where he sees the opportunity or necessity, also in order to propose any amendments and/or additions to the Procedure pursuant to Article 12.
5.1 The Relevant Party is required to disclose to the Designated Party, in the manner and within the terms indicated in Article 6, all transactions concerning the financial instruments issued by the Company (the "Financial Instruments") whatever the amount (the "Transactions") as specified below.

5.2.2 It should be noted that in any case transactions carried out by MAR Relevant Parties and Persons closely related to MAR Relevant Parties pursuant to and for the purposes of this Procedure are considered the transactions listed, as an illustrative and non-exhaustive example, in the Annex "A.1" to the Procedure.

6.1.1 The disclosure referred to in Article 5 by the MAR Relevant Party to the Designated Party must take place within the working day following the date of execution of the Transaction (the "Transaction Date"), in the manner indicated in the following Article 6.4.
6.2.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 6.2.2 below, the disclosure referred to in Article 5 by the Relevant Shareholders to the Designated Party must take place in due time in consideration of the terms of disclosure provided for in the following Article 8.2, letter (b), and in the manner indicated in the following Article 6.4.
In this case, a power of attorney in writing must be sent in advance to the Designated Party (drawn up according to the model in Annex "D") with which the Relevant Shareholder instructs the Company to carry out, on its own behalf and under its sole responsibility, the disclosures relating to the Transactions referred to in this Procedure.

6.5 If several Transactions pertaining to the same Relevant Party have been executed on the same day, such Party shall make a single notification by sending the Notification Model as set out in Article 6.4, containing a summary of all Transactions. In the case of several

Transactions of the same nature, relating to the same Financial Instrument, carried out on the same trading day and in the same Trading Venue, or outside a Trading Venue, the volume of all the aforementioned Transactions must be indicated in the disclosure as a single figure representing the arithmetical sum of the volume of each Transaction. The corresponding weighted average price for the volume of the aforementioned Transactions must also be indicated. When completing the Notification Model, Transactions of a different nature, such as purchases and sales, must not be aggregated or compensated.
6.6 The Transaction shall be deemed to be notified on the date on which the Designated Party receives the Notification Form according to the procedures indicated in article 6.4 above (the "Transaction Notification Date").

9.1 The MAR Relevant Parties and the Persons closely associated with the MAR Relevant Parties do not carry out transactions relating to the Financial Instruments, on their own account or on behalf of third parties, directly or indirectly, within the 30 calendar days preceding the announcement of the annual financial report and semi-annual financial

report referred to in Article 154-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (so-called blocking period). It is understood that the deadline of 30 calendar days prior to the announcement runs from the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors established for the approval of accounting data according to the financial calendar of the Company, or otherwise established. It is specified that the day of the press release concerning the approval of accounting data represents the 30th day of the blocking period.
If the Company publishes preliminary data, the blocking period applies only with reference to the date of publication of the latter (and not with regard to the final data), provided that the preliminary data contain all the main information that should be included in the final results.
In the previous cases (a) and (b) the Interested Party is, in any case, required to demonstrate that the specific Transaction cannot be carried out at another time except during the blocking period as specified below.
9.3 In the cases referred to in the preceding Article 9.2 (a), before executing the Transaction during the blocking period, the Interested Party requests from the Issuer – through a specific grounded request in writing to be transmitted to the CEO's attention, with a copy to the Designated Party – the authorisation to sell the shares held immediately.

Having received the disclosure referred to in this Article 9.3, the Company, in the manner provided for in paragraph 9.5, carries out a case-by-case assessment of the request submitted by the Interested Party and authorises the immediate sale of the shares only if the circumstances of the Transaction can be considered exceptional. "Exceptional circumstances" means extremely urgent, unforeseen and compelling situations that are not attributable to the Interested Party and are beyond its control. The assessment of the exceptional nature of the circumstances described in the authorisation

request is in any case carried out taking into account, inter alia, whether and to what extent the Interested Party:

It is understood that in case of failure to transmit the proxy referred to in Article 6.2.1 to the Designated Party by the Relevant Shareholders, any fulfilment, obligation, charge and/or formalities, in accordance with the law and regulation, relating and/or consequent to the completion of the individual Transactions.
10.4 The disclosures referred to in this Article 10 are made by the Designated Party using one of the following methods: (i) by registered mail delivered by hand or with acknowledgement of receipt; (ii) by e-mail with confirmation of receipt and reading; (iii) by certified e-mail; (iv) by any other means that includes notification (including electronic notification) of receipt by the recipient.

(e) the name and surname, the company name and the registered office, the residence or the address of the data controller and the manager:
data controller: Piaggio & C. S.p.A., with its registered office in Pontedera, Via Rinaldo Piaggio no. 25;
data processor: the Director of Legal and Corporate Affairs at Piaggio & C. S.p.A. - Pontedera, Viale Rinaldo Piaggio no. 25.
11.2. By virtue of the fact that the Relevant Party has returned to the Designated Party the Letter of Acceptance pursuant to Articles 10.2. and 10.3., consent is considered to be validly granted in compliance with and pursuant to the GDPR.

"1a. The notification obligation referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to transactions in financial instruments linked to shares or to debt instruments of the issuer referred to in that paragraph where at the time of the transaction any of the following conditions is met: (a) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking in which the exposure to the issuer's shares or debt instruments does not exceed 20 % of the assets held by the collective investment undertaking; (b) the financial instrument provides exposure to a portfolio of assets in which the exposure to the issuer's shares or debt instruments does not exceed 20 % of the portfolio's assets; (c) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking or provides exposure to a portfolio of assets and the person discharging managerial responsibilities or person closely associated with such a person does not know, and could not know, the investment composition or exposure of such collective investment undertaking or portfolio of assets in relation to the issuer's shares or debt instruments, and furthermore there is no reason for that person to believe that the issuer's shares or debt instruments exceed the thresholds in point (a) or (b). If information regarding the investment composition of the collective investment undertaking or exposure to the portfolio of assets is available, then the person discharging managerial responsibility or person closely associated with such a person shall make all reasonable efforts to avail themselves of that information."

For the purposes of point (a), a pledge, or a similar security interest, of financial instruments in connection with the depositing of the financial instruments in a custody account does not need to be notified, unless and until such time that such pledge or other security interest is designated to secure a specific credit facility.
For the purposes of point (b), transactions executed in shares or debt instruments of an issuer or derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto by managers of a collective investment undertaking in which the person discharging managerial responsibilities or a person closely associated with them has invested do not need to be notified where the manager of the collective investment undertaking operates with full discretion, which excludes the manager receiving any instructions or suggestions on portfolio composition directly or indirectly from investors in that collective investment undertaking.
Insofar as a policyholder of an insurance contract is required to notify transactions according to this paragraph, an obligation to notify is not incumbent on the insurance company".
"1. Pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and in addition to transactions referred to in Article 19(7) of that Regulation, persons discharging managerial responsibilities within an issuer or an emission allowance market participant and persons closely associated with them shall notify the issuer or the emission allowance market participant and the competent authority of their transactions.
Those notified transactions shall include all transactions conducted by persons discharging managerial responsibilities on their own account relating, in respect of the issuers, to the shares or debt instruments of the issuer or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto, and in respect of emission allowance market participants, to emission allowances, to auction products based thereon or to derivatives relating thereto.

"3. The following are not disclosed:
a) operations for which the total value does not amount to twenty thousand euros by the end of the year; subsequent to all communications, operations are not disclosed where the total amount does not amount to an equivalent value of a further twenty thousand euros by the end of the year; for financial instruments connected to derivatives, the amount is calculated with reference to the underlying shares;
b) operations implemented between the significant subject and the persons directly connected with it;
c) operations carried out by the same listed issuer and by companies it controls;
d) operations carried out by a credit entity or an investment firm which contributes to building the trading portfolio of that entity or enterprise, as defined by Article 11 of Directive 2006/49/EC, as long as said subject:
- keeps the trading and market making structures organisationally separated from the treasury and structures managing strategic investments, trading and market making structures;
- is able to identify the shares held for the purpose of trading and/or market making activities in ways that can be verified by Consob, or by holding them in a specific, separate account;
and, if acting as market maker
- is authorised by the Member State of origin in accordance with Directive 2004/39/EC to carry out market making activities;
- provides Consob with the market making agreement with the market management company and/or the issuer as may be required by the law and the related implementation provisions in force in the EU Member State where the market maker operates;
- notifies Consob that it intends to carry out or carries out market making activities on the shares of an issuer of listed shares, using model TR-2 contained in Annex 4; the market maker must also immediately notify Consob of the cessation of market making activity on said shares."

Pursuant to Article 13 of EU Regulation No. 679/2016 ("GDPR"), we provide you below with the information requested regarding the processing of your personal data (the "Processing").
The personal data you provide in application of the Procedure will be processed for the purposes envisaged by the Procedure itself in order to fulfil the obligations envisaged by the laws and regulations in force for Piaggio & C.

