  1. ISSUER PROFILE

    Established in 1884, the Issuer, having its registered office in Pontedera (Pisa), is now one of the leading world manufacturers of two-wheeler motor vehicles.

    The Issuer is ranked among the top 4 operators in the reference market; the range of vehicles includes scooters, mopeds and motorcycles from 50cc to 1,200cc produced and marketed under the Piaggio®, Vespa®, Gilera®, Aprilia®, Moto Guzzi® trademarks, in addition to two-wheelers sold under the Derbi® and Moto Laverda® trademarks. The Issuer also manufactures and distributes 3- and 4-wheeler Commercial Vehicles under the Ape® and Piaggio Porter NP® trademarks.

    During the Financial Year, the issuer was organised according to the single system of administration and control referred to in Article 2409-sexiesdecies and following of the Civil Code with the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors and the Management Control Committee as the Company's control body, as resolved by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 April 2024, which also approved the consequent amendments to the Articles of Association. The single system of administration and control is in force as of the date of this Report.

    With regard to the composition, functioning and characteristics of the Board of Directors, the Board Committees as well as the Management Control Committee, please refer to the more detailed information provided below in this Report.

    The Board of Directors, as part of the process to align with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code, promotes the integration of sustainability issues into its corporate governance system and remuneration policy, in the terms described below in the Report. For more information on the sustainability policies adopted by the Issuer and the Group, please refer to the Sustainability Reporting and Code of Ethics published on the issuer's website under the Section "Governance - Code of Ethics".

    The Board of Directors guides the Issuer with the aim of pursuing its sustainable success, an objective that takes the form of the creation of long-term value for the benefit of shareholders, taking into account the interests of other stakeholders relevant to the issuer, all as better explained in sections 4.1, 6, 8 and 9 below.

    Pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 125 of 6 September 2024, the Issuer prepares on a mandatory basis the Sustainability Report, which presents the main policies practiced by the company, the management models and the main activities carried out by the Group during the Financial Year in relation to the issues expressly referred to by the aforementioned decree.

    It should be noted that, on the Report Date, the Issuer qualified as an 'SME' pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 1, letter w-quater.1, TUF, as the capitalisation of the Company, calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 2-ter of the Consob Regulation on Issuers1 - although above the threshold of €1 billion in 2023 - was lower than this threshold in 2024. In this regard, it should be noted that, pursuant to the aforementioned Article 1, paragraph 1, letter w-quater.1, TUF, the definition of SME works on a residual basis, as issuers of listed shares that have not exceeded the limit of €1 billion in capitalisation for three consecutive years qualify as SMEs. Finally, it is noted that in the Financial Year, the capitalization was equal to € 689 million.

    Based on the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, on the Report Date the Issuer was not classified as a Large Company but as a Concentrated Ownership Company (see Sections 4.3 and 7.2 of the Report for the flexibility options used). For this purpose, the Company is not required to apply the recommendations of the GC Code addressed to Large Companies.

    1 Pursuant to Article 2-ter of the Issuers' Regulation, and therefore for the purposes of the Level of SME, the capitalisation corresponds to the simple average of the daily capitalisations calculated with reference to the official price, recorded during the year.

      Authorisations to acquire and dispose of treasury shares

      On 15 April 2025, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved to authorise transactions for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares - subject to the revocation of a similar authorisation granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of 17 April 2024 - in order to provide the Company with a useful strategic investment opportunity for any purpose permitted by the applicable regulations, including the purposes set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, hereinafter "MAR") and in the practices permitted by Consob pursuant to Article 13 of MAR, where applicable, including the purpose of purchasing treasury shares for their subsequent cancellation, under the terms and in the manner that may be resolved by the competent company boards.

      In particular, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved the following:

      1. to authorise, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2357 of the Civil Code, the purchase, on one or more occasions, for a period of eighteen months as from the date of the resolution, of ordinary shares of the Company up to a maximum number which, taking into account the Piaggio ordinary shares held from time to time in the portfolio by the Company and its Subsidiaries, does not in aggregate exceed the maximum established by applicable regulations in force at the time, at a consideration that is not higher than the greater of the price of the last independent transaction and the highest current independent offer price in the trading venues where the purchase is made, it being understood that the unit consideration may not in any case be less than 20% below or more than 10% above the arithmetic mean of the official Piaggio share prices recorded in the ten open market days preceding each individual purchase transaction;

      2. to authorise the Board of Directors, and on its behalf the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, each acting separately, to identify the amount of shares to be purchased in relation to each purchase programme, within the purposes indicated above, prior to the start of the programme itself, and to proceed with the purchase of shares in accordance with the procedures established in the applicable provisions of the Issuers' Regulation implementing Article 132 of the TUF, in compliance with the conditions relating to trading set out in Articles 3 and 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, and timed as best suits the interests of the Company, granting the broadest powers for the execution of the purchase transactions referred to in this resolution, as well as any other formalities relating thereto, including the possible appointment of intermediaries authorised by law and with the power to appoint special attorneys-in-fact;

      3. to authorise the Board of Directors, and on its behalf the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, each acting separately, so that, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2357-ter of the Civil Code, they may dispose, at any time, in whole or in part, in one or more tranches, of the treasury shares purchased pursuant to the resolution, or otherwise already in the Company's portfolio, by means of disposal of the same on or off the stock exchange, possibly also by assignment of real and/or personal rights, including, by way of example only, the loan of securities, in compliance with the laws and regulations in force at the time and for the pursuit of the purposes set out in this resolution, with the terms, procedures and conditions of the disposal of treasury shares deemed most appropriate in the interests of the Company, granting the broadest powers for the execution of the disposal transactions referred to in this resolution, as well as any other formalities relating thereto, including the possible appointment of intermediaries authorised by law and with the power

      to appoint special attorneys-in-fact; disposals of treasury shares held in the portfolio will, in any case, be effected in compliance with laws and regulations in force governing the execution of orders for the trading of listed securities, including practices permitted in accordance with Article 13 of the MAR, and may occur in one or more tranches, timed as best suits the interests of the Company. The authorisation referred to in this point has been granted without time limits and shall also be deemed to have been granted with reference to treasury shares already held by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. at the date of the resolution.

      At the Shareholders' Meeting, it was also established that purchases of treasury shares must be contained within the limits of the distributable profits and reserves available following the latest financial statements (including interim statements), approved at the time of execution of the transaction. It was also stipulated that, upon purchase and disposal of treasury shares, the necessary accounting entries must be made, in compliance with the provisions of the law and of applicable accounting standards.

      Pursuant to the aforementioned mandate, the Board of Directors' meeting held on 15 April 2025, following the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting, approved the start of a new programme for the purchase of treasury shares, not yet completed on the Report Date, to be carried out under the terms, conditions and in the manner referred to in the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting resolution also in several tranches by 14 October 2026 and up to a maximum of 21,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company, with no stated par value, for a maximum value established at Euro 41,500,000, taking into account the average share price of the last 30 trading days, and therefore, contained within the limits of the law (20% of the Share capital, pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code).

      During the Year, 1,199,500 Treasury shares were purchased, therefore as of 31 December 2025, the Company held 2,236,161 Treasury shares, equal to 0.6306% of the chare capital, while as at the Report Date, the Treasury shares in the portfolio were

      2.285.007 equal to 0,6443% of the Share capital.

4.2 APPOINTMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF DIRECTORS ( pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 1, letter l), first part, TUF)

This section describes the system for appointing the members of the management board as provided for by the Articles of Association currently in force (Article 13), last amended, as mentioned, by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of the Issuer on 17 April 2024, drawn up by public deed and adopted pursuant to the provisions of Article 2365 of the Civil Code.

The Articles of Association of the Issuer are in line with regulations on gender balance in the composition of the management board pursuant to Article 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, TUF, as well as the new wording of Article 144-undecies.1 of the Issuers' Regulation2. Therefore, according to the aforementioned legislation applicable as at the Report Date, at least two-fifths of the elected members must be of the underrepresented gender.

The Company is governed by a Board of Directors composed of a number of members not less than 7 (seven) and not more than 15 (fifteen). The Shareholders' Meeting is required to determine, at the time of their appointment, the number of Board members within the aforementioned limits, as well as their term of office that may not exceed three financial years, whereafter their appointment expires as at the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements for the last financial year of their office. Board directors may be re-elected.

Pursuant to Article 13 paragraph 2 of the Articles of Association, persons who have not gained at least three years experience in the following may not be appointed as directors of the Company or, if appointed, shall be disqualified:

  1. administration and control activities or management tasks in corporations with a capital of not less than €2 million; or

  2. professional activities or a tenured university position in legal, economic, financial and technical-scientific fields strictly related to company operations; or

  3. management roles in public entities or administrations active in the banking, finance, and insurance industries, or in any closely related sectors to the company's business.

2 Paragraph 1-ter, of Article 147-ter, of the TUF in force as at the Report Date provides, among other things, that "the underrepresented gender must obtain at least two fifths of the elected directors. This allocation criterion applies for six consecutive terms." In addition, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 144-undecies.1 of the Issuers' Regulation, as last amended by Consob Resolution no. 21359 of 13 May 2020, "if a whole number of members of the management or supervisory boards belonging to the less represented gender does not result from the application of the criterion of allocation between genders, this number is rounded to the upper unit, with the exception of company boards formed by three members for which the rounding is by default to the lower unit ."

