LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholders:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the LU-VE Group on the 2024 remuneration policy and on the remuneration paid in 2023, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for 29 April 2024. The Report - approved by the Board of Directors on 13 March 2024, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee I chair - was prepared in compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions of art. 123-ter of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 and art. 84-quater of Consob Issuers' Regulation and of the relative disclosure schedules, as amended and supplemented, in December 2020, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2017/828 (SHRD II), in compliance with the principles and recommendations dictated by the Corporate Governance Code to which LU-VE S.p.A. adheres.

The Remuneration Policy of the LU-VE Group proposed by the Board of Directors for the year 2024, though in strategic continuity with the one submitted to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, introduces important evolutions, also with regard to the changes made to the Group's organisational chart.

Since 2023, the Group has had a General Manager and during the year the Board of Directors approved a new Group organisation, resulting in the redefinition of certain managerial positions, both in the proxies for executive directors and in the identification of key management personnel. The new structure has been fully operational since the first few months of this year.

The proposed Remuneration Policy is consistent with the new organisational chart as regards the scope of application and the assignment of responsibilities. It also strengthens the objective of pursuing sustainable success, in line with the positive results achieved in 2023. This leads again to a significant variable component for Executive Directors, the General Manager and the Key management personnel, which can exceed 50% for Executive Directors if both the short-term (MBO) and medium-term (LTI) portion are considered, both including overperformance. Within this framework, significant emphasis remains (up to a maximum of 25% for the MBO and 10% for the LTI) on performance targets linked to ESG factors such as, in particular, emissions, and with a view to enhancing attention to the working conditions of Group employees and their safety, accident rate.

I believe it is appropriate, in the context of this necessary summary, to draw attention to some aspects of the 2024 Remuneration Policy set out in Section I of the Report. In particular, the 2024 Remuneration Policy:

  • takes into account the principles and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and was developed using benchmarks in order to be analitically in line with the LU-VE comparables identified;
  • remains well below the quantitative mandate resolved for the remuneration of the new Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 with reference to both the fixed component and the variable part (MBO and LTI, including overperformance); in particular, it was decided to confirm the nominal values identified in 2023 also for the current year, in compliance with the balance between objectives and incentives;

  • provides for maximum disbursement limits if the targets are exceeded. A higher ceiling of 20% of the target for EBITDA has been confirmed, while a ceiling of 10% remains for all other parameters;
  • envisages, in compliance with the relevant regulation, an update of the targets of the medium/long-term monetary incentive plan called "2023-2025 LTI Plan" ("LTI Plan"), in line with the 2024-2027 Business Plan approved by the Board of Directors. In particular, the targets of the performance objectives relating to the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions with the same consolidated EBITDA are confirmed, in line with the ESG policies and the actions identified in the Sustainability Plan, and the targets of the leverage reduction objectives in continuity with the positive results achieved in 2023, the first year of the LTI Plan. Growing targets are also defined for the Group's EBITDA and particularly challenging for the US subsidiary LU-VE US (formerly Zyklus);
  • confirms the allocation to the Chairman (who is also the Chief Executive Officer), the Vice Chairman (who qualifies as an Executive Director for the proxies attributed to him/her in the subsidiaries of strategic relevance SEST S.p.A. and SEST-LUVE-Polska s.p.zo.o.) and the Honorary Chairman (appointed by the new Board of Directors, pursuant to the statutory provision introduced by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, in the person of Prof. Marco Claudio Vitale, who is not a member of the new Board of Directors), of a fixed remuneration, specific to the office, on the values of the previous year and additional to in addition to the one provided for all the Directors and the one possibly attributed to them as Executive Directors;
  • requires the economic and financial parameters considered for the attribution of the short and medium-long term variable component to be conceived with the aim of incentivising the organic growth of the Company and the LU-VE Group by ensuring the necessary investments, while suitably reducing leverage in order to ensure future growth by external routes;
  • allows, in order to reward individual or collective results that are particularly significant for the Company and the Group, the possibility for the General Manager and Key Management Personnel to receive one-off monetary bonuses up to a maximum of 25% of the Gross Annual Remuneration for the period to which they relate, including amounts awarded for non-compete clauses. In particular, these one-off bonuses may be established by the Board, on the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer (formulated, for Key Management Personnel, in agreement with the General Manager) and subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.

The Remuneration Policy for 2024 of the LU-VE Group is designed as a whole to promote the attractiveness of talent and the retention of all personnel, with a view to consistency between powers and responsibilities. Last but not least, the Group is attentive to pursuing the general interest, balancing the interests of different stakeholders, the well-being of employees and respect for the environment in order to promote sustainable growth.

I think that the very detailed information included in the Report can allow investors to appreciate the consistency of the short, medium and long-term objectives and the adaptability of the motivational choices made in the evolutionary context of the LU-VE Group, in response to the environmental, cultural and macroeconomic conditions that characterise the period we are living through.

I hope that in reading the Report you can appreciate the work that has been done, which naturally draws on the activity of engagement and constant relations with investors.

Thank you also on behalf of the other members of the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors for your appreciation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy of the LU-VE Group as described in Section I of the Report, as well as for the disclosure of the remuneration paid in application of the 2023 Remuneration Policy set forth in detail in Section II of the Report.

SECTION I

2024 REMUNERATION POLICY

1. PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY

1.1. Purposes

The Remuneration Policy is defined on an annual basis, in accordance with the governance model adopted by the Company, according to the indications contained in the Corporate Governance Code.

The Remuneration Policy contributes to business strategy, to pursuing the long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company and of the Group, and in particular:

  • is targeted at adequately valuing the individual contribution of the managers to the Group's growth and development, by creating sustainable value in the medium/long-term;
  • constitutes a fundamental element for aligning the interests of shareholders and stakeholders with those of management;
  • is an essential tool for attracting, motivating and retaining personnel with the professional skills and individual qualities needed to achieve the strategies and the objectives of the LU-VE Group.

In fact, through the adoption of this Policy and its concrete implementation with respect to management figures, the Group intends to adopt an instrument that provides incentives, through both short-term and medium-long term variable incentive plans, for the Group resources in order to achieve the development objectives defined by the Board of Directors in relation to both economic growth and the creation of value, also in the long term, for shareholders and other relevant stakeholders, outlining a system that attributes ever greater importance to remuneration linked to the achievement of objectives defined according to balanced but challenging criteria, which highlight the Group's growing attention to sustainability issues and the pursuit of Sustainable Success.

The Group is increasingly committed to pursuing the integration of environmental, social and governance topics into company strategy, risk management and remuneration processes. With this in view, the Group has strengthened its sustainability supervision by creating a corporate Sustainability Steering Committee to share the progress of the Group's sustainability performance and discuss strategic lines of action, which are then shared by the CEO and the CSDO with the Control and Risk Committee for appropriate evaluation and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.

During 2023, the corporate Sustainability Steering Committee2 met on two occasions to assess the progress of the Sustainability Plan objectives and related actions, in line with the business plan.

With this in mind, when defining the Remuneration Policy, in the proposed MBOs and the 2023- 2025 LTI Plan, the presence of both parameters linked to accident indices, used for some time now, and a parameter linked to the reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions on a like-for-like basis in terms of consolidated EBITDA was confirmed, which can be traced back to ESG policies and actions identified in the Sustainability Plan, introduced for the first time for the 2023 MBOs and the 2023- 2025 LTI Plan.

1.2 General principles

The Remuneration Policy aims to create a remuneration system based on the principles of fairness, quality and proactiveness, a sense of belonging and the recognition of merit.

In defining said Policy, LU-VE adheres to the following principles set out in the Corporate Governance Code:

  • 1) the non-executive members of the Board of Directors receive a fixed annual remuneration, proportional to their professionalism and expertise, as well as the commitment required of them; directors members of Board committees are assigned not only a basic fee, but ad hoc compensation for the function performed in said committees;
  • 2) for the Executive Directors, for the General Manager and for Key management personnel:
    • (i) remuneration represents an incentive and is formed by a balance of fixed and variable components, in line with the strategic objectives and the risk management policy of the Company, also taking the characteristics of the Group and its past history, even recent, into account. Said remuneration is comprised by: (a) a fixed component, commensurate with the powers and responsibilities attributed, and sufficient to remunerate the performance of the Director, the General Manager or of the key manager in the event in which the variable component was not disbursed as a result of the non-achievement of the performance targets established; (b) a short-term variable component and (for the CEO, CSDO, General Manager, the Key management personnel and other managers hired by the Company or by another Group company) medium-long term, linked to the achievement of specific target, consistent with the development plan and the strategic objectives defined by the Board of Directors, some of which relate to sustainability topics;
    • (ii) the targets connected with the variable remuneration are predetermined, measurable and defined in such a way as to ensure, through diversified parameters, the remuneration of performance in both the short- and medium/long-term and based on the results

2 The Corporate Sustainability Steering Committee - consisting of the CEO, CSDO, General Manager, Chief Financial Officer, Investor Relator Manager, Sustainability Office and other company managers - was set up in 2022 to review the progress of the Group's sustainability performance and discuss strategic lines of action, which are then submitted by the Directors with proxy to the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors for appropriate assessment and resolutions.

achieved; these targets are set in accordance with the Company's strategic objectives and seek to promote Sustainable Success, by also including non-financial parameters;

  • (iii) variable remuneration envisages maximum payment limits in the event that the set performance target is achieved;
  • (iv) the part of medium/long-term variable remuneration envisages a time deferral for its payment, in accordance with the Group's characteristics and the nature of the targets set;
  • (v) provision is made for the periodic review of salary packages on the basis of the overall company and personal performance, the potential future development of the individual, working conditions and the competitiveness and attractiveness of salaries with respect to market values;
  • (vi) the fixed and variable short-term components are adjusted in relation to the characteristics of the role covered at the company and the responsibilities attributed, in order to ensure, in any event, the sustainability of company results and the creation of value for shareholders in the medium/long-term;
  • (vii) ex post correction mechanisms ("claw back" and "malus") are applied to the amounts accrued of the variable component;
  • (viii) benefits are recognised in line with the practices in the reference salary markets, in order to complete and enhance the total salary package, by taking account of the roles and/or responsibilities attributed;
  • (ix) provision is made for incentive mechanisms consistent with the tasks assigned for both the Manager of the Internal Audit function and the Financial Reporting Manager (who is also a Key Manager);
  • 3) members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are attributed a fixed fee by the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of their appointment. In order to contribute to ensuring that the fees of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are appropriate to their expertise, professionalism and commitment required by the importance of the position held and the Company's size and sector, as well as its situation, the Company provides the shareholders with the information reported by the Board of Statutory Auditors to the Board of Directors at the time of its renewal, regarding the activities performed during its mandate.

1.3 Scope of application and duration

The Remuneration Policy establishes the principles and guidelines which the Company adheres to and applies to Directors, Honorary Chairman, Statutory Auditors, General Manager, Key management personnel (including the Financial Reporting Manager) and the Manager of the Internal Audit function of LU-VE S.p.A.

In consideration of the corporate reorganisation underway following the appointment of the General Manager, the Board of Directors of the Company, at the meeting of 21 February 2024, identified as Key Managers: the Chief Financial & Legal Officer (who also holds the position of Financial Reporting Officer), the Chief Procurement Officer, the Chief Commercial Officer Components, the Chief Commercial Officer Cooling Systems, the Chief Technical & Innovation

Officer, the Innovation and Applied Research Director, the Nordic Cluster Managing Director and the Central-East EU Managing Cluster Director.

The Policy was drawn up in line with the requirements of art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, as well as art. 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation and the relative Annex 3A (schedule 7 bis, Section I) and of the recommendations set out in the Corporate Governance Code with regard to remuneration; when drawing up the Policy, also for the 2024 financial year, the recommendations with regard to remuneration made on the topic by the Corporate Governance Committee promoted by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the letter of 25 January 2023, which the chairman of said committee sent to the Company Chairman as well as the results of the "XI Report on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code" published by the Corporate Governance Committee on 14 December 2023, were also taken into account.

The Remuneration Policy refers to the 2024 financial year, and therefore has a duration of one year.

1.4 Changes with respect to the previous financial year

The Remuneration Policy proposed by the Board of Directors for 2024 is substantially in line with that submitted to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023, which approved it with a favourable vote of 83.60% of the Votes represented in the Shareholders' Meeting (corresponding to 77.38% of the total voting rights), thus expressing the approval of the absolute majority of Shareholders.

The new elements introduced are essentially attributable to some changes in the governance of LU-VE, and in particular to the introduction of the figure of the General Manager, and the Honorary Chairman, to the expansion of the number of Key Managers and the beneficiaries of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan.

Furthermore, following the change in the identification of the Key management personnel, it was deemed appropriate to provide that non-competition agreements should always be signed with these (which will be implemented in 2024 with reference to the Key management personnel that currently do not have them) and that so-called "golden parachute" clauses may be envisaged when hiring or amending the relevant contracts (see below, paragraph 3.8.1 of this Section I).

Compared to the previous year, the structure of the short-term variable component (MBO) of the Key management personnel was also revised, also in consideration of the ongoing Group reorganisation, changing the weight of the individual categories of performance objectives, the percentages of entry points and overperformance and the calculation scale (see below, paragraph 3.5.3 of this Section I).

Lastly, it should be noted that, following the approval of the Group's new 2024-2027 business plan and the 2024-2030 LU-VE US business plan, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to adjust the targets of some parameters set by the 2023-2025 LTI Plan for the years 2024-2025, so as to continue to guarantee the incentive function of the plan itself (in this regard, please refer to paragraph 3.6 of this Section I below).

For the purposes of defining this Policy, taking into account the internal analyses carried out for the definition of the 2023 remuneration policy, the benchmark data relating to the Chairman/CEO and the CSDO were taken from the analysis of remuneration positioning (marketing assessment) carried

out by OD&M Consulting, a company specialised in remuneration analysis, on a sample of 52 Italian companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, belonging to the industrial sector and homogeneous with regard to size and complexity both in terms of turnover and number of employees.

The Board of Directors, having examined and approved the Policy, submits it to the Shareholders' Meeting for a binding vote, pursuant to and in accordance with art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, making it available to the public at least 21 days before the date of the Shareholders' Meeting on its website and with the other means envisaged by current legislation.

For the purposes of preparing this Policy, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, in the exercise of its duties, met to define its structure and contents in the meetings of 15 January 2024, 9 and 26 February 2024 and 4 March 2024.

The Policy was then submitted to the Board of Directors for approval on 13 March 2024, together with the other parts of this Report.

3. POLICY DESCRIPTION

3.1 Remuneration of members of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, and art. 15.6 of LU-VE's articles of association in force, the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 established, for the three-year period 2023-2025: (i) the total maximum amount of fixed remuneration to be attributed for each calendar year of the three-year mandate to all Directors as Euro 2,000,000, including the fixed remuneration to be attributed to those vested with special roles, as well as the remuneration to be attributed to the members of the committees that the Board of Directors will decide to establish within it, and (ii) the total maximum amount of variable remuneration as Euro 2,000,000, to be attributed to the Directors vested with special roles for each calendar year of the three-year mandate, giving a mandate to the Board of Directors to divide it between the Directors based on the activities performed for the Company.

At the meeting on 12 May 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to attribute, for the entire threeyear period in office, to each member of the Board an annual fixed remuneration to be paid pro rata temporis (see below, Section II, Part One, point 1.1 of this Report).

3.1.1 Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

The Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company and submitted to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting envisages, in observance of the principles and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, a fixed fee for the office of Director and an additional fixed fee, supplemented, if necessary, by an additional fee as an attendance bonus for meetings, for participation in the committees set up within the Board of Directors, proportional to the commitment such entailed.

The fee for participation in each of the Committees that the Board of Directors has established internally, was established by the same Board at the meeting on 12 May 2023, establishing for the entire three-year period 2023-2025 the recognition of an annual amount for each member, set so that the maximum total amount resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the fixed remuneration of all Directors (see below, Section II, Part One, point 1.1.1 of this Report).

No variable fees were allocated to the Non-Executive Directors.

3.1.2 Remuneration of the Chairman and Vice Chairman

The Remuneration Policy envisages the attribution to the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of a fixed remuneration, specific for the office, in addition to the one envisaged for all the Directors in general and any remuneration attributed to them in their capacity as Executive Directors.

The remuneration for both of these roles was established by the Board of Directors at the meeting of 12 May 2023 (see below, Section II, Part One, point 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 of this Report).

3.1.3 Remuneration of Executive Directors

The Remuneration Policy envisages a fee for the Executive Directors, based on the commitment required of them.

This remuneration, established by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, after hearing the Board of Statutory Auditors, is set in accordance with

the amounts established by the Shareholders' Meeting, and with the principles of this Policy, for both the fixed and variable components. The remuneration proposal was formulated by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, also taking into account the principles and recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code as well as that which emerged from the analyses conducted with regard to the benchmarks examined (see above, paragraph 2.7 of this Section I); the reason for this is to assign a remuneration package that is in line with market values for similar positions.

The structure of the remuneration to be attributed to the Executive Directors consists of:

  • (i) a fixed component which guarantees an adequate and certain basic remuneration for the activity performed, and which is established in consideration of the role and of the activity performed for the Company as well as of the responsibilities attributed;
  • (ii) a short-term variable component ("MBO") linked to the attainment of specific performance targets (for more details, refer to the content of paragraph 3.5.1 of this Section I);
  • (iii) a medium/long-term variable component ("LTI") is only applicable to Directors with Proxy (CEO and CSDO), also linked to the attainment of preset performance targets, defined in quantitative terms (for more details, refer to the content of paragraph 3.6. of this Section I).

For Executive Directors, the fixed component of the remuneration remunerates the position held in terms of the scope of the responsibilities and the business impact, reflecting the experience, skills and expertise required for each position, as well as the overall quality of the contribution to the business results.

The variable component of the remuneration is targeted at recognising the results achieved by the Executive Directors, establishing a link between fees and performance. With a view to enhancing the achievement of long-term sustainable value, also through the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors - on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors - has identified targets that are able not only to direct the behaviour of the Executive Directors towards results, such as turnover, which are more closely linked to annual performance, but also to build the foundations for a future sustainable and balanced growth: (a) from an economic standpoint, in terms of profitability (EBITDA) and debt to profitability ratio (NFP/EBITDA); (b) with regard to strategic development (with the inclusion of the profitability (EBITDA) of the US subsidiary LU-VE US (formerly called Zyklus); (c) for the well-being of the people that work in the Group, also due to the inclusion in the MBOs of the Executive Directors, of parameters linked to the rate of accidents, with a view to heightening awareness of the working conditions of Group employees and their safety; and finally (d) with regard to commitment in the area of sustainability, with the introduction among the targets of parameters related to the reduction of direct emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) given the same consolidated EBITDA.

Short-term incentives (MBO) are also defined in light of the specific features of the individual roles held by Executive Directors, while medium to long-term incentives (LTI) addressed to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Strategic Development Officer (CSDO) are structured in a unitary form, so as to align interests with the creation of value for the Group in the medium/long term.

Maximum limits are established for both the variable component to be paid, for both MBOs and LTI. The following paragraphs illustrate, for the Executive Directors, the paymix range, or the percentage weight of the different components with respect to total remuneration. In this regard, it should be

clarified that the percentages of the short-term variable component (MBO) and of the medium/long-term variable component (LTI) have been calculated at their minimum value, assuming failure to reach the entry points, for both MBO and LTI and, at their maximum value, assuming results including the over-performances set for MBO and LTI.

In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, the application of a "clawback" clause is envisaged for the variable component of the Remuneration of Executive Directors (which envisages the return of all or part of the amounts paid), as well as a "malus" clause (which envisages the non-payment of remuneration accrued but not yet paid), when said amounts paid or accrued have been determined on the basis of data which, in the subsequent three years, has proven to be materially incorrect, or the result of manipulation or illegal conduct.

3.2 Remuneration of the Honorary Chairman

The Remuneration Policy provides for the attribution to the Honorary Chairman of a fixed remuneration for this role to be established by the Board of Directors.

The remuneration for the Honorary Chairman currently in office - which was identified outside the members of the Board of Directors - was established by the Board itself at the meeting of 12 May 2023 (see below, Section II, Part One, point 1.2 of this Report).

3.3 Remuneration of the General Manager

The remuneration of the General Manager consists of the following elements:

(i) an annual fixed component ("RAL"), defined according to the chosen positioning in relation to the target market, which guarantees an adequate and certain basic remuneration for the activity performed, established in consideration of the role and of the activity performed for the Company as well as of the responsibilities attributed, the professional level and expertise.

This salary component may be adjusted over time, in keeping with the evolution of the market, by evaluating the abilities and professional skills acquired and the results achieved and potential developed.

Considering the importance of the position held, the fixed component includes amounts awarded for non-compete clauses, the amount of which is proportional to the duration and the constraints envisaged in said clause;

  • (ii) a short-term annual variable component ("MBO") which can be achieved when predefined company objectives are met, defined in quantitative terms with reference to the role covered in the company (for more details, please refer to the paragraph 3.5.2 below), to be disbursed without deferment of the sums accrued;
  • (iii) a medium/long-term annual variable component ("LTI") which can be achieved when predefined company objectives are met, defined in quantitative terms (for more details, please refer to the paragraph 3.6 of this Section I).

Also for the General Manager, the fixed component of remuneration rewards the role held in terms of scope of responsibilities and impact on the business, while the variable component of remuneration is aimed at recognising the results achieved, establishing a link between remuneration and performance.

The purpose of the short-term incentives (MBO) is to award the attainment of quantitative and qualitative objectives, also defined in light of the specific nature of the role covered by the General Manager and based on the business plan of the Group. The medium/long-term incentives (LTI) are structured in a way as to align the interests of all individuals involved with the creation of value for the Group in the medium to long-term.

Maximum limits are established for both the variable component to be paid, for both MBOs and LTI.

For the General Manager, the following may be further envisaged: (i)non-monetary benefits (see below, paragraph 3.7 of this Section I); (ii) on the occasion of recruitment, a one-off entry bonus; (iii) additional one-off monetary bonuses, established by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the CEO, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, up to a maximum of 25% of the Gross Annual Remuneration relating to the reference period, including the amounts awarded for non-compete clauses, to reward individual or collective results that are particularly significant for the Company and for the Group (such as, but not limited to, the finalisation of M&A transactions or significant and/or extraordinary transactions or projects during the year) that are of significant importance for the development of the Group or one of its divisions).

The following paragraphs illustrate the paymix range for the General Manager, or the percentage weight of the different components with respect to total remuneration. In this regard, it should be clarified that the percentages of the short-term variable component (MBO) and of the medium/long-term variable component (LTI) have been calculated: (i) at their minimum value, assuming failure to reach the entry points, for both MBO and LTI and, (ii) at their maximum value, assuming results including the over-performances set for MBO and LTI.

In the paymix described above, any additional amounts attributed as a one-off bonus were not considered.

In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, the application of a "clawback" clause is envisaged for the variable component of the Remuneration of the General Manager (which envisages the return of all or part of the amounts paid), as well as a "malus" clause (which envisages the non-payment of remuneration accrued but not yet paid), when said amounts paid or accrued have been determined on the basis of data which, in the subsequent three years, has proven to be materially incorrect, or the result of manipulation or illegal conduct.

3.4 Remuneration of Key management personnel

The Remuneration of Key management personnel of the company is composed of the following elements:

(i) an annual fixed component ("RAL") which is defined on the basis of the prechosen positioning with respect to the reference market, the levels of responsibility and complexity managed, as well as the professional skills, experience and growth potential of the individual.

This salary component is adjusted over time, in keeping with the evolution of the market, by evaluating the abilities and professional skills acquired and the results achieved and potential developed.

In view of the importance of the role played, employment contracts with Key management personnel may include non-compete clauses under which: (i) the fixed component may include amounts awarded for non-compete clauses, the amount of which is commensurate with the duration and constraints of the clauses; or (ii)specific pre-determined amounts may be paid upon termination of employment with the Group, commensurate with the duration and constraints of the clauses;

  • (ii) a short-term annual variable component ("MBO") which can be achieved when predefined company objectives are met, defined in quantitative terms with reference to the role covered in the company (for more details, please refer to the paragraph 3.5.3 of this Section I), to be disbursed without deferment of the sums accrued;
  • (iii) a medium/long-term annual variable component ("LTI") which can be achieved when predefined company objectives are met, defined in quantitative terms (for more details, please refer to the paragraph 3.6 of this Section I).

Also for Key management personnel, the fixed component of the remuneration remunerates the role covered in terms of the scope of the responsibilities and the business impact, reflecting the experience, skills and expertise required for each position, as well as the overall quality of the contribution to the business results.

The variable component of the remuneration is targeted at recognising the results achieved by management, establishing a link between fees and performance.

The purpose of the short-term incentives (MBO) is to award the attainment of quantitative and qualitative objectives, also defined in light of the specific nature of the roles covered by the Key management personnel within the organisation. The medium/long-term incentives (LTI) are structured in a unitary form, so as to align the interests of all individuals involved with the creation of value for the Group in the medium to long-term.

Maximum limits are established for both the variable component to be paid, for both MBOs and LTI.

For Key management personnel, the following may be further envisaged: (i) non-monetary benefits (see below, paragraph 3.7 of this Section I); (ii) on the occasion of recruitment, a one-off entry bonus; (iii) additional one-off monetary bonuses, established by the Board of Directors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, on the proposal of the CEO, formulated in agreement with the General Manager, up to a maximum of 25% of the Gross Annual Remuneration relating to the reference period, including the amounts awarded for noncompete clauses, to reward individual or collective results that are particularly significant for the Company and for the Group (such as, but not limited to, the finalisation of M&A transactions or significant and/or extraordinary transactions or projects during the year) that are of significant importance for the development of the Group or one of its divisions).

