Report on the 2023 remuneration policy and 2022 compensation paid

MARCH 14, 2023

ORSERO S.P.A. FY 2022 (prepared in accordance with Article 123-ter Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 84 quater of the Issuers' Regulation)

▪ 1

Shareholders,

As Chair of Orsero's Remuneration and Appointments Committee, I am pleased once again to present the Annual Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid, which incorporates the regulatory changes introduced by Consob Resolution No. 21623 of December 10, 2020.

2022 confirmed, even in the face of a macroeconomic environment of increasing complexity characterized by significant inflationary pressures, the soundness of the Group's business model. In actual fact, there has been a consolidation of profitability and cash generation, which is reflected ina strengthening of

Orsero's capital and financial structure, also supported by the recent acquisitions of major companies operating in the sector.

In accordance with the recommendations of leading Proxy Advisors, this Report is introduced by an Executive Summary section, with the intention of making the constructive "dialog" established with all Group stakeholders more effective and stable.

The document is split into two Sections: i) Section One "Report on Remuneration Policy," which describes our approach to compensation and incentive systems for 2023; ii) Section Two "Report on Compensation Paid," which provides details of compensation paid in the previous year.

In structuring the Policy, the expiration of the board term with the approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2022 was taken into account. Without prejudice to the prerogatives of the Shareholders' Meeting and the future Board, to the extent of their respective competencies, in determining the emoluments for Directors and Statutory Auditors and for participation in Board committees, a proposal is formulated in the Policy to revise the compensation for non-executive Directors, members of the Control and Risks Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors also based on extensive benchmarking activities supported by an independent advisor and with the aim of further strengthening the governance of the Group and aligning Orsero with market best practices.

The main changes contained in Section One of the Remuneration Report concern, on the one hand, the increase in the amount of fixed remuneration for the CEO and Deputy Chair and the CEO and CFO, their inclusion among short-term incentive (MBO) participants (replacing the up-front component of the previous LTI plan) and the revision of compensation for Non-Executive Directors, the Control and Risks Committee, and members of the Control Body, on the other hand, the launch of the new Long-Term Incentive Plan (Performance Share Plan 2023-2025) for the three-year period 2023-2025, the previous LTI plan having matured.

Once again for this year, we therefore fully confirm our desire to align the incentive systems of key management figures with the creation of value for shareholders and stakeholders over a medium- to long-term horizon, by linking incentives to corporate and Group performance

objectives, as well as - an element that is a novelty of the new Policy - to sustainability objectives linked to Orsero's Sustainability Plan.

The disclosure of compensation paid and achievement of financial goals during the previous year will be given within the Second Section of this Report.

The Committee, following its approval by the Board of Directors, delivers the Report on Remuneration Policy 2023 and Compensation Paid 2022 to you, the shareholders, who are called upon to cast a binding vote on Section One and an advisory vote on Section Two, in the hope that it has fully represented the Group's compensation system and its contribution to the generation of value for all stakeholders.

In concluding this brief note, I would like to thank you, the Shareholders, for the time and attention you have dedicated, reiterating the commitment of the Committee and the entire Board of Directors to continue to promote maximum transparency towards investors, inspired by principles of respect, ethics in doing business, fairness and responsibility, so as to continue to attract and motivate top-level resources.

Regards,

Armando Rodolfo de Sanna Chair of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee

SECTION I Report on the Remuneration Policy

1.Sustainability and purpose of the Remuneration Policy

Our set of values is based on the concept of integrity, ethics and diversity as sustainable conditions for our business activity.

The Group has defined a Sustainability Strategy and developed a Strategic Plan with clear annual and multi-year goals (for more information see https://www.orserogroup.it/strategia-sostenibile/) reported as part of the Sustainability Report published annually.

Within the Sustainability Strategy, one of the macro thematic areas identified relates to the Value of People, starting first of all with employees and collaborators who are in fact the driving force behind the Orsero Group. The Group is committed to promoting a work-life balance and ensuring fair and stable working relationships based on respect for diversity and the promotion of talent.

People are the first ingredient of the Group's success, at the center of the work organization. The Group aims to enhance the abilities and aptitudes of each employee to achieve the best results for the Group and itself. This centrality of people is made concrete through a solid work culture based on fairness, professionalism and merit.

To this end, we aim, through appropriate remuneration and incentive mechanisms, to create a working environment that is inclusive of all forms of diversity and able to foster the expression of individual potential, attracting, retaining and motivating resources.

Orsero's goals - according to a programmatic approach - are to enhance its human resources by promoting, among other things, initiatives in the areas of:

  • training, in order to strengthen the professional qualities of each employee, ensuring that its employees and collaborators have adequate skills and are professionally qualified and suitable to carry out the activities entrusted to them;
  • diversity, both gender and age;
  • work-life balance, offering benefits to all employees, regardless of the type of contract, in accordance with the requirements of the contractual regulations applicable over time.

The Company's Remuneration Policy is based on principles of meritocracy and fairness and aims to attract, motivate and retain key and strategic resources and, at the same time, align the interests of the management with the priority objective of creating value for the company and for Shareholders in the medium to long term by contributing to the achievement of sustainable results over time, enhancing the performance achieved and acknowledging the quality and effectiveness of the individual contribution.

2.Structure of the Remuneration Policy

The Company's Remuneration Policy, illustrated in this Report, is implemented, among other things, with the assistance of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee. The remuneration methodology and tools adopted to this end by the Company are fair, easily communicable and understandable, as well as consistent with the organizational culture of Orsero and the Group.

With regard to company and Group dynamics, the Company has carried out and plans to carry out periodic surveys of the external market through the use of comparative studies.

