In accordance with article 123-ter of Legislative Decree n.58 dated February 24, 1998
Approved by the Board of Directors on September 24, 2015

Remuneration policy for fiscal 2015/2016 and procedures used to adopt and implement the policy
Table 1 - Shares held by members of governing and control bodies, general managers and other executives with strategic responsibilities.
The Danieli Group is a world leader in the manufacture and sale of plants for the steelmaking industry (Plant Making) and one of the major producers of special steels in Europe (Steel Making).
Danieli & C. - Officine Meccaniche S.p.A. (DANIELI), the Parent Company, owns the subholding company Industrielle Beteiligung SA with headquarters in Luxembourg, which in turn holds shares in all the Group's operating companies.
This report on remuneration complies with article 123-ter of Legislative Decree n.58 of February 24, 1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance) and falls under the regulatory framework specified in art. 2389 of the civil code, in order to:
This report, approved by DANIELI's Board of Directors on September 24, 2015, is divided into two sections:
Finally, the last table (Schedule 7-ter) shows the number of shares held - in the company and in companies it controls - by the members of the governing and control boards and by executives with strategic responsibilities, as well as by subjects with close connections to the latter.
It should be noted that the company's current organizational and management structure has two Chief Operating Officers to head the "Plant Making" and "Steel Making" operating segments, who are also on the board of directors of the Parent Company; that the role of general manager is not required – and lastly - that there is no executive with strategic responsibilities, as defined by Consob Regulations.
The adoption of a Remuneration Policy subject to the approval of the shareholders exonerates the company from applying the provisions of the Consob regulations and of the internal regulations on transactions with related parties as regards the remuneration of directors with particular responsibilities and executives with strategic responsibilities, if any.
The meeting called to approve the financial report for the 2014/2015 tax year is asked to express an opinion, in a non-binding resolution, on the first section of this report (art. 123-ter paragraph 6 of Legislative Decree n. 58/1998).
The outcome of the vote is made public in the manner specified in the applicable regulations.
The remuneration policy that the Board of Directors submits to the shareholders on a yearly basis is the result of collective action involving the department of Human Resources and the Chief Executive Officer, for the purpose of bringing transparency to the various types of remuneration and simplifying their application.
The total remuneration of the directors is determined by the shareholders, while the Board of Directors establishes how it is to be distributed, as well as the remuneration of the Chairman of the Board and of the other members of the board.
The remuneration of the members of DANIELI's Board of Directors is a fixed amount and is not linked to the company's financial performance or to the achievement of specific targets.
The company's remuneration policy, which is periodically reviewed, has not undergone any significant changes over the years and is expected to be confirmed for next year as well, together with the renewal of the company boards. The sole exception is the increase in remuneration of the Independent Director – who is required to perform increasingly demanding tasks – that will have to be adjusted to the commitment required.
As for the directors who hold special positions:
Considering the streamlined composition of the board of directors, made up of five members – where the Chairman and CEO represents the majority shareholder – with only one independent director, the Board of Directors decided not to set up a Remuneration Committee, or to avail itself of independent experts to draw up a remuneration policy. The CEO has the power to award monetary bonuses to executives, which are based on merit and aimed at rewarding both commitment and results obtained.
The remuneration of personnel holding positions with greater responsibility is generally subject to review on a yearly basis in order to ensure that it is in line with the market situation and with the remuneration policy implemented by companies of comparable size operating in the same field.
The variable element of the remuneration of executives (determined only by short-term decisions) is linked to actual results (total company results or the results of a single product line, compared to budget figures) and does not exceed 30% of the remuneration itself. Any exceptions are subject to deliberation by the Board of Directors.
The company's remuneration policy does not pursue long-term interests nor is it affected by risk management strategies.
There is no remuneration policy that provides for non-monetary benefits.
There are no incentive plans based on shares or other financial instruments in favor of directors (including executive directors) or executives.
There are no vesting periods or deferred payment mechanisms or ex post correction mechanisms; there are no clauses to keep financial instruments in the portfolio after they are purchased by directors or executives.
There are no collective agreements or erga omnes practices requiring that executives who have ceased to hold office automatically receive compensation in exchange for non-competition or other commitments.
The remuneration policy does not provide for additional pay for directors or executives in case of cessation of office, resignation, dismissal or early termination of employment; only the provisions of the National Employment Agreement for Industry Executives are applicable.
Other than the mandatory coverage or the coverage specified in the National Employment Agreement for Industry Executives, there is no additional insurance, social security or pension coverage for directors and executives, with the exception of insurance to cover accidents resulting in death and/or permanent disability for members of the Board of Directors, and "D&O" (Directors and Officers) professional liability insurance.
No reference whatsoever is made to the policies of others in determining the company's remuneration policy.
Payments made to the members of the governing and control bodies were determined by the shareholders during the meeting of October 25, 2012; the yearly fees paid to directors are a total, fixed amount, and distributed equally among them by the Board of Directors.
The remuneration for the CEO is an additional, set amount decided by the Board of Directors on October 25, 2012.
The remuneration of the executive director (who is also Chief Operating Officer of the Plant Making segment), an employee of the company, is based – as is the case of the remuneration of the other executives - on the National Employment Agreement for Industry Executives.
The total remuneration of the executive director who also holds the position of Chief Operating Officer for the Steel Making segment includes the fees received as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Acciaierie Bertoli Safau S.p.A. (ABS), operating in the field of special steel production.
No additional remuneration is paid to the directors on the Executive Committee.
The board of directors in office on September 25, 2014, did not pay out any additional bonuses to the CEO.
There is an insurance policy to cover accidents resulting in death and/or permanent disability for members of the Board of Directors, as well as a "D&O" (Directors and Officers) professional liability insurance policy.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the national collective bargaining system (National Collective Employment Agreement for the Metalworking and Mechanical Engineering Industry, and National Collective Employment Agreement for Industry Executives), DANIELI has not entered into any collective agreements or company practices that provide for additional compensation in case of cessation of office or termination of employment without just cause.
The amount of compensation is proportional to the person's seniority within the company and the position he/she holds.
The company does not employ executives with strategic responsibilities, as defined in the Consob regulations.
However, the salary of the company's executives is in line with market figures; the variable element, if any, of the above-mentioned remuneration (determined exclusively by short-term decisions) is linked to actual results (total company results or the results of a single product line, compared to budget figures) and does not exceed 30% of the remuneration itself. The decision as to whether or not to award bonuses for particular commitments or results is made by the CEO.
The following tables show: the first one lists the items making up the fees paid to directors and auditors during the reference year for whatever reason or purpose, by the company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, confirming the continuity and consistency of the company's remuneration policy (which is also implemented by its subsidiaries and affiliates), adopted and approved by the shareholders on October 28, 2014; the second one shows the shares held by these directors and auditors in the company.
