As illustrated in the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan (the “Plan”), presented to the market on March 14, 2024, Eni intends to distribute between 30%-35% of annual Cash Flow From Operations (“CFFO”) in terms of dividend and share buyback.

This amount may be increased up to a total maximum of €3.5 billion, in case of upside scenarios of the CFFO as described above. The maximum amount of shares that can be purchased under the program is no. 328 millions of shares (approximately 10 % of Eni's share capital). Authorization for the purchase of treasury shares under the new buyback Program is requested for the following purposes: - up to no. 321.6 millions of shares, to remunerate shareholders; - up to no. 6.4 millio
