REMUNERATION POLICY FOR YEAR 2018
1. PRINCIPLES AND REVIEW OF THE RISKS
The Policy is intended to attract, motivate and retain resources that have the professional skills necessary to successfully pursue the corporate objectives of Pirelli. Pirelli, in fact, defines and implements a Policy which is characterised by the following:
-
as regards Top Managers and Senior Managers, by a strong pull on the third quartile of the corresponding employment market (as measured by the standard benchmark);
-
as regards Executives, in line with the relevant market practice .
The Annual Total Direct Compensation at Target represents the comparison benchmark.
The Policy is defined so as to align the interests of Management with those of Shareholders, pursuing the priority objective of creating sustainable value, in the medium to long term period, by establishing an actual and verifiable link, between remuneration, on the one hand and the performance of the individuals and Pirelli on the other.
The structure of the Management remuneration, which is defined also on the basis of domestic and International benchmarks prepared by Companies specializing in Executive Compensation, consists of three main elements:
- Gross annual fixed component;
- annual variable component (MBO);
- medium-to-long term variable component (LTI), intended for rewarding the performance of Pirelli Group during the 2018-2020 period.
The MBO and LTI variable components are established - by keeping in account the benchmarks for each position - as a percentage of the fixed component, which will raise based on the role held by the beneficiary.
The variable remuneration of the Management is based on short and medium-to-long term objectives which are established under annual and multi-annual Plans that are disclosed to the Market.
Please refer to paragraph 5 "MBO and LTI Plan" for further details on the operation of said variable components.
As this regards, it has to be underlined that the process for managing the risks is fully integrated in the strategic planning process in order to ensure that the objectives provided for achieving the variable incentives shall not expose Pirelli to managerial approaches which are not consistent with the acceptable level of risk (the so-called risk appetite) which is defined by the Board of Directors upon approval of the Plans.
The structure of the remuneration of the Management is defined so to ensure a balance of its components.
Part of the variable remuneration which is accrued in form of MBO is deferred for supporting the consistency over time of the results (and it thus subject to the "risk" of payment) with a potential "rewarding" increasing scheme (please refer to paragraph 5 for an analytical description).
The definition of a mix of objectives, which include also certain non-financial objectives, for the medium/long term variable portion, avoids the prevalence of a single performance objective. Furthermore, the existence of objectives for achieving a significant part of the LTI incentives based on economic/financial parameters accrued over three years (and without, therefore, any intermediate accounting) avoid any adoption of certain behaviours which are intended only to reach the short term objectives for receiving the annual incentives.
Please refer to the specific paragraphs describing, for each category, the relevant structures of any further component of the remuneration (Severance Indemnities, Non compete agreement, Retention Plan, non-financial bonuses).
2. "PROCESS" FOR DEFINING AND IMPLEMENTING THE POLICIES AND INVOLVED ENTITIES
The definition of the Policy is the result of a clear and transparent process, in which the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors play a key role. The policy is actually adopted and approved on a yearly basis - following a proposal by the Remuneration Committee - by the Board of Directors which submits it to the consultation vote of the Shareholders' Meeting -.
The Board of Statutory Auditors expresses its opinion on the Policy, namely for the part concerning the remuneration of the Directors holding special offices.
The Remuneration Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors will supervise its implementation. For this purpose, at least once a year, when the Statement on Remuneration is presented, the head of the Human Resources department provides his reports on the compliance with the Policy to the Remuneration Committee, whose Chairman shall report, in turn, to the Board of Directors.
The 2018 Policy, which was proposed by the Remuneration Committee and then approved by the Board of Directors, following the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, during the meeting held on February 26, 2018 - is now submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for its consultation vote.
For the sake of completeness, please remind that, under current statutory provisions, the Board of Directors is responsible for providing (or if required by the Law, proposing to the Shareholders' Meeting) the adoption of incentive schemes by allocating financial instruments or option rights to financial instruments which, if approved, shall be disclosed to the public at the latest in the Annual Report on Remuneration (without prejudice for any further transparency duties established under the relevant legislation). As of the date of this Report, the Company does not provide any incentive plan based on financial instruments.

