EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTIONS

Item 2 on the agenda:

Granting of a proxy (in Italian, "Delega") to the Board of Directors, to be implemented in one or more tranches within 30 months from the date of the Shareholders' meeting resolution, for an overall amount of EUR 60,000,000.00, including the premium, in order to: (i) resolve a capital increase against payment, in divisible form, pursuant to Section 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, also with the exclusion or limitation of the option right pursuant to Section 2441, paragraphs 4, 5 and 8 of the Italian Civil Code, also through the issuance of shares to be reserved for incentive-based programs for the assignment of financial instruments in favor of directors, employees and collaborators of the Company, identified by the Board of Directors against specific lock-up commitments; and (ii) issue convertible bonds into ordinary shares of the Company pursuant to Section 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code, together with the power to resolve the related capital increase for the conversion, also with the exclusion or limitation of the option right pursuant to Section 2441, paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code. Consequent amendments to Section 5 of the Company's By-Laws.

This report (the "Report") – prepared according to Sections 125-ter of the Consolidated Financial Law and 72 of the Issuers Regulation, as well as to Annex 3A to the Issuers Regulation – is aimed at providing the motivations of the above proposal.

In particular, the Board of Directors called an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to submit to your approval

the granting to the Board of Directors of the proxy pursuant to and for the effects of Section 2443 of the Italian Civil Code and Section 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code, to be exercised within one or more tranches, in relation to a share capital increase, against payment and in divisible form, for a total maximum amount of Euro 60,000,000.00 (sixty million), including any premium, to be implemented within thirty months from the date of the shareholders' resolution (the "Proxy").

In fact, pursuant to the combined provisions of Sections 2443 and 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code, the By-Laws may grant directors, respectively, the right to:

  • increase the capital, in one or more tranches, up to a specific amount and for a maximum period of thirty months from the date of the resolution;

  • issue convertible bonds, in one or more tranches, up to a specific amount and for a maximum period of thirty months from the date of the resolution (in this case, the proxy related to the corresponding increase in share capital shall be considered as included).

Considering that the Proxy to be granted includes the power of the administrative body to implement it also excluding in whole or in part the option right pursuant to Section 2441, paragraphs 4, 5 and 8 of the Italian Civil Code, when this right is exercised, paragraph 6 of Section 2441 of the Italian Civil Code shall apply and the By-Laws must set the criteria the directors must comply with in implementing the Proxy.

For the reasons and purposes better described below, the Proxy we propose to grant to the Board of Directors is broad and general. In particular, it includes the powers to:

  • (i) increase the share capital in one or more tranches, against payment and in divisible form (in one or more tranches), pursuant to Section 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, through the issue of ordinary shares with regular entitlement and having the same features of the ordinary shares that are already outstanding at the date of issuance:
    • i. to be offered as an option to those entitled; and/or
    • ii. to be offered in whole or in part to third parties, with the exclusion or limitation of the option right pursuant to paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Section 2441 of the Italian Civil Code;
  • (ii) issue, in one or more tranches, convertible bonds pursuant to Section 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code, to be offered as an option to those entitled and/or third parties, also with the exclusion or limitation of

the option right pursuant to paragraph 5 of Section 2441 of the Italian Civil Code, resolving the corresponding capital increase to serve the conversion of the bonds, divisible (in one or more tranches), through the issuance of ordinary shares with regular entitlement and having the same features of the ordinary shares that are already outstanding at the date of issuance.

Therefore, within the limits of the total amount of the Proxy indicated above, the Board of Directors will have the broadest powers to:

  • (i) identify the operating tools of each implementation of the same Proxy and, therefore, the issuance of shares, convertible bonds and/or a combination thereof;
  • (ii) identify and determine the amount of each issue;
  • (iii) identify from time to time the recipients of the shares and/or convertible bonds deriving from each exercise of the Proxy within the categories of qualified investors (1 ) and/or commercial, financial and/or strategic partners from time to time identified, also in relation to transactions which provide for contributions in kind; and
  • (iv) establish, upon each issuance, from time to time and in compliance with the limits indicated above, the terms and conditions of the transaction, including the issue price, including any share premium, of the shares and/or of the convertible bonds (as well as the shares serving the conversion of the latter) and their entitlement, according to the methods described in Paragraph 4 of this Report.

