ENAV (the "Company") handles civil air traffic in Italy, ensuring its uninterrupted operation according to the highest standards of safety and efficiency, by means of its staff and its outstanding technological and infrastructure.

With some 4,200 employees, the Company provides air navigation services to its customers, the airlines flying in Italian airspace and is the leading company among the five largest industry players in Europe in terms of operating performance and capacity for innovation.

As a key operator in the international air traffic management system, ENAV participates in research and development initiatives in coordination with national and international industry oversight bodies and is one of the major actors in the establishment of the Single European Sky, the programme to harmonise EU air traffic management, with the goal of enhancing the safety and efficiency of air transportation.

ENAV pursues an ethical and socially responsible business model, oriented to achieve the objectives included in the Sustainable Development Goals (also through active participation in the United Nations Global Compact) and the sustainable success of the company, to generate value for the company and its stakeholders in the long term. This objective, which also takes into account the social importance of the company's activity, guides its system of governance. By means of its sustainability plan, the Company has developed several initiatives in the social and environmental field, including the reduction of its carbon footprint and that of its customers, has intensified its commitment to corporate giving, including through corporate volunteering, and has also increased the level of involvement of all employees on the subject, with respect to which the commitment of senior management is encouraged by means of special incentive mechanisms, as set out in further detail in the Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid in the financial year ending 31 December 2020, referred to herein.

ENAV: PROFILE AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

A. GOVERNANCE

In view of the social importance of the Company's operations, the main objective of ENAV's corporate governance system is to perpetuate the company's sustainable success, to create longterm value for its shareholders and appropriately balance and foster all the interests involved. The ENAV corporate governance structure is based on the traditional Italian model, which, save for the powers reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting by law and the Articles of Association, gives the Board of Directors responsibility for the strategic and operational management of the Company, while the Board of Statutory Auditors is charged with performing oversight functions.

In accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has appointed a Chief Executive Officer, who has been granted all powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, while reserving decisions on certain matters to itself. The Chief Executive Officer is thus the person primarily responsible for the management of the Company, without prejudice to the powers and responsibilities reserved to the Board of Directors.

At its meeting on 21 May 2020, the Board of Directors also granted the Chair the authority to coordinate internal auditing activities and, together with the Chief Executive Officer, responsibility for managing national and international institutional relations and oversees the corporate governance. The Chair, in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer, also handles the Company's external communication activities and relations with national and foreign media.

The model adopted by the Company separates of the functions of the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, while both are responsible for representing the Company.

In accordance with the Articles of Association and with the recommendations of the Self-governance Code and the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has established three internal committees to provide advice and recommendations to the Board: the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and the Sustainability Committee, which report to the Board through their respective Chairmen at every Board meeting.

At its meeting on 24 June 2020, the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal of the Chief Executive Officer and taking note of the favourable opinion issued by the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, also appointed the Financial Reporting Officer in charge of preparing the Company's financial statements for the three years from 2020 to 2022.

The task of performing independent statutory audit functions for the period from 2016 to 2024 is carried out by the audit firm EY S.p.A., which is entered in the register of audit firms and was appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2016, acting on a proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Main elements of the Internal Control and Risk Management System

Enterprise Risk Management in the ENAV Group

The pandemic and the resulting crisis in the air transport sector have led to a profound alteration of the reference context for the ENAV Group, in both operational and commercial terms. The Enterprise Risk Management process has consequently been adapted in the light of this context, guaranteeing in 2020 objective activities such as the update of the "Risk Appetite Statement", the update of the ICRMS Guidelines and the conduct of two risk monitoring activities, in May and December.

The Risk Appetite Statement 2020, in discontinuity with the approach previously followed, introduced updates to the quality guidelines (statement) of risk management by classifying them by Category and Topic. For each of the Topics, the related appetite level was proposed according to a standard taxonomy.

Finally, the ICRMS guidelines adopted with Board Resolution of 12 March 2020 transpose the medium-term organisational and corporate changes that have taken place, showing in the context of the SCIGR stakeholders an improved specification and explicitation of certain roles and activities. The two risk monitoring activities conducted in 2020 substantially confirmed the risk profile defined within the previous CRP, while identifying new elements of attention mainly deriving from the negative impacts of the pandemic.

Over 2020, the Company took various actions to support the improvement of the effectiveness of the ICRMS, to keep it constantly in line with the characteristics of the business and its risk profile. These include:

  • the introduction and constant updating of measures to deal with the public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • on the administrative-accounting control area of the Financial Reporting Officer, including in light of certain organisational changes, the updating of the accounting administrative procedures and a project aimed at evaluating the current internal control system on financial disclosure based on the entire scope of consolidation.

SECTION I – INFORMATION ON OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

1. INFORMATION ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

1.1. Share capital structure

As of the date of this Report, the subscribed and paid-in share capital of ENAV is equal to €541,744,385.00 and consists of 541,744,385 ordinary shares with no par value.

ENAV shares are non-divisible and each share bears the right to one vote. The shares are freely transferable.

ENAV has not issued other categories of shares or financial instruments that can be converted into or exchanged with shares.

For information on the structure of ENAV's share capital, please see the table in the Summary above and in section 1.3 below.

1.2. Major capital holdings

As of the date of this Report, based on the Company's shareholder register and notifications received in accordance with Art. 120 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and other information received, the following entities directly or indirectly hold shares in ENAV worth more than 3% of the share capital:

  • The Ministry of the Economy and Finance ("MEF"), with 53.28% of the share capital;
  • Amundi Asset Management S.A. (including Pioneer AM), with 4.62%;
  • Azimut Capital Management SGR S.p.A. with 3.46%.

It should be noted that, on the basis of the exemptions provided for in Art. 119-bis, paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Issuers Regulation, expressly without prejudice to Consob Resolutions No. 21304 of 17 March 2020 and No. 21326 of 9 April 2020, savings management companies and qualified entities which, as part of the management activities, have acquired managed holdings, greater than 3% and lesser than 5%, are not required to comply with the reporting obligations provided for in Art. 117 of the Issuers Regulation. Therefore, net of the shares held by the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, the other relevant holdings indicated above, as at the date of approval of this Report, may be varied and may not be in line with the data processed and made public by different sources, where the change in the holding has not entailed reporting obligations on the part of the shareholders, by virtue of the aforementioned exemptions.

1.3. Distribution of shareholder base

The following table shows the distribution of ENAV's shareholders by geographical region6 :

Area/Region Percentage of share capital
Italy (MEF) 53.3%
Italy (institutional + retail investors/employees 19.0%
+ treasury shares)
United States + Canada 7.1%
Australia 2.2%
United Kingdom + Ireland 4.5%
Rest of Europe + Switzerland 8.7%
Rest of the world and undisclosed 5.2%

6 Shareholder identification conducted in November 2020. The table was prepared in accordance with the notifications provided for by law and the information available to the Company.

1.4. Shares conferring special rights

The Company has issued no shares conferring special rights.

1.5. Employee stock ownership: exercising voting rights

Art. 137 of the Consolidated Law on Finance provides that the articles of association of a company with listed shares may include provisions to facilitate proxy voting by shareholders who are employees.

With a view to facilitating the involvement of this category of shareholders in the decision-making processes of the Shareholders' Meeting, the ENAV Articles of Association establish that in order to facilitate the collection of proxies from shareholders who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and belong to shareholder associations that meet the requirements laid down by applicable law, facilities to be used for communication and the collection of proxies shall be made available to these associations in accordance with the terms and procedures agreed with their legal representatives.

In the Financial year, ENAV's Investor Relations unit maintained an ongoing and constructive dialogue with the LAGE (Lavoratori Azionisti Gruppo ENAV – ENAV Group Shareholder Employees) association, mainly in the form of periodic meetings, updating it on Company activities.

As of the date of this Report, the association does not meet the requirements established by the Consolidated Law and accordingly the provisions of Article 8.1 of the Articles of Association described above do not apply to it.

1.6. Restrictions on the transfer of securities and special powers of the Italian State

The ENAV Articles of Association do not establish any restrictions of the transfer of the Company's shares, although they are subject to the application of specific statutory provisions. The Company is subject to the provisions of Decree-Law No. 21 of 15 March 2012, converted with the modifications into Law No. 56 of 11 May 2012 ("Legislative Decree 21/2012"), concerning the special powers of the Italian State (the "golden powers") regarding strategic assets in the (i) energy, transportation and communications sectors and in the (ii) defence and national security field, with the amendments introduced by Article 4-bis of Decree Law 105 of 21 September 2019, ratified with amendments by Law 133 of 18 November 2019 containing urgent measures for national cyber security and rules governing special powers in strategic sectors". In particular, the adoption of specific corporate resolutions by the Company or the purchase of specific significant equity interests in the share capital of ENAV could be limited by these special powers.

These regulations gives the State the power to (a) veto resolutions, acts and transactions that – in giving rise to a change in the ownership, control or availability of the assets themselves or a change in their use – create an exceptional situation, not governed by national or European legislation, that seriously jeopardises the public interest concerning the security and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply; b) qualify the effectiveness of an acquisition of any type by a non-European Union entity of interests of such significance as to result in the permanent establishment of the purchaser as a result of the acquisition of control of the company, in accordance with Art. 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and Art. 93 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, if this purchase seriously jeopardise the public interest concerning the security and operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply, requiring that entity to make commitments ensuring the protection of such interests; and c) oppose the acquisition referred to under point (b) above if it should pose an exceptional risk to the protection of the public interest and the operation of networks and installations and the continuity of supply that cannot be eliminated by commitments of the acquiring entity to ensure the protection of such interests. Other limitations on governance and transactions may be imposed on firms "within the scope of national cybernetic security".

ENAV holds certain assets that are strategic assets in the field of defence and national security and, therefore, is subject to Art. 1 of Legislative Decree 21/2012 and the associated implementing provisions.

This means that if there is an actual threat seriously prejudicing the essential interests of national defence and security, the State can (i) impose specific conditions concerning the security of supply, the security of information, the transfer of technology or the control of exports in the event of an

acquisition, in any capacity, of interests in these companies; (ii) veto the adoption of resolutions by the shareholders' meeting or the boards of these companies that concern the merger or demerger of the company, the transfer of the company or units thereof or of subsidiaries, the transfer of the registered office abroad, the amendment of the corporate purpose, the dissolution of the company, the amendment of any clause of the Articles of Association adopted in accordance with Art. 2351, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code or introduced in accordance with Art. 3, paragraph 1 of Decree-Law 332/1994, the assignment of property rights or rights of use over tangible or intangible assets or the imposition of restrictions that affect their use; and (iii) oppose the acquisition, in any capacity, of interests in such companies by an entity other than the Italian State, Italian public entities or entities controlled by the latter, if the purchaser will hold, directly or indirectly, including through subsequent acquisitions, through a third party or entities that are otherwise connected, an interest in the voting capital of a size that could in this specific case compromise national defence and security interests.

Further restrictions on the transfer of securities derive from the implementation of the 2017-2019 Performance Share Plan, referred to in the Information Document drawn up in accordance with Art. 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation and approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2017 ("LTI Plan 2017-2019"), and the 2020-2022 Performance Share Plan, referred to in the Information Document drawn up in accordance with Art. 84-bis of the Issuers Regulation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 May 2020 ("LTI Plan 2020-2022"), the Implementing Regulations of which make a portion of the shares assigned to the CEO and other beneficiaries subject to a lock-up period. For more information on the lock-up mechanism of the Company long-term variable incentive system as detailed in the Plan Rules, please see the Remuneration Report drafted in accordance with Articles 123-ter of the Consolidated Law and Art. 84-quater of the Issuers Regulation, made available to the public on the Company's website at www.enav.it, as well as with the other methods provided for under applicable legislation.

1.7. Restrictions on voting rights

In accordance with the provisions of Art. 3 of Legislative Decree No. 332 of 31 May 1994 (ratified with amendments with Law 474 of 30 July 1994), ENAV's Articles of Association impose a limit on share ownership that produces gives the holding an equity interest of more than 5% of ENAV's share capital. This provision does not apply to the interest held by the MEF, by public entities or by entities controlled by the latter.

The limitation does not prohibit holding shares in an amount higher than the specified threshold, but does therefore prohibit the exercise of the administrative rights attaching to the shares held in excess of the maximum limit of 5%.

Accordingly, if the maximum shareholding limit is exceeded by several entities/individuals, the voting rights that would accrue to each party subject to the limitation on the interest they hold will be reduced proportionally, save for prior joint instructions issued by the shareholders involved.

In the event of non-compliance, the resulting resolution can be challenged in accordance with the applicable law if the required majority would not have been reached without the votes in excess of the maximum limit indicated above. Shares in respect of which voting rights cannot be exercised are nevertheless calculated for the purposes of determining the legitimate formation of the Shareholders' Meeting.

The aforementioned limit of 5% will lapse if it is exceeded as a result of the public tender offer provided that the offeror will hold, following the tender, an interest of at least 75% of the share capital with voting rights in connection with resolutions concerning the appointment or removal of the members of the Board of Directors or of the management or supervisory board.

1.8. Agreements between shareholders

As of the date of this Report there is no knowledge of the existence of shareholder agreements in accordance with Art. 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

1.9. Change-of-control clauses in significant agreements and provisions of the Articles of Association regarding Public Tender Offers

ENAV has been granted a number of bank loans and issued a bond in a private placement that allow the counterparty to terminate the contract in advance in the event of a change of control involving the Company.

