According to the provisions of art. 123 ter, paragraph 6, of the TUF, the Shareholders' Meeting shall express a non-binding consultative vote on the second section of the Report.

The Report was approved by the Board of Directors on March 28, 2024.

SECTION I

Remuneration policy for corporate bodies and key management personnel

This section illustrates the Remuneration Policy of Buzzi (prepared pursuant to TUF and in accordance with the Issuers' Regulation as well as the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code) regarding the members of its Board of Directors and of its Statutory Auditors' Committee, as well as the executive with strategic responsibilities ("ESR"),

The 2023 financial year was characterized by some significant events in the governance and organizational structure of the company. Firstly, on January 1, 2023 the contribution in kind of the business unit relating to the Italian cement operations in favor of the wholly owned company Buzzi Unicem Srl became effective. Consequently, Buzzi SpA ceased its direct operational business, assuming the central and fundamental role of sector holding company with the aim of efficiently owning, managing and coordinating all the subsidiaries operating in the fields of cement, concrete, binders and other ancillary activities in the various countries where the group operates. With the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of May 2023, the company name Buzzi Unicem was changed to Buzzi SpA, while the name Buzzi Unicem was assumed by the wholly owned subsidiary, operating on the Italian market.

Secondly, following the renewal of the corporate bodies approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of May 12, 2023, the Board of Directors confirmed the non-executive Chairman (in the person of Veronica Buzzi) and the Chief Executive Officer (in the person of Pietro Buzzi), to whom executive powers and authorizations are conferred.

The Board of Directors also appointed Dirk Beese, (formerly CEO at Dickerhoff) as General Manager of the group effective from July 1, 2023 for a duration of 3 years.

The CEO Dyckerhoff and the CEO USA, in the new organization chart, no longer report directly to CEO, but to the General Manager, as, moreover, does the Country Manager Italy.

As a result of the new operational and organizational structure of the Company and the group, the Board of Directors of August 3, 2023, identified the new managers with strategic duties:

  • Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

  • General Manager

  • Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Luigi Buzzi, which is also a member of the Board of Directors. The change of organizational structure and the consequent variation of ESR also require some changes to the Remuneration Policy. In particular, compared to the previous Policy, in addition to the redefinition of the perimeter of the ESR, the new Policy establishes the criteria of the remuneration of the new figure of General Manager (in relation to which a specific regulation of the treatment provided for at the end of the office has also been introduced) and the criteria and the content of the long – term incentive plan for CEO, General Manager and CTO; in addition, the circumstances entitling to a claw back of variable remuneration have been partially redefined (extending this possibility to all cases where the willful or grossly negligent conduct of the beneficiary has caused prejudice to the company) and the cases in which the Remuneration Policy may be waived have been better detailed.

It should also be noted that this report also deals with the remuneration of Luigi (Gigi) Buzzi (henceforth referred to as Gigi Buzzi to distinguish him from his namesake Luigi Buzzi who has the role of Chief Technology Officer - CTO) which has, in Buzzi SpA, as employee, managerial functions but who does not qualify for such functions as ESR. However, as a member of the Board of Directors, the information on his remuneration is made available to the market (with the clarification that as manager of the company is the recipient of a fixed remuneration and an MBO like other managers of the Company and of the group).

1. Bodies involved in the preparation and approval of the Remuneration Policy (Annex 3A, letters a), b) and d) Issuers' Regulation)

The bodies involved in the preparation, approval and implementation of the Remuneration Policy are the following:

Shareholders' Meeting

  • it establishes the overall remuneration of the Board of Directors and of the Statutory Auditors;
  • it expresses a binding vote on the Remuneration Policy contained in Section I of this Report;
  • it expresses a non-binding vote on the compensation paid annually indicated in Section II of this Report;

Board of Directors

  • in case of determination by the Shareholders' Meeting of an overall compensation of the Board of Directors, it distributes this compensation among its members;
  • it defines the Remuneration Policy and its possible revision as well as the Report on Remuneration Policy and compensation paid to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • it establishes, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee for Related-Party Transactions,

where applicable, the remuneration of the CEO, the General Manager and the Directors in charge of special tasks pursuant to art. 2389 of the Italian civil code;

Related Parties Committee

The Related Parties Committee (composed exclusively of independent directors) expresses its opinion on the remuneration of the CEO, the General Manager, the Directors who are assigned special duties pursuant to article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities when such remuneration exceeds the threshold of EUR 300,000.00, in accordance with the provisions of the current Procedure for Related Party Transactions.

Independent directors

  • they represent half of the directors and contribute to the evaluation and discussion within the meetings of the Board of Directors regarding the Remuneration Policy and its implementation, in particular concerning the remuneration of the CEO, the General Manager and of the Directors in charge of special tasks;

CEO

  • he is responsible for the implementation of the Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, he establishes, after obtaining the opinion of the Committee for Related-Party Transactions, where applicable, the remuneration of ESR other than the General Manager;

Statutory Auditors' Committee

  • it has a general supervisory task over the Remuneration Policy and its implementation;
  • it issues the opinion on the occasion of the awarding of compensation pursuant to art. 2389 of the Italian Civil Code to Directors in charge of special tasks.

The Company has not currently established a Remuneration Committee, also due to the involvement of the Independent Directors (who, as already mentioned, are half of the members of the Board of Directors) in the process of determining the remuneration of executive Directors. Moreover, the Related Parties Committee, during the year, was called upon several times to express its opinion on the remuneration of ESR. In particular, it expressed its opinion on the attribution of remuneration to the General Manager, on the outcomes of the MBO 2022 and of the LTI 2020-2022 and on the attribution of objectives and compensation related to the MBO 2023. The Related Parties Committee was also involved to express its opinion on the attribution of objectives and compensation related to the MBO 2024 and the new LTI 2024-2026 plan, and on the regulations of the treatment envisaged upon termination of office for the General Manager.

In preparing the Remuneration Policy, the Company did not involve any independent external experts.

2. Considerations on compensation and working conditions of employees in determining the Remuneration Policy (Annex 3A, letter c) Issuers' Regulation)

Buzzi is characterized by being a multiregional group operating in areas with different and articulated needs. Human resources are considered as a constant factor for Company growth and the enhancement of human capital has always been a pillar on which the competitive development of the Company is based.

Buzzi strives to ensure that, in each country where the group operates, not only the individual regulations protecting working conditions are respected but also the skills and professional growth of all employees are enhanced.

As regards employee remuneration, a total compensation system has been established for some time, i.e. a remuneration package which, in addition to the basic remuneration, may include variable remuneration (typically linked to performance) at the level of individuals or categories of workers, benefits and cash bonuses.

According to the different and articulated needs of the countries where the group operates, initiatives have been adopted that contribute to improving the living conditions of employees, and that may include a physical work environment offering guarantees of safety, attention to gender diversity issues, professional development and practical training in the workplace in order to develop skills and competences, training courses, the opportunity to move to more mature leadership roles and benefits such as food services or meal vouchers, health insurance, educational incentives (e.g. scholarships for children), paid vacation periods in addition to the annual amount of holidays if dedicated to volunteering, flexible working time, part-time working, supplementary pension and smart working.

The group aims to be socially responsible and to apply strict rules of conduct based on ethics in the relations with its employees and, in particular, to focus on the person the group applies strict ethical standards of conduct in its relations with its employees, with a strong focus on individuals and social responsibility in a broad sense. The pursuit of fairness and wage equity represents a key factor that influences the well-being of employees with a view to balancing the value generated by the employee and the enhancement perceived as a return.

The workplace health and safety (H&S) culture is widespread at all levels of the organization and testifies to a constant and high level of attention; in according with international best practice, a significant part of short-term variable remuneration is linked to H&S indicators.

3. Purposes, duration and possible revisions of the Remuneration Policy (Annex 3A, letter e), Issuers' Regulation)

Buzzi's Remuneration Policy aims to attract, retain and motivate qualified people with professional skills and qualities which are appropriate to the management needs of the company. This objective is pursued in a logic of prudent management and sustainability of results and costs over time, with a view to seeking the alignment of the interests of management with those of the Company and shareholders, by pursuing the goal of creating value for shareholders and stakeholders in the medium-long term. Furthermore, the Policy aims to facilitate the achievement of the Company's sustainability targets being consistent with the industrial strategy.

These targets are also pursued on the basis of short and long-term incentive plans, which must in any case also include objectives linked to sustainability indicators.