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Directors must meet the requirements of applicable regulations in force at the time; at least one third (with a minimum in any case of three, and without prejudice to any greater minimum number provided for by legislation applicable at the time) shall meet the independence requirements referred to in Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF, and of these at least three shall meet the requirements established by Article 148, paragraph 4, TUF. In addition to the above, at least one of the latter shall be a registered statutory auditor.

If a Director no longer has the prescribed requisites his or her term of office shall immediately expire. If a Director falls short of the independence requirement referred to in Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF, his or her term of office does not expire if the minimum number of Directors required by current regulations and the Articles of Association still meet the aforesaid requirement.

Pursuant to Article 13.3 of the Articles of Association of the Issuer, Directors are appointed by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the applicable regulations in force at the time concerning the balance between genders, based on the lists submitted by Shareholders in which candidates are listed with a sequential number. Each shareholder, as well as shareholders who are parties to a significant shareholders' agreement pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF, as well as the parent company, subsidiaries and those subject to joint control pursuant to Article 93, TUF, may not submit or take part in submitting, even through a proxy or trust company, more than one list, nor may they vote for different lists. The endorsements and votes cast in breach of such prohibition shall not be assigned to any list.

Only Shareholders who, alone or together with others, represent at least 2.5% (two point five per cent) of the share capital, or a different lower percentage that may be established by legal or regulatory provisions, are entitled to present lists. With the executive decision of the Head of the Issuers' Supervision Division no. 155 of 27 January 2026, Consob determined the shareholding required for the presentation of lists of candidates for the election of the Issuer's Board of Directors at 2.5% (two point five) of the share capital. The lists of candidates for the office of Director must be filed by Shareholders at the registered office, without prejudice to any additional forms of advertising and filing procedures prescribed by regulatory provisions, including regulatory provisions in force at the time, at least 25 (twenty-five) clear days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting in first call; for the purposes of submission of the list, ownership of the shareholding required is determined having regard to the shares registered in the name of the shareholder on the day on which the lists are filed with the Issuer; certification of the same can also be submitted subsequent to filing the list, provided that this takes place within the deadline for the publication of such lists.

Together with each list, the following shall be filed at the registered office, without prejudice to any other applicable regulations in force at the time: (i) information concerning the identity of the Shareholders who presented the list; (ii) an abridged curriculum vitae of the candidates included in the list regarding the personal and professional characteristics of each candidate; as well as (iii) the declarations made by each candidate whereby they accept their candidacy and attest, under their responsibility, that there are no grounds for ineligibility and incompatibility, and whereby they possess the requisites prescribed by law and the Articles of Association for their respective positions, and that they are fit to qualify as independent Directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF. Lists that fail to comply with the aforesaid legal provisions shall be deemed as not having been submitted. The lists shall also be subject to other forms of publicity provided for by the laws and regulations in force at the time.

Each candidate may be included in one list only, under penalty of ineligibility. Without prejudice to any other ground of ineligibility or forfeiture of right, no candidates may be included in the lists who do not possess the requisites prescribed by legal regulations, the Articles of Association or other provisions applicable to their respective positions.

Pursuant to Article 13.3 of the Articles of Association of the Issuer, each list may contain a number of candidates up to the maximum number of members of the Board of Directors and, among these, at least one candidate that meets the independence requirements referred to in Article 13.2 of the Articles of Association.

Lists with a number of candidates equal to or greater than three must be composed of candidates belonging to both genders, in accordance with applicable regulations in force at the time relating to gender balance.

If minority lists are presented, 1 (one) Director is appointed from these lists, as described below.

The appointment mechanism adopted for choosing candidates nominated in different lists is as follows:

  1. all the Directors but one are selected from the list that obtained the highest number of the votes in the sequential order in which they appear;

  2. the first candidate that meets the requirements to sit on the Management Control Committee is taken, in consecutive order, from the minority list that is not in any way, not even indirectly, linked with the shareholders who presented or voted the list referred to in point a) and that received the most votes.

If the list at point b) did not obtain a percentage of votes equal to at least half of the required percentage, pursuant to what has been stated above, for the purpose of presenting the very same list, all the Directors to be appointed will be selected from the list at point a).

If the candidates elected in the manner indicated above do not ensure the appointment of a number of Directors meeting the independence requirements referred to in Article 158, paragraph 3, TUF, equal to the minimum number established by law and by the Articles of Association, three of whom also meet the additional requirements for the members of the Management Control Committee, the candidate who does not meet the aforementioned requirements elected as the last in consecutive order in the list that obtained the highest number of votes, referred to in point a) above, will be replaced by the first non-elected candidate of the other lists meeting these requirements, according to the number of votes obtained by each. This replacement procedure will take place until the Board is composed of the minimum number of directors that meet the independence requirements referred to in Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF, in accordance with the provisions of the law and the Articles of Association, three of whom also meet the additional requirements for the members of the Management Control Committee.

