In compliance with the regulations and in line with the values of transparency and responsibility which have always been pursued by Servizi Italia Group, the Company intends to ensure appropriate information on the strategies and processes adopted for the definition and implementation of the Remuneration Policy.
The Report was prepared by the Human Resources Manager of Servizi Italia S.p.A., and – after examination by the Governance Committee – was approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 14 March 2023. The Report consists of two sections:
In compliance with the provisions of Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the duration of the Remuneration Policy is equal to three financial years, 2021-2023, in line with the term in office of the Board of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021, which approved the Policy in a binding and favourable manner.
The Policy takes effect from the aforementioned date of approval by the Shareholders' Meeting and will in any case be valid and effective until the Shareholders' Meeting approves changes to it and/or a new remuneration policy submitted by the Board of Directors.
The Policy on remuneration and compensation paid will remain available on the Company's website for 10 years after its publication and, after this period, the personal data contained in Section II of the report will no longer be accessible.
The 2021-2023 Remuneration Policy is published, illustrating in this Section I the updated information on the Company's governance following the integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2022. It is recalled that, as specified in the ministerial report accompanying Italian Legislative Decree No. 49/2019 (amending Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance) and reaffirmed by the Supervisory Authority, the changes to the remuneration policy to be submitted to a new vote by the Shareholders' Meeting are different from formal or merely editorial ones and must concern aspects of the content of the policy itself, a representation of which was provided in the previously approved policy or the introduction of new elements that make the previously approved policy no longer representative of the remuneration policy actually in place. It should be noted that, since no changes have been made to the substantial contents of the Remuneration Policy approved by the
Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2021, the Policy illustrated in Section I is not submitted for approval by the Shareholders' Meeting called for 20 April 2023 (first call) and 21 April 2023 (second call).
• Section II illustrates the compensation paid during the 2022 financial year, for any reason and in any form, by the Company and the Group companies, to the Directors, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, providing a representation of each of the items that make up their remuneration. Pursuant to Article 84-quater, paragraph 4, of the Issuers' Regulations, Section II also provides, in specific tables, data on the shareholdings held - in the Company and in its subsidiaries - by Directors, Statutory Auditors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, as well as by spouses who are not legally separated and minor children, directly or through subsidiaries, trust companies or third parties, as resulting from the shareholders' register, from communications received and from other information acquired from the Directors, Statutory Auditors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.
Pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Shareholders' Meeting will be called to resolve, for or against, the second section of the Report envisaged by Article 123-ter, paragraph 4, of the Consolidated Law on Finance; this resolution will not be binding pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
It should be noted that the approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Remuneration Policy as illustrated in Section I of this document and its consistent application by the administrative body are grounds for exclusion from the application of the Regulation for Transactions with Related Parties adopted by the Company, pursuant to Article 7 thereof and in compliance with the provisions of Article 13 of Consob Regulation No. 17221/10 as subsequently amended and integrated, at the conditions therein indicated. The provisions of the Regulation for TRP adopted by the Company will be fully applied in any case of derogation from the Remuneration Policy, subject to the conditions laid down in paragraph 7 of Section I below.

*EC Component ** Executive with strategic responsibilities
The Remuneration Policy, understood as the set of principles and tools aimed at defining the compensation package for Directors, Executives with strategic responsibilities and - without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2402 of the Civil Code - Auditors, involves the bodies listed below:
With regard to remuneration, the Shareholders' Meeting:
As regards remuneration, the Board:
with the support of the Governance Committee operating as the Remuneration Committee, approves the Report on remuneration policy and compensation paid pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulations, drawn up by the Human Resources Manager, and submits it to the Shareholders' Meeting;
prepares any share- or other financial instrument-based remuneration plans for Directors, employees and collaborators, including Executives with strategic responsibilities, submits them to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and oversees their implementation.
In accordance with Recommendation 25 of the Corporate Governance Code, regarding matters related to remuneration the Committee:
With regard to remuneration, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code and Section 17.11 of the Articles of Association, expresses its opinion on the proposals for the remuneration of executive Directors, and more generally, of Directors holding special offices within the framework of the overall determination made by the Shareholders' Meeting, verifying the consistency of such proposals with the Remuneration Policy.
With regard to remuneration, the delegated body:
With regard to remuneration, the Human Resources Manager is jointly responsible for the correct implementation of the remuneration policy.
Servizi Italia has set up a committee with responsibilities for remuneration, endowed with corporate governance tools in line with market practice, the provisions of the Consolidated Law on Finance and the Corporate Governance Code.