For more information on these agreements, readers are invited to consult the Annual Financial Report 2020, note 40 "Managing financial risk" of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which is published on the Company's website.

Passivity rule and neutralisation rules

The Articles of Association do not provide for exceptions to the passivity rule in accordance with Art. 104, paragraphs 1 and 1-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and do not provide for application of the neutralisation rules under Art. 104-bis, paragraph 2 and 3, of the Consolidated Law.

1.10. Authorisation to increase the share capital and purchase treasury shares

As of the date of this Report, the Board of Directors has not been authorised to increase the share capital in accordance with Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, nor can it issue other participating financial instruments.

As of the date of this Report, the Company holds 772,103 treasury shares, equal to 0.14% of share capital. The shares, with an initial quantity of 1,200,000, were purchased, in accordance with the authorisation approved by the 2018 Shareholders' Meeting, on the basis of the resolution of the Board of Directors of 31 May 2018, also in order to follow up the 2017-2019 LTI Plan, and were reduced in 2020 following the actual allocation to the beneficiaries of the first cycle of that LTI Plan in accordance with the relevant implementing regulation.

1.11. Management and coordination

For information regarding the appointment and replacement of Directors, please see section 3.2 of this Report.

Amendments of the Articles of Association are adopted by the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting with the majorities required by law.

Notwithstanding the above, Art. 17 of the Articles of Association gives the Board of Directors the power to approve, among other things, amendments of the Articles of Association that are expressly required by law.

2. COMPLIANCE

ENAV has always believed that constant control of its corporate governance and its alignment with Italian and international best practice are essential to achieving the Company's objectives. To that end, the Company complies with the self-governance instruments of listed companies, whereby the Corporate Governance Committee constantly adapts to best practices encountered by way of research and comparisons with other markets.

ENAV's corporate governance is fully compliant with the Corporate Governance Code7 in force during the Financial year, to which the Company has adhered.

On 31 January 2020, upon completion of broad-based reform of corporate governance in Italy, the Corporate Governance Committee amended the Self-governance Code and published the new Corporate Governance Code8 – made up of six sections of principles and recommendations and supported by a set of Q&A, the first 26 of which had already been published – which will be applicable from 2021 with market disclosure obligations beginning in 2022. The Code, based on criteria of flexibility and proportionality of the provisions, is notable for its consideration of business sustainability in corporate governance with a new, organic view of the duties of the Board of Directors, to which has been assigned primary responsibility for pursuing the success of the company's sustainability in the interests of its various stakeholders. In the same way, the Corporate Governance Code envisages an integration of sustainability goals in defining strategies and the business plan, in the system of risk management and internal controls, and in remuneration policies. Finally, under the new Corporate Governance Code, opening up the company's long-term objectives to all of its stakeholders, and the necessary compromise that will entail, will promote dialogue with relevant stakeholders, particularly with investors, and institutional investors above all, for which the new Code recommends specific engagement policies.

With its resolution of 18 February 2021, the Board of Directors, also in order to emphasise the full and convinced adherence of the Company to the rules of good corporate governance, resolved ENAV to join the new Code, to whose principles and recommendations – as pointed out in this Report – the corporate governance of the Company is largely aligned.

For the purposes and definitions referred to in the Code, ENAV is considered to be a large company with concentrated ownership.

The Company is not subject to foreign provisions of law impacting its corporate governance structure.

7 The Self-governance Code is available on the Borsa Italiana website at https://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitatocorporate-governance/codice/2018clean.pdf.

SECTION II – STRUCTURE OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY

3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3.1. Membership of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the central body of the corporate governance system and is vested with the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company. The Articles of Association establish that ENAV is managed by a Board of Directors composed of no fewer than five and no more than nine members and designates the Shareholders' Meeting as the body responsible for determining such number within that range.

The members of the Board of Directors shall remain in office for a period not exceeding three years, which expires on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the last year of their term.

The Board of Directors in office as at the Report Date is made up of nine members, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 21 May 2020. Specifically, the said Shareholders' Meeting:

  • set the number of members on the Board of Directors at nine;
  • appointed the Board of Directors, in the persons of Francesca Isgrò, Paolo Simioni, Angela Stefania Bergantino, Laura Cavallo, Giuseppe Lorubio, Fabiola Mascardi, Fabio Pammolli, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi;
  • appointed Francesca Isgrò as Chair of the Board of Directors;
  • set the term of office at three years, until the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2022.

When the Board of Directors was renewed, 85.20% of the share capital took part in the vote. Francesca Isgrò, Paolo Simioni, Angela Stefania Bergantino, Laura Cavallo, Giuseppe Lorubio and Fabio Pammolli were elected on the basis of the list presented by the shareholder MEF, voted for by the majority of the shareholders who participated in the Shareholders' Meeting – and precisely by 62.54% of the share capital represented in the Shareholders' Meeting – equal to 53.28% of the share capital.

Fabiola Mascardi, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi were elected on the basis of the list presented by institutional investors, voted for by the minority of shareholders who participated in the Shareholders' Meeting – and precisely by 29.18% of the share capital present in the Shareholders' Meeting – equal to 24.86% of the share capital9 .

At its meeting on 21 May 2021, the Board of Directors thus appointed Paolo Simioni as Chief Executive Officer of ENAV.

In the first few months of the Financial year and until the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors was made up of Nicola Maione, as Chair, and Roberta Neri, Giuseppe Acierno, Pietro Bracco, Maria Teresa Di Matteo, Fabiola Mascardi, Carlo Paris, Antonio Santi and Mario Vinzia, appointed respectively as follows:

• the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2017 had appointed the members of the Board of Directors, with the expiry of the mandate on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements relating to the financial year ending 31 December 2020, in the persons of Roberto Scaramella, Roberta Neri, Giuseppe Acierno, Maria Teresa Di Matteo, Nicola Maione, Fabiola Mascardi, Carlo Paris, Antonio Santi and Mario Vinzia. The said Meeting appointed Roberto Scaramella as Chair of the Board of Directors; at the meeting on 4 May 2017, the Board of Directors appointed Roberta Neri as Chief Executive Officer of ENAV.

9 For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that, in the same way as the rules of the list vote provided for in the Articles of Association, no Directors were drawn from the second minority list, presented by ENPAM, Inarcassa and other institutional investors and voted for by 8.11% of the shares represented in the Shareholders' Meeting, corresponding to 6.92% of the share capital.

• Following the resignation on 8 November 2018 of Roberto Scaramella as Director and Chair of the Board of Directors and the appointment of Director Nicola Maione as Chair of the Board of Directors on the same date by the Board of Directors – having regard to the provisions of Art. 14 of the Articles of Association and those of Art. 2380-bis, paragraph 5 of the Italian Civil Code, and taking into account the major role of the Chair in corporate governance, the Shareholders' Meeting held on 26 April 2019 confirmed the appointment of the Chair of the Board of Directors in person of Director Nicola Maione and reinstated the Governing Body with the appointment of a board member, in the person of Director Pietro Bracco.

The table below shows the main data on the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company in office as at the date of the Report, showing factors such as the lists from which the members of the Board and Directors in possession of the independence requirements in accordance with the TUF and the Self-governance Code were drawn.

On 18 February 2021, the Board of Directors, also taking into account the provisions referred to in Recommendation No. 7 of the Corporate Governance Code, adopted the policy relating to the criteria and procedure for the evaluation of the independence of the Directors of ENAV, aimed at pre-determining the quantitative and qualitative criteria to be applied when assessing the significance of the relationships referred to in points (c) and (d) of the aforementioned Recommendation, and to provide guidance in the process of verifying independence requirements, implementing the provisions of the Code based on the specific characteristics of the Company. In addition to the pre-determination of the thresholds of presumed significance of such relationships, the aforementioned policy includes the general principles ruling on the independence assessment process, including with specific regard to the duties of disclosure and assessment of each Director, the prevalence of substance over form, of a non-exhaustive nature and not of the cases of symptomatic lack of independence declined therein, the frequency and methodology of the assessments of independence and disclosure of the same to the market. On 23 March 2021, in the broader context of the periodic assessment on the fulfilment of the requirements under the law and under the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors assessed the existence of the independence, in light of the Code and the said policy. The said assessments, made under the supervision of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as at the date of this Report, show that 7 ENAV Directors out of 9 can be considered independent in accordance with the TUF and with the Code. The membership of the Board of Directors complies with the gender balance legislation in force on the date of appointment.

The personal and professional information relating to the individual members of the Board of Directors is summarised below:

3.2. Appointment and replacement

Directors must meet the integrity and professionalism requirements established in law and regulations, and in Art. 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association.

Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates presented by the shareholders, in which the candidates must be listed using consecutive numbers. On penalty of inadmissibility, slates shall be drawn up and filed at the Company's registered office and published in compliance with the applicable provisions of law and with these Articles of Association.

Only shareholders who alone or together with other shareholders represent at least 2.5% of the share capital or any other amount established by Consob through its own regulation, which was equal in 2021 to 1% of ENAV share capital (see Decision no. 44 of 29 January 2021 of the head of the Corporate Governance Division of Consob), are entitled to submit slates. Each slate shall include at least two candidates who meet the independence requirements, mentioning those candidates separately and placing one of them in first position on the slate.

According to Article 11.bis.3 of the Articles of Association, slates with a number of candidates equal to or greater than three must include candidates of a different gender, as indicated in the notice of call to the Shareholders' Meeting, so as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors is compliant with the applicable laws on gender balance. In this regard, it should be noted that Article 147-ter of the Consolidated Law, as amended by Law 160 of 27 December 2019, establishes that directors shall be appointed so as to ensure gender balance such that the less represented gender should hold at least two-fifths of the positions on the management body. These new rules shall apply for six consecutive terms. The regulations under Art. 144-undecies.1, paragraph 3 of the Issuers Regulation subsequently state that should application of the gender allocation criterion not result in a whole number of members of the management or oversight bodies from the less represented gender, that number shall to be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Board of Directors of ENAV consists of 9 members, 4 of whom from the less represented gender, and therefore complies with the aforementioned regulations and the recommendations of the Selfgovernance Code and the Corporate Governance Code.

In terms of diversity in the appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Auditors, in addition to the issues relating to the qualifications and experience of the members of these boards, ENAV has adopted the policy on diversity in the composition of the management and oversight bodies in accordance with Principle 2.P.4 of the Corporate Governance

Code, as described here in accordance with Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d-bis), of the Consolidated Law. The policy, as published on the Company's website, essentially establishes the objectives to be pursued and the assessment criteria deemed relevant, particularly in terms of diversity in gender, as required by law and by the Articles of Association, in age, in background, and in the factors for determining the independence of directors. Finally, the policy contains indications relating to the monitoring efforts of the Board in terms of application of the policy itself.

For the purpose of nominating candidates to the position of ENAV director, each shareholder may present and participate in the submission of only one slate. Their parent companies, subsidiaries or companies subject to common control may not submit, participate in the submission of or vote for other slates, including through a third party or a trust company, subsidiaries being the companies referred to in Art. 93 of the TUF, in force or as may be replaced. Each candidate may be present on only one slate upon penalty of disqualification. The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate, upon penalty of inadmissibility, as must the statements with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their own responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that they meet the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements prescribed by the applicable laws for their respective offices. Appointed directors must notify the Board of Directors without delay if they no longer meet any of these requirements, as well as any supervening causes of ineligibility or incompatibility. Each person entitled to vote may vote for only one slate.

If during the financial year, one or more directors are vacated, the provisions of Art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code shall apply. If one or more of the directors ceased form office was drawn from a slate containing names of candidates that were not elected, replacement will take place by appointing, according to the consecutive order, persons from the slate that the departing director was listed on and who are in at that time eligible and available to accept the office. In any case the replacement of directors will be performed by the Board of Directors, which will ensure the presence of the necessary number of directors that meet the independence requirements and ensure compliance with the applicable laws on gender balance. If the majority of directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting no longer holds, the entire Board shall resign and a Shareholders' Meeting shall be called immediately by the remaining directors to restore the Board.

3.3. Integrity and professionalism requirements and reasons for ineligibility and incompatibility of Directors

Directors must meet the integrity and professionalism requirements set by the law, by the applicable regulations and by the Articles of Association.

In particular, in accordance with Art. 11-bis.1 of the Articles of Association:

  • 1) Directors must be selected in accordance with criteria of professionalism and expertise from persons who have experience of at least three years in:
    • a) activities involving administration or control or management within companies,
    • b) professional activities or the teaching of legal, economic, financial or technical -scientific subjects at university level, or other subjects that are relevant or in any case functional to the operations of the Company; or,
    • c) administrative or management functions in government entities or departments, operating in sectors related to the Company's sector, or entities or departments that are not related to the aforementioned sectors provided the functions involve the management of financial resources.
  • 2) the Board of Directors shall provide guidelines, including through the issuance of appropriate board regulations, in accordance with the principles and criteria established by the Corporate Governance Code, regarding the maximum number of offices a director may hold in other companies that is considered compatible with the effective performance of the position of director within the Company.
  • 3) a Director shall be considered ineligible or shall forfeit his or her office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification, in the event he is convicted, even if not definitively, save for the effects of rehabilitation, for any of the crimes envisaged:

    • a) under the laws governing banking, financial, securities and insurance operations and the laws on markets and securities and payment instruments;
  • b) under Title XI of Book V of the Italian Civil Code and Royal Decree 267 of 16 March 1942;

  • c) under provisions punishing criminal offences committed against the public administration, the public faith, property, public order, the public economy or tax offences;
  • d) under Art. 51, paragraphs 3-bis of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, and under Art. 73 of Presidential Decree No. 309 of 9 October 1990.

