***

Turning to the discussion of the agenda, at the request of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer firstly recalls that:

  • = the current wording of Article 2410, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code attributes to the administrative body of joint-stock companies the power to resolve on the issue of bonds, in the absence of different legal or statutory regulations, and that Snam's Bylaws do not contain any derogating provisions;
  • = paragraph 1 of Article 2412 of the Italian Civil Code establishes that bonds may be issued for a total sum not exceeding twice the amount of the share capital, legal reserve and available reserves as per the most recently approved financial statements, and paragraph 2 establishes that this limit may be exceeded if the bonds issued in excess are intended for subscription by professional investors subject to prudential supervision pursuant to special laws;

= in addition, pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 2412 of the Italian Civil Code, the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the aforesaid Article do not apply to issues of bonds intended to be listed on regulated markets or in multilateral trading facilities or of bonds that give an entitlement to purchase or subscribe shares.

The Chief Executive Officer reports that he proposes the approval of an authorisation, effective until 31 December 2026, for the issue of a senior, unsecured bond convertible into shares of Italgas S.p.A. ("Italgas") held by Snam, ensuring compliance with the shareholders' agreement between Snam and CDP Reti S.p.A., as amended from time to time (the "Shareholders' Agreement"), (the "Available Shares"), and in particular the threshold of 6.75% of Italgas' share capital, in compliance with the limits set out below (the "Exchangeable Bond").

The Exchangeable Bond is a senior unsecured bond which, unlike a traditional bond, includes an option that gives bondholders the right to benefit from the positive performance of the underlying share (in this case the Italgas share) if its price exceeds a predetermined value (so-called exchange price) which, in turn, incorporates a premium - known as a conversion premium - over the spot value of the share at the time of issue. At maturity, the structure of the instrument allows for settlement of the bond either by physical delivery of the shares or by payment in cash, at the issuer's discretion.

The Chief Executive Officer explains the reasons why, taking into account the market context, it is advisable to proceed with the issuing of the Exchangeable Bond. The aforementioned transaction (hereinafter the "Transaction") would offer certain advantages, including:

  • (i) continuing to benefit from the economic results of the investment, including any distribution flows, while highlighting confidence in the company's development plan and, at the same time, financing itself through a new exchangeable bond at a lower coupon cost than both the exchangeable bond issued in 2023 and the cost of issuing a plain vanilla senior bond with an equivalent maturity;
  • (ii) strengthening Snam's financial structure and diversifying its sources of financing and investor base;

The structure of the Exchangeable Bond would allow Snam, at its discretion, to redeem the value of the bond through: (i) the physical handover of Italgas shares; (ii) an equivalent cash payment (socalled cash settlement); or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). Investors in financial instruments of this type tend to be equitylinked investors and therefore different from investors in bonds issued under the Company's Euro Medium Term Notes Programme (the "EMTN Programme").

The Chief Executive Officer reports that, in accordance with international practice for transactions similar to the one proposed here, the bonds issued under the Exchangeable Bond will be placed by leading banks specialising in transactions similar to the one in question and selected by the Company for the placement of the Exchangeable Bond. The selected banks will subscribe or procure the subscription of the bonds in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the subscription agreement to be signed by the Company and the banks close to the date of issue of the Exchangeable Bond (the "Subscription Agreement");

  • = the Exchangeable Bond, for which authorisation to issue is proposed, shall have the following characteristics:
  • type: senior, unsecured, unsubordinated notes convertible into Italgas Available Shares, within the limits of the Shareholders' Agreement;
  • par value: up to 750,000,000.00 (seven hundred and fifty million/00) euros; any value exceeding the countervalue of the Available Shares will be redeemed exclusively by cash settlement;
  • minimum value of each security: at least 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand/00) euros;
  • recipients: the bonds will be offered for subscription exclusively to qualified investors as defined pursuant to Article 2, paragraph 1, letter (e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 ("Prospectus Regulation"), in the European Economic Area and foreign institutional investors, outside the United States of America within the meaning of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, in any event excluding any placement with the general public, as well as offers in countries and jurisdictions where the offer or placement of the bonds would be prohibited and/or otherwise subject to specific authorisations.
  • form: the bonds will be represented by a global certificate ("Global Bond") and will be centralised in the Euroclear/Clearstream management system; certificates representing individual securities will only be issued under specific circumstances expressly set out in the documentation;
  • circulation regime: registered-form bonds;
  • maturity: up to 5 (five) years, with the option of early redemption for both the issuer (i.e. callable bond) and the holder of the security (i.e. puttable bond), options analytically established in the Exchangeable Bond regulations.

  • issue price: not less than 95% and not more than 105% of the par value of the instrument. The issue price will be determined in accordance with the overall yield offered to subscribers and the market conditions at the time of issue;
  • interest rate: coupon with a maximum value not exceeding 3%;
  • payment of interest: with a six-monthly coupon;
  • redemption: at par, in a lump sum at maturity, subject to the hypotheses of early redemption which will be analytically established in the Exchangeable Bond regulations;
  • Cash settlement option: possibility of handling redemption and conversion requests through cash payments at Snam's full discretion in order to comply with the Shareholders' Agreement and, in particular, the threshold of 6.75% of Italgas' share capital.
  • conversion premium: equal to a minimum value of 10% of the price of the Italgas share underlying the Exchangeable Bond defined at the time of issuance thereof;
  • sustainability features: the instrument may have an ESG component in accordance with one of the structures provided for in Snam's Sustainable Finance Framework.
  • issuer commitments: issuer commitments and events of default are expected to be substantially in line with the issues made under Snam's EMTN Programme;
  • applicable law: English law, except for the provisions governing the bondholders' meetings and the bondholders' representative, which are subject to the applicable rules of Italian law;
  • Euronext Access Milan trading market, an unregulated market (multilateral trading facility) of the Milan Stock Exchange or placement on a different internationally recognised, regularly operating, regulated or unregulated stock exchange in a Member State of the European Union or in a white-listed State belonging to the European Economic Area;

The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors takes the floor and, on behalf of the entire Board of Statutory Auditors, acknowledges that the proposed bond issue authorisation is exempt from the limits established in Article 2412, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Italian Civil Code, since Article 2412, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code will apply to them, as these bonds are intended for listing on regulated markets or multilateral trading facilities.

The Chairwoman submits the following resolution proposals for the approval of the Board:
