Dear Shareholders,

With respect to the fourth item on the agenda, we present the report on remuneration and fees paid to the directors and statutory auditors, general managers and key management personnel (the "remuneration report"). We prepared this report in accordance with article 123-ter of the CFA, as amended by Legislative decree no. 49 of 10 June 2019 which transposed Directive (EU) 2017/828 (the Shareholder Rights Directive II) of the European Parliament, and article 84 quater of the Issuers' Regulation, as well as Annex 3A, Forms 7-bis and 7-ter of the Issuers' Regulation, as most recently amended by Consob resolution no. 21623 of 10 December 2020, considering also article 5 of the Code of Corporate Governance.

In accordance with article 123-ter of the CFA (amended by Legislative decree no. 49 of 10 June 2019 which transposes Directive (EU) 2017/828 (the Shareholder Rights Directive II) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 which amends Directive 2007/36/EC (the Shareholder Rights Directive I) as regards the encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement), the remuneration report is divided into two sections.

The first section of the remuneration report provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the company's remuneration policy for its directors and statutory auditors, general managers and key management personnel for at least the next year as well as the procedures used to adopt and implement this policy. In accordance with article 123-ter.3-bis and 3-ter of the CFA, introduced by Legislative decree no. 49/2019, the policy set out in this section requires the shareholders' binding vote in their ordinary meeting.

The second section in a clear and understandable way and, by name for the members of the administrative and control bodies and the general managers and in aggregate form for managers with strategic responsibilities, must instead (i) provide an adequate description of each of the items making up the remuneration, including payments envisaged in the event of termination of office or of the employment relationship, highlighting their consistency with the company's policy on remuneration in the reference financial year; (ii) set out in detail the remuneration paid in the reference financial year in any manner and form by the company or its subsidiaries or associates, specifying any components of such remuneration that relate to activities performed in previous years as well as the remuneration to be paid in one or more subsequent years for services provided in the reference financial year; (iii) show that the company has considered the shareholders' vote on the second section of the report in the previous year. In accordance with the point 6 of article 123-ter of the CFA, introduced by Legislative decree no. 49/2019, the

shareholders are called upon to express themselves in favour or against this section, by means of a non-binding vote.

The report also indicates any investments held by the above persons in the Company or its subsidiaries.

More comprehensive information on this item is available in the report drawn up by the Board of Directors in accordance with article 123-ter of the CFA and article 84 quater of the Issuers' Regulation, as well as article 5 of the Code of Corporate Governance, which will be made available to the public, using the methods and within the timeframes prescribed by law, at the Company's registered office and at Borsa Italiana S.p.A., as well as on the Company's website (www.carel.com) and through the other methods stipulated by Consob regulations.
