Remuneration and Incentive Policy of the DoBank S.p.A. Banking Group
Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting.
The Remuneration Policy is an important tool for discussion with investors and with the public in general, aimed at highlighting the methods by which the Group's management and all its collaborators are incentivised to pursue the business objectives and to achieve the desired results.
The presentation of the 2018-20 business plan, on 19 June 2018, represented a major turning point in the development of doBank, which has confirmed itself as the largest group in Europe specialising in credit servicing.
The new plan is based upon an internationalisation process, consolidated also through the acquisition of Altamira Asset Management, which sees doBank's transformation, planned in the first half of 2019, into a servicing company equipped with the licence pursuant to Art. 115 TULPS (Consolidated Law on Public Safety) and the cessation of the banking group, consequently freeing up significant resources.
In view of the continued status as a Banking Group at the date on which this Report will be submitted for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors has decided to submit for the binding opinion of the Shareholders' Meeting a remuneration policy for 2019 coherent with the Bank of Italy regulations which incorporates the changes introduced with the evolution of the regulatory framework in the banking sector, in substantial continuity with 2018. However, in order to be able to adjust to industry best practices as early as during 2019, this Policy envisages the possibility of introducing additional simplifications and flexibilities compared to the past, in view of the end of the applicability of the prudential supervisory requirements after the transformation in the first half of 2019, despite maintaining among the fundamental principles sustainability with respect to a longterm timeframe.
I take this opportunity to thank you, the shareholders, for being open to a constructive debate and for your confidence granted, with a view to understanding and addressing our mutual requirements.
I would also like to thank the other members of the Remuneration Committee for their collaboration and proactive contribution.
This Remuneration Report was approved by the Board of Directors on 22 March 2019 and is submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, in accordance with the Supervisory Provisions of the Bank of Italy and Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law.
The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee
The doBank Group is a leader in the management of primarily non-performing loans for banks and public and private investors. The Group has also developed a range of ancillary products related to servicing activity which include gathering, developing and providing property-related and legal information on borrowers and providing property services that are also related to recovery activities (e.g. participation in auctions, REOCO, etc.) and support activities for the judicial recovery of loans.
The doBank Group intends to continue to strengthen its leading role in the credit servicing sector in Europe, also by increasing its international presence, in Greece, and, with the acquisition of 85% of Altamira Asset Management, present in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus, continuing to:
Increase the turnover for GBV
Increase the efficiency of the group
Optimise the generation of cash flows and maximise debt capacity


Key Economic Indicators (2018 vs. 2017, values in thousands)

"In 2018 major steps forward were taken in achieving our Business Plan both at organic level, with an EBITDA up by 20% and a generation of free cash flow for over 65 million, and by way of M&A. In light of these results and the agreement for the acquisition of Altamira, we look to the European credit servicing market with optimism and we continue to see opportunities for growth in the markets and product segments in which we are leaders." Andrea Mangoni, doBank Chief Executive Officer.
In keeping with the business priorities, the 2019 remuneration strategy is developed in continuity with the actions begun in view of the corporate transformation expressed in the 2018-2020 plan presented to the financial community on 19 June 2018, in support of clear and transparent governance and the creation of value over time for shareholders, investors and, in general, the economic system in which doBank operates.

This remuneration policy is coherent with the business objectives and is aimed at further focusing management to achieve the Group's expected results, taking account of the major transformation underway. The remuneration policy is developed in keeping with applicable regulatory provisions and criteria of sound and prudent risk management, in line with the long-term interests of investors.
The goals pursued with the remuneration strategy are the following:
The principles of the remuneration policy that guide the establishment of remuneration and incentive systems to pursue the indicated objectives are:
• Fair internal treatment and external competitiveness.
In confirming the principles at the basis of the remuneration policy, we have considered the consensus of investors, primarily of the minority shareholders, as highlighted below, with reference to the Shareholders' Meeting of 19 April 2018, with regard to the remuneration and incentive policy submitted for their resolution:

As shown by the graph, the level of consensus achieved by doBank is considerably higher, particularly with reference to the minority shareholders, than the level achieved by the companies relating to the FTSE MIB index.
The 2019 Remuneration and Incentive Policy is therefore prepared in continuity with the 2018 remuneration and incentive systems, subject to the regulatory adjustments deriving from the XXV update of Circular 285 dated 7 December 2013.
In addition, paragraph 8 describes the specific aspects relating to the 2019 remuneration and incentive system which the Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, may introduce following the transformation of doBank into 115 Tulps specialising in servicing, as part of the guidelines expressed in this policy.

The 2019 Remuneration Report of the doBank S.p.A. Group is prepared based upon the regulatory framework on remuneration and incentive systems represented by the following sources:
Commission Delegated Regulation 527 of 12 March 2014, supplementing CRD IV with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the classes of instruments that adequately reflect the credit quality of an institution as a going concern and are appropriate to be used for the purposes of variable remuneration;
The following documents complete these sources:
The aim of the Policies is to implement, in the interest of all stakeholders, remuneration systems that - as well as being aligned with the business objectives and values, long-term strategies and prudent risk management policies - are characterised by incentive systems consistent with the framework of reference for determining risk propensity (the risk appetite framework, a crucial tool which defines the maximum risk levels that the Group is willing to accept and, consequently, on which the remuneration can be based), the governance and risk management policies, as well as the capital and liquidity necessary to deal with the activities undertaken.
The reference to the principles illustrated in the regulatory framework of banking governance, for the applicable aspects, is maintained even after the transformation into a servicing company, as described in paragraph 8.
The Supervisory Provisions require, in application of the proportionality principle, banks to define their remuneration and incentive policies taking account of their characteristics and dimensions as well as the risks and complexities of the activity performed so as to achieve the regulation's objectives. For the purposes of modulating the regulatory provisions, the rules divide banking groups into three categories: banks of larger dimensions or operational complexity, banks of smaller dimensions or operational complexity and intermediate banks.
Based on the characteristics of its investments and the structure of the Bank Group, doBank is considered an intermediary with smaller dimensions or operational complexity, considering, inter alia, that its assets still amount to less than 3.5 billion in accordance with the provisions on the prudential control process (ICAAP). For those banks, the Provisions state that the rules concerning the payment of the variable component of remuneration (balancing with financial instruments and deferment mechanisms) are not applied even with reference to Material Risk Takers, subject to respecting the principles at the basis of those rules.
In view of the listing on the regulated market, doBank intends to maintain in 2019 stricter rules and criteria for payment of the variable component of remuneration to Material Risk Takers than those laid down by the regulations for banks of smaller dimensions so as to be aligned with the business objectives and values, long-term strategies and prudent risk management policies in keeping with the principles established by the regulations, both in terms of balancing with financial instruments and application of deferment mechanisms.

