  • the remuneration and incentive policies for the Board of Directors, the CEO, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the General Manager and the remaining personnel;
  • any remuneration plans based on financial instruments:
  • the criteria for determining the remuneration to be agreed in the event of early termination of the $\bullet$ employment relationship or early termination of office, including the limits established for remuneration in terms of annual instalments of fixed remuneration and the maximum amount that may result from their application".

Pursuant to the same article, the Shareholders' Meeting may also:

  • establish, pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, remuneration for members of the Board of Directors;
  • determine a total amount of remuneration for all Directors, including those assigned specific tasks.

1.2 The Board of Directors

also with the task of ensuring that the remuneration policy is adequately documented and accessible within the corporate structure".

In addition, pursuant to Article 10 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, may also determine the remuneration of Directors assigned special tasks.

At the preliminary stage, the Board uses its own internal committee (Remuneration Committee) as specified below.

1.3 The Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is an internal committee within the Parent Company's Board of Directors and provides support to the Board of Directors in defining the Group's remuneration and incentive policies. Specifically, the Committee:

  • provides advice and formulates proposals to the Parent Company's Board of Directors on the remuneration and incentive schemes of corporate officers (including executive Directors and other directors assigned specific tasks), of executives with strategic responsibilities and of the heads of the Parent Company's internal control departments and other Group companies, as well as establishes performance targets related to the variable component of remuneration;
  • $\bullet$ provides advice on determining the remuneration criteria for the remaining "key personnel" identified within the Parent Company and other Group companies in compliance with current supervisory provisions:
  • directly oversees the correct application of the remuneration rules for managers of the Parent Company's and other Group companies' internal control functions, in close collaboration with the Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • prepares documentation to be submitted to the Parent Company's Board of Directors for its decisions;
  • collaborates with other committees within the Board of Directors, in particular with the Risk Management and Internal Control Committee, where the two committees are not already identically comprised or made up of a large number of the same members;
  • ensures the Parent Company's Internal Audit, Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Risk $\bullet$ Management and Compliance units are involved in the process of preparing and monitoring the Group's remuneration policies and practices;
  • $\bullet$ monitors implementation of the decisions adopted by the Parent Company's Board of Directors and those of other Group companies regarding remuneration and voicing opinion, using information received from corporate facilities, on reaching performance targets linked to incentive plans and on verifying the other remuneration conditions envisaged;
  • discusses the results of the identification process of key personnel, using information from the competent company functions;
  • formulates proposals to the Parent Company's Board of Directors regarding the criteria for allocating stock options or shares to Directors and Group employees;
  • regarding the last point, if possible, provides interpretation on controversial cases and rectifies the $\bullet$ allocation conditions of each tranche as well as regulates the exercise of emerging rights for any transactions of an extraordinary nature on the Parent Company's capital (mergers, increases in capital for free or against payment, fractioning or grouping of shares, etc.).

The President of the Committee reports to the Board of Directors on the activities carried out, at the Board's next meeting. The Committee also assesses, at least annually, the adequacy, overall consistency and effective application of the Group's remuneration policies, and reports to the Parent Company's Shareholders' Meeting on the activities carried out.

Composition

The Remuneration Committee is made up of three members chosen from among the non-executive members of the Parent Company's Board of Directors, the majority of whom are independent. As approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting of 22 March 2016, the members of the Committee are:

  • Francesca Maderna (Non-Executive and Independent Director); $\blacksquare$
  • Daniele Santosuosso (Non-Executive and Independent Director); $\blacksquare$
  • Riccardo Preve (Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director). $\bar{a}$

The Remuneration Committee is chaired by Francesca Maderna.

Working method

The Remuneration Committee is appointed for three years and meets periodically, including by video link/telephone, whenever the need arises in relation to the tasks assigned to it.

If one or more members of the Committee are no longer in office, the Board of Directors may appoint new ones and/or replace these members.

As established by current Regulations, the President of the Parent Company's Board of Statutory Auditors, or another Standing Auditor delegated by them on a case by case basis, attends Committee meetings. Other members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may attend, as may, where issues affecting them are not on the agenda, the Parent Company's CEO and General Manager. It is also established that no Director may attend meetings of the Committee in which proposals are formulated for submission to the Board of Directors regarding their own remuneration.

The President of the Committee assesses, in relation to the matters to be discussed, the need to involve the Head of Risk Management to ensure that the incentive schemes are properly adjusted to take account of all the risks assumed by the Group, according to methods that are consistent with those adopted for risk management for regulatory and internal purposes.

The Committee may avail itself and/or request the presence of:

  • external consultants, who have expert knowledge of remuneration policies, who may also be chosen $\blacksquare$ from among the members of the Parent Company's Board of Directors, provided that these experts do not, at the same time, provide Human Resources, Executive Directors or executives with strategic responsibilities of the Parent Company and/or of the other companies of the Group with services of such significance as to compromise the consultants' independent judgement;
  • $\bar{\mathbf{u}}$ any corporate officer or employee of the Parent Company or of another Group company.

The Committee may access all company information deemed relevant for the performance of its tasks and may have autonomous use of a set of financial resources to the limit established by the Board and with the requirement of reporting on the use of funds, at least once a year, usually during the review of the Report on Corporate Governance and Shareholding Structures.

Summary minutes of Committee meetings are prepared, which are to be signed by the Members.

Remuneration Committee Meetings

In 2018 the Committee met nine times. The meetings were preceded by discussion among the members and/or by prior individual examination of documentation. The average duration of the meetings was around an hour. The Committee did not use external consultancy services.

In 2018, the members of the Committee took part in all nine meetings held.

The CEO attended the meetings where issues not pertaining to him were due to be discussed. The President of the Board of Statutory Auditors also attended more than half of the meetings and, on more occasions, other Standing Auditors also attended.

