ISSUER PROFILE
Mission
The Technogym Group is one of the leading groups in the international fitness equipment market in terms of sales volumes and market share. The Technogym Group offers wellness solutions, in particular for physical exercise (fitness), athletic training (sport) and physical rehabilitation therapy (personal health), addressed to the main segments of the fitness equipment market and more in general to the more broadly defined wellness sector. These solutions are characterised by technological innovations and attention in the design and functionality of products and services. The range of products offered by the Technogym Group includes equipment that has received very good reviews by final users and professionals - as well as several international awards for industrial design - and that over time has contributed to positioning the Technogym brand in the top market range at the international level.
On 3 May 2016, the ordinary shares of Technogym were admitted to trading on Euronext Milan - EXM (formerly Mercato Telematico Azionario) organised and managed by Borsa Italiana.
Sustainability issues have always been integrated in a natural and organic way into the Company's business model. For years, in fact, wellness philosophy has guided action, strategies and business processes, from product development to production and logistics, to marketing and communication activities, up to the workplace wellness project dedicated to all our collaborators in the world. In line with these principles, on 25 February 2021, the Board of Directors, on 25 February 2021 approved the Company's Sustainability Policy, available on the Company's website at https://corporate.technogym.com/en/sustainability/documents, which defines the objectives to be achieved by 2025, as aligned with some United Nations "Sustainable Development Goals". In line with the commitments and responsibilities defined in previous years, on 11 February 2026, the Board of Directors verified and confirmed the new Sustainability Plan ("Sustainability Plan"), which defines the Group's targets up to 2030 and is available on the Company's website at https://corporate.technogym.com/en/sustainability. The Board of Directors, supported by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, supervises the initiatives aimed at achieving the objectives defined in the Sustainability Plan, in order to pursue the sustainable success of the Company.
In 2025, Technogym moved forward - with determination - on the path taken in previous years, focusing on implementing actions on issues related, for example, to climate change, diversity and inclusion, and a responsible business approach, as well as monitoring the level of achievement of the targets set. As part of those actions, the 2024 Double Materiality Analysis (DMA) was updated, confirming the materiality of the matters previously identified and strengthening the consistency among strategic priorities, impacts, risks and opportunities generated and stakeholder expectations. The process included the structured involvement of the corporate functions and management, making
it possible to consolidate the oversight on material topics both at own operations level and along the entire value chain.
The implementation of these initiatives within the Company's business model is subject to constant monitoring by top management and reporting, up to 2023, within the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement, published by the Company pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 254/2016. Starting in 2024, this is reported in the section of the Report on Operations in the Company's Financial Statements, called Sustainability Reporting (the "Sustainability Reporting") and prepared pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 125 of 6 September 2024, which transposed EU Directive 2464/2022 ("Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive" or "CSRD"). For more details, see the Sustainability Report, available on the Company's website, in the section https://corporate.technogym.com/it/investor-relations/results/reports-and-presentation, along with the Annual Report for the year 2025.
In addition, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, the Issuer qualifies as a "large company" (meaning companies whose capitalisation exceeded 1 billion Euro on the last trading day of the previous three calendar years), and "company with concentrated ownership" (meaning a company in which one or more shareholders who participate in a shareholder voting agreement have, directly or indirectly, a majority of the votes that can be exercised at a Shareholders' Meeting). By virtue of this double qualification, the Issuer made use of certain specific simplification options afforded by the Corporate Governance Code in compliance with the principle of proportionality introduced therein, with particular reference to the frequency of the Board's self-assessment and the formulation of guidelines on the quantitative and qualitative composition considered optimal for the administrative body in view of its renewal, as specified in Section 7 of this Report, below.
