The key actions and updates for 2025 are detailed later in this document, particularly in the "2025 New Features" section and paragraph 1.2.

Considering the governance and business evolutions that took place during 2024, the 2025 Remuneration Policy provides for the following changes to further align Recordati's Policy with best practices and to incorporate the valuable information collected during the engagement season as well as for the purposes of safeguarding business continuity and the ability to attract top managers from the market:
Section I: 2025 Remuneration Policy Report

Recordati attaches great importance to the annual analysis of the results of the Shareholders' Meeting voting outcomes and values the opinions of key stakeholders and users of its Remuneration Policy. This approach ensures continuous enhancement in aligning with market best practices, incorporating recommendations for improvement, particularly from regulatory bodies, shareholders and proxy advisors.
The Annual General Shareholders' Meeting held on April 22, 2024, voted in favour of Section I of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid published in 2024. The chart below illustrates the result of the binding vote (% of the voting capital represented in the AGM).


The voting results from the Shareholders' Meeting on April 22, 2024, were thoroughly examined within the broader governance framework that underpins the Company's remuneration and incentive policies and schemes.
Recordati values dialogue with shareholders and institutional investors to positively influence company behavior and enhance transparency. The Company maintains continuous relationships with proxy advisors and key institutional investors to involve them in defining and assessing the Remuneration Policy for Directors and Key Management Personnel.
This engagement is conducted semi-annually or annually, with the support of a specialized external advisor, by human resources, investor relations, and the board secretariat, and involving the Chair of the Remuneration Committee. Feedback from these interactions is reviewed by the Remuneration committee to address any issues and report significant developments to the Board of Directors through the Chair or a designated member.
The table below outlines the feedback from shareholders and proxy advisors, along with Recordati's responses and the actions taken:
| Section I | |
|---|---|
| Feedback received by Shareholders/Proxy advisors |
Recordati's response and/or actions taken |
| No "Ex Ante" disclosure of incentive targets for the LTI plan |
Recordati cannot disclose "Ex Ante" targets due to business sensitivity but will review this matter during the design of the new LTI plan, which is set for Shareholders' approval in 2026. |
| Excessive board discretion for derogation | In paragraph 2.4, the number of compensation items subject to derogation has been reduced, specifically non-monetary benefits, additional insurance, social security, and pension coverage. |
| Insufficient disclosure on CFO | Whilst uncommon in Italy, to comply with international best practice, the company provides a comprehensive overview of the CFO's compensation elements in this Remuneration Policy Section (notwithstanding that the CFO's remuneration elements arise from his employment relationship and not from his directorship role) and includes a detailed disclosure on STI in Sections I and II. |
| Termination benefits not aligned with best practice |
CEO This report clarifies that the combined severance and non-compete payments for the CEO will not exceed two years of base salary plus the average STI. |
| Key Management Personnel There are no changes to severance arrangements, which remain at maximum equal to two years of base salary plus the average STI, in line with the relevant Italian CBA and standard practice. Regarding non-compete arrangements, the Policy introduces a cap of one year for any future non-compete payments if implemented (in addition to severance), aligning with standard Italian practice. |
|
| Lack of share ownership guidelines in policy |
Given that it is not a common market practice for industrial Italian companies, the current LTI plan requires key management personnel to retain 50% of their net shares for two years after the vesting date. The company is closely monitoring trends and will evaluate the possibility of replacing this requirement with new share ownership guidelines during the design of the new LTI plan in 2026. |
| Feedback received by Shareholders/Proxy advisors |

| Not sufficient disclosure of incentive outcomes |
Both financial and strategic performance in relation to payouts are discussed in greater detail in Section II of this report. |
|||
| Transaction bonuses | The CEO is not eligible for transaction bonuses. In 2024, no transaction bonuses were paid to any key management personnel. |
|||
| CEO pay ratio | In this report the CEO pay ratio is being disclosed. |
Below evidence is provided regarding the estimation of the pay mix for 2025 of the Chief Executive Officer, CFO and Key Management Personnel, in the case of target performance.

