Letter of the Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

Dear Shareholders,

In my capacity as Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (hereinafter the "Committee"), and also on behalf of the Committee and the Board, I am proud to present to you the "Remuneration Policy and Report" of Avio S.p.A. (hereinafter "Avio" or the "Company").

This Report seeks to inform Stakeholders (shareholders, employees and customers) concerning the correspondence between the Company's remuneration policies and business strategies: for Avio, remuneration represents a key tool in aligning the interests of top management with those of our stakeholders, contributing to the pursuit of the Company's corporate strategy, long-term interests and sustainability. The ability to attract, retain and motivate management is a key factor for any company which, like Avio, operates in a highly specialised sector requiring constant and rapid alignment to the requirements imposed by the market and technological development.

For Avio, success is measured on the basis of operating, financial and equity results, but also, in broader terms, on human, social, relational and environmental capital: our policies are inspired by sustainability, inclusiveness and the incentivisation of equal opportunities.

In 2025, your Company launched a new, ambitious growth strategy, laying the groundwork to capitalise on the increasing pace of expansion of the Space and Defence markets, in both Europe and the United States.

On September 11, 2025, the Company approved its new Business Plan and simultaneously launched a Euro 400 million rights issue aimed at enhancing the Company's production capacity in both the space and defence businesses, specifically including the construction in the United States of a solid-propellant engine production facility expected to be operational by the end of 2028. The share capital increase was approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of October 23, 2025, with the favourable vote of more than 99% of the share capital present, and was concluded on November 20, 2025 with the subscription of 100% of the options offered, confirming the significant appreciation by the market of the Company's strategy.

Meanwhile, your company posted its best ever financial and operating results in 2025, with a record order book standing at Euro 2,166 million, revenues of Euro 542 million and the highest profitability in the last five years, with reported EBITDA of Euro 32.3 million. These results represent the consolidation of compound annual growth of around 26% over the past three years for each of these financial and operating performance indicators. These especially positive results have seen the value of your company, as measured by total market capitalisation, grow from approximately 220 million at the end of 2023 to around 1,350 million at the end of 2025, a compound annual growth rate of roughly 150% over the three-year period. Your Company also maintained a positive net financial position throughout the period, reaching a particular high at the end of 2025 (more than 590 million in net cash, of which more than 200 million from operations, the rest relating to funding from the capital increase), reflecting excellent financial health.

With this in mind, the Committee has drafted and submitted for the Board of Directors' approval the Remuneration Policy for 2026, as described in the first section of this Report. The Policy is consistent with the change in Avio's size and also takes into account that significant further growth is expected in the short to medium term, in accordance with the newly approved business plan.

The Committee gave due consideration to the benchmark analysis for the FY 2025 remuneration of the Chairperson of Avio's Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Non-Executive Directors, taking into account the changing size of the company in terms of both operating and financial performance parameters and total market capitalisation.

The benchmark analysis highlighted that the remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager in 2025 was lower than the first quartile of the companies included in the respective Peer Groups.

CERTIFIED

The 2026 policy therefore introduces a number of new elements, as listed below, designed to align the remuneration policies with the changes in the Company's size and performance level.

For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Senior Executives the main changes are:

  • a proposed revision of the fixed and short-term variable components of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager's remuneration package, in alignment with a new benchmark, while the long-term component remains unchanged;
  • a partial revision of the targets of the long-term variable component, which sees weightings reconfigured, while the form remains that of a long-term, monetary incentive plan with three-year closed-cycle vesting periods.
  • Specifically, these changes are as follows:
  • increase in the weighting of the KPI Average return on invested capital;
  • slight reduction in the weighting of the KPI related to US Business Order Intake;
  • no substantial changes were made to the ESG objectives.

For the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Non-Executive Directors and all the members of Avio's corporate bodies, and in light of the increased complexity of the Group's scope of activity, the benchmark analysis reveals the need to increase respective remuneration, both for participation in Board activities and for participation in Board Committees; the current remuneration of these Directors is, in fact, distinctly below the Peer Group median, and is therefore neither consistent nor adequate in terms of the prevailing market conditions.

Considering the results of the benchmark analyses, taking into account the indications of the Italian Corporate Governance Code, and having verified the existence of the prerequisites to propose an increase in remuneration, the Committee invites - in accordance with its prerogatives - the Shareholders' Meeting and the Board of Directors to take office for the 2026-2028 term to consider a revision of remuneration.

Throughout the year, Avio maintained an ongoing dialogue with investors and stakeholders, in line with the engagement policy. These stakeholders expressed significant appreciation of our Policies at the most recent Shareholders' Meeting. It should be noted that top management is directly involved in business risk by means of holdings in the share capital of Avio. These are held through the investment vehicle In Orbit S.p.A., which at the publication date of the report held 1% ca of the share capital.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Directors Giovanni Soccodato and Raffaele Cappiello for their invaluable and invariably thorough support, and to recognise the collective effort that has guided the work of the current Committee during the term that concludes with the 2026 Shareholders' Meeting. This work has been in the service of investors and the Group. I also extend my sincere gratitude to the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for their expert opinions, which were an invaluable contribution to our work. Last but by no means least, I would like to thank the company departments that have consistently and effectively supported us in the course of our work. On behalf of the entire Committee, I would like to conclude by thanking you, in advance, for the interest you show in our Remuneration Policy each year, and I trust that as Shareholders you will find the information contained in this document both comprehensive and useful.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

The Remuneration Policy and Report represents the liaison between the Company's strategic development targets and management action. The structure and rationale for the policies are designed to be consistent with the Company's goals of growth and long-term shareholder value creation. In particular, the selection of economic and financial indicators and the processes for defining and monitoring targets are designed to support and incentivise management to achieve the Group's targets.

Avio's business model and long-term sustainability is based on its capacity for development and technological innovation, and therefore on its ability to attract and develop highly qualified resources at both managerial and technical-scientific level. For this, the remuneration policy is a key tool. The criteria and tools adopted in the policy incorporate the most advanced elements of national and international best market practices. In this context, long-term sustainability, a structural characteristic of the Group's long history, is a priority target that led in 2020 to the inclusion of specific parameters, complementary to the economic and financial targets, against which to measure management performance. These sustainability targets reinforce the active role that Avio has always played in collaboration with the main institutional stakeholders at an international level (such as the European Space Agency, the European Union and the European Commission),- at a national level (such as the Italian Space Agency and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers), and at a local level (such as the Municipal Administration of Colleferro).

Principles of Avio's remuneration

Avio's Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors and Senior Executives is based on the following principles and criteria:

  • the goal of attracting, retaining and motivating resources with a high level of professionalism, paying particular attention to positions considered key to business development and management;
  • a link with Company's performance and risk profile;
  • the alignment of the interests of Company Management with the pursuit of the target to contribute to the corporate strategy, to create value for shareholders over the long-term and to achieve sustainable performance over time.

Key performance drivers

Our incentive systems reflect Avio's performance drivers, closely linked to the key priorities of the Company's strategy:

Main changes in 2026 Remuneration Policies

The key changes¹ introduced in the 2026 Policies include:

  • a review of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager's remuneration package to bring it in line with the company's new size and the significant changes in the Company's business, as already communicated to the market, based on the operating and financial performance values achieved in 2025 and consolidated in the three-year period 2023-2025. The company considered remuneration benchmarking analyses performed with the help of an independent advisor on a new panel of 18 listed companies (13 in Europe and five in the USA) that are comparable to Avio in size and complexity and operating in the Aerospace & Defence and Industrial sectors². Compared to this new panel of companies, Avio ranks above the first quartile and below the median in terms of market capitalisation, total asset value, annual revenue, EBITDA, and number of employees.

Upon the Committee's proposal, the Board of Directors' meeting of March 12, 2026 therefore proposed an alignment of total remuneration values (as the sum of fixed and variable components), which were slightly below the first quartile values, in substantial consistency with Avio's positioning compared to this new panel of reference companies, adjusting the pay mix to favour long-term variable components. However, Avio's growth rate is currently higher for each of the benchmarks than that of the panel companies; as such, this assessment may be revised again in the future to ensure, including in the short to medium term, that remuneration levels remain consistent with the company's positioning relative to the panel companies and, moreover, to take into account the new responsibilities formally assumed in the governance of Avio USA.

In 2025, in fact, Avio achieved its best historical results in terms of net order backlog (Euro 2.2 billion), revenues (Euro 542 million) and net cash position (Euro 592 million). Between 2023 and 2025 Avio consolidated an annual compounded growth in net order backlog, revenues and Reported EBITDA of 26%, a figure that is very high in itself. Market capitalisation grew from Euro 220 million at the end of 2023 to approximately Euro 1,350 million at the end of 2025 (a compound annual growth rate of about 150%). The company has no net debt and enjoys a net cash position of 592 million at the end of 2025, reflecting financial solidity and value creation for shareholders.

¹ These changes will become effective following the Shareholders' Meeting's approval of this Report.

In September 2025, Avio also approved a business plan to significantly increase revenues by 2030, including, among other activities, the establishment of a major industrial facility in the United States. To meet its growth and development plans, Avio also concluded a capital increase worth Euro 400 million in November 2025, which involved a significant reorganisation of the shareholder structure. As announced to the market on January 29, 2026, the Company revised upwards the guidance for 2025 following the increase in order backlog and revenues. It had also exceeded market expectations in terms of net cash position. These results confirm the Company's future growth prospects while also highlighting the increased complexity of the challenges it will face in the coming years. The Company also reported that more than 20% of Avio's share capital is held by US investors, the average stock liquidity recorded in 2025 was more than 10 times higher than in the previous year, the volumes traded on foreign markets increased from approximately 20% in early 2024 to approximately 50% in late 2025, and finally that its stock market capitalisation increased to more than Euro 1.5 billion.

Most recently, in February 2026, and precisely because of its stock market performance, Avio became part of Borsa Italiana Euronext's FTSE MIB index, a segment that brings together the 40 most liquid stocks on the market. This is a prestigious achievement in itself and is useful in further supporting the liquidity of the stock, with obvious value for shareholders.

These data testify to very significant changes at Avio in recent years. These changes have motivated the identification, as outlined above, of a new panel of benchmark companies for remuneration, anchored by Avio's own positioning with respect to the new Group of companies.

  • Considering the above, the main changes to the Remuneration Policy interventions are as follows:
  • the value of the fixed component of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager's remuneration is increased to Euro 575,000; this is positioned between the first quartile and the market median of the benchmark with the new panel of companies indicated above³. The value may also be re-assessed in the short/medium term in line with the Company's positioning compared to the panel of companies in the benchmark;
  • for the short-term variable component, the target incentive value as a % of fixed remuneration is increased to 90% with cap at 138%, thus positioning itself slightly below the market median of the benchmark (93% at target);
  • regarding the long-term variable component, the value of the target allocation as a % of fixed remuneration remains at 120%, with a cap at 180%, thus positioning itself slightly below the market median of the benchmark (154% at target);
  • adoption of a pay mix that aligns with best practices in the Italian and European markets, with a greater weighting for the long-term variable remuneration compared to the overall package (32% fixed, 29% short-term variable, 39% long-term variable);
  • overall total target remuneration (Euro 1,782,000) ranks below the top quartile of the new benchmark market panel of firms (Euro 1,938,000)

  • the introduction of a Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan, which, compared with the corresponding plan introduced in 2025 (the 2025-2027 Incentive Plan), includes the partial revision of targets with a rebalancing of weightings, through:

  • the adjustment of the KPI related to the achievement of US Business results in terms of Order Intake, with a weighting of 20%;
  • the confirmation of the weighting related to cumulative EBITDA KPIs at 35%;
  • the increase in ROIC, from 20% to 25%;
  • the maintenance of the four ESG KPIs.

  • The Board of Directors also highlighted the advisability of potentially proposing that the Shareholders' Meeting introduce long-term equity-type incentive instruments for management, subject to the publication, as required under current regulations, of a special Prospectus on the instruments;

  • The proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting to revise the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors to Euro 55,000 annually each and the Non-Executive Chairperson to Euro 225,000 annually. This takes into account the increased size, complexity of the business and international projection, which require more sophisticated skills (as already expressed in the market guidance opinion on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the BoD). These remunerations are higher than the median (Euro 41,000 for Directors and Euro 189,000 for the Chairperson)

³ This alignment approach also takes into account the fact that, during the 2017-2026 period, there was only one change in the fixed Chief Executive Officer/General Manager’s remuneration in 2024 (10%) while real inflation over the same period was more than 20%.

but lower than the third quartile (Euro 63,000 for Directors and Euro 267,000 for the Chairperson) of market benchmarks of reference companies (60 companies in the FTSE Italy MID Cap segment) and are appropriate in ensuring the availability of skills and commitment functional to the Company's management needs and characteristics.

  • The invitation to shareholders to formulate, in line with the benchmark evidence, a proposed remuneration to be paid to the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of Euro 45,000 per year for each Statutory Auditor and Euro 65,000 per year for the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors; this is in line with the third quartile (Euro 43,000 for Statutory Auditors and Euro 67,000 for the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors) of the market benchmark of reference companies and responds to the increased size, complexity of the business and international projection, and the commitment required to carry out increasingly complex, multi-faceted control activities that imply a much greater workload than in the past.

  • Donatella Isaia - Independent (Chairperson);
  • Giovanni Soccodato;
  • Raffaele Cappiello - Independent.

At the time of their appointment, the Board of Directors positively assessed the Independent Directors Raffaele Cappiello and Donatella Isaia as having adequate knowledge and expertise in financial matters and experience in the field of remuneration policies. The assessment of independence and professionalism requirements is also carried out annually.

3. REMUNERATION POLICY

3.1. TARGETS AND PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY

Avio’s Remuneration Policy is based on the following key principles and is defined according to the following criteria:

  • this policy seeks to attract, retain and motivate individuals of high professional standing, with particular regard to key positions for the development and management of the business, through a remuneration structure which recognises the value of the individual and their contribution to company growth.
  • the link with the Company's performance and strategy: the remuneration recognises the achievement of individual and corporate performance targets, referring to quantitative economic-financial indicators consistent with the targets set by the Company's industrial, business and sustainability plan. Targets are set and measurable, and rewards are attributed according to the level of performance achieved.
  • the alignment of the interests of Company management with the pursuit of the target to create value for the shareholders and stakeholders of Avio over the long-term through an appropriately balanced system of fixed and variable components, on the basis of the strategic targets and the risk management policy of the Company, and the setting of limits for the variable components which also reward results which exceed the assigned targets, the integration of targets with the sustainability strategy of the Company.

3.2. REMUNERATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYEES

Avio's Remuneration Policy contributes to the attainment of the Company's mission, values and strategies, taking into account the remuneration and conditions of Group employees, through:

  • a fair and inclusive approach to all Company employees, to promote equal opportunities and recognise skills;
  • a reward system that recognises individual contributions and the responsibilities of the role covered, and takes into account market benchmarks, in line with the "weighting" of positions within the organisation;
  • a structured remuneration package that takes into account employees' needs and the annual remuneration benchmarks prepared by the Company.
  • initiatives to support employees' purchasing power.

During 2025, the Avio People Caring initiative continued, the well-being agenda dedicated to all employees and based on four key pillars: Physical, Emotional, Financial and Social. The initiative is aimed at ensuring well-being in the company by encouraging employee creativity and productivity through a series of activities to improve daily life.

On February 21, 2025, the Company obtained the Certification on Gender Equality, confirming Avio's ongoing commitment to enhancing and promoting equal opportunities in all aspects of labour relations.

3.3. OUTLINE OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY

The Remuneration Policy provides that the fixed and variable components (this latter in turn split between short and medium/long-term) are established on the basis of principles and processes according to the beneficiary category.

The Company in any case considered it appropriate to create a remuneration system based on the Executive/managerial responsibilities of the parties concerned and therefore independently set the criteria for determining the remuneration of:

(i) Directors, and more specifically:


Teleborsa: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED

(a) Non-Executive Directors;
(b) Executive Director;
(ii) Board of Statutory Auditors;
(iii) Senior Executives.

Avio’s perimeter of Senior Executive includes four Executives, namely the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Director of Engineering, and the Programme Director.

(i) DIRECTORS

All Directors receive a fixed remuneration which appropriately compensates the work and commitment they provide to the Company.

On April 28, 2023, the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to award each Director, for the years 2023-2025, a gross annual remuneration of Euro 40,000 and a gross annual remuneration of Euro 130,000 to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, in line with market practices referring to the company size and complexity highlighted in 2023.

On May 9, 2023, the Board of Directors also resolved to award the members of the internal Board Committees the following fees, in line with market practices, for the 2023-2025 mandate:

(i) to the members of the Control and Risks Committee, a gross annual fee for the Chairperson of Euro 30,000
(ii) and for the other members of Euro 15,000 each;
(iii) to the members of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and the Sustainability Committee - a gross annual fee for the Chairperson of Euro 25,000 each and for the other members of Euro 10,000 each.

Within the scope of its prerogatives, the 2026 Shareholders’ Meeting will decide on the remuneration of the administrative body for the 2026-2028 term of office, pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 1. Upon the proposal of the Committee in charge of remuneration, having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, and in compliance with the regulations on related party transactions, the Board of Directors to take office after the 2026 Shareholders’ Meeting will deliberate, to the extent within its remit, on remuneration pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, subject to compliance with the guidelines of this Policy, prepared in accordance with market best practices for companies comparable to Avio and with the Company’s strategic and long-term objectives.

(a) NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

The Non-Executive Directors (whether independent or not) are granted a fixed remuneration, the overall amount of which is established by the Shareholders’ Meeting, allocated on an individual basis by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389 of the Civil Code.

The remuneration of these Directors is commensurate with the commitment required, also in relation to participation on internal Board Committees, for which specific remuneration is allocated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the fixed components, the Company may provide for the future adoption of a Plan based on equity instruments, subject to the publication of a special Prospectus pursuant to Articles 114-bis of the CFA and 84-bis of the Issuers’ Regulation, ensuring in all cases compliance with the provisions of applicable regulations, self-regulation and best practices.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at its meeting of March 12, 2026, upon the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and in view of the renewal of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors currently in office resolved to invite the Shareholders to formulate a proposal to revise the remuneration pursuant to Article 2389 paragraph 1, setting them at Euro 225,000 for the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Euro 55,000 for each Director. This remuneration is

CERTIFIED

above the median (Euro 189,000 for the Chairperson and Euro 41,000 for the Directors) but below the third quartile (Euro 267,000 for the Chairperson and Euro 63,000 for the Directors) of the benchmark carried out on a sample of companies belonging to the same stock market segment as Avio, i.e. the FTSE Italia Mid Cap, which comprises the second 60 stocks in terms of capitalisation on the Italian Stock Exchange. The level thus determined is deemed appropriate to ensure the availability of functional skills and commitment to the Company's management needs and characteristics considering the Company's increased business complexity, increased international exposure, and the need for additional and more sophisticated skills, as already expressed in the guidance opinion.

The Board of Directors to take office after the Shareholders' Meeting of April 28, 2026 will also resolve on the establishment of the internal Board committees; upon the proposal of the Committee in charge of remuneration and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors, it will also establish the fees for participation in the internal Board committees, in compliance with the guidelines of this Policy.

In accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors to take office following the Shareholders' Meeting of April 28, 2026 will, at its first meeting, establish among its members a number of committees with investigative, propositional, and advisory functions, such as, indicatively, the Control and Risks Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

Following the establishment of these committees and the appointment of their members, the Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the newly established Committee in charge of remuneration, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors and in compliance with the regulations on related party transactions, will deliberate on the additional remuneration to be awarded to the members of these committees.

This remuneration will be determined in full compliance with the principles and guidelines set forth in this Remuneration Policy and will take into account the following factors:

  • Commitment Required: The number of meetings scheduled and the complexity of the subjects covered by each committee.
  • Skills and Experience: The specific professionalism required of members of the various committees.
  • Market Practices: Remuneration for committee membership in companies comparable by industry and size, including with reference to national and international benchmarks, as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code

(b) EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

The remuneration of the Executive Director (Chief Executive Officer/General Manager) is adequately balanced between short-term development targets and the sustainable creation of value for Shareholders over the long-term period.

Specifically, the Executive Director's remuneration structure is made up of:

  • a fixed component: this component takes into account the breadth and strategic relevance of the role played and the distinctive subjective characteristics and strategic skills of the managers assigned to the role. The amount is sufficient to remunerate the service also in the case of the partial reaching of the performance targets upon which the variable remuneration component is based, and therefore - among other issues - discourages the undertaking of conduct not consistent with the risk propensity of the company. More specifically, the fixed component is calculated according to the size of the business managed, the various areas of responsibility covered, Avio Group's complex corporate structure, including internationally, also taking account of market practice taken from benchmarks.
  • a short-term variable component: the purpose of this component is to encourage management to work towards the achievement of annual targets that maximize the Avio Group's value, in line with shareholders' interests. This component is conditional upon reaching a minimum performance threshold with respect to the annual targets set by the Board of Directors, upon proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The indicators used to define the annual business performance targets (and to calculate the actual amount of the short-term variable component) are the Group's financial and earning parameters, as described below.

21


Teleborsa: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket
Fair Storage
CERTIFIED

This Policy establishes the following parameters for quantifying the annual variable component for the position of Chief Executive Officer/General Manager:

  • Target value: The value of the component, where the targets are fully achieved, is set at an amount equal to 90% of fixed remuneration.
  • Maximum Value (Cap): The maximum value payable, in the event of over-performance, may not exceed 138% of fixed remuneration.

The payment of purely discretionary bonuses is not envisaged.

  • a long-term variable component: this component seeks to incentivise Executive Directors to maximise the value of the Group and to align their interests with those of the shareholders. The payment of this remuneration will be deferred to the conclusion of a three-year timeframe, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions (as per the following paragraphs) measured over a multi-year period.

The long-term incentive plan, the principles of which are defined in this Policy, includes the following remuneration parameters:

  • For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager: the value of the target bonus is set at 120% of fixed remuneration, with a maximum value (cap) payable equal to 180% thereof.

  • fringe benefits: fringe benefits provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations. In particular, the Executive Director of Avio, in addition to the benefits under the Industry Executives Collective Bargaining Agreement, is assigned three company cars and supplementary life and total and permanent invalidity accident insurance.

For a description of the short-term variable component and of the long term component of the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, reference should be made to Paragraph 3.4.

On March 12, 2026, following a proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in view of the upcoming renewal of the corporate bodies, the Board of Directors considered the proposal to review the overall remuneration package for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, in view of the benchmarking analysis carried out with the help of an independent advisor and based on a new panel of companies comparable in sector and size, and the need to ensure an attractive remuneration offer in a particularly competitive environment, aligning it with the first quartile of the panel⁵, as follows:

  • fixed remuneration: increase to Euro 575,000 from Euro 500,000 as provided under the previous mandate; this value may also be reassessed in the short/medium term in line with the company's positioning against the panel of benchmark companies;
  • short-term variable component: the value of the target incentive as a percentage of fixed remuneration is set at 90%;
  • long-term monetary variable component: the value of the target allocation as a percentage of fixed remuneration remains unchanged from the value established in the previous year, at 120%;
  • Overall total target remuneration ranks below the top quartile of the new benchmark market panel of firms.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the fixed and variable components for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, the Company may provide, in compliance with the statutory procedures and applicable regulations, for the possibility of participation in equity incentive instruments where approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, subject to the publication of an appropriate Prospectus.

(ii) BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS

⁵ As part of the Committee’s investigative functions, the benchmark analysis highlighted that the remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager in 2025 was lower than the median of the companies included in the Peer Group.


Teleborsa: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket with storage CERTIFIED

All the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors receive a fixed remuneration which appropriately compensates the work and commitment provided by the Statutory Auditors to the Company.

The Shareholders' Meeting held on April 28, 2023 resolved, for the 2023-2025 three-year period, to grant to the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors a remuneration of Euro 55,000 per year and to the Statutory Auditors a remuneration of Euro 38,000 per year, in line with the practices of the listed companies of the STAR segment with levels of capitalisation comparable to Avio.

On April 28, 2026, the Shareholders' Meeting will be called to appoint the Board of Statutory Auditors for the financial years 2026-2028, establishing upon appointment the corresponding remuneration. Taking into account the changed complexity of Avio's business and the commitment required of the Control Board, the Board of Directors in office as of today's meeting on March 12, 2026 resolved to invite the Shareholders to formulate a proposal to revise the remuneration to the third quartile of the benchmark carried out on a sample of companies belonging to the same stock market segment as Avio, i.e. the FTSE Italia Mid Cap, which comprises the second 60 stocks in terms of capitalisation on the Italian Stock Exchange. The results of the benchmarking thus lead to the proposal of remuneration of Euro 65,000 for the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors and Euro 45,000 each for the two Statutory Auditors.

(iii) SENIOR EXECUTIVES

The remuneration of Senior Executives is structured so as to focus management on company results and the creation of value.

The remuneration of Senior Executives is composed of:

  • a fixed component: this component takes into account the breadth and strategic relevance of the role played$^{6}$ and the distinctive subjective characteristics and strategic skills of the beneficiary, in addition to market practice for comparable positions. The amount is sufficient to remunerate the service also in the case of the non-reaching of the performance targets upon which the variable remuneration component is based;

  • a short-term variable component: the purpose of this component is to encourage management to work towards the achievement of annual targets that maximize the Avio Group's value, in line with shareholders' interests. This component is conditional upon reaching a minimum performance threshold with respect to the annual targets set by the Board of Directors, upon proposal by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The indicators used to define the annual business performance targets (and to calculate the actual amount of the short-term variable component) are the Group's financial and earning parameters. Each Executive is also assigned individual targets specifically related to specific areas of responsibility, measured according to predominantly quantitative, financial and earnings indicators, or operating indicators. In determining the short-term variable component, the achievement of business results and individual/area/function results are therefore combined.

The value of the annual variable component for Avio Senior Executives is 30% of the fixed remuneration on achievement of targets, with a maximum amount (capped) of 50% of the fixed remuneration. No forms of discretionary variable remuneration are envisaged.

  • a long-term variable monetary component: this component seeks to incentivise Senior Executives to operate with the aim of maximising the value of the Group and aligning their interests with those of the shareholders. The payment of this remuneration will be deferred to the conclusion of a three-year timeframe, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions measured over a multi-year period.

$^{6}$ Any fees from participation as a Director of a subsidiary or investee company may be subject to the criterion of reversibility or waiver.

For Senior Executives, excluding the COO - for whom a target bonus of 60% and a maximum of 90% is provided - the value of the target bonus, subject to approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting, is 35% of fixed remuneration, with a maximum value of 52.5%.

  • fringe benefits: fringe benefits provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations. In particular, the Senior Executives of Avio, in addition to the benefits under the Industry Executives Collective Bargaining Agreement, are assigned a company car and/or accommodation and supplementary life and total and permanent invalidity accident insurance.

For the description of the short-term variable component and the long-term variable component for Senior Executives, reference should be made to Paragraph 3.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the fixed and variable components for SEs, the Company may provide for the future introduction of a Plan based on equity instruments, subject to the publication of a special Prospectus pursuant to Articles 114-bis of the CFA and 84-bis of the Issuers’ Regulation.

3.4. VARIABLE REMUNERATION COMPONENT

The variable remuneration system of Avio includes a short-term variable component and a medium/long-term variable component.

3.4.1 SHORT-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT

The annual incentive system provides for the payment of a monetary bonus on the reaching of the pre-set annual targets. This system is reviewed every year by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, which proposes to the Board of Directors the targets for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and the Senior Executives, identifying the metrics.

The beneficiaries of the system are, in addition to the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and the Senior Executives, Avio’s managers and professionals.

The value of the target bonus is based also on the level of responsibility of the role, according to pre-set “brackets”; each beneficiary, depending on their bracket, is assigned a variable target bonus expressed as a percentage of the fixed remuneration on achieving the pre-set targets; a maximum amount is established where the targets are exceeded.

The right to receive the variable bonus is conditional upon achieving a minimum performance threshold with respect to the Group’s predetermined economic and financial objectives, measured in terms of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Financial Position.

The choice of the two economic-financial indicators allows for a balanced reflection of the Company’s economic and financial performance, in line with the practices of the benchmark. Specifically, the Adjusted EBITDA expresses the capacity to generate profits independently of any non-recurring effects attributable to a single year; the Net Financial Position expresses the ability to maintain the net cash position within the value pre-set for the reference year.

For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, the bonus is exclusively linked to company objectives in terms of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Financial Position, establishing:

  • a minimum performance level (threshold⁷), on reaching which 48% of fixed remuneration is paid; no bonus is paid below the threshold level. The minimum is 85% of the target value for Group Adjusted EBITDA and 85% for the Group Net Financial Position parameter;
  • a target performance level, on the achievement of which the target bonus of 90% of the fixed remuneration is recognised;
  • a maximum performance level, on achievement of which the maximum value of the relative bonus,

⁷ Specifically, the performance target for the Adjusted EBITDA is defined in line with that disclosed to investors on March 12, 2026, on the occasion of the presentation of the 2025 financial results, and with the guidance for 2026.

CERTIFIED

equal to 138% of the fixed remuneration (cap), is recognised. The maximum performance level is 115% of the target value for Group Adjusted EBITDA and 115% for the Group Net Financial Position parameter.

The following table shows the link between targets and the bonus for achieving the minimum, target and maximum targets for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager (the value of the bonus is expressed as a % of fixed remuneration).

Target Description Weighting Performance scenarios Bonus (% GAR)
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) is a measure of the Company's profitability that is not affected by non-recurring items 50% Minimum Budget target - 15% 48%

Target Budget target 90%
Maximum Budget target +15% 138%

Given the confidential nature of the economic and financial targets, it is not possible to provide a greater level of detail of individual ex-ante parameters. Various economic and financial performance targets, and their minimum and maximum ranges, are, however, subject to market disclosure, and can be found in the related press releases. Upon the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors may revise the minimum threshold of the Adjusted EBITDA parameter when finalising results, taking into account the possible negative impacts - which are currently difficult to determine - caused by increased energy costs as a result of war and geopolitical tensions.

Section II of the Report provides a detailed summary of the results achieved.

For Senior Executives, the bonus is linked for 50% to company objectives (Adjusted EBITDA, Net Financial Position) and for 50% to individual objectives: between four and five specific management objectives, linked to economic-financial indicators or annual operating indicators. In determining the overall individual performance, each target is assigned a differing weight.

The annual target for the theoretical bonus for Senior Executives is 30% of the fixed remuneration on achieving the target targets; the maximum amount (capped) is 50% while the minimum amount is 8% (corresponding to the individual and corporate threshold value below which no bonus is earned).

Target 30%
Maximum 50%
Individual objectives Qualitative targets, e.g. assessment of managerial qualities, team management. 10% Minimum 8%
Target 30%
Maximum 50%

In the event of failure to achieve the economic-financial targets, no bonuses are paid, not even for the part relating to the specific function or individual targets.

Upon the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors may revise the minimum threshold of the Adjusted EBITDA parameter when finalising results, taking into account the possible negative impacts - which are currently difficult to determine - caused by increased energy costs as a result of war and geopolitical tensions.

3.4.2 MEDIUM/LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT

2026-2028 Incentive plan

On March 12, 2026, the Board of Directors approved, upon the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the new Incentive Plan for the period 2026-2028 (the "Plan"), whose beneficiaries are the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, COO, Senior Executives and other Managers with strategic roles within the Company.

The Plan provides for the payment of a monetary bonus at the end of a three-year performance period, based on the degree of achievement of predetermined targets. The choice of a cash plan was also made considering the fact that Avio's top management is already directly involved in business risk through their participation in the capital of Avio, held through the investment vehicle In Orbit S.p.A., which currently represents about $1\%$ of the share capital.

The long-term incentive plan is linked to three three-year cumulative economic and financial performance indicators of the business plan and to ESG indicators: the economic and financial indicators are the three-year cumulative Reported EBITDA, the Return on Invested Capital and the Order Intake of the US Business; there are


Teleborsa: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket with storage CERTIFIED

four ESG indicators, as indicated below: (i) Gender diversity¹⁰; (ii) Gender pay gap¹¹; (iii) Energy Efficiency¹²; (iv) Employee Training¹³.

The economic and financial indicators weigh 80% overall and ESG metrics weigh 20% (5% for each of the four indicators).

The Plan’s beneficiaries will be identified at a later date and will be subject to Shareholders’ Meeting approval. They will include the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Senior Executives, and Managers with strategic impact roles for Avio identified by the Board of Directors.

With regard to the financial performance levels linked to the indicators outlined, it was decided to utilise the three-year target values of the Business Plan for 2035, already communicated to the market in September 2025. For ESG metrics, reference is made to the performance levels decided by the Board of Directors; performance targets for the Employee Training indicator are defined as a three-year average value; for the indicators Gender Diversity, Gender Pay Gap, and Energy Efficiency, the data at the end of the last year of the three-year performance period is considered.

For each of the selected indicators, there is:

Given the confidential nature of the long-term economic and financial targets, it is not possible to provide more in-depth ex-ante details. However, in its disclosures to the market, the company regularly provides qualitative indications on its multi-year outlook (which is largely in line with the Company's order book). Furthermore, Section II of the Report provides a detailed summary of the results achieved.

3.4.3 CLAWBACK

Avio's incentive plans - both short- and long-term - include a clawback clause which permits the recovery of amounts issued on the basis of manifestly erroneous or false data in the 5 years subsequent to issue.

3.4.4 EXCEPTIONS

In exceptional circumstances that may jeopardise the pursuit of the Company's long-term interests or its ability to stay in the market, as provided for in Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the CFA, and Article 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, Avio's Board of Directors, following a proposal by the Committee and in compliance with the Related Parties Procedure, may lay down temporary exceptions to the remuneration policy in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay in the market.

For the purposes of the above, "exceptional events" are defined as: (i) events of an extraordinary and/or non-recurring nature and/or not attributable to the core business of the Avio Group (including, without limitation, acquisitions or disposals of equity investments or business units) considered of particular importance and/or currently not provided for in company planning that entail a significant change in the scope of the Company or the Avio Group; (ii) significant changes in the macroeconomic and/or competitive scenario or other extraordinary factors with a significant impact beyond the actions within the management's control; and/or (iii) significant events, not only of an economic or financial nature.

In such circumstances, the elements of the remuneration policy from which the Company's Board of Directors may deviate, following a proposal by the Committee and in compliance with the Related Parties Procedure, are:

  • the targets in the incentive plans, making such adjustments as are necessary to keep the substantive and economic contents of the plan unchanged. Any changes to performance targets must safeguard the principles and guidelines according to which the plan has been formulated by not introducing undue advantages or penalties for either the beneficiaries of the plan or the Company.

4. POLICY UPON BENEFITS ON CONCLUSION OF OFFICE

For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager alone, in the case of resolution of contract by the Company or dismissal for just cause, the payment of an all-inclusive indemnity is envisaged equal to two gross annual remunerations, that is, the sum of the gross annual fixed remuneration and the short-term variable remuneration at 100% of the fixed remuneration. This value includes any penalty, indemnity (notice or additional) or other sum provided for under the law or the National Collective Bargaining Agreements for Industry Executives.

For Senior Executives, the protections established by law and set out in the relevant national collective bargaining agreements for industry executives are usually applied, which take into account the role and age of the executive at the time of termination of employment, in addition to the annual salary received. However, the Company may set remuneration in advance for the termination of employment of Senior Executives, but the remuneration for early termination of employment may correspond to no more than two years' payment of the sum of the fixed remuneration and short-term variable bonus, including mandatory contractual provisions relating to notice. There is currently an agreement in place for one of the Senior Executives governing remuneration in the event of termination of employment.

Regarding the effects of early termination of the employment relationship on long-term incentives, it is provided, as also by applicable regulations, that:

  • In the case of good leaver¹⁶, with reference to the Monetary Plan that is submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval on April 28, 2026, within the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 Performance Share Plans, as well as the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 Restricted Share Plans, there is the possibility for the beneficiary to retain the right to receive the monetary award or shares according to a pro rata temporis principle, based on the level of achievement of performance targets;
  • In bad leaver scenarios, the beneficiary will permanently and fully forfeit the right to receive the allocations - monetary or in shares - under the plans.

