INTRODUCTION

This Information Document is the subject of an explanatory report to the Shareholders' Meeting convened to resolve on the proposal to adopt the long-term incentive Plan for the 2023-2025 three-year period.

The Information Document is published to provide the Company's shareholders and the market with information on the Plan in accordance with article 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation and particularly in accordance with Schedule 7 of Annex 3A of the Issuers Regulation.

Note that the Plan should be considered "of special importance" pursuant to article 114-bis, paragraph 3 of the TUF and article 84-bis, paragraph 2 of the Issuers Regulation.

The Plan is based on the free Allocation of Shares and consists of the following components:

  • Performance Share a component consisting of the Allocation of a predetermined number of Shares in relation to the level of achievement of Performance Conditions, subject to continuity of the Employment Relationship during the Vesting Period.
  • Deferred Share a component consisting of deferred pay-out through the free Allocation of Shares, subject to the continuity of the Employment Relationship during the Vesting Period, of a portion of the Bonus possibly accrued for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025. The accrual of the Bonus requires the achievement of specific economic, financial, operational and sustainability performance objectives defined in advance each year. The achievement of these objectives determines the accrual of the Bonus, of which a 50% portion of its gross amount is not paid-out through cash but through the Allocation of a predetermined number of free Shares, after the Vesting Period and subject to continuity of the Employment Relationship during said Vesting Period.
  • Matching Share a component consisting of the free Allocation of an additional 0.5 Shares for each allocated Deferred Share, with continuity of the Employment Relationship during the Vesting Period. With regard at least to the CEO and Top Management, the Matching Share component is subject to reaching at least the Target level of a predetermined Performance Condition called ESG.

The adoption of the Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company's ordinary shareholders' meeting convened for 19 April 2023, in single call.

This Information Document is prepared on the basis of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee's proposal to adopt the Plan, approved by the Board of Directors on 9 March 2023.

The detailed information required by para. 4.4. below (i.e. the maximum number of financial instruments allocated to persons identified by name or to the categories indicated) is not available at the date of this document and will be provided in accordance with article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers Regulation.

This Information Document is available to the public at the registered offices of Prysmian SpA, Via Chiese 6 Milan, at Borsa Italiana SpA and on the Company website www.prysmiangroup.com.

1. RECIPIENTS

1.1 Named indication of beneficiaries who are members of the Prysmian Board of Directors

The Plan may include the following recipients among the members of the Board of Directors of Prysmian SpA:

  • Valerio Battista, CEO and General Manager;
  • Massimo Battaini, Director holding the position of of Chief Operating Officer;
  • Pier Francesco Facchini, Director holding the position of Chief Financial Officer;

1.2 Categories of employees or contractors of the issuer of financial instruments and of the parent or subsidiary companies of the issuer

The recipients of the Plan are employees of Group companies in Italy and abroad and/or directors of the Company, considered key figures for the pursuit of sustainable long-term success. Participation in the Plan is voluntary.

The Plan involves four categories of recipients for a total of approximately 1100 Participants:

  • Chief Executive Officer
  • Top Management: about 50 persons who hold key positions in the Group (including Prysmian SpA board members who hold the roles of Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and the other Managers with strategic responsibilities);
  • Executives: about 410 people belonging to different business and operating units worldwide, selected on the basis of their roles as key executive management for the Company;
  • Plant Managers and Key Talents: about 640 people from different business and operating units worldwide, selected on the basis of the management roles covered, their performance track record, and their potential impact on the Group's results.

1.3 Named indication of plan beneficiaries belonging to the following groups

(a) General Managers of the issuer of financial instruments Not applicable

(b) Other managers with strategic responsibilities of the issuer of financial instruments if they have received, during the year, total remuneration (obtained by adding monetary remuneration and financial instrumentbased remuneration) greater than the highest total remuneration including those allocated to members of the board of directors or management board, and to the general managers of the issuer of financial instruments.

Not applicable as no Managers with strategic responsibilities received, during the year, total remuneration higher than the highest remuneration paid to members of the Board of Directors and to the General Manager.

(c) natural persons controlling the share issuer, who are employees or who collaborate with the share issuer. Not applicable as there are no natural persons controlling the issuer.

1.4 Description and separate numerical indication for categories of other Managers with strategic responsibilities (other than those indicated in paragraph 1.3) and any other categories of employees or contractors for which different characteristics have been provided under the plan (for example, executives, middle managers, employees etc.)

