The Remuneration Report (hereinafter the "Report") was prepared for the Banca IFIS Group (the "Group") in accordance with:

  • o article 123 ter of the CFA/TUF, entitled "Report on remuneration policies and on payments made";
  • o Article 114-bis of CFA/TUF, entitled "Disclosure of information to the market on awards of financial instruments to corporate officers, employees or contractors";

This Report also considers European regulations on the subject, in particular:

  • o Delegated Regulation (EU) 604 of 4th March 2014 that establishes the regulatory technical standards with respect to qualitative and appropriate quantitative criteria to identify personnel categories whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the body's risk profile (so-called Key Personnel or Risk Takers);
  • o Regulation (EU) 575 of 26th June 2013, referred to provisions concerning remuneration polices;
  • o Directive 2013/36/EU of 26 June 2013 (CRD IV), on remuneration and incentive policies and practices in banks and banking groups.

The provisions of the "Corporate Governance Code" and the format of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. were also considered for the Report on Corporate Governance and Shareholding Structure in accordance with art. 123 bis of the CFA/TUF.

Report Structure

Based on the current provisions, as mentioned above, this Report is divided into the following sections:

▪ Section I: aimed at illustrating the Group's remuneration policy for members of the management bodies, general managers, executives with strategic responsibilities and for members of control bodies, as well as for "Risk Takers" not falling within the scope of Article 123-ter of CFA/TUF, and the procedures used to adopt and implement this policy.

SECTION I - Remuneration and incentive policies

1. Bodies and individuals involved in the preparation, approval and implementation of remuneration policies

The main Parent Company bodies and personnel involved in the preparation and approval of remuneration and incentive policies are:

  • the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • the Board of Directors;
  • the Remuneration Committee;
  • the Chief Executive Officer;
  • the General Manager;
  • the Control Functions;
  • Human Resources;
  • Planning and Management Control.

The role of these members of personnel is described in the Articles of Association and/or in the corporate regulations as specified below.

1.1 The Shareholders' Meeting

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with Article 10 of the Articles of Association, "in addition to establishing the remuneration of the bodies it has appointed, approves:

  • 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 calculating the remuneration to be agreed in the event of early termination of the 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:

  • decide, when approving the remuneration policies, the ratio between the variable and the fixed component of individual remuneration of personnel that exceeds 100%, (1:1 ratio), but which, in any way, may not exceed the limit set forth by the applicable legal and regulatory provisions pro tempore (currently equal to 200%, a ratio of 2:1).
  • 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

The Board of Directors, according to the provisions of Article 14 of the Articles of Association, has exclusive jurisdiction over resolutions concerning "nomination, revocation and financial remuneration of members of General Management" and "remuneration and incentive policies to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting, the review, at least annually, of these policies and the responsibility for their correct implementation, 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 plans 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 of other Group companies, and establishes performance targets related to the variable component of remuneration;
  • 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 the other committees within the Board of Directors, in particular with the Risk Management and Internal Control Committee, when the two committees are not already made up of a large number of the same members guaranteeing ipso facto that collaboration;
  • ensures the Parent Company's Internal Audit, Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Risk Management and Compliance units are involved in the process of preparing and monitoring the Group's remuneration policies and practices;
  • monitors implementation of the decisions adopted by the Parent Company's Board of Directors and those of other Group companies regarding remuneration and, in particular, voicing opinion, using information received from corporate facilities, on reaching performance targets linked to incentive plans and on verifying the other remuneration payment 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 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 19 April 2019, the members of the Committee are:

  • Simona Arduini (Non-executive and Independent Director);
  • Beatrice Colleoni (Non-Executive and Independent Director);
  • Luca Lo Giudice (Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director).

The Remuneration Committee is chaired by the director Simona Arduini.

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 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;

▪ 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

During 2019, the Committee met a total of 17 times (of which 6 as part of the previous administration). 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.

During 2019, the Committee members took part in all the seventeen meetings held (except for one member who took part in 10 of the 11 meetings held during the new administration, starting from 19th April 2019).

