Any changes and/or additions to the information in this notice of call will be made available in a timely manner through the Company's website and by the other means allowed by law.

The share capital is equal to Euro 6,010,000 and it is divided into no. 601,000,000 ordinary shares without a nominal value, of which no. 125,000,000 with one vote right per each and no. 476,000,000 have obtained the increase of the voting rights pursuant to art. 7 of the Statute, and, therefore, with two vote rights per each. At the date of the present notice of call, the total number of voting rights is equal to no. 1,077,000,000. The Company does not hold treasury shares.

ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND

In accordance with Article 83-sexies of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 16 of the Articles of Association, the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting – which may be exercised exclusively through the Appointed Representative – is subject to the Company's receipt of the statement, which each entitled shareholder must request from that shareholder's depositary intermediary, issued by an authorised intermediary in accordance with law, certifying ownership of the shares based on its accounting records at the end of the accounting day that is the seventh trading day prior to the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting,

i.e., 13 June 2023 (the "record date"). Additions or removals made to the accounts after that date are not taken into account for the purposes of entitlement to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. Therefore, persons who become owners of shares after that date will not be entitled to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting.

The intermediary's statement must be received by the Company by the end of the third trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting and, therefore, by 19 June 2023. However, shareholders will be entitled to attend and vote if the Company receives the statements after that date but before the meeting is called to order.

There are no procedures for voting by post or by electronic means.

Those entitled to attend (e.g., members of the corporate bodies, the Appointed Representative, representatives of the auditing firm and the secretary of the meeting), may also (or exclusively) attend the Shareholders' Meeting through the use of remote connection systems that allow them to be identified, in accordance with applicable law. The Company will provide instructions to the aforementioned persons on how to attend the Shareholders' Meeting via means of audio/telecommunication.

ATTENDANCE AT THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING BY GRANTING A PROXY TO THE APPOINTED REPRESENTATIVE

As provided for by Article 106 of the Cura Italia Decree, those entitled to vote shall attend the Shareholders' Meeting solely through the Appointed Representative. The proxy may be granted without charge to the person granting the proxy (with the exception of postage), with instructions to vote on all or some of the items on the agenda.

The proxy must be given using the specific proxy form available, and the instructions for completing and sending it are on the Company's website at the address https://www.technoprobe.com/investors/governance/shareholders-meetings.

The proxy with the voting instructions must be received by the Appointed Representative, together with a copy of a currently valid identity document for the Delegating Shareholder or, if the Delegating Shareholder is a legal person, for the legal representative pro tempore or other person with appropriate powers, together with documentation attesting such person's title and powers, by the end of the second trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e., by 20 June 2023), by one of the following methods: (i) transmission of an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) to the certified e-mail address [email protected] (subject "Delega Assemblea Technoprobe June 2023") from the person's own certified e-mail address (or, failing that, from the person's ordinary e-mail address, in which case the proxy with the voting instructions must be signed with a qualified electronic or ature); or (ii) transmission of the original, by courier or registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, to the address Monte Titoli S.p.A. – c.a. Ufficio Register & AGM Services, Piazza degli Affari no. 6, 20123, Foro Buonaparte 10, 20123 Milan (Ref. "Delega Assemblea Technoprobe June 2023") and sending an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) in advance by ordinary e-mail to [email protected] (subject "Delega Assemblea Technoprobe June 2023"). The proxy and voting instructions may be revoked before the end of the second trading day preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e., by 20 June 2023) in the manner set out above.

Shares for which a proxy has been given in whole or in part are calculated for the purposes of determining whether the Shareholders' Meeting was duly called and a meeting quorum is present. The proxy will have no effect for agenda items for which no voting instructions were given.

As provided for by the Cura Italia Decree, as an exception to Article 135-undecies, paragraph 4 of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance, those who do not wish to use the means of attending allowed by Article 135 undecies of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance may, alternatively, grant the Appointed Representative a proxy or sub-proxy under Article 135-novies of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance, which must contain

voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda, by using the proxy/sub-proxy form available on the Company's website at www.technoprobe.com.

Those proxies and sub-proxies must be sent in the manner indicated above and on the proxy form. The proxy must be received by 6:00 p.m. on the day before the Shareholders' Meeting (and in any case before the meeting is called to order). The proxy and voting instructions may be revoked in the manner indicated above before that deadline.

For clarifications on granting the proxy to the Appointed Representative (and specifically on completing the proxy form and the voting instructions and their transmission), Monte Titoli may be contacted by e-mail at [email protected] or at the following telephone numbers (+39) 02.33635810 (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on business days).

These proposals, even in the absence of a Board of Directors proposal, will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting starting from the proposal submitted by the shareholders representing the highest percentage of the share capital. Only if the proposal put to the vote is rejected, will the next proposal be put to the vote in the order of the capital represented.
