LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REMUNERATION AND APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present you, also on behalf of the other members of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee. Michaela Castelli and Maurizio Cereda, the Company's Report on the 2025 Remuneration Policy and on the compensation paid in the past year.

In 2024, Nexi achieved results in line with guidance, characterized by growth in revenues and margins, solid cash generation that allowed for debt reduction, and an improvement in the S&P Global ESG score that positions the Group (in-
cluded for the second consecutive year also in Standard & Poor's sustainability indices) in the top 1% of the best companies in the Financial Services & Capital Market category. In December, Fitch Ratings upgraded the debt rating to investment grade and during the year the European Investment Bank granted Nexi the first financing to a listed company in the sector to support the innovation of digital payments in Europe.
These results were achieved, in a complex macroeconomic and market context, thanks to Nexi's people and their skills, to an operating model, constantly monitored for its effectiveness also with respect to risk management, that combines the advantages of international scale with commercial oversight of local markets, and to a Remuneration Policy that incentivizes results-orientation at all organizational levels of the matrix.
The 2025 Remuneration Policy is the result of a progressive refinement of its constituent elements, guided by a careful analysis of the remuneration market, which validated many of the Board of Directors' choices made at the beginning of the mandate, and by the feedback received during engagement activities with institutional investors and proxy advisors. In this document, you will find confirmation of the objective to support and reward the effectiveness of management action with a pay mix in which the fixed remuneration of the first line is on average aligned with the peer group (unchanged in its composition), while the variable component allows, when results are exceeded and in the presence of positive stock performance, to place total compensation in the upper range of the remuneration benchmark. The structure of remuneration thus continues to be the result of a rigorous pay-for-performance approach, in which alignment with Shareholders' interests is also confirmed by the weight of relative Total Shareholder Return and evidenced by the failure to vest share rights linked to it for the 2022-2024 LTI cycle. The sustainability of value creation continues to be supported in management incentive systems by the assignment of ESG objectives closely connected to the company strategy. The proposed compensation for governance roles and for the CEO and General Manager remains unchanged compared to the previous mandate.

With the 2025 Policy, Nexi also submits for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting the new 2025-2027 LTI Plan, which reaffirms confidence in Performance Shares as a tool capable of promoting behaviors oriented toward sustainable value creation. The new LTI Plan presents payout opportunities unchanged from the previous one and further aligns with best practices by extending to 2 years the lock-up period on 50% of the shares vested by top management; introducing, in addition to market indices, a comparison panel for measuring relative TSR composed of international fintech companies, nominally indicated in the document; allocating shares to good leavers no longer at target, but based on company performance to remunerate the actual value created. In the context of increased and growing market competition for our talents, the Plan allows the Board of Directors to resolve, exceptionally and within predefined limits, allocations of Restricted Shares rights to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities (excluding the CEO and General Manager).
With the aim of providing clear information, Section I of the Report illustrates in greater detail the constituent elements of performance remuneration for the CEO and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities; Section II increases ex-post disclosure of payout upon achievement of short and long-term objectives.
As we reach the end of the three-year mandate of the current Remuneration and Appointments Committee, we believe that a significant effort has been made for the progressive alignment of the remuneration systems resulting from the mergers with Nets and SIA, providing the Company with an effective Policy that strongly incentivizes results, is internally equitable and relative to an extremely competitive labor market that has now transcended national boundaries, and is rigorous in recognizing merit and value creation for Shareholders.
With Michaela Castelli and Maurizio Cereda, who have generously lent their experience and expertise to the Committee, I thank you in advance for the support you would like to express regarding the contents of this Report approved by the Board of Directors.
Thank you,
Elisa Corghi Chair of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee

NEXI

About us
The Nexi Group, operating in more than 25 countries, is the European PayTech with scale, capabilities and territorial proximity to provide people, companies, financial institutions and public administrations with the simplest, fastest and most secure payment solutions.
Originating from the merger of Nexi, Nets and SIA, in 2023 the Group implemented a new matrix operating model (Target Operating Model or TOM), organised according to Business Unit and Region, which guide product strategy and innovation and market strategy respectively, based on governing body guidelines and a single execution model overseen by the Corporate functions supervising Control functions.
The Group's Remuneration Policy integrates the business plan, at the service of the company's strategy, with the aim of attracting, retaining and motivating the best resources, nurturing talent and skills and steering conduct based on shortand long-term variable incentive systems, towards achieving long-term sustainable results.

