Set for Shareholders' Meeting at 28 April 2023

Right to ask questions before the shareholders' meeting

Pursuant to Article 127-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 (Testo Unico della Finanza, TUF, i.e. Consolidated Law on Finance), parties entitled to voting rights may ask questions on the items on the agenda, including before the Shareholders’ Meeting, by sending a registered letter addressed to Unipol Group S.p.A. – Ufficio Soci - Via Stalingrado 37, 40128 Bologna, or submitting the request by fax to no. 051 7096713, or e-mail to the certified e-mail address segreteriagenerale@pec.unipol.it, or, finally, by filling in the appropriate Form in this section of the Company’s Internet site. Requests must be received by the record date, i.e. by 19 April 2023.

Consideration will be exclusively given to questions received by the Company that are strictly relevant to the items on the agenda.

Applicants must send their personal details (name and surname or company name in case of legal entities or corporations, place and date of birth and Italian tax identification code) and the appropriate documentation proving entitlement to exercising voting rights issued by their intermediary, valid through 19 April 2023 (record date), to segreteriagenerale@pec.unipol.it.

If Shareholders have already requested their depositary intermediary to issue the notification of entitlement to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting, it will be sufficient to include details of such notification issued by the intermediary, or at least the name of the intermediary, in the request.

Questions received before the Shareholders’ Meeting will be answered at the latest by 26 April through publication on the Company’s Internet site, with the option for the Company to provide one answer to questions having a similar content.

Right to make additions to the agenda and submit proposal on matters already on the agenda pursuant to article 126-bis of the consolidated law on finance

Pursuant to Article 126-bis of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 (“TUF”), any Shareholders who, individually or collectively represent one-fortieth of the share capital may, by 6 April 2023 (i.e. the tenth day following publication of the notice of Shareholders’ Meeting), request additions to be made to the agenda, specifying the additional items being proposed in their request, or submitting proposed resolutions on an item already on the agenda. Additions are not allowed for items on which the Shareholders’ Meeting should pass a resolution according to legislation on the Directors’ proposal or in accordance with a project or report prepared by the Directors other than those referred to in Article 125-ter, paragraph 1, of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance.

Requests must be made in writing by registered letter with r/r and addressed to UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. - Ufficio Soci - Via Stalingrado 37, 40128 Bologna, or sent to the certified e-mail address: segreteriagenerale@pec.unipol.it. The certification of ownership of the shares held by the requesting Shareholders and of the equity share required to request additions to be made to the agenda must be proven by a specific notification submitted by the depositary intermediary, effective at the date of the request, addressed to segreteriagenerale@pec.unipol.it.

Notice of any additions to the agenda will be given in the same manner as required by law for the notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting within the terms provided for by applicable legislation.

Shareholders requesting additions to be made to the Agenda must prepare a report that sets forth the reason for the proposed resolution on a new item that they propose to discuss or the reason for the additional resolution proposal on any items already on the agenda: the above report must be sent to the Board of Directors by the deadline for submitting the request for additions to the agenda.

Right to submit proposed resolutions individually prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting

In addition to the above, given that attendance at Shareholders’ Meetings may exclusively take place through the Designated Representative, anyone who is entitled to attend the Shareholders’  Meeting and wishes to formulate proposed resolutions on the items on the agenda are kindly requested to submit them in advance by 12 April 2023. Such proposals, if relevant, will be published on the Company’s Internet site by 13 April in order to enable those entitled to voting rights to cast their vote knowingly by also taking into account such new proposals and allowing the Designated Representative to collect voting instructions on the same or other items, if any. Applicants must provide appropriate documentation proving their entitlement to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting and must give powers to the Designated Representative to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting.