About 1100 Participants will be involved in the Plan, including four executive directors and three other directors with strategic responsibilities.

The Plan provides for a differentiated feature in relation to the Matching Share component. For that component, which is paired with the Deferred Share Allocation, the Plan requires, for at least the CEO and Top Management, that the Matching Share Allocation be subject to the achievement of at least the Target level of the Performance Condition called ESG.

In addition, the Plan may include differentiated features for Participants, if identified, employees of Oman Cable Industry SAOG, a Group's company, for whom the performance conditions of the subsidiary may also be required, replacing certain other Performance Conditions of the Plan.

In the Plan implementation phase, in which its functioning will be defined in detail, some features may be adjusted in order to ensure the Plan's compliance with local legislation and/or currency rules and/or tax effectiveness and/or to facilitate its implementation at local level.

2. REASONS FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN

2.1 and 2.1.1 Objectives to be achieved by the allocation of the plans

The main objectives of the Plan are as follows:

  • motivate Participants to achieve long-term results oriented towards the creation of sustainable value over time;
  • align the interests of management with those of shareholders through the use of share-based incentive plans;
  • promote management's stable participation in the Company's share capital;
  • ensure the long-term sustainability of the Group's annual performance through the deferral mechanism of part of the annual Bonus in Shares (Deferred Shares);
  • strengthen the long-term engagement and retention of Participants also through the Matching Shares mechanism.

2.2 and 2.2.1 Key variables also in the form of performance indicators considered for the purpose of allocation of financial instrument-based plans

Regarding the Performance Share component, the number of Shares that will actually be allocated to each Participant will be determined based on the level of achievement of economic and financial performance conditions, the share yield and the environmental and social sustainability of Group activities, as further explained below. For each Participant, the Plan provides for the Allocation of a predetermined number of Shares corresponding to the achievement of the Target performance level for all Performance Conditions. The number of Shares allocated may vary up to 50% less or more in relation to the achievement of, respectively, the Threshold performance level and the Maximum level for each Performance Condition for which no Shares will vest at Threshold level. Each Performance Condition has a relative weight for determining the number of Shares that can be allocated.

Having introduced ROCE and reduced the weight of EBITDA responds to the need for differentiation of targets for management, with respect to the annual incentive bonus.

For all the Performance Conditions listed above, the achievement of intermediate results, the achievement of results falling between the Threshold and Target levels and between the Target and the Maximum levels determine Share Allocation calculated by linear interpolation. The achievement of results lower than the Threshold level entails the non-Allocation of Shares for the single Performance Condition to which this result relates. The Performance Conditions operate independently of each other. The result bands (Threshold, Target and Maximum) are defined on the basis of the current perimeter of the Group, in accordance with accounting standards in force at 5 March 2020 and on the basis of the assumptions and premises relating to the medium-term time span upon which the Plan is structured. The results will be finalised in the light of these premises and assumptions. When assessing the results achieved, the Committee will apply the rules of the Plan, providing the market with complete and transparent information on the criteria adopted if the above premises and assumptions have had to be changed, in positive or negative way, due to, in example, extraordinary operations, significant changes in exchange rates, significant impacts deriving from the application of IFRS16 accounting principle, events or circumstances, even exogenous, of an exceptional or extraordinary nature, with material impact on the results

achieved as better specified in para. 3.3. Notably, any additional future impacts arising from the "WesternLink HVDC" project will be evaluated by the Committee and potentially neutralised for Participants other than executive directors and/or senior executives who have had a direct, objective responsibility for decisions taken in relation to the most important and/or critical stages of the project (from its acquisition in February 2012 until the handover to the customer in December 2019). Appropriate transparent communication regarding any decisions will be given to the market.

Furthermore, at the end of the three-year performance period, the Committee, as part of the governance procedures concerning remuneration and in any case within the limits permitted by the legislation applicable from time to time and in compliance with the remuneration policy, will have the option, following the final based on the level of achievement of the Objectives assigned, to carry out an assessment of the general consistency between the overall value of the shares to be distributed and the creation of value for the shareholders, understood as the value received as dividends and price appreciation in the performance period, and to propose to the Board of Directors any corrective measures such as the reduction of the total number of shares to be assigned to part or all of the Participants, always maintaining the main incentive purposes of the plan. In any case, the Committee cannot propose to the Board of Directors to increase the number of shares to be distributed within the Plan.

