The Remuneration Policy, while substantially consistent and in continuity with the structure of the remuneration policy presented to the company Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2018 and applied in 2018, envisages a harmonisation of the remuneration policy at the Group and individual level (that is, for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers) however, specifically retaining distinctive characteristics aimed at enhancing strategic skills and ensuring the retention of key resources.

In preparing the Remuneration Policy described in this Report, the company availed itself of the consultants Mercer Italia S.r.l., as independent experts, and used the remuneration policies of other listed companies with comparable characteristics to those of Fila and the Group as a reference.
This Report is made available to the public by the twentieth day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting of the company called for the approval of the 2018 financial statements and which,
furthermore, shall be called to express itself, with a non-binding motion, on Section I of this Report, in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, at the registered office of the company (via XXV Aprile No. 5, Pero), on the company website (www.filagroup.it), in the "Governance" section and on the authorised storage mechanism "eMarket Storage" ().

1.2 INDEPENDENT SPECIALISTS INVOLVED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY

(i) conducted a benchmark analysis on the remuneration packages of Executive Directors, using a peer group composed of a selection of Italian and foreign listed companies having comparable characteristics to those of Fila and the Group, as well as the "Mercer Executive Remuneration Guide" and (ii) assisted the company in the preparation of the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan and in the definition of the terms and conditions for the early termination of the 2017- 2019 Performance Shares Plan.
1.3 REMUNERATION POLICY
1.3.1 AIMS AND PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
The Remuneration Policy is drawn up so as to ensure an overall remuneration structure in line with the renewed requirements of the company and the Group and which recognises the managerial value of the beneficiaries and the contribution provided to the growth of the company in terms of their respective competences.
This policy seeks to attract, maintain and motivate individuals of high professional standing, with particular regard to key positions for the development and management of the business, in addition to awarding the achievement of the individual and company performance objectives on the basis of the company economic-financial growth indicators and as a principal aim seeks to align the interests of the management of the Company with the achievement of the core objective of the creation of value for the shareholders of Fila over the medium/long-term.
The Remuneration Policy, in line with the general objectives outlined above, is based on the following key principles and is defined according to the following criteria:
- (i) appropriate balance between the fixed and variable components according to the strategic objectives and the risk management policy of the Company, taking account of the sector in which the Group operates and the operations executed, in order to avoid conduct which does not serve the creation of sustainable value over the short and medium/long-term period;
- (ii) setting of limits for the variable components;
- (iii) pre-setting and measurability of the performance objectives for the issue of the variable components;
- (iv) creation of a direct link between remuneration and performance, through mechanisms which provide for the issue of differing levels of bonuses linked to the partial or total achievement of the objectives;
- (v) establishment of overall remuneration levels which recognise the professional value of individuals and their contribution to the creation of sustainable value over the short and medium/long-term period.
The company may stipulate contractual conditions which would allow for the restitution, in full or in part, of the variable remuneration components paid (or withhold any sums subject to deferred payment), on the basis of data which is subsequently clearly erroneous in accordance with Application Criterion 6.C.1, letter f) of the Self-Governance Code (so-called claw-back).
In line with the principles outlined above, the Board of Directors, with the prior favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, proposed to the Shareholders' Meeting of the company called to approved the 2018 financial statements, the early termination of the 2017-2019 Performance Shares Plan - no longer considered suitable to ensure the optimal pursuit of the above-mentioned goals - and the adoption, in substitution, of the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers who, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, were identified by the company Board of Directors on March 15, 2019. This measure aims to boost the company's attractiveness with reference to external parties, as well as to encourage the retention and incentivisation of those directors, employees or collaborators considered significant for the Group, enhancing the value of the company and of the Group and the dissemination of a value creation culture in all strategic and operating decisions.
In accordance with the provisions of Application Criterion 6.C.2 letter c) of the Self-Governance Code, the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan includes a holding obligation, for a certain period of time, of the shares assigned to the beneficiaries (so-called minimum holding).
The Remuneration Policy, while substantially consistent and in continuity with the structure of the remuneration policy presented to the Shareholders' Meeting of the company of April 27, 2018 and applied in 2018, envisages a harmonisation of the remuneration policy at the Group and individual level (that is, for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Management) however, specifically retaining distinctive characteristics aimed at enhancing strategic skills and ensuring the retention of key resources. In particular, the principal new elements with respect to the remuneration policy for 2019 are as follows:
- the early termination of the 2017-2019 Performance Shares Plan and its substitution with the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers, with a single timeframe for all beneficiaries and aligned to the objectives of the Group's industrial plan. Consequently, Executive Directors shall be the beneficiaries of a longterm share-based incentive plan in substitution of a long-term monetary incentive plan which ended on its normal conclusion (December 31, 2018);
- the rebalancing of the fixed and variable component, as well as a new weighting between the short-term and long-term variable remuneration component, to be implemented through: (a) an increase in the fixed component and the long-term variable component, as well as a decrease in the short-term variable remuneration component of Executive Directors and (b) some variations, in specific individual cases, of the fixed and short-term variable component of Senior Executives and Senior Managers in order to harmonise the structures of remuneration packages of Senior Executives and Senior Managers in the various international companies;
- the adoption of performance and pay-out curves applicable to variable remuneration linked to short-term and long-term quantitative objectives - better incentivised and uniform for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Management;
- the inclusion of a restriction in the payment of the short-term and long-term variable component linked to qualitative objectives, which provides for a bonus reduction in connection with the partial or total failure to achieve specific quantitative objectives;
- the fixing of the exchange rate to the budget, to be used for the consolidation of economic and financial objectives applicable to the variable remuneration linked to the achievement of both short-term and long-term objectives; and
- the standardisation of claw-back provisions for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers.
1.3.2 REMUNERATION POLICY
This section contains the description of the Remuneration Policy defined by the company, with specific reference to the following managers:
- (i) directors, and more specifically
- a. non-executive directors; and
- b. Executive Directors;
- (ii) Senior Executives;
- (iii) Senior Managers;
- (iv) Honorary Chairman.
Notwithstanding the above-mentioned harmonisation of the remuneration structure at the Group and the individual managerial level, the company considers it appropriate to retain some differences in the calculation of the individual remuneration components, to better adjust them to the level of executive/managerial skills and responsibility recognised to the persons concerned.
(i) DIRECTORS
The remuneration of directors seeks to attract and motivate the best professional talent for the exercise of their duties and the achievement of the goals of the Remuneration Policy.
All directors receive a fixed remuneration which appropriately compensates the work and commitment provided by the Directors to the company.
In the meeting of May 15, 2018, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and with the prior favourable opinion of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, established the following additional remuneration for the participation of company directors on Board Committees: (a) Euro 37,000.00 gross annual remuneration for the Chairman of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee; (b) Euro 12,000.00 gross annual remuneration for the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and, finally, (c) Euro 6,000.00 gross annual remuneration for each member of these Committees (excluding Chairpersons).
a. Non-Executive Directors
Non-executive directors (whether independent directors or not) are recognised a remuneration established by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company in accordance with Article 2389 of the Civil Code, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors is recognised a remuneration established by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company in accordance with Article 2389 of the Civil Code, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred.
The remuneration paid to these directors is not based on any financial results or specific objectives of the company.
b. Executive Directors
The remuneration of Executive Directors is adequately calibrated to ensure the correct balance between development objectives in the short term and sustainable creation of value for shareholders over the medium/long-term period.
In particular, the remuneration of the Executive Directors comprises:
• a fixed component: this component takes account of the extent and strategic importance of the role, its subjective distinctive characteristics and the strategic skills of the managers assigned to the role. The amount is sufficient to remunerate the service also in the case of the non-reaching of the performance objectives upon which the variable remuneration component is based, and therefore - among other issues - discourages the undertaking of conduct not consistent with the risk propensity of the company. In particular, the fixed component is based on the size of the business managed and the capacity for contribution to the consolidated results of the Group;
- a short-term variable component: this component seeks to incentivise Executive Directors to work towards reaching the annual objectives, in order to maximise the value of the Group, in line with the interests of shareholders. This component is achieved against, and proportionally to, the reaching of the annual performance objectives established by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee. In any case, this component is balanced - in comparison to others - to avoid short-term or opportunistic policies, favouring therefore medium/long-term strategies, in the interest of the stakeholders and the sustainability of the business;
- a medium/long-term variable component: this component seeks to incentivise Executive Directors to maximise the value of the Group and to align the interests of these directors with those of the shareholders, within a medium/long term framework. The payment of this remuneration will be deferred to the conclusion of a three-year timeframe;
- fringe benefit: provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations.
For a description on the short-term variable component and the medium/long-term component of Executive Directors, reference should be made Section I, ParagraphErrore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.(i) and 1.3.4 of this Report.
(ii) SENIOR EXECUTIVES
The remuneration of Senior Executives aims to concentrate greater management focus on the longterm results of the company and on the creation of value.
The company therefore adopted a policy to achieve these objectives also through the implementation of a variable remuneration system, with a strong attraction and retention function, in line with the need for growth and internal development within the Company and the Group.
The remuneration of Senior Executives is composed of:
- a fixed component: the amount is sufficient to remunerate the service also in the case of the nonreaching of the performance objectives upon which the variable remuneration component is based, and therefore - among other issues - encourages the undertaking of conduct in line with the strategy of the company. The fixed component of Senior Executives, harmonised in the different international companies, in any case, remains commensurate at the individual level with: (a) each executive's responsibility and level of contribution to the business and (b) the individual strategic skills;
- a short-term variable component;
- a medium/long-term variable component;
• fringe benefit: fringe benefits provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations in force in the individual states.
For a description on the short-term variable component of Senior Executives, reference should be made to Section I, Paragraph Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. (ii) of this Report.
For a description on the medium/long-term variable component of Senior Executives, represented by the new long-term share-based incentive plan for the 2019-2021 three-year period, reference should be made to Section I, Paragraph Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. (ii) and 1.3.4 of this Report.
(i) SENIOR MANAGERS
The Senior Managers remuneration policy is based on the position and responsibilities held in the Group in order to achieve sustainable earnings and the creation of medium/long term value for the shareholders.
The company therefore adopted a policy to achieve these objectives also through the implementation of a variable remuneration system, with a strong attraction and retention function, in line with the need for growth and internal development within the Company and the Group.
The remuneration of Senior Managers is composed of:
- a fixed component: the amount is sufficient to remunerate the service also in the case of the nonreaching of the performance objectives upon which the variable remuneration component is based, and therefore - among other issues - encourages the undertaking of conduct in line with the strategy of the company. The fixed component of Senior Managers, under harmonisation in the different international companies, in any case, remains commensurate at the individual level with: (a) the responsibility and the level of contribution to the business by each and (b) the individual strategic skills;
- a short-term variable component;
- a medium/long-term variable component:
- fringe benefit: fringe benefits provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations in force in the individual states.
For a description on the short-term variable component of Senior Managers, reference should be made to Section I, Paragraph Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata. (ii) of this Report.
For a description on the medium/long-term variable component of Senior Managers, represented by the new long-term share-based incentive plan for the 2019-2021 three-year period, reference should be made to Section 1, Paragraph Errore.

Common application provisions
The criteria for the normalisation of EBITDA and the NFP are described at Annex A of the present Report. The calculation of the EBITDA and the NFP will be based on a like-for-like consolidation scope (without including therefore the EBITDA and NFP of the companies acquired and/or disposed of and/or merged and/or incorporated and not considered in the Group Industrial Plan), normalising (i) in the calculation of the NFP also the acquisition costs and (ii) in the calculation of the EBITDA the value of the bonus, both in the budget and actual figures, for the verification of the achievement of the quantitative objectives of this component of the Executive Directors as well as the Senior Executives and Senior Management.
The fixing of the exchange rate to the budget is also envisaged, to be used for the consolidation of economic and financial objectives applicable to the variable remuneration linked to the achievement of both short-term and long-term objectives
Where one or more of the Relevant Events occurs, the Board of Directors - also on the proposal on the Remuneration Committee - shall make the amendments and supplementations considered necessary and appropriate to neutralise the effects of the Relevant Events to the objectives and/or governance of the remuneration plans of the executive directors, and maintain therefore as far as possible the substantial content of the plan and the concrete opportunity to achieve the bonuses therein unchanged.
(ii) SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND SENIOR MANAGERS
The variable remuneration of Senior Executives and Senior Managers is composed of a short-term variable component and a medium/long term variable component, as detailed below.
Senior Executives and Senior Managers - Short-term variable component
The short-term variable component of Senior Executives and Senior Managers depends on the level of contribution to the company's consolidated results by the companies included in the scope of reference and/or by the level of challenges managed in relation to the relevant business area or the Group in general.
On this basis, for the purposes of calculating the short-term variable component, Senior Executives and Senior Managers are divided into responsibility functions as follows:
- Country CEO SE;
- Other SE;
- Country CEO SM;
- Other SM.
The principles and procedures for the establishment of the short-term variable component of Senior Executives is shown below.

Within this range, the amount of the variable component linked to EBITDA will be based according to the pre-set brackets; and 30% linked to the reaching of the NFP o objectives on the basis of a performance scale with a variable range from a minimum of -10% to a maximum of Euro +10% (corresponding to the issue of a variable remuneration respectively from 2.10% to 21.00% of the Annual Fixed Component). Within this range, the amount of the variable component linked to NFP will be based according to the pre-set brackets. |
50% of the Other SE Short-term Variable Component is issuable on the meeting of the EBITDA and NFP objectives established by the regions and/or of the local entity annual budget or of the Group. In particular: o 70% linked to the reaching of the EBITDA objectives on the basis of a performance scale with a variable range from a minimum -10% to a maximum of +10% (corresponding to the issue of a short-term variable remuneration respectively from 2.45% to 35.00% of the Annual Fixed Component). Within this range, the amount of the variable component linked to EBITDA will be based according to the pre-set brackets; and 30% linked to the reaching of the NFP o objectives on the basis of a performance scale with a variable range from a minimum of -10% to a maximum of Euro +10% (corresponding to the issue of a variable remuneration respectively from 1.05% to 15.00% of the Annual Fixed Component). Within this range, the amount of the variable component linked to NFP will be based according to the pre-set brackets. |

Senior Executives and Senior Managers- Medium/long term variable component
The Remuneration Policy of the company provides that the medium/long-term variable component for Senior Executives and Senior Managers is established in accordance with the objectives and principles outlined in the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan.
For more information on the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan, reference should be made to the following Paragraph.
1.3.4 2019-2021 PERFORMANCE SHARES PLAN
The 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on March 15, 2019, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee which met on the same date, and shall be submitted for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company called for the approval of the Fila financial statements for the year 2018.
This represents a medium/long-term incentive system based on the free assignment of company shares and subject to the achievement of specific performance objectives, in addition to continued employment with the Group. In particular, except as described below, the free assignment of shares is linked (i) partly to the achievement of industrial performance objectives which shall be calculated for all beneficiaries of the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan with reference to the scope of the Fila Group, and (ii) partly to the achievement of certain individual or organisational strategic objectives, which shall be defined specifically for each beneficiary of the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan by reason of the role and position held.
Four Senior Executives and two Senior Managers operating in North America are the exception, in particular: (i) the quantitative component, linked to the achievement of industrial performance objectives, shall be calculated by only taking the scope of North America into account (Canada and the United States) and (ii) the qualitative component shall only be linked to continued employment in the Group, there being no individual or organisational strategic objectives planned for them.

ATTACHMENT A
The Actual EBITDA and the Actual NFP are normalised through precise formulae which take into account the economic and financial elements to be considered and to be excluded from the normalisation scope.
More specifically, the Actual EBITDA and the Actual NFP are calculated beginning with the reported EBITDA/NFP as per the consolidated financial statements and normalised through neutralisation of all costs/charges and revenue/income (and relative financial movements) outside of the ordinary operations of the company and not envisaged in the Group Industrial Plan (both conditions should be present).
For example: extra direct and indirect costs concerning goodwill, the transfer and closure of commercial or industrial operations; restructuring charges for the portion not capitalised, such as for example, leaving and mobility incentives, bonuses; consultancy charges incurred by the companies of the Group in relation to market research, regulatory adjustments, the acquisition of new companies, the listing of securities of the Company on regulated markets and any other extraordinary corporate operations; commissions and consultancy charges concerning financing operations or the issue of debt securities deriving from changes to the accounting standards during the year; indemnities, penalties, bonuses or similar cash amounts received or recognised as compensation in relation to any disputes concerning non-recurring events.