Business purpose
Pursuant to Art. 3 of the Articles of Association, as amended by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 3 December 2024, the Company's purpose is to conceive, design, develop, produce, hire, grant for use, sale, wholesale or retail trade, import and export equipment, machines, accessories and, products and services intended for use, or usable, for physical exercise and in activities for the purpose of wellness, as well as the related installation, consultancy, assistance and repair, and services inherent to the same. The business purpose of the Company also includes the invention, design, development, production, lease, licensing, franchising, sale, wholesale and retail trading, import and export of software applications, also in the cloud, electronic devices to measure biometric or movement parameters, and hardware products, including the management of on-line platforms, and the related installation, advice, assistance and repair and other services, provided that these activities are functional, related or instrumental to physical activity and wellness. The Company can also provide management of gyms and physical therapy centres.
The Company may purchase, exchange, acquire in any other form, manage and sell stocks and bonds as well as equity investments and interests in other companies operating in the same sector, or in similar or related sectors. The Company may also provide technical, administrative and financial coordination and assistance, as well as cash pooling services, for the companies of the Group; it may also provide services of marketing, promotion, sales assistance and advice to these affiliated companies and take care of the publicity, promotion and use of the company brands.
Therefore, the Company may carry out all industrial, financial, commercial operations as well as those involving moveable and immoveable property, in order to achieve the company purpose or connected to it, either directly or indirectly, including providing consultancy activities in all sectors of the Company's operation, granting sureties also in the form of objective bank bonds and collateral securities for the benefit of third parties and acquiring and disposing of interests, quotas and shareholdings in other companies or businesses, either already established or being established, in Italy and abroad.
All these activities must be carried out within the limits and in compliance with the standards that regulate their exercise and with the legal and regulatory provisions on activities reserved to those registered with professional boards, orders, or registers in force at the time. Notably, financial activities must be carried out in compliance with the relevant legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time and in any case never with the public.

Pursuant to Art. 23.3 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Board of Directors, and any representative of this, without the need for authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting, may:

implement decisions coming under their competence which are not yet implemented in whole or in part and do not come within the Company's normal course of business, taken prior to the communication referred to above and whose implementation may conflict with the achievement of the objectives of the offer.

Powers to increase share capital and authorisations to purchase of treasury shares (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter m) of the Consolidated Finance Law)
With reference to the Delegation for the 2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan, the Delegation for the 2024-2026 Performance Shares Plan, the Delegation for the 2025-2027 Performance Shares Plan and for the Proposed Delegation for the 2026-2028 Performance Shares Plan, please refer to Paragraph

On 19 March 2026, the Board of Directors also resolved to propose to the Company's Shareholders' Meeting called for 5 May 2026 to authorise the same Board of Directors, subject to revocation of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of 7 May 2025 for the remaining period, to purchase ordinary Technogym shares without nominal value, in one or more tranches, also on a revolving basis, up to the maximum number of (treasury) shares of 20,000,000 and in any case within the maximum limit set by Art. 2357, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code, for a period of 18 months from the date of the shareholders' meeting resolution, using any of the procedures specified by the joint provisions of Art. 132 of the Consolidated Finance Law and 144-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and, in any case, with any other procedures allowed by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on this issue, both Italian and EU, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including Italian and EU legal and regulatory provisions on market abuse, with the sole exception of the purchase procedures specified in Art. 144-bis, letter c) of the Issuers' Regulation. According to the proposal submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting, the purchase transactions must be carried out at price conditions that comply with the provisions of Art. 3, paragraph 2, of Delegated Regulation No. 2016/1052/EU and, in any case the purchases must be at a price per share that cannot be more than 20% (twenty per cent) higher or lower than the reference price recorded by the share in the stock market session preceding each individual transaction or in the market session prior to the date of announcement of the transaction, in accordance with the technical methods identified by the Board of Directors.
With the exception of the above, at the date of this Report, no powers have been granted to the directors to increase share capital for a consideration, in one or multiple tranches, nor have the directors been granted the power to issue obligations convertible in either ordinary or saving shares or with warrants valid for the underwriting of shares.

