For incentive plans based on financial instruments, detailed information is contained in the Information Document on Remuneration Plans based on Financial Instruments.

SECTION I - Remuneration and incentive policies

1. Principles and purposes of the remuneration and incentive policies and gender neutrality

The Parent company, in the exercise of its management and coordination powers, defines this Group remuneration and incentive policy in line with the characteristics of the Group and of each subsidiary and in compliance with the provisions in force.

The remuneration policy shall be in effect for one year.

This policy is defined by the Parent company with the aim of aligning the conduct of management and staff with the interests of all Stakeholders, directing their action towards the achievement of sustainable medium-to-long term objectives - including sustainable finance objectives that take into account, inter alia, environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors - within the framework of a prudent assumption of current and prospective risks, as well as helping to attract, motivate and retain people with the professional qualities required to profitably pursue, in accordance with corporate values and according to a policy of prudent risk management, including strategies for the monitoring and management of impaired loans (in line with the provisions of the prudential control process), the short and/or medium/long-term objectives correlated with the Group's strategic objectives, thereby contributing to the achievement of results aimed at strengthening the Company's operational, economic and financial solidity in the long term and safeguarding the sustainability of the Banca Ifis Group.

The remuneration and incentive policy was defined taking into account the remuneration and working conditions of its employees, the provisions of collective bargaining (applicable over time); in particular, the policy is based on the principles set out below.

The Banca Ifis Group's remuneration and incentive system aims, in particular, to:

  • promote sound and effective risk management by not encouraging risk taking above the tolerated level of risk;
  • promote the competitiveness and good governance of the Group;
  • attract and retain in the company individuals with professionalism and skills suitable for the Group's needs, especially when they play important roles within the company organisation;
  • encourage compliance with all legal and regulatory provisions, as well as transparency and correctness in relations with customers, discouraging any violation and/or unfair commercial practice;
  • make corporate objectives consistent with the Group's sustainable growth objectives;
  • seek the best alignment between the interests of different stakeholders;
  • focus on risk containment policies;
  • avoid altering or undermining the risk alignment effects inherent in remuneration arrangements;
  • avoid creating situations of conflict of interest.

Focus: gender neutrality

The Bank, which has always been attentive to issues of diversity and inclusion, promotes networks and initiatives for training and empowerment of women and supports flexibility in order to combine the needs of work and family.

Banca Ifis's commitment to gender equality is expressed in an increasingly inclusive culture, which is reflected in work-life balance policies and welfare to support family needs, in particular to support maternity, parental leave and other situations of family difficulties, thanks to the activation of the increasing adoption of flexible working methods.

In this context, since December 2021, Banca Ifis has been the first Italian bank to be certified for gender equality by the Winning Women Institute, a company committed to spreading the principle of gender equality within the world of work. According to the Dynamic Model Gender Rating, which is based on the achievement of quantitative and qualitative KPIs, the levers subject to assessment are: opportunities for growth within the company, pay equity and HR processes, flexibility for maternity protection.

The Bank then intends to adopt internal rules outlining the method by which the Group guarantees that all employees (and collaborators) are treated with no direct or indirect distinction or preference, based on age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, language, ethnic or national origins, physical or mental disabilities, state of pregnancy, maternity or paternity, including through adoption, personal beliefs, political opinions, affiliation or trade union activities.

In accordance with the values and principles pursued by the Banca Ifis Group, the aforementioned Policy will identify the thematic areas of intervention, which make it possible to frame in the most complete way all the aspects linked to the theme of inclusiveness and embrace the complexity that characterises the Group's project on Gender Diversity and Inclusion: attraction and retention, reward and promotions, development, training, welfare policies, culture and change management.

Within the framework described, as part of the review of policies at least once a year, by the Supervisory Provisions, the Board of Directors analyses, with the support of the Remuneration Committee, the gender neutrality of remuneration policies and verifies any gender pay gap and its evolution over time.

In particular, the reasons for any gender pay gap are properly documented and corrective action taken, where necessary.

Focus: Sustainability

In confirmation of its commitment to corporate social responsibility, in November 2021 the Group set up the Sustainability Committee, with the aim of defining the Group's sustainability strategy and, therefore, monitoring its execution; in this sense, the remuneration policy is also geared towards creating sustainable value over time for all stakeholders and the ecosystem in which the Group operates.

The Committee supports the important path taken by the Bank in integrating ESG criteria into its mission and business model. With a clear vision: sustainability, in all its forms, represents a lever for creating value and a fundamental driver of development, which looks at the impacts on people, the environment and the community.

The establishment of a Sustainability Committee enhances and substantiates the Group's willingness to direct its strategic guidelines on the integration of sustainability risks, in accordance with current regulations.

The Sustainability Committee is chaired by the Bank's Deputy Chairman, further confirming the commitment and value the Group places on ESG issues.

In this context, Banca Ifis was the first Italian challenger bank to join the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) (in October 2021), the initiative promoted by the United Nations aiming to speed up the sustainable transition of the international banking segment. The Net-Zero Banking Alliance brings together institutes, which are committed to bringing their loans and investment portfolios into line with the achievement of the zero net emissions goal by 2050, as per the targets set by the Paris Climate Agreement.

As part of this initiative, Banca Ifis has already defined and communicated its targets for the reduction of financed emissions by 2030 on its loan portfolio. This new commitment adds to the many initiatives already undertaken by Banca Ifis to support sustainable mobility and the environmental transition of SMEs. In February 2022, thanks to an agreement with Stellantis, the renewal of the entire company fleet was announced with the aim of adopting more than 50% environmentally friendly vehicles within 4 years. With the "Ifis Green" programme, the Bank is committed to developing products and services that favour sustainable practices, such as the leasing of electric vehicles, in which the Bank is a leader in Italy with a 15% market share. In addition, the Bank only uses energy from 100% renewable sources in all offices and branches in Italy. Lastly, Banca Ifis promotes a culture of business sustainability amongst SMEs, with dedicated periodic research and analyses.

In 2022, the Bank launched Kaleidos, the Social Impact Lab to gather all initiatives, present and future, that put people at the centre. The objective of Kaleidos is to promote high social impact projects in the three areas of inclusive communities, culture and territory, and people's well-being, and to provide people working in the Bank with tools for building a more inclusive and sustainable future.

2. Highlights of the 2023 Remuneration Policy

With regard to the remuneration policy for the financial year 2022, two resolutions were passed at the Shareholders' Meetings, one in April 2022 and one in July 2022; the latter with particular reference to an update to the Long Term Incentive Plan.

The Shareholders' Meeting of April 2022 voted overwhelmingly in favour, with a percentage of 97,589% of the voting rights; the same occurred in July 2022, when the Shareholders' Meeting voted in favour with a percentage of 99,527% of the voting rights.

In light of the positive outcome of the shareholders' meeting vote, Banca Ifis decided to submit to the shareholders' meeting a remuneration policy for the year 2023 substantially in line with that of the previous year.

The changes compared to the remuneration policy resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 July 2022 include:

  • the updating and amendment of certain provisions of the Long Term Incentive Plan, aimed at providing - as more fully illustrated in the explanatory report and the Information Document of such plan and with a view to further strengthening the alignment of long-term interests between management and shareholders - the possibility for the beneficiaries, at the opening of each exercise window of the options (both the up-front and the deferred options) to postpone the exercise of all or part of the options that may have vested and may be exercised already in that window in the subsequent "exercise windows" provided for by the Long Term Incentive Plan, thus also obtaining a greater deferral with reference to such financial instruments, without prejudice to the final deadline after the last retention period (2029 or 2030, in the case of particularly high variable remuneration);
  • the modification of certain levels and weights related to the KPIs of the Chief Executive Officer and Joint General Managers.
  • for employees falling into the category of "key personnel", it is provided that any interventions on the fixed remuneration (for the same role) exceeding 20% compared to the gross annual remuneration of the previous year may only be carried out upon decision of the Board of Directors after consulting the Remuneration Committee (also on the basis of appropriate evidence in terms of market benchmarking).

3. Bodies and subjects involved in the preparation, approval and possible revision of the remuneration policy and responsible for its correct implementation

The main Parent company bodies and personnel involved in the preparation, approval and possible review of the remuneration and incentive policy are:

  • the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • the Board of Directors;
  • the Remuneration Committee;
  • the Chief Executive Officer;

  • the General Management1

  • the Control Functions;
  • the Human Resources Function; and
  • the Strategic Planning Department.

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

In the preparation of the remuneration policy, the Bank availed itself of the consultancy support of the company Mercer for the purpose of declaring the incentive systems and for the benchmarking analyses, as well as of the legal advisory firm Bonelli Erede.

3.1 The Shareholders' Meeting

The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the Articles of Association, in addition to establishing the remuneration due to the bodies appointed by the same, approves:

  • the remuneration and incentive policies for corporate bodies and other staff;
  • 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.

3.2 The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14 of the Articles of Association, has exclusive competence in the resolutions concerning:

  • appointing, dismissing and remunerating the General Manager;
  • the remuneration and incentive policies to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting;

1 See Article 18 of the Parent company's Articles of Association: "the General Management shall consist of, alternately, the General Manager and, if appointed, one or more Deputy General Managers, or one or more Joint General Managers".

• reviewing these policies, at least annually, and being responsible for their correct implementation, with the task of ensuring that the remuneration policy is adequately documented and accessible within the corporate structure.

