For Subscribed and Allocated Shares, there is a Holding Period of 36 months in line with international best practices.

Category Number of Loyalty Shares
MSRs/Non-MSRs 1 Share for every 10 Subscribed

Middle managers/Desk 1 Share for every 4 Subscribed
workers/Non-desk workers and Allocated Shares;

The Chief Executive Officer is excluded from the

allocation of Loyalty Shares, being able to receive a maximum of 1 Share as Matching Shares.

APPROVAL PROCESS AND TIMING FOR ALLOCATING INSTRUMENTS

The number of Subscribed Shares, rounded down to the nearest unit, will be determined by dividing the amount invested defined on a voluntary basis by each Participant - within the limits of the caps set by the Company - by the Allocation Value of the Snam Shares.

The number of Allocated Shares, rounded down to the nearest unit, will be determined by dividing the amount invested defined on a voluntary basis by each Participant - within the limits of the caps established by applicable tax legislation - by the Allocation Value of the Snam Shares.

During the Holding Period and the Loyalty Share Holding Period, the Participant enjoys all rights from time to time in force and deriving from the ownership of Snam Shares, including, by way of example, the right to receive dividends, if resolved.

The Plan does not envisage making the allocation of financial instruments conditional on previously determined performance objectives. In the implementation stage of the Plan, when the characteristics and specific implementation methods will be defined in detail and will be governed in the Implementing Regulation, specific conditions for the accrual of the rights to allocate Shares may be provided.

The maximum annual value of the Allocated Shares cannot exceed the tax limits in force at any given time (currently equal to €2,065), in line with best market practices.

The Allocated Shares will be allocated to the Participants within specific timeframes identified by the Company during the implementation of the Plan. The number of Shares that each Participant receives will then be determined according to the amount of their own resources or the converted Company Performance Bonus and the Allocation Value. In particular, the Allocation Value is equal to the market price calculated by the intermediary delegated by the Participants in the manner that will be defined by the Company when implementing the Plan.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ASSIGNED INSTRUMENTS

3.3. Existing procedures, if any, for reviewing the plans also in relation to possible changes in the basic objectives

In order to keep the essential contents of the Plan unchanged as far as possible, the Board of Directors will proceed to regulate emerging rights and/or to modify and/or supplement the conditions for allocating Shares when certain transactions take place, including, by way of example and not limited to, capital increases, the splitting and regrouping of the Share. The Board of Directors will have the right to make any amendments or additions to the Implementing Regulation (once it has been approved), in the most appropriate way, that it deems useful or necessary to better achieve the purposes of the Plan, taking into account the interests of the Participants and the Company in compliance with regulations on transactions with related parties, where applicable, including in cases

of a takeover bid and/or exchange the Company's Shares, or other similar transaction, which determines the acquisition of control by the offeror, or any other case of a change in control.

The Plan, in relation to its beneficiaries, constitutes a transaction with related parties subject to the approval of the shareholders' meeting pursuant to Article 114 bis of the TUF, so the specific procedures provided for by Consob resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 as amended by resolution no. 17389 of 23 June 2010 ('Related Party Transactions Regulations') do not apply. Since the Appointments and Compensation Committee is composed exclusively of non-executive directors, there are no conflict-of-interest situations in this regard as no non-executive director is the recipient of the Plan.

4.1. Description of the forms in which compensation plans based on financial instruments are structured.

Under the Plan, Shares (Welcome Shares and Matching Shares) will be allocated and the rights of Loyalty Shares will be granted according to the implementing conditions set for by the Implementing Regulation and provided that on the Date of Allocation, specifically for each individual portion of Shares, the Participant has not resigned or he/she is not under a period of notice of termination.

To serve the Plan, treasury shares held by the Company will be allocated for Shares Subscribed with the Conversion of the Company Performance Bonus, for Matching Shares, for Welcome Shares and for Loyalty Shares. Instead, Shares Subscribed with Own Resources will be purchased on the market through a special intermediary.

For more information, please refer to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above.

4.2. The indication of the period of effective implementation of the Plan, also referring to any different cycles envisaged.

The Plan includes three allocation cycles relating to the competence years 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The Allocated Shares will be credited to the Participants on an annual basis within specific timeframes identified during the implementation of the Plan.

