INTRODUCTION
This Report, drafted based on the latest format prepared by Borsa Italiana (X Edition – December 2024), aims at describing the corporate governance model adopted by Webuild, providing a brief description of the procedures adopted to implement the traditional administration and control Model used by the Issuer.
The corporate governance structure adopted by the Issuer is based on recommendations made at the time by the Corporate Governance Committee as it is believed, on the one hand, that having a well-structured system of corporate governance rules allows the Issuer to operate with the maximum efficiency and, on the other, that ensuring increasingly greater levels of transparency helps increasing investors' confidence in the Issuer.
This Report was approved by the Board of Directors on April 2, 2026.

1. ISSUER PROFILE
General profile
Webuild S.p.A. is an issuer with shares listed on Euronext Milan, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana (Euronext Group).
Webuild is a global leader in the design and building of large-scale complex infrastructures for sustainable mobility, hydroelectric energy, water management and production and green buildings.
The Group is one of the international leaders in Italy, Australia, Europe and the United States, with a consolidated presence in about 50 countries, with about 95,000 people including direct and third parties employees. With 120 years of engineering applied to over 3,700 projects, Webuild boasts a track record that includes the construction of 14,581 km of railways and metros, 82,708 km of roads and motorways, 1,023 km of bridges and viaducts, 3,466 km of tunnels, 320 dams and hydroelectric plants.
The most well-known projects completed include the expansion of the Panama Canal, the Long Beach International Gateway bridge in California, the Third Bosphorus Bridge in Turkey and the San Giorgio Bridge of Genoa, the skytrain viaduct of the North-West metropolitan line in Sydney, the Kingdom Center skyscraper in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, the metro systems of Copenhagen, Paris, Rome, Milan, Doha and Riyadh.
During 2025, over 24 new contracts were awarded, bringing the number of projects in progress worldwide to 150. During the year, 20 major projects were also delivered, including: the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), the largest hydroelectric project in Africa; the Riachuelo Environmental Remediation Plant – Lot 2 in Argentina; the two Archaeological Stations Colosseo/Fori Imperiali and Porta Metronia on Line C of the Rome Metro.
The projects underway include the New Genoa Foranea Dam, the Brenner Base Tunnel, Line C of the Rome Metro, the high-capacity line between Genoa and Milan, railway sections on the Naples-Bari high-speed and Palermo-Catania-Messina high-capacity lines and the Snowy 2.0 hydroelectric project in Australia.
The 2025 Top 250 International Contractors ranking, published by Engineering News-Record (ENR) based on the revenues generated by companies outside their domestic markets in 2024, saw Webuild further strengthen its position across major global infrastructure segments.
The Group confirmed its position as the world's number one in the water sector, maintaining its decades-long leadership in the dedicated ENR ranking, which includes dams, water systems and treatment plants. In this area, Webuild also stands out for the robustness of its expertise in drainage and wastewater/stormwater treatment systems (Sanitary & Storm Sewers), where it ranks 7th globally, reaffirming the Group's strategic role in developing resilient and climate-adaptive infrastructure.
In the sustainable mobility sector, Webuild consolidates its presence by placing 10th in the Transportation category, which includes major railway, metro, and mass transit infrastructure, supporting regional connectivity and the transition toward low-emission mobility models.
Overall, Webuild records a significant strengthening of its geographic positioning in key markets such as Australia, where it rises to 3rd place in the national ENR ranking, underscoring the Group's growing relevance in the country's main development programs.
For Webuild, the clean hydro energy and clean water sectors represent a significant portion of the Group's revenues, equal to 25% of the total as at 31 December 2025, largely fuelled by the progress of technically challenging hydroelectric projects that serve as best practices worldwide for their rate of innovation, such as Snowy 2.0, the largest project for the production of renewable energy in Australia carried out together with the Australian subsidiary Clough, and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) in Ethiopia, completed in 2025, the largest dam in Africa. The subsidiary Fisia Italimpianti also contributes to these results, serving over 20 million people with desalination plants, especially in the Middle East. The desalination of seawater is one of the most promising methods to solve the critical issue of water scarcity, allowing the supply of clean and drinking water, for daily and public use, for industrial processes, for sanitary uses and more.

CERTIFIED EQUIVALENCE
The US-based Lane is strengthening the Group in implementing a number of projects aimed at ensuring the modernisation and expansion of the road infrastructure system in the USA, from Florida to Virginia, from North Carolina to South Carolina.
At the end of 2025, the Group posted a record new orders with € 13.2 billion of projects acquired, of which more than 90% were acquired in key geographies with a low risk profile.
The solid order backlog, the robust growth achieved in recent years, the strengthened financial structure, the disciplined contract management, and the Group's leadership position in its key markets—which enables it to benefit from the increase in public infrastructure investments represented a decisive element in the upgrade of its rating from "BB" to "BB+", with a Stable Outlook, by the agencies Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings.
In the month of June 2025, Webuild successfully issued a new bond, for a total of € 450 million with maturities in 2031. In addition to accelerating the rescheduling of debt maturities set between 2025 and 2026 and managing them well in advance, these placements confirmed the strong appreciation of the Group's solid financial positioning by the international and domestic financial community.
Pillars of the corporate identity and organisational structure
The purpose of the Company is aimed at creating value, from improving people's lives to building valuable relationships as partners for a sustainable future. Each of Webuild's values underlies the business model and the growth strategy and is made operational in practice with binding documents such as the Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct for Suppliers. The value system focuses on "respect" for the people, communities and territories in which the Group operates, the safeguard of people's health and safety, the leveraging and inclusion of all diversity, the ability to innovate sustainably as well as "excellence", understood as application and development of engineering know-how and techniques. In recent years, Webuild has strengthened the organisational structure, with in-depth interventions on the corporate culture and on the active involvement of the main decision-making and operational levels, to ensure optimal monitoring of all core processes, from planning to bidding and execution. This control is guaranteed by a centralised governance system, articulated through the Corporate "Competence Centre": these ensure, on the one hand, the application of best practices and Group Guidelines to all subsidiaries and, on the other, the optimisation of operational skills and synergies along the entire value chain, also overseeing reputational risks and brand value and always orienting activities towards the pursuit of sustainability objectives.
Responsible and sustainable business model
Sustainability is a fundamental component of Webuild's business model, fully integrated into the Group's strategy in which the environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives are reflected in all its activities.
This, along with an unwavering ethic and a collaborative and transparent approach to ongoing relations with all stakeholders, allows the Company to combine the creation of economic value for shareholders, investors and customers with the generation of social and environmental value for the employees and stakeholders of the regions in which it operates; contributing to advancing 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations.
The Group's commitment to achieving the sustainable development objectives is confirmed by the ESG Plan for 2025 approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2024, with which the Group set increasingly challenging objectives that are able to respond more tangibly to the growing requests posed by global challenges, further consolidating the ambition to contribute to achieving the SDGs.¹ Throughout 2026, the Company will formulate a new Industrial Plan and the related ESG Plan.
The effectiveness of the ESG controls put in place by the Group is confirmed by many awards and independent ratings assigned to the Company, which allowed it to be included in the MIB® ESG Index, the ESG sustainability index reserved to Italian blue-chip launched by Borsa Italiana (Euronext Group), which

