Explanatory Report on Item 4) on the agenda of the Ordinary General Meeting called for 29 April 2022

Explanatory report by Atlantia S.p.A.'s Board of Directors on item 4 on the agenda of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on 29 April 2022 on single call: "Report on Remuneration Policy for 2022 and Remuneration paid in 2021, pursuant to Art. 123-ter of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998:

  • A. Approval of the First Section of the Report Remuneration Policy for 2022 (binding resolution).
  • B. Non-binding resolution on the Second Section of the Report Disclosure on Remuneration paid in 2021

Dear Shareholders,

The Report on Remuneration Policy for 2022 and Remuneration paid in 2021 (the "Report") has been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Art. 123-ter of the Finance Act and of Art. 84-quater of the Issuers Regulation, while also taking into account the principles and recommendations set out in Art. 5 of the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies, adopted by the Company.

Through the Report, the Company intends to provide a complete, clear and transparent disclosure to all stakeholders regarding the principles on which its remuneration policy is based, the systems and processes governing it, and the results of its application.

A. Approval of the First Section of the Report – Remuneration Policy for 2022 (binding resolution)

The first section of the Report sets out the Company's proposed policy for 2022 on the remuneration of the Board of Directors, general managers and other executives with strategic responsibilities and, without prejudice to the provisions of Art. 2402 of the Civil Code, the remuneration of members of statutory auditors, as well as the procedures applied in adopting and implementing this policy. In accordance with the provisions of Art. 123-ter, paragraph 3-ter, of the Finance Act, the General Meeting is asked to cast a binding vote, for or against, on the first section of the Report.

Atlantia promotes a business model that operates in favour of sustainable success, for the benefit of shareholders and other stakeholders. In this sense, in December 2021, the principle of pursuing long-term sustainable success as a guiding criterion of the action of the Board of Directors was embodied in the bylaws, with the favourable votes of over 99% of the capital represented at the meeting.

Accordingly, the Remuneration Policy contemplates a clear link between remuneration and the economic, social and environmental value created. The structure of remuneration systems favours a medium and long-term perspective and encourages the active involvement of all the issuer's employees in sharing the results achieved and the value created. Furthermore, key environmental, social and governance issues, and in particular climate issues, are integrated into top management priorities by linking them to specific sustainability targets.

The Policy put forward to the shareholders for 2022 has the following principal characteristics:

  • around 2/3 of the overall target-based remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer are variable, depending on yearly and multi-annual results;
  • over 50% of the Chief Executive Officer's variable target-based remuneration is paid in shares over a multi-annual timespan, consistent with the orientation towards creating sustainable value over time;
  • clear and transparent ex ante and ex post disclosure of the link between performance and remuneration;
  • the variable remuneration is linked to the creation of economic, social and environmental value;
  • ESG metrics account for 20% of the annual incentive and 30% of the long-term incentive and are articulated in clearly defined quantitative targets, monitored and reported to the market.

In a context of substantial continuity with the 2021 Policy, which was broadly supported by shareholders with over 98% of votes in favour, the 2022 Policy also includes some new elements which strengthen its structure, bearing in mind the feedback received from the market on potential further aspects of improvement, including:

  • i) Participation of employees: with the prior favourable opinion of this General Meeting, as per item 3) on the agenda, a form of employee share ownership will be launched, consisting of the free allocation to employees in nonmanagerial positions of 250 shares per annum, subject to a triennial lockup obligation. This structural form of participation in the share capital seeks to share the value created over time with all the issuer's employees. All the issuer's employees will also benefit – with remuneration opportunities consistent with their role – from the annual incentive plan (MBO), thereby sharing with management the pursuit of key economic, strategic, social and environmental objectives, on the basis of which Atlantia guides the development of its investment portfolio.
  • ii) Shareholding Guidelines: The Policy requires the Chief Executive Officer and Top Management to set up an investment in the issuer's shares within an appropriate timeframe and to hold it regularly over time. For the Chief Executive Officer, the investment is equal to a multiple of 2x the fixed salary, in line with European best practices.

Finally, it should be stressed that Atlantia, on 14 October 2021, resolved to cease management and coordination of its operation subsidiaries, in accordance with the previously adopted pathway based on the gradual autonomy of its subsidiaries and on its role as a strategic investment holding company. This is the perspective behind the decision, adopted last year, not to include the management of subsidiaries in the Policy. The latter management will benefit from remuneration policies that are separate from those of the Company and duly regulated by their own governing body, in line with the specific reference framework and with the remuneration principles inspired by the international best practices promoted by Atlantia. These principles are embodied in guidelines, which the governing bodies of subsidiaries are recommended to adopt, in line with the specific market context, strategic priorities and risk profile of each business.

For further details, reference should be made to the text of the first section of the Report – approved under a board resolution passed on 10 March 2022 and made available to You and the public as required by law, at the registered office, on the Company's website (https://www.atlantia.com/en/governance/general-meeting) and on the storage platform (). We therefore submit the contents of the aforesaid first section of the Report to the General Meeting.
