Letter from the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee

Dear Shareholders,

as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee, it is my pleasure to present the Report on the Remuneration Policy for 2024 and Remuneration Paid in 2023, drawn up according to art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance and approved by the Board of Directors on 19 March 2024.

The Report not only sets out to provide clear, exhaustive and transparent information to shareholders and all stakeholders on Terna's Remuneration Policy for 2024 and remuneration paid to the Company's Directors, Statutory Auditors and Key Management Personnel in 2023, but to also highlight the role of remuneration in supporting the Company's growth plans.

As a strategic enabler, Terna is playing a central role in Italy's energy transition. It is committed to ensuring achievement of ambitious environmental goals, boosting the competitiveness of our industries and providing citizens with access to affordable electricity. The pace of the transition, dictated by international agreements, unrelenting, requiring very significant levels of investment and a commitment to achieving a series of challenging objectives. To realise these objectives that Terna must meet, the Company needs to leverage its highly-skilled human capital and its advanced STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) expertise. The labour market is currently undergoing a "war for talent" and demand for STEM specialists far outstrips supply, above all in Italy. In this context, it is essential to ensure that human resource policies are fully aligned to support Terna's strategic goals.

In addition to considerations around pay, to attract and motivate the best people a business needs to focus on its leadership framework and values system, providing an inclusive and collaborative workplace, respecting all its stakeholders and adopting a merit-based approach. In a forward-looking Company such as Terna, these principles are essential, as, it seems to us, the Company is fully aware. Empowerment, accountability and pay for performance are now a part of the Company's DNA and we have no reason to doubt that this is also reflected in areas of operation that are not visible to the Committee.

Whilst continuing with the tried and tested approach adopted in previous years, the Remuneration Committee has sought to take advantage of new opportunities for improvement, making use, where appropriate, of independent advisors. The driving force behind continuous improvement is the ongoing search and adoption of best practices, without ignoring the obvious fact that existing agreements must be adhered to.

We have also conducted a thorough benchmarking analysis to identify potential new initiatives, in line with the strategic elements described above. Very briefly (details are provided in the following sections), these were the key areas on which we focused our efforts in order to draw up the proposals put forward by the Remuneration Committee and later approved by the Board of Directors:

  • remuneration of the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, non-executive Directors and Statutory Auditors: no change;
  • remuneration of Key Management Personnel: given that the average positioning is below the first quartile, it was decided to leave the fixed component unchanged, whilst giving the CEO/GM leeway to increase:

1.the percentage of gross annual pay consisting of short-term incentives at target up to a maximum of 60% (compared with the current maximum of 50%);

2.the percentage of gross annual pay consisting of long-term incentives at target up to a maximum of 80% (compared with the current maximum of 60%).

  • short-term incentives/MBO: for certain KPIs, more challenging targets have been set to achieve the highest score;
  • long-term incentives: without revolutionising the existing scheme, new metrics have been introduced to facilitate objective quantification and measure the performance of key variables, such as the level of debt; the weighting criteria have also been revised;
  • one-off bonuses: further restrictions on their use have been introduced and they are thus only allowed in relation to:
      1. major extraordinary transactions with a significant impact;
      1. entry and retention bonuses, in exceptional cases where it is deemed essential to attract /retain strategic personnel to deliver on the Company's ambitious growth plans.
  • severance payments for management: without affecting existing rights, for newly appointed managers (promoted from within or hired from outside the Company), LTI plans are excluded from the computation of severance pay.

The content of this letter reflects the contributions of all the Directors who make up the Remuneration Committee - Angelica Donati, Professor Gian Luca Gregori, Simona Signoracci and Anna Chiara Svelto – whom I wish to personally thank for their extraordinary commitment and always attentive and constructive approach.

Dear Shareholders, the Remuneration Committee and all the Directors are here to serve the Company to ensure that it operates with a view to creating value and exceeding the highest expectations of investors and all its stakeholders. Any encouragement you can give with the aim of improving the Company's performance and governance will be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely, Enrico Tommaso Cucchiani

Chairman of the Remuneration Committee

Introduction

This Report summarises the principles and guidelines followed by Terna S.p.A. (hereinafter, for the sake of brevity, also "Terna" the "Company" or the "Group") in designing and reviewing the remuneration policy and its implementation, with particular reference to members of the Management and Oversight Bodies, the General Manager and Key Management Personnel ("KMP").

The document is divided into two sections:

  • Section I Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 describing the policy adopted by Terna for 2024 in respect of the remuneration of Directors, the General Manager, Key Management Personnel and members of Oversight Bodies, specifying the overall purposes pursued, the bodies involved and the procedures used in its adoption and implementation, as well as for the application of temporary exemptions;
  • Section II Report on remuneration paid in 2023 setting out details of the remuneration paid in 2023, by name in the case of Directors, Statutory Auditors and the General Manager and, in aggregate form, in the case of Key Management Personnel.

This Report was prepared in compliance with the current statutory requirements1 and is consistent with the regulations established by the CONSOB2 .

The Policy described in Section I was also prepared in line with the recommendations on the subject of remuneration in the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (the "Corporate Governance Code"), in its latest version. As described in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structures, please note that Terna formally signed up to the new edition of the Code at the Board of Directors meeting of 27 January 2021.

On 19 March 2024, Terna's Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, approved Sections I and II of this Report. Section I, containing the "Report on the remuneration policy", is subject to a binding vote at the Annual General Meeting, whilst Section II, containing the "Report on remuneration paid" and providing detailed information on pay in 2022, is subject to a non-binding vote at the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

1 Art. 123-ter of Legislative Decree 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Law on Finance" or "CLF", as amended by Legislative Decree 49 of 10 May 2019), which states that "at least twenty-one days before the date of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders [...], listed companies must provide the public with a report on the company's remuneration policy and remuneration paid, filing such report at their registered offices, on their websites and using the other methods established in CONSOB Regulations". The same art. 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis of the CLF states that "companies shall put their remuneration policy to a shareholder vote [...] at least every three years or when changes are made to the policy". Paragraph 3-ter states that "the result of the vote required by paragraph 3-bis is binding" (with reference to Section I of this document), adding that "if the Annual General Meeting fails to approve the remuneration policy put to a vote in accordance with paragraph 3-bis, the company shall continue to pay remuneration in compliance with the most recent remuneration policy approved by shareholders or, failing that, may continue to pay remuneration in compliance with current practices"

2 Art. 84-quater of the Regulations for Issuers, first added with resolution 18049 of 23 December 2011 and then amended by resolutions 18214 of 9 May 2012 and 21623 of 10 December 2020. In this regard, it should be noted that this Report incorporates the amendments most recently made to the Regulations for Issuers on 11 December 2020.

The current Board of Directors was elected by the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 and will remain in office for three years until the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The pay of Directors with delegated powers and the fees payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in Board Committees, as reported in Section I of this Report, were set by the current Board of Directors, which has in any event continued to follow a broadly similar approach to the previous Board.

The text of this Report will be made available to the public at the Company's head office and in the Governance section of the Company's website www.terna.it, within the twenty-first day preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, as required by the legislation in force.

The Information Circulars related to existing equity-based remuneration plans can be found in the Governance section of the Company's website.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

1. Summary of the main changes in this Report

The guidelines for the Remuneration Policy for 2024 were defined in substantial continuity and consolidation with the policy of the previous year, which incorporated all the mandatory regulatory requirements in force contained in the SHRD II and in the Regulations for Issuers, and are produced in line with the resolutions of the Board of Directors for the 2023-2025 term of office.

