Terms used with an initial capital letter in this press release, unless otherwise defined, have the meaning attributed to them in the offer document approved by Consob, pursuant to Article 102, paragraph 4, of the TUF by Resolution no. 23957 of 22 April 2026 (the “Offer Document”).

Final results of the Offer

Based on the final results of the Offer, as communicated by Equita SIM S.p.A., acting as the Intermediary responsible for coordinating the collection of acceptances, a total of 32,191,925 Shares, representing approximately 64.4% of the Shares Subject to the Offer and approximately 3.51% of the Issuer’s share capital, were tendered.

Taking into account the final results of the Offer, on the Payment Date the Offeror will acquire 32,191,925 Shares, corresponding to 3.51% of the share capital, for a total consideration of Euro 22,534,347.50.

Given that, on the basis of the final data of the Offer, the Issuer will purchase no. 32,191,925 Shares, taking into account the no. 56,720,488 Treasury Shares held by CIR as of the Offer Document Date, equal to 6.19% of CIR’s share capital, as well as the exercise, during the period, of Stock Grant Plans for no. 171,261 shares, on the Payment Date the Issuer will hold a total of no. 88,741,152 Treasury Shares, equal to 9.69% of the share capital.

Fulfilment of the Conditions for the Offer to be Effective

In accordance with the provisions of the Offer Document, the validity of the Offer is not conditional upon the achievement of a minimum number of acceptances.

Please note that on 26 May 2026, the Offeror announced that the Conditions for the Offer to be Effective had been satisfied.

The Offer is therefore effective.

Payment of the price

The New Price, amounting to Euro 0.70 for each Share tendered in acceptance of the Offer and actually collected upon its completion, will be paid to the Accepting Shareholders on 1 June 2026, corresponding to the fifth Trading Day following the end of the Acceptance Period, upon the simultaneous transfer of ownership of such Shares to the Offeror.

Payment of the New Price for the Shares tendered and actually withdrawn upon completion of the Offer will be made in cash. The New Price will be paid by the Offeror, through the Intermediary responsible for coordinating the collection of acceptances, to the Appointed Intermediaries, who will transfer the funds to the Depositary Intermediaries, so that they may arrange for the transfer to the Tendering Shareholders in accordance with the instructions provided by the Tendering Shareholders themselves (or their authorized representatives) at the time of acceptance and in the manner specified therein.

The Offeror’s obligation to pay the New Price due for the Shares tendered in the Offer shall be deemed to have been fulfilled upon the crediting of the relevant funds to the Appointed Intermediaries. The risk that the Appointed Intermediaries or the Custodian Intermediaries fail to transfer such funds, or delay their transfer, therefore remains solely with the parties accepting the Offer.

On the Payment Date, the Intermediary responsible for coordinating the collection of acceptances shall transfer the total Shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer to a securities custody account in the name of the Offeror.

From the Payment Date, participants in the Offer will no longer be able to exercise property rights (such as the right of option and the right to dividends) and administrative rights (such as the right to vote) relating to the Shares tendered.

The Offer is not conditional upon the achievement of a minimum number of acceptances.

Acceptance Period

Pursuant to Article 40, paragraph 2, of the Issuers’ Regulation, the acceptance period for the Offer, agreed upon with Borsa Italiana S.p.A., will begin at 8:30 AM on April 27, 2026, and end at 5:30 PM on May 18, 2026, included, unless extended. Therefore, May 18, 2026, will be the last day to accept the Offer, unless extended.

Pro-Rata Allocation

If, at the end of the Acceptance Period, the total number of shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer exceeds the maximum number of Shares subject to the Offer (and the Conditions for the Validity of the Offer have been satisfied or waived), a Pro-Rata Allocation shall take place, pursuant to which the Offeror shall purchase from all Shareholders the same proportion (equal to the Allocation Coefficient) of the Shares tendered by them in the Offer.

If the shares tendered in acceptance of the Offer by a single Shareholder are identified by different identification codes, in order to protect the positions accrued in relation to the possibility of exercising enhanced voting rights, in the event of a Pro-Rata Allocation, the Offeror shall withdraw shares from each Accepting Shareholder in the following order of priority:

  • firstly, shares identified by ISIN code IT0000070786 shall be withdrawn;
  • secondly, shares pending registration in the CIR loyalty shareholders’ register, identified by code XXITV0000172, shall be withdrawn;
  • thirdly, shares registered in the CIR loyalty shareholders’ register and pending the accrual of enhanced voting rights, identified by code XXITV0000180, shall be withdrawn;
  • fourthly, Enhanced Voting Shares and Super Enhanced Voting Shares, identified by ISIN code IT0005241762, shall be withdrawn.

If an Accepting Shareholder intends to tender both Enhanced Voting Shares and Super Enhanced Voting Shares in the Offer, given that they share the same ISIN code, for the purposes of calculating the total number of voting rights by the Company, Enhanced Voting Shares shall be deemed to have been tendered first, and Super Enhanced Voting Shares thereafter. It is understood that the Company shall notify the market of the total number of voting rights resulting from the Offer and any Pro-Rata Allocation.

It is in any case understood that, in the event of the return of shares in the case of a Pro-Rata Allocation, the Accepting Shareholder shall be entitled to have returned to them shares carrying the same rights and/or entitlements (including, by way of example, the enhancement of voting rights pursuant to Article 127-quinquies of the TUF, or the accrual of the right to obtain the enhancement of voting rights, or the right to registration in the CIR loyalty shareholders’ register) that such shares would have had in the absence of their tender in the Offer.
