On 17 March 2020, the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, called for 23 April 2020, to approve, pursuant to and in accordance with Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law, to adopt a plan for the allocation without consideration of rights to receive ordinary shares of the Company, known as the "2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan" (the "2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan"), by awarding up to a maximum of 900,000 shares of the Company. The Performance Shares Plan is reserved to managers of the Technogym Group identified among employees and/or independent partners of the Company or Subsidiaries as holding relevant managerial positions, or in any case as being in a position to make a significant contribution to the pursuit of the strategic objectives of the Company and/or the Group, which includes, therefore, the Key Managers of the Company. Terms and conditions of the 2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan, including potential beneficiaries and the corresponding values, are described (i) in the information document drafted pursuant to Art. 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and in compliance with Scheme No. 7 of Annex 3A to the same Issuers' Regulation ("Information Document"), published on 26 March 2020, (ii) in the remuneration report drafted pursuant to Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law and Art. 84 quater of the Issuers' Regulation and in compliance with Scheme No. 7-bis of Annex 3A to the same Issuers' Regulation ("Remuneration Report"), published on 1 April 2020. The Information Document, the Remuneration Report and the 2019 draft financial statements are available at the registered office and on the website of the Company www.technogym.com, in the Investor Relations/Governance/Shareholders' Meetings section. The Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 23 April 2020 voted against the proposed adoption of the "2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan". Consistently with the decision not to proceed with the approval of the "2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan", the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, held on the same date, therefore resolved not to proceed with the attribution to the Board of Directors of the aforementioned powers to increase the share capital at the service of the same Plan pursuant to art. 2349 of the Civil Code.
On 24 March 2021, the Board of Directors also resolved to propose to the Company's Shareholders' Meeting to grant the Board of Directors, pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Civil Code, for a period of five years from the date of the resolution, the powers to increase the share capital, without consideration, in one or multiple tranches, pursuant to Art. 2349 of the Civil Code, by a maximum of Euro 35,000 by issuing up to a maximum of 700,000 ordinary shares, at an issue value equal to the book value of Technogym shares at the date of execution, to be fully recognised as an equity item and awarded to the beneficiaries of the 2021-2023 Performance Shares Plan ("Proposed Delegation for the Plan").
b) Restrictions on the transfer of securities
There are no restrictions on the transfer or possession of securities, nor clauses requiring approval to become a shareholder of the Company.
c) Relevant share capital holdings
The relevant holdings in the share capital of Technogym, direct or indirect, according to the communications received by the Company, pursuant to Art. 120 of the Consolidated Finance Law, on the date of this Report, are listed in Table 1 of the Annex.
d) Securities conferring special rights
There are no securities conferring special control rights, nor parties entitled to special rights pursuant to the Articles of Association and the legal provisions in force.
For special voting rights, we refer to that which was said in Paragraph 2 a) above.
e) Equity investments of employees: mechanism for the exercise of voting rights
There is no mechanism excluding or limiting the direct exercise of voting rights by the beneficiaries of the 2018-2020 Performance Shares Plan, the beneficiaries of the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan, the beneficiaries of the 2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan and the beneficiaries of the 2021- 2023 Performance Shares Plan (the latter, if approved by the Shareholders' Meeting).
f) Restrictions to voting rights
There are no mechanisms to restrict the voting rights of Shareholders, apart from the terms and conditions for the exercise of the right to take part and vote in Shareholders' Meeting described in Chapter 15 of this Report.
g) Shareholders' agreements
The Company is not aware of any agreement between Shareholders pursuant to Art. 122 of the Consolidated Finance Law.
h) Change of control clauses and provisions of the Articles of Association on takeover bids
Change of control clauses
The Company and its Subsidiaries, within their sales activity, have concluded sales agreements (for example, distribution or joint-venture, supply, etc.) that, as it is common practice on international markets, include clauses that give each party the power to rescind the agreement if there is a direct and/or indirect change in the control of the other party outside of some explicit exceptions. Similar clauses are found in some lending agreements. We describe below the terms of the main agreements that include clauses of this type.
Joint venture agreements for the establishment of Technogym Emirates LLC
On 1 June 2007, Technogym and Wellness Solutions LLC ("Wellness Solutions") signed an agreement known as joint venture company formation agreement for the establishment of Technogym Emirates LLC ("Technogym Emirates"), a limited liability company for the distribution of Technogym equipment and services in the UAE, established under UAE law, of which 51% is held by Wellness Solutions and 49% by Technogym.
On the same day, Wellness Solutions, Technogym and Technogym Emirates signed a Shareholders' agreement setting conditions and terms for the operation of Technogym Emirates; a later deed (contract of establishment) of Technogym Emirates, was signed on 19 September 2007 by Technogym and Wellness Solutions. On 22 July 2012, Flag Holding LLC ("Flag Holding") acquired the entire equity investment held by Wellness Solutions in Technogym Emirates: therefore, on the same day, Flag Holding signed a deed of acceptance of the Shareholders' agreement of Technogym Emirates, taking over from Wellness Solutions the rights and obligations deriving from the Shareholders' agreement, the contract of establishment and the joint venture company formation agreement.
The Shareholders' agreement contains, inter alia, a clause of change of control, pursuant to which, in the case of a change of control in Flag Holding or Technogym (including the persons that respectively control them), the other party will have right to buy the equity investment of the party which has undergone the change of control, at a price to be agreed among the parties or, in the absence of an agreement, set by a third independent party according to the market value of the Technogym Emirates shares. The listing or the admission to the trading of Technogym shares on any regulated market is expressly excluded as a case of change of control pursuant to the Shareholders' agreement.
In April 2017, Alaslab International Investment LLC ("Alaslab") acquired the entire equity investment held by Flag Holding in Technogym Emirates: on the same day, Alaslab signed a deed to accept the Shareholders' agreement of Technogym Emirates, taking over from Flag Holding the rights and obligations deriving from the Shareholders' agreement, the contract of establishment and the joint venture company formation agreement.
UniCredit loan
On 2 August 2019, Unicredit S.p.A. and Technogym signed an agreement for a medium-long term loan for a total of Euro 25,000,000, made available to the Issuer to support the liquidity requirements related to the business activities of the Group.
The loan in question accrues interest at a variable rate equal to the Euribor 6M plus a spread and will be repaid in 6 half-yearly constant capital instalments, equal to Euro 4,167,000, with final maturity on 29 July 2022. This loan requires, inter alia, an early repayment if the reference shareholders, together, no longer hold, directly or indirectly, a number of Shares with voting rights free from encumbrance sufficient to guarantee them enough votes to have a dominant influence in the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. This clause, however, does not apply in the case of listing of the Shares of the Issuer on a regulated market.
BNL loan
On 16 May 2019, BNL and Technogym signed an agreement for a medium-long term loan for a total of Euro 25,000,000, made available to the Issuer to support the liquidity requirements related to the business activities of the Group.
The loan in question accrues interest at a variable rate equal to the Euribor 6M plus a spread, has an amortisation period of one year and will be subsequently repaid in 6 half-yearly constant capital instalments, equal to Euro 4,167 thousand, with final maturity on 16 May 2023. This loan requires, inter alia, an early repayment if the reference shareholders, together, no longer hold, directly or indirectly, a number of Shares with voting rights free from encumbrance sufficient to guarantee them enough votes to have a dominant influence in the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. This clause, however, does not apply in the case of listing of the Shares of the Issuer on a regulated market.
Provisions from the Articles of Association on takeover bids
With reference to the current provisions on takeover bids, the Articles of Association contains an explicit derogation to the authority of the Shareholders' Meeting on defences at the time of public offers for purchase or exchange on the shares of the Company (known as "passivity rule"), as set forth in Art. 104, Paragraph 1, of the Consolidated Finance Law.
Pursuant to Art. 23.3 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Board of Directors, and any representative of this, without the need for authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting, may:
(a) carry out all actions and transactions under their responsibility to prevent the objectives of a public offer for purchase or exchange from being achieved, from the communication with which the decision or the triggering of the obligation to promote the bid is made public up to the closure or forfeiture of the bid itself;
(b) implement decisions under their responsibility not yet implemented, fully or in part, that do not fall in the normal course of activity of the Company, taken before the communication of which above and the execution of which may prevent the achievement of the objectives of the bid.
In addition, we note that the Articles of Association of Technogym do not expressly provide for the application of the neutralisation rules considered by Art. 104-bis, Paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Consolidated Finance Law.
i) Powers to increase share capital and authorisations to purchase of treasury shares

With reference to the Delegation for the 2018-2020 Performance Shares Plan and the Delegation for the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan (as well as for the Delegation for the 2021-2023 Performance Shares Plan), please refer to Paragraph 2, a) above.
On 24 March 2021, the Board of Directors also resolved to propose to the Company's Shareholders' Meeting called for 5 May 2021 to authorise the same Board of Directors, subject to the revocation of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2020 for the remaining period, to purchase ordinary Technogym shares without nominal value, in one or more tranches, also on a revolving basis, up to the maximum number of (treasury) shares of 20,000,000 and in any case within the maximum limit set by Art. 2357, Par. 3 of the Civil Code, for a period of 18 months from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting resolution, using any of the procedures specified by the joint provisions of Art. 132 of the Consolidated Finance Law and 144-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and, in any case, with any other procedures allowed by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on this issue, both Italian and EU, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including Italian and EU legal and regulatory provisions on market abuse, with the sole exception of the purchase procedures specified in Art. 144-bis, letter c) of the Issuers' Regulation. According to the proposal submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting, the purchase transactions must be carried out at price conditions that comply with the provisions of Art. 3, paragraph 2, of Delegated Regulation 2016/1052/EU and, in any case at a price per share that cannot deviate, neither decreasing nor increasing, by more than 10% compared to the reference price recorded by the share in the stock market session preceding each single operation.
With the exception of the above, at the date of this Report, no powers have been granted to the Directors to increase share capital for a consideration, in one or multiple tranches, nor have the Directors been granted the power to issue obligations convertible in either ordinary or saving shares or with warrants valid for the underwriting of shares.
j) Direction and coordination activities
At the date of this Report, TGH (company resulting from the demerger of Wellness Holding) holds 39.73% of the share capital and 56.87% of the Company's voting rights and, therefore, it controls the Issuer pursuant to Art. 93 of the Consolidated Finance Law. TGH is in turn indirectly controlled by Nerio Alessandri, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Managing Director of the Company, through Oiren S.r.l. (which holds 75% of the share capital of TGH).
However, pursuant to Art. 2497 of the Civil Code et seq., the Issuer is not subject to direction and coordination by TGH or by any other company or entity in the control chain through which Nerio Alessandri controls TGH, as acknowledged most recently in the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on 25 February 2021. In particular, after reviewing the factual circumstances, the Board of Directors of Technogym concluded that none of the activities which usually constitute direction and coordination, pursuant to Art. 2497 of the Civil Code et seq., was carried out by TGH or by another company or entity. By way of example but not limited to, the Board of Directors has observed that:
- The Company's and the Group's strategic, business, financial and/or budgetary plans are prepared and executed independently by Technogym and there are no joint business, financial or strategic plans in place with TGH or with another company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain;
- Technogym is not subject to any regulations or policies imposed by TGH or by other company or entity in the latter's control chain;
- management decisions are not centralised at the parent companies;
- Technogym has full negotiating autonomy in its relations with customers and suppliers, without any external interference by TGH or other company or entity in the latter's control chain;

- there are no intra-group loans, nor common financial plans or cash pooling systems involving TGH or other company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain;
- there are no ongoing transactions or projects based on activities or resources shared between Technogym and TGH or other company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain for the purposes of achieving economies of scale;
- the review and approval of the organisational structure of the Group and the assessment of the suitability of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Company and the Group pertains to the Board of Directors of Technogym;
- no business, organisational or financial act, guideline or deed related to Technogym or to the Group had been promoted or authorised by TGH or other company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain.