Activity of management and coordination (pursuant to Art. 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code)
At the date of this Report, TGH (company resulting from the demerger of Wellness Holding S.r.l.) holds 33.78% of the share capital and 60.47% of the Company's voting rights and, therefore, controls the Issuer pursuant to Art. 93 of the Consolidated Finance Law. TGH is in turn indirectly controlled by Nerio Alessandri, Chair of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, through Oiren S.r.l. (which holds 75% of the share capital of TGH). However, pursuant to Art. 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, the Issuer is not subject to direction and coordination by TGH or by any other company or entity in the control chain through which Nerio Alessandri controls TGH, as acknowledged most recently in the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on 11 February 2026. In particular, after reviewing the factual circumstances, the Board of Directors of Technogym concluded that none of the activities which usually constitute direction and coordination, pursuant to Art. 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, was carried out by TGH or by another company or entity. By way of example but not limited to the following, the Board of Directors has acknowledged that:
management decisions are not centralised at the parent companies;
Technogym has full negotiating autonomy in its relations with customers and suppliers, without any external interference by TGH or other company or entity in the latter's control chain;
there are no intra-group loans, nor common financial plans or cash pooling systems involving TGH or other company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain;
there are no ongoing transactions or projects based on activities or resources shared between Technogym and TGH or other company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain for the purposes of achieving economies of scale;
the Company's and the Group's strategic, business, financial and/or budgetary plans are prepared and executed independently by Technogym and there are no joint business, financial or strategic plans in place with TGH or with another company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain;
the review and approval of the organisational structure of the Group and the assessment of the suitability of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Company and the Group pertains to the Board of Directors of Technogym;
no policies, procedures or directives have been issued by TGH or by another company or entity
that is part of the latter's control chain;
no business, organisational or financial act, guideline or deed related to Technogym or to the Group had been promoted or authorised by TGH or other company or entity that is part of the latter's control chain.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
-
Role of the Board of Directors
Pursuant to existing legislation for companies with shares listed on regulated markets, and in accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors plays a central role in the company's governance system.
Pursuant to Art. 23 of the Articles of Association, the management of the Company is the exclusive authority of the Board of Directors. The Board will be vested with the widest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company and, will be entitled to exercise all powers necessary for the implementation of the Company Object which are not reserved, by law or these Articles on a compulsory basis, to the Shareholders' Meeting.
Without prejudice to the concurrent competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, Art. 23.2 of the Articles of Association also provides for the Board of Directors to resolve on:
the merger of companies fully owned under the terms as set forth in Art. 2505 of the Italian Civil Code or those in which at least a 90% interest is held pursuant to Art. 2505-bis of the Italian Civil Code;
the opening or closing of branches;
the specification of which Directors have the power to represent the Company;
the reduction in share capital in the case of withdrawal of a shareholder;
the amendments to the Articles of Association to ensure compliance with legal provisions;
the move of the registered office to another location in Italy. Article 2436 of the Italian Civil Code will apply in any case.
The Board of Directors, and any representative of this, have also the power, without the need to request authorisation by the shareholders' meeting, to:
carry out all actions and operations coming under their competence which may conflict with the objectives of an Initial Public Offering for acquisition or exchange, from the communication by which the decision or the obligation to make the offer arises are made public, to the closure or expiry of the offer concerned;
implement decisions coming under their competence which are not yet implemented in whole or in part and do not come within the Company's normal course of business, taken prior to the communication referred to above and whose implementation may conflict with the achievement of the objectives of the offer.
The following tasks are expressly reserved to the Board of Directors: (i) the definition of the corporate governance system of the Issuer; (ii) the approval of guidelines for the preparation of the strategic, business and financial plans; (iii) the approval of the operating plan and the annual budget.
The Board has assessed the general operating performance, taking into account, in particular, the information received from the delegated bodies and comparing on a regular basis, at least quarterly, the results obtained with those planned, according to the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code. At the meeting of 03 March 2025 and, most recently, at the meeting of 25 February 2026, the Board of Directors also approved the Company's annual budget with reference to 2025 and 2026, respectively.
