Letter from the Chairman of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee

Dear Shareholders,

as Chairman of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee, I am pleased to present to you the Report on Remuneration Policy 2021 and Compensation Paid 2020, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 11th March 2021.

The 2020 was marked by events of a highly extraordinary nature, both in relation to ongoing developments in the relationship between the grantor and the concession holder regarding Autostrade per l'Italia and the COVID19-related health and economic crisis, which continues to have significant consequences on the worldwide and domestic economic and social framework and on Atlantia's own results.

In such an extraordinarily unstable and unpredictable environment, Atlantia has deemed it appropriate to suspend all forms of ordinary variable management incentives for 2020. In addition, the Chairman, Mr Fabio Cerchiai, and the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, Mr Carlo Bertazzo, have decided to waive 25% of their fixed remuneration from May to the end of 2020, and will allocate these amounts to initiatives for the Genoa community and for the families of Group employees in need.

The unprecedented nature of the events that took place reinforced Atlantia's determination to promote all opportunities, including those relating to remuneration, to strengthen the relationship between the Company and its employees. To this end, Atlantia implemented a plan to grant free shares to employees in Italy, which resulted in more than 10,800 employees subscribing to the plan, who are now also shareholders and key players in the Company's renewal process.

Consistent with its vision of promoting sustainable growth for all stakeholders, the Committee has promoted an intensive review of the overall framework of Atlantia's Remuneration Policy, inspired by the goal of providing greater transparency and a responsible approach, firmly focused on creating value for our shareholders and stakeholders over the long term.

The first section of the Report is dedicated to describing the Company's Remuneration Policy, which includes a number of significant innovations, consistent with the guidelines set out in the European Directive on Shareholders' Rights and as a concrete implementation of the feedback received from our shareholders at the time of voting on the Remuneration Policy and during engagement activities.

The second Section provides information on remuneration paid in 2020, consistent with the Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders last year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Committee, Andrea Boitani, Giuseppe Guizzi, Anna Chiara Invernizzi and Carlo Malacarne, for their contributions. Lastly, I would like to thank you, the shareholders, for dedicating your attention to the Report, in the hope that it will meet with your full approval at the Shareholders' Meeting.

Best regards,

Riccardo Bruno

Chairman of Atlantia's Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee

Introduction

This Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid (the "Report") is divided into two sections:

Section I

The "Policy" for 2021 for the Directors, Control bodies and Top Management of the issuer.

Section II

The "Report" for 2020 which provides detailed information on the compensation paid during the year.

In light of the changes made to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance through Legislative Decree No. 49 dated 10th May 2019, Section I is subject to a binding vote at the Shareholders' Meeting, and Section II is subject to an advisory vote at the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial statements as at 31st December, 2020.

The Report, which was approved by Atlantia's Board of Directors on 11th March 2021 on the proposal of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee (the "Committee"), has been prepared in compliance with current legal and regulatory requirements:

  • Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 implemented in the Consolidated Law on Finance ("CLF");
  • Article 84-quater of the Consob Regulation on Issuers, as amended1 ; and
  • Article 5 ofthe Borsa Italiana Corporate Governance Code2 or listed companies, as implemented byAtlantia SpA. ("Atlantia" orthe "Company") by resolution of the Board on 18th February 2021.

The Company has also adopted this Policy in compliance with CONSOB Regulation No. 17221/2010, as amended by Resolution No. 21624 of 10th December 2020, regarding related party transactions, including pursuant to the Related Party Transaction Procedure ("Related Party Procedure") adopted by Atlantia and available on the "Governance" section of its website.

This Report is being sent to Borsa Italiana and made available to the public at Atlantia's office in Rome, Via A. Bergamini 50, and on the Company's website by the twenty-first day prior to the date of the General Meeting.

1 - It should be noted that in December 2020, Consob published the final version of the Issuers' Regulations, effective as of 1st January 2021.

Key features of the Remuneration Policy

Context and key elements of the Policy

In 2020, Atlantia undertook a three-fold transformation process, which also had an impact on the Company's Remuneration Policy:

The crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic has had and is still having a significant impact on transportation priorities and needs. Against this backdrop, Atlantia has accelerated its strategic path aimed at making transport increasingly sustainable, safe, innovative, efficient and responsive to the needs of society as a whole.

In line with the context of major transformation, Atlantia launched a review of the Company's Remuneration Policy, focusing on the following key principles: transparency to provide stakeholders with the information they need to assess its features and consistency with the priority objective of creating sustainable value; simplicity and clarity; and a long-term approach, with a view to strengthening alignment of the interests of management, shareholders and other stakeholders.

Transparency ESG Sustainable Value

Changes compared to the previous year

1 Update to the purpose of the Company's Remuneration Policy. See para. 3
2 Revision of the annual incentive plan ("MBO Plan"), based on shareholder value generation
targets, strategic and sustainability (ESG) objectives.
See para.
4.5.1
3 Definition of a long-term incentive plan ("2021-2023 Stock Grant Plan"), based on the
free assignment of shares against the achievement of value creation and sustainability
objectives over a three-year period; there is also a two-year lock-up period on 50% of the
shares that have vested.
See para.
4.5.2
4 Strengthened the link between incentives and sustainability performance. A significant
proportion of management's annual (20 out of 100 points) and multi-year (30 out of 100
points) variable remuneration is linked to the achievement of environmental, social and
governance (ESG) sustainability targets.
See para.
4.5.1-2

The changes introduced in the Remuneration Policy are consistent with the guidelines of the Shareholders' Rights Directive II, the provisions of the Issuers' Regulations and the new Corporate Governance Code, ensuring alignment with the best practices of international markets.

Key highlights of the 2021 Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy sets principles, guidelines and rules related to remuneration matters:

a multi-year period reflecting the Group's focus on creating lasting value.

Ex ante Disclosure, clear and transparent link between performance expectations and remuneration.

Variable remuneration is linked to value creation for shareholders and other stakeholder: the LTI plan is linked to Total Shareholder Return and sustainability metrics.

The modifications made to the Remuneration Policy 2021 take into account the results of shareholder voting on the 2020 Remuneration Policy and the voting indications expressed by proxy advisors. Please note that for the year 2020, the Company's Remuneration Policy was approved at the 29th May 2020 Shareholders' Meeting, with the favourable vote of 91.4% of the participants. The graph below illustrates the voting trend in respect of Section I of the Remuneration Policy Report over the 2018 to 2020 period.

Shareholders' Meeting Votes - Remuneration Policy (Section I)

Shareholders who voted against the report were mainly concerned with the exercise of excessive discretion, an unclear link between results achieved and remuneration paid, and the high value of former top managers' remuneration packages, including remuneration paid upon termination of employment.

The analysis of votes cast at the shareholders' meeting was supplemented by an examination of the feedback received from stakeholders during the engagement process carried out in 2020. Atlantia places central importance on the evaluations expressed by each stakeholder and is committed to promoting opportunities for discussion to make the Company's remuneration plans and instruments increasingly transparent and understandable.