In particular, for the purposes of defining the Remuneration Policy and drafting this Report, Orsero availed itself of the support of the company EY Advisory S.p.A. as an independent expert with national and international expertise in the field of methodologies for the weighing of organizational positions, remuneration analysis, as well as the definition of incentive and corporate governance plans. To this end, this company supported Orsero in the benchmark analysis of the remuneration of directors, strategic managers and statutory auditors of comparable companies and in assisting the Company in identifying best practices regarding the representation of the remuneration policy.

The Orsero Remuneration Policy is divided into categories as it distinguishes a different remuneration policy for Executive Directors and Strategic Managers, Non-Executive Directors, other Strategic Managers, Senior Managers, Key Managers of the Group as well as Statutory Auditors of the Company and Key People.

Orsero adopts a Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors and Strategic Managers that provides for a fixed component and a variable component in the short and medium/long term, through forms of incentive remuneration linked to profitability and sustainability, and parameterized to the company's performance, taking into account the personal contribution to the same, and is particularly aimed at i) assuring the retention of management and ii) a correct alignment of management objectives with those of shareholders, based on measurable indicators and, in part, on financial instruments.

In particular, with reference to Executive Directors and Strategic Managers, the fixed and variable components of remuneration are adequately balanced taking into account their purpose and nature, as well as the alignment to the benchmarks of comparable companies. In this regard, please refer to paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8, 8.1 and 8.2 below and, as regards the survey of the market, to paragraph 10.

The fixed and variable remuneration components, which differ according to the roles held by the recipients, are adequately balanced so that the fixed remuneration is sufficient to remunerate the performance of the person concerned if the variable component is not paid due to failure to achieve the objectives to which it is subject.

As regards the variable components (as explained in greater detail in this Report), it should be noted that, if the targets are not met, except for any margin of tolerance which will not in any case be such as to affect the underlying ratio of the targets and the value of the targets, the incentive remuneration will not be paid in full.

The Company's Remuneration Policy - and, in particular, the policy on variable components of long-term remuneration - therefore contributes to the Company's strategy and performance and to the pursuit of the long-term interests of the Company and the Group, which, as such, promote the alignment of interests between shareholders and management,

according to a vision that takes into account, among other things, stakeholders and aims to ensure sustainability in the medium term.

This contribution will be provided by:

  • (i) a greater and more conscious involvement of the Shareholders, who are called upon to express their binding vote on this Section, which describes each of the items that make up the remuneration of Directors and other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, as well as the Company's Statutory Auditors, and which therefore has a different and broader content than the resolutions on remuneration pursuant to Articles 2364, 2389 and 2402 of the Italian Civil Code;
  • (ii) the pursuit of a policy of loyalty and incentives for the Directors and employees identified as key resources for the Group, through participation in a long-term incentive plan (the "Long-Term Incentive", duly described in the following paragraphs), which promotes and enables them to become more involved in the long-term in achieving performance objectives, in the appreciation of the share price and in remaining with the Group.

The Remuneration Policy is set by taking into account the compensation and working conditions of the Group's employees. This aspect is implemented through the adoption a sustainable Total Reward policy, a constant comparison with market practices in respect of comparable peers in terms of economic and operational dimensions and an adequate balance of fixed and variable remuneration components.

In view also of the fact that the terms of office of Orsero's Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors expire with the approval of the financial statements as of December 31, 2022, the emoluments for directors, members of the Board committees, and statutory auditors will be determined by the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting and the newly elected Board, to the extent of their competence, at the time of and following the appointment of Orsero's corporate bodies.

3.Changes from the Remuneration Policy approved in FY 2020

The Remuneration policy presented in the following Report is for one year. In general, compared to the remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 30, 2020, the proposed changes include:

4.Remuneration policy governance

In compliance with the provisions of the Related Parties Regulation, as implemented in the Orsero Related Party Transaction Procedure - available on the Company's website www.orserogroup.it, in the "Governance" section, "Corporate Policies" subsection - the approval of the Remuneration Policy by the Shareholders' Meeting exonerates the Company from applying the above procedure with regard to the resolutions of the Board of Directors concerning the remuneration of Directors and other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities.

This applies as long as:

  • (i) the Company has adopted a Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • (ii) a committee composed exclusively of non-executive directors, the majority of whom independent, has been involved in its definition;
  • (iii)the remuneration assigned is identified in compliance with said policy and quantified

on the basis of criteria that do not involve any form of discretionary assessment;

(iv) the remuneration assigned is consistent with such policy.

The main persons and bodies involved in preparing, approving and revising the Remuneration Policy are the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors and the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.

Shareholders' Meeting

As regards remuneration, the Shareholders' Meeting:

  • determines the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2364, paragraph 1, point 3) of the Italian Civil Code and may determine the overall remuneration of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, all in accordance with Article 21 of the Articles of Association;
  • expresses (i) a binding vote on Section I of the Report at the frequency required by the duration of the Remuneration Policy and, in any case, when the Policy is amended and (ii) a non-binding vote on Section II of the Report on an annual basis.

If the Shareholders' Meeting does not approve the Remuneration Policy, the Company will be required to pay remuneration in accordance with the most recent remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, if any, or, failing that, in accordance with current practice. At the next Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the financial statements, the Company shall submit a new Remuneration Policy to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors:

  • establishes an internal Remuneration and Appointments Committee;
  • defines, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, the Remuneration Policy, as well as its possible revision, and approves the Report on the Remuneration Policy and compensation paid, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation to be submitted to the examination and resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with the procedures and terms set out in the aforementioned provisions;
  • pursuant to Article 21 of the Articles of Association, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, determines the remuneration of Directors invested with specific duties, in compliance with any overall remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, and on proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee;
  • prepares, upon proposal or after consulting with the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, any incentive remuneration plans, also based on shares or other financial instruments, for directors, employees and collaborators, including Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, submits them to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval in accordance with Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and ensures their implementation.

