Letter from the Chair

of the Committee for the Remuneration and the Nominations

Dear Shareholders,

Together with the other members of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, I hereby present to you the Report on the 2022 Remuneration Policy and compensation paid for 2021, structured as required by article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance and approved by the Board of Directors on March 17th , 2022.

2021 continued to be characterized by events of significant and extraordinary nature, with relevant effects on the economic and social context. The health emergency connected to COVID-19 continues to have consequences on the global and national economic and social context, further confirming the need for increasing attention to sustainability as a solution for resilience and value creation. Despite the scenario difficulties, the Company was able to achieve important results, also through some extraordinary operations, thanks to the commitment of the human resources working in this Group.

In this context, we believe that the remuneration policy represents a strategic element to sustain results, guiding Company's behaviours and remunerating the great contribution of our people to Recordati. PHOTO

Despite the pandemic, the Committee has continued its work on key remuneration topics, also through more indepth analysis on the vote implemented at the last Shareholders' Meeting. This analysis reflected in some improvements in the Policy to further align the interests of Shareholders and Stakeholders. In addition, the Policy is, increasingly, a governance lever supporting the Company's strategic plan, acting in full compliance with the Italian and European reference legislation and introducing market best practices.

In order to develop and guarantee a constant and direct connection with our investors and proxy advisors, at Recordati the Committee's agenda is also permeated by the engagement plan. This plan aims to create a communication channel with those who have an interest in our Company. All the feedback collected during the engagement meetings, and the analyses we performed, provided us with important inputs for the amendments we have included in this Report and, in general, in Recordati's 2022 Remuneration Policy.

Continuous improvement is a Recordati value which also impacts our behaviour. For the purpose of further aligning to the current legislation and improving the transparency and usability of this Policy, Recordati has decided:

  • To provide evidence on the new Governance that Recordati has decided to adopt;
  • To provide more information about the engagement activities carried out;
  • To better qualify how the Policy intends to increase the pursuit of long-term interests, with increasing and non-formal attention to sustainability issues and the connection with Recordati's new Sustainability Plan;
  • To review the incentive curve of the short-term system in order to bring it in line with market practices;
  • To continue providing transparency and valuable information to the market, describing the market references and the peer groups used in carrying out the analyses on the competitiveness of the remuneration packages;
  • To gradually overcome some elements of attention regarding severance.

During 2021, the Remuneration and Nominations Committee has reviewed the short-term variable incentive scheme aimed at ensuring greater alignment with market best practices and with investors' and proxy advisors' recommendations. This intervention comes after the important work carried out in 2020 on long-term incentives, that led to the introduction of the new 2021-2023 Stock Option plan aligned with best market practices.

In this context of strong transformation and strategic innovation, we believe that these Guidelines on Remuneration Policy are consistent with the Group's clear and distinctive vision and confirm our people's value as a fundamental competitive advantage with a view to achieving long-term sustainable results for Investors and other stakeholders.

Finally, I would like to thank you for the attention paid to this Report, wishing the new Committee, that will be appointed after the work of the Assembly approving the balance sheet as of 31.12.2021, a good job and I hope that they will find in the principles already defined some solid basis for defining future remuneration.

Best regards,

Joanna Le Couilliard Chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee

The decision to adopt a rolling plan
resulted will allow an easier
alignment in terms of motivation and
retention.
In addition, a 24 month lockup period
following the vesting date is
envisaged for the DIRS. There is,
however, a cap to the maximum
number of options available, equal to
10,400,000 options in total and
400,000 options per individual.
Chair: is not included in the beneficiaries of the Plans.
CEO:
• Stock Option Plan: number of options granted in line with
the position held and based on best market practices.
Key Management Personnel:
• Stock Options Plan: number of options granted in line with
the position held and based on best market practices.

To balance the fixed component aimed at remunerating the position held and the variable component, short and long term, aimed at ensuring a deep link between the remuneration of the Management, the performance of the Company and the creation of value for the Shareholders.

Pay Mix

In order to determine the pay mix, the following elements have been considered:

• fixed remuneration;

  • target performances in relation to the short-term incentive scheme;
  • an estimate of the fair value of the options assigned by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2022, based on the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan5

For key management personnel, the average values of the individual elements mentioned above are considered.

The Company guarantees internal and external fairness and adequacy in order to ensure the consistency and competitiveness of the total remuneration granted to its top management roles. For this reason, it also takes into account the results of the salary surveys each year.

5 The weight of the medium-long term component reflects the fair value of the 2022 assignment influenced by the strike price and by past volatility.

2022 New Features

Taking into account the important governance and business evolutions that took place during 2021, the 2022 Remuneration Policy Guidelines - within the remit of the Shareholders' Meeting for the renewal of the Board of Directors that will define the related remuneration and the decisions that will be taken by the new Board of Directors - provide for the following changes in order to further align Recordati's Policy with best practices and to incorporate the valuable information collected during the engagement season:

  • A revision of the curve of the MBO system in order to improve alignment it with market practices;
  • A remodelling within the MBO system for the CEO of the maximum opportunity limiting it to a value equal to 100% of the fixed remuneration;
  • the inclusion of a specific ESG objective for the CEO as part of the MBO program;
  • a remodelling of the relative importance of the Acquisition / licensing objectives and the achievement of some milestones relating to the sustainable integration with EUSA Pharma in Recordati Group;
  • The gradual alignment of severance agreements to the limits of 24 months.

Finally, it seems worth mentioning the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021 which is fully aligned with the best market practices by preventing a strong alignment between the interests of Management and shareholders thanks to:

  • Three-year vesting period;
  • Presence of a lockup period of further 24 months after the maturation of the Options in order to further incentivize the top management's work towards sustainable long-term growth and act as an additional retention lever;
  • Quantification of the reward component in consideration of the appreciation of the Company's value;
  • Presence of a performance condition at the end of the vesting period.

Section I: 2022 Remuneration Policy Report

1.1 Voting results and investor feedback

Recordati attaches great importance to the annual analysis of the results of shareholders' meeting votes, as well as to the opinion of the main recipients and users of its Remuneration Policy, in order to ensure a constant improvement in adopting market best practices, taking into account some of the indications for improvement coming in particular from shareholders and proxy advisors.