In particular, the reasons for any gender pay gap are properly documented and corrective action taken, where necessary.

According to the provisions of Article 14 of the Articles of Association, the Board is vested with all the powers of ordinary and extraordinary administration, excluding only those that the law strictly reserves for the Shareholders' Meeting. Furthermore, the Board of Directors is solely responsible for the resolutions concerning, among other things:

  • the business model, the strategic lines and operations, as well as business and financial plans;
  • the internal control system guidelines, ensuring that the system is in line with established strategic and risk appetite measures as well as being able to stay up to date with the company's risks as they evolve and the interaction between them;
  • the compliance of the Articles of Association with the provisions of the regulatory framework;
  • the merger by incorporation of companies in the cases provided for by Articles 2505 and 2505-bis of the Italian Civil Code;
  • an indication of which directors, in addition to those indicated in these Articles of Association, are the Company's representatives;
  • the formation of internal committees within the Board of Directors;
  • the Risk Appetite Framework and the risk management policies as well as, after having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, assessing the completeness, suitability, functionality and reliability of the risk management and internal control system as well as the suitability of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure;
  • determining the Bank's general organisational structure and the subsequent internal regulations;
  • determining the criteria for carrying out the Bank of Italy's instructions;
  • the formation of the company control bodies, their tasks and responsibilities, the methods of administration and collaboration, information flows between these departments and between them and management; the appointment of the heads of control departments, after having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors;
  • the risk management process and assessing its compatibility with the strategic guidelines and risk management policies;
  • the policies and the processes for assessing company activities, and, particularly, financial instruments, ensuring that they are always suitable and also establishing the Bank's maximum exposure limits to financial instruments or products that are uncertain or difficult to value;

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 determine the remuneration of Directors assigned special tasks.

The Board of Directors is also involved in the key personnel self-assessment process and in the possible procedure to exclude personnel, as specified in Annex 1 of this Report ("Policy related to the key personnel identification process") and periodically reviews the relative criteria.

As part of the at least annual review of policies, the Board of Directors analyses, with the support of the Remuneration Committee, the gender neutrality of remuneration policies and reviews the gender pay gap and its evolution over time.2

3.3 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:

  • advises and formulates proposals to the Parent company's Board of Directors for the remuneration and incentives of corporate officers (including executive Directors and other Directors holding special offices), key managers and the heads of the internal control functions of the Parent company - also taking into account the remuneration practices prevailing in the reference sectors and for companies of a similar size, and considering comparable foreign experiences and availing itself of an independent consultant if necessary -, as well as on the setting of performance targets correlated to the variable component of such remuneration advising on the determination of criteria for the remuneration of the remaining "key" personnel identified within the Parent company in compliance with the applicable supervisory provisions;
  • supports the body with strategic supervisory function in analysing the neutrality of remuneration policies with respect to gender and in verifying any gender pay gap and its evolution over time.
  • gives its opinion, also using the information received from the competent corporate functions, on the results of the identification process of key personnel, including any exclusions, in compliance with supervisory provisions;
  • periodically assesses the adequacy, overall consistency and concrete application of the Group's remuneration policies, using the information provided by the Chief Executive Officer, where appropriate, making proposals on the matter to the Board of Directors;
  • 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;

2 See Bank of Italy Circular, Part One - Title IV - Chapter 2 - Section I, Par. 5.1.

  • collaborates with the other committees within the Board of Directors, in particular with the Control and Risk 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 involvement of the Internal Audit function, the Risk Management function, the Compliance function, the Human Resources department and the Strategic Planning department in the process of developing 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;
  • 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.);
  • examines in advance the Annual report on the remuneration policy and remuneration paid to be made available to the public for the annual general meeting;
  • provides appropriate feedback on the activities carried out to the corporate bodies, including the Shareholders' Meeting

The Chairman 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.

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 28 April 2022, the members of the Committee - who remain in office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2024 - are:

  • Giovanni Meruzzi (Non-executive and Independent Director)3 ;
  • Beatrice Colleoni (Non-executive and Independent Director);
  • Luca Lo Giudice (Non-executive and Non-independent Director).

The Remuneration Committee is chaired by Director Giovanni Meruzzi4 .

3 Mr. Meruzzi took over from Ms Malinconico as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee with effect from 28 April 2022.

4 The chairmanship of the Remuneration Committee lasts eighteen months from the date of appointment, unless the office of director or member of the Remuneration Committee is forfeited, revoked or the person resigns. When the presidency

The term of office of the members of the Remuneration Committee is equivalent to that of the Board of Directors which appointed it, whose early termination, for any reason, determines the simultaneous termination of the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee 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 Chairman 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 CEO.

As a way of avoiding and managing conflicts of interest, 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 Chairman 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 are experts in remuneration policies, who may also be chosen from among the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent company, provided that such experts do not at the same time provide Human Resources, executive Directors or key managers of the Parent company and/or other companies in the Group with services of such significance as to compromise the independence of judgement of the consultants;
  • any corporate officer or employee of the Parent company or any other company in the Group.

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 Structure.

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

3.4 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:

expires, the Board of Directors confers the office of Chairman to a different member of the Remuneration Committee holding the aforementioned requirements.

  • 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.

3.5 The General Management

With effect from the month of October 2021 (following the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 July 2021 which approved certain statutory amendments), in place of the General Manager, two Joint General Managers were appointed, who, pursuant to Art. 17 of the Articles of Association, shall implement the management directives of the CEO, assist him in the implementation of the strategic policies and corporate management and attend, upon invitation, the meetings of the Board of Directors, each with advisory functions according to their respective competences.

3.6 Functions involved in the process of defining remuneration policies

Annually, the Report on the Group's Remuneration Policy, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, is defined by the Board of Directors, and subsequently submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, in line with regulatory requirements.

In particular, the Report on the Group's Remuneration Policy is formulated by the Human Resources function, consistently with the need to attract and retain the professional skills needed to achieve long-term objectives and, at the same time, ensure sound and prudent risk management.

With the involvement of the Risk Management function and the Strategic Planning Department, the Human Resources Department identifies the economic-financial objectives underlying the incentive systems.

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 bonus system meets the objectives of 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 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.

4. Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors

4.1 Remuneration of the Directors and Auditors of the Parent company

Directors are entitled (in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred due to their office) to a remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment, in light of the required commitment, the relevant responsibilities and practices in force for the members of the boards of directors of comparable companies. Directors are also beneficiaries of D&O insurance coverage.

The directors who participate in the internal committees of the Board of Directors are granted a further and additional fixed remuneration on the basis of this participation, taking into account the greater commitment required of them and the role (of Chairman or member of the Committee) held by them.

The Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, is responsible for determining further remuneration for directors vested with particular offices (or special duties) pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code. The Shareholders' Meeting may also delegate the Board of Directors to determine the Honorary Chairman's remuneration (as per the proposal submitted to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting convened for 20 April 2023 with this policy).

There are no incentive mechanisms for Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairman. In fact, Bank of Italy Circular 285/2013 envisages that, for non-executive directors, "as a rule, incentive mechanisms should be avoided" and, "where present", that they should represent "in any case an insignificant part of remuneration", should be "consistent with the tasks performed" and should be "defined in strict compliance with the criteria set out in paragraph 2.1" of Bank of Italy Circular 285/2013.

The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are entitled (in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred due to their office) to a fixed annual remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment in the light of the expertise, professional requirements and commitment required for the significance of the role held (of chairman or member

of the Board) and the Company's size and structure and its situation. Auditors are also beneficiaries of D&O insurance coverage.

Any form of variable remuneration is precluded for the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

4.2 Remuneration of the Directors and Auditors 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 (and therefore unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company) any fee 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 remuneration that can be assigned to the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent company. For the non-executive members of the Board of Directors of the subsidiaries, there are generally no incentive mechanisms.

The Shareholders' Meeting of each 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 remuneration assigned to the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Parent company. No incentive mechanisms are available for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and there is no form of variable remuneration.

5. Recipients of the remuneration and inventive policies and policy governing the identification process of key personnel

Remuneration and incentive policies are defined for all Group personnel5 , 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, hereinafter also "KP"). 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 governing the identification process of the key personnel", which forms an integral part of the remuneration and incentive policy; further information is given in Annex 1 of this Report.

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

Pursuant to the Supervisory Provisions, the Parent company is required to adopt a policy dealing with the process of identifying this staff.

The Policy governing the identification process of the key personnel defines the criteria and procedures used to identify the members of the key personnel, including those for determining the financial year of reference for the calculation of variable remuneration and those for any exclusion, the procedures for assessing personnel; the role played by the corporate bodies and the competent corporate functions in developing, monitoring and reviewing the identification process.

The process of self-assessment of the Group's key personnel, conducted by Human Resources with the support of Compliance and approved - with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee - by the Parent company's Board of Directors, led to the identification, for 2023, of 63 individuals (compared to 63 individuals identified for 2022) who have a substantial impact on the Group's risk profile (KP). It should be noted that no proceedings have been initiated to notify the competent authority of the exclusion of the identified staff.

The Group's key personnel accounts for 3,06% of the total workforce.

6. Remuneration structure

Pursuant to the Supervisory Provisions, remuneration is any form of payment or benefit, including any ancillary components (so-called allowances) paid, directly or indirectly, in cash, financial instruments or services or goods in kind (fringe benefits), in exchange for the performance of work or professional services rendered by personnel to the bank or other companies of the banking group. Payments or marginal benefits, granted to staff on a non-discretionary basis, which are part of a general bank policy and which do not produce any effect on the incentive plan for taking on or controlling risks, may not apply.