Lastly, we note that:
- the information required by Art. 123-bis, Par. 1, letter i) of the Consolidated Finance Law (on "the agreements between the companies and the Directors [...] that provide for indemnities in the case of resignation or dismissal without just cause or if their employment relationship is terminated after a bid") is provided in the Remuneration Report, available at the registered office and on the website of the Company (www.technogym.com);
- the information required by Art. 123-bis, Par. 1, letter l) of the Consolidated Finance Law (on "the provisions that apply to the appointment and replacement of Directors [...] as well as to the amendment of the Articles of Association, if different from the legal and regulatory provisions applicable in a supplementary capacity") are described in the section of this Report devoted to the Board of Directors (next Paragraph 4.1).4.1
3. COMPLIANCE
Technogym adheres to the 2020 Corporate Governance Code in force at the date of the Report and which became applicable on 1 January 2021, accessible to the public on the website of the Corporate Governance Committee at the following page: https://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitato-corporategovernance/code/2020.pdf.
Since this Report refers to the 2020 financial year, during which the 2018 Corporate Governance Code was still in force, accessible to the public on the website of the Corporate Governance Committee at the page: https://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitato-corporate-governance/codice/2018clean.pdf, to which Technogym adhered, in the following paragraphs the Report will account - according to the "comply or explain" principle referred to in the 2018 Corporate Governance Code and EU Recommendation no. 208/2014 - for the few principles and application criteria of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code which the Company did decide not to adapt, as well as of the activities already undertaken in order to comply with the 2020 Corporate Governance Code during the year 2021. In this regard, it should be noted that in the course of the 2021 financial year the Company will evaluate any further adaptation measures to the provisions of the 2020 Corporate Governance Code.
The corporate governance system of the Company is completed by the provisions of the Articles of Association and the Regulations of the Shareholders' Meeting. The Company's corporate governance system is based on the principles of the 2018 as well as on the 2020 Corporate Governance Code and more in general on international best practices, adapted to take into account the Company's specific characteristics and of the activities carried out.

This Report was drafted also on the basis of the instructions provided by Borsa Italiana on the format of corporate governance reports (8th version, January 2019).
Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries are subject to non-Italian legal provisions with an influence on the corporate governance structure of Technogym.
4. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force for companies with shares listed in regulated markets and in compliance with the recommendations of both the 2018 and 2020 Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors holds a key role in the Company's governance system.
Pursuant to Art. 23 of the Articles of Association, the "management of the Company is the exclusive authority of the Board of Directors. "The Board has the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company. Notably, it has all the powers for the pursuit of the business purpose that are not strictly reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting by the law or by these Articles of Association. Without prejudice to the shared competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors may also take resolutions relating to: (a) the merger of fully owned companies under the terms specified in Art. 2505 of the Civil Code or of companies at least 90% (ninety percent) owned pursuant to Art. 2505-bis of the Civil Code; (b) the opening or closing of secondary offices; (c) the specification of which Directors have the power to represent the Company; (d) the reduction in share capital in the case of withdrawal of a shareholder; (e) the changes to the Articles of Association made to reflect legal provisions; (f) the transfer of the registered office to another location in Italy. Art. 2436 of the Civil Code applies in any case. The Board of Directors, and its possible delegated bodies, also have the power, without the need to seek the authorisation of the Shareholders' Meeting, to: (a) to carry out all actions and transactions under their responsibility that may prevent the objectives of a public offer for purchase or exchange from being achieved, from the communication with which the decision or the triggering of the obligation to promote the offer are made public until the closing or forfeiture of the offer itself; (b) to implement decisions under their responsibility not yet implemented fully or implemented only in part that do not fall in the Company's normal course of activity, taken before the communication referred to above and the execution of which may prevent the achievement of the objectives of the offer."
Pursuant to Art. 20 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors elects from among its members a Chairman, unless this is done by the Shareholders' Meeting, and a Secretary, who may or may not be a member. The Board of Directors may also appoint a Deputy Chairman.
Pursuant to Art. 24 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors may appoint one or more Managing Directors, with joint or individual powers, and grant other Directors special powers and, after hearing the Board of Statutory Auditors, set their remuneration. In addition, it may appoint one or more general managers, setting their powers, or grant special power of attorney.
Lastly, the Board of Directors may appoint an Executive Committee pursuant to Art. 2381 of the Civil Code, setting the number of members and their duration in office.
Pursuant to Art. 25 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors, after mandatory opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, appoints the Financial Reporting Manager, granting this appropriate resources and powers for the execution of his/her tasks, sets his/her remuneration and resolves on his/her revocation.
4.1 Appointment and replacement
Pursuant to Art. 16 of the Articles of Association, the Company is managed by a Board of Directors elected by the Shareholders' Meeting and consisting of a number of members set by the Shareholders' Meeting before the appointment, between seven and fifteen.

The Directors elected are in office three years or for the period set at the time of the appointment by the Shareholders' Meeting, which in any case shall not exceed three years. They may be re-elected.
All Directors must meet the requirements of eligibility, professionalism and integrity set by legal and regulatory provisions.
Pursuant to Art. 147-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law, at least two Directors must also meet the independence requirements there specified.
In compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to listed companies, Art. 16 of the Articles of Association provides for the appointment of the Board of Directors to be made by the Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of lists presented by shareholders, according to the procedure set forth in Art. 17 of the Articles of Association and described below.
Lists may be presented by the Board of Directors in office and by the shareholders who, alone or with others, at the time of the presentation of the list hold a percentage equity investment at least equal to the one set by CONSOB with regulations pursuant to Art. 147-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law. In this regard, we note that, with CONSOB top management resolution no. 44 of 29 January 2021, the percentage equity investment required, pursuant to Art. 144-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, to present a list of the candidates for the election of the administration and control bodies of Technogym was set at 1%.
Each shareholder, the shareholders participating in a Shareholders' Agreement relating to the relevant Company as set forth in Art. 122 of the Consolidated Finance Law, the controlling party, the Subsidiaries and those subject to common control and other parties among which there is an affiliation, even indirect, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, cannot present or take part in the presentation, not even through a third party or trust company, of more than one list nor may vote for different lists. Each candidate may appear only on one list, being otherwise deemed ineligible. Each list carries the names of the candidates, with a sequential number; the number of candidates cannot exceed the number of members to be elected.
Any list with a number of candidates equal or below 7 must include and identify at least 1 candidate with the independence requirements set according to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time for Independent Directors. Any list with a number of candidates above 7 must include and identify at least 2 candidates with the independence requirements set according to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time for Independent Directors.
In addition, for the period of application of the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on gender balance, any list presenting at least 3 candidates must also include candidates of both genders, so that at least one-third (rounded up) of candidates belong to the less represented gender.
With regard to gender balance, it should be recalled that on 1 January 2020 the provisions of the 2020 Budget Law, which amended Art. 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, and Art. 148, paragraph 1-bis, of the Consolidated Finance Law, came into force. Specifically, as of the re-election of the corporate bodies subsequent to 1 January 2020, the law: (i) increased the percentage of members to be of the less represented gender from at least one-third to at least two-fifths, for the management body as well as the control body; and (ii) extended the effective period of the new allotment criterion of at least twofifths to six consecutive terms of office from three. The aforementioned regulatory changes entail the need to amend articles 17 (concerning the election of the members of the Board of Directors) and 28 (concerning the election of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors) of the Articles of Association; these changes were approved by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 23 April 2020, without prejudice to the applicability of the new provisions from the next renewal of the corporate bodies by Technogym Shareholders' Meeting, in the case of the Board of Directors, in this financial year (with the approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020) and, in the case of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the date of approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. In addition, it should be noted that with resolution no. 21359 of 13 May

2020, CONSOB amended art. 144-undecies.1 of the Issuers' Regulation to provide that if the application of the gender division criterion does not result in an integer number of members belonging to the less represented gender, in the case of corporate bodies consisting of three members, this number is rounded down to the lower unit (without prejudice, in other cases, to the criterion of rounding up to the higher unit).
The lists must be filed at the offices of the Company, also remotely, following the procedures specified in the call notice, and made available to the public in the terms and with the procedures specified by legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
The lists must be accompanied by the following:
- (a) information on the identity of the shareholders who have presented the lists, with the specification of the percentage equity investment held in total, being understood that the evidence of the ownership of this equity investment may be presented even after the deposit of the lists provided this is done within the term set for the publication of the lists by the Company;
- (b) a statement of the shareholders other than those holding, alone or jointly, a controlling interest or a relative majority, stating the absence of relations of affiliation, even indirect, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, with the latter;
- (c) exhaustive information on the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates, possibly specifying their qualifications as Independent Directors pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time (and/or pursuant to the codes of conducts on corporate governance promoted by management companies of regulated markets if adopted by the Company), as well as a statement by the candidates that the requirements set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time and by the Articles of Association, including those of integrity and, if applicable, independence, are met, and that they accept the candidature and, if elected, the office;
- (d) any other additional or different statement, information and/or document required by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
If these obligations are not fulfilled, the list is deemed as not presented.
The vote of each shareholder is given to a list and therefore, automatically, to all candidates on the list, without changes, additions or exclusions.
The election of the Board of Directors takes place as follows:
- (a) the lists that have obtained a percentage of votes less than the half of the percentage required for their presentation are not taken into account;
- (b) all Directors to be elected bar one are taken, in the progressive order with which they are indicated in the list, from the list that obtained the highest number of votes;
- (c) the remaining Director to be elected is taken from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes after the one in (b), votes given by shareholders who are not related in any way, not even indirectly, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time with the shareholders who have presented or voted the list as set forth in (b) above.
In case of parity between lists, priority is given to the list presented by the shareholders with the largest equity investment or, subordinately, by the largest number of shareholders.
If at the end of the voting a sufficient number of Directors meeting the independence requirements set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time has not been elected, the candidate not meeting these requirements who was elected last (in progressive order) from the list that obtained the

highest number of votes shall be excluded and will be replaced by the first (in progressive order) unelected candidate of the same list who meets the independence requirements. This procedure will be repeated, as necessary, until a sufficient number of Independent Directors is elected. If, at the end of this replacement process, the composition of the Board of Directors does not allow for the minimum number of Directors meeting the independence requirements required by legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, the replacement shall take place with resolution by the Shareholders' Meeting by relative majority of the votes there represented, after presentation of the candidates meeting the independence requirements set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
Moreover, if at the end of the voting and possibly the application of the previous paragraph with the candidates elected, the composition of the Board of Directors does not comply with the legal and regulatory provisions on gender balance in force at the time, the candidate of the most represented gender elected last (in progressive order) on the list that obtained the highest number of votes shall be excluded and replaced by the first (in progressive order) unelected candidate of the less represented gender on the same list. This replacement process is repeated until the composition of the Board of Directors complies with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on gender balance. If, after this replacement procedure, the composition of the board of directors does not comply with legislation and regulations in force at the time concerning gender balance, the replacement shall take place by resolution passed by the shareholders' meeting by the relative majority of the votes represented therein, after the submission of nominations of parties belonging to the less represented gender.
If the number of candidates elected on the basis of the lists presented is less than the number of Directors to be elected, the remaining Directors are elected by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting taken by the relative majority of the votes there represented and in any case so as to ensure the presence of the minimum number of Independent Directors required by legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, as well as compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions on gender balance in force at the time. In case of parity of votes between different candidates, a second ballot between them shall take place at the Shareholders' Meeting, and the candidate obtaining most votes shall prevail.
If a single list is presented, the Shareholders' Meeting votes on this list and, if the relative majority of the votes there represented is obtained, all members of the Board of Directors shall be taken from this list in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, also in regard to independent directors and gender balance of directors.
If no list is presented or if a single list is presented and this does not obtain the relative majority of the votes represented in Shareholders' Meeting or if the entire Board of Directors does not need reappointing or if it is not possible for any reason to appoint the Board of Directors with the procedures described above, the members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting with the ordinary procedures and the relative majority of the votes there represented, without application of the list vote mechanism, and in any case in a way to ensure the presence of the minimum number of Independent Directors required by legal and regulatory provisions as well as compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions on gender balance in force at the time.
With regard to the replacement of Directors, if one or more Directors leave office, for any reason, Art. 19 of the Articles of Association requires their replacement to take place as follows.
If the outgoing Director has been taken from a list other than the one that had obtained the highest number of votes, and provided the majority of the Directors continues to consist of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors shall appoint the replacement by co-optation pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Civil Code among the candidates from the same list as the outgoing Director, provided this meets the requirements made.
If, for any reason, there are no names available and eligible or if the outgoing Director had been taken from the list that had obtained the highest number of votes, the Board of Directors shall appoint the

replacement(s) by co-optation pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Civil Code, without restrictions in the choice among the members of the lists originally presented.
If the law requires the Shareholders' Meeting to appoint the Directors needed to integrate the Board of Directors after the departure of Directors, it will proceed in compliance with the provisions that follow.
(a) If it is necessary to replace one or more members of the Board of Directors taken from the list that had obtained the highest number of votes, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve on the replacement by relative majority of the votes there represented, without restrictions in the choice among the members of the lists originally presented.
(b) If, instead, the member of the Board of Directors to be replaced had been taken from a list other than the list that had obtained the highest number of votes, the Shareholders' Meeting shall chose a replacement (with the relative majority of the votes there represented), if possible, among the candidates in the list of the Director to be replaced; these must have confirmed their candidacy in writing, at least 10 days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting, and provided statements to the effect that there are no causes of ineligibility or forfeiture, and that the requirements for the office set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time or by the Articles of Association are met. If this replacement process is not feasible, this member of the Board of Directors is replaced with resolution to be taken with the relative majority of the votes represented in the Shareholders' Meeting, while respecting, if possible, the representation of the minorities.
The replacements described above must, in any case, be carried out in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on gender balance and the minimum number of Directors meeting the independence requirements required by legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
The term of office of the Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting to replace the Directors who leave ends at the same time as the Directors already in office at the time of their appointment.
If the majority of the Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting leaves, for any reason, the entire Board of Directors is understood to have left and the meeting to appoint the new Board of Directors must be called urgently by the Directors still in office.
The Board regularly verifies that its members continue to meet the requirements made by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time and by the Articles of Association, including the independence and honourableness requirements, and that there are no causes of ineligibility and forfeiture.
The Director who, after the appointment, no longer meets the requirements made or previously stated must immediately inform the Board of Directors. The failure to meet the independence requirements established according to regulations in force at the time applicable to independent directors entails forfeiture of the office, unless such requirements continue to be met by the minimum number of directors who according to regulations in force at the time must meet those requirements. Without prejudice to these provisions, if a Director does not meet or no longer meets the independence requirements (if this involves the forfeiture according to the provisions above) or integrity stated and required, or there are cause of ineligibility or forfeiture, the Board of Directors declares the forfeiture of the Director and carries out his/her replacement in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable and that is described above.
Succession plans
Implementing the recommendations of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, on 8 February 2019, following a preliminary investigation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a procedure to manage the transition in the event of a departure

