CODE OF ETHICS AND SUPERVISORY BODY

 This Code of Ethics is the tool prepared by Lormar S.r.l. (now also the Company)  to define the set of corporate ethics values that the Company recognizes, accepts and shares and the set of responsibilities that Lormar and its collaborators assume in internal and   external relations.  

 Lormar s.r.l. recognizes the importance of ethical-social responsibility, the quality of its products, environmental protection and the health and safety of workers in the conduct  of the Company's business and activities and, to this end, promotes the management of the latter oriented  to balancing the legitimate interests of its  stakeholders and the community in which it operates. The  Code is, therefore, based on an ideal of cooperation and respect for all the interests of  the parties involved.  

 The stakeholders of Lormar s.r.l. are human resources (employees and collaborators), customers, shareholders, suppliers, the public administration, the community and, in a broader sense , all the subjects involved, directly and  / or indirectly, in the Company's activities.   As part of the internal control system, the Code of Ethics constitutes (pursuant to articles 6  and 7 of Legislative Decree 231 of 2001 and the "Guidelines for the construction of organization, management and control models pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01" issued by Confindustria on 7 March 2002, subsequently  updated, with ministerial approval on 2 April 2008 and,  finally, updated during  2014; as well as the "Consolidated principles for the preparation of organizational models and the activity of the supervisory body and  auditing perspectives of Legislative Decree. 8 June 2001, n. 231",  approved in 2019), among other things, prerequisite and reference of the Organization,  Management and Control Model of Lormar s.r.l. (hereinafter the "Model") and the sanctioning  system provided therein.  

 The verification of the implementation of the Code of Ethics and its concrete application is the responsibility of the Administration of Lormar s.r.l. and the company management, which may also promote  proposals for integration or modification of the  contents. It is the task of the Administrative Body  to update the Code of Ethics in order to adapt it to any new legislation and  to the evolution of civil sensitivity.  

 As regards, in particular, the crimes provided for by Legislative Decree 231/01, a  Supervisory Body (hereinafter also SB) is established to verify the functioning and compliance with  the Model for the prevention of the aforementioned crimes. The Supervisory Body is free to access all  the Company's sources of information, has the right to view the documents and consult  data, suggests any updates to the Code of Ethics and the Model, also on the basis of the 

  2

reports provided by employees. In order to guarantee the effectiveness of the Model, Lormar – in respect of privacy and individual rights – prepares information channels through which all  those who become aware of any illegal conduct carried out within the Company, or of any critical issues of the Model, can report freely, in  a confidential manner,  directly to the  Supervisory Body. 

MISSION AND ETHICAL VISION OF LORMAR S.R.L. 

  

 Lormar s.r.l. is a corporation, in the form of a limited liability company. The  company is currently managed by a Sole Director, Lorenzo Martinelli.   Lormar s.r.l. is mainly active in the production and marketing of  underwear, beach and sleepwear, distributing these products mainly on the domestic market  and, only partially, abroad.  

 As per the survey, the Company may carry out financial transactions, take shares in other companies or entities and, in  addition, the Administration may provide guarantees (securities or financial)  necessary for the achievement of the corporate purpose. It is specified that, in any case, purely financial transactions are  expressly excluded from the main activities of the Company, including  management and brokerage operations, activities reserved for specifically  authorized subjects, registered with colleges, orders or registers or for which there are legislative or  regulatory reserves and, finally, all the activities referred to in Legislative Decree 385/93.  

 The Sole Director of the Company is invested with the widest powers for the purposes  of ordinary and extraordinary administration and, therefore, may perform the appropriate acts for  the implementation of corporate activities with the exception of those that the law or social agreements expressly reserve  to shareholders.  

 Lormar s.r.l. works to guarantee a high quality standard in reference to each of its products, through the careful choice of materials, from selected suppliers and able to guarantee the origin of  the  product.  

 Furthermore, Lormar s.r.l., in full respect of the satisfaction of its customers, relies  exclusively on suppliers selected through selection procedures based on respect for  transparency and the privilege of consumer interest.  