In light of the recommendations contained in the letter from the Chair of the Italian Committee for Corporate Governance, the requests of proxy advisors and best market practices, certain changes have been made to this Report, with a view to providing greater disclosure for all stakeholders

Changes for 2024

  • variable remuneration for Key Management Personnel:
      1. percentage for short-term incentives at target: up to a maximum of 60%;
      1. percentage for long-term incentives at target: up to a maximum of 80%.
  • short-term incentive plans (STI)/MBO: for certain KPIs, the targets have been made more challenging;
  • long-term incentive plans (LTI): new metrics have been introduced to measure the performance of certain key variables, such as the level of debt, and make more room for ESG indicators closely linked to the energy transition, partly with the aim of reducing double-dipping between the short and long term;
  • one-off bonuses, entry bonuses and retention bonuses: further restrictions have been introduced and such bonuses are thus only permitted in relation to major transactions with a significant impact and cases in which they are deemed essential to attract/retain strategic personnel to deliver on the Company's ambitious growth plans;
  • severance payments for management: without affecting existing rights, for newly appointed managers (promoted from within or hired from outside the Company), LTI plans are excluded from the computation of severance pay;
  • a revised peer group used for pay benchmarking purposes.

2. Engagement process and remuneration policies

2.1 Outcome of shareholder votes and feedback

Terna gives great importance to dialogue and continuous interaction during the year with the main beneficiaries and users of its Remuneration Policy, in order to ensure constant improvement in the adoption of best market practices and to incorporate suggestions received above all from shareholders and proxy advisors.

Terna's actions towards its shareholders, investors and key stakeholders are based on a structured and consistent communication process pursued continuously during the year. This process involves the main departments in question, specifically People Organization & Change, Corporate Affairs and Corporate Governance, Investor Relations and Corporate Development and Sustainability, along with support from an independent consultant.

To this end, Terna has continued to engage with shareholders, holding a series of meetings with the main institutional investors and proxy advisors in the period between February and March 2024. This was done to expand on the views expressed by these parties on key aspects of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid submitted to the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2023.

This dialogue provided the departments responsible for Terna's remuneration policies and the Remuneration Committee with precious feedback on the views of shareholders and, more generally, on those of the market regarding the nature of the Remuneration Policy adopted by Terna. During the year, an analysis of common market practices was carried out with the assistance of a specialist consulting firm, focusing on the information provided to the market in remuneration reports and the main characteristics of the remuneration systems adopted by companies comparable to Terna.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

This feedback, together with the results of the activities carried out in the year and the outcome of votes on remuneration resolutions at the Annual General Meeting in 2023, as well as the voting policies adopted by key investors and proxy advisors, was taken into account when defining the Remuneration Policy for 2024. The Policy contains the following elements:

FEEDBACK TERNA'S REMUNERATION POLICY
Remuneration policy for executive Directors
Pay opportunities for executive Directors must be defined in line with
peers and mainstream market practices and must not be excessive.
Pay opportunities for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager
are periodically reviewed, using market benchmarking carried out by
the Remuneration Committee with the support of an external advisor,
to ensure alignment with best market practices.
Any exceptions to the Remuneration Policy must place limitations on
the various elements they consist of.
Their use by the Board of Directors to adjust incentive plans or award
discretionary one-off bonuses must be appropriately explained.
The option of applying exceptions granted to the Board
of Directors on the recommendation of the Remuneration
Committee, in compliance with the Procedure for Related Party
Transactions, has been illustrated in the Report on the Policy for
2024. Any use of this option must be subsequently disclosed in
Section II of the Remuneration Report.
Performance based pay
Short- and long-term remuneration must be capped and payout
opportunities must be disclosed.
The Remuenration Policy indicates the range of payout opportunities
in the incentive schemes for the Terna Group's Chief Executive Officer
and General Manager and for Key Management Personnel.
There must be a clear link between the Company's performance
and the variable incentives. The financial and non-financial criteria,
including those relating to ESG matters, are significant when they
recognise effective performance in line with the Company's strategy
and objectives. There must not be major discrepancies between
the Company's financial and non-financial results and the payouts
effectively awarded.
The Remuneration Policy defines performance targets for incentive
schemes made up of financial and ESG indicators closely linked
with the Company's strategy. Section II of the Remuneration Report
includes a description of the Company's performance and the links
with the outcomes of incentive schemes.
The Corporate Governance Committee recommends that attention
is paid to the measurability and clarity of the ESG metrics used in
remuneration policies and to the quality of the criteria used.
The Remuneration Policy sets ESG performance targets for
the LTI plans closely linked to the Company's strategy (e.g., the
Overgeneration KPI).
Other elements
The Company must disclose the average pay of employees to permit
a comparison with Directors' pay.
Information on the average remuneration of employees, including
contextual information on the sample used, is provided in Section II of
the Remuneration Report.