Diversity policies
On 24 March 2021, the Board of Directors discussed the opportunity to adopt a specific diversity policy and, in line with the resolutions already taken in previous years, reiterated that it does not deem the adoption of specific related policies to be necessary, since the regulatory and legislative provisions, including the provisions of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, regarding the composition of the administration, management and control bodies of the Company, together with the behaviour demonstrated by the Company's shareholders at the time of designation of the members of these bodies, allow an adequate composition in relation to aspects such as gender, age, experience, and professional and personal characteristics.
In particular, as specified in Paragraph 4.3 below, on 25 February 2021 the Board of Directors, as part of the annual self-evaluation process, has given a positive assessment of its own size and composition, believing it to be adequate on the whole, in terms of number, gender, age, experience, professional and personal characteristics and managerial experience of the executive directors. In particular, the Board consists of three executive and eight non-executive directors, of which five are independent; the gender less represented represents 36% of the members of the Board; the average age is between 30 and 50 years for 18% of members and over 50 for the remaining 82%. Diversity in terms of working experience and education (described above) ensures that the Directors have the necessary and appropriate skills to manage the Company.
In addition, as recommended by the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (Vincenzo Giannelli, Chairman) has adequate financial experience and a member of the Control and Risk Committee (Cecilia La Manna, Chairman) has sufficient accounting and financial or risk management experience.
Furthermore, the Company's Code of Ethics clarifies Technogym's commitment to guaranteeing a working environment without racial, cultural, ideological, sexual, physical, moral, religious or other discrimination and to offering equal opportunities on equal terms. At all stages of the employment relationship, the Group constantly pays attention to respect for diversity and equal opportunities and to the prevention of all types of discrimination.
Maximum number of directorships that may be held at other companies
In application of the recommendations in Application Criterion 1.C.3 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, on 6 March 2017, the Board of Directors approved a document specifying the guidelines of the Board of Directors of Technogym on the maximum number of directorship that its members may hold in the administration and control bodies of other large companies, to ensure that Directors can devote sufficient time and guarantee an effective performance of their duties in the Board of Directors of the Company. On 24 March 2021 the Board of Directors confirmed the policy on the maximum number of directorships already approved with reference to the previous year.
The Directors of the Company must promptly inform the Legal and Corporate Affairs Function and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company of any change occurred concerning their positions in the administration and control bodies of other large companies. If the limits indicated are exceeded, the Directors promptly inform the Board, which assesses the situation in the light of the interest of the Company and invites the Director to take the necessary decisions.
The Board of Directors, on the basis of the information provided by its members, records and discloses in the annual Report on corporate governance and ownership structure the positions held by the

Directors of the Company in the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors of other large companies().1
The Executive Directors of the Company cannot hold:
- a. more than 3 Executive Director positions in large companies; and
- b. more than 5 positions as Non-Executive Director and/or Standing Auditor in large companies.
The Non-Executive Directors of the Company cannot hold:
- a. more than 4 executive director positions in large companies; and
- b. more than 7 positions as non-executive director and/or standing auditor in large companies.
The positions indicated in the previous paragraphs do not include those held in companies controlled, directly and/or indirectly by the Company, or affiliated to this, or controlling the Company or exercising on it direction and coordination activities. In addition, the positions held in different companies within the same group are considered a single mandate.
The Board of Directors may grant derogations (even on a temporary basis) to the above limits to the number of positions held. In granting these derogations, the Board of Directors shall take into account the following:
- a. the specific characteristics of the positions occupied by the Director in question, as well as the nature and the size of the companies in which such positions are held;
- b. the commitment required by (i) any professional activity carried out by the Director in question and (ii) any office in an association held by the Director;
- c. the commitment required of the Director in question in the Board of Directors of the Company (with special reference to the case of a Non-Executive Director who does not sit on any Committee).
Any derogation thus granted by the Board of Directors shall be reported in the annual Report on corporate governance and ownership structure.
We note that, at the date of this Report, there were no cases of "cross-directorship": in fact, the Managing Director of Technogym, Nerio Alessandri, does not hold administration positions in companies outside the Group in which another director of Technogym is Chief Executive Officer.
The Annex of this Report lists all the offices held by Directors in other companies at the date of this Report, according to the criteria specified in the aforementioned document, which are thus considered as respected.
Induction Program
In consideration of the in-depth knowledge of the Company's trends and the organisation by the Directors who have now been in office for several years, in 2020, no specific induction activities were
(i) By "large companies" we intend: (i) companies with shares listed in regulated markets, in Italy and abroad; (ii) banking, insurance or financial companies, in Italy and abroad, with financial companies defined for the purposes of this guideline as financial intermediaries pursuant to Art. 106 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 385 dated 1993 (Consolidated Banking Law, TUB) and companies carrying out activities and services of investment or collective asset management pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 58 dated 1998 (Consolidated Finance Law, TUF), being understood that, in the case of foreign companies, an assessment of substantial equivalence is required; (iii) other companies, in Italy and abroad, with shares not listed in regulated markets and that, even operating in sectors other than those indicated under b) above, have net assets above Euro 10 billion.1

organised. In any case, activities that had also induction purposes were carried out at the Board meetings and at the meetings of the Board Committees, which are aimed at enhancing the knowledge of all of the Directors at fiscal, administrative, risk management and Investor Relations level.
4.3 Role of the Board of Directors
Pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force for companies with shares listed in regulated markets and in compliance with the recommendations of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code (as well as by the 2020 Corporate Governance Code), the Board of Directors holds a key role in the Company's governance system.
The Board of Directors meets regularly: during the 2020 financial year, it met eight times in total. The average meeting length was approximately two and a half hours, with attendance by Directors above 94% and that by Independent Directors above 87%. At least six meetings have been scheduled for 2021 (two of which had already been held at the date of this Report).
The Board of Directors meets in the location indicated in the call notice, at the registered office or even outside the municipality where the registered office is located, both in Italy and abroad, in and outside the European Union, whenever the Chairman of the Board of Directors believes it to be necessary or appropriate or when he/she receives a written request in this sense by the Board of Statutory Auditors, by each Standing Auditor, or by at least 3 Directors, specifying the topics to be discussed.
Without prejudice to the powers reserved by the legal and regulatory provisions in force to the Board of Statutory Auditors and to each Standing Auditor, the call is made by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The call notice is sent by registered mail, telegram, fax, email, or by hand, or with any suitable means, at least 3 days before the meeting, to the domicile of the Directors and Standing Auditors. In urgent cases, the call notice may be sent by registered mail, telegram, fax, email, or by hand or with any suitable means, at least one day before the call. In the absence of a formal call, the meeting of the Board of Directors is deemed duly established when all Directors in office and all Standing Auditors are present.
The documents in support of the proposals and the information that the Directors need to express an informed opinion on the topics being resolved upon are usually made available to the Directors in the time needed before the Board meeting. If, in special cases, the necessary information cannot be provided by this time, the Chairman ensures that appropriate analysis is carried out during the Board meeting. With regard to 2020, and at the date of this Report, supporting documentation for the topics being discusses and in particular those for which a resolution is to be taken, was sent to Directors and Auditors, in the term specified above, except a few exceptional cases, for which appropriate and detailed analysis was in any case provided during the Board meeting.
For the resolutions of the Board of Directors to be valid, the presence of the majority of Directors in office is required. The decisions are taken with an absolute majority of the Directors attending. In the event of a tied vote, the vote of the Chairman of the Board of Directors will prevail.
The Chairman of the Board meeting may invite professionals or other parties to the meeting, in an advisory capacity. In 2020, the Financial Reporting Manager in office at the date of the meeting was always invited to the meetings of the Board of Directors, except for the meetings held on 24 March and 17 June 2020. The manager of the Investor Relations function and, limited to matters falling within their competence, the managers of the Finance, Administration and Control function as well as other Company managers directly concerned and involved in the discussion of some issues on the agenda were also invited to attend some meetings of the Board of Directors.
If the call notice indicates it or if all Directors are present, the meetings of the Board of Directors may be duly held in video-conference or audio-conference, provided all participants can be identified by the Chairman of the meeting and other participants, all participants can follow the discussion, intervene

in real time, and exchange documents on the topics under discussion and all of the above is recorded in the corresponding minutes. If these requirements are met, the meeting of the Board is deemed to have been held at the place where both the Chairman and the Secretary of the meeting are located. In 2020, in accordance with the provisions of the so-called Decree "Cura Italia" no. 18 of 17 March 2020 and the subsequent provisions issued by the competent authorities containing the measures for the containment and management of the "COVID-19" pandemic, some meetings of the Board of Directors were held exclusively by videoconference.
The meetings of the Board of Directors are chaired by said Chairman. In the event of absence or impediment of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the meeting is chaired by the Deputy Chairman or, in the absence or impediment of the latter, by the director chosen by the absolute majority of Directors in attendance. The minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors are drafted, approved and signed by the meeting Chairman and by the secretary, and are transcribed in the company books prescribed by law. The vote cannot be given by proxy.
Pursuant to Art. 23 of the Articles of Association, the management of the Company is the exclusive authority of the Board of Directors. The Board has the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company. Notably, it has all the powers for the pursuit of the business purpose that are not strictly reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting by the law or by these Articles of Association.
Without prejudice to the concurrent competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, Art. 23.2 of the Articles of Association also provides for the Board of Directors to resolve on:
- (a) the merger of companies fully owned under the terms as set forth in Art. 2505 of the Civil Code or those in which at least a 90% interest is held pursuant to Art. 2505-bis of the Civil Code;
- (b) the opening or closing of secondary offices;
- (c) the specification of which Directors have the power to represent the Company;
- (d) the reduction in share capital in the case of withdrawal of a shareholder;
- (e) the amendments to the Articles of Association to ensure compliance with legal provisions;
- (f) the move of the registered office to another location in Italy.
- Art. 2436 of the Civil Code applies in any case.
The Board of Directors, and any representative of this, have also the power, without the need to request authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting:
- (a) carry out all actions and transactions under their responsibility to prevent the objectives of a public offer for purchase or exchange from being achieved, from the communication with which the decision or the triggering of the obligation to promote the bid is made public up to the closure or forfeiture of the bid itself;
- (b) implement decisions under their responsibility not yet implemented, fully or in part, that do not fall in the normal course of activity of the Company, taken before the communication of which above and the execution of which may prevent the achievement of the objectives of the bid.
In line with the requirements of Application Criterion 1.C.1. letter c) of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has assessed the appropriateness of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Company, with special reference to the Internal Control and Risk Management System, on the basis of a preliminary investigation by the Control and Risk Committee. To this purpose, the Board of Directors has reviewed the Company's organisation, also in relation to the executive reorganisation, considering it to be appropriate, keeping into account the size

