The Board of Directors has called, in ordinary for April 27, 2016, and, if necessary, on second call on April 28, 2016, to submit for your approval, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the TUF, the adoption of the Employee Share Ownership Plan (the "Plan") dedicated to employees of Maire Tecnimont Group Companies for the three-years period 2016-2018.
This Report aims to explain the reasons and the content of the proposal related to the above mentioned Plan, referring to the illustration of its analytical contents and details to the Information Document concerning the 2016-2018 Employee Share Ownership Plan, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of TUF and Art. 84-bis of Consob's Issuers Regulation.
1. Reasons for adopting the Plan
The purpose of the Plan is the gratuitous grant of Shares to all employees, upon the achievement of specific Group performance objectives, related to the Company's growth in value and long-term profitability, referred to the Group Net Income and the Total Revenues of Maire Tecnimont Group. The aims of the Plan can be summarised as follows:
- extending to all the employees the opportunity to participate in the Company's share capital;
- aligning the employees' and Shareholders' interests to the common goal of creating value in the long period; and
- enhancing the employees' sense of belonging to the Maire Tecnimont Group.
2. Beneficiaries
The Plan envisages the participation of all employees, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Fabrizio Di Amato, and the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Pierroberto Folgiero. Said executive Directors shall participate in the Plan, which is addressed to employees, as employees of the Company. With regard to the beneficiaries indicated by name above, it is specified that the package deriving from the Plan will represent a mere negligible portion of the overall remuneration granted to them, not exceeding 1% of said overall remuneration.
The Company reserves the right, at its undisputable discretion, to exclude employees of Italian and/or foreign subsidiaries from the Plan, due to the legal nature of these subsidiaries or due to the existence of local statutory, regulatory, tax or management restrictions that may expose the Company to potential risks and/or make the implementation and/or administrative management of the Plan exceedingly complex or burdensome.
To ensure the compliance of the Plan with local legislation, in the implementation phase of the Plan, the detailed requirements for the employees who operate in foreign Countries may be defined.
3. Terms and conditions for the implementation of the Plan, specifying whether its implementation is subject to certain conditions and, in particular, to the achievement of certain results.
The Plan provides for the free Award of Rights to receive Shares to the beneficiaries, based on the achievement of Group performance objectives, referred to the Group Net Income and the Total Revenues of Maire Tecnimont Group.
Upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, the identification of the details of the performance objectives of the Plan will be made by the Board of Directors or by the person delegated by the latter to do so, subsequently to the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders Meeting.
4. Support for the Plan from the Special Fund for Incentivising the Participation of Workers in Businesses under Art. 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003.
The Plan is not supported by the Special Fund for Incentivising Workers' Participation in Enterprises, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law No. 350 of 24 December 2003.
5. Criteria for the calculation of the share purchase price.
Not applicable.
6. Any restrictions on transfer attached to the allotted instruments or to the instruments granted as a result of the exercise of the options, with specific reference to the terms within which the transfer to the company or third parties is prohibited or permitted.