Without prejudice to the powers that will be granted under the Proxy, the Board of Directors, taking into account the general and market context, as well as the performance of the Company's share on the regulated market on the issue date, will assess the conditions under which each issuance may be implemented. On this matter, please consider that according to Section 2441, paragraph 6, of the Italian Civil Code the issuance price of the shares in the event of exclusion or non-entitlement of the option right shall be determined on the basis of the net equity of the company, taking into account, if the shares are listed on regulated markets, also the performance of the shares. Furthermore, since these are pure indicative parameters, in the event of exclusion of the option right the legislative reference to the net equity shall be intended in a way that does not necessarily coincide with the merely accounting data. Instead, it is necessary

1 According to the definition provided for by Section 2(1)(e) of UE Regulation 2017/1129.

to refer to the economic value of the company to be determined also in consideration of market parameters. Having said this, the Board of Directors, in consideration of the purposes for which the transactions is intended, will have to take into account the effective willingness of potential investors to pay the price that will be set by the Board itself in the exercise of the Proxy as represented above.

In the light of the operating ways that will be chosen for carrying out the mentioned transactions, the Board of Directors (even with the support of its advisors) shall be able to identify the most appropriate criteria for determining the economic value of the company and - therefore - the issue price of the shares to be offered to recipients and/or to be issued to service the conversion of the bonds, which takes into account the effective circumstances and are consistent with the purposes of the transaction itself. At the time of each implementation of the Proxy, the Board of Directors will give due account in its report of the reasons that justify the exclusion of the option and the criteria for determining the subscription price of the shares and/or bonds to be issued (as well as the shares to service the conversion of the latter), also for the release of the fairness opinion on the price by the independent auditors appointed pursuant to Section 158 of the Financial Consolidated Law.

1) REASONS AND SCOPE OF THE TRANSACTION

The proposed transaction is aimed at providing the Company and, on its behalf, the Board of Directors, with a suitable instrument to allow the rapid and efficient procurement of risk capital and financial resources to be used to support the implementation of its industrial plan, as an alternative to the resources currently available, with less onerous methods and with less impact on the share. The transaction would also enhance the existing investments, strengthening the Group's equity consistency and ensuring a more favorable positioning on the market, seizing the opportunities arising from a possible positive evolution of the national and international macro-economic scenario.

In fact, the Proxy would make allow the achievement of advantages in terms of flexibility and timeliness in implementing the transaction, giving the Company a chance to, with adequate timing, catch the most favorable moment for carrying out extraordinary transactions, also taking into account the high uncertainty and volatility that characterize the financial markets. In this context, in addition to the aforementioned flexibility regarding the timing of the implementation, the Proxy has the further advantage - with respect to

the resolution of the shareholders' meeting – of deferring to the Board of Directors the decisions on the features of the issuance and the financial conditions of the offer as a whole (including the maximum amount of the offer and the issue price of the shares involved in the offer) on the basis of prevailing market conditions at the time of the effective launch of the transaction, reducing among other things the risk of fluctuation in stock exchange prices between the notice of the transaction and the actual start of the latter, which would occur if the transaction were decided by the shareholders' meeting.