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.

On this point, please note that:

  • a base fixed remuneration is set out for all employees that reflects their professional experience and their role, in line with the provisions of collective bargaining applicable from time to time and with market benchmarks;
  • for employees falling into the category of "key personnel", it is also provided that any interventions on the fixed remuneration (for the same role) exceeding 20% compared to the gross annual remuneration of the previous year may only be carried out upon decision of the Board of Directors after consulting the Remuneration Committee (also on the basis of appropriate evidence in terms of market benchmarking).
  • the Board of Directors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, has the possibility of recognising indemnities for the role (so-called "role based allowances") determined as a predefined sum, of a stable nature, not linked to performance, which does not create incentives for assumption of risks and which is functionally linked to the role held.

The remuneration offer is completed by various types of benefits (which are likewise stable in nature and not dependent on performance), having different gradation in relation to the corporate role and/or to the service reasons. The allocation can be summarised as follows: health insurance policy, professional and extra-professional accident policy, life insurance policy, permanent disability policy, meal vouchers, company contribution to supplementary pension schemes (recognised to all employees with an open-ended employment relationship). In addition to the above, some individuals are assigned a company car, based on internal Policies in force each time. Furthermore, within the Group there is the possibility of assigning short-stay accommodation for service reasons.

All employees can have access to the aforementioned benefits on the basis of internal reference practices and regulations and therefore are not considered as benefits of a discretionary nature.

The Bank envisages the possibility of activating Welfare initiatives for all personnel or for homogeneous categories thereof, including the key personnel, consistent with the legal provisions in force from time to time.

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 unambiguously classified as fixed remuneration.

Variable remuneration includes:

  • short-term (annual) incentive schemes;
  • long-term incentive systems;
  • the "company productivity bonus" or "variable result bonus" ("PVR"), as defined by the national collective bargaining agreement, the conditions and criteria for the payment of which are established annually as part of the second-level negotiation;
  • "one-off" awards (in any case not exceeding three months' pay for each person), at the time of the annual assessment, in order to reward excellent performance and/or particularly outstanding quality work by staff not belonging to the category of "key personnel" 6 .
  • other "one-off" acknowledgements and/or contexts linked to extraordinary, unpredictable circumstances and/or particular planning initiatives, for personnel not belonging to the "key personnel" category ad for limited amounts (however, no higher than one monthly salary for each subject); based on predefined criteria, determined in a Regulation also containing controls and exclusion clauses with inadequate individual conduct.7

6 These awards are in any case paid out when the conditions for access to the variable component (gate) are met, it being understood that, for these "one-off" awards, mentioned above, a prior resolution of the Board of Directors is required, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee in the event of a total amount exceeding the budget allocations.

7 These acknowledgements are not subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 7 "Variable remuneration system: access conditions" it being understood that the above "one-off" acknowledgements foresee a Board of Directors' resolution, after

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. Any such sums paid by way of a stability pact or retention bonus shall comply with the provisions set out in the Supervisory Provisions, shall be recognised no earlier than the end of the period or the occurrence of the event, shall constitute forms of variable remuneration and as such shall be subject to all the rules applicable thereto. The same staff member shall not be awarded multiple retention bonuses, except in exceptional and appropriately justified cases (i.e., payment of retention bonuses occurs at different times and there are specific reasons for awarding them).

Always within the scope of variable remuneration, 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 single solution when the person is hired, pursuant to paragraph 2.1 of Section III of the Supervisory Provisions.

Within the Group, there is also the possibility of entering into non-competition agreements and agreements to extend notice period which, pursuant to the Supervisory Provisions, constitute forms of variable remuneration and as such are subject to all the rules applicable. These agreements are limited in time and, limited to the non-competition agreement, also in space and provide for a fee commensurate with the commitment attributed.

7. Ratio of variable remuneration to fixed remuneration

In line with the Supervisory Provisions, the ratio between the fixed and variable components is appropriately balanced in order to:

  • allow flexible management of payroll costs, as the variable portion may be significantly reduced to zero depending on the level of results actually achieved during the year in question or when the Group is unable to maintain or restore a solid capital base;
  • discourage behaviour focused on achieving short-term results, especially if resulting from taking high risks.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the Group establishes ex ante maximum and balanced limits to variable remuneration; the maximum limit to the variable remuneration has been determined as equal to a maximum of 100% of the fixed remuneration with the exception of the Heads of the Corporate Control Functions for whom the variable remuneration cannot exceed 33% of the fixed remuneration.

favourable opinion by the Remuneration Committee, and will only be allocated if that is compatible with capital levels and with sufficient liquidity to cover Bank activities.

With regard to the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent company, the Shareholders' Meeting recently (on 21 December 2021) approved the definition, with effect from FY 2022 and for subsequent years (the rationale and assumptions for this increase and the related impacts on the Group's capital remain unchanged with respect to the subject of the previous shareholders' resolution), of a ratio between the variable and fixed components of remuneration of a maximum of 150% in compliance with that permitted by Title IV, Chapter 2, Section III of the Supervisory Provisions.

Therefore, in summary, by 2023:

Maximum ratio of variable to
fixed
remuneration
CEO of Parent company 150%
Heads of Control functions 33%
Other
personnel
(including
Joint
General
100%
Managers and KP) (*)

(*) With regard to the Manager charged and the Head of the Human Resources Department, the variable remuneration is contained in line with the 1:1 ratio between the fixed and variable component of remuneration.

8. Variable remuneration: access gates

Access to the variable portion for all personnel is subject to compliance with the conditions for access (the "gate") provided for by the following indicators measured at year-end:

  • on the basis of a measure of risk-adjusted profitability, such as RORAC (return on riskadjusted capital) defined as the ratio between Net Income and Capital absorbed by pillar one risks (i.e. 8% Pillar 1 Risk Weighted Asset (RWA)), the [RORAC/RORAC*] indicator, where RORAC* is the RORAC approved by the Board of Directors for the reporting year concurrent with the submitted annual business plan/budget, must be no less 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 short term liquidity indicator - Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of the Group, 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 100%, for the medium-long term liquidity indicator - Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) of the Group. 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).

Failure to meet one of these conditions will result in variable pay not being awarded.

Without prejudice to the opening of the access gates, in the presence of adverse scenarios, exceptional and unforeseeable situations, as well as in the event of a 20% lower-than-expected Gross Profit figure for the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors may assess - on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, subject to the opinion of the Risk Committee - a redefinition of the amounts of variable remuneration for the various categories of personnel, with a consequent pro-rata reduction.

The variable component is also recognised as long as the beneficiary is still in office/employed by the Group and not in a notice period for voluntary resignation or dismissal, at the time of payment, except for retirements and the natural expiration of the director mandate and/or any other agreements as may have been reached between the personnel and the Bank. Payment of a variable component will also be suspended in case of ongoing disciplinary proceedings for fraud or gross negligence against the Bank. No variable remuneration will be paid in the event of a performance evaluation with a negative summary judgement.

It should also be noted that, in the event of a change of role during the financial year, the variable remuneration will be paid with reference to the entire financial year provided that the beneficiary has held the role for at least 9 months.

In addition, it is provided that, in order to accrue the variable component of remuneration, beneficiaries must have been employed by the company for at least 3 months during the reference financial year.

For interim periods, payment will be made proportionally.

9. Variable remuneration: ex post correction mechanisms 9.1. Malus clauses

The deferred variable component is subject to malus conditions, which, when verified, result in the amount previously determined being reduced to zero.

In the Banca Ifis Group, these conditions are as follows:

Failure to meet one of these conditions will result in deferred variable pay not being awarded.

It should be noted that for those Legal Entities that calculate their own capital soundness and liquidity limits, failure to comply with these limits constitutes a condition for non-disbursement of the deferred variable component for which the resources operating in the Legal Entity are intended, even when those of the Banca Ifis Group should be verified positively.

Equally, 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 deferred variable component is 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 Law on Banking ("TUB") or of the obligations regarding remuneration and incentive schemes;
  • conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory, or statutory provisions or any Codes of Ethics or Conduct applicable to the Bank resulting in a significant loss to the Group8 or customers9 ;
  • further conduct that does not comply with the provisions of the law, regulations or the Articles of Association, or with any Codes of Ethics or Codes of Conduct applicable to the Bank in the cases envisaged by the latter;
  • fraudulent behaviour or serious negligence causing damage to the Group;

or also if,

8 Loss equal to or greater than 5% of net assets.

9 The Parent company identifies as a "significant loss" to customers, any loss resulting from conduct that deviates from or otherwise fails to comply with legal, regulatory, statutory or ethical standards applicable to the Group. In particular, reference is made to cases of internal fraud, complaints upheld for improper conduct, and intentional non-compliance with the delegation system, where such cases have an effect on clients. It is understood that if these events are found to have occurred, all the investigations required by the disciplinary procedures provided for by law and by the relevant National Collective Bargaining Agreement applicable to these cases will be carried out and, if the conditions are met, the most appropriate disciplinary measures will be applied depending on the seriousness found and the extent of the loss suffered.

• the Shareholders' Meeting has resolved to revoke the appointment for just cause, or the Board of Directors has resolved to terminate the employment contract for just cause.

Ex post correction mechanisms may not lead to an increase in the variable remuneration initially awarded nor in the variable remuneration previously reset as a result of the application of malus.

