Dear Shareholders,

this report (the "Report") was prepared by the Board of Directors of WIIT S.p.A. ("WIT" or the "Company") in accordance with Article 125-terof Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998, as subsequently amended and supplemented (the "CFA") and Articles 73 and 84-ter of the Regulation adopted with Consob Resolution No. 1971 of May 14, 1999, as subsequently amended and supplemented (the "Issuers' Regulation"), to outline the fourth item on the Agenda of the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called for April 29, 2025, in single call:

Authorization of the purchase and disposal of treasury shares. 4.

Firstly, we note that on May 16, 2024, the Company's Shareholders' Meeting authorized the purchase, on a revolving basis and on one or more occasions, of ordinary shares of the Company, taking into account the shares held at any time in the portfolio by the Company, up to the maximum number allowed by law. The purchase must be within the limits of the distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the latest financial statements approved at the time each transaction is carried out.

****

On this basis, the Board of Directors submits for your approval - subject to revocation, for the portion not yet executed, of the authorization approved by the Shareholders' Meeting motion of May 16, 2024 - a new proposal for authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, to be carried out in compliance with applicable European and national regulations, including Regulation (EU) 596/2014, and market practices recognized as appropriate by Consob.

A. Reasons for the requested authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares

The main purpose of the authorization to purchase is to enable the Company to acquire a stock of treasury shares that it can use (i) for any extraordinary financial transactions and/or for other uses deemed to be of financial-management and/or strategic interest for the Company, including exchange, swapping, contribution or any other act that includes the use of treasury shares, and (ii) to service incentive plans based on financial instruments for employees and/or Directors and/or collaborators of Group companies.

Maximum number, category and nominal value of the shares to which the authorization B. refers

The Board of Directors requests that the Shareholders Meeting authorize a purchase and sale plan, on a revolving basis and on one or more occasions, of ordinary shares of the Company, taking into account the shares held at any time in the portfolio by the Company, up to the maximum number allowed by law (equal, at today's date, to 20% of the share capital). This purchase must be within the limits of the distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the latest financial statements approved at the time each transaction is carried out.

C. Useful information for a comprehensive review of compliance with the provision under Article 2357, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code

The subscribed and paid-up share capital of the Company amounts to Euro 2,802,066 and is represented by 28,020,660 ordinary shares with no indication of nominal value.

We note that pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code, the purchase of treasury shares is allowed within the limits of the distributable profits and available reserves resulting from the latest duly approved financial statements. Furthermore, pursuant to paragraph 3 of the same Article, under no circumstances may the nominal value of the shares purchased by companies that make use of the risk capital market exceed 20% of the Company's share capital.

We can therefore report that the treasury shares held by the Company at the date of this Report amount to 1,999,783 treasury shares, equal to 7.14% of WIT's share capital.

D. Duration of the requested authorization

Authorization is requested to purchase the Company's ordinary shares for a term of 18 months from the date of authorization, with the Board having the authority to proceed with the authorized transactions on one or more occasions and at any time, to such extent and at such times as it may determine in accordance with applicable law, and in such stages as it deems appropriate in the best interests of the Company.

With regard to the disposal of treasury shares, the authorization is requested without time limits and applies to the shares held pro tempore (including, for clarity, those purchased on the basis of previous authorizations).

E. Minimum and maximum fees

Authorization for the purchase is requested for each transaction, at a purchase price for each share that is not less than the official price of WIT stock on the day on which the purchase transaction will be made, less 15%, and not more than the official price on the day prior to the day on which the purchase transaction will be made, plus 15%, in compliance with applicable European and national regulations, including Regulation (EU) 596/2014, and market practices recognized, as relevant, by Consob.

With regards to the disposal of treasury shares, the authorization is requested at a price which must not be lower than the average of the official share price over the five days preceding each disposal, reduced up to a maximum of 15%. This limit will not apply in the event of a transfer to Directors, employees and/or collaborators of the Company and/or companies of the "WIT Group". If the treasury shares are exchanged, traded, contributed or any other act of disposal, the aforementioned limits will not apply and the economic terms of the transaction will be determined, always in the interest of the Company, on the basis of the nature and characteristics of the transaction, also taking into account the market trend of WIIT stock.

In case of disposal, exchange or contribution, the corresponding amount may be reused for further purchases, until the expiry of the term of the Meeting's authorization, without prejudice to the quantitative limit and the conditions mentioned above.

F. Manner by which the purchases and acts of disposal will be made

It is proposed that purchases be made, from time to time, by one of the methods set out in Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letters a), b), c), d), d-ter), and paragraph 1-bis, of the Issuers' Regulation, specifying that, pursuant to Article 132, paragraph 3, of the limits provided for by said Article 132 and its implementing provisions do not apply to purchases of treasury shares held by employees of the Company (or its subsidiaries) and allocated or subscribed to pursuant to Articles

2349 and 2441, paragraph 8, of the Civil Code or resulting from financial instrument-based remuneration plans approved pursuant to Article 114-bis of the CFA.

With reference to acts of disposal it is proposed that these acts may be carried out at any time, in whole or in part even before having exhausted the purchases, in the most appropriate manner for the interests of the Company on the regulated market or outside the market or in "blocks", in order to pursue the purposes set out in the proposed resolution and in compliance with the relevant pro tempore regulations in force.

G. Further information, where the purchase operation is instrumental to the reduction of the share capital through the cancellation of treasury shares acquired

We note that the purchase of treasury shares covered by this authorization request does not entail a reduction in share capital.