On April 29, 2022, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) appointed a Board of Directors consisting of twelve members.
The current Board of Directors will serve until the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31st, 2024. Among the Directors, four are classified as independent.
Below is a summary of the composition of the Board of Directors as of the date of this Report, including the qualifications of each Director:

A new Board of Directors shall be elected for the term 2025-2027.

The Committee can access necessary Company resources and hire external consultants, subject to Board conditions. It may request funds to fulfill its duties. If using consultants for remuneration policy insights, the Committee must ensure their independence.
To avoid conflicts of interest, no director takes part in the meetings of the Committee in which proposals relating to his or her own remuneration are formulated, except in the case of proposals concerning all the members of the Committees established within the Board of Directors.
.
The Remuneration and Nominations Committee meets periodically and as often as necessary to carry out its functions according to an annual calendar that typically follows the below activity cycle:

It is important to note that, in accordance with internal regulations and corporate governance processes, specific remuneration and incentive issues are also addressed by the Risk, Control, and CSR Committee. This committee formulates its opinions with input from relevant internal functions as needed.
In line with the relevant laws and regulations in force and with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the decision-making process leading to the implementation of the Remuneration Policy and the responsibility for its correct application takes place in the following phases in which many parties are involved:

The Remuneration Policy may, if necessary or appropriate, be updated by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, which is responsible for periodically assessing, as better described below, its adequacy, overall consistency and effective application.
Recordati actively monitors market practices using remuneration benchmarks from independent consultancy firms, which offer insights into industry practices and help ensure competitive remuneration offerings. Willis Towers

Watson (WTW) has been engaged to assist in preparing this report and identifying market practices for the Chair, CEO, CFO, Key Management Personnel and Non-Executive Directors.
The Group Human Resources Department formulates the initial guidelines for the Company's Remuneration Policy and supports the Remuneration and Nominations Committee by preparing essential materials. The Administration, Finance, and Control Department aids in defining the economic and financial objectives for incentive systems, with input from other department heads as needed.
The Remuneration Policy is subject to updates by the Board of Directors, based on proposals from the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, which regularly assesses its adequacy, consistency, and effectiveness.
Under Article 123-ter of the TUF and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulations, Recordati may temporarily deviate from its remuneration policies during exceptional circumstances that require such actions to safeguard the Company's long-term interests or market position.
If the conditions are met, the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee as the Committee responsible for Related Party Transactions as provided for in the relevant Group Procedure, may temporarily54 derogate the remuneration policy in the circumstances identified above, limited to the following elements:
5 The Board resolution will determine the duration of this derogation and the specific elements of the Policy that are derogated.
Remuneration Policy
The purposes pursued with the Remuneration Policy, which has a yearly duration, are to meet the objective of establishing a remuneration that meets the requirements to:
The Remuneration Policy is defined in line with the strategy of the Company and of the Group.
Recordati's strategic vision is to continue with the profitable growth that the Company has been sustaining since the early nineties, focusing on both organic growth and development through strategic acquisitions in both the Rare Diseases business and in the Specialty and Primary Care business, with the objective of strengthening its presence in selected markets worldwide. In fact, over the last few decades, the Group has grown steadily, thanks to the success of its products and its growth model based on internalization and diversification, implemented precisely through an acquisition strategy that is still underway, in addition with the organic growth of the business. All of this takes place in a context of searching for new opportunities and continuous market evolution.
In addition, in recent years, the Company has also undertaken several initiatives in the field of sustainability. In fact, given the nature of the Company, sustainability is an integral part of the Group's strategy, aimed at bringing benefits not only to patients but also to all the stakeholders with whom the Company interacts, including shareholders, customers, scientific and business partners, collaborators and local communities.
To this end, each of the remuneration components offered to the Company's Management responds to a precise purpose for the pursuit of this strategic vision and, thanks to an adequate balance between fixed and variable components, contributes to the structuring of a remuneration package that, overall, ensures an effective alignment between Management remuneration and shareholders' interests, expressed primarily by the proportionality between the value of the variable components accrued and the results achieved, both in the short and long-term.

Below are the features of Recordati's Remuneration Policy, confirming its alignment to the interests of its shareholders:
| Remuneration component | Features and Purposes | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed remuneration | ▪ It includes all the fixed annual remuneration (i.e. gross annual salary from employment, remuneration for directors, remuneration for special positions). ▪ It is defined in such a way as to be adequately balanced with respect to the variable component and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, also considering the characteristics of the industry in which the Company operates. |
||
| Group STI (Short-term variable incentive) |
▪ It is commensurate with the role held, as well as on the nature of the impact on the Company's overall results in the short-term. ▪ It is linked to the achievement of annual, quantitative and/or qualitative performance objectives that are objectively measurable and consistent with the objectives set out in the Company's strategic plan and sustainability policy. ▪ It is designed – in line with market practice - to be reduced or increased in proportion to the level of performance generated with respect to the objectives assigned. |
||
| LTI (Performance Shares Plan) |
▪ It is commensurate with the role held, as well as on the nature of the impact on the Company's overall results in the long-term. ▪ It is linked to the primary objective of creating relative value for shareholders, via the presence of relative TSR and consistent with the objectives of the strategic plan in terms of Adjusted Net Income and net Revenues. |
The objectives of the variable incentive systems themselves have been identified to support the Company's strategy, as illustrated below:

These are the main objectives. Group EBITDA, Net Revenues and Adjusted Net Income for the Group STI are objectives that represent measures capable of summarizing Recordati's many businesses and thus to fully assess the Group's results. Cumulated Adjusted Net Income budget and cumulated Net Revenues budget are among the targets of the mid-long-term plan and are considered able to reflect the Group's business results.

The natural linkage of the Performance Shares plan with the relative value of the Recordati's share price, compared with a panel of competitor companies, due to the presence in the medium- long-term plan of the relative TSR index, it determines a strong alignment between the interests of the Shareholders and those of the Top Management further strengthened by the total of 5-years time horizon (of which 2 refer to lockup period).

Among the objectives of the Group STI scheme, the Acquisition/Licensing objective, assigned to the Chief Executive Officer and certain executives, supports the Group's acquisition strategy, which has always been a key element for the growth of the Company in addition to driving pipeline development projects.

The implementation of a new style of work more oriented towards engagement, talent attraction and development, the adoption of production methods more oriented towards environmental sustainability, implementation of Industrial Operations' project to improve efficiency and the expansion of the pipeline to meet unmet patient needs through development and M&A activities are elements present in the remuneration policy to strengthen the link with the strategy regarding environmental, social and governance issues.
Recordati's Remuneration Policy is also consistent for all employees. In fact, the Company monitors the remuneration and working conditions of its employees annually. The definition of transparent remuneration policies and based on merit, the training activities designed to develop new skills, the offer of additional benefits for all employees are fundamental in this respect.
The Recordati Group's Sustainability Plan, defined in line with the double materiality analysis carried out, focuses on five priority areas: patient care, people care, environmental protection, responsible sourcing, and ethics and integrity. It is a fundamental tool for sharing the journey with stakeholders and represents the expression of the Group's ambitions and what it wants to commit itself to contributing to sustainable and responsible development. In a logic of continuous improvement, the Plan provides for periodic monitoring and updating. To this end, in 2024 Recordati worked on updating the targets included in the Plan.

More information on Recordati's Sustainability Plan is available in the 2024 annual report published on the Company's website.
Recordati's Remuneration Policy is closely linked to its Sustainability Plan. Among the objectives of the CEO's Group STI system, there are the main social and environmental objectives of the Sustainability Plan related to patient care, people care, environmental protection (including climate change), ethics & integrity and responsible sourcing. In addition, social and environmental objectives (including climate change), linked to the implementation of the Plan itself, are also attributed to other Managers of the Group, among the objectives of the Group STI system.
The Company annually reviews working conditions and remuneration to ensure a consistent policy across Headquarters and Subsidiaries, aligned with the Sustainability Policy principles. Key Human Resources commitments include initiatives in:
Further details are available in the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement on the Company's website.
The Remuneration Policy is guided by the following principles:
The remuneration policy and compensation for Directors were set for the mandate 2025-2027, while considering the Directors role complexity and relevant market data based on the company's selected peer groups. This policy is subject to the approval of the General annual Shareholders' Meeting of 2025.
Key points include:
This section highlights the main features of the remuneration policy for the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Recordati's Board includes Executive and Non-Executive Directors. Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed annual remuneration, in line with Article 5 of the Corporate Governance Code, which discourages performance-based pay. For the 2022-2024 term of office, this remuneration was determined by the Shareholders' Meeting of 29thApril 2022 on the basis of the proposal made by the controlling shareholder and was equal to €60,000 (plus the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as well as third party liability insurance coverage). This decision will remain in force until the approval of the financial statements as of 31st December 2024 by the Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 29 th April 2025.
The Shareholders' Meeting of 29th April 2025 will determine the remuneration of Directors of the newly appointed Board of Directors for the 2025-2027 term of office.
The analysis conducted on remuneration, relative to the peer groups, has revealed a less competitive compensation, impacting the Group's ability to attract and retain notable profiles.
The proposal of updated annual fee for the role as Director as approved by the Board of Directors on 18th March 2025, based on the benchmarking analysis, the proposal positions Recordati at the median level compared to the FTSE MIB industrial companies within the selected peer groups (please see section 3.6.1. above) is as follows:
| Remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code |
€ 65,000 |
|---|---|
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as well as third party liability insurance coverage.
The Board established two independent Director committees: Remuneration and Nominations, and Risk, Control and CSR.
For the 2022-2024 term of office, the annual remuneration of the Directors for participation in the Board Committees was determined by the Board of Directors on May 10th, 2022, following the consultation of the Board of Statutory Auditors and is made up as follows: €32,500 as additional remuneration to the Chair of the Risk, Control and CSR Committee, and €20,000 as additional remuneration for each of the other two members of such Committee; €25,000 as additional remuneration for the Chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and €10,000 as additional remuneration for each of the other two members of the Committee.
This decision will remain in force until the newly appointed Board of Directors for the 2025-2027 term of office will determine the new committees' set up and the relevant remuneration.
Subject to the confirmation of such set up by the new Board of Directors to be appointed by the 2025 AGM, the current Board proposal re committee participation remuneration for the 2025-2027 term, aligning Recordati's remuneration policy to the median level, of the company's selected peer groups (please see section 3.6.1.) was set on March 18th , 2025, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors, as follows:
| Remuneration and Nominations Committee | Risk, Control and CSR Committee | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chair | € 30,000 | Chair | € 35,000 | |
| Member | € 20,000 | Member | € 25,000 |
The annual remuneration of the Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors consists of only the fixed component, commensurate with the commitment required of each of them. The remuneration of the current Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed at the Annual General Meeting of 21st April 2023 and in office until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2025 Financial Statements, was determined by the same Annual General Meeting, following a recommendation by the Board of Directors, supported by the analysis made by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, based on the benchmarking analysis conducted by Willis Towers Watson on the remuneration practices in industrial and services companies belonging to FTSE MIB Italia, and is equal to:
| Board of Statutory Auditors | ||
|---|---|---|
| Chair | € 70,000 | |
| Statutory Auditor | € 50,000 |
The Chair of the Board receives a fixed annual remuneration in addition to the Director's fee.
For the 2022-2024 term of office, the annual remuneration of the Chair of the Board of Directors was determined by the Board of Directors on May 10th, 2022, following the consultation of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as follows: €240,000 (in addition to the €60,000 as Director's fees determined by the AGM).
This decision will remain in force until the newly appointed Board of Directors for the 2025-2027 term of office will determine the new remuneration for the new Chair.
For the 2025-2027 term, the current Board proposal for the Chair's remuneration was approved on March 18, 2025 for an unchanged amount, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors:
| 6 Remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1 |
€ 65,000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 3 | € 240,000 | |
| Total Remuneration | € 305,000 |
The CEO and CFO's remuneration consists of fixed, short-term variable (Group STI incentive Plan), and long-term variable components.
In case the Board of Directors newly appointed by the 2025 AGM includes Executive Directors not entrusted with individual delegation of powers in Recordati, but identified as executive in accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code as they hold managerial positions (which also concern the Company) in the parent companies and/or companies of the CVC Group, no proposal of special remuneration is envisaged by the present Remuneration Policy in line with the past.
The illustrated compensation peer group for the Chairman and Board members was adopted last year, consisting of FTSE MIB Italy companies, excluding financial companies, those headquartered outside Italy, and other companies not comparable in size to Recordati. This peer group, updated to include 2024 changes, served as a reference for proposing the remuneration of Board members and the Chair in 2025-2027 mandate.

