2. REASONS FOR ADOPTION OF THE PLAN

2.1 Objectives served by assignment of the Plan

The company considers share-based remuneration plans as an effective instrument to incentivise and create loyalty among those in key roles, in order to maintain and improve performance levels and also to contribute to boosting growth and the success of the company and of the Group.

The Plan is an appropriate instrument to align the interest of the Beneficiaries with those of shareholders, supporting the pursuit of the key objective of creating value over the medium/long-term.

The Plan also recognises key personnel for their dedicated efforts to the Group's growth over recent years, culminating with the successful listing and the transfer from the AIM - Italian market to the STAR Segment on the main Italian Stock Exchange index.

2.2 Key variables, also in the form of performance indicators, considered for the allocation of the financial instrument-based plan

The Assigned Options shall become Matured Options, and shall be therefore be exercisable by the Beneficiaries in the relative Exercise Periods, only on achievement of the specific performance Objectives concerning each tranche and according to the terms indicated in the following tables:

First tranche
EBITDA as per the financial statements
of the company at December 31, 2018
%
of Options from the first tranche
matured
under Euro 7,947,000 0%
equal to or above Euro 7,947,000 100%
Second tranche
EBITDA as per the financial statements
of the company at December 31, 2019
% of Options from the second tranche
matured
under Euro 8,495,000 0%
equal to or above Euro 8,495,000 100%
Third tranche
EBITDA as per the financial statements
of the company at December 31, 2020
% of Options from the third tranche
matured
under Euro 9,918,000 0%
equal to or above Euro 9,918,000 100%

Achievement of the Objectives shall be verified by the Board of Directors of the company following approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of the relative annual financial statements.

2.3 Elements upon which the financial instrument-based remuneration is calculated - i.e. the measurement criteria

At the Assignment Date, the Board of Directors of the company, having consulted with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, will establish the number of Options devolving to each Beneficiary.

The number of Options to be assigned to each Beneficiary shall be defined by the Board of Directors by assessing the contribution of each Beneficiary to the achievement of the strategy and the objectives to create fresh value, taking account of the strategic relevance of the position held and the centrality of the activities undertaken to company and Group operations.

2.4 Reasons for any decision to assign compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of financial instruments, such as the financial instruments issued by subsidiaries or parent companies or third-party companies outside of the Group; in the case in which the above instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria utilised for the calculation of the attributable value

Not applicable, as the Plan provides for the allocation to each Beneficiary of the right to receive (freely) Options which attribute the right to subscribe or acquire Shares of the company.

2.5 Assessments concerning significant tax and accounting implications impacting the drawing up of the Plan

At the date of this Disclosure Document, significant accounting and tax implications upon the company impacting the definition of the Plan have not emerged.

2.6 Support to the Plan by the Special fund to incentivise worker involvement in enterprises, as per Article 4, paragraph 112 of Law No. 350 of December 24, 2003

On September 3, 2018, the Board of Directors, having received the favourable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and with the abstention of the Executive Directors among the Beneficiaries, approved the submittal to the Shareholders' Meeting of the proposal to adopt the Plan.

4. FEATURES OF THE INSTRUMENTS ASSIGNED

4.1 Description of the forms by which the financial instrument-based compensation plans are structured; e.g. indicate whether the Plan is based on the allocation of: financial instruments (assignment of restricted stock); the increase in the value of these instruments (phantom stock); rights which permit the subsequent acquisition of financial instruments (grant options) with settlement by physical provision ("stock options") or in cash on the basis of a differential ("stock appreciation right")

The Plan stipulates the free assignment of Options which permit, at pre-established conditions, the subsequent subscription or acquisition of the Shares, settled through physical assignment. The Plan provides therefore for the assignment of stock options.

Each 1 (one) Option assigned confers the right to the Beneficiary to subscribe or acquire 1 (one) share, with full rights, against the payment to the company of the Exercise Price.

