c) how the company took into account the compensation and working conditions of its employees in determining the remuneration policy;
The Remuneration Policy is determined taking into account the remuneration and working conditions of its employees. In particular, the Policy consists of tools and logics, applied to a large part of the company's population, aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining people with the professional qualities necessary to contribute to the definition of the Company's growth strategy and to the strengthening of PHN's long-term interests and sustainability.
In particular, the Policy is defined on the basis of specific criteria, including comparison with the reference market, the characteristics of the role and the responsibilities assigned, as well as the distinctive skills of people, always with a view to maximum objectivity, in order to avoid any form of discrimination. The Policy is based on the principles of equity, equal opportunities, meritocracy and competitiveness with respect to the reference market, as well as on an adequate balance of the fixed and variable components of remuneration.
d) the names of any independent experts involved in the preparation of the remuneration policy;
In preparing the Remuneration Policy, the Company did not rely on the support of independent experts.
e) the purposes pursued by the remuneration policy, the principles underlying it, the duration and, in the event of a revision, a description of the changes with respect to the remuneration policy last submitted to the shareholders' meeting and how such revision takes into account the votes and assessments expressed by shareholders at or after that meeting;
The Company's Remuneration Policy – and, in particular, the policy on variable components of remuneration – contributes to the corporate strategy and the pursuit of not only short-term, but also medium-long term interests and the sustainability of the Company.
The Policy is functional to the pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company and takes into account the need to have, retain and motivate people with the competence and professionalism required by the role held in the Company. With this in mind, the Policy is defined in such a way as to ensure an overall remuneration structure capable of recognising the managerial value of the persons involved and the contribution made to the company's growth in relation to their respective skills and functions.
A significant part of the remuneration of the Executive Directors is linked to the economic results achieved by the Issuer and to the achievement of specific pre-set objectives, even if not exclusively in the short term.

CERTIFIED
The incentive system for executive directors also recognises a balance between the fixed and variable components that is adequate and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, taking into account the characteristics of the company's activities and the sector in which the Company operates, it being understood that the variable part represents a significant part of the total remuneration.
The performance objectives, to which the payment of the variable components of the Executive Directors is linked, are predetermined, measurable and linked to a significant extent to a long-term horizon. They are consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and are aimed at promoting its sustainable success, including, where relevant, also non-financial parameters.
It should be noted that the Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors on 17 March 2026, on the proposal of the Committee, has a duration of three years and in particular with reference to the financial years 2026-2028 and, compared to the text of the policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 16 April 2024, shows changes limited to the temporal rescheduling of the reference period (from two to three years), the updating of economic and financial targets, also taking into account sustainability indicators, while the general approach and structure of variable remuneration remains unchanged, divided into a short-term component and a medium-term component. There was also a 10% increase in the fixed component of remuneration, referring to both the members of the Board of Directors and the Committees, as well as a 10% increase in the variable component of Executive Directors.
It should be noted that the Shareholders' Meeting held on 16 April 2024 resolved in a favourable and binding manner on the Remuneration Policy with a percentage of votes in favour equal to 84.23% of the votes represented at the Shareholders' Meeting; no evaluations or comments have been made regarding the contents of the same.
f) the description of the policies on fixed and variable components of remuneration, with particular regard to the indication of the relative proportion within the total remuneration and distinguishing between short-term and medium-long term variable components;
REMUNERATION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BODY
The total amount for the remuneration of all Directors, including those vested with special offices, is resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 20.2 of the Articles of Association.
Pursuant to art. 20.1 of the Articles of Association, the Directors are entitled to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of their functions and the remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting. The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting may also pay the Directors an end-of-term indemnity, also in the form of an insurance policy. The remuneration of Directors who hold special offices is determined by the Board of Directors, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the proposal of the Committee.
The Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors on 17 March 2026, on the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, provides that, unless otherwise resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting, the total fixed annual remuneration to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors, including remuneration for participation in the Board Committees, shall be a maximum of Euro 5,811,300, which shall be understood as including the remuneration to be paid to directors invested with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, in addition
CERTIFIED
to the reimbursement of expenses incurred by its members for the exercise of their functions and, only for directors vested with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, to the annual provision of up to 10% of the remuneration received as severance indemnity, to be distributed by the Board of Directors in accordance with the law and in accordance with the provisions of art. 20.2 of the PHN Statute.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company deems it appropriate to distinguish the remuneration structure in relation to the role held within the Board and the executive skills and responsibilities granted to the parties concerned and consequently to independently define the criteria for determining the remuneration of: (i) Non-executive Directors and Independent Directors; and (ii) Executive Directors.