includes the 40 most important Italian listed companies based on their effective commitment in terms of environmental, social and governance sustainability.
Among the most significant achievements in this area, it is worth noting that in 2025 Webuild was included in the CDP Climate Change A List, receiving an “A” rating, the highest score awarded by CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project). This recognition follows the Company’s prior inclusion in the 2024 CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment A List, which assigned Webuild the top rating for its commitment to managing climate-related impacts across the value chain.
Furthermore, in 2025 Webuild confirmed its “Gold” rating from EcoVadis, placing the Company among the world’s leading performers in environmental, social and governance practices, with a position of excellence within the infrastructure sector.
Webuild also continued to receive strong evaluations from other ESG rating agencies, including an “AA” rating from MSCI ESG Ratings and a “B- Prime” level rating from ISS-ESG.
The Company’s current organisational structure includes the Corporate Social Responsibility Department under the Corporate and Finance General Manager. This department specifies and guarantees the implementation of a Sustainability Plan that adheres to the company’s targets and that is consistent with international standards. It also prepares the Consolidated Sustainability Report.
Furthermore, the management of the Company and the entire Group are committed to operating in accordance with environmental, ethical and professional principles, which comply with the highest international standards for governance and citizenship.
The Company has adopted a business management and organization Model based on a system of principles (Code of Ethics, Suppliers’ Code of Conduct, Policies²) and management and control instruments (risk management, Models, procedures, controls) aimed at monitoring the significant ESG issues, in line with the regulations applied in the various countries in which it operates, as well as with main international standards and Guidelines.
On these issues, Webuild is one of the signatories of the Global Compact of the United Nations, the largest global sustainability initiative that commits companies to align their activities and strategies with ten universally recognised principles in terms of human rights, labour, the environment and fight against corruption.
In addition to certified Quality, Health and Safety, Environmental management systems, the Company has adopted a certified anti-corruption management system (see Section 9.5), an additional and important tool for implementing the Company’s ICRMS, which aims at strengthening some prevention protocols already in place and at expressly stating the need to abide by applicable international regulations, especially the FCPA-Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UKBA-UK Bribery Act.
As of December 2023, the Company has further enhanced its governance policies with the approval of the Antitrust Guidelines, the first element in the creation of an antitrust management system that is consistent with the guidelines of the Italian Competition and Market Authority.
Furthermore, the Company is committed to ensuring respect for human rights in compliance with the principles stated in the International Charter of Human Rights, the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This commitment is also reflected in the Modern Slavery Statement, last approved by the Board on 14 May 2025, which outlines the measures taken by Webuild to address the risks of modern slavery in its operations and supply chain.
Taken as a whole, the Governance System of Webuild – based on the traditional administration Model and in line with the international best practice standards – represents a fundamental tool to guarantee efficient management of the Group and, at the same time, a tool for effectively controlling all business activities, consistently with the goals of creating value for the shareholders and of protecting the interests of all stakeholders.

The agreement executed on 26 July 2024 and entered into force on 23 November 2024, containing shareholders’ agreements relating to ordinary shares of Salini Costruttori and Salini S.p.A., which mainly envisage voting commitments regarding the composition of their corporate bodies. The subject matter of the shareholders’ agreements are all the shares of Salini Costruttori held by the signatories of the agreement that are shareholders of this company, representing about 90.09% of the share capital of Salini Costruttori. The provisions of the agreement relating to the above shall remain effective for a period of three years from 23 November 2024. For more details, please refer to Excerpt pursuant to art. 122 of Consolidated Finance Act and art. 129 of Consob Issuers’ Regulation published on the Website in the Governance - Other documents Section.
The Issuer and its subsidiaries, in pursuing their own strategic goals, have entered into some agreements of a financial or contract nature, which are amended or terminated in the event of a change of shareholders controlling the Issuer. In particular, some of the loan agreements and the bond regulations contain restrictions on the change of control of the Issuer (change of control clauses), which confer to the lenders or bondholders the right to request the early payment of the sums provided or, in the case of bonds, the right to exercise, vis-à-vis the Issuer, an option on the retrocession of the financial instrument (so-called “put”). An accurate description of the clauses of the loan agreements and contracts, which do not need to be disclosed pursuant to other legal provisions, may be seriously prejudicial to the Company and its subsidiaries.

All Directors have the necessary level of professionalism and expertise for the tasks assigned to them (Principle V of the CG Code). The number and the expertise of the non-executive directors are such as to ensure they have a significant weight in the adoption of board resolutions and to ensure effective monitoring of operations.
A significant portion of the non-executive directors is also independent both pursuant to the TUF (13 Directors out of a total of 14 non-executive directors) and pursuant to the CG Code (11 Directors out of a total of 14 non-executive directors) (Principle VI of the CG Code).
Since the end of the Year, no further change has been made to the Board of Directors. Further information concerning the composition of the Board of Directors at the end of year is provided in Table 1, in the Annex.
With regard to the professional profile of the Directors in office, please refer to the Website "Governance - Board of Directors" Section.
Diversity criteria and policies in the composition of the Board of Directors and in the corporate organisation.
Pursuant to Principle VII of the CG Code the Company applies diversity criteria, including gender-based, for the composition of the administrative body, with the priority objective of ensuring adequate competence and professionalism of its members.
On 15 March 2018, the Board of Directors of Webuild, also in light of the clarification provided by the Assonime Circular No. 5 of 16 February 2018, has reserved to itself the power to resolve on Diversity Policies in the composition of the Board of Directors (pursuant to art. 10 of Italian Legislative Decree 254/2016 and art. 123-bis, par. 2, letter d-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act), without prejudice to the

preliminary investigation functions of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and having consulted the Independent Directors.
The tools used by the Board of Directors to define the aforementioned policies are:
(i) the legislative and regulatory framework in force;
(ii) the outcome of the Board Evaluation (to be able to understand the Directors' guidelines, with particular regard to the Independent Directors, on gender diversity, age and educational and professional background);
(iii) the guidelines of the Board of Directors to Shareholders, prepared at the time of the renewal of their offices.
The objectives of the Diversity Policies are represented by the increased effectiveness of the operation of the management body, considering the unique characteristics of the Group's business, its international vocation and its industrial strategy.
The main information on Webuild's Diversity Policies is provided below.
Gender diversity.
The provisions of the Bylaws (art. 20 and 30) and the current composition of the Board of Directors are in line with Recc. 8 of the CG Code¹³ and art. 147-ter, par. 1-ter of the Consolidated Finance Act¹⁴, as reported below.
Gender diversity in the current Board of Directors
| Male Gender | Female Gender | |
|---|---|---|
| no. Directors | 9 | 6 |
| % | 60% | 40% |
In addition to the above-mentioned provisions of the Bylaws, the Board of Directors, on 15 March 2018, decided, as a general principle regarding Diversity Policies:
(i) to take into consideration the aforementioned provisions in presenting its list of candidates at the time of the renewal of the offices, as well as, in case of replacement of directors, pursuant to art. 20 of the Bylaws and art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code;
(ii) to assess, during the Board Evaluation, the composition of the Board of Directors, also in regard to gender diversity;
(iii) to recommend to the Shareholders, at the time of the directors' report to the Shareholders on the items on the agenda and/or during the Guidelines pursuant to Recc. 23 of the CG Code, the presentation of lists meeting the applicable rules on gender diversity.
In all these activities, the Board of Directors makes use of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, which carries out the preliminary investigation and presents its outcome to the Board itself.
Age diversity.
In the Italian legislative system, no specific provision is envisaged that sets age limits on the offices of director (and statutory auditor). Equally, the Code of Corporate Governance, in the provisions regarding the composition of the board and its regular self-assessment, does not envisage any reference to the parameters of age.
The company believes that it is useful to think of the concept of age as a component of the broader concept of experience. Given there are no explicit recommendations in the legal or regulatory provisions aimed at blocking the appointment of members who have exceeded specific age thresholds, the Company did not see fit to conform to said approach, not putting in place specific policies targeted at indicating given age thresholds for the fulfilment of the engagement and therefore, limiting its role to monitoring the composition, also in terms of age, of the Board, in the hope, nonetheless, of ensuring a balance between the various age brackets.
¹³ The Recc. 8 of the CG Code states that “At least one third of the administrative body and the control body, where autonomous, is made up of members of the less represented gender”.
¹⁴ Art. 147-ter, par. 1-ter of the Consolidated Finance Act, as introduced by art. 1, par. 302, of Italian Law No. 160 of 27 December 2019 sets a more stringent criterion than the provisions of the aforementioned Recommendation, requiring that, for six consecutive terms from its entry into force, the less represented gender obtain at least two fifths of the elected directors.

