Integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors

Filing of lists

Integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors is carried out pursuant to Article 22, paragraph 16, letter c), of the Articles of Association, to which explicit reference is made.

Lists for the integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors may only be submitted by Shareholders who, alone or with others, at the time of submitting the list, are in possession of a shareholding equal to at least 1% of the Company's share capital. Majority shareholders may not submit their own list. Each list, complete with the documentation required by aforementioned Article 22 of the Articles of Association and by the applicable legislative and regulatory provisions in force, must be filed at the Company's registered office or sent to the certified email address erg@legalmail.it by 1 April 2023; in the latter case, a copy of valid identification document of the individual submitting the relative list must be attached.

If, by this deadline, only one list has been submitted, or only lists presented by mutually connected shareholders pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations in force, further lists may be submitted by 4 April 2023. In this case, the 1% threshold previously indicated for the submitting of lists is reduced to 0.50%.

The identity and shareholding necessary to submit each list - determined with respect to the shares registered in favour of the shareholder on the day in which the relative list is submitted at, or sent to, the Company - must be certified by specific communication generated by the qualified intermediary, and it must be received by the Company by 5 April 2023, at the certified email address erg@pecserviziotitoli.it.

The lists of candidates for the office of Statutory Auditor, submitted by the Shareholders, will be made available to the public at the registered office of the Company in Genoa, Via De Marini 1, on the Company's website (www.erg.eu) in the "Corporate Governance/2023 Shareholders' Meeting" section, at Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and on the authorised storage platform eMarket Storage (www.emarketstorage.com) by 5 April 2023.

Other Shareholders' rights

Shareholders may propose questions on items in the agenda, even prior to the Shareholders' Meeting, according to the procedures indicated on the Company's website (www.erg.eu) in the "Corporate Governance/2023 Shareholders' Meeting" section. Questions received by 17 April 2023 will be answered by 21 April 2023 (early deadline with respect to 24 April 2023, envisaged by the current legislation) through publication in a specific section of the Company's website.

Shareholders who, even jointly, represent at least one fortieth of the share capital may request, by 27 March 2023, integration of the list of items to be discussed, indicating in the question the additional items proposed or presenting additional proposals for deliberation on items already in the agenda. Integration is not allowed for items on which the Shareholders' Meeting resolves, as per legislation, upon proposal by the administrative body or based on a project or report drawn up by it, other than those pursuant to Article 125-ter, paragraph 1, of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act.

The procedures and deadlines to exercise said rights are indicated on the Company's website (www.erg.eu) in the "Corporate Governance/2023 Shareholders' Meeting" section.

Such proposals, where relevant, will be published without delay on the Company's website, in order to allow those entitled to vote to do so in an informed manner, also taking into consideration such new proposals and allowing the Designated Representative to collect any voting instructions with respect to them. The procedures and deadlines to exercise said right are indicated on the Company's website (www.erg.eu) in the "Corporate Governance/2023 Shareholders' Meeting" section.