Summary of 2024 results
"In 2024, we continued to deliver growth across all our geographies and businesses and generate more and more cash from the business, also thanks to a continued focus on operational efficiency. At the same time, we did continue to invest in innovative products, modern technology platforms and strategic capabilities, further shaping Nexi for future profitable growth" 2024 has been a key year in the journey of Nexi as we have also started to return capital to our Shareholders and achieved an Investment Grade status at the same time, while we continued to reduce our debt leverage. Looking into 2025, we expect to continue to grow and expand our margins, further increasing our cash generation, while continuing to invest with strong conviction in the growth potential of digital payments, a very key strategic sector for the future of Europe. Going forward, based on our resilient continued growth outlook for the future years, we will return most of the excess cash to Shareholders, while maintaining the Investment Grade status. We will start paying a material dividend in 2025 that we plan to increase over time. We will propose to our Shareholders' General Meeting to return to our Shareholders a total of € 600 million in 2025, combining € 300 million of dividend distribution with additional € 300 million of share buy-back."

4 Excess Cash: operating cash flows net of interest payable and other cash items (cash taxes, IFRS 16 and other).



Key Indicators of the Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Policy was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on 10 March 2025, based on the proposal from the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.
The Group's strategic drivers (growth, technological innovation, synergies, people, sustainability) are reflected in the variable incentive systems, through the assignment of result targets consistent with the short-term (MBO Plan) and medium-/long-term (LTI Plan) business objectives.
| STRATEGIC DRIVERS | |||||||

| Relative TSR | l | l | |||||
| ESG | Diversity & Inclusion | l | l | ||||
| LONG TERM |
Decarbonisation | l | l | ||||

The economic-financial targets and return on invested capital represent the main component of the objectives assigned under the MBO plan and the LTI Plan, with a weight generally at least equal to 85% in the MBO plan and equal to 90% in the LTI plan, in line with the role.

The stability of value creation and the creation of value for the broader ecosystem with respect to the Company is supported through the ESG objectives present in short- and long-term incentive systems, in particular:
• Short-term variable incentive plan (MBO Plan)
The 2025 MBO Plan confirms the assignment of ESG objectives to the Chief Executive Officer and Group General Manager, to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and to the entire first line of management, as well asto all beneficiaries of the annual variable incentive system, with a consistent weight by role, with particular reference to Customer Centricity and People Value, measured through the following metrics:
- the 'Net Promoter Score' (NPS) 5 , which measures the degree of customer satisfaction, in order to guarantee and monitor Nexi's commitment to providing an offering and service appropriate to the needs of the payment market, ensuring continuity in accessibility to the services offered;
- the People Engagement Index6 , which measures the level of satisfaction of the Group's employees, with an increased weight in the MBO plan for roles with direct responsibility for people within each Region. Independent third-party consultants assist Nexi in recording the index, ensuring the reliability of the measurement.
• Long-term variable incentive plan (LTI Plan)
With the 2024-2026 granting cycle, the Performance Shares LTI plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in 2022 has ended. In the new 2025-2027 LTI Plan, submitted for approval by the 2025 Shareholders' Meeting, attention to sustainability issuesis confirmed by the inclusion of an ESG objective comprising three indicators, which, consistent withNexi's strategy, measure the results achieved, for the 2025-2027 cycle, in relation to the decarbonisation targets approved by SBTi, digitisation and gender balance.

5 The Net Promoter Score is an indicator that identifies the experience perceived by end customers (cardholders, merchants and banks) in order to improve the service offered and refers to the 'relational' NPS, detected by asking customers to express their level of satisfaction with the relationship with Nexi, answering on a scale from 0 to 10, the question: ''Based on your recent experience, would you recommend Nexi?''. Based on the feedback received from Customers, the NPS is calculated in the reporting period, applying the following formula: (% Promoter - % Detractor)*100.
6 People Engagement is the level of satisfaction that employees express through the People Survey, Nexi's people listening tool, managed by a third-party company; it is measured through the Engagement Index by taking into account individuals who have positively evaluated a mix of indicators that assess the level of satisfaction with the company, the sense of pride/belonging and the desire to recommend the company, its products and its services.

SECTION 1 REMUNERATION POLICY
The First Section of the Report presents information clearly and transparently, aimed at ensuring a broad level of disclosure to stakeholders about remuneration policies.
1. Shareholder engagement
Nexi attaches importance to engagement with Shareholders regarding the Remuneration Policy, in order to align it with the expectations of the Group's main stakeholders.
In preparation for Shareholders' Meetings, in particular, the Company manages contact activities with the main Proxy Advisors, also supported by specialised external consultants, in order to illustrate its Remuneration Policy. These activities with Shareholders and Proxy Advisors also take place during the year if requested and according to the current shareholder engagement procedure, in order to monitor and identify any areas for improvement, in line with best market practices on remuneration.
With the specific aim of maximising the effectiveness and conformity of the information flow in relation to any requests for further insights on the document describing the Remuneration Policy, Nexi has set up a task force across company functions, which includes the Investor Relations function, the HR function, the Corporate Governance function, and is also assisted by the external consultant specialised in Corporate Governance Advisory issues9 .
In 2024, the Report on the Remuneration Policy was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of Nexi S.p.A. with 84.97% of the votes in favour (74.2% of the share capital was represented at the Meeting).

