Chairman's Letter
Dear Shareholders,
I am delighted to present the Remuneration Report for 2015, which will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting.
In 2015, all topics related to remuneration within the Prysmian Group were given, as always, the utmost attention. We have pursued the objective of strengthening and upgrading the pay tools we introduced in previous years while continuing to build on a Group pay policy in line with a responsible approach focused on performance, sustainability and a transparent dialogue with investors. Dialogue and transparency with investors remain key elements which we believe are symbolically represented by this report.
Among the most important actions taken by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee during 2015 to support the Board of Directors, we must mention the establishment and support for the launch of the new long-term Incentive plan (LTI 2015-17) for managers and key people in the Group, consisting of a Performance Shares Plan and a Plan to defer and co-invest the annual bonus for 2015 and 2016 approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 16 April 2015.
During 2015, in addition, the Committee monitored the implementation of the last two cycles of the "YES" (Your Employee Shares) Share Purchase Plan: a plan which has allowed all the Group employees concerned (executives, white and blue collars) in 27 different countries to purchase company shares at favourable conditions and through which we are strengthening the involvement of employees and their sense of belonging to our Group.
Another important initiative to which the Committee lent its support to the Board was the assessment of the design of the new YES plan on the basis of the input collected by the Company through benchmarking with other companies involved in spread ownership plans and listening to feedback from employees collected through a pulse survey on the theme.
In 2015 the Committee also took part in the process to analyse and arrange the succession plan relating to the Group's senior management.
Finally, the Committee was asked to provide its own support in relation to the creation and revision of remuneration packages for the Executive directors, the Managers with Strategic Responsibilities and the Group's Internal Audit Manager. Said packages have been defined in line with the Group's internal policies and with market best practices, also thanks to the benchmarks provided for by a third-party company.
We have collected the information relating to the remuneration policy in this Report, which describes its principles, governance, and elements making up the remuneration of the Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities, the short, medium and long-term incentive mechanisms and the related objectives, with the aim of increasing stakeholders' knowledge of our pay policies and to highlight their consistency with our business strategies.
This Remuneration Report has been approved by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2016 and section I will be submitted for an advisory vote to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to applicable laws.
The Chairman of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee
Giovanni Tamburi
Executive Summary
The Remuneration Policy for Executive Directors who hold particular offices and Managers with strategic responsibilities for the Prysmian Group has a twofold aim: attract and retain human resources with the appropriate professional qualities to enable the corporate objectives to be achieved; align the interests of Management to those of shareholders.
To support these two objectives, the most important innovations introduced during 2015 were:
- the launch of the new medium-long term stock incentive plan for the Group Management, which was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 16 April 2015, which is based on shares and linked to the three-year business objectives;
- the adjustment to best practices of the policies relating to termination indemnities, with a change which concerned the Chief Executive Officer for whom, should his employment relationship be terminated in advance, indemnity of 24-months base salary is envisaged;
- the adjustment of the levels of fees for Non-executive Directors in order to align them to market practice;
- the launch of the renewal of the Share Purchase Plan on favourable conditions (called YES) for 2016-2018.
The table below sets out the main elements of the package offered to the Group's Executive Directors and those holding particular offices as well as Managers with strategic responsibilities, which will then be analysed in detail in paragraph 5 of Section I of this Report.
| FIXED PAY |
ANNUAL GROSS PAY - defined in line with the complexity/responsibilities of the role; - benchmarked vs key European market in order to guarantee competitiveness and vs the internal market to guarantee fairness, always bearing in mind individual performance. |
|
|---|---|---|
| SHORT TERM |
ANNUAL BONUS –MBO (Management by objectives) - the pay opportunities are defined as a % of annual pay; a maximum payment level (cap) is envisaged; - the achievement of set levels of Group Net Financial Position and EBITDA is the minimum commonly agreed condition to accrue the bonus; - the bonus payout level depends on the achievement of the preset annual economic and financial targets at Group/Business Unit level |
|
| MEDIUM TERM |
2015 – 2017 CO-INVESTMENT PLAN - part of the annual bonus for 2015 and 2016 is co-invested for a maximum period of three years and is conditional on achieving two specific three-year objectives at Group level (Adjusted Cumulative EBITDA and Cumulative ROCE 2015 – 2017); - repayment of the deferred part, including a multiplier linked to the percentage of the bonus co-invested, will be done in Prysmian Shares for achievement of the two targets above; - should one or both objectives not be achieved, the payment of a reduced portion of the deferred bonus in Prysmian shares is envisaged. |
|
| RETRIBUZIONE VARIA BILE | LONG TERM |
2015-2017 PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN - share-based plan with a three-year vesting period which is linked to achievement of three year performance conditions - in 2018 the beneficiaries will receive a number of Prysmian shares between a preset minimum and maximum amount depending on the achievement of the Adjusted Cumulative – EBITDA and Cumulative ROCE objectives for 2015-2017. |
| BENEFITS | Non-monetary benefits covering social security and healthcare to integrate the provisions of the social security plans and the minimum contractual requirements. |
The following graphs show the theoretical pay-mix of Prysmian CEO and executive directors and managers with strategic responsibilities when a target and maximum annual and three-year performance level is reached.