and complexity of the Company and its specific characteristics. In addition, making use of the documents produced and the analysis carried out on the management control system, also with the support of external consultants, and the subsequent updates provided on the issue by the Internal Audit function and the Control and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors has verified the operation and the effectiveness of the management control system of the Group, without identifying major difficulties according to the provisions of the guidelines and the standards set by Borsa Italiana.
The Board has assessed the general operating performance, taking into account, in particular, the information received from the delegated bodies and comparing on a regular basis, at least quarterly, the results obtained with those planned, according to the recommendations of Application Criterion 1.C.1. letter e) of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code.
The following tasks are expressly reserved to the Board of Directors: (i) the definition of the corporate governance system of the Issuer; (ii) the approval of guidelines for the preparation of the strategic, business and financial plans; (iii) the approval of the operating plan and the annual budget.
In line with best practices and with the provisions of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors carried out its regular self-assessment of the size, composition and operation of the Board of Directors in office and its Committees, from the Trading Start Date. The board evaluation of the Company consisted in filling in a self-assessment questionnaire aimed at identifying the strengths and above all the weaknesses in the size, composition and operation of the Board of Directors in office, on which to focus the efforts also with additional induction activities and in the preparation of a final qualitative/quantitative report, collecting data, information and comments and reporting them in aggregate form, without allowing the identification of the individual responses. The board evaluation brought to light many positive aspects. As regards these, note the positive opinion of the operation of the Board of Directors, which was found to be in line with the recommendations of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, such as the monitoring and effective management of the situations of potential conflicts of interests, as well as a positive perception of the management of the relations with shareholders, in terms of completeness and timeliness of the information. Within the context of its self-evaluation, the Board evaluated its size and composition positively and deemed it to be fully adequate on the whole, in terms of the number of members, combination of gender, age, experience, professional and personal characteristics and managerial experience of the executive directors.
On 6 March 2017, the Board of Directors set general criteria, unchanged at the date of this Report, to identify the transactions that have a significant strategic, economic, capital or financial relevance for the Issuer, identifying as such all transactions involving the assumption of commitments and the execution of payments up to Euro 25,000,000 (twenty-five million), or its equivalent in another currency, for each individual transaction.

On 8 May 2018, the Shareholders' Meeting of Technogym appointed 5 directors who meet the independence requirements, pursuant to the combined provisions of Art. 147-ter, Par. 4 and Art. 148, Par. 3 of the Consolidated Finance Law and the Application Criterion 3.C.1 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code: Francesca Bellettini, Chiara Dorigotti, Vincenzo Giannelli, Maria Cecilia La Manna and Andrea Giuseppe Zocchi. The independence requirements as set forth in Art. 3 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code and Art. 148, Par. 3, of the Consolidated Finance Law for said members of the Board of Directors, already been verified, in the presence of the Board

of Statutory Auditors at the Board meeting held on 11 December 2019, were verified again by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2021, again in the presence of the Board of Statutory Auditors (which made no comments), based on written statements and information provided by the independent directors (the Company not being aware of elements to the contrary).
On 27 January 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified the correct application of the verification criteria and procedures adopted by the Board to assess the independence of its own members.
The Company has implemented Application Criterion 3.C.3 of the Code according to which, if the Company is included in the index FTSE-MIB, at least one-third of the Board of Directors must consist of Independent Directors. If this share does not correspond to a whole number, the latter is rounded down. In any case, there cannot be less than two Independent Directors. Although the Company is not included in the FTSE-MIB index, it has decided to apply this Application Criterion on a voluntary basis, appointing five Independent Directors out of eleven in office.
The independent directors met without the other directors on 16 February 2020 and 9 December 2020, in this latter case to discuss issues related to the whole 2020 financial year and until the date of the meeting itself.
Art. 19 of the Articles of Association provides for the Board to regularly verify that its members met the requirements, including those of independence and integrity, set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force and by the Articles of Association, as well as the absence of any cause of ineligibility and forfeiture.
The Director who, after the appointment, no longer meets the requirements made or previously stated must immediately inform the Board of Directors. The failure to meet the independence requirements established according to regulations in force at the time applicable to independent directors entails forfeiture of the office, unless such requirements continue to be met by the minimum number of directors who according to regulations in force at the time must meet those requirements. Without prejudice to these provisions, if a Director does not meet or no longer meets the independence requirements (if this involves the forfeiture according to the provisions above) or integrity stated and required, or there are cause of ineligibility or forfeiture, the Board of Directors declares the forfeiture of the Director and carries out his/her replacement in compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions and the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Issuer.
As already indicated, Technogym has adhered to the 2020 Corporate Governance Code (applicable from 1 January 2021). In this regard, for the sake of completeness, it should be noted that, with reference to the independence criteria referred to in Recommendation no. 7 of the 2020 Corporate Governance Code for Directors - and possession of which is also required for Statutory Auditors in accordance with the provisions of Recommendation no. 9 of the same - it was expected to be considered significant for the purposes of the provisions of lett. c) and d) of the aforementioned Recommendation no. 7 any additional report/remuneration indicated therein that entails an annual revenue equal to or greater than Euro 70,000.00.
4.7 Lead Independent Director
The Issuer believes that the attribution of the powers described in the previous Par. 4.4 to the Chairman and Managing Director Nerio Alessandri (who holds, indirectly, through a fully owned company, an equity investment with 75% of the voting rights in the company that directly controls the Issuer), the Deputy Chairman Pierluigi Alessandri (who holds, indirectly through a fully owned company, a 25% equity investment in the company that directly controls the Issuer) and the member of the Board of Directors, Carlo Capelli (who is an employee of Alfin S.r.l., a company imputable to Mr Nerio Alessandri) does not deviate from what is specified in the comment to Art. 2 of the 2018 Corporate

Governance Code, dedicated to the composition of the administrative body. The note to Art. 2 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code makes clear that, if the Chairman is also the person controlling the Issuer, this situation is "a circumstance that, in itself, does not have negative connotations, but requires in any case the creation of appropriate counterweights". The 2018 Corporate Governance Code identifies these counterweights in the appointment of a Lead Independent Director who exercises the functions set forth in Application Criterion 2.C.5 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code.
Correspondingly, the Issuer believes that the attribution to Nerio Alessandri of the positions of Chairman and Managing Director does not conflict with the 2018 Corporate Governance Code. In the note to Art. 2, this states that the "Committee, in recognising that the presence of situations where two positions overlap may respond, especially in smaller issuers, to an appreciable organisational necessity, recommends appointing in this case a Lead Independent Director".
In compliance with the above recommendations, on 15 May 2018, the Issuer's Board of Directors selected Maria Cecilia La Manna, an independent member of the Board of Directors, as Lead Independent Director, assigning her the tasks indicated by the Application Criterion 2.C.5 of the 2018 Code of Corporate Governance:
(a) represent a point of reference and coordination for the requests and contributions of non-executive directors and, in particular, independent directors; and
(b) collaborate with the Chairman of the Board of Directors in order to ensure that the directors are recipients of complete and timely information flows.
The Lead Independent Director performed their functions during the Financial Year in line with the recommendations of the above mentioned 2018 Corporate Governance Code.
Ms. La Manna also holds the offices of Chairman of the Control and Risk Committee and the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties.
5. PROCESSING OF COMPANY INFORMATION
Procedure for management of Insider Information
In compliance with the Borsa Italiana Regulations and the related Directions, as well as to the relevant provisions in the Consolidated Finance Law and the Issuers' Regulation, under which the Directors and the Auditors must respect the confidentiality of the documents and information acquired in the performance of their tasks and follow the procedure adopted by the Company for the internal management and the dissemination of these documents and information, the Board of Directors, at its meeting on 16 March 2016, approved the procedure for the management of Insider Information, later amended after the coming in force of Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014 on market abuse on 4 August 2016 and 28 March 2018 ("Insider Information Procedure"). The aforementioned procedure is available on the Company's website at http://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/corporatedocuments/rules-procedures.
The Procedure for the management of Insider Information aims to prevent its disclosure from coming at the wrong moment, being incomplete or inadequate and, in any case, resulting in disclosure asymmetries among the public.
In particular, the disclosure of Insider Information protects the market and the investors, ensuring they have a suitable knowledge of the facts concerning the Issuer, on which they can base their investment decisions.
The Procedure for the management of Insider Information also aims at preventing some parties or categories of parties from making use of information not known by the public to carry out speculative transactions on the markets at the expenses of the investors, who are not aware of this information.

The main elements of the Insider Information Procedure are briefly described below.
The Procedure for the management of Insider Information applies to all those who have access to Confidential Information, Relevant Information or Insider Information as defined by the same and, in particular: (a) the members of the administration, direction and control bodies and the committees of the Company and/or the Subsidiaries; (b) the employees of the Company or the Subsidiaries; (c) the persons, both natural and legal, that, because of their working or professional activity, or because of the functions carried out, have access to Insider Information and (d) the persons, both natural and legal, that, because of their working or professional activity, or because of the functions carried out, have access, on a regular or occasional basis, to Insider Information.
"Confidential Information" is defined as any information or news that cannot be qualified as Insider Information, concerning, directly or indirectly, the Company and/or the Subsidiaries, that is not in the public domain or else that is, because of its nature, reserved or exclusive property of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, acquired by the addressees of the Insider information procedure in the performance of their tasks and/or functions.
"Relevant Information" means any information or news that still does not qualify as Insider Information, which the Company considers relevant, given that it relates to data, events, projects or circumstances that, on a continuous, repetitive, periodic, or intermittent, occasional or unforeseen basis, directly concern the Company itself and which may, at a subsequent time, including in the near future, assume the nature of insider information.
"Insider Information" means information of a precise nature, that has not been made public, directly or indirectly relating to the Company or financial instruments which are relevant for the purposes of Art. 3, Par. 1(1) of the MAR issued by the Company, and that could have a significant impact on the financial instruments or prices of the related derivatives, if made public. The Insider Information Procedure refers to the provisions of Art. 7 of the MAR for a more accurate identification of the area of application of this definition.
The employees and the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries must inform the Company of the information that, in their opinion, represents or could represent Relevant Information or Insider Information, in compliance with the rules specified below:
- (a) the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries must inform their direct superior of the information on the Company and/or its Subsidiaries that, in their opinion, represents Relevant or Insider Information, of which they have become aware;
- (b) the managers of the corporate functions of the Company, as well as the Executive Directors (or other parties delegated to this purpose) of the Subsidiaries must inform without delay the Managing Director of the Company (or, in the case of absence or impediment of this, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or, in the case of absence or impediment also of the latter, the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company) of all information on the Company and/or the Subsidiaries that, in their opinion, represents Relevant or Insider Information, of which they have become aware.
The assessment of whether the information concerning the Company and/or the Subsidiaries represents Relevant or Insider Information and whether there is a need to proceed as per the provisions of the Insider Information Procedure, in the various cases, falls within the competence of the following parties:
- (a) Information emerging from the meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company: within the competence of the Board of Directors;
- (b) Information emerging from the Company's Shareholders' Meeting: within the competence of the Board of Directors;
- (c) Other information is within the competence of the Managing Director of the Company (or, in the case of absence or impediment of this, of the person delegated by the Managing Director or, in the case of his/her absence or impediment, of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or, in the case of absence or impediment also of the latter, of the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company) or of the person delegated by the Managing Director of the Company.
Where the information is classified as Relevant Information, it must be recorded in the appropriate section of the Register of Relevant Information ("RIL"), established and updated by the Company, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force. This is a list of the persons that, because of their working or professional activity or their functions, have access to Relevant Information.
If the information is found to represent Insider Information pursuant to Art. 7 of the MAR, it must be made public as soon as possible, as specified in Art. 7 of the Insider Information Procedure, and in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force.
The Company has created, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force, and shall update, a register ("Register"), carrying a list of those who, because of their working or professional activity or their functions, have access to Insider Information, even with a delay. The procedures to set up, manage and update the RIL and the Register are regulated in the corresponding procedure attached to the Insider Information Procedure ("Register Procedure").
The internal management of Relevant and Insider Information, even with a delay, must take place in compliance with the rules below:
- (a) the Top Management (as defined in the Insider Information Procedure) and the managers of the corporate functions concerned from time to time must constantly monitor the stage of evolution of information qualified as Relevant Information and, if the conditions are met, re-initiate the assessments required by the Insider Information Procedure with regard to the decisions to be taken in the event that the aforesaid information takes the nature of Insider Information;
- (b) the manager of each corporate function must ensure that the Relevant and Insider Information, even with a delay, is disclosed only to the employees of the units for which this knowledge is needed to carry out their working functions; these employees must be listed in the aforementioned Register;
- (c) those who have acquired Insider Information, even with a delay, must be informed, with the procedures specified in the Register Procedure, of the confidential nature of this information and the obligations deriving from this knowledge, as well as of the possible penalties for the offences in this area specified by applicable legal and regulatory provisions.
Internal Dealing Procedure
The procedure on internal dealing adopted by the Company pursuant to Art. 19 of the MAR, Delegated Regulation 522 and Delegated Regulation 523 and national legislation, as amended by the Board of Directors on 4 August 2017 to reflect the amendments made to CONSOB regulations by means of resolution No. 19925 of 22 March 2017, regulates the methods and terms of fulfilment of the disclosure obligations of Relevant Persons to the Company and the market, with reference to transactions performed involving Technogym shares or related instruments ("Internal Dealing Procedure").
The Internal Dealing Procedure defines, in line with the applicable regulations, both the relevant persons required to fulfil communication obligations pursuant to the MAR and implementing regulations (i.e. members of the Company's administration and control bodies and persons that perform company management functions and executives who have regular access to insider information and have the power to adopt management decisions that may impact the evolution and

