At the date of this meeting notice, in accordance with Article 5 of the Articles of Association, the subscribed and paid-up Share Capital of Tinexta S.p.A. (the "Company") is Euro 47,207,120.00, subdivided into 47,207,120 Ordinary Shares with no indicated nominal value; each Ordinary Share confers the right to vote in the Company's Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' meetings. No Shares of a category other than Ordinary Shares have been issued. The Shares are indivisible.

Pursuant to Article 83-sexies of the TUF, entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise voting rights is subject to receipt by the Company of notification issued by a qualified intermediary in accordance with applicable rules, on the basis of evidence of own accounting records relating to the end of the Record Date of the seventh trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting in single call, i.e. 17 April 2020 (the Record Date). The registration of credit and debit entries made after that date are not relevant for the purposes of entitlement to exercise voting rights at the Shareholders' Meeting.

Pursuant to Art. 83-sexies, paragraph 4 of the TUF, intermediaries' notifications must reach the Company by the end of the third trading day prior to the date fixed for the Shareholders' Meeting on single call (i.e. by 23 April 2020). The entitlement to participate, attend and vote remains valid, moreover, if the notifications reach the Company after the aforementioned deadline, provided that they arrive before the work of the Shareholders' Meeting has begun. Please remember that notification to the Company is made by the intermediary, at the request of the party with the right.

Postal or email voting procedures are not envisaged for this Shareholders' Meeting.

Pursuant to Art. 106 of Decree Law No. 18 of 17 March 2020 (the so-called "Cura Italia" Decree) the participation in the Shareholders' Meeting by those who have the right to vote is allowed exclusively through the designated representative.

Consequently, the Company appointed Computershare S.p.A. - with registered office in Rome, via Monte Giberto, 33 - to represent the Shareholders pursuant to Article 135-undecies of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 and the aforementioned Decree Law (the "Designated Representative"). Shareholders who wish to attend the Shareholders' Meeting must therefore grant the Designated Representative a proxy - with voting instructions - on all or some of the proposed resolutions on the items on the Agenda using the specific proxy form, also available electronically, prepared by the Designated Representative in agreement with the Company, available on the Company's website at www.tinexta.com ("Governance/Shareholder Meeting" section) where a link to a procedure for the electronic submission of the proxy is provided.

The proxy form with voting instructions must be submitted following the instructions on the form itself and on the Company's website by the second trading day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting in single call (i.e. by 24 April 2020) and within the same deadline the proxy may be revoked.

The proxy, thus conferred, shall take effect only for those proposals in relation to which voting instructions have been given.

Shares for which the power of attorney has been conferred, even in part, are taken into account for the purpose of due constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting. In relation to proposals for which voting instructions have not been provided, the Shares are not taken into account for the purpose of calculating the majority and the share of capital required for the approval of resolutions.

It should be noted that the Designated Representative may also be granted proxies or sub-powers of attorney pursuant to Art. 135-novies of the TUF, as an exception to Art. 135-undecies, paragraph 4 of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 exclusively by means of the form, in the manner and within the term indicated on the Company's website, www.tinexta.com ("Governance /Shareholders' Meeting" section).

In view of the limitations that may arise due to health requirements, entitled parties (members of management bodies, the Secretary designate and the Designated Representative) may also (or exclusively) participate in the Shareholders' Meeting by means of telecommunications in the manner individually communicated to them, in compliance with the regulatory provisions applicable in such case.

The Designated Representative will be available for clarification or information at +390645427413 or at [email protected].

Shareholders are informed that the Company reserves the right to supplement and/or amend the above instructions in consideration of the intervening needs as a result of the current COVID-19 epidemiological emergency and any developments that cannot be anticipated at this time.