The Chief Executive Office attended most of 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 the meetings and, on several 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;
  • information on the remuneration of "key personnel";
  • implementation of the remuneration policies approved by the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • incentive systems to be used in 2019;
  • agreement scenarios with the Trade Union Organisations regarding Group personnel treatment harmonisation, Variable Result Bonus, and the Welfare Plan;
  • audits on the absence of conditions for applying corrective mechanisms (malus and clawback) to the calculation of the variable remuneration of the CEO and the General Manager;
  • allocation of variable remuneration deriving from 2018 results to the CEO and General Manager;
  • remuneration for executives with strategic responsibility and heads of internal control functions;
  • the key personnel self-assessment process.

During 2019, 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 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. For that purpose, the Parent Company's control functions and those of subsidiaries work together and exchange important information.

In particular:

  • Compliance verifies, among other aspects, that the company remuneration system meets the objectives of complying with regulations, the Articles of Association, as well as any ethical codes 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 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 remuneration are consistent with the risk appetite (for example with the Risk Appetite Framework - RAF) and with governance and risk management policies, and that they take into account the level of capital and liquidity necessary to carry out activities under way, even through the definition of risk indicators to use for corrective mechanisms (ex ante and ex post), and gives its opinion on their proper activation. It also supports Financial Department 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, and to check the conditions for the allocation of variable remuneration.

1.7 Other facilities involved

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

  • 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;
  • • 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, on 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, effective risk management, not encouraging risk-taking that exceeds the level of tolerated risk;
  • fostering the Group's competitiveness and good governance;
  • attracting and retaining within the company employees with the professionalism and skills that are 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 dealings with customers, discouraging any infringement and/or unfair business practice;
  • ensuring company performance is consistent with the Group's sustainable growth objectives;
  • seeking the best alignment between the interests of different stakeholders;
  • focusing attention on risk containment policies;

  • avoiding altering or undermining the risk alignment effects embedded in the remuneration mechanisms;

  • 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. Considering the specific complexity, also caused by extraordinary corporate transactions, some key personnel members could be acknowledged, for maximum 12 months, possibly renewable, a role indemnity (so-called Role Based Allowance). This allowance, configured as a predefined, stable sum not tied to performance and which does not create risk assumption incentives, must be approved by the Board of Directors on proposal from the Chief Executive Officer, after approval by the Remuneration Committee, and subsequently be communicated to the interested parties by letter to each one.

On this point, please note that:

  • fixed remuneration is intended as stable remuneration, calculated and paid based on pre-set, nondiscretionary criteria - such as levels of professional experience and responsibility – that do not create incentives to take on risks and do not depend on the bank's performance. This definition also includes the role allowance foreseen by these policies;

  • variable remuneration is intended as:

  • remuneration where recognition and payment can be modified related to performance however measured, excluding severance indemnity and indemnity replacing notice, when the amount is calculated as established by law and within its limits;

  • any other form of remuneration that cannot be univocally classified as fixed remuneration.

2.1. Main changes from the previous financial year

Remuneration policies were updated through Shareholders' meeting resolution of 19th December 2019, after the Bank's new Board of Directors had been appointed on 19th April 2019; related, in particular, to provisions for the economic treatment of the CEO, treatment linked to key resources joining the company and provisions for severance indemnities.

With reference to the novelties introduced for financial year 2020, please note the following.

  • With reference to the variable remuneration for the CEO for 2020, specific objectives were set on achieving the RORAC/RORAC* indicator, where RORAC* is the RORAC resulting from the perspective objective set based on the last strategic plan approved, to be between 80% and 100%.
  • The remuneration of the General Manager has been modified to be aligned with the more challenging targets set for the CEO compared to previous years.
  • Access parameters ("gates") to the variable component have been made stricter for all personnel; risk tolerance levels are used for calculation purposes instead of the minimum

regulatory limits, enriching the parameters with asset quality indicators (e.g. NPL ratio) and introducing any normalisation factors for any technical/temporary slippage.

