Dear Shareholders,

the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called for May 5, 2022 is called upon to discuss and resolve, pursuant to Article 114-bis, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree No. 58 dated February 24, 1998, as subsequently amended and supplemented (the "CFA"), on this proposal concerning the incentive plan named "Piano LTI" (the "LTI Plan") reserved to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, as well as to other employees, including the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities (the "Beneficiaries"), of Nexi S.p.A. (the "Company") and of each subsidiary directly or indirectly controlled by the Company pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code (collectively, the "Group"), in accordance with the criteria further detailed in the relevant information document attached to this report (the "Information Document"). Terms in capital letters which are not expressly defined in this report shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Information Document.

The LTI Plan mainly aims at: (i) steering the Company's performance in the medium-long term through the alignment of management's behaviours to the Company's strategy and risk management policies; and (ii) retaining the Group's key figures, covering functions of a significant impact for the Company's organisation and having significant expertise, which can represent a competitive advantage for the Group.

Accordingly, the LTI Plan provides for the free allocation to the Beneficiaries, over a medium-long term, divided into three 3-year cycles (2022-2024, 2023-2025 and 2024-2026), of two different categories of rights (i.e., performance shares rights and restricted shares rights), which, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the LTI Plan regulation and in the Information Document, entitle the Beneficiaries to obtain shares of the Company, as briefly summarised below.

Performance Shares Rights

Performance Shares Rights shall accrue subject to the achievement, following the three-year Vesting Period, of the Entry Gate (i.e., the Effective OCF reaching a value equal to at least 80% of the Target OCF) and to the fulfilment, to be independently assessed in each case, of the Performance Targets regarding the Relative Total Shareholder Return – as established for the first Cycle – and the Relative Operating Cash Flow, as well as to the existence of the Relationship upon the allocation of the shares of the Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Regulations. The General Manager and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities may only be granted Performance Shares Rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, starting from the second of the third Cycle of allocation, the Board of Directors may identify a further Performance Targets – to be included in addition to those indicated above, which shall therefore be re-proportioned – with a maximum weighting equal to 10% in the ESG, Environmental, Social and Governance area.

Restricted Shares Rights

Restricted Shares Rights shall accrue subject to subject to the expiry of the Vesting Period and to the existence of the Beneficiary's employment relationship with the Group upon delivery of the shares grant letter, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Regulations and the Information Document. Employees belonging to supervisory bodies will be exclusively granted Restricted Shares Rights, in compliance with the principles of sound and prudent management applied by the Company.

Share allocation

Following the approval of the financial statements relating to the last financial year of each Vesting Period (i.e., financial years 2024 for the first Cycle, 2025 for the second Cycle and 2026 for the third Cycle) and subject to the occurrence of the above conditions, as further detailed in the Information Document, the Board of Directors will establish the number of shares to be freely allocated to each identified Beneficiary of one or the other class of rights.

Part of the shares servicing the LTI Plan will be newly issued, pursuant to a free capital increase, separately and to be released on one or more occasions, in accordance with Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, for a maximum amount corresponding to the 1.5% of the share capital], to be implemented by issuing new shares with no par value, while the other part of the shares will be will be allocated from the Company's treasury shares portfolio.

For further details in relation to the LTI Plan (e.g., with respect to holding period, malus clauses and claw back clauses) drafted in accordance with Article 114-bis of the CFA, Article 84-bis and Schedule 7 of Annex 3A of the Regulation adopted with Consob resolution No. 11971 on May 14, 1999, please refer to the Information Document.