The Assigned Options are exercisable in a number of tranches, subject to the achievement of the Objectives indicated in paragraph 2.2 above, and according to the means and terms set out in paragraph 4.2 below

4.2 Indication of the effective implementation period of the Plan with regards also to any differing cycles established

The Plan stipulates that the Options are assigned by the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

The Options may be exercised over a three-year vesting period, broken down into three tranches, as indicated below:

  • first tranche: up to 20% of the assigned options; such may be exercised within 1 year from the Assignment Date;
  • second tranche: up to 30% of the assigned options; such may be exercised within 2 years from the Assignment Date; and
  • third tranche: up to 50% of the assigned options; such may be exercised within 3 years from the Assignment Date;

The Options Assigned included in the above-mentioned tranches shall mature – and therefore shall become exercisable in the relative Exercise Periods - only where the Objectives described in paragraph 2.2 above have been achieved.

4.3 Plan duration

The duration of the Plan extends until the final deadline by which the options relating to the third tranche may be exercised by the Beneficiary and therefore covers six years from the Assignment Date.

The Options not exercised by the relative Maturity Date shall be considered to all effects and purposes as void, with the consequent release of the company from any obligation deriving under the Plan towards the Beneficiary.

Subject to that stated in paragraph 3.3 above, the Shareholders' Meeting may renew it or extend its duration, applying all the supplementations and amendments considered necessary or appropriate to adjust the Plan to regulations, as applicable, or to altered Group needs.

4.4 Maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, assigned in each fiscal year in relation to the named parties or to the categories indicated

The Plan provides for the assignment of a maximum 690,000 Options, which give the right to subscribe to or acquire an equal maximum number of Shares.

The Plan does not provide for a maximum number of Options to be assigned in a given financial year.

4.5 Methods and implementation clauses of the Plan, specifying whether the effective assignment of the instrument is subject to the achievement of conditions or the achievement of results (including performance based); description of these conditions and results

In relation to the Plan implementation methods and clauses, reference should be made to the specific paragraphs of this Disclosure Document. In particular, at the Assignment Date, the Board of Directors of the company shall establish the number of Options to be assigned to each Beneficiary according to the criteria indicated in paragraph 2.3 below.

The assignment of the Options to Beneficiaries is free of charge. Each Beneficiary may exercise the Matured Options, on conclusion of the relative Vesting Period, subscribing to or acquiring the Shares, at the conditions set out in paragraphs 2.2 and 4.2 above.

4.6 Indication of any restrictions upon availability of the instruments assigned or upon the instruments deriving from exercise of the Options, with particular regard to the deadline by which the subsequent transfer to the company or to third parties is permitted or prohibited

The Plan Beneficiaries are required to hold on a continuous basis, for at least 18 months from the date on which they have received the Shares following exercise of the Matured Options, at least 20% of the Shares subscribed or acquired as a result of exercising the Options matured, less an amount of shares whose value corresponds to the exercise price of the Options matured which have been exercised and the related tax, pension and social security charges related to the conversion of the exercised Matured Options which have been effectively paid (the "sell to cover").

In addition, the Plan Beneficiaries who are Executive Directors, as per the recommendations of the Self-Governance Code, are however obliged, also following the above-indicated period of unavailability, to hold on a continuous basis, until the conclusion of mandate concerning each of the Vesting Periods, at least 20% of the shares subscribed or acquired as a result of exercising the Options matured, less a number of shares corresponding to the exercise price of the matured options converted and the tax, pension and social security charges related to the exercise of the options matured which have been effectively paid.

There are no further unavailability restrictions binding the Shares assigned following the exercise of the Matured Options.

4.7 Description of any resolution conditions in relation to the assignment of the Plan in the case in which the Beneficiaries carry out hedges which permit the neutralisation of any prohibitions on the sale of the assigned financial instruments, also in the form of options, or of the financial instruments deriving from the exercise of these options

Not applicable, as no resolution conditions in the case in which the Beneficiary undertakes hedges are stipulated.

4.8 Description of the effects from resolution of administration/employment relationship of the Beneficiaries

In the case of the conclusion of the relationship, the provisions at paragraph 4.8 above shall continue to be applied, except where otherwise decided by the Board of Directors in a favourable sense for the Beneficiaries and subject to the faculty of the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, to reach agreements featuring differing content with each Beneficiary.