The graph shows the relative weight of the four elements of pay: (1) fixed, (2) cash annual variable - MBO, (3) medium – co-investment - and (4) long-term share variable – performance share.
Executive Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities
Pay-mix – performance target Pay-mix – maximum performance
The performance share and co-investment value is calculated on the plan's fair value basis in terms of shares. The pay-mix is calculated based on the actual potential total payment (cash, shares) in the 2015- 2017 period during which the long-term incentive plan will be in effect. Other forms of remuneration (non-competition clauses, retention bonuses), described in Section II of the Report, are not included in the pay-mix analysis.
Recitals
This document has been prepared in compliance with the provisions contained in CONSOB Resolution no. 18049 of 23 December 2011 in implementation of article 123-TER of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 regarding transparency on Directors' pay in listed companies and is structured into two separate sections:
- Section I, which explains the Remuneration Policy to be adopted in the year 2016;
- Section II, which explains the final balance in terms of the Remuneration Policy actually adopted in the year 2015.
SECTION I
1. Introduction
The Remuneration Policy adopted by the Prysmian Group aims to attract and retain talented people with the skills necessary to achieve the company's objectives and to motivate management to pursue ever better performance in compliance with the company's values and culture.
The Group Remuneration Policy is defined so as to align the Management's interests with those of shareholders whilst pursuing the primary objective to create sustainable value in the medium to long term, by forging a real and verifiable link between pay, on the one hand, and performance, both individual and of the Group, on the other.
The Remuneration Policy described in this document applies to the members of the Group's Board of Directors and to Managers with strategic responsibilities.
Prysmian S.p.A. ("Prysmian" or "the Company") is currently managed by a Board of Directors consisting of eleven Directors:

2. Governance
The definition of the Policy is the result of a shared and transparent process in which the Remuneration and Appointments Committee ("the Committee") and the Board of Directors of the Company have a central role.
On an annual basis, in fact, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee puts the Remuneration Policy to the approval of the Board of Directors and supervises its application during the year.
The Board of Directors set up the Remuneration and Appointments Committee and appointed its members. This Committee has the role of providing consultancy and making proposals to the Board of Directors with reference to establishing the remuneration of the Group's Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities, as indicated in the table, the appointment/substitution of Independent Directors, as well as the size and composition of the Board.
The Committee currently consists of three Independent non-executive directors: Giovanni Tamburi, Chairman, Claudio De Conto and Massimo Tononi.
The members of the Committee have long and consolidated experience and specific know-how in the economic and financial field.
The main responsibilities of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee are:
-
to assess and formulate the remuneration policy for Executive Directors who hold particular offices;
-
to examine and discuss remuneration policy proposals for Managers with strategic responsibilities;
- to examine and discuss remuneration policy proposals for the Internal Control Director;
- to assess and formulate any proposals made by the Company regarding remuneration policies for the Management;
- to periodically oversee the actual implementation of the proposals made and approved by the Board of Directors for the remuneration of Executive Directors and those holding particular offices, Managers with strategic responsibilities and the Internal Control Director;
- to verify the achievement of the performance objectives related to the incentive systems for the Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities and the Internal Control Director.
- to assess and formulate proposals made to the Board of Directors regarding share incentive plans, stock options, public ownership of shares and similar incentive and retention plans applicable to the Management and the employees of Group companies that are owned by the Company;
- to carry out preliminary investigations for the preparation of succession plans for executive directors if the Board of Directors resolves to adopt them.
- to express opinions on the initiatives and on the programmes promoted by the Company on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR);
- to monitor the positioning of the Company on the main sustainability indices
For a description of the Committee's duties regarding the Appointment of Directors, please refer to the "Remuneration and Appointments Committee" section of the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure.
During 2015, the Committee met 5 times and all the members serving at the time of the meetings took part in them. The work undertaken by the Committee, with the support of the Group Human Resources Department, in particular concerned:
- the formulation of proposals to be submitted to the Board of Directors regarding the remuneration of the Company's executive directors, managers with strategic responsibilities and the Internal Control Director as regards both the fixed and variable parts of the remuneration;
- the formulation of proposals to the Board regarding the remuneration due to Non-executive Directors, including those holding particular offices.
- the assessment of the criteria adopted in relation to both the variable incentive systems (based on the achievement of established objectives) and the remuneration policies for senior management;
- the analysis of all information concerning the Prysmian Group remuneration policy as described in the remuneration report approved by the Board of Directors and also submitted for examination to the Shareholders' Meeting;
-
the implementation of the new long-term Incentive Plan for the three years 2015-2017 and the closely-related deferral and co-investment plan;
-
support in implementing the third and last purchasing window in relation to the Group employee share purchase plan ("YES Plan");
- the definition and structure of the new share purchase plan for Group employees ("YES Plan");
- the definition of the analysis and planning process for human resources to review the succession plan for the Group's senior management;
The Remuneration and Appointments Committee, while providing advice and making proposals, draws on the support of an independent external consultant, Hay Group, which provides information on trends, practices, and market pay levels on a global scale in order to monitor the Top Management pay fairness.
No Director took part in meetings of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee during which proposals relating to their own remuneration are formulated.
The Group Human Resources and Organisation Director acts as Secretary during the Remuneration and Appointments Committee meetings.
3. Remuneration policy principles
The key principles that form the basis of Prysmian's remuneration policy are:
- to adopt a clear and transparent governance model:
"to pursue the creation of a balanced corporate governance system useful to achieve economic and financial objectives while fully safeguarding shareholders, together with the achievement of better performance"
- to support the corporate strategy, attract and retain key human resources for the organisation:
"people are essential to achieve strategic objectives"
- to ensure consistency between the Management "total remuneration" and the Group's performance, in line with shareholders' expectations:
"the essential driver of Prysmian's remuneration systems is the business performance, in fact, a significant part of the Management's remuneration, both short and medium term, depends on the achievement of performance objectives in line with investors' expectations"
- to implement policies in line with the risk profile, through an appropriate balance among the various elements of pay ("pay mix"), aimed at supporting value creation: "the remuneration systems' philosophy favours a concept of performance measured over a time horizon which is sufficient to guarantee sustainability and value creation in the long term."
- to foster the employees' involvement in the Group's results through the purchase and ownership of shares:
"through the YES plan and stock retention policies, Prysmian aims at increasing the number of employee shareholders who are led to participate in the success of the company"
4. Remuneration of the Chairman and of non-executive Directors
The Shareholders' Meeting of 16 April 2015 has approved for the Board, in addition to a reimbursement of all expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, a total gross remuneration of Euro 530,000 for each year in office. The Shareholders' Meeting has also given authority to the Board of Directors to determine the distribution of the above-mentioned remuneration to all or only some of the individual directors, based on the specific responsibilities held by each of them.
The Board of Directors has accepted the proposal submitted by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee which sets forth the following allocation of the annual remuneration:
- (i) Euro 50,000 to each of the 7 independent non-executive directors, pursuant to the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF),
- (ii) Euro 60,000 for the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and
- (iii) Euro 20,000 to each of the 6 members of the internal committees.
5. Remuneration of Executive Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities – elements of pay
The remuneration structure of Executive directors and directors assigned specific duties and Managers with strategic responsibilities is defined by Prysmian with a twofold goal; on the one hand, it aims to attract and retain resources with appropriate professional qualities enabling them to achieve the company's objectives, whilst on the other it seeks to bring the Management's interests in line with those of the shareholders, thereby guaranteeing the sustainability of the business and results in the mediumand long-term.
This section of the report describes the key elements and the guidelines of the Remuneration Policy for the year 2016.
5.1. Fixed remuneration
The Executive directors and the Managers with strategic responsibilities' fixed pay levels are set at the moment of hiring according to the complexity, the actual responsibilities and the experience required of the job, as well as to the reference remuneration market.
The comparison with the remuneration market is carried out with the support of a job evaluation method which enables consistent comparison and ensures a competitive position in the external market. For Top Management positions, the reference market used consists of a panel of around 250 European listed companies supplied by the international company Hay Group which is an expert on remuneration. These companies are included in the FT Europe 500 listing as the main companies in Europe in terms of capitalisation.