The Company reserves the right to enter into consulting or collaboration agreements after the termination of the employment relationship, aimed at preserving the transfer of know-how and business continuity.

The Company in addition reserves the right to sign non-competition agreements involving specific roles requiring strategic knowledge, for whom this restriction is necessary in compliance with the statutory provisions and limitations. Currently, a non-competition agreement with the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager is applicable for a total gross amount of 50% of fixed remuneration. There are no specific insurance coverage, social security and pension payments for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager following resolution of contract with the Company, except for those provided for by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Industrial Executives.

¹⁶ Good leaver scenarios include:
- removal from the office of Director prior to the conclusion of the term of office without cause;
- resignation from the office of Director if the beneficiary, without just cause, undergoes a revocation or non-confirmation of the proxies such that his or her relationship with the Company or the subsidiary is substantially altered;
- conclusion of the Company's Board of Directors not followed by renewal;
- with particular reference to Senior Executives and Managers, dismissal without just cause;
- death or disability of the beneficiary (due to illness or injury ascertained by a medical-legal expert report by a professional appointed by the Company) that entails the abstention from carrying out his or her duties for a period, continuous or non-continuous, of more than eight (8) months;
- voluntary resignation, only on the condition that the beneficiary fulfils the statutory retirement requirements and in the 30 subsequent days presents a request to access the relative benefits.

The independent audit firm has verified the preparation of Section II of the Policies.

Avio performance and incentives

The past year also marked the further consolidation of the significant results achieved during the previous 2024 fiscal year, both in the space sector and in defence.

In the space sector, the launch activities of the Vega C launcher have continued successfully, completing three different missions over the past year. On December 1, 2025, Vega C successfully completed the VV28 mission, carrying the KOMPSAT-7 (Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite-7) satellite into orbit for the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). This major achievement follows that of the VV27 and VV26 missions, which respectively concluded successfully on July 26 and April 29 of last year, placing into orbit the four CO3D satellites (Airbus), the MicroCarb satellite (CNES) and the Biomass satellite (ESA). These successful missions confirm the reliability and versatility of the Vega C launcher, and have further strengthened our partnerships with key institutional and private customers.

Meanwhile, work also continued on the Ariane 6 launchers in the year. Avio is a partner of the programme, providing the P120C solid-propellant boosters and the liquid oxygen turbopumps for the core stage Vulcain 2.1 engine and the upper stage Vinci engine. Following the March 6 and August 13 launches, Ariane 6 successfully completed missions VA265 and VA266 on November 4 and December 17, taking the Sentinel-1D and two Galileo satellites into orbit. Building on this momentum, Avio will continue to supply P120C boosters, in configurations of two or four to increase payload capacity. Furthermore, in November 2025, Avio and ArianeGroup signed a major Ariane 6 component contract worth over Euro 200 million through until 2029, including P120C/P160C boosters, and liquid oxygen turbopumps.

Our Defence activities continued to grow throughout 2025, with the Company signing over Euro 250 million in new orders. In Europe, the co-operation with the MBDA Group was further strengthened with the signing of new production orders, including those concluded in July and December for a total of approximately Euro 100 million. Meanwhile, the development of the defence business in the United States continued further, partly in preparation for the establishment of the solid propellant engine production facility in Virginia. The partnership with the US military was strengthened during the year by, for example, signing a supplementary agreement for the production, assembly, integration and testing of solid propellant engines for tactical missiles.

In 2025, Avio achieved its best historical results in terms of Net Order Backlog (Euro 2.2 billion), Revenues (Euro 542 million) and Net Cash Position (Euro 592 million). Between 2023 and 2025 Avio consolidated an annual compounded growth in Net Order Backlog, Revenues and Reported EBITDA of 26%, a figure that is very high in itself and above than the median of comparable industry companies. Market capitalisation grew from Euro 220 million at the end of 2023 to approximately Euro 1,350 million at the end of 2025 (a compound annual growth rate of about 150%). The company has no net debt and in fact enjoys a net cash position of 592 million at the end of 2025, reflecting significant financial solidity and value creation for shareholders.

Collaboration continued with Raytheon, a leading defence solutions company for the US government and its allies. A purchase order was signed with the company to continue engineering activities on the Mk 104 dual-thrust engine (supporting the Standard Missile line) up to the Critical Design Review stage, as was a memorandum of understanding to support Avio in constructing its facility in the United States. On November 10, Avio finalised an agreement with Lockheed Martin, effectively granting two of the world's leading defence players preferential access to the production capacity of the planned facility.

In terms of the main corporate indicators included in the annual incentive system, the result obtained for the Adjusted EBITDA indicator is slightly lower than the target set at the beginning of 2025, while it exceeds the maximum level for the Net Financial Position. The actual values for the two indicators over the last five years and the target value for 2025 are set out below.

Net Financial Position (€m) 57.2 74.4 76.1 90.1 591.7^{17} 26.7

As regards the Executive Director, the value of the 2025 bonus falls between the target value and the maximum value (97.2% of the fixed component). With respect to Senior Executives, the 2025 bonus value averages 36% of the fixed component.

17 The actual value, excluding the capital increase, is approximately Euro 217 million.