In the event of the acquisition, during the Performance Period, by a party (or more parties with an agreement) of a stake in the share capital of the Company which gives rise to a mandatory public offer ("Change of Control"), the Participant will have the right to receive the Shares pro rata temporis based on the degree of achievement of the Performance Objective at the time of the Change of control.

The Award of the Performance Shares is subject to the continuity of the Employment Relationship during the Vesting Period. The Transfer of a Participant between Group Companies and the change in role will not lead to any change with respect to the rules and amounts defined at the time of the Initial Assignment Date.

  • (1) The relative TSR of the Company is measured against the following Peer Group:
    • ABB Atlas Copco Belden Corning Eurostoxx 600 Industrial Goods & Services Index S&P 500/cap Goods Index NKT Nexans Rexel Schneider Electric Westco

The Eurostoxx 600 Industrial Goods & Services and S&P 500/cap Goods indices are part of the Peer Group and, for the purpose of measuring the TSR of this index, reference will be made to the performance in the period between 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2025 (in the event of closure of the stock markets on these dates, the immediately preceding opening day will be taken as reference). Instead, as regards the measurement of the TSR for the Company and the companies of the Peer Group, the average closing price of the share in the months of January, February, March 2023 and the average closing price of the share in the month of October, November and December 2025. The calculation of the TSR also includes the amount of dividends per share, ordinary and extraordinary, paid to shareholders in the three-year period between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2025.

The rules of the Plan will define the TSR measurement methods in detail, also in relation to, but not limited to, Peer Group corporate events that may be of interest to the company such as, for example, extraordinary transactions, mergers, acquisitions, de-listings, transfers and/or liquidations.

The TSR achieved by the companies making up the Peer Group (The Eurostoxx 600 Industrial Goods & Services and S&P 500/cap Goods indices like two companies), will be ranked in descending order, from the company with the best TSR result to the company with the worst result. If the TSR achieved by Prysmian turns out to be eighth, the threshold level will be considered reached. Any better positions will determine a linear calculation up to the cap.

No shares related to this performance condition will be awarded if Prysmian's relative TSR is lower than that of the four companies in the bottom positions in the ranking.

The regulation of the Plan will envisage the faculty for the Committee to exercise discretion in the overall assessment of the performance achieved and possibly intervene in determining the level of accrual of the shares connected to this Performance Condition.

(2) ESG is measured in relation to the level of achievement of the following indicators by calculating the arithmetic average of the scores achieved.

% of Recycled material
in copper
and PE jacketing
% reduction of GHG
emissions
% of women executives Leadership Impact Index
%
Result Points Result Points Result Points Result Points
Threshold 13.3% 50 -33% 50 21% 50 57% 50
Maximum 16.2% 150 -37% 150 24% 150 61% 150

Results falling between the Threshold and Maximum levels determine a score calculated by linear interpolation. No score is awarded for results below the Threshold level. The Committee may however exercise discretion in the overall assessment of the performance achieved or determine the overall score to be attributed for the ESG Performance Condition, taking into account the results achieved compared to the results set ex-ante within the Threshold-Maximum range.

In the event that a fatal accident unfortunately occurs during the performance period, for the year in which this event occurs, the Performance Shares linked to the ESG targets will be reset to zero, the number of which will automatically be reduced by a third.

With regard to the Deferred Share component of the Plan, the achievement of Performance Conditions is not required as any Allocation of these Shares is the result of the performance already achieved annually and which has determined the Bonus to be partly regulated via its deferred pay-out in Shares. The Allocation of the Deferred Shares is subject to the continuity of the Employment Relationship during the Vesting Period.

As regards the Matching Share component of the Plan, the Allocation of these Shares, with regard at least to the CEO and Top Management, is subject to reaching a minimum of 100 points for the Performance Condition concerning ESG. The Allocation of Matching Shares is subject to the continuity of the Employment Relationship during the Vesting Period.

Note that the Company's annual bonus systems that determine the Deferred Shares and their associated Matching Shares are subject to the achievement of profitability targets (e.g. Adjusted EBITDA), liquidity (e.g. Net Financial Position), environmental and social sustainability, as well as the achievement of financial-economic and operating indicators at Department, Business Unit or Region level and the achievement of individual objectives.

2.3. and 2.3.1. Base factors for determining the amount of financial instrument-based remuneration, i.e. its determination criteria

The criteria for determining the extent of allocable Share-based remuneration are similar to those used for the previous long-term incentive plans. The Allocation of Shares allows a direct connection between value creation for shareholders and remuneration received by the Participants.

