SAIPEM S.p.A. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING MAY 17, 2022

Report by the Board of Directors on item 4 of the Meeting Agenda.

4. NEW 2022 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN.

"Messrs Shareholders,

in line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code which Saipem adheres to, the Board of Directors of Saipem S.p.A. on March 24, 2022, subject to the favorable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, resolved to submit for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting the adoption of a Short-Term Incentive Plan for the year 2022 (the "Plan"), drawn up at the proposal of the Compensation and Nomination Committee, composed entirely of non-executive and mainly independent Directors. The Short-Term Variable Incentive Plan is an incentive tool designed to remunerate the performance and contribution of each individual to the achievement of 2022 corporate targets.

The Plan, which cancels and supersedes the third and final allocation of the previous 2021-2023 Short-Term Incentive Plan, envisages the accrual of monetary incentives in the year 2023 to resources who achieve the annual performance objectives assigned for the year 2022 and fall within the defined coverage. The Plan applies to

the management of Saipem and its subsidiaries and should be considered "of major significance" pursuant to art. 84-bis, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulations, as it is intended also for individuals referred to in art. 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58/98, and in particular to:

  • i. the Chief Executive Officer-General Manager of Saipem,
  • ii. the General Manager and the other Senior Managers with Strategic Responsibilities of Saipem.

The beneficiaries of the Plan are the Chief Executive Officer-General Manager of Saipem, the General Manager and the other Senior Managers who achieve annual individual performance results with a score of at least 80 points and who fall within the defined coverage. Participation in the Plan becomes effective only upon the beneficiary's prior acceptance, both at the time of the assignment and of the final balance, of the performance assessment sheet.

The effective maturation of the total incentive is subject to performance indicators, having the character of suspensory conditions, which are:

  • an Entry Gate, which is a prerequisite to the activation of the Plan. The indicators underlying the Entry Gate, the achievement of which will be assessed by the Board of Directors when the performance targets for the financial year 2022 are finalized, are:
    • the Adjusted Net Financial Position (NFP) economic-financial indicator measured on December 31, 2022; and

• the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate safety indicator measured on December 31, 2022;

  • Corporate objectives approved by the Board of Directors on April 11, 2022;
  • Individual objectives defined with respect to the scope of responsibility for the role covered and in line with the company objectives.

For the beneficiaries, 60% of the accrued incentive shall be paid upfront and the remaining 40% will be deferred for a two-year period. The amount of the deferred portion actually paid will be determined based upon the:

  • Variation of the average trading price of Saipem stock (VWAP – volume weighted average price) in the period May 1-31, 2023 compared to the average trading price of Saipem stock (VWAP) in the period May 1-31, 2025.

This condition, verified by the Board of Directors, allows for a variation of the amount actually paid as follows:

  • If the average price reduction is greater than the -50%, the incentive will be equal to 0;
  • If the variation of the average price will be between -50% and +100%, the variation of the deferred incentive will be linear between -50% and +100%;
  • If the variation of the average price will be greater than +100%, the incentive actually paid, in any case, at maximum will be equal to +100% of the deferred incentive.

The payment of the deferred incentive implies that the beneficiary is still employed by the company, otherwise the incentive will paid proportionally with reference to the period elapsed between the date of allocation and the termination of the employment relationship, according to the terms and conditions of the Plan and regulation.

The incentive levels are defined, in relation to the role, fixed remuneration or the total remuneration in the case of the Chief Executive Officer-General Manager, in line with the following principles of Saipem's remuneration policy:

  • the remuneration structure for management should be a balanced mixed of: i) a fixed component commensurate with powers and/or assigned responsibilities and ii) a variable component within maximum limits designed to link remuneration to actual performance;

  • consistency of the overall remuneration with the applicable market benchmarks for similar positions or for roles of a similar level of responsibility and complexity, within a panels of companies comparable with Saipem;

  • variable remuneration for executives roles having greater influence on company results, characterized by a significance variable component linked to the achievement of economic, financial, business development, operational and individual objectives, defined with a view to the sustainability of results in the medium-long term and which provides for the deferment of a portion over two-year period in accordance with the medium-long term nature of Saipem's business.

The specific conditions and purposes of the Plan are illustrated in the Information Document, drawn up in accordance with Article 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58/98 and Article 84-bis, paragraph 2, of Issuers' Regulation, made available to the public together with this Report (www.saipem.com - Section "Shareholders' Meeting")".

PROPOSED RESOLUTION

"Messrs Shareholders,

You are called to approve pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58/98, the 2022 Short-Term Incentive Plan, under the terms and conditions described in the Information Document made available together with the Directors' Report, granting the Board of Directors, and on its behalf the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer-General Manager, severally – except for the Chief Executive Officer-General Manager the powers relating and/or pertaining to the award and implementation of the Plan for the Chief Executive Officer-General Manager - all powers necessary for the implementation of the Plan, including the powers to: (i) allocate the monetary incentive to the Chief Executive Officer -General Manager and to the General Manager; (ii) approve the Plan's Regulation; (iii) define the criteria for identifying the beneficiaries; (iv) any other terms and conditions applicable to the implementation insofar as they do not conflict with the requirements established by this resolution; (v) define any changes to the Plan, through the Regulation, resulting from local legislation applicable to the employment relationship of some beneficiaries, based on the countries where the Plan will be implemented."