The Annual General Shareholders' Meeting on 20th April 2021 voted in favour of Section I of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and the Remuneration Paid published in 2021. The chart below illustrates the result of the binding vote, which highlighted a substantial confirmation of the votes in favor compared to the previous Annual General Meeting.

The voting result of the Shareholders' Meeting of 20th April 2021 was analysed within the overall governance framework that characterises the Company's remuneration and incentive policies and schemes. The main reasons to the against votes mainly concerned the termination payments for selected employees which can exceed 24 months' pay; this issue was addressed during 2021.

Further to this analysis process, Recordati has therefore implemented the activities necessary to ensure an improvement in the Remuneration Policy and in this Report, performing in-depth analyses of the indications received from Institutional Investors and Proxy Advisors at the last Shareholders' Meeting, with the objective of developing the considerations expressed by them with regard to the main areas of improvement in the Report on the Remuneration Policy and the Remuneration Paid. As a result, the new Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert Koremans, appointed by the Board of Directors of 1st December 2021, is not entitled to receive a severance pay outside the provisions of the Civil Code.

Furthermore, with this Report, Recordati continues to guarantee a high level of transparency, an element which it considers to be fundamental for proper relations with its shareholders.

1.2 Engagement activities carried out by Recordati

\

Recordati promotes dialogue with its shareholders and institutional investors as an essential element to positively influence the Company's behaviour and increase the degree of transparency. In this context, the Company has established a constant and continuous relationship with proxy advisors and the main institutional investors in order to encourage their involvement in the process of defining and verifying the actual methods of implementing the Remuneration Policy for Directors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities.

This activity is carried out through the development of an engagement plan carried out on an annual basis that provides for the participation of the corporate functions of Human Resources, Investor Relations and Legal Affairs supported by the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee to highlight the commitment of the Committee itself on matters within their competence.

The results, indications and feedback that emerged during the engagement activity, once reported, are examined and evaluated by the Remuneration Committee in order to provide any clarifications and verify the overcoming of potential critical issues. Finally, the Committee reports to the Board of Directors on the relevant developments and significant content arising from these engagement activities, through the Chairman or other member designated by the Chairman

1.3 Pay mix of the Chief Executive Officer and Key Management Personnel

Below evidence is provided regarding the estimation of the pay mix for 2022 of the current Chief Executive Officer and Key Management Personnel, i.e. the percentage breakdown of the individual remunerative components within the overall package in the case of target performance.

x 6 Target Pay Mix7

6 For the purpose of determining the pay mix, target performance is assumed with regard to the short-term incentive system, while for the long-term incentive system an estimate of the fair value of the options relating to the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan assigned on 24 February 2022 is considered. The weight of the medium-long term component reflects the fair value of the 2022 assignment influenced by the strike price and by past volatility of the stock. For Key Personnel, the average values of the individual elements of the compensation package are considered

2. Governance

of the remuneration process

2.1 Bodies and persons involved

The definition of the Remuneration Policy for the members of Recordati's Board of Directors (hereinafter also referred to as the 'BoD') involves a number of individuals and corporate bodies in accordance with the provisions of the Company's By-Laws and current legislation. According to these regulatory and statutory provisions:

  • the Shareholders' Meeting determines the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, at the time of appointment and for the entire term of office;
  • the Board of Directors determines the remuneration of the Chair, of the Directors with delegated powers and for participation in the Board Committees, following consultation of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

In accordance with Recordati's governance model, the Board of Directors is also responsible for defining the objectives and approving the company results referred to in the performance plans, to which the determination of the variable remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and of the Group General Manager is linked, as well as defining the general criteria for the remuneration of other Key Management Personnel.

Finally, in line with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors is supported, with regard to remuneration issues, by a Remuneration and Nominations Committee composed of independent non-executive Directors with advisory and consultative functions on the matter.

2.1.1 Shareholders' Meeting

The duties of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to law and the By-Laws, limited to the issues covered by this Report, are:

  • to appoint and dismiss Directors, appoint Statutory Auditors and the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • to determine the remuneration of Directors and Statutory Auditors;
  • to approve the Incentive Plans based on financial instruments or on performance objectives linked to the Company's share price performance;
  • to express a binding vote on the approval of the first section of the Company's Remuneration Report, pursuant to article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance;
  • to express a non-binding vote on the approval of the second section of the Company's Remuneration Report, pursuant to article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

2.1.3 Remuneration and Nominations Committee

Composition

On 29th October 2020, the Board of Directors resolved to integrate the functions conferred on the Remuneration Committee - set up in 2001, in compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code in force at the time - with the functions assigned by the new Corporate Governance Code to the Nominations Committee, and consequently to change the name of the Remuneration Committee to the Remuneration and Nominations Committee.

The Committee currently in office was appointed by the Board on 5th February 2019 (further to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting that appointed the new Board of Directors on the same date), and is entirely composed of non-executive, independent Directors with specific financial expertise:

The Board of Directors nominated by 29th April 2022 AGM will appoint the new Remuneration Committee for the 2022-2024 term of office.

2.1.4 Other intra-board Committees

It should be noted that, where provided for by internal regulations and corporate governance processes, specific remuneration and incentive issues are also discussed in the Risk, Control and CSR Committee, which formulates its opinion, making use, where deemed necessary, of the relevant internal functions.

2.2 Policy approval process

In line with the relevant laws and regulations in force and with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the decision-making process leading to the implementation of the Remuneration Policy and the responsibility for its correct application takes place in the following phases in which many parties are involved:

    1. The Remuneration and Nominations Committee, supported by the Group's Human Resources Department, draws up the Company's Remuneration Policy for Directors, the General Manager7 and the Key Management Personnel;
    1. The Remuneration and Nominations Committee may avail itself of the assistance of independent experts on the matter;
    1. The Remuneration and Nominations Committee submits the Policy for the Board of Directors' approval which adopts its contents regarding the remuneration policy of Directors and the Key Management Personnel and the short and long-term incentive plans. Moreover, with regard to the determination of the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and of the other Directors vested with special duties, the Board

7 At the date of this Report there is no General Manager in place

takes into account the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors;

  1. The Board of Directors, having examined and approved the Policy, submits it to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting.

