Dear Shareholders,
In my capacity as Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and also on behalf of the Committee and the Board, I am proud to present you Avio the "Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid" of Avio S.p.A. (hereinafter "Avio" or the "Company").
This Report seeks to inform Stakeholders (shareholders, employees and customers) concerning the correspondence between the Company's remuneration policies and business strategies: for Avio, remuneration represents a key tool in aligning the interests of top management with those of our stakeholders, contributing to the pursuit of the Company's corporate strategy, long-term interests and sustainability. The ability to attract, retain and motivate management is a key factor for any company which, like Avio, operates in a highlyspecialised sector requiring constant and rapid alignment to the requirements imposed by the market and technological development.
In this perspective, the Committee prepared and submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors the remuneration policy for 2023 (illustrated in the first section of this Report), in line with the corporate context of Avio. For Avio, success is measured on the basis of economic, financial and equity results, but also, in broader terms, on human, social, relational and environmental capital: our policies are inspired by sustainability, inclusiveness and the incentivisation of equal opportunities.
As detailed below, the policy for 2023 has some new elements. Specifically, Avio, which has adopted long-term incentive plans since it was listed, intends to set up a new Performance Share Plan for the 2023-2025 period, subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting. The allocation for the last cycle of the Monetary Long-Term Incentive Plan was made in 2022, and the new 2023-2025 plan is proposed as a share-based plan. The decision to propose a stock-based plan seeks to strengthen the link between management remuneration and the shareholder perspective, and is consistent with the practice of the main players in the aerospace and defence industry. The three-year performance targets to which the Plan is linked build upon the approach of the previous plan, and include economic/financial targets measured over the three-year period and ESG targets. A new incentive curve, consistent with market practice, is proposed in order to emphasise the power of incentives to reward performance exceeding the target and, at the same time, to allow for a more significant reduction in bonuses for below-target performance.
Avio also plans to develop a tool to involve and retain talented middle managers in a market that is more competitive than ever in terms of attraction and retention. For this reason, subject to Shareholders' Meeting approval, it proposes to launch a restricted share plan dedicated to middle management, which therefore excludes the CEO/DG or the Senior Executives, providing for the allocation of shares at the end of a three-year period subject to continued employment with the company.
In preparation for the renewal of the Board of Directors' term of office, the Committee carried out in-depth market practice and benchmarking analysis to enable it to formulate proposals for the Shareholders' Meeting regarding the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors for the next three years. The benchmarking activities also covered the remuneration package of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Senior Executives and resulted in a proposed revision, which was approved by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2023.
Throughout the year, Avio maintained an ongoing dialogue with investors and stakeholders, who showed significant appreciation of our Policies at the most recent Shareholders' Meeting. The remuneration policy described in this Report takes into consideration the feedback from the Company's stakeholders. It should be noted that top management is directly involved in business risk by means of holdings in the share capital of Avio S.p.A. These are held through the investment vehicle In Orbit S.p.A. which at December 31, 2022 represents

4.1% of share capital, and is the third largest shareholder of the Company. Moreover, this equity investment has increased over time from 3.7% at the time of listing to the current 4.1%, demonstrating the alignment of interests between management and shareholders in relation to business risk.
The Shareholders' Meeting is called to appoint Avio's new Board of Directors, which will be in office until the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2025 Annual Accounts. As we pass the baton to the new Committee, confident that the work done will be appreciated by you and that the information provided will be useful and comprehensive, we submit for your attention Avio's report on the 2023 remuneration policy and the remuneration paid in 2022, and hope that you will give it a positive reception at the Shareholders' Meeting.

This Report was prepared by Avio in accordance with Article 123-ter of the CFA, Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation and Annex 3-A, Schedule 7-bis, in addition to, on the basis of self-regulation, Article 5 of the Corporate Governance Code, with which Avio complies.
Pursuant to Article 123-ter of the CFA, the Report comprises two sections.
Section I outlines the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company for Financial Year 2023, with regards to the following parties:
Section I of the Report also outlines the procedures utilised for the preparation and adoption of the Remuneration Policy, in addition to the bodies and parties responsible for the Policy's correct implementation.
The Remuneration Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2023, with the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. As resolved, the Remuneration Policy will be updated on an annual basis.
Section II of the Report for the year 2022 outlines each of the items comprising the remuneration of the individuals listed at points (i), (ii) and (iii), as well as an analysis (in a specific table) of the remuneration paid to these parties, in any regard and in any form by the Company or by its subsidiaries in 2022, in addition to remuneration not yet paid at the Report approval date, although relating to 2022. In addition, a comparison for the years 2019-2022 between the change in compensation for members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, employee compensation and the Company's performance is shown.
A relative table, as per Article 84-quater, paragraph 4 of the Issuers' Regulation, presents holdings in the Company or its subsidiaries by these parties and by parties related to them.
This Report is sent to Borsa Italiana and is made available to the public at the registered office of Avio (in Rome, via Leonida Bissolati 76, Rome) and on the Company's website www.avio.com, "Corporate Governance" section, at least twenty-one days before the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2022 Annual Accounts.
On March 13, 2023, Avio's Board of Directors resolved to submit: (i) Section I of the Report on the 2023 Remuneration Policy to a binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting; and (ii) Section II on compensation paid in 2022 to an advisory vote.