With regard to the Performance Share component, the number of Shares that will be allocated to each Participant will be determined on the basis of their role and in relation to fixed and variable remuneration, so as to define for each of them an overall remuneration package that is consistent and balanced with regard to its various components (fixed/variable) and instruments used (cash/equity), in line with the practices of the various local markets in which the Participants operate.

As regards the Deferred Share component, the number of Shares allocated will depend on the value of the Bonus where accrued in the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 and on the reference price at which the Bonuses will be converted into the right to receive the Shares, on a deferred basis and with continuity of the Employment Relationship. The number of Deferred Shares that the Participant is entitled to receive is obtained by dividing the euro value of 50% of the Bonus accrued for each year of the 2023-2025 three-year period by the average closing price of the Share recorded in the 90 calendar days before the Shareholders' Meeting that approves the financial statements for the

years 2022 (relative to the 2023 Bonus), 2023 (relative to the 2024 Bonus) and 2024 (relative to the 2025 Bonus). The number of Shares deriving from the above calculation is rounded down to the nearest whole unit.

As regards the Matching Share component, the number of Shares to be allotted is 0.5 Shares (Matching Share) for each Share allocated as a Deferred Share, rounded down to the nearest whole unit.

2.4 Reasons for any decision to allocate remuneration plans based on financial instruments not issued by the financial instruments issuer, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries, parent companies or third parties with respect to its group; if such instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used for the determination of their attributable value

Not applicable since the Plan is based only on Prysmian Shares.

2.5. Evaluation of significant tax and accounting implications that have impacted on the definition of the plans

There are not significant tax and/or accounting implications that have impacted on the Plan.

The Plan Participants are employees of the Prysmian Group company or its executive directors. The amounts relating to the Plan or the value of the Shares themselves at the time of the actual Allocation will be subject to the tax, social security and/or accounting regulations at the time in force in each country where the Participants were resident during the Vesting Period of the Plan.

2.6. Possible support for the plan by the special Fund for encouraging worker participation in the companies, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 112, of Law No. 350 of 24 December 2003;

The Plan does not receive support from the special Fund for encouraging worker participation in companies, pursuant to art. 4, paragraph 112, of Law No. 350 of 24 December 2003.

3. APPROVAL PROCEDURE AND TIME FRAME FOR ALLOCATION OF INSTRUMENTS

3.1. Scope of the powers and functions delegated by the Board of Directors for the implementation of the Plan

The Committee carried out a detailed preliminary investigation on the Plan, which began in September 2022. The proposal to adopt the Plan was analyzed by the Committee in the meetings of 23 February 2023 and 2 and 6 March 2023 and was examined on 9 March 2023 by the Board of Directors which approved the proposal to submit it to the examination of the Company's Shareholders' Meeting, on 19 April 2023, in a single call.

The Meeting will be asked to grant the Board all necessary and appropriate powers to establish and implement the Plan. However, decisions regarding the Plan will be taken by the Board (with the abstention of those executive directors who are recipients of the Plan) only after receiving the favourable opinion of the Committee, which is made up of independent directors.

In particular, by way of example, the Board of Directors may, subject to the favourable opinion of the Committee and with the right to delegate (i) identify the recipients among the employees of Prysmian Group and, more precisely, among the members of the Board of Directors of Prysmian SpA and employees of Prysmian SpA and its Italian and foreign subsidiaries, determining the amount of Shares to be allocated to each of them; (ii) alter the Performance Conditions governing the Allocation of Shares and/or define corrective measures to ensure consistency between the base assumptions that have determined the results band and the conditions that have actually emerged during the Performance Period, aimed at maintaining an adequate level of convergence between the interests of Participants and those of the shareholders, in the pursuit of sustainable value creation over time, thereby ensuring that the market is adequately notified of the evaluations carried out and changes made; (iii) establish all other terms and conditions for the execution of the Plan; (iv) approve the rules that will govern the Plan.

3.3. Existing procedures for reviewing the Plan also in relation to any change in the basic objectives

The Board of Directors, during the implementation of the Plan, will determine the rules of the Plan, upon consultation with the Committee; these rules will serve as the basis for any procedures for the review of the Plan.

