Authorisation for purchase and disposal of treasury shares

The Shareholders' Meeting approved the proposal of the Board of Directors and authorised the Board of Directors, subject to revocation of the previous authorisation granted on 4 May 2023, for the part not yet executed, to purchase and dispose of treasury shares up to a maximum of 5%, including treasury shares already owned by Somec S.p.A. and or by any other subsidiary, of the share capital and for a maximum period of eighteen months pursuant to Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, Article 132 of the Consolidated Finance Act and Article 144-bis of CONSOB Regulation 11971/1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation").

The Shareholders' Meeting approved the power of the Board of Directors to carry out repeated and subsequent purchase and sale transactions (or other acts of disposal) of treasury shares, whether on a revolving basis or otherwise, including for fractions of the maximum quantity authorised, so that (i) the amount of shares to be purchased and owned by Somec S.p.A. will not exceed at any time the limits laid down by law and set out in the Shareholders' Meeting authorisation and, in any case, (ii) such purchase is made in accordance with the law provisions in force, and, if applicable, of market practices allowed from time to time.

In general, the authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares is granted for the purpose of providing Somec S.p.A. with a flexible instrument that helps to pursue some of the purposes compatible with the laws and regulations in force, including in particular: (i) reliance on a securities portfolio (aka securities warehouse)

2

to be used, in line with the Company's strategic guidelines, to carry out any extraordinary transactions, and/or the possible use of shares as consideration in extraordinary transactions, including those involving the exchange of shareholdings, with other parties as part of transactions of interest to the Company; (ii) allocation of treasury shares to service bonds or other debt instruments convertible into Company shares; (iii) allocation of treasury shares to service current and possible future incentive plans, whether for a valuable consideration or free of charge, reserved for directors and/or employees and/or collaborators of the Company or of the group it belongs to; (iv) executing other extraordinary transactions on capital (including the possible reduction thereof through the write-off of treasury shares, without prejudice to legal requirements); and (v) providing shareholders with an additional instrument to monetise their investment.

Purchase transactions may be carried out in any of the methods permitted by the applicable law, including regulatory provisions, to be identified from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Disposal transactions may be carried out in any manner deemed as appropriate in relation to the pursued purposes, including sale outside the regulated market. Authorisation was also granted to engage in subsequent purchase and sale transactions as part of trading operations.

Purchases may be made at a unit price that may not exceed or be less than 20% of the share closing price in the stock exchange session preceding each individual transaction, and, in any case, in compliance with the further applicable rules. At present, this criterion does not make it possible to determine the potential maximum total outlay for the share buyback programme.

The disposal of treasury shares (for purposes other than those pursued within the scope of business projects or extraordinary financial deals) may take place at a unit transfer price no less than 20% lower than the closing price recorded by the share in the stock exchange session preceding each individual transaction, it being understood that this limit may not apply in certain cases.

Somec S.p.A., in compliance with current and applicable regulations, will inform the market of the possible start date of the share buyback programme and will provide such additional information as may be required.

At present, Somec S.p.A. directly holds 11,934 treasury shares, accounting for 0.17% of the share capital. Somec S.p.A.'s subsidiaries do not hold any Somec S.p.A.'s shares.
