Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the ordinary shares and the warrants of Piovan S.p.A. (the "Securities") have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the Securities may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Securities offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Securities is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Manufacturers will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the securities.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the securities and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Comments

BY APPLICATION

  • Strong increase in Revenues from Systems across both markets:
  • Plastic: further consolidation of the leadership position, with strong growth in EMEA and Asia
  • Food: strong acceleration, executing our strategy to gain market share
  • Service: flattish top line as a result of
    • Lower activity in North America due to the production shift to the new facility (now concluded)
    • Food spare parts and service additional business not yet visible in the performance

BY GEOGRAPHY

  • Strong momentum in:
  • EMEA, reflecting mainly acceleration in Food (alongside with strong double digit performance in plastics)
  • Asia, as a result of recent organizational changes and broadening of the end-markets served
  • Slowdown in in North America partially impacted by relocation to new plant (now completed) impacting profitability in ramp-up phase
  • South America performance affected by adverse FX movements

Profitable Growth Path Continuing in Line with Expectations…