4. CONTENTS OF THE 2018 POLICY
As highlighted in the preamble, the Policy defines principles and guidelines which:
- (i) the Board of Directors complies with for defining the remuneration of the Directors of Pirelli & C., namely the Directors holding special offices and Managers with strategic responsibilities;
- (ii) Pirelli refers to for defining the remuneration of the Senior Managers and more generally of the Executives.
5. MBO AND LTI PLAN
MBO
The scope of the MBO plan covers the whole management, excepting some specific cases, and may be extended to those who will be hired by the Group during the year and/or whose internal career leads to an Executive position.
The annual variable component (so-called MBO) is the remuneration for the performance of the beneficiary in the short term, typically on an annual basis.
The objectives of the MBO for the Directors holding special offices who are assigned specific duties and for the Managers with strategic responsibilities are established by the Board of Directors (without the concerned officers taking part in the meetings which decide on this matter) following the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and are linked to the performance, on an annual basis, of Pirelli.
The objectives of the Senior Management and of the Executives are, on the other hand, defined by their direct supervisor, jointly with the Human Resources Department and the Planning and Controlling Department. For these roles, differently from the Top Management, certain objectives lined to the economic performance of their unit/department or quantity objectives linked to specific individual performance parameters may be assigned.
At the end of the relevant year and based on the final performance, the Human Resources Department, with the support of the Planning and Controlling Department, shall assess the level of achievement of the objectives.
The accrual of the annual variable component is subject to the achievement of a financial access condition (the so-called on/off condition), which is defined based on the role held by the beneficiary. The incentive is then calculated on the base of certain objectives which are also defined with regards to the role held by the beneficiary.
The objectives for the different roles of the Management and the relevant weight at target are listed below.
| Role | Objective | Weight at |

|---|---|
| Functional objective/s with Region/BU/Group "scope" |
From 20% to 50% |
| Group EBT |
From 10% to 20% |
The objectives at target represent a performance which is perfectly aligned to the corresponding objectives disclosed to the market. The on/off condition is fixed with a "tolerance margin" against the budget value.
Please find below the target disclosed to the market on February 26, 2018:
Each objective provides and access threshold to which the payment of an incentive equal to the 75% of the potential incentive at target is linked; a cap of the payable sum is also provided.
The range of the objectives is established according to the following general rules:
- for each objective, the delta between target and maximum is always at least 1.5 times the delta between the target level and the "access threshold" level;
- the 25% penalization percentage of the reward upon the achievement of the objective at the "access threshold" level, is always higher than the tolerance margin represented by the difference in percentage between the "access threshold" result and the "target" result.
The final summary of the incentive between access threshold and target and between target and maximum is carried out by linear interpolation.
The incentive percentages for the different roles of the Management are listed below.
| Accrued | Incentive | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Role | When meeting the objectives at access threshold |
When meeting the objectives at target |
When meeting the objectives at maximum level (cap) |

|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Manager/Execu tive |
75% of the incentive at target |
From 20% to 40% of the GAS based on the role |
200% of the incentive at target |
Deferred payment of the MBO
The payment of 25% of any accrued MBO is deferred by 12 months and is subject to the achievement of the MBO objectives set for the following year. Namely:
- In the case where the year following the year of accrual of the MBO no MBO accrued, the portion of MBO deferred from the previous year is finally "lost";
- In the case where the year following the year of accrual of the MBO the MBO accrued up to the access threshold, the portion of MBO deferred from the previous year is paid;
- In case of achievement, during the following year, of the MBO between target and maximum level, it is provided the payment - in addition to the restitution of the MBO portion deferred from the previous year - of an additional sum between 20% and 40% of the full MBO accrued during the previous year (for intermediate results, during the following year, between target an maximum the increase of the MBO of the previous year shall be calculated by linear interpolation).
LTI Plan
The 2018-2020 LTI Plan is extended to the whole Management (excepting specific cases such as,
for example, the Managers of the Internal Audit department) and may be extended also to those who during the three year term become members of the Group Management and/or whose internal career leads to an Executive position. In this case, the inclusion is subject to the condition to be part of the Plan for at least one full year and the percentage of incentives are reconfigured on the number of months of actual participation to the Plan.
The 2018-2020 LTI Plan provides and incentive (the so-called "LTI Bonus") subject to the achievement of multiple year objectives and established on a percentage basis of the gross annual fixed component; (GAS) received by the beneficiary as of the date on which the admission the the Plan thereof was granted. Said incentive percentage raises based on the role held and takes in due account the reference benchmarks for each role.
Each objective provides and access threshold to which the payment of an incentive equal to the 75% of the respective portion of potential incentive at target is linked- and a cap of the payable sum.
The LTI Bonus, in case of achievement of all the objectives at the maximum level cannot exceed a sum which is twice the incentive which may be received in case of achievement of the target objectives.
In case of failed achievement of the access threshold level of each objective, the beneficiary will not accrue any right to the payment of the relevant incentive portion.

