SECTION I
The present Section of the Report on Remuneration describes the basic guidelines of the remuneration policy adopted by the Company (hereinafter the "Remuneration Policy").
The Remuneration Policy defines the principles and guidelines to which Cembre S.p.A. ("Cembre", the "Company" or also the "Issuer") adheres in determining the salary procedures of Directors and managers with strategic responsibilities and in monitoring the application of the same.
The Remuneration Policy was also drafted in light of the recommendations of the Code of Conduct promoted by the Corporate Governance Committee (the "Code of Conduct") and takes into account the provisions of article 2.2.3 of the Regulations of markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the "Stock Market Regulation") and the related Instructions for STAR segment issuers.
The Remuneration Policy, already adopted by the Board of Directors on November 11, 2011 at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, was modified with the same methods (i) on November 14, 2013, in order to take account of the new provisions introduced to the Stock Market Regulation, with reference to the remuneration of executive Directors and managers with strategic responsibilities. In particular, the changes made to the Remuneration Policy regard, inter alia, the introduction of a medium/long-term incentive system for executive Directors holding particular offices; (ii) on November 14, 2014, in order to take into account the new Application Criterion 6.C.1, letter f) (so-called claw back) of the Corporate Governance Code; and, lastly, (iii) on March 11, 2019, in order to ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting is entitled to adopt incentive plans pursuant to art. 114-bis of the TUF. Pursuant to the By-laws and applicable laws, the term of the Board of Directors currently in office will expire with the approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of the financial statements at December 31, 2020.
As provided by Consob Regulation no. 17221 of March 12, 2010 on operations with related parties, as subsequently modified ("Related Parties Regulation") and ratified in the Company's internal procedure adopted on November 11, 2010 – available on the Company's website www.cembre.it in the Investor Relations section, subsequently updated last on May 14, 2018 – the approval of the Remuneration Policy by the Shareholders' Meeting exonerates the Company from applying said procedure in resolutions of the Board of Directors regarding the remuneration of Directors and managers with strategic responsibilities whenever these resolutions are consistent with the Remuneration Policy. Pursuant to article 13, paragraph 1 of the Related Parties Regulation, moreover, said procedure does not apply to Shareholders' Meeting resolutions made pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code relating to the compensation of members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee, nor to the resolutions on the compensation of Directors holding offices that fall within the total amount resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 3, second paragraph of the Italian Civil Code.

b) possible appointment of a remuneration committee or other competent committee, describing its composition (distinguishing between non-executive and independent directors), its powers and the rules and procedures for its operation
In light of the provisions of article 2.2.3, paragraph 3, letter m) of the Stock Exchange Regulations, applicable to listed companies in the STAR segment of the market and in compliance with the Code of Conduct, the Company appointed within its Board of Directors a Remuneration Committee. The Appointments and Remuneration Committee was established originally by means of resolution of the Board dated November 14, 2005 (with the name 'Remuneration Committee,') and subsequently, in its current composition, by means of Board resolution of April 26, 2018 (with the name the Appointments and Remuneration Committee).
In compliance with application criterion 4.C.1, point a), of the Code of Conduct, the Committee is currently2 composed of two members, exclusively non-executive and independent Directors, in the persons of:
- Fabio Fada Independent Director acting as Chairman;
- Paola Carrara Independent Director -
2 Until April 26, 2018, the Remuneration Committee was composed of Fabio Fada (Independent Director with Chairman functions), Giancarlo Maccarini (Independent Director) and Giovanni de Vecchi (Non-executive Director).
Both members of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee possess accounting and financial experience considered adequate by the Board at the time of appointment. In particular, Committee Chairman Fabio Fada has accounting and financial experience as he is a Public Accountant and Independent Auditor registered in the Public Accountant Register of the Ministry of Justice with registration no. 79351 and has teaching and professional appointments in the field of business administration.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee is responsible for providing opinions and formulating proposals to the Board, as to the remuneration, of Executive Directors, Directors holding particular positions and managers having strategic responsibilities, evaluating periodically the adequacy, overall consistency and concrete application of the Remuneration Policy, formulating to the Board related proposals.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee, has advisory and proposal-making functions with regard to the Remuneration Policy as specified in paragraph a) above.
