2. Purpose of the remuneration policy

The Company's intention is that the Remuneration Policy:

• Ensures the competitiveness of the company on the labour market and attracts, motivates and increases the loyalty of persons with appropriate professional expertise;

• Protects the principles of internal equity and diversity;

• Brings the interests of the management into line with those of the shareholders;

• Favours the creation of sustainable value for shareholders in the medium to long term and maintains an appropriate level of competitiveness for the company in the sector in which it operates;

• Pursues 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 their role in the company.

The remuneration policy envisages the structuring of the remuneration of Executive Directors and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities in such a way that it is significantly made up of variable remuneration, including financial instruments: (i) whose payment is conditional on the achievement of common targets (in particular, Group EBIT) and/or individual targets, not only of an economic-financial nature, but also of a technical-productive and/or socio-environmental nature; (ii) subject, in part, to adequate retention and deferral mechanisms. In this context, the policy aims to encourage the achievement of the strategic objectives set out in the pro tempore business plans in force and to create long-term value for stakeholders, also in line with the principles of corporate social responsibility.

3. Remuneration policy guidelines and instruments

The definition of a fair and sustainable remuneration package takes into account three main tools:

  • Fixed remuneration
  • Variable remuneration (short- and medium- to long-term)
  • Benefits

Each remuneration component is analysed below.

FIXED ANNUAL COMPONENT

The fixed component of the Directors' remuneration is such that it is able to attract and motivate individuals with appropriate expertise for the roles entrusted to them within the Board, and is set with reference to the remuneration awarded for the same positions by other listed Italian industrial groups of a similar size.

The Shareholders' Meeting decides on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, including a fixed amount and attendance fees.

With regard to the remuneration for Directors holding specific positions, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, determines the additional fixed remuneration.

Directors who sit on committees formed within the Board (Internal Control and Risk Committee, Remuneration and Nomination Committee) are granted remuneration that includes a fixed salary and attendance fees intended to reward the commitment required of them.

Executives with strategic responsibilities are paid a fixed annual remuneration, determined so that it is sufficient in itself to guarantee an appropriate basic salary level, even in the event that the variable components are not paid owing to a failure to reach the targets.

The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are paid a fixed remuneration, the amount of which is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting, at the time of their appointment.

INDEMNITY AGAINST THE EARLY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

There is an agreement for the Chief Executive Officer regulating ex ante the economic part concerning the early termination of the employment relationship, in which the amount of the indemnity payable is predetermined.

There are no agreements for other Directors or other Executives with strategic responsibilities regulating ex ante the economic part concerning the early termination of the employment relationship. For the end of the relationship for reasons other than just cause or justified reasons provided by the employer, it is the Company's policy to pursue consensual agreements to end the employment relationship, in accordance with legal and contractual obligations.

The Company does not provide directors with benefits subsequent to the end of their mandate.

The Company has entered into non-competition agreements with the Chief Executive Officer and with certain executives who report to him, the terms of which were approved by the Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

SHORT-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT (ANNUAL)

The Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and in accordance with the budget, defines an MBO plan, for the benefit of:

  • Executives with strategic responsibilities
  • other persons, identified by the Chief Executive Officer, among the managers who report directly to him or who report to the aforementioned managers.

This plan sets a common target (Group EBIT, which is considered to be the Group's main indicator of financial performance) and quantifiable and measurable individual targets economic-financial, technicalproductive and/or socio-environmental in nature.

The targets of the Chief Executive Officer and of the Executives with strategic responsibilities are decided by the Board of Directors, at the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, in accordance with the budget.

The targets of the other beneficiaries of the incentive plans are defined by the Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the budget.

The Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the cases referred to in Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, may decide to pay a one-off bonus to Directors holding specific positions and/or to Executives with strategic responsibilities. The resolution must be motivated and justified by exceptional circumstances, consistent with the objectives of the remuneration policy and, in particular, with that of pursuing the sustainable success of the company. In no case may the one-off bonus exceed 50% of the fixed annual component of the remuneration of the Director holding specific positions or the Executive with strategic responsibilities concerned.

Non-executive directors are not granted any variable remuneration.

LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT

In compliance with the Shareholders' Meeting resolution, at the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and after obtaining the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors approves a long-term incentive plan based on financial instruments (stock grants).

The Beneficiaries, if not already identified in the Plan, are identified by the Board of Directors among the members of the Board of Directors and/or among the managers of the Company or its Subsidiary companies who hold or will hold key positions in the implementation of the Business Plan. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer and/or Executives with strategic responsibilities of the Company, the identification is made on the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

The Board of Directors identifies the total number of rights to be assigned to each beneficiary (within the limits set by the Shareholders' Meeting). All or part of the shares are allocated by the Board of Directors at the end of the vesting period; for the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with strategic responsibilities, the allocation is made on the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

The allocation of shares is related to predetermined (business and individual) performance targets measurable and linked to the creation of value for shareholders over the long term.

The allocation of actions related to the achievement of business targets is not envisaged, not even in part, in the event of failure to achieve at least 80% of these targets.

The allocation of the shares is conditional on the continuation of the employment and/or collaboration and/or administration relationship between the beneficiary and the company at the date of approval of the financial statements for the year in which the allocation is envisaged, according to the criteria established by the incentive plan.

Share-based incentive plans, if approved starting from 2021, will require a prevalent part of the plan to have a total period of vesting and maintenance of the shares assigned of at least five years.