Directors shall also be considered ineligible if they are committed for trial or ordered for immediate trial for any of the crimes set forth in the section above under letters a), b), c) and d), unless acquitted even under a non-definitive ruling, or if a definitive ruling is issued ascertaining the wilful commission of an offence to the detriment of the Treasury.

Any director who during the course of their office should receive notification of an order committing them to trial or immediate proceedings for any of the crimes set forth in the section above under letters a), b), c) and d), or of a definitive judgement ascertaining the wilful commission of an offence to the detriment of the Treasury shall immediately inform the Board of Directors, which shall be required to maintain confidentiality. In its first meeting thereafter or, in any case, within ten days subsequent to being informed of the rulings referred to in the third sentence above, the Board of Directors shall verify whether any of the circumstances indicated above obtain.

If the verification is positive, the director shall be removed from office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification except if the Board of Directors, within the above-mentioned ten days, convenes a Shareholders' Meeting, to be held within the subsequent sixty days, in order to submit to such meeting a proposal that the director be retained in office, supporting such proposal on the grounds that retaining such director in office is in the overriding interest of the Company. If verification by the Board of Directors is carried out after the end of the financial year, then the proposal shall be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the relative financial statements, subject to compliance with the time limits set forth in applicable law.

If the Shareholders' Meeting does not approve the proposal of the Board of Directors, the director shall forfeit his office with immediate effect for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification. Without prejudice to the provisions of the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer who is subject to: (a) incarceration or (b) pre-trial detention or house arrest, upon the outcome of the procedure envisaged under Article 309 or Article 311, paragraph 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, or after the associated time limits for establishment, shall forfeit his office for just cause, without being entitled to indemnification, and with the concurrent termination of all powers conferred upon him. Similarly, the Chief Executive Officer shall forfeit office if he is subject to any other type of personal pre-trial restriction that can no longer be appealed, if such measure is considered by the Board of Directors such as to render the execution of the powers conferred impossible.

For the purposes of the application of the aforementioned provisions of the Articles of Association, a plea agreement entered into in accordance with Art. 444 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure is deemed equivalent to a conviction, unless the offence is extinguished. Accordingly, the Board of Directors shall ascertain the existence of the situations provided for herein, with reference to the cases which are regulated in whole or in part by foreign jurisdiction, based on an evaluation of essential equivalence.

3.4. Board of Directors Succession and Orientation Plans.

Having regard to the provisions of application criterion 5.C.2 of the Self-governance Code, on 27 February 2018, on the proposal of the CRN, the Board of Directors resolved not to adopt a succession plan for executive directors for reasons connected with the shareholding structure and because, in accordance with the law and with the Articles of Association, directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates presented by the shareholders. On the same date, the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, resolved to adopt a contingency plan governing the steps to be undertaken in the event of the termination of the Chief Executive Officer's service before the ordinary expiry of his term, or in the event of unforeseen and unforeseeable events that prevent the Chief Executive Officer – who is the sole executive director of ENAV – to perform his duties in order to ensure the continuity in the regular management and operations of the Company, pending appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer. Such contingency plan also falls under Recommendation 24 of the Corporate Governance Code.

The Company prepares and updates succession plans for managers with strategic responsibilities in order to ensure the maximum continuity and sustainability of operations in the long term.

Having regard to the provisions of application criterion 1.C.1, letter h) of the Corporate Governance Code, on 18 February 2020 the11Board of Directors, with a view to the renewal of the Administrative Body, taking into account the results of the three-year self-assessment path carried out and after hearing from the CRN, adopted certain guidelines regarding the qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board of Directors, which were published in the "governance" section of the ENAV website and made available to shareholders called upon to renew the Governing Body at the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting.

Having regard to the provisions of Recommendation 23 of the Code and taking into account the ownership structure of ENAV, which is characterised as a concentrated property company, the Board of Directors may consider expressing, in view of its renewal, an orientation on its qualitative and quantitative composition considered optimal, taking into account the results of self-assessment and any further relevant criteria and indications.

3.5. Diversity policies and criteria

The policy on diversity in the composition of the management and oversight bodies in accordance with Principles 2.P.4 and 8.P.2 of the Self-governance Code, published on the Company's website and referenced in this report in accordance with Article 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter d-bis of the TUF, includes certain guidelines aimed at ensuring the broadest and most congruous diversity in points of view within corporate governance, with particular regard to the training and experience of the members of the board of directors and board of auditors, while also calling for processes for monitoring application of the policy.

The policy has been drafted taking account of the nature and complexity of the Company's business, of the social context within which the Company operates, of the experience of the Board in relation to its activities and functioning, including with regard to the committees within the Board, as has also emerged from the self-assessment process.

The policy is particularly intended for those involved in the process of selecting and appointing members of the corporate bodies – i.e. shareholders when appointing the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors, including the presentation of slates; the Board of

11 In addition to indicating the managerial characteristics and professional background considered most appropriate for appointment as an ENAV Director, the aforementioned document, from a general point of view, included indications and recommendations to shareholders with a view to the renewal of the Board of Directors, representing the analysis of the benefits expected from a composition of the governing body. With a view to encouraging the constant comparison between the directors, including from the perspective of diversity, it can count on the presence of Directors of different genders, age groups and seniority and with the appropriate diversification of professional paths, with specific emphasis on: (i) experience in the air transport, infrastructure or transport sectors, gained at executive level (company director or senior roles in business or operational functions) or alternatively in an academic/institutional context; (ii) experience in the legal field, with particular regard to national and international contracts and experience of major corporate transactions, in relation to the opportunities for external business development; (iii) expertise in sustainability and social responsibility issues; (iv) experience in risk management and control systems, with management, accounting and financial expertise; and (v) multi-year experience in corporate governance issues gained on the corporate bodies of listed companies, possibly operating in regulated industries.

Directors and the shareholders, within the scope of their respective duties, in the event it becomes necessary to replace directors mid-term in accordance with Article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code.

Without prejudice to the requirements of professionalism, integrity and independence, as well as the conditions of incompatibility and/or forfeiture defined by law, regulations and by the Company's Articles of Association, the policy seeks to ensure an adequate presence on the Board of Directors and the Board of Auditors of a diverse, complementary range of skill and experience in order to promote dialogue and the efficient functioning of these bodies, with particular regard to:

• experience in the air transport, infrastructure or transport sectors, gained at the executive level (chief executive officer or other senior positions in business or operations functions) or, alternatively, in academia or government service

• experience in the legal field, with particular regard to national and international contracts and experience of major corporate transactions, in relation to the opportunities for external business development

• expertise in sustainability and social responsibility issues

• experience in risk management and control systems, with management, accounting and financial expertise

• multi-year experience in corporate governance issues gained on the corporate bodies of listed companies, possibly operating in regulated industries, so as to be able to enrich the ENAV Board with specific skills.

In referencing the provisions of law, regulations and the Articles of Association concerning gender balance, the policy establishes further diversity criteria and recommends the presence on the corporate bodies of persons with significant professional experience gained abroad and/or in major positions in companies with a high level of international exposure. The policy also recommends ensuring balance between experience, chronological age and tenure in office, and prioritising continuity on the basis of appropriate assessments of individual commitment to Board work.

Finally, taking account of the specific selection criteria required for members of the oversight body, the policy seeks to ensure that those to whom the policy is addressed will take account of any additional facets of diversity that may facilitate the profitable contribution of the oversight body to corporate governance.

3.6. Board of Directors Regulation

On 18 February 2021, the Board of Directors, also taking into account Recommendation No. 11 of the Corporate Governance Code, adopted its own regulation (the "Board of Directors Regulation"), which combines the statutory, self-disciplinary and best practice rules concerning the prerogatives and functioning of the Company's Board of Directors.

In its 16 articles, the Rules of Procedure, inter alia: (i) takes up the statutory content regarding the composition of the Governing Body and appointment of the directors, recalling the self-disciplinary rule of the presence of at least one-third of independent directors, in the light of Recommendation No. 5 of the Code, applicable to ENAV as a large and concentrated property company, as well as establishing a three-year periodicity for the revision of the overboarding policy; (ii) on the basis of statutory provisions and existing arrangements of powers, it highlights the role and powers of the Board in pursuing the sustainable success of the Company; (iii) contains a survey of the prerogatives of the Chair, having regard to the activities of the Board of Directors and those of coordination of the intra-Board committees as well as in the role of guarantee that the Code assigns to the Chair with reference to the adequacy and transparency of the self-evaluation process, with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee; (iv) provides a brief survey of the principles contained in the legal, by-laws and code rules applicable to committees the regulation of which is delegated to their respective regulations; (v) regulates the tasks of the Board of Directors having regard to the periodic evaluation of the independence requirement in charge of its members, also taking into account the predetermined "quantitative" and "qualitative" criteria set in the policy relating to the criteria and procedure for the evaluation of the independence of the directors of ENAV S.p.A. decided on the same date by the Board of Directors; (vi) recalls the legal provisions and formalises certain practices regarding the interests of directors; (vii) in line with Recommendation No. 18 of the Code, regulates the role and tasks of the Secretary of the Board of Directors; (viii) considers the powers of the Lead Independent Director where this figure is appointed on the basis of the provisions of the Code; (ix) carries out a survey of the fundamental role of the Board of Directors in defining, with the support of the Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee, the guidelines of the internal control and risk management system. All this in coordination with the parliamentary figures, and therefore the Director responsible for ICRMS and the Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee; (x) offers a summary of the provisions of the law, the Code and the Articles of Association regarding the rules of operation of the Board of Directors, in order to guarantee the objective set by principle IX of the Code to "ensure an effective management of the information made available to the Board" by means of an orderly and complete flow of information towards the Directors, regulating the ordinary and extraordinary hypotheses of convocation, in addition to the rules of archiving the documentation supporting the discussion and the methods of registration by the Secretary; (xi) incorporates the confidentiality obligations of Directors with regard to information acquired in their role, including, among other things, in accordance with the Company's Guidelines for the Management of Privileged Information, the case studies of information of a relevant or privileged nature; and (xii) regulates the arrangements for the selfassessment process of the Board of Directors, to be carried out at least once every three years, as provided for large companies with limited concentrated ownership by Recommendation no. 22 of the Code.

3.7. Maximum number of positions held in other companies

In accordance with the Articles of Association and with the provisions of the Board of Directors Regulation, Directors of ENAV accept the appointment and remain in office for as long as they believe they can dedicate the necessary time to diligently perform their duties, taking account of both their commitment associated with the work-related and professional activities and the number and nature of the offices they may hold on the management and oversight bodies of listed companies and companies that operate in the financial, banking and insurance sectors or in companies of significant size.

To this end, the Board of Directors issued its guidance on this issue in a policy – available in the "Governance" section of the website www.enav.it, specifying the maximum number of positions as director or member of the board of auditors that is considered to be compatible with the efficient and diligent performance of the office of director with this Company, in line with the recommendations in the Self-governance Code.

The aforementioned policy considers as significant for this purpose only positions held on the management and oversight bodies of the following types of companies ("significant companies"):

  • (i) companies with shares listed on regulated markets, including foreign companies;
  • (ii) other Italian or foreign companies, whose shares are not listed on regulated markets, operating in the financial, banking or insurance sector or having total assets of more than €1,000 million and/or revenues of more than €1,700 million based on their most recent approved financial statements.

The policy, which is also significant in accordance with Recommendation 15 of the Code, specifies the limits on the number of positions that can be held at the same time (measured through a system of specific "weightings" for each type of office), which differ depending on (i) the commitment associated with the position held by each party on the Board of Directors of ENAV or and on the management and oversight bodies of significant companies; and (ii) the nature of the companies with which the other positions are held, excluding from this calculation offices held in direct or indirect subsidiaries or associates of ENAV.

It is also stated that the Chief Executive Officer of ENAV shall not hold the post of director of another issuer not belonging to the same group, whose chief executive officer is a director of ENAV.

The Board of Directors of ENAV may grant reasoned derogations from the aforementioned limits, also due to the characteristics and complexity of the assignment, as occurred at once, on 21 May 2020, when the Board of Directors took office.

The Board of Directors Regulation provides that the policy regarding the maximum number of positions that ENAV Directors can hold is updated at least every three years.

On the date of the Report, on the basis of the communications made by the Directors of the Company, as verified by the Board of Directors upon its appointment and most recently at the meeting on 23 March 2021, the number of positions currently held by the Directors of ENAV on the governing and control bodies of Significant Companies is compatible with the limits set by the policy.

3.8. Induction initiatives

In addition to the general legislative obligation of directors to conduct themselves diligently according to the requirements of the nature of their office and to their specific skills, the Selfgovernance Code and the Corporate Governance Code also recommend that they must be aware of the duties and responsibilities inherent in their office.