 The ethical vision of the Company cannot ignore some basic principles:  - operate according to the principles of quality and prevention of defects and claims, so as to provide a product and a  constant service in its characteristics, safe and guaranteed; - rationalize business management in all its areas;  

  3

- recognize an indispensable role for the training and involvement of all staff (who, by  virtue of this principle, are constantly subjected to training courses and updates );  

- integrate, in the objectives of effectiveness and efficiency, the principles of sustainable and eco-compatible development and the prevention of accidents at work, essential prerequisites for a responsible and lasting presence  within the market.  

RECIPIENTS AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION OF THE CODE OF ETHICS

 In view of this, Lormar promotes the widest dissemination of the Code to all interested parties , the correct interpretation of its contents, and provides the most appropriate tools to  facilitate its application.  

 The Company also implements the necessary measures in order to carry out verification and  monitoring of the application of the Code itself. To this end, a special  Supervisory Body has been identified, with the task, among others, of supervising the application of the Code of Ethics.

In particular, the Company undertakes to formalize – in a separate document, which will be an annex to the Model – the procedures for  collecting, storing and managing personal data in accordance with the new principles of privacy by design and privacy by  default, with a view to  general accountability of the data owner.  What has just been specified also applies, and indeed a priori, with regard to the health data of  employees, suppliers, customers and stakeholders in general, of which Lormar s.r.l. has come into possession as a  result of the procedures put in place to prevent contagion and spread from Covid-19.

Prevention of conflicts of interest 

 In order to avoid even potential situations of conflict of interest, the Company, when  assigning tasks or initiating employment relationships, requires its Directors, employees and collaborators in various capacities to sign a specific declaration that excludes the presence of  conditions of conflict of interest between the individual and  the company.  

 Lormar s.r.l. also requires that anyone who has news of a situation of conflict of interest  promptly notify the Supervisory Body. 

Protection of the environment, safety and sustainable development

 The environment is a primary asset that Lormar safeguards, in compliance with the principles of sustainable development , as well as the pure observance of environmental legislation (including the T.U.  Environment, Legislative Decree 152/2006).  

 To this end, the Company plans its activities seeking a continuous balance between  economic initiatives and social and environmental needs, and spreads the culture of safety and  risk prevention among all stakeholders.  

Protection of consumers and, in any case, of the users of its products

 To this end, the Company outlines and pays particular attention to all phases of 

  6

procurement of materials used for processing, through a careful choice of suppliers, of  which a periodically updated list is kept in the Company.  

RULES OF CONDUCT 

Members 

 Lormar s.r.l. creates the conditions so that the participation of shareholders in the decisions within their competence is widespread and aware, promotes equality and completeness of information and protects  their  interest.  

 The corporate governance system adopted by the company complies with the provisions of the  Law and is mainly aimed at:  

- achieve maximum transparency towards the company's stakeholders; - control risks;   

- respond to the legitimate expectations of members;  

- avoid any type of operation to the detriment of creditors.  

Corporate information

 Lormar s.r.l. ensures the keeping of accounting records, the preparation and preparation of the financial statements, reports, prospectuses, corporate communications in general and anything else  required for its operation, in accordance with the provisions of  the law, principles, technical standards  in force.  

 To this end, the Company supervises the work of the Administrative Body, the officers, or the persons subject to their supervision for any reason involved in the  preparation  of accounting, financial statements or other similar documents.  

 Lormar s.r.l. promotes correct and timely information to all the bodies and functions  involved in the preparation of the financial statements, financial statements, reports,  prospectuses, corporate communications in general and anything else required for its operation, in accordance with the provisions of the law, principles,  technical standards in force. It also determines the correct collaboration between the aforementioned bodies and company functions and promotes the required controls by  the  competent bodies and functions.  

 Each operation and transaction is correctly authorized, carried out and recorded, and a  trace is kept in order to allow easy traceability, precise accounting records  and identification of the different levels of responsibility, as well as the accurate  reconstruction of the operation, also to reduce the likelihood of interpretative errors. 

