REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY
AND ON THE REMUNERATION PAID
(Report drafted pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF
and Article 84-quater of Consob Regulation No. 11971)
SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING April 24, 2024
Letter from the Chairperson of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee
Dear Shareholders,
It is with pleasure that I, as Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and on its behalf as well as of the Board of Directors, submit for your attention the remuneration report "Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid" of Safilo Group S.p.A..

The Policy, in compliance with the Company's governance model, applicable regulations and the recommendations of Borsa Italiana's Code of Corporate Governance, aims to contribute to increasing stakeholder awareness with respect to the correlation of the Company's remuneration policies with corporate strategies, within an increasingly complex context and in the face of the new challenges that Safilo faces with the commitment of its top management.
To this aim, the effort of the Company, the Committee and the Board of Directors has focused on improving this Report, as primary means of communication on the topic of remuneration with our stakeholders, building on the input received as part of the intense engagement activity held with investors and proxy advisors and in view of the indications that emerged from the vote at the Shareholders' Meeting of the 27 April 2023 (further information on the shareholder engagement process, including actions taken by the Remuneration Committee are further discussed on pages [13-14]).
The 2023 year was another challenge intense year, from inflationary pressure still to be overcome to tough geopolitical contexts which continued to create new pressures and uncertainties for companies and individuals alike. It was also a period which displayed the remarkable resilience of the international economy with many in the tech industry looking at 2023 as the pivotal year for generative artificial intelligence.
Since 2020, our Group has endured a pandemic, war in Europe and supply chain difficulties, facing with great energy and passion its headwinds and seizing new opportunities with determination. In 2023, Safilo continued to prove its resilience, adapting better and faster than expected to the external pressures, in particular to the downsizing of its marketplace in Europe following the integration of the GrandVision chains into the EssilorLuxottica's network. In such an environment, it was therefore particularly significant for our Group to achieve a level of revenues and adjusted operating profitability very close to the excellent results recorded in 2022, when Safilo's top line grew by 12% compared to pre-pandemic 2019 and margins were the highest of the last seven years.
In all these years of important changes and significant improvements, Safilo has been placing the digital transformation at the heart of its business agenda, with a new data-driven approach enabled by state of the art ERP and BTB systems, which today place our Group at the forefront of innovation.
And our path has also been marked by a growing commitment on Sustainability, which is today at the core of our Group's business strategies and is based on the development of projects and initiatives that contribute to the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Last year our Sustainability strategy made additional steps in the right direction, as we set and presented our medium-term objectives, including our scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas reduction targets, which were last February validated by the Science Based Target initiative.
In this context, therefore, the Group's ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate the best resources becomes increasingly important, because people represent the Company's main critical success factor. The Policy is therefore confirmed as central to supporting the retention of the Group's key profiles and distinctive skills, while also guiding management's decision in the macroeconomic scenario that is emerging and ensuring continuity in the path already taken by the Company, increasingly oriented, as mentioned, to the pursuit of results correlated with the Group's sustainability strategy.
With regard to the 2024 Remuneration Policy, described in Section I of the Report, the main changes concern:
- the description in detail of the Short Term Incentive system, which sees an increase in the weight of the economic-financial KPIs in order to ensure a strong link with the Company's results;
- a new Long Term Incentive scheme for the three-year period 2024 2026;
- a more streamlined and effective drafting of this Report so as to make it easier for professional users to find key information (by including a summary table and more graphs and tables to display relevant information at a glance);
- greater level of detail concerning the activities carried out by the Committee during the reporting year;
- greater transparency in particular regarding the link between company performance and bonus payout in both Section I and Section II;
- the alignment of the remuneration policy with market best practices and the instructions from proxy advisors, in the area of malus and claw back clauses.
Furthermore, during this year, the Board of Directors, with the support of the Committee, proceeded with the review of the level of competitiveness of Safilo's remuneration policy, taking into appropriate consideration the relevant benchmarking analyses, compared to coherent peer group, the guidelines of proxy advisors and institutional investors. The improvement path started in 2024 is a commitment that we intend to develop and to keep improving in the following years with determination and continuous attention.
At the end of our three-year term of office, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the other members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, Irene Boni and Jeffrey A. Cole, for the valuable contribution they performed.
Finally, I thank you, as Shareholders, for the attention you will give to this Report, in the hope that it will meet with your broad approval at the meeting.
Yours sincerely,
Cinzia Morelli-Verhoog,
Chairperson of Safilo's Remuneration and Nomination Committee

3. Independent experts
The Company decided to enlist the support of the consultancy firm The European House - Ambrosetti to carry out benchmarking analyses, as well as for the drafting of this Report.
4. Determination of Policy and Remuneration and Working Conditions of Safilo Group Employees
The Policy consists of tools and logics, applied to the entire company population, aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining people with the professional skills necessary to contribute to the definition of the growth strategy and to the strengthening of the Company's long-term interests aimed at creating sustainable value, also through ESG objectives that the Company has set to achieve and of which disclosure is given as part of the Annual Non-Financial Report. In particular, it is based on the principles of fairness, equal opportunities, meritocracy and competitiveness in relation to the market.
In defining the remuneration policy, the Company has therefore taken into account the remuneration and working conditions of its employees.
In particular, the criterion for the definition of the economic package, parameterized to professional capabilities, the organizational role held and the responsibilities attributed, is aimed, among other things, at determining the remuneration of the members of the corporate bodies and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities in a harmonious way and consistent with the working conditions of
the employees, always from the point of view of maximum objectivity, in order to avoid any form of discrimination or unjustified imbalance.
In addition, the salaries of the Company's employees are systematically verified and analyzed with appropriate comparison tools based on factors such as the sector in which the company operates, the role played, seniority and the market of work.
The Company also ensures a safe, functional and pleasant work environment, working methods that facilitate effective and efficient collaboration, including smart working where possible, and training in line with business priorities that facilitates the evolution of knowledge and skills as well as opportunities for growth.
5. Inspiring principles of the remuneration policy and its purposes, duration and any changes with respect to the remuneration policy last submitted to the shareholders' meeting and how this revision takes into account the votes and evaluations expressed by the shareholders during such meeting or subsequently
The Company sets out and applies a remuneration policy designed to attract, motivate and retain, for all key positions and functions, highly competent resources, so as to maintain proper professional standards within a highly competitive market.
The objective of this Policy is to align management's and shareholders' interests, by pursuing the primary aim of creating sustainable value in the medium-long term, through the implementation of a strong relation between remuneration, on one side, and individual and Group's performance, on the other side.
In particular, this Policy, has been drawn up with a view to guaranteeing a generally balanced remuneration structure, through a proper balance between fixed and variable components, in order to guide the achievement of performance according to the levers related to the Company role without inducing risky and short-term oriented behaviour as well as to ensure that the remuneration systems are not in contrast with the Company values, the strategies and the creation of sustainable value in the medium to long term and prudent risk management policies.
The Policy, in accordance with the purposes outlined above, is based on the following criteria:
- i. definition of limits for variable components;
- ii. determination of the fixed component defined in a manner congruous with respect to the proxies and to specific offices and to the strategic role and responsibilities assigned;
- iii. predetermination and measurability of performance targets related to the payment of variable components; in particular, the performance objectives are:
- a. priority objectives, as they are directly connected to the Company's medium-long term strategy;
- b. measurable, as assessed with clear and predefined indicators;
- c. realistic, as considered achievable although challenging and ambitious;
- d. defined temporally, as they are placed within a specific time dimension;
- e. aimed at promoting sustainable success;
- iv. creation of a direct link between remuneration and performance through mechanisms that establish the payment of different levels of premiums linked to partial, total or overachievement of objectives;
- v. provision, for the company population receiving short and long-term variable remuneration components, of ex post correction mechanisms (clawback and malus);
- vi. prediction of overall contribution levels able to recognize the professional value of people and their contribution to the creation of sustainable value in the short and medium-long term.
These principles are incorporated and implemented concretely within the management remuneration structure, in particular within the incentive systems. In this regard, please see paragraph 6.


The above KPI's Metric highlights that some KPIs are used to drive both short-term and long-term variable remuneration since they are the fundamental financial indicators to measure business progress in the short and long term.
In order to ensure continuous dialogue with shareholders and to facilitate their involvement in defining the guidelines of the Company's Remuneration Policy and, at the same time, to maintain the necessary flexibility to promptly respond to present and future needs, this Policy has an annual duration and will be followed for at least the next financial year (2024).
With regard to the remuneration paid, the remuneration policy provides for the monitoring of market trends with particular reference to practices in terms of remuneration. The comparison with the market is made using analyzes developed by independent companies specialized in the subject or through the study and analysis of the information present on the market. This benchmarking activity is useful for evaluating the competitiveness of the compensation packages offered in order to attract and retain the most talented people on the market.
Shareholder Engagement Activity
In 2023, before and after its Annual General Meeting, Safilo strengthened its dialogue with proxy advisors and some of its most important shareholders on the front of the Group's compensation practices, in order to gather and analyze the emerged areas of concern and to start addressing the suggested improvements. At its 2023 AGM, the Group's remuneration policy and remuneration report was supported by 80.7% of the voting shareholders, while 15.9% expressed a vote against and 3.5% were abstained votes, with a decline of the votes in favour, standing at 96,3% at the 2022 Annual General Meeting. In order to start addressing the dissent voiced by investors and proxy advisors on the level of disclosure and the overall design of Safilo's remuneration report and policy, the Group has drafted an action plan which encompass specific measures and commitments to allow shareholders to better assess the links between remuneration, performance and performance objectives. In particular, the main changes in this Report are shown in the following table:
MAIN CHANGES OF SAFILO'S REMUNERATION POLICY AND

14
6. Remuneration policies 2024
In order to correctly define the Remuneration Policy and the remuneration package, fixed and variable (short and long term), cash or equity of the Chief Executive Officer, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities as well as the management, the Company, with the support of specialized consultants periodically carries out a remuneration benchmark analysis.
As anticipated, ex post correction mechanisms (clawback and malus) are also provided for the company population receiving short and long-term variable remuneration components.
6.1 The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Taking into account the renewal of the office for the time horizon 2024-2026, it has been envisaged a new contract regarding the remuneration package for the Chief Executive Officer, defined in line with market practices.
For the definition of the new CEO's package, the evaluation of the remuneration positioning was carried out against a Peer Group made up of 14 listed Italian non-financial companies, comparable with Safilo according to most of the following criteria: size (turnover, market capitalisation, number of employees) and sector (fashion industry).

The Company aims at paying a Fixed remuneration according to the Median of the market while using a more competitive approach for the STI and LTI part, reflecting the challenging environment.
The new package reflects the above principle, including an increase in the fixed remuneration part. Indeed, on the fixed component, the new amount is positioned closer to the Median, while the previous one was slightly above the First quartile; on the variable components, the positioning remains unchanged.
The Chief Executive Officer's remuneration is composed by the Total Annual Compensation and, as a consequence, by:
- a gross annual fixed component (including the remuneration for the office of Executive Director, the remuneration for the office of member of the Board of Directors as resolved upon by the Shareholders' Meeting and an additional gross annual fixed component as manager of the Group);
- a variable component defined within maximum limits and aimed at remunerating expected short and medium/long-term performance, in monetary form or through equity instruments, subject to predetermined performance conditions; as well as;
- possible other forms of remuneration as specified below.
At the time of the approval of the Policy by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer is the recipient of short-term (so-called STAR) and medium-long-term (so-called LTI Plans) monetary incentive plans.
The Chief Executive Officer is also included among the recipients of the compensation plan based on financial instruments pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF, in the form of Stock Option (2017- 2020 Plan, 2020-2022 Plan and 2023-2025 Plan).


Note: the long-term variable component refers to the sum of the annualized value of the LTIP plan, equal to € 1.000.000, and the estimate of the fair value of the options that will be granted during 2024, same as 2023 and equal to € 252.000, subject to approval by the competent corporate bodies.
a. Fixed component
With reference to the fixed component of the Chief Executive Officer, this is defined in a congruous way with respect to the delegations and particular offices and strategic responsibilities assigned, taking into account benchmark analyses and the prior opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee, as well as that of the Board of Statutory Auditors. An overall fixed remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer is envisaged as follows:
- i. the gross annual emolument of Euro 600,000 in relation to the office of Chief Executive Officer - which has been increased of Euro 200,000 in comparison to previous year (around +33%), based on the benchmark.
- ii. the gross annual emolument of EUR 400,000 as a manager, which includes a 20% aimed at compensating the "non-competition" covenant – unchanged in comparison to previous year.
b. Short-term variable component
The STAR allows an evaluation of the beneficiary's performance on a yearly basis, linking it with the performance of the Group.
The STAR targets for the Chief Executive Officer are set by the Board of Directors upon the proposal of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and are connected to the yearly financial performance of the Group, to which non-financial strategic objectives have also been added, starting from 2022.
The actual value to be paid is determined based on the level of achievement of these objectives. With regard to the weight of the objectives, the 2024 remuneration policy gives a more balanced relevance to the group's Net Sales and Ebitda adjusted, with the former increased to 40% from 30% and the latter decreased from 60% to 50%, in order to take better account of the group's mediumterm objectives and of the importance to grow sales in a highly competitive business environment as such in eyewear.
| OBJECTIVES | WEIGHT |
|---|---|
| Group Net Sales | 40% |
| Group Ebitda adjusted | 50% |
| ESG | 10% |
| TOTAL | 100% |
With regard to the 'ESG targets', it refers to two sustainability targets that ensure a direct link between the short-term incentive system and the company's sustainability strategy. The sustainability targets address two strategic areas for the Group: planet (CO2 Emissions) and product (sustainable models).
| ESG OBJECTIVES | WEIGHT | |
|---|---|---|
| Planet: CO2 Scope 1&2 Emissions | 50% | |
| Product: % of Sustainable models on new collection |
50% | |
Each target is assessed independently (therefore, failure to achieve a target does not preclude the payment of the portion of STAR, in case of achievement of the others).
In relation to the financial targets, the payout changes depending on the target's achievement of a minimum, a target or a maximum level. Below the minimum level, the relative payout does not accrue; starting from the minimum level, the payout is increased proportionally, up to a maximum of 125%, in case of performance between the target level and the maximum level.

Non-financial targets can be achieved only at target level, and therefore if the level of achievement is lower than the target, no provision will be made; if it is at target level, the payout is increased by applying the overachievement of the adjusted Ebitda target, if any, stretching the bonus proportionally (in line with the STAR Program applicable to all other eligible beneficiaries).
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee then checks the year after, the performance of the Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of verifying the achievement of the STAR targets in the year before.
c. Medium- long term variable component
The long-term component of the variable remuneration includes various incentive plans, already approved as part of the Company's previous remuneration policies (as well as, in the case of plans based on financial instruments, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF).
In particular, the following are in the process of: (i) exercise period, the Stock Option Plan (2017- 2020), (ii) exercise period, the Stock Option Plan (2020-2022), (iii) vesting period, the Stock Option Plan (2023-2025). In addition to these, there is the new Long Term Monetary Incentive Plan, as described below.
The Company's decision to adopt two types of variable long-term incentive systems, namely the Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan (LTIP) and the Stock Option Plans, was made in order to align the interests of beneficiaries with those of investors. The two systems are, in fact, complementary to each other: the LTIP has the main purpose of incentivising Top Management and part of the management to achieve specific performance KPIs, closely linked to the strategic priorities that the Group has shared with its shareholders and the entire financial community: growth of sales, profitability, cash generation and sustainability objectives; the Stock Option Plan is aimed at further aligning interests, recognising a bonus directly related to the growth of the company's value.
Stock Option Plans
The Stock Option Plans substantially consist of the free assignment of option rights for the subscription of Safilo ordinary shares. The rights assigned to each beneficiary accrue only if predetermined access conditions and, where present, a performance objective are met, and can then be exercised in a deferred period of time, as described in the Company's previous remuneration policies and related explanatory documents.
The details of these plans are illustrated in the illustrative reports and information documents published in accordance with the law on the Company's website (www.safilogroup.com).
Stock Option Plan 2023-2025
The Shareholders' Meeting approved on 27 April 2023, upon proposal of the Board of Directors, after the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, the retention and incentive plan "Stock Option Plan 2023-2025 of Safilo Group S.p.A. and Safilo S.p.A.", linked to the appreciation of the value of the Shares on Euronext Milan.
As in previous years, the Group believes that this system ensures full and constant alignment between the interests of the management and those of the shareholders, being naturally linked to the growth in value of Safilo's shares.
The plan provides for the free assignment of a maximum of 22,000,000 options valid for the assignment of a maximum of 22,000,000 ordinary shares, at a ratio of 1 (one) ordinary share for every 1 (one) option awarded and exercised pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan.
In addition to employees retention's purposes, the 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan is also implemented to offer incentives to the same beneficiaries, through the use of an instrument aimed at aligning beneficiaries and shareholders' economic interest towards a common goal of share price increase.
The Exercise Price of each Share underlying the Options shall be equal to the average weighted by volume of the daily Official Prices of the Shares for the preceding month leading up to the day on which the Board of Directors determines the number of Options to be assigned under the 2023- 2025 Stock Option Plan.
The 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan includes a total time horizon of approximately 10 years (2023- 2033): this timeframe was judged to be the most suitable for achieving the aimed retention and incentive purposes and to focus the beneficiaries' attention on the medium-long term factors of strategic success of the Group. In particular, the options under the plan may be granted in no more than three tranches.

The 2017-2020 Stock Option Plan and the 2020-2022 Stock Option Plan do not contain any clauses for the retention of the shares after their acquisition, considering that they cover a long period of time (as they provide for a vesting period of three years and a further five-year period for the possible exercise of the options).
The 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan includes provisions for holding the financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition.
In particular, the Chief Executive Officer and the Managers with Strategic Responsibility of the Company shall hold on a continuous basis a number of shares equal to 10% of the awarded options (the "Relevant Shares") for a period of time having a variable duration depending on the date in which the options related to each tranche are exercised pursuant to the plan regulations, except in the case of termination of the relationship with the Company as specified below. More specifically, the lock-up period will expire at the 24th month from the first date in which the options become exercisable.
The Relevant Shares subject to the lock-up period are therefore subject to an inalienable restriction until the above deadline has expired, unless differently authorized in writing by the Board of Directors, subject to the favorable opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The lock-up restriction shall cease on the date of the termination of (i) the executive corporate relationship with the Company, in case of the Chief Executive Officer or (ii) the employment relationship with the Company, in case of the Managers with Strategic Responsibility.
The assignment of the Options is free of charge. The Beneficiaries shall therefore not be required to pay any consideration to each Grantor for such assignment. Any exercise of the Options and the related subscription or purchase of the Shares will be instead conditioned upon the payment of the Exercise Price. The Company shall award Options to Beneficiaries who are its own employees and/or employees of other companies within the Group and Safilo shall award Options to Beneficiaries (already identified by the Company) who are its own employees and/or employees of any of its Subsidiaries. The Shares serving the Plan shall derive from (i) the shares' issuance in cash up to a maximum number of 11,000,000 ordinary Shares, with exclusion of the pre-emption right pursuant to Article 2441, Paragraph 8 of the Italian Civil Code and (ii) the Buy-Back.
Assuming that all the Options to be served through newly issued Shares have been assigned and exercised, the maximum dilution effect for the shareholders of the Company would be approximately equal to of 2.60% of their shareholding.
Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan
The Chief Executive Officer has been granted a 3-year monetary long-term incentive program ("LTIP") (for the reference period January 2024 – December 2026).
The LTIP Payment shall be made in two instalments: (i) 60% within April 2026 based on the results for the financial years 2024 and 2025 approved by the Board of Directors ("First Cash Payout"); (ii) within April 2027, the remaining 40% of the amount accrued in relation to the financial years 2024 and 2025 (deferred bonus), as well as the amount accrued based on the results to the financial year 2026 approved by the Board of Directors ("Second Cash Payout").
The payment of the First and Second Cash Payout is subject to the following conditions (i) achievement of identified Group targets; and (ii) the corporate office of Chief Executive Director of Safilo Group S.p.A. is in force when the First and Second Cash Payout become due and payable (without prejudice to the provisions of Paragraph g below).
| OBJECTIVES | WEIGHT |
|---|---|
| Group Net Sales | 35% |
| Group Ebitda adjusted | 40% |
| Free Cash Flow | 15% |
| ESG Targets | 10% |
| TOTAL | 100% |
Compared to the previous long-term incentive plan, taking into account the strategic relevance for the Company in the long term, the following sustainability objectives were introduced among the parameters of the plan.

The level of payout changes depending on the target achievement of a minimum or a maximum level, to be assessed independently for each objective (therefore, failure to achieve an objective does not preclude the payment of the portion of payout, in case of achievement of the others). Below the minimum target for each objective, the relative payout does not accrue; starting from the minimum level, the payout is increased proportionally, up to a maximum of 125%, in case of performance between the target level and the maximum level.

d. Malus and Clawback clauses
Without prejudice to any other action that may be available under applicable law, the Company may (i) demand the restitution, in whole or in part (clawback) or (ii) withhold, in whole or in part (malus), variable components, whether short or long term, of remuneration that are determined on the basis of data that have proven to be manifestly erroneous, or wilfully altered or falsified, including through conduct that is significantly contrary to legal, regulatory or statutory provisions, contractual provisions or, in any case, to company rules of conduct.
e. Exceptional bonuses and other remuneration
The Policy does not provide for any additional remuneration to be awarded to the Chief Executive Officer for his possible activity as a director of subsidiaries.

In line with the market, the remuneration package of the Chief Executive Officer shall include some benefits, which are an integral part thereof. These consist primarily of assignment of company cars for mixed use and housing.
g. Treatment in the event of termination of office or termination of employment
On 3 November 2023, the Company signed an agreement with the current Chief Executive Officer aimed, inter alia, to settle ex ante the economic aspects relating to any early termination of the mandate (a) at the Company's initiative without just cause, or (b) at the initiative of the same Chief Executive Officer in the event of (x) a change of control in the Company, of (y) non-compliance by the Company with the obligation to pay a significant portion of the remuneration or bonus due to him as Chief Executive Officer or Manager or of (z) the Company's withdrawal from the employment contract without cause.
In particular, the agreement provides for the payment of the following "exit package", the payment of which is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, in the event that the Company revokes the mandate as Chief Executive Officer or does not renew it until the approval of the Company's financial statements at 31 December 2026:

- B. in the event that, in the absence of just cause, the Chief Executive Officer is not offered, for the period following the approval of the Company's financial statements as at 31 December 2026, a renewal in office at conditions substantially similar to those of the agreement of 3 November 2023, the agreement provides for the payment of the following "exit package", which accrues upon the occurrence of certain additional conditions:
- i. an amount corresponding to the sum of (x) 6 monthly fixed emoluments as Director and Chief Executive Officer and (y) half of the bonus accrued in the previous year; and
- ii. an amount corresponding to 18 months' remuneration as an Manager, to be deemed in lieu of and absorbing, inter alia, the indemnity in lieu of notice and the additional indemnity pursuant to the applicable national collective agreement.
Finally, the agreement provides for the non-competition undertaking of the Chief Executive Officer for a period of one year after the termination of the office and / or employment relationship, with reference to activities in competition in the same business sector of the Company and in the territories of Italy, France, United States and Switzerland, to be remunerated during the term of the employment relationship.
In the aforementioned agreement, Angelo Trocchia's participation in the LTIP plan is provided for. With reference to this plan, the agreement provides that in the event of his early termination from the office:
- o as a consequence of (x) the termination by the Company without cause or (y) the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer for good reason, before the First Cash Payout becomes due and payable, the Chief Executive Officer will receive, subject to the occurrence of certain conditions (the "Conditions"), a prorated First Cash Payout in proportion to the actual period of service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company in years 2024 and 2025; while the Second Cash Payout will be entirely forfeited;

SECTION II
Part I
1) Representation of each of the items comprising remuneration
Part I herein provides a suitable representation of each of the items comprising the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors, Statutory Auditors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, paid in accordance with the 2023 Remuneration Policy.
The purpose of the remuneration is to align the interests of management with those of shareholders, pursuing the priority objective of creating sustainable value in the medium to long term, through the implementation of a strong link between remuneration, on the one hand, and individual and Group performance, on the other. In particular, through remuneration, the Company has sought to ensure the correct elaboration and implementation of remuneration systems, ensuring that the remuneration systems referred, in particular, to the Chief Executive Officer and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities are not contrary to company objectives and values, medium-long-term strategies and prudent risk management policies. In other words, remuneration allows to ensure an overall balanced remuneration structure, through an adequate balance between fixed and variable parts, in order to guide the achievement of performance according to the levers related to the company role without inducing risky and short-term oriented behaviors as well as to ensure that pay systems are not at odds with company values, strategies and the creation of sustainable value in the medium to long term and prudent risk management policies.
The tables in Part II of this Section also provide details of the amounts relating to the aforementioned items that make up the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities with the clarification that, for Directors and Statutory Auditors, the amounts are indicated by name while for Managers with Strategic Responsibilities the information is provided at the aggregate level.
In particular, during 2023, the employment relationship of the Manager with Strategic Responsibilities in office at the date of approval of the previous Report ended (Gerd Graehsler, in office from 01/01/2023 to 27/08/2023) and the Chief Financial Officer and Financial Reporting Manager was appointed as new Manager with Strategic Responsibilities (Michele Melotti, in office as MSR from 28/08/2023 to 31/12/2023).
In compliance with the provisions introduced by the update of the Issuers' Regulations, the following figure is an indication of the proportion5 between the fixed remuneration and the variable remuneration pertaining to 2023 of the Chief Executive Officer, whose remuneration is illustrated below in Table 1.
5 Pay mix of the remuneration accrued in 2023, taking into account the fixed component, the short-term variable component (STAR 2023) and the long-term variable component (LTIP accrued and the Fair Value corresponding to the valuation of stock options).

The total annual remuneration of directors and statutory auditors is substantially unchanged in the three-year period 2021-2023. Most of the changes, relating not to the set annual remuneration but to the remuneration actually received in the year of competence, are due to the changes in the composition of the Board of Directors and, in particular, in the positions of Chairperson and/or member of the committees within the Board of Directors, resulting in a pro-quota payment of the annual compensation provided for.
Please note that in the year 2020, in relation to the COVID-19 emergency, the Directors decided to renounce an instalment of their annual remuneration as members of the Board of Directors. In the same year, the actual gross salary was reduced due to the COVID-19 emergency and social safety nets were used to deal with the emergency situation, resulting in a reduction in the remuneration received by the employee.
4) Vote cast by the Shareholders' Meeting on this Section II of the previous financial year The Shareholders' Meeting held on 27 April 2023 approved (non-binding vote) Section II of the Remuneration Report for the financial year 2022 with 280,524,804 votes in favour (80.67% of the voting capital), 55,178,161 votes against and 12,038,631 votes abstained.