2.3 Independent experts and other persons involved

Recordati regularly monitors market performance, including through the use of remuneration benchmarks which detect the practices adopted by the main market and industry players. In carrying out these analyses, Recordati made use of independent consultancy firms, which, through benchmarking remuneration surveys and reports on Executive Compensation and Corporate Governance, provided useful information in order to verify the competitiveness of the Company's remuneration offer.

In addition, the Company decided to avail itself of the support of the consultancy firm Willis Towers Watson also in relation to the preparation of this Report, as well as the identification of market practices in terms of remuneration of the CEO, the Key Management Personnel and the Non-Executive Directors.

For the purposes of defining the Company's Remuneration Policy, the Group Human Resources Department prepares the guidelines. This function also acts as an internal technical support body for the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, for which it prepares the preparatory material for the Committee's activities. The Administration, Finance and Control Department assists in identifying and assessing the economic and financial objectives underlying the short and long-term incentive systems. The heads of the other company departments are also consulted in order to define the project objectives or objectives relating to specific issues regarding short-term incentive systems.

The Remuneration Policy may, if necessary or appropriate, be updated by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, which is responsible for periodically assessing, as better described below, its adequacy, overall consistency and effective application.

2.4 Derogation procedure in exceptional circumstances

Exceptional circumstances are defined as only situations in which a derogation of the remuneration policy is necessary in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay in the market.

If the conditions are met, the Board of Directors, on the advice of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee as the Committee responsible for Related Party Transactions as provided for in the relevant Group Procedure, may temporarily8 derogate the remuneration policy in the circumstances identified above, limited to the following elements set out in Chapter 3 of Section I of this document:

3.The Company's

Remuneration Policy

3.1 Purposes of the Policy and its link with corporate strategy

The purposes pursued with the Remuneration Policy, which has a yearly duration, are to meet the objective of establishing a remuneration that meets the requirements to:

  • be sufficient to attract, retain and motivate Managers with the professional qualifications required to successfully manage the organisational and managerial complexity of the Company and of the Group;
  • align Managers' interests with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating value for shareholders in the medium to long-term horizon;
  • leave a significant part of the total remuneration linked to the achievement of specific performance objectives, both qualitative and quantitative, determined in advance and in line with the development lines of the Company and of the Group.

The Remuneration Policy is also defined in line with the strategy of the Company and of the Group.

Recordati's strategic vision is to continue with the profitable growth that the Company has been sustaining since the early nineties, focusing on both organic growth and development through strategic acquisitions in both the Rare Diseases business and in the Specialty and Primary Care business, with the objective of strengthening its presence in selected markets worldwide. In fact, over the last few decades, the Group has grown steadily, thanks to the success of its products and its growth model based on internalisation and diversification, implemented precisely through an acquisition strategy that is still underway. All of this takes place in a context of searching for new opportunities and continuous market evolution.

In addition, starting in 2018, the Company has also undertaken several initiatives in the field of sustainability. In fact, given the nature of the Company, sustainability is an integral part of the Group's strategy, aimed at bringing benefits not only to patients but also to all the stakeholders with whom the Company interacts, including shareholders, customers, scientific and business partners, collaborators and local communities.

To this end, each of the remuneration components offered to the Company's Management responds to a precise purpose for the pursuit of this strategic vision and, thanks to an adequate balance between fixed and variable components, contributes to the structuring of a remuneration package that, overall, ensures an effective alignment between Management remuneration and shareholders' interests, expressed primarily by the proportionality between the value of the variable components accrued and the results achieved, both in the short and long-term.

Below are the features of Recordati's Remuneration Policy, confirming its alignment to the interests of its shareholders:

Remuneration component Features and Purposes
Fixed remuneration
It includes all the fixed annual remuneration (i.e. gross annual salary from
employment, remuneration for directors, remuneration for special positions).

It is defined in such a way as to be adequately balanced with respect to the
variable component and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and
risk management policy, also taking into account the characteristics of the
industry in which the Company operates.
STI
(Short-term variable
incentive)

It is commensurate with the role held, as well as on the nature of the impact on
the Company's overall results in the short-term.

It is linked to the achievement of annual, quantitative and/or qualitative
performance objectives that are objectively measurable and consistent with the
objectives set out in the Company's strategic plan and sustainability policy.

It is designed – in line with market practice - to be reduced or increased in
proportion to the level of performance generated with respect to the objectives
assigned.
LTI
(Stock Option)

It is commensurate with the role held, as well as on the nature of the impact on
the Company's overall results in the long-term.

It is linked to the primary objective of creating value for shareholders, consistent
with the objectives of the strategic plan.

The objectives of the variable incentive systems themselves have been identified to support the Company's strategy, as illustrated below:

\

Economic and financial objectives:

These are the main objectives. Operating Income, Revenues and Net Profit are objectives that represent measures capable of summarizing Recordati's many businesses and thus to fully assess the Group's results.

7

Value creation for Shareholders:

The natural connection of the Stock Option plan with the value of the Recordati's share price determines a strong alignment between the interests of the Shareholders and those of the Top Management further strengthened by the total of 5 years time horizon (of which 2 refer to lockup period).

Growth through strategic acquisitions:

Among the objectives of the MBO scheme, the Acquisition/Licensing objective, assigned to the Chief Executive Officer in addition to the EUSA Pharma plan integration and certain Key Management Personnel, supports the Group's acquisition strategy, which has always been a key element for the growth of the Company.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG):

The implementation of a new style of work more oriented towards work-life balance, a growing attention to gender diversity, the adoption of production methods more oriented towards environmental sustainability are elements present in the remuneration policy to strengthen the link with the strategy regarding environmental, social and governance issues

Recordati's Remuneration Policy is also consistent for all employees. In fact, the Company monitors the remuneration and working conditions of its employees annually. The definition of transparent remuneration policies and based on merit, the training activities designed to develop new skills, the offer of additional benefits for all employees are fundamental in this respect.

3.1.1 Recordati's Sustainability Plan

In 2020 Recordati has formalized the first Group Sustainability Plan, a fundamental tool for sharing with stakeholders the Company's future path.

The Plan represents the Group's ambitions to contribute to sustainable and responsible development. In 2021, in a logic of continuous improvement, Recordati worked on updating the objectives included in the Plan, after revisiting the Materiality Matrix.

The Plan, defined in accordance with the Materiality Matrix of the Recordati group, focuses on five priority areas: ethics and integrity, responsibility towards patients, attention to people, environmental protection, responsible procurement. Such principles guide the Group's daily operations in a transdisciplinary manner.

The Plan provides for periodic monitoring and updating, in order to report on the status of project implementation and to set new future objectives in the field of ESG sustainability.

More information on Recordati's Sustainability Plan are available in the 2021 Consolidated Non-Financial Statement published on the Company's website.

Recordati's Remuneration Policy is closely linked to its Sustainability Plan. Among the objectives of the CEO's

MBO system, there are the main social and environmental objectives of the Sustainability Plan. In addition, social and environmental objectives, linked to the implementation of the Plan itself, are attributed to a manager with strategic responsibility, the Executive VP Group Industrial Operations. ESG objectives are also attributed to other Managers of the Group, among the objectives of the STI (MBO) system. The assignment of these objectives supports the strategy on environmental, social and governance issues, focusing the attention of Top Management on the implementation of the Plan.

3.1.2 Compensation and working conditions of employees

The Company monitors working conditions and remuneration annually, in order to promote a consistent remuneration policy for all employees, both at Headquarter and Subsidiary level, in line with the Principles of the Sustainability Policy, the latest version of which was made public in 2021. Among the most significant commitments in the Human Resources area, there are initiatives relating to the area of:

  • Health & Safety
  • Training

\

  • Engagement activities
  • Diversity & Inclusion also with a focus on the gender gap and gender representation in the companies of the Group
  • Benefits and welfare policies

3.2 Principles and criteria underlying the Policy

The principles and criteria underlying the Remuneration Policy are as follows:

  • to facilitate the pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company;
  • to provide for a balance between the fixed and variable components depending on the role performed, i.e. the nature of the impact on the Company's overall results - that is appropriate and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, taking into account the business' characteristics and the industry in which it operates, providing that the variable component represents in any case a significant part of the overall remuneration;
  • to provide for maximum limits for variable components in line with the objectives of the strategic plan -, linking them to predetermined, measurable, qualitative and quantitative performance objectives linked to the creation of value for shareholders in both the short and medium to long-term horizon;
  • to encourage the retention and protection of the Group's key resources by encouraging them to remain within the Group.

3.3 Implementation of the 2022 Remuneration Policy

For Directors, the Remuneration Policy Guidelines for the new 2022-2024 mandate approved by the Board of Directors on March 17th , 2022 provide - in continuity with the current Policy - the set of remuneration consistent with the role complexity and the required commitment, in line with market benchmarks.

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for April 29th , 2022 will define the relative remuneration as far as it is concerned

In implementing the aforementioned principles, it should be noted that:

  • the remuneration of Directors not vested with special duties is determined in order to ensure full alignment with the activities required by participation in the Board of Directors and the Board Committees, with a differentiation in the Chair's remuneration with respect to the members of each Committee;
  • the remuneration of the Chair of the Board of Directors consists of a fixed remuneration commensurate with the position held;
  • the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is adequately balanced between:
    • a fixed component, commensurate with the powers and/or responsibilities assigned;
    • a variable component linked to the achievement of predetermined, measurable and defined objectives so as to ensure the remuneration of the performance in both the short and the long-term timeline, in line with the economic and financial targets of the Group's Strategic Plan.

There is an end-of-service allowance in excess of the limit of 24 months (36 months) for a Manager with Strategic Responsibilities (see below sub. par. 3.8.3). In 2021, the Company and the aforementioned Manager with Strategic Responsibilities have agreed that the relative employment contract will end by consensus on June 30, 2022.

3.4 Remuneration of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors

This section highlights the main features of the remuneration policy for the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

3.6 Remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and of Executive Directors

The Remuneration Policy for Recordati's actual Chief Executive Officer as executive Directors is defined in accordance with the specific powers granted to the role, the purposes on which the Company's Remuneration Policy is based, as well as the remuneration levels and best market practices.

With respect to the other Executive Directors, defined as such in accordance with the provisions of the Code, namely, at the date of this report,

  • Giampiero Mazza;
  • Cathrin Petty;

\

• Giorgio De Palma;

it is stressed that the Shareholders' Meeting of 5th February 2019 and, as for Mr. Giorgio De Palma, the Shareholders' Meeting of 29th April 2020, on the basis of the proposal made by the shareholder FIMEI S.p.A., did not resolve upon any remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, in favour of these persons (without prejudice to the right of reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their duties) as they had previously declared that they did not wish to receive any remuneration. Therefore, the details of only the two aforementioned positions are shown below.

The overall remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is structured into a fixed component of a short-term variable and a long-term variable, identified as follows:

3.6.1 Market references and peer groups

During 2021, Recordati performed a benchmark analysis to verify that the remuneration packages of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer were aligned to best market practices.

Remuneration benchmark for the Chairman of the Board of Directors

For the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the assessment of the remuneration position was carried out with reference to the role of non-executive Chairman of listed Italian companies in the industrial sector. For the purposes of identifying the reference cluster for Recordati, companies comparable to Recordati in terms of market capitalization and share structure were considered.

3.6.2 Fixed component of remuneration

The fixed component of the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is commensurate with the duties and responsibilities assigned. Moreover, in line with the Corporate Governance Code, this component is determined in such a way as to be adequately balanced with respect to the variable component and consistent with the company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, also taking into account the characteristics of the industry in which the Company operates and which is listed. However, the variable component is expected to represent a significant part of the total remuneration.

The Remuneration Policy of the current CEO is defined in accordance with the specific powers conferred, as well as with the remuneration levels and market best practices.

