REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE MODIFICATION OF THE

BYLAWS OF

ISPD NETWORK, S.A.

  1. OBJECT

This report is issued in relation to the proposed modification of the bylaws to be submitted for approval by the ordinary and extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of ISPD Network, S.A. (hereinafter, the "Company") to be held at first call at the registered office, at 09:30 hours (peninsular time zone GMT/UTC+1), on June 23rd, 2022; and in second call, on date June 24th, 2022, at the same place and time.

The report is issued pursuant to article 286 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010, of July 2, approving the revised text of the Spanish Companies Act ("LSC"), in relation to the proposed amendment of the articles of association approved by the board of directors of the Company at its meeting held on May 19th, 2022.

  1. JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OF THE BYLAWS The board of directors considers the following to be convenient:
  1. To replace the Company's current corporate website,www.antevenio.com, with the new corporate website www.ispd.com, whose nomenclature matches with the Company's current corporate name and with the recently presented head trademark of the group (ISPD).
    Currently, articles 11 bis ("Website of the Company") and 15 ("Call of the General Meeting") include the URL address of the corporate website, although this is not legally required (it is sufficient for the website to be notified to the Companies Registry without the need for it to be expressly stated in the Company's bylaws). In order to make it possible to replace the website in the future without having to amend the bylaws, it will be proposed to the General Meeting that, firstly, articles 11 bis ("Website of the Company") and 15 ("Call of the General Meeting") be amended, deleting the reference to the URL of the website, and then approving the replacement of the current website with the new website.
    The replacement will be effective when the new corporate website is published in the "Companies Registry Official Gazette". The replacement agreement shall also be posted on the replaced website for at least 30 days from the date of publication.
  2. To introduce in the bylaws the possibility for shareholders to attend the general meetings telematically (in addition to through the other previously admitted means), as well as the possibility to hold general meetings exclusively telematically, without physical attendance of the shareholders, their representatives and the members of the board, all of these under the provisions of articles 182 and 182 bis of the LSC. It is considered that enabling such mechanisms will make it possible to hold general meetings in accordance with more current formats and standards when the board deems it appropriate. The introduction of these mechanisms will require the amendment of article 18 ("Right of Attendance. Representation") and the creation of a new provision in the bylaws, Article 18 bis ("General Shareholders' Meeting exclusively by telematic means").
  3. To introduce in the bylaws the possibility to send the attendance and voting card for General Meetings to the Company by electronic means, in addition to

by delivery or postal mail, through the amendment of article 20 bis ("Remote voting").

  1. To introduce in the Company's bylaws the possibility to call the Board with less than 8 days in advance when it is convenient for urgency reasons, through the amendment of article 23 bis ("Calling of the Board of Directors").