The Remuneration and Appointments Committee has set up a structured process for planning, preliminary analysis and proposals regarding the Remuneration Policies and Incentive Plans, which takes place throughout the annual cycle, as illustrated below.

Chief Executive Officer and other relevant functions
The Chief Executive Officer puts proposals to the Committee regarding the remuneration of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and direct reporting managers.
The Human Resources Department initiates the process for preparing the Remuneration Policy, supports the Committee in the operational management of meetings, providing technical assistance – also in terms of reporting – and organises preparatory material for defining the Remuneration Policies. In addition, with the competent corporate functions, it contributes to the identification, monitoring and subsequent finalising of the economic and financial objectives related to the short-term incentive plans (MBO Plan) and long-term incentive plans (LTI Plan) and prepares the implementation documentation of the Remuneration Policy (e.g. Rules of the Incentive Plans).
13 Document drawn up pursuant to Article 84-bis of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended.

The Finance Department supports the entire process, in particular for the identification of targets and finalisation of the economic and financial objectives 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 subsequent checks on the correct 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 checks that the Remuneration Policy (in particular with regard to short-term incentives) is consistent with company operations.
The above functions, each according to their own responsibilities, examine ex ante the Remuneration Policy before it is submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for approval.
• Finally, the Audit Function oversees the entire process of identifying and finalising the quantitative objectives of the short- and long-term variable incentive plans and checks the correct payment of the fixed and variable components, in line with the approved Remuneration Policy.
The Control Functions report to the bodies in charge on the results of the checks carried out indicating any corrective measures.
Board of Statutory Auditors
As regards remuneration, the Board of Statutory Auditors expresses the opinions required by applicable regulations, in particular concerning the remuneration of Directors holding particular positions pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, checking their consistency with the Company's Remuneration Policy. The Board of Statutory Auditors regularly attends the meetings of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, overseeing the correctness of processes.
2.2 The process for approving the Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Policy guidelines with reference to the Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Auditors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities were approved by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2025.
In line with the applicable law on this matter and the Corporate Governance Code, the process for the approval of the Remuneration Policy takes place in the following stages:


Exceptions to the provisions of the Remuneration Policy
Pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, Nexi allocates remuneration in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, which is valid for one year.
Where exceptional circumstances occur – as defined in the light of applicable laws and regulations - i.e. situations where a 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 in the market – the Company may temporarily deviate from the Remuneration Policy within the terms of and according to the enhanced governance process indicated below.
The Board of Directors is tasked with checking whether such exceptional situations occur and may temporarily deviate from this Remuneration Policy, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and after consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Related-Party Transactions Committee, in cases where this is required by the Related Parties Transactions Regulation adopted by the Company.
The Company identifies ex ante, by way of example only, the following as exceptional circumstances pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance:
- 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 business, including as a result of extraordinary operations such as mergers, demergers, sale or purchase of companies or business units;
- the acquisition or retention of highly qualified resources having specific skills and professional expertise;
- the implementation of extraordinary projects and initiatives;
- the entry into force of or amendment to laws and/or regulations whose implementation is left to the evaluation of the Company.
In compliance with relevant laws and in close connection with the specific exceptional circumstance, the following elements of the Remuneration Policy may be departed from: (i) the fixed component of the remuneration; (ii) the short-term and long-term component of the remuneration (MBO and LTI Plans); (iii) the award of one-off bonuses.
Information on any exceptions made will be disclosed in the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid, the following year, in accordance with applicable laws.


3. Purposes, principles and tools
Pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Remuneration Policy contributes to the Company's business strategy, its pursuit of long-term interests and sustainability, and illustrates how it makes such a contribution.
3.1 Purposes
The guidelines of the Remuneration Policy are shaped by Nexi's values and support its business strategy with the objective 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, the policy aims to:
- pursue and ensure the growth of the organisation in the medium to long term, to protect the sustainability of results, based on the central nature of competencies for defining and implementing the guidelines of the Company's strategic business plan;
- attract, motivate and retain people in a highly competitive context for sector skills, promoting their engagement and sense of belonging;
- develop a culture based on recognising merit, through remuneration systems linked to results achieved in the short and medium term, as well as conduct;
- nurture diversity and inclusion through the empowerment of gender diversification, the experiences and skills of the Group's resources.
thus helping to adequately oversee company operations and ensuring succession plans to support business continuity and the creation of lasting value for all stakeholders.
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 for a remuneration package of well-balanced fixed and variable componentsis considered a key driver in aligning conduct with Nexi's objectives.
Specifically,variable incentive systemsrepresent a fundamental tool in driving performance and the impact on businessresults: they are structured so that targets and measurement metrics are consistent with short- and long-term objectives.
• Performance
Remuneration policies have a direct link with performance, rewarding the contribution people make to achieving measurable and sustainable business results over time, according to a meritocratic approach which, based on performance curves, offers greater rewards for the top performers.
Nexi assesses its employees' performance on the basis of explicit and defined criteria (WHAT and HOW):
WHAT: company and individual objectives, mainly quantitative, clear, measurable;
HOW: behaviours in line with company values; to this end, interim feedback sessions are held, to promote alignment with the expected targets and to steer any corrective actions.

• Competitiveness and equity
All aspects of the remuneration package are consistent with the role held and with the responsibilities assigned, at all company levels. Company roles are weighted in terms of impact and responsibility according to an internationally recognised and codified system (global banding) to ensure a standard and fair approach in relation to the assigned role. Gender pay-equity detection and measurement systems are also in place and are being gradually refined to promote an inclusive work environment. With the support of leading independent consulting firms, external benchmarks are used annually with regard to reference peer groups, both in terms of pay mix and salary levels. Finally, Nexi constantly benchmarks against both national and international market practices. The aim is to ensure that remuneration decisions are taken effectively to guarantee the internal fairness of remuneration packages and their competitiveness on the market, in order to retain and attract key skills.
• Transparency and communication
The criteria for remunerating our people are clear and communicated transparently to Shareholders, employees and external third parties.
3.3 Market practices
The Company constantly monitors market remuneration practices and trends, including incentive and pay mix systems, through specific benchmarking, undertaken with the support of the consulting firm Mercer. This process aims to ensure the competitiveness of the overall remuneration offer and the Group's ability to attract, retain and motivate key positions for the implementation of its business strategy.
For the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and first line of management, specific peer groups are defined based on criteria for comparison with the market aligned with the Group's evolution, its management and operational complexity and organisational model. The comparison is based on a panel of Italian and European listed companies, selected for their affinity with Nexi in terms of size, sector, competitiveness with resources and geographic presence.
Companies with headquarters in the United States are excluded from the scope of analysis, as they have non-comparable remuneration policies and practices.
The reference panel mainly includes companies operating in three macro-sectors: financialservices(banks and insurance undertakings, the results of which are also examined separately considering they are subject to regulatory constraints on remuneration), services (with a particular focus on technological operators, fintechs, telecommunications companies and specialised consulting firms) and industrial and consumer goods.
The panel composition reflects the need to compete in the technological and digital sector, with particular reference to fintech skills, supporting the internationalisation process and constant focus on innovation and the development of new products and solutions.
The remuneration analyses also take into account the geographic dimension of the comparative roles, to adequately value specific aspects of the local competitive contexts and labour market.
The benchmarking analyses carried out to support the definition of the 2025 Remuneration Policy were developed by adopting the peer group and the approach of the previous two years, thus being able to verify the evolution of market remuneration without changing the observation point.
As regards the roles of Chair of the Board of Directors, non-executive Directors (also regarding their participation as Chair and members of the internal board committees) and the Board of Statutory Auditors, the remuneration practices of Italian listed companies belonging to the FTSE MIB index, with the exclusion of companies with headquarters abroad or significantly larger than those of Nexi, were analysed in view of the upcoming renewal of the mandate of the Board of Directors.
During 2024, the Company also carried out targeted monitoring of practices relating to incentive plans in the competitive context of Italian companieslisted in the FTSE MIB indexin the industrial and financialservicessector and European companies operating in similar sectors, using the analyses conducted by the consulting firm Mercer.

3.4 Tools and recipients
The purposes and principles of the Policy are reflected in the key elements of the remuneration of the Directors and Statutory Auditors (recipients of fixed remuneration only), and of the Executive Directors and directors with particular positions, as well as Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, as illustrated below.

Fixed component of remuneration
Fixed remuneration is commensurate with the role held and the responsibilities assigned, taking into account the experience, skills, contribution required, the remuneration indicated by the reference market for the role. It is sufficient to remunerate services provided, if the variable component is not disbursed, and this can be adjusted over time in compliance with the Policy's provisions.
For non-executive Directors, remuneration is limited to the fixed component only, in line with the Corporate Governance Code guidelines, and there is no form of variable remuneration connected with the achievement of performance objectives. Remuneration as a whole is determined in line with the complexity of the role and the commitment required, and is also commensurate with the tasks and responsibilities assigned.

The short- and long-term variable components, closely connected to the business plan, are an important part of the CEO-GM's pay mix, in order to recognize and enhance the results achieved in a sustainable way over time, aligning management behaviours with the objectives of the company's strategy, thus pursuing the creation of value for stakeholders. The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager's pay mix is indicated in the table below.

