MAIRE
for your approval as item no. 2 on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting, which will be made available to the public within the terms and according to the procedures set forth by law and regulations.
1. Reasons for the Plan
On March 4, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved, with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee (the "Remuneration Committee") and after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors for matters within its competence, the proposal to submit to the Shareholders' Meeting the adoption, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the CFA, of the 2026-2028 LTI Plan, which provides for the Award to beneficiaries of rights to receive free of charge treasury Shares held in portfolio (the "Rights"), subject to the conditions and terms set forth in the Plan itself.
The 2026 Remuneration Policy is aimed at attracting and retaining people with the skills and professional qualities required by the role they hold, in order to pursue a sustainable and long-term success of the MAIRE Group, through the creation of a rewarding, fair and sustainable remuneration system, in line with the regulatory framework and the expectations of Stakeholders. In this context, the Plan is established with the following aims:
a. ensuring the increase alignment of management interests with the pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company and the MAIRE Group, through the creation of long-term value for Shareholders and Stakeholders;
b. maintaining the alignment of the Group's most critical roles with the company's objectives;
c. further supporting the engagement and the retention of the beneficiaries over the long term, preserving the competitiveness of the remuneration in the marketplace;
d. preserving consistency of the incentive systems with the company's strategic evolution.
2. Recipients of the Plan
The Plan is addressed to the Company's Chief Executive Officer as well as to selected Top Managers and key resources of MAIRE Group's companies who may also serve as members of the Board of Directors or Management Board of those companies.
The beneficiaries of the Plan, other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will be identified by name from among the Managers, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or the person(s) delegated for this purpose by the Board of Directors itself, having heard, where required, with the Remuneration Committee following the approval of the Plan by the
MAIRE
Shareholders' Meeting.
- Terms and conditions for the implementation of the Plan, specifying whether its implementation is subject to the fulfilment of conditions and, in particular, the achievement of certain results
The Plan provides for a single-cycle Award of rights to receive Shares free of charge at the end of the three-year Vesting Period (i.e. 2026, 2027 and 2028), subject to the achievement of annual Access Conditions and of Performance Objectives, according to the following criteria:
- for a first portion equal to 60% of the Shares corresponding to the Rights accrued at the end of the Vesting Period;
- for a second portion equal to 10% of the Shares corresponding to the Rights accrued at the end of the First Deferral Period (i.e. 12 months after the Grant of the first tranche of Shares, upon the occurrence of the reference Deferred Share Granting Condition);
- for a third portion equal to 10% of the Shares corresponding to the Rights accrued at the end of the Second Deferral Period, (i.e. 24 months after the Grant of the first tranche of Shares, upon the occurrence of the reference Deferred Share Granting Condition);
- for a fourth portion equal to 10% of the Shares corresponding to the Rights accrued at the end of the Third Deferral Period, (i.e. 36 months after the Grant of the first tranche of Shares, upon the occurrence of the reference Deferred Share Granting Condition);
- for a fifth portion equal to 10% of the Shares corresponding to the Rights accrued at the end of the Fourth Deferral Period, (i.e. 48 months after the Grant of the first tranche of Shares, upon the occurrence of the reference Deferred Share Granting Condition).
Upon inclusion in the Plan, each Beneficiary will be notified of the relevant number of Rights to receive Shares free of charge.
As mentioned earlier, the number of Shares that will actually be granted - at the end of the Vesting Period and of the four Deferral Periods envisaged - by the Board of Directors, after having consulted the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors for competence, will depend on the existence of the annual Access Conditions - which are measured at the end of each year of reference, i.e. 2026, 2027 and 2028 - and on the level of achievement of the Performance Objectives, measured at the end of the Vesting Period, linked to long-term value growth and profitability and based on the parameters of the MAIRE Group's Net Profit and/or Revenues, operating cash flow generation, as well as indicators linked to
MAIRE
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues and to the Group's Sustainability Strategy.
In fact, on an annual basis, each Beneficiary accrues a portion of Rights equal to one-third of the total number of Rights assigned, provided that the relevant Access Conditions are met.
In addition, the grant of the Deferred Share will be subject to the occurrence of the Granting Conditions, which will require, inter alia, the satisfaction of certain balance-sheet parameters.
The Grant of Shares is conditional to:
- the effective existence of the employment and/or collaboration and/or administration relationship (or in any case a comparable relationship pursuant to the regulations applicable from time to time) existing with the Company or with the Italian and/or foreign companies controlled by it from time to time, directly or indirectly pursuant to Article 93 of the CFA on the dates the Shares are granted (following the Accrual of Rights - at the end of the Vesting Period and at the end of the First, Second Third and Fourth Deferral Periods, respectively);
- whether the Beneficiaries are not in a notice period by reason of resignation or dismissal on the relevant dates of the Grant of Shares (following the Accrual of Rights - at the end of the Vesting Period and at the end of the First, Second Third and Fourth Deferral Periods, respectively); if the Beneficiary is an executive Director, he/she must not have resigned or been removed from office on the relevant dates of the Grant of Shares;
- the achievement of predetermined Access Conditions, Group Performance Objectives and issues related to Sustainability Strategies, as well as additional Deferred Share Granting Conditions.
It is specified that the maximum number of Shares that can be granted under the Plan will not exceed 2,400,000 Shares, representing 0.73% of the currently outstanding ordinary Shares.
The Plan contains the rules governing the beneficiaries' rights in the event of termination of the relevant relationship due to a "bad leaver" or a "good leaver" event, in accordance with the usual practice for incentive plans and as indicated in the 2026 Remuneration Policy.
In order to keep the essential contents of the Plan as unchanged as possible, the Board of Directors, having heard the Remuneration Committee, the Related-Parties Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors as appropriate, will regulate the emerging Rights and/or amend and/or supplement the conditions for the Accrual of the Rights and the grant of the Shares upon the execution of certain transactions, including, without limitation, splitting and aggregation of the Shares.

- Possible support of the Plan by the Special Fund for Encouraging Workers' Participation in Companies, referred to in Art. 4, paragraph 112, of Law 350 of December 24, 2003
The Plan does not receive support from the Special Fund for Encouraging Workers' Participation in Companies, referred to in Article 4, paragraph 112, of Law 350 of December 24, 2003.
- Procedures for the setting of prices and criteria for the setting of prices for the subscription or purchase of shares
Not applicable, as the Shares are granted free of charge.
- Restrictions on unavailability of shares, with particular reference to the time limits within which subsequent transfer to the company or to third parties is permitted or prohibited.
To reinforce the retention objective of the Plan and to adopt mechanisms to link short-term results to longer-term value creation, 40% of the vested Shares will be deferred in four equal portions for a period of 12, 24, 36 and 48 months, respectively, in accordance with paragraph 3 above.
There are no restrictions on the transfer of the Shares granted to the Beneficiaries.