The company therefore adopts annual plans based on Management by Objectives (MBO) mechanisms which aim, on the one hand, at encouraging the constant growth of the economic/financial and operational results of the company and of the group and, on the other hand, at pursuing the sustainability of the company's and the group's business.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors has adopted a new long-term incentive plan of a cash nature, linked to the achievement of economic/financial and non-financial objectives (described

in the following paragraph 4.3.3) destined to the CEO, the General Manager and the CTO. The new long-term incentive plan (LTI 2024-2026) has the following goals:

  • a) alignment of interest: making top management's interests consistent with the long-term interests of shareholders and with the long-term sustainable growth strategy of the group;
  • b) pay for performance: the remuneration structure, in particular the variable portion, reinforces the performance-driven culture by rewarding top performers;
  • c) motivation: the LTI plan aims to help motivate and retain top managers, while increasing the group's ability to prospectively attract new talent;
  • d) consistency with assumed responsibilities: the LTI plan is consistent with responsibilities, experience and skills of managers;
  • e) simplicity and transparency: the mechanisms and metrics chosen are simple and verifiable in the published consolidated financial statements and non-financial report;
  • f) prudence: the structure of the LTI plan is challenging but well balanced and does not encourage excessive risk-taking that could compromise the group's financial strength and healthy growth.

The Remuneration Policy has an annual duration. On the revisions made to the previous Policy, reference is made to the introductory part of the Policy.

4. Description of the Remuneration Policy (Annex 3A, letters f), g), h), i), n) and o) Issuers' Regulation)

4.1 Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

The remuneration of the Board of Directors is established by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting and is divided equally in the Board among all the directors, except for those who are also employees of the company, who are remunerated only in their capacity of employees. To the Chairman a double share is allocated compared to the directors by virtue of the general representation function attributed to him/her and of the functions performed as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Chairman also receives emoluments relating to any positions held in subsidiaries.

The remuneration of non-executive Directors does not depend on the economic results achieved by Buzzi and is established in a single fixed component commensurate with the commitment required and the skills and professionalism of the same. No variable component is foreseen in this case.

Non-executive Directors called to be part of internal committes are assigned by the Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Statutory Auditors' Committee, a fixed annual remuneration according to the commitment required.

The remuneration of Directors charged with special tasks is resolved by the Board of Directors in a fixed amount, after obtaining the opinion of the Statutory Auditors' Committee.

4.2 Remuneration of the members of the Statutory Auditors' Committee

The remuneration of the Statutory Auditors' Committee is established by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, pursuant to Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, in a fixed amount for the entire term of the office, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred for the office; it is appropriate to the commitment required and the skills and professionalism of the same and in line with the remuneration of other companies of comparable size and sector.

4.3 Remuneration of the CEO of Buzzi, of Directors being also employees of Buzzi and of the General Manager

Buzzi's CEO and Directors being also employees of Buzzi (collectively "Directors being also employees") and the General Manager are paid as employees and also receive emoluments in relation to any offices held in subsidiaries.

The remuneration as employee consists of a fixed component and a short-term variable component.

A long-term variable component is also provided for the CEO, the General Manager and the CTO (who, as mentioned, are the only individuals identified as ESR).

The targets of the goals are not indicated because they are based on internal forecasts that are not disclosed to the market.

4.3.1 Fixed component

The fixed component consists of the remuneration as an employee and of the emoluments for offices held in subsidiaries and aims at adequately remunerating the technical and managerial skills required for the position and the functions fulfilled and the consequent responsibilities.

The fixed component must be sufficient to adequately remunerate the performance even if the variable component is not paid due to the failure to achieve the objectives to which this component is linked.

The fixed component of the General Manager is established for a period of three years since the date of the assumption of the office (July 1, 2023) and is paid for a component of slightly less than 75% by the company and for the remaining portion by the subsidiary Dyckerhoff GmbH, under a part-time employment relationship with the same Dyckerhoff GmbH; the division of the fees between the two contracts is based on the estimated time spent as General Manager and the subsidiary Dyckerhoff GmbH (in which the General Manager retained the role of member of the Management Board).

4.3.2 Short-term variable component

In line with what is provided for the group's top management, the structure of the short-term variable component is established with reference to the remuneration as an employee and it is based on a Management by Objectives (MBO) mechanism which provides for the assignment of targets set annually, both of an economic/financial nature and of a non-financial nature representing other aspects of the company activity, also associated with ESG criteria, each with differentiated weights and with economic and objectively measurable weights prevailing.