future prospects of the Company), and persons closely related to them, as well as the relevant shareholders required to fulfil communication obligations pursuant to the Consolidated Finance Law (i.e. those who hold a shareholding, calculated in accordance with Art. 118 of the Issuers' Regulation, of at least 10% of the Company's share capital, represented by shares with voting rights, as well as any other person that controls the Company) and persons closely related to them.
Having identified the addressees of the regulation, the Internal Dealing Procedure identifies the relevant transactions for the different addressees of the Procedure in light of the regulations applicable to each one.
Pursuant to the Procedure, it is prohibited to carry out - on own behalf or on behalf of third parties, directly or via third parties - transactions with Relevant Persons in the 30 (thirty) calendar days prior to the market communication of approval, by the Board of Directors, of the draft annual financial statements, of the half-yearly report, of any quarterly financial reports prepared on a voluntary basis, that the Company is required to, or has decided to, make public according to (i) the rules of the regulated market, multilateral trading system or organised trading system, the venue in which the Company shares are admitted to trading, (ii) the Italian law; or (iii) any requests from CONSOB ("Blocking Period").
Relevant Transactions whose total amount does not reach Euro 20,000.00 in a calendar year, or the greater amount required by applicable legal and regulatory provisions on internal dealing, are not subject to the obligations of communications specified in this Procedure. These obligations of communication apply instead to all Relevant Transactions carried out, once this amount has been reached in one calendar year.
The Internal Dealing Procedure also regulates the management, handling and communication of the information related to these transactions.
In compliance with the provisions of the Internal Dealing Procedure, the Board of Directors on 16 February 2016 has granted to the Head of the Corporate Affairs function the mandate of person in charge of the execution of said Code (replaced with resolution of the Board of Directors of 10 February 2017).
The Internal Dealing Procedure is available on the website of the Company at http://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/corporate-documents/rules-procedures.
6. COMMITTEES WITHIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In compliance with the 2018 Corporate Governance Code (as well as the 2020 Corporate Governance Code), which recommends listed companies to create committees within the Board of Directors, with competencies on specific areas, Art. 24 of the Articles of Association gives to the Board of Directors the power to set up internal committees with functions of advice and proposal, specifying their powers also for the purposes of ensuring the compliance of the corporate governance system with codes of conducts promoted by management companies of regulated markets.
On 16 February 2016, the Board of Directors set up, from among its members, a Nomination and Remuneration Committee, a Control and Risk Committee, and a Committee for Transactions with Related Parties (see Par. 8, 10 and 12 below).
In the performance of their functions, the Committees set up within the Board of Directors have the power to access the information and the corporate functions as needed for the performance of their respective tasks. The Committees may also make use of external consultants paid by the Company, within the limits of the budget approved by the Board of Directors.
We describe below the Committees created within the Board of Directors.
7. NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
In view of the organisational requirements of the Company, the operating procedures and size of its Board of Directors as well as the best practice, the Company has created a single nomination and remuneration committee, in compliance with the provisions of Arts. 4, 5 and 6 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code.
The provisions concerning the tasks, composition, organisation and operation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are found in the regulations of the Committee available at the registered office and on the website of the Company http://corporate.technogym.com/en.
Composition and operation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee
On 15 May 2018, the Board of Directors appointed the new members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Company, who are in office at the time of this Report.
The current composition of the Committee also complies with the recommendation in Standard 6.P.3 of the Code, pursuant to which the Committee may consist of Non-Executive Directors, the majority of whom independent, provided, as in the case in question, the Chairman of the Committee is chosen among the independent directors.
In particular, the following were appointed members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee: Vincenzo Giannelli, independent director (Chairman), Riccardo Pinza (Deputy Chairman) and Andrea Giuseppe Zocchi, independent director.
Pursuant to the Regulations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, at least one member of the Committee must have adequate knowledge and experience of financial matters or remuneration policies, to be assessed by the Board of Directors at the time of the appointment. The Chairman of the Committee currently meets this requirement.
The duration of the mandate granted to the Committee is set each time by the Board of Directors or, if this does not take care of it, coincides with duration of the mandate of the Board of Directors that has set it up. If the mandate of Board of Directors ends early, for whatever reason, the mandate of Committee is also terminated.
Each member of the Committee may be revoked by resolution of the Board of Directors, which at the same time shall find a replacement. If a member of the Committee becomes unavailable, for any reason, including resignation from the office of Director, the Board of Directors appoints a new member without delay, at the first possible meeting. The mandate of the members of the Committee appointed to replace outgoing members expires at the same time as the mandate of the members already in office at the time of the replacement, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors.
At the time of its first meeting, the Committee appoints a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman from among its members, unless the Board of Directors takes care of it. The Chairman is chosen from the Directors who meet the independence requirements indicated by the 2018 Corporate Governance Code.
The Chairman (or, in the case of absence or impediment of this, the Deputy Chairman) chairs the meetings of the Committee, prepares its activity, directs, coordinates and moderates the discussion. The Chairman (or, in the case of absence or impediment of this, the Deputy Chairman) reports to the Board of Directors on the activity carried out by the Committee and on the corresponding proposals and guidelines in the most appropriate ways and, in any case, at the first possible meeting of the Board of Directors. The Committee also reports to the shareholders on the procedures followed for the exercise of its functions and, to this purpose, the Chairman or another member of the Committee attends the annual Shareholders' Meeting.

The Committee is called by the Chairman (or, in the case of absence or impediment of this, by the Deputy Chairman) every time a meeting is deemed appropriate to its functions and also every time a meeting is requested in writing by one of the members of the Committee to the Chairman or the Deputy Chairman, specifying the topics to be added to the agenda. The meetings of the Committee are called by giving at least 3 (three) days' notice, by email, fax, telegram, registered mail, or by hand, or by other suitable means, specifying the location, date, time and the items on the agenda. In urgent cases, the Committee may be called by giving only 1 (one) days' notice. The meeting is in any case duly established, even in the absence of a formal call, if attended by all members of the Committee. The call notice must be sent to the standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company and a courtesy copy is also sent to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The meetings of the Committee may be duly held also via suitable audio, video or teleconference systems, provided all those entitled can take part and be identified, follow the discussion, intervene in the discussion in real time, and receive, send or view documents, with simultaneous review and decision/resolution. The Committee, on proposal of the Chairman of the meeting, appoints, at the time, a Secretary of the meeting, who may, or may not, be a member. The Committee may meet in any location, provided it is in Italy. For the meetings of the Committee to be valid, the presence of the majority of members in office is required. The decisions/resolutions of the Committee are taken with an absolute majority of those attending. The vote cannot be given by proxy and each member has the right to one vote.
The Secretary prepares the minutes for every meeting of the Committee. The minutes are signed by the Chairman of the meeting and the Secretary. The book of the minutes of the Committee is filed at the Corporate Affairs function and is available to all members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.
In 2020, two meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee were held in total, which lasted an average of one hour and a half, for which minutes were duly kept, and which were also attended by the Board of Statutory Auditors. In the context of these meetings, in the exercise of its functions, the Committee in particular, after relative investigations, analysed the following issues: (i) assessments on the results of the self-assessment process of the Directors pursuant to art. 1.C.1, lett. g) of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code and verification of the independence and integrity requirements of the same; (ii) guidelines on diversity policies pursuant to Art. 123-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law; (iii) plan for the free assignment of rights to receive Company's ordinary shares referred to as the "2020-2022 Performance Shares Plan"; (iv) assessments of the adequacy, overall consistency and concrete application of the remuneration policy and verification of the achievement of MBO results; (v) Report on the Remuneration Policy and compensation paid. With regard to the percentage attendance at the meetings by the individual members of the Committee, we refer, as already indicated, to Table 2 of the Annex of this Report. In 2021, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee expects to meet whenever it is deemed necessary for the purposes of the correct and effective performance of its tasks. At the date of this Report, the Committee had already met twice, mainly focusing on the assessment and approval of the remuneration plan based on financial instruments and the report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid, as well as on other issues subject to the annual verification by the same Committee.
Functions of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee
With regard to appointments, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has the following tasks:
- (a) to express opinions to the Board of Directors on the size and composition of the Board and make recommendations on the professional profiles whose presence in the Board of Directors is believed to be appropriate;
- (b) to make recommendations to the Board of Directors on the maximum number of positions as director or statutory auditor in other listed companies in regulated markets (also abroad), in financial, banking, insurance companies or large companies that may be considered compatible with an effective performance of the directorship of the Issuer, taking into account the participation of the Directors in the Committees established within the Board of Directors;

- (c) to make recommendations to the Board of Directors if difficulties arise in the application of the non-competition obligation specified for the Directors by Art. 2390 of the Civil Code, if the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company has authorised in general terms and in advance derogations to this prohibition to meet organisational needs;
- (d) to propose to the Board of Directors candidates to the office of Director in co-optation cases, if it becomes necessary to replace Independent Directors; and
- (e) to carry out a preliminary analysis for the preparation of a succession plan for the Executive Directors of the Company, if the Board of Directors decides to adopt such a plan.
With regard to remuneration, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has also been assigned the following tasks:
- (a) to make proposals to the Board of Directors on the remuneration policy for Directors and Key Managers;
- (b) to assess, at regular intervals, the appropriateness, overall consistency and practical application of the remuneration policy for Directors and Key Managers, making use in this regard of the information provided by the delegated Directors;
- (c) to make proposals or express opinions to the Board of Directors on the remuneration of the Executive Directors and the other Directors holding specific offices, as well as on the specification of performance objectives for the variable component of such remuneration, and to monitor the application of the decisions adopted by the Board of Directors, verifying, in particular, the actual achievement of the performance objectives.
The Committee may invite to its meetings the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, the other members of the Board of Directors and the members of the administration and control bodies of the companies of the group with regard to all or some items on the agenda. Any other person whose presence is believed to be useful to improve the performance of the functions of the Committee, with regard to all or just a few items on the agenda, may also be invited to the meetings.
In compliance with the Application Criterion 4.C.1., letter e) of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee may access corporate information and functions as necessary for the performance of its tasks and make use of external consultants, to the extent specified by the Board of Directors.
In line with the recommendations of Art. 6.C.6 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, no Director may take part in meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, when proposals are made to the Board of Directors concerning his/her remuneration.
The meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the decisions taken were duly recorded.
In support of the activity of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee during the year, the Board of Directors has offered to provide the body with all the resources that will be required for the correct performance of its functions.
For more information on the composition and the functions of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, we refer to the Regulation of the Committee and to the Remuneration Report, both available at the registered office and on the website of the Company (www.technogym.com - Governance section).
8. DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION
General remuneration policy

