It should also be noted that as of 1 January 2021, the Company has adopted a new Code of Corporate Governance, drawn up by the Corporate Governance Committee in January 2020 (hereinafter the "Code") and the relative references have been updated on this basis.

A. Approval and implementation of the Remuneration Policy

The current Remuneration Policy of MARR was defined by the Board of Directors in its meeting on 15 January 2020, on proposal by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee (hereinafter "RAC") it also being pointed out that on 14 November 2019, the Board of Directors, again on proposal by the RAC, had adopted a Regulation for the implementation of the Remuneration Policy as regards the monetary incentives.

Pursuant to art. 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the TUF, the Policy was subsequently approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2020 and became valid on the same date.

B. Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The RAC which was involved in the definition of the Policy was composed of the non-executive and independent directors Messrs Alessandro Nova, Ugo Ravanelli and, acting as Chairman, Marinella Monterumisi.

On its appointment, it had been ascertained that the members of the RAC had adequate financial and management experience from a business, professional and academic viewpoint.

The duties of the RAC are those indicated in the Code.

Following the renewal of the corporate bodies, on 28 April 2020, the Board of Directors, in respect of the dispositions of the Code of Self-Governance in force at the time (applicative criterion 4.C.2), and confirmed according to Recommendation no. 16 of the Code of Corporate Governance for listed companies, 2020 version, adopted by the Company as of 1 January 2021, attributed the functions of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee to the entire Board of Directors, under the coordination of the Chairman of the Board of Directors itself.

C. Employee remuneration and working conditions

In defining the remuneration in implementation of the Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors took into account the remuneration and working conditions of its employees through a periodical evaluation carried out by the Control and Risk Committee on the multiples existing between the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and the average employee remuneration.

D. Intervention by independent experts

The Company did not resort to the use of external consultants in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy.

E. Aims, principles e durata of the Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy has been drawn up with the intention of formalising a valid instrument aimed at:

  • contributing towards the corporate strategy, the pursuit of the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company;

  • attracting, retaining and motivating a management team with adequate professional skills;

  • aligning the interests of the management team and the shareholders;

  • promoting the creation of added value for the shareholders in the medium-long term.

The Remuneration Policy adopted by MARR respects the indications in the Code.

It must be pointed out that, due to the characteristics of the business activities, there are no remuneration plans based on shares.

The Policy, as established in the Policy itself and consistently with that provided in art. 123-ter, paragraph 3 of the TUF, must be submitted for voting by the shareholders at least every three years or whenever changes are made to the Policy.

F. Policies concerning the fixed and variable components of remuneration

The Company has identified the following subjects as recipients of the Remuneration Policy:

    1. the members of the Board of Directors;
    1. the non-executive directors with positions on the internal Committees of the Board of Directors;
    1. the executive directors managers with or without strategic responsibilities.
    1. the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors;

As regards the aforementioned point 3, it should be noted that:

  • in addition to the executives directors appointed to the position of "Executive Officer", the MARR Board of Directors may also include executive directors with managerial qualifications.

  • only manager with strategic responsibilities have been identified as CEO.

1. Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

With the exception of the executive directors, the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors is constituted exclusively by a fixed component and does not include any remuneration based on the achievement of results.

The entity of the remuneration of the Board of Directors is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting on appointment and conferment of their duties. Should the Shareholders' Meeting not have done so, the Board shall decide upon the subdivision of the remuneration equally among its members.

The members of the Board of Directors have the right to be reimbursed the expenses sustained in performing their duties.

As provided by the Company By Laws, the Board members invested with specific powers are due specific emoluments for this, the establishment of which is performed by the Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Auditors and the RNC.

These specific emoluments may not in any case exceed the amount of 6 times the remuneration of each Director determined as stated in the second paragraph, that provided in the Remuneration Policy concerning executive directors.

2. Remuneration of the non-executive directors appointed as members of the internal Committees of the Board of Directors

The remuneration of the non-executive directors appointed as members of the Committees is constituted exclusively by a fixed component and does not include any remuneration plans based on the achievement of results or any remuneration based on meeting attendance.

The remuneration of the members of the Committees, which is determined by the Board of Directors, is additional to that deliberated by the Shareholders' Meeting and is the same for each member.

