The Plan provides for the free grant of conditional rights (the "Units"), not transferable to third parties or other beneficiaries, entitling to the free grant of one Sogefi ordinary share at the date and according to the conditions specified in the Plan.

The characteristics of the plan are the same for all the beneficiaries, except for the terms for the conversion of the Units and the granting of the Shares, which are different according to local regulations, as indicated in point 3.4 below.
2. Reasons for implementing the Plan
2.1 Purpose of the Plan
The falls within the category of incentive plans based on a conditional accrual of rights to receive shares for free and it is deemed to be the most effective tool to address the Company's and the Group's interests, for the following reasons:
- first of all, it is an incentive tool aimed at stimulating the pursue of objectives over the medium to long term as it contemplated a deferred compensation over a long period of time;
- furthermore, it is an incentive tool which aligns the interests of the management with those of all the shareholders and the stakeholders as the value of the benefit is determined in relation to the creation of value over the medium to long term, being subject to the achievement of the Group performance targets, including ESG targets, as well as the value of the Share at the time of the exercise;
- lastly, it is an effective retention tool, as the accrual of rights is conditional on the Beneficiaries remaining in the Group, thus strengthening the link between management personnel and the
organization and favouring the consolidation of an experienced management, which is key for an organisation having the complexity of Sogefi.
2.2 Key variables and performance indicators
The Plan provides as follows:
- granting of non-transferable, gratuitous, Units, each of which may grant the right of receiving a Share for free, subject to certain circumstances:
- Units are divided in three categories:
- o Time-based Units, whose accrual is subject to the Beneficiary remaining in the Group and to the expiry of the pre-established accrual terms,
- o Performance Units A, whose accrual is subject to both the expiry pre-established accrual terms and the achievement of performance objectives of the stock market value of the Sogefi shares compared to the value of the shares of a basket of Benchmark Companies
- o Performance Units B whose accrual is subject to pre-established accrual terms and the achievement of certain economic and financial, as well as non-financial objectives defined by the Board of Directors on the basis of the approved business plans.
- vesting of the Units starts after two years as from the Grant Date and occurs throughout the next three financial years;
- accrued Units must be redeemed in any case not later that ten years as from the Grant Date;
- in case of termination of the employment relationship, regardless of the cause, the Beneficiary will maintain title to the Units vested when the relationship ends and will lose title to those non vested yet, excluding the case of death of the Beneficiary, in which event the heirs are attributed all vested and non-vested Units; the Board of Directors has the right, at its discretion and uncontestable decision, to derogate from the above granting one or more Beneficiaries to maintain the rights under the Plan and in particular to maintain partially or totally the Units not yet vested at the time of the termination of the employment relationship;
- the Beneficiary is required to hold at least 10% of the Shares assigned until the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date (minimum holding), except otherwise authorization by the Board.
2.3 Criteria for determining the number of Units to be granted
The number of Units to be granted to each Beneficiary, as well as their allocation among the different categories, shall be determined mainly by considering the role held in the Company or in the companies of the Group and therefore his/her importance for the achievement of the objectives of the Group, as well as the total compensation received by the beneficiary for other reasons.
2.4 Reasons for any decision to grant compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the Company
Not applicable.
2.5 Assessment of significant tax and accounting implications
The Plan involves recording the cost of the market value of the Units granted to the Beneficiaries at the moment of their allocation. Recording shall be done in the income statement, in the period between the Grant Date and the end of the accrual period of the Units. The cost thus determined is tax deductible where provided for by applicable local regulations. In the annual report the cost of Units granted to employees of subsidiaries is recorded as an increase in the cost of equity investments. Any corporate social security contributions, where accrued and provided for by applicable local regulations, are also recorded in the income statement.
2.6 Possible support for the Plan by the Special Fund to encourage worker participation in companies, as per Article 4, paragraph 112, of Italian Law 350 of 24 December 2003
Not applicable.
3. Approval process and timing of instrument granting
3.1 Powers and functions delegated by the Shareholders' Meeting to the Board of Directors for the Plan implementation
The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company will be presented the proposal to grant the Board of Directors any necessary powers to implement the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by the Shareholders' Meeting.
In particular, it will be proposed to grant the Board of Directors any necessary power to implement the Plan, including, without limitation, the power to: (i) identify the Beneficiaries and establish the number and the category of Units to be granted to each one of them, in compliance with the maximum total limit approved by the Meeting; (ii) prepare the Plan Regulation and fulfil all obligations, formalities and communication requirements necessary or appropriate for the purpose of administering and/or implementing the Plan, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Information Document.
3.2 Subjects entrusted with the Plan administration
The administration of the Plan is up to the Board of Directors, which shall make use of corporate functions according to their specific competence.
3.3 Existing procedures for reviewing the Plan
In the event of extraordinary transactions on the Company's capital or similar operations, such as, by way of example but not limited to, capital increase, whether free of charge or for cash, regrouping or splitting of shares, mergers, demergers, extraordinary distributions of dividends or other events that may affect the Units or the Shares, the Board of Directors shall have to make the necessary or appropriate amendments and additions to the Regulations in order to keep the essential contents of the Plan as unchanged as far as possible, and in any case within the limits allowed by the laws in force from time to time.
3.4 Methods by which to determine the availability and allocation of Shares
There exist two different methods for the conversion of the Units and the allocation of Shares to the Beneficiaries, depending on the applicable tax and social security law.
For Beneficiaries whose allocation is subject to French or US laws, on each accrual date the Company shall automatically grant a number of Shares corresponding to the number of Units that have accrued.
The other Beneficiaries (whose allocation of Units is not subject to the French and US law) shall have the right to request the allocation of the relevant Shares as at the accrual date or at one of the subsequent accrual dates, provided that it falls within the Final Term.
The shares granted shall be treasury shares held by the Company.
To this end, on February 24, 2023, the Board of Directors proposed the Shareholders' Meeting to renew the authorisation to the Board of Directors to purchase treasury shares and to grant the Board the decision power over them, without time limits or constraints, also to service the Company's share-based compensation plans.
3.5 Role played by each Director in determining the characteristics of the Plan
The Board of Directors formulates the proposal for the Plan, taking into account the indications expressed by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee regarding the characteristics of the Plan, as provided for by the Corporate Governance Code of listed companies, to which the Company has adhered.
In the event of approval by the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors, again on the basis of the preliminary investigation carried out by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee and its indications, shall define the Regulations of the Plan, the list of Beneficiaries and the number and category of Units to be granted to each one of them, in accordance with the terms and conditions set by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.
The Managing Director and General Manager, as a Beneficiary of the Plan, does not take part in the work and the resolutions of the Board of Directors on this subject. The latter is consulted by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee and, if necessary, by the Board of Directors only in relation to the identification of the Beneficiaries other than himself/herself and the definition of the number and type of Units to be granted.
3.6 Date of the decision taken by the body responsible for proposing the approval of the Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting and any proposal by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee

The Plan proposal was approved by the Board of Directors following the meeting at which the Board of Directors approved the draft Annual Report and Consolidated Annual report for the year 2022, which are respectively subject to submittal to and approval by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, called to approve the Plan.

The Time-based Units shall get to accrual date, with the corresponding right of the Beneficiaries to be granted the Shares free of charge, in twelve instalments, each one corresponding to 1/12 of the total number of Time-based Units granted, every three months starting from the second anniversary after the Grant Date.
The Type A Performance Units shall get to accrual date in twelve instalments, each one corresponding to 1/12 of the total number of Type A Performance Units granted, on the same accrual dates as the Time-based Units, but only on the condition that the Sogefi Index at each accrual date is higher than the Industry Index at that same date. The Type A Performance Unit that (i) have not accrued at an accrual date may accrue at one of the subsequent accrual dates if the Sogefi Index at that subsequent accrual date is higher than the Industry Index at that same date, and those that (ii) have accrued at any of the accrual dates shall be considered definitively accrued and shall not cease to be effective if at one of the subsequent accrual dates the Sogefi Index is not higher than the Industry Index at that same date.
The Type B Performance Units shall get to accrual date in three instalments, each one corresponding to a maximum of 1/3 of the total number of Type B Performance Unit granted, depending on the achievement of the Economic and Financial Objectives and/or the Non-Financial Objectives for the financial years 2024, 2025 and 2026 respectively.

If the objectives are achieved in a given financial year, the Type B Performance Units shall get to accrual on the dates to be specified in the Regulations.

As indicated in point 3.4 above, once the right to convert the Units into Shares has accrued, on the basis of what has been described above, there exist two different ways for the Beneficiaries to be granted the Shares, depending on the local tax and social security regulations applicable to the granting.

During the above period, the Shares shall be subject to the inalienability requirement, except for exception authorised by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has the right, at its own and sole discretion, to make exceptions to the above with reference to one or more of the Beneficiaries - for example by allowing the rights resulting from the Plan to be kept (wholly or partly) even in the event that they cease to exist, in particular keeping (partly or totally) Units that have not accrued or granting Shares (partly or totally) even in the absence of the relative conditions.
In case of death of the Beneficiary, the Heirs thereof may require the allocation of the Shares corresponding to the Units, whether accrued or not, within six months of the date of death. Should they not require the allocation within the aforementioned period, the Units shall cease to be effective.