The Remuneration Policy and Report represents the liaison between the Company's strategic development targets and management action. The structure and rationale for the policies are designed to be consistent with the Company's goals of growth and long-term shareholder value creation. In particular, the selection of economic and financial indicators and the processes for defining and monitoring targets are designed to support and incentivise management to achieve the Group's targets.
Avio's business model and long-term sustainability is based on its capacity for development and technological innovation, and therefore on its ability to attract and develop highly qualified resources at both managerial and technical-scientific level. For this, the remuneration policy is a key tool. The criteria and tools adopted in the policy incorporate the most advanced elements of national and international best market practices. In this context, long-term sustainability, a structural characteristic of the Group's long history, is a priority target that led in 2020 to the inclusion of specific parameters, complementary to the economic and financial targets, against which to measure management performance. These sustainability targets reinforce the active role that Avio has always played in collaboration with the main institutional stakeholders at an international level (such as the European Space Agency, the European Union and the European Commission),- at a national level (such as the Italian Space Agency and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers), and at a local level (such as the Municipal Administration of Colleferro).
Avio's Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors and Senior Executives is based on the following principles and criteria:

Our incentive systems reflect Avio's performance drivers, closely linked to the key priorities of the Company's strategy:
| Profitability and value for shareholders |
Financial Solidity | Value for stakeholders | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Our Objectives | Ability to obtain results in the short- and medium-term, enhancing return on investment |

Pay-mix - performance target Pay-mix - maximum performance


Avio considers it fundamental to build and maintain an open dialogue with shareholders and stakeholders. The vote cast by shareholders is an element that is strongly considered in establishing the Policies.
The 2022 Shareholders' Meeting cast a binding vote on Section I of the Report, expressing 96.7% favourable votes of the total votes cast, and an advisory vote on Section II of the Report, expressing 97.6% favourable

votes of the total votes cast. The following graphs show the voting trends with regard to Section I and Section II of the Remuneration Policy Report over the 2020-2022 period.




The Remuneration Policy defines the principles and guidelines adopted by Avio for the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and Senior Executives. The Remuneration Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2023, with the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. As resolved, the Remuneration Policy will be updated on an annual basis.
The principal parties and boards involved in the preparation, approval and any revision of the Remuneration Policy are the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors. The Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee are also responsible for the correct implementation of the Remuneration Policy and oversee its correct implementation. A brief description of the duties, which in accordance with the applicable regulation and the By-Laws are required of these Boards with regards to the remuneration of the Directors, is provided below.
In 2020, the Sustainability Committee was set up, composed only of Independent Directors whose task is to assist the Board of Directors with investigative functions, of a propositional and consultative nature, in the evaluations and decisions relative to sustainability issues falling within the remit of the Board, also in relation to Remuneration Policies.
The Shareholders' Meeting:
The Board of Directors:

Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code, and allocates the fixed annual remuneration, determined in the aggregate by the Shareholders' Meeting, payable to the Non-Executive Directors as provided in Article 15 of the By-Laws;
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee provides consultation and proposals, and in terms of remuneration:
The Committee is also assigned, with respect to remuneration issues alone, the duties allocated to the committee responsible for related party transactions as per the Related Party Transactions Policy adopted by the Company. For significant related party transactions, where the Committee does not include at least three Independent Directors, the controls at Article 14 of the stated Policy apply.
This committee guarantees the broadest scope of information and transparency on the remuneration of the Executive Directors, as well as the manner for determining their remuneration. In any case, as per Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee has solely the function of presenting proposals, while the power of determining the remuneration of Executive Directors remains with the Board of Directors, having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors and in any case with the abstention of the interested Directors regarding decisions upon their own remuneration.

