Partial voluntary purchase offer for treasury shares

REVO LAUNCHES A VOLUNTARY PUBLIC TENDER OFFER FOR TREASURY SHARES

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

Verona, 15 May 2023

REVO Insurance S.p.A. (“REVO” or the “Company”) announces that following today’s meeting, the Board of Directors, based on the authorisation to purchase treasury shares approved by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of 19 April 2023, has resolved to launch a below-threshold partial voluntary purchase offer, in respect of a maximum of 700,000 ordinary shares of the company, corresponding to 2.84% of the share capital1, at a price of EUR 9.25 per share and for a maximum value of EUR 6,475,000.

The price incorporates a premium of 10.1% with respect to the official Stock Exchange price of 12 May 2023 (EUR 8.40), the last trading day before the launch of the offer.

The maximum value of the offer, which is below the threshold of EUR 8,000,000, as indicated

pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 1, sub-paragraph v) and Article 100, paragraphs 2 and 3, sub- paragraph c), of the Consolidated Finance Law (TUF) and Article 34-ter, paragraph 1, of the Issuers’

Regulation, means the takeover bid is not subject to the rules governing public purchase offers nor the obligation to publish an offer document authorised by CONSOB, the Italian Stock Exchange Commission.

As of today’s date, REVO holds 150,815 treasury shares, equivalent to 0.61% of the share capital represented by ordinary shares.

REASONS FOR THE OFFER

Through the offer, REVO intends to pursue the following objectives.

As a priority, to provide the company with a portfolio of treasury shares enabling to fulfil obligations arising from the Long-Term Incentive Plan, provided for in the 2022-2025 Business Plan.

At present this incentive applies to 46 company employees in key roles for the development of the REVO project, to whom a total of 679,500 rights have been attributed which, according to the Regulation, will allow beneficiaries to receive REVO ordinary shares already held in the portfolio or newly issued.

As a secondary measure, upon completion of the offer, the company will have a portfolio of treasury shares for use, in accordance with its own strategic guidelines, in eventual M&A deals, financing or other transactions for which it is necessary or appropriate to hold treasury shares.

The Company also considers that the REVO stock’s current level of capitalisation only partially incorporates the potential value of the Business Plan, also with regard ofthe positive economic and financial performance recorded in FY 2022 and Q1 2023. Current market conditions therefore appear particularly attractive for the creation of the provision required for the incentive plan.

In addition to the reasons set out above, the proposed transaction offers shareholders an opportunity to further monetise their investment at a price that incorporates a premium over the average of the previous months.

The offer is not intended to withdraw the Issuer's ordinary shares from trading on Euronext STAR Milan.

The price includes a premium of 10.1% over the official stock market price of 12 May 2023 (EUR 8.40), the last trading day before the launch of the offer. The following table sets out the implicit premiums included in the offer price over the various time horizons:
