EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Intercos Remuneration Policy is closely related to the Company's business strategy, as described in the following paragraph; the ESG component, and in particular the sustainability of the Group's business strategy, is one of the founding and guiding elements of Intercos' work, which targets the creation of longterm value for the organization (in relation to internal stakeholders, such as the Group's human capital) and for society (with particular reference to external stakeholders, such as shareholders, suppliers and third parties in general) by integrating sustainability variables into the assessment of all aspects of the organization's context and processes.
"WE LIVE OUR VALUES", "WE CARE FOR PEOPLE" AND "WE BELIEVE IN SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY" ARE THE THREE MAIN GUIDELINES (ALSO OUTLINED IN THE INTERCOS CONSOLIDATED NON-FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 254/2016) THROUGH WHICH THIS ACTION IS EXPRESSED.

These aspects are dynamically incorporated into the Remuneration Policy also through the provision of sustainability KPIs within the long-term incentive system, as better described below.

INTERCOS BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Intercos Business Strategy, as envisaged in the Business Plan, is based on the following fundamental pillars, to which the Company's Remuneration Policy is linked as a fundamental tool for the pursuit of medium-long term strategic objectives:
The people strategy leverages the following guiding principles and connected processes and initiatives:
- People: ensuring an Employee Value Proposition that allows Intercos' staf who are the key and enabling factor in the company's sustainable success - to reach their full potential;
- Meritocracy: investing in, valuing, and rewarding staf who achieve signifcant performance thanks to behaviors that aligns with the Intercos leadership model;
- Innovation: equipping people and the company as a whole with innovative digital equipment, methods and tools, increasing the efectiveness and efciency of business processes and productivity;
- Customer-Centricity: developing, producing and delivering products and services that meet the real needs of customers in order to develop empathy with customers and build customer loyalty, generating business growth and efciency;
- Sustainability: to ensure Intercos' medium- and long-term commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the UN 2030 Agenda, particularly in terms of environmental sustainability, gender equality, and workplace safety.
The processes and initiatives respond to the people strategy's priorities and for the organization and its people throughout the various phases of the employee life cycle.
As part of this vision, and in line with the company's values ("We live our values"), Intercos' Leadership Model identifes conduct that is critical in supporting the business strategy and the creation of a welldefned, shared corporate culture.
INTERCOS PEOPLE STRATEGY
With specifc reference to the topic of "We care for People", Intercos is constantly committed to attracting, developing, retaining and engaging the best people in all the countries in which it operates, in order to guarantee, on the one hand, efective long-term leadership, and, on the other, the continuity of skills and excellence, both individual and company-wide, while always taking best market practices into consideration.
As such, the company has developed a People Strategy based on three fundamental pillars that function as enabling and preparatory factors in achieving the economic, fnancial, strategic and sustainability goals that the company has set out in its business plan:

AT THE SAME TIME IT MAINTAINS A SPECIAL FOCUS ON KEY PEOPLE WHO CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S OBJECTIVES, IN LINE WITH THE GROUP'S VALUES (WE LIVE OUR VALUES).
REMUNERATION POLICY
Intercos' Remuneration Policy, defned in accordance with the corporate governance model adopted by the Company and in line with the recommendations of the CG Code, is summarized below:
In line with its corporate values and the guidelines of its people Strategy, Intercos guarantees all its employees the same work opportunities and fair treatment in terms of regulations and remuneration. Intercos is committed to providing an inclusive working environment, free from discrimination of any kind, in which diferent personal and cultural characteristics and orientations are considered an asset. To this end, the Company not only undertakes to respect and apply the regulatory framework of the countries in which it operates, but also develops company policies aimed at guaranteeing equal opportunities for all the diferent types of workers, with the intention of discouraging the emergence of possible prejudice, harassment and discrimination of any kind (linked, for example, to race, nationality, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, age and disability), in full respect of human rights.
This context ensures that the key elements of the Remuneration Policy - and more generally of the management of its people - are the principle of internal equity and the enhancement of merit and of distinctive and critical professional skills. In fact, the Remuneration Policy is defned and implemented in full consistency with the process of strategic planning of human resources and the results of the assessments of the skills, potential and performance of individuals, while at the same time ensuring that it is aligned with best practices, trends, and the needs and legal frameworks of the markets in which the Group operates.

Chief Executive Ofcer and Executive
The 2024 Remuneration Policy was established with a view to continuity and consolidation with the previous year's Policy, in accordance with current mandatory regulatory requirements.
Despite obtaining broad agreement at the Shareholders' Meeting that approved the 2023 Remuneration Report, with a view to constantly improving the information contained within the Report, adopting market best practices, and incorporating guidance from institutional investors and proxy advisors, the Company has decided to make some additions to the 2024 Report to extend the communication ofered to the market and to share clear, complete, and comprehensive information, as described below.
Changes to Executive Director compensation packages (other than the Chief Executive Ofcer and the Chairperson)
Compared to the Remuneration Policy approved by the Company's Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, 2023, the Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors on February 29, 2024 on the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, contains the following proposed changes as regards the fxed component of the remuneration of Executive Directors (other than the Chief Executive Ofcer and the Chairperson) to be paid in addition to the gross annual fxed remuneration received for serving as a Board Director of Intercos:
• an increase in the gross annual fxed remuneration to be paid to Ludovica Arabella Ferrari for the position of Executive Director
of Intercos, from Euro 290,000.00 to Euro [330,000.00] (see section [2.3.3] below);
• an increase in the fxed gross annual remuneration to be paid to Gianandrea Ferrari for the position of Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Ofcer of Intercos Europe S.p.A., from Euro 200,000 to Euro [215,000.00] (see section [2.3.3] below).
The compensation review was consistent with the Executive Directors' compensation benchmarks and took into account the internal reorganization of the Intercos Group. This provided for expanded roles and increased responsibilities for the aforementioned Executive Directors and was approved by the Board of Directors on February 29, 2024 following consultation with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
Working conditions of employees
The executive summary was expanded as it was considered important to devote a specifc section to Intercos' People Strategy. The objective of this change is to provide a comprehensive and detailed view on the subject and, in general, on the main initiatives in place to foster employee training, growth, welfare and well-being. The inclusion of this specifc section in the Remuneration Report demonstrates Intercos' commitment to valuing and supporting its people, recognizing the importance of investing in them for the Company's success and sustainability.
Peer Group criteria
To ensure greater clarity and completeness regarding the crite-
ria used to determine the Remuneration Policy, it was deemed appropriate to provide further details on the work to defne the Peer Group for the fgures to referred to in the Report: Chief Executive Ofcer, Executive Chairperson, Executive Directors, Senior Executives. This addition provides more tools for the reader to understand the underlying reasons behind the choice of Peer Group companies.
Short-term variable incentive plan (2024 STI)
To broaden and enrich disclosure on the objectives of the short-term variable incentive system (2024 STI) and the link between bonus and performance, a table has been added that provides a summary of the economic and fnancial objectives underlying the system and the relationship between performance and the related bonus.
Work of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee plays a key role in defning the Remuneration Policy. It was therefore deemed useful to include a detailed outline of the Committee's activities in FY2023, consistent with the recommendations set out in the Corporate Governance Code and current regulations, and to provide evidence of the commitment and efort made by the Committee members themselves.

The Board of Directors determines the remuneration of the Directors vested with special ofces in compliance with the By-Laws and for their participation in the Board Committees, having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
In particular, the ARC, exercising its powers also as provided for in the CG Code, assists the BoD in the elaboration of the Remuneration Policy by formulating proposals regarding the structure and relative contents and, together with the BoD, monitors its correct implementation, as well as the need to make any revisions.
The BoD is, therefore, the board responsible for approving the Remuneration Policy, based on the proposal made by the ARC.

1.7 PROCESS FOR DEFINING AND APPROVING THE REMUNERATION POLICY
The Remuneration Policy is submitted to the Board of Directors for approval by the ARC. In drafting the policy, the ARC involves the Human Resources, Organization & Sustainability Function, also with the aim of gathering market data in terms of practices, policies and benchmarking, ensuring regulatory compliance, and in order to better elaborate the policy and, where necessary, also independent experts in the feld.
The Board of Directors, on the proposal of the ARC, defnes and adopts the Remuneration Policy in its form and internal regulatory sources and, specifcally, the related content as summarized in the paragraphs relating to the Remuneration Policy for members of the Board of Directors and the SEs and the incentive plans. After examining and approving the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors submits this to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting, making it available at least 21 days before the date of the Shareholders' Meeting through the publication of the Remuneration Policy and Report.
The full text of the Remuneration Policy and Report was reviewed in advance by the ARC on February 20, 2024, and then approved by the Board of Directors on February 29, 2024.
IF THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING DOES NOT APPROVE THE REMUNERATION POLICY SUBMITTED FOR A VOTE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 123, PARAGRAPH 3-BIS OF THE CFA, INTERCOS WILL CONTINUE TO PAY REMUNERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICY LAST SUBMITTED FOR A VOTE AT THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING DURING THE MOST RECENT YEAR, 2023. IN THIS CASE, INTERCOS SHALL SUBMIT A NEW REMUNERATION POLICY TO A VOTE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS, AT THE LATEST AT THE NEXT SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE 2364, PARAGRAPH 2, OF THE CIVIL CODE.
Finally, it should be noted that the "Related Party Transactions Policy" - preliminarily adopted on July 20, 2021 and subsequently approved in its fnal version by the Board of the Directors on December 16, 2021, with the favorable opinion of the Related Party Transactions Committee - (the "RPT Policy") excludes from the application of the policy:
- a) motions passed by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code, concerning the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee (if established);
- b) motions concerning the remuneration of Directors vested with special ofces, within the overall amount previously determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code;
- c) motions passed by the Shareholders' Meeting as per Article 2402 of the Civil Code, concerning remuneration of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The RPT Policy does not apply, moreover, to motions on remuneration other than those referred to in letters a) and b) above, as well as to other Senior Executives, provided that:
- I. Intercos has adopted a remuneration policy, which is subject to a binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting;
- II. in the drawing up of the remuneration policy a committee exclusively made up of Non-Executive Directors, the majority of whom independent, was involved; and
- III. the remuneration assigned to each Director or Senior Executive is consistent with the policy adopted and quantifed on the basis of criteria that do not imply discretionary assessments.

1.8 PROCESS FOR TEMPORARY WAIVER OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
The Company has a process in place for temporary waiver of the Remuneration Policy if exceptional circumstances arise where waiver of the Policy is necessary in the furtherance of the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole, or to ensure the Company's ability to compete in the marketplace.
"Exceptional Circumstances" include, but are not limited to:
- (i) the occurrence, at national or international level, of extraordinary and unforeseeable events concerning the Company and/or the sectors and/or markets in which it operates, which signifcantly afect the Company's results, including the occurrence of signifcant negative efects not only of an economic or fnancial nature;
- (ii) the intervention of substantial changes in the organization of the business activity, both of an objective nature (such as corporate transactions, mergers, disposals, etc.), and of a subjective nature, such as changes in the top management and the possible identifcation of persons (other than Directors and Statutory Auditors) qualifying as Senior Executives for the purposes of this Remuneration Policy;
- (iii) signifcant changes in the perimeter of the company's activity during the period of validity of the Remuneration Policy, such as the sale of a company/business unit on whose activity the performance targets of the Remuneration Policy were based, or the acquisition of a signifcant business not contemplated for the purposes of the preparation of the Remuneration Policy.
The ARC, supported by the Human Resources, Organization & Sustainability Function, is the board entrusted with the task of verifying the presence of such exceptional situations and formulating proposals for temporary exceptions to the Remuneration Policy to the Board of Directors, which has been identifed as the board entrusted with the approval of such temporary exceptions.
Without prejudice to the above, the exception to the Remuneration Policy may concern: (i) the redefnition of the performance targets to which the variable remuneration is linked and of the periodicity with which they are set; (ii) the review of the criteria used to assess the targets; (iii) the change in the ratio between fxed and variable components of remuneration; (iv) the allocation of one-of cash bonuses; (v) the allocation of special indemnities, in order to take into account the aforementioned exceptional circumstances and only if instrumental to the pursuit of the aforementioned interests.
With regard to these exceptions, the opinion of the Related Party Transactions Committee must be obtained, following the relevant procedure set out by the Company.
ANY EXCEPTIONS APPROVED, WHICH MAY RELATE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED ELEMENTS OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY, WILL BE DISCLOSED THROUGH THE SUBSEQUENT REMUNERATION POLICY AND REPORT, ACCOMPANIED BY THE REASONS THAT PROMPTED THE COMPANY TO MAKE SUCH AN EXCEPTION.
2.1 REMUNERATION POLICY OBJECTIVES
The Remuneration Policy provides that the amount of remuneration and the balance between the fxed and variable components of the remuneration of Directors and SEs are aimed at aligning the interests of the benefciaries with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating value for shareholders over the medium/long term.
In this regard, these remuneration elements are defned consistently with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, also taking into account the category, organizational level, responsibilities and professional skills of the benefciaries and also taking into account the recommendations of the CG Code and the interests of other stakeholders relevant to the Group ("Sustainable Success"). In particular, the Remuneration Policy is closely related to Sustainable Success and is inspired by the three main guidelines "We live our values", "We care for people" and "We believe in sustainable beauty", described in the introductory section, through which the work of the Company is expressed, and is designed to:
and the Group, in accordance with the principles of plurality, equal opportunities, enhancement of people's knowledge and professionalism, fairness, respect for diversity
- (i) contribute to the creation of value, aligning the interests of management with the Company's strategies, by linking the Remuneration Policy with the Company's business results, also by sharing with the professionals within the Company, the increase in value of the Company and of the Group;
- (ii) guarantee the correct preparation, implementation and possible revision, as well as the efective monitoring, of the remuneration and incentive systems, ensuring that the remuneration systems referred - in particular - to the Executive Directors and SEs contribute (a) to the pursuit and achievement of the corporate objectives, of the medium/long term corporate interests and of the Sustainable Success objective and (b) to prudent risk management, through:
-
- promote actions and behaviors that are in line with the values and culture of the Company and integrity;
-
- promote actions and behaviors that are targeted at creating and ensuring sustainable working conditions and standards;
-
- (iii) ensure a transparent remuneration and incentive system designed to attract, motivate and retaining key people for the Group with the specifc skills and expertise critical to the achievement of the Sustainable Success objective, through:
-
- recognition of the roles and responsibilities assigned, the results achieved and the quality of the professional contribution of individuals;
-
- guaranteeing the principles of proportionality and internal equity and the link between collective agreements in force;
-
company strategy and remuneration instruments, as well as the adequacy of remuneration and compensation with respect to the role covered, taking into account the complexity of the functions assigned and the relative responsibilities, as well as assessing the skills and abilities demonstrated, without prejudice to compliance with the legal provisions applicable to Intercos and the provisions of the national and company

-
- support for competitiveness, in terms of balance and consistency of remuneration levels with respect to the market for similar positions and roles of similar level of responsibility and complexity, all as also resulting from appropriate benchmark analyses; and
-
- the drive to retain key Group staf;
- (iv) ensure that the remuneration systems enhance performance by contributing to: a) the achievement of the Company's strategic objectives, the pursuit of medium/long-term corporate interests and Sustainable Success; and b) the prudent management of risk, also by constantly monitoring the efectiveness and reviewing the remuneration and incentive systems, by means of:
-
- the defnition of remuneration and incentive systems linked to the achievement of (a) economic/ fnancial, (b) non-fnancial (including environmental and/or social sustainability and/or governance ("ESG") targets and (c) the development of operational and individual activities and responsibilities, defned with a view to the pursuit of results in the medium/long term, in line with the guidelines of the Group's strategic and/or business plans and with the responsibilities assigned;
-
- the guarantee that the variable components of remuneration (short and/or medium-long term) are not based on results that have been altered or shown to be manifestly incorrect.
-
2.2 PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
The general principles underlying the Remuneration Policy are as follows:
- (i) establish the procedures for determining the remuneration of Directors and, in particular, Executive Directors and those holding particular ofces - of other SEs, in compliance with applicable regulations and in accordance with national and international best practices, as also refected in the criteria, principles and recommendations of the self-regulation applicable to Intercos;
- (ii) identify, in particular, the parties and/or boards involved in the preparation, approval, implementation, monitoring and review of the Remuneration Policy and, more generally, of the remuneration procedures, which - according to their respective duties - (a) propose, deliberate and/or determine the remuneration of the Directors, and of the other SEs, (b) express opinions on the subject, or (c) are called upon to verify and monitor the correct implementation of what has been deliberated and determined by the competent boards;
- (iii) to guarantee adequate transparency in terms of remuneration for both current and potential investors, by fully formalizing (a) the related decision-making processes and (b) the criteria underlying the Remuneration Policy; and
- (iv) to make the various boards and individuals responsible for determining the remuneration of Directors and other SEs and, within the limits set by Article 2402 of the Civil Code, of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Remuneration Policy shall be in efect for one year from the date of its approval by the shareholders.
Finally, we note that the Company periodically checks staf remuneration levels by comparing them with the market, including with the help of independent remuneration experts, through specifc benchmarking activities. For greater overall consistency, the Committee used the frm Mercer to conduct the compensation benchmarking activities for the Executive Chairperson, Chief Executive Ofcer, Executive Directors, and the SEs. Benchmarking included the preliminary creation of a Peer Group proposal by Mercer, using a standard methodology based on the application of qualitative-quantitative criteria and adopted by other listed companies in the Italian market. The Peer Group proposal was subsequently approved by the Committee.
The Peer Groups identifed for each role are as follows:
As compared to 2023, we note that the Executive Chairperson Peer Group remains unchanged. By contrast, three companies (Biesse, Datalogic and Saflo Group) have been excluded from the Chief Executive Ofcer Peer Group since, at the date the 2024 Remuneration Policy was defned, they were listed on the FTSE Small Cap of the Euronext index in Milan, whereas in the same period last year they were - like Intercos - listed on the FTSE Mid Cap index. They have been replaced by four companies listed on the FTSE Mid Cap, chosen using the same criteria as previously described. These companies are Ariston Holding, Cementir, GVS and SOL.
2.3 CONTENT AND BENEFICIARIES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
The Remuneration Policy is based (i) on a fxed component and (ii) on a variable incentive component, linked to the achievement of predetermined performance targets of a fnancial and non-fnancial nature (including ESG targets) that can be objectively measured.
The variable component may consist of cash remuneration (bonuses or other monetary incentives) and/ or the allocation of fnancial instruments and/or a share in the profts for the year.
The balance between the fxed and variable components of remuneration must be appropriate and consistent with (i) the Sustainable Success objective, (ii) the strategic objectives and (iii) the Group's risk management policy, and is also determined in light of the characteristics of the Company's business and sector.
The fxed component of remuneration rewards skill levels and experience and remunerates Directors and SEs in accordance with their role and associated responsibilities. Moreover, the fxed component - in compliance with the applicable legal regulations and in line with the criteria, principles and recommendations of the self-governance code - is determined so as to adequately remunerate the activities carried out, also

PEER GROUP
2.3.1 Remuneration of Directors not holding special ofces
"Non-Executive Directors" are those Directors who do not hold individual management powers and do not hold managerial positions.
"Independent Directors" are those Directors who meet the independence requirements set out in Article 148, paragraph 3 of the CFA and Article 2 of the CG Code.
The Non-Executive Directors and the Independent Directors are recognized a remuneration established by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 2389 of the Civil Code.
If the Shareholders' Meeting has not done so, the Board of Directors shall allocate the total remuneration established by the Shareholders' Meeting.
Non-Executive Directors and Independent Directors do not receive variable remuneration and are not benefciaries of remuneration plans based on fnancial instruments.
Each member of the Board of Directors is also reimbursed for documented expenses incurred in the performance of their ofce.
Non-Executive Directors and Independent Directors may receive an additional fxed annual remuneration as members of committees set up within the Board of Directors, with an additional amount if the Director holds the position of Chairperson of the Committee.
The remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors is appropriate for the skill, professionalism, and commitment required by the tasks associated with their role on the Board of Directors and, where appropriate, on the internal Board committees.
In any case, such remuneration is deemed sufcient to attract, motivate and retain Directors with the professional qualities required to successfully manage the Company.
in the event that the variable component of the remuneration is not paid due to the failure to achieve the related objectives.
The aforementioned variable remuneration, in turn, consists of (i) a short-term variable component (Short Term Incentive or STI), linked to the achievement of pre-established short-term performance targets (mainly of a fnancial nature) (ii) to which a medium/long term variable remuneration component (Long Term Incentive or LTI) may be added aimed at directing the actions of the benefciaries towards the achievement of pre-established medium/long term targets (of a fnancial and non-fnancial nature), enabling them to beneft from the creation of value for the Group and to retain the key resources of Intercos (retention).
Specifcally, the STI variable component is linked to pre-established corporate and individual targets, mainly of a fnancial nature (targets of a non-fnancial nature are assigned exclusively to the SEs and to the Executive Directors other than the Chief Executive Ofcer). Targets are objectively measurable over a 12 (twelve) month time horizon.
The LTI variable component is linked to pre-established corporate targets of a fnancial and non-fnancial nature, diferent from those covered by the STI component and objectively measurable over a time horizon of 36 (thirty-six) months.
The Remuneration Policy establishes that the remuneration of Directors who do not hold special ofces (including Independent Directors) shall be fxed and adequate in relation to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the tasks assigned to them within the Board of Directors and any internal Board committees.
2.3.2 Chairperson of the Board of Directors
Pay mix
The compensation package provided for the Chairperson of the Board of Directors includes only a fxed component - arising from the role of Executive Chairperson.
Fixed remuneration
The 2024 Remuneration Policy for the Executive Chairperson provides for a maximum compensation limit of Euro 1,640,000.00. Within this amount, the newly appointed Board of Directors will defne remuneration on the basis of the powers granted, taking into account the profle of the recipient and the remuneration benchmarks.
Non-monetary benefts
The Remuneration Policy allows the assignment of non-monetary benefts to Executive Directors (including the Chairperson) (including, but not limited to, cell phones and laptop computers, company cars, supplementary health and accident, disability and death insurance coverage), in line with practices and in compliance with the criteria set out in the Remuneration Policy. Moreover, the Company may take out for Executive Directors (including the Chairperson) the following insurance policies or social security or pension coverage, other than the compulsory and supplementary policies, with diferent terms and conditions and maximum amounts from time to time: supplementary life policy; accident policy - professional and extra-professional; supplementary health policy.
Indemnity in the case of dismissal or termination of employment
There are currently no agreements in place between the Company and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors that govern treatment in the event of termination of ofce or termination of employment except, in each case, as required by law. Finally, we note that no further non-monetary benefts are envisaged in favor of the Chairperson or the stipulation of consultancy contracts with the latter for a period following termination of the relationship.
Non-competition agreements
At the Reporting Date, there are no non-competition agreements between the Company and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors that provide for the payment of consideration in relation to the obligation arising from the agreement.
2.3.3 Chief Executive Ofcer and other Executive Directors
Pay mix
The compensation package provided for the Chief Executive Ofcer includes a fxed component and a shortterm and long-term variable component.
Taking into account the variable remuneration described below, the Chief Executive Ofcer's pay mix is as follows:
Pay mix - Chief Executive Ofcer Target and Maximum

| 60% | |||
| 70% | |||

| 90% | |||
| 100% |
Fixed remuneration
The fxed component is commensurate with the responsibilities, skills and professional specialization associated with the position/function held by the person concerned. This component, which is not linked to the achievement of performance targets, is determined in an amount sufcient to remunerate the performance of the persons concerned in the event that the variable components are not paid due to the failure to achieve the targets indicated by the Board to which these variable remuneration components are subordinate and based.
In any case, the 2024 Remuneration Policy provides that the fxed [gross annual] remuneration (to be understood as including the fxed gross annual remuneration for the ofce of Director of Intercos) attributable:
- to the Chief Executive Ofcer, gross annual remuneration of Euro 800,000.00 pro rata temporis (including the amount recognized for the Non-Competition Agreement), and in any case without prejudice to any further remuneration of a variable nature attributed to the same;
- to Executive Director Ludovica Arabella Ferrari for the position of Executive Director of Intercos, gross annual remuneration of Euro 355,000.00 pro rata temporis, and in any case without prejudice to any further remuneration of a variable nature attributed to the same;