At the date of approval of this Report, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee consists of three Non-Executive Directors, independently appointed by Board of Directors' motion of May 14, 2020, namely:
At the time of their appointment, the Board of Directors positively assessed the Independent Directors Giovanni Gorno Tempini, Monica Auteri and Donatella Isaia as having adequate knowledge and expertise in financial matters and experience in the field of remuneration policies.
The composition, tasks and procedures of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee are governed by the Corporate Governance Code and the regulation adopted by the Committee.
The meetings of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee are chaired by the Chairperson or, in his/her absence or impediment, the eldest member of the Committee. The meetings are held as a collective and are appropriately minuted.
The Directors do not take part in meetings of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee at which proposals upon their specific remuneration of the Board of Directors are drawn up.
Meetings of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee are attended by the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors and its members and, on invitation, by representatives of company departments and independent experts and/or other parties, whose participation is considered beneficial for the discussion of the matters at issue.
Where considered necessary or beneficial for the execution of its duties, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee may utilise outside remuneration policy consultants. In 2022, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee met on five occasions. The meeting attendance of Committee members are reported in the table at the bottom of Section 4.2.1 of the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report, available on the company website www.avio.com, "Corporate Governance" section.
The Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, the Human Resources Director and collaborators, the General Counsel, the Legal Department collaborators, in addition to consultants supporting the Company on specific projects reviewed by the Committee, usually attended the Appointments and Remuneration Committee meetings, on its invitation. The Chief Executive Officer/General Manager did not take part in the Committee's discussions concerning decisions upon his remuneration or which would put him in a conflict of interest situation.
In 2022 and, in any event, up to the date of this Report, the Committee's activities were primarily concerned with:

The Executive Director is tasked with:
The Board of Statutory Auditors expresses an opinion upon the remuneration proposals of the Executive Directors, in accordance with Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, verifying the consistency of such with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company.

The independent audit firm of Avio verifies that the Directors have prepared the second section of the Report, as required by Article 123-ter, paragraph 8-bis of the CFA.
Avio regularly monitors Italian and international market practice, with a focus on the aerospace and defence sector, including by conducting specific analyses to verify the consistency of its remuneration policy.
The following panels were identified to supply data for the remuneration benchmarks, carried out by independent consulting firms:

In preparing the Remuneration Policy, the Company was assisted in salary benchmarking by the independent experts Willis Towers Watson and Korn Ferry, leading consultancy firms in the area of human resources development and organisation, and advisor in the definition of the 2023 Policies.

Avio's Remuneration Policy is based on the following key principles and is defined according to the following criteria:
Avio's Remuneration Policy contributes to the attainment of the Company's mission, values and strategies, taking into account the remuneration and conditions of Group employees, through:
annual remuneration prepared by the Company;
· initiatives to support employees' purchasing power.

The Remuneration Policy provides that the fixed and variable components (this latter in turn split between short and medium/long-term) are established on the basis of principles and processes according to the beneficiary category.
The Company in any case considered it appropriate to create a remuneration system based on the Executive/managerial responsibilities of the parties concerned and therefore independently set the criteria for determining the remuneration of:
At Avio, there are four Senior Executives.
All Directors receive a fixed remuneration which appropriately compensates the work and commitment they provide to the Company.
On May 6, 2020, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolved to award each Director a gross annual remuneration of Euro 35,000 and a gross annual remuneration of Euro 120,000 to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, in continuity with the amount of fees established for the members of the Board of Directors in the previous three-year period and in line with market practices.
On July 28, 2020, the Board of Directors also resolved to award the members of the internal Board Committees the following fees, in line with market practices, for the 2020-2022 mandate:
Within the scope of its prerogatives, the 2023 Shareholders' Meeting will decide on the remuneration for the 2023-2025 term of office, pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 1. The Board of Directors that is to take office after the Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2023, following a proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and having obtained the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, will, within the scope of its prerogatives, decide on the remuneration pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code in accordance with this Policy's guidelines.
The Non-Executive Directors (whether independent or not) are granted a fixed remuneration, the overall amount of which is established by the Shareholders' Meeting, allocated on an individual basis by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389 of the Civil Code.
The remuneration of these Directors is not based on any financial results or specific targets of the Company

and is commensurate with the commitment required, also in relation to participation on internal Board Committees, for which specific remuneration is allocated.
The remuneration of the Executive Director (Chief Executive Officer/General Manager) is adequately balanced between short-term development targets and the sustainable creation of value for Shareholders over the longterm period.
Specifically, the Executive Director's remuneration structure is made up of:
The value of the annual variable component for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of Avio is 75% of the fixed remuneration on achievement of the target, with a maximum of 100% of the fixed remuneration. The payment of discretional bonuses is not envisaged;
▪ a long-term variable component: this component seeks to incentivise Executive Directors to maximise the value of the Group and to align their interests with those of the shareholders. The payment of this remuneration will be deferred to the conclusion of a three-year timeframe, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions (as per the following paragraphs) measured over a multi-year period.
For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, the value of the target bonus, subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting, is 60% of fixed remuneration, with a maximum value of 90%.
We note on March 28, 2022, Avio's Board of Directors resolved to cancel the 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 cycles of the 2020-24 Long-Term Plan, of which the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager was a beneficiary, with a target bonus value equal to 60% of fixed remuneration and a maximum value equal to 75%.
The Chief Executive Officer/General Manager is among the beneficiaries of the 2022-24 extraordinary Performance Share Plan, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2022. The plan provides for a one-time grant of rights to receive shares of the Company at the end of the 2022-24 performance period, depending on the degree to which a target reflecting the Company's financial viability is achieved. The initial nominal value of the award - which corresponds to a reduced portion of the sum of the awards related to the cancelled 2020-22 and 2021-23 cycles - for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager is equal to 72% of fixed compensation upon achievement of targets and 108% in the event of maximum performance.
▪ fringe benefits: fringe benefits provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations. In particular, the Executive Director of Avio, in addition to the benefits under the Industry Executives Collective Bargaining Agreement, is assigned two company cars and supplementary life and total and permanent invalidity accident insurance.

