Dear Shareholders,
Fincantieri's annual Remuneration Report that we present you with describes the Remuneration Policy for the 2017 financial year and the salaries paid during the 2016 financial year to the Directors, Auditors, Managing Director, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives for the Company.
The Remuneration Report and the Policy for the 2017 financial year described therein, defined in compliance with the Company's governance model, with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and with the best practices applied in the area, were approved by the Board of Directors on 9 March 2017 on proposal from the Remuneration Committee.
Attracting, motivating and retaining a management team equipped with high-level professional skills, capable of guiding the Company to success and profitability, as well as aligning the interests of management to the primary objective of creating value for the Company's shareholders over the medium-long term, are the goals to be pursued. To this end, a substantial portion of remuneration is based on the results actually achieved.
As anticipated in last year's Remuneration Report, in 2016 the Company therefore drafted a mediumlong term incentive Plan (Performance Share Plan) for the Company's management. The Board of Directors, on proposal from the Remuneration Committee, with resolution of 10 November 2016, approved the 2016 – 2018 Performance Share Plan subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2016.
In compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code as well as the best practices of listed companies, the medium-long term incentive Plan aims to pursue the following objectives:
The Plan provides for a vesting period for all beneficiaries between the granting date of entitlements and the granting date of the shares to those beneficiaries. Furthermore, it provides a lock-up period for members of the Board of Directors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities on a number of shares equal to at least 20% of the number of net shares delivered. The Plan also includes claw-back clauses.
Following the introduction of the medium-long term incentive Plan, the pay-mix of the remuneration packages of the Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives shows an increase in the variable component. The increase is based on the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy and favours the variable components over the fixed component, in line with the best practices of the market.
We therefore believe that, being closely linked to clear and measurable performance objectives, both of a financial and economic nature as well as connected to Fincantieri's share performance, the Remuneration Policy outlined in this Report pursues the twofold objective of creating value for shareholders over the medium-long term and ensuring an adequate and transparent Remuneration Policy that is able to attract, motivate and remunerate the Company's key personnel.
We take this occasion to thank you in advance for your vote and for any suggestions that you wish to give us at the next Shareholder's Meeting. We are pleased to renew, on behalf of all the Directors of the Board, our utmost commitment to these issues also for 2017.
Paola Muratorio The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee
Giampiero Massolo The Chairman of the Board of Directors
This Report, prepared in compliance with current law and the Corporate Governance Code, was approved by the Board of Directors' Meeting of 9 March 2017 on a proposal by the Remuneration Committee.
In compliance with the provisions of Article 123–ter of the Consolidated Financial Law, this Report is divided into two sections:
This Report is made available to the public at the Fincantieri company headquarters (in via Genova, 1 - Trieste) and on the Company's website (www.fincantieri.com).
Fincantieri's Remuneration Policy is approved annually by the Board of Directors on proposal by the Remuneration Committee. This Policy's purpose is to: (i) attract, motivate and retain the most suitable resources to successfully manage the company; (ii) stimulate the achievement of strategic objectives; (iii) align the interests of top management with the priority objective of the creation of sustainable shareholder value in the medium-long term; and (iv) promote the Company's mission and its corporate values.
In accordance with the rules of the Corporate Governance Code and with the provisions of the Remuneration Committee's regulations, the Remuneration Committee shall periodically evaluate the adequacy, overall consistency and the due application of the Remuneration Policy of the parties concerned.
The corporate board responsible for the correct implementation of the Remuneration Policy is the Board of Directors, being supported by the Remuneration Committee, which has makes proposals and carries out advisory functions.
The management of the Remuneration Policy of the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives is entrusted to the Chief Executive Officer who, with the assistance of the Human Resources and Industrial Relations Directorate of the Company, constantly monitors the adequacy, overall consistency, and the actual implementation of the Policy itself, regularly informing the Remuneration Committee.
The verification of the level of achievement of the quantitative and qualitative performance targets, and the consequent determination of the sums of money to the subjects concerned, shall be performed after the approval of the consolidated financial statements, following verification by the Chief Executive Officer.
The composition, appointment, duties and operating procedures of the Remuneration Committee is governed by special Regulations approved by the Board of Directors.