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and Remuneration Policy Guidelines for Operating Companies

Consistent with the evolution of Atlantia's strategic role as the parent holding company, together with the related transfer to the operating companies of greater autonomy and independence in the day-to-day management of the individual businesses, the Company has revised the range of executives with strategic responsibilities, and has assigned them the following roles in the issuer with effect from January 2021:

  • Director Corporate Development and Investor Relations
  • Director Investments Europe
  • Director Investments Americas & Asia Pacific
  • CFO (Chief Financial Officer- Manager responsible for Financial Reporting)

The remuneration policies that apply to the operating companies' management are separate from those of the issuer, are overseen by the subsidiary's board of directors and are tailored to the specific circumstances. Atlantia also promotes remuneration principles inspired by international best practices for its operating companies, which are set out in guidelines that Atlantia recommends that its operating companies' boards of directors adopt, in line with market conditions, strategic priorities and the specific risk profile of each business. The main elements of these guidelines provide for:

  • governance of remuneration policies through the support of a board committee on Remuneration;
  • establishing pay scales consistent with market practices for sectors and companies comparable in size and complexity;
  • breaking down remuneration packages into fixed and variable components, both in the short and the medium-to-long term;
  • linking variable remuneration components to targets that underpin value creation, breaking them down into economic-financial, operational performance and sustainability (ESG) metrics, with ex-ante definition of the results to which variable Remuneration is linked;
  • variable remuneration being subject to caps, claw-back clauses and a vesting period of at least three years for medium- to long-term variable components.

Atlantia monitors progress in implementing the guidelines and will provide a summary of its assessment to the market when it publishes its report for the next financial year.

Section I

Report on Remuneration Policy 2021

01. Voting results and investor feedback

Atlantia places central importance on the evaluations expressed by each stakeholder and is committed to promoting opportunities for discussion to make the Company's remuneration plans and instruments increasingly transparent and understandable.

To this end, during 2020 the Company analysed the results of shareholders' votes on the Remuneration Policy and the voting instructions given by the proxy advisors. The Company's 2020 Remuneration Policy was approved at the 29th May 2020 Shareholders' Meeting, with 91.4% of attendees voting in favour. The graph below illustrates the voting trend in respect of Section I of the Remuneration Policy Report over the 2018 to 2020 period.

Shareholders' Meeting Votes - Remuneration Policy 2020 (Section I)

Shareholders who voted against the report were mainly concerned with the exercise of excessive discretion, an unclear link between results achieved and remuneration paid, and the high value of former top managers' remuneration packages, including remuneration paid upon termination of employment.

The analysis of votes cast at the shareholders' meeting was also supplemented by an examination of the feedback received from stakeholders during the engagement process carried out in 2020. The changes introduced in the 2021 Remuneration Policy also take into account such feedback.

02. Remuneration Policy Governance

2.1 Bodies and individuals involved

The Policy establishes principles, guidelines and rules relating to the Remuneration of:

  • members of Atlantia SpA's (the "Company") Board of Directors, distinguishing between executive and non-executive directors;
  • the Company's Top Management, which includes managers reporting directly to the Chair of the Board of Directors and to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Company, including Executives with Strategic Responsibilities;
  • the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Body.

The establishment of Atlantia's Remuneration Policy involved many people and corporate organs, in accordance with the Company's articles of association and applicable law.

The Nomination,
Remuneration and Human
Capital Committee
Regarding remuneration, the Committee, with the support of Atlantia's spe
cialised departments, assists the Board in developing the Remuneration
Policy, in defining the structure of the annual and multi-annual variable re
muneration plans and the targets to which the forms of variable remunera
tion are linked, in defining the general criteria for the remuneration of top
management and in relation to the remuneration of executive directors and
other directors who hold special offices, as well as the remuneration of the
control bodies.
The Board of Directors The Board of Directors prepares the Remuneration Policy for directors,
members of the control bodies and Top Management and submits it for ap
proval at the Shareholders' Meeting.
The Shareholders' Meeting The shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting cast a binding vote regarding
the first section of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and the remune
ration paid. Following the introduction of the provisions of the Shareholders'
Rights Directive II, the shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting also cast
an advisory vote on Section II of the Report concerning Remuneration paid
in the previous financial year.
Independent experts The Committee may be assisted by independent experts in the field of re
muneration. In developing the Remuneration Policy for the year 2021, the
consulting firm Willis Towers Watson was engaged to assist in analysing
short- and long-term incentive structures, remuneration benchmarks and
market practices.

2.2 Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee

The Committee plays a role in investigating, advising and making proposals to the Board of Directors. In particular, the Committee is entrusted with the following tasks:

Assisting the Board of Directors in drafting the Remuneration Policy for executive directors and other directors holding special offices, as well as in setting performance targets related to the variable component of such remuneration, and monitoring their actual implementation.

Making proposals or expressing opinions to the Board on the Remuneration of the control bodies (including supervisory body) of the Strategic Company identified by the Board and making proposals on the general principles for the remuneration of the Company's Top Management.

Monitoring the practical implementation of the Remuneration Policy and assessing whether performance targets have been met, as well as the overall adequacy and consistency of the Policy.

Reviewing the guidelines and structure of the strategic human capital development programs and opining on the initiatives and programs promoted by the Company in this area and any share-based plans for Company employees and monitoring their implementation.

Providing opinions on any exceptions, on a subjective basis, to the limit on the number of offices held by Directors as set out in the Board of Directors' Regulation.

Committee activities

The Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee meets periodically and as often as necessary to perform its functions according to an annual calendar that typically follows the following cycle of activities:

  • Review of the self-assessment questionnaire of the Board of Directors and Committees
  • Analysis of the market benchmarking and guidelines for the new Remuneration Policy
  • Activities with resolutions passed at the Shareholders' Meeting
  • Implementation of Share Incentive Plans (LTI)
  • Succession planning, overview of Operating Companies board matrix and board review

Committee meetings are attended by:

  • the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, it being understood that no Director attends meetings at which proposals are made to the Board in relation to their own remuneration;
  • the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors (or another Statutory Auditor designated by the Chairman); however, the other Statutory Auditors may also participate. The presence of the entire Board of Statutory Auditors is required when the Committee expresses its opinion on the allocation of Remuneration pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code;
  • the Secretary of the Committee.

At the Chairman's invitation, the heads of the company departments responsible for the relevant subject matter and consultants may take part in the meetings to provide appropriate further information regarding the items on the agenda.

With regard to the activities carried out in 2020 by the Committee, reference is made to Section II of this Report and to the 2020 Corporate Governance Report (available on the Company's website).

For 2021, the Committee is scheduled to hold at least nine meetings, four of which have already been held as of the date this Report was approved.

2.3 Exceptions to the Remuneration Policy

As provided for in Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulations, in the event of exceptional circumstances that may compromise the Company's long-term interests or its ability to stay on the market, Atlantia reserves the right to make temporary exceptions to the Remuneration Policy most recently approved by shareholders, limited to the components of remuneration relating to the annual and multi-annual variable remuneration plans and pay mix. In such a situation, the Committee may submit for Board of Directors' approval, with the possible assistance of third party and independent experts, any amendments to the incentive plans aimed at safeguarding the Company's primary goals and respecting the rights of the participants, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory constraints.

03. Purposes and principles of Atlantia's Remuneration Policy

Atlantia is committed to making mobility increasingly sustainable, safe, innovative, efficient and responsive to the needs of society as a whole, and to creating economic and social value for communities and local areas through active investment in cutting-edge assets capable of offering transportation services that make the travel experience unique and simplify everyday life.

The Remuneration Policy, which covers a one-year period, is applicable to all the Company's employees and has been developed taking into account the remuneration and working conditions of the employees, and supports the business strategy by pursuing the following objectives:

Transparency Provide a clear and transparent understanding of remuneration systems
Atlantia encourages dialogue with stakeholders, regularly monitors the results of
shareholders' meetings, the recommendations of proxy advisors and market best
practices, in order to constantly improve the Report on the Remuneration Policy and
Remuneration Paid and ensure a high level of transparency vis à vis the market with
regard to the remuneration systems adopted.
Sustainable
value
Creating long-term value
Variable remuneration plans are linked to short- and medium-term metrics that un
derpin the growth of sustainable and lasting value. The long-term component of va
riable remuneration plans has a higher weight than the short-term component, is
share-based and provides for the retention of shares deriving from incentive plans
for a period of two years following their vesting. Atlantia encourages the sharing of
results achieved with management and, more generally, with its employees, favou
ring a long-term view. In this regard, the Company promotes employee stock owner
ship.
ESG Promoting a sustainable development model for shareholders and other
stakeholders
Our vision of creating economic and social value for communities and territories
is reflected in the Remuneration Policy by anchoring incentive plans to objectives
consistent with our guidelines for sustainable business development, with particular
reference to the fight against climate change, the circular economy, anchoring to the
territory, communities and relational heritage with stakeholders, the central impor
tance of people, and ethical and transparent management.

The structure of the Remuneration Policy is divided into fixed and variable, monetary and equity components, and completed by non-cash components (benefits), as illustrated in chapter "4. Remuneration components".

Sustainability and Remuneration

Atlantia is the holding company for companies that manage transport infrastructure and mobility services that are fundamental to the social and economic development of local areas and communities. For Atlantia, sustainability is an enabling factor in the process of continuous improvement throughout the group, generating value and allowing results to be achieved in the long term. Sustainability is governed by the Board of Directors, which, together with the work of a special endowment committee, guides the Company in progressively strengthening and integrating environmental, social and good governance aspects into business processes through dedicated corporate structures, bodies and committees, which promote improvements, monitoring, control and risk management activities.

SECTION I

The Remuneration Policy is therefore aimed at encouraging the achievement of sustainable performance objectives consistent with the corporate culture and values. Atlantia's guidelines for the creation of sustainable value include the priority areas of commitment on which Atlantia's overall social and environmental impact is to be improved, summarised in a scorecard of medium-term objectives (for further details see the sustainability scorecard in the integrated annual report). Specifically the variable remuneration systems incorporate objectives relating to:

Territory, community and relation with stakeholder

Focus on people

Dialogue and engagement

Achieving a favourable stakeholder assessment of Atlantia's reputation (as measured by an indipendent third party)

Equal opportunities

20% of management positions held by women

20% of members appointed by Atlantia to governance and auditing bodies of companies invested in are women

40% of new hires in senior professional positions are women

Safety

Accident frequency rate for direct employees < 14

04. Remuneration components

4.1 Breakdown of remuneration

The remuneration planned for 2021 for current Atlantia Executive Directors and Top Management consists of:

Fixed
component
Depending on the role, it may include:
• Remuneration pursuant to Article 2389 (1st paragraph) of the Italian Civil Code.
• Remuneration pursuant to Article 2389 (3rd paragraph) of the Italian Civil Code.
• Remuneration from employment (i.g. Gross annual salary "GAS")
Short-term
variable
component
(MBO)
A variable cash component whose payment depends on the degree to whi
ch economic-financial, strategic-operational and sustainability objectives
are achieved (MBO Plan - Management by Objectives). The incentives ac
crue according to an incentive curve consistent with the level of challenge
of the result achieved, have a maximum cap and are subject to claw-back
clauses lasting five years.
Long-term
variable
component
(LTI)
A variable component denominated in shares, the payment of which de
pends on the degree to which overall shareholder return and sustainability
objectives are achieved. Equity incentives accrue according to an incentive
curve consistent with the level of challenge of the result achieved and the
number of shares attributable to beneficiaries is predetermined in a ma
ximum quantity. Incentive levels are consistent with the role covered. The
2021-2023 Stock Grant Plan in which the long-term variable component is
broken down is subject to approval at the 28th April 2021 Shareholders'
Meeting.
Component in
kind (benefits)
Depending on the role, it may include:
• insurance coverage for the risks of death and permanent disability due to ac
cidents and occupational and non-occupational diseases
• supplementary pension
• supplementary health care
• D&O insurance coverage against third party liability
• assignment of a car for mixed use and accommodation for guesthouse use
• welfare in the area of personal/family care, education, sports activities

The definition of Remuneration components is inspired by the following principles:

  • In line with the provisions of Article 5 of the new Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors and Top Management is functional to the pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company and takes into account the need to attract, retain and motivate people with the required expertise and professionalism;
  • In line with the provisions of Article 5 of the new Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Policy defines a balance between fixed and variable components of remuneration that is appropriate and consistent with the strategic objectives of the Company and its Risk Management Policy, taking into account the characteristics of the business and the sector in which it operates, providing in any case that the variable portion represents a significant part of total remuneration;
  • The Remuneration Policy provides for the integration of the remuneration package through an offer of benefits, in relation to the role/assignment covered;
  • In establishing the Remuneration Policy, the Company carries out an activity of monitoring and analysis of the remuneration practices and the practices adopted in the reference market, with the goal of ensuring an overall remuneration offer in line with the market;
  • The variable component of Remuneration has the following characteristics:
  • establishes an appropriate balance between annual variable remuneration and long-term variable remuneration;
  • links the payment of remuneration to short and medium- to long-term performance objectives that are predetermined, measurable and closely linked to value creation;
  • provides for an upper limit ("cap") of remunerative opportunities;
  • provides for a vesting period of at least three years for the long-term variable portion;
  • provides for a clause for the total or partial repayment of the variable portion ("claw-back") in the event of wilful or grossly negligent conduct, proven miscalculation in determining performance or non-compliance with company rules or regulations;
  • provides for the obligation to hold shares in the company for a certain period (which is implemented through lockup provisions on the shares actually allocated to the beneficiaries).

4.2 Market references

Atlantia periodically checks that the Remuneration packages of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and Top Management are in line with market practice. This monitoring activity is also carried out periodically for the rest of the Company's managers and professionals.

