Brembo N.V. • New Governance Documents

FOREWORD

Brembo N.V. ("Brembo" or the "Company"), listed on Euronext Milan, a regulated market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., believes it to be in its specific interest - and that it has a duty to the market - to establish and maintain a constant, open relationship with the current and potential shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders" and each a "Shareholder"), investors and/or analysts in order to increase their level of understanding of the activities performed by the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") and to share the strategic actions and visions underlying company management. At the same time, this dialogue is a precious source of information that Brembo believes it ought to take into account, inter alia and particularly, in formulating the mission that inspires the Company's actions, with the aim of fostering value growth in the medium-to-long term, as well as in identifying activities designed to ensure high standards of governance.

Brembo's board of directors (bestuur) (the "Board of Directors") adopted the Shareholder Engagement Policy for the first time on 17 December 2021. Subsequently, following the cross-border conversion of the Company from Italy to the Netherlands and in accordance with best practice provision 4.2.2 of the Dutch corporate governance code, which entered into effect on 1 January 2023 (the "Dutch Code"), and paragraph 9.2 of the board rules of the Company, the Board of Directors has drawn up and adopted this Brembo Bilateral Contacts with Shareholders Policy (hereinafter the "Policy") on 24 April 2024.

1. SCOPE

This Policy governs the relations between the Company, the Shareholders, investors and an- alysts, or with their representatives and advisors and lays down the themes and methods of implementing a dialogue between the Company and the Shareholders in general, drawing inspiration from the principles of propriety, transparency and symmetry of information, in accordance with European, Italian and Dutch legislation on market abuse regulations and taking into account the best practices adopted by institutional investors reflected in their stewardship codes.

The Company is committed to facilitating and maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with its Shareholders, investors and/or analysts, unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, this is not in the interests of the Company and its affiliated enterprise. The Company aims to keep its Shareholders, investors and/or analysts updated by informing them equally, simultaneously, clearly and accurately about the Company's strategy, performance and other Company matters and developments that could be relevant to investors' decisions through meetings, presentations, conference calls, etc. as referred to in the Dutch Code or otherwise.

Brembo provides the Shareholders, investors and/or analysts with information regarding its activities, strategies and performance, in the manner set out in this Policy. The Company will act in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, including provisions on inside information, fair and non-selective disclosure and equal treatment of Shareholders that are in the same position.

Particular attention is devoted to information regarding environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues, since they are deemed relevant to constructing a company identity of sustainability integrated into the business and designed to create present and future value. Dialogue with Shareholders, investors and/or analysts also includes non-financial aspects (e.g., corporate governance procedures and risk-related topics in the broader sense).

2

4 • Brembo Bilateral Contacts With Shareholders Policy

Dialogue thus revolves around the matters within the purview of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors (the "Board Committees"), including: corporate governance (e.g., appointments and composition of the Board of Directors, information regarding the size, competencies, professionalism, independence and diversity of the members of the Board of Directors and Board Committees, etc.), sustainability, company strategies, prospects and financial performance, management remuneration policies, dividend policies, internal control and risk management system and all other topics that may enable better understanding of the activities performed by Brembo, useful in supporting investment deci- sions. The following subjects are excluded from the scope of this Policy:

  • information given to, and conversations with, the Shareholders during shareholders' meetings, as governed by specific laws and regulations in effect from time to time and the articles of association (statuten); and
  • clarification or technical information that does not involve and is not within the purview of the Board of Directors.

2. PARTIES IN CHARGE OF MANAGING DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS/INVESTORS/ ANALYSTS

The implementation of dialogue with the Shareholders, investors and/or analysts is entrusted to the parties identified below.

2.1 Board of Directors

The Board of Directors provides steering, monitoring and verification of dialogue, and in particular:

  • it approves the Policy and amendments and changes thereto;
  • it monitors and periodically assesses the application of the Policy and the course of the dialogue on the basis of the reports received pursuant to paragraph 2.2 below to ensure that the activity is performed:
  1. in the Company's interest, having regard, in particular, to sustainable long-term value creation;
  2. in accordance with the Policy and applicable legislation, including with regard to market abuse regulations and the principles of transparency, truthfulness, equal treatment and symmetry of information;
  • it monitors regulatory and best practice changes in order to make amendments to the Policy, where necessary1;

_____________

1This Policy is subject to review whenever necessary or appropriate and, in any event, at least every three years so as to ensure that it is up to date with evolving legislation on corporations and/or related best practices.