Should said procedure not ensure the result indicated in the foregoing, the substitution shall take place by a resolution passed by a relative majority at a Shareholders' Meeting, subject to the presentation of candidatures for persons having the above mentioned requisites.

If, in addition, the candidates elected in the manner described above, do not ensure a composition of the Board of Directors compliant with applicable regulations in force at the time concerning the balance between genders, the candidate of the more represented gender elected as last in the sequential order in the list that received the most votes shall be replaced by the first candidate of the less represented gender not elected from the same list according to the sequential order. This replacement procedure is repeated until a composition of the Board of Directors compliant with applicable regulations in force at the time concerning the balance between genders has been ensured. If the aforementioned procedure does not ensure the last result indicated, the replacement will take place by resolution passed by the Shareholders' Meeting by relative majority, subject to the presentation of candidates belonging to the less represented gender.

Pursuant to Article 13.4 of the Articles of Association, in the event that a single list is presented or in the event that no list is presented, the Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the legal majorities, without observing the procedure provided for above, in such a way as to ensure (i) the presence of the minimum number of independent directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF required by the Articles of Association, three of whom meet the additional requirements provided for by current legislation and by the Articles of Association for members of the Management Control Committee and (ii) compliance with applicable regulations in force at the time regarding gender balance.

If during the financial year one or more Directors leave office, provided that the majority is always made up of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, replacement shall be made, pursuant to Article 2386 of the Civil Code, as specified below:

  1. the Board of Directors appoints the replacements from among the candidates (who are still eligible) belonging to the same list to which the Director leaving office belonged, and the Shareholders' Meeting resolves, with the legal majorities, in any case to ensure (i) the presence of the minimum number of independent directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF required by the Articles of Association, three of whom meet the additional requirements provided for by current legislation and by the Articles of Association for members of the Management Control Committee and (ii) compliance with applicable regulations in force at the time regarding gender balance;

  2. if no previously unelected candidates remain on the aforementioned list, or candidates that meet the requirements, or even when a single list is presented or no list is presented, the Board shall replace the Directors who no longer hold office without complying with the provisions of point a), as provided for by the Shareholders' Meeting always with the majority required by law, in any case to ensure (i) the presence of the minimum number of independent directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF required by the Articles of Association, three of whom meet the additional requirements provided for by current legislation and by the Articles of Association for members of the Management Control Committee and (ii) compliance with applicable regulations in force at the time regarding gender balance.

If a majority of the directors appointed by the shareholders leave office, the entire Board of Directors will be required to resign and a Shareholders' Meeting called by the remaining directors for the appointment of a new Board.

If during the year one or more Directors are not in office, provided that the majority is always made up of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, the Shareholders' Meeting may resolve to reduce the number of members of the Board to that of the Directors in office for the remaining period of their mandate, in any case to ensure (i) the presence of the minimum number of independent directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF required by the Articles of Association, three of whom possess the additional requirements provided for by current legislation and by the Articles of Association for members of the Management Control Committee and (ii) compliance with applicable regulations in force at the time regarding gender balance.

Pursuant to Article 13.7 of the Articles of Association, if the number of Directors has been determined to a lesser extent than provided above, the Shareholders' Meeting, during the period in office of the Board, may increase this number within the maximum limit provided.

The other members of the Board will be appointed according to the following procedure:

  1. the additional Directors are drawn from the list that obtained the largest number of votes cast on the occasion of the appointment of the members currently in office, among the candidates who are still eligible and the Shareholders' Meeting resolves, with the legal majorities, in such a way as to ensure (i) the presence of the minimum number of independent directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF required by the Articles of Association, three of whom meet the additional requirements provided for by current legislation and by these Articles of Association for members of the Management Control Committee and (ii) compliance with applicable regulations in force at the time regarding gender balance;

  2. if no previously unelected candidates remain from the aforementioned list, or in the event that a single list is presented or in the event that no list is presented, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve on an appointment without observing the provisions of point a), with the legal majorities, in such a way as to ensure (i) the presence of the minimum number of independent directors pursuant to Article 148, paragraph 3, TUF required by the Articles of Association, three of whom meet the additional requirements provided for by current legislation and by these Articles of Association for members of the Management Control Committee and (ii) compliance with applicable regulations in force at the time regarding gender balance.

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, there is no possibility for the outgoing Board to present a list.

The Board shall also meet the requirements of Article 16, paragraph 1, letter d), of the Consob Markets Regulation that establishes - for companies subject to the management and coordination of another Italian company listed on regulated markets - the requirement of a Board to have a majority of members consisting of independent directors.

