LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REMUNERATION AND APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present you with the company's Report on the 2024 Remuneration Policy and 2023 Compensation Paid, also on behalf of the other members of the Nexi S.p.A. Remuneration and Appointment Committee, Michaela Castelli and Maurizio Cereda.

In 2023, Nexi reported financial results in line with expectations. Growth in revenues, the expansion of margins and accelerated cash generation were accompanied by significant success in consolidating our leadership: Nexi laid the foundations for its entry into the Spanish market, continued its collaborative relationships with institutions and signed strategic partnerships for the digital development

of the economy and payments markets, acquired important new customers and continued to develop cutting-edge solutions and products, the result of consistent and continuous investment in technology. The Group's new operating model was also implemented in 2023 which, following the mergers of Nets and SIA, allowed areas of responsibility to be redefined and intra-group systems and processes to be aligned in order to combine the international dimension of the business with proximity to the market and customers. Despite an uncertain macroeconomic outlook and increased competition, Nexi has established strong business governance that will enable it to achieve, in the current and coming years, the synergies arising from operations on a European scale, gradually focusing investments and its business portfolio on areas with the greatest growth potential, and gradually streamlining structures and operations to reward cash generation in a sustainable way.

The 2024 Remuneration Policy, in continuity with 2023, aimsto support and reward the effectiveness of managerial action, aimed at pursuing the indicated objectives, through a balance of fixed remuneration in line with the market and total remuneration that rewards achieving and exceeding results, placing it, on target, at the highend of the benchmark. This remuneration system, the implementation of which is monitored by the Committee and the Board of Directors not only with respect to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities but to the entire first-line management, hasthe capacity to encourage conduct, through the assigned short- and long-term objectives and the relative weights, that is consistent with corporate strategies and risk management policies, and to facilitate, as already highlighted in the past, the alignment of the interests of management and Shareholders.

Sustainable value creation is ensured by the assignment of ESG objectives in the MBO and LTI plans that are closely linked to Nexi's business - the digitalisation of SMEs as a driver of progress, a corporate culture that values and protects people and skills, and the satisfaction, in the responsability of its role as leader, of merchants, partner banks and end consumers - and to its environmental and social commitment towards decarbonisation and the net-zero objectives certified by SBTi.

In preparing this Report, the Committee took into account the feedback received in its engagement activities with institutional investors and proxy advisors. With a view to greater transparency, the 2024 Remuneration Policy Report sets out, in Section I, a more structured representation of the MBO objectives of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, the exception clause and the criteria for the composition of the peer group used for the purpose of remuneration benchmarking analyses, which are updated annually with the support of an independent expert consultant. Section II of the Report demonstrates the strict approach to implementing the pay-for-performance criterion through the failure to vest the share rights for the 2021-2023 LTI cycle, linked to the Relative TSR.

With thanks to Michaela Castelli and Maurizio Cereda for the generosity of their time and contribution to the work of the Committee, I therefore submit this Report, approved by the Board of Directors, for your attention in the hope that you will find a clear document capable of effectively conveying the structure, purpose and general principles of Nexi's Remuneration Policy which, as an integral part of the strategy, aims to orient the Company's conduct, in accordance with the governance model adopted by the Company, towards the achievement of the Plan's objectives, with the clear intent of generating sustainable value for the benefit of its stakeholders.

Thank you, Elisa Corghi Chair of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee

NEXI

About us

The Nexi Group, present in more than 25 countries, is the European PayTech with the scale, expertise and territorial proximity to provide people, businesses, financial institutions and public administration with the simplest, fastest and most secure payment solutions.

As a result of the merger of Nexi, Nets and SIA, the Group implemented a new operating model in 2023, with a matrix structure, organised by Business Unit and Region, which respectively guide product strategy and innovation and market strategy, based on the guidelines of the governing body and a unitary execution model overseen by the Corporate functions, supervised by the Control functions.

The Group's Remuneration Policy complements the business plan, serving the corporate strategy, with the aim of attracting, retaining and motivating the best resources, cultivating talents and skills and guiding conduct towards the achievement of lasting and sustainable results through the short-term and long-term variable incentive systems.

Summary of 2023 results

"In 2023, we have continued our growth journey across all geographies, we have further increased our margins, and significantly accelerated cash generation. Additionally, we have made further progress in product innovation, in the modernization of our technological platforms, in the strengthening of our skills, and in the integration of our organization, which allows us to further accelerate efficiency and synergies," commented Paolo Bertoluzzo, CEO of Nexi Group. "Looking ahead, despite a still uncertain macroeconomic outlook, we expect to continue to expand our margins and significantly increase the cash generation, returning to accelerate revenues in the medium term, also thanks to new drivers of growth such as eCommerce, Germany, and Spain, which we recently acquired. Given this outlook, we are entering a new phase in terms of capital allocation: we have decided to initiate the process of returning capital to our shareholders, while continuing the ongoing reduction of financial leverage and sustaining the investments in the organic development of the business. For this reason, we will propose to the Shareholders' General Meeting to start a significant buy-back program, with the conviction that this is the most effective way to create value for our shareholders in this phase. This progress is possible thanks to the continued trust of our Customers, the support of our Partners, and the extraordinary contribution of the People of Nexi."

Key Indicators of the Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on 6 March 2024, at the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee.

The Group's strategic drivers (growth, technology, synergies, people, sustainability) are reflected in the variable incentive schemes, through the assignment of results targets consistent with the short (MBO Plan) and medium-long term (LTI Plan) business objectives.

The importance of the sustainable growth pursued is reflected in the inclusion of the ESG objectives within the incentive schemes, in particular:

Short-term variable incentive plan (MBO Plan)

The 2024 MBO Plan confirms the assignment of ESG objectives to the Group Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and to all first-line managers, with a weight consistent with the individual roles, as well as to all beneficiaries of the annualvariable incentive scheme, with particular regard to the dimensions of Customer Centricity and People Value, measured through the following metrics:

  • the 'Net Promoter Score' (NPS)4 , which measures the degree of customer satisfaction, in order to guarantee and monitor Nexi's commitment to meeting the daily needs of the payments market and to ensuring the accessibility of the services offered;
  • the People Engagement Index5 , which measures the level of employee satisfaction, with an increased weight for roles having direct responsibility for people within each Region.

Long-term variable incentive plan (LTI Plan)

In keeping with the commitment made in 2022, an 'ESG' objective that is closely related to the Nexi Sustainability Strategy was introduced into the LTI plan starting from the 2023-2025 allocation cycle. In the 2024-2026 allocation cycle, this objective confirms the focus on the dimensions of Digitalisation and Diversity & Inclusion, introducing an indicator specifically referring to Nexi's commitment to decarbonisation6 .

  • 4 The Net Promoter Score is an indicator that measures the experience perceived by end customers (business owners, merchants and banks) in order to improve the service offered. The NPS used is the 'relational' NPS, measured by asking customers to express their level of satisfaction regarding their relationship with Nexi, by answering the following question using a scale of 0 to 10:''Based on your recent experience, would you recommend Nexi?". Based on the feedback received from customers, the NPS is calculated by reporting period, applying the following formula: (% Promoter - % Detractor)*100
  • 5 The People Engagement represents the level of satisfaction that employees express through the People Survey, Nexi's tool for listening to its people, managed by a third party company. Satisfaction is measured through the Engagement Index by taking into consideration those who have expressed a positive evaluation on a mix of indicators that assess the level of appreciation of the company, the sense of pride/belonging and the desire to recommend the company, its products and services

Section 1 REMUNERATION POLICY

The Section 1 of the Report presents information aimed at ensuring a broad level of transparency and sharing of remuneration policies with stakeholders.

1. Shareholder Engagement

Nexi attaches great importance to the dialogue and discussion regarding its Remuneration Policy, in order to meet the expectations of the Group's main stakeholders.

In particular, in preparation for Shareholders' Meetings the Company gets in touch with the main Proxy Advisors, also with the support of specialised external consultants, in order to illustrate the changes in its remuneration policy. This contact with Shareholders and Proxy Advisors continues throughout the year, in order to monitor and identify any areas for improvement, in keeping with the best market practices in the field of remuneration.

With the specific goal of maximising the flow of information with respect to any requests for a more in-depth analysis of the document describing the Remuneration Policy, Nexi set up a task force across corporate functions, which includes the Investor Relations function, the HR function and the Corporate Governance function.

In particular, this Remuneration Policy takes into account the recommendations of the Proxy Advisors, providing a more structured presentation of the MBO objectives of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities (paragraph 4.3), presenting a more articulated and detailed section on exceptions to the Remuneration Policy (paragraph 2.2), and by providing additional elements regarding the criteria for the composition and application of the relevant peer group for the remuneration benchmarking activities (paragraph 3.3).