The executive and managerial parts of this position are inseparable, therefore, the termination of the managerial position also entails the termination of the duties and powers of the Chief Executive Officer and viceversa.
The remuneration package, assigned to the General Manager as an employee and described below, is also compensation for the position of Chief Executive Officer of Nexi and any other position, assignment of powers and/or responsibilities, undertaken during the relationship, in respect of which the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager does not receive any further remuneration.
Fixed Remuneration
The fixed salary for the position of General Manager approved by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2022 is Euro 1,500,000 gross per year.
Short term variable remuneration – MBO Plan
The Chief ExecutiveOfficer and General Manager, in a capacity as General Manager, is a beneficiary of the short-term variable incentive plan (MBO Plan) approved by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee.

With reference to the variable incentive plan (MBO Plan), the general configuration of this incentive currently in use at company level is illustrated below.
a. Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries are identified by banding and role.
b. Purposes
- Guide company performance in the short term by identifying objectives aligned with the strategy, the budget and annual economic and financial plans of the Company.
- Direct and focus people on the business priorities, encouraging their engagement, in compliance with the principles of mitigating main risks.
c. Structure
- There is an Entry Gate, below which the MBO Plan is not paid. The entry gate is represented by the achievement of at least 85% of the budget value for the Group EBITDA. Likewise, no MBO incentive is paid if the individual objectives assigned (referred to in the following point) are not achieved.
- In line with the Company'sstrategic driversfocused on profitable growth, innovation and technological/digital transformation, operational excellence, people engagement and sustainable value creation, the MBO Plan sets out predetermined, measurable and complementary economic-financial objectives and non-financial objectives (related to strategic projects and sustainability), as follows:
- corporate objectives (e.g. Group EBITDA, Group Excess Cash19)
- objectives specific to the Business Unit and Area (where applicable)
- ESG objectives: Customer Centricity (Net Promoter Score); People Value (Engagement Index resulting from the People Survey)20.
Each objective is associated with a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and a percentage weight, differentiated according to the role played and the responsibilities assigned.
The 2025 MBO Plan in place for the CEO-GM is illustrated below.

19 Operating cash flows net of interest expense and other cash items (cash taxes, IFRS 16 and other)
20 For the definitions of the KPIs relating to the Net Promoter Score and Engagement Index, reference is made to the section 'Key indicators of the Remuneration Policy' in the introductory section of this Report.

- Group EBITDA, Cash Costs, Customer Centricity and People Value are common objectives for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, with a configuration and weights consistent with their role and responsibilities.
- ESG targets are extended to all beneficiaries of the Group MBO Plan.
d. Target incentive and operating mechanisms
- The target incentive is the amount of the MBO bonus payable against the target achievement of the set objectives. It is equal to a percentage of the Gross Annual Remuneration ('RAL') and is differentiated according to the role held and the responsibilities assigned: for the CEO-GM, it corresponds to 100% of the RAL.
- The maximum MBO bonus payable cannot exceed 200% of the target incentive.
- For each objective and related KPI, the expected target, the minimum value (below or for values equal to which, the objective is considered not achieved) and the maximum value (above which the excess performance is not further remunerated) are defined. If the level of achievement of the objective is equal to or below the minimum value, the payout (amount of the incentive paid against the target) is equal to 0%; 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 higher than the maximum value, the payout is equal to 200% of the target incentive.
- With particular reference to Group EBITDA, the range of achievement of the objectives is between 90% (minimum value) and 105% (maximum value) according to an asymmetric linear curve and providesfor a different payout depending on the level of achievement of the objective. In particular, if the actual value reached is 100% of the target value, the payout is equal to 100%; if the actual value reached is equal to or less than 90% of the target value, the payout is equal to zero, while if the value actually reached is above 105% of the target value, the payout of the curve is at most equal to 200% of the target amount of the incentive; for intermediate values, the payout is calculated by linear interpolation.
The 2025 MBO plan of the CEO-GM is illustrated below with its objectives, KPIs, weights, target achievement range and payout range.

e. Malus and clawback clauses
Specific malus and clawback clauses are envisaged for MBO plans:
- malus clauses allow for the reduction or non-disbursement of the variable component in the event of a conduct, during the employment relationship, that has caused or may cause serious harm to or significant losses for Nexi or other Group companies;
- clawback clauses allow for the total or partial return of the variable component to be requested, in the event of a breach of the provisions in Article 114 -quinquies.3 of the Consolidated Law on Banking; in the event of a conduct during the employment relationship, that has caused or may cause serious harm to or significant losses for Nexi or other Group companies; or if the variable component has been disbursed based on data that are clearly incorrect.

f. Effects of termination of the relationship
The payment of the MBO bonus is subject to the beneficiary's employment relationship existing as at 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. If the CEO-GM's employment relationship ends during the year in the absence of just cause or in the event of resignation for just cause, the MBO bonus will be paid on a pro-rata temporis basis.
Long-term variable remuneration – LTI Plan
The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager are beneficiaries of the long-term incentive plan (2022-2024 LTI) approved on 10 March 2022 by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and, subsequently, by the Shareholders' Meeting of 5 May 2022.

- Guide the company's performance in the medium-/long-term by aligning management behaviours with the company strategy and risk management policies;
- retain the key people in the Group who hold high impact roles with the organisation and who have relevant skills, thus providing the Group with a competitive advantage and
- align management with the interests of Shareholders and Investors.
b. Beneficiaries
The plan beneficiaries are a selected panel of employees with permanent contracts, identified according to criteria of banding, performance and evaluation of potential for the bands for which such evaluation is available.
c. Characteristics for the CEO-GM
The Plan grants rights to receive free of charge a certain number of ordinary shares of Nexi S.p.A., at the end of a medium-/long-term period (three years):
- the allocated shares are Performance Shares: ordinary shares of the Company, whose transfer of ownership in favour of the employee is conditional on the achievement of set company performance objectives, referring to a specific period of time;
- the Plan has a three-year duration and grants rights to receive Nexi S.p.A shares on an annual basis;
- three cycles are therefore envisaged: 2025-2027, 2026-2028 and 2027-2029;
- to determine the number of rights to be granted, the arithmetic average of the share prices recorded in the thirty trading days prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting that will approve the financialstatements during the first year of each plan cycle will be taken into account;
- the vesting period21 is 3 years, with the transfer/vesting of the shares in rolling mode;
- there is a holding period22, equal to two years for 50% of the number of shares transferred according to the chart below.
21 The period between the date of granting the right and the date of final accrual of the right
22 An additional period when financial instruments are not traded, starting from the date of expiry of the vesting period.

d. Structure and operating mechanisms
- In line with the Company's strategic drivers, the following key indicators affect the accrual of Performance Shares:
- Cumulative Operating Cash Flow
- Relative Total Shareholder Return
- ESG Objectives
| CUMULATIVE OPERATING CASH FLOW | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| • The Cumulative Operating Cash Flow (OCF) is the OCF achieved overall in the vesting period. • The OCF is the amount of cash generated by business operations: |
|||||||||||
| DEFINITION | OCF = EBITDA - CAPEX - Transformation Cost 23 | ||||||||||
| • The Cumulative Target OCF is the sum of the annual OCFs contemplated in the Group's business plan approved by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such a plan approved by the Board of Directors, it is the sum of the OCFs of the annual budgets of the vesting period. • Cumulative OCF Delta = percentage change (Δ%) between the Cumulative Actual OCF and Cumulative Target OCF. |

| RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| • • |
The Relative Total Shareholder Return (Relative TSR) is the difference between the actual TSR and the benchmark. The actual TSR, namely, the total return on investment for the shareholder, is an indicator that measures the creation of value for said shareholder and is calculated by adding to the change in the share price during the vesting period, the dividends per share paid in the same period, according to the following formula: |
||||||||||
| (Final Price - Starting Price + Dividends) | |||||||||||
| DEFINITION AND CALCULATION MECHANISM |
Actual TSR = | Starting Price | |||||||||
| • The benchmark is constructed on the basis of the following indices: - Peer Group of 10 competitor Fintech companies: Adyen; Block; Edenred; Fis; Fiserve; Global Payments; Paypal; Temenos; TietoEVRY; Worldline (with a weight of 50%) - EURO STOXX Technology24 (with a weight of 25%) - Borsa Italiana FTSE MIB Index (with a weight of 25%). The benchmark is calculated as the weighted average of the percentage change of the aforementioned indices during the vesting period.

As indicated in the LTI Plan Information Document, in the event of extraordinary transactions (including mergers, demergers, capital increases or reductions, stock splitting, issue of convertible bonds) that involve or impact the Company, the Company may, at its discretion, amend the LTI Plan Regulation (including the Performance Objectives and the number of Shares) to keep the substantial and economic contents of the LTI Plan basically unchanged. If, as a result of changes to the applicable legal and regulatory framework (or as a result of changes in its interpretation and application), the implementation of the LTI Plan entails greater costs, expenses, responsibilities, liabilities, taxes, social security charges or charges of any kind for the Company, the Company will have the right to modify the terms of the Regulation at its discretion and unilaterally, including the right to cancel the LTI Plan or revoke it, communicating any change to the Beneficiaries.
24 Eurozone stock index created in 1998 by STOXX Limited as part of the STOXX Supersector indices which include a representation of the main industrial sectors of the area. The index covers 20 macro sectors (including Technology) defined according to the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB): companies are classified according to their primary source of revenue.

- The amount of Performance Shares accrued at the end of the vesting period is determined as described:
- 50% of the assigned amount will be linked to the Cumulative OCF KPI;
- 40% of the assigned amount will be linked to the Relative TSR KPI;
- 10% of the assigned amount will be linked to the ESG objective.
The achievement of each of these objectives must be verified independently.
- The payout below the minimum value is equal to 0% of the granted rights; the target payout is equal to 100% of the granted rights; the maximum payout is equal to 200% of the granted rights.
- The amount of the number of rights granted on a target basis, with reference to the CEO-GM, is equal to 130% of the RAL.
The LTI Plan for the CEO-GM is presented below.

g. Malus and clawback clauses
The LTI Plan has specific malus and clawback clauses, as defined in section 3.4 above.
h. Effects of termination of the relationship
Shares are allocated subject to the employment relationship continuing until the end of the vesting period, without notice following resignation or dismissal being in progress on that date. In the event that termination of the relationship occurs before that date:
- for beneficiaries qualified as good leavers, the allocation of shares will be made on a pro-rata temporis basis, taking into account the duration of the relationship during the vesting period and, with regard to Performance Shares, on the basis of the final performance targets, according to the normal rules provided for in the plan and in accordance with the general principle of pay-for-performance. The shares will be allocated in any case in the normal timeframes provided for in the plan, without any acceleration;

Benefits
The benefits package for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager consists of the supplementary pension contribution, as established by the company collective bargaining agreement for all Italian employees, insurance cover for death, for professional/ non-professional accidents with better conditions than the national collective bargaining agreement, equal for all senior managers, and insurance cover for the reimbursement of medical expenses dedicated to senior management.

In the above case of termination of the managerial relationship, on the Company's initiative, for reasons other than just cause, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager will also be entitled to receive, according to the terms and conditions established, the payments relating to the MBO Plan for the current year and the LTI plan for the current cycles, that may have accrued pro-rata temporis up to the time of termination.
The Chief Executive Officer and General Manager will also be entitled to this indemnity in the event of resignation for just cause from the managerial relationship and/or the executive relationship.

4.3 Executives with Strategic Responsibilities
Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are identified by the Board of Directors, as persons who have the power and responsibility, directly or indirectly, for the planning, direction and control of the Company's activities, pursuant to IAS 24, paragraph 9.
As from 1 January 2023, considering the new roles and areas of responsibility introduced by the new operating model (TOM – Target Operating Model), the Board of Directors has identified the following persons as Executives with Strategic Responsibilities of the Nexi Group:
- Deputy General Manager and Group Finance and Transformation;
- Group Information Technology Officer.
Remuneration for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities includes a fixed component, a variable component (short-term and longterm incentives), benefits and other instruments (post-employment payments and non-compete agreements).
The short-term and long-term variable components - as with the role of Chief Executive Officer and General Manager – are an important part of the pay mix in order to recognise and value the results achieved in a sustainable way over time, aligning management behaviours with the company's strategy, thus creating value for stakeholders.

The average pay mix25 of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is shown in the table below.

AVERAGE PAY MIX ESRS
Fixed Remuneration
According to the Remuneration Policy, fixed remuneration is defined in accordance with the responsibilities and impact of the role, to ensure fair treatment and competitiveness with respect to the reference market. Fixed remuneration is sufficient to recognise performance, even if the variable components are not disbursed.On 27 February 2025, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the fixed salary for one of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.
Short term variable remuneration – MBO Plan
Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are beneficiaries of the short-term variable incentive plan (MBO Plan) approved by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, according to the approach, structure and operating mechanisms already outlined in chapter 4.2., in the section Short-term variable remuneration.
More specifically:
- 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 sets out predetermined, measurable and complementary economic-financial and non-financial objectives (related to strategic projects and sustainability), as follows:
- 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 played and the responsibilities assigned;
- Group EBITDA, Cash Costs, Customer Centricity and People Value are common objectives for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, with a configuration and weights consistent with their role and responsibilities.
25 The figures take into account the increase for one of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities in fixed and variable remuneration approved by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2025.

The MBO plan for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is therefore as follows.

- The target incentive is the amount of the MBO bonus payable against the target achievement of the set objectives. It is equal to a percentage of the Gross Annual Remuneration ('RAL') and is differentiated according to the role held and the responsibilities assigned: for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities the target value is up to 100% of the RAL26.
- The maximum MBO bonus payable cannot exceed 200% of the target incentive.
- For each objective and related KPI, the expected target and the range within which the objective is considered not reached (minimum value) or reached at the maximum level (maximum value) are defined.
- If the level of achievement of the objective is equal to or below the minimum value, the payout (amount of the incentive paid against the target) is equal to 0%; 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 higher than the maximum value, the payout is equal to 200% of the target incentive.
- Malus and clawback clauses are envisaged27.
- The payment of the MBObonusissubject to the beneficiary's employment relationship existing as at31 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, without prejudice to the right of the Board of Directors to make exceptions in the presence of specific circumstances.
Long-term variable remuneration – LTI Plan
Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are beneficiaries of the long-term variable incentive plan (2022-2024 LTI) approved by the Board of Directors on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee on 10 March 2022 and subsequently by the Shareholders' Meeting of 5 May 2022, according to allocation criteria determined by individual performance based on WHAT (results achieved) and HOW (individual organisational behaviour).
This LTI Plan ended in 2024 with the third and last cycle, according to the rules and operating mechanisms of the LTI Plan illustrated in Section I of the Report on remuneration and compensation paid approved in 2024 by the Shareholders' Meeting.
With reference to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, the new 2025-2027 LTI Plan generally presents the characteristics, operating mechanisms and clauses already outlined in chapter 4.2. in the section Long-term variable remuneration, relating to the CEO-GM.
26 On 27 February 2025, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the variable salary for one of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities in relation to the maximum percentage indicated above. 27 As described in chapter 4.2. in the section Short-term variable remuneration.

More specifically:
- the long-term incentive plan grants rights to receive free of charge ordinary shares of Nexi S.p.A. over a medium-/long-term period (three years). The allocated shares are Performance Shares: ordinary shares of the Company, whose transfer of ownership in favour of the employee is conditional on the achievement of set company performance objectives (Relative Total Shareholder Return, Cumulative Operating Cash Flow, ESG objectives) and referring to a three-year vesting period;
- the amount of the number of Performance Shares rights, with reference to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, is equal to 100% of the Gross Annual Remuneration (RAL);
- where previously determined circumstances occur, attributable to the need to attract or retain key resources in highly competitive international and/or cross-sector contexts, Restricted Shares may also be allocated to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities (excluding the CEO-GM), with accrual subject to a vesting period that may be from a minimum of 2 up to a maximum of 3 years, with the possibility of splitting the vesting period, as described in the 2025-2027 LTI Plan Information Document. Restricted Shares may only be allocated in the circumstances indicated, once during the duration of the 2025-2027 LTI Plan. If Restricted Shares are allocated, the amount of the relative number of rights, with reference to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, may not exceed, on an annual basis, two-thirds of the fixed remuneration. The allocation of Restricted Shares to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, after receiving the opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and through an enhanced governance process involving the Related-Party Transactions Committee for relevant assessments. The number of Restricted Shares rights granted will be calculated on the basis of the arithmetic average of the share prices recorded in the thirty trading days prior to the date of the Board Meeting that will approve the granting;
- the 2025-2027 LTI Plan has:
- a holding period28, equal to two years for 50% of the number of shares allocated;
- malus and clawback clauses;
- relationship termination conditions: good leaver and bad leaver.
Benefits
The benefits package consists of the supplementary pension contribution, as established by the company collective bargaining agreement for all Italian employees, insurance cover for death, for professional/non-professional accidents and the reimbursement of medical expenses with better conditions than the national collective bargaining agreement, equal for all senior managers.
Company cars for personal/business use are also assigned, and the procedure is regulated. Other benefits are incorporated into contracts at an individual level and may include the assignment of accommodation or a housing allowance.
On the basis of contractual forecasts prior to the listing, in view of the transition to the contribution-based pension system, a compensatory economic treatment for the consequent negative social security impact was attributed on an individual basis, to an extent not exceeding the lower company cost.
Payments in the case of termination of the employment relationship
For Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, specific payments may be provided, based on individual agreements, in the event of termination of the employment relationship for a reason other than just cause, which cover the payment of an amount including the indemnity in lieu of notice and any other legal and contractual entitlement (with the exception only of post-employment benefit), equal to 24 gross monthly payments calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 2121 of the Italian Civil Code; this payment is maid only against the signing of a settlement agreement with the waiver of any claim or demand connected with or occasioned by the employment relationship and its termination.
28 An additional period when financial instruments are not traded, starting from the end of the vesting period.

Other instruments
If there are high competitive risks, related to the critical nature of the role held by the Executive, non-compete agreements may be entered into with defined payments for a maximum amount of 12 months of the annual global remuneration and under the required conditions of the scope, duration and validity of the agreement.

These values are indicated in Table 3A. Against a share price at the beginning of the vesting period, equal to Euro 13.976/share36, with respect to which the rights originally granted were calculated, the valuation shown in Table 3A is carried out considering the price recorded at 30/12/2024, at the end of the vesting period, as being equal to Euro 5.360/share.