Remuneration and Appointments Committee

The Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors and is made up of at least three nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors who, for the majority, meet the independence requirements of the TUF. The Chair of the Committee is chosen from among the Directors with the Independence Requirements and at least one member of the Committee has adequate knowledge and experience in compensation policies, corporate organization, and financial matters to be evaluated by the Board of Directors at the time of appointment. The Committee is called, with regard to the Remuneration Policy, to:

  • make proposals to the Board for the remuneration of Directors and Other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities;
  • periodically assess the appropriateness, general consistency and concrete application of the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, availing itself, in this latter context, of the information provided by the CEOs. To this end, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee makes proposals to the Board of Directors in this regard;
  • submit proposals to the Board of Directors and express opinions regarding the remuneration of the Executive Directors and other Directors holding specific offices and also concerning the determination of the performance targets correlated to the variable component of their remuneration;
  • monitor the implementation of decisions taken by the Board of Directors, by verifying, in particular, the effective achievement of performance targets.

The Remuneration and Appointments Committee therefore plays a central role in the governance system relating to the Group's Remuneration Policy.

The functioning of the committee is governed by special regulations where it is provided, inter alia, that no Director shall take part in the meetings of the Committee in which proposals are made to the Board of Directors regarding their own remuneration.

For the sake of completeness, please recall that at the Reporting Date, in compliance with the Stock Exchange Regulation and the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors of Orsero, has appointed some of its members to form a Committee, to which duties relating to remuneration, as well as those related to the appointment proposals of Directors, are attributed.

This Committee numbers three Directors, all non-executive and the majority of whom are independent:

ARMANDO RODOLFO DE SANNA INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR CHAIR
VERA TAGLIAFERRI INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR MEMBER
PAOLO PRUDENZIATI NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MEMBER

For more details on the members and operation of the Committee, reference should be made to the "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure" prepared pursuant to Article 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and published, as required by law, by the Company on its website www.orserogroup.it in the "Governance" section, "Corporate governance reports" subsection.

Please note that the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting will be called upon, among other things, to appoint the Board of Directors, and therefore, the newly elected Board will proceed to appoint the Board committees including the Committee in compliance with the above.

5.Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

Pursuant to Article 21 of the Articles of Association, Directors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred for reasons of their office.

In accordance with said Article of the Articles of Association, fees for the members of the Board of Directors shall be set by the Shareholders' Meeting; at their discretion, which may set a total fee for all Directors, thereafter, to be subdivided as required by law by the Board of Directors.

The same Article of the Articles of Association also foresees that the remuneration of the directors invested with specific duties shall be established by the Board of Directors after seeking the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Without prejudice to the provisions set out herein, the emoluments for Board mandates, where established cumulatively by the Shareholders, are then distributed by the Board of Directors, after consultation with the competent internal advisory functions, taking into account the roles held, the offices assumed and the key roles identified in the figure of the Chair; they provide only for fixed components for the term of office and the various offices; it is also up to the Board of Directors to determine emoluments due for participating in board committees.

In view also of the expiration of the Board of Directors' term of office and the renewal of the office with the approval of the financial statements as of December 31, 2022, directors' emoluments will be subject to determination by the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting when the Board is renewed; following that meeting, the newly elected Board will make its own determinations regarding the emoluments of Board members, taking into account participation in board committees.

In line with the recommendations set forth in the January 2023 letter from the Chair of the Italian Corporate Governance Committee as well as Recommendation no. 29 of the Code, pursuant to which "The policy for the remuneration of non-executive directors provides for compensation commensurate with the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the duties assigned to them on the board of directors and in the board committees; such compensation is not linked, except for an insignificant portion, to financial performance objectives," during the previous fiscal year, a benchmarking analysis was carried out - with the support of the external advisor EY - with reference to the compensation payable for the office of non-executive Chair, the fees provided for nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors, and the fees provided for participation in the Board committees.

In light of the benchmarking results, the Committee, subject to different resolutions by the Shareholders' Meeting, proposes for the next Board of Directors a compensation structure as specified below:

• Directors will be assigned annual compensation of Euro 25,000, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred for the office;

• the Chair, Paolo Prudenziati, will be assigned an annual fee of Euro 140,000 including attendance fees, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred for the office and a car for mixed personal and business use.

It is, in addition, planned for executive directors to participate in the short-term incentive system (MBO) and the medium- to long-term incentive system (Performance Share Plan 2023-2025), based on financial instruments. In this respect, please refer to Paragraph 8.2 below.

It should be noted that, where the position of Director is held by an executive, Orsero's Remuneration Policy provides for the fixed remuneration established for all Directors (in accordance with the above) by virtue of their position as Director; without prejudice to what is set forth in Paragraph 7 below (for executives that are also Directors).

Directors who perform the functions of Chair or member of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, the Control and Risks Committee, the Related Parties Committee and the Sustainability Committee receive a special remuneration in addition to that of Director, in consideration of the commitment required for participation in these committees and also in compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code.

Also with reference to the findings of the benchmarking carried out, it is proposed to recognize the following fees for participation in Board committees:

  • for the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, compensation of Euro 15,000 for the Chair and Euro 10,000 for each member;
  • for the Control and Risks Committee, compensation of Euro 15,000 for the Chair and Euro 10,000 for each member;
  • for the Related Parties Committee, compensation of Euro 8,000 for the Chair and Euro 6,000 for each member.
  • For the Sustainability Committee, compensation of Euro 8,000 for the Chair and Euro 6,000 for each member.

Should a different composition of the committees be determined, compensation for each member is proposed to be between Euro 6,000 and Euro 15,000, depending on the responsibilities assigned to each committee and the role of each member.

6.Remuneration of members of the control bodies

In accordance with Article 22 of the Articles of Association, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors will be paid a fixed remuneration for their term of office, which shall be set by the Shareholders' Meeting at the appointment stage. There is no provision for variable remuneration.