In line with the provisions of these Regulations, the Committee is composed of three non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent. At least one member of the Remuneration Committee shall possess adequate knowledge and experience in finance and Remuneration Policy matters, which the Board of Directors shall evaluate at the time of appointment.
From 1 January 2016 until 21 March 2016, the Committee consisted of the Directors Simone Anichini (independent) with the office of Chairman, Paolo Scudieri (independent) and Anna Molinotti, all possessing adequate knowledge and experience in financial matters or Remuneration Policies. Following the resignation of Ms Anna Molinotti from both the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee, such resignation taking place on 21 March 2016 with immediate effect, the Committee was composed, up to the natural expiry of the entire Board of Directors on 19 May 2016, by the Directors Simone Anichini and Paolo Scudieri.
The Shareholders' Meeting, on 19 May 2016, nominated the new Board of Directors, which, on 8 June 2016, appointed the members of the new Remuneration Committee, which consists of Directors Paola Muratorio (independent) with the office of Chairman, Donatella Treu (independent) and Fabrizio Palermo. All members possess adequate knowledge and experience in financial matters or Remuneration Policies.
Pursuant to its Regulations, the Committee meets periodically with the frequency necessary to perform its activities. Meetings are convened by the Committee Chairman, or when a request is made by at least two of its members, for the discussion of specific matters that are considered particularly relevant.
The Committee is quorate when the majority of the members in office are present and decides by absolute majority vote of those in attendance. In the event of a tie, the Chairman of the Committee holds the deciding vote.
The following people can also attend the Committee meetings: Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors (or other permanent auditor appointed by them). Other permanent auditors, however, may also attend the meetings and, upon invitation of the Committee itself, other parties as well may attend, including other Board members or top management to provide information and express evaluations on matters falling within their remits with reference to the individual items on the Agenda of the meetings. More specifically, as a general rule, the SVP of the Human Resources and Industrial Relations Directorate should attend. No Director shall take part in those Committee meetings at which proposals are submitted to the Board of Directors concerning their own remuneration. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code and its own Regulations, the Remuneration
Committee carries out the following advisory duties and makes proposals in relation to remuneration: submits proposals to the Board of Directors on the Remuneration Policy of Directors and Key
In carrying out these functions and for the purposes of performing its duties, the Committee shall prepare and submit to the Board of Directors proposals for medium-long term incentive schemes for top management, including any share-based compensation plans, monitoring their application. In carrying out its functions, it also reports to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements, either by the Committee Chairman or another designated member. On an interim basis, the Committee has been assigned functions relating to transactions with related parties in the case of resolutions concerning remuneration.
In the performance of its duties, the Committee shall ensure suitable functional and operational communications with the competent corporate departments.
The Committee: (i) has access to the information and is assisted by the corporate departments necessary to perform its duties; (ii) in order to fulfil its duties, it may access, through the structures of the Company, external consultants, provided that they are adequately bound to the necessary confidentiality; and (iii) if it considers it necessary, it may prepare an annual budget for its own activities to be proposed to the Board of Directors.
During 2016, the Remuneration Committee met 10 times in order to:
As part of this last activity, the Committee also actively participated in the Company's provision of a medium-long term incentive Plan (Performance Share Plan) for the Company management (see subsequent paragraphs 1.3 and 2.3.2).
More specifically, on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, by its resolution dated 10 November 2016, the Board of Directors approved the project of the Performance Share Plan subject to its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting.
With the same resolution, the Board of Directors, therefore, has decided to submit the approval of the Plan – pursuant to Article 114-bis (1) of the Consolidated Financial Law – to the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2016. The purpose of this is to avoid incurring the additional economic costs arising from convening an ad hoc Shareholders' Meeting, in the framework of the corporate cost-cutting policy. Illustrated below is the cycle of activities performed by the Committee in 2016:
1.3 INDEPENDENT EXPERTS TAKING PART IN THE PREPARATION OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE, AS REFERENCE, OF REMUNERATION POLICIES OF OTHER COMPANIES
In drafting of the Remuneration Policy, reference was made to benchmarks, remuneration surveys and market analyses conducted by leading consultancy companies, including at an international level, with the intent of aligning this Policy with the most prevalent market practices of listed companies.
With the support of Willis Towers Watson, the Company, in line with the best practices of international listed companies, has developed a proposal for a medium-long term incentive Plan for the top management of Fincantieri.
The Plan proposal was submitted to the Remuneration Committee for its examination, assisted in this activity by the Mercer Company, an independent consultancy company appointed by the same Committee.
That Plan proposal, approved by the above-mentioned Remuneration Committee, was therefore submitted to the Board of Directors for its perusal. Albeit sharing its objectives and methods - on proposal of the said Committee and in view of the forthcoming end of the office term of the current Board of Directors and the Committee itself - the Board of Directors decided to postpone decisions on any approval to the new Board of Directors to be appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting.
The new Board of Directors, on a proposal from the new Remuneration Committee, by resolution of 10 November 2016, endorsed the project for the medium-long term incentive Plan based on Fincantieri shares and named the Performance Share Plan for management, subject to its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting. This will be convened for approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2016, as stated in the Information Document relating to that Plan, published by the Company pursuant to law.
The Company's Remuneration Policy is defined in compliance with the Company's governance model and with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, to promote the Company's mission and its corporate values, to attract, motivate and retain management with high-level professional skills, capable of guiding the Company to success and profitability. Its purpose is also to align the interests of that same management with the primary objective of the creation of value for the Company's shareholders, over the medium-long term, ensuring that remuneration is based on the results achieved.
To this end, the Company examines market practices on Remuneration Policies, thus ensuring an adequate level of its competitiveness in the labour market.
The Company, in fact, in view of its new organisational structure, completed in January 2017, and with a view toward increasing alignment of the remuneration packages of Key Executives, as well as those of other managers, to the best market practices, has initiated a project to update its evaluation of managerial positions, with the support of Willis Towers Watson, to verify the Company's remuneration positioning compared to the market. Based on this analysis, the Company will implement, where necessary, a multi-annual review plan for remuneration packages, aimed at gradually adapting those which are not in line with market levels. A more aggressive remuneration policy may also be initiated towards key human resources, including in the view of retaining them, to adapt the relative remuneration levels to those companies that are comparable by size, complexity and international presence.
The Remuneration Policy applies to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman, the other Directors who may hold particular positions, the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives. It aims at incentivising their performance within the Company and the achievement of its strategic objectives. It also seeks to encourage management loyalty, both by paying a suitable fixed component of remuneration, as well as by implementing variable remuneration systems linked to the achievement of certain pre-set individual and Group performance objectives. More specifically, to strengthen the link between remuneration and the medium-long term interest of the Company, the Remuneration Policy envisages that:
ii the fixed component is suitable to compensate the concerned party's performance if the variable component is not disbursed due to the failure to achieve the performance objectives;
iii a significant portion of the remuneration of those concerned is based on the three-year incentive Plans;
The Remuneration Policy applied to the parties above is thus oriented toward evaluating sustainable performance and the achievement of the Company's strategic priorities.
In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, is commensurate with the commitment requested from each of these, the remuneration of non-executive Directors, also taking into account their participation on one or more Committees of the Board of Directors and does not foresee any variable components.
The Remuneration Policy for the 2017 financial year does not involve any significant modifications with respect to the 2016 financial year.
The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives is defined in such a way as to align their interests with the pursuit of the primary objective of value creation for the shareholders over the mediumlong term. In addition, as highlighted in the following chart, following the introduction of the Performance Share Plan, the pay-mix has shown an increase in the variable component. The paymix, therefore, is balanced on the basis on the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, taking account of the industry in which it operates and the features of the business as it performs. For those roles of greater responsibility, the variable components are emphasised in relation to the fixed component, in line with the best practices of the market:
PAY MIX
Fixed component
Short-term variable component
Medium-long term variable component
In the graph, the values of the variable components were calculated as follows:
Based on the foregoing, the parties mentioned above shall receive a remuneration package structured as follows:
| TYPE OF REMUNERATION | PURPOSE | POPULATION INVOLVED |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed remuneration | Remunerates the role and more specifically the responsibilities assigned to the recipient, taking account, among other things, of experience, quality of contribution made to achieving the business results and level of excellence with respect to the assigned duties |
- Chairman - Chief Executive Officer - Non-executive Directors - General Manager - Executives with Strategic Responsibilities - Other Key Executives |
| Short-term variable remuneration (annual MBO) |
Remunerates results achieved in the short term and is aimed at translating the industrial plan strategies into a series of annual, individual and group objectives, capable of decisively influencing performance of the executives involved |
- Chairman - Chief Executive Officer - General Manager - Executives with Strategic Responsibilities - Other Key Executives |
| Medium-long term variable remuneration (Performance Share Plan) |
Remunerates results achieved in the medium-long term and is aimed at improving the alignment of interests of the recipients with those of the shareholders and supporting the retention capabilities for key resources |
The beneficiaries are individually identified at the discretion of the Board of Directors, having heard the Remuneration Committee, among the following parties: - Chief Executive Officer and, according to the indications of the Chief Executive Officer, the following parties: - General Manager - Other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities - Other Key Executives |
The fixed salary component is commensurate to the role, the commitment required and the connected responsibilities. It is sufficient to remunerate the services performed in the event of no payment or only partial payment of the variable components, where envisaged. This is determined taking account of the level of experience of the individual party, of the professional contribution that the same brings to the attainment of the business results, as well as the level of excellence with respect to the duties assigned.
The fixed component is also such as to ensure a suitably competitive position with respect to the level of salary paid by the market for the specific position.
In line with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and with the purposes described in paragraph 2.1 hereof, the Policy provides that the fixed component of the remuneration is made up of:
the salary resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the role of Chairman pursuant to Article 2389(1) of the Italian Civil Code;
the salary resolved by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389(3) of the Italian Civil Code, on proposal from the Remuneration Committee, having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, in consideration of the breadth and nature of the specific duties which may be assigned;
The aim of the variable component is to remunerate management for the results achieved in the short and medium-long term. The direct relationship between results achieved and payment of the incentives allows the implementation of a merit-based system, differentiating the contribution of each person and at the same time motivating the human resources.
The pay mix relative to the variable part of the remuneration consists of:
The variable remuneration utilises different incentive programmes and instruments, depending on the resources involved and the timescale taken into consideration, to mitigate the management's risk assumption and to incentivise the creation of sustainable shareholder value over the mediumlong term.
Recipients of the short-term variable remuneration are: the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and Key Executives.
The recipients of the medium-long term remuneration are individually identified at the discretion of the Board of Directors, having heard the Remuneration Committee, for the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, and based on the indications of the Chief Executive Officer in relation to the General Manager, other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, other Key Executives and other key resources identified with the purposes of incentivising and retaining [talented employees].
The use of a short-term variable incentive Plan on an annual basis (MBO) aims at translating the industrial plan's strategies into a series of annual objectives. The MBO can decisively influence the performance of the executives involved.
The objectives, identified in line with the industrial plan, are predetermined and measurable and are assigned annually by way of plans discussed with the individual recipients.
Based on the level of attainment of their own targets, the executives involved receive a bonus consisting of a predefined percentage of their base salary, in accordance with the MBO group to which they belong, equal to 30% (1st bracket), 35% (2nd bracket), 40% (3rd bracket) and, for the General Manager, 50%. These percentages relate to the target; in the event of over performance, however, these will not exceed: 33.0% (1st bracket), 38.2% (2nd bracket), 43.5% (3rd bracket) and, for the General Manager, 54%.
The short-term incentive of the Chief Executive Officer is 60% of the annual fixed component, relative to the target and, however, will not exceed 65% in the event of over performance. The Chairman's short-term incentive is defined as a fixed figure by the Board of Directors, on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee.
The MBO is subject to claw-back clauses.