There is a minimum threshold below which the right to variable remuneration does not accrue and, in the same way, there is a maximum limit above which the amount of variable remuneration awarded is not increased.

The economic/financial targets consist of achieving certain levels of recurring Adjusted EBIT (Adjusted EBIT is the EBIT reported in the consolidated financial statements adjusted by eliminating non-recurring items) of Italy, of Dyckerhoff (excluding, however, the results of the subsidiaries operating in Russia) of USA areas or of consolidated EBIT, according to the respective areas of responsibility and, only for the CEO and the General Manager, also of net consolidated profit attributable to shareholders. For the purposes of verifying the achievement of the aforementioned performance targets, reference is made to the data resulting from the

accounting statements prepared by the subsidiaries for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, by adjusting them to take into account non-recurring income and expenses as described in the consolidated financial statements of the company (see paragraph relating to "Alternative Performance Measures") as well as the write-downs of non-current assets.

The bonus level relating to the economic/financial targets varies according to the achievement of a minimum of 80% and a maximum of 120% compared to the corresponding parameter of the previous year and the budget forecast for the relevant year. MBO does not accrue below the minimum level, while with results higher than the maximum one, the amount of the bonus cannot in any case exceed the fixed maximum sum.

Non-financial targets consist of injury indices, and in particular of the group's LTIFR index1 (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) with respect to certain target levels set annually, or of other targets regarding environmental impact or energy efficiency.

Finally, for the recipients of MBOs other than the CEO and the General Manager, individual targets may be provided, concerning specific projects or the efficiency of the specific area of responsibility.

The annual MBO varies from a minimum of zero (in the event of failure to achieve all the targets assigned) up to a maximum – equal to 50% for the CEO and the General Manager equal to 40% for the CTO, Luigi Buzzi and to 30% for director Gigi Buzzi – of the fixed component of the remuneration as an employee depending on the level achieved of the targets assigned.

The payment of the MBO is made after the approval of the financial statements for the year in relation to which the variable part itself has matured provided that the beneficiary is still employed by the company on that date.

Below is a diagram of the annual MBOs envisaged for the CEO, the CTO and Director Luigi Buzzi, the Director Gigi Buzzi and the General Manager (with the clarification that for the latter l'MBO is for the 75% paid by Buzzi and for the 25% paid by Dyckerhoff GmbH):

The following table shows the ratio between the fixed and variable short-term component (annual MBO) of the remuneration as an employee if all the targets assigned are achieved. The calculation takes into account the ratio between the fixed component as employees net of noncash benefits2 and the short-term variable component of remuneration.

The long-term variable component of the CEO, the General Manager and the CTO, is

2 With regard to the CEO, the percentages in the table are calculated with reference to all sums received and, therefore, including, in addition to remuneration from employment, also emoluments paid by subsidiaries. In the event of a calculation made on employee remuneration alone, the percentages would be identical to those indicated in the table in the row referring to the General Manager

represented by the cash incentive plan for the years 2024-2026 ("LTI 2024-2026") approved by the Board of Directors on March 28, 2024, after obtaining the favorable opinion of the Committee for Related-Party Transactions, structured as follows:

  • it is objective and calculated according to the targets to be achieved at the end of the threeyear period of application of the plan, both of an economic/financial nature and related to corporate social responsibility;
  • there is a minimum threshold below which the right to variable remuneration does not accrue and, in the same way, there is a maximum limit;
  • it is determined with reference to the remuneration as employees up to a maximum of 60% of the annual average of the beneficiary's fixed component for the three-year period 2024- 2026.

The targets of the plan and their relative weight in determining the incentive are the ones indicated in the following table:

target = cap 100% 100% 18.0%
Total if the total goals is reached at 80% 30%
Total if the total goals is reached at 100% 60%

The Net Cash Flow generated by operating activities and the Net Revenues refer to the values so stated in the consolidated financial statements of the company for the reporting period, adjusted by excluding the results of companies operating in Russia.

The ROCE is calculated as the ratio between EBIT(as reported in the company's consolidated financial statements, adjusted to exclude non-recurring items and the results of companies operating in Russia), and Capital Employed (equal to the difference between Total Assets and Current Liabilities as reported in the consolidated financial statements, adjusted to exclude the results of companies operating in Russia).