In line with Recommendation No. 30 of the Code, pursuant to which "The remuneration of the members of the supervisory body shall provide compensation commensurate with the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the importance of the role held and the dimensional and sector characteristics of the company and its situation," and with the Rules of Conduct for the Board of Statutory Auditors of Listed Companies, the Company, with the support of EY, carried out a benchmarking analysis of the remuneration positioning of Statutory Auditors in the previous year compared to the main comparables in terms of size and/or industry profile.

In light of the findings of the benchmarking, from which a positioning at the lower end of the market emerges, it is suggested that the Shareholders' Meeting, which is called to elect the Company's new Control Body, may revise the amount of compensation for Chair and members as specified below:

  • for the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors, compensation of Euro 35,000 and
  • compensation of Euro 30,000 for each Statutory Auditor;

7.Remuneration of Managers with Strategic Responsibilities or Executive Directors

Orsero identifies in-house persons responsible for planning, management and control of core activities for the Company and the Group, who are directly involved in identifying the strategies that are most compatible with the Company's business objectives; they are here referred to as "Strategic Managers".

The importance of such persons is recognized for the planning and, as a result, remuneration is provided which takes due account of their significant role.

This remuneration -for the MSRs, whether they also hold the position of executive directors, or for those who have only a managerial position - is therefore composed of a fixed part, to which must be added a short-term variable part (MBO) and a medium-to-long-term variable component (Performance Share Plan 2023-2025).

For Managers with Strategic Responsibilities with only a managerial role, the remuneration consists of a fixed part, to which must be added a short-term variable part (MBO) and a medium/long-term variable part. All forms of deferred variable remuneration are linked to the achievement of Group targets.

The fixed remuneration is established by the relevant management contract and the medium-long term variable remuneration component is recognized through participation in plans based on financial instruments. In this respect, please refer to Paragraph 8.2 below.

The Board of Directors, upon proposal of the Committee, has the right to provide for possible forms of extraordinary recognition in favor of Executive Directors and Strategic Managers, strictly commensurate with their specific contribution in transactions of particular strategic importance or individual and/or collective results considered to be particularly important and positive for the Company or the Group.

If the office of Director is held by a person who is also an executive, the remuneration component linked to particular offices and the short and medium-long term incentive component (including through participation in incentive plans) - provided for in compliance with the above - may be attributed to such persons in their capacity as executives.

Specifically, the following fixed gross annual compensation is provided, in addition to the emoluments provided for the position of director, by virtue of the respective executive position held:

  • for the Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chair, fixed remuneration of Euro 425,000;
  • for the Chief Executive Officer and CFO, fixed remuneration of Euro 385,000;
  • for the Chief Commercial Officer, fixed remuneration of Euro 250,000.

Below is the pay mix of the remuneration package for Strategic Managers, including Executive Directors:

CEO AND CFO

MANAGERS WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILITIES (CCO)

8.Variable remuneration

The Group's management remuneration system is designed to attract, motivate and retain key resources and is defined in such a way as to align the interests of management with those of shareholders, pursuing the priority objective of creating sustainable value in the medium to long term, through an effective and verifiable link between remuneration on the one hand and individual and Group performance on the other. Specifically, variable remuneration provides that:

  • MSRs, whether they also serve as executive directors (CEO and Deputy Chair and CEO and CFO) or only hold an executive position, are entitled to short-term variable compensation (MBO) and medium- to long-term equity-type compensation. The objectives to which the recognition of the variable part is linked - also in consideration of the strategic role and responsibilities held - are measured at a consolidated level and are of an economic-financial nature for the short-term component, while for the medium/long-term component they are both of an economic-financial nature and also linked to sustainability targets;
  • the Group's Senior Managers and Key Managers are recipients of short-term variable remuneration (MBO) and medium- to long-term equity-type remuneration. If the role held is considered relevant at Group level, the objectives to which the variable remuneration is linked are consolidated; in other cases, in which the Key Managers oversee specific geographical areas or businesses, economic and financial objectives measured at company, geographical or business level on which they have the management levers are used. The latter's participation in the creation of value for the Group and in the performance of the Orsero share - with a view to inclusiveness and consolidation - is guaranteed by means of medium-long term deferred variable remuneration in a similar manner to that described above for the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities.

8.1. Short-term variable remuneration

The Group provides for the recognition of a variable component of short-term remuneration in monetary form, linked to annual performance targets, referred to as MBO, in favor of the Deputy Chair and CEO, CEO and CFO, Strategic Managers, Senior Managers and Key Managers of the Group.

This is in line with the best practices of listed companies, in order to adequately balance the fixed and variable component of the remuneration of senior management, so that part of their remuneration is linked to the performance of the Company and the Group on the basis of predetermined and measurable performance objectives.

The annual target to which variable remuneration is linked is set annually by the executive directors through the Group's HR structure and the Boards of Directors of subsidiaries, where involved in respect of Group Senior Managers and Key Managers.

It is the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, that defines the objective of the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities. More specifically:

  • the payment of the bonus provided for by the MBO is conditional on the achievement of the income objective defined and determined (depending on the case) on the basis of the Group budget approved by the Company's Board of Directors5 or the budget of the individual company of reference, geography or activity carried out by the Group Senior Manager or Key Manager. The benchmark indicator used as a target is the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA or the Annual Adjusted EBITDA of specific subsidiaries;
  • there is a mechanism for calculating the variable remuneration to be paid to the person concerned, which provides for a minimum threshold for the payment of the bonus and a maximum remuneration payable in the event of over-performance. This calculation system also envisages a more than proportional decrease in the event of a negative deviation (underperformance) and a proportional increase in the event of a positive deviation (overperformance).