Key management personnel may be assigned, directly by the Group's subsidiaries, remuneration for top management roles covered within the same.

The following paragraphs illustrate, for all Key management personnel, the cumulative paymix range or the percentage weight of the different components with respect to total remuneration. In this regard, it should be clarified that the percentage of average values of the short-term variable component (MBO) and of the medium/long-term variable component (LTI) have been calculated, at their minimum value, assuming failure to reach the entry points, for both MBO and LTI, at their maximum value, assuming results including the over-performances set for MBO and LTI.

MAX 69% 20% 11%

The paymix described above does not include any additional amounts attributed as a one-off bonus, nor any remuneration attributed for any offices held in the management bodies of the same.

In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, the application of a "clawback" clause is envisaged for the variable component of the Remuneration of Key management personnel (which envisages the return of all or part of the amounts paid), as well as a "malus" clause (which envisages the non-payment of remuneration accrued but not yet paid), when said amounts paid or accrued have been determined on the basis of data which, in the subsequent three years, has proven to be materially incorrect, or the result of manipulation or illegal conduct.

3.4.1 Remuneration of the Manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports (Financial Reporting Manager)

The remuneration of the Financial Reporting Manager is determined, in observance of the aforementioned guidelines laid down for the remuneration of Key management personnel, consistently with the duties assigned to him and is based on the approach to the attribution and determination of remuneration applied for Key management personnel.

3.5 Short-term incentives: the annual variable component (MBO)

The MBO incentive represents the annual variable component of the remuneration of the Executive Directors, General Management and Key management personnel (also including the Financial Reporting Manager), which can be achieved on attainment of predefined annual objectives, both quantitative and qualitative, and individual/qualitative (and therefore linked to the qualitative assessment of individual performance). Said variable component is able to:

  • (i) focus the action of management towards strategic objectives in keeping with the priorities set by the Board of Directors;
  • (ii) motivate the contribution of each individual to not only financial indicators, but also financial and sustainability ones through an incentive;
  • (iii) motivate both the achievement of targets awarding a part of the fee even if the assigned target is not fully achieved, but an "entry point" is passed - and exceeding them - awarding an additional amount in the event of overperformance. The Remuneration Policy both for Executive Directors and for Key management personnel therefore envisages that all objectives are linked to a performance scale, with a minimum objective, below which the Company does not pay any remuneration component, and with a maximum objective, above which the Company will always pay the maximum amount established.

3.5.1 Annual variable component for Executive Directors

Taking into account the tasks and responsibilities assigned to each beneficiary, the quantitative MBO objectives established for Executive Directors are represented by:

  • consolidated EBITDA (50%)
  • consolidated TURNOVER (10%)
  • NET FINANCIAL POSITION/EBITDA RATIO (25% and, for the CSDO only, 15%).

The remaining 15% and, for the CSDO only, 25% of the short-term variable component is linked to the achievement of sustainability objectives:

  • ACCIDENT RATE (10%, and for the CSDO only, 15%) to be recorded during 2024, considered from three different points of view (at overall Group level, in the Italian facilities and in European ones), to be evaluated on the basis of the trend in the accident ratios, such as rate, frequency and severity;

  • REDUCTION OF SCOPE 1 AND SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS given the same consolidated EBITDA (5% and, for the CSDO only, 10%).

With regard to the aforementioned performance objectives, it should be noted that:

  • for the "Net Financial Position (NFP)/EBITDA ratio", the performance scale should be read in opposite terms (meaning the target is lower indebtedness).
  • for the "Reduction of emissions", incentives are given to increase the ratio between consolidated EBITDA and total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, i.e. profitability per unit of issue with respect to a reference base value.

The weight of the MBO (expressed in percentage terms) linked to the short-term results with respect to the total remuneration approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, and having consulted the Board of Statutory

Auditors, cannot exceed a maximum of 38% for the CEO and the CSDO and 53% for any other Executive Directors.

The amount of the MBO to be paid to Executive Directors will be calculated on the basis of the assessment criteria shown in the following tables:

2024 MBO TARGETS

To check whether the performance targets have been attained, reference will be made to the data of the Annual Financial Report and the sustainability reporting of the LU-VE S.p.A. Group relating to the year of reference, net of any non-recurring components and any variable emoluments accrued by Executive Directors, as approved by the competent corporate bodies. As for turnover, the data that will be considered is that relating to product turnover.

3.5.2 Annual variable component for the General Manager

Taking into account the tasks and responsibilities assigned to the General Manager, the quantitative MBO objectives are represented by:

  • consolidated EBITDA (50%)
  • consolidated TURNOVER (10%)
  • NET FINANCIAL POSITION/EBITDA RATIO (25%).

The remaining 15% of the short-term variable component is linked to the achievement of sustainability objectives:

  • ACCIDENT RATE (10%) to be recorded during 2024, considered from three different points of view (at overall Group level, in the Italian facilities and in European ones), to be evaluated on the basis of the trend in the accident ratios, such as rate, frequency and severity;

  • REDUCTION OF SCOPE 1 AND SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS given the same consolidated EBITDA (5%).

With regard to the aforementioned performance objectives, it should be noted that:

  • for the "Net Financial Position (NFP)/EBITDA ratio", the performance scale should be read in opposite terms (meaning the target is lower indebtedness);
  • for the "Reduction of emissions", incentives are given to increase the ratio between consolidated EBITDA and total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, i.e. profitability per unit of issue with respect to a reference base value.

For the General Manager, the weight of the MBO (expressed as a percentage) with respect to the Gross Annual Remuneration, including the amounts awarded for non-compete clauses, cannot exceed a maximum of 22%.

The amount of the MBO to be paid to the General Manager will be calculated on the basis of the assessment criteria shown in the following table:

3.5.3 Annual variable component for Key management personnel

For Key management personnel, the weight of the MBO (expressed in percentage terms) with respect to the Gross Annual Remuneration, including the amounts awarded for non-compete clauses, cannot exceed a maximum of 20%.

The amount of the MBO to be paid to Key management personnel will be calculated on the basis of the assessment criteria shown in the following table:

3.6 Medium/long-term incentives

At its meeting of 14 March 2023, the Board, having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors, positively considered the 2023-2025 LTI Plan Guidelines formulated by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee in agreement with the CEO and CSDO for the part falling within their competence, for a medium/long-term monetary incentive plan called 2023-2025 LTI Plan aimed at the Directors with Proxy (CEO and CSDO), the General Manager, Key management personnel and, possibly, selected Group managers.