Brembo N.V. • New Governance Documents

2.2 Executive Chairman

The Executive Chairman generally handles operational management of all processes of engagement and dialogue with the Shareholders, investors and/or analysts (the "Requesting Parties"), ensuring that such processes are always performed in the Company's best interest and in accordance with the laws, regulations, this Policy and internal rules.

  • The Executive Chairman, with support from the Head of Investor Relations, and where necessary or appropriate in coordination with the CEO, the Secretary of the Board of Di- rectors and the Chief Communication Officer, based on their respective responsibilities:
  • examines requests for dialogue from the Requesting Parties and assesses whether to grant such requests in accordance with the criteria laid down in paragraph 3.2 below;
  • performs preliminary activities, involving, where appropriate, the various competent company functions in charge from time to time, depending on the topics of the dialogue, and coordinating the collection of the relevant information;
  • decides which initiatives to take to enable and foster dialogue with the Requesting Par-

ties and identifies the methods of conducting the dialogue, in terms, for example, of choice between the use of means of communication (such as the publication of press releases and/or documents, the Company's website and social channels) and meetings (one-to-one meetings between the Executive Chairman/CEO/Head of Investor Relations and the Requesting Parties, group meetings, presentations, virtual meetings, conference calls, etc.), and, in this latter case, the number of meetings to be held and the identification of the participants;

  • assesses whether to involve other directors, managers or employees of the Company in view of their respective specific competencies (also considering the participation of members of Board Committees, where applicable), the subject-matter and purpose of the discussion and the characteristics of the interlocutor, in order to: (i) satisfy any re- quests for clarification from Shareholders, investors and/or analysts, and (ii) enable an open, constructive and transparent dialogue;
  • ensures that Shareholders, investors and/or analysts enjoy access to information, in ac- cordance with applicable regulations, as well as the Policy, the disclosure obligations to the market, the general confidentiality obligations and the Procedure for Handling Inside and Relevant Information;
  • periodically reports (supported by the Secretary of the Board of Directors) to the Board of Directors on dialogue and discussion with Shareholders, investors and/or analysts of the Company at the next meeting where significant elements emerge and, in any event, within the framework of Board of Directors' meetings dedicated to examining periodic financial reports, in order to allow the Board of Directors to perform its function of mon- itoring engagement activity and formulate directives or guidelines, where needed.

It remains understood that, if the Executive Chairman considers it necessary, he/she may at any time involve the Board of Directors in the performance of the above-mentioned activi- ties.

It should be noted that where other members of the Board of Directors receive a request for a meeting or information from Shareholders, investors and/or analysts, they are required to immediately inform the Secretary of the Board of Directors, and this latter will inform the Executive Chairman, who will assess the request and take any initiatives, as further specified above.

2.3 Head of investor relations and other company functions

The main point of contact between Brembo and its Shareholders, investors and/or analysts is the Head of Investor Relations, who acts in coordination with, and under the responsibility of, the Executive Chairman with regard to implementation of this Policy (with any support from the Secretary of the Board of Directors and the Chief Communication Officer), whom

4

4 • Brembo Bilateral Contacts With Shareholders Policy

the Shareholders, investors and/or analysts may contact to request information and submit their opinions.

At the operational level, the Head of Investor Relations is the first channel for discussion with the Company for Shareholders, investors and/or analysts; up-to-date references and contacts are available on the Company's website www.brembo.com, Investors section. Requests received by persons/functions other than the Head of Investor Relations function (e.g., specific bodies, committees or Company officers) are relayed to the said function for the necessary preliminary review.

