ENTITLEMENT TO PARTICIPATE AND TO EXERCISE VOTING RIGHTS. DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE.

Please note that due to the crisis arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, and therefore in compliance with the fundamental principles of health protection for shareholders, employees, representatives and consultants of the Company, as well as in compliance with the Decree, the meeting will be held with participation at the Shareholders' Meeting, for those persons admitted, exclusively by means of telecommunications and that the share capital may in any case intervene exclusively through the Designated Representative under Article 135-undecies of Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998, no. 58 (the "TUF") in the manner described below, being excluded the access to the meeting rooms.

Holders of the right to vote have the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting - exclusively through the Designated Representative, in accordance with the regulatory framework in force.

In this regard, pursuant to Article 83-sexies of the TUF, the entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and to exercise voting rights is certified by a communication to the Company, made by an intermediary authorised under the applicable regulations in accordance with its accounting records, in favour of the person entitled to vote, based on the evidence at the end of the accounting day on the seventh trading day

preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting at first call (i.e. November 30th 2021). Those who hold shares in the Company only after that date will not be entitled to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. The communication from the intermediary referred to in this point must be received by the Company by the end of the third trading day preceding the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting on first call (i.e. by December 6 th, 2021). This is without prejudice to entitlement to attend and exercise voting rights (exclusively through the Designated Representative) if the communications have been received by the Company after this deadline, provided that they are received by the start of the proceedings of the single-callMeeting.

The Company has identified Computershare S.p.A, with registered office in Milan, as its designated representative ("Designated Representative"), to which shareholders may grant, without their own expense, except in relation to the transmission of the proxy, voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the TUF.

As indicated above, Shareholders who intend to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting must therefore grant the Designated Representative a proxy - with voting instructions - on all or some of the proposals for resolutions concerning items on the agenda, using the appropriate proxy form, including electronic proxy, produced by the Designated Representative in agreement with the Company, which is available on the Company website at www.rdmgroup.com (Governance Section/Shareholders' Meeting) where there is a link to a procedure for the electronic forwarding of the proxy.

The proxy form with voting instructions must be submitted according to the instructions on the form and on the Company's website by the second open market day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. by December 7th,2021 for the first call or by December 8th, 2021 in the event of a second call and by the same deadline the proxy may be revoked.

The proxy thus granted shall be effective only for proposals on which voting instructions have been provided for.

It should also be noted that the Designated Representative may also be granted proxies or sub-delegations pursuant to Article 135-novies of the TUF, in derogation of Article 135-undecies, paragraph 4 of the TUF by following the instructions indicated in the form available on the Company website at www.rdmgroup.com (Governance Section /Shareholders' Meeting). Taking into account the ongoing emergency, proxies can be granted by December 8th, 2021 for the first call or by December 9th,2021 in the event of a second call. By the same methods, those entitled may revoke, within the same term, the proxy/sub-delegation and the voting instructions granted.

The Designated Representative will be available for clarification or information at the number 0246776814 or at the e-mail address ufficiomi@computershare.it.

Shareholders are informed that the Company reserves the right to integrate and/or modify the above instructions in consideration of the intervening needs following the current epidemiological emergency situation from COVID-19 and its currently unforeseeable developments.
