The Report is composed of two sections:

  • 1) Section I shows (i) the remuneration policy for the members of the Board of Directors, the general managers and the senior executives and, notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Art. 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, also of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, adopted by the Company with regard to Fiscal Year 2022 (the "Remuneration Policy" or "Policy") and applicable until the adoption of a new remuneration policy, and (ii) the procedures used for the adoption, review and implementation of said remuneration policy, hereby including those measures aimed at avoiding or managing any potential conflict of interest;
  • 2) Section II, with regard to the remuneration of Board members and Auditors and, in aggregated form, to the remuneration of senior executives (as described below) 2 :
    • Shall provide an adequate, clear and comprehensible representation of each item of the remuneration, hereby including the treatments provided for office termination or termination of employment relationship, highlighting their conformity with the Policy adopted for the reference year;
    • Shall describe in detail the remuneration disbursed in 2022, for any reason and in any form, by the Company and its subsidiaries and partners;
    • Shall describe how the Company took into consideration the vote expressed on the previous year on Section II of the Report.

Pursuant to Art. 84-quater, par. 2 and 4 of the Issuers Regulation, Section II also shows, in specific tables, (i) the data regarding the financial instruments allocated for the implementation of the plans approved pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the CFA, as well as, (ii) the data regarding the investments held - in the Company and its subsidiaries - by members of the board of directors, statutory auditors and senior executives, as well as spouses not legally separated and minor children, directly or through subsidiary or trust or nominee companies, as resulting from the shareholder register, from the communications received and from other information acquired from the same members of the boards of directors, statutory auditors and senior executives.

2 Pursuant to Annex 3A, model 7-bis of the Issuers Regulation, being Giglio Group a "minor size company" pursuant to Art. 3, par. 1, letter f) of the Related-Parties Regulation (as defined below), it shall provide: (i) information on the remuneration allocated to senior executives (different than general managers, if present), in aggregated form; and (ii) information on any agreement that provides for indemnities in the event of early termination of employment, but only with regard to executive directors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

For the purposes of this Report, the following are noted:

  • a. Upon the approval of the Financial Statement as of 31 December 2020, the Board of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 11 May 2018, as reduced on 23 April 2020, finished its mandate. The directors in office until the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 21 June 2021 were as follows: Alessandro Giglio (Chairman); Anna Maria Lezzi (Executive Vice-chairwoman); Marco Riccardo Belloni (Executive Member); Francesco Gesualdi (Independent Member); Silvia Olivotto (Independent Member).

As of the closing date of the fiscal year, the Board of Directors was thus composed.
  • c. On 14 January 2022, as announced to the market, the Company received the resignation of Marco Riccardo Belloni from his office of executive director of the Company, effective immediately, due to personal reasons. On 26 January 2022, the Board of Directors of Giglio Group S.p.A., upon hearing the assessment of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and upon receiving the acceptance of the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, co-opted Carlo Micchi as new non-executive and nonindependent director, who shall remain in office until the next Shareholders' Meeting. The Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of this report shall also have to resolve upon the appointment of a director for the integration of the Board of Directors.

The Committee can access the information and the corporate functions needed for the performance of its offices.

The Committee shall define a budget on an annual basis, to be submitted for approval to the Board of Directors during the assessment of the annual reports.

3. THE REMUNERATION POLICY

The Company, while elaborating the Remuneration Policy, took into account the remuneration and the working conditions of its employees. More specifically, it is noted that the Group promotes gender-equality policies; moreover, annual incentive plans are provided for relevant employees. The bonuses disbursed as an incentive are in line with the aims and objectives of the Policy.

No independent expert took part in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy.

While elaborating the policy, the Company acknowledged the positive vote obtained in the previous year, thus amending the policy only in a non-substantial way.

