INTESA SANPAOLO: NOTICE OF CALL OF ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

Turin - Milan, 30 March 2026 – The Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. is convened, on single call, at the New Headquarters in Torino, Corso Inghilterra no. 3, at 10:00 a.m. on 30 April 2026, to discuss and pass resolutions on the agenda as stated below.

In compliance with Article 106, paragraph 4, of Decree Law no. 18 dated 17 March 2020, converted by Law no. 27 dated 24 April 2020, the effects of which were most recently extended  by Law no. 26 dated 27 February 2026, the Company decided to avail itself of the option establishing that participation in, and voting at, the Shareholders’ Meeting shall only be allowed through the Designated Representative pursuant to Article 135-undecies of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 (“Designated Representative”), as per the indications provided in the specific paragraph of this notice.

The choice takes into account the experience of managing the Shareholders’ Meeting since 2020, which has registered over the years an increase in the participation rate of shareholders compared to previous years.

The chosen method of conducting the Meeting in particular:

• enhances the pre-meeting dialogue process with a view to ensuring that all shareholders - even if not present at the Meeting - have transparency of information and equal access to the information necessary to make informed voting decisions, taking into account that all proposals, questions and any written statements on the items on the Agenda must be submitted in advance by shareholders before the Meeting so that the Company can publish them and make them available to the market. As a result, shareholder participation and engagement are strengthened compared to possible interaction involving only those attending in person;
• therefore, allows all shareholders to be informed of the questions submitted and the related answers provided by the Company, as well as any written statements and proposals submitted by shareholders on the items on the Agenda in advance. This enables them to form their own opinions and make informed voting decisions based on homogeneous information that also benefits from the pre-meeting dialogue, through the granting of the proxy or sub-proxy and the related voting instructions to the Designated Representative;
• in accordance with shareholders’ rights under European legislation, allows all shareholders to freely choose (i) whether to grant proxy with voting instructions directly and free of charge to the Designated Representative, or (ii)  whether to delegate the exercise of voting rights to a representative of their choice, who, in turn, grants a proxy, with voting instructions, to the Designated Representative.

The methods of conducting the meeting, detailed in the following paragraphs, are fully compliant with the operating instructions issued by Consob with communication no. 3/2020 as a guarantee for all shareholders.