Short-term variable incentive: STI
The annual incentive system (so-called STI), designed in line with the general principles on which the entire Remuneration Policy is based, mainly enables the pursuit of the following objectives:
- align management objectives with business strategies, directing management actions toward strategic objectives in harmony with business priorities;
- stimulate the achievement of excellent performance, through the recognition of a higher premium in the event of overperformance;
- manage and monitor short-term performance through annual assessment of the benefciary's performance.
The Chief Executive Ofcer's STI system for 2024, consistent with the nature and powers of this position, provides exclusively for Group targets of an economic and fnancial nature, as described below:
Similarly, the compensation package envisaged for the other Executive Directors (other than the Chairperson) includes a fxed component and a short-term and long-term variable component, and the related pay mix is shown below:

Incentive curves
The amount of incentive actually disbursed varies according to the degree to which the goals assigned to individual targets are achieved.
Specifcally, there is a linear curve for economic/fnancial and equity targets, which sets the minimum payout at 50% of the target bonus upon minimum achievement of the targets and its maximum value at 150% of the target bonus, awarded in the event of performance exceeding the targets. Intermediate payout results will therefore be calculated by linear interpolation, according to the system set out below:
ON THE OTHER HAND, WITH REGARD TO TARGETS INVOLVING QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT, A "STEP CURVE" APPLIES; THIS CURVE SETS THE MINIMUM PAYOUT AT 50% OF THE TARGET BONUS AND THE MAXIMUM PAYOUT AT 150% OF THE ASSIGNED TARGET BONUS. NO INTERMEDIATE LEVELS OF BONUS PAYMENT ARE SET.

Long-term variable incentive: LTI
In order to contribute to the achievement of long-term strategic objectives, the Company adopts a long-term incentive system that is designed to:
- guarantee the correlation between the interests of management and the creation of value for the shareholders in the long term, through the introduction in the remuneration structure of the benefciaries of an economic incentive linked to the achievement of challenging long term company performance targets, directly linked to the value of the share and to indicators, including those of a non-economic nature;
- reward long-term performance through annual allocations (rolling) consistent with strategic objectives;
- build the loyalty of the benefciaries during the period of the plan, by conditioning the economic incentive envisaged by the plan to the continuation of the employment relationship with the Group for the period of the plan.
In 2023, Intercos introduced an equity-based long-term incentive plan, divided into three rolling cycles, each lasting three years (2023-2025, 2024-2026, 2025-2027), that was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on March 14, 2023, having received the favorable opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee on March 7, 2023.
It is recalled that the Shareholders' Meeting of April 28, 2023 approved the "2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan" which comprises the frst cycle of the incentive plan. On February 29, 2024, on the Committee proposal of February 20, 2024 and in line with the general structure of the "2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan", the Board of Directors approved the proposal to adopt the "2024-2026 Performance Shares Plan" (the "2024-2026 Plan"). This will be submitted for approval to the Intercos Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2023 fnancial statements.
The objective of the LTI Plan is to grant certain employees and Directors of the Group the conditional, free of charge and non-transferable right by inter vivos deed to receive, in the event of the achievement of certain performance targets and a sustainability objective in continuation of their employment relationship with the companies of the Group. The 2024-2026 Plan provides for the grant of up to a maximum total of 462,400 rights to receive ordinary Company shares, also free of charge, in the ratio of 1 share, - with regular dividend entitlement - for every 1 right accrued, subject to the achievement of certain performance and sustainability targets. This 2024-2026 Plan, described in detail in the relevant Disclosure Document prepared in accordance with Article 114-bis of the CFA and Article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation, was made available to the public within the terms and in the manner prescribed by law and regulation and reference should be made to it for any detailed information regarding the plan. It constitutes further progress in continuously improving Intercos' Remuneration Policy, with a view to aligning the interests of management and those of shareholders ever more closely.
The 2024-2026 Plan has a three-year performance period. The shares granted to each benefciary under the 2024-2026 Plan will be subject to a lock-up restriction period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of their allocation.
In any case, the Board of Directors will put in place a procedure allowing the benefciaries to opt, when the shares are allocated, for a cashless method consisting in the simultaneous sale of the portion of shares needed to pay the withholding tax (sell-to-cover method).
The main features of the 2024-2026 Plan, which is the second cycle of the LTI Plan and will have the threeyear time horizon of 2024-2026, are described below.
2024–2026 Incentive plan
As mentioned above, for the current year, the 2024-2026 Plan - which constitutes the second cycle of the performance share-based LTI Plan for 2024-2026 - will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting on April 11, 2024, as described in more detail in the following section, which fts into the general structure outlined above with reference to the Intercos Group's long-term incentive system. The 2024-2026 Plan is reserved for benefciaries (employees and Directors of the Group) identifed by the Board of Directors or to be identifed by name by the Board of Directors upon the proposal of the Chief