In light of the guiding principles set out in paragraph e) above, the Remuneration Policy provides for a structured remuneration structure for the key figures of the Company as illustrated in the following paragraphs.
1) Non-executive directors and independent directors
"Non-executive Directors" means Directors who do not hold individual management powers and do not hold managerial positions.
"Independent Directors" means the Directors who meet the independence requirements provided for by art. 148, paragraph 3, TUF and art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code.
The non-executive Directors and independent Directors are granted a fixed remuneration – specified above in this paragraph f) – divided by the Board of Directors as part of the total remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the proposal of the Committee.
The remuneration of non-executive directors and independent directors is appropriate to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the duties assigned to them within the board of directors and in the board committees.
The non-executive directors and independent directors do not receive variable remuneration and are not recipients of remuneration plans based on financial instruments.
Non-executive Directors and independent Directors may be granted an additional fixed annual remuneration as members of the committees set up within the Board of Directors, with a possible increase if the Director holds the office of Chairman of the Committee.
For information on the remuneration of the Directors who participate in the Board committees, please refer to paragraph o) below.
2) Executive Directors
The remuneration of the Executive Directors is adequately balanced according to the strategic objectives and in order to ensure consistency between the short-term development objectives and the sustainability of the creation of value for shareholders in the medium to long term as established by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Committee.
In particular, the remuneration structure of Executive Directors is composed of a fixed component (see letter a) below and a variable component (see letters b. and c. below).
10
CERTIFIED
Taking into account the expiry of the term of office of the Board of Directors and the renewal of the Board mandate with the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025, the remuneration of the newly appointed Directors will be determined by the Shareholders' Meeting called for 27 April 2026.
In this regard, the Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors on 17 March 2026, on the proposal of the Committee, provides – in line with the policy approved by the PHN Shareholders' Meeting of 16 April 2024, subject to different resolutions by the Shareholders' Meeting and without prejudice to the total fixed remuneration referred to above – that the total annual variable remuneration ("CVC" or "Total Variable Compensation") to be paid to the Directors vested with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code for the new term of office for the duration of the appointment, is equal to a maximum of Euro 2,574,000.00, to be assigned by resolution of the Board of Directors, after having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, pursuant to the law and in accordance with the provisions of art. 20.2 of PHN's bylaws, with the application of the following criteria:
(i) variable compensation linked to annual objectives ("CVBT"), for an annual amount of Euro 1,320,000 (the "Basic CVBT"), with the possibility of increasing up to a maximum of Euro 1,716,000 (the "Maximum CVBT"), representing two thirds (2/3) of the total variable component;
(ii) variable compensation linked to a three-year objective ("CVMT"), for an annual amount of Euro 660,000 (the "Basic CVMT"), with the possibility of increasing up to a maximum of Euro 858,000 (the "Maximum CVMT"), representing one third (1/3) of the total variable component.
Taking into account the above, the basic annual Total Variable Compensation (short and medium-long term) amount to Euro 1,980,000 and can reach a maximum of Euro 2,574,000.
CVCs are determined on the basis of the achievement of predetermined and measurable economic and financial objectives, referring, in particular, to the growth of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, the Consolidated Net Financial Position and the Distributed Economic Value, according to the criteria and procedures detailed in letter b) of the Policy below.
It should be noted that for the determination of the CVCs to be paid to the Executive Directors, the criterion adopted and agreed with the representatives of Borsa Italiana on the occasion of the transition to the MTA market (now Euronext Milan) - STAR segment was maintained, based on a determination criterion that guarantees the payment of a significant portion of the deferred variable component for an adequate period of time with respect to the time of vesting. In addition, the proposed CVCs absorb the variable remuneration paid to the Executive Directors by the subsidiary Akern.
The aforementioned CVCs (fixed and variable) will also be determined on the basis of market practices by companies comparable to the Company in terms of size, profitability and growth rates and take into account the value generated in terms of improvement in the balance sheet and income results and/or the increase in the Company's capitalization.
a. Fixed component of remuneration
The Executive Directors are granted a fixed remuneration – specified above in this paragraph f) – divided by the Board of Directors within the total remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, having heard the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the proposal of the Committee.
