The Board of Statutory Auditors in office at that time submitted to the Board of Directors a reasoned recommendation containing the name of two Independent Auditors suitable to replace the one that is due to expire, expressing preference for one of them. This recommendation was developed at the end of a detailed selection procedure that was carried out in compliance with the provisions contained in Regulation (EU) 2014/537;

The reports on the Separate financial statements and the Consolidated financial statements do not give rise to any observations or requests for information.

• to the Report on operations;
• to the information referred to in Art.123-bis, paragraph 4, Legislative Decree 58/98 contained in the Report on corporate governance and ownership structures.

In the audit work, a special attention was paid to the key aspects relating to the impairment test. Moreover, the reports issued by the Independent Auditors do not reveal any significant shortcomings in the Company's internal control system for financial information and accounting system.

The Board of Statutory Auditors supervised the independence of the Independent Auditors EY S.p.A., verifying the type and extent of services other than auditing with reference to SABAF and its subsidiaries and obtaining explicit confirmation from the Independent Auditors that the independence requirement was met. The statement on independence has been included, pursuant to Art. 11, paragraph 2, letter a), of Regulation (EU) 2014/537, in the above-mentioned Additional Report.

• in pursuance of CONSOB Resolution 15519/2006, the effects of transactions with related parties are expressly indicated in the financial statements. In pursuance of this Resolution in the Explanatory Notes, it is specified that during the year there were no significant non-recurring events or operations and no transactions deriving from atypical and/or unusual operations were carried out;
• the Financial statements are in keeping with the facts and information of which the Board of Statutory Auditors has become aware within its supervisory duties and its control and inspection powers;

In relation to the presentation of the Consolidated disclosure of non-financial information, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in compliance with Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016, supervised compliance with the provisions set out in the decree itself and in CONSOB resolution no. 20267 of 18 January 2018 for the preparation of the statements in question, also acquiring the certification issued by the appointed auditor EY S.p.A. today. This activity did not reveal any facts that could be reported in this report.

Periodic meetings with the management and the company in charge of Internal Audit did not reveal any critical elements to be reported in this report.

Finally, we acknowledged that to date no communications have been received from the Control Bodies of the Subsidiaries containing findings to be noted in this report.

Supervisory activity on related-party transactions

In relation to the provisions of Art. 2391 bis of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors

acknowledges that the Board of Directors adopted a procedure for the regulation of Related-Party Transactions, whose main objective is to define the guidelines and criteria for identifying related-party transactions and setting out roles, responsibilities and operating methods so as to guarantee, for such transactions, adequate information transparency and the related procedural and substantial correctness.

That procedure was prepared in compliance with what was established by the CONSOB Regulation on Related Parties (no.17221 dated 12 March 2010 as amended) and was last updated by the Board of Directors on 25 September 2018.

The Board of Statutory Auditors supervised the effective application of the rules by the Company and has no observations to make in this regard in this Report.

Risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic

In the Report on Operations, the Company highlighted the initiatives taken to contain the impact on the Company of the worldwide spread of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, as required by Consob Warning Notice no. 1/2021.

The SABAF Group set up a dedicated task force to deal with this emergency situation and implemented mitigation actions to reduce the economic consequences while safeguarding the safety and health of workers.

The Notes to the Financial Statements acknowledge that "the Group assessed that it is a going concern in accordance with paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1, also due to the strong competitive position, high profitability and solidity of the financial structure."

The Board of Statutory Auditors paid particular attention to the assessment carried out by the Company, both with regard to the existence of the going concern requirement and to the adequacy of the internal control system.

In 2020, given the uncertainty that marked the first half of the year in particular, the Shareholders' Meeting of 4 May 2020, in accordance with the proposal made by the Board of Directors, resolved to allocate the entire 2019 net profit to reserves. This proposal was made, on a prudential basis, in view of the uncertainties of the emergency period.

However, the reassuring results at 30 June 2020 and the positive business trend in the following months subsequently allowed the distribution of a dividend of €0.35 per share (total dividends of approximately €3.9 million), approved by the shareholders' meeting on 29 September 2020 and paid on 14 October 2020. On 23 March 2021, the Board of Directors decided to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting that the Company's 2020 profit be allocated as follows:

• a dividend of €0.55 per share to be paid to shareholders as from 3 June 2021;

• the remainder to the Extraordinary Reserve.

Proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting

The Board of Statutory Auditors expresses its favourable opinion for the approval of the Separate financial statements at 31 December 2020 and has no objections to make to the draft resolution presented by the Board of Directors as formulated in the Directors' Report on Operations.