The CO2 Scope1 net emissions target is the CO2 emissions target as of 31 December 2026 expressed in kilograms of CO2 per ton of cementitious material. In case the performance of all

the targets is equal to or exceed 100%, the 100% payout of the LTI Incentive, equal to 60% of the average of the fixed component of the three-year period 2024-2026, shall be awarded. In case the performance of all targets is under 80%, no LTI incentive shall be due. In all other cases the final award of the LTI Incentive shall be determined by the result of the combination of the reached targets, as per the above table. For performances within the ranges of values shown in the table, the value will be determined by applying linear interpolation.

It should be noted that for the General Manager the LTI 2024-2026 is 75% borne by Buzzi and 25% borne by Dickerhoff GmbH.

The following table shows the ratio between the fixed component and the variable short-term (annual MBO) and the long-term (LTI 2024-2026) component of the remuneration as employees in the event of achievement of all the targets assigned (distributing the LTI targets on an annual basis even though the eventual payment will occur at the end of the three-year period in 2027). The calculation takes into account the ratio between the fixed component of the remuneration as employees net of non-cash benefits3 and the short-term and long-term variable component of the remuneration.

% fixed component % annual MBO % LTI 2024/2026 Total

General Manager 59% 29% 12% 100%
Director Luigi Buzzi
(CTO)
62.5% 25% 12.5% 100%

4.3.4 Benefit

A non-monetary benefits package is envisaged, which does not represent more than 20% of fixed remuneration and which generally includes the allocation of a car for private use and meal vouchers. In addition, benefits may be granted in order to support the finding of suitable housing near the Buzzi management headquarters.

4.5 Claw-back clause relating to the variable components of the remuneration

Within the limits of the provisions of the applicable regulations and collective agreements, the variable part of the remuneration, both short-term and long-term, is subject to reimbursement, in whole or in part, in the event that it was determined on the basis of data which subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect. However, the refund is provided only in the event that the incorrect data on the basis of which the variable part of the remuneration is determined differ from the correct figure by more than 5% (except if the error is due to fraud or gross negligence of the beneficiary; in such cases no threshold shall apply).

The repayment of the variable part of the remuneration is anyway provided for in case where the beneficiary has damaged the company or the group on the basis of proven fraudulent or grossly negligent conduct, without prejudice to the other remedies available to the company by law or by contract.

3 With regard to the CEO, the percentages in the table are calculated with reference to all sums received and, therefore, including, in addition to remuneration from employment, also emoluments paid by subsidiaries. In the event of a calculation made on employee remuneration alone, the percentages would be identical to those indicated in the table in the row referring to the General Manager

5. Information on the contribution of the Remuneration Policy to the corporate strategy, to the pursuit of long-term interests and to corporate sustainability (Annex 3A, letter j) Issuers' Regulation)

It is deemed that the significance of the fixed component of the remuneration compared to the variable one and the adoption of a long-term incentive plan for top management guarantee the contribution of the Remuneration Policy to the pursuit of long-term interests of the company as well as to proper management of corporate risks.

It is also believed that the economic/financial targets of the short-term and long-term variable remuneration are consistent with the targets of the policy.

As a matter of fact, the short-term and long-term economic/financial targets contribute to align the interest of top management with the target of constant growth in the economic/financial results of the company and the group, while the non-financial targets contribute to the pursuit of a sustainable development of the group's industrial activity in the most sensitive areas.

In defining the remuneration system of the company and the group, all the elements useful for reducing the risk of loss of both strategic and technical know-how and for medium-long term economic/financial development were considered.

The company's remuneration system aims to strengthen values, skills and behaviors in line with the development strategy, through the alignment of the interests of management and shareholders and through a strong link between remuneration and corporate and individual performance. The Remuneration Policy therefore aims to generate sustainable value and defines a system providing that the overall remuneration is made up of an important variable component, to be paid exclusively in the event that the results are actually achieved.

6. Financial instrument assignment plans (Annex 3A, letter k) and l) Issuers' Regulation)

There are no plans for the assignment of financial instruments either for the members of the Board of Directors and of the Statutory Auditors of the company or for the General Manager.