Below are the elements that make up the fixed remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer:

Chief Executive Officer
Remuneration pursuant to article
2389, paragraph 1, of the Italian
Civil Code
€ 60,000
Remuneration for special positions
pursuant to article 2389, paragraph
3, of the Italian Civil Code9
€ 890,000
Total Remuneration € 950,000

For the CEO, the Remuneration Policy Guidelines for the new 2022-2024 mandate approved by the Board of Directors on March 17th, 2022 provide - in continuity with the current Policy - the definition of remuneration consistent with the complexity of the role and the commitment required, in line with market benchmarks.

The Shareholder' meeting and Board of Directors of April 29th , 2022 will determine - as far as it is competent - the related remuneration.

3.6.3 Short-term variable component (STI)

The short-term variable component of the remuneration package for the Chief Executive Officer is linked to an incentive scheme by objectives (MBO, Management by Objectives). On the basis of this scheme, a bonus is paid in cash on the achievement of the annual results defined by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, and measured according to pre-established management parameters and weights.

Specifically, the MBO system provides for the assignment to each beneficiary of economic-financial objectives (Group Operating Margin, Group Net Revenues and Group Net Profit) and individual strategic objectives. There is also a circuit breaker identified in the Group's Operating Margin indicator, which if not achieved will result in the zeroing of the entire bonus.

Through the inclusion among the individual objectives of each beneficiary of an important Group objective such as the Operating Income, Recordati's MBO system tends not so much to reward individual performance in itself, but rather individual performance in a context of operating results such as to allow the payment of bonuses, in line therefore with the principle of aligning the interests of Management and Shareholders and with a view to pursuing the Company's long-term interests in line with Strategical Plan.

The following tables show the performance objectives defined for 2022 for the Chief Executive Officer:

CIRCUIT BREAKER ON/OFF CONDITION

\

The Company reserves the right not to provide the annual value of the parameters as it considers this information to be sensitive. More detailed information regarding the level of achievement of the objectives will only be communicated at the end of the performance period.

The right to payment of the bonus accruals upon approval by the Board of Directors of the consolidated financial statements, which show that at least 95% of the Group Operating Income objective that was set when the objective was determined has been achieved. The payment of the bonus is made during the financial year in which the aforementioned consolidated financial statements are approved.

The amount of the incentive actually paid varies according to the level of achievement of the targets assigned to the individual objectives. The following charts illustrate the bonus opportunities awarded to the Chief Executive Officer according to their financial objectives (Group Operating Income, Group Net Revenues and Group Net Profit):

For the Chief Executive Officer, the remaining 35% of the bonus is calculated on the basis of the Acquisition/Licensing objective and the achievement of objectives related to the integration of EUSA Pharma as well as the completion of the ESG initiatives for 2022 as part of the Sustainability Plan, whose incentive curve is illustrated in the following chart:

\

In the event of failure to achieve 95% of the Group Operating Income objective, nothing is due. In the event of overperformance, it is not possible to obtain a bonus higher than the maximum one set, which for the Chief Executive Officer is equal to 100% of his fixed remuneration.

The following table summarizes the potential bonus pay-outs for the Chief Executive Officer according to the different performance levels:

CEO
Threshold 380.000 €
Target 641.250 €
Maximum 950.000 €

The short-term variable component to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer is equal to € 950,000 gross per year if the maximum overall performance is achieved.

In setting the MBO objectives of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors may, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, assess the achievement of such objectives net of significant extraordinary items, where appropriate, on an equitable basis.

At present, there is no need to defer the payment of this bonus with respect to the time when the right to receive it is acquired, because it is part of a scheme that is already significantly challenging and which, with a view to continuity, favours the setting of the same objectives for each financial year; moreover, the circuit breaker of the scheme and its main objective, represented by the Group Operating Income, is a target that all the above persons contribute to achieving, without the individual person being able to influence this achievement exclusively. Finally, it should be noted that the deferral of part of the variable remuneration is in any case ensured by the long-term incentive scheme based on the assignment of Stock Options, as described below, further strengthened by the lockup mechanism bundle in the same plan for Key Management Personnel.

Without prejudice to the right to compensation for any further damages, the Company reserves the right, within 5 years from the payment and regardless of whether the relationship is still ongoing or terminated, to request the Chief Executive Officer to refund the bonus already paid (the so-called 'clawback'), if one of the following cases occurs:

  • fraudulent and/or gross negligently behaviour by the beneficiary to the detriment of the Group;
  • serious and intentional breaches of law and/or of the Code of Ethics and/or of company rules;
  • payment of the bonus on the basis of data which subsequently result as manifestly inaccurate or fraudulently altered.

3.6.4 Long-term variable component (LTI)

A significant component of the variable remuneration of Recordati's Chief Executive Officer is oriented towards a long-term horizon in order to strengthen the interests of sustainable creation of value for Shareholders and Stakeholders and is based on the assignment of Stock Options.

The Recordati Group, as in previous years, deems that this scheme ensures the full and constant alignment between the interests of Top Management and that of Shareholders, as it is naturally linked to the growth in value of the Recordati Share.

During 2020, the Company defined the new 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021.

It should also be noted that the 2014-2018 Stock Option Plan and the 2018-2022 Stock Plan, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting respectively on 17th April 2014 and on 18th April 2018 respectively (and subsequently amended on 11th April 2019) continue to regulate the tranches of options allocated on the basis of those plans.

The Stock Option plan 2021-2023 provides for the grant to the beneficiaries of the right to purchase a certain number of the Company's Shares at a predetermined price (strike price or exercise price), after a certain period of time (vesting period) has elapsed, once the condition for the achievement of the performance objective indicated below has been met, a right to be exercised within a certain period of time (the end of the eighth financial year following the grant of the options).

The grant of options under the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan occurs on annual basis (the so-called 'rolling approach') and takes place in three cycles starting from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 financial years. The number of options granted to each beneficiary is linked to the importance of the organisational role held by the various top positions. There is, however, a cap to the number of options available, equal to 10,400,000 options in total and 400,000 options per individual. The Executive Directors include the Company's Chief Executive Officer as beneficiary.

The exercise price of each new grant is established by using the fair market value calculation (the arithmetic average of the Company's share prices quoted on the market in the period running from the date of grant of the options and the same day of the previous calendar month).

Options granted to beneficiaries vest no less than 3 years after the grant date (so-called 'vesting period').

