REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 1 OF THE ORDINARY MEETING

2022 Financial Statements.

  • c) Approval of the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2022; Report of the Board of Directors; Board of Statutory Auditors' and Independent Auditors' Reports. Related and consequent resolutions.
  • d) Allocation of the profit for the year 2022 and part of the extraordinary profit reserve to dividends. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

concerning the description of the first item of the agenda for the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, please refer to the information published as required by law within the annual Financial Report and, in particular, to the issues included in the Management Report prepared by the Board of Directors of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A ("UnipolSai" or the "Company") as well as the reports by the Board of Statutory Auditors and by the Independent Auditors, EY S.p.A.; such documentation will be made publicly available in its entirety as prescribed by law at the Company's registered office and on its website (www.unipolsai.com) under Governance/Shareholders' Meetings/2022/Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023.

The consolidated financial statements and the other documents pursuant to Art. 154 ter, Paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, shall also be made available as described above.

Please note that, pursuant to EU Regulation 815/2018, the annual financial reports of issuing companies must be prepared in XHTML format and the information in the consolidated financial statements (financial statements, certain identifying data of the issuer and information contained in the notes to the financial statements) must be marked up using XBRL specifications according to the technical requirements laid out in the European Single Electronic reporting Format (ESEF). The documentation constituting the 2022 annual financial report (consolidated financial statements and draft separate financial statements, accompanied by the relative management reports) was as a result prepared in accordance with such technical requirements.

With regard to the proposed dividend distribution, it should be noted that, in a communication issued on 13 March in view of the closure of the accounts relating to the year 2022, IVASS – taking into account the macroeconomic situation and the possible evolution of risk factors linked to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the ensuing energy crisis and the initiation of Quantitative Tightening by the European Central Bank, as well as rising inflation, the increase in interest rates and the deterioration in loan access conditions for households and businesses – "recommends adopting, at

individual and group level […] extreme prudence in resolutions for the distribution of dividends and other capital elements, ensuring their compatibility with the potential impacts of further exacerbations of the relevant factors."

As at 31 December 2022, UnipolSai holds distributable profit reserves for a total of Euro 1,900 million and boasts significant current and forward-looking capital strength, with an individual Solvency Ratio of 288% (calculated using the Partial Internal Model as authorised by IVASS), with excess capital of roughly Euro 5.72 billion, already deducting the dividend proposed for distribution for the year 2022.

In this regard, it should be noted that the current and forward-looking capital adequacy level of the Company (considering the payment of planned dividends) is adequate to cover Solvency II prudential requirements, including with reference to the most severe stress scenario identified during the own risk and solvency assessment ("ORSA"). Similar conclusions are reached with reference to the financial position, on the basis of the forward-looking liquidity analyses performed, also with reference to stress scenarios.

Therefore, it is deemed that all requirements are met to proceed with the distribution of such dividend to the extent set forth above, in compliance with criteria of prudence.

** *** **

The Board of Directors therefore hereby submits the following resolution proposals.

The Board of Directors

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 3 OF THE ORDINARY MEETING

Purchase and disposal of treasury shares and shares of the holding company. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

it should preliminarily be recalled that the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. ("UnipolSai" or the "Company"), convened on 27 April 2022, authorised the Board of Directors to purchase and dispose of treasury shares within the meaning of Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, and shares of the holding company Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. (the "Unipol Shares" or the "Holding Company Shares" and "Unipol"), pursuant to Art. 2359-bis of the Italian Civil Code, for a period of 18 months and for a maximum amount, respectively, of Euro 100 million for treasury shares and Euro 100 million for Unipol Shares.

It is specified that as of the date of this Report:

  • − the share capital of UnipolSai, entirely subscribed and paid-in, was Euro 2,031,456,338.00, divided into 2,829,717,372 ordinary shares with no nominal value. The Company holds a total of 241,550 treasury shares in the portfolio, equal to 0.009% of the share capital, of which 101,453 directly and 140,097 indirectly, through the following subsidiaries:
  • − Arca Vita S.p.A., for 6,537 shares;
  • − Leithà S.r.l., for 14,843 shares;

  • − UnipolAssistance S.c.r.l. for 3,455 shares;
  • − the share capital of Unipol is equal to Euro 3,365,292,408.03, fully subscribed and paid in, divided into 717,473,508 ordinary shares with no nominal value. The Company holds 58,826 Unipol Shares, equal to approximately 0.008% of the share capital.

