The Shareholders' Meeting will also be called upon to resolve, among other things, on the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the determination of the remuneration for the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors itself, through a slate voting mechanism, on the basis of the proposals that will be submitted by those entitled.

Authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares

The Board of Directors has decided to request the Shareholders' Meeting to be convened for authorization to launch programs for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, subject to revocation of the previous resolution adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting of 18 April 2024.

The requested authorization provides for the possibility of proceeding with the purchase, to be carried out in one or more tranches of a number of shares which, at any time, do not exceed a total of 10% of the share capital. Purchases may be made within the limits of the available reserves resulting from the last duly approved annual financial statements from time to time. The maximum duration of the plan is 18 months from the date of authorization by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Shareholders' meeting authorization will be required:

• to provide the Company with a portfolio of treasury shares (so-called "stock of securities") to be used and/or disposed of, including possibly by selling them and using the consideration obtained, in the context of any extraordinary transactions (by way of example, mergers, demergers, purchases of shareholdings) and in order to implement the remuneration policies approved by the Company's Shareholders' Meeting and applied to the Prysmian Group;

4 Including Encore Wire with the perimeter.

  • in order to use treasury shares against the exercise of rights deriving from debt instruments convertible or exchangeable with financial instruments issued by the Company, subsidiaries or third parties (by way of example, in the context of public offers for the purchase and/or exchange of shares);
  • to dispose of treasury shares under share-based incentive plans or share allocation and/or purchase plans, including at preferential conditions, reserved for directors and/or employees of the Prysmian Group;
  • to seize opportunities for value creation, efficient use of liquidity in relation to market trends, and in the context of any extraordinary financial transactions or for other uses deemed to be of financial, managerial and/or strategic interest.

The purchase and disposal of treasury shares will be carried out in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations:

  • I. at a minimum price of not less than 10% of the reference price that the share will have recorded in the market session of the day prior to the completion of each individual transaction;
  • II. ii. at a maximum price not exceeding 10% of the reference price that the share will have recorded in the market session of the day prior to the completion of each individual transaction.

To date, Prysmian S.p.A. directly and indirectly owns 9,228,070 treasury shares.

Elimination of the indication of the nominal value of shares

The Board of Directors has decided to submit to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting the proposal to eliminate the indication of the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares and the consequent amendment of the provisions of the Articles of Association containing this express indication.

Plan for the allocation of shares to Prysmian Group employees (BE IN)

The Board of Directors, having taken the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, has resolved to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, pursuant to Article 114-bis, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree no. 58/98, the renewal of the BE IN plan, a share assignment plan reserved for employees of Prysmian and Prysmian Group companies not involved in the current annual or multi-year individual incentive schemes initially approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of the 2022. To date, over 16,000 workers and employees have joined it. The plan, which will be implemented over a three-year period and will be the subject of consultation at local level with the competent trade union representatives where required, offers the opportunity to receive, on a voluntary basis, a share of variable remuneration linked to the growth of results in the form of shares, with the aim of gradually increasing the already significant part of employees who are also shareholders of the company, today it is about 46%. This initiative is based on the principles of inclusion and sharing and aims to promote employee participation in the Company's shareholding structure, in line with Prysmian's Social Ambition objective of reaching 50% of employee shareholders by 2027. In addition, the plan will be a tool to share the Group's value creation.

The plan provides for the free allocation of ordinary shares of the Company to the participants, under the conditions set out in the information document. These actions will derive from a capital increase to be carried out through the use, pursuant to art. 2349 of the Civil Code, of profits or reserves from profits, or from treasury shares in portfolio. Considering the possible participants, the Plan is not to be considered "of particular importance" pursuant to the aforementioned Article 84-bis, paragraph 2, of the Consob Regulation.

It is also requested to authorise the making available of 2,000,000 newly issued or own shares to service the Plan for the entire period covered by the renewal.

The information document relating to the Plan will be made public within the scheduled timeframe.

Share buyback plan at preferential conditions for Group employees (YES)

The Board of Directors, having taken the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, has resolved to submit to the next meeting the renewal of the YES plan - the Share Purchase Plan at favourable conditions for Prysmian Group employees, initially approved by the shareholders' meeting in 2013.

The Plan offers employees the opportunity to purchase Prysmian ordinary shares at preferential conditions, with a maximum discount of 25% of the value of the share offered in the form of newly issued shares or own shares in the portfolio. The shares purchased will be subject to a retention period, during which they will be unavailable for sale or transfer. With the renewal proposal, the plan will be implemented in the years 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The Plan will also benefit the Executive Directors of Prysmian S.p.A. as well as executives with strategic responsibilities, who will however be granted a discount of 1%. In this regard, therefore, the Plan is to be considered "of particular importance" pursuant to art. 84-bis, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulation. It is also requested to authorise the making available of 400,000 newly issued or own shares to service the Plan for the entire period subject to renewal.

The information document relating to the Plan will be made public within the scheduled timeframe.

Capital increases to service plans based on financial instruments in favour of employees of the Prysmian Group

The Board of Directors resolved to submit to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting the proposal to increase the share capital for a maximum amount of €240,000.00, through the issue, also in several tranches, of a maximum of 2,400,000 new ordinary shares, to be allocated free of charge pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, to employees of Prysmian S.p.A. and Prysmian Group companies, beneficiaries of the share plans that will be submitted to the approval of the same Shareholders' Meeting in the ordinary session.

Bonds

Following the exercise, on 7 June 2024, of the option to early repayment (so-called Soft Call) of the entire amount of the convertible bond denominated "€750,000,000 Equity Linked Bonds due 2026" (ISIN XS2294704007) issued in February 2021, 18,632,753 new ordinary shares were assigned to the holders of units who requested their conversion. On 19 July 2024, the residual bonds for which conversion into shares had not been requested for an amount of €300,000 were redeemed. The bond is therefore extinguished.

As part of the Euro Medium Term Notes bond issuance programme for the total of euro 3 billion listed on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, on 21 November 2024, Prysmian S.p.A. placed the following two tranches of the euro 1,500 million senior unsecured bond, rated BBB- (S&P):
