b) Information relating to An overview of the key features and objectives of remuneration policy, and information about the decision-making
the design and structure process used for determining the remuneration policy and the role of the relevant stakeholders.
of the remuneration sys
tem for identified staff The principles established by the Remuneration Policy are the pillars used to define the remuneration systems. Fineco's
approach to remuneration, consistent with the legislation and best market practices, ensures the link to performance,
external context and market practices, business strategies and long-term interests of shareholders.
Notably, the Remuneration Policy aims to define incentive systems consistent with corporate values and objectives
(including those that take into account environmental, social and governance factors), with company results and with an
effective risk management in line with the reference framework for determining the risk appetite and with capital and
liquidity levels.
Appropriate remuneration and incentive mechanisms strive to support the creation of a working environment that is
inclusive of any form of diversity and capable of encouraging the expression of individual potential, attracting, retaining
and motivating highly qualified resources.
In line with our remuneration governance model characterized by clarity, reliability and transparency in the decision
making processes, the Remuneration Policy is drawn up by the Human Resources function, with the involvement of
the other company functions based on the area of expertise and validated by the Compliance and Risk Management
function before being submitted to the Remuneration Committee.
The Remuneration Policy, upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee, is submitted annually to the Board of Directors
and subsequently to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval, in line with regulatory requirements.
Information on the criteria used for performance measurement and ex ante and ex post risk adjustment.
The link between profitability, risk and remuneration is guaranteed by directly linking the bonus pool with company
results and relevant risk profiles as defined in the reference framework for determining the risk appetite.
Notably, specific entry conditions are defined, which act as an ex-ante risk adjustment mechanisms and assess the
Group's performance in terms of profitability, capital and liquidity.
Only if all entry conditions are met, the bonus pool is confirmed with the possibility of applying further adjustments based
on the overall assessment of the risk factors included in the risk-weighting mechanism "CRO dashboard". The CRO
dashboard includes specific risk indicators taken from the Risk Appetite Framework1
Once the bonus pool is defined, individual bonuses are determined within the annual performance appraisal process,
based on the principles of transparency and clarity to ensure a direct link between variable remuneration and
performance.
The variable remuneration awarded or paid is subject to ex-post risk adjustment mechanisms (malus and claw back
respectively) that take into account, among others, individual behavior.
Notably, these measures make it possible to reduce, cancel or request the return of any form of variable remuneration.
For more details, please refer to the Focus on "Compliance breach, individual malus and claw back" in Section I
paragraph 2.5.3 of the 2023 Remuneration Policy.
Whether the management body or the remuneration committee where established reviewed the institution's
remuneration policy during the past year, and if so, an overview of any changes that were made, the reasons for
those changes and their impact on remuneration.
In 2023, the Remuneration Committee reviewed the 2022 Remuneration Policy making appropriate changes to further
align with market practices and the expectations and indications of investors and proxy advisors.
The following are the main changes introduced compared to 2022:
- In line with the "pay for sustainable performance" principle and to further strengthen the alignment of managerial
interests with those of the shareholders, effective January 1st 2023, the share ownership requirements for the Chief
Executive Officer and General Manager were increased from 100% to 200% of the fixed remuneration and for
Executives with strategic responsibilities from 50% to 100% of the fixed remuneration.
- A new section was drafted to describe the Group's initiatives to support employees' wellbeing and work-life balance,
with a specific focus on the measures aimed at sustaining employees' purchasing power in the actual macro-economic
context.

This process also applies to the definition of the bonus pool for Financial Advisors.

Information of how the institution ensures that staff in internal control functions are remunerated independently
of the businesses they oversee.
In order to guarantee the independence of the corporate control functions (Internal Audit, Compliance, Risk Management,
Anti-Money Laundering) from the results of the areas they monitor and to minimize potential conflicts of interest, no
economic objectives or objectives linked to the economic results of the monitored areas are assigned. The individual
objectives for the employees of these functions primarily reflect the performance of their own function.
Additionally, the variable remuneration of Identified Staff of the Company Control Functions cannot exceed 1/3 of the
fixed remuneration in line with the applicable regulatory framework and the incentive systems reflect the nature of their
responsibilities and consistent with market practices.
In order to adequately remunerate qualified and expert personnel in these functions, the Identified staff belonging to the
corporate control functions benefit from a specific "Role based allowance", classified as fixed remuneration and related
to the Global Band title.
From a governance point of view, the Remuneration Committee directly supervises the remuneration of all Identified
Staff belonging to the corporate control functions, regardless of their global band title, making proposals to the Board of
Directors on the amounts of remuneration to be awarded. In addition, the Corporate Bodies Regulation provides that the
Risk and Related Parties Committee is involved in setting and evaluating performance goals and in defining the overall
remuneration of the Heads of corporate control functions.
Economic goals are also avoided for the Head of Human Resources and the Manager in charge of financial statements,
whose remuneration is predominantly fixed.
For the Identified Staff belonging to the Control Functions, Human Resources and Manager in Charge, any implications
on the annual bonus of the application of the Zero Factor clause, which is activated in the event of failure to achieve at
least one of the access conditions, are assessed in a manner specifically by the Board of Directors, considering their
independence from the economic results of the areas under their control.
For the Identified Staff belonging to the Control Functions, Human Resources and Manager in Charge of the Financial
Statements, the implications on the annual bonus of the application of the Zero Factor will be specifically assessed by
the Board of Directors, considering their independence with respect to the economic results of the areas subject to
their control.
Policies and criteria applied for the award of guaranteed variable remuneration and severance payments.
The other forms of remuneration are subject to an-hoc decision-making process through the involvement of the relevant
functions and, where required, the corporate bodies.
Welcome bonus or retention bonus are considered variable remuneration and are limited only to exceptional situations
or related to hiring, the need to attract the best competencies from the market, the launch of special projects, high
risk of leaving for critical/strategic employees/roles. Bonuses linked to the hiring of new staff cannot be paid more than
once to the same person, neither by the bank nor by any other company of the banking group, and contribute to the
determination of the limit to the ratio between fixed and variable remuneration of the first year, unless it is paid as a lump
sum upon hiring. Role-Based Allowances are considered fixed remuneration.
The other forms of remuneration are in any case granted in compliance with the regulations in force and the governance
processes of FinecoBank S.p.A. and FinecoBank Group.
All remuneration classified as variable remuneration is subject to the applicable rules (e.g. cap on the ratio between
variable and fix remuneration, deferral) as well as to malus conditions and claw-back actions, as legally enforceable.
With reference to severance pay, the Shareholders' Meeting of 10 April 2019 approved the Termination Payments Policy
(so-called "Severance"), incorporating the regulatory provisions of the Circular no. 285/ 2013 of the Bank of Italy, and
in particular the provisions regarding the amounts agreed in view of or on the occasion of the early termination of the
employment relationship.
For more details, refer to Section I paragraph 3.2.4 of the 2023 Remuneration Policy.
c) Description of the
ways in which current
and future risks are tak
en into account in the
remuneration processes.
As described in point b), the link between risk and remuneration is guaranteed by directly linking the bonus pool with the
relevant risk profiles as defined in the reference framework for determining the risk appetite.
The entry conditions for 2023 are the following: Net Operating Profit adjusted ≥0, Net Profit ≥0, CET1 Ratio >9 % (2023
RAF Capacity), Liquidity Coverage Ratio >101% (2023 RAF Capacity), Net Stable Funding Ratio >101% (2023 RAF Capacity).
Notably, only if all entry conditions are met, the bonus pool is confirmed with the possibility of applying further adjustments
(as a multiplier) based on the overall assessment of the risk factors included in the "CRO dashboard".
The CRO dashboard is risk-adjustment mechanism that includes specific risk indicators taken from the Risk Appetite
Framework connected to capital, liquidity, risk & return, credit, Interest Rate Risk on Banking Book, operational risk, such
as LCR, EL stock, EV Sensitivity, ROAC etc.
The Risk Management function performs the CRO Dashboard, on the basis of specific methodology approved by the
Board of Directors, evaluation resulting in a multiplier of the bonus pool according to a negative (50% and 75%), neutral
(100%) or positive (110% and 120%) ranges.
The opportunity to award an extra performance in the bonus pool can only be granted in case of positive EVA at the
end of the financial year2.
For more details, refer to Section I paragraph 4.2 and 4.3 of the 2023 Remuneration Policy.
d) The ratios between
fixed and variable remu
neration set in accor
dance with point (g) of
Article 94(1) CRD.
In compliance with the applicable regulatory provisions, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of FinecoBank established
a maximum ratio between the variable and fixed component of the remuneration equal to 2:1 for employees belonging
to the business functions.
For the rest of the employees, a maximum ratio equal to 1:1 is usually adopted3
The variable remuneration of Identified Staff in company control functions cannot exceed 1/3 of the fixed remuneration.
The remuneration is predominantly fixed for the Head of Human Resources and the Manager in charge of financial
statements. For the aforementioned Functions, the incentive mechanisms are consistent with the assigned tasks as well
as independent from the results of the areas under their control.
In line with the applicable regulations, for Financial Advisors belonging to Identified Staff, a 2:1 ratio is applied between
the non-recurring and the recurring component of the remuneration.
The adoption of a ratio of 2:1 between variable and fixed compensation does not have any implication on the Bank's
capacity to continue to respect all prudential rules, in particular capital requirements.

2 The risk-adjustment mechanism applies also to the bonus pool for financial advisors with a correction range from 50% to 125%.

3 The variable component, if present, is limited for all the personnel of the corporate control functions and of the human resources function.

ment period with levels
of remuneration.
Entry conditions for 2023 take into consideration, in fact, the following corporate performance indicators: Net Operating
Profit adjusted, Net Profit, CET1 Ratio, Liquidity Coverage Ratio, Net Stable Funding Ratio (for the definitions, refer to
Section I, paragraph 4.2 of the 2023 Remuneration Policy).
The achievement of all entry conditions allows to confirm the bonus pool defined in the budget phase by applying the
"funding rate", a percentage of the Net Operating Profit (net of Provisions for Risk and Charges, corresponding to Profit
Before Tax), and taking into consideration historical data analysis, expected profitability, business strategy and previous
year pool.
Further adjustments to the bonus pool can be applied on the basis of the overall assessment of the risk factors included
in the so-called "CRO dashboard (as described in point c).
For the subsidiary Fineco Asset Management DAC, additional entry conditions are envisaged at local level, which reflect
the specific nature of the business, as well as other performance and risk adjustment parameters.
With regard to employees, individual bonuses are defined within the annual performance appraisal process, based on
the principles of transparency and clarity to ensure a direct link between variable remuneration and performance, taking
into consideration the internal benchmarking analysis based on the role and in compliance with the maximum ratio
between variable and fixed remuneration approved by the Shareholder's Meeting.
The annual performance appraisal process requires a goal-setting phase at the beginning of the year for all Identified
Staff. The individual goals are assigned through the Scorecard, which adequately balances economic-financial and
non-economic factors and requires a minimum of 5 and maximum 8 goals that reflect the Bank and FinecoBank Group's
strategy. The 2023 Scorecard includes 4-6 quantitative/strategic goals, equally weighted, with an overall incidence of
70% on the Scorecard, and up to 2 qualitative/sustainable goals with a 30% incidence on the Scorecard.
For Company Control Functions, Human Resources department and the Manager in charge of financial statements, no
goals linked to economic results area assigned, in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest and be independent
from the results of the respective areas.
The appraisal system is based on a 5-rating scale with a descriptive outcome (from "Below Expectations" to "Greatly
Exceeds Expectations"), which drives the definition of the individual bonus amount.
Additionally, individual behaviors (compliance with internal and external rules and regulations, absence of disciplinary
actions and completion of mandatory training) are also considered in order to award bonuses.
With regard to Financial Advisor Identified Staff, the performance assessment is based on specific parameters (by way
of example, net sales, development activities etc.).
In order to award incentives individual behaviors (compliance with internal and external rules, Compliance rules
and Group's integrity values and regulations and absence of disciplinary actions) are also considered (compliance
assessment). In addition, to further strengthen compliance, a "Scoring" system is in place, consisting of an adjustment
mechanism resulting from the assessment of compliance indicators and quality of operations, relating to specific areas
such as MIFID, transparency, mandatory training, AML etc. This system is applied during the incentive period and can
lead to the revision of the amount of the accrued bonus.
An overview of how amounts of individual variable remuneration are linked to institution-wide and individual
performance.
Variable remuneration is linked to company performance, as described in the previous point related to the bonus pool,
the amount of which is directly proportional to the results achieved by the Bank.
Individual bonus amounts are defined within the annual performance appraisal process, based on the principles of
transparency and clarity to ensure a direct link between variable remuneration and performance.
Information on the criteria used to determine the balance between different types of instruments awarded
including shares, equivalent ownership interest, options and other instruments.
Bonus is delivered for Identified Staff through immediate (upfront) and deferred installments - in cash or in FinecoBank
ordinary shares - over a maximum 6-year period. No other financial instruments are currently envisaged.
In line with Circular no. 285/2013 of the Bank of Italy, at least 50% of the overall variable remuneration of Identified Staff
is paid in FinecoBank ordinary shares.
56% of the bonus of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and for other roles provided for by the law (such
as Deputy General Managers etc.) with significant variable remuneration is paid in shares. The share quota is equal to
55% for the roles provided by law with no significant variable remuneration.
Finally, for the other identified staff with no significant amount of total variable remuneration, the share component of the
variable remuneration is equal to 50%.
With reference to Financial Advisors, a balanced structure of payments in cash (50%) and shares (50%) was defined in
2023.
Information of the measures the institution will implement to adjust variable remuneration in the event that
performance metrics are weak, including the institution's criteria for determining "weak" performance metrics.
Specific entry conditions link the bonus pool to company performance, based on profitability, capital and liquidity
indicators.
The bonus pool is confirmed only if all entry conditions are met.
If even one entry condition is not met, the Zero Factor clause is applied to the Identified Staff thus zeroing out the bonus
pool for the reference year while previous systems deferrals could be reduced from 50% to 100% of their value, based
on final actual results.
For the rest of the population a significant reduction will be applied. It is understood that the BoD can allocate part of the
pool for retention purposes or to ensure the competitiveness on the market.
For the Identified Staff belonging to the Control Functions, Human Resources and Manager in Charge of the Financial
Statements, the implications on the annual bonus of the application of the Zero Factor will be specifically assessed by
the Board of Directors, considering their independence with respect to the economic results of the areas subject to
their control.

or less than one third of the total annual remuneration.
Regarding Financial Advisors, for the Identified Staff with a significant amount of total variable remuneration a 4-year
deferral scheme applies with an overall payout structure of 5 years, with 60% of bonus deferred. 40% of the bonus is
deferred over a 4-year period for the Identified Staff with no significant amount of total variable remuneration.
In order to align the long-term interests of the Bank's Management with the long-term value creation for shareholders, a
share based long-term incentive plan for employees was launched. The Plan sets performance goals for the three-year
performance period 2021-2023 in terms of value creation, industrial sustainability, risk and stakeholder value (ESG), in
line with the 2020-2023 Multi Year Plan.
The Plan performance goals such as ROAC, Net Sales of AUM, Cost Income Ratio, Cost of Risk on commercial loans, as
well as ESG parameters namely customer satisfaction, people engagement and ESG rating for all new funds.
The Plan provides for entry and malus conditions, claw-back conditions and a specific risk-adjustment mechanism.

With reference to the remuneration paid in 2023, in line with the Circular no. 285/2013, the derogation was applied
pertaining to art. 94 paragraph 3 letter b) of the CRD, according to which no deferral is applied in the presence of an
annual variable remuneration equal to or less than € 50,000 and equal to or less than one third of the total annual
remuneration. The derogation therefore applies to the principles of the Remuneration Policy concerning the deferral
of at least 40% of variable remuneration. The Identified Staff who benefited from the derogation are 3, with a total
remuneration of €349,860, of which fixed €279,860 and variable €70,000.