On the basis of the above-mentioned authorisations, with reference first and foremost to treasury shares, the Company:

  • − purchased, in February 2022, a total of 1,800,000 treasury shares to service the compensation plan based on financial instruments for the three-year period 2019-2021 (the "2019-2021 Plan");
  • − assigned, on 27 April 2022, a total of 930,464 treasury shares to the Managers of the Company in implementation of the 2019-2021 Plan, as the Short Term

Incentive (STI) for 2021;

− assigned, on 2 January 2023, to the Managers of the Company a total of 886,707 treasury shares, again in implementation of the 2019-2021 Plan, as the first tranche of the Long Term Incentive (LTI) accrued under the Plan.

Instead, as regards the Unipol Shares, on the basis of the above-mentioned authorisations, the Company:

  • − purchased a total of 1,000,000 Unipol Shares, in February 2022, to service the 2019-2021 Plan;
  • − assigned a total of 519,783 Unipol Shares, on 27 April 2022, to the Managers of the Company, in implementation of the 2019-2021 Plan, as the STI for 2021;
  • − assigned, on 2 January 2023, to the Managers of the Company a total of 490,174 Unipol Shares, again in implementation of the 2019-2021 Plan, as the first tranche of the LTI accrued under the Plan.

It is hereby proposed that the aforesaid authorisations be issued again, upon revocation of the existing authorisation, (i) within the maximum limit of expenditure specified herein, (ii) for a term of 18 months, (iii) for the reasons and purposes specified below, and (iv) according to the procedures and terms specified below.

Justifications and objectives

The authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares aims to provide the Company with an instrument to pursue, in its interest and in accordance with applicable legislation, the following objectives:

  • i) to use the treasury shares for their allocation for the purposes of the compensation plan based on financial instruments, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance;
  • ii) to intervene, directly or through intermediaries, to promote the smooth conduct of trading, against distortions due to an excessive volatility or insufficient market liquidity;
  • iii) to take the investment opportunity that can be derived from market trends and thus also by pursuing trading objectives - or connected with any strategic transactions of interest to the Company;
  • iv) to use treasury shares for the efficient use of the liquidity generated by the core activity of the Company;
  • v) to provide an additional method for remunerating Shareholders above and beyond the distribution of dividends;
  • vi) to use these shares to ensure, if necessary, the overall consistency of transactions that create the need to place fractional shares of the capital of the Company.

The proposal for authorisation to purchase treasury shares is not, at present, directed

at reductions of the share capital of the Company through the cancellation of treasury shares purchased.

The authorisation to purchase and dispose of the Holding Company Shares aims to provide UnipolSai, in the Company's interests and in compliance with applicable regulations, with the means to pursue the following objectives:

  • − to use the Unipol Shares for their allocation in execution of the compensation plans based on financial instruments, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance;
  • − to take the investment opportunity that can be derived from market trends and thus also by pursuing trading objectives - or connected with any strategic transactions of interest to the Company;
  • − to use such shares for the efficient use of the liquidity generated by the core activity of the Company.

Number of shares that may be purchased and procedures for executing the purchases and disposals

We propose that:

  • (i) the purchase of treasury shares and Unipol Shares may be carried out up to the maximum amounts permitted by law, in the manner provided for by Art. 132 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Art. 144-bis, paragraph 1, letters a), b), c) and d-ter) and paragraph 1-bis of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as amended (Issuers' Regulation), as well as by any other regulatory national and European provision, where applicable;
  • (i) the disposal of treasury shares and Unipol Shares is made pursuant to current provisions, even carrying out, one or more times, subsequent transactions of purchase and disposal, until the expiry of the term of the authorisation. In particular, the shares purchased in the context of the compensation plans based on financial instruments approved under Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance may be assigned and attributed in the manner and within the terms stated in the regulations of the plans themselves.

It is proposed that a maximum limit of expenditure be confirmed, of Euro 100 million for the purchase of treasury shares and of Euro 100 million for the purchase of Unipol Shares, to be meant on a revolving basis, taking into account the treasury shares and the Unipol Shares sold according to the authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Price of the purchases and disposal of treasury shares and of the shares of the holding company

Both the purchases and the disposal of treasury shares and Unipol Shares shall be made at a price of no more than 15% and no less than 15% of the reference price

recorded by the respective securities on the trading day before the date of each transaction. Said parameters are deemed adequate to identify the range of values within which the purchase and disposal of the shares are of interest to the Company.

The Board of Directors therefore hereby submits the following resolution proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS ON THE SINGLE ITEM ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY MEETING

Amendments to the By-Laws. Related and consequent resolutions.

  • a) Amendment of Art. 6 ("Share capital") to update the shareholders' equity elements of the Non-Life and Life businesses pursuant to Art. 5 of ISVAP Regulation no. 17 of 11 March 2008.
  • b) Amendment of Art. 27 ("Distribution of profits") with inclusion of the attribution to the Board of Directors of the right to allocate an annual amount to a specific provision for social, welfare and cultural purposes.