In such cases, the Committee will be called upon to evaluate the effect of such occurrences throughout the entire duration of the Plan and to define corrective actions to ensure consistency between the base assumptions that have determined the result band and the conditions that have actually emerged over the Performance Period, with the aim of maintaining an adequate level of convergence between the interests of the Participants and those of shareholders, in the pursuit of sustainable value creation over time. The Committee will also be called on to evaluate the effect of these events, transactions or circumstances also on the other fundamental features of the Plan and to propose to the Board any changes to the Performance Conditions or other connected and related adjustments. In carrying out these evaluations, the Committee will be called on to make proposals consistent with the basic objectives of the Plan, namely, to motivate Participants to achieve longterm results, creating sustainable value over time; align the interests of management with those of shareholders through the use of share-based incentives, thereby promoting stable participation in the Company's capital;

4. FEATURES OF THE ALLOCATED INSTRUMENTS

4.1 Description of the forms in which financial instrument-based remuneration plans are structured

The Plan provides for the Allocation of Shares free of charge. The Shares will be allocated at the end of the Vesting and Performance Period.

4.2 Effective implementation period of the Plan regarding any alternative cycles envisaged

The Plan has a three-year cycle, from 2023 to 2025.

4.3 End of the plan

The initial identification of Participants is expected to take place in the first half of 2023. Additional Participants can be identified within 18 months of the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting to adopt the Plan. Given that the Plan has a three-year time frame (2023-2025), the Shares will be allocated in 2026 with a lock-up period ending on 31 December 2027.

4.4 Maximum number of financial instruments allocated in each tax year in relation to persons identified by name or to the categories indicated

Overall, there will be a maximum of 9,500,000 Shares serving the Plan for its entire three-year duration. This maximum number of Shares, to be allocated to the Participants in 2024, is estimated based on the achievement of the Plan Performance Conditions at the Maximum level and based also on an estimate of Deferred Shares related to the deferred pay-out of the annual Bonus in Shares the related Matching Shares.

9,500,000 Shares represent the Plan Cap that prevails over the right of Participants to receive the Performance Shares attributable to them. This means that if the sum of the Shares to be allocated to Participants should exceed the Cap at the end of the Plan, the number of Shares that will be allocated as Performance Shares will be proportionally reduced for each of the Participants, in order to meet the limit determined by the Cap. In this case precedence will be given to the Allocation of Shares due as Deferred Shares and Matching Shares.

The Shares necessary for the requirements of the plan will derive from the free capital increase pursuant to art. 2349 of the civil code, which will be proposed to the forthcoming Shareholders' Meeting on 19 April 2023, to which treasury shares in portfolio may be added.

It is estimated that the maximum number of Shares will be distributed as follows: Chief Executive Officer 3%, Top Management 24% Executives 41%, other participants 30%.

4.5 Methods and clauses for implementation of the Plan, specifying whether the effective allocation of the instruments is subject to fulfilment of the conditions or the achievement of certain results including those relating to performance; description of these results and conditions

The Performance Share component of the Allocation of Shares relating to the Plan is subject to the achievement of the Performance Conditions referred to in paragraph 2.2. The Deferred Share component, and consequently the associated Matching Share component, derives from the deferred pay-out of the annual Bonus in Shares, which is also dependent on the achievement of performance targets measured over a one-year period. Furthermore, with regard at least to the CEO and Top Management, the Matching Share component is further subject to the achievement of the ESG Performance Condition, as described more in detail in section 2.2. The rules of the Plan may also include clauses regarding the effects on the Plan of the Change of Control of the Company.

4.6 Availability restrictions on allocated instruments, with particular reference to the terms under which the subsequent transfer to the same company or to third parties is permitted or prohibited

Shares allocated to Participants in connection with the Performance Share component may not be sold, assigned, subject to restrictions or transferred, and any sale, assignment, subjection to restrictions or transfer made in breach of this provision shall be void and, in any case, ineffective with regard to the Company. For all Participants, a lock-

up period of two years applies in relation to a percentage of the allocated Shares. In particular, for the CEO and Top Management, the Lock-up will apply to all allocated Shares net of those needed to cover, where applicable, contribution and tax charges. For other Participants, the Lock-up will refer to 20% of allocated Shares net of those needed to cover, where applicable, contribution and tax charges.

