2.1. Objectives to be achieved by the allocation of the plans

The Plan aims to:

  • (i) align management interests with those of the shareholders and to contribute to the creation of sustainable value in the medium/long term, including through the use of plans based on financial instruments, promoting stable equity investment of management in the Company's capital;
  • (ii) promote the retention and motivation within the Group of resources with high professional qualities, necessary for the pursuit of the corporate strategy;
  • (iii) link the overall remuneration and, in particular, the incentive system for the Group's managers and key figures to the Company's effective performance and the creation of new value for the Group.

The Beneficiaries and the amount of the Shares to be allocated to each of them shall be determined at the Board of Directors' discretion at the time of approval of the Regulations, having regard to the strategic importance of the respective position held and the levels of fixed and variable salary received annually, ensuring an overall competitive level of remuneration.

The Plan will cover a time horizon of two years, corresponding to the years 2021-2022, a period considered consistent with the objective of measuring the sustainable value growth of the Group in the medium term.

The relevant information shall be provided during the Plan's implementation following the procedures set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations, or in any case in compliance

with the laws and regulations applicable from time to time.

2.2. Key variables, also in the form of performance indicators included in the allocation of share-based plans

The Plan provides for the allocation to the Beneficiaries of a specific number of Shares, defined taking into account the fixed salary levels and on condition that the Performance Targets determined by the Board of Directors at the time of approval of the Regulations have been achieved. The decision to recognise the Shares conditionally on the achievement of Performance Targets and the creation of new sustainable value aims to ensure that the Plan can function more effectively as an incentive.

The Plan provides that the right to receive Shares is subject to the achievement of performance conditions consisting of typical financial management objectives, also taking into account environmental, social and governance aspects .

The Shares serving the Plan will be directly or indirectly held by the Company, purchased or purchased pursuant to Article 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code. The maximum number of Shares under the Plan is 422,577.

More detailed information will be provided during the implementation of the Plan according to the procedures set forth in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations, or in any case pursuant to the laws and regulations applicable from time to time.

2.3. Factors underlying the determination of the amount of the share-based compensation, or the criteria for its determination

The amount of the Allocated Shares will correspond to a maximum number, defined according to the Beneficiaries' band, determined by their position in the range of the GAS (Gross Annual Salary).

The relevant information shall be provided during the Plan's implementation following the procedures set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations, or in any case in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable from time to time.

2.4 Reasons for any decision to allocate compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of the financial instruments, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries or, parent companies or companies outside the group; where such instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to determine the value attributable to them

Not applicable, as the equity part of the Plan is based exclusively on financial instruments issued by the Company.

2.5 Assessment of significant tax and accounting implications that affected the definition of the plans

The preparation of the Plan was not influenced by significant tax or accounting considerations.

2.6 Possible support for the plan from the Special Fund for the encouragement of worker participation in enterprises, referred to in Article 4(112) of Law 350 of 24 December 2003

Not applicable as the Plan did not receive any support from the Special Fund to encourage worker

  • (iv) legislative or regulatory changes or the Corporate Governance Code;

The Beneficiaries will be required to comply with the provisions on the abuse of inside information provided under the applicable pro tempore regulations and regulations, in particular concerning the disposal of the Shares that may be allocated after the fulfilment of the Performance Targets.

4. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ALLOCATED INSTRUMENTS

4.1. Description of the forms in which share-based compensation plans are structured

The purpose of the Plan is to allocate to the Beneficiaries, free of charge - at the end of the Vesting Period and on the fulfilment of the conditions described in Section 4.5 - Shares already in circulation and in the Company's portfolio (or subsequently acquired).

The beneficiaries' right to participate in the Plan shall be granted free of charge and on a personal basis. This right may not be transferred by deed between living persons or be subject to restrictions or be the subject of other acts of disposal for any reason whatsoever.

The Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, to the extent relevant, and - in the cases governed by Article 2389, third paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code - after hearing the Board of Statutory Auditors, shall identify the Beneficiaries and decide the

number of Shares to be allocated to each Beneficiary. The number of Vested Shares that each of the Beneficiaries will be entitled to receive will be determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the Vesting Period, at the outcome and based on the fulfilment of the level of achievement of the Performance Targets.