The fixed component of the Executive Directors is commensurate with the responsibilities,
CERTIFIED
delegations and professional skills related to the office/function held by the person concerned.
This component, which is not linked to the achievement of performance objectives, is set at an amount sufficient to remunerate the performance of the Executive Directors and Directors vested with special offices in the event that the variable components are not paid due to the failure to achieve the performance objectives indicated by the Board.
b. Variable component of remuneration
With regard to the Overall Variable Component, it is first of all important to specify that CVCs - i.e. CVBTs and CVMTs - are determined on the basis of the achievement of the following objectives, each of which is assigned a percentage weight, maintaining for each objective the breakdown between 2/3 (short term) and 1/3 (medium term):
1) annual growth of 10% in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated EBITDA for the year net of non-recurring items) - gross of Total Variable Compensation for the year ("Gross Adjusted EBITDA" or "EAL") compared to the EAL of the previous year, taking the 2025 EAL as a basis. The annual increase target of the EAL ("IAEALTARGET") is therefore equal to 10% of the 2025 EAL and amounts to Euro 3,659,000.
In continuity with the policy implemented in the three-year period 2023-2025, which envisaged a reduction in the annual EALTARGET based on the investments made to support the Group's growth strategies (further development of the Cetilar® Nutrition line, the distribution of the Group's products on the American market, the start of the distribution of Cetilar® and Cetilar® Nutrition products on the Spanish market and the distribution of the Group's products on the Chinese market), the annual EAL target for the year 2026 will be decreased according to the investments in operating expenses necessary to start the above projects up to a maximum of Euro 1,000,000 (one million/00) for 2026.
For 2026, the EALTARGET is therefore set at Euro 39,253 thousand, for 2027 at Euro 43,913 thousand and for 2028 at Euro 47,572 thousand.
2) annual improvement of 20% in the consolidated Net Financial Position as at 31/12 - calculated as the sum of current and non-current payables to banks, current and non-current Liabilities for rights of use, net of cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current financial assets, net of the effects attributable to any extraordinary transactions carried out by the Company, ("NFP") compared to the NFP of the previous year, taking as a basis the NFP as at 31/12/2025. The target of annual increase in NFP ("NFPTARGET") is therefore equal to 20% of NFP as of 31/12/2025 and amounts to Euro 2,289,000. For 2026, the NFP target is therefore set at Euro 13,733 thousand, for 2027 at Euro 16,022 thousand and for 2028 at Euro 18,310 thousand.
3) annual growth of 10% in the Economic Value Distributed, which represents the part of the Economic Value Generated (sum of the Value of Production and Financial Income, including those from equity investments) distributed among the various stakeholders (suppliers of goods and services, commercial network, employees, public administration, communities, capital suppliers) ("VED"), compared to the VED of the previous year, taking the VED 2025 as a basis. The annual increase target of the VED ("VEDTARGET") is therefore equal to 10% of the VED 2025 and amounts to Euro 12 million. For 2026, the VEDTARGET
12
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
is therefore set at Euro 132 million, for 2027 at Euro 144 million and for 2028 at Euro 156 million.
It should be noted that the VED represents an indicator of sustainability and social responsibility, as it measures the portion of the economic value generated by the Group that is redistributed to the main stakeholders (suppliers, sales network, employees, public administration, communities and lenders). This metric makes it possible to monitor the direct economic and social impact on the territory and is a parameter consistent with the Group's medium-long term strategic objectives.
The following percentage weights have been attributed to each of the above 3 objectives for the purpose of determining the CVC:
- IAEALTARGET is equal to 80% of the CVC
- PFNTARGET is equal to 10% of the CVC
- VEDTARGET is 10% of the CVC
b.1 Short-run variable component
Executive Directors may be paid short-term variable remuneration (CVBT) for each year of office as established by the Board of Directors, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the proposal of the Committee, as part of the total remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code specified above in this paragraph f).
The short-term variable component of Executive Directors may consist of monetary incentive plans.
The short-term variable component is determined on the basis of the achievement of predetermined annual objectives related to performance indices, at the consolidated level of the group.
More specifically, short-term variable compensation (CVBT) is determined on the basis of the achievement of specific annual economic and financial objectives, among which the growth of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, understood as consolidated EBITDA for the year net of non-recurring items and gross of total variable compensation for the year ("Gross Adjusted EBITDA" or "EAL"), is predominant importance. compared to the EAL of the previous year, taking the EAL of the year 2025 as a reference base.
