LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholders,

In my capacity as Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee of Sabaf S.p.A., I have the pleasure to present the "Report on the general remuneration policy for the three-year period from 2024 to 2026 and remuneration paid in 2023" of Sabaf S.p.A.

In accordance with the recommendations of the main proxy advisors as well as the latest market best practices, this Report is introduced by an Executive Summary section, with the intention of making the constructive "dialogue" established with all the Group's stakeholders more effective and stable.

The Report consists of two Sections: i) the First Section "Report on the "General Remuneration Policy" of Sabaf S.p.A. for the three-year period from 2024 to 2026", which describes a remuneration and incentive proposal for the three-year period to come 2024 - 2026 and the new board of directors; ii) the Second Section "Report on the remuneration paid for the year 2023", which provides details of the remuneration paid in the year ended 31 December.

In structuring the Policy, account was taken of the termination of the Board's official assignment with the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2023. Without prejudice to the rights of the Shareholders' Meeting and the future Board of Directors, within the limits of their competences, to determine the remuneration of the Directors and Statutory Auditors and their attendance at Committee meetings, the Policy formulates a proposal for the revision of the remuneration of the Directors, also based on an extensive benchmarking activity with the aim of bringing Sabaf S.p.A. into line with the market best practices.

The main changes in the First Section of the Report relate to the revision of the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the introduction of the new Long-Term Incentive Plan for the three-year period from 2024 to 2026, following the vesting of the previous LTIP. The Second Section provides transparency on the achievement of the collective income-based objectives for the short-term variable incentive scheme of the reporting year.

We hope that the proposed general remuneration policy for the three-year period from 2024 to 2026 will focus the attention of the Board of Directors and the Committee on the market best practices concerning remuneration, aware that the remuneration policy not only plays a key role in attracting and motivating excellent resources, but also in upholding the values of fairness and equal treatment.

Graphical evidence of the results of shareholders' voting

ò

In this regard, it should be noted that, at the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, a proxy advisor recommended voting against. In particular, the proxy advisor considered that certain elements of the 2021-2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the definition of separate targets for each of the 3 years of the plan and the provision of a catch-all clause) were not in line with best practice.

The company intends to take these results into account for future long-term incentive plans.

B. FIRST SECTION: REPORT ON THE "GENERAL REMUNERATION POLICY" OF SABAF S.P.A. FOR THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD FROM 2024 TO 2026

B.1 CHANGES INTRODUCED COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS POLICY

With respect to the General Remuneration Policy submitted to the Shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting of 6 May 2021, the main changes proposed in the new policy are as follows:

  • redefinition of the paragraph structure for conciseness and clarity of presentation, and inclusion of a Foreword and Executive Summary, as well as an indication of the theoretical pay mix;
  • rebalancing of the short-term and long-term components of variable remuneration (see paragraph B.2.2.2), also in view of the benchmarking analysis;
  • launch of the new LTIP Plan since the vesting of the previous "2021-2023 Stock Grant Plan".

B.2. GENERAL REMUNERATION POLICY OF THE COMPANY

B.2.1. Purposes of the Policy

The Company's intention is that the Policy:

  • ensures the competitiveness of the Company on the labour market and attracts, motivates and increases the loyalty of persons with appropriate professional expertise;
  • protects the principles of internal equity and diversity;
  • brings the interests of the management into line with those of the Shareholders and Stakeholders;
  • favours the creation of sustainable value in the medium to long term, and maintains an appropriate level of competitiveness for the Company in the sector in which it operates;
  • pursues the Sustainable Success of the Company by attracting, motivating and retaining people with the skills and professionalism required by their role in the Company; the training, corporate welfare and, where possible, smart working contents of the Policy also complement each other in their focus on and enhancement of human resources.

The Policy envisages the remuneration of Executive directors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities should be structured to include a significant variable remuneration, also through the allocation of financial instruments: (i) whose payment is conditional on the achievement of common objectives for both the short-term and long-term variable component and short-term individual objectives, not only of an economic-financial nature, but also of a technical-productive and/or socio-environmental nature; (ii) subject, in part, to adequate retention and deferral mechanisms.

The objectives to which the disbursement of significant portions of variable remuneration is conditioned are structured in such a way as to prevent them from being achieved through short-term management choices that would potentially undermine the sustainability and/or the Company's ability to generate profit in the long term.

In this context, the policy aims to encourage the achievement of the strategic objectives set out in the pro tempore business plans and sustainability plans in force and to create long-term value for stakeholders, also in line with the principles of corporate social responsibility.

B.2.2. Structure of the Policy

The principles and characteristics of the remuneration package regulated by the Policy for the persons to whom the Policy applies follow the same approach for determining, in general, the remuneration packages offered to employees. In defining each remuneration package proposed by Sabaf to its personnel, the following points are considered as priority elements for assessment:

  • (i) the comparison with the external market and the internal equity of the Company;
  • (ii) the characteristics of the position, the responsibilities assigned and the skills of the persons, taking care to avoid any form of discrimination;
  • (iii) the pursuit of Sabaf's growth strategy and the strengthening of the Company's long-term interests and sustainability based on the principles of fairness, sustainability, equal opportunities, meritocracy and competitiveness in relation to the market.

In preparing the remuneration package referred to in this Policy, account was therefore taken of the fact that employees are generally offered remuneration that includes, in addition to the pay envisaged by the "National Collective Labour Contract for the Metal and Engineering Industry", supplemented by second-level negotiations, an individual fixed component and variable components based on the achievement of common or individual objectives. The training opportunities provided and access to the company welfare platform are also part of the remuneration, incentive and enhancement system. Sabaf also aims to establish and maintain effective and efficient working partnerships, aimed at the pursuit of general and individual objectives and, in this perspective,

also to encourage - where possible - the development of smart working conditions, including through the use of technologies that ensure continuous value for the company and for individuals and that improve work-life balance.

The definition of a fair and sustainable remuneration package takes into account three main tools:

  • fixed remuneration;
  • variable remuneration (short- and long-term);
  • benefits.

Each remuneration component is analysed in the following paragraphs.

B.2.2.1. The fixed component

The fixed component of the remuneration consists of a fixed annual component and, where applicable, a component recognised at the end of the relationship with the Company.

The following table summarises the fixed components of the Company's Policy for the Board of Directors, Executives with strategic responsibilities and the Company's Statutory Auditors.

B.2.2.1.1. Fixed annual component

The fixed annual component of the remuneration is such that it is able to attract and motivate individuals with appropriate expertise for the entrusted offices, and is set with reference to the remuneration paid for the same positions by other Italian listed companies, typically industrial companies of comparable size and complexity.

The members of the Board of Directors receive a fixed remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting. The outgoing Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee, and on the basis of the proposal to confirm the number of Directors at 9 (nine), resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting for a three-year term of office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2026:

• an annual gross fixed remuneration of €25,000.00 (twenty-five thousand/00) for each member and therefore €225,000.00 (two hundred and twenty-five thousand/00) for the new Board of Directors, which excludes the remuneration paid to Directors who are employees by virtue of their employment relationship and any remuneration of Directors holding special offices pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the determination of which is delegated, pursuant to law, to the Board of Directors.

With regard to the remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Directors, the Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Committee and subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, determines the additional fixed remuneration. Directors who sit on committees formed within the Board are paid fixed remuneration intended to reward the commitment required of them.

If Executive Directors are also assigned an executive management role within the Group, the Board of Directors decides on the RAL, which - in accordance with the "National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Managers of Companies producing goods and services" - is set at a level that is sufficient to ensure an appropriate base salary, even if the variable components are not paid due to non-achievement of targets.

In this regard, it should be noted - for information purposes only - that, in consideration of the fact that the RAL was unchanged from 2021, the Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Committee and following benchmarking activities, resolved to increase, starting from the current financial year (2024), the RAL of the Chief Executive Officer and of the Executive Director - CFO, bringing it to €403,000.00 (four hundred and three thousand/00) and €224,000.00 (two hundred and twenty-four thousand/00), respectively. All this, however, is without prejudice to the rights of the Competent bodies to modify the RAL in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Executives with strategic responsibilities are paid a fixed annual remuneration, determined so that it is sufficient in itself to guarantee an appropriate basic salary level, even in the event that the variable components are not paid owing to a failure to reach the objectives. The fixed gross annual remuneration is regulated by the "National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Managers of Companies producing goods and services". In this regard, fixed remuneration is determined so that it is sufficient in itself to guarantee an appropriate basic salary level, even in the event that the variable components are not paid owing to a failure to reach the objectives.

In this regard, it should be noted - for information purposes only - that, in consideration of the fact that the RAL was unchanged from 2021, the Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Committee and following benchmarking activities, resolved to increase, starting from the current financial year (2024), the fixed annual gross fixed remuneration of the ESRs, with an average increase of 14%. All this, however, is without prejudice to the rights of the Competent bodies to modify the RAL in compliance with the applicable regulations.

The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are paid a fixed remuneration, the amount of which is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting, at the time of their appointment. The outgoing Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee, resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting, for the three-year term of office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2026, an annual gross remuneration of €94,000.00 (ninety-four thousand/00) for the new Board of Statutory Auditors, of which €40,000.00 (forty thousand/00) for the Chairman and €27,000.00 (twenty-seven thousand/00) for each of the other two Statutory Auditors. The commitment required of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the performance of its duties can be inferred from the Report on the Corporate Governance System to which reference should be made.

B.2.2.1.2. Allowance for early termination of employment and non-competition agreements

The current Chief Executive Officer entered into a permanent employment contract with the Company, effective as from 12 September 2017. The managerial employment relationship is regulated by the "National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Managers of Companies producing goods and services". In case of early termination of employment at the Company's initiative not due to just cause, a fixed allowance for termination of employment shall be paid, as a redundancy incentive, of €700,000.00 (seven hundred thousand/00). The same allowance is also envisaged in case of resignation for just cause from the office of chief executive officer or from the executive position. There are no specific clauses linking the payment of the termination allowance and the performance of the Company.

Without prejudice to the relationships already in place, the Policy envisages, as a general rule, that the contractual termination-of-employment allowances for the Chief Executive Officer shall not exceed, as a general rule, a maximum of 24 (twenty four) months of the total gross remuneration (including both the gross remuneration as manager and any gross remuneration for the management position) paid to the Chief Executive Officer, without prejudice to more favourable provisions of any applicable collective bargaining agreement. The Policy also envisages that future agreements with Chief Executive Officers will specify the portion of the termination-ofemployment allowance based on the fixed component of remuneration and the portion of the termination-ofemployment allowance based on the Company's performance, and provide for specific cases of exclusion of the payment of the termination-of-employment allowance due to the failure to achieve, within pre-defined minimum thresholds, the objectives of the Business Plan.

There are no agreements for other Directors or other Executives with strategic responsibilities regulating ex ante the economic part concerning the early termination of the employment relationship. In case of termination of the relationship for reasons other than just cause or justified reasons by the employer, the Company's remuneration policy allows for consensual agreements to end the relationship in compliance with legal and contractual obligations. These agreements must be approved by the Board of Directors at the suggestion of the Committee.

The Company does not provide Directors other than the Chief Executive Officer with benefits subsequent to the end of their service.

Non-competition agreements concerning employment relationships are entered into by the Company in accordance with Art. 2125 of the Italian Civil Code. .

The Chief Executive Officer in office is bound, as a manager, by a post-contractual non-competition agreement for a period of 12 (twelve) months following the termination of his employment, which provides for a fixed annual fee paid during the term of employment in monthly instalments. The non-competition agreement is protected by a fixed penalty for breach, without prejudice to the possibility of compensation for greater damages. There is no link between the corporate performance and the payment of the fee for the non-competition agreement.

Based on the Policy, non-competition agreements are also envisaged with certain Executives with strategic responsibilities, the terms of which were approved by the Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee. These agreements have a duration of 24 (twenty four) months following the termination of the employment relationship and provide for annual fees, paid during the employment relationship in monthly instalments, equal to 10% (ten per cent) of the gross annual remuneration. There is no link between the corporate performance and the payment of fees for non-competition agreements.

The termination of the employment or collaboration relationship with the Chief Executive Officer, the other Directors and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities - if they are beneficiaries of incentive plans based on financial instruments - determines the effects indicated under "Long-term variable component".

The remuneration policy does not envisage the assignment or maintenance of non-monetary benefits, nor the signing of consultancy contracts, for periods after the termination of the relationship with the Chief Executive Officer, other Directors or Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

B.2.2.2. Variable component

The Policy aims to attract, incentivise and retain key professional profiles. The Policy is structured to align the management's interests with those of the Shareholders with the aim of creating sustainable value.

In particular, the variable component of remuneration provides that:

  • Executive Directors, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and any additional managers specifically identified by the Chief Executive Officer are entitled to short-term variable remuneration (STI). The objectives to which the recognition of the variable is linked - also taking into account the role and responsibilities held are linked to the budget for each year;
  • Executive Directors, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and any additional managers specifically identified by the Board of Directors are entitled to a long-term variable remuneration. The objectives to which the recognition of the variable is linked, also taking into account the role and responsibilities held, are a) economic and financial, linked to the Group's Business plan, and b) sustainability (ESG).

The following table summarises the variable components of the Policy for the Board of Directors.

B.2.2.2.1. Short-term variable component

The Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Committee and in accordance with the budget, defines an STI plan, for the benefit of:

  • Executive Directors (Chief Executive Officer and CFO);
  • Executives with Strategic Responsibilities;
  • other persons, identified by the Chief Executive Officer, among the managers who report directly to him or who report to the aforementioned managers.

The STI Plan provides for two different types of objectives ("KPI"): (a) a common objective based on Adjusted EBIT, as indicator of financial performance; and (b) quantifiable and measurable individual objectives economicfinancial, technical-productive and/or socio-environmental in nature. Some individual objectives refer to technical (e.g. efficiency and quality), management (e.g. meeting deadlines for completion of relevant projects) and sustainability (e.g. environmental performance) parameters. A fixed variable portion of between 35% (thirty-five per cent) and 45% (forty-five per cent) of the variable remuneration under the STI plan is related to the common Adjusted EBIT objective. The STI Plan envisages, with regard to the Adjusted EBIT objective, the payment of remuneration according to the objective achievement range.

There is: (a) an entry threshold ("floor") at 80% (eighty per cent) of the target, entitling the employee to 60% (sixty per cent); and an extra bonus if the target is exceeded by more than 5% (five per cent), entitling the employee to a bonus of 10% (the "CAP").

For the portion of the variable component of the STI plan, the payment of which is linked to the achievement of the other objectives, no ranges are routinely provided according to the level of achievement of the target.

The STI plan includes malus and/or clawback clauses in the event that the objectives of the STI plan were achieved on the basis of data that later proved to be incorrect.

The allocation of the variable component under the STI plan is conditional on continued employment until the end of the vesting period.

The objectives of the Chief Executive Officer and of the Executives with strategic responsibilities are decided by the Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Committee, in accordance with the budget.

The objectives of the other beneficiaries of the incentive plans are defined by the Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the budget.

B.2.2.2.2. Long-term variable component

The Board of Directors' meeting of 19 March 2024, at the suggestion of the Committee and in line with the Business Plan, approved the new LTIP Plan, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval and whose beneficiaries are:

  • Executive Directors (Chief Executive Officer and CFO);
  • Executives with Strategic Responsibilities;
  • other persons, identified by the Chief Executive Officer, among the managers who report directly to him or who report to the aforementioned managers.

The new LTIP establishes the conditions for the payment of a bonus to the beneficiaries upon the achievement, in whole or in part, of the objectives (KPIs) as set out below.

The Plan envisages the allocation of financial instruments, consisting of Company Shares. A maximum of 270,000 (two hundred and seventy thousand) rights per Share are to be allocated.

The LTIP Plan as a whole is then submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for evaluation and approval. Subsequently, the Board of Directors, in compliance with the authorising resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee:

  • will determine the regulation of the LTIP Plan;
  • will define, where not already identified, the beneficiary managers of the Company or Subsidiaries who hold or will hold key positions in the implementation of the Business Plan and/or the Group's sustainability targets. In the case of the Executive Directors and the ESRs, the identification has taken place or will take place at the specific suggestion of the Committee; in other cases, the identification will take place at the suggestion of the Chief Executive Officer;
  • it will identify the total number of rights of the LTIP plan to be assigned to each beneficiary within the limits set by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The LTIP Plan also provides for the right of the Company - to be exercised by resolution of the Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee - to pay to the beneficiaries, instead of and in lieu of the shares, all or part of a sum of money (the "Replacement Amount") not exceeding 40% (forty per cent) of the shares actually vested and allocated, in the cases provided for in the Plan Regulations. The Replacement Amount will be calculated on the value of the Shares at the official closing price, on the regulated market managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., on the day preceding the date of the resolution to allocate the shares (the "Reference Price"). The calculation will therefore be based on the following formula:

Replacement Amount = no. Shares to be allocated x Reference Price.

The LTIP Plan normally provides for a multi-year vesting period, with subsequent allocation of the financial instruments.

The allocation of financial instruments of the LTIP Plan is related to predetermined financial and non-financial performance targets measurable and linked to the creation of value for the Shareholders over a long-term horizon, based on business plans approved by the Board of Directors.

The new LTIP Plan is linked to the achievement of targets for three three-year performance indicators (KPIs), namely (i) three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) the average Adjusted ROI over the three-year period and (iii) to Sustainability Targets. The first two KPIs are based on the Business Plan, while the third is based on Sustainability Targets, in particular a target for the human resources training plan, a target for a workplace safety indicator and a target for the environment.

The weighting of each indicator in the total allocation of rights is 45% (forty-five per cent) for the three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA, 35% (thirty-five per cent) for the average Adjusted ROI over the three-year period, and 20% (twenty per cent) for the sustainability indicators, of which 5% (five per cent) for the human resources training performance KPI aimed at the social sustainability of the Group's business and the improvement of internal skills, 5% (five per cent) for the workplace safety indicator aimed at the social sustainability of the Group's business and the protection of employee health, and 10% (ten per cent) for the environmental indicator aimed at environmental sustainability with a view to reducing CO2 emissions.

For each of the selected indicators, there is:

• a minimum level of performance (Floor), equal to 80% (eighty per cent) of the value of each target.

• a level of achievement of the target performance, in which case the target bonus for each of the indicators considered is paid up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the LTIP Plan ("CAP").

The allocation of the bonus is conditional on the continuation of the employment and/or collaboration and/or administration relationship between the beneficiary and the Company at the date of approval of the financial statements for the year in which the allocation is envisaged, according to the criteria established by the LTIP plan, subject to the provisions of the Plan itself in case of early termination of employment that can be identified as a Good Leaver.

In order to favour the alignment of interests between the beneficiaries of the LTIP Plan and the Company's stakeholders, the LTIP Plan provides for a lock-up period for the beneficiaries, concerning 40% of the Shares actually granted to the beneficiaries, regulated as follows:

  • lock-up of 1 (one) year on a portion of the "stock grants" actually allocated equal to 20% of the same;
  • lock-up of 2 (two) years on a portion of the "stock grants" actually allocated equal to a further 20% of the same.

The LTIP Plan provides for malus and/or clawback clauses in the following cases:

  • a) the Beneficiary has engaged in fraudulent or grossly negligent behaviour that has caused damage to the assets or image of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Group;
  • b) the beneficiary has affected, by its own fraudulent or grossly negligent behaviour, the achievement of the objectives of the LTIP Plan;
  • c) the objectives of the LTIP Plan were achieved based on data that later proved to be manifestly incorrect.

Based on the Policy, all or part of the bonus is allocated by the Board of Directors; for the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with strategic responsibilities, the allocation is made at the suggestion of the Committee.

COMPOSITION Chief Executive Officer allocation of 63,000 share options for the
three-year period of LTIP.

three-year period of LTIP.

    • the Chief Executive Officer, Pietro Iotti, accrued variable remuneration of €84,000.00 (eighty-four thousand/00) for the partial achievement of the objectives of the 2022 MBO plan. The business objective, represented by the budget EBIT (€39.104 million), was not achieved; the individual objectives were achieved by 100% (one hundred per cent);
    • the Director, Gianluca Beschi, accrued variable remuneration of €42,000.00 (forty-two thousand/00) for the partial achievement of the objectives of the 2022 MBO plan. The business objective, represented by the budget EBIT (€39.104 million), was not achieved; the individual objectives were achieved by 100% (one hundred per cent);
  • b) with reference to the annual variable incentive plan established for 2023, remuneration of €91,000.00 (ninety-one thousand/00) accrued in 2023, which will be paid in the financial year 2024. Specifically:
    • the Chief Executive Officer, Pietro Iotti, accrued variable remuneration of €49,000.00 (forty-nine thousand/00) for the partial achievement of the objectives of the 2023 MBO plan. The business objective, represented by the budget EBIT (€24.473 million), was not achieved; the individual objectives were achieved by 58.33% (fifty-eight point thirty-three per cent);
    • the Director, Gianluca Beschi, accrued variable remuneration of €42,000.00 (forty-two thousand/00) for the partial achievement of the objectives of the 2022 MBO plan. The business objective, represented by the budget EBIT (€24.473 million), was not achieved; the individual objectives were achieved by 100% (one hundred per cent);
  • c) with reference to the 2021-2023 stock incentive plan, whose beneficiaries include the Chief Executive Officer and Director Gianluca Beschi, rights to receive shares have been assigned in 2021, the allocation of which is subject to the achievement of company targets (based on EBITDA, ROI and sustainability targets) over the three-year period 2021 to 2023 consistent with the objectives of the business plan and on the continuation of the employment relationship with the beneficiary at the date of approval of the financial statements for the year 2023. For further details, please refer to the information contained in the Information Document prepared pursuant to Art. 114-bisof the TUF, of Art. 84-bis of Issuers' Regulations, submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting on 6 May 2021;

d) In compliance with point no. 3 of the 2021-20231 general remuneration policy, the Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Committee, resolved to pay a one-off bonus of €150,000.00 (one hundred and fifty thousand/00), equal to 42% (forty-two per cent) of the RAL, to the Chief Executive Officer who, in a particularly complex market context, made a fundamental contribution in the execution of the reserved capital increase of €17.3 million concluded in July 2023. The share capital increase was strategic as it was required to complete the acquisition of 51% (fifty-one percent) of Mansfield Engineered Components Ltd, which is essential to further penetrate the US market. The share capital increase secured the Group a major shareholder (Fulvio Montipò), with an entrepreneurial background and a long-term investment approach. Finally, the issue price of the new shares was at a premium, albeit a small one, compared to the average stock market price of Sabaf shares recorded in June 2023.

The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration paid during the 2023 financial year within the total remuneration of Executive Directors is as follows:

  • Chief Executive Officer Pietro Iotti: fixed remuneration 85% (eighty-five per cent), variable remuneration 15% (fifteen per cent);
  • Director Gianluca Beschi: fixed remuneration 87% (eighty-seven per cent), variable remuneration 13% (thirteen per cent).

The percentage of variable remuneration was calculated as the ratio between the total of the "Bonuses and other incentives" column and the "Total" column of Table 1 contained in the second part of this Report.

Note that, during 2023, with regard to executive directors:

  • no indemnity and/or other benefits were granted for the termination of office or termination of employment;
  • no ex-post correction mechanisms were applied to the variable remuneration component;
  • there were no departures from the remuneration policy.

1 According to the provisions of the General Remuneration Policy for the three-year period from 2021 to 2023, the one-off bonus decided by the Board of Directors could not exceed 50% (fifty per cent) of the RAL.

C.2.2. The remuneration of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities for 2023

The remuneration of the other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities (Technical Director and two Sales Managers) for the year 20232 was as follows:

  • c) with reference to the variable incentive plan (MBO) for 2023, remuneration totalling €36,462.00 (thirty-six thousand four hundred sixty-two/00) accrued for the partial achievement of the objectives of the 2023 MBO plan. Its payment is deferred and dependent upon the continuation of the employment relationship. The business objective, represented by the budget EBIT (€24.473 million), was not achieved; the individual objectives were achieved on average by 75% (seventy-five per cent);
  • d) with reference to the 2021-2023 stock incentive plan, whose beneficiaries include the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, rights to receive shares have been assigned in 2021, the allocation of which is subject to the achievement of company targets (based on EBITDA, ROI and sustainability targets) over the three-year period 2021 to 2023 consistent with the objectives of the business plan and on the continuation of the employment relationship with the beneficiary at the date of approval of the financial statements for the year 2023. For further details, please refer to the information contained in the Information Document prepared pursuant to Art. 114-bisof the TUF, of Art. 84-bis of Issuers' Regulations, submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting on 6 May 2021.

In 2023, remuneration totalling €63,000.00 (sixty-three thousand/00) was paid by subsidiaries to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration paid during the 2023 financial year within the total remuneration is as follows: fixed remuneration 91% (ninety-one per cent), variable remuneration 9% (nine per cent).

C.3 SECOND SUBSECTION: ANALYTICAL DATA OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2023 GENERAL REMUNERATION POLICY

For a breakdown of the remuneration paid in 2023, please refer to the tables below (Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3), which contain remuneration paid to Directors and Statutory Auditors, and, at the aggregate level, to other executives with strategic responsibilities, taking into account any office held for a fraction of a year. Remuneration received from subsidiaries and/or affiliates, with the exception of that waived or paid back to the Company, is also indicated separately.

With particular reference to Table 1, the column:

  • "Fixed remuneration" shows, for the portion attributable to 2023, the fixed remuneration approved by the Shareholders' meeting (and distributed with resolution of the Board of Directors), including the remuneration received for the carrying-out of special offices (pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3, Italian Civil Code; attendance fees as approved by the Shareholders' meeting; employee salaries due for the year gross of social security contributions and income taxes owed by the employee;
  • "Remuneration for attendance at Committee meetings", shows, for the portion relating to 2023, the remuneration due to directors who attended the meetings of the Committees set up within the Board of Directors and the related attendance fees;
  • "Bonus and other incentives" includes the variable remuneration accrued during the year, for monetary incentive plans. This value corresponds to the sum of the amounts provided in Table 3 in the "Bonus for the year - payable/paid", "Bonus of previous years - payable/paid" and "Other bonuses" columns";
  • "Non-monetary benefits" shows, according to accrual and tax liability criteria, the value of outstanding insurance policies and the company cars assigned;
  • "Other remuneration" shows, for the portion attributable to 2023, any other remuneration resulting from other services provided;
  • "Total" shows the sum of the amounts provided under the previous items.
  • For a breakdown of other items, see annex 3A, schedules 7-bis and 7-ter of Issuers' Regulations.

Table 2 shows the information relating to the stock grant plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and aimed at the Group's Executive Directors and managers who hold or will hold key positions in the implementation of the business plan. Specifically, the column:

  • "Financial instruments assigned in previous financial years not vested during the financial year" shows the financial instruments assigned in previous years and not vested during the year, indicating the vesting period;
  • "Financial instruments assigned during the financial year" shows the financial instruments assigned during the year, indicating the fair value at the assignment date, the vesting period, the assignment date and the market price at the assignment;
  • "Financial instruments vested during the year and not assigned" shows the number and type of instruments vested during the financial year and not assigned;
  • "Financial instruments vested during the year and attributable" contains information on instruments vested during the financial year of reference and attributable, indicating the value at the vesting date.

"Vesting period" means the period between the time when the right to participate in the incentive scheme is assigned and the time when the right accrues. Financial instruments vested during the financial year and not assigned are financial instruments for which the vesting period ended during the financial year and which were not assigned to the recipient for failure to meet the conditions under which the assignment of the instrument was conditional (for example, failure to meet performance targets).

The value at the vesting date is the value of the financial instruments accrued, even if not yet paid (for example, due to the presence of lock up clauses), at the end of the vesting period.

For a breakdown of other items, see annex 3A, schedules 7-bis and 7-ter of Issuers' Regulations.

Table 3 contains information on monetary incentive plans for members of the administration body and other executives with strategic responsibilities; in particular, it shows:

(a) For the section "Bonus for the year":

  • In the column "Payable/paid", the bonus accrued for the year for the objectives reached during the year and paid or payable because not subject to further conditions (known as upfront fee);
  • the column "Deferred" shows the bonus dependent on the objectives to be reached during the year but not payable because subject to further conditions (known as deferred bonus).
  • (b) for the section "Bonus of previous years"
  • the column "No longer payable" shows the sum of bonuses deferred in previous years still to be paid at the beginning of the financial year and no longer payable for failure to meet the conditions to which they are subject;
  • the column "Payable/Paid" shows the sum of bonuses deferred in previous years still to be paid at the beginning of the financial year and paid during the year or payable;
  • The column "Still deferred" shows the sum of bonuses deferred in previous years still to be paid at the beginning of the financial year and still deferred;
  • lastly, the column "Other bonuses" shows the bonuses for the year not explicitly included in specific ex ante defined plans.