Furthermore, the instrument of the Proxy, in the case of exercise with the exclusion of the option right, appears to allow the Company - where in the future the assumptions, conditions and corporate interest concretely recur - to evaluate possible transactions with subjects interested in investing in the share capital of Tiscali and, among other things, in providing further support to the potential development of future strategic projects, hopefully also in a medium-long term. In fact, the Board of Directors believes that the implementation of a reserved capital increase by means of the Proxy, may accelerate the entry into the corporate share capital of leading high standing Italian and foreign investors. The proposal to exclude the option right, therefore, is motivated by the Company's interest in seizing the possibility of: (i) expanding and diversifying the number of shareholders with the entrance of new partners and investors, as well as strategic operators and investors institutions interested in supporting the growth of the Group; (ii) structuring the transaction quickly and efficiently in order to seize market opportunities; and (iii) offering the newly issued shares as counter value for the acquisition of shareholdings, companies, business branches and/or industrial activities of interest to the Company as part of the Group's growth strategy through external acquisitions.

Furthermore, with reference to the capital increase to be allocated to any remuneration plans based on financial instruments in favor of directors, employees and collaborators of the Company, against specific lock-up commitments by the latter, with the exclusion of the option right to pursuant to Section 2441, paragraphs 5 and 8, of the Italian Civil Code, the Proxy to the Board of Directors will allow the Company to achieve a growth in its value in the medium/long term, strengthening the loyalty and incentive policy towards subjects belonging to the aforementioned categories, in line with the market best practices. It remains understood, however, that should the Proxy be conferred within the proposed terms, the

7

decision of the Board of Directors to carry out a capital increase reserved to third parties, with the exclusion of all or part of the option right and against a dilution of the shareholding, could be resolved only when justified by specific needs arising from the corporate interest and the overall benefits of the transactions that can be pursued in line with the provisions of Section 2441, paragraph 6, of the Italian Civil Code.

2) ESTABLISHMENT OF GUARANTEE AND/OR PLACEMENT ASSOCIATION AND RELATED COMPOSITION, AS WELL AS THE METHODS AND TERMS OF THEIR INTERVENTION

As of today, the establishment of a guarantee and/or placement association is not envisaged. If, upon the exercise of the Proxy resolved by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, the opportunity to establish an association with regard to the specific features and recipients of the transaction should arise, the Board of Directors will promptly inform the market pursuant to applicable Law and regulations.

3) ANY OTHER TYPES OF PLACEMENTS

As indicated above, it should be noted that the shares and/or bonds under the Proxy may be offered:

(i) as an option to the Company's shareholders, pursuant to Section 2441, first paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code;

(ii) to qualified investors (2 ) and/or commercial, financial and/or strategic partners identified from time to time, with the exclusion or limitation of the option right pursuant to Section 2441, paragraph 4, second sentence, and paragraph 5, of the Italian Civil Code and Section 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code;

(iii) as part of incentive programs based on the assignment of financial instruments, to directors, employees and collaborators of the Company, against specific lock-up commitments by the latter, also pursuant to Section 2441, paragraph 8, of the Italian Civil Code;

(iv) to subjects identified by the Board of Directors in the context of transactions which provide for the contribution in kind (in whole or in part) of shareholdings, companies, business branches and/or industrial activities of interest to the Company, within the development and growth strategy for external lines of the Group pursuant to Section 2441, paragraph 4, first sentence, of the Italian Civil Code;

(v) through a combination of the alternatives referred to in the preceding points.

4) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING

2 See footnote 1

THE ISSUE PRICE OF NEW SHARES, TO BE RESOLVED IN THE EXERCISE OF THE PROXY

The exercise of the Proxy will also include the power to set, from time to time, the terms and conditions of the capital increase, the recipients, the issue price of the shares, including any share premium, the dividend rights, the assignment in the event of increases in option rights to the Company's entitled parties as well as, in the event of the issue of convertible bonds, the interest rate, term, any guarantees, the conversion ratio, the assignment ratio in the event of an option offer, as well as all the other conditions of the loan (including the repayment of the loan in cash, even in advance, through the delivery of shares, or through a combination of the two methods).

In general, therefore, the Board of Directors (with the support of its advisors, if any) would have the broadest power to define the terms, methods and conditions of the capital increase (also with reference to each tranche) and to draw up the terms and conditions of the convertible bond.

