Beneficiaries pertaining to the "Key Individuals" will be identified, following approval of the Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting, by the CEO with the support of the Human Resources function.
The compensation plan in financial instruments is functional to the creation of value over time, in line with the strategy of the Group.
Key pillars confirmed also for 2021 are:
In this context the Compensation Plan aims to:
The Compensation Plan based on doValue "Shares" has features differentiated based on the following beneficiary categories:
The differentiation of the Plan features characteristics based on beneficiary categories is aimed at placing greater focus on the remuneration structure of subjects with a greater and more direct impact on business in order to drive behaviour towards strategic

objectives and discourage behaviours which include excessive risk taking or short-term oriented.
The specifics based on beneficiary category are provided below:
Variable remuneration is paid based on the degree to which the assigned objectives and relevant targets are achieved. The maximum variable compensation amount is recognised upon achieving the maximum level of all the assigned objectives:
Additionally, no variable remuneration is payable to the Group CEO in the event that the following entry gates identified for the purposes of activating the CEO's incentive system is not met ("CEO Access Gates"):
The indicators will be considered net of extraordinary transactions approved by the BoD.
The variable remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, subject to the achieving of the assigned objectives and entry conditions, is paid fully in shares and as follows:
1 The payment of the 60% of the fixed remuneration, for 2/3 in cash and 1/3 in shares, is subject to the fact that no breach of contract with the Group's customers has occurred that has led to a negative economic impact of more than 5% of Group EBITDA


The 40% component is zeroed in case at least EBITDA and two additional Objectives at minimum level are not achieved. The maximum variable remuneration is gradually reduced for performances not in line with the assigned objectives. The Minimum Target Value to align to Value Creation for Shareholders is set at increasing values for the mandate 2021-2023.
The scheme is as follows:

Both up-front and deferred Shares may be sold for an amount that, on a quarterly base, may not exceed the 25% of awarded shares.

The payment of deferred amounts is also subject to the verification of the following malus conditions:
Malus conditions are assessed at 31 December of the year before each deferred instalment vests.
Once the achievement of the above conditions has been verified, the payment of deferred amounts is also subject to meeting the condition that the average market value of shares in the 12 months prior to the Vesting Date (i.e. the date in which the Board of Directors verifies the achievement of the vesting conditions) is not lower to the Target Value of a percentage higher than 5% (Minimum Vesting Value). If on the vesting date, the minimum vesting value has not been reached, vesting will be deferred by 12 months, after which, the condition will again be verified and, if again it has not been met, vesting will be deferred a further 12 months; if at this point (24 months after the original vesting date) the Minimum Vesting Value has not been reached, the corresponding deferred amount will be cancelled.
The shares subject to deferral, when the required conditions are met, are increased by an amount equal to 50% of the dividend paid on the same during the deferral period.
Shares received under the above conditions may be sold for an amount that, on a quarterly base, may not exceed the 25% of awarded shares.
After payment of the incentive, the Company reserves the right to ask the Group CEO to repay the 50% of the value of the MBO assigned (either in cash or shares) ("clawback"), if one of the following cases occurs:

The LTI Plan is based on a grant with a three-year vesting period (2021-2023): The Plan provides the beneficiaries with the right to receive, free company shares if a predetermined set of performance conditions are met at the end of the vesting period.
The final number of vested shares vs. the granted, is based on the achievement of the KPIs at the end of vesting period. The Key Performance Indicators which underpin the cycle 2021-2023 of the Plan, are the following:
| Stakeholders | Objective | KPI | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial Sustainability and Growth |
EBITDA | Group EBITDA excluding non recurring items and M&A (CAGR) |
65% |
| Investors | Relative Total Shareholders Return |
doValue TSR Vs Peer Group2 TSR and doValue TSR Vs Mid Cap index |
30% |
| ESG: social commitment on employees engagement |
Employee Engagement |
Group Employee Engagement increase during the vesting period |
5% |
For each KPI a threshold, target and over performance level will be set and the vesting of the granted shares will be defined:

2 The companies in the peer group (Intrum, Cerved, Arrow Global, Banca IFIS, B2Holding, Kruk) are listed companies comparable with doValue. Any shares involved in extraordinary transactions resulting in their delisting or in a significant reduction in the free float, will be replaced by comparable shares, if possible.

The target for the EBITDA CAGR will be set in line with the update of the Strategic Plan. Updated targets will be communicated to the financial community through the Capital Market Day to be held during the upcoming months.
| doValue TSR Vs Peer Group TSR (weight 15%) |
doValue TSR Vs Mid Cap index (weight 15%) |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Should doValue's TSR be negative over the vesting period, even though it is – at least – on the 1st or 2nd rank, the overperformance will not be recognized and the associated score will therefore be equal to Target number of shares awarded. |
Should doValue's TSR be negative over the vesting period, even though it is – at least – above the +10% Vs FTSE Mid cap TSR performance, the overperformance will not be recognized and the associated score will therefore be equal to Target number of shares awarded. |
| Performance | Vested shares | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Overperformance | Maximum number of shares awarded | ||
| Target | Target number of shares awarded | ||
| Threshold | Minimum number of shares awarded | ||
| Below threshold | No vested shares |
Additionally, no award under the Plan will be made in the event that the following entry condition is not met:
For the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities at the end of the vesting period, a one year Lock up period applies to 50% of vested shares net of assignable/assigned shares to cover the social contributions/tax.
An additional number of shares, equal to the value of the 50% of dividends paid during the vesting period, is granted to the beneficiaries ("Dividend Equivalent").

Without prejudice to the right to compensation for any additional damages, after payment of the variable compensation, the Company reserves the right, within 5 years from the granting date of the variable remuneration and regardless of whether the employment is ongoing or terminated, to ask the Beneficiary to repay the award ("clawback"), if one of the following cases occurs:
The Clawback cause will be applied as legally enforceable based on country by country provisions.
The actual amount of the allocated incentive is correlated to the level of achievement of the individual objectives already described within the paragraph 2.1. as follows:
Objectives set for 2021:
In addition to the following conditions to be met for 2021:
The condition will be considered net of extraordinary transactions approved by the BoD.

Objectives set for the cycle 2021-2023:
In addition to the following condition to be met for 2023:
Group EBITDA at least equal to the 80% of Group EBITDA defined in the annual plan (strategic and operational).
As already specified, the share based variable compensation is activated when the access conditions defined in point 2.1 are achieved.
The maximum award for the Share based compensations, compared to the fixed remuneration, is:
The amount of the award, based on the vesting conditions, is determined by the Board of Directors, based on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, in compliance with the limits and based on the criteria defined in points 2.2 and 2.3.
The number of shares is defined as follows:
Chief Executive Officer:
For the shares related to fixed remuneration, the number of shares is based on the average price of the 30 days before the shareholders meeting that approves the financial statements of the relevant year.
3 The payment of the 60% of the fixed remuneration, for 2/3 in cash and 1/3 in shares, is subject to the fact that no breach of contract with the Group's customers has occurred that has led to a negative economic impact of more than 5% of Group EBITDA

The Plan does not envisage assignment of financial instruments not issued by the Issuer doValue S.p.A.
Even if doValue S.p.A. performed assessments on the fiscal and accounting impact of the 2021 shared based plan, these implications were not considered significant enough to affect definition of the system itself.
Support of the plan is not envisaged by the special fund for encouraging worker participation in the companies as per article 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003.
