Shareholders,
the purpose of this report (the "Report") is to illustrate the proposal that the Board of Directors of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. (the "Company") intends to submit for your approval with regard to the adoption of a new text of the Company's Shareholders' Meeting Regulation (the "Regulation") to replace the current one, most recently approved on March 30, 2011, a comparison of which is highlighted in the attached text (Attachment 1).
In fact, it is recalled that Article 135-undecies.1 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 ("TUF") introduced by Law No. 21 of March 5, 2024, "Interventions in support of capital competitiveness and delegation to the Government for the organic reform of the provisions on capital markets set forth in the Consolidated Act referred to in egislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998, and of the provisions on capital companies contained in the Civil Code also applicable to issuers," published in the Official Gazette on March 12, 2024 and entered into force on March 27, 2024, in the wake of the emergency regulations issued during the pandemic by Covid 19 (Article 106 of Decree-Law No. 18 of March 17, 2020, so-called Decree "Cura Italia" converted, with amendments, by Law No. 27 whose validity was most recently extended until December 31, 2024 by the same Law No. 21/2024) and leveraging on the widespread use by listed companies of the institution of the appointed representative referred to in Article 135-undecies of the TUF as the exclusive mode of intervention in the shareholders' meeting even after that period, it introduced the possibility of providing in the bylaws that the intervention in the shareholders' meeting and the exercise of voting rights take place exclusively through the representative appointed by the company pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the TUF, to whom proxies or sub-delegations pursuant to Article 135-novies of the TUF may also be conferred, as an exception to Article 135-undecies, paragraph 4, of the TUF.
Taking into account the above, also in order to enable the Company to avail itself of the option provided by the newly introduced Article 135-undecies.1 of the TUF, the Company has submitted to your attention certain amendments to the Bylaws, including the amendment of Article 14 of the Bylaws in order to introduce the possibility for the Board of Directors to provide in the notice of call that attendance and the exercise of voting rights at the Shareholders' Meeting may take place exclusively by granting proxy (or sub-delegation) of voting rights to the representative appointed by the Company in the manner provided for by the legal and/or regulatory provisions in force pro tempore. For more information in this regard, please refer to the Report on item 1. on the agenda, extraordinary part, of the November 26, 2024 Shareholders' Meeting.

As a result of recent bylaws changes in the area of Shareholders' Meetings of listed companies and subject to the approval by the Shareholders of the aforementioned amendment to Article 14 of the Bylaws, the Company intends to propose the following amendments to the Regulation in order to align their contents with the new text of the Bylaws.
On this occasion, the Company also intends to propose some further minimal amendments to the Regulation aimed, on the one hand, at taking into account the use of the technological means currently available to facilitate the conduct of the meetings and, on the other hand, at introducing some adaptations of a purely operational and formal/stylistic nature.
Precisely:
In addition to the provisions that already govern the Shareholders' Meeting in attendance, it has been expressly provided that, where indicated in the notice of call of meeting in accordance with the law and/or pro tempore regulatory provisions in force, attendance and the exercise of voting rights at the Shareholders' Meeting by those entitled to attend shall take place exclusively by proxy or sub-delegation of voting rights to the representative appointed by the Company, with the clarification that in such an eventuality the articles of the Regulation governing the procedures for shareholders to attend and intervene in physical presence shall not apply.
For this purpose, the following have also been: a. specified the methods of personal identification and verification of entitlement to intervene in the case of a physical Shareholders' Meeting and in the case of recourse to the Exclusively Appointed Representative; b. regulated the methods of connection of the Exclusively Appointed Representative to the Shareholders' Meeting; c. governed the procedures for the recording of speeches in the event of recourse to the Exclusively Appointed Representative, it being understood that in such a case the presentation of resolution proposals at the Shareholders' Meeting is not permitted and the right to ask questions on the items on the agenda may only be exercised prior to the Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the procedures and timing provided for in the notice of call and in compliance with the provisions of law or regulations in force pro tempore; d. regulate the hypotheses of interruption, temporary or permanent, of the Shareholders' Meeting proceedings where they are held through recourse to the Exclusively Appointed Representative.
The following aspects have been regulated: a. the modality of personal identification and verification of legitimacy to speak if the Shareholders' Meeting is held by means of teleconferencing or videoconferencing; b. the modality of recording votes cast by means of electronic equipment involving the use of magnetic cards or other electronic devices; c. the case of interruption, temporary or permanent, of the Shareholders' Meeting proceedings if they are held by means of teleconferencing or videoconferencing.

The following aspects have been clarified: a. the modalities of participation of Directors and Statutory Auditors in the Shareholders' Meeting as well as the powers of the Chairman in relation to the modalities of admission of invitees; b. the modalities of verbalization of speeches and the persons in charge of this activity; c. some aspects relating to the modality of holding the discussion and the proper, regular and orderly conduct of the Shareholders' Meeting; d. some aspects relating to the modality of voting; e. some elements of a formal nature (by way of example, the name of the Company has been updated and a reference to the proxy representatives of the entitled parties has been included, also in the case of a physical Shareholders' Meeting).
In light of the above, we therefore submit the following proposed resolution for your approval:
"The Shareholders' Meeting of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. convened in ordinary session, having heard and approved the statements made by the Board of Directors
