Omissis.

I am complying with the request made to me and record that the Board meeting (having already debated the previous Agenda items, which are the subject of separate Minutes) is held, with regards to the debate on item six, letter (C) on the agenda, as follows. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Appearing Party takes the chair, in his aforesaid capacity, and once again notes and acknowledges that:

• the meeting had been called with a notice sent on 5 October 2020, by electronic mail to all parties entitled pursuant to article 15 of the Company Bylaws;

The Chairman then again declares that the meeting is properly constituted and entitled to resolve on the item six, letter (C) on the agenda.

The Chief Executive Officer, at the request of the Chairman, moves on to debate the above and reminds those present that Art. 2410 of the Italian Civil Code grants to the administrative body - unless otherwise provided for in the Company's Bylaws - power to issue non-convertible bonds. Furthermore, art. 2412 of the

Italian Civil Code: (i)provides that bonds may be issued for a total sum that does not exceed double the share capital, legal reserve and available reserves as stated in the last financial statements approved, and (ii) excludes the application of said limits in case of issue of bonds destined 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, firstly, reports that the issue of non-convertible bonds (EMTN Programme), resolved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 4 June 2012 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg. no. 18.496/binder 5.955 of Milan Notary Piergaetano Marchetti, registered at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 19 June 2012, no. 22130, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 7 June 2012), subsequently renewed on 11 June 2013 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg. no. 9,840/binder 5,145 of Milan Notary Carlo Marchetti, registered at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 21 June 2013, no. 19798, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 26 June 2013), on 23 June 2014 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg. no. 10,961/binder 5,646 of Milan Notary Carlo Marchetti, registered

at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 08 July 2014, no. 18030, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 09 July 2014), on 22 June 2015 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg. no. 12,103/binder 6,294 of Milan Notary Carlo Marchetti, registered at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 14 July 2015, no. 19444, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 01 July 2015), on 27 September 2016 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg.no. 13,281/binder 6,955 of my index registered at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 14 October 2016, no. 34241, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 03 October 2016), and on 06 October 2017 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg.no. 14,039/binder 7,420 of Milan Notary Carlo Marchetti, registered at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 26 October 2017, no. 35456, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 06 October 2017), on 02 October 2018 (as set out in the minutes of the same date reg. no. 6,253/binder 3,296 of Notary Andrea De Costa, registered at the Milan 2 Agenzia delle Entrate on 26 October 2018, no. 53335, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 03 October 2018)and on 02 October 2019 (as

set out in the minutes of the same date reg.no. 15,248/binder 8,165 of my index registered at the Milan 1 Agenzia delle Entrate on 25 October 2019, no. 36101, series 1T and duly registered in the appropriate Business register on 25 October 2019) expired on 2 October 2020.

The Chief Executive Officer points out that non-convertible bonds for total of approximately 8,279,000.00 euros had been issued under this EMTN Programme, all with bond issues listed on regulated markets or in multilateral trading systems and therefore not relevant as regards compliance with the quantity limits.

Therefore, the Chief Executive Officer presents the proposal to renew the EMTN Programme, and, therefore, to authorise an operation consisting of the new issue of one or more bond issues destined to be subscribed by qualified investors according to the terms and conditions and arrangements of the Programme. He emphasises that this operation would enable Snam to implement a debit definition manoeuvre intended to: (i) support the development programmes of the Company; (ii) pursue an adequate balance in sources of funding between banks and securities; (iii) maintain a financial structure that would be balanced in

terms of the ratio of short and medium term debt and the debt maturity profile, and (iv) acquire financial resources at competitive costs.

In light of the above, the Chief Executive Officer therefore proposes that the renewal of the EMTN Programme be authorised, and therefore that the Board authorises one or more nonconvertible bond issues, each to be issued in one or more tranches, within the period of one year from 12 October 2020, for a maximum total countervalue of the EMTN Programme of 11,000,000,000.00 euros and a maximum amount (also as countervalue in other currencies) to be issued within one year from 12 October 2020 of 2,720,109,000.00 euros, increased by the corresponding amount of the bonds from time to time redeemed over the same period; it remains understood in any case that the total nominal value of the bonds issued under the EMTN Programme may in no case exceed the maximum limit of 11,000,000,000.00 euros. All the bonds will be placed with institutional investors operating principally in Europe, according to the terms and arrangements of the EMTN programme.

The bonds will be regulated by English law and could be, but do not necessarily have to be, listed on one or more regulated and

unregulated markets (so called multilateral trading systems). The Chief Executive Officer then summarises the characteristics of the operation, which are in line with those of previous years: - articulation: also in several issues, and each also into several tranches;

• subscribers: qualified investors according to the terms and conditions and arrangements of the Programme;

• duration: the duration of the single issues and tranches will be based on the market conditions in force at the time of issue and in any event no longer than 50 years, including those with the right to early redemption;

• use of proceeds: the sums collected from the bond issues can be used each time both for general corporate activities and to finance specific projects such as for example in the case of the issue of "climate action bonds", "transition bonds";

• issue currency: euros or other currency;

• units: a minimum of 100,000.00 euros, corresponding to the nominal value (or equivalent if in another currency);

• issue price: the issue price, which may be different for each single emission or tranche, will be set according to the overall yield offered to subscribers at the market conditions in force

at the time of the issues and in any event no less than 90% and no more than 110% of the nominal value of the bonds;

• interest rate: the interest rate, which may be different for each of the single issues or tranches and which may also be linked to an external benchmark (such as, by way of example, the inflation rate), shall be fixed (Fixed Rate Notes), no more than 4.5%, or variable (Floating Rate Notes), no more than the reference rate (as defined in the Programme, purely as an example, among others, the EURIBOR) increased by a margin aligned with the market conditions in force at the time of issue, it being in any event understood that the maximum margin, where applicable, shall be 2.5%;

• applicable law: English law, apart from the meetings of bondholders, which shall be regulated by Italian law and in any event in such a way as to not conflict with Italian law;

• listing: the bonds could be, but do not necessarily have to be, listed on one or more regulated and unregulated markets (so called multilateral trading systems);

• redemption: in a single solution upon maturity or in several tranches of equal amounts, without prejudice to the issuer's right to proceed to early redemption with notice; all according

to the terms and conditions contained in the bond itself;

• placement commissions: no more than 0.75% of the nominal value of the issues and in any event aligned with the market conditions in force at the time.

In reiterating that the final term for the issue of the bonds is one year starting from 12 October 2020, the Chief Executive Officer points out that upon expiry the EMTN Programme may be renewed again, and in that case, the subsequent appropriate resolutions would again be submitted to the Board.

The Chief Executive Officer recalls that there are no impediments for the issue of the non-convertible bond to which the day's proposal referred in the terms and limits set out above, since article 2412, subsection one, of the Italian Civil Code had been found to have been respected.

The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors states, on behalf of the whole Board of Statutory Auditors and pursuant to article 2412, subsection one, of the Italian Civil Code, to the extent necessary, that the proposed bond issue respects the limits set out in article 2412 of the Italian Civil Code considering the bonds currently issued and listed and it being understood that, if the bonds are not to be listed on one or more regulated

markets, art. 2412, subsection 2, of the Italian Civil Code shall apply to the bonds.

Therefore, the Board of Directors:

• having noted the law on the subject of the issuance of bonds set out in articles 2410 and 2412 of the Italian Civil Code;

• having noted the bonds currently in existence;

• having heard the report of the Chief Executive Officer;

• subject to the fulfilment of all obligations and the respect of all conditions prescribed in the applicable regulations, and with the commitment to report to the Board on the state of execution of the operations set out above:
