April 23, 2024. The Board of Directors of Exprivia S.p.A.--a company listed on the Euronext Milan market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana [XPR.MI]--appointed today by the Shareholders' Meeting, met today and appointed Exprivia's chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. Domenico Favuzzi, as CEO, and deputy chairman, Eng. Dante Altomare, with related delegation of powers.

The Board of Directors also granted director Giovanni Castellaneta the delegation of authority for business development and international relations.

With regard to the appointment of director Alessandro Laterza, already a director of Exprivia for more than nine fiscal years, the assessment of independence was made having regard more to substance than to form, that is, evaluating the experience gained by Dr. Laterza during previous fiscal years, as Lead Independent Director and as Chairman of the Company's internal Board Committees, which has brought him a peculiar knowledge of Exprivia's processes and business such as to enable him to continue to perform his role as Independent Director effectively and without conditioning in favor of the Issuer and the Exprivia Group.

Chairman and managing director Domenico Favuzzi, vice chairman Dante Altomare and director Dr. Giovanni Castellaneta qualified as executive directors, while director Valeria Anna Savelli, in the absence of management proxies, qualified as a nonexecutive director.

The Board of Directors has, in addition, provided for the establishment of an Integrated Internal Committee that merges, pursuant to Recommendation 16 of the Corporate Governance Code, the investigative, proposing and advisory functions in the areas of (i) Appointments, (ii) Remuneration, (iii) Control and Risk, and (iv) tasks for the application of the procedure for Related Party Transactions.

The appointed Integrated Internal Committee is composed of independent directors Alessandro Laterza, Angela Stefania Bergantino, and Marina Lalli. The chairmanship of the Integrated Internal Committee was entrusted to director Alessandro Laterza.