6 The above-mentioned updated remuneration proposal, as approved by the Board of Directors on 18 March 2025, is subject to the decision by the Shareholders during the 2025 Annual Shareholders' Meeting.
The panel, primarily composed of European pharmaceutical companies comparable to Recordati in terms of revenues, number of employees and market capitalization including 2 Italian medical tech companies to maintain a link with the Italian market, aims to enhance the relevancy of the CEO pay analyses. This provides a more accurate understanding of Recordati's placement in the current business environment and better overlap with Recordati's TSR peer group and stakeholder reference groups.

The fixed component of the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is commensurate with the duties and responsibilities assigned. Moreover, in line with the Corporate Governance Code, this component is determined in such a way as to be adequately balanced with respect to the variable component and consistent with the company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, also considering the characteristics of the industry in which the Company operates and is listed. However, the variable component is expected to represent a significant part of the total remuneration.
The current fixed remuneration of the CEO is composed out of base salary of €640,000, non-compete compensation of € 300,000 and Director's fee of € 60,000.
As already mentioned, the proposal of the Board of Directors to the Shareholders in respect to the Directors' fees for the new mandate 2025-2027 is €65,000.
Without prejudice to such proposal re the Directors' fees, no proposal of increase of the CEO's fix remuneration was formulated by the Board of Directors for 2025, as based on the benchmarking analysis his fixed remuneration is well aligned with the median of reference group.
Below are the elements that will make up the fixed remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer for 2025, subject to Shareholders' approval:
| Chief Executive Officer | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1 | € 65,000 | |||
| 7 Remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 3 |
€ 940,000 | |||
| Total Remuneration | € 1,005,000 |
The short-term variable component of the remuneration package for the Chief Executive Officer is linked to an incentive scheme by objectives (Group STI). On the basis of this scheme, a bonus is paid in cash on the achievement of the annual results defined by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, and measured according to pre-established management parameters and weights.
Specifically, the Group STI system provides for the assignment to each beneficiary of economic-financial objectives (Group EBITDA, Group Net Revenues and Group Adjusted Net Income) and individual strategic objectives. There is also a circuit breaker identified in the Group's EBITDA indicator, which if not achieved will result in the zeroing of the entire bonus.
Through the inclusion of an important Group objective such as the consolidated EBITDA, Recordati's Group STI system enables to reward the performance in a context of operating results such as to allow the payment of bonuses, in line therefore with the principle of aligning the interests of Management and Shareholders and with a view to pursuing the Company's long-term interests in line with Strategical Plan.
7The amount includes the non-compete agreement recognized by the Company to the Chief Executive Officer.
On 18th March 2025, the Board of Directors – after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors - formulated a proposal of increase of the CEO STI component from 80% to 90% of his base remuneration, based on the benchmarking analysis in order to align to the median of the identified peer group.
Here are two tables outlining the CEO's objectives for the Group STI plan, subject to the approval of this Remuneration Policy by the 2025 AGM:
Circuit breaker: Payout is calculated according to the tables below only if Group EBITDA => 95% of budget.