The fixed component of the remuneration package is of relative importance on the total remuneration package of the individual directors. This limited weight, yet which is sufficient and appropriate even in the event that the variable part should not be disbursed due to failure to achieve the associated objectives, is such as to reduce excessively risk-oriented behavior, to discourage initiatives focused on short-term results and to enable a flexible approach to be taken towards the variable component.
Once a year, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee prepares a Remuneration Policy proposal for the Top Management to be put for approval to the Board of Directors.
This policy may entail an update to the fixed remuneration. These revisions must take into account a range of factors including competitiveness compared to market remuneration data, sustainability, internal fairness and the individual performance assessed through a global performance assessment system (P3 – Prysmian People Performance). All the employees of the Prysmian Group are concerned by this formal annual performance assessment system, including senior managers. This system envisages the assessment of employees' performance on two fronts: in terms of achieving results and in terms of aligning to the values and leadership model adopted by the Group.
5.2. Variable short and medium/long-term remuneration
The variable component within the remuneration packages offered in Prysmian consists of three main elements:
- annual bonus (short term);
- co-investment of annual bonus + multiplier (medium term);
- performance share (long term);
5.2.1. Annual bonus (MBO)
The variable annual incentive system (MBO - Management By Objectives) designed by the Group for employees holding positions of responsibility aims to align individual conduct with the organization's annual strategic objectives, rewarding the beneficiary for the results achieved in the short-term (1 year).
The annual variable incentive system is reviewed each year by the Appointments and Remunerations Committee that proposes the objectives for the Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities to the Board of Directors, identifying the various metrics.
Each participant is assigned percentages of their gross annual pay in the case of achieving the performance objectives at target level and at the maximum level. The final balance and the payment of the bonus within these percentages will vary depending on the level of achievement of the objectives assigned up to the pre-set maximum (cap). The incentive percentages are defined in relation to the strategic nature of the role, with the aim of balancing the fixed and variable remuneration according to the position held and the impact on results.
A multiplier/demultiplier of the final value of the MBO is then envisaged, linked to the individual performance assessment (P3), but always within the limits of the cap identified in advance for each. In determining the bonus disbursed, the employee's qualitative performance and conduct are therefore also taken into consideration. The MBO plan is subject to a strict regulation and the annual communication process is clear and transparent to all participants.
The payment of the annual Bonus will take place on a proportional basis depending on how many months the person has been at the Group during the performance period, but a minimum working period of nine months in the year is required to receive the proportional amount of the bonus. New recruits will be involved only if they joined the company before July each year.
In line with previous years, the MBO 2016 plan envisages:
- two ON/OFF conditions, of an economic and financial nature, the achievement of which determines the possibility of accessing the system; in the case of failure to achieve one of the two access conditions no incentive will be provided, as happened in 2013 and 2014;
- four objectives which are mainly economic/financial with a different weighting and are independent from one another; the right to payment of a bonus share accrues on achieving the entry level of at least one of these four objectives.
Here below is the scheme of objectives for 2016 for the CEO, Executive Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities.1

| 100 | 150 | $100 -$ | 150 |
All the objectives envisage an entry level (min.) and a maximum limit (max.). Should the entry level value not be achieved, the performance index achieved in regard to that given objective will be zero, instead if the objective is achieved for values between the target value and maximum value, the performance index will be calculated by linear interpolation. Finally, in the case of exceeding the maximum value, the performance index achieved will in any case be equal to the maximum value.
The total performance index of the target scheme is 100, which corresponds to payment of the minimum bonus percentage, and 150 as a maximum which corresponds to the payment of the maximum bonus percentage.
Should the final performance index obtained be below 100 or be between 100 and 150 the final bonus value will be calculated in a linearly proportional manner (diagrams below).
Example of the payout curve in the case of the Chief Executive Officer and in the case of Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities.
In addition, in keeping with 2015, also in the 2016 performance year the multiplier/demultiplier of the accrued MBO will be included, linked to the performance assessment (always using the Group performance management system – P3).
In particular the bonus given will be:
- increased by 15% (of the bonus value accrued) for the first Group line i.e. those who report directly to the CEO in the case of a very positive performance assessment (green evaluation) up to a maximum equivalent to the maximum bonus percentage (cap);
- reduced by 15% (of the bonus value accrued) in the case of a negative performance assessment (red evaluation);
- confirmed in the case of a positive performance assessment (yellow area).