3.1 Policies and Objectives

The Remuneration Policy applied by the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the CFA, of the Issuers Regulation and of the Corporate Governance Code:

  • i. Contributes to the corporate strategy, as it determines the main objectives entailed in the industrial plans and in the budget for the period as far as market, product, economic and financial parameters are concerned;
  • ii. Contributes to the achievement of the short/medium-term and long-term interests of the Company, as a significant portion of the overall remuneration of the executive directors and of the senior executives is connected with the achievement of specific financial and non-financial performance objectives such as: the revenues, the GMV, the gross margin, the EBITDA, the net profit and the number of active customers for each business line; with regard to the non-financial objectives, see below;
  • iii. Contributes to the sustainability of the Company, as it is aimed at achieving the creation of value in the long term for the benefit of the shareholders, also taking into account the interests of the various stakeholders relevant to the Company;
  • iv. Is determined by taking into account the remuneration and the working conditions of the employees of the Company, as the performance of each single employee is incentivised, given that a bonus is provided for those employees who reach the objectives set by the management; the Company is also in the process of adopting policies aimed at reducing the corporate costs, which will in turn incentive the streamlined work of its employees;
  • v. Provides for a specific fixed remuneration to all directors, determined upon their appointment by the Shareholders' Meeting. As a matter of fact, the latter shall establish the gross amount owed to each director and to the whole Board of Directors for the entire duration of its term. Said gross annual remuneration is not connected to the achievement of economic results, but to the skills, professionalism and commitment requested of each director in the execution of his/her office;
  • vi. Provides for an additional compensation to those directors vested with particular authorities, in addition to the fixed amount owed to them as members of the Board of Directors as determined upon their appointment, comprising a fixed and a

variable component, which shall be adequately balanced according to the function of the strategic objectives of the risk management policy of the Company, also taking into account the activity sector in which the Companies carries out its business:

  • The remuneration's fixed component shall suffice to remunerate the services f the recipient in the event that the variable component is not paid due to the failed achievement of the performance objectives established by the Board of Directors for executive directors;
  • The variable component is designed as an incentive and represents a significant part of the overall remuneration; it is subject to the achievement of financial performance objectives aimed at promoting the sustainable success of the Company. The first objectives can be measured on the basis of quantitative, economic-financial indicators, such as revenues, gross margin, EBITDA and reduction of fixed costs if compared to the previous fiscal year.
  • vii. Provides for a remuneration structured into a fixed and a variable component for senior executives, similarly to the remuneration provided for the directors vested with particular authorities:
    • The remuneration's fixed component shall suffice to remunerate the services f the recipient in the event that the variable component is not paid due to the failed achievement of the performance objectives established by the Board of Directors for senior executives;
    • The variable component has an incentivising effect and represents a significant part of the overall remuneration; it is subject to the achievement of financial performance objectives that can be measured on the basis of quantitative, economic-financial indicators such as revenues, gross industrial margin, EBITDA and reduction of fixed costs if compared to the previous year. With regard to non-financial objectives, see the previous paragraphs.

Notwithstanding the information mentioned in the following paragraph 3.5, directors and senior executives shall not be indemnified in the event of resignation, dismissal or termination of employment as a result of a public takeover bid.

On the basis of these criteria, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee expressed its favourable opinion about the Remuneration Policy, which was submitted for approval to the Board of Directors for the remuneration of the executive directors or of the directors vested with specific powers by the Company for 2021.

Policies Relating to the Remuneration's Fixed and Variable Components

Giglio Group's Remuneration Policy is based on different principles and modalities with regard to fixed an variable components of short and medium/long term in relation with the different types of addressees.

The fixed component of the remuneration rewards the width of the responsibilities connected with the given office, the subjective distinctive characteristics, the specialisation and the professionalism owned by each individual; it must be sufficient so as to remunerate the service also in the event of failure to achieve the performance and/or individual objectives to which the variable component is linked to.

The variable component of the retribution, on the other hand, is linked to the achievement of predetermined performance objectives, measurable both with the creation of value for shareholders and with their sustainability, as defined also through ESG objectives. The variable component is both declined with short-term activities (MBO) and medium/longterm ones (LTI) and can vary significantly, according to the level of achievement of the performance objectives.

A. Remuneration for the Office of Director

Pursuant to Art. 27 of the By-laws and Art. 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the remuneration of all the members of the Board of Directors is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting upon their appointment.

With regard to the directors in charge as of the closing date of the year, as well as as of the reporting date the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 June 2021 resolved to set the overall remuneration of all members of the Board of Directors to the gross amount of € 450,000 per year, pursuant to Art. 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, amount still confirmed today.

B. Remuneration Policy for Non-Executive Directors

A non-executive director is a director without individual management powers nor management duties within the Company or its Subsidiaries.

The remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined exclusively on a fixed basis and shall be in line with the duties requested of them in the execution of their offices, also taking into account any participation in one or more of the internal committees of the Board of Directors.