The Shares to be allocated have regular dividend entitlement and, therefore, the rights connected to them shall accrue to each Beneficiary as of when the same becomes owner of the Shares, without prejudice to the provisions of Paragraph 4.5 below regarding the Lock Up.

4.2 Indication of the period of actual implementation of the plan also regarding any different cycles envisaged

The Plan has a time horizon of two years.

The relevant information on any allocation cycles shall be provided during the Plan's implementation in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations, or in any case in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable from time to time.

4.3. Termination of the plan

The Plan will end upon approval of the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2022.

4.4. Maximum number of financial instruments, including in the form of options, allocated in each fiscal year concerning the persons identified by name or to the categories indicated

The maximum number of Shares under the Plan for the two years is 422,577.

4.5. Methods and clauses for implementing the plan, specifying whether the actual allocation of the instruments is subject to the occurrence of conditions or the achieving of certain results, including performance results; description of these conditions and results

The right to receive the Allocated Shares is subject to the achievement of economic and financial Performance Targets to be established in detail by the Board of Directors, subject to the Appointments and Remuneration Committee's opinion, when approving the Regulations.

Each Beneficiary's Allocation Form shall contain details of the Allocated Shares, Performance Targets and related values. If the number of Vested Shares resulting from the application of the foregoing provisions is a decimal, it shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

The Regulations shall provide - without prejudice to any other right or remedy however provided for to the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries by applicable legal or contractual - Claw Back clauses to the benefit of the Company, in the terms better detailed in the Regulations.

Fifty per cent of the Vested Shares under the Plan may not be transferred or subject to any lien or other acts of disposal inter vivos for any reason whatsoever for a period of 60 months (Lock Up) from the date of receipt of such Vested Shares.

These Shares, delivered to the Beneficiaries through the authorised financial intermediary, will have regular dividend entitlement, but must remain on deposit with the authorised financial intermediary identified by the Company throughout the duration of the Lock Up.

Should the Beneficiaries terminate their relationship with their company during the Lock Up, the aforementioned Vested Shares, while remaining in the hands of the Beneficiary, shall be unavailable for 60 months.

4.6. Indication of any restrictions on the availability of the instruments granted or on the instruments resulting from the exercise of options, with particular reference to the terms within which the subsequent transfer to the same company or to third parties is permitted or prohibited

The beneficiaries' right to participate in the Plan shall be granted to them free of charge and on a personal basis and may not be transferred by deed between living persons or be subject to restrictions or other acts of disposal for any reason whatsoever.

4.7. Description of any termination conditions concerning the assignment of the plans if the beneficiaries carry out hedging operations that make it possible to neutralise any prohibitions on the sale of the financial instruments allocated, also in the form of options, or of the financial instruments resulting from the exercise of such options

Not applicable, as there are no termination conditions if the Beneficiaries carry out hedging transactions.

4.8. Description of the effects of termination of employment

Since the right to receive the Allocated Shares is functionally linked to the continuation of the relationship between the Beneficiaries and the Company or Group, in the event of termination of this relationship, the following provisions shall apply, unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise in a more favourable manner for the Beneficiaries.

In the event of termination of the Relationship before the expiry of the Vesting Period, due to the occurrence of a Bad Leaver event, the Beneficiary will permanently lose the right to receive the Allocated Shares.

In the event of termination of the Relationship before the end of the Vesting Period, due to the occurrence of a Good Leaver event, the Beneficiary (or their heirs) may possibly retain the right to a pro rata fraction of the Vested Shares, calculated based on the ratio between (i) the period between the offer date and the date of termination of the Relationship, and (ii) the Vesting Period, under the terms to be better defined in the Regulations.

