Dear Shareholders,

in the presentation for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting for the 2019 Financial Statements and the relative Directors' Report we propose the allocation of the net profit of Euro 14,486,568.37 as follows:

- to the legal reserve, until reaching the limit set by
Article 2430 of the Civil Code.
Euro 32,418.32
- reserve for unrealised exchange gains Euro 62,494.52
- to each of the 53,130,347 ordinary shares in circulation
(excluding the 7,863,255 treasury shares held at March
4, 2020), a dividend of Euro 0.12 before withholding
taxes for an amount of Euro 6,375,641.64
- to retained earnings the residual amount, equal to Euro 8,016,013.89

The dividend will be paid from April 29, 2020, with record date of April 28, 2020 and coupon date (No. 13) of April 27, 2020.

c. Details of independent experts involved in the preparation of the remuneration policy

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

d. Purposes of the remuneration policy, underlying principles and any changes to the policy compared to the previous year.

The remuneration policy of BasicNet S.p.A., described below, has been prepared with reference to the financial years 2019, 2020 and 2021, in line with the mandate of the Directors in office, without prejudice to the need to intervene, also in consideration of regulatory changes in implementation of EU Directive 828/2017 on Shareholders' Rights, which will be adequately examined and brought to the attention of the Board of Directors and, in the case of substantial interventions, to the Shareholders' Meeting. The purpose of the remuneration policy, in continuity with previous years, is to establish in the Company's interest a remuneration that is adequate to attract, retain and motivate Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities with the professional qualities required to successfully oversee the management of the Company and the Group and to align interests with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating value for all shareholders in the medium to long term.

The principles underlying the remuneration policy are:

  • (i) ensure that the fixed remuneration shall not only sufficiently but adequately remunerate the performance of the Managers with strategic responsibilities;
  • (ii) variable remuneration is not provided for ex-ante when partial performance targets are reached, with the aim of maximising the focus of resources on the ultimate corporate objective of creating value, and to encourage teamwork and a sense of belonging to BasicNet, maximising the exchange of experience and dialogue between the managers of the various Group companies, as well as the process of problem-solving and timely intervention to overcome short-term obstacles, at the same time lowering the level of competition between them. This principle has been carefully assessed in relation to the Group's corporate culture, which is a recognized, rooted and key element of BasicNet's success;
  • (iii) fostering the loyalty and protection of the Group's key personnel, encouraging their permanence, through the development of internal professional growth and the recognition of benefits to employees.

Exceptionally and non-recurrently, the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, or the Chief Executive Officer with reference to other Executives, may grant any form of extraordinary recognition to Executive Directors and/or Managers with strategic responsibilities, in the form of one-off payments, in relation to their specific contribution to the achievement, or methods of achievement, of particular strategic or operating results or, exceptionally, with the aim of retaining personnel.

e. Description of the fixed and variable remuneration component policies, particularly in relation to the weighting in terms of overall remuneration and a distinction between the short and long-term variable component.

The remuneration structure establishes:

• a fixed remuneration, based on the responsibility and competences related to the office held by each Director. The fixed component is sufficient to remunerate the performance of the Director according to the responsibilities of his or her office, regardless of the additional component or

bonus, if any; the remuneration policy does not provide for any contractually agreed variable remuneration component in the Group's remuneration structure.

• subject to the non-existence of any variable remuneration components in the Group remuneration contractual structure, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, and having consulted the Related Parties Committee, reserves the faculty to establish any additional remuneration component. This amount is normally identified on approval of the preliminary results where advances for the key financial indicators are reported on the previous year and the forecast result for the current year. For Managers with strategic responsibilities, any additional compensation is, in principle, intended to reward strong results by the entire Company, with joint responsibility among management and the possibility to determine such.

f. Policy in relation to non-monetary benefits.

In addition to the fixed component, a number of non-monetary benefits may be conferred, such as, for example purposes, life or health insurance policies for Directors and/or the allocation of a motor vehicle, also for private use. In addition, the Chairperson of BasicNet S.p.A., for the duration of mandate, is granted use of a property located within the "BasicVillage" in Turin called "Foresteria – loft People on the move."

g. Description of the performance objectives upon which the variable components are based and disclosure on the link between the change in results and the change in remuneration.

The Group has not introduced remuneration plans based on an evaluation of the performance objectives or on financial instruments of any type.

h. Criteria utilised for the evaluation of the performance objectives on which the conferment of shares, options, other financial instruments or other variable remuneration components is based.

The Group has not introduced remuneration plans based on an evaluation of the performance objectives or on financial instruments of any type.

i. Information establishing the link between the remuneration policy and the pursuit of long-term corporate goals and with the risk management policy, where established.

The structure of the fixed remuneration is established so as to produce conduct focused on the development of operations and the medium/long-term results and to encourage the undertaking of responsibility for such, without possible deviations which encourage the contractualisation of variable emoluments paid on the basis of short-term results. The Board in fact considers that the fixed remuneration allocated is in line with market rates and does not require further parameterisation of the variable.

j. Vesting periods, any systems of deferred payment and indexing of deferred payments and the criteria utilised for the determination of these periods and, if established, ex-post correction mechanisms.

This is not applicable to the Group remuneration policies.

Claw-back Clause

There are no contractual clauses which permit the company to request the repayment, in full or in part, of the variable component of the remuneration paid, determined on the basis of figures which subsequently are manifestly erroneous in the view of the fact, and also outlined in the previous point e) that any additional remuneration is awarded ex-post.

k. Clauses for the maintenance in portfolio of financial instruments after their acquisition: maintenance periods and criteria utilised for the establishment of this period.

