3. REQUIREMENTS AND TERMS OF APPLICATION IN CASE OF RECOVERY OTHER THAN ACCOUNTING RESTATEMENT

3.1 The Company reserves the right to apply malus and/or claw back clauses to those Incentives based on data, relating to performances and/or to the results achieved, that were subsequently found to be manifestly misstated, as verified by the competent company control functions, within a maximum term of three years from the date they were disbursed, carrying on with the process to review the results and recalculate the incentives, after revising the data. The refund request shall be activated with reference to the actual results achieved, in accordance with the procedures allowed by the legislation in force, taking also into due consideration tax and social security contributions regulations. In the case of stock-based Incentives, the refund request will conventionally address the monetary value of the stock, calculated at the date of its final assignment to the Manager. For the purposes of this Regulation, any inaccuracies that have not affected the final calculation of the incentive amount are not deemed to be significant.

3.2 In case of:

a) fraudulent alteration of the data used to calculate the final results in relation to the assigned targets and in any case of the data on which the disbursement, granting or allocation of incentives is based, for the purposes of gaining the right to receive an incentive;

b) termination for disciplinary reasons, including serious and deliberate violations of the law and/or regulations, of the Code of Ethics or any other Company rules;

according to the seriousness of the conduct in question, the Company reserves the right to activate the malus and/or clawback clauses, within a maximum period of five years from the payment of the incentive or the definitive assignment of the stocks.

In such cases Eni shall activate the Clauses (in accordance with the procedures allowed by the legislation currently in force and also taking into consideration tax and social security contributions regulations) with respect to all Incentives granted or to be granted, assigned or to be assigned or awarded or to be awarded, relating to the year (or years) to which the existence of the aforementioned conditions has been ascertained, as well as to any Incentive in course of vesting at the date of the assessment.

3.3 The Clauses may be exercised upon conclusion of the audit activities conducted by the relevant Company control functions within the time limits indicated above. Upon expiry of these limits, the incentives paid out or granted or the right to be paid or to be granted the allocated incentives based on the achieved and finalized results shall be considered acquired and finally gained.

In case audit activities begun within the four months preceding the expiry of the aforementioned time limits, these same limits may be extended by the relevant Company departments for a maximum of 120 days, if there is an objective need to complete the audit activities.

3.4 In case it is necessary to start legal proceedings to verify the circumstances referred to in Articles 3.1 and/or 3.2, Clauses activation and relevant terms, as well as any Incentive obligation, will be suspended, until the final outcome of the legal proceedings, with which Eni must promptly comply. Pending the legal proceedings, Eni reserves the right to disburse and/or grant the vested incentives if, upon conclusion of the internal audits referred to in Article 4.2, the competent body, indicated under Article 4.3, establishes that the allegations of misconduct referred to in Articles 3.1 and/or 3.2, which may be the subject of the legal proceedings in question, have no basis. This does not affect Eni’s right to subsequently request the return of the incentives paid out if the judicial findings confirm the existence of the conduct in question. For the purposes of the aforementioned suspension of terms and of Incentive obligations, the actions and/or phases relating to the preliminary investigations by the judicial authorities, or the issue of any warrants in relation to the persons being investigated, are not deemed relevant.

3.5 If the employment contract of a manager that is subject to a clawback request is terminated for any reason, Eni may offset any amount due for any reason to the manager against the incentives subject to clawback.

4. REQUIREMENTS AND TERMS OF APPLICATION IN CASE OF RECOVERY FROM ACCOUNTING RESTATEMENT

4.1 In the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements under applicable securities laws⁷, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements and which would result in a material error if the error were corrected only in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period⁸ , the Company shall recover reasonably promptly the amount of erroneously awarded Incentive-Based Compensation.

The amount of compensation subject to recovery is calculated to the extent that exceeds the amount that would have been determined on the restated data, computed without regard to any taxes paid, in the three fiscal years preceding the date of the adjustment ("recovery period"), meaning the earlier of:

– the date on which the Board of Directors, or other delegated body, concludes, or reasonably ought to have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an accounting adjustment.

– the date on which a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an accounting adjustment.

For purposes of this article 4, Incentive-Based Compensation shall be deemed “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

4.2 The recovery described in the above art.4.1 applies⁹ to executive officers, as defined by SEC regulations, and to all other managerial resources, in office during the vesting period of the aforementioned Incentives and on condition that the Company has a class of securities listed on the NYSE.

4.3 For Incentive-Based Compensation based on the price of the Company’s common shares or TSR, where the amounts erroneously awarded do not derive directly from the mathematical application of the accounting restatement, the amounts to be recovered shall be determined on the basis of the reasonable estimate of the effect of the adjustment on the share price or TSR. In such cases, the Company will maintain documentation of its determination of such reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE.

4.4 The Company will recover the variable incentive based on financial parameters erroneously determined in the cases envisaged by this article and in compliance with the provisions of article 5.3, letter a ), b ), c ) below, except in cases where the direct expenses paid to third parties to trigger the recovery clauses would exceed the amounts to be recovered, subject to a reasonable recovery attempt, to be documented to the NYSE.

4.5 The Company will not indemnify, directly or indirectly (for example through the payment or reimbursement of premiums for third party insurance policies to finance potential recovery obligations), any of the subjects referred to in the previous article 4.2, for the losses deriving from the recovery of erroneously determined incentive based on financial measures.

4.6 These provisions and the information on the recovery actions activated, in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Federal securities laws, will be subject to disclosure and communication required to be included in the required SEC filings.


⁷ Case of "big R": the financial statement is withdrawn, and the company is required to prepare an adjusted one due to material misstatement.
⁸ Case of "little R: the previous financial statements are not reissued but are subject to restatement in the financial statements during which the administrative body evaluates the materiality of the restatement compared to the current financial statements and proceeds to restate the financial statements of the comparative periods.
⁹ In relation to the variable incentive paid after October 2, 2023 (date of entry into force of the standard listings).

5.3 Following the results of the above mentioned investigations, any clawback action is established:

	a)	by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, with regard to Directors with delegated powers (having also consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors), as well as to Managers with strategic responsibilities appointed by the Board on the basis of the Company by-laws and governance model currently in force;
	b)	by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Chairman in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, subject to the favourable opinion of the Control and Risk Committee and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors, with regard to the Internal Audit Manager;

5.5 The Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager promptly inform the Board of any authorized clawback measures (in accordance with Article 5.3 c), specifying the reasons they are based on and confirming that they are in line with the principles established in this Regulation.
