INTRODUCTION

The Report is divided into two sections:

  • Section I (submitted to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting) explains clearly and comprehensibly:
    • (a) the Company and Group policy for 2023 concerning remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Senior Executives, and, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2402 of the Civil Code, of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors;
    • (b) the boards involved and the procedures used for the preparation, approval and possible revision of the Remuneration Policy, as well as the duration thereof.
  • Section II (submitted to the non-binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting) illustrates clearly and comprehensibly, by name for the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors and in total for Senior Executives:
    • (a) each of the items which comprise remuneration, including benefits on conclusion of office, highlighting compliance with the Company's Remuneration Policy for 2022; and
    • (b) the compensation paid by the Company, its subsidiaries or associated companies for any reason and in any form during the year, indicating any components of the aforementioned compensation that refer to work carried out in financial years prior to 2022. It also highlights the compensation to be paid in one or more subsequent years for work carried out during 2022, indicating where necessary an estimated value for components that cannot be objectively quantified in 2022.

Pursuant to Article 84-quater, paragraph 4 of the Issuers' Regulation, the Report also contains an indication of the equity investments held by the members of the Board of Directors, the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and Senior Executives.

The Report was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 22, 2023, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee. It was prepared in compliance with current and applicable legislation and, specifically, with Article 123-ter of the CFA and with Article 84-quater and Annex 7 bis of the Issuers' Regulation.

The Remuneration Policy, described in Section I of the Report, was defined in line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, with which the Company complies, and was also adopted by the Company in accordance with the Consob RPT Regulation and the RPT Policy.

The Remuneration Policy, which substantially expands on the 2022 Remuneration Policy, includes the following major new elements:

(a) new qualitative targets for short-term variable remuneration for Executive Directors;

  • (b) a partially different split of the SEs for the purpose of determining the short-term variable component; and
  • (c) launch of the second cycle (i.e. 2023-2025) of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, resulting in the identification of relevant beneficiaries and qualitative and quantitative targets.

This Report is made available to the public by the 21st (twenty-first) day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of the 2022 Annual Accounts and which, furthermore, shall be called to express itself, with a binding motion, on Section I of this Report, and with a nonbinding motion on Section II of the same. In accordance with the provisions of applicable law, it will be made available at the registered office of the Company (via XXV Aprile No. 5, Pero), on the Company's website (www.filagroup.it), in the "Governance" section, and on the authorised storage mechanism eMarket Storage ().

The Independent Audit Firm verifies that the Directors provide Section II of the Report.

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 ).

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 One, 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 2022, 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 2022, reference should be made to the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report at December 31, 2022, 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.

In the period between May 2022 and March 2023, the Remuneration Committee:

  • (i) made its assessments of the adequacy, consistency and concrete application of 2022 Remuneration Policy;
  • (ii) defined the Remuneration Policy described in this Report;
  • (iii) prepared this Report;
  • (iv) verified the achievement of the annual performance targets (qualitative and quantitative) for the year 2022 with regard to the short-term variable remuneration of the Executive Directors, set out in the 2022 Remuneration Policy;
  • (v) presented proposals to the Board of Directors for the fixed and variable remuneration component of the Executive Directors for the year 2023; and
  • (vi) formulated proposals to the Board of Directors on the definition of the beneficiaries of the second cycle (i.e. 2023-2025) of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan and on the related qualitative and quantitative targets.

For 2023, the Remuneration Committee will be called upon to organise the additional activities briefly outlined below:

  • (i) presentation of the Report to the Shareholders' Meeting (scheduled for April 2023);
  • (ii) assessment of the adequacy, consistency and application of the Remuneration Policy (scheduled for November 2023); and
  • (iii) setting out the activities for the first quarter of 2024 (scheduled for November 2023).

2. INDEPENDENT EXPERTS INVOLVED IN PREPARING THE REMUNERATION POLICY

Considering that the Remuneration Policy described in this Report essentially derives from the 2022 Remuneration Policy, the Remuneration Committee did not seek independent experts' advice.

For information on independent experts involved in the preparation of 2022 Remuneration Policy, please refer to first Section of report on remuneration for fiscal year 2022 and compensation paid in fiscal year 2021, available for public review at the Company's registered office (Via XXV Aprile No. 5, Pero), and on the Company's website (at www.filagroup.it), in the "Governance" section, and via the authorised storage mechanism "eMarketStorage" ().

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 set out above, the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2022 approved the adoption of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, intended for Executive Directors, Senior Executives and Senior Managers, to replace 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 (i.e. 2022-2024) 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 beneficiaries of the second cycle (i.e. 2023-2025) of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan were duly identified on March 22, 2023 by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee.

The 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan seeks 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 2023 Remuneration Policy is substantially consistent and in continuity with the structure of the 2022 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 one year and therefore until December 31, 2023. 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 addition, the process of granting beneficiaries rights to receive shares on a rolling basis 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 2022 Remuneration Policy. The main changes from the 2022 Remuneration Policy consist of (i) identification of new targets for short-term qualitative Executive Directors' variable component allocation; (ii) partially different breakdown of SEs in determining short-term variable component; and (iii) launch of second cycle (i.e. 2023-2025) of 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, with consequent identification of relevant beneficiaries and qualitative and quantitative targets.

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 PSP), 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 2022 remuneration policy and 2021 report (favourable votes equal to 98.162% and 97.615% 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 gross per annum for the Chairperson of the Control, Risks and Related Parties Committee and Euro 7,500 gross per annum for each member of the aforesaid Committee (excluding the Chairperson); (b) Euro 12,000 gross per annum for the Chairperson of the Remuneration Committee and Euro 6,000 gross per annum for each member of the aforesaid Committee (excluding the Chairperson).

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 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 benefits: 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 and of Euro 40,000 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 13, 2023, 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 150,000 for 2023.

- Qualitative target:
30% of the ED Medium/Long-term Variable
Component (the "ED 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 "ED Medium/Long-term Qualitative
Target").
- Allocation: after approval of the consolidated financial statements for the
last financial year of each three-year vesting period (i.e., consolidated
financial statements at December 31, 2024 for the 2022-2024 cycle,
consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2025 for the 2023-2025

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 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 (SEs) and Senior Managers (SMs) - 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:

  • SEs Country Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO);
  • Other SEs;
  • SM in the role of Country CEO, Officer and Executive Vice-Chairperson (EVC);
  • SM in the role of Group Vice-Chairperson (GVC) Vice-Chairperson (VP).

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 targets and principles outlined in the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan.

For more information on the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan, reference should be made to Section I, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3.4 of this Report.

3.4 2022-2026 PERFORMANCE SHARES PLAN

Upon the proposal of the Board of Directors, the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan was approved at the Shareholders' Meeting on April 27, 2022, replacing the 2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan, which naturally expired on December 31, 2021.

This represents a medium/long-term incentive system based on the free allocation of Company shares and subject to the achievement of specific performance targets, in addition to continued employment with the Group.

Specifically, the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan consists of 3 (three) annual share grants ("rolling" plan), each of which corresponds to a three-year performance period (2022-2024, 2023- 2025, 2024-2026); for each grant, shares may be allocated to the beneficiaries after 3 (three) years (three-year vesting period) to an extent linked to the results achieved by them in the amounts as well as according to the terms and conditions set out in the 2022-2026 PSP regulations.

Specifically, except as described below, the free allocation of shares is linked to the fulfilment of the following conditions: (i) maintenance, as of the allocation date, of (a) the employment and/or directorship relationship existing between the individual beneficiary and the relevant company of the Group and (b) the status of beneficiary of the 2022-2026 PSP by reason of the role held; and (ii) the achievement of the minimum performance targets valid for each grant cycle of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan linked (a) partly to the achievement of industrial performance targets and (b) partly to the achievement of the qualitative target, calculated for all the beneficiaries of the 2022- 2026 Performance Shares Plan with reference to the Group's perimeter6 .

The 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan makes it possible 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;
  • increase the Company and the Group's capacity to attract and retain key and strategic personnel for the implementation of the company development plan.

6 With reference to (i) one SE and Senior Manager beneficiaries of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan for the first cycle (2022-2024); and (ii) one SE and 11 Senior Manager beneficiaries of the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan for the second cycle (2023-2025), the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan provides that the quantitative component, linked to the achievement of average ROI targets, is calculated by taking into account only the scope of North America (Canada and the United States) and not of the entire Group.

SECTION II

1. PART I - ITEMS COMPRISING REMUNERATION FOR 2022

In the first part of Section II of this Report, an adequate outline of each of the items comprising the remuneration paid to Directors and to Statutory Auditors of the Company is provided.

In 2022, compensation was paid pursuant to the principles, goals and objectives set out in the 2022 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, inflationary pressures and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

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 2022. 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; (iii) 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; (iv) the constant monitoring of compliance with the Group's cash generation targets; and (v) 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.

Subsequently, however, the Honorary Chairperson informed the Company of his intention to waive the increase awarded; as a result of this waiver, the Honorary Chairperson received gross annual remuneration of Euro 170,000 for 2022.

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.
