The Board of Directors, in execution of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares granted by the Shareholders' Meeting today - which replaces the authorisation issued by the Meeting on 31 May 2022 - also resolved to continue implementing the current programme to purchase treasury shares (which was launched on 2 February 2022 and continued on 31 May 2022) currently in force. In this regard, it is recalled that for the implementation of this programme the Company granted to a top-tier intermediary the task of assuming and carrying out, with complete independence, decisions regarding the purchase of OVS shares, in accordance with the contractually pre-established parameters and criteria and with the provisions of the applicable regulations and the Shareholders' Meeting resolution on this authorisation. To the extent necessary, the task has been confirmed today.

It is recalled that the programme seeks to increase the portfolio of treasury shares (i) to carry out, directly or through intermediaries, any investment transactions, also to contain anomalous movements in share prices, to stabilise trading and price performance, and to support the share's liquidity on the market, (ii) to retain them for subsequent uses (known as a "securities warehouse"), (iii) to service compensation and incentive plans based on financial instruments reserved for the directors and employees of OVS and/or the companies directly or indirectly controlled by it.

It should also be noted that the unit purchase price cannot be either more or less than 15% of the reference price recorded by OVS shares in the trading session preceding each individual transaction.

For further information, see the press release of 1 February 2022 and 31 May 2022, available on the Company website at www.ovscorporate.it and the "1Info" authorised storage mechanism at www.1info.it.

OVS shall provide the market, in accordance with the current provisions in force, with details of any buy-back transactions carried out. As of today, the Company holds 17.261.783 treasury shares (5,9334% of the share capital), while its subsidiaries do not hold OVS shares.