As anticipated in letter b) above, the annual increase target of the EAL ("IAEALTARGET") is equal to 10% of the 2025 EAL and amounts to Euro 3,659,000. In continuity with the policy implemented in the three-year period 2023-2025, which envisaged a reduction in the annual EALTARGET according to the investments made to support the Group's growth strategies (relating to the further development of the Cetilar® Nutrition line; of the Group's products on the American market; of Cetilar® and Cetilar® Nutrition products on the Spanish market and also of the distribution of the Group's products on the Chinese market), the annual EAL target for the 2026 financial year will be decreased according to the investments in operating expenses necessary to start the above projects up to a maximum of Euro 1,000,000 (one million/00) for 2026.
For 2026, the EALTARGET is therefore set at Euro 39,253 thousand, for 2027 at Euro 43,913 thousand and for 2028 at Euro 47,572 thousand.
For the purposes of determining the CVBT, the EAL increase target assumes a weight equal to 80% of the total CVBT, while the remaining annual targets, represented by the Consolidated Net Financial Position (NFP) and the Distributed Economic Value (VED), each assume a weight of 10%.
CERTIFIED
The Remuneration Policy provides for the application of a calculation system aimed at ensuring a direct and proportional link between the level of the company's results achieved and the amount of variable remuneration, taking into account the deviation, positive or negative, from the annual targets set. In particular, the amount of the CVBT is determined gradually according to the percentage of achievement of each target, for values between 80% and 130% of the annual targets, according to the following criteria:
- if the result achieved is less than 80% of the annual target, the short-term variable compensation does not mature and is not paid;
- if the result achieved is equal to or greater than 80% and up to 100% of the annual target, the short-term variable compensation is determined by linear interpolation applied to the range between 50% and 100% of the Basic CVBT;
- if the result achieved is greater than 100% of the annual target and up to 130% of the same, which is the maximum performance level relevant for the purposes of the calculation, the short-term variable compensation is determined by linear interpolation applied to the range between 100% of the Basic CVBT and 130% of the Max CVBT.
The achievement of performance levels above 130% of the annual targets does not give rise to the payment of additional variable compensation.
The short-term variable compensation is paid after the approval of the consolidated financial statements for the year in question by the Board of Directors, subject to verification of the achievement of the objectives envisaged.
Therefore, it is reiterated that, in line with the structure of the Total Variable Compensation provided for by the Remuneration Policy, the short-term variable component represents two thirds (2/3), or 66.67%, of the total variable component.
b.2 Medium-long term variable component
As mentioned above, the Executive Directors may also be paid a medium-long term variable remuneration for each year of office as established by the Board of Directors, after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and on the proposal of the Committee, as part of the total remuneration determined by the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, specified above in this paragraph f).
The medium/long-term variable component of the Executive Directors consists of monetary incentive plans which, in line with comparable market best practices,
provide for an adequate period of accrual of rights (so-called "Tax Protection"). vesting period) coinciding with the three-year time horizon of reference.
The medium-long term component is determined on the basis of the achievement of predefined quantitative performance objectives measured on a three-year cumulative basis at the consolidated group level established by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Committee.
More specifically, medium-long term variable compensation ("CVMT") is defined on the basis of the achievement of cumulative growth ("CCUM") in the three-year period 2026-2028 of the economic and financial objectives set out in the Remuneration Policy and detailed in letter b) above, with reference, predominantly, to the growth of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, understood as consolidated EBITDA for the year net of non-recurring items and gross of variable compensation ("Gross Adjusted EBITDA" or "EAL"), taking the EAL for the year 2025 as a baseline.

The Remuneration Policy provides for the application of a calculation system aimed at ensuring a direct and proportional link between the change in the company's results achieved on a cumulative basis over the three-year period and the change in remuneration, taking into account the deviation, positive or negative, from the three-year targets set. In particular, the amount of the medium-long term variable compensation (CVMT) is determined gradually according to the percentage of achievement of the cumulative growth of the three-year objectives, for values between 80% and 120% of the targets, according to the following criteria:
- if the cumulative growth over the three-year period is less than 80% of the three-year target, the medium-long term variable compensation does not mature and is not paid;
- if the cumulative growth is equal to or greater than 80% and up to 100% of the three-year target, the medium-long term variable compensation is determined by linear interpolation applied to the range between 50% and 100% of the Basic CVMT;
- if the cumulative growth is greater than 100% and up to 120% of the three-year target, which is the maximum performance level relevant for the purposes of the calculation, the medium-long term variable compensation is determined by linear interpolation applied to the interval between 100% of the Basic CVMT and 120% of the Max CVMT.
