INTRODUCTION
1. TECHNOPROBE: HUMAN RESOURCES
Technoprobe's attention to people is an integral part of the company DNA: they, in fact, represent the core asset of the Company, thanks to the portfolio of skills, creativity and aptitudes that can be applied to the various operational areas.
Valuing these skills, also through adequate remuneration, means bringing added value to the
«There is no innovation, growth or development that does not start from attention and a sense of responsibility towards the protagonists of every company story: the people». Giuseppe Crippa (founder of Technoprobe)
company, establishing long-lasting and transparent relationships with its collaborators.
Principles such as the valorisation of staff, with attention to each individual's specific skills, the well-being and dignity of the person as well as the protection of less represented genders are cornerstones of Technoprobe's human resources management policies.
These principles, duly translated into writing in the corporate code of conduct as well as in the Board of directors and board of statutory auditors' diversity Policy2 , are reflected, on the one hand, in adequate remuneration, on the other, in important corporate welfare objectives, in policies of incentives for smart-working, in (non-mandatory) training hours provided, on the other hand, in the development of material topics, such as diversity, inclusion and well-being of employees, the internal development of talents and the promotion of health and safety at work.
Established in 1996, Technoprobe has experienced over the years, and especially since 2010, a notable increase in the company population (as highlighted in the following graph) and has developed a strong ability to attract and retain staff.

2 Approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2024 after approval by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee on 20 February 2024 and after verify of the Control and Risk Committee.


Furthermore, Technoprobe controls, directly or indirectly, 14 companies with registered and operational headquarters located in foreign countries (from the United States to China, from Taiwan to Germany); the total staff employed in foreign offices as of 31 December 2023 is equal to 1156 and thus the overall company population is equal to 2869 (including temporary contracts).
2. OVERVIEW ON PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND COORDINATION WITH SUSTAINABILITY POLICIES
2.1 Youth policies and internal talent development
Talent development is the best prospect for growth and generation of long-term value, which is decisive for the future of a company.
The constant search for personnel has led Technoprobe to prefer hiring policies aimed at young people: young resources, in fact, satisfy the growing need for technical skills, tend to be more flexible and innovative, inclined towards training, updating and digitalisation.
It should also be underlined that, with a view to contributing to collective social change, hiring young talents and providing adequate remuneration scales contributes to reducing the gap in access to employment equity and remuneration ratios.
The company workforce is in fact made up of 41% of people under the age of 30, a percentage that has grown significantly compared to 2020 when young people represented 33%. While employees in the age group between 30 and 50 years went from 54% in 2021, to 46% in 2022 and to 39% in 2023.
2.2 Non-mandatory training
For a company operating in frontier technology, the continuous growth, learning and updating of its workers is vital to maintaining a very high standard of skills. This applies both to the world of research and development, to the entire Technology area, and to all Manufacturing and production operators.
Training is also a motivational means to make everyone in Technoprobe feel involved in the challenges that the market and technology pose every day; for this reason, staff training has been divided into different phases and areas:
- first induction phase for new hires;
- specific training plan on the single task broken down for the various functions;
- methodological training for more efficient process control;
- inter-functional knowledge training, to encourage the sharing of skills between the various functions.
There are various training activities that are carried out in Technoprobe (in addition to those required by law), and are linked to the correct management of work processes and their compliance with regulatory obligations on other issues: Confidentiality, Behavior in production, ESD ( Electro Static Discharge) and Organization Introduction.
The other training initiatives offered to employees are:
INTERNAL TRAINING ON THE JOB. Internal knowledge sharing is an important and ongoing activity in the company. Supporting the growth of skills and

methodologies guarantees a high and homogeneous standard of knowledge in all sectors and departments. It lasts between 3 and 6 months.
- EXTERNAL METHODOLOGICAL TRAINING. Operating in a frontier technological field, Technoprobe often needs to create processes from scratch and standardize methodologies. For this reason we chose to adopt courses for 6 Sigma (Green Belt, Yellow Belt), Lean and Project Management certifications.
- SOFT SKILLS. In a fast and constantly growing company, learning social and interpersonal skills is as important as that of technical skills, for the purpose of good performance and cohesion of work teams. Management courses involving Low, Middle and High Management are regularly held at Technoprobe.
- ENGLISH COURSES Technoprobe is a multinational company that operates on the global market; for this reason, group English courses are organized in Italy with staff from across the various functions. The training has a total duration of 60 hours in person with the teacher and 30 hours self-paced through an online platform.
- ACADEMY EXTERNAL IN THE SELECTION PATH. In collaboration with a personnel research, selection and training company, Technoprobe has launched the project of an Academy that offers candidates a 40-hour training course on the main tasks of the production departments in specific laboratory spaces set up externally to the company . The training activity is carried out in parallel with the selection activity and allows candidates to arrive at the practical test phases with greater specific professional knowledge.
2.3 Health and safety
The health and safety culture is shared at all levels and involves the total involvement of the company organization, from top management to employees.
All activities relating to the management of company health and safety are supported by constant training, information and training activities, which has resulted in a continuously increasing number of hours of training provided over the years. Mandatory training on health and safety is provided in accordance with the applicable regulations and the relevant agreement between the State and the Regions.
Furthermore, among the most significant indicators in the field of health and safety, Technoprobe monitors the progress of events (accidents, medications, near misses), with the aim of analyzing the causes that determined them and introducing continuous improvement actions to avoid repetition.
The measures implemented by Technoprobe to guarantee the health and safety of workers in the workplace have led to a progressive decrease in the rate of employee accidents despite the constant increase in staff.
2.4 Smart working
Following the recent health emergency due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the Company confirmed the work organization based on smart working for an indefinite period. This strategy promoted the well-being of employees both inside and outside the office, enhancing the ability to attract new talent, retain current talent and stimulate a sense of belonging.