The STI system of the other Executive Directors (other than the Chief Executive Ofcer and the Chairperson) for 2024 provides for the same operating mechanisms as those envisaged for the Chief Executive Ofcer, with an STI target value for those persons between 30% and 40% of the fxed remuneration and with a max payout opportunity between 45% and 60% of this remuneration and the provision economic/fnancial targets, as described below:
Executive Ofcer, no later than December 31, 2024, from among the managers of the Company or its subsidiaries (including Executive Directors and SEs) who hold positions with the greatest impact on the Company's results or with strategic importance for the achievement of the Group's long-term objectives.
Specifcally, the 2024-2026 plan provides for:
-
- Two performance targets, in terms of Relative Total Shareholder Return (weighting of 45%) and Earning per Share at consolidated level (weighting of 35%) - which will must be verifed by the Board of Directors on the approval of the Group's consolidated fnancial statements at December 31, 2026;
-
- A sustainability target (with a weighting of 20%), linked to the reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 Emissions to 2026 as detailed below.
The performance targets and the sustainability target are independent, i.e., achieving the minimum value of at least one performance target or the sustainability target will result in the allocation of shares under the 2024-2026 Plan.
The verifcation of the achievement of the targets for the period 2024-2026, for the determination of the number of shares to be granted, was made by the Board of Directors, based on the target number of shares established for each benefciary, up to a maximum number of shares equal to 170% of the target number.
Each target uses the following pay-out curve:
In particular, Intercos' positioning in the relevant peer group5

Other long-term incentive plans
We note that Intercos currently has two other equity-based incentive plans in place: namely, the 2022- 2024 Performance Shares Plan and the 2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan.
Under this share plan, shareholder value growth that is persistent and sustainable over time and that allows for greater alignment with market practices, CG Code guidance, and Strategic Plan targets may be rewarded.
For details regarding the 2022-2024 Performance Shares Plan and the and the 2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan, see the Remuneration Report for fscal years 2022 and 2023 respectively, available on the Company's website (in the "Governance" section), and Section II of this Report.
Good and bad leaver and clawback clauses
The long-term incentive plans provide for good and bad leaver clauses and clawback clauses in cases where it is ascertained that the shares were allocated (i) in the event that the benefciary violated company or legal regulations or was guilty of willful or grossly negligent conduct aimed at altering the data used to achieve the performance targets, or (ii) on the basis of data that subsequently turned out to be manifestly incorrect.
Retention bonuses and other types of monetary incentives
The Company may provide for the payment of retention bonuses to Executive Directors (including the Chief Executive Ofcer and excluding the Executive Chairperson), in exceptional cases and subject to the opinion of the ARC, in order to encourage the retention of resources with specifc skills and high-level professionalism deemed necessary for the achievement of the Group's objectives.
In particular, there is a retention bonus for the Chief Executive Ofcer which may be paid as of 5 years from the date of Listing and is quantifed on the basis of the increase in market capitalization of 100% of the Company's shares, determined on the basis of the weighted average price of the shares as recorded on the target date (ffth anniversary of Listing) and in the 29 market days prior to that date, provided that the Director holds ofce continuously during the period considered and excluding any discretionary mechanism for the allocation and quantifcation of the bonus.
Solely for the purposes of completeness, it should be noted that the Chief Executive Ofcer, in addition
to the incentive and retention plan granted to him by the Company, is also the benefciary of a separate retention plan that provides for the payment of a cash bonus of Euro 680,000.00 on each anniversary of the Trading Commencement Date for a period of 5 years (i.e. until November 2, 2026), conditional solely on his remaining in ofce as Chief Executive Ofcer of Intercos, specifying that the payment of this bonus will be borne exclusively by the controlling shareholder of Intercos (through its subsidiary Dafe 3000 S.r.l.) and that the aforementioned plan does not entail any obligation for Intercos.
Non-monetary benefts
The Chief Executive Ofcer and other Executive Directors may be eligible for the same non-monetary benefts provided under the Remuneration Policy for the Chairperson.
Indemnity in the case of dismissal or termination of employment
There are currently no agreements in place between the Company and the Chief Executive Ofcer that govern treatment in the event of termination of ofce or termination of employment except, in each case, as required by law. The same applies in the case of Executive Directors. In this regard, it should be noted that no further non-monetary benefts are envisaged in favor of the Chief Executive Ofcer or the other Executive Directors or the stipulation of consultancy contracts with these latter for a period following termination of the relationship.
Non-competition agreements
The Company has entered into a non-competition agreement with the Chief Executive Ofcer valid for twelve months from the date of termination of his ofce in return for remuneration equal to 11% of the related fxed remuneration on an annual basis, the amount of which is paid on a continuing basis. There are no non-competition agreements with the other Executive Directors.