In the case of the conclusion of the Relationship resulting in a Good Leaver situation, whose conclusion date is before the expiry of the relative Exercise Period, the Beneficiary (or his/her heirs or legitimate successors) shall maintain the right to exercise the Matured Options not yet exercised, in compliance with the Plan, by the conclusion of the relative Exercise Period. The Assigned Options, although not yet matured, shall be considered as lapsed.

In the case of the conclusion of the Relationship with regards to a Bad Leaver situation, the Beneficiary shall definitively lose, from the conclusion date of the Relationship, the right to exercise the Options (both the Assigned Options and the Matured Options) which have not yet been exercised.

The following are not considered as conclusion of the Relationship: (i) the natural maturity of the office of directorship followed by immediate renewal, (ii) the transfer of the Relationship to another Group company, and (iii) the conclusion of the Relationship and the simultaneous establishment of a new Relationship with the company or with another Group company.

The right of the Beneficiaries to exercise the Matured Options shall however be considered as suspended from the moment any letter regarding disciplinary action is sent and until conclusion of the disciplinary process.

The Board of Directors, having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, may in addition permit the Beneficiaries to exercise the Options, in full or in part, in the case of the consensual resolution of the Relationship by common agreement among the parties, while also having the faculty to assign the remaining unexercised options following interruption of the relationship with one or more Beneficiaries to other Beneficiaries of the

Plan, or to other parties identified in accordance with the criteria established by the Plan, establishing the relative maturation and exercise terms of such assigned Options.

Where after the Assignment Date a "change of control" takes place the Beneficiary is granted the faculty to continue their participation in the Plan according to the means, conditions and terms of the Regulation, subject to any differing contractual proposals put in place by the party which shall acquire control, or exercise the totality of the Assigned Options, so long as the relative Vesting Period has not yet concluded and independently of the achievement of the performance Objectives.

For the purposes of the Plan, a "change of control" is considered to have taken place where a party or a number of parties acting in concert (other than Alessandro Giglio and Meridiana Holding S.r.l and/or any of the entities controlled by the former), directly or indirectly, acquires a holding in the company, in relation to which:

(i) the obligation to promote a mandatory public purchase offer upon the ordinary shares of the company in accordance with the CFA arises for this party (or parties); or

(ii) this party (or parties) appoints or removes the majority of directors of the company.

4.9 Indication of any other causes of the Plan's annulment

Except for that indicated in other paragraphs of this Disclosure Document, no other causes for the annulment of the Plan exist.

4.10 Reasons behind any provision for the "redemption" by the company of the financial instruments subject to the plans, established as per Articles 2357 and subsequent of the Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption indicate whether such applies only to particular categories of employees; the effects of conclusion of the working relationship on this redemption

The Plan does not stipulate redemption clauses in favour of the company.

The Plan establishes revocation and return clauses. In particular, where the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, declares, within 3 years from conclusion of the Plan indicated at paragraph 4.3, that the Objectives had been considered on the basis of data which was manifestly erroneous, or where declaring the malicious alteration of the data used as the basis for the achievement of the Objectives, the Board of Directors, following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, reserves the right to obtain from the Beneficiaries or the Beneficiary responsible for one of the above-stated acts and/or events, revocation of the Options assigned, or the return of the Shares owned by the Beneficiary, less a number of shares corresponding to the exercise price of the Matured Options exercised and the tax, pension and social security charges related to the conversion of the exercised Matured Options effectively paid, or, the return of the sale value (less the amount corresponding to the exercise price of the converted Matured Options and the tax, pension and social security charges related to the exercise of the matured Options) where the shares of the Beneficiary have been sold.

4.11 Any loans or other supports considered to be provided for the acquisition of the shares in accordance with Article 2358 of the Civil Code

Not applicable, as the Plan provides for the free assignment of the Options and does not provide for loans or other supports in favour of the Beneficiaries, subject to that described at paragraph 4.6 concerning the "sell to cover", for the payment of the Exercise Price.

4.12 Indication on the valuations regarding the expected charge upon the company at the relative assignment date, as may be estimated on the basis of the terms and conditions thus far defined, for the total amount and in relation to each Plan instrument

Not applicable, as at the date of this Disclosure Document the Plan has not yet been approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of the company and, consequently, the Beneficiaries and the number of Options to be assigned to them has not yet been established.