  • The number of shares to be assigned is calculated by considering the average share price for the three months (instead of the previous month) before calculation of the variable pay for the period - which shall occur at the date of the Shareholders' Meeting convened for approval of the Financial Statements - as the fair value of the share. The number of shares is determined by rounding to the nearest integer.
  • Moreover, related to the Provisions on the transparency of transactions and bank and financial services of the Bank of Italy – Correctness in relations between intermediaries and customers, published by the Bank of Italy with Provision of 19th March 2019 implementing the Guidelines of the European Banking Authority on remuneration policies and practices for personnel offered bank products and for third party sales network operators, the so-called "key personnel" for the Group were identified, pursuant to that regulation identifying, as part of the sales network, personnel "offering products to customers, interacting with the latter, and those they report to hierarchically".
  • Regulations related to amounts paid when the working relationship ceases have been integrated by those applicable to non-key personnel: without prejudice to conditions established by reference regulations, obligations to calculate amounts based on a pre-set formula are no longer applicable, still established for amounts referred to personnel with an impact on the risk profile of the Bank and the Group.
  • Lastly, if amounts acknowledged as remuneration linked to the key resources remaining in the company and/or non-competition agreements concern key personnel, the Remuneration Committee is suitably notified in advance in order to control and duly motivate that acknowledgement.
  • Long-term incentive plans are no longer foreseen (so-called Long Term Incentive).

Please also note that the Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 19th December 2019 also amended art. 10 of the Articles of Association and the extract is included in this Report, establishing the right for the Shareholders' Meeting to decide to raise the ratio between variable and fixed remuneration to 2:1. The Remuneration Committee has as yet not seen the need to suggest that the Board of Directors submit the request to the Shareholders' Meeting to decide to raise that variable and fixed remuneration ratio to 2:1.

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

Policy Recipients

Remuneration and incentive policies are defined for all Group1 personnel, without prejudice to more detailed requirements for members of staff that have a material impact on the Group's risk profile (so-called 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"

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

Policy related to the key personnel identification process

In accordance with the Supervisory Provisions, 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.

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's key personnel, led by Human Resources with the support of Compliance and approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on 27th February 2020 following the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, 62 individuals are identified as key personnel for the Group. Please note that no procedure to notify the competent authority of key personnel exclusion was initiated.

The aforementioned subjects are connected to specific categories with specific remuneration criteria, applicable based on a specific company Regulation for management of the key personnel incentive systems.

Besides members of the Board of Directors, the CEO and the General Manager, the following categories are identified for those purposes:

  • Executives with strategic responsibilities in key business units;
  • Executives with strategic responsibilities for control functions;
  • Executives with strategic responsibilities;
  • Heads of control functions and Head of Human Resources;
  • Heads of business units;
  • Heads of risk management facilities;
  • Heads of key operating units.
  • Heads of service, consultancy and support facilities.

The Group's key personnel accounts for 3.62% of the total workforce.

4. Contents of the 2020 Policy

Conditions for accessing the variable component (gate)

For all Personnel, access to the variable part is subject to meeting levels set by the following indicators recorded at the year end date:

• based on a correct profitability measurement for the risk, such as the RORAC (return on riskadjusted capital) established as the ratio between Net Profit and Capital absorbed by first pillar risks (i.e. 8% Risk Weighted Asset (RWA) of Pillar 1, the [RORAC/RORAC*] indicator, where RORAC* is the RORAC resulting from the perspective objective set in the last business plan approved by the Board of Directors, must not be lower than 80%. This indicator enables weighting profits for the underlying risks in terms of regulatory capital absorbed.

  • related to the tolerance level, greater than the regulatory minimum (satisfied by the "capacity") equal to 100%, of the Group's short term liquidity indicator -Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), recorded quarterly in the year of reference. The tolerance level is established every year in the Banca IFIS Group's Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) at consolidated level, in accordance with prudential supervisory regulations in force.
  • related to the tolerance level, greater than the regulatory minimum equal to 100%, for the Group's medium-long term liquidity indicator- Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The tolerance level is established every year in the Banca IFIS Group's Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) at consolidated level, in accordance with prudential supervisory regulations in force.
  • The consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio greater than the tolerance level set in the RAF in force, therefore, greater 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).
  • NPL gross ratio and NPL net ratio lower than the alarm level set for the 2020 RAF. These indicators are calculated excluding the IFIS NPL segment and their calculation will be reviewed implementing the new default definition set from 31.12.2020.

Not achieving more than one of the aforementioned parameters in two different areas, excluding the capital solvency one (i.e. consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio) and not complying with the regulatory minimums, which must be complied with all the time, will block payment of the variable component.

The variable component is also awarded as long as the beneficiary is still in office/employed by the Group and not in his/her notice period for voluntary resignation or dismissal, at the time of payment, except for retirements and the natural expiration of director mandates. 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 for just cause.

Directors' Remuneration of the Parent Company

The Shareholders' Meeting of 19th April 2019 appointed the Board of Directors for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 three-year period and, at that time, also:

  • resolved to attribute to individual members, for the post of Director, fixed remuneration for each of the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, 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 2019, 2020 and 2021, 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.

There are no incentive mechanisms for Non-Executive Directors, including the President.

Remuneration for the Statutory Auditors of the Parent Company

The Shareholders' Meeting of 19th April 2019 appointed the Board of Statutory Auditors for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 three-year period and, therefore:

  • agreed to pay the President and the two Standing Auditors a fixed annual fee, as well as reimbursing expenses sustained in the performance of their duties;
  • resolved to pay all Standing Auditors an attendance fee for each meeting of the Board of Directors.

No incentive mechanisms are available for members of the Board of Auditors and there is no form of variable remuneration.

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.

Statutory Auditors Remuneration of the Subsidiaries

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

Remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager of the Parent Company

Together with their annual fixed component and other further benefits (consistent with existing company policies and practices), the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager can accrue:

• a variable annual component with target of up to 60% of the gross annual remuneration, subordinate to control, by the Board of Directors, that the [RORAC/RORAC*]2 indicator that must be between 80% and 100% has been met; in that case, the variable component is considered as accrued as set forth in the following Table (A) that highlights how the variable remuneration can range from a minimum of 36% (=60%*target 60%) to a maximum of 60% (= 100% of the target 60%) of the gross annual remuneration:

Remuneration of the Control Functions and of 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 and compliant with Circular 285 of 17th December 2013.

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. Following formalisation, the CEO informs the Remuneration Committee and the Board;
  • of the CEO for the key personnel of the Human Resources function. Following definition, the CEO informs the 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 judgement and includes information on the following objectives:

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

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

Excellent Good Average Almost
Average/Insufficient
100% 80% 50% 0%

without prejudice to limit between the fixed and variable components which, for key personnel belonging to business control functions cannot in any case exceed the ratio of 1:3.

As was said above, to decide the compensation of key personnel belonging to control functions and Human Resources, incentive mechanisms connected to the economic results of both Banca IFIS and the Group as a whole are excluded, as is shown in the following Table (B):

For Executives with strategic responsibilities for Control Functions, for the Heads of Control Functions and for the Head of Human Resources, Qualitative Assessment is the only pillar applied.

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;
  • 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 ratio limit between the variable and fixed components of the previous year has been defined, the maximum theoretical amount of the variable component will be calculated as in Table C below, for the following subject categories:

The assessment method applied for the first two pillars (Top Management Assessment and Cost/Income Ratio) uses the same criteria for all subject categories, even if weighted differently.

To implement the management process shown above, relevant company Regulations will be issued, to manage 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/long-term.

