Please refer to the preceding paragraph 1.1 for information regarding the methods of identifying the Beneficiaries of the Plan.

2. REASONS FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN

2.1 Objectives that are expected to be achieved by adopting the plans.

The aim of adoption of the Plan is to foster the loyalty of the directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who occupy positions of major significance and who are, therefore, directly responsible for the results of the Company, and to incentivise them to remain with the Group with a view to create value for the Company and its Shareholders.

In particular, the objectives that the Company aims to achieve by implementing the Plan are:

  • (i) To reward the loyalty of persons who occupy a central role in the achievement of the Group's results;
  • (ii) To align the interests of the Beneficiaries with the pursuit of the primary objective of creating value for Shareholders over the medium-long term;
  • (iii) To enhance corporate retention of the Group's key resources on the basis of their current positions or their future potential within the Group;
  • (iv) To enhance the Group's competitiveness on labour markets by making it more attractive to the best talent available on the market;
  • (v) To develop team spirit amongst key resources by giving them access to the instruments that represent the Company's values.

The Plan is scheduled to evolve over a three year period, which is considered to be the most suitable period for the achievement of the objectives of the Plan.

2.2 Key variables, including those considered to be performance indicators which will be taken into account to allow the implementation of incentive plans based on financial instruments.

The fundamental condition for the allocation of Rights is represented by the function covered within the Company or the Subsidiary as indicated in point 1.2.

The vesting of Rights and, consequently, the right to receive Shares depends on the verification by the Board of Directors of the following conditions, for the percentage of Rights indicated here:

(i) 40% of the total number of rights given to a Beneficiary will vest, giving the right to the allocation

of an equal number of Shares to the Beneficiary, at the end of the Vesting Period on the condition that at the end of the Vesting Period the fiduciary Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is ongoing; and

(ii) 60% of the total number of rights given to a Beneficiary will vest, giving the right to the allocation of an equal number of Shares to the Beneficiary, at the end of the Vesting Period on the condition that the Performance Objectives have been achieved and that there is an ongoing fiduciary Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

The above terms are illustrated without prejudice to the Board of Directors' authority to sign different agreements with the Beneficiaries that allow for the total or partial vesting of the Rights allocated – and, therefore, the partial or total allocation of Shares to the said correspondents – even in the event that at the end of the Vesting Period the Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company or with the relevant Subsidiary has ceased.

The Board of Directors, following the conclusion of the Vesting Period, will arrange for the verification of the aforementioned conditions, and will consequently determine, the number of Shares to allocate to each Beneficiary. Allocation of the Shares will be made by 30 June 2020.

2.3 Factors underlying the entity's determination of the remuneration based on financial insgruments, or the criteria for the determination thereof.

Determination of the number of Rights to allocate to each Beneficiary will be made by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, on the basis of the role and responsibilities assumed by each Beneficiary within the Company and the Group.

The vesting of Rights and, consequently, the right to allocate the Shares corresponding to the Vesting Period will be subject to the suspensive condition that the vesting conditions referred to in paragraph 2.2 have been met.

2.4 Reasons underlying any potential decision to arrange compensation schemes based on financial instruments not distributed by the Issuer such as financial instruments issued by Subsidiaries or Controlling companies or third party companies of the Group; in the case that the aforementioned instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to determine the value attributed to them.

The Plan does not foresee the payment of compensation based on financial instruments other than those issued by the Company.

2.5 Assessment of any significant fiscal or accounting implications having an impact on the definition of the Plans.

There are no particular fiscal and/or accounting implications which have an impact on the definition of the Plan.

2.6 Possible support of the Stock Option Plan by the Special Fund for Incentivisation of Employee Participation in Companies, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 112 of Law No. 350 of 24 December 2003.

The Plan will receive no support from the Special Fund for Incentivisation of Employee Participation in Companies, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 112 of Law No. 350 of 24 December 2003.

3. APPROVAL PROCEDURE AND TIMING OF SHARE ALLOCATION

It should be noted that at the date of the present Information Document the Company already holds no. 204,000 ordinary shares of Trevifin which are not however available to service the Plan.

3.5 Roles carried out by each director in determining the characteristics of the stated plans; potential recourse in situations where conflicts of interest may arise affecting directors with an interest.

The characteristics of the Plan to be submitted for the approval of the Meeting of Shareholders of the Company pursuant to an in accordance with Article 114-bis of the TUF, have been determined in joint sessions of the Board of Directors, with proactive and conultancy services provided by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and in compliance with the conclusions of the said Committee, in accordance with the recommendations of the Self-Regulatory Code and in line with best corporate practice.

No directors with specific responsibilities are included amongst the Beneficiaries of the Plan. Therefore, the board's resolution to allocate the Rights to such Beneficiaries will be adopted in compliance with the provisions of Articles 2391 and 2389 of the Civil Code.

3.6 For the purposes of compliance with the requirements of Article 84-bis, paragraph 1, the date of the decision taken by the competent body charged with proposing approval of the plans to the Shareholders' Meeting and of any potential proposal by the Remuneration Committee.

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in its meeting of 6 April 2017, has examined the Plan and agreed to submit it for the approval of the Board of Directors.

On 12 April 2017, the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, agreed to approve the proposed Plan and to submit it for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting.

3.7 For the purposes of the requirements of Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, point a), the date of the decision taken by the competent body concerning allocation of instruments and of any proposal made to the said body by the Remuneration Committee.

Pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, point a) of the Issuers Regulation, it is expected that the decision regarding the allocation of Rights will be made by the Board of Directors during 2017, in one or more operations, following the Meeting of Shareholders convened to approve the Plan, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

The decisions that will be taken by the Board of Directors to implement the Plan will be communicated to the public in accordance with Article 84-bis, paragraph 5, point a) of the Issuers' Regulation.