3. OVERVIEW ON THE REMUNERATION POLICIES OF THE ENTIRE COMPANY POPULATION AND COORDINATION WITH ESG POLICIES
3.1 Components of remuneration
The entire company population benefits from both the fixed component and the shortterm variable component of remuneration.
The variable remuneration and the fixed annual component are modulated differently in relation to the role, the responsibilities attributed and the skills.
In particular, the remuneration criteria applied to the fixed component of the staff are made up of proportional tools and logics and are based on the principles of fairness, equal opportunities, meritocracy and competitiveness.
Instead, with regard to the recognition of the short-term variable component, the Company distinguishes between staff with MBO and staff without MBO.
In relation to the former (staff with MBO), the CEO, assisted by the HR Manager, establishes the result objectives of his first reports every year, who distribute said objectives among the MBO personnel within the respective company functions.
In determining these result objectives, the Company examines, with maximum objectivity, the organizational and professional behavior of each person in light of the role held and the responsibilities attributed.
The aims are to (i) direct performance towards company objectives and professional behavior towards a corporate organizational culture based on results and merit, (ii) consolidate strengths and intervene on areas for improvement, (iii) develop the sense of belonging and identification in the company mission, collect feedback.
In relation to the latter (staff without MBO), the recognition of a performance bonus is envisaged, variable based on economic performance, agreed between the Company, the Unitary Trade Union Representation in the company and the most representative workers' trade union associations.
3.2 ESG objectives
With the 2024 financial year, Technoprobe introduces ESG targets for the recognition of a part of the short-term variable component of remuneration.
The objective of respecting people and the environment and integrating sustainability factors into every corporate choice has underpinned the strategic vision and commitment of the Company since its establishment.
These principles today begin to be expressed in an action plan, with deadlines and objectives to be achieved, as part of a cultural development path of maturity that involves the entire organization, at all levels, from managers to employees, from customers to suppliers and all other stakeholders of the Company.
Most of the actions are part of projects relating to specific company functions and mainly involve the Manufacturing area, in a process of increasing responsibility for the consumption of both materials and semi-components (in terms of optimization and yield) and energy sources.
But above all, although relevant here, there is a process of introducing ESG issues and factors into the remuneration and incentive systems of the management team and employees.

The priority aim that the Company must aim for is to definitively and systematically integrate the theme of sustainability into business decisions and, as far as this is concerned, enrich the ESG target indicators to which short and long-term variable remuneration can be linked term of the company management in order to increase involvement in sustainability issues.
3.3 Corporate welfare
Each Technoprobe collaborator can take advantage of a structured corporate welfare plan, through the possibility of converting all or part of their performance bonus into various services available on the digital platform, thus benefiting from complete tax relief. The company also offers a 30% on-top increase on the portion spent on the platform.
To underline how much the welfare platform is continuing to enjoy great success in the company, it should be noted that in 2023, 919,580 Euros were used (a clear increase compared to 2022, 696,657 Euros, and 2021, 378,336 Euros) divided as follows:
- Euro 209,102 paid to the pension fund;
- Euro 126,359 for requests for reimbursement of expenses;
- Euro 584,119 for voucher requests.
Among the services offered, workers have the possibility to choose between vouchers for babysitters, purchase of textbooks for schools, gym memberships, travel vouchers, reimbursement of education and canteen expenses or to set aside the bonus for social security funds. The project is enjoying growing success and the company plans further communication initiatives to further increase membership in the coming years.
In addition to the services present on the digital platform, Technoprobe has activated a series of services to support welfare, such as the stipulation of agreements with sports facilities, gyms, osteopath services and with the local tire dealer for seasonal tire changes.
All Technoprobe staff are given the opportunity to receive personal shipments at the company.
Employees can also take advantage of subsidized current accounts with the Intesa Sanpaolo banking institution.
The company has promoted a theatrical campaign for years at the Cernusco Lombardone theatre, which saw the programming of shows from the Milanese theater scene and the participation of actors of national importance.
Other welfare initiatives:
- BABY BONUS In 2021, the company offered all employees who became parents during the year the opportunity to take advantage of a baby bonus with an economic value of Euro 1,000, thus budgeting the amount of Euro 22,000 in bonuses for new parents. The initiative was also continued in 2022, through the distribution of 33 baby bonuses. And in 2023, with the awarding of 34 baby bonuses.
- FREE CONSULTANCY IN THE COMPANY. A particularly appreciated initiative is the possibility that Technoprobe offers its employees to benefit from free help desks with a tax advisor and a legal advisor. Employees therefore have the opportunity to benefit from free advice on completing their tax return and a legal consultancy service for any need and information in this area. In 2023, the initiative led 320 people to join the tax consultancy project for completing the 730 and 80 to join the consultancy service with a lawyer.

FLU VACCINATION FOR EMPLOYEES. In line with the policies adopted by Technoprobe to promote the health of its employees, the company has made a free flu vaccination service available since 2019, which has led to the administration of 180 flu vaccines in 2023. The objective of the company is to protect individual health, minimize any risk of contagion and ensure the continuation of production activities.

As already anticipated in the Introduction to this Report, and in particular in Chapter 2 - Overview of personnel management policies and coordination with sustainability policies (the indications of which are also intended to be reported here for the purposes of letter c) of Scheme 7 -bis Attachment 3A RE), Technoprobe, in defining the Policy, takes into strong consideration the compensation and working conditions of its employees, considering that the Company's purpose is to encourage the constant development of its resources and create sustainable value.
Therefore, through the maximum valorization of professional skills and the recognition of individual merits, the Company's remuneration policy intends to ensure competitive levels on the market, in full compliance with the fundamental principles of equal opportunities, equality and non-discrimination.
For these purposes, Technoprobe, as mentioned above, uses multiple tools aimed at creating motivation and loyalty among its people, such as:
- promote actions and behaviors that are an expression of the company culture, in compliance with the principles of plurality, equal opportunities, valorisation of people's knowledge and professionalism, fairness and non-discrimination envisaged by the company code of conduct;
- recognize the responsibilities attributed, the results achieved and the quality of the professional contribution made, taking into account the context and market references applicable for similar positions or for roles of similar level in terms of responsibility and complexity as well as the experience and professional path of the person individual;

- define the remuneration of all the Company's employees in compliance with the remuneration parameters set out in the relevant National Collective Agreement applicable from time to time (the "CCNL").
Therefore, reference is made to the activities and initiatives already described in Chapter 2 of this Report, in terms of youth policies and talent development, non-compulsory training, and health and safety activities.
It is further specified here that Technoprobe, recognizing the value of agile and hybrid working, has definitively confirmed the smart working tool in its organizational structure,

preserving a work experience that places the employee at the centre of attention and guarantees sustainable growth for the company. And yet the Company continues the process of increasing the square meters. corporate, on the one hand, for the purpose of expanding production, on the other, also increasing the square meters of management surface (for example, with the inauguration of the Vimercate offices) and thus guaranteeing its staff functional spaces in the company, comfortable and sufficient to accommodate the entire administrative population.
7. INDEPENDENT EXPERTS
(Scheme 7-bis Annex 3A RE – letter d) the name of any independent experts involved in the preparation of the remuneration policy.)
The drafting of the 2024 Policy was carried out by the internal company functions.

8.1 Purpose and principles
Policy 2024 represents the fundamental tool to support medium and long-term strategies and was inspired by the objective of creating value over time, attracting, motivating and retaining people, creating a sense of identity and developing a culture linked to merit and performance.
The remuneration policies described here represent a fundamental tool to promote, on the one hand, the integrity of corporate governance mechanisms and, on the other, the creation of sustainable value for shareholders and, more generally, for all relevant stakeholders of the Technoprobe Group.
Technoprobe's remuneration policy has, therefore, the main objective of attracting to the governance of its company - and, consequently, retaining and motivating - people endowed with those personal and professional qualities considered essential to successfully manage the business activity of the company, favouring an alignment of management interests with the expectations of the Company's shareholders in the medium to long term.
In summary, Technoprobe's remuneration policy has the following objectives:
(i) attract, motivate and retain the best professional skills to fill the most strategic managerial roles;

- (ii) align the interests of shareholders and management;
- (iii) promote compliance with the law and regulations and discourage any conduct not based on compliance with criteria of correctness in working relationships or which may lead to conflicts of interest or exposure to reputational risks;

- (v) orient the remuneration policy towards company results, including medium-long term ones;
- (vi) align remuneration policies with current market best practices;
- (vii) guarantee gender neutrality of staff and, therefore, ensure, for the same activity carried out, that staff have an equal level of remuneration, also in terms of conditions for their recognition and payment;
- (viii)increase the degree of transparency towards shareholders, customers, employees and Supervisory Authorities.

The Company's shares are admitted to trading on the Euronext Milan market starting from 2 May 2023; therefore, this is the first report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid adopted by the Company pursuant to art. 123-ter of the TUF.
Therefore, it is not possible to report, on the one hand, changes with respect to the previous remuneration policies submitted to the meeting, and on the other, revisions resulting from votes and assessments expressed by the shareholders on previous remuneration policies.
8.3 Subjects affected by the 2024 Policy
In accordance with the art. 123-ter TUF, the first section of this report must illustrate in a clear and understandable way the remuneration policy of the members of the administrative bodies, general managers and managers with strategic responsibilities with reference at least to the following financial year and, without prejudice to what provided for by article 2402 of the Civil Code, of the members of the control bodies.

9.1 Components of remuneration
For the best pursuit of the principles and purposes described above, the 2024 Policy provides that the compensation of the CEO and the DiRS are determined on the basis of the following components:

- (i) a fixed annual component or Basic Annual Salary (RBA), commensurate with the position and commitment required; the fixed component is determined on the basis of the complexity of the position, the professional seniority, the skills required of the individual to act in the role, the performance achieved over time as well as the performance of the comparative salary market relating to the position held by the individual; it is hardly necessary to specify that a part of the annual fixed component (in the amount of 15/20%) is to be attributed to specific non-competition agreements, stipulated only with the DiRS, with the aim of protecting the company's technological know-how and the intellectual property of the Company; in the Policy, the amount relating to the non-competition agreement is considered together with the fixed component of the remuneration;
- (ii) an annual or short-term variable component ("Short Term Incentive" or "STI"), parametrized to the Company's economic performance and ESG parameters;
- (iii) a long-term component ("Long Term Incentive" or "LTI"), which provides for the assignment of restricted shares on condition that the relationship between the beneficiaries and the company is still in existence at the end of the three-year vesting period, at in order to guarantee the alignment of interests between management and shareholders as well as to pursue the retention and attraction of key roles for the implementation of the strategic plan (Restricted Shares Plan 2024/2026).
It is just necessary to specify that the shareholders' meeting, called for the approval of this Report, is also called for the proposal to approve the 2024/2026 Restricted Shares Plan pursuant to art. 114-bis of Legislative Decree 24 February 1998 n. 58, better described below.
This 2024 Policy describes the remuneration of the CEO and the DiRS, beneficiaries of the 2024/2026 Restricted Shares Plan in question, also taking into consideration the plan itself in the description of the remuneration (although not yet approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on the date of approval of this Report by the Board of Directors).
With reference to the control of the objectives, the Human Resources management, with the help of the CFO, proceeds, at the end of the financial year and on the basis of the final performances, to verify the level of achievement of the objectives and reports the final balance to the Committee on an annual basis Appointments and Remuneration.
Finally, it is specified that in the event of extraordinary operations that affect the Group's perimeter and/or profound changes in the macroeconomic and geopolitical scenario, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee evaluates the possible adjustment of the targets covered by the STI, in order to protect the value and the purposes of the variable components of remuneration and thus guarantee constant alignment between company objectives and the objectives underlying management incentive systems as well as a possible early closure of short and long-term incentives.
9.3 Non-monetary benefits
The 2024 Policy also provides for the recognition of non-monetary benefits consisting of the following fringe benefits to the CEO and the DiRS:
-
limited to DiRS, the assignment of telephone, computer and company vehicle;
-

the Directors, insurance protection in relation to the position held on the Board of Directors ("D&O Insurance");
There are no agreements relating to the termination of the relationship either with members of the Board of Directors or the Board of Statutory Auditors or with DiRS.
PURPOSE OF THE POLICY AND COMPONENTS OF THE REMUNERATION
o pursue the long-term interests and sustainable success of Technoprobe, understood as the creation of long-term value for the benefit of shareholders, taking into account the interests of other stakeholders relevant to the company;
o attract, retain and motivate people with the competence and professionalism required for the role held in the company.
| PURPOSE | OPERATING MODE | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| FIXED COMPONENT | Enhances the skills, experiences and contribution required by the assigned role. |
The fixed remuneration is defined in such a way as to be consistent with the characteristics, responsibilities and any delegations associated with the role. The company monitors the main market practices for comparable figures on an annual basis in order to guarantee the consistency and competitiveness of the remuneration offered to its top management roles. |
|
| ANNUAL VARIABLE COMPONENT (MBO) |
Promotes the achievement of annual objectives. |
The payment of the annual variable component is directly linked to the achievement of the Company's economic performance objectives and ESG objectives. |
|
| LONG-TERM COMPONENT | Guarantee the alignment of interests between management and shareholders as well as pursue the retention and attraction of key roles for the implementation of the strategic plan. |
The plan provides for the assignment of 3 cycles of restricted shares. Each cycle has a 3-year vesting period at the end of which the restricted shares are assigned, provided that the relationship between the beneficiary and the company is still in place. Once assigned, 50% of the restricted shares will be subject to a 24-month lock-up, net of the shares necessary to cover tax liabilities. The plan includes a claw-back clause. |
|
| NON-MONETARY BENEFITS | Promotes the loyalty of managerial resources. |
Benefits mainly insurance and welfare in line with those defined by the CCNL and the company supplementary agreements for the DiRS. |
9.3 Market benchmarks
The performance objectives for the recognition of the STI have been modulated in such a way as to entail, at the target of the objectives themselves, and together with the LTI component, a remuneration in line with the relevant market benchmarks.
In particular, the analysis of the positioning, composition and, more generally, of the competitiveness of the remuneration of the CEO and the DiRS is conducted by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors with the help of a company specialized in executive compensation, based on methodological approaches that allow us to fully evaluate, albeit within the limits typical of benchmark

analyses, the complexity of the roles from an organizational point of view, of any specific delegated attributions as well as the impact of the individual on the final business results.
In relation to the comparison market, in defining the panel of reference companies, various components were taken into account, such as the sector, geography, specifics of the business and company size.
The sample of reference companies used for the competitiveness analysis and for the possible revision of the remuneration of the CEO and the DiRS was defined with the help of WTW also taking into account the main recommendations regarding pay for performance.
9.4 Proportions between remuneration components
The remuneration policy of the CEO and the DiRS is adequately balanced in order to ensure consistency between short-term development objectives and the sustainability of value creation in the medium-long term.
As better specified below, the remuneration structure of the CEO and the DiRS is made up, in particular, of the following components:
- (i) fixed annual remuneration,
- (ii) short-term annual variable remuneration (STI) paid with the MBO system,
- (iii) long-term remuneration (LTI) paid through the 2024/2026 Restricted Shares Plan;
- (iv) in addition to non-monetary benefits, which are only available to DiRS.
The variable remuneration and the annual fixed component are modulated differently in relation to the characteristics of the role held in the company and the responsibilities attributed as well as having regard to the characteristics of the Company and the market in which it operates, without prejudice to the fact that the fixed component however maintains a significant proportion, in order to ensure the dignity and the proportionality of the remuneration in any case.
And in any case, if we consider the overall impact of the variable part (both short-term and long-term) on the fixed remuneration, it is considered appropriate to highlight that the Company's remuneration policy is aimed at incentivising the CEO and the DiRS to achieve results increasingly challenging, through an incentive mechanism which provides, in the STI component, significant growth for results above the set target.
The variable part of the remuneration is, therefore, determined in such a way as to:
- (i) take into account the requirement according to which a significant part of the remuneration of the CEO and the DiRS must be linked to the economic and sustainability results achieved by the Issuer;
- (ii) ensure the alignment of the interests of the CEO and the DiRS with the pursuit of the priority objective of creating value for the Company and for the shareholders, also taking into account the interests of the other main stakeholders, over a medium-long term horizon;
- (iii) retain and motivate people with the qualities required to successfully manage the Company, also through the provision of retention conditions.
As indicated above, the variable component of the remuneration includes a short-term component ("STI") and a long-term component ("LTI"). Below is a detailed description of the functioning of each incentive system.
9.5 CEO and DiRS: Short Term Incentive - Management By Objectives ("MBO")
As mentioned several times above, the annual variable component of the remuneration of the CEO and the DiRS is connected to the achievement of performance objectives


In particular, the current MBO system has the following characteristics:
- as regards the criteria for determining the weight of each type of objective as well as the progression system between under-performance, target and overperformance, the on/off conditions and/or access thresholds, the objectives of the the Company's industrial plan, the strategic operations carried out as well as the market objectives set;
- the system provides for the provision of a variable compensation in monetary form (so-called cash bonus);
- the amount payable is defined through the predetermination of the overall target amount and therefore with the attribution of specific weights to each objective and on the basis of a progression system linked to the performance achieved;
- the objectives are
- (i) of the company's economic performance weight of 90%;
- (ii) ESG 10% weight;
- with reference to economic performance objectives,
(i) the objectives are to be referred to the consolidated results of the Company as shown in the consolidated financial statements;
(ii) consist of turnover and Ebitda Margin;
(iii) the components of the bonus are differentiated based on the markets in which the Company operates (ProbeCard Market and Final Test Market) with the attribution of different percentage weights; in particular:
- o the Probe Card Market has a weight of 75%
- o the Final Test Market has a weight of 25%
all on the 90% share of the overall annual variable component reserved for economic objectives;
(iv) the bonus actually due is calculated on the basis of a linear progression system taking into account the actual performance achieved compared to the target performance and with entry thresholds;
(v) the bonus recognition criteria for cases of under-performance and overperformance vary based on the reference markets; it is specified that the case of underperformance is paid up to a maximum of 20%;
- with reference to the ESG objectives, the 2024 Policy envisages the pursuit of a single complex objective composed of several phases; therefore, the relative economic recognition is subordinated to the achievement of said objective tout court;
- in extreme summary, three different objectives are envisaged:
-
- economic performance objectives of the Probe Card Market;
-
- economic performance objectives of the Final Test Market;
-
- ESG objectives;
-
- the bonus is paid upon approval of the consolidated financial statements by the Board of Directors;
- the recognition of the bonus is subject to the continuation of the relationship at the time of disbursement, in order to obtain the maximum retention result.

9.5-a Basis of calculation and weight of each type of objective
As specified above, each type of objective has its own percentage weight on the overall share of the short-term variable component; in particular, the economic performance objectives unlock 90% of the STI component while the ESG objectives unlock 10% of the same STI component.
Furthermore, the economic objectives relating to the Probe Card Market unlock 75% of the STI component part while the Final Test Market objectives unlock 25% of the aforementioned share.
All according to the following scheme.

The application criterion for each type of objective of the STI system is indicated below.
9.5-b Economic objectives of the Probe Card Market and the Final Test Market: calculation criteria
The predetermined target amount of each beneficiary, both relating to the Probe Card Market and the Final Test Market (as resulting from the application of the percentage weights indicated above), is subjected to some linear progression criteria defined on the basis of brackets related to Revenue and Ebitda Margin.
In particular, the share of the target amount relating to the reference market is first multiplied by a certain coefficient, based on the revenue bracket actually achieved; then it is multiplied by another coefficient, based on the Ebitda Margin bracket actually achieved.
Said brackets, both in terms of turnover and Ebitda Margin, were determined based on the forecasts of the Company's strategic industrial plan, approved by resolution of the Board of Directors on 26 January 2024.
The application of the aforementioned criteria determines the amount of STI to be paid to the relevant beneficiary.
9.5-c ESG objectives
As specified above, the ESG objective has a weight of 10% on the entire annual variable component.
It is identified through a single complex objective composed of various phases and, in particular, consisting of the following.


