COMPENSATION REPORT

COMPENSATION REPORT COFIDE S.p.A.

FOREWORD

This report ("Compensation Report") has been prepared in conformity with the terms of Art. 84-quater of Consob Regulation no. 11971/99 in implementation of Art. 123-ter of the T.U.F. and taking into account the recommendations contained in Art. 6 of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the "Code of Conduct"), and is organized in two sections. The first section has the aim of providing the Shareholders' Meeting with information regarding the policy of the Company on the subject of the compensation of the Members of the Board of Directors and the procedures for adopting and implementing this policy. The second section aims to give an adequate representation of each of the items that make up the compensation and to illustrate to the market the compensation paid out or at least assigned in the previous year to the Members of the Board of Directors and the Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors. Positions of Executives with strategic responsibilities are not dealt with as the Company does not have any, since the officer responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of COFIDE S.p.A., as per the terms of Art. 154-bis of the T.U.F., is not paid by the Company as he is paid as an executive of CIR S.p.A.

The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, convened to approve the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31 2017, as per the terms of Art. 123-ter of the T.U.F., is called upon to express a non-binding vote on the first section of the Compensation Report. The result of the vote will be disclosed to the public, in accordance with the terms of Art. 125-quater 2nd paragraph of the T.U.F..

SECTION I

This section describes the policy of the Company on the subject of compensation of the Members of the Board of Directors with reference to the year 2018 together with the procedures used for the adoption and implementation of the policy. The policy establishes the principles and guidelines on the basis of which compensation is determined.

It should be noted that for COFIDE S.p.A. the compensation policy is extremely simplified, since it includes only the payment of fees – approved by the Shareholders' Meeting – to the members of the Board of Directors.

It should also be noted that the officer responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of COFIDE S.p.A., as per the terms of Art. 154-bis of the T.U.F., is not paid by the Company as he is paid as an executive of CIR S.p.A.

a) Bodies and individuals involved in the preparation and approval of the compensation policy, specifying their respective roles, and the bodies or individuals responsible for the correct implementation of the same policy

The Policy is prepared by the Appointments and Compensation Committee and is submitted annually by the said Committee to the examination and approval of the Board of Directors. After examining and approving the policy, the Board of Directors illustrates it in this section of the report so that it can be submitted to the consultative vote of the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Policy is structured as follows:

• i) The Shareholders' Meeting establishes the fixed fee for the members of the Board of Directors when they are appointed for the entire duration of their mandate.
• ii) The Shareholders' Meeting expresses a vote, which is non-binding, on the Policy approved each year by the Board of Directors.
• iii) At the proposal of the Appointments and Compensation Committee and having heard the opinion of the Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors establishes the compensation of Directors with special positions.
• iv) The Board of Directors establishes the compensation of non-executive Directors for being on one or more committees.
• v) The Appointments and Compensation Committee has responsibility for preparing proposals to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of Directors holding special positions, for preparing the Policy and submitting it to the examination of the Board of Directors.

b) Intervention, where applicable, of a Compensation Committee or any other committee with competence on the subject, with a description of its composition, competences and the way it works.

As indicated above, the Appointments and Compensation Committee takes part in the preparation of the Policy to be submitted to the Board of Directors.

The Committee is made up of Independent Directors Massimo Cremona, Francesca Paola Dubini and Francesco Guasti.

The Appointments and Compensation Committee:

• Submits to the Board of Directors proposals relating to the compensation policies for Directors and Executives with strategic responsibilities;
• Gives opinions jointly with the Control and Risk Committee on proposals relating to the compensation policies for the head of internal auditing and the executive responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial statements and governance documents;
• Puts forward proposals for the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Directors holding special positions, which can also include compensation plans involving the assignation of stock options or other sharebased incentives;
• Puts forward proposals, at the indication of the Chief Executive Officer, on the criteria for the compensation of the managerial staff of the Company;
• Periodically assesses the adequacy, the consistency and the practical application of the compensation policy for Directors and Executives with strategic responsibilities.

c) Possible intervention of independent experts

In the preparation of the Policy no independent experts were involved.

d) Aims pursued with the compensation policy, principles underpinning it and any changes in the compensation policy from one year to the next

The Policy is established according to criteria that can attract, retain and motivate persons with adequate professional qualities to manage the Group effectively.

The guidelines of the Policy for this year have not changed from those of last year's Policy.

e) Description of the policies on the subject of fixed and variable items of compensation with particular reference to an indication of their relative weighting in the overall compensation and distinguishing between the variable items in the short versus the medium-long term

The compensation for Directors is in cash (i.e. it does not involve any equity component) and has no variable parts.

Directors holding special positions (the Chairman) have been assigned a fixed fee in cash by the Board of Directors.

The compensation assigned to Directors for being on one or more committees, is established every year as a fixed amount on the basis of the commitment required of each of them.

f) Policy followed in relation to non-monetary benefits

At present no (non-monetary) benefits are envisaged for Directors.

g) In relation to variable items, a description of performance objectives on the basis of which the former are assigned, distinguishing between short and mediumlong term variables, and information on the link between the change in results and the change in compensation

There is no variable part of the compensation in cash.

h) Criteria used for assessment of the performance objectives on which the assignation of shares, options or other financial instruments of other variable items of compensation is based

Not applicable because, as stated in paragraph e), no financial instruments are awarded.

i) Information which aims to show how the compensation policy is consistent with the pursuit of the long-term interests of the company and with the risk management policy, where it has been formalized

When defining the compensation systems, the Board of Directors was of the opinion that compensation based solely on a fixed fee was in line with the characteristics and nature of the Company.

In defining the compensation systems the Board of Directors also made sure that these systems gave due consideration to the "Guidelines on the subject of internal control and risk management" approved by the Board of October 29 2012.

j) The vesting period, the deferred payment systems, with an indication of the periods of deferral and the criteria used to determine these periods and, where applicable, ex post correction mechanisms

Not applicable.

k) Information on any clauses relating to holding the financial instruments after their acquisition, with an indication of the holding periods and of the criteria used to determine such periods

Not applicable.

l) Policy in relation to what payout is applicable when the position or the employment terminates, specifying which circumstances give rise to the right to such payout and any link between the said payout and the performance of the Company.

Except where application of the law requires otherwise, no sum is payable when the mandate of Directors terminates.

m) Information on the presence of possible insurance cover, in the sense of pension plans other than those that are obligatory

In line with best practice, an insurance policy (Directors & Officers) has been taken out against civil liability towards third parties for the various corporate bodies in the exercise of their functions with the aim of protecting the Group from the risk of having to pay compensation, except for cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

n) Compensation policy followed where applicable in relation to: (i) independent directorships, (ii) committee membership and (iii) special positions (chairman, deputy chairman etc.)

Compensation, in addition to the ordinary fee, is envisaged for Independent Directors who sit on any Committees.

Directors holding special positions (the Chairman) benefit from the compensation described in the preceding paragraphs.

o) If the compensation policy has been defined using the compensation policies of other companies as a reference, the criteria used for the choice of any such companies

The compensation Policy was prepared without any specific reference to the policies of other companies.