The achievement of performance levels above 120% of the three-year targets does not give rise to the payment of additional variable compensation.
The medium-long term variable compensation is paid after the approval of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2028 by the Board of Directors, subject to verification of the achievement of the objectives.
The payment of the medium-long variable remuneration is envisaged only for the Executive Directors in office on the date of approval of PHN's financial statements for the year 2028.
The medium-long term variable component may not exceed 1/3 (i.e. 33.33%) of the total cumulative variable component of the Executive Directors over the multi-year reference period.
The executive summary of the remuneration package for the Executive Directors is attached under 1 to this Report.
In conclusion, the method of determining variable compensation adopted also ensures that consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, net of variable compensation, maintains a dynamic consistent with the Group's economic and financial sustainability objectives. In particular: (i) EBITDA increased in proportion to the improvement in the results achieved; (ii) remains significantly higher than the amount of variable compensation paid; and (iii) is adequately protected both in the event of failure to achieve the targets and in the presence of performance exceeding the set objectives.
The distributed economic value (VED) is therefore an indicator of sustainability and social responsibility that measures the direct economic and social impact on the territory.
As mentioned in letter b) above, the CVMT is set at an annual amount of Euro 660,000 (the "Basic CVMT"), with the possibility of increasing up to a maximum annual amount of Euro 858,000 (the "Maximum CVMT").
5 For the sake of clarity, the following examples are given:
- in the event of an annual increase level in Gross Adjusted EBITDA ("EAL") equal to 80% of the Annual EAL Target Increase, a short-term variable compensation equal to 50% of the Basic CVBT accrues;
15
CERTIFIED
- if an annual EAL increase level of 100% of the Target Annual EAL Increase is achieved, the Base CVBT matures in full.
For EAL increment values between 80% and 100% of the Target Annual EAL Increment, the amount of the CVBT is determined by linear interpolation applied to the range between 50% and 100% of the Base CVBT, in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy.

(i) as of the date of registration with the competent Register of Companies of the deed of merger by incorporation into PHN of the wholly-owned companies Junia Pharma S.r.l. and Alesco S.r.l. (i.e. from 4 July 2024) and until the date of expiry of the term of office of the Board of Directors, set on the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the financial statements as at 31 December 2025, a maximum of Euro 5,400,000.00 is the total annual fixed remuneration to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors, including the remuneration to be paid to directors vested with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred by its members for the exercise of their functions and, only for directors vested with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, to the annual provision of up to 10% of the remuneration received as severance indemnity, to be distributed by the Board of Directors in accordance with the law and in accordance with the provisions of art. 20.2 of PHN’s bylaws; e
(ii) a further maximum of Euro 2,400,000.00 the total annual variable remuneration to be paid to directors vested with special offices pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code (the "Variable Compensation"), to be awarded by resolution of the Board of Directors, after hearing the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, pursuant to law and in accordance with the provisions of art. 20.2 of PHN’s bylaws, with the application of the following criteria:
-
Annual Target Variable Compensation ("CVBT"), for an annual amount of Euro 1,200,000 (one million two hundred thousand/00) – the "CVBTBASE" – with the possibility of increasing up to a maximum of Euro 1,560,000 (one million five hundred and sixty thousand/00), the "CVBTMAX", and represent two/thirds (2/3) of the Total Variable Compensation, and
-
Variable compensation on a three-year objective ("CVMT"), equal to one third (1/3) of the total annual variable compensation, for an amount equal to Euro 600,000 (six hundred thousand/00) – the "CVMTBASE" – with the possibility of increasing up to a maximum of Euro 780,000 (seven hundred and eighty thousand/00), the "CVMTMAX".

The target for determining annual CVBTs is the annual growth of 10% in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (consolidated EBITDA for the year net of non-recurring items) – gross of Total Variable Compensation for the year ("Gross Adjusted EBITDA" or "EAL") compared to the EAL of the previous year, taking the 2022 EAL as a basis. The annual increase target of the EAL ("IAEALTARGET") is therefore equal to 10% of the 2022 EAL and amounts to Euro 2,631,000.