In addition to what stated in paragraph 1.1, the committee has the following consultative and proposal-making functions vis-à-vis the Board of Directors:
in matters relating to control and risks, it assists the Board of Directors in evaluations and decisions relating to the Internal Control and Risk Management System and in the approval of periodic financial and non-financial reports. In particular:
approval of the annual and half-yearly financial statements, on the activities carried out, as well as on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Internal Control and Risk Management System;
a) it carries out the tasks that, in compliance with the regulations in force from time to time, are attributed to it pursuant to the Regulation for Transactions with Related Parties adopted by the Company in relation to both transactions of lesser importance and - given the qualification as a "small company" of Servizi Italia and as long as the Company qualifies as such - for transactions of greater significance with related parties.
The Board of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2021 established, on the same date, the Governance and Related-Party Committee (formerly the Appointment and Remuneration Committee), with preliminary, propositional and consultative functions on the subject of appointments, remuneration, control and risks and transactions with related parties.
The GC will remain in office for the entire duration of the Board of Directors (i.e. until the Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2023) and is made up of the following three independent Directors: Anna Maria Fellegara (Chairwoman), Antonio Aristide Mastrangelo and Benedetta Pinna.
The works of the GC:
All members of the Board of Statutory Auditors attended the meetings of the GC, except in cases of justified absence.
At least one member of the GC has knowledge and experience in financial matters or in relation to remuneration policies deemed adequate by the Board at the time of appointment.
None of the Directors attends meetings of the GC at which proposals are made regarding their own remuneration, as provided for by the regulations of the same GC.
The Company's Human Resources Manager participates in the works of the GC.
In order to carry out the tasks assigned to it, the Committee may use the support of both internal employees and external professionals. Where the Committee uses the services of a consultant, in order to obtain information on market practices with regard to remuneration policies, it shall first check that the consultant is not in a situation that would compromise their independence of judgement.
The members of the Committee have access to the information and corporate functions necessary for the performance of their duties, with the assistance of the Manager of Human Resources.
For information on the main activities carried out by the GC in 2022, the number of meetings of the Committee and their duration, refer to the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure for the financial year 2022.
It should also be noted that the Remuneration Policy provides that the proposal concerning the remuneration of Directors who are also members of the GC to be made by an independent Director (or, failing this, by a nonexecutive Director) who is not a member of any of the Board committees.
The Company generally defines and applies a Remuneration Policy aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining resources possessing the professional qualities required to profitably pursue the objectives of the Group and the business, as well as the competitiveness and sustainability of the business activities carried out by the Company and the Group in the long term.
The main objectives of the Policy are:
The Remuneration Policy is made up of tools and logic, applied to the entire company population, aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining people with the professional qualities necessary to contribute to defining the Company's growth strategy and the strengthening of the long-term interests and sustainability of Servizi Italia.
Aware that the sustainable success of the Company and the Group is closely linked to the satisfaction and growth of the people who work there, the Company recognises that one of the priority objectives to be pursued in order to generate long-term value is the well-being of employees, understood not only as a guarantee of adequate health and safety conditions in the workplace, but also as professional fulfilment (also thanks to training and development policies spread at various company levels) and the possibility of reconciling professional and personal life in a balanced manner.
The Remuneration Policy is based on the principles of fairness, equal opportunities, meritocracy and competitiveness in relation to the market. The definition of the remuneration of the corporate population takes into consideration specific criteria, including comparisons with the external market and the company's internal equity, the characteristics of assigned roles and the responsibilities, as well as the distinctive skills of people, with a view to maximum objectivity, in order to avoid any form of discrimination or unjustified unbalanced situations.
The growth and exploitation of people, protection of health and safety in the workplace, creation of a collaborative, loyal and synergistic corporate climate and a positive and organised work environment that offers everyone equal opportunities on the basis of merit for organisational roles, the development of professional and managerial skills are the essential components of the Company's work in pursuing the sustainable success of the Company and the Group.
Servizi Italia, with its ongoing commitment to maintaining SA8000 certification, respects the dignity of each individual and offers equal opportunities at all stages and in all aspects of the employment relationship, avoiding any form of discrimination which may arise from differences in sex, age, state of health, nationality, political or religious opinion.
Attention to people also includes careful management of welfare, committing to guaranteeing employees fair wages that allow their families to enjoy well-being and social serenity, while also encouraging initiatives or nonmonetary benefits aimed at improving the general well-being of all employees.
Depending on the classification of resources, the Human Resources Department formulates remuneration proposals as follows:
The Remuneration Policy is based on the following principles:
f) non-monetary benefits, depending on the role, most of which are provided for by the National Collective Labour Agreements, as applied and recognised by corporate practices identified in specific regulations approved by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the principles of sobriety, cost containment and proportionality with respect to the aims pursued.
The definition of the Policy is the result of a clear and transparent process, in which the Human Resources Manager, the Committee and the Board of Directors play a central role.
