INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LABOMAR AND SESA GROUP

LABOMAR AND VAR GROUP SIGN PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS ON THE CHINESE

MARKET FOR NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCTS

Empoli (FI), September 7, 2021

Labomar SpA (AIM Ticker: LBM), an Italian-based international nutraceutical enterprise, and Sesa ("SESA"

• SES.MI), reference player in Italy in technological innovation and digital services for the business segment, through its subsidiary Var Group SpA, active in the Software and System Integration sector, have signed a partnership agreement for the development of Chinese market digital e-commerce platforms for Nutraceutical products. The agreement involves the establishment of a Newco whose majority will be owned by Labomar and participated by Var Group which will develop the partnership project under the LaboVar brand.

The partnership will focus on the development of an e-commerce platform on the Chinese digital market for Labomar's Nutraceutical products (food supplements, cosmetics and well-being products).

The digital sales platform will be developed by Adiacent, a Sesa Group company operating in the customer experience and digital marketing sector, specialised in digital e-commerce platforms and digital marketing for international enterprises on the Chinese market, thanks to the long-standing partnership with Alibaba and a direct presence in China through a team of Chinese mother-tongue staff based in Shanghai. The start up of operations and the consequent first revenues are expected to occur in the First Half of 2022.

The partnership is an opportunity to operate on one of the largest marketplaces in the world (China), bringing top-quality products and a business model focused on digital sales platforms, such as Tmall (marketplace leader in China for online business-to-consumer retail, owned by the Alibaba Group) and Wechat (Tencent Group), through mini-programs - proprietary tailor-madee-commerce solutions - developed by Adiacent China for leading international customers.

The Adiacent China team has recently been enriched with resources and specializations thanks to the acquisition of Fireworks in the first half of 2021, doubling the size of the workforce, with about 40 Chinese mother-tongue and international staff based in Shanghai.

"I am very satisfied with the launch of this collaboration with such a highly-respected and experienced technological partner as Sesa Group: it will allow Labomar to gain a foothold on such a large market as the Far East, quickly and flexibly, mirroring our company's "modus operandi". We at the same time will be able to quickly tap into the potential of this area. LaboVar will allow us to test our ability to penetrate the Asian markets, which report very strong growth in personal care products. The Chinese consumers, in particular, are young and very oriented to European food supplements: we want to precisely meet this customers need", stated Walter Bertin, founder and CEO of Labomar.

"We are happy to collaborate with such a dynamic and internationally-focused enterprise as Labomar. Through the partnership with Labomar, we further pursue our objective of supporting Italian and European enterprises in bringing top-quality products to one of the world's largest digital market, extending our expertise and specialisations into an industrial sector with strong growth potential", stated Francesca Moriani, CEO of Var Group.

"Adiacent will support the international development of Labomar, thanks to the strong specialisation gained through the strategic partnership with the Alibaba Group and our established presence in China, with a team
