Sabaf S.p.A.'s General Remuneration Policy (hereinafter also "remuneration policy"), approved by the Board of Directors on 22 December 2011, later updated on 20 March 2013, 4 August 2015, 26 September 2017, 24 March 2020 and 23 March 2021, defines the criteria and guidelines for the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors, Executives with strategic responsibilities and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The remuneration policy was prepared:
The remuneration policy lasts three years.
With respect to the remuneration policy submitted to shareholders at the shareholders' meeting of 4 May 2020, the following should be noted:
the adjustments required by the regulations and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code;
the specification of the characteristics of the long-term incentive (LTI) plans based on financial instruments (stock grant) and the introduction of a new stock grant plan, the approval of which is referred to the shareholders' meeting of 6 May 2021, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the TUF. The characteristics of the plan are described in section 4 below under the heading "LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT";
the elimination of attendance fees as an element of the fixed annual component of the remuneration reserved for the members of the Board of Directors and the members of the Committees within the Board of Directors.

a) the allocation or recognition of allowances and/or other benefits, the circumstances justifying their accrual and the deliberative procedures followed for this purpose within the company;
b) the total amount of the allowance and/or other benefits, the related components (including non-monetary benefits, the maintenance of rights related to incentive plans, the fee for noncompetition commitments or any other remuneration allocated for any reason and in any form) and the timing of their payment (distinguishing the part paid immediately from the part subject to deferral mechanisms);
c) the application of any claw-back or malusclause of part of the sum;
d) the compliance of the elements indicated in letters a), b) and c) above with what is indicated in the remuneration policy, with a clear indication of the reasons and the deliberative procedures followed in the event of even partial non-compliance with the policy;
e) information on any procedures that have been or will be followed for the replacement of the executive director or general manager no longer in office.
The Board of Directors is responsible for properly implementing the remuneration policy.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee currently in office comprises three non-executive members, the majority of them independent (Daniela Toscani, Stefania Triva, e Alessandro Potestà), with the knowledge and experience in accounting, finance and remuneration policies that is deemed adequate by the Board of Directors.
Minutes of the Committee meetings are taken and - signed by the chairman of the meeting and the secretary - are kept in chronological order together with the relevant documentation.
The Chairman of the Committee reports to the Board of Directors during the meeting immediately after with regard to the activities carried out by the Committee.
No further rules on the methods of operation of the Committee are currently envisaged.
Actually, enacts what is decided upon by the Board of Directors.
INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS AND EXPERTS

The Company's intention is that the Remuneration Policy:

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 objectives (in particular, Group EBITDA and EBIT) and individual objectives, 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.
The objectives to which the disbursement of significant portions of variable remuneration is conditioned are structured in such a way as to prevent them from being achieved through short-term management choices that would potentially undermine the sustainability and/or the Company's ability to generate profit in the long term.
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.
The principles and characteristics of the remuneration package regulated by the remuneration policy for the persons to whom the policy applies follow the same approach for determining, in general, the remuneration packages offered to employees. In defining each remuneration package proposed by Sabaf to its personnel, the following points are considered as priority elements for assessment:

In preparing the remuneration package referred to in this remuneration policy, account was therefore taken of the fact that employees are generally offered remuneration that includes, in addition to the pay envisaged by the National Collective Labour Contract for the metal and engineering industry, supplemented by second-level negotiations, an individual fixed component and variable components based on the achievement of common or individual objectives. The training opportunities provided and access to the company welfare platform are also part of the remuneration, incentive and enhancement system. Sabaf also aims to establish and maintain effective and efficient working partnerships, aimed at the pursuit of general and individual objectives and, in this perspective, also to encourage - where possible - the development of smart working conditions, including through the use of technologies that ensure continuous value for the company and for individuals and that improve work-life balance.
The definition of a fair and sustainable remuneration package takes into account three main tools:
Each remuneration component is analysed below.
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 determines the fixed remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors.
With regard to the remuneration for Directors holding special offices, the Board of Directors, at the suggestion 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 paid fixed remuneration 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 objectives.
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.

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:
This plan sets a common objective (Group EBIT, which is considered to be the Group's main indicator of financial performance) and quantifiable and measurable individual objectives economic-financial, technical-productive and/or socio-environmental in nature. Some individual objectives refer to technical (e.g. efficiency and quality), management (e.g. meeting deadlines for completion of relevant projects) and sustainability (e.g. environmental performance) parameters. A variable portion of between 30% and 40% of the variable remuneration under the MBO plan is normally related to the common EBIT objective. The plan in question envisages, with regard to the EBIT objective, the payment of remuneration according to the objective achievement range. There is an entry threshold if 80% of the target is reached, entitling the employee to 70% of the variable remuneration, and an extra bonus if the target is exceeded by more than 15%, entitling the employee to a bonus of between 2.1% and 2.8% of gross annual remuneration. For the portion of the variable component of the MBO plan, the payment of which is linked to the achievement of the other objectives, no ranges are routinely provided according to the level of achievement of the target.
The MBO plan includes malus and/or claw back clauses in the event that the objectives of the plan were achieved on the basis of data that later proved to be incorrect.
The allocation of the variable component under the MBO plan is conditional on continued employment until the end of the vesting period.
The objectives 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 objectives 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 Art. 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 paid any variable remuneration.
The remuneration policy envisages the adoption of long-term incentive plans based on financial instruments.
In particular, in compliance with the Shareholders' Meeting authorising resolution, pursuant to Art. 114 bis TUF, at the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and after obtaining the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors will determine the regulation of a longterm share-based incentive plan (stock grants) related to performance targets for the three-year period 2021 to 2023.
The beneficiaries, if not already identified in the incentive 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).
The incentive plan normally provides for a multi-year vesting period, with subsequent allocation of the financial instruments.
On the basis of the remuneration policy, the total or partial allocation of financial instruments is made by the Board of Directors; for the Chief Executive Officer and Executives with strategic responsibilities, the allocation is made at the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The allocation of financial instruments is related to predetermined financial and non-financial performance targets measurable (also year by year) and linked to the creation of value for shareholders over a long-term horizon, based on business plans approved by the Board of Directors. The incentive plan based on performance targets for the three-year period 2021 to 2023, measured year by year, includes the following objectives: an objective based on the Group's EBITDA, to the achievement of which 40% of the attributable shares are linked; an objective based on Return on Investments (ROI), to the achievement of which 35% of the attributable shares are linked; social and environmental sustainability objectives, to the achievement of which 25% of the attributable shares are linked.
The allocation of the shares related to a specific performance target is not envisaged, not even partially, in case of failure to achieve the performance target, within a minimum threshold set by the Board of Directors, which is normally not less than 80%.
The plan can contain catch-all clauses that allow, if the average or cumulative objective or the objective for the last year of the plan is achieved, the allocation of the shares - related to that objective - envisaged for all periods of measurement of that objective set out in the plan.
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.


The incentive plan envisages a lock-up period, lasting at least one year, of a portion of the financial instruments allocated to each beneficiary, normally not less than 40% of the total.
The incentive plan provides for malus and/or claw back clauses in the following cases:

The current Chief Executive Officer entered into a permanent employment contract with the Company, effective as from 12 September 2017. The managerial employment relationship is regulated by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Managers of Companies producing goods and services. In case of early termination of employment at the Company's initiative not due to just cause, a fixed allowance for termination of employment shall be paid, as a redundancy incentive, equal to twice the remuneration including the fixed component and the short-term variable component (MBO). The same allowance is also envisaged: (i) in case of removal from the position of Chief Executive Officer, not for just cause, prior to the approval of the financial statements for the year 2020; (ii) in case of failure to reappoint as Chief Executive Officer for the following period; (iii) in case of resignation for just cause from the office of chief executive officer or from the executive position. There are no specific provisions linking the payment of the termination allowance and the performance of the Company.
Without prejudice to the relationships already in place, the remuneration policy envisages, as a general rule, that the contractual termination-of-employment allowances for the Chief Executive Officer shall not exceed, as a general rule, a maximum of 24 months of the total gross remuneration (including both the gross remuneration as an executive and any gross remuneration for the management position) paid to the chief executive officer, without prejudice to more favourable provisions of any applicable collective bargaining agreement. The remuneration policy also envisages that future agreements with chief executive officers will specify the portion of the termination-of-employment allowance based on the fixed component of remuneration and the portion of the termination-of-employment allowance based on the Company's performance, and provide for specific cases of exclusion of the payment of the terminationof-employment allowance due to the failure to achieve, within pre-defined minimum thresholds, the objectives of the business plan.
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. In case of termination of the relationship for reasons other than just cause or justified reasons by the employer, the Company's remuneration policy allows for consensual agreements to end the relationship in compliance with legal and contractual obligations. These agreements must be approved by the Board of Directors at the suggestion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The Company does not provide Directors other than the Chief Executive Officer with benefits subsequent to the end of their service.
Non-competition agreements concerning employment relationships are entered into by the Company in accordance with Art. 2125 of the Italian Civil Code.
The Chief Executive Officer in office is bound, as a manager, by a post-contractual non-competition agreement for a period of 12 months following the termination of his employment, which provides for a fixed annual fee paid during the term of employment in monthly instalments, with a fixed guaranteed minimum threshold equal in total to slightly less than half of the gross annual fee paid to the Chief Executive Officer as a manager. The non-competition agreement is protected by a fixed penalty for


breach, without prejudice to the possibility of compensation for greater damages. There is no link between the corporate performance and the payment of the fee for the non-competition agreement.
Based on the remuneration policy, non-competition agreements are also envisaged with certain Executives with strategic responsibilities, the terms of which were approved by the Board of Directors, after obtaining the opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. These agreements have a duration of 24 months following the termination of the employment relationship and provide for annual fees, paid during the employment relationship in monthly instalments, equal to 10% of the gross annual remuneration. There is no link between the corporate performance and the payment of fees for noncompetition agreements.
The termination of the employment or collaboration relationship with the Chief Executive Officer, the other Directors and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities - if they are beneficiaries of incentive plans based on financial instruments - determines the effects indicated above under "LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT".
The remuneration policy does not envisage the assignment or maintenance of non-monetary benefits, nor the signing of consultancy contracts, for periods after the termination of the relationship with the Chief Executive Officer, other Directors or Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.

As from 2018, the Company established mechanisms for the ex-post adjustment of the variable remuneration component or claw back clauses to demand the return of all or part of the variable components of remuneration paid out (or to withhold deferred sums), which were determined on the basis of data subsequently found to be clearly incorrect. In this regard, please see item "SHORT-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT" and "LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPONENT" of the remuneration policy.
Directors and other executives with strategic responsibilities may be paid remuneration – exclusively as a fixed amount – for offices held in subsidiaries. In addition to the approval of the subsidiaries' corporate bodies, this remuneration is subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
Based on the remuneration policy, where a variable component is recognised due to the achievement of objectives, the overall remuneration is structured as follows:
(i) the gross annual fixed component of 1 remuneration varies between a minimum of 44% and a maximum of 59%, with an average incidence of 51.5%;
(ii) the short-term variable component varies between a minimum of 11% and a maximum of 14%, with an average incidence of 12.5%;
(iii) the long-term variable component, in the event of achieving the highest of the expected performance targets, varies between a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 42%, with an average incidence of 36%.
1 To be intended as the result of the sum of the fixed component established by the remuneration policy (including the remuneration in case of director and/or gross annual remuneration for employees), fringe benefits, remuneration for offices held in subsidiaries and annual payments for non-competition agreements.

REMUNERATION OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OF THE VICE CHAIRMAN AND OF THE HONORARY CHAIRMAN
No variable remuneration is paid to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, but only fixed remuneration in addition to those of directors for special offices held.
There is a fixed remuneration set by the Board of Directors for the Honorary Chairman.

The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer includes the following components:
Fixed remuneration for the office of Director: the Chief Executive Officer is the recipient of the fixed remuneration for the office of Director (pursuant to Art. 2389 paragraph I Italian Civil Code) and an additional fixed remuneration for the office held.
Third-party civil liability insurance policy: The Company has taken out a third-party civil liability insurance policy for unlawful acts committed in the carrying-out of their respective duties, in violation of obligations established by law and the Articles of Association, with the sole exclusion of deliberate intent. The taking-out of this policy is approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.
Long-term variable component: the long-term incentive is dependent on the achievement of performance targets, proposed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to the Board of Directors, and extends over three years, coinciding with the mandate of the Board of Directors.
If the Chief Executive Officer is also assigned an executive management role within the Sabaf Group, the Board decides on the assignment of the following additional remuneration instruments:
Fixed annual gross remuneration: Employment relationships with Executives with strategic responsibilities are regulated by the Collective National Contract for Industrial Managers. In this regard, fixed remuneration is 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 objectives.
Short- and long-term variable components: Executives with strategic responsibilities are the recipients of short- and long-term incentive plans (cf. paragraph 3). At the time of approval of short- and long-term incentive plans, the Board of Directors is responsible for setting the maximum amounts of variable remuneration, the methods and timing for the payment of this remuneration. Executives with strategic responsibilities can be paid a one-off bonus under the conditions and within the limits set out in the remuneration policy.
Benefits: Executives with strategic responsibilities receive the benefits envisaged for the executives of the Company (Life insurance policy and cover for medical expenses); assignment of company car) and are covered by an occupational risk policy.

The departure may only be made in compliance with the procedures of Consob Regulation no.17221 of 12 March 2010 (Related-party Transactions).
Exceptional circumstances are only situations where the departure from the remuneration policy is required to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay in the market (such as, for example, the need to attract and/or retain key management figures or the need to incentivise key management figures in office with regard to specific industrial objectives that, in contingent conditions, are of particular importance).

For a breakdown of other items, see attachment 3A, statement 7-bis and 7-ter of Consob Regulation 11971 of 14 May 1999.
Table 2 shows the information relating to the stock grant plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and aimed at the Group's executive directors and executives who hold or will hold key positions in the implementation of the Business Plan. Specifically, the column:
▪ "Financial instruments assigned in previous financial years not vested during the financial year" shows the financial instruments assigned in previous years and not vested during the year, indicating the vesting period;

"Vesting period" means the period between the time when the right to participate in the incentive scheme is assigned and the time when the right accrues. Financial instruments vested during the financial year and not assigned are financial instruments for which the vesting period ended during the financial year and which were not assigned to the recipient for failure to meet the conditions under which the assignment of the instrument was conditional (for example, failure to meet performance targets).
The value at the vesting date is the value of the financial instruments accrued, even if not yet paid (for example, due to the presence of lock up clauses), at the end of the vesting period.
For a breakdown of other items, see attachment 3A, statement 7-bis and 7-ter of Consob Regulation 11971 of 14 May 1999.