As further detailed in the previous Paragraph 1 of this Report, the issues of sustainability have always been integrated in a natural and organic way into the Company's business model, constituting the philosophy of wellness as the guiding criterion for the action, strategies and business processes of the Company and of the group. The Board of Directors, assisted by the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee, supervises the initiatives aimed at pursuing the sustainable success of the company, including those designed to achieve the objectives of the Sustainability Plan, the implementation of which is scrupulously monitored. The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring the impacts, risks and opportunities related to sustainability issues, with the support of the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee. In that regard, sharing the results of the Double Materiality Analysis (DMA) with the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors ensures that the main corporate bodies are suitably informed about the sustainability aspects that are material for the Group, ensuring that these topics are fully integrated into defining company strategy, decisions relating to significant operations and the process of risk management and control (GOV-1 22a; GOV-2 26a). In support of that responsibility, in addition to the skills and knowledge of the members of Technogym's Board of Directors in the sector, and in the financial, economic and legal fields, they boast a wide range of skills and knowledge in the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) field, also developed thanks to their participation in specific courses and webinars on the subject. Some of them have also explored ESG issues through subscriptions to specialist publications and documents issued by their professional association. Others integrate these topics into their university teaching and professional activities as Statutory Auditors and Directors. This combination of academic, professional and practical experience ensures that Technogym's administrative and control bodies possess the necessary expertise to effectively address and manage sustainability issues, ensuring compliance with regulations and reducing the likelihood of regulatory violations.
For more details on the responsibilities and capacities of the administration, direction and control bodies on sustainability issues, refer to the Sustainability Reporting 2025 ("Governance bodies" section of the "General Information" chapter) of the Company's Report on Operations.
Furthermore, meetings of the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors are planned, to which managers responsible for ESG issues and the reporting process are periodically invited to inform the Directors about the development of projects and initiatives in the ESG area and the implementation of the provisions of the Sustainability Plan approved by the Board.
In this area, since the first year of non-financial reporting, the Group has identified the sustainability aspects on which to focus, starting a process of materiality analysis that has evolved over time, with the aim of continuous improvement. Until 2023, the materiality analysis carried out by Technogym had focused exclusively on impacts (inside-out perspective). For its 2024 reporting, in accordance with current regulations, a more structured update of the materiality analysis was carried out in line with the principle of Double Materiality, referred to in the ESRS 1 "General Requirements" standard.
The final results of the 2024 Double Materiality analysis were shared with the members of the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and, subsequently, the Double Materiality analysis was approved by the Board of Directors of Technogym.
In 2025, the process was strengthened further by a review of the analysis, which added an additional dedicated step, carried out with the main corporate functions to validate the results arising and confirm the materiality of the topics identified in the previous year. In order to identify the relevant impacts, risks and opportunities, a threshold mechanism was adopted that provided for the positioning of all IROS (impacts, risks and opportunities) within a matrix. For reasons of consistency, the latter was the same as that used for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM).
Following the checks conducted during the year, the Double Materiality Analysis was confirmed, most recently by the Board of Directors on 11 February 2026, keeping the material topics unchanged on the previous year.
For further information, see Sustainability Reporting 2025 (Section "Sustainability Governance") of the Report on Operations in the Company's Financial Statements.
The Board of Directors defines the practical guidelines for the internal control and risk management system. The Risks, Control and Sustainability Committee continuously monitors the activities designed to manage the main risk components of the company's business, by analysing the risk analysis and mapping processes in order to obtain a broader and more integrated risk management model. In addition, making use of the documents produced and the analysis carried out on the management control system, also with the support of external consultants, and the subsequent updates provided on the issue by the internal audit function and the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Directors has verified the operation and the effectiveness of the management control system of the Group, without identifying major difficulties according to the provisions of the guidelines and the standards set by Borsa Italiana.
