The meetings of the Committee are duly minuted.

c) Possible intervention of independent experts/consultants

In the preparation of the Policy no independent experts/consultants were involved.

d) Aims pursued with the Remuneration policy, principles underpinning it and any changes in the Remuneration policy from one year to the next

Remuneration policies are aimed at guaranteeing competitiveness in the labor market, in line with the objectives of growth and rewarding the loyalty of human resources, as well as using different instruments of Remuneration for different types of professionalism and competences.

The Policy is established according to criteria that can attract, hold and motivate individuals with adequate professional qualities to manage the Group effectively.

The Company aims to keep Remuneration aligned with market benchmarks, applying bonus Remuneration criteria in particular situations of merit.

The guidelines of the Policy for the year in progress are not substantially changed from the Policy of the previous year.

e) Description of the policies on the subject of fixed and variable remuneration with particular reference to an indication of their respective weighting in the overall Remuneration and distinguishing between the variable items in the short versus the medium/long-term

The Remuneration assigned to the Chairman of the Board of Director (as executive Director), to the non-executive Directors for being on one or more committees and to the Directors who are assigned certain specific duties by a resolution of the Board of Directors is established every year as a fixed amount on the basis of the commitment required of each of them.

The Remuneration package of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and of the Managers with strategic responsibilities is balanced and made up of fixed and variable monetary items. For the General Manager and the Managers with strategic responsibilities the remuneration is made up also by non-monetary items based on the shares of the Company; the aim being to promote commitment and ensure as far as possible active involvement in achieving the company targets.

The fixed part of said Remuneration – payable in cash – sufficiently covers the services of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and of the Managers with strategic responsibilities in case the variable part is not paid due to the failed achievement of the set performance targets.

The variable component is structured as follows:

● yearly bonus (to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and to the Managers with strategic responsibilities) as short-term incentive, payable in cash, connected to the achievement of yearly targets based mainly on Group's profitability and financial indexes, calculated according to the financial statements of the reference period;

● medium/long-term incentives (to the General Manager and to the Managers with strategic responsibilities) composed by Remuneration plans based on Sogefi shares.

The variable cash item (yearly bonus) is linked to the achievement of specific performance targets that are set in advance and measured in accordance with the value created for the Shareholders, based mainly on quantitative (income-related and financial) criteria. Said variable part is about 33% on total cash Remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, and about 29% for the Managers with strategic responsibilities.

The General Manager and the Managers with strategic responsibilities are also granted share-based Remuneration plans that are approved by the Shareholders Meeting and take into account the indications given in Art. 6 of the Code of Conduct, with a view to pursue the top-priority objective of creating value for the Shareholders in the medium/long term. In particular:

  • the Units that are the subject of the Plan vest every three months as from the second year and three months after the grant date and for a period of almost 2 years, thus having an average vesting period that is substantially in line with the one recommended in the Code of Conduct (three years);
  • exercise of a part of the units assigned (at least 50% of the total) is subject to reaching the share performance objectives;
  • a period of unavailability of part of the shares granted (10% of the total) is established for a period of 5 years from the grant date.

f) Policy followed in relation to non-monetary benefits

A company car shall be provided to the General Manager and to the Managers with strategic responsibilities, the use of which is optional.

g) In relation to variable items, a description of performance objectives on the basis of which the former are assigned, distinguishing between short and medium/long-term variable items, and information on the link between the change in results and the change in Remuneration

The variable cash item (yearly bonus) of remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and for the Managers with strategic responsibilities is linked to achievement of specific performance targets that are set in advance and measured in accordance with the value created for the Shareholders, based mainly on quantitative (income-related and financial) criteria.

The variable cash item shall be proportional to the degree of achievement of set targets.

For the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and for the Managers with strategic responsibilities it shall be paid as follows: 100% of the variable part if 100% of the reference targets are achieved; the provision could change from a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 150% depending on the achievement of the assigned targets.