With the aim of strengthening the expertise and professionalism of the members of the administration and oversight bodies, Application Criterion 2.C.2 of the Corporate Governance Code provides that "the chair of the Board of Directors shall use his best efforts to allow the directors and the statutory auditors, after the election and during their mandate, to participate, in the ways deemed appropriate, in initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the business sector where the issuer operates, of the corporate dynamics and the relevant evolutions, of the principles of proper risk-management as well as the relevant regulatory and self-regulatory framework". A similar indication is contained in Recommendation No. 12, letter d) of the Corporate Governance Code, to facilitate the contribution of the entire board to the sustainable success of the company.

The competence of directors is not limited to their professional profile, but rather requires attention and constant updating in response to developments in the broad framework of the activity of the enterprise, not only with regard to the business in the narrow sense, but also with regard to developments in the related legislative, regulatory and corporate governance framework12, with the primary objective of constantly enhancing the expertise and professionalism of each director.

The Board of Directors Regulation provides that the Chair of the Board of Directors, with the support of the Secretary, will ensure that all Directors and Statutory Auditors can attend, after appointment and during their mandate, induction initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the sectors of activity in which ENAV operates, the business dynamics and their evolution, including with a view to the sustainable success of the Company as well as the principles of correct risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference; to facilitate attendance at these sessions, the Board of Directors Regulation then provides that at the beginning of the financial year, the Chair of the Board of Directors, with the support of the Secretary, makes available the calendar of induction initiatives related to the current financial year.

During the financial year and until 31 December 2021, 6 induction sessions have been scheduled.

Since taking office, the new Board of Directors has pursued in a structured way a broad, structured induction programme, with the support of management as well as, where appropriate, with the support of leading experts in the fields at issue, to favour to the greatest extent the increase of specific skills and the onboarding of its members, including specific in-depth sessions on strategic issues.

Specifically, from 21 May 2020 until the date of this Report, the following induction sessions have been held concerning: the presentation of financial, operational and procurement activities (23 June 2020); the update on self-regulation as a guide for corporate governance (21 July 2020); the presentation of ENAV's technological infrastructure for flight assistance operations (3 August 2020);

12 Seethe 2020 report on developments in the corporate governance of listed companies – 8 th report on the application of the Self-governance Code of the Corporate Governance Committee.

corporate governance issues, with particular regard to those related to the evolution of the work of the Board of Directors, with a focus on the role of the Chair, Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as the topics of sustainable business development, with gradual matching between strategy and sustainability with a view to a fruitful dialogue with investors (21 October 2020); the presentation of compliance activities in the field of safety flight assistance, security – including cyberrelated aspects, HSE and Risk Management (25 January 2021); the news regarding remuneration resulting from the amendments to the Issuers Regulation introduced by Consob in December 2020 (11 March 2021); and, finally, evolutionary profiles and sustainability governance (22 March 2021).

In the latter regard, it is noted that ENAV has long paid great attention to sustainability issues and, on 17 December 2020, despite the difficulties related to the pandemic, it organised a third edition of Sustainability Day, where, including with the contribution of the Chair of the Board of Directors and the CEO, the actions taken by the Group in the last year were illustrated to all the company's staff and subsidiaries, as were the upcoming initiatives.

The Company also facilitated participation of members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors in training and induction initiatives concerning governance issues in listed companies organised by major institutions and associations.

3.9. Role of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has the leading role for the pursuit of the sustainable success of ENAV and its Group; it is entrusted with the definition of strategies and the monitoring of its implementation, as well as the definition of the most functional corporate governance system to carry out the company business and to pursue its strategies, taking into account the space for autonomy offered by the regulatory system.

The Board of Directors Regulation, adopted by Resolution of the Board of Directors on 18 February 2021, also in compliance with Recommendation No. 11 of the Corporate Governance Code, combines the rules and procedures, from the Articles of Association and of self-governance as well as relating to corporate best practice, which concern the prerogatives of the Board of Directors of ENAV and govern its operation.

Under the provisions of the Articles of Association, the management of the Company is conducted by the directors, who take whatever necessary actions to achieve the corporate purpose.

As specified in the Board of Directors Regulation, the Board of Directors pursues the objective of creating long-term value for the benefit of shareholders taking into account the interests of other stakeholders relevant to the Company; promotes, in the most appropriate forms, dialogue with shareholders and other stakeholders relevant to the company, and to this end adopts, on the proposal of the Chair in agreement with the CEO, a policy for the management of dialogue with the general public, also taking into account the engagement policies adopted by institutional investors and asset managers; defines the nature and level of risk compatible with the Company's strategic objectives, including in its assessments all the elements that can be highlighted with a view to its sustainable success; examines and approves the Company's and the Group's business plan, also on the basis of the analysis of the topics relevant to long-term value generation; periodically monitors the implementation of the business plan and evaluates the general management trend, periodically comparing the results achieved with those planned.

In addition to the powers pertaining to it under the law and under the Articles of Association, to the Board of Directors – according to the structure of powers approved by the Board itself – is reserved exclusively the remit to decide on the most important decisions from an economic and strategic point of view and in terms of structural impact on the management, or functional to the exercise of the monitoring and direction activities of the Company and the Group.

In substantial analogy with the previous set of powers, the Board of Directors, upon its appointment on 21 May 2020, reserved to its remit, on a proposal from the Chief Executive Officer, unless otherwise reported, any decision regarding:

  • a) resolutions regarding the policies and strategies of the Company, as well as strategic transactions;

  • i) the authorisation to enter into active contracts for the sale of assets, works and services, or the submission of binding offers for those purposes, with a value exceeding €6 million for each annual contract and exceeding €20 million for each long-term contract;
  • (j) upon proposal from the Chair, appointment and dismissal of the Director-General and determination of the relevant duties and responsibilities;
  • k) decisions regarding the exercise of shareholder rights inherent in the companies and investee entities and the right to vote in the associated shareholders' meetings, with regard to the major strategic acts under the responsibility of shareholders in accordance with the provisions of law and the Articles of Association of the investee companies;

  • m)the authorisation to approve settlement agreements in litigation or the abandonment of litigation involving the Company abandoning amounts exceeding €3 million.

The Board of Directors also oversees internal control activities.

On the same date, the Board also resolved to grant the Chief Executive Officer a detailed set of powers, setting out the categories of acts and the value thresholds for those acts, and to grant such powers to the Chair, as specified in section 3.13 below.

Having regard to the reservation of Board responsibility for strategic transactions, provided for by Application Criterion 1.C.1, letter (f) of the Self-governance Code13, on 9 August 2017 the Board of Directors decided to adopt the "Procedural guidelines for managing significant transactions" thus delimiting the scope of such significant strategic transactions and setting out procedural guidelines for examining and approving such transactions.

13 Indication now repeated in accordance with Recommendation No. 1, letter (e) of the Corporate Governance Code.

Significant transactions therefore comprise:

  • a) bond issues, including unlisted issues;
  • b) transactions that, while falling within the corporate scope, determine the entry of the Company into new lines of business, i.e. in activities characterised by at least one of the following: (i) activities aimed at selling radically new products or services compared to those already offered, including through significantly innovative technologies; (ii) activities pertaining to a different customer category14 from those currently served. For this purpose, activities of a purely exploratory or preparatory nature are not deemed significant transactions;

3.11. Board evaluation.

The Board of Directors Regulation provides that the Board of Directors, with the investigative support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, where deemed also appointing an independent advisor, ensures to carry out at the frequency deemed appropriate, and in any case at least once every three years, a self-assessment on the functioning of the Board and its Committees as well as on their size and composition, also taking into account elements such as professional, experience, including managerial, and gender characteristics of its members, as well as their seniority in office.

According to best practices, the new Board of Directors, immediately after taking office, initiated the board evaluation process, with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, which was entrusted with the task of assisting the Board with the examination of the methodology presented by the independent advisor Spencer Stuart.

In line with the provisions of the previous Corporate Regulation Code as well as with the current Code, the Board of Directors then carried out the self-assessment of the Board itself and its Committees referring to the financial year 2020, using the selected advisor for co-ordination. The work specifically involved the administration of questionnaires and the conduct of direct interviews with the Directors on the effectiveness, size, composition and functioning of the Board. The results of the initiative were illustrated at a meeting held on 18 February 2020, during which the Board of Directors conducted its own self-assessment, identifying the strengths of the Board and certain areas for improvement, which will represent the starting point for work on the next self-assessment.

Overall, the self-assessment showed a general appreciation for the functioning of the ENAV Board of Directors and for the organisation of the board's work, and satisfaction with the scheduling of meetings, the topics covered, the frequency and duration of the meetings as well as the completeness, adequacy and timeliness of the information flows and the support provided by the Corporate Secretariat, also with regard to the minutes of the sessions. The multiple induction activities and extra-Board information sessions on business and governance issues organised by the Chair and CEO, with the participation of management and consultants, were also appreciated and considered useful. With specific regard to the effectiveness of the activities of the Board of Directors and its Committees in relation to key issues, the constant availability of information about the impacts of the pandemic on staff and business was determined, by means of constant and timely communication from the CEO; as well as the appreciation of the full involvement of the Directors on strategic issues, with a series of in-depth extra-Board sessions aimed at encouraging the sharing of the strategy and collecting individual contributions, and the constant information on management progress.

A largely positive assessment was expressed on the supervision by the Board of Directors, with the support of the Committees, of its responsibilities as a guide in pursuing the sustainable success of the Company, with reference to the issues related to strategic decisions, the risk control and management system, the organisational and accounting structure and compensation, as well as sustainability issues, primarily with regard to the most important ESG issues, which have been identified as safety, environment and interaction with stakeholders.

The board evaluation then made it possible to highlight the fact that the new Board of Directors, the composition of which has largely been renewed compared to the previous term, started its work in the midst of the public health emergency related to the pandemic; this event, which has significantly affected the methods of participation of Directors in the work of the company bodies and as well as more generally on the onboarding phase, which typically accompanies a new Board starting work and is aimed at the mutual knowledge of the Directors and the building of the team. In that regard, the Board considered that, since taking office, it has faced extraordinary challenges with professional diversity and tenure destined to develop in the course of its term of office, effectively carrying out the activity of strategic leadership and guidance in these first few months of its term of office.

Also taking into account the above, the board evaluation identified certain areas of improvement or even consolidation of good practices, related to the continuation of the induction journey, with the sharing of training needs to agree on a structured plan of initiatives that contribute to the strengthening above all of the knowledge of the business and the Company; the continuation of the already carried out course of information sessions on the themes of industrial plan strategies, possibly also with organisation of strategy days; and, as soon as the emergency situation allows, the organisation of social opportunities that favour cohesion, onboarding and the consolidation of interpersonal and team relationships, in order to further promote the growth of the board and the contribution to the Board of individual Directors.

During the self-assessment, the Directors then noted that the examination of the size and composition of the Board of Directors and the Committees confirms the adequacy of the number of Directors and the mix of related competencies, with areas of possible strengthening of industrial expertise, especially in the sector, which will be the subject of further induction sessions.

At both the Board meetings on 26 January 2021 and on 18 February 2020, dedicated to board evaluation, the Board of Directors then examined the recommendations for 2021 contained in the letter sent on 22 December 2020 by the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, together with the Annual Report on the application of the Corporate Governance Code, going further in depth into the areas of criticality and improvement generally represented in the note on the subject and the relative state of implementation with specific regard to the governance of ENAV. At that time, the high degree of compliance by the Company with best governance practices was verified, especially due to the consolidation of sustainability as a fundamental driver of the business, built into the business activity, its strategies and variable incentive systems. For more information on the Board's assessment of these recommendations, please see section 12 of the Report.

With regard to efforts to enhance the skills and capabilities of the Board members and their related objectives, the efforts undertaken by the Board of Directors, both since its appointment and as planned for the future, are described both in this section and in section 3.8 (Induction initiatives) above.

3.12. Chair of the Board of Directors

The Chair of the Board of Directors is Francesca Isgrò, appointed to that position by the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting.

During the Financial year and until the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting, Nicola Maione served as Chair of the Board of Directors, having been appointed by the Board on 8 November 2018; the appointment was confirmed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 26 April 2019.

The Chair calls meetings of the Board of Directors, sets the agenda, coordinates their work and provides the directors and members of the board of auditors with all information regarding the matters to be discussed.

In addition to the powers provided for by law and the Articles of Association concerning the operation of the corporate bodies and legal representation of the Company, the Board of Directors resolved to grant the Chair the following powers:

  • (i) to co-ordinate audit activities, supervising the operations of the relevant departments;
  • (ii) to handle relations with domestic and international institutions, together with the Chief Executive Officer.
  • (iii) to oversee corporate governance, co-ordinating the activities of the Secretariat of the Board of Directors and, thereby, of the Board Committees.

The Chair of the Board of Directors in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer also handles the communications activities of the Company and its relations with the media, both domestic and foreign.

As the Chair of the Board has received no management duties and has no specific role in the definition of the corporate strategies (Application Criterion 2.C.1 of the Corporate Governance Code), the Chair is considered to be a non-executive director.