| Net financial position/ Adjusted EBITDA | 4.6X | < 2.0X | |
| ROI 4 | 27% | $~1.35\%$ |
The range of the objectives is established according to the following general rules:
- for each objective, the delta between target and maximum is always at least 1.5 times the delta between the target level and the "access threshold" level;
- the 25% penalization percentage of the reward upon the achievement of the objective at the "access threshold" level, is always higher than the tolerance margin represented by the difference in percentage between the "access threshold" result and the "target" result.
With regards to the TSR and ROS objectives, any intermediate result between the access threshold and the target value or between the target value and the maximum value, the final figures of the performance will be established by linear interpolation.
The full cost of the LTI Plan is included in the economics of the Industrial Plan, so that the cost thereof will be "self financed" by the achievement of the results.
The LTI Plan has also retention purposes.
In case of termination of the employment contract due to any case and occurred before the end of the three year period, the entitled person is therefore excluded from the LTI Plan and therefore the bonus shall not be paid, not even pro-quota.
As regards Directors holding special offices or who are assigned specific duties (this is the case of the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Tronchetti Provera) who leave their office due to expiration of the mandate and who subsequently are not even appointed directors the pro-quota payment of the LTI Bonus is allowed.
Claw back clauses
The annual (MBO) and multi-annual (LTI) plans intended for: Directors holding special offices who are assigned specific duties and the Managers with strategic responsibilities provide, among the other terms, certain so-called claw-back mechanisms.
In particular, and without prejudice for any further statutory remedy granted for the protection of the interests of the Company, it will be provided the execution with said individuals of certain contractual covenants which allow Pirelli to request the (full or partial) refund, within three years of their payment, of any incentive paid to the individuals who, by fraud or gross negligence, carried out (or take part in the commission of) any facts, as listed below and concerning the economic/financial indicators included in the Annual Financial Report and which lead to a subsequent comparative report and are adopted as parameters for establishing the variable rewards of said incentive plans:
- (i) proven and significant errors which cause a failed compliance with the accounting principles that Pirelli declares to apply, or
- (ii) Assessed fraudulent behaviours intended to obtain a specific representation of the equityfinancial status, the economic result or the financial flows of Pirelli.
6. INDEMNITY IN CASE OF RESIGNATION, DISMISSAL OR TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
Pirelli Group has the policy to not enter with any Director, Manager with strategic responsibilities, Senior Manager and Executive, any agreement which may ex ante govern the economic matters linked to the early termination of the contract by decision of the Company or the individual (the socalled "parachutes").
Any agreement executed in case of termination of the current relationship with Pirelli Group for any reason which is not a dismissal for cause. The line of Pirelli is in fact to seek agreements capable to reach an amicable termination of the contract. Without prejudice, in any case for the statutory and/or contractual obligations, the agreements for the termination of the contract with Pirelli Group are inspired by the reference benchmarks for the matter and within the limits defined by the case law and the practice of the Country where the agreement was reached.
The Company defines within its organisation certain criteria which must be followed also by the other companies of the Group for managing any early termination agreements for the contracts with executives and/or Directors holding special offices.
Directors holding special offices who are assigned specific duties and are not parties of executive contracts, Pirelli does not provide the payment of any extraordinary indemnity or remuneration linked to the end of the mandate. The payment of a specific indemnity may be allowed, subject to review by the competent corporate bodies, in the following cases:
- termination decided by the Company and not for cause;
- termination for cause decided by the Director, consisting of, by way of example, the significant change of the role or of the granted powers and/or any case of "Hostile" Take-over.
In such cases, the amount of the indemnity is 2 years of the gross annual salary, which consists of the sum of the gross annual fixed salaries for the offices held in the Group, the average of the annual variable salaries (MBO) which have been accrued during the previous three year term and of the Severance Indemnities on the above sums as specified in the following paragraph 10.
7. NON COMPETE AGREEMENT AND RETENTION PLAN
The Group may enter with its Managers with strategic responsibility and with Senior Managers and Executives vested with particularly critical duties non compete agreements 2 which entail the payment of a GAS-related consideration to be determined by the duration and the extent of the restrictions arising from said agreements.
The obligation refers to the industry in which the Group trades upon the definition of the agreement and to the geographical scope. The scope varies based on the position held at the moment when the agreement is executed and may reach, in certain cases deemed especially critical, such as the Managers with strategic responsibilities, a geographical scope which covers all the main countries in which the Group is active.
The Executive Vice Chairman and CEO does not hold a non compete agreement.
Furthermore a medium-to-long term retention plan is provided for the Managers with strategic responsibilities and for a selected number of Senior Managers and Executives whose contribution for the implementation of the new Strategic Plan is deemed to be particularly significant.
For the Managers with strategic responsibilities, the Retention Plan provides the payment of a consideration geared on the Total Direct Compensation 2017 at target of each participant and up to a max of 2.3 times it. The consideration is organised in 4 annual instalments of increasing amount in order to obtain the highest retention effect possible, with the payment of the last instalment scheduled in 2021. The payment of each instalment is subject to the condition that the manager remains in the company as of the date of each payment.
The Executive Vice Chairman and CEO does not participate to the Retention plan.
8. THE REMUNERATION OF THE DIRECTORS OF PIRELLI & C.
The Board of Directors includes:
- (i) Directors holding special offices who may also be assigned specific duties;