Appointments and Remuneration Committee meetings are carried out in joint form and minutes are regularly taken. The Committee meets whenever its Chairman deems it necessary and periodically, as necessary in view of the tasks assigned to the Committee, or whenever a member of the Committee so requests, giving reasons for his or her request.
The Committee is validly convened when the majority of its members is present. Resolutions are passed by majority vote, excluding members abstaining from voting from the calculation.
Directors do not take part in the meetings of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee whenever proposals are formulated to the Board of Directors regarding their remuneration. Managers responsible for particular tasks, independent experts and/or other subjects whose participation in the meeting is deemed useful, may be invited to take part in the meeting.
The Committee makes use, in carrying out its tasks, of the resources and structures of the Company.
c) the name of experts that have taken part in the drafting of the remuneration policy, if any
The Company did not make use of the advice of independent experts in drafting its remuneration policy.
d) the stated aim of the remuneration policy, principles on which the policy is based and possible changes of the remuneration policy with respect to the previous year;
As anticipated in the introduction to this Section, on March 11, 2019, the Board of Directors modified the Remuneration Policy, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in order to ensure that the Shareholders' Meeting, upon proposal of the Board of Directors and after consulting the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, has the power to adopt incentive plans pursuant to art. 114-bis of the TUF (see the following paragraph h)). The remuneration of Directors is set so as to provide sufficient incentive to attract, retain and motivate persons possessing those professional qualities required to successfully manage the Company, taking into account the size of the Company and the sector in which it operates.
The remuneration of executive directors and managers with strategic responsibilities is set so as to align their interests with the achievement of the primary objective of creating value for shareholders in the medium to long-term.
The incentive system for top management seeks to introduce an adequate balancing between the fixed and variable components of compensation according to the strategic objectives and the risk management policy of the Company, taking into account also the characteristics of the segment and the sector in which the Company operates.
The Shareholders' Meeting resolves on the overall compensation of the Board of Directors, including possible individual compensation for Directors holding particular positions. Within the limits set by the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors is responsible for executing said resolutions by attributing compensation to individual Directors, setting additional compensation for Directors holding particular positions, upon proposals made by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Board of Directors also sets the remuneration of managers with strategic responsibilities. At the meeting of March 11, 2019, confirming its evaluation made with reference to previous financial years, the Board of Directors verified that the management of the Company does not include managers with strategic responsibilities, as all decisions with strategic relevance are taken by the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Managing Director, in compliance with powers reserved to the Board of Directors. In this respect, the Issuer's organisational chart has not changed since said date.
e) the description of policies regarding fixed and variable components of remuneration, with particular regard to the indication of the weight attributed with respect to the overall compensation and distinguishing between short- and long-term components of variable remuneration
The Company deems it appropriate to set remuneration components according to the specific role covered within the Board and of competencies and executive responsibilities of the persons involved, consequently autonomously defining criteria for the determination of the remuneration of: (i) Directors without powers and Non-executive Directors, and (ii) Executive Directors3 vested with particular roles.
In light of the principles described in paragraph d) above, the Remuneration Policy provides for the remuneration of key figures of the Company as described in the section that follows.
1) Directors without powers and Non-executive Directors
Directors without powers and Non-executive Directors are granted a fixed compensation set by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code.
Non-executive Directors do not receive a variable compensation and are not the beneficiaries of plans based on financial instruments.
Each member of the Board of Directors is entitled to an attendance fee for participating in each meeting and the reimbursement of expenses incurred in carrying out the mandate.
The remuneration of Non-executive Directors that attend committees of the Board of Directors is described in paragraph n) below.
2) Executive Directors holding particular roles
The remuneration of Executive Directors and Directors vested with particular roles is made up of a fixed
3 For the purposes of this Report, Executive Directors are defined as Directors with executive powers at Cembre.
component and a variable component consisting of short and medium/long term incentives for each year the position is held, as established by the Board of Directors upon proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee of the Company. The fixed component of the remuneration must in any case provide sufficient means to remunerate the position of Director also in the event the variable component is not paid out due to the failure to achieve the performance targets set by the Board. The above incentives may be determined in relation to policies adopted by other companies of similar size, profitability and growth rates, and will be devised to take into account value generated over time in terms of increase in asset value and profits and/or the increase in the capitalisation of the Company.
a. Fixed component of remuneration
The fixed component is determined in relation to responsibilities and competences in connection with the position/function of the related beneficiary. This component is not linked to the achievement of performance objectives and is set at an amount sufficient to remunerate the position of Executive Directors and Directors vested with particular responsibilities also in the event the variable components are not paid out.
b. Short-term incentives
With reference to Executive Directors and Directors vested with particular roles, the Board, taking into account the shareholder structure of the Company and the organisational structure and powers currently conferred by the parent company, believes that the participation, direct and/or indirect, of the latter in the capital of the Company is in itself effective in obtaining the attainment of the typical objective of a shortterm incentive programme. This is so because the current ownership structure and hierarchy produces the conferral of executive powers to the Chairman and Managing Director in addition to vicarious powers with respect to the above to the Vice Chairman, who are persons that hold relevant stakes both in Lysne S.p.A. (a holding company controlled by the Rosani family that controls the Company pursuant to article 93 TUF (Finance Act) with a 55,923% share), and directly in Cembre. The presence of said ownership structure and the assignment of executive and strategic responsibilities to persons who directly represent it, determines a structure of interests that the Board of Directors recognised in itself as sufficient to align interests of Executive Directors to those of all other shareholders.
c. Medium/long term incentives
The medium/long term incentive system is devised to ensure that the variable component of remuneration (for which a cap is set) is related to the achievement of corporate performance objectives (i) defined for set periods of time sufficiently long to allow the creation of value compatible with the Company's development strategies; (ii) linked to parameters (that may also be other than economic or financial) that are verifiable at the end of the period; (iii) assigned to the beneficiary, in view of the position covered or task assigned within the Company, that may be set also according to specific qualitative results expected (also at the individual level), taking into account competences, tasks and responsibilities of the beneficiary.
In application of the above-described principles and with the objective of promoting the creation of value for the Company in the medium and long term, Executive Directors and Directors vested with particular roles may therefore become the beneficiaries of a variable compensation payable at the end of a set period of several years and related to the achievement of financial and economic objectives set in an incentive plan covering the same time period. This variable compensation may be paid only upon the achievement of the objectives set in the aforementioned plans.
The medium/long term component may not exceed 50% of the fixed component accrued in the period covered by the plan.
f) the policy applied with regard to non-monetary benefits
The members of corporate bodies and employees may be entitled to certain benefits, in consideration of their position and/or need in carrying out their tasks, that include: liability insurance policy for member of corporate boards, health insurance, on-the-job and off-the-job accident insurance, company car.
g) with reference to variable components, a description of performance objectives based on which variable remuneration is assigned, distinguishing between short and medium to long-term variable components, and information on the type of correlation between results achieved and the increase in the remuneration.
The medium/long term incentive system provides for the application of a variable component able to establish a link between the change in corporate results and the change in the remuneration of the beneficiary. In particular, the medium/long term variable component is based on a calculation that takes into account the under-performance with respect to objectives which may include consolidated sales, consolidated gross operating margin, consolidated operating profit and consolidated net profit (the "LTI Objective") as from time to time indicated by the Board of Directors upon proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The calculation system provides for a minimum performance –set indicatively at 90%– of the LTI Objective (under-performance threshold), below which the bonus is not paid out, and a maximum performance limit –set indicatively at 100%– of the LTI Objective, that results in the assignment of the maximum bonus payable, equal to 100% of the bonus, which constitutes the cap of variable remuneration.
h) criteria used in valuing performance objectives based on the assignment of shares, options, other financial instruments or other variable components of remuneration;
In the setting of the LTI Objective, the evaluation of the performance as defined in the incentive plan and the measurement of the degree of achievement of objectives assigned, the following shall apply:
- (i) objectives for the period shall be defined and shared (indicatively by March of the first year of the term set in the plan) as provided by the Board of Directors having heard the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
- (ii) intermediate evaluations of performance (indicatively by September of each year in the plan) may be carried out to assess the achievement of results in the first part of the year and to evaluate possible corrective action;
- (iii) the final evaluation of the performance and the communication of the degree of achievement of objectives assigned shall take place indicatively within 30 days of the date of approval of the draft financial statements and consolidated financial statements by the Board of Directors in the next year. The assessment of the degree of achievement of objectives set for the previous year is entrusted to the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, supported by the Administration, Finance and Control
department of the Company that will submit its evaluations to the Board of Directors for the final determination of the variable component of remuneration payable to each beneficiary.
In the event, for any reason, the Board of Directors does not proceed with the setting of objectives for a specific term, said Board will pass, after having heard the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the necessary resolutions to determine the medium/long term variable component, taking into account the performance of the Company consistent with the underlying principles of the Remuneration Policy.
In the event Cembre should carry out extraordinary operations with either a strategic importance and/or effects on the results of the Company and/or the Group or the scope of business, or in the case of extraordinary changes in the conditions of the market in which the Company operates, the Board of Directors, upon proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, will carry out a revision of the objectives to make them consistent with the new corporate structure and/or business environment and/or their consequent economic and financial results.
The Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the law and regulations, may approve, upon proposal of the Board of Directors and following the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, compensation plans based on financial instruments in favour of Directors and employees (or in any case, holders of a comparable relationship pursuant to the legislation applicable from time to time) of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of Cembre.
i) information showing the consistency of the Remuneration Policy with the long-term objectives of the Company and the risk management policy, where formalised;
Please refer to the description provided in paragraph e), item 2), letter b above for the short term variable component, and letter c for the long term variable component.
j) the period in which the rights mature (i.e. vesting period), possible deferred payment terms, indicating the term of the deferral and criteria used to set such term and, where provided for, ex post correction mechanisms
The Remuneration Policy does not provide for deferred payment terms.
We note however that, in reference to variable remuneration, the Remuneration Policy provide for clauses in the agreements between the Company and Executive Directors that give the Company the right to request the return, in full or in part, of variable remuneration components paid (or to withhold sums to be deferred), determined on the basis of data that has subsequently proved to be erroneous.
k) information on possible clauses for the maintenance in a portfolio of financial instruments after their acquisition, indicating the term for which these will be held and criteria used in setting such term
The Remuneration Policy does not provide for the assignment of shares, options or other financial instrument.
l) the policy regarding the economic compensation provided for in case of termination of office or employment, specifying the circumstances that determine the entitlement to the right to a compensation and possible link between such compensation and the performance of the Company
The Company does not normally stipulate with Directors agreements providing for indemnities in case of termination of office or termination of employment/revocation of office without just cause, or in case employment or office is terminated as a result of a public offer to buy the Company's shares.
m) information regarding the existence of insurance coverage, health insurance or private pension plans, other than coverage provided according to applicable laws;
The Board of Directors resolved the underwriting of an insurance policy that covers third party liability of Directors and Statutory Auditors, for a total cost of about Euro 9 thousand.
n) the remuneration policy applied with reference: (i) independent directors, (ii) participation in committees, and (iii) positions covered (chairman, vice chairman, etc.);
Independent directors receive only the fixed compensation set by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code.
Independent Directors do not receive variable remuneration and are not beneficiaries of remuneration plans based on financial instruments.
Where the Shareholders' meeting has not already done so and whenever deemed appropriate, the Board of Director sets the annual compensation for the members of the Control and Risk Committee, its Chairman, and members of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
The remuneration of Directors holding particular positions is described in paragraph e) above.
o) whether the remuneration policy was set by using as reference the remuneration policies of other companies, and where this is the case, the criteria used in the choice of such company
In setting its Remuneration Policy the Company did not take the remuneration policies of other companies as a reference.
SECTION II
With regard to the remuneration of directors and statutory auditors, the present Section:
