Letter from the Chairman of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee
Dear Shareholders,
As Chairman of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, I am particularly pleased to present to you, also on behalf of the Board of Directors, Section II of the Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid ("the Report") of Nexi S.p.A.
The remuneration policy, approved by last year's Shareholders' Meeting, was adopted by Nexi with a three-year time horizon, in accordance with the strategic business objectives; therefore, Section I of the Report for the year 2021 will not be subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting, under Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act, as it was already approved at the 2020 Shareholders' Meeting.
The purpose of this letter is to show our stakeholders (shareholders, customers and employees) that the Company's remuneration policies are in accordance with the business strategies.
The general context and strategic business challenges
During 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic had a major impact on the global economic and financial environment, leading to an endemic contraction in overall consumption and a simultaneous change in purchasing and spending behaviour, differentiated according to product categories, such as basic consumption, discretionary consumption and consumption highly impacted by Covid (e.g. tourism and restaurants).
In this context, three main characteristics in Nexi's business stand out:
- a consumption trend impacted by the evolution of the pandemic: transactions volumes fell rapidly during the mostsevere lockdownsin the first half of the year, recovered in line with the recovery of industrial/commercial activities in the following months until the end of the summer, and finally, when the second wave of the pandemic appeared, they showed another reduction, which was less significant than that of the first wave;
- continued signs of an acceleration in the transition from cash to digital payments: during the year, the propensity of citizens and businesses to make digital payments increased, accelerated by trends in purchasing behaviour, and determined by the pandemic context; this natural acceleration is also reflected in the initiatives to stimulate digital payments launched by the government to give a further boost to the modernisation of the country and support the recovery of consumption;
- increased demand for more advanced omnichannel solutions from both customers and partner banks: Nexi has further improved its innovative solutions offer through the development of its digital, e-commerce and omnichannel solutions.
In 2020, in line with its strategic vision, Nexi entered into an agreement with Intesa Sanpaolo for the acquisition of merchant acquiring activities; this transaction confirms Nexi's desire and ability to consolidate its position in the world of merchant services through an increase in operational scale, always in partnership with banks.
Market evolution led Nexi to undertake two important extraordinary transactions, the first with the SIA Group and the second with the Nets Group. These transactions, on fulfilment of the specified conditions, will enable the Nexi Group to become the leading Pay-Tech in Europe.
Activities and initiatives for the progressive development of remuneration policy
During 2020 and early 2021, my efforts, and those of the Members of the Committee and of the Board of Directors - to whom I would like to extend my personal thanks - continued to ensure that the current Remuneration Policy is always in accordance and in line with the company's growth, the dynamics of the economic and social context and the forthcoming evolution of the Group on an international scale.
In view of the circumstances arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, as early as March 2020, at the start of the emergency, the Company's Top Management wished to send a significant message by voluntarily and unilaterally waiving for the year 2020 the short-term variable incentives (the MBO 2020), regardless of the performance of the business later in the year, allocating these amounts to support part of the MBO and Production Bonus payments for all of the Company's employees. The level of achievement of the company's objectives was impacted by the Covid emergency, but still recorded a solid financial performance, including as a result of a careful cost containment policy. This meant that the entry gate threshold of 85% of the Group's EBITDA target value was exceeded in 2020 and therefore the payment of short-term variable remuneration (MBO) could be made for the rest of the company's workforce depending on the level of achievement of the objectives.
With a view to the future, and in accordance with Nexi's development strategy, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee intends to take further steps forward in its remuneration policies, taking into account the developments related to the Group's corporate scope and the regulatory framework.
In particular:
- as already noted in the 2020 Report, the Committee will carry out the preparatory work for a new Long Term Variable Incentive Plan (LTI), as the Plan currently in place will come to an end in 2021 with the assignment of the rights relating to the last cycle; the new Plan, like the previous one, will take into account the Group's future strategic challenges and ensure sustainable growth of the organisation, while being aware of the company's risks, and will:
- create sustainable value for stakeholders in the medium to long term, aligning management behaviour with the new Group Strategic Plan;
- increase the company's competitive advantage by enhancing the skills and key resources that are a key asset in Nexi's strategy.
- • In line with what was already underway in 2020 and with the Corporate Governance Code's recommendations, we outlined a path for the adoption of new non-financial measurable indicators in the variable incentive systems, deriving from the corporate ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategy. Nexi's increasing role as a major international player requires us to be a point of reference not only for technological innovation but also for our commitment to corporate social responsibility. We want to make this commitment because we strongly believe that ESG policies further enhance and accelerate the value generated for the Shareholders, for our Clients and more broadly for the community and ecosystem in which we operate.
- In light of the developments related to the extraordinary transactions and the consequent new corporate reach, during 2021 an in-depth analysis will be carried out on the remuneration elements adopted by Nets and SIA, assessing their compliance with the Group's medium- and long-term objectives and any potential impact on the current remuneration policy of future integration.
Approval of Section II of the Report on Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid
The Board of Directors approved Section II of the Report with reference to the 2020 financial year, which will be subject to an advisory vote by the Shareholders' Meeting, supplemented with the new disclosure requirements in line with Shareholder Rights Directive II.
I would also like to thank you, on behalf of the whole Committee, for your support on the matters set out above.
Section II - Implementation of the 2020 Remuneration Policy
1. Introduction
On 11 December 2020, CONSOB transposed the new disclosure requirements introduced by the Shareholder Rights Directive 2 ("SHRD II") into the Issuers' Regulations.
These new requirements confirm - together with other aspects - the emphasis placed by the SHRD II on the relationship between the remuneration of top management and the company's performance, on the comparison between the remuneration offered to Directors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities compared to the rest of the company workforce and, in general, on the link between company strategy and remuneration policy, as well as on how the latter influences company results.
This Section II incorporates the new obligations required by CONSOB, together with detailed information on the remuneration paid for the 2020 financial year in accordance with the criteria set out in Appendix 3A, Schedule 7-bis of the Issuers' Regulations to the members of the Board of Directors, to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and to the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with the remuneration policy adopted for that year.
This Section is followed by the Remuneration Tables which show by name the remuneration paid/attributed in 2020.
In compliance with the provisions of Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act, this Section II is submitted for the advisory vote of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements as at31 December 2020.
1.1 The Board of Directors
The Chairperson of the Board of Directors
With reference to the role of non-executive Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the following remuneration is due:
- a total gross annual emolument of EUR 300,000 (including the gross annual base emolument for all non-executive Directors of EUR 50,000),
- an additional fee as a member of the Strategic Committee of EUR 10,000.
The remuneration shown in table 1 is calculated on the basis of the 2020 financial year and, the above also describes what is paid, for the same financial year, with reference to the role of Chairperson of the Board of Nexi Payments S.p.A.
The Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors
With reference to the role of non-executive Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the following remuneration is due:
- a total gross annual emolument of EUR 150,000 (including the gross annual base emolument for all non-executive Directors of EUR 50,000),
- an additional fee as a member of the Strategic Committee of EUR 10,000.
The remuneration shown in Table 1 is calculated on the basis of the 2020 financial year.
Non-executive Directors
With reference to each non-executive member of the Board of Directors, the following remuneration is due for the 2019-2021 term of office:
- a basic emolument of EUR 50,000 gross per annum,
- an additional fee for any participation in the Internal Board Committees, amounting respectively to EUR 25,000 for the Chairperson of the Committee and EUR 10,000 for the other members of the Committee.
The remuneration shown in Table 1 is calculated on the basis of the 2020 financial year.
Where the role on the Internal Board Committees was held for less than a financial year, the rele-
vant remuneration was calculated on a pro rata basis.
Table 1 does not include the names of Directors who waived their fees for 2020. For two Directors, itshould be noted that the remuneration is paid directly by Nexi to Clessidra SGR S.p.A. as a result of re-charges by the Directors themselves.
It should also be noted that there are no agreements in place with the non-executive Directors regarding compensation in the event of termination of office.
1.2 The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager
In accordance with the principles of the remuneration policy, the remuneration for the role of Chief Executive Officer and General Manager for the reference year (2020) included the following elements.
Fixed remuneration
The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager received gross remuneration in his capacity as Manager of EUR 1,200,000, consistent with 2019, including emoluments for the role of Chief Executive Officer and any other position held for Group companiesincluding the position of Chief Executive Officer of Nexi Payments S.p.A.
Short-term variable remuneration - MBO
With regard to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, the short-term variable remuneration (MBO) for 2020 included a target incentive of EUR 1,560,000 or 130% of the RAL (Gross Annual Remuneration). In accordance with the principles and operating rules set out in Section I of the 2020 Report, this remuneration was linked to corporate and individual objectives, each of which was associated with a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and a percentage weight.
Nexi decided not to revise the assigned targets associated with each objective in light of the Covid emergency and not to make any retrospective MBO adjustment; it should be noted that for 2020 the entry gate threshold, equal to 85% of the Group's EBITDA target value, was exceeded and therefore the payment of short-term variable remuneration (MBO) could have taken place depending on the level of achievement of the objectives.
However, for the 2020 financial year, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager voluntarily and unilaterally waived the 2020 MBO incentive from March 2020, at the start of the pandemic, regardless of how the business would perform later in the year, allocating these amounts to support part of the MBO and Production Bonus payments of all employees.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the 2020 MBO incentive, the pro forma calculation of which was approved by the Board of Directors of Nexi S.p.A. on 11 March 2021 on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, was determined according to the level of achievement of each objective compared to the target defined in the annual budget. Overall, the amount of the 2020 MBO thus calculated, but not paid as it was waived, would have been EUR 520,260 gross; the percentage payout compared to the value of the target incentive
would therefore have been 33.4%. For the sake of transparency, the MBO scheme for CEO/GM in place for 2020 is illustrated below with the weights and the percentage payout level of each objective; it should be noted that the
targets assigned take into account the results excluding the effect of the acquisition of Intesa Sanpaolo's merchant book.
Table 1 shows respectively:
- an explanatory note regarding the voluntary and unilateral waiver by the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the amounts relating to the 2020 MBO incentive described above,
- the portion deferred and paid in 2020 related to short-term variable incentive plans of previous years (2016, 2017 and 2018)1 .
These amounts are set out in detail in Table 3B.
Long-term variable remuneration - LTI
In implementation of the long-term incentive plan (LTI), approved by the Board of Directors in 2020, for the second cycle 2020-2022, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, as General Manager, was granted 146,934 rights (Performance Shares) to receive shares in 2023, in accordance with the rules and operating mechanisms of the LTI plan explained in Section I of the Remuneration Report approved in 2020 by the Shareholders' Meeting.
It should also be noted that, for the first 2019-2021 cycle, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, as General Manager, was granted 173,333 rights (Performance Shares) to receive shares in 2022, in accordance with the rules and operating mechanisms of the LTI plan set out in Section I of the Remuneration Report approved in 2020 by the Shareholders' Meeting. These rights are shown in Table 3A.
Benefits
The Chief Executive Officer's benefits package is shown in Table 1 divided into the columns "non-monetary benefits" and "other remuneration", according to the criteria shown in the note. In particular, as explained in Section I of the 2020 Report, the amounts recorded include the contribution to the supplementary pension scheme, in accordance with the provisions of the company collective agreement for all employees, and insurance coverage for death, occupational/ non-occupational accidents that is better than the provisions of the national collective agree-

ment and which is the same for all executives, and insurance coverage for the reimbursement of medical expenses of senior management. The allocation of a company car for mixed use is also included.
1.2.1 Pay Mix
As a result of the CEO and General Manager voluntarily and unilaterally waiving the amountsrelated to the 2020MBO incentive and as no shareswere awarded during the year underthe long-term incentive plan (LTI), the remuneration received by the CEO and General Manager during the 2020 financial year consists of gross annual fixed remuneration; it should also be noted that during 2020 the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager received the deferred portion related to short-term variable incentive plans pertaining to previous years (2016, 2017 and 2018)2 as shown in Table 3B.
1.2.2 Pay comparison information
As required by Annex 3A, Schedule 7-bis, 1.5, and with a view to transparency towards our stakeholders, we set out below the pay-ratio between the total remuneration (fixed remuneration plus variable remuneration3 ) received in 20194 and 20205 by the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the average gross annual remuneration (fixed remuneration plus variable remuneration6 ) of the Group's employees, calculated on a full-time basis. It should be noted that for the variable part for the CEO/GM, only the short-term variable remuneration (MBO) relating to the year is included since no LTI accrued in 2019 and 2020; in addition, it should be remembered that for the 2020 financial year, the CEO/GM voluntarily and unilaterally waived the receipt of the 2020 MBO incentive.

2 For the 2020 financial year, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager voluntarily and unilaterally waived his right to receive the 2020 MBO incentive.
To illustrate the data comparing changes in total remuneration and the annual change in the Company's results, below is the correlation between the variable remuneration7 for 2019 and 20208 of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the level of achievement of the MBO objectives assigned to him, as reported in this Section II for 2020 and in last year's Section II for 2019 as set out in the notes to the table below; for 2020, the level of achievement of the company's objectives wasimpacted by the Covid emergency, butstill recorded a solid financial performance, including as a result to a careful cost containment policy; it should be noted that these results for the purposes of short-term variable remuneration, in line with the targets set, exclude the effect of the acquisition of the Intesa Sanpaolo's merchant book.
