| ture of the remuneration system for identified staff |
The principles established by the Remuneration Policy are the pillars used to define the remuneration systems. Fineco's approach to remuneration, consistent with the legislation and best market practices, ensures the link to performance, external context and market practices, business strategies and long-term interests of shareholders. |
|||||||
| Notably, the Remuneration Policy aims to define incentive systems consistent with corporate values and objectives (including those of sustainable finance that take into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors), with company results and with an effective risk management in line with the reference framework for determining the risk appetite and with capital and liquidity levels. |
||||||||
| Appropriate remuneration and incentive mechanisms strive to support the creation of a working environment that is inclusive of any form of diversity and capable of encouraging the expression of individual potential, attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified resources. |
||||||||
| In line with our remuneration governance model characterized by clarity, reliability and transparency in the deci sion-making processes, the Remuneration Policy is drawn up by the Human Resources function, with the involvement of the other company functions based on the area of expertise and validated by the Compliance and Risk Management function before being submitted to the Remuneration Committee. |
||||||||
| The Remuneration Policy, upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee, is submitted annually to the Board of Direc tors and subsequently to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, in line with regulatory requirements. |
||||||||
| Information on the criteria used for performance measurement and ex ante and ex post risk adjustment. | ||||||||
| The link between profitability, risk and remuneration is guaranteed by directly linking the bonus pool with company results and relevant risk profiles as defined in the reference framework for determining the risk appetite. |
||||||||
| Notably, specific entry conditions are defined, which act as an ex-ante risk adjustment mechanisms and assess the Group's performance in terms of profitability, capital and liquidity. |
||||||||
| Only if all entry conditions are met, the bonus pool is confirmed with the possibility of applying further adjustments based on the overall assessment of the risk factors included in the risk-weighting mechanism "CRO dashboard". The CRO dashboard includes specific risk indicators taken from the Risk Appetite Framework1 |
||||||||
| Once the bonus pool is defined, individual bonuses are determined within the annual performance appraisal process, based on the principles of transparency and clarity to ensure a direct link between variable remuneration and perfor mance. |
||||||||
| The variable remuneration awarded or paid is subject to ex-post risk adjustment mechanisms (malus and claw back respectively) that take into account individual behavior. |
||||||||
| Notably, these measures make it possible to reduce, cancel or request the return of any form of variable remuneration. For more details, please refer to the Focus on "Compliance breach, individual malus and claw back" in Section I para graph 3.2 of the Remuneration Policy. |
||||||||
| Whether the management body or the remuneration committee where established reviewed the institution's remuneration policy during the past year, and if so, an overview of any changes that were made, the reasons for those changes and their impact on remuneration. |
||||||||
| In 2021, the Remuneration Committee reviewed the 2020 Remuneration Policy making appropriate changes in order to comply with the most recent updates of the regulatory framework and in line with market practices. |
||||||||
| The following are the main changes introduced compared to 2020: | ||||||||
| - With reference to the variable remuneration payment structures, the deferral period is extended from 4 to 5 years for the roles identified by the regulations with no significant variable remuneration. For the other Identified Staff with a no significant variable remuneration, the deferral period is extended from 3 to 4 years. |
||||||||
| - A share-based Long-term Incentive Plan was approved for selected Employees, considered "key resources". The plan sets objectives for the three-year performance period 2021-2023 in terms of value creation, industrial sustain ability, risk and stakeholder value (ESG), in line with the long-term objectives of the 2020-2023 Multi Year Plan. The Plan provides for entry and malus conditions, claw-back conditions and a specific risk-adjustment mechanism. |
||||||||
| - In the Remuneration Report, a specific paragraph has been included on comparison data pertaining to the annual change in remuneration and company's results, as requested by the update of the Consob Issuers' Regulation (11 December 2020). |
||||||||
1 This process also applies to the definition of the bonus pool for Financial Advisors.

