Letter of the Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

Dear Shareholders,

As Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present this 2024 Remuneration Policy and Report, approved by the Company's Board of Directors on March 14, 2025. This Report, in compliance with current regulations and in line with market best practices, represents an important opportunity to communicate openly and transparently with our Shareholders and other stakeholders regarding the Company's remuneration system for the current year.

At the beginning of 2025, GHC's Appointments and Remuneration Committee continued the objective of aligning the remuneration policy with investor expectations, while fully complying with regulatory provisions and working to maintain the maturity of the Company's remuneration practices, in line with market trends.

Firstly, the Committee, following the changes to the CEO's remuneration package in recent years, further assessed its positioning based on a peer group of well-established companies. This confirmed the positive opinion with respect to the individual components and the overall package, including in terms of framework, with a specific focus on the short term, which is substantially in line with last year.

In addition, given the Group's efforts to pursue its Sustainability Strategy, also in view of the CSRD regulation, ESG targets – with a particular emphasis on the social component – were incorporated into the incentive systems for the CEO and other key figures within the Group, as identified by the Board of Directors, with a focus on all three ESG pillars, based on the findings of the double materiality analysis.

Also on behalf of the other members of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, I renew our commitment for 2025. Our goal is to ensure that the proposed remuneration initiatives contribute to the success of the Group's strategic programmes and objectives, garnering positive feedback from Shareholders and other stakeholders.

We trust you will appreciate our efforts and hope you find the information provided herein both useful and comprehensive. We invite you to express your binding vote on the proposed 2025 Remuneration Policy for Directors and Statutory Auditors, in addition to an advisory vote on the Report on Remuneration Paid in 2024.

Federico Ferro-Luzzi

(Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee)

Introduction

The Report provides a summary of the Company's policy on the remuneration of the Board of Directors in 2025 and, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2402 of the Civil Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in addition to the remuneration paid for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Specifically, the document is divided into two sections:

  • Section I 2025 Remuneration Policy illustrates the Policy proposed for 2025 by the Company for the remuneration of Directors and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, specifying the purposes pursued, the bodies and persons involved, and the procedures used for its adoption and execution;
  • Section II Report on Remuneration Paid in 2024 illustrates the remuneration paid to individual Directors and Statutory Auditors in 2024.

This Report was prepared pursuant to Article 123-ter of the CFA, Article 84-quater and Annex 3A, Schedule 7-bis of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, and in accordance with Article 5 of the Corporate Governance Code.

On March 14, 2025, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors of GHC accepted this Report, which will be put to a vote at the Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for April 29, 2024. Specifically, the Shareholders' Meeting will vote on:

  • Section I, namely the "2025 Remuneration Policy", with a binding vote;
  • while on Section II, namely the "Report on Remuneration Paid in 2024", its vote is advisory.

The text of this Report is made available to the public at the Company's registered office and in the "Governance/Shareholders' Meeting" and "Governance/Remuneration" sections of the Company's website, www.garofalohealthcare.com, by the 21st day before the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements for 2024, in accordance with applicable law.

Link between strategy and remuneration policies

The GHC Group is committed to adopting a "buy&build" strategy, seeking to achieve growth through acquisitions and leveraging potential opportunities arising from anticipated market consolidation trends. This strategy is reflected in the performance indicators included in the Incentive Plans for GHC's CEO.

Link between strategy and remuneration policies

"People" strategy and ESG commitment within remuneration policies

In compliance with the relevant legislation and the founding principles of its Code of Ethics, GHC guarantees all its employees the same work opportunities and fair treatment in terms of regulations and remuneration. GHC is committed to providing an inclusive working environment, free from discrimination of any kind, in which different personal and cultural characteristics and orientations are considered an asset. The Company therefore not only undertakes to respect and apply the regulatory framework, but also develops company policies, including the "Diversity and Inclusion Policy" adopted on October 28, 2021, which seeks to guarantee equal opportunities for all the different types of workers, with the intention of discouraging the emergence of possible prejudice, harassment and discrimination of any kind, in full respect of human rights.

This environment ensures that the cornerstone of the Policy - and more generally of the management of its own people - is the enhancement of merit and of distinctive and critical professional skills. GHC adopts employee welfare initiatives such as a supplementary pension and medical fund.

To improve monitoring of the link between working conditions and the remuneration policy, since 2023, GHC has also monitored the pay ratio, i.e. the ratio between the CEO's total remuneration (taking into account the stock component) and the average cost of each Group employee, equal to approximately 47, a small decrease on the previous year.

In addition, in 2025, the short and long-term Incentive Plan will continue to comprise ESG performance indicators, reflecting the Group's long-term commitment. Specifically, the performance targets included in the incentive plans are formulated in such a way as to align the remuneration policies with the

principles of transparency and sustainability, in accordance with the standards set forth in Directive (EU) 2022/2464 (CSRD).

Shareholder voting and engagement

The GHC Group is committed to maintaining constant and constructive communication with its Shareholders to align its Remuneration Policy with stakeholder expectations. This objective entails monitoring and carefully evaluating the remuneration guidelines provided by the main Proxy Advisors representing GHC investors on an ongoing basis.

The Shareholders' Meeting held on April 29, 2024, expressed a favourable opinion on "Section I" of the "2023 Remuneration Policy and Report". The graph shows the voting results, also providing information on the Shareholders' Meetings voting results in 2022 and 2023 for comparison purposes.

The highly positive outcome of the 2024 Shareholders' Meeting vote prompted fruitful engagement with investors and Proxy Advisors. The goal was to identify areas for improvement to be addressed when updating the Remuneration Policy. This activity was promoted by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and carried out by the Head of Investor Relations and Chief Sustainability Officer, with the support of the consulting firm Deloitte Consulting, obtaining shareholder satisfaction with the proposed initiatives.