Educational and professional background diversity
Pursuant to Principle V of the CG Code, the administrative body is composed of executive and non-executive directors, all with the necessary level of professionalism and expertise for the tasks assigned to them. In particular:
- pursuant to Recc. 35 of the CG Code, the Control and Risk Committee must possess, as a whole, adequate expertise in the business sector in which the Company operates, for evaluating the associated risks; at least one member of the committee must also have adequate knowledge and experience in accounting and finance or risk management;
- pursuant to Recc. 26 of the CG Code, at least one member of the remuneration committee must have adequate knowledge and experience in finance or remuneration policies, to be assessed by the administrative body at the time of appointment.
The evaluation of the professional characteristics of the members of the Board of Directors is carried out before the renewal of the management body, for the purposes of the preparation of the Guidelines to Shareholders, pursuant to Recc. 23 of the CG Code, on managerial and professional positions whose presence on the Board is considered appropriate. The definition of the Guidelines is in turn carried out by also using the results of the regular Board Evaluation.
With regard to the Board of Directors in office, the Issuer applies diversity criteria, including gender-based, for the composition of this, in respect of the priority objective of ensuring adequate competence and professionalism of its members (Principle VII of the CG Code).
To achieve this objective, the Board of Directors, also in view of the renewal of the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting on 24 April 2024, prepared and published, well in advance of the Shareholders' Meeting (8 days in advance, namely on 7 March 2024), the Guidelines to Shareholders on the composition of the Board of Directors, making the express recommendation, addressed to Shareholders, to take into account, in preparing the lists, the provisions of the law on gender balance in corporate bodies (in line with the provisions of Recc. 23 of the CG Code).
The Company shall also ensure the continuous training to Directors on the main issues relating to the activities of the Group (for the specific work/induction sessions held during the Year, please refer to Section 4.5 below).
The effectiveness of this training and information activity is verified during the Board Evaluation to identify further training requirements.
The Issuer also adopts measures aimed at promoting equal treatment and opportunities between genders in its entire company organisation, monitoring their practical implementation (Recc. 8 of the CG Code).
Notably, Webuild is committed to continue to work to create a work environment encouraging the inclusion, recognition and enhancement of all diversity, in line with the provisions of the "Policy on Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Inclusion".
This context includes the initiatives and measures to promote equal treatment and opportunities for all genders, as well as the enhancement of female talent, which take place in three key areas, as stated below.
1. Employer Branding.
Webuild has extended and consolidated its commitment to support scholarships and academic programs for women through a partnership with major universities and national and international bodies, in particular through the following activities.

Employer Branding activities carried out
- attending the Society for Women Engineers (SWE) conference of the Lane subsidiary in the USA for the fifth year in a row. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is one of the leading international organizations, bringing together 50,000 members of all genders across 85 countries, and serves as a global reference point for the advancement of women in engineering and technology.
- implementation, in partnership with Curtin University, of the 'Girls Engineering Tomorrow Program', an awareness-raising initiative aimed at increasing the visibility of engineering among girls and non-binary students and supporting their pathway toward university engineering studies. The initiative seeks to inspire and connect female students interested in STEM subjects.
- provision, in collaboration with the University of Melbourne, Western Sydney University and the University of Queensland, of two scholarships — the 'Webuild Future Leaders Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship' and the 'Webuild Indigenous Engineering Scholarship' — awarded to ATSI (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) students.
- awareness-raising on diversity and inclusion issues at the Italian Technical Institutes participating in the 'Build Up' Training and Employment program, which involves approximately 1,000 students each year.
2. Selection and acquisition of human resources.
With reference to the selection process, the principle of equal opportunities is enshrined in the Webuild procedure "Planning, Selection and Acquisition of Human Resources", which expressly states that Webuild "[...] guarantees and promotes equal opportunities in access to employment, excluding any form of discrimination and giving adequate evidence of the criteria and methods adopted in the process of selecting and acquiring human resources [...]".
Notably, in 2025, the "inclusion-oriented selection processes" programme continued, in turn consisting of three sub-programmes, which respectively envisage the presentation of diversity-oriented shortlists (when possible), the assessment of the Working for Inclusion competence described in the Group Leadership Model and the presentation of blind CVs to the Managers involved in the selection, to exclude possible involuntary discrimination at the candidate evaluation stage.
3. Training and development.
With reference to the training process, the principle of equal opportunities is enshrined in the Webuild procedure Management of training, which expressly states that Webuild “[...] guarantees and promotes equal opportunities in the access to training, excluding any form of discrimination and giving adequate evidence of the criteria and methods adopted in the training process [...]”.
In regard to training and development, the Group promotes specific initiatives to monitor the issues of diversity and inclusion.
In 2025, Webuild continued to be a member of Valore D, the Italian association that promotes gender balance and the culture of inclusion, with activities both of training and of communication and networking. The membership has allowed the Company to participate in many training initiatives, including:
- mentoring programmes to support managerial growth and strengthen the culture of inclusion;
- workshops, labs and training courses aimed at strengthening soft skills, also with a view to supporting the development of leadership skills.
In order to raise awareness of issues related to gender equality, in 2025 Webuild continued its communication and awareness-raising activities, which aim to explore issues related to diversity and gender equality through articles, videos and community-based initiatives.
The promotion of equal opportunities and a culture oriented towards inclusion and the leveraging of diversity continued, also by providing specific training courses on these issues, through the Group's E-Learning platform.
Initiatives dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and support for female leadership have also been implemented abroad. These include the "Elevate" program of the subsidiary Clough dedicated to the development and managerial growth of 5 key female talents.

The Group's commitment to strengthening a culture of Diversity and Inclusion finally materialised with the continued maintenance, by Webuild S.p.A., of the Certification for Gender Equality pursuant to the UNI PDR 125:2022 standard and of the Certification pursuant to the "ISO 30415: Diversity and Inclusion" standard, which confirms the efforts made by the organisation in the field of human resource management with the an orientation and development of business processes characterised by greater inclusiveness and sustainability.
Maximum number of positions held in other companies.
The Company defined Guidelines on the maximum number of positions that can be held by the directors in the administration and control bodies of other "companies of a significant size"¹⁵ and the related methods for calculating the same¹⁶.
The Guideline provides as follows:
| Maximum
number of
positions | 4 positions, with regard to Executive Directors |
| --- | --- |
| | 6 positions, with regard to Non-Executive Directors who are members of the Executive Committee (if set up) |
| | 8 positions, with regard to Non-Executive Directors who are not members of the Executive Committee (if set up) |
The Board will be able to grant derogation, even temporary, on the aforementioned maximum number of positions, duly motivating the derogation and disclosing it in the Report.
At the date of this Report, none of the current Directors had exceeded the aforementioned limits; during the Year, or subsequently, until the date of this Report, the Board was never asked to grant derogations on the maximum number of positions.
4.4 Operations of the Board of Directors (pursuant to art. 123-bis, par. 2, letter d) of the Consolidated Finance Act).

Comments or those whose recording is expressly requested; c) the explanations of votes of the Board members. A draft of the relevant minutes is then made available to all Directors and Statutory Auditors for comments, if any, collected by the Secretary of the Board. The final text of the minutes is drawn up by the Secretary, submitted for the approval of the Chairman and, therefore, of the Board of Directors (as a rule, during the meeting immediately after the meeting that the minutes refer to) and entered in the appropriate company book and filed at the registered office. The part of the minutes that concern the resolutions adopted that require immediate execution can be certified and excerpted by the Chairman and the Secretary, even before the verification process of the entire minutes is completed.
Managing the pre-meeting information to directors.
The supporting documentation to be prepared based on an executive summary for each item on the agenda containing: (i) a summary of the topic under discussion, (ii) the draft of the resolution proposal to be adopted and (iii) the list of the reference documentation. The documentation in preparation for the work of the board is made available to each Director and Statutory Auditor by the third day before the day set for the meeting.
Confidentiality of the documentation concerning the activities carried out by the Board of Directors and the Board Committees, is ensured through the use of an IT platform, in which the preparatory documents for the discussion are placed. This platform, accessible only by personal credentials, ensures advanced technical controls for the best use of the content included in the portal and, at the same time, protection of the confidentiality of the documents and the information contained therein. The Regulation of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees does not envisage confidentiality as an exemption for exceeding the pre-board report terms indicated above.
The key figures of the pre-meeting information for the Year are provided below.
PRE-MEETING INFORMATION FOR 2025
| no. of BoD meetings | no. of preparatory documents for the resolutions to be passed | time frame of making the documents available with respect to the date of the meeting |
|---|---|---|
| 9 ordinary meetings | ||
| (call notice: 6 days) | 180 | 93% of cases: compliance with the 3-day deadline laid down in the Regulation |
The cases, however circumscribed, of delay with respect to the notice provided for in the Regulation of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees were due to the following reasons (i) the need to await the conclusion of the preliminary investigation by the competent Board Committees; (ii) the need to await the definition of the contents of the documents, also with the support of consultants, so that the information provided could be as up-to-date, correct and complete as possible thus avoid information inefficiencies through the possible overlapping/succession of potentially incomplete or discordant information.
In such cases, the Chairman of the Board of Directors (and the Chairmen of the Internal Board Committees in the relevant meetings) made sure that, at the meeting, the documentation received beyond the deadline was examined in detail with all the necessary details and that all questions raised in relation to it were answered, thus declaring the discussion closed only after ascertaining the comprehensiveness of the preliminary investigation carried out.
No critical issue emerged from the results of the 2025 Board Evaluation with regard to pre-board report and there was a broad appreciation for the timeliness and quality of the documentation made available.

4.7. Independent Directors and Lead Independent Director.
The regular evaluation of the requirements of independence of the Directors is carried out by the Board of Directors after a preliminary investigation by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee – acting as Appointment Committee.
For the purposes of coming into line with Recc. 7, letters c) and d) of the CG Code, lastly on 22 February 2024, the Board of Directors, in view of its renewal, approved the following quantitative and qualitative criteria for the assessment of the independence of its directors.
| CG CODE | SIGNIFICANCE |
|---|---|
| Recc. 7, letter c) | |
| Business, financial or professional relations | total value higher than: |
| (i) 7% of the turnover of the legal entity, organisation or professional practice, in which the director has control or is a significant representative or partner; or | |
| (ii) 7% of the annual income of the director as natural person or of the annual turnover generated directly by the director as part of the activities carried out at the legal entity, organisation or professional practice, in which the director has control or is a significant representative or partner. | |
| Recc. 7, letter d) | |
| Additional remuneration | exceeding € 250,000.00 per year^{17} |
At the date of this Report:
(i) 11 (eleven) of the 15 (fifteen) directors in office (therefore above the minimum threshold of 1/3 referred to in Recc. 5 of the CG Code for large companies with concentrated ownership) meet the independence requirements, pursuant to the aforementioned Recc. 7 of the CG Code and the significance criteria identified by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2021 and confirmed on 22 February 2024.
Specifically, as verified, immediately after the appointment, on 24 April 2024, by the Board of Directors (with the related Press Release issued on the same day) and, more recently, on 12 February 2026, as part of the annual verification of the ongoing validity of the statements, the following are classified as independent directors:
- the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Gian Luca Gregori, having already been qualified as independent at the time of applying for the renewal of the Board of Directors and in the absence of circumstances that are such as to compromise his independence (referred to in the Recc. 7 of the CG Code);
- Directors Francesco Umile Chiappetta, Davide Croff, Moroello Diaz della Vittoria Pallavicini, Paola Fandella, Flavia Mazzarella, Itzik Michael Meghnagi, Teresa Naddeo, Serena Torielli, Michele Valensise and Laura Zanetti, having regard to the information provided by the same.
In particular, the Board acquired, without making remarks, the declaration of independence expressed by Director Teresa Naddeo, who specified that she had held the position of Standing Auditor in Webuild S.p.A. from 30 April 2014 to 4 May 2020 (and, therefore, for 6 years) and that she had subsequently taken on the role of Director in Webuild from 30 April 2021 (and, therefore, for 3 years), in addition to having held the role of Non-Executive Director in a subsidiary from 4 May 2020 to 30 April 2021.
Given the above, also taking into account the reference regulations and, in particular, Recommendation 7 letter e) of the Code of Corporate Governance which, for the purposes of assessing the independence of directors, explicitly mentions the sole role of “director of the company for more than nine years, including non-consecutive ones, in the last 12 years”, Director Teresa Naddeo declared that she had kept intact her characteristics of independence and freedom of judgment, also in the role of Chairman of the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee of the
17 Maximum threshold envisaged by Webuild’s Procedure for Related Party Transactions for the qualification, in terms of Transactions involving a Small Amount, of transactions carried out with executives with key management personnel and their close relatives.

Company and, therefore, that she has adopted a criterion of substance as well as form in the assessment of her independence.
(ii) 13 (thirteen) of the 15 (fifteen) directors in office (therefore exceeding the minimum threshold of two directors required under Article 147-ter, paragraph 4, of the TUF) also meet the independence requirements pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, letters b) and c), of the TUF. Specifically, the Board of Directors, most recently on 12 February 2026, verified—on the basis of the information provided by them—that, in addition to the Directors referred to in item (i) above, Directors Lorenzo lucci and Francesca Fonzi also qualify as independent directors pursuant to the TUF.
According to the outcome of the Board Evaluation, the number of the Independent Directors and their expertise are adequate to the requirements of the company and to the operation of the Board, as well as to the set-up of the Board committees (Recc. 5 of the CG Code), also taking into account the provisions of art. 16 Consob Market Regulation (which apply to the Company as this is subject to management and coordination by another company, as reported in the Section 2).
The Board of Statutory Auditors, as part of the tasks assigned to it by law, last on 26 February 2026, checked the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board to evaluate the independence by its members.
In relation to Recc. 5 of the CG Code, a meeting of the Independent Directors was held in December 2025 to share, in particular, their opinions on the operations of the Board of Directors and on the role of the independent directors. The meeting was coordinated by an Independent Director, chosen by the other attendees. Neither the Chairman nor non-independent directors attended this meeting.
The Independent Directors have not assumed, in the lists for the appointment of the Board, the obligation to maintain their independence throughout their term office and, if necessary, to resign.
Lead Independent Director.
As the requirements of Recc. 13 of the CG Code have not been met and the majority of the directors did not request it, the Board did not choose an independent director as lead independent director.

5. MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY INFORMATION
Pursuant to Recc. 1 letter f) of the CG Code, to ensure the correct management of company information, the company has adopted a specific Procedure for the management of significant and Privileged Information and the associated Registers, lastly revised on 21 December 2023. The Procedure, in particular, sets out the general principles in regard to: (i) the definition of subjects involved in the process and identification and rating of the privileged information as well as the implementation of the Procedure; (ii) identification and management of the specific significant and privileged information; (iii) management and maintenance of significant and privileged information registers; (iv) protection of the confidentiality of significant and privileged information; (v) external communication of documents and significant and privileged information; (vi) implementation of the procedure of delay in communicating privileged information.
Said Procedure is addressed and applies to all those who, due to their work, profession or the functions performed, have access to significant and privileged information concerning the Issuer. In particular, the addressees of the procedure are Webuild's directors, statutory auditors, managers, and employees, as well as all other persons carrying out their work and/or conducting their professional activities in favour of the Company.
This Procedure also provides specific behavioural obligations for the employees of Webuild, in order to ensure the confidentiality of privileged information potentially obtained, as well as a confidentiality obligation for directors and statutory auditors of Webuild, relating to information and documents acquired by carrying out their tasks, as well as, more generally speaking, the contents of discussions held during the meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees and the activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Procedure also provides for the Corporate & Finance General Director to hold the responsibility for the taking of decisions on the identification of the specific significant and privileged information, as well as, after having consulted the Chief Executive Officer, the definition of the timing of publication of the specific privileged information, and the possible activation of the delay procedure (without prejudice to the fact that, in some cases, this decision may be taken directly by the Board of Directors, if it concerns an action within the competence of that body and it complies with the time limits provided by the applicable laws).
The Procedure provides for penalties to be applied to the parties that violate its provisions.
To ensure transparency to the market about significant transactions concerning the purchase, sale, subscription and exchange of Webuild's ordinary and saving shares, or of financial instruments related to these, carried out – directly or indirectly – by people in possession of important decision-making powers in the business domain and who have access to privileged information ("significant parties"), the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted, since March 2006, a Code of Conduct relating to Internal Dealing ("Code of Conduct"), most recently amended on 27 May 2024.
The current Code of Conduct also envisages a Blackout Period (a period during which no transactions involving Webuild's ordinary and savings shares, or on any financial instruments connected to these, may be performed by significant parties, with a few expressly provided exceptions), lasting 30 calendar days before the communication to the market of the approval by the administrative body, of the draft annual financial statements, the half-yearly report, and of other regular financial reports that must be published in compliance with the applicable law and regulations in force at the time.
On the Website in the Governance – Documents Section are available:
(i) the Procedure for the Management of Relevant and Privileged Information and the Associated Registers;
(ii) the Internal Dealing Code of Conduct.
The communications concerning the transactions regulated by the Code of Conduct are available on the Website in the Governance – Internal Dealing Section.

