CONSOLIDATED NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT

The Shareholders' Meeting has acknowledged the publication, on 29 March 2018, of the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement for the year 2017, prepared as per Italian Legislative Decree 254 of 30/12/2016.

DIVIDEND FOR 2017

The Shareholders approved a dividend of €0.21 per share for 2017, gross of any applicable taxes. Payment will take place on 23 May 2018, with the share going ex-dividend on 21 May 2018 (record date: 22 May 2018, coupon #25).

For tax purposes (as per Italian D.M. 26/05/2017) the entire dividend of €0.21 per share is considered resulting from the payout of reserves created after 31/12/2007 but before 31/12/2016

SHARE BUYBACK AUTHORIZATION

The authorization granted is valid for eighteen months from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, and concerns the buyback of up to 5,500,000 ordinary Interpump Group shares with a nominal value of €2,860,000, reaching a maximum - considering the shares bought back and still held in treasury in accordance with previous shareholder resolutions - of 6,909,683 ordinary Interpump Group shares, or any lower limit as stated by law. Authorization is also granted, for the same 18-month period, for the sale or transfer, in one or more instances, of the Company's treasury shares including those bought back pursuant to today's authorization.

Buyback prices for own shares will range from €0.52, i.e. the nominal value, to €35.00 per share.

Selling prices for treasury shares must be at least €0.52, i.e. the nominal value.

Buybacks and sales of treasury shares will be mainly carried out to use Company shares to finance acquisitions and/or to service the stock option plans.

Today's authorization cancels and supersedes the unfulfilled part of the previous authorization granted by the Shareholders during the General Meeting held on 28 April 2017 and expiring in October 2018.

To this end, it should be noted that between 28 April 2017 and today a total of 747,569 own shares were transfered to third parties (of which 85,569 used for acquisitions and 662,000 connected to the exercise of stock options). Currently, the Company owns 1,409,683 treasury shares, corresponding to ca. 1.2947% of share capital. As a further reminder, the subsidiaries do not own any Company shares.

1 Net profit for 2017 includes one-off fiscal benefit worth €5.9 million, almost entirely resulting from the reassessment of deferred tax assets and liabilities following the introduction of the corporate tax reform in the USA.

Lastly, the resolutions authorizing the buyback were approved without a decisive vote of Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A.. Therefore, these purchases will fall within the exemption regime under article 44-bis, paragraph 2, of Consob Regulation no. 11971/1999.