The remuneration of non-executive directors shall not be connected with the economic results achieved by the Company nor with the achievement of specific performance objectives, nor shall non-executive directors be recipients of share-based remuneration plans.

C. Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors

Executive directors or directors vested with specific powers within the Issuer (e.g. the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO), other than the fixed remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting upon appointment, are paid an amount determined by the Board of Directors, upon proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, pursuant to Art. 2389, par. 3 of the Italian Civil Code; This remuneration is composed of the following components:

  • A fixed component appropriately defined by taking into account the powers and particular authorities undertaken;
  • A variable component, of a pre-established maximum amount, linked to the achievement of short-term performance objectives;
  • A variable component, with a determined maximum amount, connected to the achievement of medium/long-term performance objectives (the LTI Plan 2021-2024, as detailed in par. 3.2.E); and
  • An incentive plan based on financial instruments (the Stock Option Plan 2021-2028, set forth in paragraph 3.2).

D. Remuneration Policy for Senior Executives

Senior executives, as defined in the RPT Procedure, have the power and the responsibility, directly or indirectly, of planning, managing and controlling the Company's activities, including the directors (executive and non-executive) of the Company (IAS 24, par. 9).

In view of this principle, senior executives shall be identified as follows:

  • Executive directors, as directors with individual powers of management and directive office within the Company;
  • Individuals responsible for the business areas in which the Group operates; and
  • Some managers of corporate functions.

Also the remuneration of senior executives who do not act also as executive directors is divided, in line with the responsibilities connected to the exercise of the operational powers in the management of the Company, into a fixed and a variable component.

The fixed component, which may comprise the basic salary and/or other forms of non variable remuneration , does not exceed 70% of the overall remuneration, with the exception of the remuneration provided for the CFO and the Financial Reporting Officer, who is not included in the LTI and MBO Plans. The amount of the fixed component is adapted to the size of the managed business and to the ability to contribute to the Group's consolidated results.

The variable component, also in this case is composed of:

  • i. A short-term remuneration;
  • ii. A medium-long-term remuneration (i.e. the LTI Plan 2021-2024 as detailed in par. 3.1.E); and
  • iii. An incentive plan based on financial instruments (i.e. the Stock Option Plan 2021- 2028, set forth in paragraph 3.2).

Senior executives who do not act as executive directors shall make use also of non-monetary benefits, as detailed in paragraph 3.3.

Furthermore, the Remuneration Policy foresees occasional rewarding disbursements through one-off payments not included in the variable component of the remuneration. Consistent with a pay for performance approach, the Company believes that the disbursement of one-off payments to those managers with a particular strategic importance who have excelled through exceptional individual contributions, is an important mechanism of differentiation and meritocratic selectivity and, as such, of retention of excellent resources. The assessment of such results and of the relative contributions and performance shall be responsibility of the CEO, who shall make use of the support of the Company's Human Resources Department. All the aforementioned notwithstanding the performance of the provisions concerning related-parties transactions as per the RPT Procedure and the internal corporate procedure, where applicable.

At the reporting date, with regard to 2023, the Company has identified only 1 senior executives (Carlo Micchi).

E. Short- and Medium/Long-term Variable Component Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors and Senior Executives.

The variable component of the executive directors and senior executives vested with particular authorities is of an incentive nature, and shall be conditioned by the achievement of short- and medium/long-term performance objectives.

It is determined, both with regard to the executive directors or directors vested with specific powers and with regard to the senior executives, by the Board of Directors, with the support of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and upon hearing the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Short-term Variable Remuneration

The short-term variable component can be obtained upon achieving predefined annual performance objectives related to performance indexes both at consolidated level as a Group and at individual business or central functions' level.

This component shall be paid yearly upon approval of the annual financial statement's project by the Board of Directors on verification of the achievement of the performance objectives.

The used KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), usually derived from budget data, are of quantitative and qualitative type and try to apply objective assessment elements (e.g. time or projects completion) that are not subject to assessment impartiality.

It is noted that, as a way to guarantee the method adopted, the objectives shall be certified by the Group Management and Control function both upon assignment and verification, and the process guarantees traceability and transparency for every stage. Furthermore, the short-term remuneration's composition scheme for the Company's top management is endowed with a structure which guarantees the assessment and monitoring of main management aspects.

The mechanism for the calculation of yearly short-term components' remuneration foresees a minimum access threshold to be paid of 90% of quantitative objectives assigned and a maximum payable compensation equal to 125% of the basic premium, obtainable only upon achievement or over-achievement of 120% of quantitative objectives.

The definition of the target levels at the basis of the annual short-term objectives is connected to the achievement of performance objectives related to budget forecasts and determined by the Board of Directors. The comparison between annual figures objectives assigned determines the measure of the variable component of the distributable remuneration.

Medium/Long-term Variable Remuneration

The LTI Plan 2021-2024

The LTI Plan 2021-2024 (the "LTI Plan") provides for the disbursement of cash incentives on an annual basis against the achievement of predetermined performance objectives defined by the Board of Directors with the terms and conditions set forth in the related regulation (the "LTI Plan Regulation"), to which reference is made for everything that is not mentioned in this Report.

The Plan shall last for four years, from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2024.

  • i. Executive Directors;
  • ii. The general manager and other senior executives; and
  • iii. Other relevant managers for the purpose of achieving the result objectives identified by the Board of Directors, upon favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, who, at the moment of their insertion in the LTI Plan 2021-2024, will meet specific requirements linked to the continuation of their collaboration with the Company.

The performance objectives of LTI Plan 2021-2024, are calculated with the following parameters: EBITDA as main reference economic parameter on the basis of which the sum of the bonus shall be determined, along with ESG initiatives (Environmental, Social & Governance) as corrective parameter (+/-10%) of the accrued bonus.

The EBITDA objectives are inferred from the Industrial Plan approved by the Board of Directors on 28 March 2022. The ESG objectives shall be approved on an annual basis by the Board of Directors and announced within 30 days from the approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the year preceding that to which the ESG objective refer to.

3.2 Executive Directors and Senior Executives' Remuneration Plans Based on Financial Instruments

As far as the remuneration plans based on financial instruments are concerned, to be approved by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Act and to be reported to the market in accordance to the applicable law, the policy adopted by the Company foresees that the details and the application modalities shall be defined by the Board of Directors together with the consulting and proposing support of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, also consistently with the risk profile of the company and with reference to the general principles of:

  • Consolidation of the process of creating sustainable value for the Company and the Group in the medium/long term, as well as and the provision of incentives and assurance of the loyalty of management through the definition of multi-annual vesting terms and conditions;

  • Assignment or exercising of financial instruments subject to achieving corporate, individual and/or market performance objectives which are predefined and measurable; and

  • Contractual commitments regarding the recipients' tenures with the company.

The Company has made use of the support of a specialised consultancy company Active Value S.p.A. in order to define and manage the incentive plans based on financial instruments according to standard market conventions for listed companies of similar size and scope.

Giglio Group Stock Option Plan 2021-2028

The complete information regarding the incentive plan called "Stock Option Plan 2021- 2028" (the "Giglio Group Stock-Option Plan 2021-2028" or "Plan") approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2021 is shown below, pursuant to Art. 123-ter, par. 5 of the Consolidated Act, and to Art. 84-bis, par. 2 of the Issuers Regulation. The Plan represents a further component of the medium/long-term remuneration of executive directors and senior executives.

For more information on the Plan, see the disclosure document drafter pursuant to Art. 84 bis and Scheme 7 of Annex 3A of the Issuers Regulation (the "Disclosure Document"), available on the website of the Company at www.giglio.org, in the "Corporate Governance/Shareholders' Meeting/ Shareholders' Meeting 21 June 2021" section, and on the authorised storage mechanism eMarket Storage, at www.emarketstorage.com.

A. Recitals

On 10 May 2021, the Board of Directors resolved to submit the Plan for the approval of the Meeting, called on 21 April 2021, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the CFA.

The Plan provides for the free allocation of options for the subscription and/or purchase of a maximum of no. 900,000 ordinary shared of Giglio Group S.p.A., with a ratio of one (1) share per option, with the terms and conditions established in the Plan and described in the Disclosure Document, in order to incentivise and to retain within the Group the beneficiaries of the Plan, thus aligning their interests with those of the shareholders. It is noted that the Stock-Option Plan 2021-2028 was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 June 2021.