For a description of the short-term variable component and of the long term component of the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, reference should be made to Paragraph 3.4.
We note that on March 13, 2023, following a proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors considered the revision of the CEO/GM's remuneration package, in view of the benchmarking analysis carried out with the help of an independent advisor and based on a panel of companies comparable in sector and size, and the need to ensure an attractive remuneration offer in a particularly competitive environment, aligning it with the panel average. No such action had been taken since Avio was listed, in 2017. Specifically, the changes introduced include:
All the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors receive a fixed remuneration which appropriately compensates the work and commitment provided by the Statutory Auditors to the Company.
The Shareholders' Meeting held on May 6, 2020 resolved, for the 2020-2022 three-year period, to attribute to the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors a remuneration of Euro 50,000 per year and to the Statutory Auditors a remuneration of Euro 35,000 per year, in line with the remuneration attributed to the Board of Statutory Auditors for the 2017-2020 three-year period and with the practices of the listed companies of the STAR segment with levels of capitalisation comparable to Avio.
The next Shareholders' Meeting will be asked to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three-year period 2023-2025, and to set out in the appointment decision the relevant remuneration, which will be determined in relation to the competence, professionalism and commitment required of the members of the Board and will take into account recently produced market benchmarks.
The remuneration of Senior Executives is structured so as to focus management on company results and the creation of value.
The remuneration of Senior Executives is composed of:

responsibility, measured according to predominantly quantitative, financial and earnings indicators, or operating indicators. In determining the short-term variable component, the achievement of business results and individual/area/function results are therefore combined.
The average value of the annual variable component for Avio Senior Executives is 30% of the fixed remuneration on achievement of targets, with a maximum amount (capped) of 50% of the fixed remuneration.
No forms of discretional variable remuneration are envisaged.
• a long-term variable component: this component seeks to incentivise Senior Executives to maximise the value of the Group and to align their interests with those of the shareholders. The payment of this remuneration will be deferred to the conclusion of a three-year timeframe, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions measured over a multi-year period.
For Senior Executives, the value of the target bonus, subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting, is 35% of fixed remuneration, with a maximum value of 52.5%.
On March 28, 2022, Avio's Board of Directors approved the cancellation of the 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 cycles of the 2020-24 Long-Term Plan.
The Senior Executives are among the beneficiaries of the 2022-24 extraordinary Performance Share Plan, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2022. The plan provides for a one-time grant of rights to receive shares of the Company at the end of the 2022-24 performance period, depending on the degree to which a target reflecting the Company's financial viability is achieved. The initial nominal value of the award - which corresponds to a reduced portion of the sum of the awards related to the cancelled 2020- 22 and 2021-23 cycles - for Senior Executives is equal to 42% of fixed compensation upon achievement of targets and 63% in the event of maximum performance.
• fringe benefits: fringe benefits provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations. In particular, the Senior Executives of Avio, in addition to the benefits under the Industry Executives Collective Bargaining Agreement, are assigned a company car and/or accommodation and supplementary life and total and permanent invalidity accident insurance.
For the description of the short-term variable component and the long-term variable component for Senior Executives, reference should be made to Paragraph 3.4.
The variable remuneration system of Avio includes a short-term variable component and a medium/longterm variable component.
The annual incentive system provides for the payment of a monetary bonus on the reaching of the pre-set annual targets. This system is reviewed every year by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, which proposes to the Board of Directors the targets for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and the Senior Executives, identifying the metrics.
The beneficiaries of the system are, in addition to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and the Senior Executives, Avio's managers and professionals. The value of the target bonus is based also on the level of responsibility of the role, according to pre-set "brackets"; each beneficiary, depending on their bracket, is assigned a variable target bonus expressed as a percentage of the fixed remuneration on achieving the pre-set targets; a maximum amount is established where the targets are exceeded.