5 "Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA" calculated as "the Group's operating result (EBIT) net of amortization and depreciation, provisions and non-recurring costs/income, including of costs (notional or otherwise) of incentive plans" (net financial expenses, taxes, pro-rata profit/loss resulting from the application of the equity method for associates and joint ventures are therefore not considered). For the sake of clarify, the effect of accounting standard IFRS 16 is excluded.

The calculation of the short-term incentive (MBO) is determined as explained below:

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES PAYOUT
Result < 85% Consolidated Annual
Adjusted EBITDA target
No incentive
85% ≤ Result < 90% Consolidated Annual
Adjusted EBITDA target
5% reduction for each
percentage point less than the
result achieved
90% ≤ Result < 100% Consolidated Annual
Adjusted EBITDA target
2% reduction for each
percentage point less than the
result achieved
Result = 100% Consolidated Annual
Adjusted EBITDA target
100% of incentive
Result > 100% Consolidated Annual
Adjusted EBITDA target
Proportional increase of 1% for
each additional point of
achievement with maximum cap
at 110%

With reference to the target incentive opportunity for each of the target individuals, it is specified that:

  • for the CEO and Deputy Chair corresponds to 47% of fixed compensation, and for the CEO and CFO corresponds to 49% of fixed compensation6;
  • for the Strategic Manager, it corresponds to 40% of the fixed remuneration;
  • for the Group's Senior Managers and Key Managers this value is in a range between 10% and 40% of fixed remuneration.

6 It should be noted that the percentage values shown assume the revised emoluments proposed by the Policy.

8.2 Long-term variable remuneration - 2023 - 2025 Performance Share Plan

In line with the best market practices adopted by listed companies at national and international level, the Company believes that remuneration plans linked to share performance are an effective incentive and loyalty tool for key players in order to assure a high level of performance and contribute to the growth and sustainable success of companies.

The adoption of share-based remuneration plans also responds to the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, Art. 5 of which recognizes that these types of plans represent a suitable instrument for aligning the interests of executive directors and managers with strategic responsibilities of listed companies with those of shareholders, allowing the priority objective of creating value over the medium to long term.

The provision of incentive remuneration mechanisms is expressly required by stock exchange regulation for companies belonging to the STAR segment of Euronext.

The "2023-2025 Performance Share Incentive Plan" therefore aims to stimulate the maximum alignment of Beneficiaries' interests with the pursuit of the priority objective of sustainable creation of value for shareholders in the medium-long term.

In particular, in line with that set out herein, through the Plan the Company intends to promote and pursue the following objectives:

  • to encourage the retention of resources that can make a decisive contribution to the success of Orsero and the Group over a medium- to long-term time horizon;
  • to develop attraction policies toward talented managerial and professional figures in order to continuously develop and strengthen the key and distinctive competencies of the Company and the Group;
  • to foster the loyalty of Beneficiaries in the medium to long term through personal satisfaction and motivation and by developing their sense of belonging to the Company and the Group;
  • to relate the variable remuneration of the Beneficiaries to the achievement of performance objectives, including in terms of sustainability goals, to be evaluated over a future multi-year time frame, with a view to pursuing the goal of value creation in a medium- to long-term perspective;
  • to align partly through the awarding of incentive compensation involving the Company's shares - the interests of the Beneficiaries with those of shareholders and investors within a framework of sustainability and sound and prudent risk management.

The Plan recognizes within the remuneration structure of the Beneficiaries a performance share-based economic incentive related to the achievement of certain performance, subject to the fulfillment of the access conditions ("Gate") and the continuation of employment with the Orsero Group.

For more information on the 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan, please refer to the relevant Information Documents prepared pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF and Article 84-bis of the Consob Issuers' Regulations and made available to the public on the Company's website, in the "Governance - Shareholders' Meeting" section

(https://www.orserogroup.it/investor-relations/assemblea-azionisti/). As of the date of the Report, the Plan has not yet been approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. The following have been identified as the beneficiaries of the Plan (the "Recipients"), who are entitled to different methods of payment of the bonus:

The Plan is share-based and provides each Beneficiary with rights to receive free shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the achievement of performance and sustainability targets-pre-determined and referring to a specific period of time-and further conditions of the Plan.

The amount of the annual variable remuneration, defined in consideration of the responsibility, criticality and strategic nature of the role held as well as the benchmarks of each role in terms of remuneration is fixed for each beneficiary for the entire period of the Plan. More specifically:

  • for the CEO and Deputy Chair corresponds to 56% of fixed compensation, and for the CEO and CFO corresponds to 61% of fixed compensation7;
  • for the Strategic Manager, it corresponds to 48% of the fixed remuneration;
  • for Senior Managers, the payout is in a range between 45% and 50% of fixed remuneration;
  • for Key Managers, the payout is in a range between 8% and 25% of fixed remuneration.
  • for Key people, the payout is in a range between 4% and 20% of fixed remuneration.

The following describes how the 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan operates and how the incentive is disbursed:

7 It should be noted that the percentage values shown assume the revised emoluments proposed by the Policy.

Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chair, Chief Executive Officer and CFO, Key Managers, Group Senior Managers and Key Managers and Key people

The 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan has a vesting period of three years (2023-2025), with annual verification of the achievement of set goals and subsequent vesting of rights to receive shares year by year and then delivery of all vested shares upon the approval of the financial statements for the last year of vesting.

For Executive Directors, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, and Senior Managers only, there is a lock up restriction on 50% of the shares received until 12/31/2027. Thus, the Plan has a total duration of 5 years (until 2027).

Each of the beneficiaries is granted the number of rights to receive shares (the "Rights") at the end of the performance period, which will accrue due to the achievement of certain goals and under the additional conditions set forth in the Plan.

The Rights awarded will be divided into three tranches, each consisting of an equal number of Rights (the "Tranche"). Each Tranche will accrue with respect to the relevant performance period year, due to the achievement of economic-financial objectives and sustainability-related goals. Specifically:

  • Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA. Achievement of this target allows for the vesting of 85% of the Entitlement, with minimum access threshold equal to 85% of the target and cap equal to 110% of the target.
  • Sustainability goals related to the Group Sustainability Plan. Achieving these goals allows for the accrual of 15% of Rights. If they are not reached, 15% cannot be recognized.

The mechanism for calculating the allocation of the Rights, for the part linked to the achievement of the Economic and Financial Goals (the "Performance Goals") to which the accrual of 85% of the Rights is related, to be paid to the interested party, provides for a minimum access threshold for the disbursement of the Rights equal to 85% of the goal and a maximum disbursable compensation equal to 110% of the Rights allocated, obtainable in the event of over performance, i.e., in the event of achieving or exceeding 110% of this goal.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES PAYOUT
Result < 85% Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA
target
No rights
85% ≤ Result < 90% Consolidated Annual Adjusted
EBITDA target
5% reduction for each percentage point less than
the result achieved
90% ≤ Result < 100% Consolidated Annual Adjusted
EBITDA target
2% reduction for each percentage point less than
the result achieved
Result = 100% Consolidated Annual Adjusted
EBITDA target
Accrual of all Rights related to this goal (85%)
Result > 100% Consolidated Annual Adjusted
EBITDA target
Proportional increase of 1% for each additional
point of achievement with maximum cap at 110%
(93.5%)

Also, with reference to the vesting of the Rights contingent on the achievement of the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA, there are two income and financial gates, which must be maintained throughout the duration of the Plan, which inhibit or enable the vesting of 50% of the Rights awarded regardless of whether or not the EBITDA Target is achieved:

  • the threshold of Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA (excluding the application of IFRS 16) of over 3.3% of consolidated revenues, both as per the Company's consolidated financial statements for the financial year in question approved by the Board of Directors, and
  • the ratio between the Net Financial Position and the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA (excluding the application of IFRS 16) resulting from the Company's consolidated financial statements for the financial year in question approved by the Board of Directors, less than 3X.

In the absence of these requirements, 50% of the Rights linked to the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA (42.5%) will not be able to vest.

Regarding the Sustainability Goals to which the vesting of 15% of the Rights for each Performance Period exercise, there are four related annual goals established upon the achievement of which the vesting of all related Rights is contingent. If even one of the four Sustainability Goals is not met, the 15% cannot be recognized.

The four objectives, which are better described and detailed in the Regulations of the Performance Share Plan 2023-2025 (the "Plan Regulations"), are determined on an annual basis due to the following targets as of 2025 taken from the Orsero Group Sustainability Plan (the "Sustainability Targets") and are as follows:

  • GOAL 2: Reduction of energy consumption index to 77.01 kWh/m3 refrigerated by 20258;
  • GOAL 4: 100% of market stands involved in activities against food waste by 2025;

8 This indicator will be recalculated each year based on changes in the Group's perimeter or refrigerated volumes.

  • GOAL 9: 100% of employees involved in sustainability training and information by 2025;
  • GOAL 10: 100% of the Group's storage and processing warehouses certified for food safety by 2025.

For the vesting of Rights related to Sustainability goals, there is a reward compensation mechanism that will be applied at the end of the performance period. In the event of full achievement of all four Sustainability Goals at the end of the three-year period (2025), any Tranche not previously accrued will be recovered for the portion of the Rights related to the Sustainability Goals.

The method of vesting of Rights and allocation of Shares is depicted below:

It is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, with the advice of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, if requested and appropriate, to extend the list of Beneficiaries in the first year of vesting only, with the right to vest the remaining two Tranches.

Subject to the more detailed provisions of the Plan Regulations, "claw back" clauses as well as "good leaver" and "bad leaver" assumptions and acceleration events in line with practice are provided for all recipients of the LTI Plan, unless otherwise regulated by the local regulatory framework of the various Group companies.

For a description of the Plan, please also refer to the Information Document available on the Issuer's website www.orserogroup.it, "Governance" section, "Remuneration" subsection.

9.Derogations to the Remuneration Policy

In the case of exceptional and non-recurring circumstances referred to in Article 123-ter paragraph 3-bis of the TUF - that is, situations in which a waiver of the Policy is necessary for the purpose of pursuing the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company and the Group as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay on the market - there is the possibility of a waiver, with reference to the recipients of this Policy, of the size of the fixed and variable components provided.

Exceptional circumstances include but are not limited to (i) the need to replace, due to unforeseen events, Executive Directors and the need to quickly negotiate a remuneration

package, where the constraints contained in the approved Policy could limit the Company's ability to attract managers with the most appropriate professional skills to manage the business; (ii) exogenous shocks of an unforeseeable nature and extraordinary magnitude; or and (iii) appreciable changes in the scope of the company's business during the Policy's term, such as the divestment of a business/branch of business on whose activities the Policy's performance objectives were based or the acquisition of a significant business not included in the Policy.

In cases of departure from the Remuneration Policy provided for in this paragraph, the Company will apply the process and obligations set forth in the Related Party Transactions Procedure. In any case, it is understood that exceptions must be determined by the Board of Directors with the opinion of the Committee and the need to obtain the prior opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to Article 2389, Paragraph 3 of the Civil Code where the waiver concerns the remuneration of directors holding special offices. As part of the subsequent report on compensation paid, information will be given about any waivers applied, with evidence of the items subject to waivers, the exceptional circumstances, and the functionality of these waivers with respect to the interests for the protection of which they were determined.

10. Survey of the Reference Market for the Remuneration of Executive Directors and Strategic Managers

In order to ensure the external competitiveness of its remuneration policies, Orsero has availed itself of the support of the independent advisory firm EY Advisory S.p.A. to monitor practices and trends in the sector. The adequacy of overall remuneration is verified through the use of role-based remuneration benchmarks, conducted with respect to specific selected peer groups, to compare roles and similar positions and assess competitive alignment with the most appropriate reference market.