The main activities related to the remuneration cycle
In accordance with the contents of the Supervisory Provisions1 , the Parent Company develops the remuneration and incentive policies for the whole Group, ensures their overall consistency, provides the necessary instructions for their implementation and verifies their correct application.
The work process relating to the formation, application and control of the implementation of the policies is illustrated in detail in internal operating documents that define at Group level the activities,
1 See Bank of Italy, Circ. 285/2013, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section I, par. 8.
functions of reference and controls involved at the various levels, in accordance with the principles of segregating functions, authorities and powers and the traceability of the operations performed.
When preparing the policies for 2019, doBank obtained support from Willis Towers Watson.
The Policies are reviewed, at least on an annual basis, by the Parent Company's Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee. They are subsequently submitted for approval by the Shareholders' Meeting in compliance with the contents of the existing Supervisory Provisions.
All Subsidiaries, having received the document approved by the Parent Company, guarantee that it is incorporated and implemented by their competent decision-making Bodies and consequently adjust the responsibilities, processes and internal regulations in line with their characteristics and dimensions.
The individual Group companies in any case remain responsible for respecting the regulations directly applicable to them and for the correct implementation of the instructions provided by the Parent Company.
The Human Resources Function examines the Policies at least annually and makes a proposal to revise this document In making the proposal, the Function considers, in particular, the evolution of the market and the Group's strategies and risk appetite, liaising to that end with the competent Functions and Company Bodies, which provide their contribution to the process according to their respective remits as described in more detail below.
The doBank Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Human Resources Function and with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, having also heard from the Risks and Transactions with Connected Persons Committee for consistency checks with the risk appetite framework, defines the Policies to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, in line with the Supervisory Provisions.
Once approved by the Parent Company's Shareholders' Meeting, the Policies are incorporated by the competent Bodies of the Subsidiaries and applied in conformity with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
The Company Control Functions are involved in that process ex ante and they work together to ensure the adequacy and compliance of the Policies and practices adopted with the relevant regulations, as well as monitoring ex post their correct functioning and application within the Group.
The role of the Corporate Bodies and the Company Functions of the Parent Company in relation to remuneration and incentive policies and practices is indicated below.
The Shareholders' Meeting of the Parent Company:
Meeting, when this is made up of at least half of the share capital;
In the capacity of the Parent Company's Body with strategic supervision function, the Board of Directors:
The Remuneration Committee, made up of a minimum of three and a maximum of five members chosen from the non-executive doBank Directors, most of whom meet the requirements of independence, supports the Parent Company's Board of Directors with consulting, advisory and investigative functions in relation to the remuneration and incentive systems. For the current year, the Committee is made up of three members, one of whom serves as Chairman.
In particular, the Remuneration Committee:
2See Bank of Italy, Circ. 285/2013, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section VI.
3Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 604/2014, Art. 4, par. 2 and EBA Guidelines of 27 June 2016, paragraph 99.
Takers of the Group;
The Remuneration Committee meets, when convened by its chairman, whenever necessary to perform the activities required by law and by the internal regulations that govern its operating procedures.
The functioning of the Remuneration Committee is governed by a special regulation.
At the date of preparing this document, the doBank Group is structured as follows:
The Boards of Directors of the Subsidiaries:
By press release dated 31 December 2018, doBank informed the financial community of the finalisation, subject to clearance from the supervisory authorities, of the agreement for the acquisition of xx% of Altamira Asset Management. That agreement, as anticipated, represents an important result as part of the Group's internationalisation strategy.
In the capacity of the Parent Company's Body with management functions, the Chief Executive Officer:
Without prejudice to the remit of the Remuneration Committee, the Risks and Transactions with Connected Persons Committee:
The Group's Compliance Function:
The Group's Risk Management Function:
The Group's Internal Audit Function:
• verifies, at least on an annual basis, the compliance of the remuneration practices with the Policies and with the Supervisory Provisions of reference. The results of the checks and any anomalies are brought to the attention of the Company Functions involved and the Company Bodies for the purposes of adopting any corrective measures and, where necessary, for prompt reporting to the Supervisory Authority. The outcomes of the check conducted by the Internal Audit Function are brought to the attention of the Shareholders' Meeting on an annual basis.
The Parent Company's Human Resources Function collaborates with the Chief Executive Officer and the competent company functions to provide all necessary and opportune information for the proper functioning of the Policies and concretely implements the Board of Directors' resolutions on remuneration and incentives, through the following activities:
The Parent Company's Administration, Treasury, Planning and Control Area:
The Parent Company's Legal and Corporate Affairs Function:
The self-assessment process for identifying Material Risk Takers ("Self-Assessment Process") takes account of the Group's governance, organisational and operational model, and it is performed at least on an annual basis at consolidated level, in respect of the indications provided by the Supervisory Provisions.
In particular, in coherence with the provisions of the XXV update of Circular 285 of the Bank of Italy, doBank has formalised a process of identifying the Material Risk Takers, based upon qualitative and quantitative criteria indicated in Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 604/2014, which defines:
The self-assessment process aimed at identifying material risk takers involves the different functions of the doBank Group, as summarily illustrated below:
The Parent Company's Internal Audit Function ensures – as part of the overall ex post verification of the application of the remuneration policies and compliance with the regulations - the correct implementation of the process for identifying material risk takers and the coherence with the approved procedure.
The self-assessment takes into account the Group's organisational characteristics, the management and control function carried out by doBank with respect to the subsidiaries and the Group's specific businesses (core business consisting of NPL servicing agreements for banking principals and the essential absence of any commercial, investment or private banking activities). In particular, through the recognition and assessment of the individual positions (e.g. responsibilities, hierarchical levels, activities performed, operational delegations, etc.), the positions are identified that may have a substantial impact on the Group's risk profile.
For 2019, 24 individuals were identified falling within the category of Material Risk Takers at Group level, as illustrated below:
The 24 employees identified represent 1.9% of the Group's total employees at 31/12/2018. The perimeter identified involves the increase of 3 resources compared to the Material Risk Takers identified in 2018 (21 resources), by virtue of organisational changes occurring during the year.
The check of quantitative criteria did not lead to the identification of other resources who may have a substantial impact on the Group's risk profile. In particular, there is no individual within the Group, not already previously identified among the qualitative criteria, with overall remuneration above the criteria identified by the EBA technical standards.
The managers with strategic responsibilities identified by the doBank Group are, in addition to the members of the Board of Auditors and the Board of Directors of the parent company doBank, the following:
In keeping with regulatory provisions, the group of Material Risk Takers is monitored on an ongoing basis and may be subject to modifications during the year that will be formalised and submitted to the Remuneration Committee and to the Board of Directors as soon as possible, and brought to the attention of the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of the annual disclosure concerning the application of the Policies.
The remuneration systems are differentiated for the following categories of Personnel and collaborators:
The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting establishes the remuneration to be paid to the bodies it appoints, and in particular, to the members of the Board of Directors. The Shareholders' Meeting may set a maximum amount for the remuneration of all Directors, including the Directors holding specific roles, to be distributed among the individual members as decided by the Board of Directors.
The allocation methods of the remuneration of the Board of Directors among its members are established by resolution of the Board itself. If not resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting, after consulting with the Board of Auditors and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors establishes the remuneration of the Directors filling specific roles in accordance with Art. 2389, third paragraph of the Italian Civil Code (including the Directors forming part of the Board committees). The Chairman of the Board of Directors, more specifically, receives remuneration, the level of which is consistent with his central role and is determined ex ante in an amount in any case not exceeding the fixed remuneration received by the senior members of the Body with management functions (i.e. Chief Executive Officer).
The Shareholders' Meeting of 19/4/2018 has established for the members of the Board of Directors overall gross annual remuneration of Euro 850,000.00, of which:
In light of what is established by the Shareholders' Meeting and taking account of the remuneration already assigned by the Shareholders' Meeting itself to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors, coherently with the provisions of the Articles of Association in that regard and having consulted with the Remuneration Committee, has established:
The Chief Executive Officer has waived the fee due to him in the capacity of Director.
The Directors are also entitled to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the exercise of their functions.
After consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Parent Company's Board of Directors also proposes remuneration for members of the subsidiaries' boards of directors. Members of the subsidiaries' boards of directors who are also Group employees do not receive fees for the position of Board Director unless they are assigned specific roles.
The non-executive Directors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors do not receive variable remuneration systems.
All directors of the Parent Company and subsidiaries are also entitled to a D&O (Directors & Officers) insurance policy.
The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolves upon the annual fee due to each auditor in accordance with the law. That sum is fixed and invariable for the entire duration of the assignment. In no case may the Auditors receive forms of variable remuneration.
The Shareholders' Meeting of 19 April 2018 defined the following fees on an annual basis:
The Auditors are also entitled to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the exercise of their functions
The Auditors are also entitled to a D&O (Directors & Officers) insurance policy.
The remuneration structure of the Group's Chief Executive Officer is established in such a way to align the incentives with the Group's long-term interests, and in general, those of shareholders and investors, and to ensure the long-term sustainability of remuneration and incentive systems while taking into account changes in risks assumed by the Group over time. The structure of the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration has fixed and variable components established so as to maximise the alignment with the interests of the leading shareholder and investors.
The remuneration package of the Chief Executive Officer of doBank S.p.A., in line with the provisions of the 2018 remuneration policy, is broken down as follows:
Benefits are also assigned that are in line with the relevant policies, in addition to D&O (Directors and Officers) insurance coverage, of stable and pre-determined nature.

Remuneration Package Pay Mix and MBO Chart for the Chief Executive Officer
Variable remuneration is paid based on the level of achievement of the assigned objectives.
The maximum opportunity is recognised upon achieving all assigned objectives.
The assigned variable remuneration is gradually reduced for performances not in line with the assigned objectives.
The same is zeroed if the activation gates are not exceeded in terms of profitability and capital and liquidity requirements.
The graph depicts changes in the performance of the payout compared to the profitability target, zeroing the variable component if the performance is below the threshold value, and paying 100% if the target value is achieved.
Payout Vs Target

The payment of variable remuneration is subject to the preliminary and joint satisfaction of the requirements of the activation gates which also ensure compliance with capital and liquidity stability indexes established as a part of the procedures to assess the Group's risk appetite.
Specifically, no variable remuneration is paid in the event that the activation gates identified for the purposes of activating the Group's incentive systems are not exceeded as specified in paragraph 5.3.4, ("Group Gates"):
The values of these indicators are checked at 31 December of the relevant year.
In that regard, it is noted that the economic parameters are linked to consolidated EBITDA, correlated to the level of capital adequacy and the liquidity profile, as indicators of the risk generated by the Group's activity.
In order to align the incentives with the long-term interests of the Group, and in general, those of shareholders and investors, and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the remuneration and incentive systems, and taking into account the performance over time of the risks assumed by the Group, any variable remuneration assigned is paid over a timeframe of several years as indicated in the diagram below:

he payment of deferred shares is also subject to the verification of the following malus conditions:
The values of these indicators are checked at 31 December of the year before the deferred share is vested.
Once the achievement of the above conditions has been checked, the payment of the deferred shares is also subject to verifying the condition that the average market value of shares over the 3 months preceding the vesting date is at least equal to the price of shares on the listing date less 5% (Minimum Vesting Value). If, on the vesting date, the Minimum Vesting Value has not been achieved, the vesting will be deferred by 12 months, after which the condition will again be verified, and if again it has not been met, vesting will be deferred a further 12 months; if at this point (24 months after the original vesting date) the Minimum Vesting Value has not been achieved, the corresponding deferred share will be cancelled.
In addition, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors may request the return of the variable remuneration assigned to the Chief Executive Officer within 7 years from the payment of the individual shares due to:
The remuneration structure is broken down into a fixed and variable component.
In keeping with the shareholders' meeting resolution of 21 June 2017 and applicable regulatory provisions, with regard to Material Risk Takers, the maximum limit of variable to fixed remuneration is set at 2:1 as well as for the Chief Executive Officer and Key Resources. The determination of the percentage for each beneficiary, within the maximum indicated, is proposed by the Human Resources Department after consulting with the Chief Executive Officer, and approved by the Board of Directors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee. The number of employees included in Material Risk Takers and recipients of potential variable remuneration up to 2:1 is consistent with the provisions of the above shareholders' meeting resolution.
For the remaining Material Risk Takers, the maximum limit of variable to fixed remuneration is set at 1:1 with the exception of heads of Company Control Functions and other equivalent positions with reference to the independence of the variable remuneration systems from the overall profit4 , for which the limit is reduced to 33% of fixed remuneration.
With regard to the remaining categories of personnel, who are not risk takers, the limit is usually set at a maximum ratio of 1:1 compared to fixed remuneration. For certain select employees, up to 2 individuals, who have responsibility for project-related initiatives and planning under way ("Selected Resources"), the maximum limit of variable remuneration is raised to 2:1 compared to fixed remuneration, in all cases adhering to sound and prudent risk management practices.
For Managers receiving variable opportunities in shares, the maximum limit of the variable remuneration is raised to 1.5:1, only in the situations in which 1:1 is exceeded by virtue of the share plan, in any case adhering to sound and prudent risk management and considering a long-term timeframe. These employees are identified by the Chief Executive Officer with the support of the Human Resources Function, and the related remuneration structure is approved by the Board of Directors subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee.
4 In conformity with the regulations in force on the matter, the Company Control Functions include: the Risk Management Function; the Compliance and Internal Audit Function; for the sole purposes of these policies, the Head of Human Resources and the Manager in Charge of preparing the Accounting Documents are equivalent.
In the case of resources identified during the Accrual Period as part of the Material Risk Takers falling within that category for a period of over 3 months, the procedures for paying overall Variable Remuneration will be aligned to provisions in terms of the conditions for access (paragraph 5.3.4) and procedures for payment (paragraph 5.5) for Material Risk Takers participating in the MBO system. For periods less than 3 months, the procedures for paying the Variable Remuneration component applicable to Risk Takers will only be applied for the vested portion for this category of personnel.
Below is the maximum percentage (for determining possible variable remuneration) for the various categories of Material Risk Takers:
| Maximum percentage of Variable Remuneration Fixed Remuneration |
on |
|---|---|
| Chief Executive Officer | Up to 200% |
| Identified Risk Takers and Selected Resources | Up to 200% |
| Heads of Company Control Functions and similar positions |
Up to 33% |
| Other Risk Takers | Up to 100% |
The adoption of any variable remuneration higher than fixed remuneration must not have repercussions on the Group's ability to continue to respect prudential rules and particularly capital requirements.
Moreover, this approach makes it possible to ensure a stronger connection between remuneration and performance; to stay competitive on the market, especially in relation to those operators who have different rules with no ceiling on variable remuneration; to maintain a flexible cost structure and to ensure alignment with the long-term performance by deferring a component of variable remuneration.
In line with what is indicated in the relevant regulation, the overall remuneration includes a fixed component which is characterised as stable and irrevocable, determined on the basis of nondiscretional criteria, relating to the professionalism and responsibility of the role and not related to the bank's performance so as not to create incentives to assume risks.
The fixed component includes the Gross Annual Salary, which is made up of the portion dictated by the National Collective Labour Agreement, by the Company Supplementary Contract, by any "ad personam"5pay (personal pay increase), by indemnities for roles within the company organisation as well as benefits, when granted to all employees or by category or bracket of employees or by company role covered.
In particular, "benefits" - not related to performance - are forms of remuneration in kind, and also the result of policies concerning categories of employees or second-level contracts, aimed at increasing the motivation and loyalty of employees. The main benefits that can currently be granted to
5The ad personam pay is a remuneration element that may be granted to the individual Personnel member in addition to the contractual minimum sum, so as to provide him/her with more favourable economic treatment than that required by the collective agreement for the category to which the employee belongs.
Personnel, in addition to what is already provided by the National Collective Labour Agreement (where applicable) in coherence with the internal regulations applicable each time, are:
As regards the Company Bodies, the fixed component is established in compliance with applicable civil and statutory regulations.
The remuneration policy measures having an impact on the structural part of remuneration, as well as any assignment of benefits, are usually implemented on an annual basis.
The overall remuneration includes a variable component related to the measured performance or other agreed parameters, discretional pension benefits, sums agreed to be paid in the case of early termination of the employment relationship.
The Parent Company, to that end, has identified the following instruments of variable remuneration:
benchmarks and competitive environment. It must be approved by the Parent Company's Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee. Given the characteristics of the bonus and its insignificant amount, the same is paid in monetary form and is not deferred over time;
• Bonuses related to specific contexts: possible variable component aimed at guiding the Manager network (excluding Material Risk Takers) toward objectives for the period. The bonuses may be paid in cash or in kind. The granting of context-related bonuses will be subject to ongoing behaviour that complies with external and internal regulations.
Additional forms of extraordinary variable remuneration may be provided (i.e. entry bonuses, nondisclosure agreements, buy-outs or selective retention measures). This remuneration is, however, assigned in keeping with the controls laid down by the Supervisory Provisions (for example, effect on the variable/fixed remuneration ratio, verification of capital solidity in the attribution phase, methods of payment of variable remuneration, where applicable). It is monitored periodically and reported to the competent bodies and functions; it is also subject to malus and claw-back conditions compatible with the regulatory provisions in force from time to time with particular reference to the category of personnel in question.
If this compensation is assigned to the Group's Key Personnel, it is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, and 40% of it is deferred for one year, in the case of total variable remuneration assigned within the ratio of 1:1, and 40% is deferred over 3 years, with a component in financial instruments in keeping with provisions for variable remuneration, in the case of total variable remuneration assigned above the 1:1 ratio.
The sums paid by way of entry bonus are not calculated in the maximum ratio of variable on fixed remuneration, provided that they are paid to new recruits only for the first year of employment.
Any further forms of remuneration not included in those described in this paragraph are to be considered variable remuneration if they do not reflect the precise characteristics of fixed remuneration described in paragraph 5.3.1.
The total variable remuneration assigned may not be higher than the limit for the ratio of the variable to fixed component applicable to the personnel category in accordance with the Policies.
In keeping with the Supervisory Provisions, the total amount of variable remuneration that can be paid at Group level (Bonus Pool) is determined using objective criteria, which take account of the expected profitability, the number and type of personnel, the respective theoretical bonus levels, the type of business and, in any case, the capacity of each company to provide a return on capital.
The size of the Bonus Pool is defined during the budgeting process, considering the capitalisation and liquidity targets of the Parent Company and of each individual Company. Therefore, the maximum amount of the variable remuneration component that can be paid is determined ex ante by the Parent Company, including in accordance with established qualitative objectives. The same constitutes one of the parameters for defining the actual economic provisioning as part of operational planning at consolidated level and at the level of each individual Group company.
At the start of the following year, once the individual and overall performance has been verified, the Human Resources Function determines the total Bonus Pool resulting from assigning variable remuneration related to all systems described, and it asks the Risk Management Function and Administration, Finance and Management Control Area to verify its sustainability with respect to the overall income results and the risk management strategy.
The actual assignment is subject to meeting the conditions for accessing incentive systems.
Once the achievement of overall Group-level, Company-level and individual objectives has been verified, the Bonus Pool that is actually available is calibrated at individual level to make the variable remuneration paid consistent with the Group's overall performance.
The Group's incentive system dictates that access to the variable component, with the sole exclusion of the outstanding bonus, context bonus and business productivity bonus, is subject to the preliminary and joint satisfaction of activation gates that also guarantee compliance with capital and liquidity stability indicators defined as part of the procedures for assessing the Group's risk appetite.
In particular, the indicators identified for the purposes of determining the minimum thresholds for accessing the variable component ("Group Gates") are:
The values of these indicators are checked at 31 December of the relevant year.
In that regard, it is noted that the economic parameters are linked to consolidated EBITDA, correlated to the level of capital adequacy and the liquidity profile, as indicators of the risk generated by the Group's activity.
The following exceptions are noted:
The Key Employees identified as a part of Material Risk Takers participate in an MBO incentive system whose maximum limit for the variable component for achieving objectives is equal to 200% of the fixed remuneration component.
The objectives assigned are aimed at motivating Key Resources to achieve the Group's profitability objectives as a part of the development strategy pursued as well as sound and prudent risk management. The relevant objectives are provided below:

The assignment of variable remuneration is subject to achieving the objectives assigned and verifying the access conditions described in paragraph 5.3.4, in addition to assessing overall compliance with internal and external rules and rules concerning good professional conduct.
Fifty percent of possible variable remuneration is provided in cash, and the remaining 50% in doBank shares; the latter are subject to a retention period, as represented below.
The actual assignment of the variable component and the respective amount, within the maximum limits established in paragraph 5.3, are determined at the end of a process assessing the achievement of the specified objectives managed by the Parent Company's Human Resources Function.
Any variable remuneration assigned is paid over several years based on the arrangement indicated below:

an Up-Front Share of 60% is paid after approval, by the Shareholders' Meeting, of the financial statements relating to the Accrual Period, within 30 days of the approval date, and in any case by the end of July;
a share of 40% is deferred on a pro rata basis over the three financial years after the year of assignment of the variable part paid up-front and is paid by the end of July of each year;
The retention periods that start at the time of vesting and regarding variable remuneration assigned in the form of financial instruments were set at:
The deferment schedule shown is already aligned to the most stringent requirements defined in the case of particularly high variable remuneration, in line with the provisions of the XXV update of Circular 285 for intermediaries of even higher complexities than doBank. To that end, variable remuneration at least equal to 25% of the overall average remuneration of Italian high earners identified by EBA at 31/12/2017, amounting to €424,809, is considered.
In order to ensure capital and liquidity stability over time (which is associated with the ability to generate profitability appropriate to the risk), and in keeping with the Group's long-term strategic objectives, the deferred shares are paid on the condition that the following gates are achieved relating to capital strength and liquidity (already described in paragraph 5.3.4), measured with reference to the year preceding their vesting period.
The risk tolerance thresholds relating to CET1 and LCR are determined in a manner to incorporate sufficient profitability.
The deferred shares are paid within 30 days of the Shareholders' Meeting approving the financial statements, and in any case, by the end of July of each year of deferral.
The methods for paying the variable component described are applied if the variable sum accrued individually is higher than 40,000 Euros (known as the "threshold of relevance"). For vested amounts of Variable Remuneration lower than that threshold, the variable component is paid in cash and in a lump sum - by the end of July in the year following the Accrual Period - as the shares resulting from the application of the deferment mechanisms (payment in shares and retention) would be very insignificant, both in absolute and relative terms compared to the overall remuneration received, to the point of invalidating the underlying principle of the mechanism (correlation between the amount of the bonus and the assumption of risks).
The other Risk Takers of the Group are attributed an MBO incentive system whose maximum limit of the variable component based upon the achievement of the objectives is 100% of the fixed component of remuneration, except for the Heads of the Company Control Functions and similar figures, for whom a maximum incidence of 33% is defined.
The objectives assigned are aimed at incentivising management to achieve the Group's profitability objectives as a part of the development strategy pursued as well as sound and prudent risk management. The economic-financial objectives are balanced with qualitative objectives correlated to the management and professional quality expressed and the customer service levels, alongside the verification of the absence of behaviours not compliant with the code of ethics and the internal and external regulations.
The assignment of variable remuneration is subject to achieving the objectives assigned and verifying the access conditions described in paragraph 5.3.4, in addition to assessing overall compliance with internal and external rules and rules concerning good professional conduct.
More specifically, the actual payment of the variable component for MBO Personnel is subject to the joint achievement of the following objectives:
The attribution of the variable component to Personnel belonging to the Company Control Functions and similar figures is subject to the achievement of specific gates (i.e. CET1 and LCR as indicated in paragraph 5.3.4) and to achieving individual objectives, and the latter are not linked to profit parameters but defined in keeping with duties assigned to them (for example, completion percentage of quantitative objectives assigned, or linked to organisational behaviours connected to the specific activities performed) and the respective responsibilities. Thus, the individual objectives form does not include the Group profitability component or other economic-financial objectives.
The actual assignment of the variable component and the respective amount, within the maximum limits established in paragraph 5.3, are determined at the outcome of a process to assess the achievement of the specified objectives managed by the Parent Company's Human Resources Function.

Any variable remuneration assigned is paid based on the arrangement indicated below:
a 60% share of the vested bonus paid at the end of the performance period (up-front);
a 40% share is deferred for a period of 1 year.
Both the up-front and deferred shares are paid in cash, and thus, they are not restricted by a retention period.
In order to ensure capital and liquidity stability over time (which is associated with the ability to generate appropriate profit for the risk), and in keeping with the Group's long-term strategic objectives, the deferred shares are paid on the condition that the following gates are achieved relating to financial and capital solidity and to liquidity (described in paragraph 5.3.4 above), measured with reference to the year preceding their vesting period.
The risk tolerance thresholds relating to CET1 and LCR are determined in a manner to incorporate sufficient profitability.
In the case of variable remuneration higher than 25% of the average overall remuneration of Italian high earners identified by EBA at 31/12/2017, amounting to €424,809, the MBO and deferment scheme is applied with payment in cash and shares, retention, malus and claw back clauses described in paragraph 5.4.
The methods for paying the variable component described are applied if the variable sum accrued individually is higher than 40,000 Euros (known as the "threshold of relevance"). For values lower than that threshold, the variable component is paid in cash and in a lump sum - by the end of July of the year after the Accrual Period - as the shares resulting from the application of the deferment mechanisms, both in absolute and relative terms compared to the overall remuneration received would be very insignificant, to the point of actually invalidating the underlying principle of the mechanism (correlation between amount of bonus and assumption of risks).
Other Group managerial employees are attributed an MBO incentive system whose maximum limit for the variable component for achieving objectives is equal to 100% of the fixed remuneration component.
There is the possibility of having a different incidence, up to a maximum of 200% of the fixed remuneration, for some selected resources (up to a maximum of 2).
With reference to the MBO incentive system attributed to the heads of structure relating to the perimeter of Managers, it may be integrated with a plan developed over a long-term timeframe, with objectives coherent with the provisions of strategic development, aimed at strengthening the incentive to achieve the results in view of the evolution of the competitive context and to gain the long-term loyalty of resources. That plan, based upon doBank ordinary shares, is structured in line with regulatory provisions, considering the principles of sound and prudent risk management and alignment with principles of transparency and correctness. For the heads of structure relating to the perimeter of Managers and recipients of variable opportunities in Shares, the maximum limit of variable remuneration is raised to 1.5:1, only in situations where 1:1 is exceeded by virtue of the share plan, in any case in respect of the alignment with sound and prudent risk management and taking account of a long-term timeframe.
The assigned objectives are aimed at motivating management to achieve the Group's profitability objectives as part of the development strategy pursued as well as sound and prudent risk management. The economic-financial objectives are balanced with qualitative objectives correlated to the management and professional quality expressed and the customer service levels, alongside the verification of the absence of behaviours not compliant with the code of ethics and the internal and external regulations.
The assignment of variable remuneration is subject to achieving the objectives assigned and verifying the access conditions described in paragraph 5.3.4, in addition to assessing overall compliance with internal and external rules and rules concerning good professional conduct.
More specifically, the actual payment of the variable component for MBO Personnel is subject to the joint achievement of the following objectives:
The actual assignment of the variable component and the respective amount, within the maximum limits established in paragraph 5.3, are determined at the outcome of a process to assess the achievement of the specified objectives managed by the Parent Company's Human Resources Function.
Any variable remuneration attributed is paid in full in monetary form and up-front.
The MBO recipients earning variable remuneration higher than 100%, even if they do not belong to the categories of Material Risk Takers, receive, in coherence with a prudential logic, the MBO and deferment scheme and payment in cash and shares, retention, malus and claw back clauses described in paragraph 5.4.
The variable component based upon shares of the heads of structure relating to the perimeter of Managers may involve a deferment system, coherently with the objectives of loyalty and long-term incentives of that system.
The Managers, excluding the heads of structure participating in the MBO system, receive an incentive system developed by way of a balanced combination of objectives.
The objectives assigned to that category of Personnel - also on an interim basis (the "Reference Period"), according to what is defined during their assignment based upon the business strategies and company targets – may be articulated into team and/or structure objectives with the possibility of integrating individual objectives (linked, for example, to "collection targets"), balanced with qualitative objectives aimed at aligning the individual conduct with the code of ethics and principles of fairness.
The Parent Company has provided maximum ceilings, separate for each professional figure, to the sums of individual bonuses that may be paid within the year in order to guarantee a fair system and respect of financial sustainability.
The incentive system for Managers may be integrated with a plan developed over a long-term timeframe, with objectives coherent with the provisions of strategic development, aimed at strengthening the incentive to achieve results in view of the evolution of the competitive context and to gain the long-term loyalty of resources. That plan, based upon doBank ordinary shares, is structured in line with regulatory provisions, considering the principles of sound and prudent risk management and alignment with principles of transparency and correctness. The respective beneficiaries are identified within the perimeter of the Managers. For recipients of the variable opportunities in Shares, the maximum limit of the variable remuneration is raised to 1.5:1, only in situations where 1:1 is exceeded by virtue of the share plan, in any case in respect of the alignment with sound and prudent risk management and taking account of a long-term timeframe. In that regard, the variable component based upon shares of Managers may involve a deferment system, coherently with the objectives of loyalty and long-term incentives of that system.
The remuneration of the Group's Personnel not falling within the aforementioned classifications mainly consists of the fixed component.
Despite not being recipients of structured incentive systems (i.e. MBO), any variable component paid to that category of Personnel (i.e. merit or outstanding bonuses), within the limits established in the Bonus Pool approved ex ante and indicated in paragraph 5.3.2, is subject to achieving a positive assessment from the respective supervisors, validated by the Human Resources Function.
The Supervisory Provisions define specific rules to be applied to the remuneration systems of financial agents, insurance agents and financial advisors, other than employees of the bank, in addition to general principles related to the external distribution networks in their entirety.
In that regard, it is noted that the Parent Company's external network is made up of external professionals6 that deal with the extra-judicial recovery activity of credits claimed by doBank and/or managed by it on behalf of third parties, and that do not perform distribution activities (as they do not deal with the promotion or conclusion of contracts relating to the granting of loans).
Thus, the Supervisory Provisions related to financial agents are not applicable to doBank's external network.
In order to reflect the performance and risk levels actually assumed, as well as to take account of individual behaviours, the Group applies ex post correction mechanisms (malus and claw-back) defined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant National Collective Labour Agreements, where applicable, or any individual contracts/mandates.
In particular, in addition to being subject to meeting the Group Gates with regard to profitability thresholds and capital and liquidity requirements as described in paragraph 5.3.4 and, where applicable, the achievement of the individual objectives/positive assessment by the respective supervisor, the variable component of remuneration may not be paid if one of the following conditions (malus) is met:
6Lawyers, Barristers, Business Consultants, Employment Consultants, Licence Holders, pursuant to Art. 115 of the T.U.L.P.S. or financial agents.
doBank or to Group companies.
In addition, for deferred shares, the risk tolerance thresholds identified in the risk appetite framework approved by the Parent Company on capital and liquidity metrics must be exceeded.
Upon the occurrence of one of the above conditions, the Group companies are also entitled to assess the return of any sums, in full or for a share, already paid (claw-back clause).
Each year, and in any case in advance of payment of the variable component, the Human Resources Function - with support from the Parent Company's competent Company Functions - verifies whether any conditions have been met that are likely to result in non-payment (malus) or the return of bonuses already assigned (claw-back) and assesses the cases to be submitted for a potential resolution to be passed by the competent Company Bodies.
Claw-back clauses apply to all variable remuneration assigned for any purpose.
Summarising the above paragraphs, the malus conditions vary on the basis of the cluster concerned.
For the Chief Executive Officer, the payment of deferred shares is subject to:
For "Key Resources" and the "Selected Resources" the payment of deferred shares is subject to:
For the remaining Material Risk Takers, the payment of deferred shares in cash is subject to the same malus conditions specified for "Key Resources" and "Selected Resources".
In addition, after consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors may ask for the return (claw-back) of the variable remuneration assigned in relation to the specific performance year, if, in reference to that year, the following are found within 7 years for the Chief Executive Officer, 5 years for Material Risk Takers, or within 2 years for remaining personnel from the payment date of the deferred shares:
• with reference to the Executive Directors and to Managers with Strategic Responsibility, in the case of data relating to the activation gates, objectives or vesting conditions that are later found to be manifestly incorrect.
Logics such as the application of personal hedging strategies or insurance on remuneration or on other aspects, aimed at altering, if not even eliminating, the logics of risk weighting inherent in remuneration and incentive mechanisms are prohibited.
The employees of the Parent Company and the Subsidiaries may not use, through specific agreements, personal hedging strategies or insurance on remuneration or on other aspects that may alter or invalidate the effects of alignment to the risk inherent in the remuneration mechanisms indicated in the Policy.
Coherently with the provisions laid down by the XXV update of Circular 285, title IV Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 5, the Material Risk Takers are asked to communicate the existence and opening of custody and administration accounts at other intermediaries, as well as any financial investments made in relation to instruments related to the doBank Shares, so that doBank can consider them in the phase of alignment to the risk of the remuneration and incentive policies and systems.
Coherently with the resolution of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 5 March 2019, upon achieving the clearance from the Supervisory Authorities expected by the first half of 2019, doBank will acquire the nature of pure servicing company equipped with a licence in accordance with Art. 115 of TULPS and its qualification as a "banking group" will therefore cease.
The Parent Company, in the new structure, maintains, with reference to the regulatory context, the regulation of companies issuing securities traded on the regulated markets, while it will no longer be subject to the prudential supervision rules for banks and banking groups.
doBank has chosen to maintain, even after the transformation, with reference to the variable remuneration systems of 2019, some specific aspects of the banking sector, insofar as they are applicable, in line with the principle of alignment to the effective results and durations that take account of the risks assumed.
Below is a description of the possible areas of implementation of the incentive system payment schemes upon the occurrence of the transformation, provided that transformation occurs before 30 June 2019. If it occurs after the 30 June, the same rules described in paragraphs 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 will be maintained for 2019. In that case, the conditions of capitalisation and liquidity will be verified with reference to the last available data identified.
In that context, with reference to the remuneration of the Managing Director during 2019 the Remuneration Committee will define a revision proposal of the remuneration structure, coherently with the applicable regulatory framework and taking account of the area of European operations that characterises the new strategic path, to be submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors and, then, to the next Shareholders' Meeting.
In the meantime, the remuneration structure described in paragraph 5.2 will be maintained, as described below:
The variable remuneration is attributed based upon the level of achievement of the assigned objectives and, with reference to the overall sustainability, the verification of the profitability gate is maintained (the variable remuneration is paid in the presence of consolidated EBITDA at least equal to 90% of the lesser between what is defined during the strategic and operational planning and 64 million Euros), while the capital and liquidity gates are no longer applicable, as they are closely related to the prudential supervision provisions.
Also with reference to the payment of the deferred shares, the check of the capital gates no longer takes place while the following malus conditions are maintained:
The values of these indicators are checked at 31 December of the year before the deferred share is vested.
Once the achievement of the above conditions has been checked, the payment of deferred shares is also subject to verifying the condition that the average market value of shares over the 3 months preceding vesting is at least equal to the price of shares on the listing date less 5% (Minimum Vesting Value). If on the vesting date, the minimum vesting value has not been reached, vesting will be deferred by 12 months, after which, the condition will again be verified and, if again it has not been met, vesting will be deferred a further 12 months; if at this point (24 months after the original vesting date) the Minimum Vesting Value has not been reached, the corresponding deferred share will be cancelled.
In addition, the claw-back clauses relating to manifestly incorrect data or the occurrence of wilful misconduct or gross negligence are also maintained.
With reference to the Key Resources and Selected Resources with the opportunity of variable remuneration higher than fixed remuneration, upon the cessation of the qualification of "banking group" before 30 June 2019, the variable remuneration structure will have the following characteristics:
Any modification of the structure of variable remuneration described in paragraph 5.4 in order to introduce, in whole or in part, greater flexibility in the limits provided above may be activated in favour of the recipients, subject to resolution by the Board of Directors, having heard from the Remuneration Committee.
The variable remuneration is paid upon achieving the assigned objectives and in the presence of a consolidated EBITDA at least equal to 90% of the lower between what was defined during the strategic and operational planning and 64 million Euros, while the capital and liquidity gates are no longer applicable, as they are closely linked to the prudential supervision provisions. Similarly, the deferred shares are paid in the presence of a consolidated EBITDA at least equal to 90% of the lesser between what was defined during the strategic and operational planning and 64 million Euros;
As regards the deferred payments relating to the years preceding 2019 the deferment period provided by the Remuneration Policy in force at the time of the final calculation of the variable will be maintained, subject to the actual payment being conditional upon the continuance of the employment relationship.
With reference to the other Risk Takers, with maximum variable remuneration equal to the fixed remuneration, paid in full in monetary form, upon the cessation of the qualification as "banking group" before 30 June 2019, the method of payment of variable remuneration, scheduled in paragraph 5.5 will have a deferment no less than 30% for a period of 1 year, subject to the resolution by the Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee.
The variable remuneration is paid upon achieving the assigned objectives and in the presence of consolidated EBITDA at least equal to 90% of the lower between what is defined during the strategic and operational planning and 64 million Euros, while the capital and liquidity gates are no longer applicable, as they are closely linked to the prudential supervision provisions.
As regards deferred payments relating to years preceding 2019 the deferment period provided by the Remuneration Policy in force at the time of final calculation of the variable will be maintained, subject to the actual payment being conditional upon the continuance of the employment relationship.
Severance pay policies are subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting in keeping with applicable regulatory provisions, especially with regard to criteria for determining remuneration to be paid in the event of the early termination of the employment relationship or early cessation of the role, including the limits set for that remuneration in terms of years of fixed remuneration and the maximum amount resulting from their application.
In view of the new provisions introduced with the XXV update of Circular 285 of the Bank of Italy, the Shareholders' Meeting of 17 April 2019 is submitted, for approval, the updated document, including the formula defined on the basis of the definition of any remuneration aimed at limiting the risks connected to any disputes during the early termination of the employment relationship and/or early cessation of the role (the maximum limits remain unchanged).