The Company reserves the right not to provide the annual value of the parameters as it considers this information to be sensitive. More detailed information regarding the level of achievement of the objectives will be communicated at the end of the performance period.
Actual STI payouts are confirmed when the Board approves financial statements showing at least 95% of the Group EBITDA target and all according to the Group STI incentive plan.
Incentives vary with target achievement. Charts below illustrate the CEO's target opportunities based on financial

objectives (EBITDA, Group Net Revenues, and Group Adjusted Net Income).
For the Chief Executive Officer, the remaining 40% of the Group STI is calculated on the basis of the Acquisition/Licensing objective, delivering on pipeline advancement and the improvements in Organizational set up as well as the completion of specific ESG initiatives for 2025, whose incentive curve is illustrated in the following chart:

In the event of failure to achieve 95% of the Group EBITDA objective, nothing is due. In the event of over-
performance, it is not possible to obtain a STI payout higher than the maximum one set, which for the Chief Executive Officer is equal to 135% of his fixed remuneration (or 150% of his target opportunity).
The following table summarizes the potential STI pay-outs for the Chief Executive Officer according to the different performance levels:
| Minimum | Target | Maximum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CEO | €452,250 | €904,500 | €1,356,750 |
The short-term variable component to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer is equal to € 1,356,750 gross per year if the maximum overall performance is achieved.
In setting the Group STI objectives of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors may, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee8 , assess the achievement of such objectives net of significant extraordinary items, where appropriate, on an equitable basis.
At present, there is no need to defer the payment of this bonus with respect to the time when the right to receive it is acquired, because it is part of a scheme that is already significantly challenging and which, with a view to continuity, favours the setting of the same objectives for each financial year; moreover, the circuit breaker of the scheme and its main objective, represented by the Group EBITDA, is a target that all the above persons contribute to achieving, without the individual person being able to influence this achievement exclusively. Finally, it should be noted that the deferral of part of the variable remuneration is in any case ensured by the long-term incentive scheme based on the assignment of Performance Share, as described below, further strengthened by the lockup mechanism bundle in the same plan for the CEO and other Key Management Personnel.
Without prejudice to the right to compensation for any further damages, the Company reserves the right, within 5 years from the payment and regardless of whether the relationship is still ongoing or terminated, to request the Chief Executive Officer to refund the bonus already paid (the so-called 'claw back'), if one of the following cases occurs:
A significant portion of the CEO's variable remuneration is provided through a long-term compensation vehicle, focusing on sustainable value creation for shareholders and stakeholders through performance shares. This aligns management's interests with shareholders by linking it to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) growth relative to comparable companies and strategic plan targets.
The Shareholders' Meeting on April 21, 2023, approved the 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan. This plan grants beneficiaries the right to receive a certain number of Company shares for free after a vesting period, contingent on meeting performance objectives.
Rights are granted annually in three cycles starting in 2023, 2024, and 2025, based on the importance of each role. Depending on performance, the maximum achievable shares can be 175% of the rights granted. The plan includes the CEO, CFO9 and other Key Management Personnel as beneficiaries.

As a member of the Key Management Personnel, the CFO participates in the same long-term incentive plan as the CEO. Under the 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan, the CFO will receive shares according to the following payout structure. No proposal of increase of the target opportunity in % of fixed rem is formulated for 2025, based on the benchmarking analysis.
| Threshold | Target | Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payout opportunity in % of target LTI | 50% | 100% | 175% |

Key Management Personnel are those managers who have the power and responsibility, directly or indirectly, for planning, management and control of the Company's activities. In addition to the CEO and CFO disclosed separately above, at the date of this Report, the following individuals are qualified by the Board of Directors Key Management Personnel:
Key Management Personnel include managers closely connected to the core business with broader accountability for the Group's activities.
Their Remuneration Policy links part of their pay to achieving specific, measurable performance objectives—both financial and non-financial—aligned with long-term strategic goals to promote sustainable success, per the Corporate Governance Code.
In Italy, Key Management Personnel employment is governed by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL) for goods and services companies. For those in foreign subsidiaries, local regulations and relevant collective bargaining agreements apply. In Italy, executive-level benefits are also applicable.
The Remuneration Policy proposal for the key managers personnel for 2025 includes a slight increase of the fixed remuneration (around 10% vs previous year) and no changes to the STI and LTI payout opportunities, based on the benchmarking analysis (broadly in line with the median of the reference peers).
The fixed component of the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel, the Gross Annual Remuneration (Retribuzione Annua Lorda - RAL), i.e. the contractually guaranteed annual remuneration, is monitored for all the top positions by the industry remuneration surveys and its value is positioned, in order to meet adequate retention and remuneration criteria, at a competitive level with respect to the market.
Changes over time in the fixed component of remuneration are implemented on the basis of growth rules that take into account the role, the level of performance over time and the pay gap with respect to the remuneration levels of the reference market.
Recordati's Key Management Personnel are beneficiaries of the same short-term incentive scheme (Group STI) assigned to the Chief Executive Officer. Therefore, what has been described above is intended to be fully referred to herein, with the exception of the performance objectives assigned and the bonus opportunities of the beneficiaries.