The Chair therefore has a role of providing impetus and supervision over the functioning of the Board of Directors and to that end, according to the provisions of the Board of Directors Regulation, with the support of the Secretary of the Board of Directors ("Secretary") s/he ensures: (i) that the pre-Board information and complementary information provided during the meetings are suitable to allow directors to act in an informed manner in the performance of their role, making available to them the material and useful information in their possession or received by the CEO and their structures; (ii) that the activities of the Committees be co-ordinated with that of the Board of Directors; (iii) that all Directors and Statutory Auditors may participate, after appointment and during their mandate, in induction initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the sectors of activity in which ENAV operates, the business dynamics and their evolution also with a view to the sustainable success of the Company as well as the principles of correct risk management and the regulatory and self-regulatory framework of reference; (iv) the adequacy and transparency of the self-assessment process of the Board of Directors, with the support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.

The Chair of the Board of Directors, in conjunction with the CEO, then ensures that the Board of Directors is informed, before the first useful meeting, about the development and significant contents of the dialogue with all the shareholders.

The Secretary of the Board of Directors, appointed at the beginning of each financial year on a proposal from the Chair, assists and supports him/her in carrying out his/her activities of coordination of Board work and committees, as well as for induction initiatives and for selfassessment; as required by the Board of Directors Regulation, the Secretary also provides impartial, independent legal assistance and advice to the Directors on their rights, powers, duties and obligations to ensure the regular exercise of the powers pertaining thereto.

When taking office, the Board of Directors assessed that, due to the assignment conferred, Francesca Isgrò retained the status of independence only in accordance with Art. 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, not as referred to in application criterion 3.C.1 of the Self-governance Code in force at the time. Subsequently, during the re-evaluation of the independence requirements by the members of the Board of Directors, carried out on 23 March 2021, taking into account the provisions of law and by-laws, as well as Recommendation No. 7 of the Corporate Governance Code and the policy for the assessment of the independence of the Directors of ENAV, adopted by the Resolution of the Board of Directors of 18 February 2021, the Governing Body assessed that the Chair of the Board of Directors of ENAV has the requirements of independence in accordance with both Art. 148 of the TUF and with the Corporate Governance Code.

3.13. Chief Executive Officer

The CEO of ENAV is Paolo Simioni, who was appointed to this role by the Board of Directors at the time of his installation on 21 May 2020.

During the financial year and until the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting, the role of CEO of ENAV was held by Roberta Neri.

In accordance with Art. 2381, paragraph 5 of the Italian Civil Code and with Art. 18, paragraph 5, of the Articles of Association, the Chief Executive Officer ensures that the organisational and accounting structure is appropriate to the nature and size of the Company.

The Chief Executive Officer is granted all powers for the ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company, including legal representation and sole power of signature before any judicial and administrative authorities as well as the functions and powers that are not otherwise reserved by law, the Articles of Association or other authority to the Board of Directors or granted to the Chair, as discussed, respectively, in sections 3.7 and 3.10 above.

The Chief Executive Officer has also been designated the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system.

The circumstances giving rise to an interlocking directorate envisaged under Application Criterion 2.C.6. of the Corporate Governance Code does not apply with respect to the Chief Executive Officer.

In order to keep the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors constantly updated, the Chief Executive Officer also informs them promptly, and in any case at least quarterly, about the activities carried out, the general course of operations of the Company and their foreseeable developments, and on the main financial operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries. The information is provided both on the occasion of the meetings of the Board of Directors, which always have a specific item on the agenda, and in a report written in conjunction with the Board meetings called to approve the financial reports.

In accordance with Application Criterion 1.C.1 (d) of the Corporate Governance Code, the Chief Executive Officer informs the Board of Directors, at least quarterly and in conjunction with the Board meetings called to approve the financial reports, on the activities carried out in execution of the powers granted. To that end, as required by the Board of Directors Regulation, the Board of Directors establishes the frequency, at least quarterly, at which the CEO provides a report on the exercise of delegations, also identifying, with the support of the Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee at least every three years, the applicable materiality thresholds and the necessary claims.

3.14. Non-executive Directors

With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board is composed entirely of non-executive directors, as none of them, including the Chair, have been assigned individual management responsibilities or specific roles in the development of corporate strategies. The number of nonexecutive directors, their expertise and the time they can devote to the position are such as to ensure that their judgement has a significant influence on Board decisions. Non-executive directors bring their specific professional expertise and experience to Board discussions, enriching them with diverse views and perspectives and encouraging the adoption of thoroughly assessed and considered decisions in line with the Company's interests.

3.15. Independent Directors

As of the date of this Report, 7 ENAV Directors out of 9 can be considered independent under the provisions of the Consolidated Law and the Corporate Governance Code.

In particular, on 21 May 2020 the current Board of Directors, in the occasion of its instituition meeting assessed compliance with the requirements of the law and the Articles of Association, as well as those provided for in the Corporate Governance Code, finding that the Directors Angela Stefania Bergantino, Giuseppe Lorubio, Fabiola Mascardi, Fabio Pammolli, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi met those under Art. 148, paragraph 3, of the Consolidated Law and Principle 3 of the Corporate Governance Code.

Subsequently, the Governing Body once again on 23 March 2021 assessed whether its members fulfilled the independence requirements provided for by law and by the Articles of Association, as well as those provided for in the Corporate Governance Code, also taking into account the said Policy, specifically finding that the Directors Francesca Isgrò, Angela Stefania Bergantino, Giuseppe Lorubio, Fabiola Mascardi, Fabio Pammolli, Carlo Paris and Antonio Santi met those under Art. 148, paragraph 3 of the TUF and Recommendation No. 7 of the Corporate Governance Code.

None of the cases provided for by the self-governance rules as a lack of independence requirements by the Directors has been the subject of non-application by the Board of Directors, which has on the contrary adopted a substantially and more significant vision of evaluation than expressed by the Code.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, as part of its oversight duties, with specific reference to letter cbis) of Art. 149 of the TUF and the self-governance indications, and in compliance with Art. 2.3 of the Board of Statutory Auditors Regulation, verified the correct application of the assessment criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of its members.

The independent Directors met on 16 November 2020 and had the opportunity to exchange their assessments of the operating processes of the Board of Directors and its internal committees. The meeting at issue represented a useful opportunity to focus the value of diversity in the decisionmaking process of the Board of Directors, the contribution of independent directors to the management of the Company, including in light of the current scenario, as well as issues related to the functioning of the Governing Body, particularly appreciated with regard to the organisation, preparation and timing of the dispatch of documentation. The Independent Directors have made useful suggestions with regard to facilitating Board dialogue, even in the specific situation of the pandemic that, in the year of the Board's institution did not allow an immediate and full execution of the typical onboarding activities. In relation to the insights on strategic issues, the Independent Directors, in appreciating the many dedicated sessions, suggested specific focus on the progress of the regulatory structure and any benchmarks on how other European providers are reorienting activities and strategies in light of the discontinuity that has occurred in the air traffic sector.

3.16. Lead Independent Director

ENAV has not appointed any Director as lead independent director, taking into account the fact that, as at the date of the Report, the conditions set out in Recommendation No. 13 of the Corporate Governance Code have not occurred.

The Board of Directors Regulation states that, where appointed in the cases provided for by the Code, the lead independent director favours the fluidity of the Board dialogue, represents a point of reference and co-ordination of the requests and contributions of non-executive Directors and specifically of independent directors and co-ordinates the meetings of the Independent Directors only.

4. COMMITTEES WITHIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As required by the Board of Directors Regulation, the Board of Directors is supported in the exercise of its powers by one or more Committees with investigative, advisory and proactive functions, whose tasks and composition it defines, taking into account the provisions of the Articles of Association, the recommendations of the Code and best governance practice; in any case, the Council establishes, including in a merged form, the Committees responsible for appointments, remuneration, control and risks, related parties as well as sustainability.

The Board of Directors gives the Committees the financial resources at their disposal and determines how they can avail themselves of external consultants.

The Committees meet whenever their respective Chairs deem it appropriate or a request is made to do so by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the CEO, the Lead Independent Director where appointed, or the Board of Statutory Auditors. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may attend the meetings of the Committees, and the Chair of each Committee may invite to individual meetings the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the other Directors and, informing the Chief Executive Officer, the representatives of the company functions competent in the relevant field.

The Chair of each Committee shall coordinate its work and inform the Board of Directors of the activities carried out at the first useful meeting.

The composition, duties and operations of the Committees are governed by specific regulations approved by the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal from the Chair of the Board of Directors, having heard from the Chairs of each Committee. Specifically, by its Resolution of 23 March 2021, the Board of Directors, also in order to take into account the new elements introduced by the Corporate Governance Code, updated the regulations of the intra-Board Committees.

4.1. Remuneration and Appointments Committee

The Board of Directors is supported by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, composed of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent, with consultative and advisory functions on remuneration and appointment matters.

5. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Guidelines of the internal control and risk management system of ENAV and Group entities define the principles, implementing criteria, roles and responsibilities connected with the ICRMS.

The ICRMS of the ENAV Group is composed of a set of tools and organisational units, laws and corporate rules designed to enable the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks and the implementation of controls to ensure achievement of the corporate objectives of:

  • preserving corporate assets;
  • implementing effective and efficient corporate processes;
  • ensuring the reliability of financial reporting;

• complying with the law, regulations, the Articles of Association and internal Company rules. The ICRMS, which reflects the recommendations of the self-governance recommendations and takes account of national and international best practice, is divided into three separate levels of internal control:

"top-level" or
"line controls"
(risk
ownership)
All the control activities that the individual Organisational Structures of the
Group carry out on their processes in order to ensure the correct execution of
the
operations.
These
control
activities
are
entrusted to
the
primary
responsibility of management and are considered an integral part of every
business process. The managers of the individual Organisational Structures are
therefore the primary managers of the internal control and risk management
process. During daily operations, these managers are called upon to identify,
measure, evaluate, manage, monitor and report the risks arising from ordinary
business activity in accordance with the applicable binding rules, regulations
and internal procedures.
"Second-level"
risks
Entrusted to structures for the intended purpose (Integrated Compliance and
Risk Management, Planning and Control) and with autonomy and hierarchical
and functional independence from "first-level" organisational structures, with
specific tasks and responsibilities of control over different areas/types of risk.
The managers of these structures monitor the business risks within their own
specific remits, propose guidelines on the related control systems, verify their
adequacy in order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the control and risk
management operations and support the integration of risks related to their
specific remits.
"Third-level"
risks
Carried out by the Internal Audit Organisational Structure, which provides
independent and objective assurance on the adequacy and effective operation
of first-and second-level controls and, more generally, on ICRMS. The Internal
Audit therefore has the task of verifying the structure and functionality of ICRMS
as a whole, including by means of action to monitor line controls as well as
second-level control activities of both ENAV and the Group.

The main parties involved in the Internal control and risk management system are:

  • the Board of Directors of ENAV and the management bodies of the subsidiaries
  • the Board of Statutory Auditors of ENAV and the oversight bodies of the subsidiaries (where present)
  • The Director responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System
  • the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee
  • ENAV's Supervisory Body and those of the subsidiaries (where present)
  • the magistrate designated by Court of Auditors
  • the Remuneration and Appointments Committee
  • the Sustainability Committee
  • the Financial Reporting Officer, the Integrated Compliance and Risk Management and Planning and Control units

  • the Internal Audit Department

  • the risk owners

The following chart provides an overview of the actors in the ICRMS of the ENAV Group, showing the architecture based on the three levels of control.

To ensure maximum coordination between the different components of the control system, the governance arrangements of ENAV establish that:

• the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors or other appointed standing member is to be invited to meetings of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee;

• the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee report to the Board of Directors at least twice per year in conjunction with approval of the half-year and annual reports on activities conducted and on the adequacy of the ICRMS;

  • the CEO reports periodically to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and/or the Board of Directors regarding any problems or critical issues that have emerged in the performance of her duties, or that were otherwise brought to her attention, so that the Committee and/or the Board of Directors may take the necessary measures;
  • the magistrate designated by the Court of Auditors to monitor the Company shall participate in meetings of the corporate bodies;
  • the Supervisory Body shall report at least once per year to the Board of Directors regarding activities conducted and on any need to adjust controls for the prevention of crime in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/01;
  • the Internal Audit department shall, at least once per year, submit the audit plan based on a structured process of analysis and prioritisation of the main risks for approval by the Board of Directors;
  • the Internal Audit Organisational Structure shall submit its periodic reports and those on events of particular relevance to the chairpersons of the Board of Statutory Auditors, of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, and of the Board of Directors, as well as to the CEO and the Director responsible for their remit.

5.1. The Director responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System

The Chief Executive Officer is the director responsible for supervising the operation of the internal control and risk management system (the "Director in Charge"), with the duties referred to in Application Criterion 7.C.4 of the Corporate Governance Code.

In accordance with the IRCMS Guidelines in force, the Director in Charge provides for:

5.3. Control system for Risk and Financial Reporting

The ENAV Group's control system for financial reporting, which is an integral part of the broader ICRMS, seeks to ensure the reliability, accuracy, fidelity and timeliness of financial reporting.

The structure of the financial reporting control system (FRCS) is defined consistently with the "Internal Controls – Integrated Framework" model of the "Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission", which is an international benchmark in relation to which each component of the ENAV internal control system is established, maintained and evaluated.

The responsibility for implementing and maintaining an appropriate FRCS is assigned to the Financial Reporting Officer, for the drafting of the ENAV corporate accounting documents, governed by Art. 154-bis of the TUF and provided for in Art. 18-bis of the Articles of Association as of 2007.

The principles and methods adopted by the Manager Responsible in the financial year for his remit, as well as the duties of the staff involved in various roles in the maintenance and monitoring of the FRCS are set out in the "Guidelines for the assessment of the FRCS".

The FRCS is established, maintained and evaluated through a structured process that includes the following phases:

  • a. definition of the scope of the companies and significant processes (scoping). The Financial Reporting Officer of ENAV identifies the companies which are significant within the FRCS, using a top-down and risk-based approach, in order to ensure adequate monitoring of the areas most exposed to the risk of significant unintentional errors or fraud in the financial statements. The identification of significant companies from a quantitative point of view is carried out on the basis of the contribution of the different entities to the formation of the quantities of the Consolidated Financial Statements, determined on the basis of materiality thresholds calculated with reference, respectively, to the following values: Total Assets, Total Net Revenues, Economic Profit before Taxes. Companies that do not exceed these values, but still present a potential risk in financial reporting, can be considered significant from a qualitative point of view. Within those companies, significant processes are identified, i.e. those processes which produce significant items in the financial statement that exceed a preset threshold, or are deemed as such in consideration of qualitative aspects (risky processes not connected to significant accounts due to the complexity of their accounting or the evaluation or estimation processes);
  • b. analysis and evaluation of entity-level controls (ELC). Entity-level controls provide for Company-Level Control (CLC, defined as the structured group of processes and controls operating across the ENAV organisation to guide, define and monitor the design and operation of the overall FRCS). The ENAV CLC structure takes into account updates to the reference framework (CoSO Report) and best practices of listed companies. The IT General Control, which regards the infrastructure and interdepartmental processes of Group companies, and the Application Control, which regards the various applications supporting business processes, are an integral part of the internal control system;
  • c. analysis and evaluation of controls at the process level and identification of key controls, i.e. controls that have the most relevance for the purpose of proper financial reporting. The processes supporting the financial disclosure included in the scope are subject to mapping and constant updating. The structure of controls at process level provides for specific and monitoring controls, understood as all activities, manual or automated, aimed at preventing, detecting and correcting errors or irregularities that occur in the performance of operational activities; among the structural elements that support proper operations and the related control, segregation of duties (SOD) plays an important role, which aims to ensure the segregation of incompatible business roles and solve critical issues and conflicts within IT profiles, resolving processes and IT systems relevant to financial reporting.
  • d. monitoring of control operations. The Financial Reporting Officer in the performance its own assessment activities makes use of independent monitoring, carried out on all key controls by an external company, and possibly, the results of the analyses of the other stakeholders involved in the management of business risks, by means of pre-established information flows. The activities of verifying the proper functioning of the controls are carried out according to criteria agreed with the Manager Responsible.
  • e. evaluation of any deficiencies, approval and monitoring of remedial actions and updating of administrative and accounting procedures. The results of the checks are summarised in a special report that also includes an assessment of the main shortcomings found, followed by the related corrective actions to enable the objectives of reliability, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of the information to be achieved. Following the evidence that has also emerged

in relation to specific Audits, or any changes reported by the process owners or organisational changes that have occurred, the Manager Responsible updates or if necessary prepares the related administrative and accounting procedures and publishes them on the company intranet, subject to sharing with the same process owners.

f. release of the certification of the financial statements and the report on operations by the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Officer. Based on the consolidation of the results obtained and the overall evaluation of the financial reporting control system, the Financial Reporting Officer and the Chief Executive Officer issue a certification on the effectiveness and operation of administrative and accounting procedures and the fidelity and accuracy of financial reporting. The certification for the separate financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and the semi-annual interim financial statements, together with the associated reports on operations, is also supported by a flow of internal certification letters issued by the managers of the corporate functions of ENAV involved in preparing the financial statements and by the subsidiaries.

5.4. Audit Firm

In accordance with the provisions of Article 18-bis of the Articles of Association, the Financial Reporting Officer was selected on the basis of criteria for professionalism and expertise from among executives with at least three years' experience in administrative duties in companies, or at consulting or professional firms.

As part of its responsibilities, aimed at ensuring the correct drafting of documents and accounting information, the Financial Reporting Officer is entrusted with the task of defining the structure of the controls and of monitoring their operations, including with regard to the significant processes of the subsidiaries that fall within the scope of consolidation.

The Financial Reporting Officer, together with the Chief Executive Officer, certifies with a report on the separate financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and condensed semiannual financial statements:

a) the appropriateness and effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures during the period to which the documents refer;

b) that the documents have been prepared in compliance with applicable international accounting standards recognised in the European Union in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 July 2002;

c) that the documents are consistent with the books and other accounting records;

d) that the documents provide a true and fair view of the performance and financial position of the Company and the companies included in the scope of consolidation;

e) for the separate and consolidated financial statements, that the report on operations contains a reliable analysis of operations and performance, as well as the situation of the Company and the companies included in the scope of consolidation, together with a description of the main risks and uncertainties to which it is exposed;

f) for the condensed semi-annual financial statements, that the interim report on operations includes a reliable analysis of the information referred to in paragraph 4 of Article 154-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance.

In order to facilitate the flow of information, the Financial Reporting Officer participates in the meetings of the Board of Directors when the agenda contains issues that affect the performance and financial position of the Company or the Group and can access all the documents and resolutions of the corporate bodies that affect the Company's performance and financial position.

In accordance with Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, on 20 April 2021 the Board of Directors verified the adequacy of the powers and resources available to the Financial Reporting Officer to perform the duties assigned and compliance with the related administrative and accounting procedures.

The duties and responsibilities of the Financial Reporting Officer and the powers and resources granted to that officer are governed in detail by specific rules, regularly updated by the Financial Reporting Officer in concert with the director in charge of the internal control and risk management system. The rules were approved by the Board of Directors of ENAV on 12 March 2018.

As at the date of this Report, incentive mechanisms were in place for the Chief Financial Officer, who also acts as the Director responsible, consistent with the tasks assigned. Specifically, the incentive and remuneration policies thereof, which acts as the Manager with Strategic Responsibility, are divided into fixed and variable components, the latter both medium and longterm, taking into account market benchmarks based on a methodology of weighing organisational roles, periodically certified by an external company, and in accordance with the provisions of the remuneration policy, adopted and managed in accordance with the legal and self-governance indications, as set out in section 6 below.

5.6. Control by the Court of Auditors

The Company is subject to the auditing of its financial statements and assets by the Court of Auditors, which reports annually to the Italian Parliament in accordance with Article 12 of Law No. 259 of 21 March 1958, on the legitimacy and regularity of operations and the functioning of internal controls.

The magistrate designated to audit the Company is invited to attend all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

In the financial year, the function of magistrate delegated by the Court of Auditors was performed by Mauro Orefice.

On 15 December 2020, the "Report on the findings of the audit of the financial management of ENAV for the financial year 2019" was issued. The said Report is published on the Company's website in the "Governance" section.

6. REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGERS WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board of Directors reviews the Remuneration Report in accordance with Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the first section of which is dedicated to the Remuneration Policy for directors and managers with strategic responsibilities adopted by the Company while the second reports the remuneration actually paid. As of the date of this Report, ENAV managers with strategic responsibilities are the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Technology Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Human Resources and Corporate Services Officer.

As noted, Legislative Decree No. 49 of 10 June 2019 transposed the SHRD II directive, while also amending Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance. In light of these changes, the first section of the report describing remuneration policy is now subject to the binding vote of the shareholders, whereas the second section is subject to an advisory vote. Taking account of these legislative changes and of the trends in the new Corporate Governance Code, the remuneration policy drafted by the Company seeks – in essential continuity with the past – to make an even more decisive contribution to company strategy and to the pursuit of sustainability and the long-term interests of the Company.

Taking into account the impacts of the pandemic on the economy and sector in which the Company operates, in line with the practice adopted by multiple issuers, the CEO and management of ENAV have decided to waive 50% of the short-term variable remuneration in their favour; for the illustration of the remuneration policy adopted by ENAV and for information on the remuneration paid to the Directors, Statutory Auditors and management, in addition to the information in this Report, see the Report on remuneration policy and remuneration paid drafted by the Company in accordance with Art. 123-ter of the TUF, as approved, following review of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee by the Board of Directors on 20 April 2021, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements relating to the financial year. The said report is published in the "Governance" section – "2021 Shareholders' Meeting" – at www.enav.it.

7. BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

7.1. Appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors

In accordance with Art. 21 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Meeting appoints the Board of Statutory Auditors, which is comprised of three standing auditors from among whom its Chair is elected, and two alternate auditors. The composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors must comply with the applicable laws and regulations regarding gender balance, where applicable.

If during the term one or more standing auditors are no longer available, the alternate auditors will replace them in the order that will ensure compliance with the laws and regulations regarding gender balance.

Statutory auditors will serve a three-year term, which shall expire on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements of the third financial year of their term of office. Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are selected from among those that meet the professionalism and integrity requirements under the applicable laws and regulations. The following matters are deemed closely related to the Company's scope of activities: matters relating to commercial and tax law, business administration and corporate finance, matters and sectors of activity involving communications, telematics and IT, banking, financial and insurance operations.

As regards the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the applicable laws and regulations govern causes of ineligibility and limitations on the number of administrative or control offices that can be held at one time by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Standing and alternate auditors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting based on slates submitted by shareholders, in which the candidates must be listed in consecutive order and the number of candidates proposed must not exceed the number of members to be elected. Only shareholders who alone or together with other shareholders represent at least 2.5% of the share capital, or any other amount established by Consob through its regulation for the appointment of the management and oversight bodies, are entitled to submit slates for the appointment of the Board of Auditors (most recently, see the said Managerial Decision No. 44 of 29 January 2021). The curriculum vitae of each candidate must be submitted together with each slate, upon penalty of inadmissibility, as must the statements with which the individual candidates accept their candidacy and certify, under their responsibility, that there are no causes for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that they meet the integrity, professionalism and independence requirements prescribed by the applicable laws.

Appointed standing auditors must notify the Company without delay if they no longer meet any of these requirements, as well as any supervening causes of ineligibility or incompatibility.

Each person entitled to vote may vote for only one slate.

The presentation, filing and publication of the slates is governed by the provisions of applicable law.

The slates shall contain two sections: one for candidates for the office of standing auditor and the other for candidates for the office of alternate auditor. At least the first candidates for each section must be registered with the Register of Auditors and have worked as an auditor for no less than three years.

Two standing auditors and one alternate auditor will be drawn from the slate that obtained the largest number of votes, based on the consecutive order in which they are includes in the sections of the slate. The remaining standing auditor and remaining alternate auditor are appointed in accordance with the applicable regulations and with the terms set forth under Art. 11-bis.3, b) of the Articles of Association, applicable separately to each of the sections in which the other slates are divided.

For the appointment of members of the board of auditors who for any reason are not elected based on slates, the Shareholders' Meeting shall resolve with the majorities required by law and without observing the procedure indicated above, but in any case in such a manner as to ensure that the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors is compliant with applicable legislation, regulations and administrative provisions, while respecting the principle of minority representation and the applicable laws on gender balance.

In this regard, it should be recalled that, following Law No. 160 of 27 December 2019 ("Budget Law 2020"), amendments were made to Articles 147-ter, paragraph 1-ter, and 148, paragraph 1-bis of the TUF, introduced by Law No. 120 of 12 July 2011 (the "Golfo-Mosca Law"), concerning gender balance in the bodies of listed companies; this means that at least two-fifths of the body is reserved for the under-represented gender and that this allocation criterion applies for six consecutive terms. Consequently, Consob amended the Issuers' Regulation, with specific regard where concerned to Art. 144-undecies(1) of the Issuers Regulation. Paragraph 3 of that provision, confirming what was originally interpretatively communicated by the Authority at the time of first application and pending public consultation for amendments to the Rules of Procedure, provides that "where the application of the gender distribution criterion does not result in a whole number of members of the administrative or supervisory bodies belonging to the under-represented gender, that number shall be rounded up to the higher unit, with the exception of corporate bodies formed by three members, for which rounding applies to the lower unit." Given that, in accordance with Article 21 of ENAV's Articles of Association, the ENAV Board of Statutory Auditors has three standing auditors and two alternates, the standard at issue shall apply.

The standing auditor appointed in accordance with Article 11-bis.3, b) of the Articles of Association shall assume the chairmanship of the Board of Statutory Auditors. In the event of replacement of the Chair, this office shall be assumed by the alternate auditor who has also been appointed in accordance with Art. 11-bis.3, letter b) of the Articles of Association.

If one of the auditors selected from the slate with the largest number of votes is replaced, he will be replaced by the first of the alternate auditors selected from that slate. If the replacement does not enable the re-establishment of a Board of Statutory Auditors that is compliant with the applicable laws on gender balance, the second of the alternate auditors selected from that same slate shall take over. If it becomes necessary to subsequently replace the other auditor selected from the slate with the largest number of votes, that auditor will be replaced by the other alternate auditor selected from that slate.

The auditors may carry out inspections and audits at any time, either individually or as a group.

The Board of Statutory Auditors monitors compliance with the law, regulations and the Articles of Association, with the principles of sound management and particularly the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting arrangements adopted by the Company and its effective operation, as well as the adequacy and functionality of the overall risk management and control system. The Board of Auditors is an integral part of the overall internal control and risk management system. The Board of Auditors may request that the directors provide information on corporate operations or specific business.

7.2. Composition and operation of the Board of Statutory Auditors

The Board of Statutory Auditors of ENAV consists of the current Statutory Auditors Dario Righetti, as Chair, Franca Brusco and Pierumberto Spanò, as well as Alternate Auditors Roberto Cassader and Francesca Parente, all appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 26 April 2019.

10. OTHER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

10.1. Directors' Interests and Related-Party Transactions

The Company approves transactions with related parties in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and regulations, the provisions of its Articles of Association and the procedures adopted in this regard.

The "Procedure governing transactions with related parties" (the "RPT Procedure"), adopted in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, and in particular Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and Article 4 of the Related Parties Regulation, was most recently updated by the ENAV Board of Directors, having obtained the opinion of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, on 12 December 2018.

The Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee is also tasked, in accordance with its Rules, with operating as the committee for related party transactions, performing the functions envisaged in the Related Parties Rules the RPT Procedure.

The RPT Procedure determines the criteria and procedures for identifying and mapping the related parties of the Company as well as the quantitative criteria for identifying transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV, either directly or through its subsidiaries, trustees or persons interposed, of minor or major relevance, respectively, by regulating the investigation and approval process, in order to ensure transparency and substantial as well as procedural correctness of the same operations.

In particular, the RPT Procedure distinguishes between:

  • low-value transactions: transactions with related parties with a value not exceeding €200,000 if concluded with natural persons and €600,000 if concluded with legal persons, provided they do not contain risks for investors that are connected to the characteristics of the transaction itself and provided that these transaction do not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, having regard to their size);
  • transactions of greater importance: transactions with related parties for which at least one of the materiality indicators set forth in the RPT Procedure, applicable in relation to the specific transaction, exceeds the 5% threshold, and transactions, even if lower than the above thresholds, that have a strategic value that is significant or affects the operating independence of the Company or of its subsidiaries;

In accordance with the provisions of Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Related Parties Regulation, under the RPT Procedure the threshold qualifying a transaction as of greater importance may also be exceeded as a result of the accumulation of multiple transactions of lesser importance (as defined below).

For the purposes of applying this accumulation, such transactions must be:

  • (i) of an amount greater than the low-value threshold and smaller than the greater importance threshold;
  • (ii) carried out during the same financial year;
  • (iii) entered into with the same related party;
  • (iv) not included among the exemptions provided for under the RPT Procedure;
  • (v) uniform and/or carried out as part of a unified plan, and therefore linked by their nature and characteristics or the purposes for which they were carried out. To that end, the transactions carried out by subsidiaries, domestic or otherwise, trustees or intermediaries shall also be considered.

If the above conditions are met, the value of individual transactions (as defined in point (i) above) is aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the greater importance threshold has been exceeded, which would trigger the related investigation and approval process and the reporting obligations provided for under applicable regulations.

• transactions of lesser importance: transactions with related parties other than transactions of greater importance and low-value transactions;

• ordinary transactions concluded on standard market conditions: transactions that form part of the ordinary operations of the Company and its connected financial activities which are concluded at arm's length on the conditions usually applied for transactions of corresponding size and risk, or which are based on regulated rates or prices that are imposed or applied to individuals/entities with whom ENAV (or the companies that it directly or indirectly controls) is required by law to contract at a specific price.

The RPT Procedure does not apply to certain types of transactions, even if concluded with related parties of the Company, including in particular:

  • a) Low-Value Transactions;
  • b) resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting concerning remuneration payable to the Board of Directors in accordance with Art. 2389, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code;
  • c) resolutions regarding the remuneration of Directors with particular duties which fall under the total amount set by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Art. 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code;
  • d) resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting regarding remuneration payable to the Board of Auditors, in accordance with Art. 2402 of the Italian Civil Code.

The following are also exempt from application of the RPT Procedure, without prejudice to the disclosure obligations provided for in that procedure or the Related Parties Regulation:

  • a) remuneration plans based on financial instruments approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the associated transactions implementing the plans;
  • b) resolutions regarding the remuneration of directors and board members vested with particular duties as well as managers with strategic responsibilities, provided that:
  • c) Control and Risk and Related Parties the Ordinary Transactions concluded under conditions equivalent to market or standard terms, without prejudice to the reporting obligations provided for by law.
  • d) transactions with or between ENAV subsidiaries, even jointly, and transactions with ENAV associated companies, provided that other related parties of the Company have no significant interests in the subsidiaries or associated companies involved in the transaction.

A central role in the architecture of the RPT Procedure is played by the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, which is required to provide the authorising body – the Board of Directors or any other competent delegated body – a reasoned opinion assessing the Company's interest in completing the transaction as well as its beneficial nature and the substantive fairness of the related conditions. In order to enable the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee to issue the required opinions, the RPT Procedure establishes specific information flows, which in the case of transactions of greater importance include the negotiation stage, during which Committee members may formulate comments or request additional information.

In terms of its effectiveness, the required opinion is:

  • not binding in the case of transactions of lesser importance. However, if the opinion is unfavourable, within 15 days of the end of each quarter of the financial year, the Company shall provide the public a document specifying, for each such transaction, the counterparty, the purpose and the amount of the transactions approved in the quarter, indicating the reasons why it did not agree with that opinion. By the same deadline, the opinion shall be made available to the public as an annex to the document cited above;
  • binding in the case of transactions of greater importance. If the opinion is unfavourable, the Company's Board of Directors may submit transactions of greater importance for authorisation to the Shareholders' Meeting. In this case, without prejudice to compliance with the quorum required for establishment and resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting and save as otherwise provided for by the Articles of Association or required by law, the transactions of greater importance may not be carried out if the majority of the non-related shareholders with voting rights vote against approval of the transaction, provided that the

latter shareholders represent at least 10% of the share capital with voting rights at the Meeting.

A simplified procedure is provided for where approval is a matter of urgency, in derogation from the procedures governing transactions of lesser and greater importance, provided that such transactions do not fall under the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting, notwithstanding in any case the provision for of a non-binding vote on such transactions expressed ex post by the first subsequent ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, the Board of Directors, the Board of Auditors and the Financial Reporting Officer receive complete disclosure on at least a quarterly basis on the execution of transactions with related parties of both lesser and greater importance. In compliance with the requirements of the Related Parties Regulation, the RPT Procedure also governs the public disclosure of transactions with related parties carried out by ENAV and its subsidiaries.

Having regard to the provisions of Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code, on the occasion of each meeting of the ENAV Board of Directors, the directors are invited to declare at the opening of the proceedings whether they have any interest connected with the items on the agenda.

Taking into account Legislative Decree No. 49 of 10 June 2019, transposing the SHRD II and which introduced, inter alia, significant legislative changes in the area of related-party transactions, assigning responsibility to Consob for implementation of the new provisions, the Company constantly monitors the legislative and regulatory framework in order to make timely adjustments to the organisation's related-party practices and the RPT Procedure.

The RPT Procedure is available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.

10.2. Guidelines concerning the market abuse regulation and internal dealing procedures

The Company adopts and constantly updates its controls regarding the internal management and external dissemination of documentation and information concerning ENAV and its subsidiaries, with particular reference to the inside information referred to in Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 (the "MAR Regulation") or information that is likely to become such.

The rules and principles contained in the Guidelines for the management of inside information (the "MAR Guidelines"), are aimed at ensuring compliance with the provisions of applicable market abuse17 laws and regulations and ensuring preservation of the maximum confidentiality of information that already qualifies as inside information or is otherwise likely to become such information, in order to prevent the selective dissemination of documentation and information concerning ENAV and the Group, such as advance release to certain parties, or delayed, incomplete or otherwise inadequate dissemination.

The MAR Guidelines therefore represent a updated, comprehensive body of rules, governing, among other things, the handling of price sensitive or significant information, the maintenance of the insider register and the register of significant information, the procedure for delaying the dissemination of inside information and information flows within the company organisation and with subsidiaries in this area.

The MAR Guidelines, which are a fundamental component of the Company's ICRMS and an integral part of the overall system for preventing the offences referred to in Legislative Decree 231/2001, are available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.

The Internal Dealing Procedure, most recently updated with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 15 May 2019, governs the disclosure obligations and the limitations on transactions involving financial instruments issued by the Company, or derivative instruments or other financial

17 The MAR guidelines take account of: (i) the MAR and subsequent delegated and implementing regulations; (ii) the applicable provisions of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the Consolidated Law on Finance); and (iii) the recommendations of the Consob guidelines for handling inside information, published on 13 October 2017.

instruments linked thereto, where carried out by relevant persons and persons closely associated with them.

The Company has also adopted a code of conduct for significant shareholders (the "Internal Dealing Code"), most recently updated with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 13 November 2018, relating to transactions involving financial instruments issued by ENAV, or derivative instruments or other financial instruments linked thereto, where carried out by significant shareholders (i.e., those holding at least 10% of the capital of ENAV) and persons closely associated with them.

The Internal Dealing Procedure and the Internal Dealing Code are available on the Company's website at www.enav.it.

10.3. Compliance: Organisational Model in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001, Code of Ethics, whistleblowing and for fighting corruption

The Company adopts compliance measures in respect of anti-corruption legislation, inspired by the principles of international standards and market best practices, and constantly monitors the effectiveness thereof. The essential principles of this compliance programme are set out below.

The Organisational Model under Legislative Decree No. 231 of 2001

In compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 231 of 8 June 2001 ("Decree 231"), which introduced a system of administrative liability into the Italian legal system for companies for certain types of offences committed by their directors, managers or employees in the interest of or for the advantage of the companies themselves, the Company has adopted the organisational, management and control model referred to in the Legislative Decree of 2001 (the "Organisational Model").

The ENAV Organisational Model18 in force on the date of this Report, last updated – in one with the Group Code of Ethics – by the Resolution of the Board of Directors of 22 December 2020, is divided into a general part and a special part, the latter divided into sections relating to the categories of offence provided for by Decree 231.

In accordance with Decree 231, the Supervisory Body is tasked with supervising the functioning and compliance with the Organisational Model and the Code of Ethics, as well as to update it with regard to the evolution of the organisational structure or the regulatory context of reference. The Supervisory Body in office was appointed on 27 May 2019 and consists of two external members, Maurizio Bortolotto (Chair) and Luisa Nasoni, and one internal member, the acting Internal Audit Officer. The Supervisory Body will remain in office until approval of the financial statements for 2021 and, in any event, until appointment of a new Supervisory Body. The Supervisory Body, supported in its activities by Internal Audit, takes care of the constant updating of the Organisational Model, monitors the effectiveness of the ongoing prevention and control system, as well as the preventive and corrective actions suggested, verifies the adequacy of the pre-verified crime prevention system and constantly takes care of the training to comply with Decree 231.

In the period, the Supervisory Body of ENAV held 12 meetings and performed the activities summarised below:

  • examination of the findings of targeted audits and of the planned improvement actions defined and monitoring of progress;
  • examination of the information flows through internal procedures;
  • examination of reports received by the Supervisory Body and checks of those concerning issues addressed by Decree 231;

18 The general part of the Organisational Model of ENAV – and its subsidiaries – is available on the Company's website at www.enav.it, as is the Group Code of Ethics.

  • preparation of the annual plan of Supervisory Body activities, and the budget request;
  • annual report to the Board of Directors;
  • meetings with the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as with the supervisory bodies of the subsidiaries, to exchange information on the internal control and risk management system.

For 2021, the ENAV Supervisory Body has planned 12 meetings, 3 of which had already been held as of the date of this Report. The meetings of the Supervisory Body have all been regularly minuted and the minutes are kept by Internal Audit.

The Code of Ethics

The ENAV Group Code of Ethics ("Code of Ethics")19 governs the rights, duties and responsibilities that ENAV and the Group companies assume towards the stakeholders with whom they find themselves interacting for the performance of their activities, and is applied to corporate bodies, management, employees, external collaborators, business partners, suppliers and all those who have relations with the Company.

The adoption of certain principles of conduct and ethical standards to be observed in interactions with third parties is part of the Company's commitment, including in relation to preventing the offences referred to in Decree 231, and the prevention of corruption and fraud. In that sense, the Code of Ethics forms an integral part of the Organisational Model. Upon the update of the Organisational Model made by the Resolution of the Board of Directors of 22 December 2020, the Code of Ethics was also updated with particular reference to ESG themes, also in the light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and to include principles of diversity and protection of equal opportunities as well as the principles of protection and promotion of human rights, provided for by the applicable internal policies.

The Code of Ethics adheres to the principles of the "Code of Conduct of Public Employees" referred to in Presidential Decree No. 62 of 16 April 2013 – intended to ensure compliance with the constitutional duties of diligence, loyalty, impartiality and exclusive service in the name of the public interest – and recognises the following principles and fundamental values for the affirmation of the Company's mission, which the various stakeholders must refer to in order to foster the good operation, reliability and reputation of the Company: rule of law, safety, confidentiality, honesty and propriety, responsibility, equality, Integrity, transparency, equity and sustainability.

The rules of the Code of Ethics constitute an essential part of employee contractual obligations in accordance with Art. 2104 of the Italian Civil Code and the Company evaluates from a disciplinary point of view, in accordance with current legislation, conduct contrary to the principles enshrined in the Code of Ethics by applying the sanctions justified by the varying severity of the facts.

Code of conduct for fighting corruption

The ENAV Group founds its action on broader compliance with the anti-corruption rules set out in national and international law and as a result opposes and does not tolerate in any way bribery, fraudulent behaviour or illicit or irregular conduct in general that may be actively or passively committed by its employees or third parties such as contractors, consultants, suppliers, commercial partners, agents and other individuals, legal entities and de facto entities that have relations with ENAV or its subsidiaries.

In compliance with the aforementioned principle of "zero tolerance" towards corruption and in the context of the activity of raising awareness and disseminating these rules and principles, in addition

19Together with the Organisational Model, The Code of Ethics is available to the public on the Company's website at www.enav.it.

to the additional governance and compliance safeguards, ENAV adopts the code of conduct for the fight against corruption (hereinafter "the Anti-Corruption Code") aligned with the best international practices and standards and applicable to the Group companies.

The Anti-Corruption Code is part of a comprehensive body of internal regulation consisting, in addition to the Organisational Model and Code of Ethics, of policies, procedures, guidelines, rules and provisions of the Management System that govern in detail the individual areas of action, which ENAV staff must comply with. The Anti-Corruption Code, which provides guidance on ethical and behavioural issues and is applied in conjunction with this body of rules, is intended to:

  • indicate the activities most exposed to acts of corruption identified by ENAV on the basis of an assessment of the risk associated with the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries;
  • specify the principles for identifying and preventing potential acts of corruption, safeguarding the integrity and reputation of the Group;
  • provide general information to employees on prohibited conduct;
  • identify employees' duties;
  • identify the penalties applicable in the event of breach of the related precepts.

In accordance with the Anti-Corruption Code, which also refers to the whistleblowing rules, employees (and more generally, all others subject to its provisions) shall report to Internal Audit and the Supervisory Body, by means of the whistleblowing system, any action potentially in violation of the above legislation of which they may become aware.

Whistleblowing

The Company uses a computer system for the reporting of alleged wrongdoing, to ensure, in accordance with Law 179/2017, the confidentiality of the whistleblower, and specifies the whistleblowing regulations in detail. Reports received via whistleblowing channels are assessed by the relevant departments. Those considered to be important are analysed further by means of checks.

11. CHANGES AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE

No further changes occurred after the close of the year.

12. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LETTER OF 22 DECEMBER 2020 FROM THE CHAIR OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

On 22 December 2020, the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, consisting of the business associations ABI, ANIA, Assonime, Confindustria and professional investors (Assogestioni), as well as Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the "Corporate Governance Committee"), in its exercise of the prerogatives entrusted thereto by the Corporate Governance Code and, since 1 January 2021, by the Corporate Governance Code, sent to the Chairs of the governing and supervisory bodies and to the CEOs of the Italian listed companies a letter referring to certain areas of corporate governance, with certain indications aimed at better adherence of the issuers themselves to the recommendations of self-regulation, also as a result of the monitoring carried out by the Corporate Governance Committee and contained in the Annual Report on the application of the Corporate Governance Code, attached to the aforementioned letter (the "Report").

As a rule, the Report describes the results of monitoring the practices put in place by issuers following the recommendations made last year. The survey on the actual evaluation of the 2019 recommendations and the related initiatives taken by listed companies primarily denotes the consolidation of attention on the subject.

With regard to the concrete areas of past recommendations, the following can be noted:

i) in relation to the need for greater integration of the sustainability of the business into the definition of remuneration strategies and policy, in view of the centrality of sustainable success in the new edition of the Code, the Committee assessed the effects of this recommendation mainly in relation to the timing of remuneration policies and the parameters used for the definition of the variable components envisaged in favour of executive directors, noting a substantial change of pace and an increase in the attention of companies on the subject, with the adoption of non-financial criteria in medium- and long-term incentive systems;

ii) with regard to the scope of the adequacy and completeness of Board information flows, the Committee assesses the still-unsatisfactory governance arrangements in almost two-thirds of cases, with specific regard to the failure to indicate deadlines for sending pre-Board documentation;

iii) with regard to the central theme of the independence of the Directors and the processes adopted by the boards of directors of the Italian issuers for the assessment thereof, the Committee confirms the trend of progressive improvement, with the gradual reduction of risk situations, while noting that it remains rare, albeit with a slightly rising trend, to disclose information about the quantitative and /or qualitative criteria used for the evaluation of the significance of the reports, the use of which it considers functional to the proper application of the independence criteria;

iv) finally, with regard to the remuneration of the non-executive Directors and members of the supervisory body, the Committee notes the gradual trend towards greater appreciation of the competencies, professionalism and commitment required by their duties.

Over the year, as in previous ones, the governance of ENAV is in full compliance with the aforementioned recommendations, in addition to the other subject of the self-regulatory indications.

This is also confirmed with regard to the new recommendations that the Committee, in view of the applicability of the new edition of the Code, has decided to formulate, reconsidering all the recommendations provided in the last four years and in order to provide specific indications aimed at facilitating improved acceptance of the most innovative aspects of the Corporate Governance Code.

  1. Sustainability ""The Committee invites the management bodies to integrate the sustainability of the business activity into the definition of strategies and remuneration policies, also on the basis of an analysis of the relevance of the factors that may affect long-term value generation".

The theme, to which self-governance has conferred an increasing importance over time, following market trends, is further confirmed in the new edition of the Code. The sustainable success of the Company is at the heart of the tasks of the Boards of Directors, which will be increasingly committed to making the businesses less risky and more profitable, courtesy of an integrated and long-term vision that evaluates the impact of the business activity and its risks in all respects, and which results in a reasonable balance between value creation and the interests of all stakeholders. The pandemic has helped to give further impetus to a reflection on sustainability and how economic development must take into account environmental and social issues, with technological innovation acting as the main driver of this objective. Sustainability is transversal with respect to multiple aspects, even if heterogeneous, united by the responsibility of the choices. This confirms the importance of governance, i.e. the rules, exogenous or self-determined, that an organisation is obliged to follow. In this regard, the Board of Directors has evaluated that ENAV shows a remarkable degree of maturity in the pursuit of sustainability policies and follows a path of constant evolution, developing and improving virtuous practices of annual engagement of its stakeholders, in order to understand the appropriate guidelines of actions in the ESG field and prepare its own materiality matrix. The Sustainability Committee makes its own contribution, by being assigned advisory and proactive tasks on sustainability issues, as well as functions for monitoring activities related to non-financial reporting. The ENAV strategy is elaborated according to sustainability criteria, thus realising the integration that the Corporate Governance Committee places at the centre of a modern vision of the business, both in the letter on the subject and within the new Code. This vision obviously extends to compensation issues: the variable remuneration for the ENAV CEO and management consolidates an integrated vision in which business objectives are increasingly balanced by the identification of targets related to actions of non-financial importance, over the long term, as set out in Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid. The initiatives and actions that the Board puts in place, in this area as everywhere else, are constantly examined also from the point of view of risks – partly thanks to the support of the Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee – and the Internal Control and Risk Management System tracks sustainability issues with risk profiles.

  • 2. "On the subject of pre-Board information, the Committee invites the Boards of Directors to:
    • - explicitly determine the terms deemed appropriate for the submission of the documentation;
    • - provide in the corporate governance report a clear indication of the terms identified and the actual compliance therewith;
    • - not provide that such time limits may be derogated from solely due to confidentiality requirements"

The Committee has noted that, again in 2020, the figure of 75% of the companies that have adopted the Code is confirmed, those companies having accurately quantified the advance notice normally deemed appropriate in providing pre-Board information. ENAV ranks among these companies, first of all having the ability to count on a statutory position in this regard, which provides for a five-day deadline for sending the pre-Board information, definitely sufficient to facilitate an informed decision from the Board of Directors. The statutory deadline for pre-Board information, also provided for in the Board of Directors Regulation, is always respected, and the quality and completeness of the Board information is constantly acknowledged, in the annual board evaluations, as one of the areas of greatest satisfaction for the Board. Therefore, on the whole, the topic of quality and timeliness of information provided to the Board of Directors is in no way a critical issue for ENAV.

As required by the Board of Directors Regulation, pre-Board information is distributed via a highly secure boardroom management platform accessible on the move, which guarantees uninterrupted full availability of the information necessary for the proper fulfilment of the tasks attributed to the Directors, at the same time guaranteeing traceability and selective access, confidentiality and the paramount importance of cyber-security.

  • 3. "On the subject of the application of the independence criteria, the Committee calls on the Boards of Directors to:
    • - always justify on an individual basis any non-application of one or more independence criteria;

- define ex ante the quantitative and/or qualitative criteria to be used for the evaluation of the significance of the relations under examination".

Again in 2020, the Committee noted ample room for improvement in the processes and criteria for assessing the independence of the Directors. In this regard, the Board of Directors has assessed that ENAV applies reasonable criteria, with a solid and transparent evaluation process, formalised in the Policy relating to the criteria and procedure for assessing the independence of its Directors. As broadly referred to in section 3.1 of this Report, the Policy, in line with the specific recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee, pre-determines the quantitative and qualitative criteria to be applied when assessing the significance of the reports referred to in points (c) and (d) of Recommendation No. 7 of the Code, and provides guidance in the process of verifying independence requirements, implementing the provisions of the Code based on the specific characteristics of the Company. The evaluation of independence was carried out recently, also in the same way as the Policy, with regard to considerations of substance as well as form: none of the criteria provided for by the previous Self-governance Code nor by the new Code were not applied, and the correctness of the evaluation process adopted for these purposes was positively evaluated and deemed as such by the Board of Statutory Auditors. For teleological affinity, the practice should also be reiterated, in that, taking into account the provisions of Art. 2391 of the Italian Civil Code and at each meeting, the Directors are called upon, at the start of each meeting, to declare any interests of their own or of others that concern any of the items of business on the agenda.

  • 4. "On the subject of the self-assessment of the governing body, the Committee invites the Boards of Directors to:
    • - evaluate the board's contribution to the definition of the strategic plans;
    • - oversee the board review process.

The involvement of the Board of Directors in the process of elaboration of the company's strategic lines and, consequently, the related contribution, is constant, courtesy of a shared pathway of the ongoing initiatives, divided into information sessions at which the contributions of all the Directors are combined to achieve the best result for the company. Similar considerations apply with regard to board evaluation, carried out again this year with the support of a leading independent consultant, under the guidance of the Board of Directors supported by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, the results of which are dealt with in detail in section 3.11 above.

  • 5. On the subject of the appointment and succession of the Directors, the Committee invites the Boards of Directors to:
    • - promptly report the work done to the Appointments Committee in the event that it is unified with the Remuneration Committee or its functions are assigned to the plenary Board;
    • - ensure the completeness and timeliness of the proposals for resolutions functional to the process of appointing the corporate bodies and to express, least in companies with nonconcentrated ownership, an orientation on its optimal composition;
    • - provide, at least in large companies, a succession plan for the executive Directors, at least identifying the procedures to be followed in the event of early termination thereof.

The Board of Directors is supported on the issues of the appointment and succession of the Directors by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, whose competencies in the field of appointments are distinct from those on remuneration and are the subject of separate and timely illustration in the annual corporate governance reports.

Over the financial year, the final year of the mandate of the previous Board, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee supported the Board of Directors in its adoption of guidelines to shareholders on the optimal composition of the new Board, then published on time for the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting. In view of the ownership structures of ENAV, which qualifies as a concentrated property company according to the definition under the Code, the current Board of Directors may, in view of its renewal, consider whether to express an orientation on its optimal composition.

With regard to the succession issues of the CEO, with its Resolution of 27 February 2018, the acting Board of Directors, with the support of the Appointments Committee, adopted a plan identifying the procedures to be followed in the event of impediment or early termination of the position of CEO.

  • 6. On the subject of the remuneration policies, the Committee invites the Boards of Directors to:
    • - provide clear indications regarding the identification of the weighting of the variable component, distinguishing between components linked to annual and multi-annual time periods;
    • - strengthen the linking of variable remuneration to long-term performance objectives, including, where relevant, non-financial parameters;
    • - limit to exceptional cases, subject to adequate explanation, the possibility of disbursing sums not related to pre-determined parameters (i.e. ad hoc bonuses);
    • - define criteria and procedures for the award of severance benefits;
    • - verify that the extent of the remuneration granted to non-executive directors and to members of the supervisory body are suitable for the competencies, professionalism and commitment required by their appointment.

Over the years, the ENAV remuneration policy has been met with broad support from shareholders and also at the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting, the shareholders present voted almost unanimously in favour of the proposals of the Board of Directors, confirming the proper structuring of the remuneration policy and the transparency of the related provisions.

In that regard, the Board of Directors has assessed that all the Recommendations of the Committee have been reflected in the methodology and forecasts of the ENAV remuneration policy, both with reference to the Financial Year and to the remuneration policy to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the financial year.

This policy provides clear indications as to the weighting of the short- and long-term variable components; it provides for, both with regard to long-term variable incentives and to short-term variable remuneration, the use of non-financial performance objectives; it does not provide for the possibility of disbursing sums not linked to pre-determined parameters or ad hoc bonuses, while it includes precise rules on severance; it provides for the verification, carried out by the Board of Directors with the investigative support of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, of the adequacy of the remuneration granted to non-executive directors and the members of the supervisory body.