In relation to the preparation of the Remuneration Policy for 2021, the Company carried out a benchmarking analysis on the Remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer, with particular reference to the variable incentive mechanisms. Specifically, the studies on the Remuneration of top management carried out annually by the consulting firm Willis Towers Watson in Italy and Europe were considered, namely the "WTW Top Executive Survey - Italy" and the "WTW Top Executive Survey - Europe", which respectively analysed the Italian companies belonging to the FTSE MIB Italy index and the 366 companies listed on the main stock exchange indexes of 11 European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK).

In addition, Atlantia was supported by Willis Towers Watson in carrying out a benchmarking analysis to identify market practices regarding short- and long-term incentive mechanisms adopted by holding and investment companies, taking into account the size of the company. The panel of companies used as reference consists of 14 Ita-

lian, European and non-European companies: Ackermans & van Haaren, ACS, Blackstone, Bouygues, Brookfield, Eiffage, Exor, Ferrovial, GBL, Kinnevik, KKR & Co., Macquarie, Vinci and Wendel.

4.3 Pay mix

The following table shows the target and maximum pay mix for 2021 for Atlantia's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and Top Management. Specifically, the pay mix takes into account:

  • fixed remuneration (excluding 1st paragraph Remuneration);
  • the short-term variable component payable on target and at the maximum level;
  • the long-term variable component payable at target and maximum level on an annualised basis.

The CEO is also General Manager of Atlantia. The Company's Top Management consists of the positions reporting directly to the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer and includes the following Executives with Strategic Responsibilities: Director of Investments, Director of Corporate Development & Investor Relations, CFO in their capacity as Manager responsible for preparing the financial reports. The Internal Audit Manager is the recipient of variable remuneration systems differentiated from the rest of the Top Management and consistent with their scope of responsibility (more information in section 4.5.4).

4.4 Fixed component

The fixed gross annual remuneration component enhances skills and experience and remunerates management according to their role and responsibilities.

Changes over time in the fixed component of remuneration are implemented on the basis of criteria and assessments that take into account the role, the level of performance over time, and the Remuneration levels recorded for similar roles in the reference market.

As a reminder, for 2020, starting in May, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer/General Manager waived 25% of their fixed component.

Chairman of the Board of Directors

The fixed Remuneration of the Chairman is established by the Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, on the proposal of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee, and consists of:

Remuneration under Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, first paragraph,
as Director
EUR 80,000
Remuneration under Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, third paragraph,
as Chairman
EUR 740,000
TOTAL EUR 820,000

Chief Executive Officer and General Manager

The fixed Remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is established by the Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, on the proposal of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee, and consists of:

Remuneration under Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, first paragraph,
as Director
EUR 80,000
Remuneration under Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, third paragraph,
as CEO
EUR 200,000
Remuneration from employment Gross annual salary, as General Manager EUR 510,000
TOTAL EUR 790,000

As an executive of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is entitled to the indemnities due for travel in line with the provisions of the National Collective Labour Agreement for executives of companies that produce goods and services.

Top Management

The fixed Remuneration of Top Management consists of a fixed gross annual component (Gross Annual Salary - GAS), consistent with the role held.

4.5 Variable component

The variable component of the remuneration packages consists of two main elements: annual bonus (MBO Plan) and long-term incentives, (Stock Grant Plan 2021- 2023, submitted for approval at the 28th April 2021 Shareholders' Meeting).

These plans have value creation as their main objective, taking into account the interests of the Company's various stakeholders and consistent with the Company's business strategy.

Atlantia has suspended all forms of ordinary variable management incentives for 2020.

In addition, the Company's Remuneration Policy may provide for the recognition of ad hoc bonuses in favour of Executive Directors, Top Management, other managers and professionals related to the implementation of operations of strategic importance. The possibility of ad hoc bonuses is intended to be a possibility, although not likely to be recurrent.

The process for the possible award of ad hoc bonuses is governed by the Board of Directors with the support of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee. This process requires a rigorous preliminary review of the eligibility of the transaction of a strategic nature, the potential recipients, the metrics and conditions underlying the vesting of the ad hoc bonus, and the terms and circumstances of the specific transaction of a strategic nature (terms of engagement). Specifically, this process involves:

  • The ex-ante definition of success metrics;
  • Linking the ad hoc bonus to metrics underlying value creation;
  • Evaluation of deferred payment methods, possibly also in shares subject to approval at the Shareholders' Meeting, of all or part of the ad hoc bonus;
  • Evaluation of the deferred payment of the ad hoc bonus over time, with possible provision for corrective mechanisms such as malus or minimum performance resilience conditions.

The amount of this bonus shall not, in any event, exceed the maximum annual value of the MBO incentive and shall be defined within an overall bonus pool for the specific transaction of a strategic nature. Any ad hoc bonus payments will be subject to claw-back clauses.

4.5.1 Short-term variable component

The short-term variable component consists of the "MBO Plan", which is designed to align the short-term (annual) remuneration opportunities of management and other beneficiary employees with the achievement of objectives of importance to the Company, making it possible to appreciate and reward the contribution of each beneficiary to the success of the Company as a whole and of the organisational area to which they belong specifically in the short term (one year).

The MBO Plan is directed at all resources in managerial and professional roles at Atlantia, including the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and Top Management. On the other hand, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the non-executive Directors are not included among the beneficiaries of the Plan.

The annual variable incentive scheme is reviewed annually by the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee which proposes to the Board of Directors the objectives, metrics and targets for the Executive Directors and the overall scheme for the Company's Top Management. The MBO plan follows a clear and transparent annual communication process to all participants. To each participant is assigned incentive percentages (target and maximum) in relation to gross annual remuneration. The incentive percentages are defined in relation to the role, in order to adequately balance fixed and variable remuneration according to the position held by the individual and their impact on results. The amounts of MBO actually paid are linked to the level of achievement of the performance objectives and the weight assigned to the various objectives up to a predefined maximum, beyond which no further amounts (cap) are payable. The incentive payable for intermediate results between the minimum and maximum level is calculated by linear interpolation. Bonus accrual requires that a minimum score of 50 points be achieved.

There is also a mechanism for linking the amount accrued as an MBO bonus to the assessment of the quality of individual contribution, through a factor that affects ±10% of the value of the final bonus. This multiplier/demultiplier is not applied to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager. The bonus paid therefore also takes into account the quality of individual performance and the effectiveness of leadership.

Performance conditions

The MBO plan directs beneficiaries towards the achievement of value drivers, in particular it provides for:

  • economic-financial objectives, with a weighting of 50%, which measure the return on invested capital using a metric that relates unlevered cash flow at a consolidated level to invested capital; this objective is common to all participants in the MBO plan.
  • strategic-operational objectives, with a weight of 30%, differentiated by organisational area. For 2021, for the Chief Executive Officer, these objectives are related to the achievement of specific strategic milestones related to the growth and enhancement of the asset portfolio in line with the strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors on 18th February 2021. For the Company's Top Management, again with reference to 2021, these objectives relate to the implementation of specific milestones on the portfolio of assets under management, the mitigation of key risks and the Company's digital transformation process.
  • sustainability objectives, with a weight of 20%, common to all beneficiaries. For 2021, these targets include specific milestones related to:
  • the fight against climate change through the structuring of an integrated action plan for the transition to the neutrality of the group's carbon footprint - net zero target by 2040;
  • the setting up of the Company's reputation management system in relation to stakeholders and the articulation of an improvement plan;
  • the adoption of specific policies to strengthen the governance of group sustainability, such as, for example, the stakeholder engagement policy or the policy on diversity and inclusion.

