1.2 REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Remuneration Committee currently in office was appointed with the Board of Directors motion of April 27, 2021. The composition, appointment, duties and operating procedures of the Remuneration Committee are governed by the Corporate Governance Code and the Board of Directors and Committees Regulation, which were approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2021 (1), replacing the previous Committee Regulation originally approved by the Board of Directors on October 7, 2015.
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Committee comprises at least 3 (three) Non-Executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent. The Chairperson is selected from among the Independent Directors. Also in line with the Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Committee regulation stipulates that at least 1 (one) of its members should possess appropriate accounting, financial or remuneration policy knowledge and experience, as assessed by the Board of Directors on appointment.
In addition, pursuant to the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, if the Chairperson of the Board of Directors who is evaluated as independent participates in the Remuneration Committee: (i) a majority of the members of the Remuneration Committee are other Independent Directors; and (ii) he/she does not chair the Remuneration Committee.
(1) Board of Directors and Committees Regulation is available on the Company's website www.filagroup.it, under the Governance section.

At the date of the Report. the composition of the Remuneration Committee is as shown in the following table.
| DIRECTOR | DATE OF APPOINTMENT | COMPETENCES HELD |
|---|---|---|
| Carlo Paris (Chairperson) | April 27, 2021 | Independent Director with knowledge and skills in accounting, financial matters and remuneration policies. |
| Annalisa Barbera | April 27, 2021 | Non-Executive Director with knowledge and skills in accounting, financial matters and remuneration policies. |
| Giorgina Gallo | April 27, 2021 | Independent Director with knowledge and skills in accounting, financial matters and remuneration policies. |
On appointment, the Board of Directors positively assessed the knowledge and competence on financial matters and remuneration policies of all the members of the Committee.
The meetings of the Remuneration Committee are held as a collective and are appropriately minuted.
As indicated in Section I, Chapter 1, Paragraph 1.1, the Remuneration Committee is not the only entity involved in the preparation, approval and any revision of the Remuneration Policy. The plurality of parties involved, in addition to complying with regulatory requirements, ensures the most complete transparency of decision-making processes relating to the remuneration of Directors, Statutory Auditors and Senior Executives and guarantees that decisions on the matter are taken in a transparent, informed and timely manner by the boards responsible, which, through mutual control, avoid the emergence of conflicts of interest.
Similarly, in accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, no Director takes part in the meetings of the Remuneration Committee at which proposals are definitively made to the Board of Directors regarding his or her own remuneration.
On invitation, representatives of company departments and independent experts and/or other parties, whose participation is considered beneficial for the discussion of the matters at issue, may attend meetings of the Remuneration Committee. We note that during the Committee meetings held in 2021, the Executive Director (who also holds the position of Head of Human Resources) and the Chief Executive Officer were invited to attend some Committee meetings. The sole purpose of this was to present the Group's strategies and corporate vision with the aim of identifying and developing qualitative and quantitative targets and taking part in the discussion. Both Directors left the meeting before any motion was passed.
Where considered necessary and/or beneficial for the execution of its duties, the Remuneration Committee may use outside remuneration policy consultants, making use of the annual budget allocated by the Board of Directors.

For more information relating to the activities of the Remuneration Committee in 2021, reference should be made to the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report at December 31, 2021, available at the Company's registered office (via XXV Aprile No. 5, Pero), on the website (www.filagroup.it), in the Governance section and on the authorised storage mechanism eMarket Storage (), in accordance with law.