Section II of the Remuneration Report was prepared in accordance with:
The 2018 remuneration and incentive policies of the doBank Group (hereafter, the "Policy"), were approved on 19 March 2018 by the Parent Company's Board of Directors and by the Shareholders' Meeting on 19 April 2018.
The Remuneration Committee, established in July 2017, at 31 December 2018 consisted of:
| COMITATO PER LA REMUNERAZIONE | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRESIDENTE | NUNZIO GUGLIELMINO | ||||||||
| MEMBRO | GIOVANNI LO STORTO | ||||||||
| MEMBRO | FRANCESCO COLASANTI |
During 2018, 5 meetings of that Committee were held with reference to Remuneration. Below are details of the meetings and the subjects discussed during those Committees:
Meetings and matters discussed on remuneration in sessions of the Remuneration Committee
| Session | Matters discussed |
|---|---|
| 08 March 2018 | - Modification of organisational structure reporting to Chief Executive Officer – Termination of employment relationship with resource in the perimeter of Material Risk Takers; - Corporate Governance Report; area of pertinence to the Committee. |
| 19 March 2018 | - 2018 remuneration policy (2018 policy and 2017 implementation/review); - Group incentive plan based upon financial instruments - Consob information table; - Severance Pay Policies - Definition of 2018 Perimeter of Material Risk Takers; |
| 16 April 2018 | - - Update of Regulations on remuneration based upon stock instruments intended for the Chief Executive Officer and the Key Resources (Stock Granting Plan); |
|---|---|
| 25 May 2018 | - - Remuneration of the manager of the NewCo set-up and future manager of the bank, scheduled as part of the Reorganisation process; |
| 17 October 2018 | - Proposal of Additional Selected Resources to whom to attribute a variable component higher than 100%: 2018 incentive system; - Regulation on remuneration based upon stock instruments intended for Key Resources and Additional Selected Resources (2018 Stock Based Incentive Plan). |
With reference to the performance of doBank S.p.A. in the 2018 financial year, following the final analysis of the results achieved at 31 December 2018, the achievement of the minimum level provided for the "Group Gates" and the consequent activation of the related incentive systems is highlighted. Below are details for each "gate indicator".
| INDICATOR | GATE VALUE | FINAL BALANCE | RESULT |
|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | 64 m/€ | 81.3 m/€ | |
| CET 1 RATIO | 11.75% | 26.1% | |
| LCR | 110% | 616% |
The "Group Gates" described above allow for the activation of all variable components described in the above paragraphs.
The overall Bonus Pool accrued amounts to €12,911,372, corresponding to 15.09% of the pre- bonus pool EBITDA. The amount indicated does not prejudice the capital and liquidity requirements, broadly conservative with respect to the risk tolerance thresholds outlined in the RAF, as highlighted by the Risk Management function. Coherently with the Supervisory Provisions and with what is defined in the 2018 Group Policy, in no case does the sum of the different incentive components determine an overall bonus higher than 200% of the fixed remuneration for Material Risk Takers, for whom the raising of the limit of the ratio between the variable and fixed component has been requested, and 100% of the fixed remuneration for the remaining personnel.