For resolutions relating to capital increases to be offered as an option or - in whole or in part - to third parties with the exclusion of the option right, or to service the conversion of bonds, in determining the issue price of the new shares, as well as in determining the conversion ratio of the bonds, the Board of Directors shall refer to market best practices for similar transactions, the most commonly recognized valuation methods used in professional and international practices. In particular, financial and income methodologies may be used, possibly compared and weighted according to commonly recognized and used criteria, as well as market multiples of comparable companies, also taking into account the trend in the price of the Company's shares recorded in the last six months, in compliance with the provisions of Section 2441, paragraph 6, of the Italian Civil Code (applicable in the event of exclusion or limitation of the option right).

Furthermore, in the event of exclusion of the option right pursuant to article 2441, paragraph 4, second sentence, of the Italian Civil Code, the offer price of the shares must correspond to the market value of the shares and this latter condition shall be assessed by a specific report prepared by the auditing firm pursuant to the Law and the By-Laws.

It is understood that the criteria and reasons illustrated in this paragraph and in the previous only provide illustrative principles which the Board of Directors may comply with in the implementation of the Proxy. It

9

remains understood that, upon the execution of each tranche of the Proxy, the Board of Directors of Tiscali will prepare specific explanatory reports in order to illustrate the specific criteria used to determine the key features indicated above, as well as the reasons for the exclusion of the option right, also for the purposes of the release of the fairness opinion to be released by the auditing firm appointed pursuant to Section 158 of the Consolidated Financial Law.

5) DURATION AND AMOUNT OF THE PROXY

The proposed duration of the Proxy is equal to 30 months from the date of the resolution, allowing its implementation within one or more tranches. Once this term has elapsed, the Proxy will cease to be effective. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the timing for exercising the Proxy, pursuant to Section 2443 and/or Section 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code, depending on the case, as well as the terms and conditions of any issue, will depend on the existing opportunities that should arise and, in any case, will be promptly communicated to the market in compliance with Law and regulations as soon as they are determined by the Board of Directors .

The Proxy for the increase of the share capital and that the Board calls for, is up to a maximum of Euro 60 million inclusive of the share premium, with the power of the Board to establish whether to implement it through the issuance of ordinary shares or to serve, in whole or in part, a convertible bond to be issued pursuant to Section 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code.

6) AUTHORIZATIONS OF THE COMPETENT AUTHORITIES

The proposed transaction is not subject to authorizations from the competent Authorities.

In the light of the definitive terms and conditions of the capital increase that will be resolved by the Board of Directors for the implementation, in whole or in part, of the Proxy, the Company shall evaluate the opportunity to prepare an information report for the offer and/or admission to trading, promptly complying with all the information obligations provided for by the applicable national and Community legislation, including regulations.

7) SHAREHOLDERS WHO HAVE SHOWN THE WILLINGNESS TO SUPPORT

This section is not applicable, provided that the Proxy is granted pursuant to Section 2443 of the Italian Civil Code.

8) EXPECTED PERIOD FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The duration of the Proxy is 30 months from the date of the shareholders' resolution. Upon the implementation of each tranche of Proxy, the Board of Directors shall establish the execution period for each transaction, taking into account the conditions of the financial markets.

9) DATE OF ENTITLEMENT OF THE NEWLY ISSUED SHARES

The newly ordinary shares to be issued after the implementation of the Proxy, also following the conversion of any bonds issued, will have regular dividend rights and will grant their holders equal rights with respect to the shares already issued by the Company.

10) ECONOMIC-EQUITY EFFECTS

Upon the implementation of the Proxy and basing on the technical terms according to which the transaction described in this Report will be effectively achieved, an extensive information regarding the economic and financial effects of shall be given to the market.

Since this is a Proxy pursuant to Section 2443 of the Italian Civil Code and provided that the issue price and the number of ordinary shares to be issued will be determined only at the time of exercise of the Proxy by the Board of Directors, at the moment it is not possible to provide indications or formulate an estimate regarding any dilutive effects.