During these meetings, the Committee gave its opinion in relation to:

  • incentive schemes applied to various business units of the Bank and the Group;
  • $\blacksquare$ information on the remuneration of "key personnel":
  • $\blacksquare$ implementation of the remuneration policies approved by the Shareholders' Meeting:
  • incentive systems to be used in 2018; ٠
  • $\blacksquare$ agreement scenarios with the Trade Union Organisations regarding management of post-employment benefits advances, Group personnel treatment harmonisation, Variable Result Bonus, and the Welfare Plan:
  • $\blacksquare$ audits of the absence of conditions for applying corrective mechanisms (malus and clawback) to the determination of the variable remuneration of the CEO and the General Manager;
  • $\blacksquare$ allocation of variable remuneration deriving from 2017 results to the CEO and General Manager;
  • remuneration for executives with strategic responsibility and heads of internal control functions; $\blacksquare$
  • the key personnel self-assessment process. $\blacksquare$

During 2018, there was no need to use the financial resources available to the Committee for the performance of its duties.

1.4 The Chief Executive Officer

The CEO, as defined pursuant to Article 15 of the Articles of Association, is responsible for implementing strategic directions and business management, and makes use of General Management.

Regarding personnel management, the CEO is responsible for:

  • defining and implementing the Group's employee management process;
  • approving the employee budget, in line with the organisational structure approved by the Board of $\blacksquare$ Directors; in this regard, the CEO ensures that current and future professional/profile needs are measured and are consistent with strategic choices.

1.5 The General Manager

As per Article 17 of the Articles of Association, the General Manager implements the CEO's management directives and assists the CEO in carrying out the Board of Directors' resolutions.

Therefore, the General Manager also has the task of making proposals to the CEO regarding the contents of the employee management process.

1.6 The Control Functions

The control functions work together, each within their scope of responsibility, to ensure the remuneration and incentive policies are adequate and comply with current legislation and that they operate correctly. In particular:

  • Compliance verifies, among other aspects, that the company bonus system meets the objectives of $\bullet$ complying with regulations, the Articles of Association, as well as any codes of ethics and/or other standards of conduct applicable to the Group, so that the related legal and reputational risks are properly contained especially in relationships with customers;
  • Internal Audit checks, at least annually, that remuneration practices comply with the approved $\bullet$ policies and with legislation and regulatory context. The results and any abnormalities identified are brought to the attention of the bodies and functions responsible for possible corrective measures and assessment of significance with a view to prompt disclosure to the Bank of Italy. Every year, the results of the checks carried out are brought before the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • Risk Management works with the Remuneration Committee to ensure that the forms of incentive $\bullet$ remuneration are consistent with the risk appetite (for example with the Risk Appetite Framework) and with governance and risk management policies, and that they take into account the level of capital and liquidity necessary to carry out activities underway, even through the definition of risk indicators to use for correction mechanisms (ex ante and ex post), and gives its opinion on their proper activation. It also supports Financial Officing to determine, after approval of the financial statements by the Shareholders' Meeting, the amount of variable remuneration attributable to the CEO, the General Manager and additional potential beneficiaries of compensation plans based on financial instruments, as well as to check the conditions for the allocation of the variable remuneration.

1.7 Other facilities involved

Other Parent Company facilities involved in the preparation and implementation of the remuneration policy, also in reference to Subsidiaries, are:

  • $\bullet$ Human Resources, which, among other things, provides the support for the compliance function, ensuring consistency between the human resources management procedures and policies and the bank's remuneration and incentive systems of the Group;
  • Strategic Planning and Management Control.

1.8 Independent experts involved in preparing the remuneration policy

No independent experts were involved in the preparation of the remuneration policy.

2. Principles and purposes of the remuneration and incentive policies

The Parent Company, in exercising its management and administration powers, defines this Group remuneration and incentive policy in accordance with the characteristics of the Group and each of its subsidiaries, and in compliance with current legislation and regulatory provisions. In defining Banca IFIS Group's remuneration policy, no remuneration policy of other companies was used as a reference.

The remuneration and incentive policies are defined by the Parent Company in accordance with corporate objectives and values, with long-term strategies and with prudent risk management policies, in line with what is defined in the provisions on the prudential control process.

Banca IFIS Group's remuneration and incentive system is based on the following principles:

  • promoting sound and effective risk management, not encouraging risk-taking that exceeds the level of tolerated risk:
  • fostering the Group's competitiveness and good governance; $\blacksquare$
  • attracting and retaining within the company employees with the professionalism and skills that are $\blacksquare$ appropriate to the needs of the Group, particularly where they hold key roles within the organisation;
  • promoting compliance with all legislation and regulations, as well as transparency and fairness in $\blacksquare$ dealings with customers, discouraging any infringement and/or unfair business practice;
  • ensuring company performance is consistent with the Group's sustainable growth objectives; $\blacksquare$
  • seeking the best alignment between the interests of different stakeholders; $\blacksquare$
  • focusing attention on risk containment policies; $\blacksquare$
  • avoiding altering or undermining the risk alignment effects embedded in the remuneration $\blacksquare$ mechanisms:
  • $\blacksquare$ avoiding creating conflicts of interest.

A base fixed remuneration is set out for all employees that reflects their professional experience and their role, the market value of the role and the national collective bargaining agreement in force. This component is sufficient for a variable part to be substantially reduced or not to be paid.

For key personnel, it is also established that any interventions on the fixed component may not exceed an increase of 20% compared to the previous year's all inclusive annual salary. In consideration of the particular complexity of extraordinary corporate operations, some key personnel may receive a Role Based Allowance for a maximum 12-month period, possibly renewable. This allowance, which is configured as a predefined sum not tied to performance, must be approved by the Board of Directors on proposal from the Chief Executive Officer, after approval from the Remuneration Committee, and subsequently communicated to the interested parties by individual letter.

2.1. Main changes from the previous financial year

Following the issue of the 25th update to Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013, the remuneration and incentive policies were integrated to take into account the new forecasts contained therein. Consequently, this Report was integrated with specific reference to:

a) the policy for the identification of key personnel, which defines: the criteria and procedures used to identify key personnel as well as those for possible exclusion; the evaluation methods, the role performed by the corporate bodies and related company functions, and the monitoring and review of the identification process;

  • b) the prohibition for personnel to put into place hedging strategies, which was included to provide for: i) the obligation to require key personnel, through specific agreements, to communicate the existence or opening of custodial and administration accounts with other intermediaries; (ii) the identification of the operations and financial investments performed by key personnel for which there exists the obligation to communicate to company management;
  • c) the forecasts related to retention bonuses, non-compete agreements, and severance pay provision such as disbursements/payments made as part of an agreement between the bank and the personnel, in any office, for the settlement of a current or potential dispute (golden parachutes), clarifying that they fall under the definition of variable remuneration and are thus subject to the related rules, except as set forth in the aforementioned supervisory provisions;
  • d) the forecasts related to the minimum duration of the period in which the clawback clauses apply for key personnel, which must be a duration of no less than 5 years;
  • e) the role of human resources, which is no longer part of the control functions: this means that the remuneration of key personnel is no longer subject to the limit of one third to the ratio between variable and fixed component of remuneration.

Moreover, in confirming the possibility to recognise a Role Based Allowance for certain subjects belonging to the key personnel in consideration of the particular complexity of extraordinary corporate operations, the period related to its recognition was changed from a maximum of 18 months to a maximum of 12 months, which may possibly be renewed.

Recipients and policy related to the key personnel 3. identification process

Policy Recipients

Remuneration and incentive policies are defined for all Group personnel1, without prejudice to more detailed requirements for members of staff that have a material impact on the Group's risk profile (key personnel). These individuals are periodically identified by the Parent Company for all companies in the Group, whether or not they are subject to the policy on an individual basis, based on the criteria established in the "Policy related to the key personnel identification process"

Policy related to the key personnel identification process

In accordance with the Supervisory Provisions and with particular reference to the changes introduced with the 25th update of Circular no. 285 of December 17, 2013, the Parent Company must have a policy related to the key personnel identification process, which is an integral part of the remuneration and incentive policy, referred to in Annex 1 of this Report on Remuneration.

The policy on the key personnel identification process defines the criteria and procedures used to identify key personnel as well as those for possible exclusion; the evaluation methods, the role performed by the corporate bodies and related company functions for the preparation, monitoring, and review of the identification process.

From the self-assessment process for Group key personnel, led by Human Resources with the support of Compliance and approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on 18 January 2019, following the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, 60 individuals are identified as key personnel and fall

<sup>1 This means members of strategic supervision, management and control bodies, the Parent Company's employees and contract workers, and those of its subsidiaries.

within the following categories related to the applicable remuneration criteria. Please note that no procedure to notify the competent authority of key personnel exclusion was initiated.

  • the Group's consolidated result, before taxes for the financial year, being greater than $\epsilon$ 80 million2; $\bullet$
  • compliance with the minimum regulatory limit in force for the Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio $\bullet$ (LCR) identified on a quarterly basis in the reference year;
  • compliance with the minimum regulatory limit in force for the Group's Net Stable Funding Ratio $\bullet$ identified quarterly in the reference year;
  • the consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio greater than the Overall Capital Requirement communicated $\bullet$ by the Supervisory Body as part of the "Decisions on capital" at the conclusion of the supervisory review process (SREP), which is carried out on a regular basis.

If any one of these targets is not met, the variable component will not be paid.

The variable component will also be recognised provided that the beneficiary is still in post/employed by the Group and is not serving a period of notice for resignation or termination, at the moment of payment. An exception to this would be made for entering retirement. Payment of a variable component will also be suspended in case of ongoing disciplinary proceedings for fraud or gross negligence against the Bank or for behaviour that may lead to the individual's dismissal by just cause.

<sup>2 Elements resulting from extraordinary transactions are to be disregarded from calculations, such as: increases in capital, corporate mergers, splits, acquisitions or any other non-recurring transaction that the Board of Directors may decide on and that is likely to change the value of the indicator.

Directors' Remuneration of the Parent Company

Regarding the Board of Directors currently in office, the Shareholders' Meeting of 22 March 2016:

  • resolved to attribute to individual members, for the post of Director, fixed remuneration for each of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, in addition to reimbursement of expenses incurred in their duties;
  • resolved to give all Directors, except the President, Vice President and the CEO, an attendance fee for each meeting of the Board of Directors:
  • requested the Board of Directors to determine additional remuneration for Directors assigned special tasks in accordance with Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code for each of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, also considering, where appropriate, company results, subject to a total amount calculated for each financial year, understood as including all fees awarded to members of the Board.

Statutory Auditors Remuneration of the Parent Company

Regarding the Board of Auditors, the Shareholders' Meeting of 22 March 2016:

  • agreed to pay the President and the two Standing Auditors a fixed annual fee, as well as reimbursing $\bullet$ expenses sustained in the performance of their duties;

Directors' Remuneration of the Subsidiaries

Without prejudice to the principle that the members of the Board of Directors who perform other roles within the Group as employees of the Parent Company do not normally receive any compensation or, if received, it is transferred to the Parent Company, the Shareholders' Meeting of the individual subsidiary company, determines the remuneration of its directors in respect of an overall maximum limit not exceeding 50% of the total amount of compensation that can be assigned to the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company.

In particular, it should be noted that with some members of the Board of Directors of FBS S.p.A. and of FBS RE S.p.A. collaboration agreements have been signed that provide for the payment, in addition to a fixed remuneration, also of a variable compensation linked to the achievement of the consolidated gross profit target 2019 (of FBS SpA and FBS RE S.p.A.) assigned.

Without prejudice to the principle that for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors no incentive mechanisms are provided and any form of variable remuneration is precluded, the Shareholders' Meeting of the individual subsidiary determines the remuneration of its Board of Statutory Auditors in respect of an overall maximum limit not greater than 50% of the total amount of compensation assigned to the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Parent Company

Parent Company's Chief Executive Officer and General Manager's remuneration

The CEO's remuneration includes, in addition to a fixed recurring fee, a variable component of 1.5% (the percentage) of the Group's consolidated result before taxes for the financial year, for the part exceeding $\epsilon$ 80m3, which is, in turn, adjusted to the ratio between the Group's final RORAC4 (return on risk adjusted capital) and the Group's5 future RORAC6, shown at formula (A):

$$
Variable = 1.5\% \times (Profit Before Taxes_{Fin.Year.} - 80,000,000) \times \frac{Actual RORAC}{Forecasted RORAC}
$$
(A)

The ratio of variable component to fixed component may not exceed a maximum of 1:1.

The General Manager's remuneration consists of an all inclusive annual salary (RAL) and a variable component of remuneration equal to 0.75% (the percentage) of the Group's consolidated result before taxes for the financial year, for the part exceeding $e80m$ , which is, in turn, adjusted to the ratio between the Group's final7 RORAC8 (return on risk adjusted capital) and the Group's future RORAC9, shown at formula (B):

$$
Variable = 0.75\% \times (Profit Before Taxes_{Fin,Year.} - 80,000,000] \times \frac{Actual RORAC}{Forecasted RORAC}
$$
(B)

The ratio of the variable component to fixed component may not exceed 60% of the all inclusive annual salary (RAL).

Remuneration of the Control Functions and the Human Resources function

The remuneration package for key personnel belonging to the control functions (Risk Management, Compliance, Internal Audit, Anti-Money Laundering, and Financial Reporting Officer) and to Human Resources is made up of a main fixed component and a small variable part which is attributed annually based on quality and efficiency criteria.

During recruitment, subject to consultation with and proposal by the Remuneration Committee, determination of remuneration is the responsibility of:

  • the Board of Directors for the key personnel of the control functions that work for it or for the Chief Executive Officer. For operational fluidity requirements, the Board of Directors, when analysing possible candidates, in consultation with the Remuneration Committee, may delegate negotiation to the CEO, indicating the reference parameters. After formalisation, the CEO informs the Remuneration Committee and the Board:
  • CEO for the key personnel of Human Resources. Following definition, the CEO informs the $\bar{\mathbf{r}}$ Remuneration Committee and the Board.

At least annually, the Remuneration Committee analyses individual positions and, in consultation with the CEO and the General Manager, regarding the Heads of control functions and of Human Resources function, expresses its opinion and formulates proposals to the Board of Directors.

Allocation of the variable component is subject to prior quality evaluation that can be expressed on a scale of five levels of judgment and includes information on the following objectives:

  • managing assigned projects and quality of service provided;
  • management and development of assigned resources; $\blacksquare$
  • care and prevention of the risks inherent in their own areas of responsibility; ×
  • management and administration of assigned tasks.

Each grading equates to a percentage of variable component to be allocated according to the following scale:

Excellent Good Average Below Average Jnsatisfactory
100% of premium 80% of premium 50% of premium $0\%$ $0\%$

up to the maximum ratio between the fixed and variable components which, for key personnel belonging to business control functions only, cannot in any case exceed the ratio of 1:3.

Subject to the conditions to access the variable component (gate), depending on the targets of corporate sustainability, incentive mechanisms linked to the performance of both Banca IFIS and the Group as a whole are excluded from determining the remuneration of key personnel belonging to control functions and Human Resources function.

Remuneration of other key personnel at Group level

Remuneration for remaining key personnel is made up of an all inclusive annual salary (RAL) and a variable component defined in advance for each individual, in relation to their role, based on predefined criteria and on three pillars:

  • a qualitative performance assessment carried out jointly by the CEO and the General Manager; $\blacksquare$
  • $\blacksquare$ reaching a determined level of corporate cost/income ratio;
  • reaching specific economic, commercial and operating objectives and satisfying internal and external customers inclusive of corrective risk measures (MBO – Management by Objectives).

Once the limit on the ratio between the variable and fixed components of the previous year has been defined, the maximum theoretical amount of variable component will be determined as in Table B, below:

For those belonging to the categories regarding the subsidiaries, whose roles are identified in Table (A), refer to previous paragraph 4.

To implement the management process shown above, relevant company Regulations were issued, aimed at managing the system as it has been designed.

The Remuneration Committee has a consultative role in determining the remuneration criteria that are subject to annual examination by the Board of Directors.

Subsequent work on fixed and/or variable remuneration is defined by the CEO and the General Manager under the criteria specified below. At least annually, the CEO informs the Remuneration Committee on the decisions taken.

Structure of variable component for key personnel

The structure of the variable component of remuneration must be compatible with the risk analysis undertaken by the Banking Group and, to be sustainable, it must be compatible with the levels of capital and liquidity in the medium- and long-term.

It should be noted that the regulations contained in the 25th update of Circular no. 285 on remuneration introduced some changes, among others, in relation to the balancing of the deferred component of variable remuneration, defining the concept of a particularly high variable remuneration amount10 in the presence of which, at least for the top figures, (i) the duration of the deferral period is not less than 5 years, (ii) more than 50% of the deferred portion is composed of financial instruments and iii) the percentage to be deferred is not less than 60%.

In compliance with the aforementioned legislation, the particularly high variable remuneration amount with reference to the Group was identified as $\epsilon$ 433,680 (equal to 25% of the average total remuneration of Italian high earners, as shown in the most recent report published by the EBA).

The Banca IFIS Group is attributable, on the basis of the size of the assets, of the structure, of the risk and complexity of the activity carried out, to the definition of intermediate-sized banks. This classification requires the application of the regulations only to the key personnel, at the same time allowing the application of

<sup>10 High variable remuneration amount means the lowest between: i) the 25% of the average total remuneration of Italian high earners, as reported in the most recent report published by EBA; ii) 10 times the total avarage remuneration of the personnel of the bank.

percentages, deferral and retention periods at least equal to half of those indicated for larger banks and growing according to the characteristics of the banking group.

Given the above, the Banca IFIS Group considered it necessary to maintain the conditions set forth in the previous Remuneration Report, which prescribe a structure of variable remuneration which is stricter than the minimum regulatory limit set for intermediate banks. Among other things, it was decided to align the deferred portion, the deferral period and the balancing portion of the variable remuneration for persons with variable remuneration of a particularly high amount to those already envisaged with regard to all the key personnel.