As of the date of this Report the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Marco Tronchetti Provera is the only director holding special offices who also has special responsibilities.
During 2018, the structure of the remuneration for the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Marco Tronchetti Provera was reviewed with a reduction of the fixed component in consideration of an increase of the variable component seeking to achieve a further strengthening of the alignment of the interests of the management with those of the shareholders.
The gross annual fixed component of the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Marco Tronchetti Provera was fixed at Euro 2,400,000. This remuneration for the main executive office is increased by the remuneration for the offices of Member of the Board of Pirelli & C. S.p.A. (Euro 60,000) and Chairman of the Appointments and Succession and Strategies Committees (jointly, Euro 100,000).3
As regards the weight of the different components, the structure of the compensation package of the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO in case of achievement of the MBO annual objectives for 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the three-year objectives of the LTI Plan 2018-2020 (i) at the Access Threshold, (ii) at target and (iii) at maximum level is reported below.
3 Up to 31 December 2017, the structure of the remuneration of the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Marco Tronchetti Provera was structured as follows: (i) fixed component; in Pirelli & C. S.p.A. Euro 900,000; (ii) fixed component in Pirelli Tyre S.p.A. Euro 2,000,000; (iii) to which the remunerations or the offices of Member of the Board in Pirelli & C. S.p.A. (Euro 60,000) and Chairman of the Appointments and Succession and Strategies Committees (jointly, Euro 100,000) were added.
The MBO variable component with Access Threshold 75% of the MBO at target; MBO at target 100% of the remuneration received in Pirelli Tyre S.p.A.; maximum MBO (cap): 250% of the MBO at target.