  7

Human resources 

 Lormar s.r.l. recognizes the centrality of human resources, their psychophysical health and the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships based on loyalty and  mutual trust. In this  sense, both employees and collaborators who work for the Company in contractual forms other than that of subordinate work  are understood as human resources.  

 All employees/collaborators undertake to act loyally in order to comply with the obligations  assumed by the employment contract and the provisions of this Code of Ethics, ensuring the services that are requested of them and respecting the  commitments undertaken.  

Selection of personnel and establishment of the employment relationship.  

 The evaluation of the personnel to be hired is carried out on the basis of the correspondence of the candidates' profiles  with those expected and the needs of the company, in compliance with the principles  of impartiality and equal opportunities for all interested parties.  

 All staff are hired with a regular employment contract; No form  of irregular or undeclared work is permitted.  

 When the collaboration begins, even when it is in the form of an internship, the employee / collaborator receives exhaustive information regarding the characteristics of the tasks and functions, the regulatory elements of remuneration and the regulations and  behaviors for the  management  of risks related to personal health. The employee/collaborator is also adequately  trained in relation to the type of tasks he will have to perform.  

Politiche of human resource management.  

 Any form of discrimination against persons is prohibited.   All decisions taken in the field of human resources management and development are  based on considerations of merit profiles and/or correspondence between expected profiles and profiles owned  by employees. The same applies to access to different roles or tasks.  

 In the management of hierarchical relationships, authority is exercised with fairness and correctness, avoiding  any abuse. It constitutes abuse of the position of authority to request, as an act due to the hierarchical superior , services, personal favors and any behavior that constitutes a violation  of this Code.  

 Human resources are fully exploited through the activation of the available levers to  promote their development and growth.  

 The competent functions must therefore: 

  8

- select, hire, train, pay and manage employees or collaborators without  any discrimination;  

- create a working environment in which personal characteristics cannot give rise to  discrimination;  

- adopt criteria of merit, competence and in any case strictly professional for any  decision relating to an employee or collaborator.  

Health, safety and environment 

 Lormar s.r.l. promotes and spreads the culture of safety at work and environmental protection , developing awareness of risk management, promoting responsible behavior  and preserving, especially with preventive actions, the health and safety of all  employees and collaborators, the healthiness of the workplace and respect for the environment in all its  components.  

 All operators in Lormar s.r.l. (shareholders, managers, employees and collaborators) are required to  scrupulously comply with the rules and obligations deriving from the reference legislation on  health, safety, workplace health and environmental protection, as well as the adoption and full  compliance with all measures and procedures in the field of health, safety and environment provided for by the safety assessment system  and environmental protection and internal regulations.  

 Lormar s.r.l. has also adopted a special Protocol, to be understood as attached to the Model, concerning the company policies of so-called social distancing,  in compliance with the "Shared protocol  for the regulation of measures to combat and contain the spread of  the Covid-19 virus in the workplace", signed by the Government with the social partners in March  2020.  

Information management and privacy 

 The privacy of employees and collaborators is protected in compliance with the reference legislation , now adapted to the aforementioned European Regulation, also through operating standards that  specify the information received and the related processing and storage methods. Any investigation into people's ideas, preferences, personal tastes and private lives is  excluded.  

 Employees/collaborators are required to know and implement the provisions of the Company's policies  on information security, to guarantee its integrity, confidentiality and  availability.  

 It is the obligation of each employee/collaborator to ensure the confidentiality required by the circumstances  for each piece of information learned by reason of their job function. 

  9

Conflicts of interest 

 Each employee/collaborator of Lormar s.r.l. is required to avoid all situations and all  activities in which a conflict with the interests of the Company may occur or which may interfere  with their ability to take, impartially, decisions in the best interest  of the company and in full compliance with the rules of the Code of Ethics. He must also refrain from taking  personal advantage of acts of disposal of company assets or business opportunities of which he has  become aware in the course of carrying out his duties.  

