Dear Shareholders,

The Board of Directors of your Company has convened the Ordinary Meeting of Shareholders to propose the approval of the draft financial statements of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. as of 31 December 2021.

The Financial Statements as of 31 December 2021 record a profit for the period equal to €58,032,353.33; as regards the above, reference is made to the Notes and Report on Operations prepared by the Board of Directors of the Company and already available to Shareholders.

We therefore propose allocating profit as follows:

  • €2,901,617.67 to the legal reserve;
  • €6,567,098.91 to the earnings reserve from the valuation of investments with the equity method;
  • €48,563,636.75 to shareholders as a dividend.

Furthermore, taking into account that the financial statements include available reserves of €13,252,688.45 net of development costs - pursuant to Article 2426 no. 5 of the Italian Civil Code - and of share buybacks by the Company, and also taking into account the Group's prospects, we propose to distribute a dividend of €0.150 before tax, for each eligible ordinary share, for a total maximum amount of €53,566,173.90, to be charged as follows: €5,002,537.15 to the "Retained earnings" reserve and €48,563,636.75 to the residual profit for 2021 after allocations to the legal reserve and to the reserve for the valuation of equity investments using the equity method.

As resolved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2021, on 22 September 2021 the Company paid an interim dividend per share of € 0.085 with an ex-dividend date of 20 September 2021 and payment on 22 September 2021; we therefore propose payment, as the balance of the interim dividend already paid, of a dividend of € 0.065 for each eligible ordinary share, for a maximum total of € 23,212,008.69 to be taken from the available profit for the year for € 18,209,471.54 and for € 5,002,537.15 from the "Retained Earnings" reserve with an ex- dividend date of coupon no. 18 on 19 April 2022, and payment date on 21 April 2022. .

The Board of Directors will also notify you of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2021 and the Consolidated Non-Financial Report as of 31 December 2021.