3.9 In the case of plans based on financial instruments traded on regulated markets, the terms and the procedures according to which the issuer takes account, in the context of determining the timing of allocation of instruments in implementing the plans, of the possible temporal coincidence between: (i) the said allocation or any decisions taken in this regard by the Remuneration Committee, and (ii) the dissemination of any relevant information pursuant to Article 114, paragraph 1; e.g. in the event that such information may be: a. Not already public knowledge and might positively influence market prices, or b. Already public knowledge and might have a negative effect on market prices.

The shares will be allocated only at the end of the Vesting Period and will be conditional on checks and confirmation that the vesting conditions referred to in paragraph 2.2. have been met by 30 June 2020 Consequently, any communication of privileged information at the moment of allocation of the Rights would not explain positive effects on the Plan attributable to the conduct of Beneficiaries who, at that point, will be prohibited from carrying out any Share transactions, as allocation of the Shares is deferred to a later period than the time established for the allocation of the Rights.

The Procedure for allocating Rights and allocating Shares will, in any case, be conducted in full compliance with the obligations governing information that are incumbent on the Company, in such a way as to ensure transparency and equality of dissemination of information to the market and in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Company.

The identification of the Beneficiaries and the allocation of the Rights will be carried out by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in one or more tranches, during the financial year 2017.

In line with the recommendations of the Self-Regulatory Code, the Plan provides for a Vesting Period of three years beginning from the Allocation Date.

Allocation of the Shares will take place by 30 June 2020, the date set for the termination of the Plan.

The Plan will terminate on 30 June 2020 or, if a prior date is set, on full allocation of the Shares to the Beneficiaries.

4.3 Maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of stock options, granted in each fiscal year in relation to named persons or indicated categories.

The maximum number of Shares that may be allocated to the Beneficiaries in implementing the Plan is 700,000 (seven hundred thousand/00) equal, at today's date, to 0.425 % of the share capital with voting rights and to 0.425% of the ordinary share capital of the Company.

4.4 Procedures and clauses for implementation of the Plan, specifying whether effective allocation of the instruments is subject to the verification of conditiopns or to the achievement of pre-set results including performance related results; description of these conditions and results.

As previously indicated in paragraph 2.3., determination of the number of Rights to assign to each Beneficiary will be carried out by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Appointment and Remuneration Committee, based on the role and responsibility of each Beneficiary within the Company and the Group.

4.5 Indication of any constraints imposed on the instruments granted or on the instruments arising from the exercise of stock options, with particular reference to the time limits within which subsequent transfer to the Company itself or to third parties is allowed or prohibited.

An amount equal to 20% of the Shares delivered to each Beneficiary at the end of the Vesting Period will be subjected to a lock-up period of 12 months beginning from the date of actual delivery of the same.

In addition, the Beneficiaries may not make Share transactions during the Black-Out Periods.

4.6 Description of any termination conditions in relation to the allocation of plans in cases where the beneficairies carry out hedging transactions which allow them to neutralize any prohibition on sales of financial instruments allocated, also as stock options, or the financial instruments arising from exercise of these options.

Not applicable, as there are no termination conditions in the event that the Beneficiary carries out hedging transactions.

4.7 Description of the effects determined by the termination of employment.

Since the right of each Beneficiary to receive Shares is conditional, amongst other things, on the continuation of the Relationship between the said Beneficiary and one of the Companies belonging to the Group until the end of the Vesting Period, in the event of termination of the Relationship, the following measures will be applied, without altering the power of the Board of Directors, if appropriate, to sign different agreemenst with the Beneficiaries allowing equally for the partial or total allocation of the Shares.

Termination of the Relationship due to "bad leaver" circumstances as defined below, will result in automatic forfeiture, definitive and irrevocable, of the right of the Beneficiary to receive the Shares from the Company, with the consequent discharge of the Company from any obligation or responsibility towards the Beneficiary, except for any Shares that may already have been allocated.

The following examples come within the category of "bad leaver" status, depending on the circumstances: (i) dismissal of the Beneficiary, revocation of the position of Director and/or of the mandate granted to the Beneficiary, or non-renewal of the position of Director and/or of the mandate granted to the Beneficiary, all subject to just cause; (ii) termination of the relationship as a consequence of the voluntary resignation Beneficiary, which does not qualify as "good leaver" status.

Where the working Relationship ends before the end of the Vesting Period due to circumstances that qualify as "good leaver" status, as defined below, the Beneficiary or his/her heirs, without prejudice to respect for commitments, procedures and time limits referred to in the Plan, will retain the right to receive from the Company the allocation of a number of Shares proportionate with the period of effective service provided between the Date of Allocation and the date of termination of the working or directoral Relationship.

The following examples come within the category of "good leaver" status, depending on the circumstances: (i) retirement; (ii) dismissal of the Beneficiary without just cause; (iii) revocation of the position of Director or non-renewal of the position of Director without just cause; (iv) dimissal from the position of advisor if the Beneficiary, without recourse to just cause, suffers a revocation or non-confirmation of his/her mandate such that his/her relationship with the Company is substantially changed; (v) dismissal from a position of employment or anullment of a working relationship in one or more of the following cases: (a) permanent physical or mental incapacity (due to illness or accident) of the Beneficiary; (b) death of the Beneficiary.

It remains understood that in the case of transfer of the working relationship and/or the directoral relationship from the Company to another company of the Group and/or in the event of termination of the working relationship and/or the directoral relationship with the Company and the simultaneous commencement of a new working relationship and/or directoral relationship with a different company belonging to the Group the Beneficiary will retain, mutatis mutandis, all rights attributed to him/her by the Plan.

4.8 Indication of other possible causes of cancellation of the plan.