Without prejudice to that specified in paragraph 2.1 of this Report, and in compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code as well as the best practices of listed companies, the Company's Remuneration Policy also provides for a medium-long term variable component (Performance Share Plan) aimed at achieving the following objectives:
More specifically, this component provides for the free allocation, to each of the beneficiaries identified, as provided for in the regulations governing the Plan, of the rights to acquire free Company shares of no par value at the end of a certain period of performance and subject to:
This medium-long term Plan is characterised by the following elements:
necessary for the fulfilment of the tax burdens arising from the delivery of such shares) for a maximum period of three years (in the case of permanent employment), or until the end of one's office or contract (for Directors or in the case of fixed-term contracts);
Based on the foregoing, as regards the variable components of the remuneration, the pay mix for the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives is made up of:
The maximum target amount of the short-term variable component of the remuneration (MBO) of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and Key Executives is equal, depending on the bracket's range in which they fall, to 30%, 35% and 40% of the base salary, to be increased to 33%, 38.2%, and 43.5% in the case of over performance. The incentive accrued is assigned and disbursed following verification by the Chief Executive Officer of the degree of attainment of the pre-set objectives, following approval of the consolidated financial statements relating to the financial year in question, and is therefore distributed in compliance with the relative Plan.
Furthermore, based the provisions of the Plan's Regulations, this form of medium-long term incentive, for the first cycle, has also been extended to a selected number of other executives, depending on the duties entrusted to them, in a percentage equal to 33% of the fixed component of their base remuneration when target objectives are met, increasing up to 42.9% in case of over performance. For every aspect of the details, reference is made to the contents of the Information Document, drawn up pursuant to Article 114–bis of the Consolidated Financial Law and Article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation, published by the Company.
In exceptional and extraordinary circumstances with respect to the Remuneration Policy, and with the view of attracting key market figures or motivating and retaining the best human resources, the Company may pay sums of money in terms of a one-off or entry bonus/retention bonus at the executive recruitment stage, or at any other time when the need may arise, to an extent that is in keeping with the most widespread market practices.
Where intended for the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, those extraordinary salary components are subject to resolution by the Board of Directors, on proposal of the Remuneration Committee. For the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives, the issuance is remitted to the exclusive evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer.
On proposal by the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors also has the power, within its competence, to resolve on the payment of any exceptional bonuses in connection with extraordinary transactions and/or results (such as for example, acquisitions, mergers, or divestments) having a significant impact on the Company, and as such are unlikely to be adequately recompensed within the ordinary variable remuneration systems.
The Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, General Manager, other Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, and other Key Executives are given the use of a company car for both business and private use with the relative fuel. Also, where appropriate, they are granted use of an apartment for longer stays as an alternative to hotel accommodation, limited in time, however, according to economic criteria.
The performance targets provided by the Remuneration Policy for the disbursement of the variable salary component are identified by taking account of the specific activities performed by the Company and of their connected risk profiles.
More specifically, the payment of the variable component of the short-term incentive Plan is normally tied to the attainment of pre-set financial and economic performance objectives related to the annual budget. The comparison of the final balance figures with the assigned objectives determines the amount of the variable component of the remuneration paid.
The payment of what is envisaged, however, regarding the medium-long term variable component, is aimed at the creation of value for all the shareholders in the medium-long term. It is therefore usually connected to the attainment of pre-set financial and economic performance objectives referred to in the industrial plan and/or to the stages thereof, or based on share performance and/ or the financial return for the shareholders in the medium-long term.
For the medium-long term variable component, there is envisaged a vesting period of approximately three-years and a lock-up period, unless the Board of Directors, after consulting the Remuneration Committee, grants exceptions as indicated in paragraph 2.3.2.
Claw-back clauses are provided for in relation to all variable remuneration components.
The treatment envisaged in the event of the end of office term or the termination of the employment contract is regulated by the current National Collective Bargaining Agreement for executives of companies that produce goods or services, as well as being left to the stipulation of specific agreements with the individual parties involved. In any event, such agreements may not provide for the payment of an indemnity which may not exceed an amount equivalent to 36 gross monthly salaries, including the instalment of the thirteenth month of the annual salary.
Pursuant to Article 2125 of the Italian Civil Code, specific compensation may also be provided for those cases in which there is the need to conclude non-competition agreements with the members of the Board of Directors, General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are provided with determinate insurance cover. For the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives, as well as for the other Company executives, supplementary insurance, welfare and pension benefits are provided which are more generous than those established by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement which applies to the executives of the Group.
The remuneration of the independent Directors is the same as that described in paragraph 2.3.1 herein regarding non-executive Directors.
For Directors participating in the internal Committees of the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Policy stipulates that they shall receive, for their participation in each Committee, additional remuneration determined by the Board of Directors, after a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, as stated in the preceding paragraph 2.3.1.
