letter of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and of the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee

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:

  • improving the alignment of the interests of the beneficiaries with those of the shareholders, linking management's remuneration to specific multi-year performance objectives, whose attainment is strictly connected to improving the Company's performance and growth in value over the medium-long term;
  • supporting retention capabilities for key staff, aligning the Company's Remuneration Policy with best market practices, which typically provide medium-long term incentive instruments; and
  • making the Group's Remuneration Policy more consistent with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.

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

Introduction

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:

  • the first section illustrates the Policy adopted by Fincantieri on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and Key Executives with reference to the 2017 financial year and until the approval of a new Remuneration Policy; in accordance with the provisions of Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Financial Law, this section is subject to the consultative vote of the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2016;
  • the second section provides detailed information on the remuneration payable to the aforementioned subjects and the statutory auditors for the 2016 financial year.

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).

section I

  1. Remuneration Policy of the members of the Board of Directors, the General Manager and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities. Procedures for adoption and implementation of the Remuneration Policy

1.1 PROCEDURES FOR ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY

1.1.1 Boards and parties involved in preparing, approving and implementing the Policy

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.

1.2 REMUNERATION COMMITTEE: COMPOSITION, METHOD OF FUNCTIONING, DUTIES AND ACTIVITIES PERFORMED

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

  • Executives, using, with respect to those executives, the information provided by the Chief Executive Officer, which may refer to market practices on Remuneration Policies;
  • periodically assesses the adequacy, overall consistency and due application of the adopted Policy;
  • submits proposals and expresses opinions to the Board of Directors on the remuneration of executive Directors and other directors who hold particular positions, as well as on setting of performance targets related to the variable component of such remuneration;
  • monitors the application of the decisions taken by the Board on matters on which it has submitted proposals and expressed opinions, verifying, more specifically, the actual achievement of the performance targets.

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:

  • i verify the adequacy, overall consistency and due application of the Policy adopted in the previous financial year;
  • ii analyse the legislation, market trends and best practices on incentive systems;
  • iii report on the company results and the other objectives of the MBO for the year 2016 and define the performance targets of the MBO for the 2017, in relation to the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer;
  • iv prepare the contents of the Remuneration Policy for the 2017 financial year to be submitted for approval to the Board of Directors.

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.

2. Remuneration Policy content

2.1 PURPOSES PURSUED BY THE REMUNERATION POLICY, BASIC PRINCIPLES AND CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE POLICY ADOPTED FOR THE 2016 FINANCIAL YEAR

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:

  • i the fixed and the variable components are appropriately balanced and, with respect to the latter, the short-term and the medium-long term variable component;
  • 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;

  • iv the remuneration relating to these plans shall be disbursed to achieve the performance objectives, which are also based on a three-year cycle;
  • v these objectives are predetermined, measurable and indicative of the Company's operational efficiency, as well as its capacity to remunerate the invested capital and to generate cash for the shareholders in the medium-long term;
  • vi the Company may request restitution, in whole or in part, of variable components of the remuneration paid (or to retain sums that are the subject of deferment) that were calculated based on information that later proves to be manifestly erroneous (so-called claw-back).

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.

2.2 SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS TO THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR THE 2017 FINANCIAL YEAR WITH RESPECT TO THAT OF 2016

The Remuneration Policy for the 2017 financial year does not involve any significant modifications with respect to the 2016 financial year.

2.3 STRUCTURE OF THE REMUNERATION: FIXED COMPONENTS AND VARIABLE COMPONENTS; PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES BASED ON WHICH THE VARIABLE COMPONENTS ARE ASSIGNED, AND INFORMATION ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CHANGES IN RESULTS AND CHANGES IN REMUNERATION

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:

  • Short-term variable component: shows the annual value of the incentive that may be obtained upon achievement of the target;
  • Medium-long term variable component: shows the value of the incentive in terms of the number of shares that may be acquired in the event of reaching all targeted objectives in the Plan's first three-year duration cycle. This incentive was quantified by referring to the value of the shares when these granted, assuming that the beneficiaries will participate in all three cycles of the Plan, as well as the permanence of the same, even after the completion of the three cycles.

Based on the foregoing, the parties mentioned above shall receive a remuneration package structured as follows:

TYPE OF REMUNERATION PURPOSE POPULATION INVOLVED

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

2.3.1. Fixed component

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:

  • for the Chief Executive Officer:
  • the salary resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the office of member of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389(1) of the Italian Civil Code;
  • the salary 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, for the role of Chief Executive Officer;
  • for the Chairman of the Board of Directors:
  • 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;

  • for non-executive Directors:
  • the salary resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the role of member of the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 2389(1) of the Italian Civil Code;
  • the amounts resolved by the Board of Directors and payable to the chairman and the members of the internal committees of the Board of Directors (for the Directors holding those roles);
  • for the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and for other Key Executives:
  • the gross annual salary provided according to their individual contract, in compliance with the provisions of the applicable collective laws. Furthermore, the abovementioned executives receive allowances for travelling either nationally or abroad, in line with the provisions under the applicable National Collective Bargaining Agreements and company level contracts.

2.3.2. Variable component

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:

  • a short-term component, based on short-term variable incentive Plans on an annual basis (MBO); and
  • a medium-long term component, based on the share Plan (Performance Share Plan).

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].

Short-term component

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.

Medium-long term component

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:

  • improving alignment of the interests of the beneficiaries with those of the shareholders, linking the management's remuneration to specific multi-year performance objectives whose attainment is strictly connected to improving the Company's performance and value growth over the medium-long term;
  • supporting [the Company's] capability for retaining key resources, aligning the Company's Remuneration Policy with best market practices, which typically provide medium-long term incentive instruments;
  • making the Group's Remuneration Policy closer to the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.

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:

  • achieving the performance objectives; and
  • the other conditions laid down in the Plan's regulations.

This medium-long term Plan is characterised by the following elements:

  • it is based on the allocation to the beneficiaries of the shares of Fincantieri of no par value, depending on achieving specific performance objectives;
  • it consists of three cycles, each of which lasts for three years;
  • there is a three-year period of performance envisaged for each of the three cycles (2016-2018 for the 1st cycle; 2017-2019 for the 2nd cycle; 2018-2020 for the 3rd cycle);
  • a three-year vesting period is planned;
  • shares are granted to each beneficiary, at the end of the performance period, upon achieving performance objectives, both economic and financial (such as EBITDA), as well as connected to the share performance (such as TSR with respect to either the Modified FTSE Italia All Share index, or to an international Peer Group). This is without prejudice to all other conditions laid down in the Plan's regulations. The Board of Directors identifies the performance objectives, having heard the Remuneration Committee. For the first cycle, the performance objectives, EBITDA and TSR, have a respective weight of 70% and 30% of the total rights allocated to each beneficiary;
  • there is a lock-up period during which, subject to any exceptions authorised by the Board of Directors, having consulted the Remuneration Committee, the beneficiaries who are members of the Board of Directors, the General Manager or Executives with Strategic Responsibilities must hold, and not dispose of in any manner, a portion of the shares granted under the Plan (equal to 20% of the difference between the shares granted under the Plan, minus the shares

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);

  • a limit is envisaged (known as 'cap') for the maximum value of the shares which may be granted under the Plan to each beneficiary, obtained by multiplying the number of shares which may be granted at the allocation date based on the level of achievement of the performance objectives, by the quadruple of their market price at the date of the free assignment of the related rights.

Pay mix of variable components

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:

  • for the Chief Executive Officer:
  • an MBO Plan with both annual quantitative objectives, both financial and economic (such as the EBITDA Margin or the value of purchase orders), as well as qualitative objectives linked to achieving specific results. The percentage target was defined by the Board of Directors, on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee, in the amount of 60% of the annual fixed component, which can be increased up to 65% in the event of over performance. The incentive accrued is distributed following verification by the Board of Directors, having heard the Remuneration Committee, of the attainment of the pre-set objectives, following approval of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year in question and in compliance with the provisions of the relative Plan.
  • an LTI Plan or Performance Share Plan with multi-year objectives, of a financial and economic nature and connected to share performance. At the time of the assignment of the rights to acquire free shares of the Company under the LTI Plan, the number of such rights is equal to 100% of the fixed remuneration component, which can be increased up to 130% in the case of over performance. The value of rights that be assigned is subject to the above cap. The incentive accrued is granted and distributed following verification by the Board of Directors, having heard the Remuneration Committee, of the attainment of the pre-set objectives, following approval of the consolidated financial statements relating to the financial year in question for each cycle of the Plan, as well as the existence of all other conditions laid down in the Plan's rules, and is therefore disbursed in accordance with those same rules.
  • for the Chairman:
  • a short-term variable incentive Plan with annual objectives (MBO), both quantitative, of a financial and economic nature (such as the EBITDA Margin or the value of purchase orders), as well as qualitative and quantitative, linked to achieving specific results. The amount is defined as a figure fixed by the Board of Directors, following a proposal by the Remuneration Committee, and paid following a specific resolution in relation to the achievement of preset annual objectives.
  • for the General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and other Key Executives:
  • an MBO plan with annual targets of both quantitative, of a financial and economic nature, as well as qualitative, for both the Company and the individual, which take into consideration the role held (such as the value of purchase orders, the containing of certain structure costs, or specific qualitative and quantitative objectives). The target amount of the short-term variable component of the remuneration (MBO) of the General Manager is equal to 50% of the fixed remuneration component, which may be increased up to 54% in the case of over performance.