Share-based Remuneration plans are one of the instruments used to supplement the Remuneration package with loyalty-rewarding benefits which are deferred over a set time frame, whereby part of the benefits are linked to the achievement of certain performance targets, the aim being to create value for the Shareholders in the medium/long term. More specifically, the 2019 Stock Grant Plan – submitted for approval of the Shareholders Meeting convened to approve, among other things, the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2018 – involves the granting of Units, that are free of charge and not transferable between living persons, each of which gives beneficiaries the right to be assigned, free of charge, one Share when certain circumstances become true. Units are divided into two categories:

  • Time-based Units, the vesting of which is subject to the employment lasting for a certain period;

  • Performance Units, in a quantity of at least 50% of the granted Units, the vesting of which is subject, not only to the employment lasting for a certain period, but also to the achievement of targets related to the Share performance on the Stock Exchange compared to the Sector Index (as defined in the Information Document of the 2019 Stock Grant Plan).

For a more detailed description of the features of 2019 Stock Grant Plan, see the Information Document prepared as per the terms of Art. 84-bis of the Rules for Issuers, made available to the Shareholders Meeting convened to approve the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2018, which can be consulted on the Company website www.sogefigroup.com (Investor – Shareholders' Meetings section).

h) Criteria used for assessment of the performance objectives on which the allocation of shares, options, other financial instruments or other variable items of Remuneration is based

Allocation of the yearly bonus based on performance targets is carried out through an assessment process evaluating the direct relationship between performance and the Group's strategies and financial and economic targets.

The yearly bonus allocated to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and to the Managers with strategic responsibilities is based on merely quantitative criteria (such as achievement of the budget targets in terms of economic and financial results).

Within the share-based Remuneration plans, the only condition for exercising the Time-based Units is the expiry of the set time limit, while for exercising the Performance Units another required condition is the achievement of share performance targets on the Stock Exchange referred to the comparison of the Sogefi Index with the Sector Index (as defined in the Information Document of the 2019 Stock Grant Plan). It is deemed suitable to assess the performance of Sogefi stock not in absolute terms, but with reference to the trend of the automotive components sector, in order to avoid, as much as possible accounting for general trends, which may not be connected to the Company's specific trend.

The number of Units assigned to each beneficiary is determined in relation to the role occupied by that individual in the Company and the importance of the function carried out by each of them.

i) Information which aims to show how the Remuneration policy is consistent with the pursuit of the long-term interests of the company and with the risk management policy, where it has been formalized

When defining the Remuneration systems, the Board of Directors ensured that these systems take into due account the pursuit of the medium/long-term targets in order to create value for the Shareholders.

For this purpose, the Remuneration variable cash item complies with the proportional criteria with respect to the results actually achieved, and is reduced or even cancelled if performance is below the yearly forecasts. The part based on financial instruments includes, as specified under g) above, two key elements: a time limit and the increase of the Sogefi stock value on the market compared to the Sector Index (as defined in the Information Document of the 2019 Stock Grant Plan).

The Board believes that the combination of the two elements (time limit and performance) is suitable to develop Plan's beneficiaries loyalty even in case the Company's share value does not increase compared to Sector Index (as defined in the Information Document of the 2019 Stock Grant Plan).

The continuation of the relationship with personnel is considered key, it is in itself a value for the Company and therefore also for its Shareholders. The incentive to better performance is ensured by the granting of Units the exercise of which is subject to reaching certain results in terms of value increase of the Sogefi stock in the market compared to the Sector Index (as defined in the Information Document of the 2019 Stock Grant Plan), which is a parameter that the Board considers appropriate to promote the alignment of the interests of management with those of the Shareholders in the medium/long term.

Then in both situations (Performance Units and Time-based Units), again, with a view to ensuring that the interests of management are aligned with those of the Shareholders over the medium/long term, there is also a deferred vesting period and a minimum holding requirement (see points j and k below).

j) The vesting period, the deferred payment systems, with an indication of the periods of deferment and the criteria used to determine these periods and, where applicable, ex post correction mechanisms

The yearly bonus acknowledges and rewards the results achieved and is thus an important motivational instrument.