The regulations contained in Circular 285 on remuneration introduce, related to balancing the deferred component of variable remuneration, the concept of "particularly high variable remuneration amount"3 with which, at least for top management figures, (i) duration of the deferral period is not less than 5 years, (ii) more than 50% of the deferred part is made up 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 € 337,530.80 (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. That classification requires application of the regulations to key personnel alone, while allowing application of 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 maintains a variable remuneration structure which is stricter than the minimum regulatory limit set for intermediate banks. Among other things, 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 were aligned with what is set for the other subjects included amongst key personnel. The variable component may not exceed a 1:1 ratio compared to the fixed component and is determined when the financial statements closed as at 31st December of the previous year are approved.

A) The portion of variable compensation to be deferred is 40% and is paid as follows:

  • 50% in Banca IFIS S.p.A. shares, to be allocated after the three-year vesting period expires4 and exercisable at the end of the further one-year retention period5 the shares are subjected to;
  • the remaining 50% of the deferred variable component of remuneration will instead be paid in cash at the 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:

  • 50% in cash;
  • the remaining 50% in Parent Company shares which will be exercisable at the end of the three-year retention period affecting them, in line with the strategic planning horizon.

The number of shares to be assigned is calculated by considering the average share price for the three months before calculation of the variable pay for the period - occurring at the date of the Shareholders' Meeting convened to approve the Financial Statements - as the fair value of the share. 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 €70,000 (materiality threshold).

Other types of employees

For remaining employees, as part of the annual assessment outlined by the national collective bargaining agreement (CCNL), the CEO and/or General Management may provide non-regulated one-off payments for up to a maximum of three months' salary for each individual. This bonus,

3 Particularly high variable remuneration amount means the lowest between: (i) 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 average remuneration of bank personnel

4 Period after which the shares may be assigned

5 Period during which the sale of shares is forbidden.

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.

Implementation methods for the Bank of Italy Provisions on transparency of the banking and financial transactions and services - the Group's sales network

This paragraph would like to give specific evidence of implementation of the Bank of Italy Provisions on transparency in transactions and bank and financial services - Correctness of relations between intermediaries and customers (hereinafter Transparency Provisions), published by the Bank of Italy through its Provisions of 19th March 2019 which adopted the Guidelines of the European Banking Authority concerning remuneration policies and practices related to the sale and supply of retail banking services. For that purpose, a new notion has been introduced, that of "key personnel", including personnel offering products to customers, interacting with them, as well as those the personnel report to hierarchically.

On this assumption, as required by the regulation, here below please find indication of the number of key personnel and credit brokers6 forming the Group's sales network to which the remuneration policies described in this Report shall apply.

Personnel belonging to this key personnel category total 185, of which 156 those offering products to customers and 297 those to whom the former report hierarchically. The internal sales network includes the following products /Business areas:

  • Factoring;
  • Filo Diretto phone selling;
  • Leases;
  • Pharmacies;
  • Tax Receivables;
  • CQS.

For what concerns credit brokers, the agent network counts a total of about 183 agents supporting the Lease and CQS products.

The Bank also has a total of 8 agreements with credit brokers as part of its factoring product.

Having said that, for what concerns the remuneration policies and practices for key personnel and credit brokers, they do not cause incentives that can induce the sales network to pursue its own interests or those of the Bank or to cause prejudice for customers in product offer terms. Above all, that is ensured by how the Bank's commercial units are structured. They, in turn, mirror an organisation establishing segregation and separation of the single Bank businesses. For that purpose, it also foresees structures designed and dedicated to assessing transactions, that guarantee downstream control of the sales process for what concerns collecting customer information and documents useful for assessing the credit merit and finalising the contractual relationship, consistent with the delegation system for taking on the credit risk.

The variable remuneration system for the internal sales network is defined by the CEO, illustrated to the Remuneration Committee and communicated to the Board of Directors of the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries where present. These are diversified systems of variable remuneration for

6 "Financial Agents, credit brokers as well those other than the lender who, when exercising their commercial or professional activities, finalise the lender's loan contracts or present or propose loan contracts or other preparatory activities in view of those contracts being finalised."

7 Of which 3 belonging to the key personnel category.

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.