On April 29, 2024, the Shareholders' Meeting expressed a favourable opinion on Section II of the 2023 Remuneration Policy and Report. The graph shows the voting results, also providing information on the Shareholders' Meetings voting results in 2022 and 2023 for comparison purposes. The very positive outcome in the vote of the 2024 Shareholders' Meeting was confirmed by investors.

Risk mitigation factors

The Remuneration Policy aims to ensure the full alignment of Management's risk profile with shareholders through defined tools and safeguards to mitigate Management's risk-taking and ensure sustainable value creation in the medium and long term. The following table outlines the main initiatives implemented for risk mitigation purposes.

Risk mitigation factors Short-Term Incentive Long-Term Incentive
Use of different performance targets consistent with
business strategy
Use of incentive curves for each target with
predefined performance levels and linear
interpolation of results
Clauses for deferring or retaining acquired shares in
portfolio
Significant portion of total remuneration subject to
performance conditions over long-term period
Presence of a maximum cap for incentive systems
Presence of a share-based element in variable
remuneration
Use of malus and/or clawback clauses

Section I: 2025 Remuneration Policy

Content and purpose of the 2025 remuneration policy

The proposed Policy for 2025 described in this Report concerns members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors, and seeks to achieve the following objectives:

  • balance fixed and variable remuneration to create sustainable value for the Company;
  • link variable remuneration to the achievement of operating and financial targets aligned with value creation and the actual results achieved by the Company, with a focus on sustainability;
  • align the interests of management and the Company and Shareholders in the medium/long-term;
  • attract, motivate and retain personnel with the appropriate individual and professional skills to pursue and achieve the core business development objectives of the Company and the GHC Group.

The Remuneration Policy is therefore based on the following criteria:

  • a. the Directors' Policy provides for remuneration commensurate with the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the tasks assigned to them;
  • b. Non-Executive Directors receive fixed remuneration that is not linked to financial performance targets;
  • c. Executive Directors (not including the CEO) receive remuneration comprising (i) a fixed component, (ii) a potentially short-term variable component linked to the achievement of specific performance targets, which may also include non-financial criteria, pre-established and outlined in line with the Policy, and (ii) a potential medium-term variable component linked to performance targets over a period of three years;
  • d. the CEO's remuneration comprises (i) a fixed component, (i) a short-term variable component linked to performance targets, and (ii) a medium-/long-term component linked to performance targets over a period of at least three years;
  • e. the fixed remuneration component should ensure that the professional services provided by the CEO are fully recognised if the variable component is not paid out due to the assigned performance targets not being met;
  • f. the short and medium/long-term variable components are assigned to the Chief Executive Officer based on pre-established economic parameters. There is a maximum limit to payment of both the short and medium/long-term variable component, even if performance targets are exceeded;
  • g. the performance targets are pre-established, measurable, and linked to the purpose of creating value for Shareholders over a medium/long-term period; they are consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and are designed to promote its Sustainable Success, including non-financial parameters;
  • h. the payment of the medium-/long-term variable remuneration component under the Performance Share Plan is deferred for an appropriate period of time with respect to its accrual; the share-based remuneration plans for Executive Directors and other key figures identified by the Board of Directors incentivise the alignment of their interests with those of Shareholders over the medium/long term, providing that a portion of the plan shall have a total vesting period and retention period for the shares granted of at least five years;
  • i. the extent of that portion and the deferment duration are in line with the characteristics of company activity and related risk profiles;

  • j. malus and clawback clauses are provided in relation to the medium/long-term variable component of the Performance Share Plan; clawback clauses are provided in relation to the short-term variable component;
  • k. there are no provisions for indemnities in case of early termination or non-renewal of the management relationship; in addition, there are no agreements related to non-competition, allocation or retention of non-monetary benefits, nor are there consulting contracts stipulated for a period after the termination of the relationship;
  • l. the remuneration of the members of the control body is appropriate to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the importance of the role covered and the size and sector characteristics of the company and its situation.

1. Governance of the remuneration process

1.1. The remuneration process: bodies and parties involved

The Remuneration Policy is the result of a process involving the Board of Directors, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Shareholders' Meeting, the Chief Executive Officer, and the various corporate functions, with respect to their fields of responsibility.

1.2. Shareholders' Meeting

With reference to remuneration topics, the Shareholders' Meeting:

  • is responsible for approving the remuneration of Directors and Auditors, pursuant to Article 2364, paragraph 1(3) of the Civil Code;
  • expresses a binding vote on "Section I" of the Report and an advisory vote on "Section II" when approving the annual accounts;
  • is responsible for approving any remuneration plans based on shares or other financial instruments, in accordance with Article 114-bis of the CFA.

1.3. The Board of Directors

At the date of this Report's approval, the Board of Directors comprises 11 Directors:

With regard to remuneration topics, the Board of Directors:

  • determines the remuneration of Senior Directors, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors, and on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in line with the decisions made at the Shareholders' Meeting, which may determine an overall amount for the remuneration of all Directors;
  • prepares the Policy on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, through a transparent procedure;
  • approves the "Remuneration Policy and Report" to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for a vote and ensures its adoption;
  • ensures that the remuneration paid and accrued is consistent with the principles and criteria defined in the Policy, in light of the results achieved and other circumstances relevant to its implementation;
  • monitors the concrete application of the Policy, with support from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and verifies the effective achievement of the performance targets;
  • prepares, with the support of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, any remuneration plans based on shares or other financial instruments, to be submitted for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting through the disclosure document, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the CFA;
  • implements any remuneration plans based on shares or other financial instruments, with the assistance of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, by proxy of the Shareholders' Meeting.

As provided for in Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the CFA, the Company may temporarily deviate from the Policy in exceptional circumstances, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory constraints. Specifically, deviations are permitted where necessary to pursue the Group's long-term interests and Sustainable Success as a whole, or to ensure its ability to remain on the market. This included but is not limited to: (i) the occurrence, nationally or internationally, of extraordinary unforeseeable events concerning the Group or the sectors and/or markets in which it operates that significantly affect the Group's results; (ii) substantial changes in the scope of business activities such as corporate transactions, mergers, or divestitures, etc. As a result, upon the advice of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and subject to the activation of the RPT Procedure, the Board of Directors may temporarily deviate from the Remuneration Policy with reference to the following remuneration policy components:

  • fixed remuneration;
  • short-term variable remuneration; and
  • medium/long-term variable remuneration.

1.4. The Appointments and Remuneration Committee

1.4.1. Composition and functioning of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

At the Report date, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2024, comprises three Directors, all of whom are non-executive and independent, in line with the Corporate Governance Code: Federico Ferro-Luzzi (Chairperson), Franca Brusco, Alberto Oliveti.

Based on their respective CVs and professional experience, this configuration guarantees adequate knowledge and experience in financial matters and remuneration policies.

The composition, powers, and operating procedures of the Committee are governed by the Regulation, approved by the Board of Directors on May 15, 2024.

Generally speaking, the Committee's meetings are conducted under the guidance of the Chairperson, Federico Ferro-Luzzi, are duly minuted, and the Committee Chairperson is required to report to the Board of Directors at the subsequent meeting on the activities carried out.

The Committee meets as often as is required to perform its duties and, in any case, whenever the Committee Chairperson deems it appropriate or receives a request from the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Company CEO, or any of its members, to discuss a specific topic deemed particularly relevant to them.

The Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors or another Statutory Auditor designated by him/her attends the meetings. Other members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may attend, and, if previously invited by the Committee, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the CEO, other Directors, and, after informing the CEO, representatives of other company departments or functions may participate to provide information and expertise on specific Agenda items.

Directors do not participate in Committee meetings in which proposals on their remuneration are under consideration.

1.4.2. Functions of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

Regarding the remuneration of Directors and Auditors, the Committee carries out the following activities:

a. assists the Board of Directors in developing the Policy;

  • b. presents proposals or expresses opinions to the Board of Directors on the remuneration of the Executive Directors and Directors who hold specific offices, in addition to establishing the performance targets related to the variable component of this remuneration;
  • c. monitors the concrete application of the remuneration policy, verifying, in particular, the effective achievement of the performance targets;
  • d. periodically assesses the adequacy and overall consistency of the policy adopted for the remuneration of Directors and other key figures;
  • e. reports on the activities undertaken in the year to the Shareholders' Meeting by means of this Report.

If it deems it necessary or appropriate for the performance of its duties, the Committee may access all necessary information and departments and utilise - at the Company's expense and within the limits of the annual budget - outside consultants and experts on remuneration policies, verifying in advance that their independence of judgement is not affected.

1.4.3. Appointments and Remuneration Committee activity cycle

For details on the attendance of Appointments and Remuneration Committee members at meetings, reference should be made to Table 3 annexed to the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report published on the Company website www.garofalohealthcare.com,, "Governance/Shareholders' Meeting" section.

1.5. The Board of Statutory Auditors

The Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors - or, in the event of his/her absence or impediment, another Statutory Auditor designated by him/her - participates as a guest in the work of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. In any case, all Auditors are entitled to participate in these proceedings.

Regarding remuneration, the Board of Statutory Auditors expresses an opinion upon the remuneration proposals of the Senior Directors, in accordance with Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, verifying the consistency of such with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company.

1.6. Other parties involved and independent experts

HR duties, currently entrusted to the Chief Financial Officer, involve overseeing the management and enhancement of human resources and all processes related to the management of the Company's general services, in addition to supporting the Group's facilities in managing senior managers within Group companies. In addition, the CFO provides internal technical support to the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, for which he/she prepares preparatory materials for the Committee's activities.

The Administration and Accounts, Finance, Planning, and Control departments help to identify and finalise the economic and financial targets underpinning short and medium/long-term incentive systems.

In preparing this Report, GHC decided to enlist the support of the specialised consulting firm Deloitte Consulting, for technical aspects related to the formulation of incentive plans.

1.7. Market practices and changes to the policy

For the purpose of conducting periodic market analysis for the Chief Executive Officer, a peer group sample was confirmed for the third consecutive year, composed of 13 companies listed on the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange with comparable market capitalisation and share concentration to GHC. Specifically, these companies are: Ascopiave, Avio, Biesse, Cementir, D'Amico International Shipping, Datalogic, Esprinet, LUVE, Maire Tecnimont, Mondadori, Orsero, Pharmanutra, and Safilo.

The 2025 Remuneration Policy includes an update of the ESG targets in the incentive plans for top management. This update is related, among other things, to the entry into force of the CSRD Directive.

2. The Company's remuneration policy

2.1. Elements of the 2024 Remuneration Policy

GHC's Remuneration Policy comprises:

  • a fixed component; and, in some instances
  • an (annual) short-term variable component;
  • a medium/long-term variable component;
  • a non-monetary component (benefits).

The individual remuneration elements are described in detail below, based on the specific circumstances of the Policy's beneficiaries.

2.2. Beneficiaries of the Remuneration Policy

This Report describes the Remuneration Policy for the following categories of beneficiaries:

  • members of the Board of Directors, and specifically:
    • the Chairperson of the Board of Directors;
    • Non-Executive Directors and Independent Directors;
    • The Chief Executive Officer:
    • other Executive Directors.
  • members of the Board Of Statutory Auditors.

2.3. Remuneration policy for members of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors was renewed by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 29, 2024, which also approved its annual total remuneration. The fixed remuneration component for members of the Board of Directors amounts to Euro 220,000 gross per annum, net of remuneration to be allocated to Senior Directors, for the entire term of office.

The fixed remuneration for each Director (not including Independent Directors) may comprise fees for positions held in subsidiaries, in addition to contributions from GHC, and shall not exceed a total of Euro 500,000.