For each objective, the achievement of a result is defined at least at a threshold level. If the threshold level is not met, the specific objective receives a score of 0. If, on the other hand, the objective is achieved for values between the threshold level and the target level and between the target level and the maximum value, the specific objective receives a score calculated by linear interpolation, in consideration of the weight of the objective itself, on a 70-100-130 point scale (threshold-target-maximum). Finally, even if the maximum level is exceeded, the score awarded will still be equal to the set maximum. This is because the bonus payable is subject to a cap. A minimum of 50 points is required to qualify for bonus accrual. If 50 points are achieved, a bonus of 50% of the amount payable on full achievement of the targets (target of 100 points) is paid. The achievement of all objectives at the maximum level is equivalent to the maximum achievement of 130 points to which corresponds the accrual of the maximum defined bonus. A multiplier of ±10% is applied to the final value of the incentive thus calculated, depending on the assessment of the quality of individual performance. However, this multiplier does not apply to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager. The bonus is paid in the year following the year in which it accrues in relation to the performance achieved, following approval of the financial statements at the Shareholders' Meeting.

Top Management 25% 50% 70%

3 - The basis of calculation is considered to be the fixed employee salary and the remuneration approved as per 3rd paragraph.

4.5.2 Long-term variable component

The long-term variable component is intended to promote the Company's value growth and the dissemination of a culture of sustainable value creation in management's strategic and operational decisions.

As represented in previous policies, the 2017-2019 Phantom Stock Option and Stock Grant plans (2nd and 3rd cycles) and the 2017 Additional Incentive Plan are still being vested.

For more information, please refer to the disclosure documents available on company website.

Atlantia has established a new long-term incentive plan, the "2021-2023 Stock Grant Plan", which is subject to approval at the 28th April 2021 Shareholders' Meeting. This plan involves granting shares free of charge in return for value creation and sustainability objectives being achieved over a three-year period.

The plan provides for an annual allocation mechanism (known as a rolling approach) and is divided into three allocation cycles in the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. At the end of the vesting period of each cycle, shares are awarded free of charge to beneficiaries in relation to the level of achievement of the underlying performance conditions. According to the number of shares actually accrued, it is expected that the countervalue of the dividends paid in the three-year period will be allocated in the form of additional free shares.

The 2021-2023 Stock Grant Plan, for the first grant cycle of 2021, is directed at Atlantia's executive directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Company's management, including Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

Performance conditions

The payment of the bonus in shares is subject to the achievement of value creation objectives for shareholders and other stakeholders. The objectives are common to all beneficiaries.

OBJECTIVE METRICS WEIGHT
Atlantia's absolute TSR 35%
Creation of shareholder value Atlantia's TSR compared with a peer group 35%
Creation of value for other
stakeholders
Achievement of specific sustainability objectives -
ESG
30%

The amount of the equity incentive actually accrued varies according to the degree to which the objectives are achieved, as illustrated below:

Creation of shareholder value

Absolute TSR

Atlantia's annualised TSR achieved over the three-year period will determine the allocation of 35% of the number of accrued shares, as follows:

  • TSR equal to or greater than 9%: allocation of the maximum number of shares foreseen for the objective;
  • TSR of 6%: allocation of 50% of the number of shares at target for the objective;
  • Intermediate results between the two extremes above: allocation of a number of shares calculated by linear interpolation.

No accrual for this target if the annualized TSR for the three-year period is less than 6%.

Relative TSR

Atlantia's relative TSR will determine the 35% of the number of accrued shares. TSR is measured in relative terms relative to a peer group that includes:

  • Aeroport de Paris
  • Aena
  • Eiffage
  • Ferrovial
  • Fraport
  • Getlink
  • Vinci
  • S&P Global Infrastructure Index (in Euro)
  • Bloomberg World Transportation Index (in Euro)

The TSR achieved by the companies making up the Peer Group and by Atlantia (considering the two indices as one company) will be ordered in descending order, from the company (or index) with the best TSR result to the company with the worst result. If Atlantia is positioned:

  • between the best two companies: the maximum number of shares for this objective will be awarded;
  • in the middle position, i.e. in 5th place: the target number of shares for this objective will be awarded;
  • in the intermediate position, between the median and the best two companies: a number of shares calculated linearly between the target and maximum incentive will be awarded.

There will be no allocation for this target if the positioning is below the median.

Sustainability objectives - ESG

Sustainability performance determines 30% of the number of accrued shares and is measured by a series of indicators, referring to the group perimeter, as illustrated in the table below.

Creation of value for other stakeholders

EXPECTED RESULT
Carbon footprint reduction Carbon footprint reduction in line with SBTi target approved by the Board
of Directors
Increased use of energy from
renewable sources
30% of electricity used from renewable sources
Corporate reputation assessment Positive evaluation of Atlantia provided by an independent third party, on a
predefined rating scale
Gender equality Female population:
> 20% managerial positions
> 20% governance and control bodies
> 40% selection processes for professional roles
Safety Accident frequency rate < 14
(No. of accidents per million hours worked, direct employees)

For each of the sustainability indicators it is possible to obtain a score on a scale from 50 to 150 points (threshold-maximum) based on the result obtained compared to the expected result. Results below the threshold level result in the allocation of zero points. Achievement of an average score of at least 50 points is required for the accrual of actions related to sustainability metrics. The Board of Directors will assess the level of results achieved on the basis of the preliminary investigation prepared by the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee in agreement with the Sustainability Committee. The data on the performance achieved will be taken from the annual reporting reports and, if necessary, supplemented by specific reporting on the subject.

Incentive levels

The value of the equity incentive when the right to receive shares is granted in relation to the performance that will be achieved is defined for each beneficiary in relation to the role covered and the contribution to results. This incentive is a number of shares, target and maximum, calculated by taking as a reference a multiple of the fixed remuneration and the share price recorded in the month preceding the start of each plan cycle.

The incentive levels for 2021 (as a percentage of the fixed component4) of the 2021-2023 Stock Grant Plan are shown below.

ROLE INCENTIVE LEVELS (% OF FIXED COMPONENT)
Target Maximum
Chairman 70% 100%
Chief Executive Officer 100% 150%
Top Management 70% 100%

Lock-up forecast

A portion equal to 50% of the shares accrued in relation to the results achieved at the end of the vesting period, net of the shares that will be sold to cover taxes and any other contribution charges ("sell to cover") will be subject to a non-transferability restriction for a period of 24 months from the end of the vesting period.