The Company has established a Share Ownership Guideline for the Chief Executive Officer, executive directors and directors with strategic responsibilities. This guideline requires that such persons hold a minimum number of Shares in the Company, determined on the basis of their respective fixed remuneration levels, to be maintained for the entire duration of the Employment Relationship with the Prysmian Group. The levels are set at three times the fixed remuneration for the CEO and 1.5 times the fixed remuneration for executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities.

The rules of the Plan will also provide for Malus and Clawback clauses, which will be activated in the event of objective circumstances that lead to the reinstatement of the financial data of the Company or any other Group company to a level that, if known in time, will have had an impact on the Allocation of the Shares provided under the Plan or in cases of fraud and/or wilful misconduct. The Malus and Clawback clauses may be adapted locally compatibility with local regulations.

4.7 Possible termination clauses regarding the allocation of the plans should the recipients perform hedging operations that enable them to neutralise any prohibitions on selling the allocated financial instruments

The rules of the Plan may provide for the prohibition on hedging operations intended to limit or neutralise the prohibition on the sale of allocated Shares subject to Lock-up.

4.8 Description of the effects of termination of the Employment Relationship

The Allocation of Shares is conditional, inter alia, on the continuity of the Employment Relationship and the effective performance of work. The rules of the Plan will establish the diverse consequences of termination of the Employment Relationship, taking into account the cause and the time at which the termination takes place and its adaptation to various local laws. In particular, it is envisaged that Participants who end the Employment Relationship as "bad leavers", including in this case also voluntary resignation and lawful dismissal for misconduct, lose all rights arising from the Plan. The termination of the Employment Relationship for reasons other than those listed above may instead provide for the Allocation of a portion of the Shares on a pro rata temporis basis, without acceleration of the Vesting Period, and may provide also for maintenance of the Performance Conditions, where applicable, for the various components of the Plan. In the event of the acquisition, during the Performance Period, by a party (or several parties with an agreement) of a stake in the share capital of the Company which gives rise to a mandatory public offer (change of control), the Participant will have the right to receive the Shares pro rata temporis based on the degree of achievement of the Performance Objective at the time of the change of control.

4.9 Indication of any other reasons for cancellation of the plans

In the event of exceptional and/or extraordinary circumstances that may compromise the existence of the fundamental objectives behind the adoption of the Plan itself, the rules may provide for Plan cancellation clauses, deemed appropriate or necessary for the pursuit of the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole.

Any cancellation of the Plan will be approved by the Board, upon proposal by the Committee's, following a detailed examination of the assessments made regarding the need or opportunity to cancel the Plan to pursue the longterm interests of the Company and its shareholders.

4.10. Reasons for possible provision for the company's redemption of the financial instruments, pursuant to articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian the Civil Code

There is no provision for the right to redemption of Shares by the Company.

4.11. Possible loans or other concessions for the purchase of Shares pursuant to article 2358 of the Italian Civil Code

There is no provision for loans.

4.12. Evaluation of expected burden for the company at the allocation date, as determined on the basis of pre-defined terms and conditions, by total amount and for each instrument in the plan

As at the date of this Information Document, the relevance of various unforeseeable factors means that there is insufficient data to calculate reliable estimates of the expected burden for the Company. The administrative costs of managing the Plan are considered insignificant.

4.13 Possible dilutive effects of remuneration plans on capital

The capital increase that will be requested at the next Shareholders' Meeting for the implementation of the Plan amounts to a maximum of 950,000 euro, through the issuance of up to 9,500,000 new Shares of nominal value 0.10 euro each. With regard to the dilutive effect of the operation, considering that the share capital of Prysmian to date consists of 268,144,246 Shares, there is an estimated 3.4% maximum dilution of capital of the entire threeyear cycle of the Plan.

4.14 Possible limits on exercising the right to vote and for the allocation of property rights

There are no envisaged limits on exercising the right to vote and for the Allocation of property rights within the limits set out in this Information Document.

4.23 Criteria for the adjustments required as a result of extraordinary capital transactions and other transactions that involve a change in the number of underlying instruments (capital increases, extraordinary dividends, grouping and splitting of underlying shares, merger and division, conversion operations in other classes of shares etc.)

In the event of implementation of extraordinary capital transactions or other transactions that in each case have a significant impact on the economic amount of the Shares to be allocated to each Participant such as, for example, the distribution of extraordinary dividends or the conversion of bonds, the Company shall undertake to do all in its power, including the possible alteration of the Plan, to ensure that the economic amount of the bonds, the Shares to be allocated undergoes no substantial change, as per the rules of the Plan.