In any case, the payout, including also the part to be co-invested according to the chosen profile in the long-term incentive plan of the Group, may not exceed for the CEO 100 % of his base salary and 75% for Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities.
5.2.2. Co-investment plan
The Plan to defer and co-invest part of the accrued annual bonus (MBO), valid for 2015-2016 represents one of the components of the long-term Incentive Plan, together with the Performance Shares, proposed for 2015-2017 and described below. The LTI 2015-2017 plan was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 16 April 2015.
The Beneficiaries of this Plan, around 300 group key managers, including the Executive Directors and the Managers with strategic responsibilities, have all adhered to the Plan, although it is not obligatory, but is the essential condition for Beneficiaries to access the performance share plan.
The Deferral and co-investment plan envisages part of the payment of the annual bonus accrued for 2015 and 2016 being deferred for a period respectively of two years and one year and, if certain predetermined three-year Group performance objectives are achieved, returned increased in the form of Prysmian shares.
If, on the other hand, said performance objectives should not be achieved, this amount will be returned, again in the form of shares, but reduced by a different percentage, whcih changes depending on the chosen co-investment profile.
The Deferral and co-investment plan therefore also makes a significant portion of the annual incentive (MBO) deferred and conditional on achieving the three-year objectives. As such, the co-investment has a maximum cap linked to the one of the MBOs.
The annual bonus co-investment profiles available to the beneficiaries have chosen and to which different risk levels are associated are the following:
- basic profile: the participant co-invests 25% of their annual bonus potentially accrued in 2015 and 2016 with the possibility of obtaining, in 2018 and in case of target level achievement of the pre-set objectives, a multiple of 1.5 times the amount co-invested (including the Co-investment itself), or of losing 25% of the co-invested amount should the Target not be achieved.
- balanced profile: the participant co-invests 50% of their annual bonus accrued in 2015 and 2016 with the possibility of obtaining, in 2018 and in case of target level achievement of the preset objectives, a multiple of 2 times the amount co-invested (including the Co-investment itself), or of losing 50% of the co-invested amount should the Target not be achieved.
- dynamic profile: the participant co-invests 75% of their annual bonus accrued in 2015 and
2016 with the possibility of obtaining, in 2018 and in case of target level achievement of the preset objectives, a multiple of 2.5 times the amount co-invested (including the Co-investment itself), or of losing 75% of the co-invested amount should the Target not be achieved.
The choice between the different profiles, which is made on accepting the plan (April 2015) and which can no longer be changed, saw a strong preference for the dynamic profile – around 60% of managers in fact opted for this profile.
The objectives to which the multiple/demultiplier will be linked are:
- the Group's accumulated adjusted EBITDA in the three years 2015-17
- the Group's accumulated ROCE in the three years 2015-17
5.2.3. Performance share
The Performance Share Plan for 2015-2017, which was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 16 April 2015, provides for the assignment of a minimum and maximum number of Prysmian Shares. In 2018, the Beneficiaries of the Plan will receive, within the aforementioned range, the number of shares linked to the level of achievement of two three-year economic and financial objectives at Group level:
- the Group's accumulated adjusted EBITDA in the three years 2015-17, counting for 70% and
- the Group's accumulated ROCE in the three years 2015-17, counting for 30%.
| Performance indicators 2015-17 | ||||

The assignment value at the target level (assigned if the target level of both the above objectives is achieved) and the maximum level (if the maximum level of both the above objectives is achieved) has been defined for each beneficiary in relation to the role held, the contribution to results and the individual fixed remuneration levels. The assigned maximum level for each participant represents also the cap.
If an intermediate performance level is achieved between target and maximum, the number of performance shares assigned will be defined by linear interpolation.
In compliance with Art. 6 of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies a lock-up period, deemed of medium/long term nature (2 years) is also envisaged, during which the beneficiaries are not allowed to dispose of part of the shares that may have been allocated to them. For Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities, this lock-up will be applied to 100% of shares, net of those sold to cover tax obligations.
In addition, for Executive Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities 10% of such shares are defined as career shares: Beneficiaries cannot use them until the end of their career in Prysmian.
The plan includes clawback clauses for 4 years and malus clauses for 2 years, aimed at the partial or total recovery of the bonus paid, in particular circumstances, for example fraud. The clause will cover the group CEO and the Senior Management who report to them. It will also cover the other participants if involved in fraud or wilful misconduct.
