Significant events after 31 December 2021

Supplementing the information published above or at the time of approval of the 2021 third- quarter results (directors' meeting of 12 November 2021), this section illustrates key events in and after 2020.

On 23 November 2021, the Piaggio Group presented a number of new products at the EICMA tradeshow in Milan. These included: Aprilia Tuareg 660, Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory, Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello, Moto Guzzi V85 TT Guardia d'Onore, Piaggio 1 and Vespa Elettrica (RED).

On 24 November 2021, the Standard & Poor's Global Ratings agency (S&P) said it had upgraded its rating for the Piaggio Group from "B+" to "BB-", and confirmed its "stable" outlook.

On 29 November 2021 the Piaggio Group signed agreements with the trades unions concerning the launch of a program for the fixed-term recruitment in 2022 of up to 580 people for the Group's Italian factories in Pontedera, Mandello del Lario and Scorzè.

On 20 January 2022 the Piaggio Group presented the results of a new study exploring and analysing Vespa brand value, identifying Vespa as a key asset in its portfolio. The study, conducted by Interbrand, the world's leading brand consultancy, found Vespa to be "a unique brand with worldwide recognition, thanks to its perfect combination of design, lifestyle and Italian tradition" and establishes the economic value of the Vespa brand at 906 million euro.

On 7 February 2022, the placement with European and Asian banks of a Schuldschein loan totalling 115 million euro was completed. The issue was launched in October 2021 for an initial amount of 50 million euro, which was increased as a result of the quantity of orders received. This is an important operation for Piaggio on the Schuldschein market, in terms both of the take-up and of the qualifying organisation of maturities at 3, 5 and 7 years. The loan will be used to refinance current debt and diversify lenders, as well as to strengthen the Group's solid liquidity profile by extending average debt maturity.

On 10 March, the Piaggio Group and Santander Consumer Finance (Santander) entered into a long-term global cooperation agreement for the development of retail financial services to support the Piaggio Group's sales organisation and distribution network in local markets around the world.

On 18 March, at the first MotoGP race in Indonesia, the Piaggio Group announced that it was developing a new facility in Jakarta, which will be built on a 55,000 square-meter area, and whose inauguration is expected by the end of the year.

Outlook

Although the formulation of forecasts remains complex, the Immsi Group will continue to work towards meeting its commitments and targets, maintaining all necessary measures in place to ensure a flexible and immediate response to any challenging and unexpected situations that might arise, thanks to careful and efficient business and financial management.

Regarding the Industrial Sector, Piaggio will also continue its growth path in 2022, confirming the planned investments in new products and new facilities and strengthening its commitment to ESG issues, despite the current international geopolitical tensions.

In this general situation, Piaggio will continue as ever to work to meet its commitments and objectives, keeping a constant focus on efficient management of its economic and financial structure so that it can respond immediately and in a flexible manner to the challenges and uncertainties of 2022.

In the Naval Sector, despite continuing uncertainty, advances in production work on contracts will continue as well as commercial operations in all the company's areas of business. Intermarine is also involved in a number of negotiations, in the Defence sector in particular, to win new orders that would enable it to expand its order book and consequently guarantee conditions allowing it to optimise its production capacity over the coming years. The company will also pursue every opportunity to contain direct and indirect costs.

The Real Estate and Tourism-HospitalitySector reports an expected gradual return to normality and subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A. will therefore be moving ahead with sales operations to identify possible domestic and international buyers.

In addition, the sale of the shares in Pietra Ligure Srl is expected within H1, which provides for a price balance in favour of seller Pietra Srl of EUR 20 million, to complete the price advance of EUR 10 million collected in July 2021.

The Immsi Group is closely following the developing conflict between The Russian Federation and Ukraine that risks having significant repercussions on the global economy, also as a result of the sanctions that have already entered into force or are currently being defined. The extreme geographical diversification of sales means that, at 31 December 2021, Group exposure in this area is essentially zero (0.05% in terms of sales revenue).