The cash variable item of Remuneration (yearly bonus) shall be paid at once, (after the verification of the achievement of the performance requirements) to be carried out after the approval by the Shareholders meeting of the Financial statements to which the objectives refer and subject to the existence of an employment relationship with the company for the whole year.

Contractual agreements are foreseen that allow the Company to request the return, in whole or in part, of cash variable components of remuneration paid, if there are any objective circumstances from which it appears that the data used to verify the achievement of objectives are clearly erroneous.

As stated in the previous point e), 2019 Stock Grant Plan stipulates that the Units granted to the beneficiaries will vest as from two years and three months after they are assigned (i.e. the date of the resolution by which the Board of Directors shall identify the beneficiaries and determine the number of Units to be allocated to each of them), in instalments equal to 12.5% of its total, each one of them to accrue every quarter.

These periods of deferment give the beneficiaries a reasonable time frame in which to achieve the economic benefits of the Plan, in line with the Plan's objectives of rewarding loyalty and aligning the interests of management with those of the Shareholders (in the medium-long term) that the Plan aims to achieve.

k) Information on any clauses relating to holding financial instruments after their acquisition, with an indication of the holding periods and of the criteria used to determine such periods

2019 Stock Grant Plan, which will be submitted for the approval of the Shareholders Meeting, includes a minimum holding requirement for the Shares assigned: in the event that the Units have vested and the relative Shares have been assigned, each beneficiary irrevocably undertakes to hold at least 10% of the Shares assigned until the fifth anniversary of the grant date. During this period, the Shares will be subject to a bond of inalienability, except where the Board of Directors should authorise otherwise.

l) Policy in relation to what payout is applicable when the position or the employment terminates, specifying which circumstances give rise to the right to such payout and any relationship between the said payout and the performance of the Company

Except where application of the law requires otherwise, no sum is payable when the mandate of Directors terminates.

Regarding the General Manager and the other Managers with strategic responsibilities, bound to the Company by an employment relationship, the law provisions and the agreements of the reference National Labour Contract apply on the subject of termination of employment.

For the General Manager and the other Managers with strategic responsibilities a non-competition clause is provided according to which the manager undertakes not to carry out competing activities for one year, extendable for a further year, starting from the moment the working activity stops. In light of this commitment, the Company recognizes a monthly allowance equal to 5/10 of the gross salary calculated on the basis of the average of the previous twelve months. The Company may unilaterally wave the pact of non- competitive releasing itself from paying the estimated amount.

m) Information on the presence of possible insurance cover, i.e. pension schemes other than those that are obligatory

In line with best practices, an insurance policy (Directors & Officers) has been taken out against third-party liability for the various corporate Bodies and the Managers in the exercise of their functions, with the aim of protecting the Group from the risk of having to pay damages, except for cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.

n) Remuneration policy followed where applicable in relation to: (i) independent directorships, (ii) committee membership and (iii) special positions (chairman, deputy chairman etc.)

Further to the remuneration approved for each member of the Board of Directors upon appointment with resolution of the Shareholders Meeting, the Independent Directors shall be granted a further compensation if they are on any of the internal committees.

Directors holding special positions (the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer) and the Directors who are assigned certain specific duties by a resolution of the Board of Director benefit from the remuneration described in the previous paragraphs.

o) If the Remuneration policy has been defined using the Remuneration policies of other companies as a reference, the criteria used for the choice of any such companies

The Remuneration Policy was prepared without any specific reference to the policies of other companies. In fact it is considered that the Policy is consistent both with the objectives of the Group and with the typical characteristics of the same, in terms of business carried out and size.

SECTION II

Part One

1.1 Items making up Remuneration

Board of Directors

In 2018 the remuneration of the Directors consisted of a fixed part determined on their appointment by the Shareholders Meeting on April 27, 2016, for the whole duration of their mandate.

The Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in the fulfillment of their duties.

Directors holding special positions

The Chairman received a further fixed item of remuneration.

The Chief Executive Officer was granted a yearly fixed remuneration, as well as, a variable bonus and, as General Manager, besides a yearly fixed remuneration and a variable bonus, a remuneration plan based on Company shares, too.

Non-executive Directors

Non-executive Directors received a fee if they are on any of the Internal Committees.

Board of Statutory Auditors

The fee was determined as a fixed sum by the Shareholders Meeting on April 23, 2018 on their appointment and for the whole duration of their mandate. The fee for the Chairman is different from that of the other Statutory Auditors.

Managers with strategic responsibilities

The remuneration package of the Manager with strategic responsibilities is made up of: fixed fee, variable bonus and rights deriving from the participation to a remuneration plan based on shares of the company.

1.2 With particular reference to agreements involving allowance in the event of the early termination of the relationship, the following information applies:

1.2.1 Existence of such agreements

No agreements have been entered into involving any allowance to Directors in the

event of early termination of the relationship.

The General Manager and the other Managers with strategic responsibilities receive allowance in the event of their employment relationship being terminated without a just cause or without any good reason given by the employer, in accordance with the law provisions and the reference National Labor Contract.

1.2.2 Criteria for determining the allowance entitlement of each individual

The General Manager and the other Managers with strategic responsibilities are entitled to allowance in the cases envisaged by the law provisions and the reference National Labor Contract.

1.2.3 Presence of any performance criteria to which the allowance is subject There are no performance objectives connected with the allowance.

1.2.4 Effects of the termination of the relationship on the Units assigned within the scope of the share-based incentive plans or cash payouts

The Units granted under the 2018 Stock Grant Plans have been assigned to the Beneficiaries personally and cannot be transferred on any account by deed between living persons. The right to exercise the Units is also subject to the employment relationship continuing between the beneficiary and the Company or the subsidiary of the same.

In the event of the termination of the employment relationship, for whatever reason, excluding the death of the beneficiary, the 2018 Stock Grant Plan provides that the beneficiaries will still be entitled only to the Units that had already vested when the relationship terminated.

In case of death of the Beneficiary, the Heirs thereof may require the assignment 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.

1.2.5 Cases in which the right to allowance exists

See point 1.2.1 above.

1.2.6 The existence, where applicable, of agreements involving the granting or the maintenance of non-monetary benefits in favor of individuals who no longer hold the position or have signed a consulting contract for a period following the termination of their employment relationship

No agreements of this kind have been signed.

In the event of termination of the employment relationship for whatever reason, excluding the death of the beneficiary, the 2018 Stock Grant Plan provides that the beneficiaries are still entitled to the Units that had already vested at the time of the termination of the relationship.

The Board of Directors, at its own discretion, has the right to finally decide whether to derogate from the above – with reference to one or more beneficiaries for example keeping the rights (in whole or in part) resulting from the plan even when these rights would cease to exist, and in particular to keep (part or all) of the Units that have not yet vested or to grant of shares (part or all) even in absence of the related conditions.

1.2.7 The existence, where applicable, of agreements providing for Remuneration for non-competition commitments

For the General Manager and the other Managers with strategic responsibilities a non-competition clause is provided according to which the manager undertakes not to carry out competing activities for one year, extendable for a further year, starting from the moment in which the working activity stops. In light of this commitment, the Company recognizes a monthly allowance equal to 5/10 of the gross salary calculated on the basis of the average of the previous twelve months. The Company may unilaterally wave the pact of non- competitive releasing itself from paying the estimated amount.

1.2.8 With reference to directors who left their positions during the year, any changes in the determination of the allowance compared to the terms of the agreement on the same Not applicable.

1.2.9 Where there are no specific agreements on the subject, specific information on the criteria used to determine the leaving indemnity accrued During the year 2018 no leaving indemnity was paid out to Directors, to General Manager and other Managers with strategic responsibilities.