The Board of Directors constantly monitors the entry into force of regulatory updates on governance, evaluating all appropriate actions to adapt its governance model to the laws and regulations in force from time to time.
The Board of Directors, after preliminary investigation by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, periodically assesses the adequacy of the organisational and accounting structure of the Company and its subsidiaries. These assessments were conducted by the Board of Directors on 26 March 2025 and, most recently, on 19 March 2026. In particular, during the various meetings in the Financial Year, the Board of Directors has reviewed the Company's organisation, also in relation to the executive reorganisation, considering it to be appropriate, in terms of its size and complexity and its specific characteristics.
The Board of Directors is involved in the decisions regarding operations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries that are of strategic, economic, equity or financial importance for the Company, resolving the related terms and conditions. On 6 March 2017, the Board of Directors set general criteria, unchanged at the date of this Report, to identify the transactions that have a significant strategic, economic, capital or financial relevance for the Issuer, identifying as such all transactions involving the assumption of commitments and the execution of payments up to Euro 25,000,000 (twenty-five million), or its equivalent in another currency, for each individual transaction. The Board of Directors resolves on the adoption of a procedure for the internal management and external communication of documents and information concerning the Company, with particular reference to privileged information. On 16 March 2016, the Board of Directors approved the Company's procedure for the treatment of inside information, subsequently amended by the Board itself on 4 August 2016 and on 28 March 2018, following the entry into force of EU Regulation No. 596/2014 on market abuse. The aforementioned procedure is available on the Company's website at https://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/reports-and-documents. For additional information regarding the processing of corporate information, please refer to Section 5 of this Report.
Concerning the policy for managing dialogue with shareholders and investors approved by the Board of Directors on 27 October 2021 (available on the Company's website at https://corporate.technogym.com/en/governance/reports and documents#2021), please refer to Section 15 of this Report.
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee for 2026, the Company started the necessary actions to adopt a policy for dialogue with relevant stakeholders other than shareholders by the end of the year. That policy will be submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors and will define the criteria and procedures for interacting with the categories of stakeholders identified, assign internal responsibilities and guarantee suitable reporting to the Board on the outcome of the dialogue. The goal is to ensure a structured, transparent approach, promoting the contributions of stakeholders in defining company strategies and in reporting on sustainability. The Company will provide updates on the progress in the next Corporate Governance Report.
During the year, the Board of Directors did not deem it necessary to suitable to draw up justified proposals to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting to define a corporate governance system for suitable to the needs of the company, as the current system was deemed adequate.

Each shareholder, shareholders being parties to a Shareholders' Agreement relating to the Company of relevance pursuant to Article 122 of the Consolidated Finance Law, the controlling party, subsidiary companies and those subject to common control and other parties between whom there is a relationship (including an indirect relationship) of connection pursuant to the laws and regulations in force for the time being, may not present or contribute to the presentation of, including by intermediary or trust company, more than one list nor may they vote for different lists. Each candidate may appear only on one list, being otherwise deemed ineligible. Each list carries the names of the candidates, with a sequential number; the number of candidates cannot exceed the number of members to be elected.
Any list with a number of candidates equal or below 7 must include and identify at least 1 candidate with the independence requirements set according to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time for independent directors. Any list with a number of candidates above 7 must include and identify at least 2 candidates with the independence requirements set according to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time for independent directors. If those obligations are not fulfilled, the list is deemed as not presented.
In addition, for the period of application of the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on gender balance, any list presenting at least 3 candidates must also include candidates of both genders, so that at least two-fifths (rounded up) of candidates belong to the less represented gender. If those obligations are not fulfilled, the list is deemed as not presented.