Following the favourable vote cast by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 on the remuneration policy proposed for the 2023 financial year, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors, in its meeting of 12 May 2023, approved the Regulations of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan, defining the targets for each of the performance objectives envisaged by the Plan itself and also identifying the beneficiaries, the list of which was then supplemented, on the proposal of the CEO and favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, on 28 November 2023 and 13 March 2024; at the meeting held on 13 March 2024, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee shared for the part falling under its competence with the CEO, and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors as regards the Directors with Proxy, also updated the targets initially set for some of the performance objectives envisaged by the Plan (see below).

In line with the founding principles of the Remuneration Policy, the purpose of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan is:

  • to enable a correlation between management remuneration and value creation for shareholders in the medium/long-term, combining growth with sustainability;
  • to focus management on achieving the Group's three-year objectives;
  • to ensure the motivation and retention of the General Manager and Key management personnel as well as of other Group managers, by linking the economic incentive of the Plan to the continuation of employment with the Group.

The 2023-2025 LTI Plan:

  • is addressed to the Directors with Proxy (CEO and CSDO), General Manager, Key management personnel, and, where applicable, a limited number of Group Managers identified by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the CEO, following consultation with the Remuneration and Appointments Committee;
  • to award a cash bonus based on the achievement of the Group's performance objectives in the three-year period of 2023-2025 (three-year vesting period), whose payment is conditional: (i) for the Directors with Proxy, on their remaining in office as at 31 December 2025, and (ii) for the General Manager and Key management personnel as well as other manager beneficiaries, on remaining in employment for the entire three-year period of 2023-2025.

The performance objectives that must be achieved for the payment of the cash bonus, have been identified by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors as the following parameters and weights:

  • consolidated EBITDA (cumulative three-year value)– 50%;
  • consolidated TURNOVER (cumulative three-year value)– 20%;
  • NET FINANCIAL POSITION/EBITDA RATIO (average value for the three-year period and value for 2025) – 15%;
  • EBITDA of the subsidiary LU-VE US (formerly named Zyklus) (three-year cumulative value) 5%;

  • REDUCTION OF SCOPE 1 AND SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS given the same consolidated EBITDA – 10%.

The Regulation of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan includes the possibility for the set targets to be adjusted in case of significant changes to the Group (e.g. significant acquisitions and disposals) or other extraordinary events, at the resolution of the Board of Directors taken on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors to the extent of its competence.

At the end of the three-year period, the Board of Directors will verify the achievement of the targets, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, following consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Directors with Proxy, and on the proposal of the CEO, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, for the other beneficiaries.

The target of each of the above-mentioned performance objectives was established by the Board of Directors initially at the meeting on 12 May 2023, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, following consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Directors with Proxy, and on the proposal of the CEO, having head the opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, for the other beneficiaries. In particular, said targets were identified: (i) in relation to the reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, given the same EBITDA, based on the Sustainability Plan; (ii) in relation to the EBITDA of LU-VE US (formerly named Zyklus), based on the data of the 2023-2028 business plan of LU-VE US (formerly named Zyklus), approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2023, as well as (iii) in relation to all other objectives, on the basis of the data of the 2023-2026 business plan of the Group approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2023.

Subsequently, the Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors as to the Directors with Proxy, in its meeting of 13 March 2024, updated the performance targets for Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Turnover and EBITDA of LU-VE US (formerly known as Zyklus), to take into account the changes in the data relating to the same indicators contained in the Group's 2024-2027 Business Plan and LU-VE US 2024-2030 Business Plan, approved by the Board of Directors on 21 February 2024. This amendment was appropriate to continue to pursue the incentivising function of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan.

The Board of Directors, on the proposal of the CEO and favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, supplemented the list of beneficiaries at the meeting of 28 November 2023, to take into account the identification of the CCO Cooling System as Key management personnel, and subsequently again at the meeting of 13 March 2024, to take into account the appointment as Key management personnel of the Chief Technical & Innovation Officer and the Managing Directors of the Nordic and Central-East EU Clusters, as well as identifying another Group executive as the beneficiary. More specifically, the amount of the cash bonus to be paid to each beneficiary will be calculated on the basis of the assessment criteria shown in the following table, taking into account the conditions contained in the Regulation of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan:

PERFORMANCE TARGETS WEIGHT ENTRY POINT TARGET LEVEL MAX. LEVEL MAX. WEIGHT

total 100.00% 90.00% 100.00% 115.50% 115.50%

* For interim results, the calculation is linear.

The cash bonus for each of the performance objectives indicated above will be paid only if:

(i) the EBITDA for each of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 ("Annual EBITDA") has reached at least 90% of the target EBITDA ("Target EBITDA") for at least two of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 and Cumulative EBITDA for the three years ("Cumulative EBITDA") has reached at least 90% of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 cumulative EBITDA target ("Cumulative Target EBITDA");

(ii) the turnover for each of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 ("Annual Turnover") has reached at least 90% of the target turnover ("Target Turnover") for at least two of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 and the cumulative turnover of the three years ("Cumulative Turnover") has reached at least 90% of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 cumulative target turnover ("Cumulative Target Turnover");

(iii) in the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025, the average of the ratio between the net financial position for each of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 ("Annual NFP") and the Annual EBITDA does not exceed 110% of 1.41 (average) of the objectives of the 2023-2025 Business Plan) and the ratio between Annual NFP and Annual EBITDA in 2025 (last year of the Plan), is not higher than 110% of the average value of 1.41;

(iv) the EBITDA of LU-VE US (formerly known as Zyklus) relating to each of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 ("LUVE US Annual EBITDA") has reached at least 90% of the LU-VE US (formerly called Zyklus) target EBITDA ("LU-VE US Target EBITDA") for at least two of the financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025 and the LU-VE US (formerly Zyklus) cumulative EBITDA for the three years ("LU-VE US cumulative EBITDA") has reached at least 90% of the LU-VE US (formerly Zyklus) cumulative target EBITDA 2023, 2024 and 2025 ("LU-VE US Cumulative Target EBITDA");

(v) the average value of the ratio between the annual Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and the Annual EBITDA in the three-year period was no higher than 110% of 273 (average of the targets for the reduction of the aforementioned emissions for the performance period compared to the base year 2022) and the ratio between Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2025 and Annual EBITDA in 2025 did not exceed 110% of the average value of 273.

No additional portion will be paid with respect to the cash bonus already accrued if (i) the Cumulative EBITDA exceeds 120% of the Cumulative Target EBITDA; and/or (ii) the Cumulative Turnover exceeds 110% of the Cumulative Target Turnover; and/or (iii) the ratio between the 2025 Annual NFP and the 2025 Annual EBITDA is 10% lower than the average value of 1.41; (iv) and/or the LU-VE US Cumulative EBITDA exceeds 120% of the LU-VE US Cumulative EBITDA; (v) the ratio between Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2025 and Annual EBITDA in 2025 is more than 10% lower than the average value of 273.

The Regulation of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan also envisages, subject to the justified proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors with regard to the Directors with Proxy, and based on the motivated proposal of the CEO, consulting the Remuneration and Appointments Committee for the other beneficiaries, grant the Board of Directors the power to allow the payment of the cash bonus, even if the performance targets are partially achieved or not achieved, to an extent that the Board of Director shall define.

For the Directors with Proxy, the weight of the LTI (expressed in percentage terms) linked to the medium/long-term results and the short-term variable component (MBO) cannot exceed a maximum of 53% of the total remuneration (calculated at the maximum value assuming that the results including the overperformance set are attained).

For the purposes of verifying the achievement of the performance objectives, reference will be made to the data in the Annual Financial Reports, inclusive of the sustainability reports, of the LU-VE Group relating to each year of the three-year period 2023-2025 and the related preparatory documentation, purified by any extraordinary components and any variable remuneration accrued by the Executive Directors, as approved by the competent corporate bodies. As for turnover, the data that will be considered is that relating to product turnover.

For the General Manager and Key management personnel, the weight of the LTI (expressed in percentage terms) with respect to the Gross Annual Remuneration, including the amounts awarded for non-compete clauses, received with reference to each individual year of the vesting period, cannot exceed a maximum of 12% (calculated at the maximum value assuming that the results including the overperformance set are attained); the total cash bonus (base 100) will correspond to 11% of the Gross Annual Remuneration received by each of the above beneficiaries, for each year of the three-year period.

The Gross Annual Remuneration will take into account only the fixed remuneration items and any amounts awarded for non-compete clauses; therefore, any variable amounts paid to the beneficiary (such as, but not limited to, MBO, any indemnities, extra bonuses, etc.) will not be taken into account in the calculation basis.

This incentive percentage is increasing in relation to the role held and therefore this determination will be made by taking into account the strategic relevance of the position of each Beneficiary within the organisational structure of the Company and/or the other Group companies and the impact on the business of the individual beneficiary's role, on the pursuit of company results and the achievement of performance objectives.

At the end of the three-year vesting period, the Plan envisages the award, by the end of May 2026, of 60% of the bonus accrued and the deferral of the remaining portion of 40% at the end of December 2026 (namely 12 months after the end of the financial year in which performance was measured).

3.7 Non-monetary benefits

With the objective of ensuring an overall remuneration offer which is as competitive and aligned to best practices as possible, the salary package of the Directors with Proxy, the General Manager and of the Key management personnel is completed with non-monetary benefits (e.g. company car, even for personal use), with the goal of supplementing the salary package components in kind consistent with the status of the beneficiary, as well as forms of supplementary insurance with the aim, broadly speaking, of protecting the beneficiary's well-being. In addition to insurance cover for life, permanent disability from illness and accidents, including non-professional, on travel risks, the company offers subscription to a fund for the reimbursement of supplementary healthcare costs (which also covers the household), which augments that envisaged by FASI (Supplementary Healthcare Assistance Fund for managers of companies that produce goods and services and their families).

In line with the best practice, a policy was also stipulated to cover the third party civil liability of company bodies (including the Board of Statutory Auditors), the General Manager, the Key management personnel, executives and senior managers (so-called D&O - Directors&Officers Liability). This is in order to indemnify the persons referred to above from the expenses deriving from the performance of their respective functions (excluding cases of wilful misconduct and gross negligence) for compensation of damages.

Lastly, for the General Manager and for certain Key management personnel and executives who work in Group companies, in specific cases, other benefits may be envisaged, such as, for example, the payment of expenses for home services and/or school expenses for their children.

3.8 Indemnity in case of termination of office or termination of the employment relationship.

3.8.1 Indemnity

As at the date of this Report, no provision is made for any indemnity in the case of the termination of office of Executive Directors, or in the event of the termination of the employment relationship with Key management personnel.

With regard to the General Manager and the Key management personnel, the Company makes a quarterly payment (20 January; 20 April; 20 July; 20 October) to the supplementary pension fund chosen by the executive in accordance with the (National Collective Contract applied for industry executives), equal to the percentage of the severance benefit accrued and the additional contribution envisaged contractually.

Furthermore, based on the applicable collective bargaining agreements, if the employer terminates the employment relationship, the executive has the right to a notice period (which increases with years of service); if the notice period is not respected, the company must pay the indemnity corresponding to the notice period not granted. If the termination of the employment relationship is declared as unjustified, the executive has the right to an additional indemnity, which also increases with years of service, based on regulatory provisions. In the event of a challenge by the Key management personnel of the termination communicated by the employer, the Company may initiate negotiations aimed at an out-of-court settlement of the challenge, in order to avoid the emergence of potentially lengthy and costly legal disputes, always having as its primary objective to guarantee the Company's interest.

For the General Manager and for Key management personnel, in the event the Company terminates the employment relationship for reasons not inherent to just cause, the individual agreements reached with each one of them may envisage, in addition to the direct and indirect amounts accrued and the contractual notice period, the payment of an additional amount equal to maximum fifteen months of the Gross Annual Remuneration.

3.8.2 Effects on rights assigned as regards monetary incentive plans

● Short-term incentives (MBO)

The right to the annual variable component of remuneration (MBO) and to the relative cash payment is usually forfeited in the event of termination of employment, on the initiative of either the beneficiary or the company, in the year of reference. For the General Manager and the Key management personnel, the accrual and the payment of the variable MBO component is conditional on still being in employment on 31 January of the year following the reference year.

There may be more restrictive clauses envisaged in individual contracts, and equally more favourable conditions may be agreed at the time of the termination of employment.

● Medium/long-term incentives (2023-2025 LTI)

The Regulation of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan envisages:

  • that the right to receive the bonus, even on a pro-rata basis, is forfeited, if at the end of the vesting period the beneficiary is no longer in employment with the Company or with a company belonging to the Group for whatsoever reason, or is in a notice period, that is worked or otherwise, or in similar circumstances that may be applicable by law or by contract;
  • the power of the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Directors with Proxy, and on the proposal of the CEO, after consulting the Remuneration and Appointments Committee for the other beneficiaries - to assess, at its discretion, whether the bonus should be fully or partly paid, in the event in which the relevant employment relationship is terminated due to: (i) expiry of the mandate as Company director; (ii) consensual termination by mutual consent; (iii) access by the beneficiary to a pension fund, contribution for years of service or for invalidity on condition that this leads to a termination of employment; as well as in cases of: (iv) dismissal justified by objective reasons (for the category of executives included in the notion of justification); (v) resignation for just cause; (vi) dismissal due to exceeding the compulsory period;
  • the payment of the bonus to the beneficiary (or to his/her legitimate heirs or to those entitled) in the event of the termination of the relevant employment relationship due to death or a debilitating event, such that the beneficiary can no longer continue working, for the period between the start date of participation in the plan and the date on which employment ended.

3.9 Remuneration of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors

In respect of the statutory provisions, the remuneration of the standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 established, for the 2023-2025 three-year period, the fee of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors at Euro 45,000 (forty-five thousand) per annum, and the fee for each Standing Auditor at Euro 30,000 (thirty thousand) per annum, also considering the content of the report drawn up by the departing Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to the "Rules of conduct of the Board of Statutory Auditors of listed companies" (edition of 26 April 2018), issued by the Board of Professional Accountants and Auditors, referring in particular to Rule Q.1.6., "Remuneration" (see below, Section II, Part One, point 1.3 of this Report).

3.10 Remuneration of the Manager of the Internal Audit function

For the sake of transparency, the remuneration of the Manager of the Internal Audit function is comprised by a fixed component and a short-term variable component (MBO), consistent with the functions assigned by the Board of Directors, allocated on the proposal of the CEO, with the approval of the Control and Risk Committee, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The procedures for attributing and determining the short-term variable component are identified in observance of the general principles set out in the Remuneration Policy.

3.11 Permitted exemptions to this policy

In the event of Exceptional Circumstances (meaning, by way of example but not limited to such): (i) the need to replace or enter an Executive Director or a Key Manager, due to unforeseen events and/or based on the development of the Group, and to have to rapidly negotiate a remuneration package, where the restrictions imposed by the approved Policy could limit the Company's opportunity to attract managers with the appropriate expertise to manage the business; (ii) significant changes in the scope of the business activity during the validity of the Remuneration Policy, such as the sale of a business/division on which the performance targets of the Remuneration Policy were based, or the acquisition of a significant business not contemplated in the preparation of said Policy; (iii) the occurrence, at national or international level, of extraordinary and unforeseeable events, regarding the Company and/or the sectors and/or the markets it operates in, which have a significant impact on the Company's results, the Board of Directors may exempt the following elements of this Policy, in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay in the market:

  • performance targets and/or respective weights, relating to the annual variable components (MBO) and to the medium/long-term monetary incentives (LTI).

These exemptions may be resolved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of, or in any event, after consulting the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, applying the "Related Party Transactions Procedure" in force at the Company, even if the exemptions provided for therein should apply.

SECTION II

FEES PAID IN 2023 AND OTHER INFORMATION

1. PART ONE

Information on the fees paid in the 2023 financial year to Directors, Statutory Auditors, Honorary Chairman, General Manager and Key management personnel is provided below. An illustration of some items and further information is also available in Section I of this Report.

In this regard, the compliance of the remuneration policy defined for the 2023 financial year ("2023 Policy") was verified by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee at the time of the periodic assessment conducted by the same Committee at the meeting held on 4 March 2024. Following the assessment, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee confirmed the consistency and compliance of the remuneration paid to Directors, Statutory Auditors, Honorary Chairman, General Manager and Key management personnel during 2023 with the 2023 Policy.

1.1 Description of the remuneration paid to members of the Board of Directors in the 2023 financial year

During the 2023 financial year, the Company Board of Directors was renewed by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2023.

Following the death on 22 December 2022 of the Chairman, Iginio Liberali, during the 2023 financial year the Board was composed, until 28 April 2023, of 11 (eleven) members as specified below:

  • Executive Directors, Matteo Liberali (Chairman and CEO), Pier Luigi Faggioli (Vice Chairman), Michele Faggioli (current CSDO, who covered the position of COO); as well as
  • Non-Executive Directors, Raffaella Cagliano (independent), Guido Giuseppe Crespi (independent), Anna Gervasoni (independent), Fabio Liberali, Laura Oliva, Stefano Paleari (independent), Roberta Pierantoni and Marco Claudio Vitale.

The calculation of the fixed remuneration also included the remuneration accrued by Key management personnel as members of the management bodies of subsidiary or associated companies; net of said remuneration, the fixed remuneration paid overall to Key management personnel for the 2023 financial year corresponded to 3.12 times the variable remuneration (comprised by the MBO and LTI) accrued in the year.

For more information on the remuneration paid to the Company's Key management personnel in the 2023 financial year, with respect to that envisaged in the 2023 Policy, please refer to the content of the tables in Part Two of this Section II of the Report, which shows the breakdown of the individual items it is comprised of.

With reference to the 2020-2022 LTI Plan for which the four members of Key management personnel in office as at 31.12.2022 had accrued a total remuneration of Euro 141,075.02 at the end of the vesting period, it should be noted that the same was paid in two tranches, in accordance with the provisions of the relative Regulation.

1.6 Information on the application of ex post correction mechanisms for the variable remuneration component

In the financial year 2023, the "claw-back" and "malus" clauses envisaged by the 2023 Remuneration Policy, which respectively provide for the possible return or non-payment in whole or in part of the sum paid as a variable component of remuneration, were not applied by the Company.

1.7 Indemnity for termination of office or termination of the employment relationship.

In the 2023 financial year, no indemnities were approved and/or paid for the termination of office or for the termination of the employment relationship in favour of the Company's Directors, General Manager and Key management personnel.

* The figure takes into account the change in the governance of the Company during the 2023 financial year, which saw the concentration in the CEO also of the role of Chairman; in particular, the figure indicated refers exclusively to the remuneration for the sole role of Chairman and does not include any remuneration for the proxies attributed to him in relation to his office as CEO.

** It should be noted that, following the changes made to the governance of the Company following the renewal of the new Board of Directors resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2023 (represented, in particular, by the concentration in the head of the CEO of the role of Chairman and the decrease in the number of directors from twelve to ten), the total amount of remuneration attributed to all directors remained in line with that of the previous year.

In this regard, it should be noted that the increase in the ratio in relation to the 2021 financial year compared to the 2019 and 2020 financial years is mainly attributable to the significant growth in size of the Group during 2021 which led to a significant increase in the number of employees quantifiable at 201 for the Group and 48 with reference to the LU-VE Italia Group.

1.10 Disclosure regarding the vote made by the shareholders' meeting on Section II of last year's report