For information on the general remuneration policy for the year relating to the executive and nonexecutive directors and key managers, as well as the share-based remuneration plans and any indemnities due to directors in the case of resignation, dismissal or termination of the relation, we refer to the report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid prepared by Technogym pursuant to Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law and made available to the public in the terms and with the procedures specified by the legal and regulatory provisions, including by publication on the website http://corporate.technogym.com/it/governance/assemblea-degli-azionisti/2020. This policy has also been drafted by taking into account the recommendations of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code as better specified in the above mentioned report.
We note, in any case, that there are no agreements between the Company and any Director specifying indemnities, of insurance or other nature, in the case of resignation or dismissal without just cause or if the employment relationship ends after a public purchase offer.
For information regarding the application of the 2020 remuneration policy, reference is also made to the second section of the Report on remuneration and compensation paid by the Company pursuant to Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law, approved by the Board of Directors on the same date of approval of this Report (which is expected to be made available to the public according to the terms and modalities prescribed by applicable legal and regulatory provisions, including by publication on the website at http://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/shareholders-meetings). Reference is also made to the first section of this Report, relating to the proposed remuneration policy for the year 2021.
9. CONTROL AND RISK COMMITTEE
The Control and Risk Committee has been given functions of investigation, advice and proposal to support the Board of Directors in the analysis, identification, monitoring and solving of the issues related to the internal Control and Risk Management System. This Committee also provides advice and makes proposal on the adoption of corporate governance standards in the Company.
The provisions concerning the tasks, composition, organisation and operation of the Control and Risk Committee are found in the regulations of the Committee – carrying also provisions aimed at implementing the recommendations set forth in the Standard 7.P.4 and Application Criterion 7.C.2 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code – available at the registered office and on the website of the Company (http://corporate.technogym.com/en).
Composition and operation
On 15 May 2018, the Board of Directors appointed the members of the Control and Risk Committee, who are in office at the time of this Report.
In compliance with Standard 7.P.4 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, the Control and Risk Committee is currently composed of the following three non-executive directors, mostly independent: Maria Cecilia La Manna, independent director (as Chairman), Maurizio Cereda (as Deputy Chairman) and Chiara Dorigotti, independent director.
Pursuant to the Regulation of the Control and Risk Committee, at the time of the appointment, at least one member of the Committee must be deemed by the Board of Directors to have adequate knowledge and experience of financial issues or remuneration policies. The Chairman of the Committee currently meets this requirement.
If a member of the Committee becomes unavailable, for any reason, including resignation from the office of Director, the Board of Directors appoints a new member without delay, at the first possible meeting. The mandate of the members of the Committee appointed to replace outgoing members

expires at the same time as the mandate of the members already in office at the time of the replacement, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors.
At the time of its first meeting, the Committee appoints among its members a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman, unless the Board of Directors has already taken care of it.
Each member of the Committee may be revoked by resolution of the Board of Directors, which at the same time shall find a replacement. The duration of the mandate granted to the Committee is set each time by the Board of Directors or, if this does not take care of it, coincides with duration of the mandate of the Board of Directors that has set it up. If the mandate of Board of Directors ends early, for whatever reason, the mandate of the Committee is also terminated.
The Chairman (or, in the case of his/her absence or impediment, the Deputy Chairman), chairs the meetings of the Committee, prepares its activity, directs, coordinates and moderates the discussion and reports to the Board of Directors on the activity carried out by the Committee and on its proposals and guidelines in the most appropriate ways and, in any case, at the first possible meeting of the Board of Directors.
The Committee is called by its Chairman (or, in the case of his/her absence or impediment, the Deputy Chairman) for the execution of its functions and tasks with a frequency appropriate to the correct performance of these functions and tasks. The Committee meets also every time a meeting is requested by one of its members who shall send a written request to the Chairman or the Deputy Chairman, indicating the topics to be placed on the agenda.
The meetings of the Committee are called by giving at least 3 days' notice, by email, fax, telegram, registered mail, or by hand, or by other suitable means, specifying the location, date, time and the items on the agenda. In urgent cases, the Committee may be called by giving only 1 (one) day notice. The meeting is deemed, in any case, duly established, even in absence of a formal call, if attended by all members of the Committee. The call notice must be sent to the standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company and a courtesy copy is also sent to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System. The meetings of the Committee may be duly held also via suitable audio, video or teleconference systems, provided all those entitled can take part and be identified, follow the discussion, intervene in the discussion in real time, and receive, send or view documents, with simultaneous review and decision/resolution. The Committee, on proposal of the Chairman of the meeting, appoints, at the time, a Secretary of the meeting, who may, or may not, be a member. The Committee may meet in any location, provided it is in Italy. For the meetings of the Committee to be valid, the presence of the majority of members in office is required. The decisions/resolutions of the Committee are taken with an absolute majority of those attending. The vote cannot be given by proxy and each member has the right to one vote.
The meeting Secretary prepares the minutes for every meeting of the Committee. The minutes are signed by the meeting's Chairman and the Secretary. The book of the minutes of the Committee is filed at the Corporate Affairs function and is available to all members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.
9.1 Functions of the Control and Risk Committee
The Control and Risk Committee was given functions of proposal and advice as follows:

10. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Company has adopted an Internal Control and Risk Management System, in compliance with the recommendations of Art. 7 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, as well as best practices.
This has produced a coordinated and organic system of rules, procedures and organisational structures that, through an appropriate process of identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks to which the Company and its Subsidiaries are exposed, ensures the sound and correct management of the Company, consistent with its strategic objectives. The Internal Control and Risk Management System involves, within the scope of their competence:
- the Board of Directors, which sets the guidelines and assesses the adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System;
- the Control and Risk Committee, which has the task described in Paragraph 9 above of supporting, with appropriate investigation and proposal activity, the assessments and decisions of the Board of Directors on the system, as well as those relative to the approval of the regular financial reports;
- the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, Mr Carlo Capelli, who has the task of identifying the main types of corporate risk and implementing the guidelines defined by the Board of Directors, as described in detail in Paragraph 10.1 below;
- the Head of the Internal Audit function, Mr Giuliano Boccanegra, responsible for verifying that the internal control and risk management system is functioning and adequate, according to the detailed tasks indicated in the Paragraph 10.2 below. It should also be noted that the Board of Directors, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Director in charge of the internal control system, on 25 February 2021 approved the work plan relating to the 2021 financial year prepared by the head of the internal audit function;
- the Board of Statutory Auditors that, also in the capacity of Internal Control and Audit Committee pursuant to Art. 19 of the Italian Legislative Decree No. 39/2010, monitors the effectiveness of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
Considering the complexity of the management activities and taking into account that exposure to risk represents a fundamental and unavoidable component of the activity of the Company, the Board of Directors has recognised the need to identify and map, ex ante, before they arise, the main types of risk, and to adopt suitable instruments to manage them and reduce their impact.
Therefore, the Company has started for some time a process for the definition of an integrated risk management model, based on the principles indicated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO III), a framework already used in the design of both the system of internal financial controls, in compliance with the requirements of Italian Law No. 262/2005 and the organisational model adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.
In 2020, the Company continued the activities related to defining and implementing an integrated risk management system known as enterprise risk management (ERM), approved by the Board of Directors
in 2017, which during 2018 had been slowed down because of the launch of the new SAP information system at the Company and its subsidiaries, which had involved many corporate functions in the review and redefinition of the processes and information flows of the Company and the Group. In particular, in 2020 the Company revised and integrated operational risks into the ERM model, involving in this analysis a primary player active in the insurance sector and consultancy in the field of risk analysis.
In 2021, the activities and assessments already carried out to implement the ERM model will continue, with the implementation of the governance and internal organisation controls, to integrate the current risk management system in the daily operating activities of the individual company areas.
The risk assessment activities carried out during 2020 confirmed the methodological arrangement based on the following three macro-categories of risk:
- strategic risks, which are related to the corporate strategies aimed at achieving a competitive advantage consistent with the objectives set out in the business plan;
- business risks, which are related to the sector the Company belongs to and the business model with which the Company operates to achieve the objectives of the business plan;
- operational risks, which are related to the Group's organisational structure, control processes and IT systems.
In particular, in the area of operational risks, an in-depth review of insurable risks was carried out, which made it possible - where necessary - to integrate existing insurance policies and to stipulate additional ones, to cover the new risks recently emerged following the evolution of the business in which the Company operates.
Main characteristics of the Internal Control and Risk Management System with regard to the financial reporting process pursuant to Art. 123-bis, Par. 2, letter b) of the Consolidated Finance Law
The internal control system for the financial reporting process is an integral part of the wider context of the Internal Control and Risk Management System. In general, the internal control system implemented by the Company is aimed at ensuring the protection of the Company's assets, as well as ensuring compliance with the laws and regulations, efficiency and effectiveness of corporate transactions as well as the reliability, accuracy and timeliness of financial disclosures.
The internal control system for the financial reporting process aims at identifying the events that can jeopardise, in the event they occur, the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of financial disclosures and at assessing whether the process of preparation of the financial statements as a whole can produce financial reports in compliance with reference accounting principles.
The approach adopted in the design of the control model for the financial reporting process was inspired by international standards and industry best practices, and by the guidelines issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of Treadway Commission (known as COSO III).
The Financial Reporting Manager defines the administrative-accounting procedures for the preparation of the financial statements and other financial disclosures. Together with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Financial Reporting Manager ensures that these procedures are appropriate and actually applied when preparing the annual separate and consolidated financial statements and the halfyearly financial report of the Company.
Current stages of the Internal Control and Risk Management System with regard to the financial reporting process

During 2020, the Group carried out the ordinary activities of aligning and updating the control mechanisms relating to the financial reporting process, in compliance with the provisions of Italian Law No. 262/2005.
The analysis of the perimeter and the risk related to financial disclosures actually requires regular updates to identify the main changes occurred in the structure of the administrative-accounting processes as a result of the natural evolution of the business and organisation of the Group.
Therefore, the significant items of the financial statements and the corporate processes that provide data to them were identified, by defining the processes and controls to mitigate the risks connected with the true and fair view of the financial information.
In general, the control objectives for the financial reporting process concern the financial statements and the corporate control and organisation environment, such as the controls on the separation of the tasks, on compliance with the rules of conduct and the authorisation limits, on physical safety of goods, on diligent documentation and tracking of transactions.
Roles and functions involved
The risk management and internal control system of the financial reporting process is coordinated and managed by the Financial Reporting Manager, who, with reference to the 2020 financial year, was Mr Andrea Alghisi, while at the date of this Report, is Mr Massimiliano Moi, appointed by the Board of Directors on 17 February 2021 in compliance with the legislative and statutory provisions in force.
The Financial Reporting Manager is supported by the Internal Audit function, in the execution of assessments on the operation of the control system, and by the managers of the functions, who, within their area of competence, provide complete and reliable information for the preparation of the financial reports.
The Financial Reporting Manager is directly responsible for verifying the correct and prompt execution of management activities in the administrative, accounting and financial area, being required to supervise on an ongoing basis all stages of the monitoring and assessment of risk concerning the financial reporting process.
The Financial Reporting Manager regularly reports to the Board of Statutory Auditors on the adequacy, also in terms of organisation, and reliability of the administrative-accounting system and reports to the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors on the activity carried out and on the effectiveness of the internal control system with regard to risks concerning the information in the financial statements.
After carrying out these activities and controls, the Financial Reporting Manager issues the statements and certifications required by Art. 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law.
In particular, pursuant to:
- (i) Art. 154-bis, Par. 2, of the Consolidated Finance Law, the acts and communications of Technogym S.p.A., disclosed to the market and related to the interim and annual financial statements, are accompanied by a written statement from the Financial Reporting Manager, confirming they correspond to the supporting documents and to accounting books and records;
- (ii) Art. 154-bis, Par. 5, of the Consolidated Finance Law, the Financial Reporting Manager and the Managing Director issue a report on the annual financial statements, the condensed half-yearly financial reports, and the consolidated financial statements:

- a) the administrative and accounting procedures were adequate and actually applied in the period to which the documents refer;
- b) the documents are drafted in compliance with the international accounting standards recognised pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 July 2002;
- c) the documents correspond to the evidence provided by accounting books and records;
- d) the documents provide a true and fair representation of the economic, financial and capital situation of the issuer and of the companies included in the scope of consolidation;
- e) for the separate and consolidated financial statements, the Report on Operations provides a reliable analysis of the operating performance and financial position of the Issuer and the companies included in the scope of consolidation, together with a description of the main risks and uncertainties to which they are exposed;
- f) for the condensed half-yearly financial reports, the interim Report on Operations provides a reliable analysis of the information pursuant to Art. 154-ter, Par. 4 of the Consolidated Finance Law.
10.1 Director in charge of the Internal Control System
In support of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed, most recently on 15 May 2018, Mr. Carlo Capelli as Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
In execution of his functions, the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, with the support of the executives in charge of the different reference areas:

In the exercise of his functions, the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System has not observed so far, nor has been informed of, issues that needed to be promptly brought to the attention of the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.
10.2 Head of the Internal Audit function
On 11 May 2016 the Company's Board of Directors appointed Mr Giuliano Boccanegra as Head of the Internal Audit function, in compliance with the recommendations of Standard 7.P.3 b) and Criterion 7.C.5. of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code.
At the time of the appointment, the Board set the remuneration of the Head of the Internal Audit function in line with corporate policies, assigning an annual general budget to the Internal Audit function.