The right to a variable bonus is subject to achieving a minimum level of results relating to the company's preestablished economic and financial targets. These are measured in terms of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Financial Position, each with equivalent weight.
The Group's Adjusted EBITDA (50%) and Net Financial Position (50%) are used as performance indicators. Business targets are set with respect to the budget approved by the Board of Directors.
The choice of the two economic-financial indicators allows for a balanced reflection of the Company's economic and financial performance, in line with the practices of the benchmark. In particular, the Adjusted EBITDA expresses the capacity to generate profits independently of any non-recurring effects attributable to a single year; the Net Financial Position expresses the ability to maintain the net cash position within the value pre-set for the reference year.
For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, the bonus is exclusively linked to company targets in terms of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Financial Position, establishing:
The following diagram shows the link between targets and the bonus for achieving the minimum, target and maximum targets for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager (the value of the bonus is expressed as a % of fixed remuneration)
| Target | Description | Weighting | Performance scenarios | Bonus (% GAR) |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA | Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) is a measure of the Company's profitability that is not affected by non-recurring items |
50% | Minimum Target Maximum |
Budget target - 11% Budget target Budget target + 11% |
40% 75% 115% |
| Net Financial Position |
The indicator meets the need to measure management's ability to maintain a level of liquidity adequate for current operations during the reporting period |
50% | Minimum Target Maximum |
Budget target -17% Budget target Budget target +17% |
40% 75% 115% |
The 2022 Policies provided, in the case of particularly challenging annual targets, an option for the Board to set a (de)multiplier to increase or decrease the value of the final bonus paid, in line with the level of achievement of annual targets in terms of Adjusted EBITDA and Group Net Financial Position. Starting with the 2022 Policies, this (de)multiplier was no longer applied for Senior Executives. Starting with the 2023 Policies, this (de)multiplier will no longer be applied for CEO/GMs. Following the decision to stop applying the (de)multiplier, the maximum value (cap) of the CEO/GM incentive was updated to partially offset this change.

Given the confidential nature of the economic-financial targets, it is not possible to provide more detail on the individual parameters ex-ante; in any case, the Company's various economic-financial performance targets, including the minimum and maximum range, are the subject of explicit guidance to the market and outlined in the relevant press releases. Section II of the Report sets out details of the results achieved.
For Senior Executives, the bonus is linked for 50% to company objectives (Adjusted EBITDA, Net Financial Position) and for 50% to individual objectives: between four and five specific management objectives, to which economic-financial indicators are linked, or rather annual operating indicators. In determining the overall individual performance, each target is assigned a differing weight.
The annual target for the theoretical bonus for Senior Executives is 30% of the fixed remuneration on achieving the target targets; the maximum amount (capped) is 50% while the minimum amount is 8% (corresponding to the individual and corporate threshold value below which no bonus is earned).
The following diagram shows the link between targets and the bonus expected upon achievement of the minimum target, target, maximum for Senior Executives (the value of the bonus is expressed as a % of fixed remuneration) for 2023:

On March 13, 2023, the Board of Directors approved, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the new 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan (the "Plan"), which will be submitted for approval by the Shareholders' Meeting. Its beneficiaries are the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, Senior Executives and other Managers with strategic roles in the Company.

The Plan provides for the grant of rights to receive shares in the Company at the end of a three-year performance period, depending on the level of achievement of predetermined performance targets. Avio plans to launch the new Plan following the conclusion of the Monetary Long-Term Incentive Plan, for which the last allocation was made in 2022. Choosing a share-based Plan makes it possible to link remuneration more strongly with the shareholder perspective, using a portion of the treasury shares held by the company following the buyback approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.
The long-term incentive plan is linked to two three-year cumulative economic and financial performance indicators of the business plan and to ESG indicators: the economic and financial indicators are the three-year cumulative Reported EBITDA and the Return on Invested Capital3 ; there are four ESG indicators, as indicated below: (i) Gender diversity4 ; (ii) Gender pay gap5 ; (iii) Waste Management 6 ; (iv) Employee Training7 .
The economic and financial indicators weigh 84% overall and ESG metrics weigh 16% (4% for each of the four indicators).
The Plan's beneficiaries will be identified at a later date and will be subject to Shareholders' Meeting approval. They will include the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Senior Executives, and Managers with strategic impact roles for Avio identified by the Board of Directors.
With regard to the financial performance levels linked to the indicators outlined, it was decided to utilise the three-year target values of the Business Plan. For ESG metrics, reference is made to the performance levels decided on by the Board of Directors; performance targets for ESG indicators are defined as a three-year average value.
For each of the selected indicators, there is:
On achieving the intermediary performance levels, the bonus value is calculated for the linear interpolation. The performance levels are in line with that established by the Group's Business Plan. Therefore, the value of the bonus for the 2023 allocation is:
3 Defined as the Reported EBIT/Net Invested Capital.
4 Defined as the ratio between female employees / male employees.
5 Defined as the ratio between the remuneration of female employees / male employees in the same grade
6 Defined as the % of waste recovery.
7 Defined as the total number of hours of training performed.