In 2023, the Report on the Remuneration Policy was approved by the Nexi S.p.A. Shareholders' Meeting with 85.5% of the votes in favour (against a level of attendance equal to 79.8% of the share capital).

Chief Executive Officer and other relevant functions

The Chief Executive Officer makes proposals to the Committee concerning the remuneration of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and his/her reporting first line managers.

The Human Resources Department initiates the Remuneration Policy process, supports the Committee in the operational management of meetings, providing technical support – including in terms of reporting – and prepares informative materials for the definition of remuneration policies. Furthermore, together with the relevant corporate functions, it contributesto the identification, monitoring and subsequent final reporting of the economic-financial objectiveslinked to the short-term (MBO) and long-term (LTI) incentive plans and prepares the documentation for implementing the Remuneration Policy (e.g. Incentive Plan Rules).

The Finance Department supports the entire process, in particular for the identification and calculation of the quantitative targets of the incentive plans.

·

Corporate Control Functions

The Control functions are involved and collaborate in various ways in the definition and implementation of the Remuneration Policy and/or the subsequentverification of the proper implementation of the remuneration policies. More specifically:

  • the Compliance Function performs a high-level review of the Remuneration Policy against current remuneration provisions within the applicable regulatory framework, also providing recommendations for further improvements of the Policy where required;
  • the Risk Management Function makes sure that the remuneration policy is consistent with company operations and risk profiles (especially with regard to short- and long-term variable incentives).

The aforementioned functions examine the remuneration policy ex ante (each for the aspects within their remit) before it is submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for resolution.

• Finally, the Audit Function oversees the entire process of identifying and calculating the quantitative objectives of the short- and long-term variable incentive plans and verifies the proper payment of the fixed and variable components, in accordance with the approved Remuneration Policy.

The Control Functions report to the relevant bodies on the results of the checks performed, specifying any corrective measures.

Board of Statutory Auditors

On the subject of remuneration, the Board of Statutory Auditors expresses the opinions required by the regulations in force, in particular with respect to the remuneration of Directors holding special offices pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, verifying its consistency with the Company's remuneration policy. The Board of Statutory Auditors regularly attends meetings of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee.

2.2. The process for the approval of the Remuneration Policy

The guidelines of the remuneration policy with respect to the governing and control bodies and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities were approved by the Board of Directors on 6 March 2024.

Consistent with the regulations in force in this area and the Corporate Governance Code, the approval process for the remuneration policy is developed according to the following steps:

Exceptions to the provisions of the 2024 Remuneration Policy

Pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF), Nexi allocates remuneration in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, which has annual validity.

In the presence of exceptional circumstances - as defined in the light of the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions - i.e. situations in which deviation from the remuneration policy is necessary in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay on the market - the Company may temporarily deviate from the Remuneration Policy under the terms set out below.

The Board of Directors is the body entrusted with the task of verifying the occurrence of such exceptional situations and the power to temporarily deviate from this Remuneration Policy, at the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties, in cases in which it is required by the Related Party Transactions Regulation adopted by the Company.

The Company identifies ex ante, including but not limited to, the following as exceptional circumstances pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF):

  • the occurrence of extraordinary and unforeseeable events, concerning the Group or the sectors and/or markets in which it operates, that significantly affect results;
  • substantial changes in the organisation of the Group's operations, including as a result of extraordinary transactions such as mergers, demergers, sale or purchase of companies or business units;
  • the acquisition or retention of resources with specific high-level skills and expertise;
  • the implementation of projects and initiatives of an extraordinary nature;
  • the entry into force or amendment of statutory and/or regulatory provisions, the implementation of which is left to the Company's discretion.

In compliance with the relevant legislation and in strict connection with the specific exceptional circumstance, the possible elements of the Remuneration Policy that can be waived are as follows:

  • fixed component of remuneration;
  • short-term and long-term variable component of remuneration (MBO and LTI Plans);
  • award of one-off bonuses.

Information on any exceptions will be disclosed through the next year's Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid, in accordance with applicable regulations.

3. Purposes, principles and instruments

Pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Financial (TUF), the Remuneration Policy contributes to corporate strategy, the pursuit of long-term interests and the sustainability of the Company and illustrates how it does so.