The Head of the Internal Audit function, who is not in charge of any business area and who reports to the Board of Directors, in the exercise of his functions, provides the information required by the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Control and Risk Committee. In particular, the Head of the Internal Audit function:
- verifies that the Internal Control and Risk Management System is operational and appropriate;
- verifies, both on a continuous basis and for special requirements and in compliance with international standards, the effectiveness and suitability of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, through the audit plan prepared by this, approved by the Board of Directors, based on a structured process of analysis and prioritising the main types of risk;
- prepares regular reports containing appropriate information on his own activity, on the procedures with which the risk management is carried out, on compliance with the plans defined to control risk, as well as an assessment of the suitability of the Internal Control and Risk Management System;
- promptly prepares reports on events of special significance;
- sends said reports to the Chairmen of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors, as well as to the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
The Head of the Internal Audit function has direct access to all information useful for the performance of the mandate and, if necessary, may also access the documents produced by third parties with control positions in the Company or in other Subsidiaries.
During the year, the Internal Audit function carried out and was involved in the following activities:
- verification in accordance with the Audit Plan, presented and approved by the Board of Directors on 17 March 2020;
- activity on behalf of the Supervisory Board, according to the contents of Technogym's Organisational and Management Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.

10.3 Coordination controls
To ensure the coordination of the parties involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System, the Company requires that meetings take place, at least once every six months, on a day known as "control day". These meetings are attended by all managers of the control functions or the functions that are in any case involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
The bodies and the functions in charge of Technogym's Internal Control and Risk Management System met regularly during the year.
10.4 Organisational model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001
The Company has implemented its own Organisational and Management Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, approved by the Board of Directors on 28 May 2013 and later updated by the Board of Directors on 3 December 2013, 7 March 2016, 4 August 2016, 23 October 2019 and 25 February 2021 (henceforth, "Model"). The revisions to the Model approved on 25 February 2021 mainly concerned the introduction of a specific special part relating to the tax offences envisaged by Art. 25 quinquiesdecies of Legislative Decree 231/01 as well as an overall update of the Organisational Model, aimed at reflecting the changes intervened in the company organisation and in the internal control system.
Technogym's Model is divided into two sections. The first section, of a general nature, describes the aims, addressees, components of the system of ex-ante control of the Model itself and, again in line with the requirements of Legislative Decree 231/2001, the structure, operation and tasks of the Supervisory Body 231, which, pursuant to Art. 6 of the Legislative Decree 231/2001, oversees the operation and compliance of the Model.
The first section of the Model also provides for training and information to be provided to the personnel of the Company on the content of the Model.
The second section of the Model, more specific, provides a description of the types of offences specified by Legislative Decree 231/2001 relating to the risk areas and risk activities considered to be applicable with respect to the effective business activities conducted and corresponding penalties for the areas of risk deemed applicable that are identified in the Model.
The offences that the Model, based on the results of the risk mapping carried out for the purposes of its adoption, aims to prevent, are:
- − crimes against the Public Administration and false declarations to Judicial Authorities;
- − computer offences and unlawful data processing;
- − organised crime and crimes with the purpose of terrorism or subversion of the democratic order;
- − forgery of identification instruments or marks and offences against industry and commerce;
- − corporate offences;
- − offences of corruption between private individuals;
- − crimes against the individual and the employment of illegally staying third-country nationals;
- − offences of market abuse;
- − crimes of involuntary manslaughter and involuntary serious or grievous injuries, committed in violation of accident prevention regulations and the protection of hygiene and safety in the workplace;
- − crimes of receiving stolen goods and money laundering, use of money, goods or benefits of illicit origin, as well as self-laundering;
- − offences involving violation of copyright laws;

- − environmental offences;
- − racism and xenophobia.
The provisions of the Model are integrated by those of the Technogym S.p.A.'s Code of Ethics, approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 28 May 2013 and updated at the meeting of 4 August 2016. The Code of Ethics describes the ethical commitments and responsibilities in carrying out company business and activities, by which all employees must abide in the performance of their activity, in the belief that ethics in the conduct of the business is required for the success of the company activity.
The Code of Ethics is available on the Company's website at http://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/corporate-documents.
The Supervisory Body 231 has the task of monitoring the operation of and compliance with the Code of Ethics. The Board currently in office was appointed by the Board of Directors on 15 May 2018. Given the type of business and organisation of the Company, it was considered appropriate to set up the Supervisory Body 231 in collective form. The members of the Supervisory Body 231 are:
- Mr. Andrea Ciani (as Chairman);
- Mr. Emanuele Scorsonetto;
- Mr. Giuliano Boccanegra.
To ensure full compliance with Legislative Decree 231/2001, the Supervisory Body 231 reports directly to the top management of the Company and does not have any hierarchical link to company operations to ensure its full autonomy and independence in the execution of its functions.
The Supervisory Body 231 presented (i) the half-yearly report relating to the activities performed in the first half of 2020 to the Board of Directors on 9 September 2020 and to the Control and Risk Committee on 8 September 2020 and (ii) the annual report relating to the financial year for 2020 to the Board of Directors on 25 February 2021.
10.5 Independent Auditors
Taking into account the guidelines most recently provided by CONSOB in its Communication No. 0098233 of 23 December 2014, concerning the granting of the audit mandate at the time of the assumption of the status of public-interest entity pursuant to Art. 16 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 39 of 2010, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Issuer, on 16 February 2016, has granted to the Independent Auditors, effective from and conditional to the presentation of the request for the shares to be admitted to trading on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, a new audit mandate (which includes the verification that the accounts are duly kept, and that the operating performance is correctly recorded) pursuant to Art. 13 and 17 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 39 of 2010, for the years 2016- 2024, for the Separate Financial Statements of the Company and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Technogym Group, to replace the ongoing mandate given to PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. itself on 17 July 2014.
By means of its resolution on 16 February 2016, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Issuer granted to the Independent Auditors, with effectiveness subject to the presentation of the request for the shares to be admitted to trading on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, an engagement for the limited audit of the condensed consolidated half-yearly financial statements of the Technogym Group for the six-month periods ending 30 June in the 2016-2024 period, an engagement for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Issuer, pursuant to the provisions of Arts. 14 and

16 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 39/2010, for the years from 2013 to 2021, inclusive, and the engagement for the limited audit of the condensed consolidated half-yearly financial statements of the Issuer for the six-month periods ending 30 June in the years from 2014 to 2021, inclusive, in compliance with the recommendations of CONSOB by means of communication DAC/RM/97001574 dated 20 February 1997. According to the mandate granted to the Independent Auditors, in the case of exceptional or unexpected circumstances that require a time commitment in excess to what had been estimated in the mandate, the parties must identify the unexpected activities and quantify the corresponding fees. The mandate also makes specific reference to the difficulty of quantifying the effect, in terms of time commitment for the execution of the mandate, of the coming into force of European Regulation No. 537/2014 and the adoption of European Directive 2014/56/EU as well as the Italian Legislative Decree No. 139/2015.
At the beginning of 2018, therefore, the Independent Auditors sent to the Company a proposal to integrate the mandate, to take into account the new laws and regulations that are coming into force. The proposal for the integration of the mandate and the fees received from the Independent Auditors was brought to the attention of the Board of Statutory Auditors. Pursuant to Art. 13, Par. 1 of the Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010 as subsequently amended, this in turn submitted a proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting in regard to the request of integration of the fees received from the Independent Auditors. With resolution of 8 May 2018, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Issuer approved the integration of the mandate to the Independent Auditors.
10.6 Financial Reporting Manager
On 17 February 2021, in compliance with the provisions of Art. 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law and the requirements set by Art. 25.2 of the Articles of Association and after hearing the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors appointed the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Massimiliano Moi, as Financial Reporting Manager, to replace the Financial Reporting Manager previously appointed on 27 March 2019, Mr. Andrea Alghisi.

- to take part in the meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company when the agenda includes the review of the Company's economic-financial data;

- to report, every six months, to the Board of Directors, the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors on the activity carried out.
The Financial Reporting Manager must meet not only the integrity requirements set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force for those carrying out administration and direction functions, but also

12. APPOINTMENT OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS
Pursuant to Art. 27 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Statutory Auditors is composed of 3 Standing and 2 Alternate Auditors. Their term in office expires at the time of the Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of the financial statements related to their third year of office. They may be re-elected.
The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors must meet the requirements of integrity, professionalism, independence and must respect the limit on the accumulation of positions set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force. For the purposes of Art. 1, Par. 2, letters b) and c), of the Decree of the Italian Ministry of Justice No. 162, dated 30 March 2000, as amended and integrated, the topics considered strictly relevant to the area of activity of the Company include commercial law, corporate law, tax law, business economics, corporate finance, subjects with a similar or comparable object as well as the topics and sectors relevant to the sector of the Company.
Until the shares of the Company are listed in a regulated market in Italy or in another Member State of the European Union, the Board of Statutory Auditors is elected by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of lists presented by the shareholders as specified below.
The lists may be presented by the shareholders who, alone or with others, at the time of the presentation of the list, hold a percentage equity investment at least equal to that specified for the Board of Directors. Each shareholder, the shareholders participating in a Shareholders' Agreement relating to the relevant Company as set forth in Art. 122 of the Consolidated Finance Law, the controlling party, the Subsidiaries and those subject to common control and other parties among which there is an affiliation, even indirect, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, cannot present or take part in the presentation, not even through a third party or trust company, of more than one list nor may vote for different lists.
The lists are divided into two sections: one for candidates for the office of Standing Auditor, the other for candidates for the office of Alternate Auditor. The first candidates of each section must be listed in the register of Independent Auditors and have carried out auditing activities for no less than 3 (three) years. The other candidates, if they have not met this requirement in the period immediately prior, must meet the other requirements of professionalism set forth by legislation and regulations in force at the time.
For the period of application of the legal and regulatory provisions in force on gender balance, any list presenting no less than three candidates (considering both sections) must also include candidates of both genders, so that at least one-third (rounding up) of the candidates to the office of Standing Auditor and at least one candidate to the office of Alternate Auditor (if the list also includes candidates to the office of Alternate Auditor) belongs to the less represented gender.
Each list for the appointment of a standing auditor and an alternate auditor must include a number of candidates belonging to the less represented gender which ensures, within such list, respect for gender balance at least to the minimum extent required by legislation and regulations in force at the time.
If the obligations set forth in this section are not met, the list shall be considered as if it had not been submitted.
The lists must be accompanied by the following:

- (a) information on the identity of the shareholders who have presented the lists, with the specification of the percentage equity investment held in total, being understood that the evidence of the ownership of this equity investment may be presented even after the deposit of the lists provided this is done within the term set for the publication of the lists by the Company;
- (b) a statement of the shareholders other than those holding, alone or jointly, a controlling interest or a relative majority, stating the absence of relations of affiliation, even indirect, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, with the latter;
- (c) exhaustive information on the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates, with specification of the administration and control positions held in other companies, as well as a statement by the candidates that the requirements set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force and by the Articles of Association, including those of integrity, professionalism, independence and limit on the accumulation of positions are met, and that they accept the candidature and, if elected, the office;
- (d) any other additional or different statement, information and/or document required by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
If these obligations are not fulfilled, the list is deemed as not presented.
The election of the Board of Statutory Auditors takes place as follows:
- (a) 2 Standing Auditors and 1 Alternate Auditor are taken from the list that obtained the highest number of votes, in the progressive order with which they are listed in the corresponding sections of the list;
- (b) the remaining Standing Auditor and the remaining Alternate Auditor are taken, based on the progressive order with which they are listed in the corresponding sections of the list, from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes after the list under (a), votes given by shareholders who are not related in any way, not even indirectly, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force, with the shareholders who have presented or voted the list that obtained the highest number of votes.
In case of parity between lists, priority is given to the list presented by the shareholders with the largest equity investment or, subordinately, by the largest number of shareholders.
The Articles of Association moreover regulates the following extreme case that could occur during the elections of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
If, at the end of the voting, the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors does not comply with the legal and regulatory provisions on gender balance in force, among the candidates to the office of Standing Auditor, the candidate of the most represented gender elected last in progressive order in the corresponding section of the list that obtained the highest number of votes shall be excluded and replaced by the first unelected candidate of the less represented gender of this section according to the progressive order. If, at the end of this replacement process, the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors still does not comply with the legal and regulatory provisions in force on gender balance, the replacement shall take place with resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting, with the relative majority of the votes there represented, after the presentation of the candidates belonging to the less represented gender.
If the number of candidates elected on the basis of the lists presented is less than the number of the Auditors to be elected, the remaining Auditors are elected at the Shareholders' Meeting, with the relative majority of the votes there represented, in a way to ensure compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force on gender balance. In case of parity of votes between different

candidates, a second ballot between them shall take place at the Shareholders' Meeting, and the candidate obtaining most votes shall prevail.
If a single list is presented, the Shareholders' Meeting shall vote on this list: if the relative majority of the votes there represented is obtained, all members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be taken from this list in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force, also in regard to gender balance.
If no list is presented, or if a single list is presented without obtaining the relative majority of the votes represented in Shareholders' Meeting, or if only a part of the Board of Statutory Auditors needs reappointing, or if it is not possible for any reason to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors with the procedures described above, the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall be appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, with the ordinary procedures and the relative majority of the votes there represented, without using the list vote mechanism, in a way to ensure compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force on gender balance, without prejudice to the provisions of Art. 30 of the Articles of Association.
The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors is identified in the person of the Standing Auditor elected by the minority, except the case in which a single list was voted or no list was presented; in these cases, the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors is appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting that resolves with the relative majority of the votes there represented.
If during the year, a member of the Board of Statutory Auditors from the list that received most votes becomes unavailable, he/she is replaced, until the next Shareholders' Meeting, by the first Alternate Auditor taken from this list.
If the requirements made by legal and regulatory provisions are no longer met, the member of the Board of Statutory Auditors forfeits his/her office.

***
Pursuant to the recommendations of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time, oversees the process of financial disclosure, the effectiveness of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements and the independence of the Independent Auditors, in particular with regard to the provision of non-auditing services. As part of their activities, the Auditors may ask the Internal Audit to perform assessments on specific operational areas or corporate transactions.
In 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the performance of its activity, liaised with the Internal Audit function and with the Control and Risk Committee through participation in discussions on issues of specific interest. The Internal Audit function has taken an active part in the assessments carried out by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
All Auditors must meet the requirements of eligibility, integrity and professionalism specified by the legal and applicable regulatory provisions in force at the time.
In compliance with Art. 144-novies of the Issuers' Regulation and the aforementioned Application Criterion, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors assess that the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors meet the requirements indicated above:
- (i) after the appointment, making the results of this assessment public in a press release;
- (ii) annually, including these results in the report on corporate governance.
Following the appointment of the Auditors in office at the date of this Report (as said before, at the Shareholders' Meeting on 8 May 2019), the Board of Directors, during its meeting of 14 May 2019, verified the compliance with said requirements and restrictions and the Auditors themselves verified, lastly in the meeting of 27 January 2021, that the independence requirements pursuant to the law and the 2020 Corporate Governance Code were still being met.

The Board of Statutory Auditors verifies the correct application of the criteria and the procedures of verification adopted by the Board to assess the independence of its members. The results of these assessments are disclosed to the market.
During the 2020 financial year, the Board of Statutory Auditors met a total of 13 times; the average duration of the meetings was approximately 3.5 hours. The meeting attendance record of each member is indicated, in percentage terms, in Table 3 enclosed to this Report. Ten meetings are scheduled for 2021, six of which had already been held at the date of this Report.
As regards the diversity policy, as already reported to the Board of Directors, on 24 March 2021, the Board of Directors evaluated the opportunity to adopt a specific diversity policy and decided not to do so, since the regulatory and legislative provisions, including therein the provisions of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, regarding the composition of administration, management and control bodies of the Company, together with the behaviour demonstrated by the Company's shareholders at the time of designation of the members of these bodies, allow an adequate composition in relation to aspects such as gender, age, experience, and professional and personal characteristics.
In addition to what is already provided for in the Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties (for a description of which please refer to the preceding Chapter 11), it was not deemed necessary to formalise specific procedural indications regarding the case in which there is an interest, on one's own behalf or on behalf of third parties, of a member of the Board of Statutory Auditors in a given transaction.
14. RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS
Technogym has created on its website (http://corporate.technogym.com) two special sections, respectively, "Corporate Governance" and "Investor Relations", easy to find and to access, which provide the information on the Issuer of interest to its shareholders (who are able to exercise their rights in an informed manner on the basis of this information), notably, the documents and information pertaining to the Shareholders' Meetings. The economic and financial documents for the period, the presentations used for the meetings with members of the financial community and the press releases to the market are published in the same way, among other things.
Also, pursuant to Application Criterion 9.C.1 of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, relations with the shareholders are handled by the Investor Relations function established by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has appointed Carlo Capelli as Investor Relator of the Company; Mr Capelli has been holding the office since the Trading Start Date and, subsequently to the new election of the Board of Directors, was confirmed for this office with resolution of the Board of Directors of 15 May 2018.
The Investor Relations function, reporting to the Managing Director, coordinates and manages the Company's communications to the financial markets and those addressed to institutional investors, analysts and retail investors.
In compliance with the recommendations of the 2020 Corporate Governance Code, the Company will proceed to the definition of a policy of dialogue with the shareholders to be submitted to the approval of the Board of Directors during the 2021 financial year.
15. SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS
The Shareholders' Meeting is called whenever the Board of Directors believes it is appropriate or when the call is required by law. The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting is called at least once a year within 120 days from the closing of the financial year. It may be called within 180 days from the closing of the financial year if the Company must draft the Consolidated Financial Statements, or when the longer term is necessary for special reasons related to the structure and the object of the Company; in the

latter cases, the Directors must indicate the reasons for the postponement in the report prepared pursuant to Art. 2428 of the Civil Code.
The Shareholders' Meeting may be called also outside the municipality in which the registered office is located, both in Italy and in other European Union countries. The call notice must indicate the date, time and place of the Shareholders' Meeting, the list of the topics to be discussed and any other information which must be provided in the call notice pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time. The call takes place through a notice published on the website of the Company, as well as with the other procedures specified by CONSOB, in the terms of law. If required by law or by the Board of Directors, the notice is also published, also in abstract form if allowed, on the daily newspaper "Il Sole 24Ore".
The Shareholders' Meeting is chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or, in the case of absence or impediment of this, by the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors (if appointed). If the latter is also absent or impeded, the Shareholders' Meeting is chaired by the person chosen by the Shareholders' Meeting itself with an absolute majority of the votes there represented. The Shareholders' Meeting appoints a Secretary, who may or may not be a shareholder, with an absolute majority of the votes there represented. The Chairman may choose 2 or more vote counters, who may or may not be shareholders, if he/she believes it to be appropriate. The assistance of the Secretary is not required if the minutes are drafted by a Notary Public chosen by the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting. The resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting are reported in the minutes signed by its Chairman and by the Secretary, if appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting. If required by law or if the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting believes it to be appropriate, the minutes are drafted by a Notary Public chosen by the Chairman.
The Shareholders' Meeting may be attended by those entitled to vote, provided their entitlement is proved with the procedures and in the terms set by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time. Shareholders may ask to be represented at the Shareholders' Meeting, issuing special proxies, according to limits and procedures of law, which are notified to the Company by sending these at the address of certified email specified, for each Shareholders' Meeting, in the call notice or, alternatively, through any other method of electronic notification indicated in the call notice.
As above described, pursuant to Art. 7 of the Articles of Association, each shareholder may obtain the special voting rights. The Board of Directors has therefore established the special list for the entitlement to the benefit of special voting rights and has appointed the person in charge of the management of the special list defining the keeping criteria in a special regulation published on the website http://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/increased-rating.
The same section contains the list of the shareholders relevant and present in the special list for the entitlement to the special voting rights of Technogym pursuant to Art. 143-quarter, Par. 5, of the Issuers' Regulation.
The Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting shall verify the regularity of the individual proxies and, in general, the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting. Unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors for a specific Shareholders' Meeting, explicitly indicated in the call notice, the Company does not appoint a party to which the shareholders may grant, for each Shareholders' Meeting, a proxy with voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda.
Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings take place in single call, except for what is specified by the next paragraph. At the Shareholders' Meetings in single call, the majorities required by the law in force at the time will apply, both for the regular establishment of the Shareholders' Meetings and the validity of the resolutions to be taken.
The Board of Directors may decide to hold a Shareholders' Meeting (either Ordinary or Extraordinary) after multiple calls, if it believes this to be appropriate, expressly mentioning it in the call notice. The resolutions in first, second or third call are taken with the majorities required by the law in force at the time, both for the regular establishment of the Shareholders' Meetings and the validity of the resolutions to be taken.
For a description of the topics reserved to the exclusive authority of the Board of Directors, we refer to Paragraph 4.3 of this Report.
All Directors take part in the Shareholders' Meeting and on these occasions the Board of Directors, in particular, reports on the activity carried out and scheduled and provides shareholders with appropriate information on the necessary elements to allow them to take the decisions within the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting in an informed manner.
The Articles of Association do not specify qualified quorums, and, therefore, for the validity of the constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting and the resolutions adopted by it, the legal provisions shall apply.
In compliance with the provisions of Art. 15 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Meeting of Technogym on 16 February 2016 approved the Shareholders' Meeting Regulations, which regulate the performance of the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of Technogym and can be found by shareholders and other entitled parties at the registered office of the Company and at the locations where the Shareholders' Meetings take place. The Regulations are also available on the Company website http://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/corporate-documents/rulesprocedures.
For the purposes also of Application Criterion 9.C.3. of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, the Regulations of the Shareholders' Meetings provide for the Chairman to regulate the discussion giving the floor to all those who take part in the Shareholders' Meeting being entitled to vote and who have asked to take the floor. The Chairman must intervene to avoid abuse or disturbances to the correct, regular and orderly performance of the Shareholders' Meeting. During the discussion, all those entitled to vote may take the floor only once, making comments and requesting information. Those entitled to vote may also make proposals on the items on the agenda. Those who wish to take the floor must make a request to the Chairman or, if instructed to do so by this, to the Secretary, the Notary Public or the Chairman's office. To guarantee the correct, regular and orderly performance of the activity of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Chairman may set, at the opening or in the course of the discussion on individual topics, a term for the presentation of the requests to intervene. These in any case cannot be made before the topic on the agenda to which the requests refer is read out and after the discussion on this topic has been declared closed. The Chairman usually gives the floor to requesting shareholders according to the chronological order of the requests presented. If two or more requests are made at the same time, the Chairman usually gives the floor to requesting shareholders in alphabetical order of surnames. The Chairman may also authorise the presentation of requests for intervention by a show of hands. In this case, the Chairman usually gives the floor to requesting shareholders in alphabetical order of surnames. The members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors may also ask to take part in the discussion.
In 2020, a Shareholders' Meeting, in an ordinary and extraordinary sessions, was held on 23 April 2020, which saw the participation of around 71.942% of the share capital.
Participation to the Shareholders' Meeting took place through the representative appointed pursuant to Art. 135-undecies of the Consolidated Finance Law, identified in Spafid S.p.A. as the Board has made use of the option referred to in Art. 106, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree no. 18 of 17 March 2020 in consideration of the emergency situation. This Shareholders' Meetings was attended by some members of the Board of Directors and by the Standing Auditors in office at the time. During the Shareholders' Meetings, the Board of Directors, through the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, reported on its activity, carried out and scheduled, providing shareholders with the information needed to take the decisions within the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting in an informed manner, making available all prepared documents concerning the individual items on

the agenda, before the Shareholders' Meeting, in the terms and the forms required by law and by the Articles of Association.
In the year ended 31 December 2020, there were no significant changes in the market capitalisation of the Issuer's shares. It should be noted that on 6 February 2020 an Accelerated Bookbuilding procedure was completed by Wellness Holding S.r.l. (the company holding the Issuer's shares until 14 May 2020) for the sale of 10,000,000 shares of the Issuer. On 14 May 2020, Wellness Holding S.r.l. proceeded to a spin-off operation as a result of which the new company Wellness Holding S.r.l. (VAT number 04508790401) was established, renamed TGH S.r.l. on 29 May 2020, which, as a result of the spin-off, therefore became the owner of the entire shareholding in the Issuer's share capital.
At the date of publication of this Report TGH S.r.l. holds 39.73% of the Issuer's share capital (which represents 56.87% of the total voting rights), while the remaining 60.27% of the Issuer's share capital is floating on the MTA market managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.
16. OTHER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Company does not apply other corporate governance practices, besides its legal and regulatory obligations, in addition to those already indicated in the previous paragraphs of this Report.
In particular, we refer to Paragraph 10.3 of this Report, for the model adopted by the Company pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.
17. CHANGES AFTER THE END OF THE REFERENCE YEAR
There were no changes in the Corporate Governance structure since the end of the year, with the exception of what may have been already specified in previous sections.