(i) committees established pursuant to the Code of Corporate Governance, with preliminary, propositional and advisory functions (Principle XI and Recc. 16 of the CG Code):

- Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee (Section 9.2);
(ii) committees provided for by the laws and regulations:

The Board of Directors has specified the composition of the Committees giving priority to the skills and experience of their members (Recc. 17 of the CG Code) and avoiding, as far as possible, an excessive concentration of mandates.
Each Committee is governed by specific rules of operation, which are set out in the Regulation of the Board of Directors and Board Committees, also with regard to minutes and supporting documentation for the work of the Committees.
In particular, the minutes follow the same criteria applicable to the Board of Directors, as set out in Section 4.4 above.

The 2025 Board Evaluation did not show significant critical issues with regard to the provision of timely and adequate information provided to support the work of the Committees.
The composition of the committees of Webuild, as company subject to management and coordination by Salini Costruttori (see Section 2 above) complies with the provisions of art. 16, par. 1, letter d) of the Consob Market Regulation.
The decision to set up just one Committee to combine the appointment and remuneration functions, given the attainment of the underlying objectives is guaranteed, is based on organisational and efficiency requirements as the functions are complementary and is in line with the provisions of Recc. 16 of the CG Code.
The Board of Directors has not reserved to itself functions attributed by the CG Code to one or more of its committees.
The Company makes available to the Committees the financial resources necessary for the performance of their respective functions.

7. SELF-ASSESSMENT AND SUCCESSION OF THE DIRECTORS - APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE
The Board regularly assesses the effectiveness of its own activities and the contribution made by its individual components, through formal procedures of which it oversees the implementation (Principle XIV of the CG Code).
7.1 Self-assessment and succession of the Directors.
The Board of Directors, in the meeting of 18 December 2025, having preliminarily acknowledged the qualification of the Company, pursuant to the CG Code, as "large company" with "concentrated ownership" and, therefore, the non-applicability of the recommendation of the annual frequency of the board evaluation (Recc. 22 of the CG Code), after assessment by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, acting in its capacity as the Appointment Committee, has discussed the usefulness of the self-assessment, as instrument of analysis and monitoring of the composition and the good operation of the Board and approved the launch of the self-assessment process for 2025.
With regard to the relevant methods, the Board agreed to proceed with the 2025 Board Evaluation through the use of a self-assessment questionnaire prepared for this purpose by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and the support of the Corporate Affairs function.
The self-assessment questionnaire, divided into several Sections, included questions concerning the composition, size and operation of the Board of Directors and its Committees, taking also into account the role played by the Board in defining the strategies and monitoring the management performance and the suitability of the internal control and risk management system.
The Board has also given mandate to the Internal Audit Function to collect the assessments made and prepare a report to the Board of Directors on the outcome, adopting all appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality of the Directors' opinions.
The results of the Board Evaluation 2025 - also examined in light of the Recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee, published on 18 December 2025 - showed a substantial appreciation: (i) for the operation of the Board and the Board Committees, although there remains some margin for improvement to be taken into account in future governance activities; (ii) for the current qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the Board, in terms of composition, expertise, professionalism, experience in the sector, commitment, both in terms of time and energy.
The Board also ensures, to the extent of its competence, that the process adopted for the appointment and succession of the Directors is transparent and able to ensure the optimal composition of the administrative body (Principle XIII of the CG Code).
In this regard, the Board specified a succession plan for the chief executive officer and the executive directors that identifies the procedure to be followed in the event of early termination, and verified the presence of satisfactory procedures for the succession of top management (Recc. 24 of the CG Code). With respect to Recc. 19 letter e) of the CG Code, the Board of Directors approved a Succession Plan for the Executive Director ("Plan"), based also on the proposals made in this regard by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee.
SUCCESSION PLAN IN FORCE AT THE DATE OF THIS REPORT
| Recipient | The Chief Executive Officer as sole Executive Director of the Issuer. |

| Approval | First adoption: Board of Directors of 19 March 2014 |
| Last updated: Board of Directors on 25 March 2022, after the Remuneration and Appointment Committee's preliminary investigation. |

The sources and principles underlying the Company's ICRMS consist of the CG Code, Webuild's Code of Ethics (containing the standards of conduct, ethical and basic values that the Group adopts to pursue its objectives); the Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01; the administrative, accounting and operational procedures for preparing the Group's financial statements pursuant to Italian Law 262/05; the Anti-Corruption Model; the Business Plan; additional internal regulations, i.e. the set of corporate documents defining roles and responsibilities within the organisation, including the assignment of responsibilities for managing company risks, including, by way of a non-exhaustive example, Organisation Charts, Organisational Communications and Memos; the 'Corporate – Financial and Sustainability Disclosure' Guideline $^{19}$ ; the Framework, Inter-functional and Operational Procedures; the power and proxy system, structured to award authorisation and signatory powers consistent with the organisational and management responsibilities assigned; and, finally, best practices.
Monitoring of the operation of the ICRMS is assigned to the Internal Audit Function. The Board of Directors approves, at least once every year, the Audit Plan prepared by the Head of the Internal Audit Function, after preliminary investigation by the Control Committee and having consulted the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Upon approval of the draft financial statements, the Control Committee, following its review of the reports drawn up by the Head of the Internal Audit Function, by the Head of the Compliance Function, by the Supervisory Body, by the Manager in Charge of Financial Reporting and the Chief Executive Officer and the flow of information between them, with the Board of Statutory Auditors and with the Independent Auditors, expressed its favourable opinion regarding the current suitability of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure and the ICRMS of Webuild and of its subsidiaries with strategic relevance, in light of the main company risks.
This assessment was adopted by the Board of Directors on 13 March 2025, as regards the Year, and on 11 March 2026, as regards the current year.
I Description of the main characteristics of the risk management system.
After approving the business and strategic plan, setting out the Management Team's Strategic Objectives, the Board of Directors defines the nature and level of risk compatible with the Company's strategic objectives, including in its assessments all elements that could be significant in terms of the sustainable success of the Company, in line with Recc. 1, letter c) of the CG Code. This process, described in the following paragraphs, received preliminary support from the Control Committee.
I.1 Risk Management.
In 2015, the Issuer launched a project for the development and implementation of a Risk Management Model able to address and manage risks in accordance with the industry's best practices. The Model is continuously evolving in terms of the approach, methodologies and instruments, as well as extending to all Group operational units.
As part of this project, the Risk Management unit has been set up, a "second level" control function that is independent from the other Business and Corporate functions.
The Risk Management function, in particular, carries out the following activities.
Activities carried out by the Risk Management function
- identification and monitoring, in consultation with the management (Risk Owners) and in support of the Chief Executive Officer, of the risk factors of significance for the Group, ensuring the implementation of risk mapping and assessment and monitoring of mitigation actions taken by Risk Owners
- support in strategic and commercial planning, submitting proposals on the corresponding guidelines and the company's risk appetite to the Corporate Bodies
- support in operations, with the aim of achieving the strategic goals defined in the Business Plan
$^{19}$ The 'Corporate – Financial and Sustainability Disclosure' Guideline $^{19}$ was approved by the Board of Directors on 18 December 2025, replacing the previous 'Webuild Group Guidelines on the design of administrative-accounting processes pursuant to Law 262/05', approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2021.