˃ EVALUATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS ON THE PERFORMANCE, RESULTS AND SITUATION OF THE COMPANY OUTSIDE – IN;
˃ FINANCIAL MATERIALITY: ASSESSMENT OF THE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES DERIVING FROM THE MANAGEMENT OF A SPECIFIC ESG ISSUE AND THE IMPACT THAT THESE COULD HAVE ON ITS ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE;
˃ MANAGEMENT OF ESG RISKS BROKEN DOWN ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT RISK FAMILIES, WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS;
˃ SCENARIO ANALYSIS (CLIMATE SCENARIO ANALYSIS) AIMED AT EVALUATING THE IMPACTS OF THESE RISKS IN THE SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM;
˃ THE DEFINITION OF SPECIFIC LIMITS AND KEY RISK INDICATORS (KRI) WITHIN THE RISK APPETITE FRAMEWORK (RAF)
In carrying out the aforementioned ESG Risk Assessment (which can also be carried out with the help of third-party and independent experts), the material topics envisaged by EU Directive 2022/2464 so-called CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) must be explored in depth on the basis of the principle of double materiality.
In particular, the correct and credible approach on the topic in question is the risk based one: only through
- (i) a preliminary identification of the risks that the company will face in carrying out its business activities, and
- (ii) identifying the opportunities that ESG risks offer,
the best pursuit of sustainability issues can be guaranteed.
The performance of the ESG Risk Assessment is instrumental and functional to the pursuit of the further objective in question here.
OBJECTIVE 2 SUSTAINABILITY PLAN APPROVAL
IN RELATION TO THE OUTCOMES DERIVING FROM THE MATERIALITY ANALYSIS, DEFINITION OF THE CORPORATE STRATEGY AIMED AT PURSUING SUSTAINABILITY RESULTS AND THE INTEGRATION OF ESG FACTORS IN CORPORATE AND BUSINESS CHOICES, DEFINING MEDIUM AND LONG-TERM METRICS AND OBJECTIVES IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT DICTATED BY ESRS STANDARDS
The Company's Sustainability Plan (the "Plan") will be approved by the Board of Directors, following the preliminary investigation activity of the competent committee, in compliance with the exclusive competences of the administrative body as established in article 6 of the Board Regulations of Administration.
The Plan will have to transform the results of the ESG Risk Assessment into concrete actions, identifying short, medium and long-term targets, organizational responsibilities and any related budgets.
In particular, the Sustainability Plan must:
- confirm the Company's commitment to sustainable development and to the integration of environmental and social responsibility into the business model;
- be in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda;
- envisage concrete actions aimed at mitigating climate change, through the definition of targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions produced, in relation to community objectives and increasing the share of energy supplied from renewable sources.


The objectives in question respond to the need to start the cultural and operational path on sustainability issues, even more so with the advent of the EU Directive 2022/2464 socalled CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) in force starting from the 2024 financial year.
ESG risk verification activities and the adoption of specific objectives with the approval of a sustainability plan are the most conscious way to effectively address the metrics of the ESG indicators, their monitoring and their control as well as to be able to introduce them in remuneration systems and be able to verify the achievement of targets.
9.6 Long Term Incentives
The Board of Directors of March 14, 2024 has approved an incentive plan called "Restricted Shares Plan 2024/2026" (so-called Restricted Shares Plan), which is submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting of April 24, 2024.
The Plan is aimed at the CEO, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities and any further beneficiaries identified by the Board of Directors based on the criticality of the role held in relation to the implementation of the strategic plan.
Specifically, the Restricted Shares Plan consists in the assignment of the right to receive a predetermined number of company shares conditional on the continuation of the management and/or employment relationship with the company, with a view to guaranteeing the alignment of interests between management and shareholders, as well as to pursue the retention and attraction of key roles for the implementation of the strategic plan.
The plan is divided into three cycles of annual assignments, each of which is structured with a three-year vesting period and a further two-year lock-up period for a share of shares equal to 50% of those accrued, net of the necessary shares to cover tax liabilities (so-called sell to cover).
| RESTRICTED SHARE PLAN 2024/2026 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | |
| CYCLE I 2024/2026 |
VESTING PERIOD VESTING PERIOD |
LOCK-UP PERIOD | |||||
| II CYCLE 2024/2026 |
LOCK-UP PERIOD | ||||||
| III CYCLE 2024/2026 |
VESTING PERIOD | LOCK-UP PERIOD |
For each cycle of the plan, the beneficiaries are assigned a number of rights to receive shares proportional to the Fixed Remuneration according to the following scheme:
Chief Executive Officer: 35.30% (thirty-five point thirty percent) of the Fixed Remuneration for the office without considering nor other remunerations also of fixed nature recognized for positions other than that of CEO nor variable components;
Managers with Strategic Responsibilities: up to 68.20% (sixty-eight point twenty percent) of the Fixed Remuneration without considering variable components.
The plan includes a claw-back clause for all beneficiaries.
For further details and any other information, please refer to the Information Document published on the Company's website www.technoprobe.com in the "Governance/Shareholders' Meetings" section.