4.13 Dilutive effects on the share capital deriving from the Plan

Full subscription of the share capital increase in service of the Plan following the exercise of all the Options, and assuming that further share capital increases are not undertaken, would result in a dilution for shareholders equal to 4.30% of the current share capital.

4.14 Any limits on voting rights and concerning the assignment of equity rights

No limits are stipulated for the exercise of voting rights and for the assignment of equity rights regarding the Shares from the exercise of the Options.

4.15 In the case in which the shares are not traded on regulated markets, all useful information for a comprehensive valuation

Not applicable, as the Shares are listed on the MTA.

4.16 Number of financial instruments underlying each option

Every 1 (one) Option assigned confers the right to the Beneficiary to subscribe or acquire 1 (one) Share.

4.17 Maturity of the Options

The maturity of the Options from the first tranche is established as four years from the Assignment Date, the date by which all of the Option rights concerning the first tranche which have matured and not lapsed should be exercised.

The maturity of the Options from the second tranche is established as five years from the Assignment Date, the date by which all of the Option rights concerning the second tranche which have matured and not lapsed should be exercised.

The maturity of the Options from the third tranche is established as five years from the Assignment Date, the date by which all of the Option rights concerning the third tranche which have matured and not lapsed should be exercised.

4.18 Timing method (American/European) (for example exercise periods) and exercise clauses (for example knock-in and knock-out clauses)

The Options, matured in the relative Vesting Period indicated in paragraph 4.2 above, shall be exercised according to the "American" method.

For the exercise periods and methods of the Options, reference should be made to paragraph 4.2 above.

4.19 Exercise price of the Option or measurement methods or criteria, with particular regard to: a) the formula for the calculation of the exercise price in relation to a set market price ("fair market value") (e.g.: exercise price at 90%, 100% or 110% of the market price), and b) the method for the calculation of the market price, considered for the calculation of the exercise price (e.g.: last price on the day preceding assignment, daily average, average over the last 30 days etc.);

The Exercise Price shall be calculated at the Assignment Date by the Board of Directors, having consulted with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, on the basis of the average official price of the company shares on the Italian Stock Exchange in the month preceding the option assignment date.

This criterion in line with best practice for listed companies with regards to the criterion adopted to establish the exercise price of shares in service of share incentive plans and was assessed by the Board of Directors as representative of the market price of the Shares.

4.20 In the case in which the exercise price is not equal to the set market price as indicated by point 4.19 (b) (fair market value), reasons for this difference

Reference should be made to paragraph 4.19 above.

4.21 Criteria upon which different exercise prices are considered between the various parties or various beneficiaries

Not applicable, as the Plan stipulates the same Exercise Price for all Beneficiaries.

4.22 In the case in which the underlying financial instruments to the Options are not traded on regulated markets, indication of the value attributable to the underlying instruments or their measurement criteria

Not applicable, as the Shares underlying the Options are traded on the MTA.

4.23 Criteria for adjustments necessary following extraordinary share capital operations or other operations affecting the number of underlying instruments (share capital increases, extraordinary dividends, reverse stock split and splits of underlying shares, mergers and spin-offs, conversions to other share classes etc.).

In the case of corporate transactions concerning the company or other events which may impact the Objectives, the Options, the shares or the Plan, the Board of Directors (having consulted the Appointments and Remuneration Committee) may apply to the Plan the amendments and supplements considered necessary and/or appropriate to maintain the essential content of the Plan, as far as possible, in accordance with the objectives and the goals pursued and the economic and equity rights recognised.

All amendments and supplements shall concern, among other matters, the number and the type of Shares subject of the Options, the Exercise Price, the Objectives, the Vesting Period, the Maturity Date and the Exercise Period.

The adjustment established by this paragraph, definitive and binding, shall be communicated in a timely manner in writing to the Beneficiaries.

Implementation of the Plan and the details set out in the summary table as per Article 4.24 of Schedule 7 of Annex 3A of the Issuers' Regulation shall be communicated according to the terms and means established by the applicable regulation.

The Plan shall be implemented subsequent to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting called for October 29, 2018.