2. INDEPENDENT EXPERTS INVOLVED IN PREPARING THE REMUNERATION POLICY
In defining the Remuneration Policy described in this Report and to be proposed to the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee engaged the consultants Mercer, as independent experts, after verifying that absence of situations capable of compromising their independent judgement.
Specifically, in November and December 2021 Mercer (i) conducted a benchmark analysis on the remuneration packages of Executive Directors and Senior Executives; (ii) supported the Company in verifying the adequacy of the remuneration paid to Executive Directors and Senior Executives, taking into account the expertise, professionalism and commitment required by their positions; and (iii) assisted with the preparation of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan.
As regards the support provided to the Company for the analyses under (i) and (ii) above, Mercer conducted its activities based on the following data:
- (i) as regards the role of Chief Executive Officer, the data indicated (i) in the reports on the remuneration policy for 2021 and the remuneration paid in 2020; and (ii) in the annual financial reports, published in 2021 by companies belonging to a panel, identified by Mercer in agreement with the Committee, composed of a selection of listed companies, both Italian and foreign, with similar capitalisation, profitability and size to Fila and the Group (the "Chief Executive Officer Peer Group"). This panel includes (a) the following 11 Italian companies with shares listed on Euronext Milan: Amplifon S.p.A., Biesse S.p.A., Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A., De' Longhi S.p.A., Brembo S.p.A., Geox S.p.A., Piaggio & C S.p.A., Safilo Group S.p.A., Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., Technogym S.p.A. and Tod's S.p.A.; and (b) the following two foreign companies with shares listed on US regulated markets (NYSE and NYSE American respectively) and competitors of Fila: Acco Brands Corporation and Acme United Corporation; and
- (ii) with regards to the role of Executive Director, the data indicated in the Mercer remuneration survey referred to in the "Mercer Executive Remuneration Guide (Merg) 2021", conducted in the 11 main European markets, with particular regard to companies in the Retail & Wholesale and Consumer Goods sectors. This role was compared with roles of similar complexity, taking into due consideration the powers and responsibilities of the role of Executive Director of F.I.L.A. and, more precisely: (a) the number and list of management powers granted by the Board of Directors; (b) the scope of the Board's responsibilities; and (c) the control tasks assigned to it. This panel of Italian and foreign companies, identified by Mercer in agreement with the Committee, includes (a) the following seven Italian companies listed on Euronext Milan: Amplifon S.p.A., Danieli & C Officine Meccaniche S.p.A., De' Longhi S.p.A., Elica S.p.A., Intercos S.p.A., La Doria S.p.A. and Safilo Group S.p.A.; and (b) the following seven Italian companies not listed on regulated markets or multilateral trading facilities: FAAC S.p.A., Fater S.p.A., Ferrero S.p.A., Illycaffè S.p.A., Maserati S.p.A., Perfetti Van Melle S.p.A. and Zobele Holding S.p.A.; (c) the following Italian company listed on US regulated markets (NYSE): Stevanato Group S.p.A.; and (d) the following three foreign companies, active in Italy, listed on Euronext Milan: Ariston Thermo Holding N.V., Ferrari N.V. and Davide Campari - Milan N.V. (the "Executive Director Peer Group"); and

(iii) as regards Senior Executives, the data indicated in the Mercer remuneration survey referred to in the "Mercer Executive Remuneration Guide (Merg) 2021", conducted in the 11 main European markets. The aforementioned roles were compared with roles of similar complexity within their own geographical reference market, through application of the Mercer IPE (Mercer International Position Evaluation) methodology in consideration of the scope of management responsibilities and control tasks assigned to them.
The following is a brief description of the conclusions of the benchmark analysis prepared by Mercer.
Fila Chief Executive Officer remuneration package: "Fixed remuneration is between the market median (+9%) and the third quartile. If the introduction of the F.I.L.A. short-term variable incentive (TCT) is also taken into account, the competitiveness of the offer improves, placing the package in the third quartile (-2%). When taking into account the long-term variable incentive plan, the competitiveness of F.I.L.A.'s CEO compensation package declines and, therefore, the positioning of the overall offer is below the third quartile (-28%)". In addition, "taking into account only the 10 companies with variable pay components, fixed remuneration ranks between the median (+26%) and the third quartile. If the introduction of the F.I.L.A. short-term variable incentive (TCT) is also taken into account, the competitiveness of the offer worsens, placing the package on the median (+9%). When taking into account the long-term variable incentive plan, the competitiveness of the remuneration package of F.I.L.A.'s CEO decreases and, therefore, the positioning of the overall offer is below the median (-3%)".
Fila Executive Director remuneration package: "Fixed remuneration is below the market median (- 4% from the market median). If the introduction of the F.I.L.A. short-term variable incentive (TCT) is also taken into account, the competitiveness of the offer remains stable, positioning the remuneration package below the median (-5% from the median). When taking into account the longterm variable incentive plan, the competitiveness of the remuneration package of the Executive Director of F.I.L.A. increases slightly, positioning the overall offer above the market median (+6%)".
Fila Senior Executive remuneration package: "the average positioning of fixed remuneration of Senior Executives is in line with the market median; the average positioning of fixed remuneration + MBO significantly improves competitiveness lying between the median and the third quartile; the addition of the long-term incentive confirms the average positioning between the median and the third quartile"
3. REMUNERATION POLICY
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 current and future 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.
The Remuneration Policy contributes to the corporate strategy, the pursuit of long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company and the Group. It 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 rewarding the achievement of the individual and company performance targets on the basis of the Company's economic-financial growth indicators

and specific non-financial objectives (including those relating to "Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance - ESG").
The main purpose of the Remuneration Policy is to align the interests of the Company's management with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating sustainable value for Fila's shareholders and other stakeholders in the medium to long term. As such, the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee define the Remuneration Policy so as to ensure constant alignment between the shortand medium/long-term performance targets assigned to management and the main strategic drivers of the Company and the Group. These focus particularly on the pursuit of efficient business integration at the various Group companies, and the pursuit of a sustainable growth strategy in 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 carried out, in order to avoid conduct which does not serve the creation of sustainable value over the short and medium/long term, while providing that the variable component represents a significant part of the overall remuneration;
- (ii) definition of limits for the payment of variable components;
- (iii) determination of performance targets, to which the payment of variable components is linked, predetermined, measurable and linked in significant part to a long-term horizon. They must be consistent with the strategic objectives of the Company and/or the Group and are aimed at promoting its sustainable success, including, where relevant, non-financial parameters;
- (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 targets; and
- (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;
- (vi) provision of an adequate deferral period -with respect to the time of maturity for the payment of a significant part of the variable component, consistent with the underlying business activity and the related risk profiles.
The Company stipulates contractual conditions to 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 Article 5, Recommendation No. 27, letter e) of the Corporate Governance Code (clawback and malus clauses).


In line with the principles outlined above, on March 22, 2022 the Remuneration Committee put forward a proposal and the Board of Directors submitted this to the Shareholders' Meeting to approve the Company's individual financial statements for 2021, adopt the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan intended for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers, as a replacement for the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan, intended for the same categories of beneficiaries and which expired naturally on December 31, 2021. The beneficiaries of the first cycle of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan were duly identified on March 22, 2022 by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, subject to approval of the same new incentive plan by the Shareholders' Meeting. The adoption of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan 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. It also seeks to align the interests of senior management with those of the shareholders over the long term.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 5, Recommendation No. 28 of the Corporate Governance Code, the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan provides for a predominant portion of the plan to have an aggregate vesting period for the rights and retention of the shares granted to the beneficiaries thereof (referred to as the minimum holding) of at least five (5) years. Specifically, the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan requires beneficiaries to hold the shares granted at the end of each three-year vesting period (2022-2024/2023-2025/2024-2026) for 24 (twenty-four) months, net of any shares sold to meet tax obligations through the "sell to cover" method.
The 2022 Remuneration Policy is substantially consistent and in continuity with the structure of the 2021 Remuneration Policy. It confirms the previous objectives of harmonising the Remuneration Policy at the Group and individual level (for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers), while specifically retaining distinctive characteristics aimed at enhancing strategic skills and ensuring the retention of key resources.
The Remuneration Policy remains in force for 1 (one) year and therefore until December 31, 2022. It provides for:
- (a) a 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers, with a single timeframe for all beneficiaries and aligned with the objectives of the Group's business plan, in continuity with the preceding 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan. In addition, the process of granting beneficiaries rights to receive shares on a rolling basis (rather than on a one-time basis as under the previous 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan) is intended to mitigate the effects of any circumstances that were extraordinary or unforeseeable at the time of adopting the 2022-2026 PSP;
- (b) a balance between the fixed and variable component, as well as adequate weighting between the short-term and long-term variable components;