Based on the deferral by 12 months of the payment of a portion of the MBO bonus with the risks and opportunities recalled in paragraph 1 and specified in paragraph 5, the accrual of a portion of the medium-to-long term variable component stated in the chart is subject to the level of achievement of the results of Year 2019 and will be, if required, paid during 2020.
Furthermore, for the Directors holding special offices and vested with special responsibilities, in the case where are not employed under an executive labour contract (as of the date of this report the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Marco Tronchetti Provera), the Board of Directors provided, with an approach which is similar to the one followed in the statutory provisions and/or in the National Collective Contract for the Italian executives of the Group:
- The payment of a Directors' Severance Indemnity (T.F.M.) under art. 17, 1st paragraph, letter c) of T.U.I.R. (the Italian Consolidated Law on Income Tax) no. 917/1986 whose features are similar to those of the Employees' Severance Indemnity (TFR) under art. 2120 ICC which the Law requires to pay to the Italian executives of Pirelli Group and including the welfare contributions charged to the employer which are due to Welfare Institutions or Funds in case of an executive labour contract;
- a policy providing cover for (i) any accident which may involve him during the performance of his duties and (ii) any extra-professional accidents whose premiums shall be borne by the Company;
- an indemnity for total disability and death due to illness;
- additional benefits which are typical of the office and currently granted to managers with strategic responsibilities and/or Senior Managers within the Group (company car).
The Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors with the support of independent companies specializing in Executive Compensation carry out the analysis of the positioning, of the composition and more in general of the competitiveness of the remuneration of the Directors holding special offices based on methodological approaches which allow a thorough assessment, even if within the typical limitations of the benchmarking analyses, the complexity of the roles from an organizational perspective, in the light of the special responsibilities vested and also of the impact of the individual on the final business results.
In particular, reference is made to different components (industry, location, etc.) in defining the panel of benchmark companies which is updated on an yearly basis.

12. SENIOR MANAGERS AND EXECUTIVES.
The remuneration of Senior Managers and more in general of Executives consists of the following elements:
- a gross annual fixed component (the so-called GAS);
- a annual variable component (so-called MBO);
- a medium-to-long term variable component (consisting of the LTI bonus and of the annual rolling mechanism for the deferred payment of the portions of the accrued MBO and grant of an increase of the whole accrued MBO in function of the level of achievement of the MBO during the following year );
- benefits which are granted under the corporate practice (i.e. cars)
Furthermore, the following is granted to the Executives and the Senior Managers with Italian labour contract:

- health and life insurance policy which are additional to the cover provided under the National Collective Labour Contract for Executives of Manufacturing Goods and Service Companies.
In establishing the remuneration and its individual components of Senior Managers and Executives, Pirelli Group takes in consideration the following criteria:

Also the analysis of the remuneration of Executives and Senior Managers is carried out with the support of independent companies specializing in Executive Compensation which considers the position held by the single Manager and the relevant Country.
As regards the Head of Internal Audit, please note that, in line with the best practices, the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Control, Risks, Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee provided a higher weight of the fixed component over the variable component. By the way, the Head of Internal Audit (and, generally, the Managers of the Internal Audit department) are not part of the LTI Incentive Plan, but he is merely a beneficiary of the annual incentive plan linked to mainly quality objectives whose assessment is a responsibility of the Control, Risks, Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee and of the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Director in charge of supervising the internal control system.
13. CHANGES TO THE POLICY FROM THE PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR
The Policy was prepared on the base of the previous application experiences and takes in due consideration the statutory requirements adopted by CONSOB, and the adoption, occurred in 2018 of a new Long Term Incentive Cash Plan for 2018-2020 ("LTI Plan") and of a Retention Plan intended to provide support for the new Industrial Plan, which was disclosed to the market at the time of the Listing of Pirelli. Furthermore the Policy takes in due account the review of the structure of the remuneration of the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO with a reduction of the fixed component in consideration of an increase of the variable component.
This Policy is submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting of Pirelli for the first time after the admission to listing of the Company which was granted on 04 October 2017, and, therefore, it is not possible to measure any change from the Policy of the previous term.

2017 REMUNERATION REPORT
1. PRINCIPLES
The 2017 Remuneration Report sets out the Policy implemented by the Pirelli Group during the 2017 financial year with reference to remuneration and provides actual amounts of remunerations in relation to the various persons concerned, without prejudice to the transparency obligations envisaged by other applicable legal or regulatory provisions. It is recalled that the Company's ordinary shares were listed on 4 October 2017. Therefore, it should be noted that with reference to 2017, when the Company was not listed, the Company had not formally adopted a Remuneration Policy pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Act (TUF - Testo Unico della Finanza), and therefore, it is not possible to duly express a consistent judgement with the Policy approved in the previous year. However, it should be noted that the Pirelli Remuneration structure for 2017, as from 4 October 2017, is generally consistent with the principles contained in the Policy for 2018.

- each member of the Board of Statutory Auditors received/accrued a salary pertaining to the 2017 year in line with that provided for by the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment (in addition to a gross annual salary of EUR 40,000 paid to the Serving Auditor called upon to be a member of the Supervisory Body);
- Senior Managers and Executives received/accrued salaries pertaining to the 2017 year in accordance with the criteria set out in paragraph 12 of the 2018 Policy.
It should be noted that for Executives with strategic responsibilities and more generally for other members of the Group's Senior Management, Pirelli has introduced non-competition agreements to protect strategic and operational know-how. The Executive Vice Chairman and CEO does not hold a non-competition agreement.
Taking into account the events occurred during the year 2017 (among which, in particular: the capital increase by Marco Polo International Italy SpA, the refinancing, the completion of the segregation of the industrial business, the discontinuation of the industrial business result, the beginning and the completion of the listing process), the report about the total incentive is shown below without evidence of the original target and the related result, taking into account the adjustments made to these values in order to sterilize (in positive and negative) the effects of the aforementioned extraordinary transactions not included in the 2017 budget at the time of its approval, in order to reward the actual performance.

In line with the structure of the variable incentive described in the Policy, only 75% of the accrued 2017 MBO bonus is paid, while the payment of the remaining 25% is deferred by 12 months and is subject to the achievement of the MBO objectives for 2018, and in particular:
- (a) in the event that no MBO is accrued in 2018, the deferred and accrued share of the 2017 MBO would be definitively lost;
- (b) in the event that the 2018 MBO is accrued at "entry threshold" level, the accrued and deferred 2017 MBO share shall be paid;
lastly, if the 2018 MBO is accrued at least at target performance level - in addition to payment of the accrued and deferred 2017 MBO share - an additional amount would be paid, equal to a percentage of the entire accrued 2017 MBO. This percentage would vary from a minimum of 20% (if the 2018 MBO is accrued at target performance level) to a maximum of 40% (if the 2018 MBO is accrued at maximum performance level), with linear interpolation between the two extremes.
LTI Plan
Following the Board of Directors' resolution of July 28, 2017, the LTI Plan 2016-2018 was closed in advance due to the Company's listing. The Board of Directors therefore re-proportioned the objectives for the two-year period 2016-2017 and, as for the 2017 MBO, neutralized the positive and negative effects of the extraordinary transactions that particularly occurred during the year 2017. Following the final balance after the end of the 2017 financial year, an incentive equal to 16.67% of the target performance bonus was recognized to the participants of the plan, considered that the on/off condition (Creation of positive value) was achieved.

3. MONETARY INCENTIVE PLANS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILI-TIES
For a description of the monetary incentive plans, see paragraph 5 of the Remuneration Policy.
The variable incentive scheme of Pirelli envisages that the payment of 25% of any MBO accrued is deferred by 12 months and is subject to the achievement of MBO objectives for the following year. In particular: - in the event that no MBO has matured in the following year, the deferred MBO share of the previous year is definitively "lost"; - in the event that the MBO has matured in the following year at the level of the access threshold, the MBO share deferred from the previous year is returned; in the event of the MBO achieving between the target level and the maximum level in the following year, payment- in addition to the return of the MBO share deferred from the previous year - of an additional amount between 20% and 40% of the entire MBO matured in the previous year (for results earned in the following year between the target and maximum levels, the increase in the previous year MBO bonus shall be calculated by linear interpolation).