In consideration of the reference panel for Executive Directors, selected taking into account size and economic operating parameters as well as sector parameters, the Company has defined a remuneration policy aligned to the first quartile of the market in line with the size positioning.

SECTION II Report on compensation paid

This Section, by name for the remuneration attributed to Directors and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and in aggregate form for the remuneration attributed to other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities:

  • in Part One:
    • provides an adequate, clear and comprehensible representation of each of the items that make up remuneration, including the benefits provided in the event of termination of office or termination of employment, highlighting their compliance with the Company's remuneration policy for the financial year in question and the ways in which remuneration contributes to the Company's long-term results;
    • provides information on the allocation of financial instruments to directors, executives (including Strategic Managers) and other employees of Orsero and its subsidiaries;
  • in Part Two:
    • provides an analytical presentation of the remuneration paid in the Financial Year for any reason, and in any form, by the Company and by subsidiaries or associates, indicating any components of these fees that are related to activities carried out in years previous to the year in question, and also highlighting the fees to be paid in one or more subsequent years against activities carried out in the reference financial year, and possibly indicating an estimated value for the components that are not objectively quantifiable in the reference financial year;
    • indicates, with the criteria established in Annex 3A, Scheme 7-ter of the Issuers' Regulation, the shareholdings held in the Issuer and its subsidiaries by Directors, Statutory Auditors and other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, as well as by spouses who are not legally separated and underage children, either directly or through subsidiaries, trust companies or third parties, resulting from the register of shareholders, communications received and other information acquired by the same members of the management and control bodies and other Managers with Strategic Responsibilities.

It should be noted that, pursuant to the provisions of Annex 3A, Scheme 7-bis of the Issuers' Regulation, the information relating to the remuneration received by Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, other than Directors, is provided at an aggregate level as there are no Managers with Strategic Responsibilities who have received total remuneration (adding monetary and financial instruments-based compensation) during the Financial Year greater than the highest total remuneration attributed to the members of the administration and control bodies.

Please note that the independent auditors KPMG S.p.A. verified - in compliance with the provisions of Article 123-ter, paragraph 8-bis, of the Consolidated Law on Finance - that the Board of Directors had prepared this Section of the Remuneration Report.

1.Part one

Below is a representation of the items that make up the remuneration for the Financial Year (2022) of the members of the Board of Directors, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Remuneration of members of the management bodies

In accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors receives the annual fees for the term of office approved by the Issuer's Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment (which took place on April 30, 2020), based on the proposals submitted to the Shareholders. Specifically, the above-mentioned Shareholders' Meeting resolved to award the following fees to members of the Board of Directors:

  • to all other Directors an annual fee of Euro 20,000.00, by way of annual attendance fees, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred for the office;
  • to the Chair, Paolo Prudenziati, an annual fee of Euro 140,000.00 including attendance fees, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred for the office.
  • In addition, also in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors of May 6, 2020, by virtue of the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of April 30, 2020 - which attributed an additional compensation of a total of Euro 85,000 per year to be recognized to the members of the Committees established by the Board of Directors within the same and to be distributed by the Board itself - resolved to recognize the following emoluments in favor of members of the Board of Directors, pro rata temporis and in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred:
  • Euro 15,000.00 per year to the Chair of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and Euro 10,000.00 per year to the other two members of this Committee;
  • Euro 8,000.00 per year to the Chair of the Related Parties Committee and Euro 6,000.00 per year to the other two members of this Committee;
  • Euro 13,000.00 per year to the Chair of the Control and Risks Committee and Euro 8,500.00 per year to the other two members of this Committee.

It should be noted that, in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, if the office of Director is held by a person who is also an executive, the remuneration component linked to particular offices and the short and medium-long term incentive remuneration component (including through participation in incentive plans) has been attributed to such persons (i.e. to Executive Directors Raffaella Orsero, who also holds the office of Deputy Chair, and Matteo Colombini) in their capacity as executives.

Remuneration of Strategic Managers

During the Financial Year, the Company identified three Strategic Managers, including Executive Directors Raffaella Orsero and Matteo Colombini, in compliance with the provisions of the Related Parties Regulation.

In accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, the remuneration of the Strategic Executives consists of the following items:

  • a) fixed remuneration, employed work;
  • b) short-term annual variable remuneration, i.e. (i) up-front component Up-Front Monetary Incentive of the 2020-2022 LTI Plan for managers with strategic responsibilities who are also Executive Directors, i.e. Raffaella Orsero and Matteo Colombini and (ii) MBO for one Strategic Manager. In this regard, please refer to Part II of this Section and the Information Document available on the Issuer's website www.orserogroup.it, section "Governance", subsection "Remuneration";
  • c) non-monetary benefits, consisting of: (i) motor vehicle assigned for both personal and professional use on the basis of the Group car policy; (ii) insurance policy covering the risk of work- and non-work-related injuries, including life risk; (iii) supplementary health care insurance policy; and (iv) for the Executive Directors and Strategic Managers, as executives operating off-site, temporary accommodation.
  • d) Medium/long-term variable remuneration, i.e. participation in the 2020-2022 LTI Plan.

Strategic Managers (including Executive Directors)

As previously reported, on March 11, 2020, the Board of Directors, in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, having received the favorable opinion of the Committee, resolved to recognize to Strategic Managers and Executive Directors Raffaella Orsero and Matteo Colombini:

  • (a) gross fixed annual remuneration, effective January 1, 2020, of Euro 370,000 and Euro 340,000, respectively, by virtue of the respective executive positions held and to be deemed also inclusive of the remuneration for the special offices of Deputy Chair and Chief Executive Officer (with the sole exception of the attendance fee established for all Directors) and
  • (b) by way of variable incentive remuneration (short- and medium/long-term), for the entire period of the 2020-2022 LTI Plan, a total annual variable remuneration of up to 90% of the fixed remuneration above (in the event that 100% of the target is reached), of which 50% up-front (i.e., as short-term variable remuneration) and 50% deferred (i.e., as medium/long-term variable remuneration), all subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LTI Plan itself and without prejudice to the indexation to the Total Shareholder Return as governed by the same.