In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, no Director participates in Appointments and Remuneration Committee meetings which discuss the proposals to be made to the Board of Directors in reference to his/her own remuneration.

2.4. Remuneration policy for Non-Executive Directors

2.4.1. Chairperson of the Board of Directors

The remuneration of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors comprises only the fixed component, in line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, and is therefore not linked to the Company's financial results.

The remuneration of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors reflects the decisions made by the Company's Board of Directors, taking into account (i) the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the Board of Directors, and (ii) the role of Chairperson.

In more detail, the Board of Directors meeting held after the appointment by the Shareholders' Meeting resolved (i) to distribute the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the 2024- 2026 period among the Board members, providing the Chairperson with remuneration linked to his/her role as a Director of the Issuer; and (ii) granting an additional remuneration of Euro 45,000 gross per annum to the Chairperson in accordance with Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, in recognition

of his/her role as Chairperson. In total, therefore, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors was awarded a fixed gross annual remuneration of Euro 65,000.

No post-employment benefits are provided for the Chairperson of the Board in the event that his/her relationship with GHC is terminated. Post-employment benefits are provided in the event of termination of the role of Director in a subsidiary, equal to 10% of the annual fixed remuneration received from that subsidiary company.

A D&O (Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance) policy is provided for the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.

2.4.2. Non-Executive Directors and Independent Directors

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors (excluding the Chairperson) and Independent Directors is established according to the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, on a fixed basis, and is not linked to the Company's financial results or specific targets. Instead, it is commensurate with the level of commitment required, including potential involvement in internal Board committees.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors (excluding the Chairperson) Directors reflects the decisions made by the Company's Board of Directors, taking into account (i) the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the Board of Directors, and (ii) the potential involvement in internal Board committees.

In more detail, the Board of Directors meeting held after the appointment by the Shareholders' Meeting resolved (i) to distribute the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the 2024- 2026 period among the Board members, providing Non-Executive Directors with remuneration linked to their role as Directors of the Issuer; and (ii) to grant additional fixed remuneration to Non-Executive Directors who serve on internal Board committees, in accordance with Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, to adequately compensate them for the additional activities and commitments undertaken for the benefit of the Company, as outlined in the following table:

Appointments and Remuneration Committee Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee

Chairperson Euro 14,000 Chairperson Euro 20,000
Member Euro 10,000 Member Euro 15,500

There are no provisions for Non-Executive Directors (other than the Chairperson) or Independent Directors in the event of the termination of their office or employment.

A D&O (Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance) policy is provided for all Directors.

2.5. Remuneration policy for Executive Directors

2.5.1. Chief Executive Officer

In consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors determines the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and also consults the Board of Statutory Auditors regarding remuneration linked to the CEO's specific responsibilities.

2.5.1.1. Fixed component

A fixed component, which must sufficiently remunerate the Chief Executive Officer in the event that the variable component is not paid because the performance targets are not met.

The fixed gross component of the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration reflects the decisions made by the Company's Board of Directors, taking into account (i) the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the Board of Directors and (ii) the specific powers assigned within the Issuer.

In more detail, the Board of Directors meeting held after the appointment by the Shareholders' Meeting resolved, based on benchmark analysis and shareholder observations, (i) to distribute the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the 2024-2026 period among the Board members, with the Chief Executive Officer receiving remuneration linked to his/her role as a Director of the Issuer; (ii) to grant additional remuneration of Euro 927,000 gross per annum to the Chief Executive Officer, in recognition of his/her specific role, in accordance with Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code. In total, therefore, the Chief Executive Officer was awarded a fixed gross annual remuneration of Euro 947,000.

2.5.1.2. Annual variable component

The Chief Executive Officer participates in the MBO scheme, which is linked to the achievement of a profitability target by December 31, 2025. This in turn activates the incentive system ("threshold") and determines the available bonus pool, ranging from 50% to 125% of the achievable value if the threshold is fully met.

This MBO comprises remuneration determined with reference to a multiplier linked to minimum, target, and maximum performance scores, set at 30%, 60%, and 75% of the fixed remuneration, respectively, depending on GHC's performance results during the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

The Board of Directors decided on the structure of the 2025 incentive plan on March 7, 2025, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and setting the plan's threshold as a minimum level of GHC's consolidated adjusted operating EBITDA.

The MBO targets for 2025 were selected to align with strategic guidelines and the business model. The structure and weighting of these targets are outlined in the following table.

Performance driver Description Weighting %
Operating margin Consolidated pro-forma adjusted
operating EBITDA margin
25%
Creation of value for the Group Equity Value 25%

Corporate M&A transactions Enterprise Value of the M&A
transaction maintaining a
consolidated NFP/EBITDA ratio below
a specific threshold value
30%
ESG targets - Assessment of "acute climate risks"
- Assessment HR processes in
recruiting and retention
- Digital evolution initiatives
20%

Financial targets for the short-term variable incentive plan are set in line with the Group's annual budget plan. The remaining targets are identified with a view to including as many Group Companies as possible.

The Policy reaffirms GHC's focus on ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) targets, which are proposed and shared by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee in coordination with the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee, aligning ESG priorities with the Group's business, with the aim of driving the objectives throughout the Group companies. With a view to pursuing a more mature remuneration strategy, minimum, target, and maximum performance values are assigned to the ESG indicators, as follows:

Target Minimum Target Maximum
Assessment of acute climatic risks
Assessment of a panel of facilities identified as
potentially high-risk
Assessment in 4/8
facilities
Assessment in 6/8
facilities
Assessment in 8/8

HR Processes Assessment

Initiatives related to identified ESG targets contribute an equal weight to the achievement of 20% of the ESG area.

The evaluation of the targets outlined above entitles the beneficiary to between 75% and 125% of the achievable value based on the set targets, depending on the level of achievement reported at the end of the year. For more information, the payout scale linked to performance targets included in the MBO plan – to be applied to the bonus pool, determined by reaching the threshold – is provided below:

Chief Executive Officer's MBO - Payout Scale

If a "good leaver" terminates his/her office during the year, the incentive will accrue on a pro-rata basis, contingent upon the meeting of performance targets. The plan will therefore not be expedited.

The Company may demand the return of the bonus granted (clawback) under the short-term incentive plan, if this has been awarded based on information that later proves to be inaccurate or falsified, or on conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory, or statutory provisions, the Code of Ethics, or applicable company regulations resulting in a significant loss for any Group company, or fraudulent or grossly negligent behaviour detrimental to a Group company.

2.5.1.3. Medium/long-term variable component

The Chief Executive Officer will participate in the medium/long-term variable incentive plan known as the "2024-2026 Performance Share Plan". In the second cycle, the plan is linked to financial performance metrics (2025-2027 weighted average pro-forma adjusted operating EBITDA margin), stock performance (total shareholder return vs TSR FTSE Italia STAR), and sustainability (adoption of a succession strategy).

The Performance Share Plan provides for the granting of rights to purchase shares upon the achievement of specific targets (the "Rights"). This Plan seeks to:

  • align the remuneration of beneficiaries with Shareholders' interests, following the Corporate Governance Code guidelines;
  • retain key human resources vital to the Group;
  • guide management towards decisions that pursue the creation of value for the Group over the medium to long term.

The Performance Share Plan is divided – following best market practices – into three three-year cycles, with a deferral of 30% of the assigned shares for 24 months.

The Board of Directors may identify ESG performance targets and related targets specific to each cycle consistent with strategic directions, while setting target levels for other targets at the launch of each cycle. Each cycle offers the Chief Executive Officer the opportunity to earn a percentage of Rights equivalent to 37.5%, 50%, or 62.5% of his/her fixed remuneration, upon achieving minimum, target, or maximum performance levels, respectively.

In the second cycle of the Performance Share Plan (i.e. 2025-2027 period), the vesting of Rights depends on whether the threshold is reached, which is represented by the minimum weighted average pro-forma adjusted operating EBITDA margin for 2025-2027. This guarantees the Plan's sustainability at Group level,

with failure resulting in the loss of the associated Rights. If the threshold is met, the following performance targets assigned to the Chief Executive Officer and the other beneficiaries – set by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee – will be evaluated:

Performance driver Description Weighting %
Financial/economic performance Weighted average pro-forma adjusted
operating EBITDA margin for 2025-2027
55%
Creation of value for shareholders Relative TSR vs FTSE Italia STAR Index 25%
ESG performance Definition and adoption by each structure of
a succession strategy and completion of the
initiatives in the action plan
20%

Specifically:

  • with reference to the "Weighted average pro-forma adjusted operating EBITDA margin for 2025- 2027", the vesting of Rights is linked to the achievement of minimum, target, and maximum values set by the Board of Directors, based on benchmark analysis conducted on comparable companies in the healthcare sector;
  • with reference to the "Relative Total Shareholder Return", the vesting of Rights is linked to the target listed in the following table:
GHC Group TSR vs FTSE Italia STAR Shares vesting
10% and above 125% of target shares allocated
5% to 10% 100% of target shares allocated
0% to 5% 75% of target shares allocated
Underperforming the TSR of the FTSE Italia STAR No shares vest

If the Group's TSR value is negative, even if it is in line with or exceeds the FTSE Italia STAR index TSR by more than 10%, the associated score will remain at 100% and no overperformance will be awarded.

• with reference to the sustainability targets, the vesting of Rights is linked to the achievement of the target of defining and adopting a succession strategy and completing the initiatives in the action plan. The target will be positively evaluated only if the adoption and launch of related initiatives are carried out by a minimum number of facilities.

If the total number of vested Rights (payout) is – due to performance linked to various targets – less than 50% of the Rights granted for the full achievement of expected targets (i.e. at target), no Shares will be allocated.

At the end of the performance period, the number of Shares to be allocated to the Chief Executive Officer will be determined by the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, based on the extent to which performance targets were achieved, subsequent to the approval of the 2027 annual accounts at the Shareholders' Meeting.

To ensure greater alignment with the Group's medium/long-term interests and to focus management's attention on stock performance, 70% of the allocated Shares will be awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and other beneficiaries at the end of the three-year Performance Share Plan, while a portion equal to 30% will be deferred for 24 months.

2024-2026 Performance Share Plan - Deferral Scheme

In compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Chief Executive Officer (and other beneficiaries of the Performance Share Plan who are members of the Board of Directors) will be required to continuously hold a number of Shares equal to at least 25% of the allocated Shares until the end of their current term of office (lock-up period). During the lock-up period, the Chief Executive Officer will be entitled to any dividends distributed and may exercise his/her voting rights.

The Performance Share Plan also includes Malus and Clawback clauses, pursuant to which the Company has the right to withhold (Malus) or request the return of the countervalue of any Shares allocated (Clawback) under the Performance Share Plan if they have been awarded based on information that later proves to be inaccurate or falsified, or on conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory, or statutory provisions, the Code of Ethics, or applicable company regulations resulting in a significant loss for any Group company, or fraudulent or grossly negligent behaviour detrimental to a Group company.

If a "good leaver" terminates his/her office before receiving the share allocation letter, the Rights will mature (and thus shares will be allocated) on a pro-rata basis, contingent upon meeting the threshold and the verification of performance targets. However, the Performance Share Plan will not be expedited under any circumstances. Regarding the deferred portion, if a good leaver terminates his/her office during the deferral period, the allocation of shares will be fully expedited. In all other situations in which the term of office is terminated ("bad leavers") before shares are allocated, the granted Rights will be lost, unless otherwise established by the Board of Directors due to special circumstances.

For more details on the Performance Share Plan, reference should be made to the relative Disclosure Document drawn up in accordance with Annex 3A, Schedule 7 of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, made available to the public on the Company website www.garofalohealthcare.com,, in the "Governance/Shareholders' Meetings" and "Governance/Remuneration" sections.

2.5.1.4. Pay mix

2.5.2. Other Executive Directors

This remuneration comprises (i) a fixed component, (ii) a potentially short-term variable component linked to the achievement of specific performance targets, which may also include non-financial criteria, pre-established and outlined in line with the Policy, and (ii) a potential medium-term variable component linked to performance targets over a period of three years.

2.5.2.1. Fixed component and variable component

The fixed component should sufficiently remunerate the Other Executive Directors where the variable component is not paid because the performance targets indicated are not met.

In addition to the fixed remuneration recognised as a Director, determined by the Board of Directors as allocation of the total remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the three-year period 2024-2026, the following may be provided for the Other Executive Directors:

  • i) fixed remuneration as an Executive and/or for positions held in Boards of Directors of Group companies;
  • ii) a potential annual bonus depending on the role held, with a weighting on fixed remuneration to be evaluated according to the job role; and
  • iii) the potential allocation of shares accrued as a beneficiary of the 2024-2026 Performance Share Plan, with target percentages to be set based on the beneficiary's role (ranging from 10% to 30% of fixed remuneration), and a payout scale that provides access to a number of Rights between 75% and 125% of those granted upon achievement of the set targets;

A D&O (Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance) policy is provided for Other Executive Directors.

2.5.2.2. Non-monetary benefits

The Company may grant non-monetary benefits to Other Executive Directors in line with market practice and the roles and offices held. Non-monetary benefits include: telephone and computer devices, cars, life insurance policies, accident policies, supplementary medical cover, and meal vouchers.

2.5.2.3. Post-employment benefits provided in the event of termination of office or employment

There are no post-employment benefits for Other Executive Directors in the event of termination of office or termination of employment except for that provided by law and the relevant collective bargaining agreement, with regard to Executive Directors who also hold a managerial employment relationship. There are also no agreements related to non-competition, allocation or retention of nonmonetary benefits, nor are there consulting contracts stipulated for a period after the termination of the relationship.

2.6. Remuneration policy for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors

The Board of Statutory Auditors was renewed by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 29, 2024, which also approved the annual remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the amount, for each fiscal year, of (i) Euro 38,000 gross for the position of Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors; and (ii) Euro 28,000 gross for the position of Statutory Auditor.

The remuneration of the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors is commensurate with the commitment required, the importance of the role covered, and the size and sector of the Company, in line with Article 5, Recommendation 30 of the Corporate Governance Code.

For positions held in subsidiary companies, the remuneration provided for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors shall not exceed Euro 200,000 gross per Auditor per annum, in any case.

Section II: Report on Remuneration Paid in 2024

Introduction

This section provides information on events and activities carried out in 2024, for the purpose of disclosing the remuneration paid during the financial year by the Company. With particular reference to the variable components accrued based on the 2024 performance results, information is provided concerning the extent to which the associated targets were met. This choice reflects GHC's desire to provide the market, its Shareholders, and other stakeholders with clear and transparent information.

This section, divided into two parts, specifically outlines the remuneration, in any form or manner, paid to individuals who held the position of member of the Board of Directors or member of the Board of Statutory Auditors, during the 2024 financial year.

Activities of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

During the 2024 financial year, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee met nine times, with the active participation of its Committee members, specifically:

The meetings, lasting on average about 1 hour and 35 minutes, saw the regular and assiduous attendance of its members, with an average attendance rate of approximately 97%, and the participation of the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors and/or at least one other Auditor.

During this period, the Committee discussed the following remuneration topics, among others:

  • evaluation of the short- and medium/long-term results for the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager for 2023, to check on the actual implementation of the 2023 remuneration policy and, in particular, the actual achievement of performance targets (pursuant to Recommendation 25(c) of the CGC);
  • the Committee's assessment of the adequacy and overall consistency of the 2024 Remuneration Policy for Directors and top management (pursuant to Recommendation 25(d) of the CGC);
  • review of the letter provided by the Chairperson of the Italian Stock Exchange's Corporate Governance Committee and the related recommendations for 2024 concerning matters within the Committee's jurisdiction, and drafting of comments on points within its purview;
  • definition of the CEO's MBO plan targets for 2024;
  • definition of the new long-term incentive plan known as the "2024-2026 Performance Share Plan" and definition of the targets of the first cycle;

  • review of Sections I and II of the 2024 Remuneration Policy and Report, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the CFA and Article 84-quater of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, and the Committee's subsequent opinion;
  • analysis of the Shareholders' Meeting results on remuneration;

  • analysis of the results of engagement activities.

During the first few months of the 2025 financial year, the Committee's activities focused, among other matters, on:

  • finalising the short-term incentive plan (MBO) for the Chief Executive Officer for 2024 (for verification purposes, per Recommendation 25(c) of the Corporate Governance Code): reporting on meeting the threshold and targets, and calculating the payout;
  • preparing the new short-term incentive plan (MBO) for the Chief Executive Officer for 2025: analysing qualitative and quantitative benchmarks; defining the target opportunity, targets, and threshold; defining the incentive mechanism and payout;
  • finalising the second cycle of the 2021-2023 Performance Share Plan: reporting on meeting the threshold and targets, and calculating the payout;
  • setting targets for the second cycle of the "2024-2026 Performance Share Plan", analysis of the disclosure under Article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation and the draft regulations of the second cycle of the Plan;

  • definition of the 2025 Remuneration Policy under Article 123-ter of the CFA.

While performing its duties, the Committee had full access to the necessary information and relevant company departments from time to time.

Implementation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy

The 2024 Remuneration Policy was reviewed by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee as part of the periodic evaluation required by the Corporate Governance Code, confirming its coherence and consistency with the decisions made by the Board of Directors and the relevant shareholders' resolutions, where applicable. For the year under consideration, there were no deviations from the remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. Specifically, in line with the resolutions implemented by the Board of Directors, this remuneration policy was adopted for the intended beneficiaries through its specified components (see Section I, Chapter 2 of the 2024 Remuneration Report), namely:

  • a component as a Board Director;
  • a component as a Senior Director;

  • a gross annual fixed component (GAR);
  • a component for committee participation;
  • a medium/long-term component;
  • a short-term component;
  • benefits recognised under the applicable national collective bargaining agreements and company practices.

A complete illustration of the items which comprise remuneration is provided below, including postemployment benefits, highlighting compliance with the relevant Remuneration Policy.

In total, GHC's Board of Directors appointed on April 29, 2024, was granted an annual fixed remuneration of Euro 1,231,333.33 for the 2024 financial year, while GHC's Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed on April 29, 2024, was granted an annual fixed remuneration of Euro 94,000 for the 2024 financial year.

Members of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors resolved to distribute the total remuneration of Euro 220,000 among its members and granted additional remuneration to the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (based on the conferred powers), and the Independent Non-Executive Directors (as members of internal Board committees), thereby adopting the 2024 remuneration policy, as illustrated in the 2023 Remuneration Policy and Report. This section includes an overview of the adoption of the remuneration policy with regard to Other Executive Directors in their capacity as Executives of the Holding Company or Directors of other Group companies, as presented in 2024.

In addition, in accordance with the Issuers' Regulation (Annex 3A, Schedule 7-bis) and in adoption of the 2024 Remuneration Policy, any remuneration from subsidiaries received by members of the Board of Directors is included in Table 1, which forms part of the second section of this Report.

Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors

Pursuant to the Issuers' Regulation (Annex 3A, Schedule 7-bis) and in adoption of the 2024 Remuneration Policy, the remuneration received by the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors is included in Table 1, which forms part of the second part of this section.

Other Senior Executives

There were no Senior Executives other than Directors of the Company in 2024.

Variable incentive

Short-term variable incentive plan for the Chief Executive Officer

The Company's performance results for the 2024 financial year, evaluated and approved by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee at the meeting held on March 14, 2025, led to the determination of a performance level equivalent to 62.8% with regard to the variable component to be awarded to the Chief Executive Officer.

This performance level was obtained in light of the threshold being met and the results achieved with regard to the threshold and MBO targets.

MBO targets

Target Weighting Result
Pro-forma operating EBITDA margin 25% Between minimum and target
Equity Value 25% Between minimum and target
M&A transactions (EV) 30% Below minimum
ESG targets 20% Between target and maximum
Total 100% 62.8%

Specifically, the failure to reach the threshold value for the "M&A Operation (EV)" target is due to the absence of acquisitions in 2024. However, the full-year 2024 financial results reported an improvement over last year, reflecting the gradual integration of the newly acquired companies within the Group's operations.

As for the ESG targets, the percentage achieved was calculated based on the relevant KPI results, as illustrated below:

Objective Description Status
Number of home care services
provided
Number of home services provided in 2024 by the Centro
di Riabilitazione and Villa Fernanda (Centro Fides) facilities
Between target and
maximum
Risk assessment of IT
governance and cyber security
Number of operating companies for which the
qualitative/quantitative assessment was carried out on IT
governance and cyber security
Maximum
New Group Datacentre Launch of a new Group data centre Achieved

In line with the 2024 Remuneration Policy, the performance level achieved in 2024 enabled the activation of the short-term incentive system for the Chief Executive Officer. This resulted in the payment of a bonus equal to 37.6% of the fixed remuneration provided by the Group's Holding Company.

Medium/long-term variable incentive

Performance Share Plan

At the end of 2024, the second cycle of the 2021-2023 Performance Share Plan came to a close. The Company's results for 2022, 2023, and 2024, evaluated and approved by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee at the meeting on March 14, 2024, led to the determination of a performance level equal to 63.5% with reference to the variable component to be awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and other Plan beneficiaries.

This performance level was achieved due to the threshold being met, represented by the weighted average adjusted pro-forma operating EBITDA, along with the results achieved with regard to the threshold and PSP targets.

Objective Weighting Result
Pro-forma adjusted operating
EBITDA margin
60% Between minimum and target
Relative TSR vs FTSE All Share Index 25% Below minimum
ESG targets 15% Between target and maximum
Total 100% 63.5%

2021 - 2023 PSP Targets - First Cycle

The "Relative TSR" target did not result in the payment of the associated bonus as the performance level fell below the minimum, owing to GHC's stock performance being lower than the reference index over the 2022-2024 period.

The achievement of the ESG targets is linked to the assignment of the "EE (short-term) / EE+ (mediumlong term)" rating by Standard Ethics and the completion of energy and environmental performance initiatives at 70% of the facilities involved in the scheme.

In line with the Performance Share Plan conditions, the performance level reached for the second cycle of the Plan activated the long-term incentive system for the Chief Executive Officer and other Plan beneficiaries. Table 3A provides a detailed overview of the Rights accrued by the Plan's beneficiaries.

In accordance with the 2024 Remuneration Policy and Performance Share Plan conditions, on September 11, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the number of rights to Shares to be granted to beneficiaries of the 2024-2026 Performance Share Plan, identified by the Board of Directors for the first cycle, as provided for in the "Regulation on the First Cycle of the Plan" approved by the Board of Directors on March 7, 2024.

The Rights granted to the Chief Executive Officer and other individuals requiring disclosure are listed in Table 3A at the end of this Report.

