Report on item 1 on the Agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting, extraordinary part
Amendments to art. 10 ("Right of intervention and exercise of voting rights ") of the Articles of Association. Related and consequent resolutions.


Dear Shareholders,
the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting called for September 12th, 2024 is called to resolve on the amendment of art. 10 ("Right to attend and exercise the right to vote") of the Articles of Association.
As is well known, Law No. 21 of March 5th, 2024 introduced Article 135-undecies.1 into Legislative Decree No. 58 of 1998 (the "Consolidated Financial Act" or the "CFA") which provides that "The articles of association can rule that participation in the shareholders' meeting and exercise of voting rights are exclusively performed by a representative designated by the company in accordance with Article 135 undecies. The party designated as representative may be assigned proxies or sub-proxies in accordance with Article 135-novies, departing from Article 135-undecies, paragraph 4".
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to insert a new clause in the Articles of Association that allows the Board of Directors to provide, from time to time and specifying it at the time of call, that the Shareholders' Meeting be held with the participation of those entitled to attend and vote exclusively through the conferral of proxies pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the CFA (as well as proxies or sub-proxies pursuant to Article 135-novies, notwithstanding Article 135-undecies, paragraph 4, of the CFA) to the Designated Representative, a figure already provided for (i) by art. 135-undecies of the CFA in the text prior to the aforementioned legislative novelty and (ii) by art. 10 of the current Articles of Association (the Exclusive Designated Representative).
In this regard, it should be noted that the Company, with reference to the shareholders' meetings held in recent years, has availed itself of the power to designate the Exclusive Designated Representative originally assigned to counter the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, has assessed the contribution of the Exclusive Designated Representative in the efficient and precise conduct of the Shareholders' Meeting and its preparatory activities in a very positive way and has also noted a large participation of shareholders thanks to the intervention of the Exclusive Designated Representative.
The text, as opposed to Article 10 of the Articles of Association, is shown below, with the proposed amendment highlighted in bold.