The variable component may not exceed a 1:1 ratio compared to the fixed component and is determined when the financial statement to 31 December of the previous year is approved.

  • A) The portion of variable component of remuneration to be deferred is 40%, and is paid in this manner:
  • 50% in Banca IFIS S.p.A. shares, which will be allocated after the three-year vesting period expires11 and which will be exercisable at the end of further one-year retention period12 affecting the shares;
  • the remaining 50% of the deferred variable component of remuneration will instead be paid in cash at the $\sim$ end of the three-year period and is subject to annual revaluation at the current legal rate.

B) The variable component of remuneration not subject to deferral (the remaining $60\%$ – up-front) will instead be paid:

  • $\bullet$ $50\%$ in cash:
  • the remaining 50% in shares in the Parent Company, which will be exercisable at the end of the threeyear retention period13 affecting them, in line with the strategic planning horizon.

The number of shares to be assigned is determined by taking the average market price in the month preceding the determination of variable component as the share's fair value. The variable component is calculated on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the financial statement. The number of shares is determined by rounding to the nearest integer.

In line with best market practices, it is appropriate to apply the same rules for deferral and partial payment in Bank treasury shares where the variable remuneration is greater than $\epsilon$ 70,000 (materiality threshold).

Malus condition

The variable component is subject to the following malus mechanisms, which reduce the previously determined amount until it reaches zero before provision, according to the criteria listed in Table C, below. TABLE C

Ratio Totale Fondi propri consolidato -
$\leq$ = 12,50% 12,50% < = 13,00% 13,00% = 13,50% > 13,50%

Notwithstanding what is set out in the reference national collective bargaining agreement regarding the rights and obligaitons of employees and in the Disciplinary Code and Code of Ethics in force, the variable component will also be cancelled if the individual has caused or is involved in causing:

  • violations of the obligations imposed under article 26, or when the subject is an affected party, of article 53, paragraphs 4 et seq., of the Italian Consolidated Banking Law (TUB/CBA) or of the obligations regarding remuneration and incentive schemes:
  • $\blacksquare$ behaviour contrary to legislation, regulatory provisions, the Articles of Association or any Code of Ethics or Code of Conduct applicable to the Bank, which results in a significant loss for the Group15 or its customers16.
  • further behaviour contrary to legislation, regulatory provisions, the Articles of Association or any Code of Ethics or Code of Conduct applicable to the Bank in cases set out by it;
  • fraudulent behaviour or serious negligence causing damage to the Group; $\blacksquare$

or also where:

  • the consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio17 is lower than the Overall Capital Requirement $\mathbf{r}$ communicated by the Supervisory Body as part of the "Decisions on capital" at the conclusion of the supervisory review process (SREP), which is carried out on a regular basis;
  • × the Shareholders' Meeting has decided to revoke an office for just cause, or the Board of Directors has decided to terminate an employment contract for just cause.

The ex post correction mechanisms cannot lead to an increase in the initially recognized variable remuneration or to the variable remuneration previously reduced or made null following the application of malus.

The above criteria are audited in each of the three financial years18 following the determination of the variable component (accrual period) and are applied on occurrence of the above-mentioned conditions, taking into consideration the worst result recorded in the reference period.

Clawback

Notwithstanding what is set out in the reference national collective bargaining agreement regarding the rights and obligations of employees and in the Disciplinary Code and Code of Ethics in force, the Group reserves the right to take appropriate actions for the return of the variable component recognised and/or paid to personnel when the individual has caused or contributed to causing:

violations of the obligations imposed under Article 26 CBA/TUB or, when the individual is an interested party, under Article 53, paragraphs 4 et seq., of CBA/TUB or obligations regarding remuneration and incentive schemes;

&lt;sup>15 Loss equal or exceeding 5% of net equity

&lt;sup>16 The Parent Company identifies as a "significant loss" for customers, any loss deriving from deviant or non-compliant behavior with respect to the legal, regulatory, statutory or ethical standards applicable to the Group. In particular, reference is made to cases of internal fraud, complaints accepted due to incorrect behavior, intentional failure to comply with the delegation system, if these cases have effects on customers. It is understood that in case of the occurrence of these events, all the investigations required by the disciplinary procedures provided for by the law and by the National Collective Labor Contract of reference applicable to these cases will be carried out and, should the conditions be satisfied, the more appropriate disciplinary measures will be applied depending on the severity found and the extent of the loss suffered...

&lt;sup>17 EU Regulation no. 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV).

&lt;sup>18 If these conditions are met in at least one of the three years under observation (accrual period), the corrective mechanisms will be applied.

  • behaviour contrary to legislation, regulatory provisions, the Articles of Association or any Code of $\blacksquare$ Ethics or Code of Conduct applicable to the Bank, which results in a significant loss for the Group19 or its customers20.
  • further behaviour contrary to legislation, regulatory provisions, the Articles of Association or any Code of Ethics or Code of Conduct applicable to the Bank in cases set out by it;
  • fraudulent behaviour or serious negligence causing damage to the Group; $\bar{\mathbf{u}}$

or also where a consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio21 is lower than the Overall Capital Requirement communicated by the Supervisory Body as part of the "Decisions on capital" at the conclusion of the supervisory review process (SREP), which is carried out on a regular basis.

The ex post correction mechanisms cannot lead to an increase in the initially recognized variable remuneration or to the variable remuneration previously reduced or made null following the application of claw back.

The above criteria are audited in each of the three closed financial years22 (accrual period) following determination of the variable component, and are applied if the above conditions are met, except for key personnel, for whom this audit must be carried out in each of the following five closed financial years.

Long Term Incentive

For Heads of business units with more than $620m$ gross budget profit in the 2019 financial year, an incentive can be considered that rewards consistent excellent performance over time.

Essentially, if, during the three-year period 2019-2021 (accrual period), the average profitability results adjusted to the risk achieved by business units is at least 90% of the budgeted results, as at formula (D):

$$
\sum_{t=1}^{3 \text{ year}} \frac{1}{3} \frac{Actual \, BU \, RORAC_t}{Budgeted \, BU \, RORAC_t} \ge 90\%
$$
\n(D)

without prejudice to the yearly passing of the minimum threshold of 80% of budget objectives set out annually, the CEO, together with the General Manager, will give a qualitative assessment on the Manager's work, which, if positive, will give rise to the payment of an incentive, defined in advance, not exceeding 60% of the Manager's all inclusive annual salary (RAL) for 2021, and still respecting the maximum ratio of 1:1 between fixed and variable components, whose value will be paid in Parent Company shares with one-year retention period.

Ban on hedging strategies

Individual employees are strictly forbidden to carry out hedging or insurance strategies on remuneration or on other aspects that may alter or influence the effects of business risk alignment inherent in the remuneration mechanisms applied.

&lt;sup>19 Loss equal or exceeding 5% of net equity, to be calculated net of elements deriving from extraordinary operations such as: capital increases, company mergers, demergers, acquisitions or any other non-recurring transaction that the Board of Directors should deliberate and appropriate change the value of the indicator.

$20$ See notice 17.

&lt;sup>21 EU Regulation no. 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV).

&lt;sup>22 If these conditions are met in at least one of the three years under observation (accrual period), the corrective mechanisms will be applied.

In particular, to ensure that its key personnel are not remunerated or do not receive payments or other benefits via methods that are contrary to the supervisory provisions regarding remuneration and incentive policies and practices, the Parent Company prepares specific individual agreements through which beneficiaries agree:

  • $\bullet$ not to use personal hedging strategies and/or take out insurance on remuneration or undertake any other initiative that may alter and/or affect and/or influence the effects of businees risk alignment inherent in the remuneration mechanisms:
  • communicate the existence or opening of custodial and administration accounts with other $\bullet$ intermediaries23 and information regarding transactions carried out each time.

The types of financial transaction and financial investment carried out by key personnel that could impact the risk alignment mechanisms and, more generally, could prevent the bank from following the supervisory provisions regarding remuneration and incentive policies and practices are only those transactions and investments in financial instruments issued by the bank, including derivatives that are underpinned by these instruments.

Other types of employees

For remaining employees, as part of the annual assessment outlined by the national collective bargaining agreement, the CEO and/or General Management may provide non-regulated one-off payments up to a maximum of three months' salary for each individual. This bonus, subject to verification of the existence of the access conditions (gate) described above, is aimed at rewarding excellent performance and/or particular or evident quality.

The variable remuneration system for the sales network is defined by the CEO, discussed with the Remuneration Committee, and communicated to the Board of Directors.

These are diversified systems of variable remuneration for people who actively create income or acquire new customers and their managers/coordinators. They must be financially sustainable and reward merit in the creation of long-lasting economic value.

With particular reference to the executive category, with a view toward harmonisation of their economic treatments, it is also stated that, for the fiscal year 2019, a Regulation providing, morover, for payment of a Welfare credit too.

Remuneration of Financial Agents

Within the category of contract workers not subject to employment contracts, particular importance is attached to Financial Agents. The Group uses an external network for out of court recovery of distressed loans and an agent network for promoting leasing products. It also uses a network of agents for the promotion and placing of contracts related to the concession of financing against authorised salary deductions and salary-backed and pension-backed loans.

Therefore, the remuneration of those individuals is defined as comprising a non-recurring component determined ex-ante with an incentivising value, and a recurring component.

Furthermore, in accordance with the Bank of Italy's Supervisory Provisions:

the total amount of the "non-recurring" component awarded to agents (the Bonus Pool) is linked to the Bank's liquidity and financial circumstances identified annually in the Remuneration report (gate);

&lt;sup>23 At present, internal custodial and administration accounts cannot be opened.

criteria have been identified for the ex-post correction of "non-recurring" remuneration for each × individual based on indicators deemed appropriate to reflect the non-fulfilment of contractually assigned tasks; correctness of behaviour, especially with customers; to contain legal and reputational risks to which the Group or Group companies may be exposed; to promote compliance with legislation and regulatory provisions; and to ensure the protection and loyalty of customers.

Remuneration of non-employee contract workers

The Group may also use non-employee contract workers whose relationships can essentially be grouped into two contractual forms:

  • $\blacksquare$ consultancy contracts:
  • continuous and coordinated collaboration contracts. $\blacksquare$

For consultancy contracts, appointments can be awarded individually outlining the type of consultancy activity, the fee (or the criteria for determining it), and its method of payment.

The remuneration for these types of contract is determined in close connection with the profit derived from the work done by the contract workers, considering their professionalism, the complexity of the service provided and the target market rates.

5. Non-monetary benefits

The employees may enjoy certain benefits, having different gradation in relation to the corporate role and/or to the service reasons.

The attribution is summarised as follows: healthcare policy, professional and extra-professional personal accident insurance, permanent disability insurance, luncheon vouchers with amounts ranging from $65.20$ to €7.00, company car (recognised for some individuals based on current internal Policy), company contributions to supplementary social security/pension plans (recognised for all employees with permanent employment contracts, with percentages that vary from 1.5% to 5% calculated on all inclusive annual salary (RAL) and/or based on profit remuneration for post-employment benefit purposes, or on the taxable income, except for some previously acquired contracts). The above benefits, since they apply to all employees, are not considered discretional.

Remuneration linked to key resources staying in the 6. company

Moreover, if there are motivated and documented reasons, remunerations linked to key resources staying in the company may be allowed, and, as such, are not linked to performance objectives. These sums that may be paid as a retention bonus comply with the provisions in Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013 ("Supervisory Provisions for banks") - 25th update of 23 October 2018, are a form of variable remuneration and as such are subject to all relevant applicable rules.

Severance $7.$ pay provision and non-compete agreement

Severance pay provision of key personnel

Group companies do not enter into agreements that govern ex-ante the possible early termination of employment relationships by the Company (Golden Parachutes), including cases of early termination of employment or where a contract is not renewed.

If payments are instead recognised and due based on rulings or in order to avoid objectively justified judgement (so-called "Severance pay provision"), the following will be taken into due consideration: performance and individual conduct of the employee in previous years24, the reasons leading to the termination of the work relationship, years of service, age, any financial impact that the compensation may have on the Banking Group's assets and liabilities and liquidity25.

At the time of recognition of payment, the proper application of the aforementioned evaluation mechanisms is assessed and documented.

The determination of the amount to be paid to Executives, in addition to the contractually agreed notice or related payments in lieu, will take into account any additional compensation whose total monthly instalments are included within the maximum limit of the monthly instalments set by the banking sector's collective bargaining agreement in force for company executives.

The payments made under this title to the remaining key personnel will be organised under the legal provisions and according to the law and applicable collective agreement in force. In determining the final compensation, due consideration will be given to: the employee's performance in previous years, the business reasons that lead to the termination of the employment relationship, length of service, age, the financial impact that this compensation may have on the Banking Group's assets sustainability and liquidity26.

In no case may the overall gross amount to be paid be greater than 3 years of gross compensation, notice period included.

All payments made under this title to key personnel are excluded from the calculation of the ratio limit between the variable component and the fixed component of remuneration to the last year of the work relationship for the different personnel categories.

The aforementioned payments are also subject to the malus and clawback conditions mentioned above, to be audited in each of the five subsequent closed years.

The definition of the amounts to be paid for the Executives and key personnel category is subject to the prior favorable opinion of the Remuneration Committee and subsequent approval of the Board of Directors.

Non-compete agreement

The company may stipulate non-compete agreements in compliance with the provisions set out in Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013 ("Supervisory Provisions for banks") - 25th update of 23 October 2018.

&lt;sup>24 For this purpose, the behaviour and violations referred to for the activation of the malus and clawback clauses described in paragraph 4 apply.

&lt;sup>25 Therefore, reference will be made to the asset sustainability and liquidity ratios such as the respect of the Group Liquidity Coverage Ratio and of the Group Net Stable Funding Ratio and the indicator of the consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio higher then capital ", to be determined as of the last available date in relation to the calculation and allocation of the aforementioned payments (see Sec. I, par. 4 "Conditions for accessing the variable component (gate)").

$3.$ Introduction

Pursuant to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, adopted in Italy by the Supervisory Provisions for Banks (Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 17th December 2013, 25th amendment, regarding Remuneration and Incentive Policies and Practices, "Bank of Italy Provisions" or "Bank of Italy Circular"), and the information to be given pursuant to Article 450 of EU Regulation no. 575/2013 (CRR), the Bank is obliged to identify on an annual basis the categories of personnel whose professional activities have a substantial impact on the Bank's risk profile.

To this end, the European legislature, with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014 (the "Regulation"), established regulatory technical standards with respect to qualitative and quantitative criteria to identify categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on an entity's risk profile.

These criteria are also set out in the Bank of Italy Circular, which requires all banks to identify the key personnel, applying the Regulation, "with the aim of tailoring the application of the entire set of rules based on the effective capacity of individual company figures to affect the Bank's risk profile" and to identify and apply "additional criteria to those established in the quoted Commission Delegated Regulation, if necessary, to identify further individuals who take key risks for the bank" (see Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 2013, Part One, Heading IV, Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 6).

To identify its key personnel, the Bank will apply Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014 of 4th March 2014. The Parent Company will apply the quoted Regulation to identify the Group's key personnel, with respect to all Group companies, whether or not they are subject to these regulations on an individual basis. The Bank will identify and apply criteria in addition to those established in the quoted Commission Delegated Regulation, if necessary, to identify further individuals who take key risks for the Group.

The department tasked with preparing the policy on the key personnel identification process, which forms an integral part of the Bank's Remuneration and Incentive Policies is the Parent Company's Human Resources department.

The Parent Company's Compliance Office, as a control department, expresses it opinion as to whether the policy on the key personnel identification process conforms and is in line with the legislative and regulatory framework.

The Risk Management department, as a control department, supports the Human Resources department, as appropriate, in checking whether the quality requirements referred to in Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation are met.

The Parent Company's Internal Audit department, as a control department, carries out post-process checks as to whether the key personnel identification process conforms with this Policy.

As part of the key personnel identification process, Group companies also play an active part, providing the Parent Company's Human Resources department with documentation and information necessary for the purpose.

The key personnel identification process is made up of the following sub-processes:

  • identify the scope of the analysis:
  • check whether the process meets the qualitative criteria referred to in Article 3 of the Regulation; $\bullet$
  • check whether the process meets the quantitative criteria referred to in Article 4 of the Regulation; $\bullet$
  • draft the Self-Assessment document and monitor it; $\bullet$
  • submit the Self-Assessment document to the Remuneration Committee and obtain approval from the Board of Directors.

Company bodies involved in approving the policies on the key personnel $3.1$ identification process

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for presenting this Policy for its subsequent approval by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company and the Shareholders' Meeting.

It is also specified that the Remuneration Committee:

(i) expresses an opinion, also using information received from competent company departments, on the results of the key personnel identification process, including any exclusions, pursuant to Section II, paragraph 6.1 of the Supervisory Provisions; (ii) provides advice and formulates proposals to the Parent Company's Board of Directors regarding remuneration for remaining "key personnel" identified within the Parent Company and other Group companies in accordance with current supervisory provisions; (iii) is responsible for preparing the documentation to be submitted to the Parent Company's Board of Directors for its decisions;

With regard to the activities pertaining to the Board of Directors, reference is made to what specified below in paragraph 3.6 of this document.

For more details on the further roles of the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meeting, as part of the remuneration policies, reference is made to the Remuneration Report (Section I, paragraphs 1.1 to 1.3).

$3.2$ Identifying the scope of the analysis

To identify the key personnel, the Parent Company's Human Resources department considers all Group personnel as a whole and also the members of the bodies with strategic supervision, management and control functions, and the Group's employees and contract workers.

