a. Boards or parties involved in the preparation and approval of the remuneration policy, specifying the respective roles, in addition to the Boards or parties responsible for the correct implementation of the policy.
The bodies involved in the preparation, approval and implementation of the remuneration policy are the following:
The Remuneration Committee currently in office comprises the Non-Executive Directors Carlo Pavesio – Chairman, and Daniela Ovazza, and the Non-executive and Independent Directors Elisa Corghi, Renate Hendlmeier and Adriano Marconetto. The Committee was appointed at the Board meeting of April 28, 2016. At the meeting of February 15, 2017, the Board of Directors called the non-executive and independent Director Elisa Corghi to sit on the Committee.
The Board, on appointment, considered that the knowledge and experience of the Independent Directors and the Non-Executive Directors called to sit on the Committee guarantees its independence and proper functioning.
The Committee meets on the call of the Chairman, where considered opportune or where requested by the Executive Directors or the Board of Statutory Auditors. The work of the Committee is overseen and coordinated by the Chairman.
The Remuneration Committee may access the necessary information and departments for the discharge of their duties.
The proposals of the Remuneration Committee are fully reported in the minutes of the Board of Directors meetings at which they are drawn up and are reported in the minutes' book of the Remuneration Committee.
The Executives Directors do not take part in the Committee's meetings.
The Remuneration Committee presents proposals or expresses opinions to the Board of Directors on the remuneration of Executive Directors and other managers with strategic responsibilities, in addition to any proposals on the allocation of an additional remuneration component, as better defined in letter e below.
No independent experts were utilised in the preparation of the remuneration policy.
The remuneration policy of BasicNet S.p.A. seeks to attract, maintain and motivate individuals with the professional qualities and capacities required by the Company and the Group. The remuneration of Executive Directors and Senior Executives is structured in such a manner so as to provide an incentive towards improving company performance, through the satisfaction and motivation of personnel.
The remuneration structure establishes:
In addition to the fixed component, a number of benefits may be conferred, such as, for example purposes, life or health insurance policies for Directors and/or the allocation of a motor vehicle, also for private use. In addition, the Chairman of BasicNet S.p.A., for the duration of mandate, is granted the use of a property located within the "BasicVillage" called "Foresteria – loft People on the move."
The Group has not introduced remuneration plans based on an evaluation of the performance objectives or on financial instruments of any type.
There are no contractual clauses which permit the company to request the repayment, in full or in part, of the variable component of the remuneration paid, determined on the basis of figures which subsequently are manifestly erroneous, also in view of that reported at point e) above, any additional remuneration is identified ex post.
The Group has not introduced remuneration plans based on an evaluation of the performance objectives or on financial instruments of any type.
The remuneration structure, based on a fixed component which represents a sufficiently high percentage of total remuneration, seeks to encourage a conduct which promotes the development of medium/longterm results and operations.
j. Vesting periods, any systems of deferred payment and indexing of deferred payments and the criteria utilised for the determination of these periods and, if established, ex-post correction mechanisms.
This is not applicable to the Group remuneration policies.
k. Clauses for the maintenance in portfolio of financial instruments after their acquisition: maintenance periods and criteria utilised for the establishment of this period.
This is not applicable to the Group remuneration policies.
The Board, on the indication of the Shareholders' AGM, establishes the amount of post-employment benefits through an annual allocation, also provided through a leading insurance company, on behalf of the Company, of an insurance policy, related to an annual constant premium of an amount equalling the amount of the post-employment benefit, in favour of the Chairman or other Executive Directors.
The Board may approve an indemnity in the case of the advanced conclusion of mandate to the Chairman or other Executive Directors.
The Board of Directors may sign non-competition agreements with Executive Directors for a period subsequent to the conclusion of mandate, establishing a fee for this commitment.
There is no link between such benefits and the Company performance.
Insurance coverage, social security or pension payments, other than the obligatory payments, are not provided for, with the exception of any benefits represented by life or health policies for a number of Executive Directors.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that, within the Group, a D&O -Directors' & Officers' Liability cover is in place for events linked to the performance of Directors' and Officers' duties, except in cases of wrongful misconduct.
The remuneration of the Board of Directors is established by the Shareholders' AGM and is allocated equally among Directors.
Non-executive Directors and Independent Directors called to the Control and Risks Committee and the Remuneration Committee are allocated, on the approval of the Board of Directors and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, a fixed annual fee based on the commitment required.
Directors assigned particular roles or responsibilities (Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Directors) are allocated a remuneration, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, based on a motion of the Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors. This remuneration takes into account any employee-based component, in addition to remuneration concerning offices held in subsidiary companies.
For the setting of the remuneration policy, BasicNet did not refer to the remuneration policies of other companies.
The items comprising the remuneration of Directors, Corporate Boards and Managers with strategic responsibilities of the Company is outlined below.
The remuneration structure of the members of the Board of Directors of BasicNet S.p.A., in office at the date of the Report, provides for:
This remuneration was established taking into account also that the Non-Executive Vice Chairman Franco Spalla and the Executive Directors Paola Bruschi, Paolo Cafasso and Elisabetta Rolando, and the Managers with strategic responsibilities Lorenzo Boglione e Alessandro Boglione, are also Executives of BasicNet S.p.A. and hold positions on the Board of Directors of other subsidiaries;
Each member of the Remuneration Committee and the Control and Risks Committee receives a fixed fee of Euro 5 thousand gross annually, determined at the Board of Directors' meeting of May 13, 2016;
For 2017, no bonuses or other incentives were granted to the Executive Directors.
In the Board meeting May 13, 2016, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the following non-monetary benefits were awarded:
The Board of Directors on May 13, 2016, as approved by the Shareholders' AGM of April 28, 2016, on appointment also approved, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors:
The Board of Directors, in the meeting of May 13, 2016, and on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, decided that on conclusion of office or of the duties conferred for just cause or revocation without just cause, the following is allocated:
The Board of Directors of the company, at the meeting of April 28, 2016, subsequent to the appointment of the Executive Boards and the granting of relative powers, noting the lapsing of the duties and powers granted to the current Director Franco Spalla, allocated under previous mandates, as the Chief Executive Officer of the company, implemented the motion undertaken at the meeting of April 29, 2013, on the basis of which, against the obligation of the then Chief Executive Officer Franco Spalla to abstain from carrying out, directly or indirectly, activities in competition with the company or the BasicNet Group, throughout the European Union for a period of three years from conclusion of the office of Director or the substantial reduction of the duties conferred to him, or a change of role except in the case of termination of mandate or employment for just cause from the time of the latter of these events if not contemporaneous, that the company would pay in three equal annual instalments, the first of which on the verification of any of the events listed above and the two successive instalments on any anniversary of this date, an amount of Euro 1.5 million, which therefore matured at the maintenance of the agreement in three annual rates of € 500 thousand each.
In a second time, it was proposed to Mr. Spalla, who accepted, to amend the payment maturities on the basis of six years, rather than three, to be paid by May 10 of each year from May 2016. On the basis of the non-competition agreement, which became executive, in the case of his passing, any residual instalments should be paid to the heirs of Mr. Franco Spalla. This risk is covered by a specific insurance policy with BasicNet S.p.A. as the beneficiary.
The following table breaks down the remuneration of Directors, Statutory Auditors, General Managers and, at an aggregate level, other Managers with strategic responsibilities. Separate indication is provided of remuneration received from subsidiaries and/or associated companies. All parties which during the year have held the above offices are included, even if for a portion of the year. Remuneration concerns that accrued in the year. Post-employment indemnity is indicated for the period in which it matured, even if not paid, for those concluding employment during the year or for those reaching the end of mandate and/or contract.