An essential condition for the exercise of each of the options granted is the achievement of a performance objective, which is based on the Adjusted Net Income cumulated over the three-year reference period. The existence of a performance clause in the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan is also in line with the principle of consistency of the Remuneration Policy with the pursuit of the interests of the Company and its Shareholders to which the interests of management must be aligned.

The vested options may be exercised at any time during each financial year, provided that they must be exercised no later than the end of the eighth financial year following the financial year in which they were granted.

The beneficiaries will be entitled to exercise the options granted to them earlier than the relevant vesting date, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company resulting in the delisting of the Company's ordinary shares from a regulated market.

The Plan also requires beneficiaries who are members of Recordati's top management to continuously hold a number of shares - equal to 50% of the shares resulting after the sale of the shares necessary to cover the payment of the exercise price and the tax, social security and welfare charges connected with the exercise of the options until the end of the 24th month following the relevant vesting date.

The following is a timeline of the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan for the second allocation cycle pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors of 24 February 2022:

Lock-up period on 50% of
resulting shares
2022
2023
2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030
Grant date Vesting date End of lock
up period
period End of exercise
Vesting period Exercise period

Without prejudice to the right to compensation for any further damages, the Company reserves the right (so-called 'clawback'), within 5 years from the vesting date and regardless of whether the relationship is still in existence or terminated, to obtain from the Beneficiary to revoke the Exercisable Options or to return the shares held by the Beneficiary (less a number of shares of a value corresponding to the exercise price of the Options and the tax, social security and welfare contributions connected with the exercise of the Options, possibly also by offsetting them against the remuneration and/or severance indemnity of the Beneficiary) if the shares of the Beneficiary have already been sold, should any of the following cases occur:

  • fraudulent and/or grossly negligent behaviour of the beneficiary to the detriment of the Group;
  • serious and intentional violations of laws and/or the Code of Ethics and/or company rules;
  • payment of the bonus on the basis of data that is subsequently found to be manifestly inaccurate or intentionally altered.

For further information on the Plans, please refer to the information documents published in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's website:

3.7 Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

Key Management Personnel are those persons who have the power and responsibility, directly or indirectly, for planning, management and control of the Company's activities. At the date of this Report, the following persons are Key Management Personnel:

• Luigi La Corte – Group Chief Financial Officer;

\

  • Alberto Martinez Executive VP Specialty and Primary Care Business Unit;
  • Scott Pescatore– Executive VP Rare Disease Business Unit;
  • Gabriele Finzi Executive VP Global Corporate Development & Licensing;
  • Roberto Teruzzi Executive VP Group Industrial Operations;
  • Raffaele Sabia Senior VP Pharmaceutical Research & Development.

In defining the Remuneration Policy for Key Management Personnel, it was taken into account that these were recipients of a Policy in which a part of the remuneration is linked to the achievement of specific performance objectives, non-financial objectives, predetermined, measurable and linked in significant part to a long-term horizon. They are consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and are aimed at promoting its sustainable success (Article 5, Recommendation 27 of the Corporate Governance Code).

The managerial employment relationship of Key Management Personnel in Italy is governed by the applicable National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL) of companies producing goods and services in force. For other Key Management Personnel employed by the Group's foreign subsidiaries, the employment relationship is governed by the applicable local regulations and, where applicable, by the collective bargaining agreements provided where the subsidiary is located. In Italy the general treatments provided for Executives are applicable to Key Management Personnel in addition to those listed below.

The total remuneration of Key Management Personnel is structured into a fixed remuneration and a short and a long-term variable remuneration, identified as follows:

3.7.1 Fixed component of remuneration

The fixed component of the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel, the Gross Annual Remuneration (Retribuzione Annua Lorda - RAL), i.e. the contractually guaranteed annual remuneration, is monitored for all the top positions by the industry remuneration surveys and its value is positioned, in order to meet adequate retention and remuneration criteria, at a competitive level with respect to the market.

Changes over time in the fixed component of remuneration are implemented on the basis of growth rules that take into account the role, the level of performance over time and the pay gap with respect to the remuneration levels of the reference market.

3.7.2 Short-term variable component (STI)

Recordati's Key Management Personnel are beneficiaries of the same short-term incentive scheme (MBO, Management by Objectives) assigned to the Chief Executive Officer. Therefore, what has been described above is intended to be fully referred to herein, with the exception of the performance objectives assigned and the bonus opportunities of the beneficiaries.

The following table shows the type of objectives assigned to the Key Management Personnel:

2022 MBO OBJECTIVES - KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

CIRCUIT BREAKER ON/OFF CONDITION
Group Operating Income Activation of the scheme only if at least 95% of the budget objective is achieved

All Key Management Personnel have the following Group objectives:

OBJECTIVES FEATURES
ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES Set excluding new M&A/licensing transactions related to products already on the
market, performed during the reference financial year
Group Operating Income The result is measured in relation to the predefined budget. The following
performance levels are provided:

Threshold: budget -5%

Target: budget

Maximum: budget +5%

The Key Management Personnel are also assigned, depending on the position held, other economic and financial objectives (set excluding M&A/licensing transactions related to products already on the market, performed during the reference financial year), and/or qualitative objectives, with different weights:

OBJECTIVES FEATURES
Net Revenues of Business Unit/Division (for BU
Heads)
The result is measured in relation to the predefined budget. The following
performance levels are provided:

Threshold: budget -2.5%

Target: budget

Maximum: budget +2.5%
Group Operating Income of Business
Unit/Division (for BU Heads)
The result is measured in relation to the predefined budget. The following
performance levels are provided:

Threshold: budget -5%

Target: budget

Maximum: budget +5%
Management Objectives (for HQ Functions) There are two objectives linked to specific responsibility areas measured on
a performance scale that provides for a Threshold, an intermediate and a
maximum level which corresponds a predefined portion of the bonus, or, in
some cases, on/off objectives.

The Company reserves the right not to provide the annual value of the parameters as it considers this information to be sensitive.

More detailed information regarding the level of achievement of the objectives will only be communicated at the end of the performance period.

As mentioned in section 3.1.1, one Key Management Personnel member is also assigned ESG objectives.

