LETTER TO THE STAKEHOLDERS

The year ended 30 April 2021 was strongly characterised by the Covid-19 pandemic and a profound evolution of organisational and socio-economic models, with a growing demand for

digitisation.

Defence and protection of the environment and the wellbeing of human resources and stakeholder communities have become central goals for the sustainable and long-term success of every company.

The creation of sustainable value for its stakeholders has always been the Sesa Group's main strategic mission. Sustainability is a permeating element of our corporate vision, from the protection of natural resources to attention to the welfare of employees and the communities in which we operate. We are convinced that only by creating lasting value for all stakeholders can we maximise the long-term value of the shareholders, the welfare of people and communities, environmental protection and economic growth being integral parts of a single ecosystem.

The sustainability report is an important opportunity to show how the Sesa Group operates with its stakehol- ders, the medium/long-term strategic guidelines adopted by management and, more generally, to fully understand the drivers of sustainable growth that inspire the management of the Group.

The year ended 30 April 2021 closed with strong growth in skills and human resources, continuing the path of sustainable development in support of the digital transformation of the main Italian economic and European manufacturing districts.

At 30 April 2021, the Group distributed an economic value of Euro 208.0 million (+47.9% compared to 30 April 2020), Euro 163.0 million of which to human resources and Euro 26.4 million for the benefit of the Public Administration and the community, intensifying initiatives on sustainability-relatedissues, also including "ESG" (Environmental, Social and Governance) goals among those of a statutory nature and those of all the organisation's key people. In particular, the Shareholders' Meeting held in January 2021 unanimously approved the integration of Article 19 of the Articles of Association, aimed at steering the directors' commitment towards pursuing success and sustainable growth to the benefit of all Stakeholders. In the same month the Group began assessing and measuring its ESG impact, aimed at obtaining B Corp Certification.

The results of the year, together with the growth of skills, allow the Sesa Group to further consolidate its role as a reference operator in Italy in the field of technological innovation and digital transformation services for the business segment. We worked with a sustainable approach, consistent with the Group's strategic guidelines and a growing focus on the relevant areas of digital transformation, in order to meet the accelerated demand for digitisation. Actions and investments aimed at strengthening the corporate culture and human capital were intensified, enhancing diversity, skills and spirit of integration.

Thanks to hiring activities and the contribution of recent acquisitions, the Group reached the threshold of 3,500 resources (3,441 employees of the companies included in the scope of consolidation), an increase of over 37% compared to 30 April 2020. At 30 April 2021, there were more than 400 new hires (200 in the previous year), most of whom were young people from Italian specialisation schools and universities, recruited through training plans to support the initiatives and business sectors with the greatest innovative content.

At 30 April 2021, despite the situation caused by the pandemic, more than 26,000 hours of training were provided, with a focus on technological innovation and soft skills,up 30% compared to 30 April 2020. Welfare initiatives aimed at improving the quality of working life and wellbeing of Group employees were also