EBITDA Pre-Bonus Pool 2017 Vs 2018
The final calculation of the "individual" objectives forms of the MBO system led to a total amount of €3,653,089 (excluding the Chief Executive Officer), of which €2,068,381 relates to the Material Risk Takers; the incidence of the bonuses paid to the Material Risk Takers with an incidence higher than 1:1 on the fixed remuneration - and, therefore, recipients of more stringent provisions with reference to the articulation of the deferment and the share component - amounts to €1,746,141.
The average level of achievement of the "individual" objectives forms for all recipient personnel of the 2018 MBO System stands at 96.16% (and for Material Risk Takers at 107.69%).
Unlike the articulation of the objectives described in the remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 19 April 2018, in view of the important transformation phase begun during 2018, both in terms of corporate structure and organisational and strategic structure, and the need to maintain strong cohesion and focus with respect to the overall results in a phase of strong discontinuity, the objectives assigned in the MBO 2018 forms were cross-sectional with a prevalent incidence of economic-financial Group objectives, assessing the individual contribution to achieving the strategy through mainly qualitative indicators.
During 2018, for the Managers, at the end of each incentive period, the bonuses due were liquidated subject to achieving the scheduled objectives. The overall final calculation of the variable share of the Management incentive system ended with the assignment of bonuses to 73% of Managers for a total amount of €2,404,480.
It is noted that the 2018 Incentive Plan for Managers based upon doBank shares was not activated.
The company productivity bonus ("Per-Capita Value Added" or "PVA") will be paid to entitled employees, positioned in the Professional Areas and Senior Managers (about 1,200 individuals), under the terms and conditions provided by the National Collective Agreement for Credit and the second level contracts with the Trade Union Organisations, by way of attribution of a bonus within the company welfare system or in monetary form, as chosen by the employee.
Given the achievement of the Group gates, the total amount for the merit bonus is €1,214,703 to be paid to worthy Resources identified, within a perimeter of about 550 people, with the involvement of the managers.
During 2018, no outstanding bonuses were paid.
The total amount of variable remuneration for 2018 for the purposes of prudential supervision, including the bonus pool accrued in 2018 and the deferred shares from previous years, was subject to an economic-financial sustainability opinion of the Risk Management Function which did not highlight any criticalities from the perspective of overall sustainability and coherence with the Risk Capital Framework (economic, capital and liquidity profile).
It is noted that the 2018 bonus pool, determined according to the Supervisory parameters, was not submitted for approval by the Board of Directors as provided in the remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 19 April 2018.
The amount of Group variable remuneration, approved by the Board of Directors as part of the presentation of the budget on 12/02/2018, is €12,132,173 compared to a maximum exposure of €18,505,421 and the total variable remuneration calculated of €12,911,372.
During 2018 the contract of one Resource with subordinate employment relationship and belonging to the perimeter of the Material Risk Takers was terminated early, for whom, in respect of the 2018 remuneration policy and the Supervisory Provisions in that regard, a sum was paid of €366,000, corresponding to the upfront share of the overall agreed incentive; an amount of €246,000 was deferred by one year, as the malus clause had occurred. The entire amount is subject to the clawback rules. Against a commitment not to suggest or encourage the resignation and/or recruitment of doBank employees for a period of 12 months from the termination date, in February 2019 a sum of €55,000 was paid.
In addition, €1,497,000 was paid by way of staff severance pay to 16 resources from other Personnel. It is noted that for one resource, not belonging to the perimeter of Material Risk Takers, with the purpose of mitigating in advance the reputational risks and higher costs linked to the settlement of the dispute, a fee was paid against the early termination of the employment relationship amounting to 40 months of fixed remuneration, above the limit of 24 months of overall remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting within the severance pay policies.
The amount of fees incurred for the directors amounts to €686,355, while for the auditors and members of the Supervisory Body the sum is €272,006, making an overall cost item of €958,361.
With reference to the period between 1 January and 18 April 2018 the fees resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 7 November 2016 were paid, which established in the maximum value of Euro 645,000 the overall gross annual fee due to the members of the Board of Directors. The annual fee granted for specific roles covered is broken down as follows:
With reference to the period between 19 April 2018 and 31 December 2018 the fees resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 19 April 2018 were paid, which established for the members of the Board of Directors a total annual gross fee of Euro 850,000, of which:
In light of what was established by the Shareholders' Meeting and taking account of the remuneration already assigned by the Shareholders' Meeting itself to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, has suggested establishing at:
With reference to the period between 1 January and 18 April 2018 the fees resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 15 July 2016 were paid, structured on an annual basis as follows:
With reference to the period between 19 April 2018 and 31 December 2018 the fees resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 19 April 2018 were paid, structured on an annual basis as follows:

MD Total Pay Vs EBITDA 2017 Vs 2018
The Chief Executive Officer received, based upon what was established in his individual contract, signed with the Company on 5 April 2016, a fixed fee for the 2018 financial year of €2,503,000, of which €3,000 by way of remuneration in the capacity of director until 18 April 2018, having waived, commencing from 19 April 2018, the fee as director provided by the Shareholders' Meeting on 19 April 2018 amounting to €30,000.
The 2018 fixed remuneration is paid by the following methods: €1,500,000 in shares and €1,003,000 in monetary form.
As regards the variable component, the payment of the same, having verified the achievement of the assigned objectives, occurs, in full in shares, according to the following methods:
Below is the performance achieved by the Chief Executive Officer with reference to the 2018 objectives:
| Indicator | Performance | Performance (%) |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted Ebitda | 100% | |||
| Sustainability | Managed GBV NPL | 93% | ||
| Objectives | Contracts signed different from UC |
100% | ||
| KPI SLA | 100% | |||
| Annual collections | 96% | |||
| Data quality | 100% | |||
| Strategic | Optimisation legal networks/external cons. |
- | ||
| Objectives | Revenues from banking activity | 16% | ||
| Stock price | 100% | |||
| Tier Capital 1 Ratio | 115% |
Based upon the performances achieved, the variable component, attributed in full in shares, amounts to €4,543,600. The respective attribution is distributed over time, subject for 60% to a 5 year deferment, after checking the malus clauses. Both the upfront and deferred component are also subject to a retention period, respectively of 2 years and 1 year.
The individual employment contract that links the Chief Executive Officer to doBank S.p.A. also regulates cases relating to resignation, dismissal/revocation or early termination of the relationship, providing a fee in the case of early termination of the role or non-renewal, within the limits and taking account of the regulatory provisions in that regard, regulated in the severance policy.
In view of the results achieved, the variable remuneration accrued for the Managers with Strategic Responsibility amounts to €2,047,939. The respective information is contained in the quantitative tables, in line with the relevant regulations.
For those resources, beneficiaries of a variable remuneration higher than fixed remuneration, the payment occurs, in line with the policy provisions, for 60% up-front and 40% deferred by 3 years and is paid after the check of the absence of malus clauses. The component in shares is subject to retention periods defined by the Policy: 2 years for the upfront part and 1 year for the deferred shares.
With reference to the other Managers with Strategic Responsibility, excluding the Heads of the Company Control Functions and the other figures for whom the maximum limit has been fixed at 33%, the overall variable remuneration accrued was: €1,811,599.
With reference to the Heads of the Company Control Functions and the other equivalent figures for the purposes of the remuneration policies, falling within the perimeter of Managers with Strategic Responsibility, the total variable remuneration accrued amounts to €236,340.

The audit activity, in line with the requirements of the supervisory regulations in that regard, was aimed at assessing the compliance of the Group's remuneration practices with the 2018 Remuneration and Incentive Policies, by carrying out the following checks:
The checks conducted based upon the final calculation figures provided by the Resources & Transformation Function have highlighted in particular respect of the regulatory requirements in relation to structuring of the incentive system with particular reference to the proportion between the fixed and variable component, payment methods and deferment rules provided in the policies.
In this context, areas for improvement of the internal controls system for the implementation of the remuneration policies were identified in relation to the definition and formalisation of the bonus pool, the structuring of the "MBO Bonus" incentive system and the management of the incentive system for the network of managers.
Those results are partially attributable to the extraordinary nature assumed during the year 2018 based upon the scenario of continuous strategic evolution affecting the Group and making more complex the prompt and effective implementation of the Remuneration Policies. This scenario in fact also limited the capacity to define the individual objectives differentiated by resource, role covered and operating levers, thus not guaranteeing the full correlation between bonuses and measurement of individual performances. Coherently with what was communicated to the company bodies on 17 October 2018, in fact, all key resources were assigned unique and cross-sectional objectives with a prevalent incidence of Group economic-financial objectives.
The main areas for improvement identified are summarily indicated below:
objectives was not fully coherent with what is established in the existing MBO Policies and Regulations, not having precisely reflected the structure of objectives defined in those Policies, as well as not entirely prompt in order to guarantee the congruity between the Accrual Period and the timeframe for achieving the objectives and the final calculation.
• The management of the 2018 incentive system for the internal network was not regulated entirely comprehensively, in terms of defining the roles and responsibilities of the different structures involved in the process, prompt in its definition and dissemination to recipients and uniform between doBank and Italfondiario in the application of homogeneous periods of measurement of the objectives in the first part of the year.
In relation to the areas of attention identified, Management has defined a coherent plan of corrective interventions partly already begun as part of the preparation of this report on the implementation of the remuneration policies for 2018 as well as its submission for approval to the company bodies and to the Shareholders' Meeting.