This is not applicable to the Group remuneration policies.

l. Policy relating to benefits on termination of office, with specification of the circumstances giving rise to such rights and any link between this benefit and the Company performance.

The Board, on the indication of the Shareholders' Meeting, and where the Meeting itself has not decided, establishes the amount of post-employment benefits through an annual allocation, also provided through a leading insurance company, on behalf of the Company, of an insurance policy, related to an annual constant premium of an amount equalling the amount of the post-employment benefit, in favour of the Chairperson or other Executive Directors.

The Board may approve an indemnity in the case of the advanced conclusion of mandate to the Chairperson or other Executive Directors.

The Board of Directors may sign non-competition agreements with Executive Directors for a period subsequent to the conclusion of mandate, establishing a fee for this commitment. There is no link between such benefits and the Company performance.

m. Insurance coverage, social security or pension payments, other than obligatory payments.

Insurance coverage, social security or pension payments, other than the obligatory payments, are not provided for, with the exception of any non-monetary benefits represented by life or health policies for a number of Executive Directors.

A third-party D&O - Directors' & Officers' Liability civil liability policy covers the corporate boards and the Executives for circumstances relating to the exercise of their functions, excluding incidences of fraud. This however concerns insurance cover (structurally not consisting of consideration) signed independently of the company for the benefit of all Group Directors and Statutory Auditors in office.

n. Remuneration policy in relation to: (i) Independent Directors;(ii) Committee attendance and (iii) the discharge of particular positions (Chairperson, Vice Chairperson).

The Shareholders' Meeting did not provide for different remuneration for Independent Directors compared with the other members of the Board of Directors.

The remuneration for the Control and Risk Committees, the Supervisory Board, the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting and the Internal Audit Manager is decided by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors. The remuneration of the Remuneration Committee is decided by the Board of Directors, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors. There is no additional remuneration for Committee Chairpersons.

The remuneration of Executive Directors, Managers with strategic responsibilities and Senior Directors is decided by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors. As part of its remuneration policies, the Committee proposes the remuneration of BasicNet's Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities who hold operational positions with the subsidiaries.

The fees for the Board of Statutory Auditors are determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2402 of the Civil Code. The remuneration takes into account the responsibilities and commitment of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and any in-depth analysis of the quantification of the commitment required, formulated by the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors in view of the Shareholders' Meeting called to determine the remuneration of the control board.

o. Remuneration policy established using the policies of other companies as a benchmark, and the criteria utilised for the choice of these companies.

For the setting of the remuneration policy, BasicNet did not refer to the remuneration policies of other companies;

o-bis The elements of the remuneration policy from which, in the presence of exceptional circumstances, it is possible to derogate, and without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation No. 17221 of March 12, 2010, any further procedural conditions under which the derogation may be applied.

Given the discretion that the Board has reserved for itself, the allocation of any bonuses or additional remuneration components to Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities must be approved in accordance with Regulation No. 17221 of March 12, 2010.

Where the necessary number of attendances for the constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting is not reached, the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting, following a lapse of time considered adequate after the time fixed for the beginning of the Shareholders' Meeting, announces such to the attendees, declaring the meeting void and postponing the handling of the matters on the Agenda to the subsequent call.

The business of the Shareholders' Meeting may be suspended if the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting considers such correct, and with the consent of the meeting, for a period of not greater than three hours.

In handling the matters on the Agenda, the Chairperson, with the consent of the Meeting, may follow a different Agenda from that posted on the Call Notice.

Similarly, a single discussion on two or more points on the Agenda may be held.

The matters are handled by the Chairperson and, on his or her invitation, by the Directors, by the Statutory Auditors, by the employees of the Company and/or the subsidiaries, in addition to any external experts invited. Except where the Chairperson considers it opportune or where a specific request is presented, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, the documentation which is filed in advance is not read, which is made available to

interested parties as indicated in the Call Notice.

The Chairperson, taking account of the subject matter and importance of the individual items on the Agenda, may establish at the start of the meeting the time to be allotted to each speaker, which must not be less than 10 minutes.

The Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting may remind speakers to comply with the time limits for speaking established in advance and to keep to the matters stated in the Agenda.

Those with voting rights have the right to take the floor on each of the matters under discussion. Those who have already made a contribution may request to take the floor for a second occasion on the same matter only to make a reply or to formulate a voting proposal. Those who wish to take the floor must request such in writing from the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting or the secretary, indicating the matter on the Agenda which the contribution concerns. The request may be presented until the Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting has declared the discussion on the matter closed.

The Chairperson and, on his or her invitation, the Directors, Statutory Auditors, employees of the Company and/or subsidiaries, in addition to any external experts invited, respond to orators at the end of all contributions under discussion, or after each contribution, taking account also of any questions drawn up by shareholders before the Shareholders' Meeting, which have not been responded to by the Company.

Article 6

The voting at the Meeting is made by open ballot.

The Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting adopts the appropriate measures for the orderly carrying out of votes. The Chairperson of the Shareholders' Meeting may require, according to the circumstances, that the voting on a particular issue is carried out immediately after the closure on the discussion on the issue, or at the end of the discussion of all matters on the Agenda.

The vote must be clear, by the raising of hands or in another matter indicated by the Chairperson at the time of voting, also through the use of technical instruments which support the counting of votes. The votes expressed in a manner other than that indicated by the Chairperson of the meeting are void. If the vote is not unanimous, the Chairperson, on a case by case basis, invites those abstaining and those voting against, if a lesser number than those in favour, to declare or make known, also through the method or instrument indicated, their intention in relation to the vote.

Following the vote and the necessary counting with the support of the tellers and the secretary, the Chairperson proclaims the results of voting.