Following publication of this Report, Terna is also available to continue this process of engagement with stakeholders, organising a new series of meetings with any interested key investors and proxy advisors, with the aim of helping them to fully understand all aspects of the Remuneration Policy for 2024.

Full disclosure regarding the remuneration of Directors and management is also provided in the constantly updated "Remuneration" page in the "Governance" section of the Company's website.

The outcomes of shareholder votes on Remuneration Reports between 2019 and 2023 are shown below. In evaluating the difference in the percentage of votes for the Report between 2022 (93.07%) and 2023 (87.29%), the increase in votes against (from 6.93% to 12.70%) should be considered within the context of a slight increase in the quorum for voting, which rose from 69.80% to 71.15% of the share capital.

2.2 The Terna Group's Total Shareholder Return and operating performance

Trends in the Terna Group's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) are shown below, with reference to its peers and the European sector benchmark index (DJ Stoxx Utilities) for the 2021-2023 period.

Over the three years from 2021 to 2023, Terna delivered a TSR of 37%, whilst the DJ Stoxx Utilities index recorded a TSR of 17.4%.

In the same period, Terna's shareholders enjoyed a return on their investment ahead of the average delivered by the peer group3 selected for the purposes of the LTI Plan, which stands at 22.4%.

2.3 Remuneration benchmarking Chief Executive Officer and General Manager

Given that the pay package for the Chief Executive Officer - General Manager has remained unchanged, it was analysed by an independent advisor (Mercer), who conducted a benchmarking analysis using a group of peers in the energy sector consisting of 12 companies (7 Italian and 5 European). The analysis confirmed that the remuneration in question is at a suitable level.

A list of the companies included in the peer group for benchmarking the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is shown below:

A2A Italgas
Acea National Grid
Enagas Redeia (Red Electrica)
Enel Severn Trent
Hera Snam
Iren United Utilities Group

Key Management Personnel

In the case of Key Management Personnel, the Remuneration Committee also periodically conducts a comparative assessment of overall remuneration for similar roles with the assistance of a specialist consulting firm. Specifically, Terna bases its assessment on the total remuneration for similar roles in a peer group of 35 major Italian and European companies, both listed and unlisted, deemed comparable to Terna in terms of sector, business model and market capitalisation.

The choice of peer group was carried out in order to obtain the best possible match with the characteristics of the Energy sector in Europe, without affecting the option of periodically revising the identified peer group.

A list of the companies4 included in the peer group for benchmarking the remuneration of Key Management Personnel is shown below:

Acea Eni Orano
Mundys ESB Orsted
Axpo Ferrari Plenitude
BP Ferrovie dello Stato Poste Italiane
Brembo Fortum RED Electrica de España
Centrica Gransolar Saipem
CNH Industrial Hitachi ABB Power Grids Snam
DCC Italgas Solarpack
Drax Power Group Iveco Group Suez
EDF Maire Tecnimont Veolia Environnement
Enagas McPhy Vodafone Group Services
ENGIE National Grid

The latest benchmarking exercise shows that the total remuneration of Key Management Personnel is between the first quartile and the market median.

4 Changes were made to the selected peer group compared with 2023 to better reflect the labour market in the Energy sector, adding further businesses in the sector to the peer group.