The lists must be filed at the offices of the Company, also remotely, following the procedures specified in the call notice, and made available to the public in the terms and with the procedures specified by legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
The lists must be accompanied by the following:
the information relating to the identity of the shareholders presenting the lists with an indication of the total percentage shareholding owned, without prejudice to the fact that the certification showing the ownership of such shareholding may be produced subsequently to the lodging of the lists, so long as within the time limit laid down for the publication of the lists by the Company;
a declaration of shareholders other than those owning, including jointly, a controlling or relative majority shareholding, attesting to the absence of relationships of connection, including indirect relationships, pursuant to the laws and regulations in force for the time being, with the latter;
exhaustive information on the personal and professional characteristics of the candidates with a possible indication of their suitability and qualifications to act as independent directors pursuant to the law in force for the time being (and/or pursuant to the Ethical Codes relating to company governance promoted by companies managing regulated markets that may have been adopted by the Company), together with a declaration by the same candidates confirming their satisfaction of the pre-requisites laid down by the laws and regulations in force for the time being and by the Articles including those concerning propriety and, where applicable, independence and their acceptance of the candidacy and the office if elected;
any other additional or different statement, information and/or document required by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
If these obligations are not fulfilled, the list is deemed as not presented.
The vote of each shareholder is given to a list and therefore, automatically, to all candidates on the list, without changes, additions or exclusions.
The election of the Board of Directors takes place as follows:
the lists that have obtained a percentage of votes less than the half of the percentage required for their presentation are not taken into account;
all Directors to be elected but one are taken, in the progressive order with which they are indicated in the list, from the list that obtained the highest number of votes;
the remaining Director to be elected is taken from the list that obtained the second highest number of votes after the one in (b), votes given by shareholders who are not related in any way, not even indirectly, pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time with the shareholders who have presented or voted the list as set forth in (b) above.
In case of parity between lists, priority is given to the list presented by the shareholders with the largest equity investment or, subordinately, by the largest number of shareholders.
If, at the end of the voting, a sufficient number of directors satisfying the pre-requisites of independence laid down by the law in force for the time being has not been elected, the candidate not satisfying such pre-requisites elected as the last on the basis of the numerical order on the list receiving the most votes will be excluded, and such candidate will be replaced by the first candidate not elected on the same list satisfying such pre-requisites of independence according to the numerical order of the same. The above procedure, if necessary, will be repeated until reaching the number of independent directors to be elected. If, on the completion of such replacement procedure, the composition of the Board of Directors does not comply with the minimum number of directors satisfying the pre-requisites of independence laid down by the law in force for the time being, the replacement will be made by means of resolution passed by the Shareholders' Meeting by a relative majority of the votes represented therein following the presentation of candidacies of persons satisfying the pre-requisites of independence laid down by the law in force for the time being.
Furthermore, if, at the end of the voting and the possible application of the previous paragraph, the composition of the Board of Directors does not comply with the laws and regulations in force for the time being concerning gender equality, the candidate of the gender with highest representation being the last to be elected according to the numerical order of the list receiving the most votes will be excluded and replaced by the first candidate not elected from the same list of the less represented gender according to the related numerical order. This replacement process is repeated until the
composition of the Board of Directors complies with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on gender balance. If, on the completion of such replacement procedure, the composition of the Board of Directors does not comply with the laws and regulations in force for the time being concerned with gender equality, the replacement will be carried out by resolution passed by the Shareholders' Meeting by a majority relative to the votes represented therein following the presentation of candidacies of persons belonging to the less represented gender.
If the number of candidates elected on the basis of the lists presented is fewer than the number of directors to be elected, the remaining directors will be elected by the Shareholders' Meeting which will vote by the relative majority of the votes represented therein and in any case in such a way as to ensure the presence of the minimum number of independent directors laid down by the law in force for the time being and to comply with the laws and regulations in force for the time being concerned with gender equality. In the case of a parity of votes between candidates there will be a second ballot between them by means of a further vote of the Shareholders' Meeting, the candidate receiving the most votes being the winner.