It is understood that the right of the Beneficiaries to receive the Vested Shares shall be suspended from the sending of a letter of disciplinary action (pursuant to and for Article 7 of Law 300/70), and until the receipt by the Beneficiary concerned of the notice of the imposition of the relevant penalty or the notice by the Company or the subsidiary that it does not intend to impose any penalty. It is also understood that in the event of transfer of the relationship to another company of the Group and/or the termination of the relationship and simultaneous establishment of a new relationship within the Group, the Beneficiary shall retain, mutatis mutandis, all the rights granted to them under the Regulations.

Should the Beneficiaries terminate their relationship with the company during the Lock Up, the aforementioned Shares, while remaining in the beneficiary's hands, shall be unavailable for 60 months.

4.9. Indication of other possible causes of cancellation of the plans

Except as indicated in this Information Document, there are no other causes for cancellation of the Plan.

4.10. Reasons for any provision for a 'redemption' by the company of the financial instruments covered by the plans, pursuant to Articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption, indicating whether it is intended only for particular categories of employees; the effects of the termination of the employment relationship on this redemption

The Plan does not provide for any redemption clauses on the part of the Company. The Plan provides for a Claw Back in favour of the Company, as indicated in Paragraph 4.5 above, to which reference should be made.

4.11. Any loans or other facilities to be granted for the purchase of shares pursuant to Article 2358 of the Italian Civil Code

Not applicable, as the Plan provides for the Shares to be allocated free of charge if the conditions set out in the Regulations are fulfilled.

4.12. Indication of valuations of the expected burden for the company at the date of the relevant allocation, as can be determined according to terms and conditions already defined, by total amount and in relation to each instrument of the plan

The expected burden on the Company for the Plan's implementation derives from the assessment of its economic impact, which will have to take into account the amount of the number of Vested Shares and the quotation of the Shares on the market.

As of the date of this Information Document, since, inter alia, the Beneficiaries of the Plan and the related allocations have not been identified, we cannot determine the aforesaid charge, which will therefore be communicated upon approval of the Regulations.

4.13. Indication of any dilutive effects on capital caused by the compensation plans

Not applicable given that the Plan, since it concerns the Company's treasury shares, does not entail any dilutive effects.

4.14. Any limits on the exercise of voting rights and the allocation of property rights

The Shares have regular dividend entitlement and, therefore, the rights attached to them accrue to each Beneficiary from the time when they become the owner of the same, except as indicated in Paragraph 4.5 above with reference to the Lock Up.

There are no limits on the exercise of voting rights or on the allocation of property rights.

4.15. If the shares are not traded on regulated markets, any information useful for a full assessment of the value attributable to them

Not applicable, as the Shares are traded on regulated markets.

4.16 Number of financial instruments underlying each Option

Not applicable.

4.17 Expiry of Options

Not applicable.

4.18. Methods (American/European), timing (e.g. valid exercise periods) and exercise clauses (e.g. knock-in and knock-out clauses)

Not applicable.

4.19. Strike price of the option or the methods and criteria for its determination, with particular regard to: (a) the formula for calculating the strike price in relation to a given market price (fair market value), and (b) the method by which the market price used as a reference for the determination of the strike price is determined (e.g: last price on the day before the allocation, average of the day, average of the last 30 days, etc.)

Not applicable.

4.20. If the strike price is not equal to the market price determined in compliance with 4.19 b) (fair market value), reasons for the difference

Not applicable.

4.21. Criteria according to which different operating prices are provided for different parties or different categories of recipients

Not applicable.

4.22. Where the financial instruments underlying the Options are not traded on regulated markets, indication of the value attributable to the underlying instruments or the criteria for determining that value

Not applicable.

4.23. Criteria for adjustments made necessary following extraordinary capital transactions and other transactions involving a change in the number of underlying instruments (capital increases, extraordinary dividends, regrouping and splitting of underlying shares, mergers and demergers, conversions into other classes of shares, etc.)

Please refer to Section 3.3 above.

4.24 Share issuers shall enclose the attached table No. 1 to the information document.

The table referred to in Section 4.24 of Schedule 7 shall be compiled and disclosed during the implementation of the Plan as set out in Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulations, or in any case in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable from time to time.
