In order to be able to participate in the Plan it is required that each Beneficiary, at the moment of allocation of the Options:
Among the Beneficiaries of the Plan identified by the Board of Directors with resolution adopted on May 12, 2015, having consulted the Remuneration Committee, is the Executive with Strategic Responsibilities Mr. Roberto Eggs, who, after the date of allocation by the Board of Directors of Moncler, has also been appointed as Director of the subsidiary Industries S.p.A..

Not applicable.

Among the Beneficiaries is an Executive with Strategic Responsibilities (Chief Operating Officer) with 600,000 options.

In line with the best market practices adopted by listed companies at the national and international level, the Company believes remuneration plans based on shares constitute an effective tool for incentivizing and building loyalty among the people who hold key positions and for employees in order to keep their performances high and to improve them and contribute to increasing the growth and success of the companies.
The adoption of remuneration plans based on shares responds, moreover, to the recommendations of the Self-Regulatory Code, Article 6 of which recognizes that such plans constitute an instrument suitable for enabling alignment of the interests of the executive directors and executives with strategic responsibilities of listed companies with those of the shareholders, making it possible to achieve the priority objective of value creation in a medium-long term time frame.
In particular, in line with what is represented above, Moncler intends to promote and achieve the following objectives:
The reasons and criteria on the basis of which the Company will establish the relationship
between the allocation of the Options and other components of the overall remuneration of the Beneficiaries refer, on the one hand, to the need to reconcile the goals of incentivizing and building the loyalty of people who play key roles, in order to keep performances high and to improve them and thus contribute to increasing the growth and success of the Company, and on the other to pay the people concerned an overall benefit in line with the best market practices adopted by listed companies at the national and international level, as already evidenced by the Self-Regulatory Code in accordance with what is indicated in Paragraph 2.1 above.
The Plan is developed in a time frame considered suitable for achieving the objectives of incentivizing and loyalty building pursued by it.
Each Beneficiary will be able to exercise the allocated Options on condition that the specific Performance Targets are achieved as identified following.
The Performance Targets are represented, for each Attribution Cycle, by the consolidate EBITDA of Moncler's Group of the last exercise of the three years reference, resulting from the three years business plan.
In particular, with reference to the first and only Attribution Cycle, the business plan for the 2014-2016 period, approved by the Moncler Board of Directors on March 4, 2015, sets forth the EBITDA-related performance targets of the last financial year of the threeyear period, as per the consolidated financial statements, which shall represent the parameter for the identification of the percentage of Options exercisable by the Beneficiaries.
The number of Options exercisable as a result of achievement of the Performance Targets will be calculated on the basis of the following table:
| Performance Targets | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA achieved in the reference | Exercisable Options | ||
| period of three years |
|||
| ≥90% | 100% | ||
| ≥85% and <90% |
80% | ||
| <85% | 0% |
In the case of failure to achieve the minimum Performance Target of 85% of EBITDA consolidated of Moncler Group reached in financial three years, as resulting from three years business plan, the allocated Options will lapse and shall be considered to all intents and purposes extinct.
The Board of Directors, after having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, shall have the right to give its consent to exercise the Options, in whole or in part, also in the hypothesis of failure to achieve the Performance Targets.
At the Allocation Date, the Company's Board of Directors has determined the number of Options to allocate to each Beneficiary, after having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee evaluating the strategic importance of each Beneficiary as a function of the creation of new value.
Consistently with what was illustrated in Paragraph 2.3 above, the number of Options to
allocate to each Beneficiary is determined by the Board of Directors, after having heard the Remuneration Committee, considering the following elements:
2.4. Reasons underlying any decision to attribute remuneration plans based on financial instruments not issued by the financial instrument issuer, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiary or parent companies or third-party companies with respect to the group to which they belong; in the case in which the aforesaid instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to determine the value attributable to them
Not applicable, as the Plan provides for the free allocation to the Beneficiary of Options that attribute the right to subscribe Shares.
There are no significant implications of an accounting or fiscal nature that have impacted the definition of the Plan.
2.6. Any support of the plan through the special Fund for incentivizing the participation of workers in enterprises, as per Article 4, paragraph 112 of the Law of 24 December 2003, No. 350
The Plan will not receive any support from the special Fund for incentivizing the participation of workers in enterprises, as per Article 4, paragraph 112 of the Law of 24 December 2003, No. 350.
On 4 March 2015, the Company's Board of Directors, with the favorable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, voted to submit the Plan for approval by the Shareholders' Meeting.
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 23 April, 2015 has resolved upon the adoption of the Plan, as well as the granting to the Board of Directors all necessary and appropriate powers to give complete and full implementation to the Plan, in particular (merely by way of example) all powers to approve the Regulation, modify and/or add to it, identify the Beneficiaries, determine the amount of Options to allocate to each Beneficiary, determine the exercise price of Options, proceed to the allocations of the options to the Beneficiaries, provide for the drawing up and/or finalization of all necessary or appropriate documentation in relation to the Plan, as well as carry out all acts, obligations, formalities and communications which are necessary or opportune for the purposes of the management and/or implementation of the Plan, with the right to delegate its powers, tasks and responsibilities regarding the execution and application of the Plan to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to the fact that every decision relating and/or pertinent to the allocation of the Options to the Chairman as Beneficiary (like every other decision relating and/or pertinent to the management and/or implementation of the Plan in his regard) shall remain the exclusive competence of the Board of Directors.
The competence for execution of the Plan lies with the Board of Directors, which has been entrusted by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 23, 2015 with the management and implementation of the Plan, availing itself of the Remuneration Committee as well as the assistance of the Human Resources Management.
The operational management of the Plan has been delegated to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, who is acting in accordance with the provisions of the Plan Implementation Regulation.
The Administration of the Plan is attended by a fiduciary which acts on the basis of a specific mandate granted by Moncler and must comply with the provisions of the Plan Implementation Regulation applicable thereto.
Without prejudice to the competence of the Shareholders' Meeting in the cases established by law, the Board of Directors, after having heard the Remuneration Committee, will be able at any time to make the modifications of the Plan.
The Plan provides for free allocation to the Beneficiaries of Options valid for the subscription of Shares newly issued by the Company, in the ratio of one Share for each Option exercised.
The overall maximum number of Shares to be allocated to the Beneficiaries for execution of the Plan is set at No. 2,548,225.
The Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2015 has resolved upon the increase of the Company's share capital, in order to service of the Plan on a paid basis and by share splitting, for a maximum amount of €509,645, with exclusion of the right of option in accordance with Article 2441, paragraphs 4, second period of the Civil Code, through the issue of a maximum of 2,548,225 new ordinary Shares, without indication of the expressed nominal value, having the same characteristics as those in circulation on the date of issue, with regular enjoyment.
For further information in the capital increase for the Plan, see documentation relating to the Shareholders' Meeting of April 23, 2015 available on the Company's website www.monclergroup.com, in Section "Governance>Shareholders' Meeting".
The Company has made available to the Beneficiary the Options to which he is entitled in the time limits and ways established in the Regulation.
As at the date hereof, No. 1,375,000 Options are allocated to the Beneficiaries of the 2015 Plan (net of the allocated options which have lapsed or cannot be otherwise exercisable pursuant to the regulation of the 2015 Plan).
Given that no further Attribution Cycles are envisaged, the Shareholders' Meeting of April 20, 2016 shall have to resolve upon the revocation of the capital increase resolution of April 23, 2015 to the extent the same is not necessary for the fulfilment of the exercise by the beneficiaries of the "2015 Performance Stock Option Plan", approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 23, 2015, of the options allocated thereto by April 20, 2016.
Without prejudice to the remainder of the conditions, the abovementioned capital increase shall, therefore, entail the issuance, even at various times, of maximum No. 1,375,000 ordinary shares.
The characteristics of the Plan, submitted for approval by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to and in accordance with Article 114-bis of TUF, were determined collegially by the Board of Directors, which approved submission of the proposal to adopt the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting, after having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee.
On 4 March 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the proposal to submit the adoption of the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting, after having heard the favorable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, which had a meeting on 27 February 2015.
On May 12, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors, upon the approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 23, 2015 of the adoption of the Plan, with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee which met on May 11, 2015, adopted the Regulation of the Plan, identified the relevant Beneficiaries and allocated thereto aggregate No. 1,385,000 Options.
On the Allocation Date, 12 May 2015, the market price of the Shares was equal to Euro 16.21.
3.9. In case of plans based on financial instruments traded on regulated markets, in which terms and according to what ways the issuer takes account, in the area of identification of the timing of allocation of the instruments in implementation of the plans, of any timing coincidence between: (i) said allocation or any decisions taken in this regard by the remuneration committee, and (ii) the dissemination of any relevant information in accordance with Article 114, paragraph 1, such as in the case that such information is: a. not already public and apt to influence the market quotations positively, or b. already published and apt to influence the market quotations negatively.
The structure of the Plan, the conditions, the duration and the ways of allocating the Options currently do not lead one to believe that the allocation can be significantly influenced by any dissemination of relevant information in accordance with Article 114, paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, it being understood that the procedure for allocation of the Options will in any case take place in full compliance with the information obligations incumbent upon the Company in order to ensure transparency and equality of information to the market, as well as in keeping with the internal procedures adopted by the Company.
The Plan further provides that the Beneficiary cannot exercise the allocated Options in the thirty days that precede the meetings of the Board of Directors for approval of the annual financial statements, the half year financial report and each quarter report.
The Board of Directors may also provide for additional periods of blockage of exercise of the Options with reference to all or only some of the Beneficiaries.
The Beneficiaries will also be bound to comply with the applicable regulatory provisions, with particular reference to the legislation in regard to market abuses in relation to operations of exercising the Options and to disposal of the Shares resulting from exercise of the allocated Options relating to participation in the Plan.
Ascertained violation by the Beneficiary, even non definitively, of conduct that can be considered insider trading or market manipulation according to the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Company's Internal Dealing Code will entail automatic exclusion of the Beneficiary from the Plan and lapse of the unexercised Options referable to him.
The Plan provides for the free allocation of Options which allow, at the established conditions, subsequent subscription of the Shares, with regulation for physical delivery. The instruments allotted are stock options.
Each allocated Option grants the Beneficiary the right to subscribe 1 (one) Share, for regular enjoyment, upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price.
It will be possible to exercise the allocated Options in several tranches, subject to achievement of the Performance Targetss indicated in Paragraph 2.2 above.
The Plan provides for one single allocation cycle of Options to be exercised within June 30, 2015.
The Attribution Cycle is composed (i) of a period of Option accrual (the Vesting Period) of three years, (ii) of an additional period (the Exercise Period) during which the Beneficiary, in compliance with what is indicated in the Plan, may exercise the Options and (iii) an additional period during which the executive director and/or the Executive with Strategic Responsibilities may hold a part of subscripted Shares after the Options Exercise.
Each Attribution Cycle is determined the last term within who the Options may be
exercised by the Beneficiary. In any case the Plan expires on 30 June 2022. The Options not exercised by the Expiry Date must be considered to all intents and purposes extinct, consequently freeing the Company from any obligation resulting from the Plan in relation to the Beneficiary.
See what is specified under Paragraph 4.2.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 2,548,225 Options which give the right to subscribe an equal maximum number of newly issued Shares.
The Plan does not provide for a maximum number of Options for allocation in a fiscal year.
As at the date hereof, No. 1,375,000 Options (out of the 1,385,000 allocated Options) are exercisable.
For what concerns the manner and the clauses of implementation of the Plan, see what is provided for by the individual sections of this Information Document. In particular, on the Attribution Date, the Company's Board of Directors has determined the number of Options to allocate to each Beneficiary according to the criteria indicated in Paragraph 2.3 above.
The allocation of the Options to the Beneficiaries is free of charge, is not subordinate to the achievement of Performance Targets, and is not correlated to other key variables. Each Beneficiary may exercise the allocated Options by subscribing the Shares, on condition that the Performance Targets specified in Paragraph 2.2 above have been achieved.
The Options and all the rights incorporated therein are strictly personal, nominative, nontransferable and non-tradable (except, within certain limits, transferability upon death) and are therefore not distrainable and not usable in relation to debts or contracts assumed by each of the Beneficiaries vis-à-vis Moncler or third parties.
The Beneficiaries that are Executive Directors or Executives with Strategic Responsibilitiesshall not transfer, for at least 12 months from the Exercise Date, a number of Shares equal to 20% of the subscripted Shares by virtue of the Options Exercise, net of Shares transferable for the payment of (i) Exercise Price of Options and (ii) taxes, providential and welfare charges, if due, connected to the Option Exercise.
Even after the above mentioned period, the Beneficiaries that are Executive Directors shall not transfer a number of Shares equal to 50% of the total amount of the non-transferable Shares pursuant to this article, until the expiration of their office.
Such Shares shall be locked–up - and therefore they shall not be transferred, exchanged, loaned, or be subject to other acts inter vivos – until the expiration of the term as set forth above, except in case of written authorization by the Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee.
4.7. Description of any conditions subsequent in relation to attribution of the plans in the case that the addressees engage in hedging operations that make it
possible to neutralize any prohibitions of sale of the allocated financial instruments, also in the form of options, or of the financial instruments resulting from the exercise of such options

this Options must be consider as extinct for all effects.
In view of the occurrence of the above mentioned events no compensation is due by Moncler or its Subsidiaries for eventual damages and/or prejudices suffered by the Beneficiaries. For the purposes of this provision, the notice period shall not include the accrued and/or to the Option Exercise.
In all cases in which, prior to the relevant Final Exercise Date determined for the Attribution Cycle, a Change of Control occurs, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to continue its participation to the Plan, without prejudice to any different contractual proposals made by the new controlling subject, or it shall be entitled to exercise the totality of the allocated Options, regardless of the expiration of the Vesting Period and the achievement of the Performance Targets.

The Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, may derogate to the above terms and conditions to the Beneficiary or its successors.
Except as indicated in other paragraphs of this Information Document, no other causes of cancellation of the Plan exist.
4.10. Reasons relating to any provision for a "redemption", on the part of the company, of the financial instruments that are the subject of the plans, provided for in accordance with Articles 2357 et seq. of the Civil Code; beneficiaries of the redemption, indicating if it is destined only for particular categories of employees; effects of termination of the employment relationship on said redemption
The Plan does not provide for redemption clauses on the part of the Company.
The Plan provides claw back clauses. Where it is found, within 3 years from the Initial Exercise Date, that the Performance Targets had been deemed by the Board of Directors as achieved on the basis of uncorrected data or should be certified one of the following events attributable to the Beneficiary:
fraudulent or severally faulted behaviors damages to the Company,
violation of fidelity obligations,
any behaviors of the Beneficiary causing relevant financial damages to the Company, the Board of Directors, shall resolve upon:
i) the suspension of the Exercisable Options and/or
providential and welfare charges connected to the Option Exercise, possibly also by balancing such value with the wages and / or indemnities granted to the Beneficiary.
Not applicable, as the Plan provides for free allocation of Options.
4.12. Indication of evaluations on the expected expense for the company at the date of relative allocation, as determinable on the basis of terms and conditions already defined, for overall amount and in relation to each instrument of the plan
Given that the possible exercise of the Options is performed through a paid capital increase, no expenses are to be borne by the Company for the subscription of the Shares. The exercise of the Options in accordance with the Plan shall entail, for Moncler's shareholders, a dilution of their respective interest in the share capital of the Company, as describe in paragraph 4.13 below.
The full subscription of the increase in the share capital for the Plan as a result of the exercise of all the Options and assuming that further capital increases are not made would determine a dilution of 1.02% of the current share capital for the Company's shareholders. Given that no further Attribution Cycles are envisaged, the Shareholders' Meeting of April 20, 2016 shall have to resolve upon the revocation of the capital increase resolution of April 23, 2015 to the extent the same is not necessary for the fulfilment of the exercise by the beneficiaries of the "2015 Performance Stock Option Plan", approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 23, 2015, of the options allocated thereto by April 20, 2016.
Without prejudice to the remainder of the conditions, the abovementioned capital increase shall, therefore, entail the issuance, even at various times, of maximum 1,375,000 ordinary shares.