If only one list has been presented, the Shareholders' Meeting will vote on it and, if it receives a relative majority of those represented at the meeting, all members of the Board of Directors will be taken from such list in compliance with the laws and regulations in force for the time being including those concerning independent directors and gender equality.
If no list is presented or if a single list is presented and this does not obtain the relative majority of the votes represented in shareholders' meeting or if the entire Board of Directors does not need reappointing or if it is not possible for any reason to appoint the Board of Directors with the procedures described above, the members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting with the ordinary procedures and the relative majority of the votes there represented, without application of the list vote mechanism, and in any case in a way to ensure the presence of the minimum number of independent directors required by legal and regulatory provisions as well as compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions on gender balance in force at the time.
With regard to the replacement of Directors, if one or more directors leave office, for any reason, Art. 19 of the Articles of Association requires their replacement to take place as follows.
If the director ceasing to hold office comes from a list other than that which received the most votes, so long as the majority of directors remain those appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors will appoint the replacement by means of co-option pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code from the candidates belonging to the same list as the director ceasing to hold office if satisfying the necessary pre-requisites.
If, for any reason, there are no names available and eligible or in circumstances where the director ceasing to hold office had been taken from the list receiving the most votes, the Board of Directors will appoint the replacement or replacements by co-option pursuant to Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code without restrictions in the choice between members of the lists presented at the time.
If the law requires the shareholders' meeting to appoint the directors needed to integrate the Board of Directors after the departure of directors, it will proceed in compliance with the provisions that follow.
When it is necessary to replace one or more members of the Board of Directors taken from the list receiving the most votes, the replacement will be made by decision of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, which will pass resolutions receiving the relative majority of the votes represented therein without restrictions in the choice from the members of the lists presented at the time.
If, however, it is necessary to replace a member of the Board of Directors taken from a list other than that receiving the most number of votes, the General Meeting will decide, by votes cast representing the relative majority of the votes represented therein, where possible, between the candidates indicated in the list to which the director to be replaced belongs, who must have confirmed their candidacy in writing at least 10 (ten) days prior to the date scheduled for the Shareholders' Meeting, combined with the declarations relating to the non-existence of causes of ineligibility or disqualification together with the satisfaction of the pre-requisites laid down by the laws and regulations in force for the time being or by the Articles of Association for the office. Where such replacement procedure is not possible, the replacement of the member of the Board of Directors will be carried out by resolution to be passed with the relative majority of the votes represented in the Shareholders' Meeting in compliance, where possible, with rules on the representation of minorities.
The replacements described above must, in any case, be carried out in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time on gender balance and the minimum number of directors meeting the independence requirements required by legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time.
The term of office of the directors appointed by the shareholders' meeting to replace the directors who leave ends at the same time as the directors already in office at the time of their appointment.
If the majority of the directors appointed by the shareholders' meeting leaves, for any reason, the entire board of directors is understood to have left and the meeting to appoint the new Board of Directors must be called urgently by the directors still in office.
The board regularly verifies that its members continue to meet the requirements made by the legal and regulatory provisions in force at the time and by the Articles of Association, including the independence and honourableness requirements, and that there are no causes of ineligibility and forfeiture.
Any director who, after the appointment, ceases to satisfy the necessary or previously declared prerequisites must inform the Board of Directors immediately of the same. The loss of independence prerequisites laid down by the law in force applicable to independent directors will result in disqualification from the office, save where such pre-requisites remain satisfied by the minimum number of directors who, according to the law in force for the time being, must satisfy such prerequisites. Without prejudice to these provisions, if a director does not meet or no longer meets the independence requirements (if this involves the forfeiture according to the provisions above) or integrity stated and required, or there are cause of ineligibility or forfeiture, the Board of Directors declares the forfeiture of the director and carries out their replacement in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable and that is described above.
With reference to the role of the Board of Directors and of the board committees in the self-assessment, appointment and succession processes of directors, please refer to what is described in Section 7 of this Report.
