4. Proposal to approve a plan for the free granting of rights to receive ordinary Company shares entitled "Performance Shares Plan 2019-2021".
With reference to the fourth point on the agenda, we hereby submit to your attention, in accordance with article 114-bis, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/ 1998, a plan for the free allocation of rights to receive ordinary shares of Openjobmetis entitled Performance Shares Plan 2019-2021 (the "Plan"), subject to the achievement of specific performance targets, reserved for directors vested with particular offices and/or executives in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, as well as managers with strategic responsibilities and other key employees, in strategic or operational matters, holding an open-ended contract with the Company.
The framework of the Plan was defined by the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee.
The characteristics and purposes of the said Plan are illustrated in the information document drafted by the Company pursuant to article 84-bis of the Regulation adopted by Consob through Resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation"), made available to the public at the registered office, on the Company website, www.openjobmetis.it, as well as according to the procedures and time frames laid down in the legislation in force and set forth in full in the annex to this Report, which should be referred to as necessary.
The Plan is structured into three annual assignment tranches (2019, 2020 and 2021).
The performance targets for each tranche are identified by the Board of Directors, following consultation, for matters within its purview, of the Remuneration Committee, and will be measured with reference to the relevant three-year vesting period for each tranche and, therefore, (i) with reference to the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 for the first tranche, (ii) with reference to the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the second tranche and (iii) with reference to the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 for the third tranche.
For each of the three tranches, the Board of Directors shall identify the individual Beneficiaries by determining, for each, the base number of shares, i.e. the number of shares to which the Beneficiary will be entitled in the event of achievement of 100% of the performance targets according to the terms and conditions laid down in the Plan.
In particular, the rights to receive shares will accrue in relation to the achievement of specific consolidated adjusted and cumulative EBITDA and Total Shareholder Return values. Each of these indicators has a relative weight of 50% of the total of the base number of shares, in such a way that, by way of example, the achievement of 100% of the performance target identified with reference to the consolidated adjusted and cumulative EBITDA will entail the assignment of 50% of the base number of shares and the achievement of 100% of the performance target identified with reference to the Total Shareholder Return will entail the assignment of the remaining 50% of the base number of shares.
The vesting of the right to receive shares and, therefore, the assignment of shares to the extent envisaged in the Plan, are subject to the Beneficiary's being under contract with the Company on the date of assignment, as well as the achievement of the minimum performance target identified by the Board of Directors with reference to at least one of the two envisaged performance indicators. The Plan provides for the effects of termination of the employment contract between the Beneficiary and the Company before the assignment date with clauses which, according to best practices, distinguish between so-called bad leaver hypotheses and so-called good leaver hypotheses, with the former entailing the loss of any right to receive shares, and the latter the keeping of such a right re-proportioned based on the time during which the contract was in effect during the vesting period.
The objectives of the Plan are as follows:
(i) to create value for the Company, by aligning the objectives of key figures from the strategic or operational perspective of the Company, with pursuing the goal of creating value for the Company's shareholders over the medium to long term;
(ii) to attract, keep and motivate managers in possession of outstanding professional skills and who hold key positions within the Group;
(iii) to reward the loyalty of Beneficiaries by increasing the Company's ability to keep the key resources already within the Group and the Company's competitiveness on the employment market to attract the best available talents.
The maximum number of Company shares, which may be assigned under the Plan, is 290,966. The Company intends to use the treasury shares already held in the portfolio for the Plan.

2. REASONS BEHIND THE ADOPTION OF THE PLAN
2.1 Objectives that the plan allocation are intended to meet.
The objectives of the Plan are as follows:
- (i) create value for the Company, by aligning the objectives of key figures from a strategic or operational standpoint for the Company, to the pursuit of the objective of creating value for the Company's Shareholder's in a medium-to-long term context;
- (ii) attract, retain and motivate managers that display high professional standards and occupy key positions within the Group;
- (iii) enhance the loyalty of Beneficiaries by increasing the Company's capacity to retain the key resources already found within the Group and the Company's competitive edge on the labour market to attract the best available talents.
2.2 Key variables, even in the form of performance indicators considered for the purpose of assigning the plans based on financial instruments.