In the event of over-performance, it is not possible to achieve a bonus higher than the maximum set, which, for Key Management Personnel, can vary from 42% to 75% of the annual base salary depending on the position held.

3.7.3 Long-term variable component (LTI)

\

A component of the variable remuneration of Recordati's Key Management Personnel is oriented towards a longterm horizon in order to strengthen the interests of sustainable creation of value for Shareholders and Stakeholders.

Recordati's Key Management Personnel are beneficiaries of the same long-term incentive scheme (LTI) as that envisaged for the Chief Executive Officer, i.e. the 2021-2023 Stock Option Plan, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20th April 2021, and, upon exhaustion, the 2014-2018 Stock Option Plan and the 2018-2022 Plan. Therefore, the contents of the preceding paragraphs are to be considered referred to here in full.

3.8 Further information on remuneration

3.8.1 Transaction Bonus and Integration Bonus

Recordati's Remuneration Policy provides for the possibility of paying a bonus linked to the achievement of significant results for the Group in the case of significant business development transactions (M&A/Licensing). This provision is linked to the strategic importance of such transactions as a growth mechanism for the Recordati Group, as well as an instrument to ensure the Group's continued success in the Primary & Specialty Care and Rare Diseases areas. The proven ability to achieve significant growth through external operations will continue to support the Recordati Group in identifying new partners and in implementing new acquisition or licensing agreements. Therefore, M&A/licensing transactions represent fundamental activities so as to enable the Company to offer an increasingly richer product portfolio, an increasingly wider geographical coverage and consequently ensure the sustainability of the business in the long-term. In addition, it should be noted that in the new MBO scheme, financial targets are set on a constant perimeter, i.e. excluding M&A/licensing transactions related to products already on the market, performed during the reference financial year. It is therefore important to provide for an additional bonus

scheme to reward the Top Management's activities in relation to such strategically significant transactions for the Group. It should be noted that the beneficiaries of any Transaction Bonus and Integration Bonus do not include the Chief Executive Officer, since the implementation of this type of transactions is already provided for at the shortterm incentive scheme level.

In order to provide an incentive to other Key Management Personnel of the Company to carry out strategic M&A/licensing transactions, the following may be awarded:

  • a transaction bonus aimed at rewarding the roles directly involved and having a significant impact on the success of an M&A/licensing transaction; the positive outcome, and therefore the possible awarding of this bonus, will be assessed by the Chief Executive Officer on the basis of an outlook linked to economic and financial indicators, effort and of the timing of the transaction itself. The value of the bonus awarded may vary between 15% and 30% of the Gross Annual Remuneration. 50% of the bonus will be paid at the time of the closing of the extraordinary transaction and 50% after around one year subject to the achievement of predefined economic and financial results relating to the transaction itself and/or defined integration plan milestones.
  • an integration bonus, aimed at specifically rewarding roles with a significant impact on the positive outcome of the integration process following an M&A transaction. The positive outcome, and therefore the possible awarding of this bonus, will be assessed directly by the Chief Executive Officer on the basis of an outlook linked to economic-financial indicators and the timing of the integration itself. The value of the bonus awarded may vary between 15% and 30% of the Gross Annual Remuneration. 70% of the bonus will be paid at the time when predefined milestones have been reached in the integration plan, and 30% at the end of the integration plan and subject to the achievement of predefined integration objectives.

It should be noted that Transaction Bonuses and Integration Bonuses may also be awarded to other managers who, although not qualifying as Key Management Personnel, are directly involved and have a significant impact on the success, respectively, of an M&A/Licensing transaction, or of the integration process following an M&A transaction.

3.8.2 Non-monetary benefits

The Remuneration Policy does not provide for particular non-monetary benefits other than those that can be defined as standard for top positions (e.g. company car, the supplementary insurance to that provided for in the national employment contract and the D&O policy).

3.8.3 Severance indemnity

The Remuneration Policy does not provide for severance indemnities for non-executive Directors.

With regard to other Key Management Personnel, including executive Directors (excluding the Executive Directors qualified as such by the Board pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, who, as noted above, have previously declared that they do not wish to receive any remuneration), if deemed appropriate in the best interests of the Company and in relation to the importance of the Manager's position within the company organisation, agreements may be entered into which involve the payment of special indemnities, in any case not exceeding 24 months of the fixed remuneration and the short-term variable remuneration calculated as the average of the annual bonuses paid in the 36 months previous to the date of termination of the employment relationship (without prejudice to the provisions of the applicable National Collective Agreement), in the event that the Company terminates the employment relationship for reasons other than just cause, also with reference to the market practices in force at the time; taking these practices into account, there is generally no provision for links between such treatments and the Company's performance. In particular, an agreement has been entered into that provide for a severance indemnity for a Key Management Person. In all other cases, in the event of early termination of the employment relationship for reasons other than just cause, Key Management Personnel will be paid the indemnities provided for, in Italy, by law and the current National Collective Bargaining Agreement for 'Executives of Companies Producing Goods and Services' (so-called Industrial Companies) or for employees of foreign subsidiaries, by locally applicable regulations/collective bargaining agreements and by market practices, in certain cases in addition to a further amount, determined on an equitable basis.

In the event of termination from office and/or termination of the relationship with an executive Director or a General Manager, as a result of internal processes leading to the granting or payment of indemnities and/or other benefits, the Company will disclose detailed information on the matter to the market.

During 2022 a new agreement was defined with Mr. Fritz Squindo, novative of the Supplementary Agreement previously in place, which provided for the recognition of a sum - with an important saving for the Company compared to the agreement previously in place - determined within the limits of the provisions of the CBA

Executives. With respect to another member of key manager personnel, prior to signing a permanent employment contract, a supplementary agreement to the contract subsequently entered into was signed, which provides for the payment to the senior manager of a 'golden handshake' remuneration of 36 month's salary consisting of the monthly payments provided for the indemnity in lieu of notice and the treatment provided for by art. 19 of the Managers' CCNL in the event of termination of employment contract by the Company, except for termination for 'just cause'. The senior manager shall have the right to that remuneration until the moment when there will be three years to obtaining the right to a pension, after which time the remuneration will diminish by one month for each month of employment. The notice period is that provided for by the Managers' CCNL. In 2021, the Company and the aforementioned Manager with Strategic Responsibilities have agreed that the related employment contract will end by consensus on June 30, 2022.