      Criteria and policies for diversity in the composition of the Board and in the company organisation

      With regard to company policies on diversity applied in relation to the composition of the Board of Directors (at the end of the reporting period and as at the Report Date) regarding aspects such as age, gender composition and training and professional background (Article 123-bis, letter d-bis), TUF), the Board of Directors in office until the Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 April 2024 convened for the renewal of the company boards, at the meeting of 4 March 2024, on the proposal of the Appointment Proposal Committee, provided guidance (also in accordance with Recommendation 23 of the Corporate Governance Code, although addressed to companies other than Concentrated Ownership Companies such as Piaggio) and some indications for shareholders regarding the policy on diversity in the composition of the management board (also in accordance with Principle VII and Recommendation 8 of the Corporate Governance Code).

      In particular, the Board of Directors in office until the Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 April 2024, taking into account the results of the self-assessment referred to in Section 7 below, decided to provide the following guidance, included in the explanatory report prepared pursuant to Article 125-ter of the TUF relating to the appointment of the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements:

    • taking into account the size and activity of the Company, the number of Directors who made up the management board in office until 17 April 2024, i.e. 9 (nine) Directors, is considered adequate;

    • the Directors must met the requirements of professional expertise indicated by the previous Article 12.2 of the Articles of Association;

    • in accordance with legislation on gender balance, at least two fifths of the elected Directors (rounded up to the next higher unit) must belong to the underrepresented gender;

    • pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of the Consob Markets Regulation, the majority of the Directors must meet the requirements of independence pursuant to the law and the Code of Corporate Governance, also in order to guarantee the correct composition of the Board Committees and the Management Control Committee: meeting the requirements of independence must be assessed mainly with regard to aspects of substance, also taking into due consideration the importance of continuity in the company's business;

    • as regards the policies on diversity (Article 123-bis, letter d-bis), TUF), it is considered appropriate, also in order to facilitate the understanding of the organisation of the Company and its activities, as well as the development of its efficient governance that, without prejudice to the legal requirement regarding gender balance: (a) the Board is characterised by the diversity of its members; and (b) the educational and professional career of Directors guarantees a balanced combination of profiles and experiences, suitable to ensure the correct performance of its functions;

    • it is up to each candidate to evaluate the compatibility of taking on the office of Director in the Company with any additional offices of director and statutory auditor held in other companies listed on regulated markets or of significant size;

    • with regard to the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as well as the balance between executive and non-executive members, it is considered that (a) the Chairman is a member with (i) authority to carry out the office or, in any case, characteristics such as to ensure a correct and transparent management of the functioning of the Board of Directors during the term of office, thus representing a figure capable of enhancing the interests of all Shareholders, as well as a reference for the management of dialogue with the latter and stakeholders; (ii) the ability to promote the integration of the different skills and experiences of the Directors by working in synergy with the Chief Executive Officer. It is also considered appropriate for the Chairman to be the recipient, in addition to the powers provided for this role by law, by the Articles of Association and by the Board of Directors' Rules, of proxies in the context of institutional relations and, with the Chief Executive Officer, in the context of the definition of the strategic plan; (b) the Chief Executive Officer - who should be given broad-ranging management powers - should have, in addition to authority, entrepreneurial skills and sensitivity about sustainability issues, knowledge of the Company's business and previous management experience of listed companies; (c) all the other Directors should be non-executive pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, also with a view to ensuring their profitable contribution to the company's strategic decisions, especially with reference to potential situations of conflict of interest.

    For more information regarding the guidance on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the Board of Directors considered optimal, provided by the Board of Directors in office until the Shareholders' Meeting of 17 April 2024, please refer to the explanatory report prepared by the same body pursuant to Article 125-ter of the TUF relating to the appointment of the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2023 and published on the issuer's website https://www.piaggiogroup.com in the Section "Governance - Shareholders' Meeting", also taking into account the proposal to adopt the single-tier governance system pursuant to Article 2409-sexiesdecies of the Civil Code (see section 1 "Profile of the Issuer").

    With reference to the composition of the Board of Directors in office at the end of the reporting period, and as of the Report Date, the following is noted: (i) in the Board of Directors of the Company there are 5 Directors belonging to the underrepresented gender, in accordance with current legislation on gender balance which requires at least two fifths of the Board of Directors to be of the under-represented gender (rounded up to the next whole number); (ii) Board members vary in age, from 76 to 50 years; (iii) the educational and professional backgrounds of the directors ensure a balanced combination of member profiles and experiences within the management board, with members selected in order to ensure that all functions thereof are executed correctly.