Special bonus
The Company may, in exceptional cases, decide to award special bonuses, for specifc transactions deemed exceptional in terms of strategic importance and efect on Intercos' results, subject to the prior opinion of the ARC and subject to the application of the Related Party Transactions Policy (where applicable). The ARC will analyze the reasons for considering the award of this exceptional form of remuneration and specifcally it will:
- Verify that such award creates real value for the shareholder through a tangible and material efect on the Company's income statement;
- Ensure that the performance being assessed has not already been recognized in the structural variable incentive plans (STI and LTI).
The fnal decision on the award of the Special bonus will rest with the Intercos Board of Directors through specifc resolution.
Indemnity in the case of dismissal or termination of employment
In the event of early termination of the employment relationship at the Company's initiative, amounts may be paid in the form of ex-ante agreements or at the time of termination, defned taking into account the responsibilities entrusted and the work performed. Specifcally, the Company, on the occasion of and in connection with the termination of the employment relationship, may grant individual SEs additional economic benefts with respect to what is owed pursuant to the provisions of current law and applicable national and company collective bargaining agreements.
In addition, SEs may be granted a severance indemnity in accordance with the national collective bargaining agreement relevant from time to time, not linked to performance criteria. In any case, both the above additional remuneration and the severance indemnity may not exceed 24 months' salary, and must be within the limits provided for by the applicable national collective bargaining agreements (CCNL). We also note that, in cases of good leaver, the SEs maintain the rights allocated as part of long-term incentive plans and that, if the relationship is terminated before the expiry of the related plan, these rights shall be calculated pro-rata temporis.
Subject to the above, no further non-monetary benefts are provided for SEs or the stipulation of consultancy contracts for a period following termination of the employment relationship.
Non-competition agreements
At present, with reference to the SEs, in cases where they have such know-how and skills that the termination of the employment relationship could entail risks for the Company, the latter can apply noncompetition agreements, the amount of which is defned within 75% of the gross annual remuneration and disbursed after the termination of the employment relationship, against agreements which, as a rule, have a duration of one year.
entire managerial population. In particular, the Remuneration Policy envisages the possibility of carrying out salary adjustments aimed at aligning remuneration levels with the market, for resources that have expanded their responsibilities or role, as well as persons in organizational positions considered critical to Intercos' business. It is also possible to provide for the payment of a one-of sum in extraordinary situations involving a limited number of resources, in the presence of excellent performance on activities/projects of a strategic nature for the Company, or in consideration of attraction and retention requirements.
Short-term variable incentive: STI
The STI for SEs is aligned in operation with the short-term incentive system for the Chief Executive Ofcer and Executive Directors (other than the Chairperson):

2.6EXCEPTIONS TO THE REMUNERATION POLICY
Efective August 4, 2023, Director Gianandrea Ferrari was appointed Chief Executive Ofcer of the subsidiary Intercos India. Following this appointment, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee reviewed his compensation package, given the new role and expanded responsibilities of the Director, formerly Chief Executive Ofcer of the subsidiary Intercos Europe, and based on the remuneration benchmarks carried out, as follows:
- Increase in fxed remuneration for the role of Chairperson and Director of Intercos Europe and Chief Executive Ofcer of Intercos India from Euro 200,000.00 to Euro 215,000.00;
- Recognition of variable compensation (exceptional bonus) linked to Intercos India's threeyear plan.
The proposed new compensation package was not foreseeable at the time the 2023 Remuneration Policy was drafted and was a temporary departure from the provisions of Section 2.3.3 of the 2023 Remuneration Policy.
At its meeting on July 27, 2023 and with the support of the Human Resources, Organization & SA Function, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee verifed that the case in question constituted an "exceptional circumstance" under the defnition given in Paragraph 1.8 of the 2023 Remuneration Policy. The planned temporary waiver procedure adopted by Intercos in compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 49 of May 10, 2019 was therefore applied. The Committee then expressed a positive opinion regarding the proposal to increase and modify Director Gianandrea Ferrari's remuneration, temporarily deviating from the Remuneration Policy 2023 and delegating any appropriate determination in this regard to the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion and resolution of the Related Party Transactions Committee.
On August 3, 2023, having noted the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and the favorable opinion expressed by the Related Party Transactions Committee, the Board of Directors approved the proposed change to Director Gianandrea Ferrari's compensation package. Directors Gianandrea Ferrari, Ludovica Arabella Ferrari and Board of Directors' Chairperson Dario Gianandrea Ferrari abstained from the vote after declaring a confict of interest regarding the motion.
Director Gianandrea Ferrari subsequently waived the change in his compensation package for 2023 (increase in fxed remuneration and recognition of an exceptional bonus), therefore receiving in 2023 the fxed compensation previously defned under the 2023 Compensation Policy, i.e.:
- Euro 25,000.00 for the position of Executive Director of Intercos S.p.A.;
- Euro 200,000.00 for the position of Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Ofcer of Intercos Europe S.p.A.
2.7 VARIABLE COMPONENT EX-POST CORRECTION MECHANISMS
In 2023 no ex-post correction mechanisms - such as malus or clawback - were applied to the variable components.