The accrual of the Right to Receive Shares and, therefore, the Allocation of Shares to the extent established in accordance with the Plan, are subordinate to the fulfilment of the following conditions:
- (i) that on the Date of Share Allocation there is Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company; and
- (ii) that the Minimum Performance Objective has been achieved with reference to at least one of the following performance indicators, each carrying a relative weight of 50%:
- Rectified Consolidated and Cumulated EBITDA, and
- the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return calculated compared to the TSRs of the Companies included in the Panel.
2.3 Elements on which the calculation of the entity of the fee based on financial instruments is based, or the criteria for its calculation.
For each of the three Tranches, the Board of Directors will identify by name the Beneficiaries assigning to each Beneficiary the Right to Receive the Shares and calculating, for each of them, the Base Number of Shares, meaning the number of Shares that each Beneficiary is entitled to if 100% of the Performance Objectives are reached according to the terms and conditions foreseen by the Plan.
The identification of the Beneficiaries for each Tranche and the calculation of the Base Number of Shares that may be assigned to each Beneficiary will be made by the Board of Directors, at their unquestionable discretion, as proposed by the Managing Director and with a prior opinion from the Remuneration Committee, for Beneficiaries other than the Managing Director and as proposed by the Remuneration Committee where the Beneficiary of the Plan is the Managing Director and - in the instances regulated by art. 2389, third paragraph of the Italian Civil code - having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, having regard for the Company's interests, taking into account, among other things, the importance of the resource in relation to Company results, the strategic relevance of the position held within the Company, the resource's potential and every other element that may be useful or relevant with regard to the objectives of creating value for the Company and the Group as reflected in the definition of the Performance Objectives.
2.4 Reasons for any decision to assign compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of financial instruments, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries or controlling companies or third party companies in terms of Group membership; if said instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to establish the value to be assigned to them.
The Plan does not foresee the allocation of compensation based on financial instruments other than those issued by the Company.
2.5 Considerations regarding significant implications of a tax and accounting nature that have had a bearing on the definition of the plans.
No particular implications of a tax and/or accounting nature have had a bearing on the definition of the plans.
2.6 Possibility of gaining support for the plan from the Special Fund for the promotion of employee interest in companies, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003.
The Plan does not receive any support from the Special Fund for the promotion of employee interest in companies, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003.
3. PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL AND TIMEFRAME FOR THE ALLOCATION OF THE SHARES
3.1 Scope of the powers and functions delegated by the Shareholder's Meeting to the Board of Directors in order to implement the plan.
The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2019, based on the findings of the preparatory work carried out by the Remuneration Committee. On the same date the Board of Directors resolved to submit the Plan to to the approval of the Company's Shareholder's Meeting pursuant to and for the effects of art. 114-bis of TUF.
At the Company's Shareholder's Meeting it will also be proposed that the Board of Directors be granted the broadest required and advisable power to arrange and ensure complete and integral implementation of the Plan included herein, by way of non-limiting example, the power to (i) identify the Beneficiaries and the Performance Objectives, (ii) calculate the Base Number of Shares to be allocated to each Beneficiary, based on which the Board of Directors will calculate the number of actual Shares to be allocated to each Beneficiary based on the level of achievement, or possible exceeding, of the same performance objectives, under the terms and conditions foreseen by the same plan and, in any case, within the maximum number of shares to be allocated to the plan as established by the Shareholder's Meeting, (iii) exercise all powers and functions assigned to the Board of Directors by the Plan and make all necessary decisions, (iv) make Treasury Shares owned by the Company available for the Plan; (v) draft and approve the Plan regulation and introduce the amendments and/or integrations that may be considered necessary and/or advisable in the event of extraordinary transactions that concern the Company and/or the Group; and (iv) take steps to inform the market, draft and/or finalise every document required or advisable for the Plan, pursuant to applicable legislative and regulatory dispositions, as well as, generally speaking, the adoption of the resolutions passed by the Shareholder's Meeting with regard to the Plan.

3.3 Existing procedures, if any, for the revision of the plans in relation to possible variations in the basic objectives.