3.1 Purposes

The guidelines of the remuneration policy are shaped by Nexi's values and support its business strategy with the goal of strengthening the Company's leadership in the management and development of resources, also with respect to the labour market, with particular reference to the hi-tech and highly innovative sectors.

Specifically, they aim to:

  • pursue and ensure the sustainable growth of the organisation in the long term, consistent with the guidelines of the Company's strategic business plan, including the ESG Strategy, which is an integral part thereof;
  • attract, motivate and retain people whose skills, experience, aptitudes and passions are a key factor in Nexi's success;
  • develop a culture based on recognising merit, through remuneration systems linked to results achieved in the short and medium term, as well as to conduct;

create lasting value for Shareholders while respecting the interests of customers and employees.

3.2 Principles

The guidelines of the Remuneration Policy are based on the following principles that guide the remuneration plans and consequent actions:

Alignment with values and the business strategy

The proposal of a remuneration package that is balanced between fixed and variable components is considered a key driver for the alignment of conduct with Nexi's objectives.

In particular, variable incentive schemes are a key tool in driving performance and impact on company results: they are structured so that targets and measurement metrics are consistent with short- and long-term business and ESG objectives.

Performance

Remuneration policies are directly linked to performance, rewarding people's contributions to achieving sustainable business results over time, according to a meritocratic approach that rewards top performers to a greater extent.

Nexi assesses the performance of its employees according to specific, well-defined criteria (WHAT and HOW):

WHAT: clear and measurable individual and corporate, qualitative and quantitative objectives

HOW: conduct in line with corporate values, which were reviewed and updated in 2023through the active involvement of Nexi's people and includes feedback sessions to facilitate alignment with the expected targets and to orient any corrective actions.

Competitiveness and equity

All the elements of the remuneration package are consistent with the role held and the responsibilities assigned, at all levels of the company. Corporate roles are weighted in terms of impact and responsibility according to a codified and internationally recognised system (global banding) to ensure a uniform, fair approach to the role. With the support of leading independent consultancy firms, external benchmarks are established with respect to reference peer groups, both in terms of pay mix and remuneration levels. Finally, Nexi constantly compares its own policies with market practices both nationally and internationally. The aim is to ensure that remuneration

decisions are made effectively to ensure the internal fairness of remuneration packages and their competitiveness in relation to the market, in order to retain and attract key talent.

Transparency and communication

The criteria for remunerating our people are clear and transparently communicated to Shareholders, employees and outsiders.

3.3 Market practices

The Company regularly monitors market practices and trends in terms of remuneration levels, incentive schemes and the pay mix, also through the performance of specific benchmarking analyses, carried out by the consultancy firm Mercer12, in order to ensure the competitiveness of the overall remuneration offer and guarantee the Group's ability to attract, retain and motivate people considered strategic for the implementation of the corporate strategy.

Specific peer groups are identified for the CEO/GM, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and first-line management, based on criteria and methods of comparison with the market reviewed in line with the evolution of the Group's scope, management and operational complexity and the organisational model adopted. In particular, Italian and European listed companies which were deemed significant and comparable with Nexi in terms of type of sector and business, size, competitiveness in the labour market and geographical presence were considered.

Companies with headquarters in the United States were excluded as they are subject to remuneration rules and practices that are not comparable.

With regard to their sectors, the comparison panel is mainly composed of companies operating in financial services (banks and insurance companies, taking into account regulatory constraints on remuneration), services (with a focus on technology and telecommunication operators and including specialised consultancy firms) and consumer goods.

With respect to the labour market, the criteria guiding the composition of the panel take into account the need to compete in the technological and digital sphere, with particular reference to Fintech skills, while supporting the internationalisation of the business as well as the constant orientation towards innovation and the continuous development of new products and solutions.

Remuneration benchmarks are also devised based on the geographical area within which the compared roles operate, in order to adequately valorise the characteristics of the various competitive contexts and local labour markets.

With regard to the roles of Chair of the Board of Directors, non-executive Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors, the remuneration practices of the main Italian listed companies belonging to the FTSE MIB index were considered when renewing the mandate of the Board of Directors in May 2022.

3.4 Instruments and recipients

The aims and principles of the policy are embodied in the key elements of the remuneration of Executive Directors, Directors holding special offices and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, as illustrated below:

12 Mercer Italia of the Marsh&McLennan Group

Fixed component of remuneration

The fixed remuneration is commensurate with the role and responsibilities assigned, taking into account experience, skills, the contribution required, and the remuneration that is typical for the role in the relevant market. The purpose of this is to remunerate the services performed if the variable component is not paid and can be adjusted over time in accordance with the Policy.

For non-executive Directors, remuneration is limited to the fixed component only, in line with the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code, without envisaging any form of variable remuneration linked to the achievement of performance objectives. The overall remuneration is determined in keeping with the complexity of the role and the commitment required, and commensurate with the tasks and responsibilities assigned.

Variable component of remuneration

The variable component of the remuneration is defined through short-term (MBO) and long-term (LTI) incentive plans. In compliance with the approval processes of the Shareholders' Meeting, these incentive plans are associated with predetermined, complementary and measurable objectives linked to the achievement of economic, operational, financial and non-financial results, also in a rolling logic consistent with the budget, with the guidance communicated to the markets at the beginning of the year, with Nexi's strategic plan, and with the interests of Shareholders.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN - MBO (Management By
Objectives) PLAN
LTI (Long Term Incentive) PLAN13
Definition Variable incentive scheme based on results achieved
over a one-year period, with respect to pre-established
objectives (corporate, specific and individual). The
achievement of the objectives is linked to economic/
monetary incentives, paid within the first half of the
financial year after the relevant financial year.
The variable incentive scheme provides for the assignment
of rights to receive Nexi SpA ordinary shares free of charge
to a selected panel of Company employees over the long
term (three years), the accrual of which is conditional on the
achievement of predetermined objectives.
Beneficiaries CEO/GM and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities
Others: based on the banding14 and the role
CEO/GM and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities
(Performance Shares only)
Others: selected panel of employees with permanent
contracts identified according to the criteria of banding14 and
performance15
Purposes To guide the company's performance in the short term
by identifying objectives aligned with the company's
strategy, budget and annual business plans.
To direct and focus people on business priorities in
compliance with the principles of mitigating the main
risks.
To guide the company's performance in the long term by
aligning management behaviour with the company strategy
and creating value for stakeholders.
To retain the key people in the company who hold high
impact roles for the organisation and who have relevant skills,
thus providing the company with a competitive advantage.

These incentive plans are governed by specific regulations that are consistent and compliant with current regulations.

In compliance with the principles of risk mitigation, such incentive plans envisage:

  • specific access thresholds (Entry Gate), below which disbursement/vesting cannot take place;
  • maximum incentive levels, linked to achieving and exceeding results at the upper end of the performance curves;
  • malus clauses allowing for the reduction or non-payment of the variable component in the event of conduct during the employment relationship that has caused or may cause significant damage or loss to Nexi or another Group Company;
  • clawback clauses that allow the variable component to be fully or partially reimbursed in the event of violation of the rules set forth in Article 114-quinquies.3 of the Consolidated Law on Banking (TUB); conduct during the course of the employment relationship that has caused or may cause serious damage or significant losses to Nexi or another Group company, or payment of the variable component on the basis of data that prove to be clearly incorrect.

Benefit

Benefits represent an important supplementary component to the other elements of remuneration, in a logic of sustainable welfare (referred to in the dedicated chapter in Section I of this Report). They are differentiated by category of recipients and type; they are in line with market practices and are consistent with applicable laws and the provisions of collective bargaining agreements.

4. Remuneration Policy

This chapter provides details on the guidelines of the Remuneration Policy adopted by Nexi (with annual validity) with respect to the members of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as approved by the Board of Directors on 6 March 2024.

This policy takes into account market practices and external benchmarks with reference peer groups, established with the support of independent external consultancy firms, both in terms of pay mix and remuneration levels.

4.1 The Board of Directors

The Chair of the Board of Directors

The remuneration of the Chair of the Board of Directors, a non-executive Director, includes the fixed component alone in the form of a total gross annual remuneration, as specified by Section II of this Report, which for the 2022-2024 term is equal to Euro 480,000. This amount includes the remuneration pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting for the position of Director.

Reimbursement of expenses against receipts is permitted for expenses incurred in exercising duties related to the position. A Directors & Officers (D&O) policy is also provided.

Moreover, the Chair may receive additional remuneration for serving on Nexi S.p.A.'s Internal Board Committees, whereas they do not receive additional remuneration for offices held in subsidiaries or for serving on their Internal Board Committees.

Non-executive Directors

The non-executive and/or independent Directors receive only the fixed component of remuneration, which provides for an annual fee approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in the amount of Euro 70,000 gross per annum for the 2022-24 term of office, and an additional fee for serving on the Internal Board Committees, determined by the Board of Directors for the 2022-24 term of office as follows:

  • Euro 40,000 gross for the Chair of the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and Euro 25,000 gross for its members;
  • Euro 35,000 gross for the Chair of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and for the Chair of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties, and Euro 20,000 gross for the relative members; and
  • Euro 25,000 gross for the members of the Strategic Committee.

In line with the recommendations provided by the Corporate Governance Code, non-executive and independent Directors do not participate in the variable incentive plans linked to performance objectives. No distinction is made in terms of remuneration between Directors who meet the independence requirement and Directors who are not independent.

Reimbursement of expenses against receipts is permitted for expenses incurred in exercising duties related to the position. A D&O policy is also provided.

4.2 The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager

The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager comprises a fixed component, a variable component (shortterm and long-term incentives), benefits and post-employment payments.

The short-term and long-term variable components, closely linked to the business plan, constitute a significant part of the CEO/GM pay mix in order to recognise and enhance the results achieved in a sustainable manner over time, aligning management actions with corporate strategy, creating value for stakeholders. The pay mix of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is shown in the table below.

PAY MIX CEO/GM

The directorship and management relationship are inseparable: therefore, the termination of the managerial relationship also entails the termination of the offices and powers of the Chief Executive Officer and vice versa.

The remuneration package, assigned to the General Manager as an employee and described below, is also compensatory for the office of Chief Executive Officer of Nexi and any other office, assignment of powers and/or responsibilities assumed in the course of the relationship, with respect to which the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager does not receive any additional remuneration.

Fixed Remuneration

The fixed remuneration for the office of General Manager resolved by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2022 is Euro 1,500,000 gross per annum.

Short-term variable remuneration - MBO Plan

The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is the beneficiary of the short-term variable incentive plan (MBO) approved by the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee.

With regard to the variable incentive plan - MBO Plan - the general structure of the incentive instrument in force at company level is illustrated below.

a. Beneficiaries

Beneficiaries are identified by banding and role.

b. Purposes

  • To guide the company's performance in the short term, through the identification of objectives aligned with the strategy, the budget, the guidance communicated to the markets at the beginning of the year and the Company's annual business plans.
  • To direct and focus people on business priorities, fostering their engagement, in compliance with the principles of mitigating the main risks.

c. Structure

  • There is an access threshold (Entry Gate), below which no disbursement of the MBO Plan takes place. It is represented by the achievement of at least 85% of the target value for the Group EBITDA. Similarly, no MBO incentive is paid in the event that the individual objectives assigned (in the following point) are not achieved.
  • In line with the Company's strategic drivers focused on profitable growth, innovation and technological/digital transformation, operational excellence, people engagement and sustainable value creation, the MBO Plan includes predetermined, measurable and mutually complementary economic-financial and non-financial (related to strategic projects and sustainability) objectives of the following types:
    • corporate objectives (e.g. Group EBITDA)
    • objectives specific to the Business Unit and Area (where applicable)
    • other specific ESG objectives: Customer Centricity (Net Promoter Score); People Value (Engagement Index resulting from the People Survey)18.

Each objective is associated with a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and a percentage weight, differentiated according to the role and responsibilities assigned.

The current MBO scheme for the CEO/GM is composed as follows:

  • Group EBITDA (40%)
  • Group Revenues (20%)
  • Group Operating Cash Flow (15%)
  • Group Cash Costs (10%)
  • ESG:
    • Customer Centricity: Net Promoter Score (5%);
    • People Value: Engagement Index (10%)
  • Group EBITDA, Cash Costs, Customer Centricity and People Value are common objectives for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities with configuration and weights consistent with the role and responsibilities.
  • ESG objectives are extended to all beneficiaries of the Group MBO Plan.

d. Target Incentive and Mechanisms

  • The target incentive is the amount of the MBO bonus payable upon achieving the target of the objectives set. It is equal to a percentage of the gross annual salary and is differentiated according to the role held and the responsibilities assigned: for the CEO/GM it corresponds to 100% of the gross annual salary.
  • The maximum MBO bonus payable may not exceed 200% of the target incentive.
  • The expected target, the minimum value (below or equal to which the target is considered not to have been achieved) and the maximum value (above which excess performance is no longer remunerated) are defined for each objective and related KPI. If the level of achievement of the objective set is equal to or below the minimum value, the payout (amount of the incentive paid towards the target) is equal to zero. If the level of achievement of the objective set is equal to the target, the payout is equal to 100% of the target incentive. If the level of achievement is equal to or above the maximum value, the payout is equal to 200% of the target incentive.

18 With regard to the definitions of the KPIs relating to Net Promoter Score and Engagement Index, please see the paragraph under the heading "Key Indicators of the Remuneration Policy" in the introductory section of this Report

• With particular regard to the Group's EBITDA, the range of achievement of the objectives is between 90% (minimum value) and 105% (maximum value) according to an asymmetric linear curve, with a different payout depending on the level of achievement of the objective set. Specifically, if the actualvalue achieved is100% of the targetvalue, the payout is equal to 100%. If the actualvalue achieved is equal to or lower than 90% of the targetvalue, the payout iszero. If the actualvalue achieved is above 105% of the targetvalue, the payout of the curve is at most 200% of the target amount of the incentive. For intermediate values, the payout is calculated through linear interpolation.

e. Malus and clawback clauses

Specific malus and clawback clauses are envisaged for MBO Plan:

  • malus clauses: allow for the reduction or non-payment of the variable component in the event of conduct during the employment relationship that has caused or may cause significant damage or loss to Nexi or another Group company;
  • clawback clauses: allow the variable component to be fully or partially reimbursed in the event of violation of the rules set forth in Article 114-quinquies.3 of the Consolidated Law on Banking (TUB); conduct during the course of the employment relationship that has caused or may cause serious damage orsignificant lossesto Nexi or another Group company, or payment of the variable component on the basis of data that prove to be clearly incorrect.

f. Effects of termination of employment

Payment of the MBO bonus is subject to the beneficiary's continued employment on 31 December of each reference year. If this condition is not met, no MBO bonus is paid even if the corporate and individual objectives are achieved. For the CEO/GM, in the event of termination during the year without just cause or in the event of resignation for just cause, the MBO bonus is paid on a pro-rata temporis basis.

Long-term variable remuneration - LTI Plan

The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is a beneficiary of the long-term incentive plan (LTI) approved on 10 March 2022 by the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, and subsequently by the Shareholders' Meeting of 5 May 2022.

With regard to this long-term incentive plan (LTI), the general structure in force at the company level is illustrated below, in line with the disclosure document pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF).

It should be noted that the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, in the capacity of General Manager, was among the beneficiaries of the long-term incentive Plan (LTI) approved in 2019. This Plan ended in 2021 with the assignment of the third and final cycle, in accordance with the rules and operating mechanisms of the LTI Plan illustrated in Section I of the Report on Remuneration and Compensation Paid approved in 2020 by the Shareholders' Meeting.

a. Purposes

  • To guide the company's performance in a sustainable manner in the long term by aligning management behaviour with corporate strategy and creating value for stakeholders.
  • To retain the key people in the company who hold high-impact roles for the organisation and who have relevant skills, thus providing the company with a competitive advantage.

b. Beneficiaries

The beneficiaries of the plan are a selected panel of employees hired under permanent contracts, identified according to banding and performance criteria.

c. Characteristics for CEO/GM and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities

The Plan provides for the assignment to selected Company employees (with permanent contracts according to banding and performance criteria) of rights to receive a certain number of Nexi S.p.A. ordinary shares free of charge, over a long term (three years):

  • the shares assigned are Performance Shares: ordinary shares of the Company, of which the transfer of ownership to the employee is conditional on the achievement of predetermined company performance targets in a specific period of time;
  • the Plan has a three-year duration and provides for the assignment of rights to receive Nexi S.p.A. shares on an annual basis;
  • the vesting period19 is3 years, with rolling transfer/vesting of shares;

19 The period between the date on which the right is assigned and the date on which the right finally accrues

20 Additional period during which the financial instruments cannot be traded starting from the date of delivery of the letter of allocation of the shares after the expiry of the vesting period

d. Structure and operating mechanisms

  • The plan providesfor an accessthreshold (Entry Gate) below which no accrual of rightsis envisaged: the actual CumulativeOperating Cash Flow must be at least 80% of the target Cumulative Operating Cash Flow.
  • In line with the Company's strategic drivers, the key indicators, which affect the vesting of Performance Shares, are as follows:

4.3 Executives with Strategic Responsibilities

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are identified by the Board of Directors from among those who have the direct and indirect power and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the Company's operations, as defined in IAS 24, paragraph 9.

As from 1 January 2023, in consideration of the new roles and areas of responsibility introduced by the new operating model, the Nexi Group's Executives with Strategic Responsibilities have been identified by the Board of Directors as:

  • the Deputy General Manager and Group Finance, Strategy and Transformation;
  • the Group Information Technology Officer.

The remuneration for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities comprises a fixed component, a variable component (short-term and long-term incentives), benefits and other instruments (post-employment payments and non-compete agreements).

The short-term and long-term variable components - as for the role of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager - constitute a significant part of the pay mix in order to recognise and enhance the results achieved in a sustainable manner over time, aligning the management actions to the corporate strategy, thus creating value for stakeholders.

The current average pay mix of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is shown in the table below.

AVERAGE PAY MIX CURRENT ESRs

Fixed remuneration

According to the remuneration policy, the fixed remuneration is defined based on the responsibilities and impact of the role, to ensure fairness of treatment and competitiveness with respect to the relevant market. The purpose of this is to recognise the services provided even if the variable components are not paid.

Short-term variable remuneration - MBO Plan

Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are beneficiaries of the short-term variable incentive Plan (MBO) approved by the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, according to the approach, structure and operating mechanisms already outlined in chapter 4.2. under the heading Short-term variable remuneration.

  • Specifically, briefly summarised: in line with the Company's strategic drivers focused on profitable growth, innovation and technological/digital transformation, operational excellence, people engagement and sustainable value creation, the MBO Plan includes predetermined, measurable and mutually complementary economic-financial and non-financial (related to strategic projects and sustainability) objectives of the following types:

    • Corporate objectives (e.g. Group EBITDA);
    • role-specific objectives;
  • ESG objectives: Customer Centricity (Net Promoter Score); People Value (Engagement Index resulting from the People Survey);

  • each objective is associated with a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and a percentage weight, differentiated according to the role and responsibilities assigned;

  • Group EBITDA, Cash Costs, Customer Centricity and People Value are common objectives for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities with configuration and weights consistent with the role and responsibilities.

The MBO scheme for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is therefore as follows:

  • The target incentive is the amount of the MBO bonus payable upon the achievement of set objectives. It is equal to a percentage of the Gross Base Salary (RAL) and is differentiated according to the role held and the responsibilities assigned: for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities a targetvalue of up to 100% of the gross annual salary is envisaged.
  • The maximum MBO bonus payable may not exceed 200% of the target incentive.
  • For each KPI, the expected target and the range within which the objective is considered not achieved (minimum value) or achieved at the maximum level (maximum value) is defined.
  • If the level of achievement of the objective set is equal to or below the minimum value, the payout (amount of the incentive paid towards the target) is equal to zero. If the level of achievement of the objective is equal to the target, the payout is equal to 100% of the target incentive. If the level of achievement is equal to or above the maximum value, the payout is equal to 200% of the target incentive.
  • Malus and clawback clauses are envisaged26.
  • Payment of the MBO bonus is subject to the beneficiary's continued employment on 31 December of each reference year. In the absence of such a condition no MBO bonus is paid, even if the corporate and individual objectives are achieved, without prejudice to the right of the Board of Directors to make exceptions under specific circumstances.

In order to illustrate the comparative information between the evolution of the total remuneration and the annual change in the Company's results, a discussion follows below regarding the correlation between the short-term variable remuneration pertaining to 2019, 202039, 2021, 2022 and 2023 received by the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the level of achievement of the MBO objectives assigned thereto and linked to the Company's economic performance, as reported in this Section II for 2023 and in Section II of the Reports of previous years and specified in the notes to the table below, as well as the evolution of the Group's EBITDA over the time horizon considered.

In 2020, the level of achievement of the Company's objectives was impacted by the Covid emergency, but the Group nevertheless reported a solid financial performance, also thanks to a careful cost containment policy. In 202140, double-digit growth in turnover and EBITDA was recorded, despite the unexpected impact of the Covid Omicron variant at year-end (it should be noted that consistent with the assigned targets the 2021 results considered for the purposes of short-term variable remuneration exclude the effect of the integration with the Nets Group). Despite the complex macroeconomic situation, 2022 was confirmed as another year of solid, profitable growth. In 2023, the growth journey across all geographies has continued, with further increasesin margins and significantly accelerated cash generation.