The following table shows the link between targets and the bonus for the achievement of the minimum, target and maximum target for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager for each of the indicators set, each valid independently of the others, with reference to its relative weight:

Given the confidential nature of the economic-financial targets, it is not possible to provide more detail ex-ante; however, in its press releases the Company provides the market with regular qualitative indications regarding its long-term outlook (which can generally be forecast based on the Company's order portfolio). Section II of the Report sets out details of the results achieved.
In addition, the Plan provides a mechanism for granting dividends distributed during the performance period. Specifically, should the Shareholders' Meeting distribute dividends to Shareholders during the performance period, the beneficiaries will be allocated a number of additional shares determined by the amount of total dividends distributed during the three-year period. The additional shares will be determined by considering the value of the share at the time of the allocation, calculated as the average during the month of the Board of Directors' meeting called to debate the draft budget for the fiscal year preceding the year of the plan's start.
In the event of a change of control, a public tender offer or public exchange offer on Avio shares, the Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, shall have the power, subject to the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, to grant the beneficiaries the right to receive all or some of the allocated Shares in advance, also in consideration of the actual achievement of the performance targets, and to provide for the

early termination of the Plan.
For additional information regarding the plan, please refer to the related Prospectus (www.avio.com, Governance/Shareholders' Meeting 2023 section).
The Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives are also beneficiaries of the extraordinary Performance Share Plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2022. The plan provides for the one-time award of rights to receive free shares in the Company, subject to the achievement of predetermined performance targets, at the end of the three-year performance period 2022-24.
The plan was approved by the Board of Directors at the same time as the cancellation of the 2020-22 and 2021- 23 cycles of the 2020-24 Long-Term Plan, whose retention and incentive targets for management had ceased to apply in view of changed circumstances. The exceptional events of recent years have, in fact, made it impossible to achieve the original economic and financial targets to which these cycles were linked.
The 2022-2024 Performance Share Plan is, therefore, extraordinary and non-recurring in nature:
The extraordinary performance share plan is linked to the achievement of a single target, Order Intake, which reflects the sustainability and growth of the business in the medium term and corresponds to the cumulative value of new contracts acquired in the three-year period 2022-2024. In choosing the indicator, consideration was given to all the metrics linked to the variable remuneration of Avio's management.
The selected indicator involves:
Upon achievement of intermediate performance levels, the number of Shares to be granted will be calculated by linear interpolation.
The performance levels are in line with that established by the Group's Business Plan. The value of the bonus is:

Given the confidential nature of the strategic targets, it will be not possible to provide more ex-ante detail; instead, Section II of the Report sets out details of the results achieved.
In the event of a change of control, a public tender offer or public exchange offer on Avio shares, the Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, shall have the power, subject to the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, to grant the beneficiaries the right to receive all or some of the allocated Shares in advance, also in consideration of the actual achievement of the performance targets, and to provide for the early termination of the Plan.
For additional information regarding the plan, please refer to the related Prospectus (www.avio.com, Governance/Shareholders' Meeting 2022 section).
The Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Senior Executives are among the beneficiaries of the 2022-24 cycle of the 2020-24 Long-Term Plan, in monetary form. For a description, see the 2022 Policies.
Avio's incentive plans - both short- and long-term - include a clawback clause which permits the recovery of amounts issued on the basis of manifestly erroneous or false data in the 5 years subsequent to issue.
In exceptional circumstances that may jeopardise the pursuit of the Company's long-term interests or its ability to stay in the market, as provided for in Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the CFA, and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, Avio's Board of Directors, following a proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and in compliance with the Related Parties Procedure, may lay down temporary exceptions to the remuneration policy in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay in the market.
For the purposes of the above, "exceptional events" are defined as: (i) events of an extraordinary and/or nonrecurring nature and/or not attributable to the core business of the Avio Group (including, without limitation, acquisitions or disposals of equity investments or business units) considered of particular importance and/or currently not provided for in company planning that entail a significant change in the scope of the Company or the Avio Group; (ii) significant changes in the macroeconomic and/or competitive scenario or other

extraordinary factors with a significant impact beyond the actions within the management's control; and/or (iii) significant events, not only of an economic or financial nature.
In such circumstances, the Company's Board of Directors, following a proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and in compliance with the Related Parties Procedure, may make such adjustments to the targets in the incentive plans as are necessary to keep the substantive and economic contents of the plan unchanged. Any changes to performance targets must safeguard the principles and guidelines according to which the plan has been formulated by not introducing undue advantages or penalties for either the beneficiaries of the plan or the Company.
For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager alone, in the case of resolution of contract by the Company or dismissal for just cause, the payment of an all-inclusive indemnity is envisaged equal to two gross annual remunerations, that is, the sum of the gross annual fixed remuneration and the short-term variable remuneration at 100% of the fixed remuneration. This value includes any component relating to compulsory contractual provisions - the value of which to date, on the basis of Company seniority, amounts to 8 months' pay -, which will not be paid in the event of termination of employment by the Company or resignation for just cause. The all-inclusive allowance was reduced during 2019 from twenty-eight to twenty-four monthly payments.
For Senior Executives, the protections established by law and set out in the relevant national collective bargaining agreements for industry executives are usually applied, which take into account the role and age of the executive at the time of termination of employment, in addition to the annual salary received. However, the Company may set compensation in advance for the termination of employment of Senior Executives, but the compensation for early termination of employment may correspond to no more than two years' payment of the sum of the fixed remuneration and short-term variable bonus, including mandatory contractual provisions relating to notice.
There is currently an agreement in place for one of the Senior Executives governing compensation in the event of termination of employment.
Regarding the effects of early termination on long-term incentive, it is provided that:
The Company reserves the right to enter into consulting or collaboration agreements after the termination of
9 Good leaver scenarios include:
- removal from the office of Director prior to the conclusion of the term of office without cause;
- resignation from the office of Director if the beneficiary, without just cause, undergoes a revocation or non-confirmation of the proxies such that his or her relationship with the Company or the subsidiary is substantially altered;
- conclusion of the Company's Board of Directors not followed by renewal;
- with particular reference to Senior Executives and Managers, dismissal without just cause;
- death or disability of the beneficiary (due to illness or injury ascertained by a medical-legal expert report by a professional appointed by the Company) that entails the abstention from carrying out his or her duties for a period, continuous or noncontinuous, of more than eight (8) months;
- voluntary resignation, only on the condition that the beneficiary fulfills the statutory retirement requirements and in the 30 subsequent days presents a request to access the relative benefits;

the employment relationship, aimed at preserving the transfer of know-how and business continuity.
The Company in addition reserves the right to sign non-competition agreements involving specific roles requiring strategic knowledge, for whom this restriction is necessary in compliance with the statutory provisions and limitations. Currently, a non-compete agreement with the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager is applicable for a total gross amount of six months of fixed remuneration. There are no specific insurance coverage, social security and pension payments for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager following resolution of contract with the Company, except for those provided for by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Industrial Executives.
On March 13, 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to submit the 2023-2025 Restricted Share Plan for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2023.
The plan is designed for employees who play a key role in achieving the strategic targets of Avio and AVIO Group companies, and involves the grant of rights to receive free shares at the end of a 36-month period. The beneficiaries of the plan do not include the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager or the Senior Executives of the Company.
The plan is being introduced as an important retention and loyalty tool: it is not linked to the achievement of specific performance targets, but, through the use of shares, it encourages beneficiaries to get involved in improving Avio's performance in the medium term.
In addition, the Plan provides a mechanism for granting dividends distributed during the performance period. Specifically, should the Shareholders' Meeting distribute dividends to Shareholders during the performance period, the beneficiaries will be allocated a number of additional shares determined by the amount of total dividends distributed during the three-year period. The additional shares will be determined by considering the value of the share at the time of the allocation, calculated as the average during the month of the Board of Directors' meeting called to debate the draft budget for the fiscal year preceding the year of the plan's start.
For additional information regarding the plan, please refer to the related Prospectus (www.avio.com, Governance/Shareholders' Meeting 2023 section).
In the first part of Section II of this Report, the following information is provided regarding the implementation of the 2022 Policies:

highlighting its compliance with the 2022 Policies and how compensation contributes to the Company's long-term results;
The remuneration policy in 2022, as verified by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee through the periodic assessment under the Corporate Governance Code, was implemented in line with the general standards approved by the Board of Directors and shared by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
The independent audit firm (Deloitte) has verified the preparation of Section II of the Policies.
The dramatic events of 2022 did not slow down work on preparing the new Vega-C launcher, whose maiden flight took place successfully on July 13. However, the significant increase in energy and gas costs from Q4 2021 have made it much more challenging to achieve the economic and financial targets set, affecting 2022 performance.
A relevant event for the sustainability of Avio's business in the medium term was Arianespace's signing of a contract with the European Commission for five Vega-C launches, and the same number of missions for the low-orbit positioning of the Copernicus Earth observation satellites, to be carried out between 2024 and 2026. The end of 2022 saw the failure of the first flight of the Vega-C launcher.
With reference to the main corporate indicators in the annual incentive scheme, the results achieved are below the targets set in early 2022 for Adjusted EBITDA and exceed the maximum level for the Net Financial Position. A multiplier10 equal to 1.04 is applied to the bonus - as established by the Board of Directors - until the maximum value established at the time of allocation is reached. The actual values for the two indicators over the last three years and the target value for 2022 are set out below.
| 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actual | Actual | Actual | target | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA (M€) |
43.3 | 37.7 | 27.8 | 34.8 | |
| Net Financial Position (ME) |
62.6 | 57.2 | 74.4 | 35.1 |
10 For 2022, in line with the decision taken by the BoD, the multiplier is applied for the CEO/GM only. A new incentive curve was introduced for Senior Executives, under which the multiplier was removed.

