Unless otherwise defined in this press release, the capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them under the offer document concerning the Offer approved by Consob with resolution No. 23052 of 27 March 2024 and published on 5 April 2024 (the "Offer Document"), and the press release issued by the Offeror on 24 June 2024 in connection with the final results of the Sell-Out Procedure and the terms and conditions for the implementation of the Joint Procedure to exercise the Right to Purchase and to fulfil the Obligation to Purchase pursuant to Art. 108, paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (the "Press Release of 24 June"). The Offer Document, the Press Release of 24 June and any other press release issued by the Offeror in relation to the Offer are available, inter alia, on the Offeror's website.

Settlement of the Joint Procedure

The Offeror hereby announces that, on the date hereof, it has notified the Issuer that a sum equal to the Overall Consideration, amounting to Euro 219,878,959.17, has been deposited on a bank account opened in the name of the Offeror at Mediobanca - Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A. IBAN IT57M1063101600000070202515 and shall be used only for the payment of the consideration for the No. 86,737,262 shares of the Issuer, equal to approximately 3.065% of the share capital of the Issuer still outstanding (the "Additional Residual Shares").

Therefore, pursuant to Article 111, Paragraph 3, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the transfer of the Additional Residual Shares to the Offeror has become effective as from the notice of the deposit and, as a result, the Issuer will proceed with the subsequent entries in the shareholders' ledger.

The holders of the Additional Residual Shares will be entitled to receive the payment of the consideration of the Joint Procedure - equal to Euro 2.535 per each Additional Residual Share -

from their respective intermediaries. The obligation to pay the consideration for the Joint Procedure shall be deemed fulfilled when the relevant amounts are transferred to the intermediaries from which the Additional Residual Shares targeted by the Joint Procedure are transferred.

The holders of the Additional Residual Shares bear the entire risk that the Depositary Intermediaries fail to transfer the relevant amounts to the parties entitled thereto or delay such transfer.

In order to request the payment of the consideration for the Joint Procedure, the holders of the Additional Residual Shares that are not in dematerialised form must deliver the original share certificates duly registered in their name at the Issuer's registered office. The Issuer will verify the said share certificates and will issue to the interested shareholders a certificate with which the latter will be entitled to request the payment of the consideration for the Joint Procedure.

Once the five-year limitation period envisaged by Article 2949 of the Italian Civil Code has elapsed, without prejudice to the provisions of Articles 2941 and following of the Italian Civil Code, the right of the holders of the Additional Residual Shares to obtain the payment of the consideration for the Joint Procedure will terminate and the Offeror will be entitled to obtain the return of the amounts deposited as consideration for the Right to Purchase and not collected by those entitled.