No further integrations are provided for the non-executive directors called upon to perform the duties of Committee Chairman.

The Board of Directors has set up two Committees, for which the following Remuneration Policy has been established:

Remuneration and Nomination Committee: composed as provided by the Code. The overall remuneration of the Committee is commensurate to the commitment required and is between 5% and 10% of the remuneration allocated by the Shareholders' Meeting for the entire Board.

Control and Risk Committee (hereinafter also "CRC"): composed as provided by the Code. The overall remuneration of the Committee is commensurate to the commitment required and is between 20% and 30% of the remuneration allocated by the Shareholders' Meeting for the entire Board.

For each triennium, the remuneration is decided by the Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Board of Auditors.

3. Remuneration of the executive directors

The remuneration of the executive directors is constituted by a "fixed" component and a "variable" component.

The mechanism of determining the variable portion is defined by the RAC and approved by the Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The entity of both components are determined:

  • by the RNC and approved by the Board of Directors with the favourable opinion of the Board of Auditors, for the Executive Directors with strategic responsibilities;

  • by the CEO, after hearing the RNC and with the approval of the Board of Directors, for the Executive Directors without strategic responsibilities and therefore in the framework of their status of employees and managers of the Company.

The "fixed" annual component, which is in itself sufficient to remunerate the position should the "variable" component not be paid due to the failure to achieve the required objectives, tends to be in line with the reference market values and is commensurate to skills and capacities and is also determined on the basis of the professional specialisation of the position filled within the company and the related responsibilities.

The "fixed" component is constituted by:

  • remuneration for dependent employment;
  • the remuneration1 allocated by the Board of Directors, even if for a period of less than the three years of their term of office.

The "variable" component may represent not less than 30% and not more than 50% of their entire remuneration.

For the executive directors, the deferred payment over time of part of the variable remuneration is also provided, with respect to the time of accrual.

4. Remuneration of the members of the Board of Auditors

The total annual emoluments for the Auditors are determined by the Shareholders' Meeting by virtue of their independence, although the possibility of establishing a maximum all-inclusive threshold for the entire Board has not been ruled out.

The remuneration of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as expressly provided by the Code, envisages a remuneration suited to the skills, professionalism and commitment required by the significance of the position held and the size of the Company, the sector it operates in and its situation.

G. Non-monetary benefits

1 This remuneration is "eventual" for the Executive Directors without strategic responsibilities.

The Company recognises to the executive officer non-monetary benefits of limited amount, such as an accommodation allowance.

H. Description of the performance objectives for the variable components of the executive directors

The variable component of the remuneration due to the executive directors is constituted by:

i) a portion determined on the basis of the short-term objectives – annual (not more than 50% of the total "variable" component);

ii) a portion determined on the basis of the medium/long-term objectives - triennium (not less than 50% of the total "variable" component).

(i) Short/term objectives – annual

It is provided that the Executive Director will be assigned the following objectives:

1) a portion of 30% of the short-term variable component on the basis of an annual expenditure which shows an EBITDA in absolute terms of not less than that forecast in the annual Budget:

(ii) Medium and long-term objectives – triennium (LTI)

It is provided that the Executive Director will be assigned the following medium and long-term objectives:

1) a portion of 15% of the medium and long-term variable component on the basis of a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of not less than an appropriate index*;

2) a portion of 25% of the medium and long-term variable component on the basis of an annual expenditure showing an EBITDA in absolute terms of not less than that forecast in the Budget/Business Plan;

3) a 30% share of the medium-long term variable component against a final balance showing an EBT in absolute numbers not less than what is foreseen in the Budget / Business Plan;

4) a portion of 20% of the medium and long-term variable component on the basis of a Trade net working capital/total revenues ratio of not more that than forecast in the Budget/Business Plan;

5) a portion of 10% of the medium and long-term variable component on the basis of the achievement of the quality results forecast in the Business Plan.

* The index will be constituted by the Companies listed on the MTA / STAR segment – managed by Borsa Italiana, responding to at least one of the following characteristics:

  • Companies producing and marketing food products;

  • Companies with capitalisation of not less than € 300 million as at 31/12/2019;

  • Companies listed in the STAR segment for at least 5 years as at 1 January 2020.