For the Executive Director, the value of the 2022 bonus is substantially in line with the target (80.9% of the fixed component). With respect to Senior Executives the 2022 bonus value averages 33% of the fixed component.
In fact, Avio's Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 28, 2022, resolved to cancel the 2020-22 and 2021-23 cycles of the existing 2020-24 long-term monetary incentive plan, whose retention and incentive purposes for management have ceased to exist in consideration of the changed circumstances caused by the exceptional events of the last few years. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian crisis are the main factors that have eroded the currency of the economic-financial targets to which these cycles were linked.
Therefore, no bonus is paid for the 2020-22 cycle of the 2020-2024 three-year monetary plan.

With reference to the Chairperson and Non-Executive Directors of the Board of Directors and the Chairperson and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors in office as at the date of this report, please note that:
the Shareholders' Meeting of May 6, 2020 resolved to allocate to each Director gross annual remuneration of Euro 35,000, and gross annual remuneration of Euro 120,000 to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, in line with the amount of remuneration laid down for members of the Board of Directors in the previous three-year period and also with market practice. On July 28, 2020, the Board of Directors also resolved to award the members of the internal Board Committees the following fees:
i) to the members of the Control and Risks Committee, a gross annual fee for the Chairperson of Euro 30,000 and for the other members of Euro 15,000 each;
The tables in Part 2 of this Section provide details of the compensation paid, consistent with the 2022 Policies and the Shareholders' Meeting motions noted above.
As of the date of this Report reversibility agreements are in place for the remuneration of some Directors. Specifically, Mr. Roberto Italia, Chairperson of Avio's Board of Directors, and Space Holding S.r.l. signed a reversionary agreement whereby the remuneration accrued for the position held by him is paid to Space Holding S.r.l. As regards the above, at December 31, 2022, the Company's payable towards Space Holding S.r.l. amounted to Euro 120,000.
For the 2020-2022 mandate, the sole Executive Director (i.e. the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager) will not receive any additional remuneration for the positions taken on the Board of Directors and its internal Committees, as already receiving remuneration for the position of General Manager.
Finally, the Board of Directors of the Company identified, further to the Executive Director of the company, an additional 4 Senior Executives.
The remuneration of Giulio Ranzo (Chief Executive Officer/General Manager) for 2022 includes the following components:

With reference to the long-term variable remuneration, Avio's Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 28, 2022, resolved to cancel the 2020-22 and 2021-23 cycles of the existing 2020-24 long-term monetary incentive plan, whose retention and incentive purposes for management have ceased to exist in consideration of the changed circumstances caused by the exceptional events of the last few years. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian crisis are the main factors that have eroded the currency of the economic-financial targets to which these cycles were linked.
Therefore, no bonus is paid for the 2020-22 cycle of the 2020-2024 three-year monetary plan.
In addition, Giulio Ranzo is covered by a non-competition agreement which establishes, against a restriction lasting 12 months from resolution of contract, the payment of six months of the fixed remuneration. In the case of resolution of contract by the Company or dismissal for just cause, the payment of an all-inclusive indemnity is envisaged equal to two gross annual remunerations, that is, the sum of the gross annual fixed remuneration and the short-term variable remuneration (this latter conventionally calculated at 100% of the fixed remuneration).These values include any component concerning obligatory contractual provisions, which shall not be paid in the case of resolution of contract by the Company or dismissal for just cause.
The remuneration of the Senior Executives employed by the Company, reported in aggregate, for 2022 includes the following components:
These values refer to the total number of six Senior Executives; for changes that occurred during the year, the values are considered pro-rata.

With reference to the long-term variable remuneration, Avio's Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 28, 2022, resolved to cancel the 2020-22 and 2021-23 cycles of the existing 2020-24 long-term monetary incentive plan, whose retention and incentive purposes for management have ceased to exist in consideration of the changed circumstances caused by the exceptional events of the last few years. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian crisis are the main factors that have eroded the currency of the economic-financial targets to which these cycles were linked.
Therefore, no bonus is paid for the 2020-22 cycle of the 2020-2024 three-year monetary plan.
(iii) non-monetary benefits
In addition, one SE is covered by a non-competition agreement which establishes, against a restriction lasting 12 months from resolution of contract, the payment of six months of the fixed remuneration. In the case of resolution of contract by the Company or dismissal for just cause, the payment of an all-inclusive indemnity is envisaged equal to two gross annual remunerations, that is, the sum of the gross annual fixed remuneration and the short-term variable remuneration (this latter conventionally calculated at 50% of the fixed remuneration). These values include any component concerning obligatory contractual provisions, which shall not be paid in the case of resolution of contract by the Company or dismissal for just cause.

The pay mix of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and the Senior Executives is shown below with reference to the remuneration awarded during 2022, pursuant to the Policies described in Section I of the 2022 Report.
