Piaggio & C. S.p.A.
Authorisation to purchase and use treasury shares, pursuant to articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, as well as article 132 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 and relative provisions for enactment, subject to withdrawal of the authorisation granted by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 17 April 2024, for the portion not executed. Related and consequent resolutions.

Notice has been given that an ordinary shareholders' meeting will be held to consider and approve the proposal to authorise the purchase and disposal of ordinary shares held by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (hereinafter "Piaggio" or the "Company"), pursuant to the combined provisions of Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Civil Code, and Article 132 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 ("Consolidated Law on Finance") and relative implementing provisions.
By resolution adopted on 17 April 2024, this Shareholders' Meeting authorised the purchase and use of the Company's ordinary shares. The purchase authorisation had a duration of 18 months from the date of said resolution and, therefore, will expire during 2025, while the authorisation for use was granted without a time limit.
It would seem appropriate that the Company is given the authority to purchase treasury shares, also after the deadline indicated, for the purposes referred to in paragraph 1 below.
The proposal made to shareholders is that they resolve on a new authorisation on the purchase and disposal of treasury shares in the terms illustrated in this Report, with prior revocation for the portion of the 17 April 2024 resolution not executed.
The request to authorise the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, as of the authorisation proposal to put to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, is to give the Company a strategic investment opportunity for all purposes allowed by applicable regulations, including the purposes referred to in article 5 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter "MAR") and according to practices permitted by Consob under article 13 of the MAR, where applicable, including the purchase of treasury shares based on their subsequent annulment, according to terms and procedures to be decided by competent company boards.
Authorisation is requested for the purchase, in one or more tranches, of ordinary Piaggio shares with no stated par value, up to a maximum number no greater than the maximum limit contemplated by applicable laws in force at the time of purchase, taking into consideration the ordinary Piaggio shares held at any one time by the Company as treasury stock or by the Company's subsidiaries (at the date of this Memorandum, said limit is set at one fifth of the share capital by Article 2357, subsection 3, of the Civil Code).
A mandate is therefore sought by the Board of Directors to identify the number of shares to purchase in relation to each purchase programme as regards the purposes indicated above, before the start of the programme, within the maximum limit mentioned above.

At the date of this Memorandum, the share capital of Piaggio amounted to €207,613,944.37, comprising 354,632,049 ordinary shares with no stated par value; at the same date, the Company held 1,086,661 treasury shares, equal to 0.3064% of the share capital.
Piaggio's subsidiaries do not hold shares in the Company.
As mentioned in section 2, the total number of treasury shares held by Piaggio at any one time, including any Piaggio ordinary shares held by subsidiaries, may not exceed the maximum limit contemplated by applicable laws in force at the time. In order to assure compliance with statutory limits, suitable procedures will be set forth to ensure the timely and comprehensive disclosure of the number of Piaggio shares held by subsidiaries of the Company.
The purchase of treasury shares must in any case comply with restrictions on the distributable earnings and free reserves reported in the last approved financial statements (including interim statements) at the transaction date. All purchases and disposals of treasury shares will be duly recognised in accounts in compliance with law and applicable accounting standards.
Authorisation for the purchase of treasury shares is requested for a term of eighteen months, commencing as of the date of the resolution passed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. The Board of Directors may proceed with authorised purchases in one or more tranches and at any time, within the terms and amounts decided in due compliance with applicable laws and regulations, with purchases timed in the interests of the Company.
The authorisation for disposal of treasury shares is requested with no time limits and also with reference to the treasury shares already owned by Piaggio at the date of this Report.
The Board of Directors proposes that treasury shares are purchased in compliance with the trading conditions established in article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 ("Regulation 1052") in compliance with the MAR, where applicable. Purchases may be made for an amount that is no higher than the highest price between the price of the last independent transaction and the highest independent offer price in the trading venues where the purchase is made, provided that the unit amount is at least a minimum of 20% and a maximum not exceeding 10% of the arithmetic mean of official Piaggio share prices registered in the ten stock exchange days prior to each purchase transaction.
The Board of Directors proposes that purchases are undertaken according to procedures established in applicable provisions of Consob Regulation 11971/1999 (as amended) implementing article 132

of the Consolidated Law on Finance, in compliance with the conditions and restrictions relative to trading as of articles 3 and 4 of Regulation 1052 and within a time frame deemed appropriate in the interests of the Company.
The Board of Directors also proposes authorising use, as per Article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, at any time, in whole or in part, and in one or more tranches, of the treasury shares purchased on the basis of this proposal or in any case already held by the Company via the sale of the shares on the stock exchange or off exchange, or via the transfer of ownership and/or personal rights to the shares, for instance through securities lending, under the most expedient terms, methods and conditions for the disposal of the treasury shares in the interests of the Company, in compliance with laws and regulations in force at the time of disposal and for the purposes stated in this draft resolution.
Disposals of treasury shares held by the Company will be effected in compliance with laws and regulations in force governing the execution of orders for the trading of listed securities, including practices permitted in accordance with article 13 of the MAR, where applicable, and may occur in one or more tranches, timed as best suits the interests of the Company.
If you are in agreement with the proposal, we invite you to take the following resolution:
"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, having acknowledged and approved the Board of Directors' Memorandum,

accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable provisions of Consob Regulation 11971/1999 (as subsequently amended) implementing Article 132 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, in compliance with the conditions and restrictions relating to trading as set forth Articles 3 and 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 and with the gradualness deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company, granting the widest powers for the execution of the purchase transactions referred to in this resolution and any other formality relating thereto, including the possible assignment of tasks to intermediaries qualified by law and with the power to appoint special proxies;