Activities carried out by the Risk Management function
✓ assurance of the suitability and consistency of the Risk Management framework adopted by developing and updating as needed the risk model and the methodologies and tools to provide effective risk management
✓ support in creating and disseminating a risk culture throughout the Group
In line with the most modern practice and the guidelines issued by the main reference international organisations in the risk area (COSO, WBCSD, ISO 31000, etc.), the Group has acquired an integrated risk management system able of detecting and managing, on a regular basis, the main risks to which the Group is exposed, carrying out an analysis at both the individual (i.e. at the level of individual Country, Counterparty, Contract) and the portfolio level, with a view to assess the risk profile assumed with respect to the risk limits set at an overall level, adopting a proactive, and non-reactive approach, which would allow to promptly manage future dangers and to seize opportunities.
In particular, confirming the adoption of international best practices and high market standards in terms of risk control and management, it should be noted that since 2021 the company has obtained from an external certification company the independent assessment statement that the adopted Risk Management Framework is planned, designed, implemented and continuously improved in accordance with ISO 31000: 2018.
The activity focuses on the identification and categorisation of the risks with a potential impact on business and on the development of methods and tools aimed at managing the dimensions of the identified risk, with a particular emphasis on risks connected with the Counterparts and the Country context within which the Issuer conducts its own business.
1.2 Risk Assessment
The Issuer, as part of the regular Risk Management process, carried out also in 2025 a Risk Assessment activity aimed at identifying and assessing risks that might impact the Group's operations and, therefore, jeopardise the attainment of Business Plan targets, including the Subsidiaries.
The Risk Management Function assessed, in terms of impact and likelihood of risk, the level of exposure to a potentially negative event, in regard to the achievement of strategic and business targets.
The Risk Assessment activity was carried out according to these phases:
PHASES OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
| Definition of the method and approach | The method defined for the Group’s Risk Assessment system requires the area in which to map and analyse potential risk events, consistently with the Risk Universe adopted, is Group processes. In line with the sector’s best practices, Assessment Scales were defined which are consistent with the Strategic Plan’s targets in order to provide an indication on the potential impact and probability of each identified event. |
|---|---|
| Identification of risks | Risks are identified through meetings conducted with all Function representatives. In particular, the critical elements identified in processes, also by means of a comparison with currently adopted policies and procedures, were analysed in detail, explaining the causes and potential consequences in particular. |
| Risk analysis | Risks were assessed consistently with the methods identified and in agreement with the representatives of each Function, also considering the level of protection guaranteed by the existing Control System. |
| Prioritisation of risks | The risks identified and analysed have been ranked in priority order and shared with the Board of Directors and with the Control Committee, with the Top Management and with the Control Functions, in order to address the subsequent management and mitigation activities. The results of the Group Risk Assessment, in terms of risk events, main generating causes and possible mitigating actions, are addressed (i) to the Board of Directors, to the Control Committee and to the Top Management, in order to give priority to Top Risks and address the interventions; and (ii) to the Control Functions, in order to support and structure the respective Intervention Plans. |

PHASES OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
Treatment and monitoring of risks
The Risk Treatment phase is aimed at managing identified risks, identifying the best mitigation strategies or evaluating alternative management strategies, consistently with their priority level. This phase identifies the actions required for reducing the Group's exposure to risks and its gradual implementation is monitored.
Within the Group's organisation and the provisions of the ICRMS there are various company Bodies and Functions dedicated to the verification of the System's effective operation.
In particular, the Group Risk Officer, according to the global vision of the corporate risk profiles, supports the Risk Owners in preparing the most appropriate Risk management strategy and in proposing any necessary additional Risk Management actions to implement to execute said strategy. Moreover, the Group Risk Officer coordinates monitoring activities and the Group's overall exposure.
I.3 Main characteristics of the risk management system in regard to the financial reporting process, pursuant to art. 123-bis, par. 2, letter b) of the Consolidated Finance Act.
The ICRMS applied to the financial reporting process aims to guarantee credibility, precision, reliability and promptness of said financial reporting. Planning, implementation, monitoring and the updating in time of the system, have been carried out by Webuild according to the Guidelines which take their inspiration from frameworks and international best practices and are dedicated to managing financial reporting.
These Guidelines have been designed specifically to conform to the Issuer's characteristics and its operating units that contribute to the creation of financial reports, both separated (the parent's and consolidated). Account was taken of the fact that the Group is composed of entities that are separate in legal terms from the parent for the purposes of the financial reporting referred to herein. The Group in fact consists of both legally separate entities (e.g. Italian and foreign stock companies) as well as entities that, although not legally separate from the parent under Italian law (e.g. foreign permanent establishments), have their own administrative and organisational structures and produce their financial reporting independently, due to the characteristics of the activities performed.
Within the scope of this classification, the ICRMS is based on the dissemination of the application procedures, the training of the personnel involved in the different stages of the process and a monitoring plan, based on the provisions of Italian Law 262/05, whereby the effective use of the application procedures is checked and any developments and additions necessary due to the wide-ranging operating scope in which the Group operates are identified.
The monitoring plan is developed according to a risk-based approach comparable to that applied for the definition of the Audit Plan prepared by the Head of the Internal Audit Function. The Manager in Charge of Financial Reporting has assigned a specific mandate to the Internal Audit Function to carry out audits on the financial reporting process.
I.4 Main risks to which the Issuer is exposed
The Risk Assessment, updated and integrated on a cyclical basis, has been carried out with the involvement of the company's management and made it possible to identify the most sensitive risk factors based on the Group's business activities and on the specific internal and external context in which the Group itself operates, as described below.
MAIN RISKS TO WHICH WEBUILD IS EXPOSED
Business-related risks
External risks that could compromise the attainment of the Company's targets, or all those events that cannot be influenced by company decisions. Risks deriving from a country's macro-economic and socio-political trends, from industry trends and from the competitive scenario, as well as technological innovation and regulations that characterise the industry.
Due to these risks, the Group must rely on its forecasting and managing capacities. In particular, the Issuer integrated risk management within its planning and business processes, by defining commercial and risk guidelines and the structuring of a process aimed at prioritising and selecting initiatives to launch, also and especially on the basis of the evaluation of risks connected to the Country and/or sector in which it intends to operate, rather than the counterpart. The
Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership

CERTIFIED
MAIN RISKS TO WHICH WEBUILD IS EXPOSED
control of these risks is also guaranteed by monitoring the progress status of the strategic targets, also in terms of the composition and diversification of the order backlog and its gradual developments in terms of risk profile.
Strategic Risks
Risks deriving from strategic, business and organisational decisions that can jeopardise Group performance and that could lead to a situation whereby strategic targets are not met. These include risks that derive from the choice of a certain type of business or organisational model through which the Group intends to operate, those deriving from M&A operations, from non-effective order backlog management or relating to relations with the main counterparts (clients, partners, suppliers, sub-contractors, etc.).
The Issuer considers risk to be an essential element for the preliminary assessment of strategic decisions and choices to be taken. It has therefore decided to integrate the process of definition and development of strategies with the risk identification, measurement and management process. Choices concerning the adoption of a business or organisational model, the assessment of whether to go ahead with an extraordinary transaction, rather than establish a relationship with a partner, are subject to preliminary analysis and evaluation of the connected risks/opportunities, at the same time identifying risk strategies and management methods to quickly employ should said risk materialise.
Financial risks
These incorporate risks connected to the Group’s equity availability, influenced by credit and cash management and/or by the volatility of market variables, such as interest and exchange rates.
In particular, cash management pursues the objective of financial independence of the projects that are being carried out, keeping the configuration of consortia and special-purpose entities in mind, which can restrict the availability of financial resources for the implementation of the relevant projects. Moreover, when managing cash, account is taken of the existence of restrictions concerning monetary transfers set by the rules and regulations of certain Countries.
The Issuer also considers specific risk areas like the credit standing of the counterpart, the volatility of raw materials prices and the management of the insurance aspects, and also considers it essential to employ effective financial planning tools.
Legal and compliance risks
Falling into this category are risks connected to legal matters or that derive from compliance with rules or regulations (e.g. fiscal, local regulatory matters, etc.) that is required to operate in the sector and/or in particular countries and risks related to the contractual management with Business Partners. For Webuild, monitoring of contractual matters linked to project management activities and, in particular, relationships with significant counterparts is fundamental. In this category there are also risks connected to fraud, both internal and external, and more generally, compliance with procedures and policies defined by the Company to regulate the operation of its structure.
For this purpose, the Issuer adopts a policy for monitoring and managing regulatory risks, in order to mitigate their effects as much as possible, through multi-level monitoring activity that envisages continuous collaboration and communication with significant counterparts and business units concerned by regulatory developments, and in order to fully evaluate their potential impact.
Operating risks
Operating risks include risks that could jeopardise value creation and that are due to inefficient and/or ineffective management of the typical company operations, particularly those connected to bid management and the genuine execution of the projects. The various risk activities that fall under this category include: bid design and planning, the effective management of the supply chain, warehouse logistics and management, risks connected to managing information systems, personnel and planning and reporting.
These risks occur when, during the bidding process and/or during project implementation, Company policies or procedures are not adequate for managing risk factors arising from the project’s level of complexity or following unmeasurable events.
To that end, the Group intends to monitor these risks from the phase of analysis of the commercial initiative to pursue (bidding) with a view to the risk-return evaluation of the project should the tender be won, and the impact of this bid on the order backlog, both in terms of concentration and overall risk profile. At this

MAIN RISKS TO WHICH WEBUILD IS EXPOSED
juncture, the Issuer, among the other assessments, drafts a pre-Bid Risk Assessment aimed at identifying potential risks and consequent impacts connected to the project, as well as identifying the necessary mitigating and/or contingency actions for coverage purposes. The risk assessment is then carried out once again when the tender is won and then monitored while the project is being executed, in order to promptly identify the development of any risk exposure and quickly adopt the appropriate mitigating actions.
9.1. Chief Executive Officer.
Pursuant to Recc. 32, letter b) of the CG Code, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting up and maintaining the ICRMS of the Company. Therefore, the Chief Executive Officer, during the Year, carried out the following activities:

| Internal Control and Risk Management System Guidelines approved by the Company | They supervised the implementation of the Guidelines of the ICRMS, ensuring that this would be an integral part of the Group's operations and culture, implementing suitable disclosure, communication and training processes and promoting the adoption of remuneration and sanction systems able to encourage correct management of risk and discourage behaviour conflicting with the principles dictated by such processes. |
| They ensured that the ICRMS was able of promptly responding to situations of significant risk arising both within the Group and from changes in the environment where the Group operates. |
During the year, no problems and critical issues were observed in the performance of the Chief Executive Officer's activity or of which the latter had in any case been informed, of such significance to require promptly reporting to the Control Committee (Recc. 34, letter d of the CG Code).
In this regard, the Chief Executive Officer issued a specific certification, for the purposes of the assessments by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and by the Board of Directors, concerning the adequacy, effectiveness and proper functioning of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) in relation to the structure, size and nature of the Company's activities.

Since 29 January 2003, the Company has adopted the "Organisation, Management and Control Model" envisaged by art. 6 of Italian Legislative Decree 231/01, inspired by the Confindustria guidelines approved on 7 March 2002 and updated over the years. The Model, after the first-time adoption, has been constantly updated due to the changes concerning the crimes to be included, but also as a result of the changes in the Company organisation that have occurred in the meantime, the update of the "Areas of activities at risk" and in compliance with the evolution of best practices promoted by Confindustria and by Associazione Nazionale Costruttori Edili (ANCE).

Its current version, approved by the Board of Directors of Webuild on 12 February 2026, can be found, as regards the General Part, on the Website, in the Governance - Ethics Integrity Compliance - Model 231 and Supervisory Body Section.

Currently, the composition of the Supervisory Body provides for one member to be chosen within the Company, identified in the Senior Executive VP Internal Audit & Compliance Department, and two members to be chosen among experts from outside the Company, identified by their specific expertise in the legal field or in-depth knowledge of the construction sector and corporate organisation. The identification, as component of the Supervisory Body, of the Senior Executive VP Internal Audit & Compliance Department, allows the coordination among the different parties involved in the operation of the ICRMS (Recc. 33, letter e of the CG Code).
The term of office of the Supervisory Body provides for a three years mandate and therefore until approval by the Board of Directors of the half-yearly financial report at 30 June 2027.

Lane Industries Incorporated – the subsidiary of strategic relevance at the date of this Report - is a US company and, therefore, not subject to the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.
The Code of Ethics, the current version of which has been approved by the Webuild Board on 29 July 2021, is an integral part of the Model and is available on the Website in the Governance – Internal Control and Risk Management System - Code of Ethics Section.
9.5. Anti-Corruption Model.
In compliance with the Code of Ethics and in accordance with the tenth principle of the Global Compact based on which "companies undertake to fight all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery", Webuild's fight against Corruption is embodied in the Anti-corruption Compliance System.
To this end, on 16 June 2014, the Company implemented the Anti-Corruption Compliance System, which summarises the commitment to the principles introduced by the anti-corruption laws and by international Best Practices. The Model has been most recently updated and approved by the Board of Directors of Webuild on 12 February 2026. It provides a systematic reference framework of Anti-Corruption regulatory instruments and policies, which Webuild intends to pursue to prevent active and passive corruption, in particular, for offers or requests for money, advantages and/or other benefits, or payments, made or received, by anyone acting in the name or on behalf of the Company in relation to business activities,

ensuring compliance with anti-corruption legislation. The System thus intends to act as a guide in dealing with any risks of corruption that may arise during the course of business activities.
The system has undergone an analysis by an external Certifying Body and from July 2017, Webuild obtained the UNI ISO 37001:2016 certification "Anti-Bribery Management System", which complies with the highest international standards for the prevention of corruption and transparent business management.
The Anti-Corruption Compliance System is based on the Anti-Corruption Model and the supporting operating procedures defining roles and responsibilities of subjects involved in the management of processes at risk of corruption as well as the relative control systems. In order to ensure assistance and consultation on matters of Anti-Corruption, the Webuild Compliance Function is responsible for giving specific information and explaining issues concerning the Model and Anti-Corruption Laws of Italy or of the Countries in which the Group operates.
The Company has also adopted a Whistleblowing platform, in line with the provisions of Italian Law 179/2017, EU Directive 1937/2019 and Italian Legislative Decree 24/2023, which allows employees, contractors, consultants, suppliers and any other third party involved with Webuild to submit, even anonymously, reports of alleged or known violations of applicable laws or regulations, of the Code of Ethics, of the Anti-Corruption Model and/or of the Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01. The scope of application of the Anti-Corruption Compliance System refers to Webuild, which promotes its adoption by the companies or entities (consortia, joint ventures, etc.) the company is part of.
The current Anti-Corruption Model of the Company is published on the Website in the Governance – Internal Control and Risk Management - Anti-corruption System Section.

This auditor is also responsible for certifying the compliance of the Company's Consolidated Sustainability Report with the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree 125/24.

On 18 December 2025, the Board of Directors approved the ‘Corporate – Financial and Sustainability Disclosure’ Guideline, which replaced the previous ‘Webuild Group Guidelines on the design of administrative-accounting processes pursuant to Law 262/05’. Compared to the previous version, the document introduced control safeguards and a Sustainability-related Risk Control Matrix (RCM) following the entry into force of the Sustainability Decree, and provided for alignment with the new procedures issued that have an impact on administrative-accounting controls and on the Control Environment of the Parent Company.
The Manager in Charge of Financial Reporting assigned a specific Mandate to the Internal Audit & Compliance Department to carry out tests on the suitability of the administrative/accounting procedures. In addition, a specific Mandate was granted to the same Department for the purpose of issuing the certification of the Manager in Charge of Financial Reporting on the compliance of the Consolidated Sustainability Report with the reference regulations.
The Board, lastly on 11 March 2026, expressed its positive opinion on the suitability of the powers and means of the Manager in charge of financial reporting as well as on the actual compliance with the administrative and accounting procedures set up by the latter.
As for the other roles and corporate functions involved in the controls, we refer to Section 9 above.
In the light of the current organisational structure of the Risk Management and Compliance functions, both in terms of hierarchical/functional reporting and in terms of the number of resources and relative professionalism and skills, also in the light of the statements made by the heads of the respective functions, the Board of Directors did not deem it necessary to take measures to ensure the effectiveness, efficiency and impartiality of these functions in the performance of their respective duties. (Recc. 33, letter d of the CG Code).
9.8. Cooperation between parties involved in the operation of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
To maximise the efficiency of the ICRMS and reduce duplication of activities, the Board of Directors, as reported in Section 9.1 above, approved, most recently on 13 March 2025, the Guidelines of the ICRMS, which provide for timely methods to coordinate and exchange information among those involved in the operation of this system.

The meetings may also be attended by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, managers, consultants, and independent auditors as well as any other party whose presence is considered by the Committee to be suitable for the specific items to be discussed. This has also the purpose to allow, in particular, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Control Committee to exchange in a timely manner the information relevant to the performance of their tasks.
- The Senior Executive VP Internal Audit Function submits regular reports on the activities performed to the Control Committee, so that the latter may inform the Board.
- The Senior Executive VP Internal Audit Function transmits promptly and, normally, at the same time, to the Risk Owners and others involved in the operation of the ICRMS (including the Control Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors), the reports prepared at the end of the audit to allow these parties to promptly take the necessary actions within their competence to manage the risks identified.
- The Senior Executive VP of the Internal Audit Function and the Group Risk Officer liaise with each other for the execution of the audits, also by sharing work plans and information, taking into account the existing complementarities.

Diversity Policies in the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Without prejudice to the content of Section 4.3 regarding the Diversity Policies for the board members, with regard to the methods for defining the Diversity Policies in the formation of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Company follows the following method:
- verification and self-assessment by the Board of Statutory Auditors on its own composition and operation, considering the aspects significant for gender, age and educational and professional background diversity;
- discussion of the results of this self-assessment with the Board of Directors;
- assessment by the Board of Directors of the need to adopt specific policies, based on the report submitted by the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Gender diversity.
The composition of the Board of Standing Statutory Auditors of the Company, at the date of this Report, complies with the current legal provisions with regard to gender quotas of the Board of Statutory Auditors (Italian Law 160/2019).
The Company introduced in its Bylaws (art. 30) specific provisions aiming at ensuring a balanced representation of both genders in the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
At the time of renewal of said body, the Board of Directors also recommends to the Shareholders, in the directors' report on the items on the agenda, the submission of lists which take into account the provisions and indications on the matter of gender diversity.
In the light of the above and having taken into account the indications of the Board of Statutory Auditors within its self-assessment for the Year, no additional policies on gender diversity have been adopted.
Age diversity.
In regard to age diversity, taking into account the indications of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the context of its annual self-assessment - which did not report on age diversity - no specific policy has been adopted on the matter.
Educational and professional background diversity

15. CHANGES SINCE YEAR END

16. COMMENTS ON THE LETTER OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors, for the first time at the meeting of 12 February 2026, when examining the results of the self-assessment and, subsequently, in the meeting of 2 April 2026, examined the Recommendations contained in the letter of 18 December 2025 of the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., in order to identify possible developments in governance or to fill any gaps in the application or in the explanations provided. For this activity, the Board used the preliminary activities of the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee as well as the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, which have each examined the Recommendations, for the aspects within their competence.
The Recommendations were also reviewed by the Board of Statutory Auditors, as part of its participation in the meetings of the Committee and the Board of Directors in which this matter was addressed.
The considerations made by the Board of Directors are reported below, in relation to the aforementioned recommendations.
MEASURABILITY OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
Recommendation
"The Committee therefore invites listed companies to review their remuneration policies that will be submitted to shareholders' vote starting from 2026 in order to:
- verify whether provisions exist relating to possible extraordinary payments and/or possible end-of-office indemnities for executive directors;
- assess the adequacy of such provisions in light of the measurability principle recommended by the Code and, where the assessment is negative, supplement such provisions with maximum thresholds and clear reference parameters;
- in carrying out this analysis, take into account any explicit requests submitted on these matters by relevant investors on the occasion of the shareholders' vote on the policies and/or during extra-meeting engagement activities.
The Committee invites the administrative bodies to report on this review and on any initiatives undertaken to amend the remuneration policy in the next corporate governance report."
Controls/Solutions
The Company's Remuneration Policy provides for:
- without prejudice to the possibility of derogation provided for in paragraph 2.5 of the 2026 Remuneration Report, a detailed framework regarding the treatments applicable in the event of termination of office or termination of the employment relationship, with clear maximum limits (see paragraph 3.5 of the 2026 Remuneration Report);
- a framework governing the possibility of derogating — in the presence of exceptional circumstances — from the fixed and variable components (STI Plan and LTI Plan) of remuneration and, in particular, from the pay mix [...], and therefore allows for the possibility of granting extraordinary payments (see paragraph 2.5 of the 2026 Remuneration Report). In this respect, in order to fully recognise the contribution of Top Management in the event of truly extraordinary operations and performance by the Group — operating in a complex global context marked by rapid geo-political developments — the Company currently considers it appropriate to retain full flexibility in
67

CERTIFIED
determining the amount that may be granted as extraordinary bonuses. In any event, such awards, where exceptional and objective circumstances occur, remain subject to the governance process described in the above-mentioned paragraph 2.5.
DEVELOPMENT OF DIALOGUE WITH OTHER RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS
Raccomandazione
"The Committee therefore invites large companies to adopt, during the 2026 financial year, a dialogue policy with the other stakeholders relevant to the company (either combined with or separate from the policy addressed to shareholders at large). The policy:
- identifies the criteria for determining the categories of other stakeholders relevant to the company, defining appropriate methods for communicating with the recipients of the dialogue;
- identifies the corporate bodies and functions entrusted with managing the dialogue;
- identifies specific thematic areas of interest for the dialogue with the other stakeholders relevant to the company;
- assigns to the Chair of the administrative body the task of ensuring that the body itself is adequately informed about the development and the significant content of the dialogue conducted with the other stakeholders relevant to the company.
The Committee invites the administrative bodies to provide, in the next corporate governance report, information on the initiatives undertaken, and, in the corporate governance report to be published in 2027, adequate information on the policy and on the effective dialogue carried out with the other stakeholders relevant to the company, outlining the topics addressed in the dialogue and any initiatives undertaken by the company as a result."
Presidi/Soluzioni
In response to the different characteristics and needs of its other relevant stakeholders, the Company already adopts diversified and flexible dialogue and engagement practices, as further detailed on the Company's Website, Section 'Sustainability – Our Commitment – Stakeholder Engagement'.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company may consider, during the 2026 financial year, the formalisation of a specific policy in this regard.
The Board of Directors has also re-examined the previous Recommendations issued since 2020, as reported in Annex 2 of the Borsa Italiana Format, and has not deemed it necessary to introduce any further measures beyond those already implemented from time to time, nor to provide additional comments beyond the considerations previously expressed.
The Board of Statutory Auditors oversaw the examination, by the Board of Directors, of the above-mentioned recommendations.