For more details about the Plan, reference can be made to the related Information Document, available from the website www.prysmiangroup.com, in the Investor Relation - Corporate Governance - Remuneration - Incentive Plans section).
5.3. Benefits
The total pay offer is integrated by the following additional benefits:
- supplementary pension plan
- supplementary medical insurance
- non-professional injuries insurance coverage
- company car
- ticket restaurant
These benefits are adapted to local contexts, taking account of the characteristics of the reference market and regulations.
6. Other elements
6.1 Non-competition agreements
Prysmian envisages the possibility of signing non-competition agreements for Executive Directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities and other employees with key roles within the organization.
In conformity with case law and practice, these agreements provide for the payment of a percentage of annual fixed remuneration, according to the duration and extent of the restriction arising from the agreement itself.
The non-competition agreements in place provide for the payment of this remuneration whilst employment contracts remain valid. As regards the Executive directors and Managers with strategic responsibilities, the Company has established that, progressively, in stipulating new agreements, said remuneration will only be paid upon termination of employment in line with consolidated market practices.
The restriction relates to the sector in which the Group operates and has a variable territorial scope depending on the position held by the individual beneficiary.
For example during 2015 the agreement with the Chief Executive Officer was reviewed and aligned to the new Policy.
6.2 Retention bonus
Without prejudice to its possible offer, to date no retention bonus is applicable to any Executive Director or Manager with strategic responsibilities.
6.3 The "YES" Plan
On 16 April 2013, the Prysmian Shareholders' Meeting approved the share purchase plan, at favourable conditions, for the Group's employees: the YES (Your Employee Share) plan.
The main objectives of the YES plan are the following:
- to strengthen the commitment and the involvement of employees;
- to make shareholders, customers and employees share their interests in the long term;
- to spread the internal perception of the Prysmian Group as "One Company".
The Plan, intended for the Group's employees, has been implemented in 27 countries and offers to the employees the opportunity to purchase Prysmian shares, with a discount granted in the form of treasury shares, within three annual purchase windows (2014, 2015 and 2016), while accepting some time constraints relating to the availability of shares. A maximum number of 500,000 treasury shares are reserved for the Plan.
The employees who participate in the Plan may purchase Prysmian shares with a specific discount that is granted in the form of treasury shares, equal to 1% for Senior Executives (the CEO, Executive Directors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities), 15% for managers and 25% for the remaining employees so as to encourage the participation of employees at all levels. For each category, a maximum annual investment has been set, i.e. Euro 13,335 for Senior Executives and Managers, Euro 8,000 for all other employees, within each purchase window. All participants, except for Senior Executives, will receive an entry bonus equal to 6 shares on the first year of participation.
The plan rules as briefly set out in the previous paragraph have undergone local variations applicable only in some countries. These local variations are described in the addendum to the Regulation, of which they are an integral part.
The Plan launched at global level in 2013 with a take-up of around 32% of employees in its first year, confirmed this success with a percentage of 30% during the second cycle implemented in 2015 and the results of the third cycle closing at the end of 2015 saw the subscription at 23%. The total number of employees who have adhered to the Plan is 44% of all the employees involved.
For further details about the Plan, reference can be made to the related Information Document, available from the website www.prysmiangroup.com, in the Investor Relation - Corporate Governance - Remuneration - Incentive Plans section.
7. End of service or termination indemnity
As regards Executive Directors and/or Managers with strategic responsibilities, the Company undertakes not to enter into ex ante agreements for termination of office or of an employment relationship that are not in line with the provisions of the Code of Conduct and Corporate Governance best practice, in compliance with the laws and local collective bargaining agreements and in any case based on a payment not exceeding a 2-year remuneration.
During 2015, the only agreement that differed from this Policy concerning the Chief Executive Officer, was also brought into line.
Indeed, as from 01/03/2015 a new agreement has been stipulated with Valerio Battista in case of early termination of his employment contract, providing for an indemnity equal to 24 months'salary to be disbursed if the contract is terminated on the initiative of the Company due to consensual termination, to significant changes in role and position or death and permanent disability, but not for cause.
8. Pay structure for auditors
A specific long-term incentive plan has been envisaged for the manager of the Internal Audit Department, with objectives in line with his responsibilities; therefore, he has been excluded from the long-term incentive Plan (LTI 2015-17), in compliance with the indications of Article 6 of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies (2014 Edition). The managers responsible for financial reporting, on the other hand, participate in the Plan; the malus and clawback plans have been included also to protect and support the positive outcome of their work.