As explained, the Policy defines the principles and guidelines that the Board of Directors and delegated body must follow when defining the remuneration of:
At the proposal of the Committee, the Board of Directors adopts the criteria for the implementation of the Policy and any amendments where applicable.
The remuneration of Senior Managers and Middle Managers, i.e. special and key figures, is approved by the delegated body (CEO or Executive Committee), in agreement with the Human Resources Manager.
At least once a year, the Human Resources Manager shall report to the Committee on compliance with the Policy and the related application criteria.
The Board of Directors may propose to the Shareholders' Meeting the adoption of incentive mechanisms through compensation plans based on financial instruments. The relevant legislation will apply to these mechanisms. At the date of this Report, the Company has no incentive plans in place based on financial instruments.
The Committee and the Board of Directors, where required with the assistance of independent firms specialising in executive compensation, analyse the positioning, composition and, more generally, the competitiveness of the remuneration of directors holding special offices, Executives with strategic responsibilities and senior managers, on the basis of methodological approaches that allow for an assessment of the complexity of such roles from an organisational standpoint, specific delegated powers, and the impact on each individual's final business results.
Subsequently, the Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2021 approved the establishment of a Board of Directors made up of 7 members, which will remain in office for the 2021-2023 three-year period, i.e. up to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2023.

For the duration of their term of office, the members of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Article 17.10 of the Articles of Association, are entitled to a remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting in overall terms at the time of their appointment, pursuant to Article 2389, para. 3, of the Italian Civil Code. The expiring Board of Directors normally refrains from formulating specific proposals in this regard and invites the Shareholders' Meeting that has on its agenda the appointment of the Board of Directors to resolve on the matter, on the basis of the proposals that may be made by the Shareholders within the context of the lists presented and/or during the Shareholders' Meeting.
As regards the executive directors or directors holding special offices, this compensation may also consist of a fixed part and a variable part, the latter commensurate with the achievement of certain objectives.
The Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2021 resolved to establish in:
maximum Euro 595 thousand for the total gross annual fixed remuneration for the Board of Directors, to be divided by the Board, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, among the Directors, including those vested with particular offices and those participating in Board Committees;
maximum Euro 30 thousand for the total annual gross variable remuneration for the Board of Directors, to be divided by the Board, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, among the executive Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy from time to time applicable and linked to the achievement of the objectives set by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company's applicable Annual Bonus System Plan;
maximum Euro 60 thousand for the total gross medium/long-term remuneration for the Board of Directors, to be divided by the Board, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, among the executive Directors in accordance with the provisions of the current Remuneration Policy from time to time applicable and linked to the achievement of the objectives set by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company's applicable Long Term Incentive Cash Plan;
The Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2021 also resolved to grant the Board of Directors the power to recognise to Directors the non-monetary benefits and additional indemnities contemplated by the Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.
This compensation, formulated in overall terms, was distributed by the Board of Directors among the Directors, Directors holding special offices and participants in internal Board Committees, subject to the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and of the Committee, in accordance with the provisions of the Italian Civil Code and the current Articles of Association. The distribution criterion adopted is as follows:
The compensation commences on the date of appointment and is be paid on a pro rata temporis basis until the date of termination of office.
With reference to the variable components assigned, contractual agreements are envisaged for which the Company may request their return, in whole or in part, where their assignment was made on the basis of data that later proved to be manifestly incorrect (so-called claw-back clause).
In compliance with recommendation 31 of the Corporate Governance Code, the Company, upon termination of office and/or the termination of the relationship with an executive Director or possibly the General Manager, shall, following the internal processes that lead to the allocation or recognition of indemnities and/or other benefits, disclose detailed information on the matter, through a press release issued to the market.
The remuneration of non-executive Directors is commensurate with the commitment required of each of them, taking into account their possible participation in the Committees, and is not linked to the economic results achieved by Servizi Italia S.p.A. (they do not participate in the ABS Plan or the LTI Cash Plan). This provision does not apply in the case of non-executive Directors who are also Executives of the Company who could be identified as participants in the ABS Plan and/or LTI Cash Plan.
It should also be noted that, for non-executive Directors belonging to the list of majority shareholders (Coopservice Soc.coop.p.A.) who are also employees of the same, there is an obligation to transfer all or part of the remuneration received to Coopservice Soc.coop.p.A. for the entire duration of the mandate.
As a general rule, the Board of Statutory Auditors is involved whenever there are cases concerning the remuneration of Directors and their severance pay, taking into account the provisions of Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, Section 17.11 of the Articles of Association and for the purpose of supervising the actual implementation of the corporate governance rules provided for in Article 149, paragraph 1, letter c-bis) of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
In line with best practices, a D&O (Directors & Officers) insurance policy is envisaged to cover management's third-party liability, including members of corporate bodies and Executives with strategic responsibilities, in the exercise of their functions.
At the time of appointment, or at the first subsequent meeting, the Committee proposes to the Board of Directors the remuneration payable to directors holding special offices.
The remuneration of executive Directors and holding special offices generally consists of the following elements:
With reference to the variable components of the remuneration of executive directors holding special offices, it should be noted that, on an annual basis, the Committee submits proposals or expresses opinions to the Board of Directors on:
The remuneration of non-executive Directors holding special offices, including independent Directors, is fixed and commensurate with the commitment actually required, taking into account their participation in one or more Committees.
The Remuneration Policy provides that the proposal concerning the remuneration of non-executive Directors holding distinct offices who are also members of the Committee is to be formulated by an independent Director (or, failing this, by a non-executive Director) who is not a member of any of the Committees.
On 30 July 2020, the Company's Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Executive Committee and with the favourable opinions of the Control and Risk Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, appointed Andrea Gozzi, formerly Operations Manager and an Executive with strategic responsibilities, as General Manager, in consideration of the opportunity of achieving an even more adequate and efficient management of the Company's operations, from an operational, organisational and planning standpoint, thus enhancing and strengthening his constant and profitable collaboration with the Executive Committee on the one hand, and senior management functions on the other.
Executives with strategic responsibilities are directors identified by the Board of Directors as having the power or responsibility for planning, managing and controlling the Company's and the Group's operations.
The remuneration of Executives with strategic responsibilities, with the exception of the so-called "nonmonetary benefits", is generally composed of the following elements:
The remuneration of Senior Managers, Middle Managers and special/key figures within the organisation generally, is composed of the following elements:
Pursuant to Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, when appointing the Board of Statutory Auditors of Servizi Italia S.p.A., the Shareholders' Meeting shall determine the annual remuneration due to the Statutory Auditors for the entire duration of their office.
With regard to determining the remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors refrains from formulating specific proposals in this regard and invites the Shareholders' Meeting, in which the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors is on the agenda, to resolve the issue on the basis of proposals made by the shareholders themselves, within the context of the lists presented or during the above-mentioned Shareholders' Meeting.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, if the outgoing control body, in view of the formulation by the Shareholders of proposals to the Shareholders' Meeting regarding the remuneration of the auditing body, has provided the Company in due time with detailed information on the quantification of the commitment required to carry out the appointment, the Board of Directors shall provide a summary of such information in the Explanatory Report pursuant to Article 125-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance concerning the renewal of the auditing body and in the Report on the remuneration and compensation policy.
Note that at the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2020, with the renewal of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three-year period 2020-2021-2022, the fixed annual gross remuneration of its Chairperson was set at Euro 25,000 per year, and that of the board's members at Euro 20,000 per year.
The Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2022 - having acknowledged the resignation of the Standing Auditor Ms. Benedetta Pinna with effect from 2 April 2021 and her replacement, on the same date, with the Alternate Auditor Ms. Elena Iotti - integrated the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors with the appointment of a Standing Auditor and an Alternate Auditor, also confirming for the newly appointed Standing Auditor a fee of Euro 20,000 per year in accordance with the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2020 at the time of the appointment of the control body.
The remuneration of Statutory Auditors should be appropriate to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the importance of the role covered and the Company's size and sector specifications. The compensation commences on the date of appointment and is be paid on a pro rata temporis basis until the date of termination of office.
The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are precluded from any form of variable remuneration, while recognising a social security fund and/or reimbursement of expenses for the exercise of the office of Statutory Auditor.
In line with best practices, a D&O (Directors & Officers) insurance policy is envisaged to cover third-party liability for the management, including members of corporate bodies and Executives with strategic responsibilities, for the exercise of their functions.
In order to provide for the correct organisational development of its functions, the Company may conclude collaboration or directorship contracts, governed by the rules of self-employment provided for by current legislation.
It is company practice, in the event that, due to the particular nature of the collaboration contract, it is not possible in any way to recognise a subordinate employment relationship between the Company and the collaborator (not subjecting the collaborator to the organisational, hierarchical and disciplinary power of the employer), not to recognise any further accessory benefits in both economic and social security or welfare terms, in addition to the remuneration defined for the service. For the services required and for the proper performance of the function, the employee may be assigned benefits (e.g. car, telephone, computer) recognised by company practices and identified in a special regulation approved by the Board of Directors, the operating costs of which will be borne by the company.
In determining the remuneration and its individual components, the Board of Directors, delegated body and the Human Resources Manager take into account a balance of the Overall Remuneration consisting of a fixed monetary component and both short and medium/long-term variable monetary components, whose weight shall take into account the specific content of the powers delegated to individual beneficiaries and/or the functions and role they actually perform within the Company.
