SECTION I: Remuneration Policy

The first section of the Report outlines the Remuneration Policy implemented by the Company, detailing the principles and guidelines governing the definition of the remuneration for the Group's Directors and key managers with strategic responsibilities and overseeing their implementation.

On October 27th, 2023, the Shareholders' Meeting approved Section I of the Remuneration Report and the Remuneration Policy contained therein, pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3 of the T.U.F. The Remuneration Policy will remain in force until the expiration of the current Board of Directors, therefore until the approval of the financial statements for the fiscal year ending on June 30th, 2026.

During the reporting period, the Remuneration Committee decided not to propose any amendments to the Remuneration Policy, thereby confirming its principles, objectives, and implementation methods. As a result, such Remuneration Policy will not be submitted again to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting.

Pursuant to the Related parties regulations, the Company's procedure on related party transactions excludes from its scope all resolutions concerning the remuneration of Directors with specific offices and of key managers with strategic responsibilities (except for the disclosures obligations set out in interim financial reports), provided that:

  • i) the Remuneration Policy adopted by the Company is prepared by a Remuneration Committee, which is entirely composed of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent;
  • ii) the Remuneration Report is submitted for the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • iii) the remuneration of Directors with specific offices and key managers with strategic responsibilities is consistent with the Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Remuneration Committee was not supported by any external independent consultants when drafting its suggestions on remuneration-related matters nor for performing its benchmarking analysis based on similar companies.

The Board of Directors is responsible for implementing the Remuneration Policy and for determining the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officers ("CEOs"), without prejudice to the powers reserved to the Shareholders' Meeting under the applicable laws and the Articles of Association. The CEOs are entrusted with the definition of the remuneration of the key managers with strategic responsibilities (including the recommendations and proposals to the competent bodies within the Group's subsidiaries).

1. Corporate bodies involved in the drafting and approval of the Remuneration Policy

The corporate bodies involved in the preparation, approval, and implementation of the Remuneration Policy include the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee, and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

1.1 Board of Directors

1.2 Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is established by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the Corporate Governance Code. The Remuneration Committee is solely composed of non-executive and independent directors. As of the reporting date, the Remuneration Committee consists of the following members:

  • Carlotta Ilaria D'Ercole member;

  • Laura Soifer member.

The Remuneration Committee:

  • monitors the proper application of such remuneration criteria, based on the information provided by the CEOs;

  • assists the Board of Directors in the preparation of the Remuneration Report.

The current Remuneration Policy was preliminary reviewed by the Remuneration Committee before being submitted by the Board of Directors to the Shareholder's Meeting for its approval.

1.4 Board of Statutory Auditors

The Board of Statutory Auditors formulates its opinion on the proposed remuneration for Directors and Directors with special offices, ensuring they comply with the Remuneration Policy.

2. Principles and purposes of the Remuneration Policy

The remuneration framework for Directors and key managers with strategic responsibilities is designed to acknowledge their professionalism. It ensures an appropriate balance between fixed and variable components, supporting the development of a sustainable corporate strategy and fostering value creation over the medium to long term.

The adopted Remuneration Policy is designed to motivate key professionals, enabling them to carry out their duties and responsibilities striving for excellence. It ensures an appropriate balance between the fixed and variable components of remuneration as well as a balance between short-term and medium- to long-term objectives. The Policy aligns the interests of Executive Directors and managers with strategic responsibilities with the greater goal of creating value for the Company's shareholders over the medium- and the long-term, while ensuring the sustainable continuity of the Group's operations.

The main principles underlying the Remuneration Policy are as follows:

  • the fixed component is designed to sufficiently compensate the beneficiaries for their role, even in the event that the variable component is not disbursed if the performance targets set by the Board are not met;
  • the short-term variable component is mainly based on profitability targets set for the fiscal year. This component includes a cap, a claw-back and withholding clause (malus), as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code;
  • the medium/long-term variable component is linked to the growth of the Group's operating margins compared to the results achieved in the fiscal years prior to the implementation of the LTI plan. This approach eliminates any effect from financing policies and/or dividend distributions. There is no fixed cap on the long-term variable component, which however shall not exceed 5% of the Group's EBIT realized at each period. This component includes claw-back and malus clauses, as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code;
  • the Stock Options plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The performance targets set for the short and long-term variable component are:

  • prioritized and directly connected to the Group's medium and long-term strategy;
  • specific, as they are clearly defined and included in the Group's expected results;
  • measurable, as they are assessed with clear and predefined indicators;
  • realistic, as they shall be achievable, though challenging and ambitious;
  • time-bound.

2.1 Principles of the Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy aims to increase the Group's compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee by improving its transparency and completeness, optimizing the pay mix between fixed and variable components, and incorporating claw-back and malus clauses. The Policy also focuses on establishing a stronger connection between the variable remuneration and long-term objectives.

The Group strongly believes that the professional growth and development of its workforce represent critical tools for improving market competitiveness and achieving its sustainable success. Career opportunities are provided to all employees based on merit, their professional and managerial capabilities, and their contribution to the Company's efforts to grow and improve.

The current Remuneration Policy, as approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on October 27th, 2023, complies with the Corporate Governance Code and is in line with the previously adopted remuneration policy.

The Remuneration Policy details the remuneration procedures addressed to Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors, and key managers with strategic responsibilities.

During the Reporting Period, the Remuneration Committee decided not to propose any changes to the approved Policy, reaffirming its principles, objectives, and methods of application. The Remuneration Policy will therefore remain in force until the expiration of the current Board of Directors, therefore until the approval of the financial statements as of June 30th, 2026.

3. Remuneration Policy application

The implementation of the fixed and variable components included in the Remuneration Policy is based on different principles and procedures, depending on the recipients.

The Remuneration Policy was prepared using the best practices available on the market as benchmarks; however, no remuneration policy adopted by another company was taken as a specific reference.

Executive Directors and key managers with strategic responsibilities

The total remuneration for Executive Directors is determined based on industry benchmarks, taking into account different factors, such as the Directors' contribution to the Company's results and their professional performance, while also ensuring alignment with internal compensation levels. This approach ensures that the remuneration is consistent with the Group's current and future size and complexity, while also promoting its sustainable success.

The Remuneration Committee performed a benchmarking analysis on the total remuneration and on the pay mix of Executive Directors, without the support of any independent external consultants.

The remuneration for Executive Directors with specific offices is composed as follows:

  • a fixed component, consistent with the individual powers of attorney and the responsibilities assigned to each Executive Director;
  • a short-term variable component, reflecting a set percentage of the fixed component and linked to shortterm targets (the MBO Objectives);
  • a medium/long-term variable component, linked to the growth of the Group's consolidated EBIT year-onyear (the LTI Plan);
  • the Stock Option Plan;
  • other components.

Executive Directors with professional or executive positions receive a variable remuneration on top of the fixed component set by the Shareholders' Meeting. The variable component of the pay-mix is determined by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the criteria described below.

Fixed remuneration

The fixed component of the remuneration for Executive Directors is established by the Board of Directors, based on the proposals submitted by the Remuneration Committee, and after the preliminary review of the Board of Statutory Auditors, pursuant to Article 2389, part 3 of the Civil Code.

The fixed component shall be consistent with the powers of attorney, the specific responsibilities and the strategic roles assigned to each Director. The fixed component shall be enough to adequately compensate the Directors even in the event that the performance-based targets are not achieved, to discourage behaviors that are inconsistent with the Group's risk tolerance.

Short-term variable remuneration – MBO Objectives

The variable component of the remuneration for Executive Directors is defined by the Board of Directors, based on the proposals of the Remuneration Committee and following the Board of Statutory Auditors' preliminary assessment.

This variable component is designed to encourage the Group's management to achieve annual targets, to maximize the Company's value while also aligning it with shareholders' interests and pursuing the Group's long-term strategic plan.

The MBO Objectives are disbursed immediately following the Board of Directors' approval of the draft financial statements for the fiscal year, after the Remuneration Committee assessed that the performance targets for the fiscal year were achieved. The targets are proportional to the Group's budget and defined by using objective, performance-based indicators in order to minimize discretionary judgments and to ensure effective management oversight. Following the introduction of the LTI, which is based on the growth of the Group's EBIT margin, a significant portion of the MBO objective should consist of qualitative targets defined on a yearly basis.

The MBO Objectives require that 100% of the quantitative target should be met in order to receive the full amount of the total remuneration. The variable component for the CEOs should not exceed 30% of their fixed remuneration as Directors. For the other Executive Directors with managerial and/or professional contracts with the Company, the variable component should not exceed 30% of their total gross salary including any non-competition agreement.

The MBO Objectives enable the Group to:

  • promote its growth, which is essential for achieving EBIT-based targets;
  • cultivate a sense of belonging and teamwork;
  • enhance individual accountability and responsibility.

The Remuneration Policy incorporates claw-back and malus clauses, allowing the Company to reclaim the partial or full variable component if the calculation was based on incorrect data.

During the reporting period, the MBO Objectives proposed by the Remuneration Committee consist for two-thirds on financial criteria and for one-third on non-financial criteria. The financial objective consists of an EBIT target defined by the Remuneration Committee, based on the Company's short term financial planning (Forecast), as approved by the Board of Directors on November 14th, 2024. The non-financial objective consists of the improvement of specific sustainability metrics included in the Sustainability Report as of June 30th, 2023, namely the average annual training hours per employee (GRI 404-1), at 3.13 hours as of June 30th, 2023, and the percentage of employees receiving a regular performance and career development review (GRI 404-3), equal to 57% of the workforce.

During the fiscal year, none of the MBO objectives, neither those based on financial criteria nor those linked to sustainability metrics, were achieved.

Medium/long term variable remuneration -LTI Plan

The Remuneration Policy also includes the LTI Plan, which was introduced in a phase of strong growth for the Group, supported by favorable market conditions during the pandemic period, with the aim of consolidating the results achieved. In recent years, however, the industry has slowed down and the competitive environment has become more challenging, requiring the Group to adapt its publishing and managerial choices, while continuing to pursue its sustainable growth. Given that the effects of current decisions will only be seen in the medium to long term, the Company considers it a priority to maintain a stable management structure aligned with its long-term strategy.

The four Executive Directors are the beneficiaries of the Group's medium/long-term variable remuneration. The LTI plan is divided into three periods:

  • 2021 2022 two-year period;
  • 2023 2024 two-year period;
  • 2025 2027 three-year period.

For each period, Executive Directors and other beneficiaries of the LTI Plan are entitled to a variable amount calculated as a percentage of consolidated EBIT above Euro 35 million for the first two periods and Euro 52.5 million for the final period (equivalent to an average annual consolidated EBIT of Euro 17.5 million). The applicable percentages increase over time, from 6% in the first period, to 9% in the second, and 12% in the final period. The total amount is then allocated among individual beneficiaries according to predefined criteria. The overall cost of the LTI Plan shall not exceed 5% of the cumulative consolidated EBIT achieved during the periods.

The LTI is disbursed within 45 days from the Shareholders' Meeting's approval of the financial statements for the fiscal year-end of each reference period, following the Remuneration Committee's assessment of the performance target.

The entitlement to the LTI Plan is contingent upon the Directors' employment with the Company throughout each period, with exceptions for Good Leaver cases as specified in the LTI Plan's regulation. The LTI Plan also includes claw-back and malus clauses, in compliance with the Corporate Governance Code.

Pay mix

The Remuneration Policy was subject to a benchmarking analysis by the Remuneration Committee, comparing the remuneration of the four Executive Directors in absolute terms and in terms of pay-mix with a panel of similar companies.

2024-2025
Fixed MBO LTI TOTAL
CEOs 100% 0% 0% 100%
CFO 100% 0% 0% 100%
General Counsel 100% 0% 0% 100%

The 2024-2025 pay-mix is detailed below:

Since the targets were not achieved, no variable components related to the MBO Objectives nor the LTI Plan were awarded during the fiscal year.

Considering the calculation mechanism for the variable remuneration described above and in light of the negative EBIT margin of over Euro 11 million realized as of June 30th , 2025, the target set for the LTI Plan is not expected to be achieved even in the next fiscal year. Nonetheless, consistent with the previous Reports, an illustrative pay-mix analysis is provided below, based on the hypothesis of EBIT growth scenarios of 20% and 50%.

Average 20% and 50% operating income growth scenario:

2024-2025
Fixed MBO LTI TOTAL
CEOs 80% 20% 0% 100%
CFO 77% 23% 0% 100%
General Counsel 77% 23% 0% 100%

Stock option Plan

All incentive plans based on financial instruments shall be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, pursuant to Article 114-bis of Law No. 58/199 and shall meet specific requirements concerning market information according to the applicable regulations. The Board of Directors defines the details and the implementation methods for such instruments with the support of the Remuneration Committee, taking into account the Company's risk profile and pursuant to the following principles:

  • strengthening the Company's sustainable growth and its medium/long-term value creation, while increasing management retention through long-term and multi-year vesting periods;
  • retention constraints to ensure beneficiaries remain with the Company.

The Company engaged an external consultancy firm to assist the Board in the definition and implementation of the incentive plans based on financial instruments, ensuring they align with market standards for companies of similar size and listed on the same regulated market.

Further details on the Stock Options Plan are provided in the Information Document pursuant to Art. 84-bis of the Consob Regulation no. 11971, May 14th, 1999 published on the Company website www.digitalbros.com under the Governance/Remuneration section, in accordance to Art. 123-ter, par. 5 of the T.U.F..

The Stock Option Plan identifies different vesting periods for the options granted to Executive directors and some key managers. The vesting periods are as follows:

  • 30% of the total number of options vesting from July 1st, 2019;
  • 30% from July 1st, 2022;
  • the remaining 40% starting from July 1st, 2025.

As of the date of approval of this Report, the last vesting period is concluded, and all options can be exercised until June 30th, 2026.

Executive Directors are required to retain at least 20% of the shares acquired under the Stock Option Plan for each vesting period until the expiration of their office.

The Stock Option Plan includes Bad Leaver clauses, whereby beneficiaries leaving the Company will permanently lose their rights to exercise any unexercised options. Conversely, under Good Leaver conditions, beneficiaries will retain the right to exercise all options already vested.

In the event of death and/or permanent disability, the heirs and/or the beneficiary may request the exercise of all the options even if not vested yet.

Other information

No additional performance targets concerning the allocation of shares, options and/or other financial instruments have been provided for. With the sole exception of the Stock Options Plan, there are no further requirements concerning the retention of financial instruments in the portfolio.

Extraordinary operations

In the event of extraordinary transactions, such as (but not limited to) acquisitions or disposals, mergers or spin-offs, carve-outs, share capital increases, financial or equity operations, or in the case of legislative or regulatory changes that substantially impact performance objectives, the Board of Directors is empowered to make discretionary adjustments or additions to the Executive Directors' incentive plans. These amendments should aim to preserve the substantive and economic integrity of the incentive plans and should be finalized after the preliminary review of the Remuneration Committee.

Non-monetary benefits

The non-monetary benefits provided by the C.C.N.L. Commercio (National Collective Labor Contract) for Executive Directors include welfare, health assistance and insurance benefits, as well the possibility to use a car for private purposes.

Policy in case of resignation or termination of employment

The Company does not have any agreements in place with its Directors managing the compensation for indemnities in the event of their resignation or dismissal without due cause, nor for the termination of employment following a takeover bid, with no prejudice to the notice period required by the C.C.N.L. Commercio for executives.

There are no provisions for allocating and retaining non-monetary benefits, nor for the execution of potential consultancy agreements after the termination of the relationship.

The effects of the termination of the relationship between the Issuer and its Executive Directors are detailed in the specific section for each Director, as they may differ from one to another.

Non-Executive Directors

Non-Executive Directors are identified as Directors without individual management powers nor management positions within the Company or its subsidiaries. Their remuneration solely consists of a fixed component, which should reflect their expertise, professionalism, and the level of commitment required for their role, taking into account whether they attended or served as member or chairman of any Board Committee.

The remuneration of Non-executive Directors is not related to the Company's economic performance nor to specific performance-based targets. Non-Executive Directors are not identified as beneficiaries of any share-based incentive plan.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is subject to a benchmarking analysis performed by the Remuneration Committee on a recurring basis.

Insurance coverage

In line with best practices, the Company stipulated a Directors & Officers (D&O) liability insurance policy to cover the civil liability of the members of its corporate bodies when performing their duties, aimed at compensating the Group against potential compensation costs, excluding all cases of wilful misconduct and gross negligence.

No incremental insurance, social security and/or pension coverage are in place, other than the ones required by Law.

Exceptions to the Remuneration Policy

No exceptions to the Remuneration Policy are allowed.