4 - The basis of calculation is considered to be the fixed gross annual salary and the remuneration approved as per paragraph 3.

4.5.3 Clawback clause

There are contractual arrangements that allow the Company to demand the return, in whole or in part, of variable components of remuneration paid (or to withhold amounts subject to deferral), determined on the basis of data that may be manifestly incorrect. Manifestly incorrect data are those data useful for the purposes of verifying the achievement of the targets under the various incentive plans, on which the accrual of rights is conditional. The manifest error that can characterize the data can be:

  • a performance calculation error resulting in the achievement of an objective (basis of payment of a variable form) which would not have been achieved in the absence of the factual error;
  • fraudulent alteration of the data used to achieve the objectives or in any case of the data on the basis of which the disbursement or attribution of the bonus was decided, in order to obtain the right to the incentive; or
  • the achievement of targets through conduct contrary to legal provisions or company regulations.

The Company also reserves the right of clawback against individuals who are found to be responsible, with malice or gross negligence, for violations of laws and/or regulations, the Code of Ethics, the Code of Conduct or company rules that are related to or have an impact on the employment relationship, affecting the related fiduciary assumption, even where such conduct has not had a direct impact on the achievement of objectives and the accrual of the right to bonus payments.

The clawback right may be exercised by the Company within five years from the vesting of the right to payment of the variable component or from the grant of the shares.

4.5.4 Variable remuneration structure for audit functions

A specific short- and long-term incentive program of a monetary nature is envisaged for the Internal Audit Manager, with objectives consistent with the scope of their responsibilities.

4.6 Benefits

Benefits are defined as the provision of goods and/or services related to the employment relationship. The benefits package consists of both goods and/or services in accordance with the provisions of the national [and corporate] collective bargaining agreement, and of additional goods and/or services defined in line with market practices; it is differentiated by company population bracket and consists mainly of social security, insurance and health benefits.

Specifically, provision may be made for:

  • insurance coverage for the risks of death and permanent disability due to accidents and occupational and non-occupational diseases;
  • supplementary pension;
  • supplementary health care;
  • forms of welfare for education, family care, sporting activities;
  • D&O insurance coverage against third party liability;
  • assignment of a car for mixed use and guesthouse accommodation.

05. Indemnities in case of termination of office or employment and noncompetition agreements

The Company does not provide for ex-ante agreements for termination of office or termination of employment for Executive Directors, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and Top Management, which are not in line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and best practices of corporate governance, in compliance with laws and collective agreements. Specifically:

  • For the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr Cerchiai: there are no agreements that regulate ex ante the economic aspects relating to the possible early termination of the directorship at the initiative of the individual or the Company;
  • For the Chief Executive Officer, effective 13th January 2020, and General Manager, Mr Bertazzo effective 1st March 2020, the contract currently in effect specifies termination rules that provide, in the event of:
  • withdrawal from the Company without just cause;
  • revocation/non-renewal of office (without just cause), reduction of powers, reduction of fixed/variable remuneration;
  • termination of manager for cause from the management relationship;
  • the manager's withdrawal from the relationship within 90 days of the completion of a corporate transaction involving a change of control of the Company as a result of the sale of shares (if not agreed to by the manager himself);

payment of a gross lump-sum allowance equal to double the average total remuneration, understood as the sum:

• of the gross fixed remuneration received as an employee as at the date of termination;

  • the fixed gross remuneration received as a director at the date of termination;
  • the average of the last three years of the amount paid as variable MBO remuneration);
  • Individual agreements are in place for a manager with Strategic Responsibilities and for another employee who is part of the Company's Top Management, which regulate ex ante the economic aspects of any termination of the relationship; in both cases, a gross lump sum indemnity is paid equal to twice the average total Remuneration, intended as the sum of the gross fixed Remuneration received as an employee on the date of termination and the average of the last three years of the amounts paid as annual variable Remuneration.

The allocation of the allowances is in lieu of and in derogation of the payments due under the law and the National Collective Labour Agreement for managers of companies producing goods and services.

For other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, and for Top Management in general, there are no agreements in place that regulate ex ante the economic aspects relating to the possible termination of the employment relationship at the initiative of the individual or of the Company. Any withdrawal will therefore be governed by current legislation and the National Collective Labour Agreement for managers of companies producing goods and services or by individual agreements.

On the proposal of the Nomination, Remuneration and Human Capital Committee, the Board may provide for Executive Directors and Top Management an indemnity for the early termination of the directorship or its non-renewal and/or for the termination of the employment relationship, defined in such a way that its total amount does not exceed a certain number of years of remuneration within a maximum ceiling to exit agreements entered into ex-ante equal to 24 months of average Remuneration from employment Gross annual salary (GAS) + MBO paid in the three-year period. Absent ex ante agreements, there is a commitment not to pay indemnities for termination of employment exceeding 24 months' salary (except in cases where this is due to application of the National Collective Labour Agreement).

Unless otherwise specified, for the effects of the termination of the relationship on the rights assigned under the long-term incentive plans, please refer to the Information Documents published on the Company's website.

There are no non-competition agreements in place with Executive Directors, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities or Top Management of the Company. During 2020, a non-competition agreement with an Executive with Strategic Responsibilities was terminated by agreement between the parties.

06. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors and participation in Intra-Board Committees

The Remuneration of the members of the current Board of Directors, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 18th April 2019 and in office for the three-year period 2019-2021, is set as follows:

    1. any additional remuneration for particular positions held (e.g., participation in Committees set up within the Board).

The remuneration of non-executive Directors is not linked to the economic results achieved by the Company, nor is their participation in short and medium-long term incentive plans.

Remuneration for participation in the Board Committees

The remuneration of the members of the Board Committees established within Atlantia's Board of Directors, as determined at the General Meeting of 18th April 2019, is as follows:

Section II

Report on compensation paid 2020

Introduction

This section of the Report provides a representation of the compensation paid or accrued but still to be paid as a result of the rules governing specific incentive plans, in 2020, on an accruals basis, to Directors, Statutory Auditors and other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities at an aggregate level where there is no requirement for disclosure on an individual basis under applicable law.

This Section is subject to the non-binding vote of the shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting as provided for by Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Law on Finance" or CLF, as revised by Legislative Decree No. 49 of 10 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 legal audit of the financial statements verifies that the directors have prepared this Section, as required by Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (as revised by Legislative Decree of 10 May 2019).

The remuneration items reported are consistent with the Policy approved in 2020 by the Board of Directors and submitted to the binding vote at the 29th May 2020 Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 6 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, which voted in favour of the Policy.

During the year, the relevant corporate boards took note of the main reasons for negative votes on the second section, mainly related to Engineer Castellucci's severance.

Below is a representation of the votes on compensation paid in 2019.