- (c) indication of performance targets, to which the disbursement of the variable components is linked, quantitative (of an economic-financial nature) and qualitative (of a non-financial nature, including with regard to "Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance - ESG"), measurable, consistent with the strategic objectives of the Company and/or the Group and aimed at promoting the sustainable success of the Company;
- (d) adoption of performance and payout curves applicable to variable remuneration linked to short-term and long-term quantitative targets - adequately incentivising and uniform for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers;
- (e) a restriction on the payment of the short-term variable component linked to qualitative targets, which provides for a bonus reduction in connection with the partial or total failure to achieve specific quantitative targets;
- (f) the fixing of the exchange rate to the budget, to be used for the consolidation of economic and financial targets applicable to the variable remuneration linked to the achievement of both short-term and long-term targets;
- (g) uniform application of clawback and malus clauses for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers;
The Remuneration Policy is largely a continuation of the 2021 Remuneration Policy. The main new elements with respect to the 2021 Remuneration Policy consist of (i) the redetermination of the fixed remuneration attributed to Executive Directors; (ii) the identification of new targets for attributing the short-term qualitative variable component of Executive Directors; and (iii) the proposed adoption of the new 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, intended for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers, in replacement of the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan, intended for the same categories of beneficiaries and expiring on December 31, 2021.
In the preparation of the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors has considered the compensation and working conditions of employees. In particular, we note that (i) Fila's employees are subject to the sector's national collective bargaining agreements and the industrial managers contract; (ii) Fila constantly monitors the level of remuneration provided for the employees of the Company and of the main Group companies in order to guarantee an effective attraction and retention policy; (iii) within the framework of the short and long-term incentive plans (including the 2022-2026 PPS), it is envisaged that the beneficiaries include not only the Executive Directors and Senior Executives, but also employees of the Company and of the Group with managerial functions and relevant for the growth and sustainability of the Group's business (the so-called Senior Managers); (iv) a significant part of the employees of the Company and of the main subsidiaries of the Group are included in the short-term incentive plans according to performance indicators similar to those used for the assessment of the Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers.
The Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee, in defining the Remuneration Policy, have taken into account the guidelines expressed by the shareholders during the Shareholders' Meeting vote on Section I of the 2021 remuneration policy and 2020 report (favourable votes equal to 96.572% and 95.882% respectively of the total voting rights represented at the Shareholders' Meeting), which confirmed significant shareholder approval of the structure, principles and remuneration levels provided for therein and which, therefore, remain unchanged.

3.2 OUTLINE OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
This section contains the description of the Remuneration Policy defined by the Company, with specific reference to the following managers:
- (i) members of the Board of Directors, divided into:
- a. Non-Executive Directors;
- b. Executive Directors;
- (ii) members of the Board of Statutory Auditors;
- (iii) Senior Executives;
- (iv) Senior Managers;
- (v) Honorary Chairperson.
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) Members of the Board of Directors
The remuneration of members of the Board 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 addition to the remuneration of the Directors as members of the Board of Directors, their total remuneration consists of the compensation received for participation in the internal Board Committees. This additional fee is paid as a fixed amount and is proportionate to the commitment required by each member; for this reason, it is proportionate according to the position held by the Directors within these committees, i.e. whether they take part in them as Chairperson - who is entrusted with significant commitment and organisational duties - or as simple member.
Following the renewal of the administrative body by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021, the Board of Directors held a meeting on May 14, 2021. On the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and subject to the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors pursuant to Article 2389 of the Civil Code, the Board of Directors passed a motion to pay the following additional fees for participation of the Company's Directors in the internal committees: (a) Euro 20,000.00 gross per annum for the Chairperson of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and Euro 7,500.00 gross per annum for each member of the aforesaid Committee (excluding the Chairperson); (b) Euro 12,000.00 gross per annum for the Chairperson of the Remuneration Committee and Euro 6,000.00 gross per annum for each member of the aforesaid Committee (excluding the Chairperson). The additional fees for the participation of the Company's Directors in internal committees have been revised compared to those paid in the previous term of office, in order to allow for a partial realignment to the outcome of the benchmark analyses conducted by Mercer in March 2020 on the

