1 | Each of Exor N.V. (“Exor”), as successor to Exor S.p.A., and Trust Piero Ferrari participate in the loyalty voting program of Ferrari N.V. (“Ferrari” or the “Issuer”), which enables qualifying common shareholders to hold one special voting share for each common share they hold. Each special voting share is entitled to one vote, therefore attributing, in effect, double voting rights to the associated common share. The special voting shares have only de minimis economic entitlements, in compliance with Dutch law and they are transferrable only in very limited circumstances together with the associated common share. As a consequence of participating in the loyalty voting program, Exor beneficially owns, in addition to the common shares indicated above, 44,435,280 special voting shares of Ferrari. As noted below, Trust Piero Ferrari has the bare ownership of 18,892,160 special voting shares of Ferrari, of which Piero Ferrari has usufruct; such usufruct includes the voting rights of the special voting shares. |
2 | Includes (i) 44,435,280 Ferrari common shares owned by Exor and (ii) 18,894,295 Ferrari common shares of which Trust Piero Ferrari has bare ownership and Piero Ferrari has usufruct. Exor, Piero Ferrari and Trust Piero Ferrari are party to a Shareholders’ Agreement the terms of which are described in Item 6. |
3 | This percentage does not take into account voting rights arising from the Issuer’s loyalty voting program in which certain shareholders are eligible to hold one special voting share for each qualifying common share held. Taking into account Exor’s ownership of special voting shares described in footnote 1 above, Exor’s voting power in the Issuer is approximately 36.22%, Piero Ferrari’s voting power in the Issuer is approximately 15.40% and in aggregate their voting power in Ferrari is approximately 51.62%. These percentages are calculated as the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of common shares and special voting shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons to (ii) the total number of outstanding common shares and outstanding special voting shares of Ferrari. |

(a) In respect to the Reporting Persons, rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Amendment are hereby incorporated by reference.
Furthermore, the following persons listed in Schedule A to the Original 13D beneficially own common shares of Ferrari. The holdings below do not include and are separate from common shares held by Exor.

(b) In respect to the Reporting Persons, rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Amendment are hereby incorporated by reference.

(e) There are no changes to the information set out in paragraph (e) of Item 5 of the Original 13D, as amended, and such information is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:
On December 16, 2022, Exor, Piero Ferrari and the Trust entered into the Adherence and Amendment Agreement, whereby the Trust became a party to the Shareholders Agreement, in order to effect the adherence by the Trust to the Shareholders Agreement and to amend certain provisions of the Shareholders Agreement. Ferrari is not a party to the Adherence and Amendment Agreement and does not have any rights or obligations thereunder. A copy of the Adherence and Amendment Agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Consultation
The consultation rights and obligations set forth in the Shareholders Agreement will continue to apply solely between Exor and Piero Ferrari, and will not apply to the Trust.
The Adherence and Amendment Agreement further provides that, in the event of (i) consolidation upon the Trust of the usufruct on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by Piero Ferrari, and the bare ownership on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by the Trust, or (ii) any other transfer of the usufruct on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by Piero Ferrari, to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement), the consultation rights and obligations set forth in the Shareholders Agreement shall automatically terminate and cease to have any validity and effect and a new consultation procedure shall automatically come into force and effect between Exor and the relevant Permitted Transferee (including the Trust, if applicable). Such new consultation procedure shall entail no obligation on the parties to reach a common view and each of Exor and the relevant Permitted Transferee (including the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, if applicable), shall at all times remain free to exercise its voting rights independently.
Pre-emption right in favor of Exor and right of first offer of Piero Ferrari
The Adherence and Amendment Agreement provides that, except for Permitted Transfers (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement), the bare ownership on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by the Trust, and the usufruct on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by Piero Ferrari, shall not be transferred separately. In the event of the joint transfer of such bare ownership and usufruct, the pre-emptive right of Exor, as set out in Article 4 of the Shareholders Agreement, will apply.
The right of first offer set forth in the Shareholders Agreement will be solely in favor of Piero Ferrari; the Trust will not have any rights in connection with such right of first offer.
Succession
The Adherence and Amendment Agreement further provides that, in the event of (i) consolidation upon the Trust of the usufruct on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by Mr. Ferrari, and the bare ownership on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by the Trust, or (ii) any other transfer of the usufruct on the common shares of Ferrari, as held by Mr. Ferrari, to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement), all rights and obligations
pertaining to Piero Ferrari under the Shareholders Agreement other than the consultation rights and obligations described above (and, therefore, including the right of first offer) shall automatically be transferred to the relevant Permitted Transferee (including the Trust, if applicable) to the extent that such provisions cannot be classified as acting in concert provisions within the meaning of the Dutch applicable laws and regulations.
Term
Upon the 5th anniversary of its entry into force (i.e., on 3 January 2021), the Shareholders Agreement was renewed for an additional 5 (five) year period. The Shareholders Agreement is, therefore, currently set to expire on 3 January 2026.