|---|---|
| Information of how the institution ensures that staff in internal control functions are remunerated independently of the businesses they oversee. |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In order to guarantee the independence of the corporate control functions (Internal Audit, Compliance, Risk Manage ment, Anti-Money Laundering) from the results of the areas they monitor and to minimize potential conflicts of interest, no economic objectives or objectives linked to the economic results of the monitored areas are assigned. The individu al objectives for the employees of these functions primarily reflect the performance of their own function. |
||||||
| Additionally, the variable remuneration of Identified Staff of the Company Control Functions cannot exceed 1/3 of the fixed remuneration in line with the applicable regulatory framework and the incentive systems reflect the nature of their responsibilities and consistent with market practices. |
||||||
| In order to adequately remunerate qualified and expert personnel in these functions, the Identified staff belonging to the corporate control functions benefit from a specific "Role based allowance", classified as fixed remuneration. |
||||||
| Economic goals are also avoided for the Head of Human Resources and the Manager in charge of financial statements, whose remuneration is predominantly fixed. |
||||||
| For the Identified Staff belonging to the Control Functions, Human Resources and Manager in Charge, any implications on the annual bonus of the application of the Zero Factor clause, which is activated in the event of failure to achieve at least one of the access conditions, are assessed in a manner specifically by the Board of Directors, considering their independence from the economic results of the areas under their control. |
||||||
| For the Identified Staff belonging to the Control Functions, Human Resources and Manager in Charge of the Financial Statements, the implications on the annual bonus of the application of the Zero Factor will be specifically assessed by the Board of Directors, considering their independence with respect to the economic results of the areas subject to their control. |
||||||
| From a governance point of view, the Remuneration Committee directly supervises the remuneration of all Identified Staff belonging to the corporate control functions, regardless of their global band title, making proposals to the Board of Directors on the amounts of remuneration to be awarded. |
||||||
| Policies and criteria applied for the award of guaranteed variable remuneration and severance payments. | ||||||
| Non-standard remuneration is subject to an-hoc decision-making process through the involvement of the relevant functions and, where required, by the corporate bodies, and is limited only to exceptional situations related to new hires, the launch of special projects, the achievement of extraordinary results, high retention risk for critical/strategic employees/roles. |
||||||
| Welcome bonuses, special awards, retention bonuses are considered variable remuneration and as such, is subject to the applicable rules (e.g. maximum ratio between variable and fix remuneration, deferral scheme) as well as to malus conditions and claw-back actions, as legally enforceable. |
||||||
| Role-Based Allowances are considered fixed remuneration. | ||||||
| Non-standard remuneration must in any case comply with regulations in force and the governance processes of Fine coBank S.p.A. and FinecoBank Group, is periodically monitored and subject to disclosure. |
||||||
| With reference to severance pay, the Shareholders' Meeting of 10 April 2019 approved the Termination Payments Policy (so-called "Severance"), incorporating the regulatory provisions of the Circular no. 285/ 2013 of the Bank of Italy, and in particular the provisions regarding the amounts agreed in view of or on the occasion of the early termination of the employment relationship. |
||||||
| For more details, refer to Section I paragraph 3.3 of the 2021 Remuneration Policy. | ||||||
| c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are tak en into account in the remuneration process es. |
As described in point b), the link between risk and remuneration is guaranteed by directly linking the bonus pool with the relevant risk profiles as defined in the reference framework for determining the risk appetite. Notably, only if all entry conditions are met, the bonus pool is confirmed with the possibility of applying further adjust ments (as a multiplier) based on the overall assessment of the risk factors included in the "CRO dashboard". The CRO dashboard is risk-adjustment mechanism that includes specific risk indicators taken from the Risk Appetite Framework, such as, by way of example, capital, liquidity, credit, operational risk etc. The Risk Management function performs the CRO Dashboard evaluation resulting in a multiplier of the bonus pool according to a negative (50% and 75%), neutral (100%) or positive (110% and 120%) ranges. The opportunity to award an extra performance in the bonus pool can only be granted in case of positive EVA at the end of the financial year2. For more details, refer to Section I paragraph 5.2 and 5.3 of the 2021 Remuneration Policy. |

| d) The ratios between | In compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of FinecoBank established | |||||