If, during the Vesting Period, a Takeover Bid or a Change of Control takes place, the Board of Directors will have the right, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee and at its own unquestionable discretion, to award the Shares for that Vesting Period in advance and to establish the number bearing in mind the Group's most recent results.
As a result any other events that are likely to have a bearing on the Company, the Group, on the Performance Objectives or the Plan (including, by way of mere non-limiting example, extraordinary transactions concerning the Company, legislative changes, significant variations in the macro-economic or international monetary policy conditions) the Board of Directors, independently and without the need for further approval by the Company's Shareholder's Meeting, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, may make any amendments and supplements to the Plan and its implementation documents, the Regulation and/or the Right to Receive Shares and/or the Base Number of Shares that may be deemed necessary and/or advisable, in order to keep the essential
and economic content of the Plan unchanged, with regard to the objectives and purposes that the same pursues.
3.4 Description of the procedures by which the availability and allocation of the financial instruments on which the plans are based can be calculated (for example: free allocation of shares, capital increases with the exclusion of the option right, purchase and sale of treasury shares).
On the date of this Information Document the Company owns no. 411,360 treasury shares. Bearing in mind that the maximum number of Shares required for the Plan amounts to no. 290,966, the Company intends to use the treasury shares in its portfolio to service the Plan.

Among the categories of Plan Beneficiaries there are also Directors assigned specific positions.
Any Board resolution assigning the Right to Receive Shares to Beneficiaries who hold Directorships shall be adopted in compliance with applicable regulatory provisions.
3.6 For the purpose of the requirements of art. 84-bis, paragraph 1, the date of the decision reached by the competent organism to submit the approval of the plans to the Shareholder's Meeting and of any proposal made for remuneration.
The Remuneration Committee has outlined the Plan's architecture through preparatory work that took place starting in the month of September 2018. On 12 February 2019 the Committee set out the guidelines for the Plan and on 19 February 2019 referred to the Board of Directors the outcome of the activities undertaken. Finally, the Committee passed a resolution on the final proposal to be submitted to the Board of Directors relative to the Plan on 14 March 2019.
On the same date, the Board of Directors, as proposed by the Remuneration Committee, passed a resolution to approve the Plan adoption proposal and to submit the same to the approval of the Shareholder's Meeting.

The Plan and the instruments provided for its implementation will be submitted for approval at the Shareholder's Meeting of 17 April 2019. After the Shareholder's Meeting, if the Plan and the related accessory resolutions are approved, the Board of Directors will meet to pass the relevant resolutions for the implementation of the Plan itself.
According to the terms of the Plan, the Board of Directors may identify the Beneficiaries for each Tranche, once the Plan has been approved by the Shareholder's Meeting, even in more than a single Right Allocation Date, providing it is within the following periods, respectively;
(a) on the date of approval of the Company's financial statements at 31 December 2018 and up to 30 June 2019 for the first Tranche;
- (b) on the date of approval of the Company's financial statements at 31 December 2019 and up to 30 June 2020 for the second Tranche;
- (c) on the date of approval of the Company's financial statements at 31 December 2020 and up to 30 June 2021 for the third Tranche;
The resolutions that are passed by the Board of Directors for the implementation of the Plan, must be made public pursuant to art. 84-bis, paragraph 5, lett. a) of the Issuers' Regulations.
3.8 The market price, recorded on the aforementioned dates, for the financial instruments on which the plans are based, if traded on regulated markets.
The official price of the Shares on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (Screen based stock exchange) on the dates detailed in the preceding Paragraph 3.6 was as follows:
| 12 February 2019 | € | 7.20 |
|---|---|---|
| 19 February 2019 | € | 7.21 |

3.9 For plans based on financial instruments traded on regulated markets, in what terms and according to what procedures does the issuer take into account, when identifying the time frame for allocation of the instruments involved in the implementation of the plans, the possible temporal coincidence between: (i) said allocation and possible resolutions taken on this point by the remuneration's committee, and (ii) the distribution of any relevant information pursuant to art. 114, paragraph 1, TUF, for example, in the event that said information is: a. not yet public and likely to positively influence market prices, or b. already published and likely to negatively influence market prices.
The Shares shall only be allocated at the end of the Vesting Period and provided the maturity conditions outlined under paragraph 2.2 have been met. Consequently, any distribution of privileged information at the time of allocating the Rights would not explain appreciable effects on the Plan caused by the conduct of the Beneficiaries who, at that time, cannot carry out any share trading operations on Shares, seeing as their delivery is differed to a later time compared to that of allocation of the same Rights.
The procedure for Right allocation and Share deliver will take place, in any case, with full compliance with the information obligations which the Company is required to satisfy, in order to ensure the transparency and fairness of the information provided to the market, and compliance with the procedures adopted by the Company.
4. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INSTRUMENTS ALLOCATED
4.1 Description of the structural formats on which the compensation plans based on financial instruments are based.
The purpose of the Plan is the free allocation of the conditional, free and non-transferable right by deed inter vivos to the Beneficiaries, according to the terms and conditions foreseen by the same Plan; free ordinary Company shares dependant on the achievement of specific Performance Objectives and in relation to the degree said Performance Objectives are met.
4.2 Indication of the period of actual effectiveness of the plan also with reference to any different cycles foreseen.
The Plan is divided into three Tranches of annual allocations (2019, 2020, 2021), each with its own three-year Vesting Period.
The Performance Objectives for each Tranche are identified by the Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee regarding the aspect under its remit, and shall be measured with reference to the relative Vesting Period and, therefore (i) with reference to the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 for the first Tranche, (ii) with reference to the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the second Tranche and (iii) with reference to the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 for the third Tranche.
Following approval by the Company's Shareholder's Meeting of the financial statements for the year closing at 31 December of the last year of the Vesting Period and in any case within the fifteenth Business Day following the approval of said financial statements, the Board of Directors shall assess whether the conditions detailed under the preceding Paragraph 2.2 have been met and will then proceed to calculate, based on the Base Number of Shares, the actual number of Shares that shall go to each Beneficiary in relation to the level of achievement of the Performance Objectives.
The Company shall proceed to Allocate the actual number of Shares owed to each Beneficiary within 30 Business Days of the Verification Date.
4.3 Plan end date.
The Board of Directors may identify the Beneficiaries of the third and last Tranche by 30 June 2021.
The Allocation of the Shares for the last Tranche must take place within 30 Business Days of the relative Verification Date which may not be more than fifteen Business Days after the date of approval by the Company's Shareholder's Meeting of the financial statements for the year ending on 31 December 2023.
4.4 Maximum number of financial instruments, even in the form of options, allocated each tax year for subjects nominally identified or categories indicated.
The maximum number of Shares that may be assigned pursuant to the execution of the Plan amount to 290,966.
4.5 Plan execution procedures and clauses, specifying whether the actual allocation of the instruments is dependent on the meeting of certain conditions or the successful achievement of specific results even in terms of performance; description of said conditions and results.
As indicated in Paragraph 2.2, the vesting of the Right to Receive Shares and, therefore, the Allocation of the Shares to the extent established based on this Regulation, are subordinated to the continuation of the Employment Relationship of the Beneficiary with the Company at the Date of Allocation as well as the achievement of the Minimum Objective with reference to at least one of the two performance indicators foreseen by the Plan, meaning the Company's Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA and the Total Shareholder Return calculated compared to the TSRs of the Companies included in the Panel.
Each indicator carries a weight equal to 50% of the total Base Number of Shares, so that, by way of example, on achieving 100% of the Performance Objective identified with reference to the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA shall entail the allocation of 50% of the Base Number of Shares and the achievement of 100% of the Performance Objective identified with reference to the Total Shareholder Return shall entail the allocation of the remaining 50% of the Base Number of Shares.
A. Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA
The Performance Objective based on the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA (i) with reference to the first Tranche, amounts to the sum of the Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA indicated in the annual consolidated budgets for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 (it being understood that, in the event of approval of multi-year plans, the annual budget that needs to be considered for each year will be the one in the multi-year plan in which the year in question is the first), while (ii) with reference to Tranches subsequent to the first, the Board of Directors may establish the Performance Objective based on the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA for the annual budgets according to the same criteria applied to the first Tranche or with reference to the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA values indicated in the multi-year industrial plans for the relevant Vesting Period (the values in points (i) and (ii) being known as the "Adjusted EBITDA Target Objective").
With reference to the Performance Objective based on the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA, each Beneficiary will be allocated a percentage of the First Share Quota in accordance with the following table:
| % of achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA Target Objective (OP) |
Shares allocated as a % in relation to the First Share Quota (PQA) |
|---|---|
| OP < 90% | 0% |
| 90%≤ OP ≤ 100% | 50%≤ PQA ≤ 100% |
| 100% < OP ≤ 110% |
100% < PQA ≤ 120% |
| OP > 110% | 120% |
| The intermediate values are calculated by linear interpolation. |
- ÿ If the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant Vesting Period is under 90% of the Adjusted Cumulative EBITDA Target Objective, the Beneficiary shall not have any right to any percentage of the First Quota of Shares.
- ÿ If the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant Vesting Period is equivalent to 90% of the Adjusted EBITDA Target Objective ("Cumulative EBITDA Minimum Objective"), the Beneficiary shall have the right to 50% of the First Quota of Shares.
- ÿ If the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant Vesting Period is included between 90% and 100% of the Adjusted EBITDA Target Objective, the Beneficiary shall have the right to a percentage of the First Quota of Shares included between 50% and 100% calculated by linear interpolation.
- ÿ If the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant Vesting Period is included between 100% and 110% of the Adjusted EBITDA Target Objective, the Beneficiary shall have the right to a percentage of the First Quota of Shares included between 100% and 120% calculated by linear interpolation.
- ÿ For values of the Adjusted Cumulative Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant Vesting Period for which the latter exceeds 110% of the Adjusted EBITDA Target Objective ("Cumulative EBITDA Maximum Objective"), the Beneficiary shall be entitled to a percentage of the First Quota of Shares equal to and no greater than 120%.
B. Total Shareholder Return
The Performance Objective based on the TSR is understood as having been met when the Company's TSR is positioned on the median of the TSRs of Companies included in the Panel ("TSR Target Objective"), where by median of the TSRs we consider the central value of the distribution of TSRs of the Panel Companies, or the value that separates the 50% of higher TSRs from the 50% of lower TSRs.
With reference to the Performance Objective based on the TSR, each Beneficiary will be allocated a percentage of
the First Share Quota in accordance with the following table:
| Positioning of the Company's TSR (TSR OJM) compared to the TSRs of the Companies included in the Panel. |
Shares allocated as a % in relation to the Second Share Quota (SQA) |
|---|---|
| TSR OJM < Median | 0% |
| Median ≤ TSR OJM ≤ Third quartile | 50%≤ SQA ≤ 100% |
| Third Quartile < TSR OJM ≤ Ninth decile |
100% < SQA ≤ 120% |
| TSR OJM > Ninth Decile | 120% |
| The intermediate values are calculated by linear interpolation. |
- ÿ If the Company's TSR is lower than the median of TSRs for Panel Companies, the Beneficiary shall have no right to any percentage of the Second Quota of Shares.
- ÿ If the Company's TSR is equal to the median of TSRs for Panel Companies (the "Comparative Minimum TSR Objective"), the Beneficiary shall have the right to 50% percent of the Second Quota of Shares.
- ÿ If the Company's TSR is lower than the median and the third quartile of TSRs for Panel Companies, the Beneficiary shall have a right to a percentage of the Second Quota of Shares ranging between 50% and 100% calculated using the linear interpolation method, where the third quartile of the TSRs is the value of the TSR distribution of Panel Companies that separates the 25% with higher TSRs to the 75% with lower TSRs.
- ÿ If the Company's TSR ranges between the third quartile and the ninth decile of the TSRs of the Panel Companies, the Beneficiary shall have a right to a percentage of the Second Quota of Shares ranging between 100% and 120% calculated using the linear interpolation method, where the ninth decile of the TSRs is the value of the TSR distribution of Panel Companies that separates the 10% with higher TSRs to the 90% with lower TSRs.
- ÿ If the Company's TSR is higher than the ninth decile of the TSRs of the Panel Companies, the Beneficiary will be entitled to a percentage of the Second Quota of Shares equal to and never exceeding 120%.
The Performance Objective based on the Adjusted Consolidated Cumulative EBITDA and the Performance Objective based on the TSR are independent Performance Objectives. If the Minimum Objective is not exceeded based on one of the two indicators the Shares based on meeting of the Performance Objective based on the other indicator may in any case be assigned.
4.6 Indication of any availability constraints on the instruments to be allocated or on the instruments resulting from the exercise of options, with particular reference to the terms within which it is allowed or forbidden the subsequent transfer to the same company or to third parties.
Each Beneficiary that is a Director shall be subject to a Lock-Up Commitment on 50% of the Shares assigned to the same pursuant to the Plan with the following duration: (i) from the Date of Allocation up to the date of termination of their assignment with reference to 25% of the Shares assigned to the same and (ii) from the Date of Allocation to the last day of the fifteenth month subsequent to the Date of Allocation with reference to a further 25% of the Shares assigned to the same.
Each Beneficiary that is an Executives with strategic responsibilities shall be subject to a Lock-Up Commitment on 50% of the Shares assigned to the same pursuant to the Plan with the following duration: (i) from the Date of Allocation up to the last day of the sixth month subsequent to the Assignment Date and (ii) from the Date of Allocation to the last day of the twelfth month subsequent to the Date of Allocation with reference to a further 25% of the Shares assigned to the same.
4.7 Description of any termination conditions with reference to the allocation plans if any of the Beneficiaries engage in hedging operations that enable to neutralise any bans on sales of allocated financial instruments, even in the form of options, or financial instruments resulting from the exercise of said options.
Not applicable.
4.8 Description of the effects resulting from the termination of the employment relationship.
In the event of a termination of the employment Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company prior to the Share Allocation Date owing to (i) voluntary resignation by the Beneficiary not supported by just cause or by one of the reasons detailed in the subsequent paragraph (even in the event that by the Share Allocation Date the termination of the Relationship has not yet become effective but the Company has received a formal communication to this end from the Beneficiary); (ii) revocation for just cause or lapsing of the mandate as Director; (iii) resignation from the position of Director pursuant to art. 2385, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code or (iv) dismissal for just cause or justified reason, the Beneficiary shall be definitely excluded from any rights granted by the Plan, including the Right to Receive Shares, without the right of the Beneficiary receiving any indemnity and/or reimbursement of any kind (so called bad leaver conditions).
If the Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company is terminated before the Share Allocation Date owing to (i) mutually agreed contract termination; (ii) voluntary resignation of the Beneficiary in order to access their pension plan or for other just causes; (iii) retirement; (iv) revocation without just cause of the position of Director; (v) natural lapsing of a Director's term; (vi) dismissal without just cause or justified reason; (vii) ensuing permanent physical or mental disability or handicap of the Beneficiary that prevents the continuation of the Relationship or (viii) death of the Beneficiary; the Beneficiary (or his/her heirs or assignees once the heirs have filed their inheritance claim and fulfilled all current tax dispositions, as far as they apply), without prejudice to compliance with the obligations, procedures and terms of this Regulation, will have the right to maintain the Right to Receive Shares with reference to a Base Number of Shares that will be recalculated and adjusted based on the time during which the Relationship remained effective during the Vesting Period (so called good leaver conditions).
It is understood that (a) the natural lapsing of the position of Director followed by immediate renewal without interruption shall not be considered a termination of the Relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company and (b) the Right to Receive Shares shall in any case remain pending from the moment when any letter indicating disciplinary proceedings is sent up until the moment the disciplinary proceedings are completed.
The Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, may reach decisions that are more favourable to the Beneficiaries.
4.9 Indication of other possible reasons for cancellation of the plans.
If the Company's shares are de-listed during the Vesting Period, the Plan will cease to be effective and the Board will have the right, at its own unquestionable discretion, having heard the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, to pass all required resolutions.
4.10 Reasons related to any possible "redemption" provision, by the company, on the financial
instruments that are the object of the plan, enacted pursuant to articles 2357 and following of the Italian Civil Code; beneficiaries of the redemption indicating whether the same is only intended for certain categories of employees; effects of the termination of the working relationship on said redemption.
If the achievement of the Performance Objectives has been influenced by wilful or negligent conduct on behalf of the Beneficiary or by behaviour engaged in by the same in violation of the applicable regulations (whether corporate, legal, regulatory or issuing from any other source) or the Performance Objectives have been achieved based on data that prove subsequently to be manifestly incorrect, the Company, without prejudice to its right to be reimbursed of any further damage, will have the right, within the legal prescription terms, to obtain from the Beneficiary the payment of a sum equal to the value of the Shares assigned to the same as calculated on the Allocation Date.

TABLE
Seeing as at the time of this Information Document the Rights to Receive Shares have not been assigned pursuant to the Plan, the Table no.1 foreseen under paragraph 4.24 of Chart 7 of Attachment 3A to the Issuers' Regulations, will be supplied in accordance with the procedures detailed in art. 84-bis, paragraph 5, lett. a) of the Issuers' Regulations.
5. Appointment of a Board of Directors pursuant to article 2386, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, and article 15.16 of the articles of association. Related and ensuing resolutions.
With reference to the fifth item on the agenda, on 04 February 2019, Dr Fabrizio Viola resigned from his post as non-executive and independent Director of Openjobmetis due to professional commitments, which made it impossible for him to continue in the role. The Company provided adequate information about the circumstances in a press release dated 05 February 2019.
Following this resignation, on 14 March 2019, the Board of Directors, with the consent of the Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed through co-opting, pursuant to article 2386 of the Italian Civil Code and article 15.6 of the Articles of Association, Dr Carlo Gentili, who will remain in office until the next Shareholders' Meeting on 17 April 2019.
The next Meeting, convened on single call on 17 April 2019, is therefore called to appoint a member of the Board of Directors. The Director thus appointed will remain in office until the natural end of the term of office of the current Board, i.e. until the Meeting called to resolve on the approval of the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2020.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Board of Directors wishes to propose that the Shareholders' Meeting convened on 17 April 2019 confirm Dr Carlo Gentili as a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
The term of office of the Director appointed by the Meeting will expire at the same time as the Board of Directors currently in office, i.e. at the Meeting convened to approve the financial statements at 2020, and his remuneration will be that set by the Meeting on 24 April 2018, as divided subsequently by the Board of Directors in a resolution on 24 April 2018, published in the 2018 Remuneration Report, which may be consulted on the Company website at [https://investitori.openjobmetis.it/it/corporategovernance/documenti-societari].
To this end, a document has been appended to this report containing exhaustive information on the personal and professional characteristics of Dr Carlo Gentili, along with a declaration whereby he accepts the candidacy and declares, under his own responsibility, that there are no grounds for ineligibility or incompatibility, and that he satisfies that requirements laid down in the legislation and Articles of Association for the office, with reference also to the general criteria identified by the Board of Directors for determining the maximum number of offices that may be held by its members.
It should be noted that:
- ß in accordance with article 15.1 of the Articles of Association, "the Company is governed by a Board of Directors composed of no fewer than 7 (seven) and no more than 13 (thirteen) members. The Meeting shall set the number of members within the aforementioned limits". On 24 April 2018, the Shareholders' Meeting set the number of members of the Board of Directors as 9 (nine);
- ß in accordance with article 15.15 of the Articles of Association, "in cases where only one slate is submitted or cases where no slate is submitted, the Meeting shall decide by the majorities stipulated by law, in accordance with the binding legal and regulatory provisions in force concerning directors in possession of the independence requirements and regarding gender balance, without following the procedure indicated above. The procedure of voting for a slate will only apply in the case of renewal of the entire Board of Directors"; The Meeting will therefore be called to resolve on the appointment of the member of the Board of Directors without application of the slate voting procedure, according to the majorities stipulated by law;
ß for the purposes of appointing the new Director, the provision set forth in point 15.16 of the Articles of Association will not apply, since the resigning Director had been drawn from a slate that did not contain the names of unelected candidates.