3. Governance

of the remuneration process

3.1 Corporate bodies and parties involved

The Remuneration Policy for the members of Terna's Board of Directors is defined in compliance with statutory requirements and the Articles of Association, according to which:

• the Annual General Meeting of shareholders determines the remuneration payable to the Chair and members of the Board of Directors at the time of their election and through their term of office;

• the Board of Directors determines the remuneration of Directors with delegated powers in compliance with the Articles of Association and the fees for participation in Board Committees, in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors.

In accordance with Terna's governance model, the Board of Directors is also responsible for setting the objectives and approving the corporate results for the performance-related plans to which determination of the variable remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is connected, in addition to defining the general criteria for the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

In line with the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors is supported, with regard to matters relating to remuneration, by a Remuneration Committee whose members are independent, nonexecutive Directors and who are tasked with giving assessments, making recommendations and providing advice on such matters. The following table shows a summary of the related advisory and decision-making bodies and support providers for each person covered by the Policy.

Board of Directors

Terna's Board of Directors (term of office 2023-2025) was elected by the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2023 and consists of 13 Directors.

On 14 October 2021, the number of members of each Board Committee was increased from three to four. In addition, on 9 May 2023, at the time of re-election of the Board of Directors, it was decided to increase the number of members of the Committees – with the exception of the Related Party Transactions Committee – from four to five. The increased number of Committee members means that the size of Committees is more in proportion with the size of the Board of Directors. The inclusion of additional expertise reinforces and encourages the emphasis on constructive dialogue that will benefit the entire Board of Directors in its efforts to achieve the challenging objectives in the Industrial Plan.

Board of Statutory Auditors

With regard to remuneration, the Board of Statutory Auditors expresses the opinions required by the regulations in force with reference, in particular, to the remuneration of Directors with delegated powers pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, verifying their coherence with the Company's remuneration policy. The Board of Statutory Auditors regularly participates in the meetings of the Remuneration Committee, and is made up of the following three statutory auditors:

  • Mario Matteo Busso Chairman
  • Lorenzo Pozza Auditor
  • Antonella Tomei Auditor

In 2023, the Board of Statutory Auditors met 26 times, with 98% participation and an average duration of 2 hours and 4 minutes, and participated in all the meetings of the Board of Directors. Furthermore, through its members, the Board participated in all the meetings of the Remuneration Committee (11 meetings), the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, until 9 May 2023 the Audit, Risk, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee (16 meetings), the Nominations, Governance and Scenarios Committee, until 9 May 2023 the Nominations Committee (12 meetings) and the Related Party Transactions Committee (13 meetings).

3.2 Policy approval process

In line with the related statutory and regulatory requirements in force and the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code, the decision-making process leading to implementation of the Remuneration Policy and responsibility for its correct application may be broken down into the following steps involving a number of parties:

    1. the Remuneration Committee prepares the Company's Remuneration Policy for Directors (including the General Manager), Key Management Personnel and the Board of Statutory Auditors, working closely with the People Organization and Change department and basing its analyses on the information and the work of the departments needed in order to carry out its role;
    1. the Remuneration Committee may avail itself of the support of independent experts in such matters;
    1. the Remuneration Committee submits the Policy for approval by the Board of Directors, which adopts the content thereof in relation to the Remuneration Policy for Directors (including the General Manager) and Key Management Personnel and long-term incentive plans. Furthermore, with reference to the determination of remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and Directors holding special office, the Board hears the opinion of the Statutory Board of Auditors;
    1. the Board of Directors, having examined and approved the Policy, puts it to the vote at the Annual General Meeting, which holds a binding vote on Section I and a non-binding vote on Section II5 .

Should the Annual General Meeting not approve the Remuneration Policy following the vote held in accordance with paragraph 3-bis, Terna may continue to pay remuneration on the basis of the most recent Remuneration Policy approved by Annual General Meeting or, failing this, will continue to pay remuneration in line with current practice. In this case, Terna will put a new Remuneration Policy to a shareholder vote at the latest on the occasion of the next General Meeting of shareholders provided for in article 2364, paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code, or of the General Meeting of shareholders provided for in article 2364-bis, paragraph 2 of the Code.

In exceptional circumstances, Terna may temporarily derogate from its remuneration policies, as permitted by art.123 ter, paragraph 3-bis of the CLF and art. 84-quater, paragraph 2-bis, letter c) of the Regulations for Issuers. Exceptional circumstances shall be understood to mean situations in which derogation from the Remuneration Policy is necessary in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to compete in the market.

5 It should be noted that the Procedure for Related Party Transactions, adopted by the Board of Directors on 12 November 2010, as subsequently amended (lastly by the Board of Directors on 16 December 2020) excludes the following from the scope of the Procedure: shareholder resolutions pursuant to article 2389, paragraph one of the Italian Civil Code, regarding the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee and resolutions on the remuneration for Directors with delegated powers falling within the total amount previously approved by Annual General Meeting in accordance with article 2389, paragraph three of the Italian Civil Code, and shareholder resolutions pursuant to article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code regarding the remuneration of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors. Furthermore, resolutions on the following matters are excluded from the scope of the Procedure for Related Party Transactions:

1) equity-based plans approved by Annual General Meeting of Terna's shareholders in accordance with article 114-bis of the CLF, and the related executive actions;

2) deliberations regarding the remuneration of Directors with delegated powers and Key Management Personnel, computed on an individual basis, provided that i) the Company has adopted a remuneration policy; ii) the process of drawing up the remuneration policy involved a committee consisting solely of non-executive directors, a majority of whom are independent, corresponding with, where established, the Remuneration Committee; iii) the remuneration awarded is determined in accordance with this policy and quantified on the basis of criteria that do not involve discretionary judgements.

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

These exceptional circumstances may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • a need to operate retention policies in favour of personnel considered strategic for the Group;
  • the implementation of policies designed to attract people capable of making a contribution to the growth and development of the business;
  • the recognition of individual and/or collective performances considered important and highly positive for the Group;
  • discontinuity in the organisation of the business, both linked to extraordinary operations, such as mergers and disposals, including of companies/business units, and linked to significant changes in the composition of senior management;
  • external changes of a socio-economic nature or the occurrence of extraordinary and unforeseeable events that by changing the relevant market scenario – could have a significant impact on the Group's results.

Should such exceptional circumstances occur, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee and, where envisaged, having previously activated the Procedure for Related Transactions adopted by the Company, may approve specific temporary derogations from the Remuneration Policy described in this Report. In line with best market practices and aimed at adequately responding to the requests of proxy advisors, the possible exemptions were reviewed and the exemption measures were outlined. Exemptions to this Policy are possible when necessary to the pursuit of the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to compete in the market, and in particular with regard to:

  • the fixed component of remuneration, in cases when, for example, it becomes necessary to replace, due to unforeseen events, the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager or Key Management Personnel, and to rapidly negotiate a remuneration package, without limiting the possibility of attracting managers with the most appropriate professional expertise to manage the Company and in any case guarantee the preservation of the same levels of sustainable success and market positioning;
  • the short-term variable component, with reference to the level of achievement of the objectives, the criteria used to assess the achievement of the performance objectives, the introduction of any deferred payment systems, and the expost correction mechanisms of the variable component (malus and clawback), if there have been significant changes in the scope of the Company's business, such as the sale of a company/branch of business or the acquisition of a significant business;
  • the long-term variable component, with reference to the level of achievement of the objectives, the criteria used to assess the achievement of the performance objectives, the reshaping of clauses for the retention of financial instruments in the portfolio after their allocation, and the ex-post correction mechanisms of the variable component (malus and clawback), if there have been significant changes in the scope of the Company's business, such as the sale of a company/branch of business or the acquisition of a significant business;
  • the provision, payment and/or amount of severance indemnity.