B. Plan Beneficiaries, Reasons for the Adoption of the Plan and Main Characteristics

The Company believes that compensation plans based on shares are an efficient means to provide incentives for and retain the loyalty of persons having key roles in the Company and the Group, in order to maintain high and improve the performances of the Company, as well as increasing the growth and success of the Company and the Group. More specifically, the Plan is an adequate instrument to align the interests of executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities with those of the shareholders, allowing to pursuit the main objective of value creation in a medium/long-term period.

Should the predetermined corporate and/or individual performance objectives be met under the terms and conditions established by the Plan's regulation, the Plan shall provide for the free allocation of options (the "Options") to the beneficiaries of the Plan, which shall allow for the consequent subscription or purchase of a maximum of 900,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the "Shares"), listed on the STAR-MTA segment of the stock-exchange market regulated by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., with a ratio of one (1) share per option, against the payment of an exercise price that will be determined by the Board of Directors, upon favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, on the basis of the arithmetic average of official prices recorded by the Shares of the Company on the MTA segment in the month before the date of allocation of the Options, with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and its Regulation.

The plan is addressed to the Executive Directors and/or to the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities within the Company, identified by the Board of Directors, following the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

The jurisdiction for the management and implementation of the Plan belongs to the Board of Directors, which can rely on the consultative and preparatory support of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, as well as, eventually, of the Human Resources Department. As far as the exercise of the Options is concerned, the Plan's management shall be taken care of by a relevant trust company, which shall abide by the Plan Regulation's provisions.

Among the beneficiaries of the Plan, the following components of the Board of Directors of the Company are included: (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Alessandro Giglio; (ii) the Vice-Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, Anna Lezzi.

According to the information included in the Disclosure Document (to which reference is made), the Plan shall last for multiple years and, as such, shall be divided into three (3) vesting periods ("rolling"), each lasting three years, defined as follows:

  • First tranche: May 2021 May 2024 (Vesting Period 2021-2024);
  • Second tranche: May 2022 May 2025 (Vesting Period 2022-2025);
  • Third tranche: May 2023 May 2026 (Vesting Period 2023-2026);

The vesting periods represent the periods in which the corporate and/or individual performance objectives are measured; the achievement of said objectives is a precondition for the allocation of Options to each beneficiary, as defined by the Board of Directors at the end of each vesting period.

The options accrued upon the end of a vesting period may be exercised by the beneficiaries, with the terms and conditions defined by the Plan, in the period that goes from 30 May 2024 (or a different date as decided by the Board of Directors) to 31 May 2028 (or a different term as decided by the Board of Directors), pursuant to the following time-frames, to which the Options allocated to each beneficiary shall make reference to:

  • First tranche: May 2024 May 2026 (Exercise Period 2024-2026);
  • Second tranche: May 2025 May 2027 (Exercise Period 2025-2027);
  • Third tranche: May 2026 May 2028 (Exercise Period 2026-2028);

In any event, all Options must be exercised before 31 May 2028 (the "Expiry Date"), under penalty of expiration.

The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend and/or establish new Exercise Periods.

This notwithstanding the Board of Directors' authority, upon favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, to use, for the exercise of options, any own share of the Company purchased within the context of buy-back programmes resolved upon and executed pursuant to the applicable law.

The Plan shall not foresee any redemption clause on behalf of the Company, but it does foresee revocation and return clauses. More specifically, in the three years consequent to the exercise of the Options, should it emerge that the exercise took place on the basis of manifestly incorrect data (hereby including the beneficiary's responsibility for erroneous calculations in determining one or more individual and/or performance objectives or for misinformation aimed at influencing a priori the stock market prices or for wilful alteration of the figures used for said determination, or even for determining one or more performance and/or individual objectives via unlawful behaviours or behaviours against corporate laws - violation of the Organisation, Management, Control and Ethics Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 -, internal corporate procedures and/or the Plan's regulation ), the beneficiary shall be forced to return to the Company the Shares exercised or an amount equal to their value upon their purchase.

Should the aforementioned situations take place, the Company may withhold an amount equal to the shares value at the purchase date from any sum owed to the beneficiary, like by way of example - any sort of remuneration, rewards and severance indemnities for the beneficiary, who is obliged to expressly authorise said compensation.

C. Performance and Individual Objectives

Options allocated by the Board of Directors to each beneficiary shall become Accrued, and thus exercisable by beneficiaries during the relevant exercise periods, only upon achievement of the specific performance objectives of each tranche and in accordance to the terms shown in the following tables:

First tranche

The verification of the achievement of the performance and/or individual objectives will be carried out by the Board of Directors following the approval by the Board of the consolidated financial statements related to the last year of the three-year period to which the objectives refer to, with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan's regulation.

The Options shall be nominal, personal, non-disposable and non-transferable for the beneficiary until the moment of their exercise. In the event of the beneficiary's death, the Options that were not accrued as of the date of his/her death will cease to hold any effect. On the other hand, the Options already accrued but not yet exercised as of the date of his/her death may be exercised by whoever is entitled to do so pursuant to the applicable law of succession, notwithstanding the expiry date of the Plan and always in respect of the obligations, terms and conditions set forth in the Plan that will be adopted by the Board of Directors.

The Plan provides for the beneficiary's free use of his/her Shares, without prejudice to the aforementioned, after their purchase or subscription.

More specifically, the beneficiaries who act as "executive directors" pursuant to the definitions set forth in the Corporate Governance Code, as identified by the Board of Directors, shall have the obligation to hold continuously, until the date of end of their term

3 The EBITDA adjusted is defined as the income before interests, taxes, write-down and divestment, excluding the extraordinary components (non-recurring).

as directors, a number of Shares equal to at least 20% of those purchased following the Options' exercise. The beneficiaries who act as "senior executives", as identified by the Board of Directors, shall have the obligation to hold continuously, for a period of two years from the date of exercise of the relevant Options, a number of Shares equal to at least 20% of those purchased following the Options' exercise. All of the above, notwithstanding different written authorisation by the Board of Directors.

D. Effects of the termination of the directorship/employment relationship of beneficiaries Unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors and notwithstanding the Board's powers to reach different agreements with each beneficiary, the Options' allocation is subject to the verification, always carried out by the Board, (i) that the performance and/or individual objectives have been met, and that (ii) as of the Options' allocation date, and also as of their exercise, the beneficiary still has an employment relationship with the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and that his/her conditions of beneficiary within the Company or the Group did not end, as far as his/her role is concerned.

It shall be responsibility of the Board of Directors to point out in the Plan's regulation the consequences that may arise upon the beneficiary's termination of office or of employment with the Company or the Group, distinguishing - pursuant to the best market practises between the hypotheses of good leaving and of bad leaving.

The Board of Directors, at its own discretion, shall have the power to allow the total or partial exercise of the Stock Options to the beneficiaries, with the terms and conditions set forth from time to time by the Board itself, also in the event that the beneficiary has lost his/her right to exercise the Stock Options allocated to him/her.

The Stock Options' allocation in one of the years of validity of the Plan shall not give any right or expectation to the Stock Options' allocation in the following years, nor to the continuation of the employment, collaboration or consultancy relationship of the beneficiary with the Company and the Group, which will be governed solely by the applicable norms under the existing laws.

3.3 Non-Monetary Benefits

The Policy provides for the attribution of non-monetary benefits usually recognised in a compensatory policy and coherent with the office/function held by the interested party. More specifically, as far as executive directors and senior executives are concerned, additional life insurance and medical care with respect to mandatory insurance coverages provided by national collective agreements (if applicable) are foreseen, as well as other fringe benefits such as the allocation of a business car.

3.4 Clauses for Holding Financial Instruments in the Portfolio

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Stock Option Plan 2021-2028 (see paragraph 3.2b), at the reporting date, the Company has not entered in any agreement that provide for clauses for holding financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition.

It is noted that, with regard to the share capital increase carried out with Board of Directors' resolution on 21 December 2020, in exercise of the proxy granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on 12 November 2020, shareholders Antonio Lembo e Alessandro Giglio subscribed part of the share capital increase. With regard to the shares issued upon the execution of the share capital increase, it is noted that a lock-up clause of six months was established. For more information, see the "Explanatory Notes of the Board of Directors - Share Capital Increase 21 December 2020" published on the Company's website at www.giglio.org –

"Corporate Governance/Meetings/Meeting 12 December 2020" section, as well as the press releases related to the Internal Dealing communications, published on 24 November 2020 and available on the Company's website at www.giglio.org "Investor Relations – Press Releases (2015-2020)" section.

3.5 Applicable Treatments in the Event of Termination of Office or of Employment Relationship

The employment contracts of senior executives are signed in accordance with the applicable national collective labour agreement, which provides for the payment, in addition to the notice, of an amount of 12-months salary, to be intended as a substitute for any eventual indemnity owed pursuant to the collective agreement and the length of service, in the event that the Company withdraws from the employment relation without just cause, pursuant to Art. 2119 of the Italian Civil Code.

It is also noted that the Financial Reporting Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Group is party to a consultancy contract with the Company, comparable to a salaried employment contract for the commitment and the responsibilities requested of him. The same contract provides for a termination with a 90-days notice, without indemnities.

As far as the effects determined by the termination of the employment relation and/or of the management of LTI Plan 2021-2024 and the Stock Option Plan 2021-2028 beneficiaries is concerned, see the previous relevant paragraphs.

Against the non-competition commitments assumed by senior executives, in the event of termination of employment relation with the Company and for a period of 12 months from the termination of the employment relation, the Company undertakes to pay an amount equal to 70% of the gross annual remuneration owed to said executive.

At the reporting date, no further agreements between the Company and the members of its Board of Directors and its senior executives providing for pre-determined treatments in the event of termination of office or of employment relation exist, nor any non-competition agreements.

3.6 Social Security or Pension Coverage

Except for the following, the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Issuer does not provide for additional social security or pensions coverage other than the mandatory ones.

For senior executives, as well as for directors Alessandro Giglio and Anna Maria Lezzi, supplementary forms of health care, life insurance and accidents are provided, in addition to the ones set forth in the collective agreement of reference.

3.7 Policy Regarding Independent Directors, the Participation to Committees and the Undertaking of Specific Responsibilities

The Board of Directors determined not to pay to the members of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and of the Internal Control, Risk and Related-Parties Committee, a specific remuneration for their participation in said Committees.

At the reporting date, the Company has not adopted any specific remuneration policy for independent directors or for the execution of specific offices.

3.8 Benchmarks Used for the Definition of the Remuneration Policy

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Stock Option Plan 2021-2028 (see paragraph b), at the reporting date, the Company has not entered in any agreement that provide for clauses for holding financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition.

In general terms, it should be noted that the overall remuneration of executive directors and senior executives is defined by paying particular attention to a market benchmark that enhances a large number of elements, including the capacity to contribute to the Company results, the complexity of the offices and the functions held, the work performance and the comparability with the levels of internal remuneration, in connection with the Group's current dimensions.

3.9 Board of Statutory Auditors' Remuneration

Pursuant to 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, the annual remuneration of all the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting upon their appointment and for the whole duration of their term.

The remuneration is thus determined, having taken into account criteria such as professional skills and experience of each member, as well as the time commitment required for the performance of their office.

With regard to the Board of Statutory Auditors currently in charge as of the closing date of 2022 and as of the reporting date (appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 June 2021 and integrated by the Meeting of 21 September 2021), the Shareholders Meeting of 21 June 2021 resoled to define at € 38,000 per year the remuneration for the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and at € 32,000 per year the remuneration of the other auditors.

3.10 Exceptional Circumstances

The Board of Directors believes that, in the presence of specific exceptional circumstances, it is possible to temporarily derogate from the remuneration policy mentioned in this report with the following terms.

Exceptional circumstances means all those situations in which the derogation from the remuneration policy is necessary for the purpose of achieving the long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company as a whole, or for ensuring its business continuity on the market, including, by way of example but not limited thereto, situations connected to or arising from the COVID-19 epidemic and similar.

The Company may derogate from the Policy only with regard to the following elements:

  • The portion corresponding to the variable component of the remuneration of the executive directors and of the senior executives, proportionate to the objectives achieved, hereby including, by way of example, the weight attached to said component in the overall remuneration, the performance objectives to whose achievement the variable components are subject to, the vesting periods and the provision of further remuneration components based on shares, options and other financial instruments, or of other variable remuneration components, any deferred payment system and the ex-post correction mechanisms of the variable component;
  • The provision of any bonus, non-monetary benefits, incentive plans (monetary or base on financial instruments) or extraordinary emoluments; as well as
  • The provision and/or existence of applicable treatments in the event of termination of office or of employment relationship.

With regard to the procedural conditions on the basis o f which the derogation can be applied, any temporary derogation from the Remuneration Policy must be approved by the Board of Directors, upon hearing the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, without prejudice to the provisions set forth in the RPT Procedure, where applicable.

The Board of Directors' resolution determined the duration of said derogation and the specific elements of the Policy that are being derogated, pursuant to all of the aforementioned.
