The Procedure referred to in this Notice will be promoted by Generali over the totality of the ordinary shares of Cattolica. This Notice does not constitute an offer to buy or sell Cattolica shares.

Before the starting of the period for the presentation of the requests to sell related to the Procedure, Generali will publish an information document related to the Procedure which the shareholders of Cattolica shall carefully examine.

The publication of documents concerning the Procedure (including the information document) is for informative purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation to adhere to the Procedure.

The Procedure will be promoted exclusively in Italy and will be addressed on equal terms to all shareholders of Cattolica. The Procedure will be promoted in Italy as the shares of Cattolica are listed on Euronext Milan organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and, except for what is indicated below, will be subject to the obligations and procedural requirements provided for by Italian law.

The Procedure is not and will not be promoted in United States of America, Canada, Japan, Australia and any other jurisdictions where the Procedure would not be allowed without the approval by the competent authorities or other requirements to be complied with by Generali (such countries, including the United States of America, Canada, Japan and Australia, jointly, the “Other Countries”), neither by using national or international instruments of communication or commerce of the Other Countries (including, for example, postal network, fax, telex, e-mail, telephone and internet), nor through any structure of any of the Other Countries’ financial intermediaries or in any other way.

Copies of any document that Generali will issue in relation to the Procedure, or portions thereof, are not and shall not be sent, nor in any way transmitted, or otherwise distributed, directly or indirectly, in the Other Countries.

This Notice, as well as any other document issued by Generali in relation to the Procedure, does not constitute and is not part of an offer to buy, nor of a solicitation of an offer to sell, financial instruments in the Other Countries. Generali reserves the right to purchase Shares outside of the Offer, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Generali may, in any case, purchase Shares outside of the Offer in compliance with applicable laws. No financial instrument can be offered or transferred in Other Countries in the absence of specific authorization in compliance with the applicable provisions of the local laws of said countries or of an exemption from those provisions.

This Notice may be accessed in or from the United Kingdom exclusively: (i) by persons having professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within the scope of Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as subsequently amended (the “Order”), or (ii) by companies having significant net equity and by persons to whom the Notice can be legitimately transmitted as they fall within the scope of Article 49(2), paragraphs from (a) to (d), of the Order (all these persons are jointly defined “Relevant Persons”).
