We propose that you approve the Plan, granting a maximum total number of 1,000,000 Units and delegating the Board of Directors to draw up the Regulations of the Plan, identify the beneficiaries and define the number of Units to be granted to each one of them.

The following resolution is submitted for your approval:

1.3 Indication of the names of the persons benefiting from the Plan belonging to the following groups: a) general managers of the issuer, b) other executives with strategic responsibilities of the issuer (not a "small sized" issuer) in the event that they have received, during the course of the financial year, total remuneration greater than the highest total remuneration among those attributed to the Members of the Board of Directors and General Managers, c) individuals controlling the issuer of shares who are employees or who perform collaboration activities in the issuer of shares

The General Manager Mr. Frédéric Sipahi. There are no individuals belonging to groups b) and c).

1.4a Description and number of the recipients of the Plan who are executives with strategic responsibilities other than those indicated in letter b) of paragraph 1.3

There is 1 recipient who holds the role of executive with strategic responsibilities (the Chief Financial Officer and Manager responsible for preparing the company financial reports, as required by art. 154-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98).

1.4b Aggregate indication of Executives with strategic responsibilities in the case of "small sized" companies

Not applicable.

1.4c Any categories of employees or collaborators for whom different characteristics of the Plan are envisaged

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 purpose of the Plan is aligning the interests of management with the objectives of creating value for the Group and its shareholders over the medium to long term, to stimulate commitment to the achievement of common Group objectives and to encourage the employees holding "key" positions in the Group to continue working in their functions.

It is in the Board of Directors' opinion that, in relation to the purposes set out above, an incentive plan based on the conditional accrual of the right to receive shares for free over the medium to long term represents the most effective incentive instrument and one that best serving the interests of the Company and the Group, for the reasons set out below.

First of all, this is an incentive instrument involving a deferred compensation over a reasonable period of time, considering that the Plan involves a period (from the Grant Date) of two years before the Units start to accrue, a subsequent period of approximately three years of gradual accrual and finally a minimum holding period of five years (from the Grant Date) for one part of

the Shares granted. The incentive is therefore clearly aimed at stimulating the achievement of medium- and long-term objectives.

Moreover, the accrual of rights over the time period indicated, is conditional on the Beneficiaries remaining in the Group, strengthening the link between management personnel and the Company and the Group and favouring the consolidation of professional roles owning experience, which is one of the main strengths of a complex organisation such as Sogefi.

Finally, the consideration shall depend on value creation over the medium to long term as: (i) shares of the Company are granted and therefore the value shall depend on the value of the grant at the time of conversion of the Units and (ii) the accrual of rights is largely dependent not only on the expiry of the time limits but also on the achievement of value creation objectives, measured on the basis of the value of Sogefi shares and the economic and financial performance of the Group.

2.2 Key variables and performance indicators

The Plan includes three categories of Units: Time-based Units, whose accrual is only made subject to the Beneficiary remaining in the Group and to the expiry of the pre-established accrual terms, and type A and type B Performance Units whose accrual is not only made subject to the expiry of the time limits, but also to the achievement of performance objectives. In particular, with regard to performance objectives:

  • (i) the accrual of type A Performance Units depends on the stock performance of the Sogefi shares compared to the value of the shares of a basket of Benchmark Companies;
  • (ii) the accrual of type B Performance Units depends on the achievement of Economic and Financial Objectives defined by the Board of Directors on the basis of the approved business plans.

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

There are no compensation plans based on financial instruments not issued by the Company.

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 of the Consolidated annual report, 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 implementation of the Plan

It is envisaged that the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, in the event of approval of the Plan, shall grant the Board of Directors the widest possible powers to implement the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions described in the Information Document, and in particular, by way of example only, 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) draw up and approve the Plan Regulations and fulfil all obligations, formalities and communication requirements necessary or appropriate for the purpose of administering and/or implementing the Plan, with the power to delegate, in whole or in part, the aforesaid powers to one or more of its members.

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 26, 2021, 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 Board of Directors approved the proposed Plan and this Information Document, which describes the terms and conditions of the Plan, on the recommendation of the Appointment and Remuneration Committee, on March 19, 2021.

3.7 Date of the decision taken by the competent body on the allocation of the Units and any proposal made by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee

After the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting has voted on this Plan proposal, in the event of its approval, the Board of Directors shall proceed to implement the Plan, on the basis of the proposals made by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee in relation to the Regulations, to identify the Beneficiaries and the number and category of Units to be granted to each one of them. At present, the implementation date of the Plan is not available. This information shall be integrated in the terms provided for by art. 84 bis, paragraph 5, of the Rules for Issuers.

3.8 Market price of the Shares recorded on the dates referred to in paragraphs 3.6 and 3.7 above

On March 19, 2021, when the Board of Directors met to draw up the proposal for the Plan to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting, the official Stock Exchange price of Sogefi stock was € 1.40.

3.9 Methods adopted by the Company with regard to the possible coincidence in time between the grant date of the Units or any decisions on the subject by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee and the release of price sensitive information as per the terms of Art. 114, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/98

The Plan proposal was evaluated by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee and 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 2020, which are respectively subject to submittal to and approval by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, called to approve the Plan. The Shareholders' Meeting shall also be informed of the consolidated results for the first quarter of the current year, approved and communicated by the Board of Directors on the same date.

The Units shall be granted following a resolution of the Board of Directors taken after the Shareholders' Meeting which approved the Plan. That being specified, the release of price sensitive information at the time of the granting of the Units shall have no impact towards the Beneficiaries: as a matter of fact, at that time, the Beneficiaries will not be in the position to deal with the Shares due to the fact that the conversion of the Units will occur on a date which is past the granting.

4. Features of the granted instruments

4.1 Plan Structure

The Plan involves granting the Beneficiaries a maximum of 1,000,000 Units free of charge, each one giving the right to receive 1 Share free of charge, according to the terms and conditions set out in the Regulations.

4.4 Maximum number of Units that can be granted

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 (i) 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; (ii) accrued at any of the accrual dates shall be considered definitively accrued and shall not cease to

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 for the financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively. Following the approval of the Company's annual reports by the Shareholders' Meeting for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, the Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, shall review the achievement of the aforementioned objectives relating to the applicable period. 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. In the event of failure to achieve the Economic and Financial Objectives set for a given year, the Type B Performance Units made subject to the achievement of the aforesaid objectives for the concerned year, shall be considered definitively null and shall not entitled to get to accrual at any of the subsequent accrual dates.

The remaining significant terms and conditions of implementation of the Plan are explained in this Information Document.

4.6 Availability constraints on the Units

The right to exercise the Units granted is also made subject to the existence of the employment relationship between the Beneficiary and the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Plan involves a "minimum holding" commitment of the Shares granted: in the event of the Units got to accrual and the relative Shares being granted, each Beneficiary undertakes to hold a number of Shares at least corresponding to 10% of those granted continuously until the fifth anniversary from the Grant Date. During the above period, the Shares shall be subject to the inalienability requirement, except for exception authorised by the Board of Directors.

4.7 Possible Plan resolutive conditions in the event that the recipients carry out hedging operations that make it possible to neutralise any prohibitions on the sale of Units or shares Unregulated event.

In the event of termination of the employment relationship, for whatever reason, excluding the death of the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall only keep the right to hold the Units that have accrued at the moment of the termination of the relationship.

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.