Specifically, with regard to executive directors holding special offices, Executives with strategic responsibilities, Senior Managers and special/key roles, the Board of Directors - with the support of the Committee - evaluates the specific office assigned and any specific powers delegated. In particular, the remuneration shall be determined on the basis of the following indicative criteria:
In addition, with regard to the beneficiaries (Executive Directors and/or Executives with strategic responsibilities and special/key roles), the Company, as anticipated, has promoted the introduction of clauses in the letters of appointment or in the ABS and LTI Cash Plans, known as "claw-back" clauses, which allow the Company to request the return, in whole or in part, of the variable remuneration components paid (or to withhold sums subject to deferral), if within a three year term from the payment of the variable remuneration component, the Company has ascertained that its allocation was made on the basis of data that subsequently turned out to be clearly erroneous or subject to malicious alteration or obtained through committing fraudulent or excessively risky conduct, serious violations of the law and/or regulations, of the Code of Ethics, of Model 231, of the Anti-Corruption Policy, of the Anti-Corruption Guidelines, of the Antitrust Code of Conduct or of the company's rules that are relevant or have an impact within the context of the employment relationship, affecting the related fiduciary basis, without prejudice, however, to any action permitted by the law to protect the interests of the Company.
For the purposes of the above, the assessment of the relevant prerequisites is delegated to the Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, which shall meet and deliberate collectively under the chairmanship of the most senior independent Director.
The Company has the right to offset sums that are the subject of the request for restitution against any sums that may be due for any reason to the beneficiary of the variable remuneration; in this case the set-off shall be effective, after ascertaining the relevant conditions, from the time of notification of the exercise of compensatory power by the Company to the other party; this shall be without prejudice to any other action provided for by law to protect the Company's assets and interests, including in terms of its reputation and image.
The Company adopts as a practice an ABS Plan described in the criteria, terms and conditions in a specific regulation examined in advance by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The regulations of the current ABS Plan were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2021, with the support of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The purpose of the ABS Plan, which has not been substantially modified with respect to the previous one, is always to continue to support the corporate strategy, the management of sustainability issues and the improvement of short-term economic performance, promoting and spreading a culture of value creation in all strategic and operational decisions, as well as to encourage the retention of strategic management figures.
A summary description of the ABS Plan is provided below.
The beneficiaries of the incentive provided for in the ABS Plan are: Executive Directors holding special offices identified by the Board of Directors, the General Manager, Executives with strategic responsibilities, Senior Managers, Middle Managers and special/key roles, who, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and/or the delegated body, assisted by the Human Resources Manager, hold the managerial levers required to influence the determining factors in the Company's value creation, for the annual reference period.
The system is based on a structured process of defining the objectives and the incentives linked to them, with a financial access condition (the so-called on/off condition for activating the Annual Bonus System plan) established in the Group's consolidated net result at the date of approval of the draft financial statements for the reference year, which must not be negative.
The system provides for a mechanism linking it to the Group's results and in particular with the consolidated EBIT of the Group, for which an Objective Target Value and an Objective Threshold Value is foreseen, whose exceedance enables the Beneficiaries to access any bonus accrued by virtue of assigned objectives.
The Executive Directors shall abstain from voting on the definition of the Objective Threshold Value and the definition of all other threshold/target/over-performance levels of the performance indicators for the incentive system in the short term, as well as in the long term where there is an impact on their own remuneration.
The objective for the ABS Plan is identified in the consolidated EBIT of the Group, which differs from the budget value and to which a target value ("Objective Target Value") is added. The Delegated Body annually proposes the target value, in accordance with the budget defined for the year of reference and approved by the Board of Directors. In particular, the performance gate curve of the bonus system envisages a Objective Target Value equal to 90.0% of the Objective Threshold Value and a maximum value equal to 110.0% of the Objective Target Value. In particular, if the ABS Objective Threshold Value is reached, the Monetary Bonus payable corresponds to 50% of the bonus accrued, while if it is not reached, no monetary bonus is paid. Exceeding the ABS Objective Target Value allows the bonus to be paid up to a maximum of 150% of the accrued monetary bonus (over performance).
In the event that the total performance achieved is between the Objective Threshold Value and the Objective Target Value, or between the Objective Target Value and the maximum Target Value (over performance) respectively, the Monetary Bonus will be calculated on a pro rata basis (using a pure linearity mechanism). The performance gate is structured in such a way as to ensure the economic sustainability of the ABS Plan, so that the costs of the entire incentive relating to the Plan are included in the objectives of the Business Plan, where the cost of the plan is "self-financed" by the achievement of the objectives; to this end, the financial statements of the year in question will indicate the aforesaid costs for which provision is made.
The Objective Threshold Value may be modified by the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Committee, in the event of profound changes in the macroeconomic and/or business scenario and in consideration of potential one-off events, both negative and positive, which may occur during the reference financial year and which are independent from the actions of the Beneficiaries. In addition, extraordinary effects, both negative and positive, will be assessed in the final balance at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Committee, verifies the level of achievement of the objectives at the end of the year and on the basis of performances achieved.
