Amaro, May 11, 2021 – Today's Board of Directors of Eurotech S.p.A. ("Eurotech" or the "Company"), has approved the main terms and conditions of the performance share plan based on Eurotech's ordinary shares (the "Plan"), pursuant to Articles 114-bis of Legislative Decree no. 58/98 ("TUF") and 84-bis of the Regulation adopted by Consob Resolution no. 11971/1999 ("Issuers' Regulations"), aimed, inter alia, at Eurotech's executive directors as well as employees of the Eurotech Group, which will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting of 11 June 2021 called to examine, inter alia, the financial statements as at 31 December 2020.
The Plan is aimed at providing incentives and building the loyalty, also in the medium-long term, of individuals who hold key positions and are therefore more involved in the process of creating value for the Company and the Group.
In particular, the Plan is aimed at benefiting those persons who play a decisive role in the achievement of the company's results, in order to strengthen their participation in the process of value creation and in the business risk, also acting as a tool for the so-called retention and also allowing the alignment of the interests of the beneficiaries with those of the shareholders, with a view to a concrete pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company.
Beneficiaries of the Plan include:
In the light of the definition contained in art. 84-bis, paragraph 2 of the Issuers' Regulation, it should be noted that the Plan - with regard to its beneficiaries - has the characteristics of a "particularly significant plan".
The Plan provides for three annual free allocations of Eurotech shares, which may be granted, again free of charge, at the end of the relevant three-year vesting period, subject to and based on the level of achievement of the performance targets in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and its implementing regulation. Moreover, a percentage equal to 20% of the accrued shares will be subject to a two-year lock-up period.
For the purposes of the allocation of shares to the beneficiaries, the Company's treasury shares (already issued), which may be purchased pursuant to Article 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, or treasury shares already held by Eurotech, will be used.
The performance objectives of the Plan generally consist of the following parameters:
For the purposes of the first attribution cycle of the Plan, i.e., for the three-year period encompassing fiscal years 2021- 2023, the following indicators were identified:
For assignments subsequent to the first cycle, the Board of Directors may set, upon proposal or with the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the economic-financial or TSR objectives that best reflect the priority to be followed for the subsequent three-year period, as well as the related percentage weight and performance/payout levels, without prejudice to the provision of one or two economic-financial objectives and one TSR objective.
Minimum and maximum performance levels/payouts will be established for each of the performance goals.
The illustrative report of the Board of Directors, as well as the information document containing any further information related to the Plan pursuant to art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and art. 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation, will be made available to the public according to the terms and methods set out by law.