remuneration packages of the members of the internal committees (for further information on these please refer to Section I, Chapter 2, of the report on the remuneration policy of the Company and the Group for 2021 and on the fees paid in 2020, available on the Company's website at www.filagroup.it, under the Governance section).
a. Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors (whether Independent Directors or not) receive remuneration established by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 2389 of the Civil Code, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred.
The Chairperson of the Board of Directors is recognised a remuneration established by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 2389 of the Civil Code, the reimbursement of expenses incurred, and is granted a fringe benefit consisting of the provision of a company car for mixed use.
During the renewal of the administrative body, the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021 resolved, on the proposal of the shareholders, to grant the Board of Directors a total gross annual remuneration of Euro 270,000.
Following the renewal of the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021, the Board of Directors, at its meeting of April 27, 2021, therefore decided to allocate this compensation among the members of the Board of Directors as follows: (i) Euro 120,000 gross annually to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and (ii) Euro 25,000 gross annually for each director (excluding the Chairperson of the Board of Directors).
The remuneration of Fila's Non-Executive Directors has been revised with respect to that paid in the previous term, in order to allow for a partial realignment to the outcome of the benchmark analyses conducted by Mercer in March 2020 on the remuneration packages of Non-Executive Directors (for more information on these please refer to Section I, Chapter 2, of the report on the remuneration policy of the Company and the Group for 2021 and on the remuneration paid in 2020, available on the Company's website at www.filagroup.it, under the Governance section).
The remuneration paid to these Directors is not based on any financial results or specific targets of the Company.
b. Executive Directors
The remuneration of Executive Directors is adequately balanced in order to contribute effectively to the Company's strategy, the pursuit of long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company.
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 nonachievement of the financial and non-financial performance targets upon which the variable remuneration component is based, and therefore - among other issues - discourages 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 achieving the annual targets, in order to maximise the value of the Group, in line with the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. This component is achieved against, and proportionally to, the achievement of the annual financial and non-financial performance targets established by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors. 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 and other stakeholders, within a medium/long term and sustainability framework. This remuneration will be paid on a deferred basis, at the end of 3 (three) different three-year vesting periods and will be subject to a minimum holding period of 24 (twenty-four) months;
- fringe benefit: provide for the provisions of goods and/or services in line with market practice and applicable regulations.
For a description of the fixed component and the short-term variable component for Executive Directors, reference should be made to Section I, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3.3 (i) of this Report.
For a description of the medium/long-term component for Executive Directors, to be granted in execution of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, reference should be made Section I, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3 3.4 of this Report.
A description of the fringe benefits attributed to Executive Directors can be found in Section I, Chapter 4.
(ii) Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors
The standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are paid a fixed compensation determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2402 of the Civil Code, and are reimbursed for expenses incurred in the execution of their office.
The remuneration of the Statutory Auditors and the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors is at all times commensurate with the professionalism and commitment required, the importance of the role covered, and to the size and sector of the Company.

The Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2021, on the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors, approved a gross annual remuneration for each Statutory Auditor of Euro 30,000.00 and of Euro 40,000.00 for the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
(iii) 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 targets 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 nonachievement of the financial and non-financial performance targets 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 for 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 benefits: 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 of the short-term variable component for Senior Executives, reference should be made to Section I, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3.3 (ii) of the Report.
For a description of the medium/long-term component for Senior Executives, to be granted in execution of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, reference should be made Section I, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3 3.4 of this Report.
(iv) 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 targets 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 nonachievement of the performance targets 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 benefits: 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, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3.3 (ii) of this Report.
A description of the medium-long term variable component for Senior Managers, to be allocated as part of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, can be found in Section I, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3.4 of this Report.
(v) Honorary Chairperson
The Honorary Chairperson receives an annual remuneration set by the Board of Directors, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred.
On February 11, 2022, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and subject to the nonbinding favourable opinion of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee, the Board of Directors resolved to grant the Honorary Chairperson a gross annual remuneration of Euro 190,0002 for 2022.
3.3 LINK BETWEEN FIXED AND VARIABLE COMPONENTS OF REMUNERATION
(i) Executive Directors
Chief Executive Officer Massimo Candela
The gross annual overall remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is established as follows.
| MEMBER | DESCRIPTION OF THE GROUP TARGETS AND APPLICABLE CLAUSES |
|---|---|
| Fixed component | Annual fixed component (the CEO Annual Fixed Component) |
| Short-term variable component | Short-term variable component of a base amount equal to 50% of the CEO Annual Fixed Component and of a maximum amount equal to 85% of the CEO Annual Fixed Component (the CEO Short-term Variable Component) linked to the achievement of the quantitative targets and qualitative targets described below. |
2 On March 22, 2022, the Board of Directors was informed that the Honorary Chairperson waived the increase of Euro 20,000.


| - | Quantitative targets: 70% of the CEO Short-term Variable Component is issuable on the meeting of the EBITDA and NFP targets established by the annual consolidated budget of the Group approved by the Board of Directors. Specifically: |
|---|---|
| (i) 70% linked to the achievement of the consolidated EBITDA targets on the basis of a performance scale with a variable range from a minimum -10% to a maximum of +10% (with a corresponding short term variable remuneration respectively from 4.90% to 49.00% of the CEO 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 |
|
| (ii) 30% linked to the achievement of the consolidated NFP targets 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 CEO Annual Fixed Component). Within this range, the amount of the variable component linked to NFP will be based according to the pre set brackets. |
|
| The pay-out curve is set between a minimum of 20% of the target bonus linked to EBITDA and NFP, where the final balance of quantitative targets is higher than the minimum threshold of 90% envisaged by the performance scale, and a maximum of 200% of the target bonus linked to EBITDA and NFP, where the final balance of quantitative targets is equal to or higher than the maximum threshold of 110% envisaged by the performance scale. |
|
| - | Qualitative targets: 30% of the CEO Short-term Variable Component (the CEO Qualitative Component) is issuable subject to the achievement of the following qualitative target (defined for 2022): |
| (i) definition of a contingency succession plan for Executive Directors and SEs (relative weighting 50%); |
|
| (ii) definition of a Group strategic training plan, also including topics in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) area, including implementation guidelines (relative weighting 50%) |
|
| (collectively, the Short-term CEO Qualitative Targets). | |
| With reference to the pay-out curve, it is envisaged that: | |
| • where the minimum of one of the two quantitative targets is not achieved, the target bonus linked to qualitative targets is reduced by 50%; |
|
| • where the minimum of both quantitative targets is not achieved, the target bonus linked to qualitative targets is reduced by 75%; |
|
| - | Allocation: following approval of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, with the passing of a Board of Directors' motion, having consulted the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors. |
| The Chief Executive Officer, in advance of the date set for the approval of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, should present to the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors a report on the state of implementation of the activities whose completion constitutes a condition for the issue of the CEO Qualitative Component. On the basis of this report, the Board of Directors, having consulted the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, will verify the achievement of the Short term CEO Qualitative Targets, deciding upon the allocation of the CEO Qualitative Component. |
|
| - | Clawback clause: obligation for the repayment to the Company of the variable remuneration components in the case of material violation of company or legal rules, or harmful or seriously damaging conduct such as to alter the data utilised for the achievement of the targets. |

| Medium-/long-term variable component |
With reference to the medium/long-term variable component, the Company's Remuneration Policy provides that the Chief Executive Officer is a beneficiary of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan.3 |
|---|---|
| Therefore, the medium/long-term variable component of a maximum amount aggregated over a three-year period, equal to approx. 150%4 of the CEO Annual Fixed Component (the "CEO Medium/Long-term Variable Component"), is linked to achieving the quantitative targets and the qualitative targets described in the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, with specific reference to the Chief Executive Officer and as reported below. |
|
| - Quantitative target: 70% of shares will be allocated on the achievement of the Group's average ROI for each three-year vesting period (2022-2024, 2023-2025, 2024-2026) as per the Group's business plan. Specifically: |
|
| (i) where the performance is below 90.00% of the target, no shares relating to the quantitative target shall be allocated; |
|
| (ii) where the performance is between 90.00% and 92.50% - lower range included - of the target, 20% of the shares in relation to the quantitative target shall be allocated; |
|
| (iii) where the performance is between 92.50% and 95.00% - lower range included - of the target, 40% of the shares in relation to the quantitative target shall be allocated; |

|
| (vii) where the performance is between 100.50% and 102.50% - lower range included - of the target, 120% of the shares in relation to the quantitative target shall be allocated; |
|
| (viii) where the performance is between 102.50% and 105.00% - lower range included - of the target, 140% of the shares in relation to the quantitative target shall be allocated; |

|
| (x) where the performance is between 107.50% and 110.00% - lower range included - of the target, 180% of the shares in relation to the quantitative target shall be allocated; |
|
| (xi) where the performance is equal to or above 110% of the target, 200% of the shares in relation to the quantitative target shall be allocated. |
|
| Qualitative target: 30% of the Variable Medium-Long Term CEO Component (the "CEO Medium/Long-term Qualitative Variable Component") payable on condition that in the three-year vesting period at least 80% of the targets set out for the vesting period in the Sustainability Plan are implemented (the "Medium/Long-term Term CEO Target"). |
|
| - Allocation: after approval of the consolidated financial statements for the last financial year of each three-year vesting period (i.e., consolidated |