 Lormar s.r.l. recognizes and respects the right of its employees and collaborators to participate  in investments, business or other activities outside those carried out in the interest of the  Company, provided that these are activities permitted by law and contractual rules and compatible with  the obligations assumed as employees and collaborators.  

 Any situation that may constitute or determine a conflict of interest must be  promptly communicated by each employee / collaborator to his superior or company representative , or to the SB responsible for supervising the Code of Ethics. In particular, all employees and collaborators of Lormar s.r.l. are required to avoid conflicts of interest between personal and family economic  activities and  the tasks they hold within the structure to which they belong. By way  of example, but not limited to, the following situations determine conflicts of interest:

- use your position within the Company or the information acquired in your work so that you may create conflict between your  personal interests and the interests of the  Company;  

- carry out work activities, of any kind, with customers, suppliers, competitors;  - accept or offer money, favors or benefits from people or companies that are or intend to enter into  business relations with Lormar s.r.l.  

 In the event that even the appearance of a conflict of interest is apparent, the collaborator is  required to inform his managers and / or the Supervisory Body. 

Use and protection of the Company's tangible and intangible assets

 Each employee/collaborator is required to operate with due care and diligence to protect the assets owned by the Company, through responsible behavior and in line with the  operating procedures  prepared to regulate their use, documenting, where appropriate, their use.

Especially:  

- each employee / collaborator is required to avoid improper use that may cause undue costs, damage or reduction in efficiency or that in any case conflict with the interest of the Company;  - each employee / collaborator is required to scrupulously adopt the provisions of internal policies  and procedures, in order not to compromise the functionality, protection and security of  computer systems,  the company's equipment and facilities;

- each employee / collaborator is required to collaborate as far as possible in order to reduce the risks of theft, damage and other threats to the assets and resources assigned or present, informing the  functions in charge in a timely manner in case of abnormal situations (worker reporting model ).   

 Each employee/collaborator is required to know the rules contained in the Code of Ethics and the reference rules governing the activity carried out within the scope of his function, deriving from the  law, from the procedures provided for by the safety assessment and environmental protection system or  from  internal and category regulations.  

 Each employee/collaborator must also explicitly accept their commitments  deriving from this Code of Ethics, at the time of establishment of the employment relationship or the first dissemination of the  Code.  

 In particular, employees/collaborators are obliged to:  

• refrain from conduct contrary to the rules contained in the Code;  

• contact your superiors, company representatives or the SB, in case of request for clarification on  the methods of application of the same; 

11th

• collaborate with the structures responsible for verifying possible violations;  

• adequately inform any third party with whom they come into contact in the context  of work about the existence of the Code and the commitments and obligations imposed by the same on  external parties;  

• require compliance with the obligations that directly affect their activity;  • adopt the appropriate internal and, if within its competence, external initiatives in the event of failure  by third parties to comply with the obligations to comply with the rules of the Code. 

Customers and Suppliers 

 The Company's style of conduct towards customers and suppliers is based  on availability, respect and courtesy, with a view to a collaborative and highly  professional relationship.  

 Lormar s.r.l. pursues its mission through the offer of quality services, at  competitive conditions and in compliance with all the rules placed to protect fair competition.   Employees and collaborators of the Company are obliged to:  

• provide, with efficiency, courtesy and timeliness, within the limits of contractual provisions, high  quality services, which meet the reasonable expectations and needs of the customer;  

• provide, where necessary, in the manner and in the forms provided for by company policies, accurate and exhaustive information about the Company's products and  services, so that the customer can  make informed decisions;  

• comply with truths in advertising or other communications.  

 The correct and transparent relationship with customers and suppliers is an important aspect of  the Company's success.  

 The selection of suppliers and the determination of purchasing conditions are based on  objective parameters such as - first of all - quality, convenience, price, capacity and  efficiency.  

 For Lormar s.r.l. are, therefore, reference requirements:  

• the professionalism of the interlocutor;  

• the availability, properly documented, of means, including financial, organized structures, project skills and resources, know-how,  etc.;

• maintains a frank and open dialogue with suppliers, in line with good business practices .  