The above criteria are verified in each of the years in which the deferred variable component is deferred closed following the determination of the variable component (accrual period) and applied when the above conditions are identified. And so, merely by way of example, the malus condition with respect to the 2023 variable bonus will be verified in each of the 4/5 years ending after the year the variable component is determined and will be applied upon the occurrence of such conditions, to the portion pertaining to each individual year.

9.2 Claw back clauses

Without prejudice to the provisions of the relevant National Collective Labour Agreement on the rights and duties of employees and the Disciplinary Code and the Code of Ethics in force from time to time, the Group reserves the right to promote the appropriate actions for the restitution (so-called clawback mechanism) of the variable component recognised and/or paid to the staff if the subject has determined or contributed to determine:

  • violations of the obligations imposed pursuant to article 26 of the Consolidated Law on Banking or, when the person is an interested party, of article 53, paragraphs 4 and following, of the Consolidated Law on Banking or of the obligations relating to remuneration and incentives;
  • conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory, or statutory provisions or any Codes of Ethics or Conduct applicable to the Bank resulting in a significant loss to the Group10 or customers11;
  • further conduct that does not comply with the provisions of the law, regulations or the Articles of Association, or with any Codes of Ethics or Codes of Conduct applicable to the Bank in the cases envisaged by the latter;
  • fraudulent conduct or gross negligence to the detriment of the Group,

Ex post correction mechanisms may not lead to an increase in the variable compensation initially awarded nor in the variable compensation previously reduced or zeroed out as a result of the application of claw back. These criteria are also verified in each of the three financial years closed after the determination of the variable component (accrual period) and applied when the above conditions occur. For key personnel, this verification must be carried out in each of the subsequent five financial years.

.

10 Loss equal to or greater than 5% of Shareholders' Equity, to be calculated net of elements deriving from extraordinary operations such as: capital increases, company mergers, spin-offs, acquisitions or any other non-recurring operation that the Board of Directors may decide upon and which may modify the value of the indicator.

9.3 Prohibition of hedging strategy

Individual employees are strictly forbidden to carry out hedging strategies 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, the Parent company, in order to ensure that its key personnel are not remunerated or receive payments or other benefits in any way that circumvents the supervisory provisions on remuneration and incentive policies and practices, prepares specific individual agreements through which the recipients undertake to:

  • not make use of personal hedging strategies and/or resort to remuneration insurance or any other initiative aimed at altering and/or invalidating the risk alignment effects inherent in remuneration mechanisms;
  • communicate the existence or opening of custody and administration accounts with other intermediaries the information relating to the transactions carried out from time to time.

The types of transactions and financial investments made by key personnel that could affect the risk alignment mechanisms and, more generally, the pursuit of the aims of the regulations on remuneration and incentive policies and practices are transactions and investments in financial instruments issued by the Parent company, including derivatives that have such instruments as their underlying.

10. Methods of payment of variable remuneration.

The methods of payment of variable remuneration are governed by precise indications in the Supervisory Provisions on the variable remuneration of the key personnel, with particular reference to deferment obligations, the type of payment instruments and the retention period envisaged for any portion paid in financial instruments.

In line with the Supervisory Provisions, the Banca Ifis Group cannot be classified as a "bank of smaller size or operational complexity" and is therefore required to apply the entire discipline "proportionally", i.e. taking into account the characteristics and size as well as the riskiness and complexity of the activity carried out.

However, the Group is not required to apply the above more detailed rules of Section III of the Supervisory Provisions to key personnel whose annual variable remuneration meets the following two conditions:

  • does not exceed 50.000 Euro and
  • does not represent more than one third of the total annual remuneration

In accordance with the Supervisory Provisions, the Group defines:

Materiality threshold: the variable remuneration of the key personnel that exceeds the amount of 50.000 Euro or represents more than one third of the total annual remuneration.

"Particularly high" variable remuneration amount

"Particularly high" variable remuneration amount means the lowest between:

  • 25% of the average total remuneration of Italian high earners, as shown in the most recent report published by the EBA;

  • 10 times the average total remuneration of Ifis Group employees.

In light of the above, the particularly high amount of variable remuneration with reference to the Group was identified as 424.260 Euro (equal to 25% of the average total remuneration of Italian high earners12).

Structure of the variable component, deferral period and deferred portions

The deferral period is the vesting period to which the variable remuneration is subject, in order to take into account the development of the risks assumed by the Bank over time.

In line with the Supervisory Provisions:

  1. where the variable component is higher than the materiality threshold (and not of a particularly high amount), it is paid in the following ways:

  2. upfront portion (60% of total variable remuneration): 50% in financial instruments and 50% in cash;

  3. deferred portion (40% of total variable remuneration): 50% in financial instruments and 50% in cash. The period of deferral in this case is 4 years;

  4. the variable component of a particularly high amount is paid in the following ways:

  5. upfront portion (i.e. 40% of the total variable remuneration): 50% in financial instruments and 50% in cash;

  6. deferred portion (i.e. 60% of total variable remuneration): 55% in financial instruments and 45% in cash. The period of deferral in this case is 5 years.

There are currently two types of incentive systems:

  • Short Term Incentive (STI) System
  • Long Term Incentive (LTI) System

The main characteristics of the two systems are defined below

11. INCENTIVE SYSTEMS

11.1. SHORT TERM INCENTIVE SCHEMES

12 EBA Report on High Earners (EBA/REP/2021/23).

The Bank defines an annual Short Term Incentive Plan (STI), the payment of which - subject to the opening of the access gates - is linked to the achievement of specific qualitative and quantitative performance objectives, assigned to the recipients of the plan.

If the materiality threshold (as defined above) is exceeded, the Supervisory Provisions require that the variable remuneration both upfront and deferred for key personnel be balanced at least 50% with financial instruments, by which is meant, in the Banca Ifis Group, the shares of the Parent Company.

In the case of particularly high amount of variable remuneration, it is required that more than 50% of the deferred portion be paid in financial instruments, by which is meant, in the Banca Ifis Group, the shares of the Parent Company.

The period during which there is a ban on the sale of shares (so-called retention period) is set at 1 year.

In light of the above, summarised below are the methods of payment of variable remuneration ("Short Term Incentive") for key personnel adopted by the Banca Ifis Group:

For the purpose of assigning variable remuneration in financial instruments, or in Banca Ifis shares, the Bank calculates the fair value of the share - at the time of the assignment - based on the average stock market price of the month prior to the date of approval of the financial statements by the Shareholders' Meeting (or, in the case of assignment of variable remuneration for any reason subsequent to the Shareholders' Meeting, from the date of the event, this being understood to mean any dates of signing of agreements or in the absence thereof, the dates of approval by the competent bodies of the related awards). The number of shares is determined by rounding to the nearest integer.

The transfer of the ownership of the shares, both for the upfront and the deferred portion, and the full availability of the same takes place at the end of the retention period (net of taxes and withholding taxes), without prejudice to the applicability of the malus and claw back mechanisms. Dividends and interest accruing during the deferral period on Banca Ifis shares may not be paid either during or after the deferral period. In the event that, during the retention period, the Bank distributes profits, a number of shares equivalent to the value of the dividends that would have been received if the beneficiary had held the promised shares are also promised. The calculation and transfer of shares equivalent to accrued dividends are scheduled to occur at the end of the retention period and is made by taking the average share price over the thirty days prior to the dividend distribution as the reference price.

Variable cash remuneration subject to time deferral (vesting period) is revalued annually at the legal rate in force at the time.

The following is the deferral schedule in light of the above:

Short-term (annual) incentive schemes are linked to the achievement of specific qualitative and quantitative performance targets, assigned to the recipients of the plan.

The aforementioned objectives, on whose level of achievement the award depends, are set out in a performance scorecard.

The performance scorecard includes a predefined number of indicators; each indicator is given a weight in percentage terms on the total of at least 10% to ensure the significance of the objective and no more than 30% to ensure an adequate weighting of the multiple objectives.

The variable remuneration accrues according to a result curve based on the levels of achievement of the objectives; the result obtained by each KPI determines a weighted score, on a recognition curve varying between a minimum and a maximum achievable; the sum of the weighted scores obtained corresponds to the performance achieved, in proportion to which, only if at least equal to a prefixed minimum score, the amount of the incentive is quantified; the latter cannot, in any case, exceed a prefixed maximum level.

11.2. Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan)

Following the resolutions passed in 2021 by the Board of Directors and Shareholders' Meeting - each insofar as competent - the introduction has been envisaged of a "2021-2023 Long Term Incentive Plan" (the "LTI Plan"), which provides for the assignment - to specific beneficiaries13 identified at the discretion of the Bank with a specific resolution by the Board of Directors - free of charge, of a certain number of "Options" that will give the right to purchase, at a specific strike price, a corresponding number of Banca Ifis S.p.A. shares. These options will become exercisable after a three-year vesting period (2021, 2022 and 2023), subject to the circumstance that, at that date, the relationship between the Bank/Group Companies and the beneficiaries is still in place (and not in notice period), as well as to the achievement of predetermined quantitative and qualitative, financial and non-financial targets, linked to the Bank's long-term strategies.

For further information, please refer to the Information Document of the LTI Plan published at https://www.bancaifis.it/corporate-governance/assemblea-degli-azionisti/ as updated by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 April 2023.

12. Remuneration of the Parent company's CEO

The Chief Executive Officer's remuneration currently consists of the following elements:

  • a fixed remuneration of a stable and irrevocable nature, which does not create incentives to take risks and does not depend on the Bank's performance, determined on the basis of the responsibilities associated with the position and the commitment required for its performance and verified from time to time and possibly updated on the basis of benchmark analyses carried out with the help of external consultants who are experts in the field of executive compensation;
  • benefits;
  • a variable remuneration, linked to achieving specific qualitative-quantitative performance targets:
  • short-term, linked to annual goals;
  • long-term, i.e. "2021-2023 Long Term Incentive Plan" (the "LTI Plan"), approved by Shareholders on 28 July 2021.

The CEO's remuneration package also includes a stability agreement.

There is also a so-called "severance" and a non-competition agreement defined in accordance with the principles set out in this remuneration policy.

12.1 Short-term incentive scheme for the Parent company's CEO

The objectives assigned to the Chief Executive Officer for 2023 represent a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria, referring to the Group's results, as well as qualitative aspects relating to strategic action.

The performance scorecard includes the declination of the following KPIs:

Economic-financial KPIs with a weight of 65%, structured over three specific drivers (profitability, cost of credit and efficiency), consistent with the Group's 2023 objectives.

12.2. Long-term incentive system (2021-2023 LTI Plan) of the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent company

The Board of Directors identified the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent company as the beneficiary of the LTI Plan, assigning the right to receive, at the end of the vesting period, up to a maximum of 696.000 Options, calculated in accordance with the ratio between fixed and variable remuneration for the three-year reference period (2021-2023), equal to a ratio of 1:1 for the first year and a ratio of 1,5:1 for the second and third years.

In this regard, it should be noted that the ratio between variable and fixed remuneration for the CEO is 1,5:1 as of 2022.

13. Short-term variable remuneration of Joint General Managers17

*** Unit market value of the shares at the date of exercise of the options

The objectives assigned to the Joint General Managers for 2023 represent a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria, referring to the Group's results, as well as qualitative aspects relating to the achievement of strategic directives.

The performance scorecard includes the declination of the following KPIs:

17 For the discipline of the LTI Plan, see paragraph 11.2 above.

Economic-financial KPIs with a weight of 65%, structured over three specific drivers (profitability, cost of credit and efficiency), consistent with the Group's 2023 objectives;

Strategy and sustainability KPIs with a weight of 35%, which aim to assess the achievement of strategic directives, as well as corporate objectives in the ESG area.

Variable remuneration will accrue on the basis of the degree of achievement of objectives, with variable remuneration being paid on a linear progression between 60% and 100%.

The following are the performance scorecards assigned for 2023 to the Joint General Manager - Chief Operating Officer and the Joint General Manager - Chief Commercial Officer, respectively:

  • (*) Target at company level for all PPRs
  • (**) The target level is the 2023 budget
  • (***) The minimum level represents, depending on the type of indicator, the floor or the cap in relation to the target

14. Variable remuneration of Heads of control functions level

The remuneration package of the key personnel belonging to the control functions (Risk Management, Compliance, Internal Audit, Anti-Money Laundering) is structured with a prevalent fixed component and a contained variable part allocated annually on the basis of qualitative and efficiency criteria; in compliance with the Supervisory Provisions, the variable remuneration of the Heads of the control functions may not exceed 33% of the fixed remuneration.

When determining the remuneration of the key personnel belonging to the control functions, incentive mechanisms linked to economic results are in any case excluded.

For the year 2023, the key personnel belonging to the control functions are the recipients of an incentive system based on a performance scorecard containing structure KPIs, solidarity KPIs and qualitative KPIs.

The KPIs and their relative weights are defined in a specific company document.

Variable remuneration will accrue on the basis of the degree of achievement of objectives, with variable remuneration being paid on a linear progression between 60% and 100%.

15. Short-term variable remuneration of other staff, including the key personnel18

For the year 2023, even the key personnel, as identified in compliance with paragraph 5 and not belonging to the above categories, shall be the recipients of an incentive system based on a performance scorecard containing, as a rule, economic-financial KPIs/structure KPIs, solidarity KPIs and qualitative KPIs19 .

The KPIs and their relative weights are defined in a specific company document.

Variable remuneration will accrue on the basis of the degree of achievement of objectives, with variable remuneration as a rule being paid on a linear progression between 60% and 100%.

16. Short-term variable remuneration for sales staff

The sales staff not belonging to the key personnel (referred to in the preceding sections) are the recipients, for 2023, of an incentive system based on a performance scorecard containing, in general, economic-financial KPIs based on the specific businesses, solidarity KPIs and qualitative KPIs, i.e. the qualitative assessment and verification of complaints received from customers20 .

The declination of the KPIs and their relative weights is defined in a specific company document, as is the bonus accrual configuration, with the possibility of recognising performance above the budget within a defined maximum bonus value.

The performance scorecard for sales resources can be individual or team-based.

Finally, it should be noted that the variable remuneration for personnel not belonging to the "key personnel" may be subject to deferment mechanisms for retention purposes. This instrument, dedicated to sales staff, provides for the payment of a portion of variable remuneration in the year following the year of performance, and the remaining portion in subsequent years. This deferred component is not paid on termination of employment (i.e. during the notice period) and is subject to malus/claw back provisions.

18Concerning the 2021 - 2023 Long Term Incentive, see paragraph 11.2 above

19 In any case, incentive mechanisms linked to economic results are excluded for the determination of the remuneration of the Manager charged and the Head of the Human Resources Department.

20 The incentive systems of the commercial network are subject to correction mechanisms (malus/claw back clauses) such as to allow their cancellation. 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).

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

This section 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 19 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 brokers21, 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 181, of which 145 are those offering products to customers and 3622 are those to whom the former report hierarchically. The internal sales network includes the following products /Business areas:

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

For what concerns credit brokers, the agent network counts a total of about 13823 agents supporting the Lease and CQS products.

The Bank has 50 agreements with credit brokers for the factoring product, 4 of which also cover the leasing 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

21 "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."

22 Of which 3 belonging to the key personnel category.

23 It should be noted that 75 agents of the 138 indicated have dual mandates performing activities for both Ifis Npl Servicing S.p.A. and Cap.Ital.Fin S.p.A.

purpose, it also foresees structures designed and dedicated to assessing transactions, that guarantee downstream control of the sales process for what concerns the evaluation of creditworthiness and the approval of transactions, consistent with the delegation system for taking on the credit risk.

The variable remuneration system for the sales network is defined, as indicated in the preceding paragraph, by identifying Key Performance Indicators of a quantitative nature (such as, by way of example, among others: net banking income, number of clients started up, volumes of new business, size of the client in terms of turnover, portfolio retention, credit quality in terms of credit impairment adjustments, relationships reported and started up referring to different Business Units) and of a qualitative nature, and is subject to mechanisms for ex post correction of the variable (malus/claw back clauses). Among the qualitative KPIs, there is a specific objective based on the presence or absence of complaints received.

On the other hand, there are no incentive schemes for credit brokers with whom the Bank enters into agreements with the exception of credit brokers for the CQS product24. Please refer to the following paragraph for remuneration policies intended for financial agents.

18. 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.

It has been defined that the remuneration of these persons consists of a recurring component and, limited to the leasing and CQS product, of a non-recurring component determined ex ante, with an incentive value.

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 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, contain legal and reputation risks that can affect the Group or Group companies and favour compliance with regulations and protect customers keeping them loyal.

24 To date, it should be noted that no agreements have been concluded with credit brokers for the CQS product. In this respect, the incentive systems provided for this category are anchored to both quantitative and qualitative criteria, are adequately balanced with respect to the fixed component of remuneration and are subject to ex post correction mechanisms.

The variable remuneration system for the agent network is explained to the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent company and of the Subsidiary where present.

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

The (fixed and potentially variable) 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 any target market rates.

20. Treatment for termination of office or of employment

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

Amounts paid when the work relationship is terminated, for key personnel, 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. In line with supervisory provisions, 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 remuneration 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 salary25 (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).

25 In order to satisfy the regulatory provision that requires the indication of a maximum limit to severance also in terms of the number of annuities of fixed remuneration and in absolute value, it should be noted that 24 months of recurring remuneration could correspond to a maximum, of a fully theoretical nature (in the case of personnel who in the three years prior to termination always received a bonus equal to 100% of his fixed remuneration), of 3,2 years of fixed remuneration. The severance value thus determined cannot, in any case, exceed a total of 2.496.000 million Euro.

In compliance with the Bank of Italy Provisions, Golden Parachutes, when decided based on preset 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 the identified staff. 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 the identified staff (without prejudice to the specifications below):

BASIC AMOUNT +/- CORRECTIVE FACTORS

The basic amount26 calculation is based on company seniority, as follows:

  • Up to 2 years: 7 months of recurrent salary;
  • Over 2 and up to 6 years: 11 months of recurrent salary;
  • Over 6 and up to 10 years: 15 months of recurrent salary;
  • Over 10 and up to 15 years: 19 months of 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 Officer, the basic amount is calculated applying the following formula: 24 * (recurrent salary/12) in the case of "good leaver" and 12 * (recurring salary/12) in the case of "neutral leaver"27 .

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 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, subject to the opening of the access gates to the variable remuneration, are paid to the aforementioned title and therefore in compliance with the provisions of the Bank of Italy Provisions in force at the time and are also subject to the malus and claw back condition mentioned above.

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

27 As noted in paragraph 12 of this Section I and in the First Part of Section II, the management agreement in place with the Chief Executive Officer contains, in compliance with the principles set out in this remuneration policy:

(i) a treatment of c.d. "severance", to be recognized upon signing of a settlement agreement and without prejudice to the application of the corrective and equal factors:

a. in cases of "good leaver" (i.e. revocation without just cause; resignation for just cause; resignation motivated by a substantial and unshared change in the office, unless it depends on circumstances attributable to the manager or provision/indication of the competent authorities) to 24 months of the recurring remuneration ; And

b. in cases of "neutral leaver" (i.e. death, permanent disability that does not allow the continuation of the relationship, illness for a continuous period of 6 calendar months) to 12 months of the recurring salary; And

(ii) a non-competition, non-solicitation and non-reversal agreement with a duration of 12 months, against the recognition of an amount equal to 12 months of fixed remuneration.

With reference to the Managers who are part of the 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.

There are no discretionary pension benefits.

* * *

As a rule, consultancy contracts are not stipulated for a period following the termination of the relationship. However, this possibility is without prejudice, where this meets proven needs to continue to make use, in the interest of the company, for a limited period of time after the termination of the relationship, of the skills and contribution of the director and/or the Key Manager and for the performance of specific and predetermined activities (against a remuneration appropriately parametrised to the object and scope of the requested activity).

Furthermore, no agreements are currently in place - and normally are not stipulated - providing for the assignment or maintenance of monetary benefits for the period following the termination of the relationship (except for the possibility of granting the maintenance of assets such as cars or accommodation for limited periods of time subsequent to termination, and without prejudice to the overall maximum limit indicated above, compliance with which is verified by also calculating the value of any maintenance of these benefits).

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

The provisions for the key personnel, referred to in the previous paragraph, do not apply to redundancy incentives, also connected with extraordinary operations (e.g. mergers) or corporate restructuring processes, and recognised to non-key personnel, provided that they jointly comply with the following conditions:

  • they respond exclusively to the logic of containment of company costs and rationalisation of the personnel structure;
  • they promote adherence to support measures provided for by law or collective bargaining for all employees;
  • they do not produce ex ante distorting effects on the behaviour of personnel;
  • they provide for claw back mechanisms, which at least cover cases of fraudulent behaviour or gross negligence to the detriment of the bank.

Incentives to leave will therefore be established pursuant to laws in force and collective negotiations applicable.

21. Implementation of Policies in Subsidiaries

This document on the remuneration and incentive policies drawn up by the Parent company is valid for all subsidiaries, which, with the exception of Banca Credifarma S.p.A., are not required to draw

up their own document in this regard. Having said this, it is expected that Banca Credifarma S.p.A. will implement this policy by means of its own shareholders' resolution.

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.

22. Exemptions

When exceptional circumstances occur - by that meaning specific situations where derogation to the remuneration policy is needed to pursue the long-term and sustainability interests of the company as a whole or to ensure its ability to remain on the market -, the Bank, with, in any case, no prejudice to Supervisory Provision limits, may derogate to the following elements of the Remuneration Policy approved by the shareholders to pursue the long-term and sustainability interests of the company as a whole, or to guarantee its capacity to stay on the market:

  • the annual incentive system (Goals, Weights and/or Conditions of Access);
  • the long-term incentive plan (Goals, Weights and/or Conditions of Access);
  • payments in the event of resignation from office or termination of employment

Any temporary exceptions will be resolved on by the Company's Board of Directors with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, in compliance with the procedure for transactions with related parties and connected subjects.

In 2022, the Shareholders' Meeting met two times:

  • on 28 April 2022 to approve the Group's remuneration and incentive policies for 2022.
  • on 28 July 2022, to include in the scope of the recipients of the 2021-2023 LTI Plan 13 members of Top Management, of which 12 key managers. The extension of the perimeter to the aforementioned persons was carried out following the relevant resolution of the

Board of Directors of 9 June 2022 - upon the proposal of the Bank's Remuneration Committee that met on 8 June 2022 - in execution of the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 July 2021.

***

In 2022, the Remuneration Committee met a total of 10 times.

The meetings were preceded by discussion among the members and/or by prior individual examination of documentation.

The average length of the meetings was approximately one hour and 10 minutes.

In 2022, the members of the Committee took part in all meetings held.

The CEO never attended these meetings. The Committee meetings were always attended by at least one member of the Board of Auditors, with the exception of the Committee's inaugural meeting. During these meetings, the Committee gave its opinion in relation to the following topics:

  • the key personnel self-assessment process;
  • identification of the perimeter on the remuneration of key managers;
  • incentive schemes applied to various business units of the Bank and the Group;
  • remuneration and incentive policies of the Group: Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid;
  • Information document pursuant to Articles 114-bis of the Consolidated law on Finance and 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation;
  • implementation of the remuneration policies approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and impacts of Covid-19;
  • incentive systems to be used in 2022;
  • determination of the variable remuneration deriving from the results of the 2022 financial year for the Chief Executive Officer, Joint General Managers, key managers, the heads of internal control functions and the remaining key personnel.
  • verification of the absence of conditions for the application of ex-post correction mechanisms (malus and claw back);
  • report on the application of the 2021 remuneration policies to personnel not included in the category of key personnel;
  • Long Term Incentive plan (extension of the scope of beneficiaries); the LTI meetings were also attended by external consultants, who were involved by the company structures for this purpose;
  • agreement relating to the Variable Result Bonus;

***

Opening access gates to variable remuneration for all staff and verification of malus/claw back conditions.

Except as provided in the following paragraph, on the basis of the available evidence, the conditions of access to variable remuneration for all staff (so-called "gate") were met and, following the outcome of the check carried out on the ex post correction mechanisms, no malus/claw back conditions were found to exist.

In relation to individual conduct envisaged as a case of malus by the Remuneration Policies, in 2022 a malus mechanism was applied to Mr. Giovanni Bossi (Chief Executive Officer of the Bank until

2019) with reference to the deferred portion of the variable remuneration of the 2017 and 2018 incentive plans for Euro 105,000 and for n. 18,000 shares.

With reference to the variable remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and the Joint General Managers represented in the table below, it should be noted that in both cases the respective objectives have been achieved and consequently:

***

The remuneration package for the Chief Executive Officer was completed by the stability pact (equal to Euro 162,000 on an annual basis) and fringe benefits (for a counter-value, in 2022, equal to Euro 23,700).

The management agreement in place with the Chief Executive Officer then contains, in compliance with the principles set out in this remuneration policy: (i) a "severance", to be recognized upon signing of a settlement agreement and without prejudice to the application of corrective and equal factors: (a) in cases of "good leaver" (i.e. revocation without just cause; resignation for just cause; resignation motivated by a substantial and unshared change in the office, unless it depends on circumstances attributable to the manager or provision/indication of the competent authorities) to 24 months of the recurring remuneration ; and (b) in cases of "neutral leaver" (i.e. death, permanent disability that does not allow the continuation of the relationship, illness for a continuous period of 6 calendar months) to 12 months of the recurring salary; and (ii) a non-competition, non-solicitation and non-reversal agreement with a duration of 12 months, against the payment of an amount equal to 12 months of fixed remuneration.

Also with reference to FY 2022, a Variable Result Bonus (to be paid in the course of FY 2023 with reference to the results of FY 2022) has been envisaged for employees who are not already recipients of other incentive systems (by way of example, but not limited to, commercial staff and the key personnel) and a Welfare Plan (to be paid in the course of FY 2023 with reference to FY 2022). Both Plans have been defined by means of a Trade Union Agreement that governs their terms and conditions, including the possibility of converting 20% of the VRB into Welfare (which would thus be added to the Standard Welfare Credit provided for in the same agreement).

For the year 2022, the analysis of the ratio between the basic salary of women compared to that of men shows, with respect to the previous year, a reduction in the average salary gap between men and women, with particular emphasis in the category of Managers. Instead, as regards the category of employee, there is substantial parity. The analysis also includes foreign employees included in the employee category.

Table EU REM A: Remuneration policy

Qualitative disclosures

a) Information relating to the bodies that oversee remuneration

The main bodies and individuals of the Parent company involved in the preparation, approval and possible revision of the remuneration and incentive policy are: the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee, the CEO, the General Management, Human Resources, the Control Functions and the Strategic Business Plan, Planning and Management Control Department.

b) Information relating to the design and structure of the remuneration system for identified staff.

The structure of the variable remuneration component must be compatible with the risk analyses undertaken by the banking group and, in order to be sustainable, must be compatible with the levels of capital and liquidity in the medium and long term.

In line with the Supervisory Provisions, the Banca Ifis Group cannot be classified as a "bank of smaller size or operational complexity" and is therefore required to apply the entire discipline "proportionally", i.e. taking into account the characteristics and size as well as the riskiness and complexity of the activity carried out. However, the Group is not required to apply the above more detailed rules of Section III of the Supervisory Provisions to key personnel whose annual variable remuneration meets the following two conditions:

  • does not exceed 50.000 Euro and
  • does not represent more than one third of the total annual remuneration

For "particularly high" variable remuneration amount: 25% of the average total remuneration of Italian high earners, as resulting from the most recent report published by the EBA and 10 times the average total remuneration of the Ifis Group's employees. For 2022, the particularly high amount was identified as 435.000 Euro (equal to 25% of the average total remuneration of Italian high earners).

The methods of payment of variable remuneration (short-term incentive scheme) for the key personnel adopted by the Banca Ifis Group are summarised below:

Upfront Deferment
equal to or less than
the materiality
threshold
100% cash
higher than the
materiality
threshold and not
of particularly high
amount
60% upfront, of which:
50% (i.e. 30% of the total variable
remuneration) in Banca Ifis shares, which
may be exercised at the end of the retention
period of 1 year
50% (i.e. 30% of the total variable
remuneration) paid in cash
40% deferred over 4 years starting in the year
following the year in which the up-front portion
accrues, of which:
- 50% (i.e. 20% of the total variable remuneration)
in Banca Ifis shares, which may be exercised at
the end of the further retention period of 1 year
- 50% (i.e. 20% of the total variable remuneration)
in cash, subject to annual revaluation at the legal
rate in force over time.
of particularly high
amount
40% upfront, of which:
50% (i.e. 20% of the total variable
÷
remuneration) in Banca Ifis shares, which
may be exercised at the end of the retention
period of 1 year
50% (i.e. 20% of the total variable
remuneration) paid in cash
60% deferred over 5 years starting in the year
following the year in which the up-front portion
accrues, of which:
- 55% (i.e. 33% of the total variable remuneration)
in Banca Ifis shares, which may be exercised at
the end of the further retention period of 1 year
- 45% (i.e. 27% of the total variable remuneration)
in cash, subject to annual revaluation at the legal
rate in force over time.

Following the resolutions passed in 2021 by the Board of Directors and Shareholders' Meeting - each insofar as competent - the introduction was envisaged of a "2021-2023 Long Term Incentive Plan" (the "LTI Plan"), which sets forth the assignment to the Bank and Group's top managers duly identified to this end by the Board of Directors, free of charge, of a certain number of options that will give the right to purchase, at a specific strike price, a corresponding number of Banca Ifis S.p.A. shares.

c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes.

Access to the variable portion for all personnel is subject to compliance with the conditions for access (the "gate") provided for by the following indicators measured at year-end:

  • on the basis of a measure of risk-adjusted profitability, such as RORAC (return on risk-adjusted capital) defined as the ratio between Net Income and Capital absorbed by pillar one risks (i.e. 8% Pillar 1 Risk Weighted Asset (RWA)), the [RORAC/RORAC*] indicator, where RORAC* is the RORAC approved by the Board of Directors for the reporting year concurrent with the submitted annual business plan/budget, must be no less 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 short term liquidity indicator Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of the Group, 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 100%, for the medium-long term liquidity indicator Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) of the Group. 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).

Failure to meet one of these conditions will result in variable pay not being awarded.

Without prejudice to the opening of the access gates, in the presence of adverse scenarios, exceptional and unforeseeable situations, as well as in the event of a 20% lower-than-expected Gross Profit figure for the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors may assess - on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, subject to the opinion of the Risk Committee - a redefinition of the amounts of variable remuneration for the various categories of staff, with a consequent pro-rata reduction.

d) The ratios between fixed and variable remuneration set in accordance with point (g) of Article 94(1) CRD.

The remuneration of key personnel is made up of an all-inclusive annual remuneration (RAL) and a variable component defined in advance for each individual, in relation to the role held. The limit on the fixed/variable ratio is 1:1, with the exception of:

  • the Chief Executive Officer for which the Shareholders' Meeting held on 21 December 2021 approved the definition, with effect from FY 2022, of a ratio between the variable and fixed components of remuneration of a maximum of 1,5:1 in compliance with that permitted by Title IV, Chapter 2, Section III of the Supervisory Provisions;
  • the Heads of the control functions (Risk Management, Compliance, Internal Audit, Anti-Money Laundering) for whom the remuneration package is structured with a prevailing fixed component and a limited variable part that may not exceed 33% of the fixed remuneration.

When determining the remuneration of the key personnel belonging to the control functions, incentive mechanisms linked to economic results are in any case excluded

With regard to the Manager charged and the Head of the Human Resources Department, the variable remuneration is contained.

e) Description of the ways in which the institution seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration.

The Bank defines an annual Short Term Incentive Plan (STI), the payment of which - subject to the opening of the access gates - is linked to the achievement of specific qualitative and quantitative performance objectives, assigned to the recipients of the plan.

Goals are declined within a performance scorecard.

The performance scorecard includes a predefined number of indicators; each indicator is given a weight in percentage terms on the total of at least 10% to ensure the significance of the objective and no more than 30% to ensure an adequate weighting of the multiple objectives.

The variable remuneration accrues according to a result curve based on the levels of achievement of the objectives; the result obtained by each KPI determines a weighted score, on a recognition curve varying between a minimum and a maximum achievable; the sum of the weighted scores obtained corresponds to the performance achieved, in proportion to which, only if at least equal to a prefixed minimum score, the amount of the incentive is quantified; the latter cannot, in any case, exceed a prefixed maximum level.

f) Description of the ways in which the institution seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of longterm performance.

With regard to ex post correction mechanisms, the following should be noted.

The deferred variable component is subject to the following malus mechanisms which reduce, up to zero, the amount previously determined before payment.

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

The criteria envisaged are checked in each of the three financial years 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.

As regards the claw back, the related criteria are also checked in each of the three financial years closed after calculation of the variable component (accrual period) and are applied when the envisaged conditions are met, except for key personnel for whom that audit must be carried out

in each of the following five financial years closed.

Finally, it is expressly forbidden for individual employees to engage in personal hedging or insurance strategies on remuneration or other aspects that may alter or affect the effects of alignment with the company risk inherent in the remuneration mechanisms envisaged.

g) The description of the main parameters and rationale for any variable components scheme and any other non-cash benefit in accordance with point (f) of Article 450(1) CRR.

Variable remuneration in addition to short-term and long-term incentive schemes includes:

  • the "company productivity bonus" or "variable performance bonus"
  • one-off awards.
  • other one-off awards and/or contests;
  • stability pacts or retention bonuses;
  • entrance bonus
  • non-competition agreements,
  • extended notice agreements
  • benefits

h) Upon demand from the relevant Member State or competent authority, the total remuneration for each member of the management body or senior management.

Results of the assessment of the Internal Audit

In compliance with the requirements of Bank of Italy Circular 285 and the internal regulations of the Banca Ifis Group, the Internal Audit Function carried out a specific check on the remuneration and incentive policies and practices to assess their effective compliance with the reference legislation in matter.

The control activities concerned, in particular, the following areas:

• the definition of remuneration policies in order to verify compliance with the regulatory framework and the adequacy in favouring balanced mechanisms of governance and development of the Group; in this context, the need was recognized to conclude the internal process for the issue of the legislation aimed at better defining the ways in which the Group intends to pursue complete gender equality among personnel;

• the application of the policies in the remuneration and incentive practices in order to i) evaluate, on the basis of sample checks, the real action of the Group with respect to the reference principles also with regard to the disbursement phase; ii) to guarantee the accuracy of the identification process of the "key personnel" and the correct definition of the related perimeter;

• compliance with the indications of the Supervisory Authorities, as well as the evolutions with respect to previous areas of improvement suggested by the Internal Audit Function, aimed at directing the action of the Banca Ifis Group to the best practices of the sector.

As a result of the checks, Internal Audit expressed a favourable opinion on the remuneration and incentive policies and practices of the Banca Ifis Group.

The results of the audit activities were presented to the Remuneration Committee on 21 March 2023.

3. Identification of "key personnel" (or "identified staff")

The Supervisory Provisions for Banks on Remuneration and Incentive Policies and Practices - Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013 govern the process for identifying the "key personnel", i.e. the categories of personnel whose activities have a material impact on the Bank's risk profile, which the Bank is required to carry out annually.

The Provisions of the Bank of Italy that implemented the changes introduced by CRD V (Directive 2019/878/EU) on remuneration policies and practices and the European Banking Authority's Guidelines implementing Directive 2013/36/EU (EBA/GL/2021/04) set out the criteria for identifying personnel who take significant risks for the bank or the group to which they belong, the so-called key personnel or risk-takers: in particular, the CRDV identifies the - non-exhaustive - list of staff members who are to be considered risk-takers and gives the EBA the power to clarify certain definitions for the correct identification of these individuals, as well as to define criteria for the identification of additional individuals whose activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the entity30 .

For the purpose of the process of identifying the key personnel, the European legislator established - first with Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014, then subsequently repealed by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/923 (hereinafter the "Delegated Regulation") - regulatory technical standards, which identify the criteria for defining managerial responsibilities, control functions, the relevant business unit/company and the significant impact on the risk profile of the business unit/company in question, and the criteria for identifying staff members or categories of staff whose professional

30 Bank of Italy Circular no. 285/2013 (37th update), Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section I, par. 6

activities have an impact on the institution's risk profile comparably as material as that of the categories of staff mentioned in Article 92(3) of the CRD.

In order to identify the key personnel, the Bank therefore applies, in addition to the Provisions of the Bank of Italy as in Circular no. 285 of 2013, the technical standards of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/923.

The Bank, in its capacity as Parent company, identifies the key personnel for the Group, having regard to all Group companies, whether or not they are subject to the discipline on an individual basis. The Bank, if necessary, identifies and applies criteria in addition to those established in the aforementioned Regulation, in order to identify additional personnel who take on risks relevant to the group.

The function responsible for preparing the policy governing the identification process of the key personnel, which forms an integral part of the Bank's remuneration and incentive policy, is the Human Resources function of the Parent company.

The Parent company Compliance function, as a control function, expresses itself on the compliance with the regulatory framework of the policies for the identification of key personnel.

The Parent company Risk Management function, as a control function, supports the Human Resources function, as far as it is concerned, in verifying the existence of the quality requirements referred to in art. 3 of the Delegated Regulation.

The Parent company Internal Audit function, as a control function, on the other hand verifies ex post the compliance of the identification process of the key personnel with this policy.

As part of the identification process of the key personnel, the companies of the Group actively participate by providing the Human Resources function of the Parent company with the documentation and information necessary for the purpose and abide by the indications received.

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

  • identification of the scope of analysis;
  • collection and analysis of all regulatory and internal governance legislation;
  • verification of correspondence with the qualitative criteria referred to in Article 5 of the Regulation;
  • verification of correspondence with the quantitative criteria referred to in Article 6 of the Regulation;
  • drafting of the self-assessment document and related monitoring;
  • presentation of the Self-Assessment document to the Remuneration Committee and approval by the Board of Directors of the Bank and related implementation by the subsidiaries;
  • approval of the document by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Bank (and its banking subsidiaries) as part of the approval of the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid.

3.1. Corporate bodies involved in the approval of policies relating to the identification process of the key personnel

The Remuneration Committee submits this Policy for subsequent approval by the Board of Directors of the Parent company and the Shareholders' Meeting.

It is also specified that the Remuneration Committee:

  • has the task of proposing the remuneration of the staff whose remuneration and incentive systems are decided by the body with strategic supervisory functions in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph;
  • supports the Board of Directors in the review of policies at least once a year, in the analysis of the gender neutrality of remuneration policies and in the verification of the gender pay gap and its evolution over time. Reasons for the gender pay gap are appropriately documented and corrective action taken where necessary.
  • has advisory tasks regarding determination of the criteria for the remuneration of all key personnel;
  • expresses its opinion, also making use of the information received from the competent corporate functions, on the results of the identification process of the key personnel, including any exclusions;
  • directly supervises the correct application of the rules relating to the remuneration of the heads of company control functions, in close collaboration with the body with control functions;
  • prepares the documentation to be submitted to the body with strategic supervisory functions for the related decisions;
  • collaborates with the other internal committees of the body with strategic supervisory functions, in particular with the Control and Risk Committee, where present;
  • ensures the involvement of all competent company functions in the process of preparing and monitoring remuneration and incentive policies and practices;
  • provides an opinion, making use of the information received by the competent company functions, on the achievement of performance objectives which are linked to the incentive plans and on the ascertainment of other conditions for the payment of remuneration;
  • provides appropriate feedback on the activities carried out to the corporate bodies, including the Shareholders' Meeting.

In order to carry out its duties effectively and responsibly, the Remuneration Committee has access to company information relevant to this purpose and has sufficient financial resources to ensure its operational independence.

As regards the activities of the Board of Directors, please refer to what is specified below in paragraph 3.7 of this document.

For further details on the additional roles played by the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meeting, within the scope of the remuneration policies, reference should instead be made to the Report on Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid.

3.2. Identification of the scope of analysis

For the purpose of identifying the key personnel, the Parent company's Human Resources Department considers all the Group's personnel as a whole and therefore the members of the bodies with strategic supervision, management and control functions, the Group's employees and collaborators.

The Human Resources Department of the Parent company then proceeds with the collection and verification of all internal regulatory legislation, in order to identify the roles of greater responsibility within the entire organisational structure of the Group.

Therefore, the scope of the analysis takes into account the following roles within the Group:

  • executive and non-executive members of the Boards of Directors;
  • the General Management;
  • the Heads of the Control functions;
  • the Heads of the functions reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and/or the General Management (including the Heads of the main business lines and the Heads of the relevant operating/company units);
  • the Managers of the second level organisational units;
  • the collaborators of the Group.

3.3 Determination of the financial year of reference for the calculation of variable remuneration

For the purposes of the self-assessment process of the key personnel, as provided for in Bank of Italy Circular no. 285/2013, Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section I, par. 6, the analyses carried out in relation to the quantitative criteria are based on the information reported for the financial year preceding the financial year of assessment, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and recorded as of 31 December (the year preceding the financial year in which the variable remuneration is awarded).

In particular, the quantitative analysis is carried out with reference to all amounts of fixed and variable remuneration, calculated gross and on a full-time equivalent basis.

3.4 Verification of consistency with the qualitative criteria set out in Circular 285/2013, Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 6 to Article 5 of Regulation 2021/923

Once the scope of the analysis has been defined, all the aforementioned roles are classified by the Parent company's Human Resources Department, if the prerequisites are met, within the categories set out in Circular 285/2013, Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 6 and Article 5 of Regulation 2021/923.

The Bank also identifies criteria in addition to those established in the aforementioned Delegated Regulation, in order to make the attention reserved by the Supervisory Provisions of the Bank of Italy to "the executive directors; the general managers; the joint general managers; the deputy general managers and similar figures; the heads of the main lines of business, company functions or geographical areas; those who report directly to the bodies with strategic supervision, management and control functions; managers and higher-level personnel of the corporate control functions" as well

as particular categories of personnel such as "agents in financial and insurance activities and financial consultants qualified for out-of-office offer employed in external distribution networks". In particular, the Human Resources Department identifies the additional personnel who, due to the professional activities carried out and the risks monitored, can have a substantial impact on the Group's risk profile, taking into account the responsibilities entrusted and the activities carried out, the hierarchical levels, the delegations and the ability to affect, individually and/or collectively, the risk profile of the Group. The presence or absence of these requirements is identified based on the analysis of internal regulations.

The outcomes of the identification process are appropriately motivated and formalised by Human Resources in the Self-Assessment document, with the support, as far as is within the remit of Compliance and Risk Management.

3.5 Verification of correspondence with the quantitative criteria set forth in Circular 285/2013, Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 6, letter c) and Article 6 of the Regulation

Once the key personnel have been defined on the basis of the qualitative criteria set forth in Article 5 of the Delegated Regulations, Human Resources proceeds to verify the existence of the quantitative criteria set forth in Circular 285/2013, Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 6, letter c) and Article 6 of the same Delegated Regulation, letters a) and b). The outcomes of the identification process are appropriately motivated and formalised by Human Resources in the Self-Assessment document.

3.5.1 Exclusion of key personnel

If the Bank considers that the staff identified in implementation of Article 6, paragraph 1, of Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 923/2021 may not be considered as key personnel, the Bank, through Corporate Affairs and on the advice of Human Resources, shall promptly, and in any event within six months of the end of the previous financial year, send the Bank of Italy the application for prior authorisation referred to in Article 6, paragraph 3, of Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 923/2021 (i.e., notification of the exclusions concerning personnel whose total remuneration amount is equal to or greater than 750.000 Euro, or for banks with more than 1.000 employees, personnel who fall within the 0,3% of personnel who are assigned the highest total remuneration in the previous financial year or for the previous financial year ).

The request for prior authorisation is accompanied by the information identified in Annex A referred to in Part One, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section I of the Supervisory Provisions.

The exclusion lasts one year and concerns the year following the one in which the notification is made, with the exception of the exclusions notified for the first time, which also extend to the year in which the notification is submitted.

The application for authorisation may cumulatively concern several employees or categories of personnel whose exclusion is based on the same conditions, provided that the staff for which the exclusion is requested are clearly identifiable and the same level of information required under this paragraph is guaranteed.

Applications for authorisation for exclusions concerning staff to whom an amount of total remuneration equal to or greater than 1 million Euro is recognised (see Article 6, paragraph 4 of the

Delegated Regulation) are in any case submitted individually for each employee. In these cases, the Delegated Regulation states that exclusion may only be authorised in exceptional circumstances, by which is meant unusual or infrequent situations that lead to the staff member not being considered a risk-taker. The existence of exceptional circumstances must be demonstrated in the permit application.

3.6 Drafting of the Self-assessment document and related monitoring

The Group's Self-assessment document is drawn up annually by the Human Resources Department of the Parent company, which constitutes the preparatory phase for the preparation of the remuneration and incentive policies for the Group's personnel and which contains:

  • the internal regulations of reference;
  • qualitative and quantitative analysis pursuant to Articles 5 and 6 of the Delegated Regulation;
  • the number of personnel identified as key personnel;
  • the number of individuals identified for the first time;
  • individual names or identifiers;

.

  • the description of the roles and responsibilities of the staff;
  • a comparison with the results of the previous identification process.

The same information concerns any personnel excluded and those for whom a request for preventive authorisation of exclusion has been submitted or is intended to be submitted, as regulated in paragraph 3.4.1.

The Human Resources function of the Parent company, with the support of the Parent company's Compliance, monitors the consistency of the contents of the Self-Assessment document with respect to any organisational changes that have occurred in order to assess the need for revision of the document itself in order to make it consistent with the organisational changes made.

3.7 Submission of the Self-assessment document to the Remuneration Committee and approval of the Board of Directors

The Self-assessment document is submitted for evaluation by the Parent company's Remuneration Committee and, in the event of a favourable opinion from the latter, for the approval of the Board of Directors of the Parent company and implemented by the other subsidiaries.

Following the aforementioned decisions, the subsidiaries then abide by the indications received and remain in any case responsible for compliance with the legislation directly applicable to them and for the correct implementation of the guidelines provided by the Parent company.