The maximum STI opportunity under the plan is 90% of annual fixed salary. In the event of over-performance, it is not possible to achieve a bonus higher than the maximum set.
A component of the variable remuneration of Recordati's Key Management Personnel is oriented towards a longterm horizon in order to strengthen the interests of sustainable creation of value for Shareholders and Stakeholders.
Under the 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan, Recordati's Key Management Personnel will be awarded shares with a value at grant based on 90% annual base salary. Depending on the performance conditions, the maximum number of achievable shares may be 175% of the rights granted.

Recordati's Remuneration Policy includes bonuses for significant business development achievements, such as M&A or licensing transactions, due to their strategic importance for growth in Primary & Specialty Care and Rare Diseases. These transactions help expand the product portfolio and geographical reach, ensuring long-term sustainability.
The Group STI scheme sets financial targets excluding M&A/licensing of existing products, necessitating separate bonuses for strategic transactions. The CEO is excluded from Transaction and Integration Bonuses, as such activities are part of his short-term incentive scheme.
Key Management Personnel may receive:
These bonuses can also be awarded to other significant contributors not classified as Key Management Personnel.
Sign-on bonuses may be offered to new hires in exceptional cases to attract senior talent critical for business.
Additionally, a one-off retention bonus may be provided to encourage retention, with both bonuses not exceeding the maximum variable component.
The Remuneration Policy does not provide for particular non-monetary benefits other than those that can be defined as standard for top positions (e.g. company car, the supplementary insurance to that provided for in the national employment contract and the D&O policy and relocation benefits such as housing and schooling).
The Remuneration Policy does not include severance indemnities for non-executive Directors.
For other Key Management Personnel (including CFO) and executive Directors (excluding those qualified as such by the Board pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code who are not granted with operational powers ), severance agreements may be made, capped at 24 months of fixed and average short-term variable pay from the last 36 months, if the Company terminates employment for reasons other than just cause. This aligns with Italian market practices and is also applicable based on the local collective agreement for "Dirigenti" in Italy.
In cases of early termination for reasons other than just cause, Key Management Personnel receive statutory indemnities and any additional equitable compensation as per local practices.
Upon termination of an executive Director, the Company will disclose details of any indemnities or benefits to the market.
No agreement currently exists for non-monetary benefits or special consultancy contracts post-termination, though they may be considered case-by-case.
Non-compete remuneration agreements, capped at one year's fixed compensation, may be established for critical roles to secure long-term profitability.
For the CEO, the sum of severance and non-compete arrangements is capped at 24 months of fixed and average short-term variable pay based on the last 36 months.
For details on the impact of termination on existing LTI plans, refer to the Information Documents in the Governance section of the Company's website: Recordati Remuneration
No further coverage other than those required by law or by collective bargaining agreement is entered into by the Company, with the exception of supplementary insurance to the Italian Supplementary Health Care Fund (F.A.S.I.) for 'Executives of Companies Producing Goods and Services' (so-called Industrial Companies) to cover medical expenses (or similar forms of insurance for employees of foreign subsidiaries) and a D&O policy, as well as an insurance policy for the Chief Executive Officer to cover life risk, health risk (including family members), disability risk and accident risk, again for the Chief Executive Officer, the supplementary pension plan that continued seamlessly.

The fair value of the options and rights relating to 2024 assigned to the Chief Executive Officer is € 1,155,224.
