

FABRIZIO DI AMATO

Born in Rome in 1963. He graduated in Political Sciences from La Sapienza University of Rome and received an honorary master's degree in Chemical Engineering from Politecnico of Milan. He is the Chairman and majority shareholder of Maire Tecnimont Group, one of the main engineering contractors in oil & gas and petrochemicals in the world. Moreover, the Group, through its subsidiary NextChem, now actively operates in the field of Green Chemistry and technologies supporting the energy transition.

He began his career as an entrepreneur at the age of 19 by setting up his first company with three employees. He built up the Maire Tecnimont Group over three decades through a process of internal growth and acquisitions. In the first 20 years he laid the basis for the development of a mid-size civil engineering group mainly operating in the Italian market. In 2004, he acquired Fiat Engineering from Fiat Group. In this way the Group switched to general contracting, with a specific focus on power generation and transportation infrastructure and reinforced its international footprint. At the end of 2005, by completing a second major acquisition, that of Tecnimont from Edison, Mr. Di Amato expanded the Group's activities to the oil, gas and petrochemicals business, with a network of subsidiaries and branch offices operating worldwide. The acquisition of Tecnimont was ranked as the second most important transaction of merging and acquisition in Italy, receiving the Award KPMG M & A in 2006.

In 2007, Maire Tecnimont started to be listed in the Milan Stock Exchange; in the same year the acquisition of 100% of the Indian subsidiary Tecnimont Private Limited was completed, reinforcing the second Group engineering hub worldwide. This is a unique example of integration and complementarity of technical excellences coming from two different countries and cultures.

In 2009 and 2010 other two important acquisitions increased the technological content of the Group: the Dutch Stamicarbon - global leader in urea technology - and the Italian KT-Kinetics Technology - main process engineering contractor in the oil&gas sector. Today, Maire Tecnimont Group is one of the major European players in the engineering & contracting, active on the global energy markets. The Group can apply a flexible business model providing advanced skills in licensing, engineering services, engineering and procurement and in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction).

The Group operates through 50 companies in 45 countries. It owns more than 1,500 individual patents, having 30% market share in terms of installed capacity of polyolefin plants licensed from third parties. The Group is also market leader (54%) in the licensing of urea technology and has recognized competences in technologies to produce hydrogen, sulfur recovery and Tail Gas.

Maire Tecnimont successfully completed the largest gas treatment plant in Abu Dhabi and has been recently awarded the most important contract in its history (3.9 billion euros) for a gas treatment plant in the Amur district in the Far East region of the Russian Federation. The

Group licensed more than 250 urea production plants and built more than 190 polypropylene and polyethylene plants in the world. Maire Tecnimont has more than 9,000 professionals all over the world.

Fabrizio Di Amato plays an active role in the Italian engineering industry: from 2009 to 2011 he was President of Animp (Italian Association of Industrial Plant Engineering). In 2008 he promoted the concept of a unique representative body for the whole engineering and contracting industry through Federprogetti (the Federation of Italian plant industries), of which he was founder and served as President until May 2015. He is Vice President of Assolombarda with reference to Energy, Clusters, Supply Chains and Research Studies and since June 2019 is also Member of the Executive Committee of Assonime.

In May 2016, he was awarded the decoration of "Cavaliere del Lavoro" by the Italian President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