The variable component of key personnel is suitably balanced compared to the fixed remuneration component and is also anchored to both qualitative and quantitative criteria, to the extent that the performance assessment can have an impact on the bonus amount and even zero it. Please also note that the relative bonus systems are subject to corrective mechanisms for the variable (malus/claw back clauses) that can consent to their reduction (even significant) or them even being zeroed8 .

However, there are no bonus plans foreseen for credit brokers with whom the Bank stipulates agreements. Please refer to the following paragraph for remuneration policies intended for financial agents.

Remuneration of Financial Agents

Within the category of contract workers not subject to employment contracts, particular importance is attached to Financial Agents. The Group avails itself or an external distribution network for the out-of-court collection of distressed credits, an agent network to promote leases and an agent network to promote and place contracts granting loans against delegation of payment and against salary or 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. The variable component of remuneration is suitably balanced compared to its fixed component.

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

  • the total amount of the "non-recurring" component paid to the Agents (so-called Bonus Pool) is also subordinate to checking the Group's liquidity and financial circumstances identified annually in the Remuneration report (see gate);
  • criteria for the ex post correction of the "non-recurring" remuneration of each individual have been identified; they are based on indicators that reflect compliance for activities assigned contractually, correct behaviour, especially in relations with customers; containing legal and reputation risks that can affect the Group or Group companies and favour compliance with regulations and protect customers keeping them loyal.

The variable remuneration system for the agent network is defined by the CEO, illustrated to the Remuneration Committee and communicated to the Board of Directors of the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries where present.

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:

  • consultancy contracts;
  • continuous and coordinated collaboration contracts.

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.

8 For example with behaviour that has caused or helped cause significant damage for customers, or a significant breach of codes of ethics or conduct protecting customers applicable to the broker (measurable through any complaints received) .

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.

Malus condition

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

TABLE (D)

Consolidated Total Own Funds ratio9
<=12.50% 12.50%< <=13.00% 13.00%< =13.50% >13.50%
RORAC ≥ 15% -100.0% --- --- ---

Group < 10.5% -100.0% -40.0% -30.0% -20.0%

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 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;
  • behaviour contrary to laws, 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 Group10 or for customers11 .
  • 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 any cases set out by it;
  • fraudulent behaviour or serious negligence causing damage to the Group;

or also where:

  • the consolidated Total Own12 Funds Ratio is greater than the Overall Capital Requirement communicated by the Supervisory Body as part of the "Decisions on capital" at the conclusion of the periodical prudential supervisory review process (SREP).
  • 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.

9 EU Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV).

10 Loss equal to or exceeding 5% of net equity.

11 The Parent Company identifies as a "significant loss" for customers any loss deriving from deviant or non-compliant behaviour 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 behaviour, intentional failure to comply with the delegation system, if these cases have effects on customers. It is understood that if these events occur, all investigations required by the disciplinary procedures provided for by the law and by the National Collective Labour 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.. 12 EU Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV).

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 checked in each of the three financial years13 closed following calculation of the variable component (accrual period) and applied when the above-mentioned conditions occur, taking the worst result recorded in the reference period into consideration.

Claw back

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 the CBA/TUB or obligations regarding remuneration and incentive schemes;
  • behaviour contrary to laws, 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 Group14 or for customers15 .
  • 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;

or if the consolidated Total Own Funds Ratio16 is lower or equal to the Overall Capital Requirement communicated by the Supervisory Body as part of the "Decisions on capital" at the conclusion of the periodical prudential review process (SREP).

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. Those criteria are also checked in each of the three financial years17 closed after calculation of the variable component (accrual period) and are applied when the above conditions are met, except for key personnel for whom that audit must be carried out in each of the following five financial years closed.

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.

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

13 If these conditions are met in at least one of the three years observed (accrual period), the corrective mechanisms will be applied.

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

15 See note 12.

16 EU Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV).

17 If these conditions are met in at least one of the three years observed (accrual period), the corrective mechanisms will be applied.

and incentive policies and practices, the Parent Company prepares specific individual agreements through which beneficiaries agree:

  • 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 business risk alignment inherent in the remuneration mechanisms;
  • to notify the presence or opening of custodial and administration accounts with other intermediaries18 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.