    It should be noted that the Company promotes inclusion, equal treatment and opportunities between genders within the entire company organisation, as required by its Code of Ethics and Sustainability Reporting. For more details, also pursuant to the provisions of the ESRS 2 - Par. 24, please refer to the Sustainability Report, and the Sections "Governance" and "Social Information - Personnel Management Policies".

    Maximum accumulation of offices held in other companies

    The Board of Directors has not considered defining general criteria regarding the maximum number of administrative and control positions in other companies that can be considered compatible with the actual performance of the role of Director of the Issuer (also taking into account that Recommendation 15 of the CG Code, which recommends guidance on the maximum number of positions for the management board, is addressed only to Large Companies ), and without prejudice to the duty of each Director to assess the compatibility of the positions of director and member of the control body, held in other companies listed on regulated markets or of significant size, with the diligent performance of the tasks undertaken as Director of the issuer.

    During the meeting held on 5 March 2026, the Board, based on the outcome of reviewing the offices presently held by its Directors in other stock companies, considered that the number and standing of the offices held do not interfere and are therefore compatible with an effective conduct of the office of Director of the Issuer.

    With reference to the offices assumed by the Issuer's Directors in the Parent Company IMMSI S.p.A., the majority of the Issuer's Board members do not hold administrative and management appointments in IMMSI S.p.A. and in the group of which it is parent company.

    Below is the list of the companies in which each Director holds management or control appointments, indicating whether the company in which the appointment is held is part of the group of which the Issuer is Parent or forms a part.

    Induction Programme

    In line with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code on the effective and mindful performance of the role of each Director, the Chairman promotes the continuous updating of the Directors on corporate and market scenarios, as well as on the main legislative and regulatory developments concerning the Issuer and its Group, ensuring that all members of the management and supervisory boards can participate, after appointment and during the mandate, in initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the sectors of activity in which the company operates, of company dynamics and their evolution also with a view to the sustainable success of the company itself, as well as the principles of correct risk management and the applicable regulatory and self-governance framework (Article 3, Recommendation 12, letter d).

    In particular, during the year the aforementioned matters referred to in Article 3, Recommendation 12, letter d) of the Corporate Governance Code were regularly discussed during the meetings of the Board of Directors, after consideration, where appropriate, in the meetings of the Internal Control Risk and Sustainability Committee.

    The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company also ensured that the Directors received comprehensive information and explanations about the activities of the group led by the Issuer. This was achieved by organising dedicated meetings between the Company's senior management and the Directors, providing them with a thorough understanding of the relevant regulatory and self-regulatory frameworks.

    In particular, the following induction sessions were held in 2025, which were considered particularly useful and therefore appreciated by the Board members, particularly the independent directors:

    • on 21 May 2025, an induction session conducted by the management of the competent structures at the production plant located in Pontedera (PI), aimed at providing the Directors of Piaggio and the Parent company IMMSI S.p.A., as well as the members of the related Supervisory Bodies, with timely updates on the Research and Development and Product Marketing activities relating to the sectors in which the Company and the Group operate, in light of company dynamics and the evolution of the corporate structure. This training session provided in-depth information on the main topics of interest related to research and development and the production cycle of two-wheelers and three/four-wheelers, and then culminated with a visit to the production plant and the Piaggio Museum in Pontedera;

    • on 18 December 2025, an induction session dedicated to an overview and an examination of the employer structure used by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. in accordance with Legislative Decree 81/08, as well as an in-depth analysis of the main issues relating to the Health and Safety of Workers. The aforementioned session was managed and conducted by the management of the competent structures and sector experts. also

    • on 18 December 2025, an induction session dedicated to an update on the relevant regulatory and legislative framework and, in particular, on the main contents and obligations imposed on Piaggio & C. S.p.a. by EU Directive 2022/2555 ('NIS2') in the field of cybersecurity. The aforementioned session was managed and conducted by the management of the competent structures.

    Throughout the year, the directors had the opportunity to enhance their understanding of the automotive industry by participating in board meetings. These meetings provided a platform for thorough discussions on matters pertaining to the company's operations and their progression; as well as (ii) the relevant legal, regulatory and self-regulatory framework. In particular, the directors received detailed information on the changes introduced by Legislative Decree no. 125/2024 implementing the CSRD, with particular reference to the extension of the scope of the sustainability reporting obligations and the obligation, in force from the current year, to prepare the Sustainability Report to be included in the report on operations, according to common standards defined at European level, as well as the obligation to obtain assurance for the Sustainability Report, in order to issue certification in compliance with the ESRS.

    With reference to the 2026 financial year, at the meeting on 16 January 2026, the Board of Directors reviewed the recommendations for 2026 proposed by Dr. Massimo Tononi, the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee, which were based on the conclusions of the Annual Report 2025 regarding the implementation of the Corporate Governance Code.