9.7 Pay mix
The pay mix is represented below, i.e. the forecast to date of the percentage weight of the various components compared to the overall remuneration recognized excluding the non-monetary component.
In the graphs below, the values of the variable components have been calculated and indicated in percentage as follows:
- STI TARGET AMOUNT Short-term variable component (MBO): the value of the incentive obtainable upon reaching the target has been indicated;
- LTI AMOUNT Long-term variable component: the annual value of the incentive was indicated by converting the value of the shares covered by the incentive itself into monetary terms, based on the average value of the shares in the three months preceding the date of approval of this Report;
- FIXED COMPONENT Fixed component: the various RBAs of the beneficiaries were reported.

9.8 Connection between the industrial plan and sustainability with the variable STI and LTI components of remuneration
CONNECTION OF POLITICS WITH THE INDUSTRIAL PLAN AND SUSTAINABILITY
The policy supports the achievement of the objectives set in the Business Plan, promoting, through an adequate balancing of the performance parameters of the short and long-term incentive systems, the alignment of management interests with the priority objective of creating sustainable value for shareholders in a medium-long term perspective.
| INDUSTRIAL PLAN | SUSTAINABILITY | PRODUCTIVE RESULT | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| RESTRICTED SHARES PLAN2024/2026 |
| | |

9.9 Malus and clawback clauses
Specific malus and clawback clauses are envisaged for both the short-term and longterm variable components, as recommended by the Corporate Governance Code (letter e) of Recommendation no. 27). In particular:
- the malus clause allows the variable component to be reduced or not paid in the event that, between the date of accrual of the right to variable compensation and the date of actual disbursement, data or information on the basis of which the right has accrued and/or is determined state proves to be manifestly incorrect or determined in the presence of fraudulent or grossly negligent behavior on the part of the recipients;
- the clawback clause allows the Company to request (i) the return, in whole or in part, of the shares, deducting a number of shares with a value corresponding to the tax, social security and welfare costs connected to the delivery of the shares; (ii) the refund of the prize money paid; or, (iii) if the shares have already been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, the refund of the sale value, deducted the amount corresponding to the tax, social security and welfare costs relating to the delivery of the shares, possibly also through compensation with salaries and /or any severance pay of the Beneficiary; in the event that the award was determined on the basis of data or information which subsequently proves to be manifestly incorrect or determined in the presence of fraudulent or grossly negligent behavior on the part of the recipients, within a period of 3 years from the disbursement of the incentive, or , with reference to the Restricted Share Plan, in the event that the Beneficiary is found to be responsible, with willful misconduct or gross negligence, for violations of laws and/or regulations, of the Code of Ethics or of company rules which have a relevance or lead to an impact on the scope of the employment relationship, affecting the related fiduciary basis.
10. REMUNERATIONS
(Scheme 7-bis Annex 3A of the RE – letter o) the remuneration policy possibly followed with reference to: (i) independent directors, (ii) participation in committees and (iii) the performance of particular tasks (president, vice president, etc.).
10.1 Introduction and clarifications
As indicated above, within the Board of Directors of Technoprobe it is possible to distinguish between:
- Executive Directors, such as the President, the Vice President and the CEO;
- Directors with roles in the Board Committees;
- Non-Executive Directors.
The attribution to Directors of powers for specific affairs, which do not constitute delegated attributions pursuant to art. 2381 of the Civil Code, does not, in itself, qualify them as Directors to whom specific powers are delegated.
The following paragraphs provide information relating to the remuneration of the directors, the members of the control body and the members of the supervisory body.
The remuneration of the Executive Directors, as well as that of the DiRS, will be the subject of more detailed analysis in the following paragraphs 11 and 12 of this Report.
It should be noted, however, from now on that:

- in the event of the appointment of a new CEO, a fixed remuneration not exceeding that of the outgoing CEO and an overall remuneration (including STI, LTI and non-monetary benefits) which is not greater than +10 is considered compliant with the Policy % compared to the third quartile of the reference market benchmarks;
- in the event of appointment/hiring of a new DiRS, a fixed remuneration not exceeding that of the CTO and an overall remuneration (including STI, LTI and non-monetary benefits) which is not greater than +10% compared to the third quartile of the reference market benchmarks;
- in the event of the appointment/hiring of a General Manager, a fixed remuneration not exceeding that of the CFO and an overall remuneration (including STI, LTI and non-monetary benefits) which is not greater than +10% compared to the third quartile of the reference market benchmarks.
In any case, in the event of the appointment/hiring of a new CEO, a General Manager or a new DiRS, Technoprobe may resort to primary companies specialized in executive compensation with the relevant methodological approaches and comparison markets due to the complexity and specificity of the role, after sharing with the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.
10.2 Board of Directors
The following table shows the compensation established by the Assembly3or by the Board of Directors4 for the position of Director and for Directors with roles in the Board Committees.
| DIRECTORS' FEES | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ORGAN | OFFICE | COMPENSATION | ||
| Board of Directors | Advisor | Euro 25,000 | ||
| Related Party Transactions Committee |
President | Euro 25,000 | ||
| Member | Euro 10,000 | |||
| Appointments and Remuneration Committee |
President | Euro 20,000 | ||
| Member | Euro 10,000 | |||
| Control and Risk Committee | President | Euro 20,000 | ||
| Member | Euro 10,000 | |||
| Lead Independent Director | ////////////////////////// | Euro 10,000 |
In line with best practices, a variable component of compensation is not provided for Directors and Directors with positions on Committees.
All Directors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in relation to their office, while no amount is recognized as severance pay.
3The Shareholders' Meeting of 14 December 2021 resolved to award a fixed compensation for each director of Euro 25,000.00 gross per year pro rata temporis.
4The Board of Directors of 11 April 2023, based on the admission of the Company's shares to trading on the Euronext Milan market (organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA), resolved the remuneration of the Directors with roles in the Board Committees, and specifically of the Presidents and members of the Committees as well as the Lead Independent Director, to the extent indicated in the table above.


