Proposal to cancel 3,521,595 treasury shares in portfolio; consequent amendments to Art. 5.1 of the Articles of Association. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,
We submit for your approval the proposal to cancel 3,521,595 treasury shares held in the portfolio of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. ("Piaggio" or the "Company").
In this regard, we remind you that, at the date of this Report, the Company holds a total of 3,521,595 treasury shares, equal to 0.98% of the share capital, purchased on the basis of the authorisations granted, pursuant to Article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 132 of Legislative Decree 58/1998 ("TUF"), by the Shareholders' Meeting most recently by resolution of 11 April 2022 and recognised in the financial statements at an average value of Euro 2.18.
Considering, however, that Piaggio shares outstanding have no par value, we propose to cancel 3,521,595 treasury shares without reducing the numerical amount of the share capital (currently Euro 207,613,944.37 divided into 358,153,644 shares), and to reduce the corresponding negative reserve which is recognised in the financial statements for a total of Euro 7,687,587.56.
Taking into account that the authorisations to purchase and dispose of treasury shares approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in the last financial years provided for the purchase of treasury shares also with a view to their subsequent cancellation, and since there is no need to maintain a substantial portion of treasury shares in the portfolio, it is deemed preferable to proceed with the cancellation of the aforementioned treasury shares, thereby increasing the value of each share and maximising their profitability. The cancellation of shares makes it possible to increase the portion of profit allocated to each share ("earnings per share"). As a result of this cancellation, Piaggio's share capital will not be reduced. Therefore, the share capital will remain unchanged at Euro 207,613,944.37, but the accounting par value of the remaining 354,632,049 outstanding shares will change to Euro 0.5854.
Please note that this draft resolution does not trigger the right of withdrawal pursuant to law.
The cancellation of the 3,521,595 treasury shares in portfolio will entail a change in the numerical expression of the number of outstanding shares contained in Article 5.1 of the Articles of Association as indicated below (the remaining clauses of the Articles of Association contained in Article 5 will remain unchanged and are therefore omitted):
