The Chair will be assisted in polling operations by the staff of Computershare S.p.A., a company that also assists Saipem in recording votes.
Having ascertained the identity and legitimacy of the Shareholders, having examined the communications issued pursuant to current legislation and having verified the legitimacy of the proxies conferred in accordance with current legislation, the Chair read out the breakdown of represented Shareholders: 10 Shareholders entitled to vote, of which 7 attending in person, representing no. 1,215,092,982 ordinary shares, equal to 60.889894% of the share capital. She reserved the right to provide more up-to-date data on attendance before the vote.

The Chair declared the Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting to be valid and fit to resolve on the sole item on the Agenda. She reminded the meeting that resolutions could not be proposed during the meeting on items that were not on the agenda. The Chair opened the proceedings and addressed the sole item on the agenda. She reminded all that on August 30, 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to issue equity-linked bonds, with a nominal amount of €500,000,000.00 (five hundred million/00), due on September 11, 2029, reserved for qualified investors, called "€500,000,000 Senior Unsecured Guaranteed Equity-linked Bonds due 2029" (the "Bond Issue" and the bonds issued under the Bond Issue, the "Bonds").
The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting is asked to review the proposal to envisage and authorize the convertibility of the aforementioned Bonds into shares of the Company and, consequently, the proposal to increase the share capital, in connection with the conversion of the Bonds, for cash and in divisible form, excluding Shareholders pre-emption rights pursuant to art. 2441, Paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code, for a maximum amount of €500,000,000.00 (five hundred million/00), including any share premium, to be executed in one or more tranches through the issue of new ordinary shares of the Company with regular entitlement, having the same characteristics as outstanding ordinary shares (the "Capital Increase").
The proposed Capital Increase shall enable the Company to issue new Shares in connection with the conversion of the Bonds. The Chair pointed out that the Directors' Report, prepared also pursuant to Article 2441, Paragraph 6, of the Italian Civil Code

and Article 72 of Issuers' Regulations, provides a thorough illustration of the proposal to authorize the conversion of the Bonds and the Capital Increase.
The Directors' Report also contains the proposed amendment to Article 5 of the Articles of Association, resulting from the authorization, if approved, of the aforementioned Capital Increase.
As already mentioned when opening proceedings, the Chair recalled that, on November 17, 2023 the External Auditors issued their fairness opinion on the issue price of the Company's shares, pursuant to Articles 2441, Paragraphs 5 and 6, of the Italian Civil Code, and Article 158, Paragraph 1, of CLF.

The Chair handed over to the CEO and General Manager Mr. Puliti. The CEO was glad he had the opportunity to meet the Shareholders in person and host the meeting in the new registered office after a long period in which, for reasons well known to all, it was not possible to hold Shareholders' Meetings in person.

He explained that, as indicated in the agenda, this Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting was summoned in connection with the Bond Issue, which took place at the end of August 2023. He considered it useful to, first of all, recall the reasons why the Company decided to undertake this financial transaction and explain how important and positive it is for Saipem, both from a financial and strategic point of view.
The CEO then underlined the immediate benefits, i.e., a significant saving in financial charges, spread over a period of six years, and the increased financial flexibility resulting from the availability of new long-term funds.
The interest rate the Company would have had to pay to investors in a traditional bond issue, under the same terms and conditions, is quantifiable at around 6% per annum. The interest rate paid on convertible bonds is 2.875% per annum, resulting in a saving, over the 6-year Bond Issue, of approximately €94 million, a very significant amount.
Thus, he added, the average duration of the Saipem Group's debt was extended, cash and financial flexibility were increased, financing sources were diversified, and refinancing risk was reduced.
The positive way in which the market of convertible bond investors received the Bonds was cause for satisfaction and encouragement for Saipem. In fact, demand for the convertible bonds issued by Saipem amounted to more than five times the amount of the issue. This made it possible to obtain the best possible interest rate and conversion price, which was set at €2.0487 per share.

This conversion price corresponds to a premium of 37.5% with respect to the so-called reference price of Saipem shares set on August 30, 2023, and to a premium of approximately 49% with respect to the closing price on December 12, 2023. Based on this price, if the entire Bond is converted, approximately 244 million new Saipem shares would be issued, an amount equal to approximately 12.2% of the current number of shares.
In the event of future conversion, there would therefore be an increase in Saipem's equity of €500 million and a dilution of existing Shareholders of approximately 10.9%.
For example, if upon maturity of the Bonds, the price of Saipem shares should be €1.90, i.e., lower than the conversion price of €2.0487 per share, the Bond would not be converted (because there would be no advantage in converting) and no dilution would occur.
If, on the other hand, on the due date of the Bonds, the price of Saipem shares should be, for example, €2.1487, i.e. 10 cents higher than the conversion price, the Bond would be converted and the increase in the number of shares resulting from the conversion (accompanied by an increase in equity of €500 million) would result in a theoretical decrease in the share price from €2.1487 to €2.1378 (approximately 0.5% lower). The issue of convertible bonds therefore guarantees concrete and immediate benefits, i.e., interest savings, against a potential limited future dilution of the current Shareholders, which would only occur if the value of Saipem's shares had increased by at
16
least 49% with respect to their current value.

This is the objective the Company has been working very hard to achieve. For similar reasons, Saipem's competitors have also made extensive use of this instrument over time.
The Company believes that the benefits described fully justify the Shareholders' vote in favour of the Board of Directors' proposal.
The Chair thanked the CEO for his speech.
In compliance with Article 2420-bis of the Italian Civil Code, she declared, and on behalf of the Board of Statutory Auditors, its Chairman Mr. Fiori confirmed, that Saipem's current share capital is fully subscribed and paid up.
I, the Notary, then read out the proposed resolution as transcribed below.
The Chair opened the discussion.
The Shareholder Enrico Pedretti appreciated the choice of the Bond instrument, although he believes that the conversion price is penalizing current Shareholders, whose expectation is that the share value (which in January 2022 was €5) will return to well above €2.0487 during the term of the Bond. He also complained about the failure to offer the Bonds to retail Shareholders. He pointed out that the market had received the Bond Issue with uncertainty and called for greater attention to be paid in future to improve communication; he concluded by lamenting the speculation to which the stock is subjected.
The Shareholder Giuseppe Trinchese appreciated the fact that, despite the transaction under discussion today, Saipem is showing significant signs of recovery; he believes that the transaction is transparent, clear, straightforward and expedient for the Company.

No one else having asked for the floor, the Chair ordered the meeting to be adjourned from 11.50 to 12.05 hrs.
Having resumed proceedings, the CEO provided answers to the Shareholders' interventions. First, he confirmed the management's ambition to bring the share value to the highest possible level, specifying that therefore €2.0487 should in no way be understood as a limit to the share growth; more generally, he assured the Shareholders of the management's utmost commitment to satisfying them. He emphasized that conversion price and interest rate are interrelated variables: a higher rate would have allowed for a higher conversion price, however, it was deemed to be in the Company's interest to obtain financing at the lowest possible cost. Furthermore, he pointed out that the established practice is to offer this type of instruments to institutional investors and not to the so-called retail market. He assured the meeting that no shortcomings or inaccuracies were reported by the institutional investors he met personally, concerning the press releases disclosed to the market.
The Chair closed the discussion and asked the personnel of Computershare S.p.A. to state any changes in the number of attendees, if any: there are 11 Shareholders present at the Shareholders' Meeting entitled to vote, 8 of which are present in person, representing 1,215,106,662 ordinary shares, equal to 60.902746% of the share capital.
The Chair then (at 12.07 hrs) put to the vote the aforementioned proposal by the Board of Directors, which was read out and transcribed below. She invited the Shareholders to utilize the

voting electronic devices and the Designated Representative to express in accordance with the instructions received: "The Shareholders' Meeting of Saipem S.p.A., convened in extraordinary session,