In any case, the remuneration paid to the Directors is determined in such a way as to guarantee the adequacy of the competence, professionalism and commitment required by their role and taking into account the commitment required for the participation of the Directors in the individual board committees.
Always in line with best practices, a Directors & Officers Liability ("D&O") insurance policy is provided for the civil liability towards third parties of the corporate bodies and of the DiRS in the exercise of their functions. This policy, consequent to the provisions established on the subject by the applicable national collective labor agreement and by the rules regarding mandate, is aimed at keeping Technoprobe harmless from the costs deriving from the related compensation, excluding cases of willful misconduct and gross negligence.
No insurance, social security or pension coverage other than the mandatory ones is provided for the Directors or Directors with positions on the Committees.
It should be noted that the Technoprobe Shareholders' Meeting, which will be called to approve the financial statements as of 31 December 2023, will also be called to decide on the renewal of the current Board of Directors, which will expire upon completion of its mandate. The Shareholders' Meeting will therefore be called to decide on the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 1, CC, excluding the compensation to be attributed by the Board to the Directors with positions on the Committees or to the Executive Directors, as provided for by the art. 2389, paragraph 3, CC
10.3 Board of Statutory Auditors
The remuneration of the members of the supervisory body is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting on a fixed annual basis, adequate for the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the relevance of the role held and the dimensional and sectoral characteristics of the company.
The Shareholders' Meeting of 6 April 2023, called to resolve on the adjustment of the compensation of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, based on the admission to trading of the Company's ordinary shares on the Euronext Milan market (organised and managed by Borsa Italiana spa ), has determined a fixed annual gross compensation - pursuant to art. 2402 cc – as follows:
| BOARD OF AUDITORS' FEES | ||
|---|---|---|
| President | Euro 60,000 | |
| Member | Euro 40,000 |
Furthermore, the Auditors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred for official reasons.
In line with best practices, a D&O insurance policy is provided for the civil liability towards third parties of the corporate bodies including the members of the supervisory body.
It should be noted that the Technoprobe Shareholders' Meeting, which will be called to approve the financial statements as of 31 December 2023, will also be called to decide on the renewal of the current supervisory body, which will expire upon completion of its mandate. The Shareholders' Meeting will therefore be called to decide on the compensation of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as provided for by the art. 2402 C.C.


On 28 October 2021, the Board of Directors established the remuneration paid to the members of the Supervisory Body on a gross annual basis as follows.
| SUPERVISORY BODY FEES | ||
|---|---|---|
| President | Euro 15,000 | |
| Member | Euro 12,000 |
The compensation attributed to the members of the Supervisory Body is not included in the overall gross annual compensation established by the Shareholders' Meeting but is determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.
10.5 Executive President and Executive Vice President of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors, upon appointment and upon proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, determines the compensation for the President and the Vice President of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors of the Company on 28 December 2021 resolved to award:
- to the Executive President Cristiano Alessandro Crippa a compensation for the office equal to Euro 300,000 gross per year for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023;
- to the Executive Vice President Roberto Alessandro Crippa a compensation for the position equal to Euro 300,000 gross per year for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
With a subsequent resolution dated 28 March 2022, following an express request from the Vice President, the Board of Directors resolved to reduce the amount due to the Vice President himself, Roberto Crippa, from Euro 300,000 to Euro 210,000 for each financial year 2022 and 2023.
In particular, despite the importance of the delegations attributed to the President and the Vice President of the Board of Directors5 as well as the relevance and quantity of the work carried out, the latter have expressly renounced, on the one hand, the carrying out of a benchmarking activity on their salary positions (even though fully aware of the low positioning of their salaries), on the other, the participation in any form of short or longterm incentive as well as any variable component of remuneration.
For these reasons, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee did not deem it necessary to provide a specific analysis and/or market benchmark (with particular reference to the related remuneration targets/positionings) on the office of the Executive President and the Executive Vice President, even though the themselves are vested with delegation pursuant to art. 2381 CC

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee assesses the existence of exceptional circumstances that allow the derogation from the Policy.
In the event of exceptional circumstances, exceptions to the Policy are approved in compliance with the procedures for related party transactions adopted by the Company in implementation of the applicable Consob regulation in force pro tempore.