The Parent Company's Human Resources department then collects and checks all internal regulations, in order to identify the roles of greater responsibility within the Group's internal organisational structure.

  • Therefore, the scope of the analysis takes particular consideration of the following roles:
  • executive and non-executive members of the Board of Directors;
  • General Managers:
  • Heads of the Control Departments:
  • Heads of the departments that report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and/or to the General Manager (including the Heads of the principal business lines and the Heads of the material company/operating units);
  • Heads of second-level organisational units; $\bar{\phantom{a}}$
  • Group contract workers.

$3.3$ Checks as to whether the process meets the qualitative criteria referred to in Article 3 of the Regulation

Once the scope of the analysis has been defined, Human Resources classifies all of the above roles into the categories referred to in Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation, if they meet the requirements. The Bank also identifies criteria in addition to those established in the quoted Commission Delegated Regulation, in order to follow the Bank of Italy's Supervisory Provisions to pay particular attention to "executive directors; general managers; joint general managers; vice general managers and similar figures; heads of major business lines, corporate functions or geographical areas; individuals who report directly to strategic supervision, management and control bodies; senior managers and senior staff of company control bodies" as well as special categories of personnel, such as "financial and insurance agents and financial advisors who are approved to offer products and services out of branch with external distribution networks". In particular, Human Resources identifies further individuals whose professional activities and safeguarded risks may have a substantial impact on the Group's risk profile, considering the responsibilities entrusted and activities carried out, managerial levels, powers and capacity to affect, individually and/or jointly, the Group's risk profile. Checks on whether or not these requirements are met will be carried out on the basis of an analysis of internal regulations.

The results of the identification process are suitably reasoned and formalised by Human Resources in the Self-Assessment document, with support, as appropriate, from the Compliance Office and Risk Management department.

$3.4$ Checks as to whether the process meets the quantitative criteria referred to in Article 4 of the Regulation

Once the key personnel have been defined on the basis of the qualitative criteria referred to in Article 3 of Commission Delegate Regulation, Human Resources will check whether or not quantitative criteria referred to

in Article 4, letters a), b) and c) of Commission Delegated Regulation are met. The results of the identification process are suitably reasoned and formalised by Human Resources in the Self-Assessment document.

3.4.1 Exclusion of key personnel

If the Bank believes that the personnel identified in implementing Article 4, paragraph 1 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014 cannot be considered as key personnel, in accordance with what is set out in paragraph 2 et seq. of the same Article, it will, via its Corporate Affairs department and with guidance from Human Resources:

i) promptly, and in any case within six months of the close of the previous financial year, notify the Bank of Italy in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014 (i.e. notify of the exclusion of personnel who earn total remuneration equal to or greater than EUR 500,000 and less than EUR 750,000). This notification is accompanied by the information identified in Appendix A referred to in Part One, Heading IV, Chapter 2, Section I of the Bank of Italy's Supervisory Provisions. This notification includes the reasons for the exclusion, providing clear evidence of the conditions on which its decision is founded and clearly distinguishing between the situations set out in letter a) and those in letter b) of Article 4, paragraph 2 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014. Exclusion lasts for one year and refers to the year following that in which the notification is sent, except for exclusions notified for the first time, which will also extend to the year in which the notification is sent. However, no new notification is required for personnel already excluded in the previous financial year, provided that the Bank has verified that there are no changes in the conditions on which its exclusion decision is founded;

ii) promptly, and in any case within six months of the close of the previous financial year, submit an advance authorisation application to the Bank of Italy as set out in Article 4, paragraph 5 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014 (i.e. authorisation for exclusion of personnel who earn total remuneration equal to or greater than EUR 750,000 or personnel who are part of the 0.3% of personnel whose total remuneration was higher in the previous financial year).

This advance authorisation application is accompanied by the information identified in Appendix A referred to in Part One, Heading IV, Chapter 2, Section I of the Bank of Italy's Supervisory Provisions. The Bank of Italy will make its decision known within 3 months of receiving complete documentation. Authorisation lasts for one year and refers to the year following that in which the application is submitted, except for exclusions authorised for the first time, which will also extend to the year in which the application is submitted.

The notification at i) and the authorisation application at ii) may, together, refer to multiple members of personnel or categories of personnel whose exclusion is founded on the same conditions, provided that the individuals for whom exclusion is requested are clearly identifiable and that the same level of information requested in accordance with this paragraph is guaranteed. Authorisation applications for exclusions relating to personnel who earn total remuneration equal to or greater than EUR 1 million (see Article 4, paragraph 5, third sentence of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014) are in any case submitted individually for each member of personnel.

3.5 Drafting the Self-Assessment document and monitoring it

Annually, under the responsibility of the Parent Company's Human Resources department, the Self-Assessment document will be drafted; this document constitutes the preparatory phase for preparing the remuneration and incentive policies for Group personnel and it contains:

  • the reference internal regulations $\bullet$
  • the qualitative and quantitative analysis in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of Commission Delegated $\bullet$ Regulation;
  • the number of personnel identified as key personnel; $\bullet$
  • the number of individuals identified for the first time; $\bullet$
  • the names and individual identifiers; $\bullet$
  • the description of their roles and responsibilities of this personnel;

a comparison with the results of the previous identification process.

The same information refers to any excluded personnel and personnel for whom an exclusion notification or application has been or will be submitted, as governed by paragraph 3.4.1.

The Parent Company's Human Resources department, with support from the Parent Company's Compliance Office, monitors whether the contents of the Self-Assessment document is in line with any organisational changes made in order to assess the need to review the document to ensure that it is in line with the organisational changes made.

Presentation of the Self-Assessment document to the Remuneration $3.6$ Committee and approval from the Board of Directors

The Self-Assessment document complete with the list of names of individuals who are key personnel will be submitted to the Parent Company's Remuneration Committee for assessment and, if its opinion is favourable, submitted to the Parent Company's Board of Directors for approval.

Following these determinations, Subsidiary Companies follow the indications received and in any case are directly responsible for the compliance with the applicable regulations and for the correct implementation of the guidelines provided by the Parent Company.
