Cagliari, June 19, 2023

Outcome of today's board meeting

The Board of Directors of Tessellis S.p.A. ("Tessellis" or the "Company"), meeting today, approved the amendment of certain terms of the Issuer's capital increase resolution passed on May 11, 2023.

The Board deemed it appropriate to amend the previous resolution in order, on the one hand, to take into account the conversion into shares of 20 bonds of the convertible bond with Nice&Green, as well as, on the other hand, to allow a broader adherence to the transaction by its shareholders considering the performance of Tessellis stock recorded on the Euronext Milan market subsequent to the date of the initial resolution (May 11 2023).

Specifically, by virtue of today's resolution, the maximum amount of the capital increase was set at Euro 24,716,036.00 (the "Capital Increase by Option"), to be implemented through the issuance of a maximum of 61,790,090 new shares (the "Offered Shares") to be offered under option to Shareholders pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code (the "Offering"). The subscription price of the Offered Shares has been set at EUR 0.40 per share, applying a discount to the TERP (Theoretical ex right price) of 1.66%%, calculated on the average stock market price of Tessellis shares in the week prior to today's date. The option ratio is 1 new Tessellis share for every 3 option rights referred to the shares held. It should be noted that this capital increase is derived from the partial exercise of the broader proxy for a maximum of €60 million granted to the Board by the January 2023 Shareholders' Meeting, which will remain valid for the excess portion.

For further details, please refer to the Explanatory Report, prepared pursuant to Article 72 and in accordance with Outline No. 2 of Annex 3A of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971 of May 14, 1999, as amended and supplemented, available on the Company's website at www.tessellis.it.

Timetable of the Option Offer

The Board of Directors of Tessellis also approved the final timetable of the Offering, according to which the option rights valid for the subscription of the Offered Shares (the "Option Rights") must be exercised, under penalty of forfeiture, from June 26, 2023 to July 10, 2023, ends included (the "Offering Period") and will be tradable on Euronext Milan from June 26, 2023 to July 4, 2023, ends included.

The Option Rights that will not be exercised by the end of the Offering Period will be offered by the Issuer on Euronext Milan within the month following the end of the Offering Period for at least two open market days, pursuant to Article 2441(3) of the Civil Code (the "unassigned Auction").

The said notice will be published in at least one newspaper with national circulation and on the Issuer's website www.tessellis.it.

It should be noted that for the purpose of a correct purely technical balancing of the transaction Drag Srl has made itself available to give up 25 option rights.

The Prospectus will be made available in the manner and terms prescribed by law at the registered office of Tessellis, in Cagliari, Località Sa Illetta, SS 195 Km 2.300, as well as on the Issuer's website www.tessellis.it.

Underwriting commitments

Tessellis S.p.A. informs that today the Company has received a letter from the controlling shareholder OPNET S.p.A. - which follows the one already received on June 13, 2023 - in which the latter has irrevocably committed itself, for an additional amount of Euro 7 million, to subscribe shares arising from the Capital Increase. With this additional commitment, OPNET guarantees the full subscription of its share of the Capital Increase itself, totaling approximately 14 million euros.

Specifically, the underwriting commitment is subject to the following conditions: (i) that the subscription price does not exceed Euro 0.50 per share; and (ii) that OPNET obtains authorization for the completion of the transaction from its lender banks, pursuant to its existing agreements with them. Should the second of the above conditions occur by the end of the offering period, OPNET will fulfill its commitment by partially subscribing to the option rights to which it is entitled. Should, on the other hand, the banks' authorization be received after the end of the offering period (and by the deadline for the execution of the capital increase, i.e. July 31, 2023), OPNET will subscribe to any shares remaining unoptioned as a result of the stock market offering of the option rights pursuant to Article 2441(3) of the Civil Code. In this case, the commitment letter stipulates that the subscription of the shares will take place by the second open market day following the fulfillment of the condition.

In addition, OPNET has reserved the right to have the second tranche of 7 million, which is the subject of the commitment letter received today, subscribed by one or more of its shareholders, while still guaranteeing its subscription to the Company. OPNET's underwriting commitment is not supported by guarantees.

Also today, the Company received an irrevocable commitment from Guglielmo Leonardo Tabacchi, an entrepreneur in the finance and telecommunications sector, to subscribe to a portion of the shares arising from the Capital Increase.

Mr. Tabacchi, who is not currently a shareholder, has irrevocably undertaken to subscribe for the shares arising from the Capital Increase, in the amount of Euro 1 million, within the

scope of any shares remaining unassigned as a result of the rights offering pursuant to Article 2441(3) of the Italian Civil Code, by the second open market day following the conclusion of the stock market offering of the unassigned shares. The subscription commitment is subject to the condition that the subscription price does not exceed EUR 0.50 per share and is not backed by guarantees.

The Company informs that all subscription commitments for the Capital Increase formalized by shareholders and third parties total 16.65 million euros and are not conditional on each other.

The Company will promptly notify the market if other underwriting commitments are formalized.
