The CGM delegated to the Board of Directors the power (i) to record the exercise price equal to the closing market value on the issuance date of the Director Warrants, (ii) to ascertain the completion of the capital increase relating to the subscription of the Director Warrant, (iii) increase share capital by a maximum nominal amount of €12,600 with respect to 1,260,000 Director Warrants, and subsequently (iv) to record the successive increases in share capital as a result of the exercise of the Director Warrants, and to carry out all formalities required as a result thereof.

The Board of Directors, in their meeting of June [●], 2023, did record the exercise price and ascertain the increase of the share capital.

The CGM, having eliminated the preferred subscription right of shareholders to the Director Warrants, fully reserved subscription of these Director Warrants for the subscribers designated by the CGM.

The purpose of this Director Warrants issuance agreement (the “Issuance Agreement”) is to define the terms and conditions governing the Director Warrants issued to each Holder with a vesting period.

The parties AGREE AS FOLLOWS


Title 1. SUBSCRIPTION AND FEATURES OF Director Warrants

Article 1. Holder of Director Warrants

The Holder is a physical person being a non-executive member of the Company's Board of Directors, designated by the CGM.

The number of Director Warrants allocated to each Holder is 180,000, as provided in the recitals.

Article 2. Allotment and subscription of Director Warrants.

The Director Warrants proposed to the Holders shall be subscribed at the price of [0.00000714] euro per Director Warrant (i.e. [1.28] euros for the 180,000 Director Warrants allotted to each Holder), price which shall be paid on subscription, either by mean of a payment in cash or by way of a set-off with a debt.

The number of Director Warrants allotted to Holder shall be indicated in an Individual Notification Letter sent to him/her by the Chairman; the subscription of such shall be done no later than 10 days from the receipt of the aforesaid letter, by returning to the Company

- the Director Warrants subscription form duly signed,
- as well as a copy of this Issuance Agreement attached to said letter, after the Holder has duly executed said copies.

Failure to comply with this major formality within the applicable period – except in the event of Force Majeure - shall render the Director Warrants issued immediately and automatically void.

Article 3. Features and period of validity of Director Warrants – Conditions of exercise

Provided they are subscribed for by the Holder, Director Warrants are granted for a period of 10 years as from June 27, 2023, date of their issuance by the CGM.

Director Warrants will vest on the first anniversary of their issuance, i.e. June 27, 2024, provided that the Holder still is a Director or is a member of the Strategic Advisory Board on that date (the “Vesting Period”), and must be exercised within the aforementioned maximum period of 10 years. For the sake of clarity, the Holder is entitled to exercise at any time and without restriction all or part of his/her fully vested Director Warrants as from June 27, 2024 until June 27, 2033 as documented in the Individual Notification Letter.

Exercising a Director Warrant entitles the Holder to subscribe for one ordinary share of the Company’s share capital.

This number of shares cannot be modified during the Director Warrants period of validity, except in the event of an adjustment in the subscription price and any other adjustments in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.




Any Director Warrant that is not exercised by the expiry of the aforementioned 10-year period shall be null and void.

Article 4. Setting of the exercise price for shares covered by the Director Warrants

The CGM decided that the exercise price for shares to be issued pursuant to an exercise of the Director Warrants shall be equal, based on the current share/ADS ratio, to 1/4th of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of a Company ADS on June 27, 2023.

This subscription price – with respect to this Director Warrants Issuance Agreement - is set in the amount of USD [l] per share (ADS); the counter value in Euros shall be determined on the exercise date of the Director Warrants. The par value of each share is EUR 0.01.

This price may not be changed during the Director Warrants period of validity, except in the event of adjustments in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Article 5. Termination of the mandate of non-executive Board member of the Company - Exceptions

5.1 In the event the Holder no longer holds his/her mandate as non-executive Board member of the Company on the first anniversary of issuance, the Holder shall lose any and all rights with regard to his/her Director Warrants which shall all become null and void, subject to clause 5.2.

5.2 In the event the Holder, whose mandate as non-executive Board member of the Company is terminated for whatever reason, is appointed member of the Strategic Advisory Board on or before the date of termination of the aforesaid mandate, all rights with regard to his/her Director Warrants shall remain in force as if the Holder was a Board member of the Company.

In the event the Holder no longer holds his/her position as member of the Strategic Advisory Board on the first anniversary of issuance, the Holder shall lose any and all rights with regard to his/her Director Warrants which shall become null and void.

5.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of article 5.1 and 5.2 above,

in the event of death of the Holder, all Director Warrants subscribed by the Holder and not yet exercisable would nevertheless become exercisable by his/her heirs or beneficiaries from the effective death date, notwithstanding the Vesting Period set forth under article 3 above, allowing said heirs or beneficiaries to exercise any and all remaining Director Warrants, provided that such exercise occurs within a period of 6 months following the aforesaid death.

should the Company be subject to an acquisition by a third party, all Director Warrants subscribed by the Holder and not yet exercisable would nevertheless become exercisable from the effective date of such change of control, notwithstanding the Vesting Period set forth under article 3 above, allowing said Holder to exercise any and all remaining Director Warrants, provided that such exercise occurs within a period of 90 days following the aforesaid acquisition.


Title 2. RIGHT OF EXERCISE – SUSPENSION – FORMALITIES – SHARES SUBSCRIBED

Article 6. Suspension of the rights to exercise Director Warrants

If necessary, the Board of Directors may suspend the right to exercise the Director Warrants. In particular, a suspension may be ordered whenever a transaction concerning the Company’s share capital requires knowing in advance the exact number of shares that make up share capital or in the event that one of the financial transactions requiring an adjustment is carried out.

In such case, the Company shall inform the Holders of the Director Warrants, indicating the date of the suspension and the date on which the right to exercise Director Warrants will be re-established. Such suspension may not exceed 3 months.

If the right to exercise a Director Warrant expires during a period in which rights are suspended, the period for exercising the Director Warrants shall be extended by 3 months.

Article 7. Conditions of exercise of Director Warrants

All requests for exercising Director Warrants, documented by the signature of the corresponding subscription certificate, shall be sent to the Company, and must be accompanied by a cheque or a money transfer made out to the Company's order in an



amount corresponding to the number of shares subscribed. Alternatively, Director Warrants may be exercised via any on-line equity incentives system which may be put in place by the Company.

Shares subscribed must be, at the time of subscription, either fully paid up in cash or by way of a set-off with a debt. Failure to do so renders the subscription of shares null and void.

Article 8. Delivery and form of shares

Shares acquired by exercising Director Warrants are registered in the books of the Company as registered shares.

Article 9. Rights and availability of shares

The ordinary shares shall be subject to all provisions of the by-laws and shall enjoy all rights pertaining to shares of such class as from the date the increase in share capital is completed.