There are no agreements which involve the assignment or maintenance of non-monetary benefits or the stipulation of special consultancy contracts in the event of the termination of an employment relationship. There are no agreements which involve remuneration for non-competition commitments on termination of an employment relationship or end of office outside the one provided for the Chief Executive Officer.

As concerns the effects of the end of an employment relationship/other relationship equivalent to an employment relationship or an administrative relationship on LTI existing incentive plans based on current financial instruments approved by Recordati S.p.A., in accordance with Article 114-bis of TUF (Testo Unico della Finanza), please refer to the relevant Information Documents drawn up pursuant to art. 84-bis of the "Regolamento Emittenti".

3.8.4 Additional insurance, social security and pension coverage

\

No further coverage other than those required by law or by collective bargaining agreement is entered into by the Company, with the exception of supplementary insurance to the Italian Supplementary Health Care Fund (F.A.S.I.) for 'Executives of Companies Producing Goods and Services' (so-called Industrial Companies) to cover medical expenses (or similar forms of insurance for employees of foreign subsidiaries) and a D&O policy, as well as an insurance policy for the Chief Executive Officer to cover life risk, health risk (including family members), disability risk and accident risk, again for the Chief Executive Officer, the supplementary pension plan that continued seamlessly.

Section II: Report on the remuneration paid for 2021

Introduction

\

This section is divided into two parts which illustrate respectively the following:

  • Part I focuses on the different elements that make up the remuneration (including the treatments provided in the event of termination of office or termination of the employment relationship);
  • Part II, through the annexed tables, focuses on the remuneration of the members of the management and supervisory bodies and the information relating to the shares held in the Company, as well as the remuneration provided for the Company's and for subsidiaries' Key Management Personnel.

This Section is subject to a non-binding vote by the Shareholders' Meeting as provided for by article 123-ter of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24th February 1998 (the 'Consolidated Law on Finance', updated on the basis of Italian Legislative Decree no. 49 of 10th May 2019) which provides in paragraph 6: 'Without prejudice to the provisions of [...] the Shareholders' Meeting called [...] resolves in favour or against the second section of the report established by paragraph 4. The resolution is not binding'.

In addition, the person appointed to carry out the statutory audit of the financial statements verifies that the directors have appropriately prepared this Section, as required by article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (as updated by Italian Legislative Decree of 10th May 2019).

The remuneration of the members of the management and supervisory bodies is illustrated by name; instead, the remuneration provided for the other Key Management Personnel members is represented in the aggregate.

The implementation of the Policy, as verified by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee during the periodic assessment provided for in the Corporate Governance Code, was substantially in line with the general principles approved by the Board of Directors.

With reference to the representation of each of the items that make up remuneration, including the treatments provided in the event of termination from office or termination of the employment relationship, please refer to what has already been described in detail in Section I.

The remuneration items reported are consistent with the Policy approved in 2021 by the Board of Directors and submitted to the advisory and non-binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting on 20th April 2021 pursuant to article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidate Law on Finance, which voted in favour.

The Board of Directors, having heard the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, has approved this adjustment, being in line with the Policy which allows adjustments for exceptional items on an equitable basis.

On the basis of the performance achieved, the overall remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer in office until 1 st December 2021, to be paid as short-term variable component relating to the 2021 performance period, is therefore equal to € 957,240 gross, equal to 79,77% of the gross annual remuneration. The incentive accrued in 2021 as MBO will be paid in 2022 in accordance with the procedures set out in the MBO system. This short-term variable remuneration represents 44% of the total remuneration received by the Chief Executive Officer, calculated as the sum of fixed remuneration and short-term and long-term variable remuneration relating to 2021.

Group General Manager

\

As regards the Group General Manager, the level of achievement of the objectives approved by the Board of Directors is shown below:

CIRCUIT BREAKER ON/OFF CONDITION
Group Operating Income* ON
OBJECTIVES LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT
ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES
(80%) set excluding new M&A/licensing
transactions related to products already on the
market, performed during the reference

2. Support and participation in the evaluation of
at least 2 Acquisition/ Licensing operations or
other significant transactions signed in 2021
Maximum achievement

* Adjusted for the impact of exceptional, non-recurring costs related to extraordinary transactions as mentioned before

On the basis of the performance achieved, the overall remuneration for the General Manager, to be paid as shortterm variable component relating to the 2021 performance period, is therefore equal to € 198.900 gross, equal to 44,2% of the gross annual remuneration. The incentive accrued in 2021 as MBO will be paid in 2022 in accordance with the procedures set out in the MBO scheme. This short-term variable remuneration represents 24% of the total remuneration received by the Group General Manager, calculated as the sum of fixed remuneration and short-term and long-term variable remuneration relating to 2021.

Key Management Personnel

The other Key Management Personnel10 members have accrued - on the basis of the performance achieved in relation to the MBO system - an overall annual variable remuneration of € 822.970 gross.

Overall, the amount of variable remuneration granted to Key Management Personnel is on average equal to 25%

10 In office as at 31.12.2021 there are 6 executives with strategic responsibilities who are employees of the Company, to which an executive with strategic responsibilities who are employees of the Company and two managers with strategic responsibilities of subsidiaries who ceased in the course of 2021 must be added for the purposes of representation in this Section

of the gross annual remuneration.

Transaction Bonus

Based on the performance achieved in 2021, they have been disbursed (€ 75,000) or will be disbursed (€ 190,000) to some Key Personnel, as transaction bonuses. The bonus awarded to one of the key personnel in relation to the acquisition of EUSA Pharma is equal to 55.5% of the fixed pay, with deviation from the 30% cap set by the Policy and therefore has been specifically approved by the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee as the Related-Party Committee Responsible. The deviation was justified by taking into account the fundamental role played by the manager in one of the most important transactions of the Recordati Group, both in terms of size and strategic importance, finalized in exceptionally tight timeframe, and the company's interest in encouraging the permanence within the group of this manager, fundamental for the achievement of the business plan and more generally for the pursuit of the long-term interests of the company.