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.

  • an LTI Plan with multi-year objectives, whether financial and economic, as well as linked to share performance. The accrued incentive shall be paid after the Board of Directors, having consulted, within its scope of competence, the Remuneration Committee, has verified the achievement of the pre-set objectives, following the approval of the consolidated financial statements concerning the latest financial year for each cycle of the Plan, as well as the existence of all other conditions laid down in the Plan's rules, and is therefore disbursed in accordance with those same rules. Within the limits of the cap referred to in the Plan, the size of the incentive is equal to the following percentage of the fixed remuneration component linked to the bracket's range in which the recipient falls, determined by the Board of Directors, having heard the Remuneration Committee on a proposal from the Chief Executive Officer, based on the impact of its role on the company's results:
  • for the General Manager: 75% when target objectives are met, increasing up to 97.5% in the event of over performance;
  • for the deputy General Manager, the Senior Executive Vice President Military Division and the Senior Executive Vice President Merchant Division: 60% when target objectives are met, increasing up to 78% in the event of over performance;
  • for the other positions falling in the 1st bracket: 50% when target objectives are met, increasing up to 65% in the event of over performance;
  • for other positions falling in the 2nd bracket: 40% when target objectives are met, increasing up to 52% in case of over performance.

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.

Extraordinary remuneration

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.

2.3.3. Non-monetary benefits

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.

2.3.4. Criteria used for evaluation of performance targets at the basis of the assignment of variable salary components and information aimed at highlighting the coherence of the Remuneration Policy with the pursuit of the Company's long-term interests and risk management policy

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.

2.3.5. Deferred payment systems, with indication of the deferment periods and criteria used for determination of those periods and ex post correction mechanisms

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.

2.3.6. Policy relating to salary packages in the event of the end of term of office or termination of the employment contract

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.

2.3.7. Information on the presence of insurance cover, or welfare or pension benefits, other than obligatory treatment

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.

2.3.8. Remuneration Policy followed regarding: (i) the independent Directors, (ii) taking part in Committees and (iii) performance of particular appointments

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.

With effect from 26 September 2016, the Department for General Management was re-established. On that date, and on the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors appointed Alberto Maestrini (Engineer) as the Company's General Manager and, therefore, as head of the Department for General Management.

Mr Maestrini's salary is made up as follows:

  • Fixed component: the amount of EUR 80,464, pro rata, (26 September 31 December 2016) was paid in 2016.
  • Short-term variable component:
  • MBO Plan 2016: the maximum amount, pro rata, for the financial year 2016 (for the period 26 September - 31 December 2016) is EUR 26,652 where all objectives set are met in full and where the access threshold, which is linked to the strategic objective being achieved, is exceeded. For the financial year 2016, the incentive is paid where the target in relation to the EBITDA Margin is achieved, i.e., the ratio between EBITDA and Group Revenues in the financial year in question (2016), not less than 90% of the amount specified in the 2016 Budget approved by the Company's Board of Directors for the year 2016, in order to ensure a direct link between payment of the incentive and the business's results. Any incentive due will be paid during the course of 2017.
  • Extraordinary Remuneration: a one-off payment of EUR 85,000 has been allowed in line with the provisions of Section I, paragraph 2.3.2 of this document, which contemplates the possibility of the Company making one-off payments or entry bonuses/retention bonuses on an entirely exceptional and extraordinary basis in accordance with the Remuneration Policy and in order to attract key individuals on the market or to motivate and retain the best human resources. This amount was paid in 2016.

  • Medium-long term variable component:

  • 2016-2018 LTI Plan: where the first cycle is concerned (2016-2018), on 15 December 2016 the Board of Directors established that 432,988 rights to receive ordinary shares in Fincantieri would be allocated free of charge if all objectives meet target and subject to the conditions imposed by the Regulations that govern the Plan being in place; this decision was subject to the Plan being approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. In the event of over performance, the number of rights can be increased by a maximum of 30%. Any allocation in relation to the first cycle will take place in 2019.
  • Non-monetary benefits: provision of a company car for business and private use plus fuel, supplementary health package, insurance and further minor benefits, in the total amount of EUR 2,221, established on the basis of taxable income criteria.

4. Key Executives / Executives with Strategic Responsibilities

During the course of 2016, hirings/terminations and arrivals/departures on a managerial level in relation to the various roles for the financial year in question resulted in the overall number of persons totalling 25 (during the year or part thereof), 11 of whom are Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

Key Executives' salaries are set out in aggregate, with the salaries for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities specified therein, again in aggregate, as none of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities were in receipt of salaries greater overall than the highest overall salary received by the members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the General Manager. Set out below, in aggregate, is a description of each of the items that make up the remuneration paid to Key Executives, with details for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, during the course of the financial year 2016:

  • Fixed component: EUR 3,606,597 as gross annual salary, of which EUR 1,566,209 for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities; these amounts were paid in 2016.
  • Short-term variable component:
  • MBO Plan 2015: no amount was paid out, as the Chief Executive Officer established that the target in relation to the EBITDA Margin, i.e. the ratio between EBITDA and Group Revenue in the financial year in question (2015) had not been met. This target is in fact the access threshold to be exceeded in order for the incentive to be paid.
  • 2016 MBO Plan: any incentive due will be paid during the course of 2017 where all objectives set have been achieved. Without prejudice to this, payment of the short-term incentive will in any event be subject to an access threshold being exceeded; this access threshold is linked to a strategic objective being achieved. For the financial year 2016, this strategic objective involves meeting a target that relates to the EBITDA Margin, i.e. the relationship between EBITDA and Group Revenues in the financial year in question (2016), not less than 90% of the amount specified in the 2016 Budget approved by the Company's Board of Directors for the year 2016, in order to ensure a direct link between payment of the incentive and the business's results. The maximum MBO amount payable in 2017 is 1,501,136, of which EUR 745,885 relates to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

  • Medium-long term variable component:

  • 2016-2018 LTI Plan: where the first cycle is concerned (2016-2018), on 15 December 2016 the Board of Directors established that 2,429,514 rights to receive ordinary shares in Fincantieri would be allocated free of charge (of which 1,030,776 for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities) if all objectives meet target and subject to the conditions imposed by the Regulations that govern the Plan being in place; this decision was subject to the Plan being approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. In the event of over performance, this number of rights can be increased by a maximum of 30%. Any allocation in relation to the first cycle will take place in 2019.
  • Extraordinary Remuneration: a one-off payment of EUR 385,000 has been allowed, of which EUR 172,000 is for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities; this is in line with the provisions of Section I, paragraph 2.3.2 of this document, which contemplates the possibility of the Company making one-off payments or entry bonuses/retention bonuses on an entirely exceptional and extraordinary basis, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy and in order to attract key individuals on the market or to motivate and retain the best human resources. This amount was paid in 2016.
  • Non-monetary benefits: these include provision of a company car for business and private use plus fuel, the use in certain cases of an apartment for longer stays of a limited duration, supplementary insurance cover, welfare and pension benefits that exceed the provisions of the relevant National Collective Bargaining Agreement in force, in the overall amount (on the basis of taxable income criteria) of EUR 259,482 (of which EUR 98,515 for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities).

5. Agreements for payment of indemnities in the event of early termination of the employment relationship

Pursuant to specific agreement in place with the General Manager, an indemnity is payable where the employment relationship is terminated early; the indemnity comprises 36 gross monthly salaries, inclusive of the thirteenth month salary bonus, in the event of dismissal without good cause, resignation for good cause and termination of employment by consent.

51The table does not include information in relation to individuals who ceased to hold office before shares in the Company were admitted for trading.

Note that pursuant to Article 84-quarter, paragraph 4, of the Issuers' Regulations, the Remuneration Report sets out "the shareholdings held in listed companies and in companies controlled by the same by members of the management and control boards, general managers and other executives with strategic responsibilities as well as by spouses not legally separated and minor children directly or through subsidiary companies, trust companies or through an intermediary as shown in the shareholders' register, in communications received and other information acquired by the said members of the management and control boards, by general managers and executives with strategic responsibilities".

Pursuant to Schedule No. 7-ter of Annex 3A of the Issuer's Regulations, all those who, during the financial year in question or part thereof, held roles as members of the management and control boards, as general manager or as executives with strategic responsibilities, are included. The rights underlying possession of the shareholding and the rules governing possession of the shareholding are also specified.

52Mr. Maestrini's held these shares before being appointed as General Manager for the Company.

53That amount does not include the 11.000 shares of the General Manager, because he was included among the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities until September 26, 2016.

54The difference in the number of shares held on 31.12.2016 compared to that of 31.12.2015 is due to the alternation of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities during the relevant financial year. 55 Data not available. In compliance with international accounting principles IFRS 2, the reference date to calculate the fair value is May 19, 2017, i.e. the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to

resolve on the Plan's approval.

57 It is the weighted average market price of the shares in the five trading days preceding the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors held on December, 15, 2016.

58 Date of the Board of Director's resolution approving the Plan that will be submitted for approval at the Shareholders' Meeting on 19 May 2017 convened for the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2016.