The system is the sum of the results of 2 sets of Performance Targets:
There will be a maximum of 4 objectives for each Beneficiary. These are challenging objectives, linked to the creation of value for the time period in question and in view of the role held.
More specifically, consider the following:
Each Beneficiary is entitled to receive their awarded Monetary Bonus on condition that the specific Performance Targets assigned on the basis of the role held have been achieved.
The scheme of objectives is as follows:
| Role of Beneficiaries | Condition | Collective Performance | Individual Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| On/Off activation Plan/Bonus | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| payment | |||
| Executive Directors | - Consolidated non-negative Group net result at the date of approval of the draft financial statements for the year in question. - Exceeding the Objective Threshold Value |
Weight 30%: • Objective Threshold Value |
Weight 70%: • strategic function (60%); ESG sustainability • target (10%) |
| Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, Senior Managers and key/specialised roles within the organisation |
- Consolidated non-negative Group net result at the date of approval of the draft financial statements for the year in question. - Exceeding the Objective Threshold Value |
Weight 30%: • Objective Threshold Value |
Weight 70%: • strategic function (60%); • ESG sustainability target (10%) |
Every year, the Company's management promotes plenary and individual meetings with the people identified as beneficiaries, in order to illustrate the incentive system for the year in question and assign economic and qualitative targets the Company sets out to achieve.
As common practice, the Company adopts an LTI-Cash Plan described in the criteria, terms and conditions in a specific regulation examined in advance by the Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The regulations of the current LTI-Cash Plan were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2021, with the support of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The purpose of the LTI-Cash Plan 2021-2022- 2023, which has been modified with respect to the previous one in relation to the target definition criteria, is always to continue to support the corporate strategy, the management of sustainability issues and the improvement of mid/long-term economic performance, promoting and spreading a culture of value creation in all strategic and operational decisions, as well as to encourage the retention of strategic management figures.
A summary description of the LTI-Cash Plan is provided below.
The beneficiaries of the incentive provided for in the LTI-Cash Plan are: Executive Directors holding special offices identified by the Board of Directors, the General Manager, Executives with strategic responsibilities, Senior Managers, Middle Managers and special/key roles, who, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and/or the delegated body, assisted by the Human Resources Manager, hold the managerial levers required to influence the determining factors in the Company's value creation, for the 2021-2022-2023 reference period.
The system is based on a structured process of defining the objectives and related incentives with a financial access condition (so-called on/off condition for the activation of the LTI-Cash plan) established in the Group's consolidated net result for the financial years 2021-2022-2023, which, at the date of approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the relevant financial years, is not negative (on-off pre-requisite for the activation of the Plan).
The system provides for a mechanism linking it to the Group's results and in particular with the consolidated EBIT of the Group, for which an Objective Target Value and an Objective Threshold Value is foreseen, whose exceedance enables the Beneficiaries to access any bonus accrued by virtue of assigned objectives.
The Executive Directors shall abstain from voting on the definition of the Objective Threshold Value and the definition of all other threshold/target/over-performance levels of the performance indicators for the shortterm incentive system, as well as for the long-term one where there is an impact on their own remuneration.
Servizi Italia S.p.A. – Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid – Year 2022
The objective for the LTI Cash Plan is identified in the consolidated EBIT of the Group, which differs from the industrial plan and to which a target value ("Objective Target Value") is added. The Delegated Body proposes the target value, in accordance with the industrial plan defined for the period of reference and approved by the Board of Directors. In particular, the performance gate curve of the bonus system envisages an Objective Threshold Value equal to 95.0% of the Objective Target Value ("Objective Threshold Value") and a maximum value equal to 110.0% of the Objective Target Value. In particular, if the LTI Objective Threshold Value is reached, the monetary bonus payable corresponds to 50% of the bonus accrued, while if it is not reached, no monetary bonus is paid. Exceeding the ABS Objective Target Value allows the bonus to be paid up to a maximum of 150% of the accrued monetary bonus (over performance).
In addition the accrued Monetary Bonus is influenced by:
In the event that the total performance achieved is between the Objective Threshold Value and the Objective Target Value, or between the Objective Target Value and the maximum Target Value (over performance) respectively, the Monetary Bonus is calculated on a pro rata basis (using a pure linearity mechanism). The performance gate is structured in such a way as to ensure the economic sustainability of the LTI-Cash Plan, whereby the costs of the entire incentive relating to the Plan are included in the objectives of the Business Plan, so that the cost of the plan is "self-financed" by the achievement of the objectives; to this end, the financial statements of the relevant financial year will indicate the aforesaid costs for which provision is made.
The Objective Threshold Value may be modified by the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Committee, in the event of significant changes in the macroeconomic and/or business scenario and in consideration of potential negative or positive one-off events that may occur during the vesting period, which are independent from the actions of the Beneficiaries. In addition, extraordinary effects, both negative and positive, will be assessed in the final balance at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Company's management promotes plenary and individual meetings with the people identified as beneficiaries, in order to illustrate the incentive system for the vesting period in question, and assign the economic and qualitative objectives that the Company sets out to achieve.
In Servizi Italia, it is common practice not to enter into agreements with Directors, Executives with strategic responsibilities and Senior Managers that regulate ex ante the economic aspects of any early termination of the relationship at the initiative of the Company or the individual (so-called parachutes).
In the event of termination of the existing relationship with the Company or Group companies, for reasons other than just cause, the orientation is to seek agreements for the termination of the relationship by mutual consent. In the presence of variable components of any remuneration package paid, the contractual agreements foresee that the Company may request their return, in whole or in part, where such variable components have been paid on the basis of data that later proved to be manifestly incorrect.
Without prejudice, in any case, to legal and/or contractual obligations, the agreements for the termination of the relationship with the Group are based on the reference benchmarks on the subject, within the limits defined by the jurisprudence and practices of the country in which the agreement is concluded.
Servizi Italia S.p.A. – Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid – Year 2022
On the termination of office and/or dissolution of the relationship with an executive Director or a General Manager, Servizi Italia shall publish detailed information regarding the internal processes relating to the allocation or recognition of indemnities and/or other benefits, in compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, in a specific press release circulated to the market.
With regard to Directors holding special offices, to whom specific powers have been delegated and who are not linked by executive employment relationships, generally the Company does not provide for the payment of indemnities or compensation of an extraordinary nature linked to the end of their mandate.
In the event that Servizi Italia S.p.A. decides to adopt, in the interest of the Company, specific indemnities or determines to stipulate specific consulting contracts with a Director or Executive with strategic responsibilities who has ceased to hold office, such decisions shall be adopted in coherence with the strategy, the values and the medium-long term interests of the Servizi Italia Group and, in any case, shall take into account the following guiding principles:
The General Manager and Executives with strategic responsibilities are bound to the Company by virtue of employment contracts of indefinite duration, with the following notice periods: (i) 6 months, for seniority up to 6 years; (ii) 8 months, for seniority up to 10 years; (iii) 10 months, for seniority up to 15 years; (iv) 12 months, for seniority over 15 years. The total time limit must not exceed 12 months. A resigning manager must give notice, the terms of which will be 1/3 of those indicated above, as provided for in the CCNL Industry Managers agreement.
The Company may enter into confidentiality and non-competition agreements with its Executive Directors, Executives with strategic responsibilities, Senior Managers or with collaborators with particularly strategic professional skills. These provide for: (i) the recognition of an additional consideration in relation to the G.A.R./fixed remuneration component set in accordance with market practice, which, as a general rule and save in exceptional cases, does not exceed for each year of the duration of the non-competition agreement the annual G.A.R./fixed remuneration component recognised under the agreement; (ii) the duration and extent of the obligation arising from the agreement. The constraint refers to the reference sector in which the Group operates at the time of defining the agreement, and to the territorial/geographical extension.
The Company has entered into a confidentiality and non-competition agreement with Mr. Andrea Gozzi (General Manager) for a period of 12 months following the termination of the employment relationship (resignation of the executive or for just cause or justified subjective reason), for which the consideration corresponds to a gross annual sum of Euro 50,000 for the entire duration of the employment relationship with the Company.
In exceptional circumstances, a temporary derogation from the Remuneration Policy is allowed, subject to the conditions laid down in this section.
The competent bodies of Servizi Italia S.p.A. may, in particular to:
The exceptional circumstances in which the above exceptions are permitted are those in which an exception is necessary in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of business operations of the Company and Group, or to ensure the Company's and the Group's ability to stay in the market, and include but are not limited to the following situations:
In the cases of exemption from the Remuneration Policy provided for in this section, the Company will apply the procedure and obligations provided for in the Regulation on Transactions with Related Parties adopted by the Company in compliance with Consob Regulation No. 17221/2010 (as amended and supplemented), including in
the case of an exemption provided for in the Regulation on TRP (by way of example, where the transaction qualifies as a small amount). In any case, it remains necessary to obtain the prior opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code where the waiver concerns the remuneration of Directors holding special offices.
The Remuneration Policy adopted for the 2021-2023 three-year period and illustrated in Section I of this Report does not present substantial changes compared to that described in the Remuneration Report published in 2021 and approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2021, and is in line with the regulatory changes introduced by Consob with resolution No. 21623 of 10 December 2020 implementing SHRD 2 (EU Directive 2017/828).
In compliance with the provisions of Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Company has made use of the option to provide for a three-year term of the Remuneration Policy.