Dear Shareholders,

the Board of Directors of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. ("UnipolSai" or the "Company") has called you to an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to discuss and resolve on the only item on the agenda, as referenced above.

This report (the "Report") prepared in accordance with Art. 125-ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, (the "Consolidated Law on Finance" or "TUF"), and Arts. 72 and 84-ter as well as Annex 3A, schedule 3 of the Regulation adopted with CONSOB Resolution No. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended and integrated (the "Issuers' Regulation") is aimed at presenting:

  • i) the reasons for the proposed amendments to the above articles of the By-Laws;
  • ii) a comparison of the articles of the By-Laws proposed for amendment, in the current and in the new text, with a relevant illustration of the changes made;
  • iii) the resolutions proposed to the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

REASON AND ILLUSTRATION OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE BY-LAWS

The amendments that are to be made to the By-Laws are intended, respectively, to (i) update the representation of the individual items that make up the company's shareholders' equity, separately attributed to the Non-Life and Life businesses and Distribution (ii) attribute to the Board of Directors the right to allocate an annual amount to a specific provision for social, welfare and cultural purposes.

Below is an analytical description of the proposed amendments to the By-Laws and the relative reasons.

Article 6 ("Share capital")

Given that Art. 5 of ISVAP Regulation No. 17/2008 (Regulations governing the joint exercise of Life and Non-Life business) states that "multi-branch" companies must represent in the By-Laws the individual items making up the company's shareholders' equity, separately allocated to Non-Life and Life businesses, it is appropriate to amend Art. 6 of the Company's By-Laws in order to represent the elements of the company's shareholders' equity and the related numerical expressions, separately for the two above mentioned businesses (Non-Life and Life), in the actual composition and size that these assets have assumed, in particular, due to the following events concerning the Company:

  • the approval of the 2021 financial statements by the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2022 and the resulting allocation of the relative profit for the year;
  • transactions concerning the treasury shares and shares of the holding company Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Holding Company"), taking place in 2022;
  • the time-barring of dividends from previous years not yet collected by those entitled;
  • the decrease in the reserve for deferred taxable profits established for the year 2021, as resolved by the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2022, pursuant to Decree Law no. 104/2020, converted with Law no. 126/2020.

More specifically, insofar is as of interest here, the aforementioned Art. 6 of the By-Laws must represent the effects of the amendments made on the items of shareholders' equity due to changes in the items "Reserve for shares of the Holding Company", "Negative reserve for treasury shares in the portfolio" and "Other reserves" relating to the Non-Life and Life businesses.

Article 27 ("Distribution of profits")

It is proposed that a specific provision that attributes to the Board of Directors the right to allocate an annual amount to a specific provision for social, welfare and cultural purposes be inserted as the last paragraph of Art. 27 of the By-Laws ("Distribution of profits").

This proposal is consistent with the role that UnipolSai and the Unipol Group have long since assumed in terms of corporate social responsibility, in the firm belief of the importance of disseminating an ethical culture of the company, also with a view to pursuing sustainable success. A specific provision of the By-Laws, in this regard, therefore serves to underline the importance to the company of the social, cultural and welfare implications of its work, always combined with the primary objective of remuneration of capital and the creation of value in the long-term for the benefit of Shareholders.

With this in mind, the proposal in question identifies the maximum amounts that the Board of Directors may annually allocate to a specific provision to pursue the

aforementioned social, welfare and cultural purposes. This amount - also in line with a similar specific provision contained in the By-Laws of the parent company Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - should not exceed 1% of the net profit resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting with regard to the previous year. In essence, the portion reserved for this provision will be determined by the administrative body by adopting, as the basis for calculation, the net profit resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting with reference to the previous year. In this way, the amount of the provision can be easily determined by the Board of Directors taking into account both the result for the previous year, just defined, and the economic performance of the current year.

In order to make it easier for the changes to be identified, for each provision of the By-Laws that is subject to an amendment proposal, below the current text is reported in the column on the left and the new proposed text in the column on the right. In particular, with reference to the new text, the following steps have been taken:

INFORMATION REGARDING THE OCCURRENCE OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Please note that the proposed amendments to the By-Laws, also in the light of the provisions of Art. 127-quinquies, par. 6, of the TUF, do not provide the Shareholders with the right of withdrawal if they do not approve of them, taking into account that the amendments to Articles 6 and 27 are not sufficient to provide the right of withdrawal as identified by Art. 2437 of the Italian Civil Code.

In addition, please recall that the effectiveness of the proposed amendments to the By-Laws is subject - aside from the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting - also to the relevant approval by IVASS, pursuant to Art. 196 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 209 of 7 November 2005.