 In business relations with customers and suppliers, donations, benefits (both direct  and indirect), gifts, acts of courtesy and hospitality are prohibited, unless they are of such nature and value as not to compromise the image of the Company and cannot be interpreted as aimed at  obtaining preferential treatment that is not  determined by market rules. In any case, any gifts,  acts of courtesy and hospitality that go beyond normality must be  communicated and submitted to the decision of the Administrative Body.  

 The employee who receives gifts or preferential treatment from customers or suppliers that go beyond the ordinary relations of courtesy, must immediately notify the Management, which, after the appropriate checks, will take the  appropriate  measures.  

 The conclusion of a contract with a supplier or a customer and the management of contacts with them  are based on extremely clear relationships, avoiding, as far as possible, excesses of mutual  dependence.  

 To ensure maximum transparency and efficiency of the purchasing process, Lormar s.r.l.  provides:  

• adequate traceability of the choices made;  

• the retention of information, as well as contractual documents for the periods established by current  regulations.  

 With a view to conforming the procurement of goods and services to the ethical and environmental principles  of reference, the Company may request, for particular supplies, social, environmental protection and occupational safety requirements . To this end, specific clauses may be prepared in individual contracts .  

 Furthermore, the Company, and similarly to what happens for suppliers, maintains a periodically updated customer register .

 External communications follow the guiding principles of truth, fairness, transparency,  prudence and are aimed at promoting knowledge of company policies and the Company's programs and  projects.  

 Relations with the mass media are based on these principles and are reserved  exclusively for the functions and responsibilities delegated to do so.  

 Employees/collaborators cannot provide information externally, nor commit to 

15  

provide them, without the authorization of the competent functions.  

 In no way or form may employees/collaborators offer payments, gifts, or other  advantages aimed at influencing the professional activity of functions of the mass media, or that can  reasonably be interpreted as such.  

Relations with the Public Administration 

 Relationships relating to the Company's activities with public officials or public service representatives  (who operate on behalf of the Central and Peripheral Public Administration, or  legislative bodies, EU institutions, international public organizations and any foreign State), with the judiciary, with public supervisory authorities and  with other independent authorities , as well as with private partners concessionaires of a public service, must be  undertaken and managed in absolute and strict compliance with the laws and regulations in force, the principles  established in the Code of Ethics and in the internal protocols of the Model, so as not to compromise  the integrity and reputation of both parties. To this end, the assumption of commitments with Public  Administrations and Public Institutions is reserved exclusively for the functions in charge and authorized that will carry them out in due compliance with the laws and principles of the Code of Ethics and  in full compliance with the internal protocols referred to in  the Model.  

 Lormar s.r.l. prohibits its employees, collaborators or representatives and, more generally, all  those who work in their own interest, in their own name or on their own behalf to accept, promise or offer, even indirectly, money, gifts, goods, services, benefits or undue favors  (also in terms of employment opportunities) in relation to relationships with public officials ,  persons in charge of Public Service or employees, in general, of the Public Administration or other Public Institutions, or private subjects, to influence decisions, in view of more favorable treatment  or undue performance or  for any other purpose.  

 Any employee who directly or indirectly receives requests or offers of money or favors of any kind (including, for example, gifts or gifts of no modest value) improperly formulated  to those, or by those, who work on behalf of the Company in the context of relations  with public officials, public service officers or employees in general of the Public Administration (Italian or other foreign countries) or  other Public  Administrations Institutions, or with private subjects  (Italian or foreign), must immediately report to the Supervisory Body and to the competent Administrative Directorate  for the adoption of the consequent measures.

- the protection of the Company's tangible and intangible assets;  

- the effectiveness and efficiency of management;  

- the reliability of internal and external financial, accounting and management information;  - the effectiveness of the corporate responsibility policies adopted.  

 The responsibility for implementing an effective internal control system is common at every  level of the organisational structure; Consequently, all collaborators, within the scope of the functions performed, are responsible for the definition and correct functioning of  the  control system.

- periodically report to the Administrative Body on the results of the activity carried out, reporting  any significant violations of the Code;  

- express opinions on the revision of the most relevant policies and procedures, in order to ensure consistency with the Code of  Ethics;  

- provide, where necessary, for the proposal for periodic revision of the Code of Ethics.   It is a cause of ineligibility to the SB to have suffered final criminal convictions or to have been  convicted with an irrevocable sentence of application of the penalty. 

Communication and training 

 The Code of Ethics is brought to the attention of all internal and external  interested parties through specific communication activities, such as, by way of example, the delivery of the same  at the time of assuming the office of director or manager; at the time of signing the  employment, representation or collaboration contract; as well as through the publication of the Code of  Ethics on special company bulletin boards, and telematics (intranet and internet).  

 In order to ensure the correct understanding of the Code of Ethics, the Personnel Manager prepares and implements, also on the basis of any indications of the Supervisory Body on the Code, a periodic communication/training plan (annual or  biennial) aimed at promoting knowledge of   the principles and ethical rules contained in the Code. Training  initiatives can be differentiated according to the role and responsibility of employees .  

Reporting of data subjects 

 The Company establishes communication channels through which interested parties  can address their reports regarding the Code or its possible  violations (reporting form).  

 Alternatively, all interested parties can report, in writing and also  anonymously, any violation or suspected violation of the Code of Ethics to the Supervisory Body, which  provides for an analysis of the report, possibly listening to the author and the person in charge of the report.

alleged infringement. The Supervisory Body acts in such a way as to guarantee whistleblowers against  any type of retaliation, understood as an act that may give rise to even the mere suspicion of being a  form of discrimination or penalization. The confidentiality of the identity of  the whistleblower is also ensured, without prejudice to legal obligations.  

Violations of the Code of Ethics 

 In the event of a proven violation of the Code of Ethics, the Supervisory Body reports the report and any suggestions deemed necessary to the Administrative Body through the procedures that the Company adopts for reporting all non-conformities (reporting form ), violations inherent to this Code, the Model and the   procedures contained therein . If such violations concern the directors themselves, the Supervisory  Body will report the report to the Shareholders' Meeting.  

 The competent functions, activated by the aforementioned bodies, define the measures to be taken according to  the regulations in force, take care of their implementation and report the outcome to the SB.  

Guidelines of the sanctioning system

 The violation of the principles set out in the Code of Ethics and in the procedures provided for by the internal protocols  referred to in the Model compromises the fiduciary relationship between the Company and its directors, employees, consultants, collaborators in various capacities, customers, suppliers,  commercial and  financial partners. In particular, compliance with the provisions of this Code of Ethics, as well as the procedures contained in the Model, must be considered an essential part of the  contractual  obligation of employees, pursuant to art. 2104 of the Civil Code, so that the violation of the provisions in question may  constitute a breach of the obligations of the employment relationship and / or disciplinary offense, in  accordance with the procedures pursuant to art. 7 of the Workers' Statute and applicable collective  bargaining. Compliance with this Code of Ethics is an integral part of the contractual  obligations assumed by the other recipients (directors, representatives, suppliers, etc ...), with the consequence  that any violation of the provisions contained therein or of the procedures provided for by the Model, may be considered a breach of contract, with any legal consequences, such as the termination of the contract or the  assignment conferred,  as well as compensation for damages.  

 These violations will therefore be pursued by Lormar s.r.l. incisively, promptly and  immediately, through the disciplinary measures provided for in the Model, in accordance with the provisions of  art. 7 of the Workers' Statute and applicable collective agreements, in an appropriate and proportionate manner , regardless of the possible criminal relevance of such conduct  and the establishment of criminal proceedings in cases where they constitute a crime.

 The effects of the violation of the Code of Ethics and the procedures referred to in the Model must  be taken into serious consideration by all those who in any way have relations with  Lormar s.r.l.: to this end, the Company disseminates the Code of Ethics and internal procedures,  as well as informing about the sanctions provided for in case of violation and the methods and procedures for  imposition.
