ENAV Group Consolidated Financial Statements

                                         The financing contracts shown above entail general commitments and covenants for
                                         the Parent Company that may also be negative. While in line with market practices
                                         for financing contracts for similar amounts and types, these could limit the Group’s
                                         operations. Specifically, some contracts envisage early repayment if certain default
                                         events should arise. If this should occur, the Parent Company could be obliged to pay
                                         back the relevant financing in full and with immediate effect.
                                         More specifically, we note:
                                         •	 the financing contract signed in 2013 between the Parent Company and Banca del

                                            Mezzogiorno - Medio Credito Centrale S.p.A. for an amount of € 10 million, with
                                            half-yearly repayment instalments in arrears starting in November 2015 up until
                                            May 2018, and an interest rate at the Euribor rate plus a spread of 1.9% contains
                                            a cross-default clause that entitles the Bank to request early repayment of the
                                            loan in the event that ENAV does not comply with its financial obligations other
                                            than those contained in the financing contract, as well as guarantees undertaken
                                            in respect of banks or financial institutions, referring to amounts in excess of € 2
                                            million, unless the situation has been remedied within 10 working days after the
                                            relevant due date;
                                         •	 the two financing contracts signed in 2008 between the Parent Company and
                                            Unicredit, which were extended in accordance with the contractual conditions
                                            up to 2018, for an original amount of € 100 million and € 40 million, respectively,
                                            entail a repayment plan with half-yearly instalments in arrears and interest at the
                                            Euribor rate plus a spread of 0.34%. They also include:
                                             -- cross-default clauses that become applicable in the event that ENAV or any

                                                other company in the Group does not comply with its financial obligations
                                                other than those contained in the financing contracts, as well as guarantees
                                                undertaken in respect of banks or financial institutions;
                                             -- a change of control clause that entitles Unicredit to request early repayment
                                                of the financing in the event that the Ministry of the Economy and Finance no
                                                longer has control of the Company.
                                            In addition, the two loans referred to above require that certain financial covenants
                                            are to be adhered to, including: i) the net financial debt/EBITDA ratio must not

                                            EBITDA ratio must not be higher than 3 times for the original funding of € 100
                                            million; iii) the ratio between net financial debt/shareholders’ equity must not be
                                            higher than 0.7;
