2. REASONS FOR ADOPTING THE PLAN

2.1.Objectives to be achieved by the Plan.

The Company's Remuneration Policy serves the purpose of attracting and retaining people with the skills and professional qualities required by their role in order to pursue the long-term and sustainable 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 and in continuity with the previous approved long-term plans, the Plan has been implemented with the following purposes:

  • 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 the consistency of the incentive systems with the company's strategic evolution.

2.1.1. More detailed information in view of the significance of the Plan.

The ratio of incentive remuneration based on financial instruments to other components of total remuneration has been established in line with market benchmarks, ensuring an appropriate balance between the fixed and the other variable monetary components, in line with the principles of the 2025 Remuneration Policy. The timeframe underlying the Plan has been determined in line with best practices, the nature of the business and the related risks and provides for a three-year Vesting Period and two subsequent deferral periods respectively of 12 and 24 months for a part of the Shares.

2.2.Key variables, including in the form of performance indicators considered for the purpose of granting plans based on financial instruments.

In order to strengthen the Plan's incentive power, the Accrual of the Rights and the consequent Grant of the Shares shall be linked to the achievement of specific Conditions of Access measured annually and to the Performance Objectives measured at the end of the Vesting Period, linked to the growth in value and long-term profitability, which shall have as reference the parameters of Net Income and/or Revenues of the MAIRE Group, as well as indicators connected to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics and to the Group Sustainability Strategy.

The identification of these specific Conditions of Access and Performance Objectives shall be carried out by the Board of Directors or the person(s) delegated for this purpose on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, following the approval of the Plan by the Shareholders' Meeting.

The Grant of Shares shall take place following the accrued Rights, after the Shareholders' Meeting which will approve the Company Financial Statements and take note of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31st December 2027:

  • for a total of 70% of the Shares at the end of the Vesting Period;
  • for a total of 15% of the Shares at the end of the First Deferral Period;

The incentive levels were defined with respect to the weight and strategic nature of the role held, as well as the other components of fixed and variable remuneration, in line with the principles of the Remuneration Policy 2025 and market benchmarks. Finally, the three-year Vesting Period and the subsequent deferral periods of 12 and 24 months for a portion of the Shares allow the long-term remuneration to be correlated with the strategic objectives of the MAIRE Group. The equity-based nature of the Plan contributes to the further strengthening of the culture of enterprise risk management, facilitating the alignment of management's interests with those of Shareholders and Stakeholders.

  • for a total of 15% at the end of the Second Deferral Period, equal to 24 months from the date of Grant of the first portion of Shares.

Upon inclusion in the Plan, each of the Beneficiaries shall be notified of the relative number of Rights to receive Shares.

The Grant of Shares subject to deferral shall be determined in continuity with the Relationship at the time of Grant of the deferred shares.

2.3.1 More detailed information in view of the relevance of the Plan.

4.7.Description of any conditions for termination with respect to the grant of the plans if the recipients carry out hedging operations that make it possible to neutralise any prohibitions on the sale of the financial instruments awarded, including in the form of options, or of the financial instruments deriving from the exercise of these options.

The execution of hedging transactions on the Rights by the Beneficiaries before the Grant of the Shares shall result in the loss of Rights.

4.8.Description of the effects of termination of employment.

The Regulations will contain specific regulation of the Rights due to the Beneficiaries in case of termination of the relevant Relationship due to socalled "bad leaver" or so-called "good leaver" hypothesis, according to the usual practice of incentive plans.

Any dismissal for disciplinary reasons, resignation not for just cause, revocation of the office of director for just cause, withdrawal of the Company or the Subsidiary from the collaboration relationship for just cause or, finally, withdrawal of the collaborator not for just cause (so-called "bad leaver") shall result in automatic exclusion from the Plan and, consequently the Beneficiary shall permanently lose any awarded Rights. If the termination for the aforementioned cases occurs during the Deferral Periods, the portions of Shares still subject to deferral shall not be granted.

In the event of termination of the Relationship in the hypothesis of a so called "good leaver" before the date of Grant of the first portion of the Shares, the Rights awarded may accrue pro-rata in advance on an annual basis, without prejudice to the assessment of the achievement of the Conditions of Access measured annually and considering the Performance Objectives achieved at the target level.

In the event of termination of the relationship as in the hypothesis of a so called "good leaver" during the Deferral Periods, the Shares corresponding to the Rights accrued shall continue to be subject to deferral in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. It is understood that the Board of Directors may grant such Shares in advance.

4.9.Indication of other possible causes of cancellation of the Plan.

Any causes of cancellation of the Plan shall be specified during its implementation by the Board of Directors.

4.10.Reasons for the possible provision of a "redemption" of the financial instruments covered by the plans by the Company pursuant to articles 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption, indicating whether it is intended only for particular categories of employees; the effects on said redemption of the termination of the employment relationship.

The Plan does not provide for a right of redemption by the Company.

4.11.Any loans or other facilities that are intended to be granted for the purchase of the shares pursuant to art. 2358 of the Italian Civil Code.

There are no loans or other facilities for the purchase of the Shares as they are granted free of charge.

4.12.Indication of the value of the expected charge for the Company at the date of award, as determinable on the basis of terms and conditions already defined, for a total amount and in relation to each instrument of the Plan.

The expected charge for the Company is represented by the fair value of the Shares in service of the Plan, which shall be promptly determined upon the Award of Rights. Information relating to the total cost of the Plan shall be provided in the manner and within the terms specified in article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of the Issuers' Regulation.

4.13.Indication of any dilutive effects on capital caused by the Plan.

The Plan has no dilutive effects as the Company's treasury Shares shall be used in compliance with current regulations.

4.14.Any limits for the exercise of voting rights and for the grant of equity rights.

There are no limits to the exercise of equity and voting rights with respect to the Shares being granted under the Plan.

4.15.Information relating to the award of Shares not traded on regulated markets.

Not applicable, since the Shares are traded on Euronext Milan organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

4.16.- 4.23.

Not applicable since the Plan is not a stock option plan.

4.24.Table.

Table no. 1 envisaged in paragraph 4.24. of Schedule 7 of Annex 3A to the Issuers' Regulation shall be provided in the manner and within the terms specified in article 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a) of said Regulation.
