CAREL

The CAREL Group is a global leader in the design, production and marketing of technologically-advanced components and solutions for excellent energy efficiency in the control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") and refrigeration equipment and systems. CAREL is focused on several vertical niche markets with extremely specific needs, catered for with dedicated solutions developed comprehensively for these requirements, as opposed to mass markets.

The Group designs, produces and markets hardware, software and algorithm solutions aimed at both improving the performance of the units and systems they are intended for and for energy saving, with a globally-recognised brand in the HVAC and refrigeration markets (collectively, "HVAC/R") in which it operates and, in the opinion of the Company's management, with a distinctive position in the relevant niches in those markets.

HVAC is the Group's main market, representing 68% of the Group's revenues in the financial year to 31 December 2022, while the refrigeration market accounted for 31% of the Group's revenues.

1

The Group commits significant resources to research and development, an area which plays a strategic role in helping it maintain its position of leadership in the reference HVAC/R market niches, with special attention focused on energy efficiency, the reduction of environmental impact, trends relating to the use of natural refrigerant gases, automation and remote connectivity (the Internet of Things), and the development of data-driven solutions and services.

The Group operates through 36 branches including 15 production plants located in various countries. As of 31 December 2022, approximately 80% of the Group's revenues was generated outside of Italy and 30% outside of EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa). Original Equipment Manufacturers or OEMs - suppliers of complete units for applications in HVAC/R markets - make up the Company's main category of customers, which the Group focuses on to build long-term relationships.

Exercise of proxy voting

Pursuant to Article 135-novies of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 10 of the By-laws, those who have the right to attend the Shareholders' Meeting may be represented by written or electronically conferred proxy. For this purpose, the proxy form issued at the request of the entitled party by the authorised intermediaries and available at the registered office and on the Company's website www.carel.commay be used.

The proxy may be transmitted by sending a message addressed to the certified e-mailcarel.industries@legalmail.itor by registered mail to the Company's registered office, in Via dell'Industria 11, Brugine (PD), 35020 - Italy for the attention of the Investors Relation.

If the representative delivers or transmits to the Company, including in electronic form, a copy of the proxy instead of the original, he or she shall certify under his or her own responsibility the conformity of the proxy to the original and the identity of the delegating party.

Pursuant to Article 135-undecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 10 of the By-laws, the Company has designated Monte Titoli S.p.A., with registered office in Milan, Piazza degli Affari No. 6 ("Monte Titoli") as the entity to which shareholders may confer, without charge to themselves, a written proxy with voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda (the "Designated Representative"). In this case, the proxy must be conferred by completing and signing the specific proxy form available on the Company's website www.carel.comor at the Company's registered office.

The original of the form must be received by the Designated Representative by the end of the second trading day preceding the date of the Shareholders' Meeting in a single call (i.e. by 12 September 2023) in the following alternative manner: (i) transmission of an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) to the certified mail address Rd@pec.euronext.com(subject "2023 Carel Shareholders' Meeting Delegation") from one's own certified e-mail (or, in the absence of that, from one's own ordinary mail box, in which case the proxy with the voting instructions must be signed with a qualified or digital electronic signature); (ii) transmission of the original by courier or registered mail with return receipt, to the address Monte Titoli S.p.A - c.a.

The proxy is only effective for proposals in respect of which voting instructions have been given. The shares for which the proxy has been granted, even partially, are counted for the purpose of duly convening the Shareholders' Meeting. In

relation to proposals for which no voting instructions have been given, the shares are instead not counted for the purposes of calculating the majority and capital share required for the approval of resolutions. The notification to the Company made by the intermediary and certifying the entitlement to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting and to exercise the right to vote is also required in the event of granting of the proxy to the Designated Representative. Therefore, in the absence of the aforesaid communication, the proxy shall be considered null and void.

For any clarifications concerning the granting of proxy to the Designated Representative (and in particular concerning the filling in of the proxy form and the voting instructions and their transmission), the persons entitled to do so can contact Monte Titoli S.p.A. by e-mail at RegisterServices@euronext.comor by telephone on (+39) 02.33635810 (Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