a maximum ratio between the variable and fixed component of the remuneration equal to 2:1 for employees belonging to the business functions. |
|||||
| ance with point (g) of Article 94(1) CRD. |
For the rest of the employees, a maximum ratio equal to 1:1 is usually adopted. The variable remuneration of Identified Staff in company control functions cannot exceed 1/3 of the fixed remuneration. The remuneration is predominantly fixed for the Head of Human Resources and the Manager in charge of financial statements. For the aforementioned Functions, the incentive mechanisms are consistent with the assigned tasks as well as independent from the results of the areas under their control. With reference to applicable regulations, for Financial Advisors belonging to Identified Staff, a 2:1 ratio is applied be |
|||||
| tween the non-recurring and the recurring component of the remuneration. The adoption of a ratio of 2:1 between vari able and fixed compensation does not have any implication on the Bank's capacity to continue to respect all prudential rules, in particular capital requirements. |

The link between profitability and remuneration is guaranteed by directly linking the bonus pool with company results. Notably, specific entry conditions are defined, which assess the Group's performance in terms of profitability, capital and liquidity. |
| ment period with levels of remuneration. |
Entry conditions take into consideration, in fact, the following corporate performance indicators: Net Operating Profit adjusted, Net Profit, CET1 Ratio, Liquidity Coverage Ratio, Net Stable Funding Ratio (for the definitions, refer to Section I, paragraph 5.2 of the 2021 Remuneration Policy). |
| The achievement of all entry conditions allows to confirm the bonus pool defined in the budget phase by applying the "funding rate", a percentage of the Net Operating Profit (net of Provisions for Risk and Charges, corresponding to Profit Before Tax), and taking into consideration historical data analysis, expected profitability, business strategy and previous |
|
| year pool. Further adjustments to the bonus pool can be applied on the basis of the overall assessment of the risk factors included in the so-called "CRO dashboard (as described in point c). For the subsidiary Fineco Asset Management DAC, additional entry conditions are envisaged at local level, which reflect the specific nature of the business, as well as other performance and risk adjustment parameters. |
|
| With regard to employees, individual bonuses are defined within the annual performance appraisal process, based on the principles of transparency and clarity to ensure a direct link between variable remuneration and performance, taking into consideration the internal benchmarking analysis based on the role and in compliance with the maximum ratio between variable and fixed remuneration approved by the Shareholder's Meeting. |
|
| The annual performance appraisal process requires a goal-setting phase at the beginning of the year for all Identified Staff. The individual goals are assigned through the Scorecard, which adequately balances economic-financial and non-economic factors, and requires a minimum of 5 and maximum 8 goals that reflect the Bank and FinecoBank Group's strategy. The Scorecard includes 4-6 quantitative/strategic goals, equally weighted, with an overall incidence of 70% on the Scorecard, and up to 2 qualitative/sustainable goals (if the case, equally weighted) with a 30% incidence on the |
|
| Scorecard. For Company Control Functions, Human Resources department and the Manager in charge of financial statements, no goals linked to economic results area assigned, in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest and be independent from the results of the respective areas. |
|
| The appraisal system is based on a 5-rating scale with a descriptive outcome (from "Below Expectations" to "Greatly Exceeds Expectations"), which drives the definition of the individual bonus amount. Additionally, individual behaviors (compliance with internal and external rules and regulations, absence of disciplinary actions and completion of mandatory training) are also considered in order to award bonuses. With regard to Financial Advisor Identified Staff, the performance assessment is based on specific parameters (by way of example, net sales, development activities, percentage of achievement of the group net sales target, etc.). |
|
| Additionally, individual compliance with internal and external rules and regulations and with the values of integrity of FinecoBank and the absence of disciplinary actions are verified. |
|
| An overview of how amounts of individual variable remuneration are linked to institution-wide and individual performance. |
|
| Variable remuneration is linked to company performance, as described in the previous point related to the bonus pool, the amount of which is directly proportional to the results achieved by the Bank. Individual bonus amounts are defined within the the annual performance appraisal process, based on the principles of transparency and clarity to ensure a direct link between variable remuneration and performance. |
|
| Information on the criteria used to determine the balance between different types of instruments awarded includ ing shares, equivalent ownership interest, options and other instruments. |
|
| Bonus is delivered through immediate (upfront) and deferred installments - in cash or in FinecoBank ordinary shares - over a maximum 6-year period. No other financial instruments are currently envisaged. In line with Circular no. 285/2013 of the Bank of Italy, at least 50% of the overall variable remuneration of Identified Staff is paid in FinecoBank ordinary shares. |
|
| 56% of the bonus of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and for other roles provided for by the law (such as Deputy General Managers, Managers of the main business areas, direct reports to the body with management func tions or strategic supervision etc.) with significant variable remuneration is paid in shares. The share quota is equal to 55% for the roles provided by law with no significant variable remuneration. Finally, for the other identified staff with no significant amount of total variable remuneration, the share component of the variable remuneration is equal to 50%. With reference to Financial Advisors, a balanced structure of payments in cash (50%) and shares (50%) was defined in 2021. |
|
| Information of the measures the institution will implement to adjust variable remuneration in the event that performance metrics are weak, including the institution's criteria for determining "weak" performance metrics. |
|
| Specific entry conditions link the bonus pool to company performance, based on profitability, capital and liquidity indi cators. |
|
| The bonus pool is confirmed only if all entry conditions are met. If even one entry condition is not met, the Zero Factor clause is applied to the Identified Staff* thus zeroing out the bonus pool for the reference year while previous systems deferrals could be reduced from 50% to 100% of their value, based on final actual results. |
|
| For the rest of the population a significant reduction will be applied. It is understood that the BoD can allocate part of the pool for retention purposes or to ensure the competitiveness on the market. For the Identified Staff belonging to the Control Functions, Human Resources and Manager in Charge of the Financial Statements, the implications on the annual bonus of the application of the Zero Factor will be specifically assessed by the Board of Directors, considering their independence with respect to the economic results of the areas subject to their control. |