In the opinion of the Board of Directors and of the Committee, the Policy is suitable to allow a correct definition of competitive remuneration levels and to promote internal fairness and transparency.
In preparing the Policy, the Company did not use the assistance of consulting firms and/or external experts.
At the date of this Report, Servizi Italia S.p.A. had no incentive plans based on financial instruments in place pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
This section, by name, for the members of the administrative and control bodies and for the General Manager, and in aggregate form for the other Executives with strategic responsibilities:
There are no additional Executives with strategic responsibilities in the Company who during the year 2022 received higher total remuneration than the highest total remuneration received by the Directors and General Manager. It should also be noted that the Company qualifies as a smaller company pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 1, letter f) of Consob Regulation No. 17221/10. Therefore, for additional Executives with strategic responsibilities, information is provided in aggregate form.
It should be noted that in 2022, in addition to the General Manager Andrea Gozzi, the following qualified as Company's Executives with strategic responsibilities, even for a portion of the time: Ilaria Eugeniani, Manager of Administration, Finance and Control, Angelo Minotta, Manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports, Giovanni Manti, Organisation and Systems Manager.
Details of the compensation paid in the financial year 2022 to the members of the administrative and control bodies, to the General Manager as well as to the other Executives with strategic responsibilities are illustrated in the tables below.
Please note that the Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2021 resolved to establish in:
Furthermore, the Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 April 2021 resolved, among other thing, to grant the Board of Directors the power to recognise to Directors the non-monetary benefits and additional indemnities contemplated by the remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.
In accordance with the Policy, also with reference to the 2022 financial year, the distribution criterion adopted for the Board of Directors and the Committees was the following:
Servizi Italia S.p.A. – Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid – Year 2022

• with reference to the variable remuneration of each member of the Executive Committee; (i) if not already identified as a beneficiary of variable remuneration by virtue of the role of Executive of the Company, a remuneration of a maximum of Euro 15,000.00 gross per year, in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy applicable from time to time and linked to the achievement the objectives set by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company's applicable Annual Bonus System Plan; (ii) if not already identified as beneficiary of the variable remuneration by virtue of the role of Executive of the Company, a remuneration of a maximum of Euro 30,000.00 as a total gross variable remuneration in the medium-long term in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy from time to time applicable and linked to the achievement of the objectives set by the Board of Directors in line with the Company's applicable Long Term Incentive Cash Plan.
In line with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company, the remuneration of the General Manager and of the other Executives with strategic responsibilities for the year 2022 was composed of the following elements:
In compliance with the Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021, it is noted that the Board of Directors of 14 March 2023, with the assistance of the Committee, assessed and approved the partial payment of the monetary bonuses to Executive Directors and Executive with strategic responsibilities participating in the 2022 ABS Plan upon reaching the threshold of the 2022 ABS Plan (Group non-negative consolidated net result), the collective performance target (linked to the Group consolidated EBIT) and of certain individual performance objectives assigned (with regard to executive Directors and the General Manager, in particular the ESG objectives identified for the 2022 financial year by the Sustainability Plan of the Servizi Italia Group described within the Statement of non-financial information pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 254/2016, relative to the implementation in the Group's subsidiaries in Italy and abroad of the Servizi Italia Compliance Program were achieved, in addition to the reported collective performance objective). It should be noted that the Company avails itself of the option provided for in Annex 3A, Schedule 7-bis to the Issuers' Regulations to omit detailed information on the targets to which the payment of the variable remuneration component for Executive Directors and the General Manager is linked, since this is sensitive information and unpublished forecast data, whose disclosure could be prejudicial to the Company.
For details on the variable remuneration components of Executive Directors, the General Manager and Executives with strategic responsibilities accrued in the financial year 2022, refer to the tables in the second part of the second section of this Report.
The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors also receive an emolument, whose amount is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of their appointment. In particular, the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2020, with the renewal of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three-year period 2020-2021-2022, resolved to set the fixed annual gross remuneration of its Chairperson at Euro 25,000 per year, and that of the members at Euro 20,000 per year. The Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2022, on the occasion of the aforementioned integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors, confirmed for the newly appointed Standing Auditor a remuneration of Euro 20,000 per year, in line with the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2020
at the time of appointment of the control body. In execution of the Remuneration Policy, the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are precluded from any form of variable remuneration, while recognising a social security fund and/or reimbursement of expenses for the exercise of the office of Statutory Auditor.
In the 2022 financial year, no indemnities and/or benefits for the termination of office or for the termination of the employment relationship were attributed to executive directors or to the chairman of the management body.
No exceptions to the 2021-2023 Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021 were applied during the 2022 financial year.
During the 2022 financial year, no ex-post correction mechanisms were applied to the variable remuneration components recognised for previous years.