    The Company's management also kept in constant contact with the corporate bodies for appropriate information flows and/ or updates on issues of interest.

  2. OPERATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (pursuant to Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d), TUF)

    The management of the Company is the responsibility of the directors, who carry out the necessary operations to pursue the company object.

    Pursuant to Recommendation 11 of the Corporate Governance Code, in its meeting of 8 November 2024, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of its internal regulations (i.e. the Board of Directors' Rules), organically defining the role, activities and organisation of the meetings and regulating the operating procedures (including the procedures for taking the minutes of the meetings) of the Board of Directors and of the Management Control Committee as a control body established within the Board, providing indications to ensure the correct management of corporate information and related documentation, as well as the adequacy of information flows to the Board itself, including the procedures for the management of information to directors prior to board meetings, in addition to the statutory provisions and provisions of the law and regulations.

    In accordance also with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Company intends, in fact, to improve disclosure to the Board of Directors not only in quantitative but also qualitative terms, in order to facilitate an informed and collective participation in board meetings.

    With reference to the methods of convening, conducting and recording the minutes of board meetings, Article 15, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Articles of Association and the Board of Directors' Rules, provide that the Board is convened by the Chairman - or by his/her replacement - by letter sent, also by telefax or other suitable means of communication, to the address of each Director, at least 3 (three) days before the date set for the meeting. In urgent circumstances, Board meetings may be called by telegram, fax, electronic mail or other electronic means at least twenty-four hours before the meeting date.

    In the absence of being formally convened, the meetings of the Board of Directors shall be deemed quorate when all the members of the Board of Directors take part.

    Meetings are chaired by the Chairman or, in his absence or inability to act, by the sole Deputy Chairman, if appointed, or, in the case of more than one Deputy Chairman, by the longest-serving of them present and, in the case of equal length of service, by the most senior by age.

    Pursuant to Article 15.4 of the Articles of Association and the Board Directors' Rules, Board meetings are held at the registered office of the company or at another venue, provided it is located in Italy. Meetings may be called whenever deemed necessary by the Chairman, or person acting on his behalf in accordance with the Articles of Association, or when requested by the Chief Executive Officer, if appointed, or by at least three Board members, without prejudice to the power to call Board meetings granted to other parties in accordance with law.

    Pursuant to Article 15.5 of the Articles of Association and the Board Directors' Rules, meetings of the Board of Directors may take place, where permitted by current legislation, even only remotely through the use of audiovisual connection systems (video or conference calls), provided that all those entitled can participate and assist, can be identified and are allowed to intervene and express their opinions in real time after receiving, transmitting and viewing previously unknown documentation; the concurrent consultation by participants and passing of resolutions must also be guaranteed.

    Pursuant to Article 16 of the Articles of Association and the Board Directors' Rules, a majority of serving Board members is required at meetings for any decisions taken by the Board of Directors to be valid. Resolutions are passed with the majority of the voting members, excluding any abstainers. In the case of a tie, the vote of the person chairing the meeting prevails. Voting must be conducted by open vote. In accordance with the provisions of the Board of Directors' Rules, resolutions are recorded by minutes drawn up in summary form by the Chair of the meeting (and prepared by the same) and by the Secretary of the same, both of whom sign them.

    The Board of Directors' Rules also govern the procedures for appointing the Secretary of the Board of Directors, defining -in accordance with Recommendation 18 of the Corporate Governance Code - the professional expertise requirements and related tasks (for more information please refer to section 4.5). The Secretary of the Board of Directors, among other things, deals with the minutes of the meetings, providing for the drafting of the minutes in order to describe the board debate.

    The Board of Directors' Rules also govern the management of information given prior to board meetings: The Chairman of the Board of Directors ensures that adequate information on items on the agenda is provided to all Directors. In particular, this information is always provided in such a way as to allow the Directors to express themselves in an informed manner on the matters submitted for their examination. Any documentation relating to the items on the agenda is made available (by e-mail or by other means, such as a computer platform with security keys), at least 48 (forty-eight) hours in advance of the convened board meeting, with the sole exception of urgent cases or particular requirements of confidentiality and/or the protection of classified information (or limited dissemination) identified by the Chairman (according to his unquestionable judgement). In the latter case, the completeness and usability of information for the purposes of the discussion is however ensured during the board discussion; in particular, the Chairman ensures that adequate insights are provided during the board sessions. If the Chairman, or whoever replaces him pursuant to the Board of Directors' Rules, deems it appropriate in relation to the content of the topic and related resolution, the information documentation may be provided directly at the meeting (and withdrawn at the end of the same), giving prior notice to the members of the Board of Directors. In this case, the Chairman, with the assistance of the Secretary, ensures that adequate and timely discussions take place during the board session. The supporting documentation distributed to the Directors shall be kept in the records of the Board. During the Financial Year, the Company waived the aforementioned deadlines for reasons of urgency or confidentiality only in limited cases and in any event ensuring complete and exhaustive information at the Board meeting.

    If the documentation contains information classified as relevant, potentially sensitive or sensitive (inside information) under current legislation, the Legal & Tax Manager, as the Officer in charge of the List (Insider List or Relevant Information List), shall register the Directors in the appropriate section of the List; for more details, please refer to Section 5) below, with information on relative prohibitions and requirements. In this way, timely information is guaranteed, without prejudice to the Company's interest in preventing potential market abuse.

    The Chairman of the Board of Directors ensures that sufficient time is allocated to discuss items on the agenda, so that all board directors may intervene, guaranteeing constructive debate during board meetings. The Directors participate in meetings proactively, setting aside adequate time for the performance of board work, and preparation. Each Director may request, exclusively in the context of a meeting, that additional information be provided with respect to information given prior to the board meeting or during it, in order to be able to act in an informed manner.

    The Directors accept the position when they consider that they can dedicate the necessary time to the diligent performance of their duties, also taking into account the commitment related to their work and professional activities and the number of positions held by them in other companies or entities (also foreign). During the Financial Year, the Directors ensured adequate time to carry out their duties within the scope of the position held at the Company.

    During the year, 9 (nine) Board meetings were held, with the participation of the Directors (including the members of the Management Control Committee). More precisely, the Board of the Issuer met on the following dates: 22 January 2025, 26 February 2025, 4 March 2025, 15 April 2025, 9 May 2025, 29 July 2025, 13 October 2025, 7 November 2025 and 18 December 2025. The participation of each Director in the meetings held during the Year is indicated in table 2 of Annex 1 to the Report. The duration of Board meetings was on average 2 hours.

    Also in accordance with the provisions of the Board of Directors' Rules, the Board meetings were attended by the Executive in charge of financial reporting and sustainability reporting to provide appropriate insights on the internal control and risk management system, as well as the Issuer's senior management to provide appropriate insights on the topics placed on the agenda from time to time.

    For the 2026 financial year, in addition to the meetings held on 16 January 2026 (approval of the budget), 27 February 2026 (impairment test), as well on 5 March 2026 (approval of the separate financial statements and the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2025), at least three further meetings are planned as indicated in the Calendar of main corporate events for the 2026 financial year (already communicated to the market and to Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in accordance with regulatory requirements on 18 December 2025) available, in Italian and English, on the issuer's institutional website www. piaggiogroup.com, in the Section "Investors - Financial Events Calendar", as well as at the authorised storage mechanism "eMarket Storage" available at https://www.emarketstorage.it.

    It should be noted that, in order to ensure continuity and regularity of information to the financial community, the Company has resolved to continue to publish, on a voluntary basis, quarterly information, adopting, until otherwise resolved, the communication policy described in detail in the press release of 15 December 2016 available on the Issuer's institutional website https://www.piaggiogroup.com, in the Section "Investor/Financial press releases", as well as through the storage mechanism "eMarket Storage" which can be consulted at https://www.emarketstorage.it.

    The Secretary also meets requirements of independent judgment and is not in situations of conflict of interest. The Secretary supports the activity of the Chairman and assists him, in particular, in the performance of the related functions referred to above, ensuring care in particular:

    1. that information prior to board meetings and the complementary information provided during the meetings are suitable to allow Directors to act in an informed manner in the performance of their role;

    2. that the activity of the board committees with advisory functions is coordinated with the activity of the management board;

    3. in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer (if not the Chairman), that the senior management of the company and of group companies, responsible for relevant company functions depending on the subject matter, intervene at board meetings, also at the request of individual directors, to provide appropriate insights on the topics on the agenda;

    4. that members of the Board of Directors may participate, also in induction sessions held separately from formal Board meetings, after the appointment and during the mandate, in initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the sectors of activity in which the company operates, the company dynamics and their evolution also with a view to the sustainable success of the company, as well as the principles of correct risk management and the applicable regulatory and self-governance framework, with the assistance of the Lead Independent Director.

    The Secretary impartially provides assistance and advice to the board of directors on every aspect relevant to the proper functioning of the corporate governance system. For the purposes of carrying out the functions provided for by the Board of Directors' Rules, the Secretary reports functionally responsible the Chairman.

    If absent or unable, the Secretary's duties are entrusted to another person designated from time to time by the Chairman of the individual meetings.

    During the year, in the role of Secretary of the Board, Fabio Grimaldi supported the activity of the Chairman of the Board and provided, with impartial judgement, assistance and advice to the Board on every aspect relevant to the proper functioning of the corporate governance system, as well as in the performance of the tasks assigned to it and defined above.