Benefits

The value of benefits granted in 2024 on a tax assessable basis is listed in Table 1 of the "2024 Remuneration Report" chapter. Specifically, these values refer to the following benefit: assignment of a company car for business and personal use (annual value, net of the beneficiary's contribution).

The values of the ex-post pay mix shown in the pie chart were calculated taking into account the fixed remuneration and short-term incentive values listed in Table 1, while the percentage of medium/longterm incentives refers to the 2022-2024 performance just concluded, as valued in Table 3A.

Indemnity for the early resolution of employment or payments for noncompetition commitments

No employment contracts were entered into by members of the Board of Directors or members of the Board of Statutory Auditors with the Issuer or other Group companies that provide for the payment of indemnity in addition to or in terms other than those provided by law and/or the applicable national collective bargaining agreement.

In 2024, one subsidiary voted to renew 10% of the annual remuneration to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, Alessandro Maria Rinaldi, as part of their end-of-term provision.

There are no non-competition agreements in place.

Annual change in company remuneration

The Company shares the goal of increasing transparency concerning the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration and continuously monitoring the ratio between his/her remuneration, the rest of the

workforce, and business results. Specifically, GHC has monitored the annual change in remuneration since 2021, when the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors were re-appointed, while business performance trends were evaluated over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024.

The remuneration structure adopted by the Company adequately rewards the skills, experience, and contribution required for the various roles, taking into account the targets assigned and results achieved.

The following table outlines the annual change:

  • in the total remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, and other Directors and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors; and
  • in the average gross annual remuneration, benchmarked against full-time equivalent employees, excluding individuals for whom nominal disclosure is provided.

2024 Remuneration overview

The analytical details of remuneration paid by the Company or other Group companies in any capacity or form in 2024 are provided in the tables below, in compliance with the Consob Issuers` Regulation.

In accordance with the provision of Article 84-quater and Annex 3A, Schedule 7-ter of the Consob Issuers' Regulation, this Report includes a table outlining the shareholdings held by the Company and its subsidiaries, members of the administrative and control bodies, and other Senior Executives. The table is based on the information provided in the Shareholders' Register, communications received, or information acquired from members of the administrative and control bodies and Senior Executives.

Table 1: Remuneration paid to members of management and control bodies and other Senior Executives

Key

In the "Fixed Remuneration" section, the following are indicated separately, possibly in the footnotes and on an accruals basis: (i) the remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, even if not paid; (ii) attendance fees; (iii) flat-rate expense reimbursements; (iv) remuneration received for holding particular positions, as per Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code (for example, Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson); (v) fixed remuneration for employment before social security and tax charges borne by the employee, excluding mandatory collective social security charges borne by the company and severance reserves. The other components of any employment remuneration (bonuses, other compensation, non-monetary benefits, etc.) should be indicated in the respective columns, specifying the portion paid by virtue of an administrative or employment relationship in the footnotes.

"Committee participation remuneration" should be indicated on an accrual basis and can be aggregated. Information about the committees in which the Director participates should be provided in a footnote, in addition to the remuneration received if the Director participates in multiple committees.

Vested remuneration is included in the "Bonuses and other incentives" column, even if not yet paid, during the year for targets achieved within that same year as part of monetary incentive plans. Granted or exercised stock-option values or other remuneration in financial instruments are not included in any case. This value is the sum of the amounts shown in Table 3B, columns 2A, 3B and 4, line (III).

The amount in the "Profit sharing" column is reported on an accrual basis even if the financial statements and the distribution of profits have not yet occurred.

"Non-monetary benefits" indicates the value of fringe benefits (on a tax assessable basis), including any insurance policies and supplementary funds.

"Indemnity at end of office or termination of employment" shows the indemnities accrued, even if not yet paid, in favour of Directors for termination of office during the financial year under review, with reference to the year in which the actual termination took place. The estimated value of any non-monetary benefits, consultancy contracts, and indemnity related to non-competition commitments is also indicated. The amount of indemnity for non-competition commitments shall be reported only once at the time of termination of office, specifying in the first part of the second section of the report the duration of the non-competition commitment and the date of actual payment.

The "Other remuneration" column separately indicates any additional remuneration resulting from other services provided on an accrual basis. Information on any loans, advance payments, or guarantees granted by the Company or its subsidiaries to Executive Directors and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors is provided in a footnote if they represent a form of indirect remuneration when taking into account specific conditions (differing from market conditions or those applicable in standardised form to categories of individuals).

The "Fair value of equity remuneration" column indicates the fair value at the allocation date of equity remuneration for the year under equity-based incentive plans, estimated in accordance with international accounting standards. This value corresponds to the sum of the amounts shown in column 16, row III of Table 2 and column 12, row III of Table 3A below.

Column (6) "Total" aggregates accounts (1) to (5).

Row (III) summarises the remuneration received from the reporting Company and the remuneration received for tasks performed in subsidiary and associated companies for each column.

  • financial instruments vested in the year and to be allocated, indicating the value at the vesting date;
  • fair value of financial instruments attributable to the year.

The vesting period refers to the time between the date the Right is granted to participate in the incentive system and the date the right matures.

Financial instruments vested during the financial year and not allocated are those for which the vesting period ended during the financial year and were not allocated to the beneficiary due to a failure to meet the conditions upon which the instrument's allocation was contingent (for example, failure to achieve performance targets).

The value at the vesting date is the value of the vested financial instruments, even if not yet issued (for example, due to lockup clauses), at the end of the vesting period.

If an aggregated representation criterion is adopted, the following information should be provided in the table:

  • the total number of non-vested financial instruments held at the beginning of the financial year, indicating the average maturity;
  • the total number of financial instruments granted at the beginning of the financial year, indicating the total fair value, average maturity, and average market price upon grant;
  • the total number of financial instruments vested in the year and not issued;
  • the total number of financial instruments vested in the year and issuable, indicating the total market value;
  • the total fair value of the financial instruments for the financial year.