In this respect, with this Report the Company seeks to better incorporate the input provided by investors, proxy advisors and stakeholders in general. The 2021 Remuneration Policy provides that compensation in the event of termination of employment may not exceed 24 months of the average annual fixed and variable compensation received in the previous three years, without prejudice to the provisions of the applicable National Collective Bargaining Agreement. Further, considering the high percentage of favourable votes obtained for the 2020 Remuneration Policy (Section I), the Company did not apply any waiver for the year 2020 and paid remuneration in accordance with the approved policy.

For some of the issues set out above, the Committee was supported by consulting firm Willis Towers Watson, whose independence of judgement it verified in advance.

Below are the most significant issues addressed:

Atlantia involved its Italian employees in an extended share ownership plan and ~9 out of 10 employees have joined the initiative, thus becoming shareholders.

To make the business sustainable and to avoid weakening the strength of the company, as well as for the benefit of our people, the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager waived 25% of their fixed remuneration beginning in May 2020 and our Italian managers did not receive MBO and LTI variable incentive plans.

The Committee supported the Board of Directors in the Holding Company's change and renewal process by hiring five new resources reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and reaching settlement agreements for the departure of two executives with strategic responsibilities.

02. Fixed component

The total compensation payable to members of the Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Auditors and other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, pertaining to 2020, is specified in Table 1 annexed hereto.

Chairman of the Board of Directors

During the year, the Chairman of the Board of Directors received fixed remuneration of EUR 683,333, of which EUR 66,666 as Director (1st paragraph) and EUR 616,667 as Chairman (3rd paragraph). This remuneration is in line with the 2020 Remuneration Policy; indeed, the Chairman waived 25% of his fixed remuneration starting from May 2020, allocating the amounts to the fundraising promoted by the Group's management in favour of the citizens of the city of Genoa most in need and to the initiatives promoted in favour of the families in difficulty of the Group's employees.

Chief Executive Officer and General Manager

Since 13th January 2020, the role of Chief Executive Officer has been held by Mr Carlo Bertazzo, who, as of 1st March 2020, has also been appointed General Manager.

The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager received fixed remuneration of EUR 566,622 in 2020, of which EUR 66,623 as Director (1st paragraph), EUR 160,000 as Chief Executive Officer (3rd paragraph) and the remainder as General Manager. This remuneration is in line with the 2020 Remuneration Policy; indeed, Mr Bertazzo waived 25% of his fixed remuneration starting from May 2020, allocating the amounts to the fundraising promoted by the Group's management in favour of the citizens of the city of Genoa most in need and to the initiatives promoted in favour of the families in difficulty of the Group's employees.

Non-executive directors

During 2020, compensation was paid in accordance with the 2020 Report on Remuneration and Remuneration Paid, as approved at the 18th April 2019 Meeting of the Company's Shareholders.

The detailed breakdown by name is shown in the annexed Table 1.

General Manager

From the beginning of 2020 until 30th April 2020, the General Manager position was held by Mr Guenzi. The fixed remuneration for the position was EUR 600,000 per year. The total fixed remuneration received during 2020 is EUR 200,000 as pro-rata temporis remuneration for the period in which he held the position.

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities ("ESRs") were paid fixed remuneration totalling EUR 4,995,175. Among these executives with strategic responsibilities, it should be noted that Francisco José Aljaro Navarro, who is Chief Executive Officer of Abertis, was paid fixed remuneration of EUR 1,200,000 for 2020.

Remuneration paid to ESRs, who are also employees of a Group company, for sitting on the Boards of Directors of subsidiaries, associates or companies in which Atlantia SpA holds an interest, may be waived or paid back to the company with which they are employed, unless that company decides otherwise.

Adjustments to fixed remuneration were made in 2020 for certain Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, subject to the proposal and approval of the appropriate corporate boards.

03. Variable component

Amounts paid in respect of non-equity variable remuneration are specified under the relevant heading in Tables 1 and 3B. Details of the components based on financial instruments are shown in Tables 2 and 3A annexed herein.

3.1 Short-term variable component

3.1.1 MBO 2018

As is well known, 2018 was marked by the dramatic collapse of a section of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa.

By a resolution adopted in May 2019, the relevant corporate boards of the Company decided to temporarily suspend the quantification and possible payment of the 2018 MBO bonus, because it was impossible to calculate the access target for the accrual of this bonus, represented by the Operating Cash Flow or "OCF", since this parameter was strongly impacted by the costs, which could not be precisely determined at the time, resulting from the tragic event described above.

In 2020, the Company's relevant corporate boards recalculated these costs and, as a result of this analysis, it emerged that, although it is not yet possible to make a final assessment of the OCF parameter, on the basis of even the most optimistic forecasts, the possibility of achieving the parameter is extremely unlikely. As a result, the Company decided not to pay any 2018 MBO bonus, which is also a further gesture of social responsibility towards all the victims and others impacted by that tragic event.

3.1.2 MBO 2020

In line with the 2020 Remuneration Policy, during the year, neither the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, Mr Bertazzo, nor any of the beneficiaries of the MBO plan in the Italian part of the Group, benefited from this annual incentive plan.

In accordance with the 2020 approved policy, the Abertis subsidiary earned an MBO incentive for:

  • the Chief Executive Officer with a payout of EUR 814,800 determined by achieving a score of the 97%;
  • another executive with strategic responsibilities with a pay-out of EUR 294,000 determined by achieving a score of the 98%.

The degree to which the individual objectives assigned to the Chief Executive Officer of Abertis have been achieved is shown below:

OBJECTIVE WEIGHT ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL
ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE 30% 50%
EXTRAORDINARY OPERATION (RCO) 10% 125%
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES 20% 125%
COUNTRY SPECIFIC: SPAIN 15% 115%
COUNTRY SPECIFIC: BRAZIL 15% 100%
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 10% 125%
TOTAL 97%

3.1.3 Bonuses and other incentives

In accordance with the 2020 Remuneration Policy, during the year, extraordinary incentives were granted to the General Manager and certain Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, as described below.

General Manager

The Board of Directors assigned variable incentives to Mr Guenzi in 2019, following his appointment as General Manager, subject to the achievement of strategic objectives related to the Holding Company. Following the evaluation of the performance achieved by Atlantia's Board of Directors, a total amount of EUR 150,000 was paid during 2020, as communicated to the market on 28th April 2020.

Executives with strategic responsibilities

An executive with strategic responsibilities received a bonus of EUR 88,000 linked to the successful completion of an extraordinary transaction involving the sale of an investee company.

In addition, during the year, ex ante objectives related to two other extraordinary and highly strategic transactions for the Group were assigned to two Executives with strategic responsibilities.

If the transactions are concluded in accordance with ex ante defined performance parameters, these bonuses will be finalised by the relevant boards during 2021.

All bonuses awarded and paid have clawback clauses.

3.1.4 Other remuneration - noncompetition agreements

Executives with strategic responsibilities

In 2020, compensation of EUR 52,500 was paid to Executives with strategic responsibilities as a settlement amount for the early termination of a non-competition agreement.

3.2 Medium- to long-term variable component

In line with the 2020 Remuneration Policy, no medium-long term incentive plans were assigned during the year.

As of 31st December 2020, the Plans being vested are:

  • Phantom Stock Option 2017 ("Phantom SOP 2017");
  • Phantom Stock Grant 2017 ("Phantom SGP 2017");
  • 2017 Phantom Stock Options Additional Incentive Plan ("Phantom PASOP 2017");
  • Abertis Monetary LTIP Plan 2019 2021.

The disclosure documents for the Plans prepared pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 1 of the Issuers' Regulations are available on the Company's website.

No labour cost expenses were recognised during 2020 for the Phantom Stock Option 2017 and Phantom Stock Grant 2017 2nd and 3rd cycles in relation to the vesting of rights, based on the best estimate at the date of this document of the rights that will become exercisable (i.e., zero). Please refer to the details in Tables 2 and 3A.

During 2020, the gate relating to the 1st cycle of the 2017 SOP/SGP Plans was also found not to have been reached and therefore the entitlements for this cycle lapsed. This gate was represented by the cumulative OCF whose achievement was adversely affected by the COVID- 19 pandemic crisis.

3.3 Proportion of fixed and variable remuneration

In line with the provisions introduced by the Issuers' Regulation and considering the remuneration levels highlighted above, the following is an indication of the ratio of fixed and variable compensation paid in 2020, taking Table 1 as a reference1 and specifically:

  • Fixed remuneration and benefits as a percentage of total remuneration (including fair value of equity remuneration);
  • Bonuses and other incentives, other remuneration and fair value of equity remuneration as a percentage of total compensation (including fair value of equity remuneration).

3.4 Extende share ownership plan

In 2020, Atlantia implemented its share ownership plan by awarding 75 shares free of charge to beneficiary employees. The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and all other Executives with strategic responsibilities benefiting from the initiative have adhered.

Please refer to the details in Tables 4A and 4B.

6.0 Application of ex-post correction mechanisms - Clawback

The Company has invoked ex post corrective mechanisms against the previous Chief Executive Officer Mr Giovanni Castellucci on the basis of the new information set out in the order for precautionary measures issued by the Genoa Preliminary Investigation Judge on 11th November 2020, regardless of their criminal relevance.

Specifically, on 13th November 2020 Atlantia SpA's Board of Directors resolved to suspend payment of the amounts provided for in the consensual termination agreement entered into between the Company and the former Chief Executive Officer on 17th September 2019 (the "Agreement") following facts that emerged after the signing of the Agreement and to request repayment of the amounts paid as the first and second instalments as well as for the payment of MBOs and plans, activating the clawback clauses provided for therein.

As a result, the Company filed an action before the Court of Rome seeking a declaration that:

  1. Pursuant to Article 10.2 of the Agreement, Atlantia S.p.A. has the right not to proceed with payment of the third instalment of the gross amount of EUR 3,273,918.75 (three million two hundred and seventy-three thousand nine hundred and eighteen/75) and the fourth instalment of the gross amount of EUR 3,273,918.75 (three million two hundred and seventy-three thousand nine hundred and eighteen/75) referred to in Article 7.1 of the Agreement, in favour of Engineer Giovanni Castellucci.

    1. Also pursuant to Article 10.2 of the Agreement, Atlantia S.p.A. is entitled to the repayment by Engineer Giovanni Castellucci of the first and second instalments under Article 7.1 of the Agreement for a net amount of EUR 1,783,303.55 (one million seven hundred and eighty-three thousand three hundred and three/55), i.e. the amount received in September 2019 as the first instalment, and the net amount of EUR 1,790,833.36 (one million seven hundred and ninety thousand eight hundred and thirty-three/36), i.e., the amount received in October 2020 as the second instalment.
    1. Atlantia S,p.A. is entitled to repayment of all amounts paid to Engineer Giovanni Castellucci in cash and financial instruments under the 2014 Phantom Stock Option Plan - 2nd cycle, the 2017 Annual MBO and the 2017 Additional Incentive Plan - Phantom Stock Options - for the following gross amounts: EUR 414,178.08 (four hundred and fourteen thousand one hundred and seventy-eight/08), as the consideration for the exercise of 169,779 Options under the 2014 Phantom Stock Option Plan - 2nd cycle; Euro 305,116.62 (three hundred and five thousand one hundred and sixteen/62), as the 2017 Annual MBO;
    1. Atlantia SpA has the right to revoke the assignment to Engineer Giovanni Castellucci of 2,345,340 (two million three hundred and forty-five thousand three hundred and forty) Options under the 2017 Additional Incentive Plan - Phantom Stock Options and to see that they are not exercised.

The parties' appearance hearing is scheduled for 9th June 2021.

The Board also approved a specific policy (called "Ethical Rules of Conduct and Policy on Disciplinary Actions, Suspensions from Service and Termination of Employment") regarding employees involved in criminal proceedings. The policy provides that an assessment of the alleged facts is necessary – regardless of whether criminal liability is established – to establish that there are no conflicts of interest or significant breach of rules, the Code of Ethics or company policies.

In the event of a negative evaluation of the employee's or former employee's performance, the measures referred to above will be taken.

If the evaluation reveals behaviour that does not comply with the rules, principles and values of the company and the Group, the following actions will be taken:

  • Disciplinary measures, up to and including termination of employment;
  • Interruption of the payment of legal costs, if the facts ascertained constitute any improper exercise of the assigned functions;
  • Exercise of clawback clauses, if any;
  • Claim for any further damages, including reputational damages.

7.0 Treatment for end of office or termination of employment

General Manager

In 2020, the Company's Board of Directors decided to mutually terminate the employment relationship with the General Manager, Mr Giancarlo Guenzi.

The agreement implements what is illustrated in the 2020 Remuneration Policy and, in particular, provides for the payment of a redundancy incentive amounting to EUR 1,080,000 gross, plus severance pay, upon consensual termination of employment which terminated on 30th April 2020.

In addition to the rights already vested under the Long-Term Incentive Plans, Mr Guenzi retained the rights granted under the 2017 Phantom Stock Grant Plan - 1st and 2nd cycles, under the 2017 Phantom Stock Option Plan - 1st and 2nd cycles and under the 2017 Supplemental Incentive Plan - Phantom Stock Option, under the terms and conditions of the respective regulations.

With regard to the 1st cycle of the 2017 Plans, it should be noted that they lapsed as the gate objective was not achieved.

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities

As part of the process of change and renewal of the Holding Company, two individual settlement agreements for the exit of Executives with strategic responsibilities were defined during 2020.

These individual agreements provided for termination payments totalling EUR 2,790,000 gross, of which:

  • EUR 2,450,000 as a redundancy incentive;
  • EUR 50,000 as remuneration for the exercise of the positions also after the termination of the relationship and until the date to be indicated by the Company;
  • EUR 20,000 as a settlement amount, EUR 120,000 as consideration for confidentiality obligations and EUR 150,000 as consideration for the executive's commitment to collaborate with the Company even after termination of the relationship.

This remuneration was paid immediately upon termination.

Finally, these agreements provide for the maintenance of the D&O policy even after the termination of the relationship in favour of managers.