  • In particular, the Head of Investor Relations:
  • receives requests from the Requesting Parties aimed at establishing a dialogue with the Company and shares them with the Executive Chairman for the appropriate assess- ments;
  • communicates and interacts with the Requesting Parties to ensure that information is provided in a transparent, constant and constructive manner;
  • interacts on an ongoing basis with institutional investors, as well as financial analysts and rating agencies;
  • organises special meetings with the Requesting Parties, where necessary;
  • proposes to the Executive Chairman any and all initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue with the Requesting Parties;
  • coordinates with the Executive Chairman to involve other functions or other heads of structures at Company and Group level with regard to issues falling within their respec- tive remit;
  • prepares reports or other documents instrumental to the information flows to be for- warded to the Board of Directors, including based on the material, if any, collected from the other functions or other heads of the relevant structures;
  • ensures that the Policy is made available to the public on the Company's website.

The Head of Investor Relations regularly conveys to the Executive Chairman the information received and content arising from dialogue with Shareholders, investors and/or analysts.

3. DIALOGUE BETWEEN BREMBO AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, INVESTORS AND/OR ANALYSTS

3.1 General principles

The Company's main goal is to ensure that its Shareholders, investors and/or analysts have an open, constructive and fair channel for dialogue, to facilitate an understanding of the activities carried out by the Company and the Group, to share the strategic actions and visions underlying company management and define the mission that inspires the Company's operations and activities aimed at ensuring high standards of governance, while also guaranteeing respect for the law, corporate best practices and rules for processing relevant and inside information.

In carrying out this activity, it is therefore fundamental that the principles of transparency and completeness of information be assured, but it is equally important that parity of treatment between the Shareholders, investors and/or analysts will be ensured. Brembo strives that the information provided during dialogues is correct and consistent with the information already disclosed by the Company.

The Company is committed to adhering to its legal obligations relating to confidentiality and the disclosure of relevant or inside information and strives to only disclose publicly available

5

Brembo N.V. • New Governance Documents

information in bilateral contacts. It is understood that where a Shareholder or an investor or an analyst becomes aware of relevant or inside information during meetings or discussions with the Company, Brembo will perform all necessary and appropriate activity - provided for in its company procedures or the legislation in effect from time to time - to ensure compliance with the provisions governing the public disclosure and management of such informa- tion, and market abuse regulations. In order to act in full accordance with laws, regulations and internal rules, and to ensure fairness and symmetry of information for its Shareholders, investors and/or analysts, the Company may undertake all necessary activity, including:

  • publishing press releases;
  • requesting that the Shareholder, investor and/or analyst in question signs a confidenti- ality agreement;
  • undertaking, where necessary, judicial actions to protect its interests.

For further details on procedures for handling relevant and inside information by the Com- pany, please refer to the "Procedure for Handling Inside and Relevant Information" available on the Company's website www.brembo.com, section Company, Corporate Governance, Governance Documents.

3.2 Assessment criteria

Dialogue may be initiated at the request of the Shareholders, investors and/or analysts, or at the initiative of the Company, and is implemented, in the interest and on behalf of the Company, solely by the parties identified in this Policy.

The Company will determine at its sole discretion whether to accept invitations to engage in bilateral contacts with Shareholders, investors and/or analysts. The Company will take into serious consideration all reasonable requests from Shareholders, investors and/or analysts. The Company will take into account the interest of the Company and all stakeholders when deciding whether to enter into a bilateral conversation.

With the support of the Head of Investor Relations, the Executive Chairman performs preliminary activities, assessing, from time to time, whether the individual requests by the Requesting Parties meet the requirements for establishing dialogue, considering various fac- tors, such as:

  • the relevance of the subject-matter for the other Shareholders, investors and/or analysts as well, in view of creating value in the medium-long term, sustainable success or imple- mentation of high standards of governance;
  • any prior requests regarding the same subjects;
  • the characteristics and size of the investment by the Requesting Parties who ask to es- tablish a dialogue;
  • the reasons cited by the Requesting Parties and the presence of potential conflicts of interest;
  • the recommendations of the proxy advisors, voting policies or engagement policies of the asset managers and/or the outcome of previous shareholders' meeting voting.

In order to assess whether a conversation with a Shareholder could be in the interest of the Company and its stakeholders, the Company may request such Shareholder to provide certain (written) information prior to a bilateral conversation taking place. This information can include the objective of the conversation, the matters to be discussed, the opinion of the Shareholder on these matters and information in respect of the Shareholder and its full share position (long and short and through derivatives) in the Company.
