This procedure involves the presence of a dedicated supervisory committee, made up of three independent external members, who regularly check that all procedures to prevent crimes, corruption and bribery are correctly implemented by 21 Investimenti.

Whistleblowing Policy
In order to encourage and facilitate the reporting of offences or breaches of laws and regulations governing its activities, 21 Invest SGR S.p.A. (the “Company”) has adopted an ad hoc system to manage such reports. The system uses appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the confidentiality of the person making the report (the “whistleblower”), of the persons involved and of the persons in any case mentioned in the report, as well of the contents of the report and the related documentation; the system is entrusted to an autonomous and specifically trained person.
In accordance with applicable legislation, the Company has, therefore, established specific reporting channels while also laying down, in a specific procedure called the Whistleblowing Policy, the operating arrangements and responsibilities for receipt, evaluation, management and closure of such reports, as summarised in the attached document.
EU Directive 2017/828 – Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II)
In reference to the implementation of EU Directive 2017/828 – also known as the Shareholder Rights Directive II (“SRD II”) – into Italian law, 21 Invest SGR S.p.A. has determined that as it currently stands the conditions for adopting a Policy of Engagement in accordance with article 124- quinquies of the TUF (Consolidate Law on Finance, Legislative Decree 58/98), Section I-ter (“Transparency of institutional investors, asset managers and consultants on voting rights”) have not been met. This is because the investment policy of the funds currently under management (the “Fund”) is not aimed at investing in companies with shares admitted to trading on regulated Italian or other EU member states’ markets. As foreseen by the management rules of the Funds, the investments admitted in said companies are conditional upon a series of limitations and well-defined cases (e.g. percentages of the fund’s assets, listing after the initial investment by the fund or companies acquired in delisting transactions). Furthermore, as of the publishing date of this notice, the Funds do not have portfolio companies with shares admitted to trading on regulated Italian or other EU member states’ markets. The Company shall proceed with drawing up and publishing a Policy of Engagement should the conditions foreseen by law be met in the future.