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, life insurance, permanent disability insurance, luncheon vouchers with amounts ranging from €5.16 to €7.00, 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) or based on remuneration for post-employment benefit purposes, except for some previously acquired contracts).

The above benefits, since they apply to all employees, are not considered discretionary.

In addition to the above, some individuals are assigned a company car, based on internal Policies in force each time.

6. Remuneration linked to key resources staying in the company

Moreover, if there are motivated and documented reasons, remuneration may be linked to key resources staying in the company, and, as such, not linked to performance objectives. Those sums possibly allocated as a stability agreement (so-called retention bonus) in compliance with provisions in Bank of Italy Circular 285 of 17th December 2013 («Supervisory provisions for banks") are a form of variable remuneration and as such subject to all rules applicable.

If amounts acknowledged as remuneration linked to the key resources remaining in the company and/or non-competition agreements concern key personnel, the Remuneration Committee is suitably notified in advance in order to control and duly motivate that acknowledgement.

Lastly, in exceptional situations the Bank may allocate instruments as an entry bonus, only assigned for the first year of employment and only when prudential requirements have been complied with, when the individual is hired and for attraction purposes, not subjected to the variable remuneration rules and not included in the variable/fixed ratio limit of first year remuneration only when paid in a

18 At present, internal custodial and administration accounts cannot be opened

single solution when the person is hired, pursuant to paragraph 2.1 of Section III of the Supervisory Provisions.

7. Treatment for termination of office or of employment and the non-competition agreement

Treatment for termination of office or of employment for key personnel.

Amounts paid when the work relationship is terminated, additional to severance pay established by general employment and notice regulations (by law and collective contracts) and not determined by a third party competent to do so, such as a legal and/or arbitration authority (the "Golden Parachutes"), are quantified and paid by the Bank in line with the regulatory framework in force at the time, applying the following criteria, and always in accordance with and pursuing the best company interests. When recognising those payments, due consideration will be given to: the employee's performance and conduct in previous years, the 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 asset situation and liquidity

In no case may the gross total amount to be paid exceed 24 months of de facto gross total salary (including fixed remuneration and the average variable remuneration of the last three years - which as such in fact also incorporates the individual's performance, even involving a significant reduction in treatment if the performance is negative), including notice period (if applicable).

In compliance with the Bank of Italy Provisions, Golden Parachutes, when decided based on pre-set formulas, as part of an agreement to settle an ongoing or potential dispute, are not included in the calculation of the maximum ratio between variable and fixed remuneration established for key personnel. On this point, in line with reference regulations in force at the time and within the aforementioned criteria and limits, the Bank has drafted the following pre-defined formula referred to key personnel (without prejudice to the specifications below):

BASIC AMOUNT +/- CORRECTIVE FACTORS

The basic amount19 calculation is based on company seniority, as follows:

  • Up to 2 years: 7 months recurrent salary;
  • Over 2 and up to 6 years: 11 months recurrent salary;
  • Over 6 and up to 10 years: 15 months recurrent salary;
  • Over 10 and up to 15 years: 19 months recurrent salary;
  • Over 15 years: 22 months of recurrent salary.

The basic amount, if the employee is of pensionable age, cannot exceed six months of current salary.

Solely for the position of Chief Executive Office, the basic amount is calculated applying the following formula: 24 * (recurrent salary/12).

The basic amount can be decreased (up to a maximum of -100%) or increased (up to a maximum of +50% and without prejudice to the maximum limit indicated above) by a certain percentage

19 In any case, without prejudice to the maximum limit of 24 months total de facto gross salary, including prior notice (if applicable).

resulting from application of specific "corrective factors to each individually acknowledged Golden Parachute.

In a specific internal document, the Bank analytically regulates the application criteria of the aforementioned corrective factors, attributing a percentage weight that decreases or increases the basic amount.