|||||
| The 2021 payment schemes are based on two time horizons (5 and 6 total years) differentiated on the basis of the target population and of the total amount of variable remuneration awarded for the performance year. For the CEO and GM and other roles provided by law with a significant amount of total variable remuneration in the performance year (>430,000 €) a 5-year deferral scheme applies with an overall payout structure of 6 years, with 60% |
||||||

In order to align the long-term interests of the Bank's Management with the long-term value creation for shareholders, |
||||||
| a share based long-term incentive plan was launched. The Plan sets performance goals for the three-year performance period 2021-2023 in terms of value creation, industrial sustainability, risk and stakeholder value (ESG), in line with the 2020-2023 Multi Year Plan. |
||||||
| The Plan performance goals such as ROAC, Net Sales of AUM, Cost Income Ratio, Cost of Risk on commercial loans, as well as ESG parameters, within the stakeholder value goal, namely customer satisfaction, people engagement and ESG rating for all new funds. The Plan provides for entry and malus conditions, claw-back conditions and a specific risk-adjustment mechanism. |

||||||
| The malus clause, (i.e. the reduction/cancelation of the variable remuneration) can be activated within the referred period to the variable remuneration to be awarded or awarded but not already paid. The claw-back clause, (i.e. the return of all or part of the variable remuneration) can be activated with reference to the overall variable remuneration already paid, awarded for the performance period which the "violation" is referred to, without prejudice to more restrictive local laws or provisions and as legally enforceable, for a period up to 5 years after each instalment (upfront or deferred) has become available to the beneficiary (that means after deferrals and/or applicable holding period), even after the termination of the employment relationship. |
||||||
| Malus and claw-back can be activated in case the individual: - has adopted conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory or statutory provisions or with codes of ethics or conduct applicable to the bank, which resulted in a significant loss for the bank or for customers; - has displayed further conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory or statutory provisions or with codes of ethics or conduct applicable to the bank, in the cases envisaged by the latter; |

FinecoBank Board of Directors and Shareholders Meeting approved the following share ownership guidelines: |
||||||
| - 1 x annual fixed remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager - 0.5 x annual fixed remuneration for the other Executives with strategic responsibilities As a rule, the established such levels should be reached within 5 years from the first appointment in the role and they should be maintained for the entire duration of the office. |
||||||
| The established levels should be reached through a linear pro-rata approach during the 5-year period, providing for a minimum portion every year, also considering the vesting equity granted under incentive plans. |