I. Criteria for the evaluation of results

As required by the Code, the RAC monitors the application of the decisions adopted by the Board of Directors on remuneration by verifying the effective achievement of the performance objectives.

During its meeting for the identification of the amounts forecast as regards the variable remuneration, the RAC will define a scale of graduality should the objectives not be fully achieved.

The achievement of the short-term and medium and long-term objectives will be verified by the RAC and the payment of the amounts due will consequently be deliberated by the Board of Directors during the meeting for the approval of the draft financial report for the year in question.

I. Information on the consistency of the Remuneration Policy with the achievement of the medium-long term interests of the Company.

The objectives and target values are determined taking into account the specific nature of the reference sector and activities carried out and are consistent with the achievement of the medium and long-term interests of the Company.

The short-term variable component is aimed at rewarding the achievement of the corporate objectives in order to establish a profitable trend between remuneration and performance.

The long-term incentive plans are aimed at strengthening the links between the variable remuneration and the corporate results in the long-term, and also further aligning the interests of the top management team to those of the shareholders, in particular:

a) encouraging the creation of value for the shareholders in the medium and long-term;

b) ensuring growth rates that are consistent with that forecast in the Business Plan;

c) maintaining levels of profitability and financial management in line with that forecast in the Business Plan;

d) stimulating the achievement of the quality objectives in the Business Plan.

As regards the quantitative objectives, these will be determined on the basis of the achievement of the objectives in the plan concerning the last year of the plan itself, while the quality objectives will be based on all of the activities stated in the Business Plan.

K. Terms for the accrual of rights and ex post correction mechanisms

The achievement of the annual and medium-long-term objectives is verified by the RAC and the payment of the amounts accrued is consequently deliberated by the Board of Directors during the approval of the draft of the Annual financial report.

"Clawback" clause

The Company may request the restitution of all or part of the variable components of remuneration paid (or withhold sums that are not due), determined on the basis of the figures that are subsequently found to be blatantly incorrect.

L. Clauses for maintaining financial instruments in the portfolio

The Remuneration Policy does not include incentives plans based on shares or other financial instruments, and therefore there are no clauses for maintaining financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition.

M. Treatment in the case of stepping down from office or termination of employment relations

The indemnities eventually provided for the termination of employment relations of the executive directors is defined in the framework of their dependent employment relations in respect of the collective contract.

In the case of the eventual interruption of relations with the Company by one or more of the recipients of the Remuneration Policy for reasons other than just cause, it has been deemed just to pursue extrajudicial solutions on an equitable basis, within the limits provided by the good practices existing for similar figures, that provided by the laws and contracts in force holding firm. There are no specific agreements ongoing which determine particular indemnities in the case of termination of relations.

The Code also provides that in the event of stepping down from office and/or the termination of employment relations of an executive director or a general manager, the Company must make detailed information in this regard known in a release distributed to the market after the outcome of the internal processes leading to the attribution or recognition of any indemnities and/or other benefits.

N . Insurance coverage, social security and pensions

Insurance coverage for civil liability deriving from the position filled is provided.

O. Remuneration policy with reference to the independent directors, those appointed to Committees and the performance of specific duties.

Q. Derogations in exceptional circumstances

The "Regulation for the implementation of the remuneration policy with regard to monetary incentives" provides that the Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Remuneration Committee and in exceptional circumstances, retains the right to allow the payment of the variable component of remuneration accrues, in the medium and long-term, taking into account the objectives of maintaining and creating corporate value.

SECOND SECTION

The following section, in two parts, illustrates in a nominative manner the remuneration of the members of the management and auditing bodies2 .

Part One

1.1 Items comprising remuneration

The following is an illustrative description of each of the items comprising the remuneration for the 2020 business year.

Remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Board members invested with specific duties

On 28 April 2017, the Shareholders' Meeting renewed the management body, establishing an overall annual remuneration for the entire Board of Directors of 225,000 Euros. The Board of Directors subsequently decided to divide this amount into equal parts among the 9 members, thereby recognising to each of them a gross annual remuneration of 25,000 Euros for their term of office, to be equalized each year.

Subsequently, on 28 April 2020, the Shareholders' Meeting renewed the administration body for the three years 2020-2022, establishing for the entire Board of Directors an overall annual remuneration of 175,000 Euros. The Board then decided to divide said amount equally among its 7 members, thereby recognising to each of them a gross annual remuneration of 25,000 Euros for their term of office, to be adjusted each year.

The remuneration for the 2020 business year therefore includes, for the Directors confirmed in office, the portion for the period from 28/4 to 31/12 for the three year period 2020-2022 and the portion for the period from 1/1 to 28/4 in the previous three year period.

On 12 May 2017, the Board of Directors with a favourable opinion of RNC and the Board of Statutory Auditors, allocated the same fixed annual remuneration of 80,000 Euros, to be adjusted on an annual basis, to Mr. Paolo Ferrari. Mr. Paolo Ferrari was the Chairman of the Board of Directors until 28 April 2020; on that date, the Shareholders' Meeting called upon to renew the administration body appointed Mr. Ugo Ravanelli as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors.

On 14 May 2020, the Board of Directors, also acting as the Remuneration Committee, and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and with the abstention of the interested party, recognised to Mr. Ugo Ravanelli a fixed annual remuneration of 95,000 Euros, to be adjusted on an annual basis, for the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Remuneration of the directors appointed to the internal Committees of the Board of Directors

On 28 April 2017, the Board of Directors decided on the new composition of the CRC and RNC, the former composed of Mrs. Marinella Monterumisi, Mr. Ugo Ravanelli and Mrs. Rossella Schiavini and the latter by Mrs. Marinella Monterumisi, Mr. Alessandro Nova and Mr. Ugo Ravanelli. After the approval of the Board of Auditors, the Board also decided to allocate to the above directors:

2 There are currently no other executives with strategic responsibilities other than the Chief Executive Officer.

  • as members of the RNC, an additional annual remuneration of 7,500 Euros each, to be adjusted annually, for the entire term of office;

  • as members of the CRC, an additional annual remuneration of 15,000 Euros each, to be adjusted annually, for the entire term of office.

These Committees were in office until the end of the term of office of the Board of Directors on 28 April 2020; then, the newly appointed Board of Directors, in respect of the dispositions of the Code (applicative criterion 4.C.2. in the Code of Self-Governance3 ), decided to:

  • form a Control and Risk Committee;

  • with a view to simplifying corporate governance, attribute the functions of the Remuneration Committee and the Appointments Committee to the entire Board of Directors.

On 14 May 2020, the Board of Directors, also acting as the Remuneration Committee, and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and with the abstention of the interested parties, decided to attribute a remuneration for the entire term of office and to be adjusted each year of 17,500.00 Euros gross annually to each member of the Control and Risk Committee.

The remuneration for the 2020 business year therefore includes, for the members of the CRC confirmed in office, the portion for the period from 28/4 to 31/12 for the three-year period 2020-2022 and the portion for the period from 1/1 to 28/4 in the previous three-year period.

Remuneration of the members of the Board of Auditors

The Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2017 decided (as for the previous triennium) that the annual emoluments due to the members of the Board of Auditors should be 27,000 Euros for the Chairman and 18,000 Euros for the Standing Auditors.

Subsequently, the shareholders' meeting on 28 April 2020, called upon to renew the auditing body, decided the annual emoluments due to the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors as 30,000 Euros for the Chairman and 20,000 Euros for the Statutory Auditors.

The remuneration for the 2020 business year therefore includes, for the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed in office, the portion for the period from 28/4 to 31/12 for the three-year period 2020-2022 and the portion for the period from 1/1 to 28/4 in the previous three-year period.

On 28 April 2020, the Board of Directors appointed the Board of Statutory Auditors as the Supervisory Board ex Legislative Decree 231/01, attributing to each member gross annual remuneration of 7,000.00 Euros, to be adjusted each year.

  • redefining the maximum threshold of the variable remuneration for the year 2020 ad 75,000 Euros gross;

iii) the average gross annual remuneration, parametered on full-time employees and employees other than the individuals whose remuneration is given nominatively in this section of the Report.

Considering the exceptional nature of the 2020 business year, the variation is represented in two versions:

1) taking into account the use of the furloughing mechanism that the Company made use of;

2) without taking into account the effects of furloughing,

it holding firm that in both cases, the reduction is also partly due to less hours being worked, less overtime work and the consequent accrual of less thirteenth and fourteenth month payments due.