On the basis of this report, the Board of Directors, having consulted the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, will verify the achievement of the CEO Medium/Long-term Qualitative Targets, deciding upon the allocation of the CEO Medium/Long-term Qualitative Variable Component. |
| - Clawback clause: the Company reserves the unilateral right to obtain the return of the shares received by the Chief Executive Officer in the event of a violation of company or legal regulations or wilful or grossly negligent conduct designed to alter the data used to measure achievement of the targets. |
| - Holding period: the Chief Executive Officer is required to hold for 24 (twenty-four) months all the shares allocated (net of any shares sold in order to comply with tax obligations through the "sell to cover" method). |

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 business plan), normalising (i) in the calculation of the NFP also non-recurring charges incurred during the year 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 targets of this component of the Executive Directors as well as the Senior Executives and Senior Managers.
The fixing of the exchange rate to the budget is also envisaged, to be used for the consolidation of economic and financial targets applicable to the variable remuneration linked to the achievement of both short-term and long-term targets
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 targets 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.

The 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan was implemented in order to:
- link remuneration with the medium/long-term enterprise performance, in order to further align managerial strategy with the interests of the shareholders, ensuring conduct orientated towards sustainable success and the achievement of the industrial and business objectives defined;
- reward the achievement of the Group's business plan targets for each three-year vesting period;

In 2021, compensation was paid pursuant to the principles, goals and objectives set out in the 2021 Remuneration Policy.
Specifically, remuneration was allocated in such a way as to ensure an overall remuneration structure in line with the needs of the Company and the Group, also in the light of the uncertainties linked to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the countries in which the Group operates.
Moreover, the allocation of remuneration pursues the long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company and the Group's business and performance, as outlined in the Remuneration Policy 2021. It responds positively to the need to attract, retain and motivate staff with high professionalism, and focuses particular attention on positions considered key to the development and management of the business, enhancing the performance achieved and recognising the quality and effectiveness of the individual contribution.
Similarly, the objectives of aligning the interests of the Company's management with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating sustainable value for Fila's shareholders and other stakeholders in the medium-long term, through a weighted compensation determination process, are considered to have been achieved, with particular reference to (i) the deployment of the Group's integrated strategic plan for the period 2021-2025 and the Group's sustainability plan for the period 2021-2025 approved by the Board of Directors; (ii) the holding of meetings of the Sustainability Management Committee and the attribution of sustainability responsibilities to the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee; (iii) the adoption of a Shareholder Communication Policy; (iv) the overall review of the Group's policies; (v) the implementation of the enterprise resource planning management system (SAP) at certain Group companies, the adaptation of the Group's IT infrastructure and the review of the Group's software systems; (vi) the constant monitoring of compliance with the Group's cash generation targets; and (vii) the constant monitoring of the performance of the Group's sustainability indices and the preparation of the Group's Non-Financial Statement with the characteristics of the sustainability report.

As regards the Board of Directors in office until April 27, 2021 (date of the Shareholders' Meeting to approve Fila's individual financial statements for 2021), we note that the Board of Directors of April 27, 2018 had resolved to allocate the total amount of Euro 230,000.00 per year, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2018 for the entire term of office (i.e., until the approval of the 2021 financial statements), as follows: (i) allocation of gross annual remuneration of Euro 15,000.00 for each Director (excluding the Chairperson of the Board of

ANNEX A
Actual EBITDA, Actual NFP, Operating Income and Net Capital Employed will be normalised using precise formulas that will provide for the economic and financial elements to be considered and excluded from the normalisation scope, including the effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16 and those of current and non-current financial instruments (MTM).
More specifically, the Actual EBITDA, Actual NFP, Operating Income and Net Capital Employed will be calculated using with the items reported 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 Business 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.
