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, 2025
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 report on the "Remuneration Policy and Remuneration 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 at contributing to increasing stakeholder awareness about the consistency 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, providing an increasingly clear, complete and transparent picture of the application of the Remuneration Policy of the 2024 financial year. This has taken into account, among other things, the indications received as part of the engagement activity that, also in the past financial year, was held with investors and proxy advisors.
In 2024 the eyewear industry has not been immune to the global economy challenges. Specifically, the sunglasses category representing around half of Safilo's revenues, has experienced headwinds, in particular in North America, with key wholesale channels adopting a more cautious purchasing approach amid uncertain demand trends.
In this challenging environment, Safilo demonstrated its ability to adapt, consolidating its competitive position through careful and dynamic brand management and strategic investments. A key operation was the acquisition of the perpetual license for Eyewear by David Beckham, a successful brand that has further reinforced our Group's business model, enhancing portfolio balance and its stability. Last year, Safilo also completed the long-term stabilization of its licensed portfolio, renewing Hugo Boss and Marc Jacobs, alongside the continuation of other important licences.
Despite a 2.3% decline in sales at constant exchange rates, due to the slowdown in North America and some emerging markets, as well as the exit of the Jimmy Choo licence – factors partially offset by solid growth in the European market - Safilo closed the fiscal year with an improvement in all economic and financial indicators.
Safilo achieved particularly strong results in terms of industrial margins, reaching nearly 60% of sales thanks to increased production efficiency. Meanwhile, operating performance improved despite an unfavourable operating leverage and sustained marketing investments.
Furthermore, Safilo has strengthened its financial profile through solid Cash Generation and stable Net Debt, despite the acquisition of the perpetual license and the buyback of own shares.
With respect to the actions taken, I would like to remind you that the Remuneration Policy, by integrating the Sustainability Objectives into the remuneration system (both short and medium-long term), has been crafted to support the Company's performance in the present as well as future-proofing Safilo's assets. We believe that the tools outlined in the Remuneration Policy contribute to the pursuit of the Company's strategic objectives in a sustainable manner. They are consistent with the Company's principles and values over the medium to long-term, and take into account risks and uncertainties related to the climate change and their implications on the business.
The new STAR performance targets also include CO2 Scope 3 Emission, in compliance with the principles of the Remuneration Policy.
In addition, I would like to point out that the Committee is working on the new Equity Plan in order to further align the remuneration of the top management with the Company's strategy.
I would like to 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
Given the extensive and in-depth benchmarking analysis carried out for the drafting of the 2023 Report with the support of the consultancy firm The European House - Ambrosetti, no further intervention by independent experts has been requested in the preparation of this Policy.
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 Sustainability Statement. 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, and in particular the Policy regarding the variable components, 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 congruous manner, on a case by case basis, 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.

| PARAMETERS | STAR | ITIP | SOP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group Net Sales | O | O | |
| Group Ebitda adjusted | O | O | |
| Free Cash Flow | O | O | |
| Planet: GHG Scope 1&2 | O | O | |
| Planet: GHG Scope 3 | O | O | |
| Product: % of Sustainable models on new collection | O | 0 | |
| Safilo share performance | 0 |
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 (2025).
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
At its 2024 Annual General Meeting, the Group's remuneration policy and remuneration report was supported by 79.1% of the voting shareholders, while 20.7% expressed a vote against and 0.1% were abstained votes, with a slight decline of the votes in favour, standing at 80,7% at the 2023 Annual General Meeting. In order to start addressing the concern 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 introduced in the last year and updated in this Report are shown in the following table while during 2025 the Company will study a new equity plan.

6. Remuneration policies 2025
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)
As a result of the evaluations and the benchmarking exercise explained in the last year Report, 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.
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 2025, same as 2024 and equal to € 306.000 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.
ii. the gross annual emolument of EUR 400,000 - as a manager, which includes a 20% aimed at compensating the "non-competition" covenant.
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 2025 remuneration policy, in line with the previous 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 medium-term 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).

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 only be achieved at the target level, and therefore if the level of achievement is below the target, no payout will be earned. If the achievement level is at the target, the payout is increased proportionally, considering the achievement level of the adjusted Ebitda.
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 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 the employees retention 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 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 mo stsuitable 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 Buyback5.
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.

6.2 The Remuneration of the Manager with Strategic Responsibilities

- a gross annual fixed component (set by the Chief Executive Officer, giving notice to the Committee).

Note: the fix remuneration includes € 30.000 for the remuneration as Financial reporting manager (so called "Dirigente Preposto") and € 30.000 for the remuneration as Sustainability Reporting Manager; the long-term variable component refers to the sum of the annualized value of the LTIP plan, equal to € 90.000, and the estimate of the fair value of the options that will be granted during 2025, same as 2024 and equal to € 170.000, subject to approval by the competent corporate bodies.
a. Fixed component
The fixed remuneration component is linked to the significance of the position, the organisational role held and its responsibilities. The Company continuously monitors the market practices as regards the fixed remuneration components in order to align itself with the best practices in the field. The Policy does not contemplate the allocation to the Manager with Strategic Responsibilities of any additional remuneration for any activities as directors of a subsidiary.

Below the minimum level, the relative payout does not accrue; starting from the minimum level, the payout is increased proportionally by up to 125% in case of performance between target and maximum level.
The STAR payout, resulting from the actual level of achievement of the assigned objectives, is increased or decreased of a 10% through the application of a multiplier, linked to the adjusted Ebit: if below a minimum level defined, a negative multiplier is applied (-10%), if above a maximum level defined, a positive multiplier is applied (+10%).

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.

* Consistent with previous years, the CEO's remuneration includes € 1,000,000 as the allocated amount for 2024 (estimated at target level) of the three-year long-term incentive plan.
The total annual remuneration of directors and statutory auditors is substantially unchanged in the three-year period 2022-2024. 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.