7. Compensation provided for in the event of termination of office or termination of the employment relationship (Annex 3A, letter m) Issuers' Regulation)

As regards the Directors who are not linked to the company by an employment relationship, no indemnity is envisaged in the event of termination of office.

Regarding the Directors being also employees of the company and the General Manager, since this is an employment relationship, the national collective agreement of industry managers applies, which provides:

  • in the event of resignation, a notice period, commensurate with length of service, between 2 and 4 months;
  • in the event of dismissal, the obligation for the company of a notice period, commensurate with the length of service, between 6 and 12 months which can be replaced by the payment of the corresponding monthly salaries;
  • in the event of unjustified dismissal, in addition to notice, an indemnity is due to the employee, commensurate with length of service, equal to a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 24 monthly salaries;

  • the employee severance indemnity.

For the General Manager the employment relationship with the subsidiary Dyckerhoff provides, in the event of termination of the employment relationship a notice period of 12 months (except in the case of dismissal for just cause).

With regard to the variable part of the remuneration, it is generally provided that the payment of the annual MBO and the LTI 2024-2026 that may have accrued will take place only if the beneficiary is still employed at the time of the scheduled payment; otherwise the beneficiary loses the right to receive the incentive.

However, it is provided, limited to the LTI 2024-2026 incentive and with reference to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, that where termination occurs on or after a specified date4, the LTI 2024-2026 incentive is maintained where the beneficiary is a good leaver5. In those cases, the beneficiary (or his heirs) will have the right to a payment proportionate to the actual duration of the relationship with the company on the basis of the targets achieved on the dates indicated in the LTI 2024-2026 plan.

In favour of the General Manager, upon final attainment of the planned retirement pension in Germany upon reaching the age of 65, a Supplementary Allowance shall be paid.

The Supplementary Allowance (to be understood gross of all taxes and social security withholdings) is calculated by multiplying the last gross annual salary (fixed component only) by between 40.60% and 50% (determined according to the year of retirement6) net of the pension received in Germany. If the General Manager should receive an early retirement pension on the basis of German law, with definitive termination of employment before reaching the age of 65, or should he terminate his employment with the group before reaching the age of 65, the amount resulting from the calculation of the Supplementary Allowance shall be reduced by an amount equal to 0.5% for each month of anticipation with respect of the aforementioned deadline.

The amount of the Supplementary Allowance is calculated by multiplying the sum determined using the above criteria by the years corresponding to the average life expectancy and discounting the result obtained to the date of payment.

The amount of the Supplementary Allowance calculated as above indicated will be reduced, at the moment of maturation of related right, by the amounts corresponding respectively:

  • to the severance pay paid in connection with the Italian employment contract upon its termination;
  • to the social security and assurance contributions, including "supplementary" ones, paid on all salaries paid by Buzzi in relation to the Employment Contract as well as tax withholdings taxes and social security contributions due in relation to the Supplementary Allowance;
  • to the contributions paid by Buzzi in relation to the supplementary contribution envisaged by current laws and by the applicable CCNL in force.

In the event of death, 60% of the amount of the Supplementary Allowance as calculated above

4 The termination date of office for CEO is the approvation of the budget for the financial year 2025, while for the General Manager is the 30 June 2026 (expiry of the three-year contract)

5 Non-renewal or dismissal without just cause, resignation or renunciation of renewal for just cause, death or serious injury or illness preventing continued employment.

6 40.60% refers to a termination on 1.1.2024 and each year increases by 1.06 percentage points to reach the amount of 50% on 1.1.2033, date of retirement.

shall be awarded to the spouse (plus, if the death occurs during the employment relationship, an amount equal to the fixed remuneration to which the General Manager would have been entitled for the month of the death and for the following six months, net of the amount due for the reversion of the pension pursuant to the applicable legislation, will be paid to the spouse). The Supplementary Allowance will not be payable by Buzzi in the cases listed below:

dismissal for just cause;

termination of the Employment Contract with the group before the retirement for any reason in the event that the General Manager subsequently carries out activities of any kind, both as an employee or as a self-employed person, in favour of companies directly competing with the group in the sector of the production and sale of cement, concrete and aggregates (and this for a period of 5 years from the termination of the employment contract).

The estimated Supplementary Allowance, calculated based on actuarial assumptions as of December 31, 2023 and assuming employment until retirement at age 65, would amount to €3,072 thousand. The estimate will be subject to updating from year to year as the parameters used for the calculation may change.

Furthermore, in the event that, during the course of the relationship with the General Manager, there is a change of control of Buzzi (meaning that a third party or a group of third parties acting in concert, other than the current controlling shareholder, acquires the majority of the share capital of Buzzi) and the position of the General Manager is significantly prejudiced, the General Manager has the right to terminate the relationship with three months' notice, retaining the right to receive for 12 months (or for the remaining term of the Employment Contract, if shorter) the fixed remuneration that he would have been entitled to during the employment relationship; this right is also granted in the event that, upon the occurrence of the events referred to in the preceding sentence, the employment relationship is terminated, within three months of the change of control, on the basis of a consensual termination7

There are no further severance payments, neither non-competition commitments in addition to the above for the General Manager 8 nor the assignment of non-monetary benefits or the stipulation of consultancy contracts for a period subsequent to the termination of the employment relationship.

8. Insurance or social security or pension coverage other than the compulsory one (Annex 3A, letter n) Issuers' Regulation)

With reference to the members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the company, no insurance, social security or pension coverage is envisaged.

With reference to the Directors who are also employees of the company and to the General Manager, there are insurance, social security, pension and health care coverage provided for by the respective regulations and by the related permanent employment contracts.

For Directors who are also employees of the company and the General Manager, there is supplementary health, accident and life coverage provided through an assistance fund.

7 This right is recognised, limited to the remuneration received by Dyckerhoff, in the event of a change of control referring exclusively to Dyckerhoff

8 It should be noted that what is envisaged for the General Manager is not a non-competition commitment, but the exercise of the activity in competition entails forfeiture of the right to receive the supplementary allowance.

All members of the Board of Directors and of the Statutory Auditors' Committee of the company and the General Manager are beneficiaries of a D&O (Directors' and Officers' Liability) insurance policy stipulated with a leading insurance company at market conditions for this type of coverage.

9. Reference remuneration policies (Annex 3A, letter p) Issuers' Regulation)

With reference to the Remuneration Policy, consideration was given to the contents of the remuneration policies of industrial groups with securities listed on the Euronext Milan market considered homogeneous to the company in the following respects: size, shareholder structure (presence of a controlling shareholder with a majority of the share capital), management structure (management also entrusted to external managers), profit and revenue levels; furthermore, the remuneration policies of some of the leading international companies based in Europe operating in the same industrial sector as the company were taken into account.

In particular, in determining the contents of the LTI 2024-2026, were taken into account the remuneration policies published by the following companies listed on Euronext Milan: WeBuild, Maire Tecnimont, Danieli, Brembo, De' Longhi, Ariston, Interpump, Cementir Holding, SOL Group; the present Remuneration Policy has also been taken into account the remuneration policies of the following cement and concrete companies: Heidelberg Materials, Vicat, Titan, Gruppo Molins.

10. Possible derogations to the Remuneration Policy (Annex 3A, letter q) Issuers' Regulation)

As a rule, the company does not deviate from the principles that are the basis of its Remuneration Policy. However, where exceptional circumstances occur and in order to pursue long-term interests and sustainable development, the company reserves the right to implement derogations such as in particular:

  • on the fixed component (e.g. in the case of the need to replace an executive with strategic responsibility) by negotiating conditions quickly to attract the most capable managers;
  • on the variable component (e.g. in the event of extraordinary events affecting the markets in which the group operates or the group's results, sensitive changes in the scope of business activity, sales of shareholdings, significant changes to the organizational and/or administrative structure, acquisition of new material assets), modifying the contents of short-term or long-term incentive plans, in particular with regard to the objectives (their content and weight) and the criteria for assessing the achievement of objectives. Furthermore, in the event of any particularly significant sanctions imposed by public authorities against the group, the variable part may be excluded or reduced.

It will be possible to apply the derogation by resolution of the Board of Directors, subject to the application of the Procedure for Related-Party Transactions adopted by the company and in force pro tempore.

The changes in the remuneration of non-executive directors are determined not only by the changed composition of the Board of Directors but also by the changes in the composition of the internal board committees, or by appointments in subsidiaries and associated companies. The changes in the considerations of the Statutory Auditors are also due to appointments or terminations of other statutory positions held in subsidiaries and associated companies.