The aforementioned payments are made in compliance with Bank of Italy Provisions in force at the time and are also subject to the malus and claw back conditions mentioned above.

With reference to the Executives identified as key personnel and the remaining other key personnel, the amounts to be paid are defined based on the prior favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee and subsequent Board of Directors approval.

Treatment for termination of office or of employment for personnel that are not key personnel.

What was set forth in the previous paragraph for key personnel does not apply to incentives to leave, also connected to extraordinary transactions (e.g. mergers) or corporate reorganisation processes, and recognised for non key personnel, as long as they jointly meet the following conditions: i) respond solely to company cost containment and personnel rationalisation policies; ii) favour adhesion to support measures foreseen by the law and collective negotiations for most employees; iii) do not produce distorting effects ex ante on personnel behaviour; iv) foresee claw back mechanisms covering at least cases of fraudulent or seriously negligent conduct damaging the bank. Incentives to leave will therefore be established pursuant to laws in force and collective negotiations applicable.

Non-competition agreements

The company stipulates non-competition agreements in compliance with provisions set forth in the Bank of Italy Circular 285 of 17th December 2013 («Supervisory provisions for banks»). Those agreements are limited in time and space and to tasks performed by the beneficiary and foresee compensation commensurate to the commitment assigned.

If amounts acknowledged as remuneration linked to the key resources remaining in the company and/or non-competition agreements concern key personnel, the Remuneration Committee is suitably notified in advance in order to control and duly motivate that acknowledgement.

8. Implementation of Policies in Subsidiaries

This document on remuneration and incentive policies drawn up by the Parent Company applies to all Subsidiaries, therefore they are not required to draft their own documents on these subjects.

Each Subsidiary, in line with guidelines supplied periodically by the Parent Company, submits this document or an extract from it to its own strategic supervisory body. That body is responsible for its implementation in the subsidiary and will ensure that the remuneration and incentive policy is adequately documented and accessible within the corporate structure.

Variable Result Award and Welfare Plan

Financial year 2019 also established a Variable Results Bonus (to be paid during 2020 referred to the results of financial year 2019) for employees who do not already receive other bonus system payments (as a non exhaustive example, sales and key personnel) and of a Welfare Plan (to be paid during financial year 2020 to all personnel included in the same scope as the Variable Results Bonus recipients) for financial year 2019. Both Plans are established through a Trade Union Agreement that regulates terms and conditions, including the one related to being able to convert even 20% of the VRB into Welfare (which would then be added to the Standard Welfare Credit foreseen in that agreement).

Results of audits conducted by the Internal Audit Department.

In compliance with Circular 285 of the Bank of Italy and other internal regulations of the Banca IFIS Group, the Internal Audit Department conducted a specific audit on remuneration and incentive policies and practices to assess their effective compliance with reference regulations.

In particular, audits concerned the following areas:

  • the definition of remuneration policies in order to check adherence to the regulatory framework and adequacy on favouring balanced governance and Group development mechanisms;
  • application of policies in remuneration and incentive practices in order to assess, based on spot audits conducted, the real action of the Group compared to reference principles, also in the payment stage;
  • compliance with Supervisory Authority indications, and developments compared to previous areas of improvement suggested by the Internal Audit Department, to orient the Banca IFIS Group actions towards sector best practices.

After the audits conducted, Internal Audit expressed an essentially positive opinion on the remuneration and incentive policies and practices of the Banca IFIS Group.

This policy is agreed with the Compliance Office.

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;
  • check whether the process meets the quantitative criteria referred to in Article 4 of the Regulation;
  • draft the Self-Assessment document and monitor it;

• submit the Self-Assessment document to the Remuneration Committee and obtain approval from the Board of Directors.

3.1 Company bodies involved in approving the policies on the key personnel 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;
  • 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
  • the qualitative and quantitative analysis in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation;
  • the number of personnel identified as key personnel;
  • the number of individuals identified for the first time;
  • the names and individual identifiers;
  • 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.

3.6 Presentation of the Self-Assessment document to the Remuneration 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.