Therefore, the Matching Shares arising from the subscription with own resources will be allocated to the Participants in 2025, 2026 and 2027. The Matching Shares arising from the conversion of the Company Performance Bonus will be allocated to the Participants for 2025, 2026 and 2027 conditional on the final results of the Company Performance Bonus. Any Welcome Shares will be allocated to the Participants in 2025, 2026 and 2027 only on the occasion of first-time subscription to the Plan and any Loyalty Shares will be allocated to the Participants at the end of each Holding Period only and exclusively against the commitment to have an additional period of 36 months where the Shares are unavailable (socalled Loyalty Share Holding Period).

The vesting of the Subscribed Shares and Allocated Shares under the Plan is immediate.

In the implementation stage of the Plan, when its characteristics will be defined in detail, some of these characteristics may be changed in any case, to guarantee compliance with local legislation and applicable tax and social security regulations and to facilitate implementation for the purposes of a widerranging participation.

4.3. Plan termination

For more information, please refer to Section 4.2 above.

4.4. The maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, allocated in each tax year in relation to the persons identified or the indicated categories

A maximum of 27 million Shares in total are expected to be used to serve the 2025-2027 Plan, for its entire duration (three Cycles, 2025, 2026 and 2027). As regards Shares Subscribed with the Conversion of the Company Performance Bonus, Matching Shares, Welcome Shares and Loyalty Shares, treasury shares held by the Company will be allocated. As regards Shares Subscribed with Own Resources, Participants will give an intermediary a special mandate to purchase the Shares on the market. Shares Subscribed with the Conversion of the Company Performance Bonus will result from the replacement of the payment of a portion of the Company Performance Bonus.

The number of Shares actually used under the Plan will depend on the number of Participants, the amount of the Shares Subscribed with Own Resources, the Shares Subscribed with Conversion of the Company Performance Bonus and the Allocation Value.

4.5. The methods and clauses for implementing the plan, specifying whether the actual allocation of the instruments is subject to the occurrence of conditions or to the achievement of certain results, including performance results; description of such conditions and results.

For more information, please refer to Sections 2.2, 4.1 and 4.2 above.

4.6. Indication of any restriction on the availability of the instruments allocated or on the instruments deriving from the exercise of the options, with particular reference to the terms within which the subsequent transfer to the company or to third parties is allowed or prohibited.

The Subscribed Shares and the Allocated Shares will be freely transferable without prejudice to the Holding Period and any Holding Period of the Loyalty Shares, in the context of which the Participant commits to a restriction of non-disposability and non-transferability in relation to the Allocated Shares, save for limited exceptions to be provided for by the Implementing Regulation of the Plan.

The rights assigned in relation to Loyalty Shares are personal, not transferable or available inter vivos and cannot be pledged or guaranteed. The rights will become ineffective following an attempted transfer or trading including, by way of example, any attempt at a transfer inter vivos or, in application of the law, or through a pledge or other real right, seizure and distraint.

The Subscribed Shares, the Matching Shares and the Welcome Shares may be subject, upon the Participant's free and voluntary choice, to an additional commitment of unavailability for sale for a further 36 months (so-called Loyalty Share Holding Period).

4.7. The description of possible termination conditions in relation to the allocation of the plans in the event that the beneficiaries carry out hedging transactions that allow to neutralize any prohibitions on the sale of the assigned financial instruments, also in the form of options, or of the financial instruments resulting from the exercise of such options.

Not applicable with respect to Subscribed Shares, Matching Shares, Welcome Shares and Loyalty Shares as they are freely transferable, subject to compliance with the Holding Period and any Holding Period of the Loyalty Shares.

The hedging of rights by the Participant before the allocation of Loyalty Shares will result in the loss of the rights.

4.8. Description of the effects caused by the termination of the employment

The award of Allocated Shares is conditional, among other things, on the Participant being an employee of the Group with a continual employment relationship and not under a notice period of termination.

In the Plan implementation stage, the Implementing Regulation will establish the different effects in the event of a possible termination of the employment relationship, depending on the cause and the time when the termination takes place. By way of example only, in the event of termination of the employment relationship pending the Holding Period, the Loyalty Shares, under certain conditions, will not be subject to allocation, unless the Company decides otherwise at its discretion.