With reference to the Financial Year, the target performance objective, i.e. the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA of Euro 55,000,000, "pro-forma" (i.e. without the application of

IFRS 16), determined by the Board of Directors - in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy - subject to the favorable opinion of the Committee and on the basis of the 2022 budget already approved by the administrative body, was achieved in a percentage equal to 113.28%. The level of achievement of the target was verified by the Board of Directors on the basis of the results set out in the draft consolidated financial statements for FY 2022, approved by the Board of Directors. The policy calls for maximum compensation of 110% of the base bonus, which can be obtained in the event of over-performance, i.e. if 110% of this objective is reached or exceeded.

Following the conclusion of the vesting period of the 2020-2022 LTI Plan, upon verification of the parameters contained therein and the results achieved, after preliminary investigation by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, Orsero's Board of Directors verified the full achievement of the performance indicators set forth in the aforementioned Plan. Therefore, as stipulated in the Plan Regulations, the amount due will be disbursed according to the conditions and timelines set forth in the relevant Regulations. For information on the remuneration payable under the LTI Plan, please refer to Table 3B below.

For the Financial Year, in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, in light of the level of achievement of the performance targets as described above, the amount of variable remuneration (short term and medium to long-term) of Managers with Strategic Responsibilities who are also Executive Directors, corresponds to 99.00% of fixed compensation (excluding attendance fees for the office of Director).

In addition, it should be noted that as stipulated in the Remuneration Policy and the 2020- 2022 LTI Plan, the first tranche of the Deferred Monetary Incentive for each fiscal year of the performance period is paid in FY 2022. This tranche is indexed to the Total Shareholder Return calculated as per the LTI Plan and which in 2022 was 49% (with cap of 40%).

Below is the pay mix of Managers with Strategic Responsibilities who are also executive directors for 2022 considering over performance and the first Tranche of Deferred Monetary Incentive paid as per the LTI Plan:

With regard to the short-term variable component relating to the Financial Year, in line with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors' meeting of March 11, 2020, having obtained the Committee's favorable opinion, resolved to pay this person a variable incentive fee of up to 28% of the fixed remuneration, provided that the budgeted

Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA target, approved by the Board of Directors, was achieved and also establishing a mechanism for calculating the variable remuneration to be paid to the person concerned that provides for a minimum access threshold for the disbursement of the bonus and a maximum payable remuneration obtainable in the event of over-performance, as described in the following scheme.

With reference to the Financial Year, as regards the short-term variable remuneration, in accordance with the above and with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, the target performance objective, i.e. the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA, of Euro 55,000,000, "pro-forma" (i.e. without the application of IFRS 16), determined by the Board of Directors, with the favorable opinion of the Committee, on the basis of the 2022 budget already approved by the administrative body, was achieved in a percentage equal to 113.28%, as verified by the Board of Directors on the basis of the results shown in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022 approved by the Board of Directors.

For information on the compensation due by way of the MBO short-term variable remuneration, please refer to Table 3B below. The policy calls for maximum compensation of 110% of the base bonus, which can be obtained in the event of over-performance, i.e. if 110% of this objective is reached or exceeded.

The Board of Directors meeting held on March 11, 2020, in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy and subject to the favorable opinion of the Committee, resolved, as medium-long term variable incentive remuneration, the Strategic Manager's participation in the Plan and, therefore, the recognition, for the entire period of the LTI Plan (2020-2022), a variable incentive remuneration of up to 45% of the fixed remuneration paid to them (as described above), to be paid subject to the conditions and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the 2020-2022 LTI Plan, and therefore in full on a deferred basis and without prejudice to the indexation of the bonus to the Total Shareholder Return. With reference to the Financial Year, as regards the medium/long-term variable remuneration, in accordance with the above and with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, the target performance objective, i.e. the Consolidated Annual Adjusted EBITDA, of Euro 55,000,000, "pro-forma" (i.e. without the application of IFRS 16), determined by the Board of Directors, with the favorable opinion of the Committee, on the basis of the 2022 budget already approved by the administrative body, was achieved in a percentage equal to 113.28%, as verified by the Board of Directors on the basis of the results shown in the draft consolidated financial statements for FY 2022, approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Plan, the related remuneration will be recognized in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the related Regulation, subject to the terms and conditions set out in

the LTI Plan, and therefore, inter alia, without prejudice to indexation to the Total Shareholder Return as governed therein.

It should be noted that as stipulated in the Remuneration Policy and the 2020-2022 LTI Plan, the first tranche of the Deferred Monetary Incentive for each fiscal year of the performance period is paid in FY 2022. This tranche is indexed to the Total Shareholder Return calculated as per the LTI Plan and which in 2022 was 49% (with cap of 40).

Below is the pay mix of Managers with Strategic Responsibilities considering over performance and the first Tranche of Deferred Monetary Incentive paid as per the LTI Plan:

For information on the compensation payable under the LTI Plan, please refer to Table 3B below. The policy calls for maximum compensation of 110% of the base bonus, which can be obtained in the event of over-performance, i.e. if 110% of this objective is reached or exceeded.

It should be noted that during the Financial Year no ex post correction mechanisms were applied to the variable component of the remuneration of any of the three Strategic Managers (including the two Executive Directors).

Remuneration of members of the control bodies

The remuneration of the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Standing Auditors was defined by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 30, 2020 at the time of their appointment, on the proposal of the Shareholders as Euro 30,000.00 gross per year for the Chair and Euro 20,000.00 gross per year for each Standing Auditor.