"1. Persons discharging managerial responsibilities, as well as persons closely associated with them, shall notify the issuer or the emission allowance market participant and the competent authority referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2:
(a)in respect of issuers, of every transaction conducted on their own account relating to the shares or debt instruments of that issuer or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto;
(b)in respect of emission allowance market participants, of every transaction conducted on their own account relating to emission allowances, to auction products based thereon or to derivatives relating thereto.
Such notifications shall be made promptly and no later than three business days after the date of the transaction.
The first subparagraph applies once the total amount of transactions has reached the threshold set out in paragraph 8 or 9, as applicable, within a calendar year.
1a. The notification obligation referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to transactions in financial instruments linked to shares or to debt instruments of the issuer referred to in that paragraph where at the time of the transaction any of the following conditions is met:
(a) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking in which the exposure to the issuer's shares or debt instruments does not exceed 20 % of the assets held by the collective investment undertaking;
(b) the financial instrument provides exposure to a portfolio of assets in which the exposure to the issuer's shares or debt instruments does not exceed 20 % of the portfolio's assets;
(c) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking or provides exposure to a portfolio of assets and the person discharging managerial responsibilities or person closely associated with such a person does not know, and could not know, the investment composition or exposure of such collective investment undertaking or portfolio of assets in relation to the issuer's shares or debt instruments, and furthermore there is no reason for that person to believe that the issuer's shares or debt instruments exceed the thresholds in point (a) or (b).
If information regarding the investment composition of the collective investment undertaking or exposure to the portfolio of assets is available, then the person discharging managerial responsibility or person closely associated with such a person shall make all reasonable efforts to avail themselves of that information.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, and without prejudice to the right of Member States to provide for notification obligations other than those referred to in this Article, all transactions conducted on the own account of the persons referred to in paragraph 1, shall be notified by those persons to the competent authorities.
The rules applicable to notifications, with which persons referred to in paragraph 1 must comply, shall be those of the Member State where the issuer or emission allowance market participant is registered. Notifications shall be made within three working days of the transaction date to the competent authority of that Member State. Where the issuer is not registered in a Member State, the notification shall be made to the competent authority of the home Member State in accordance with point (i) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2004/109/EC or, in the absence thereof, to the competent authority of the trading venue.
3. The issuer or emission allowance market participant shall make public the information contained in the notification referred to in paragraph 1 within two working days of receiving such notification.
The issuer or emission allowance market participant shall use such media as may reasonably be relied upon for the effective dissemination of information to the public throughout the Union, and, where applicable, it shall use the officially appointed mechanism referred to in Article 21 of Directive 2004/109/EC.
Alternatively, national law may provide that a competent authority may itself make public the information.
4. This Article shall apply to issuers who:
5. Issuers and emission allowance market participants shall notify the person discharging managerial responsibilities of their obligations under this Article in writing. Issuers and emission allowance market participants shall draw up a list of all persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them.
Persons discharging managerial responsibilities shall notify the persons closely associated with them of their obligations under this Article in writing and shall keep a copy of this notification.
6. A notification of transactions referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain the following information:
(a)the name of the person;
(b)the reason for the notification;
(c)the name of the relevant issuer or emission allowance market participant;
(d)a description and the identifier of the financial instrument;
(e)the nature of the transaction(s) (e.g. acquisition or disposal), indicating whether it is linked to the exercise of share option programmes or to the specific examples set out in paragraph 7;
(c)transactions made under a life insurance policy, defined in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, where:
For the purposes of point (a), a pledge, or a similar security interest, of financial instruments in connection with the depositing of the financial instruments in a custody account does not need to be notified, unless and until such time that such pledge or other security interest is designated to secure a specific credit facility.
For the purposes of point (b), transactions executed in shares or debt instruments of an issuer or derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto by managers of a collective investment undertaking in which the person discharging managerial responsibilities or a person closely associated with them has invested do not need to be notified where the manager of the collective investment undertaking operates with full discretion, which excludes the manager receiving any instructions or suggestions on portfolio composition directly or indirectly from investors in that collective investment undertaking.
Insofar as a policyholder of an insurance contract is required to notify transactions according to this paragraph, an obligation to notify is not incumbent on the insurance company.
8. Paragraph 1 shall apply to any subsequent transaction once a total amount of EUR 5 000 has been reached within a calendar year. The threshold of EUR 5 000 shall be calculated by adding without netting all transactions referred to in paragraph 1.
9. A competent authority may decide to increase the threshold set out in paragraph 8 to EUR 20 000 and shall inform ESMA of its decision and the justification for its decision, with specific reference to market conditions, to adopt the higher threshold prior to its application. ESMA shall publish on its website the list of thresholds that apply in accordance with this Article and the justifications provided by competent authorities for such thresholds.
10. This Article shall also apply to transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities within any auction platform, auctioneer and auction monitor involved in the auctions held under Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 and to persons closely associated with such persons in so far as their transactions involve emission allowances, derivatives thereof or auctioned products based thereon. Those persons shall notify their transactions to the auction platforms, auctioneers and auction monitor, as applicable, and to the competent authority where the auction platform, auctioneer or auction monitor, as applicable, is registered. The information that is so notified shall be made public by the auction platforms, auctioneers, auction monitor or competent authority in accordance with paragraph 3.
11. Without prejudice to Articles 14 and 15, a person discharging managerial responsibilities within an issuer shall not conduct any transactions on its own account or for the account of a third party, directly or indirectly, relating to the shares or debt instruments of the issuer or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked to them during a closed period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of an interim financial report or a year-end report which the issuer is obliged to make public according to:
(a)the rules of the trading venue where the issuer's shares are admitted to trading; or (b)national law.
12. Without prejudice to Articles 14 and 15, an issuer may allow a person discharging managerial responsibilities within it to trade on its own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period as referred to in paragraph 11 either:
(a)on a case-by-case basis due to the existence of exceptional circumstances, such as severe financial difficulty, which require the immediate sale of shares; or
(b)due to the characteristics of the trading involved for transactions made under, or related to, an employee share or saving scheme, qualification or entitlement of shares, or transactions where the beneficial interest in the relevant security does not change.
13. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 35 specifying the circumstances under which trading during a closed period may be permitted by the issuer, as referred to in paragraph 12, including the circumstances that would be considered as exceptional and the types of transaction that would justify the permission for trading.
14. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 35, specifying types of transactions that would trigger the requirement referred to in paragraph 1.
15. In order to ensure uniform application of paragraph 1, ESMA shall develop draft implementing technical standards concerning the format and template in which the information referred to in paragraph 1 is to be notified and made public.

Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the implementing technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010".
"1. Without prejudice to any criminal sanctions and without prejudice to the supervisory powers of competent authorities under Article 23, Member States shall, in accordance with national law, provide for competent authorities to have the power to take appropriate administrative sanctions and other administrative measures in relation to at least the following infringements:
(a)infringements of Articles 14 and 15, Article 16(1) and (2), Article 17(1), (2), (4) and (5), and (8), Article 18(1) to (6), Article 19(1), (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (11) and Article 20(1); and
(b)failure to cooperate or to comply with an investigation, with an inspection or with a request as referred to in Article 23(2).
Member States may decide not to lay down rules for administrative sanctions as referred to in the first subparagraph where the infringements referred to in point (a) or point (b) of that subparagraph are already subject to criminal sanctions in their national law by 3 July 2016. Where they so decide, Member States shall notify, in detail, to the Commission and to ESMA, the relevant parts of their criminal law.
By 3 July 2016, Member States shall notify, in detail, the rules referred to in the first and second subparagraph to the Commission and to ESMA. They shall notify the Commission and ESMA without delay of any subsequent amendments thereto.
2. Member States shall, in accordance with national law, ensure that competent authorities have the power to impose at least the following administrative sanctions and to take at least the following administrative measures in the event of the infringements referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1:

References to the competent authority in this paragraph are without prejudice to the ability of the competent authority to exercise its functions in any ways referred to in Article 23(1).
For the purposes of points (j)(i) and (ii) of the first subparagraph, where the legal person is a parent undertaking or a subsidiary undertaking which is required to prepare consolidated financial accounts pursuant to Directive 2013/34/EU, the relevant total annual turnover shall be the total annual turnover or the corresponding type of income in accordance with the relevant accounting directives – Council Directive 86/635/EEC for banks and Council Directive 91/674/EEC for insurance companies – according to the last available consolidated accounts approved by the management body of the ultimate parent undertaking.
3. Member States may provide that competent authorities have powers in addition to those referred to in paragraph 2 and may provide for higher levels of sanctions than those established in that paragraph".
"1. Member States shall ensure that when determining the type and level of administrative sanctions, competent authorities take into account all relevant circumstances, including, where appropriate:
2. In the exercise of their powers to impose administrative sanctions and other administrative measures under Article 30, competent authorities shall cooperate closely to ensure that the exercise of their supervisory and investigative powers, and the administrative sanctions that they impose, and the other administrative measures that they take, are effective and appropriate under this Regulation. They shall coordinate their actions in accordance with Article 25 in order to avoid duplication and overlaps when exercising their supervisory and investigative powers and when imposing administrative sanctions in respect of cross-border cases".

"1. Subject to the third subparagraph, competent authorities shall publish any decision imposing an administrative sanction or other administrative measure in relation to an infringement of this Regulation on their website immediately after the person subject to that decision has been informed of that decision. Such publication shall include at least information on the type and nature of the infringement and the identity of the person subject to the decision.
The first subparagraph does not apply to decisions imposing measures that are of an investigatory nature.
Where a competent authority considers that the publication of the identity of the legal person subject to the decision, or of the personal data of a natural person, would be disproportionate following a case-by-case assessment conducted on the proportionality of the publication of such data, or where such publication would jeopardise an ongoing investigation or the stability of the financial markets, it shall do any of the following:
(a)defer publication of the decision until the reasons for that deferral cease to exist;
(b)publish the decision on an anonymous basis in accordance with national law where such publication ensures the effective protection of the personal data concerned;
Where a competent authority takes a decision to publish a decision on an anonymous basis as referred to in point (b) of the third subparagraph, it may postpone the publication of the relevant data for a reasonable period of time where it is foreseeable that the reasons for anonymous publication will cease to exist during that period.
2. Where the decision is subject to an appeal before a national judicial, administrative or other authority, competent authorities shall also publish immediately on their website such information and any subsequent information on the outcome of such an appeal. Moreover, any decision annulling a decision subject to appeal shall also be published.
3. Competent authorities shall ensure that any decision that is published in accordance with this Article shall remain accessible on their website for a period of at least five years after its publication. Personal data contained in such publications shall be kept on the website of the competent authority for the period which is necessary in accordance with the applicable data protection rules".