3.3 Independent experts and other parties involved

Terna has opted to avail itself of the support provided by the consulting firm, Willis Towers Watson, and other leading consulting firms to provide assistance with regard to the conduct of specific surveys of remuneration practices and to assist in preparing this Report.

The People Organization and Change department draws up the guidelines, accompanied by all the technical aspects required in order to prepare the Remuneration Policy. This department also acts as an internal technical body supporting the Remuneration Committee, for which it prepares the material for use by the Committee.

The Administration, Finance and Control department contributes to identification and achievement of the operating and financial objectives underlying short- and long-term incentive schemes.

The Heads of other departments are also consulted when defining objectives pertaining to projects or specific issues. People Organization and Change, External Relations, Government Affairs and Sustainability, Legal and Corporate Affairs and Administration, Finance and Control departments support the process of preparing this Report, which is subsequently submitted to the Remuneration Committee.

4. Remuneration policy

4.1 Content, purposes and links with the Group's strategy

The Policy described in this Report focuses exclusively on the pay of members of management bodies, the General Manager, Key Management Personnel and the members of oversight bodies.

Purposes of the policy and links with the group's strategy

The Policy described in this Report, of annual duration, has the following purposes:

Attract, retain and motivate personnel with the professional skills required in order to successfully manage the Company

Facilitate alignment of the interests of management with pursuit of the priority goal of creating shareholder value through the use of short- and long-term variable components of pay

Support delivery of the objectives included in the Company's Industrial Plan

The key aspects of the Group strategic vision are:

  • Regulated Activities: an acceleration of investment in infrastructure and digitalisation and the reinforcement of core activities in Italy through the direct involvement of territories and dialogue with all stakeholders and local communities, confirming the role of the Terna Group as a driver of the energy transition and enabler of an increasingly complex, sustainable and innovative electricity system.
  • Non-regulated Activities: Terna will continue to pursue new business opportunities thanks to the development of innovative and digital technologies in line with the Group's institutional role in the energy transition. Specifically, these activities include:
    • Equipment, covering both transformers, thanks to the consolidation of Tamini, and underground cables, through the distinctive skills acquired with the Brugg Cables Group, to respond to increasing demand in both sectors and strengthening the supply chain;
    • Connectivity services, also through partnerships, with telecommunications operators and electricity distributors, through fibre optic infrastructure housing and hosting services and the installation of telecommunications devices at existing offices of the Terna Group;
    • Energy Solutions, energy efficiency services for industrial clients and construction, revamping and O&M services for photovoltaic plants, in this case using the skills acquired through the LT Group along with innovative data collection and analysis technologies.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

• International Activities: along with the ongoing process designed to extract value from the South American assets, Terna will continue with the strategic assessment of opportunities in geopolitically stable markets with attractive growth potential, where the Terna Group will be able to offer its experience and make the most of the expertise acquired through the planning and management of infrastructure.

The value creation process and the business model

Terna's process for creating value over time is shaped by a form of governance that targets sustainable success through the definition of a solid medium- to long-term strategy, based on the 2023 Development Plan and the 2024- 2028 Industrial Plan, with the aim of delivering an energy and digital transition that takes into account the impact on society (a just transition). The other key elements that will contribute to fully achieving this strategic goal are the correct allocation of resources, which Terna manages by focusing its investment on the efficiency and resilience of the national transmission grid (NTG) and the assessment and management of the financial and ESG risks connected with the business and the related potential opportunities.

The capitals represent the key resources at Terna's disposal to create and preserve value over time through their continual combination and interaction, both within the Company and with the outside world, including in the latter the legitimate needs and expectations of stakeholders. The capitals thus play a key role in the value creation process, representing, at one and the same time, inputs that can be measured from one year to another (on the left side of the infographic), outputs representing the results in terms of the organisation's products, services, by-products and waste (at the centre of the infographic) and outcomes, representing their ability to grow or change or to contribute to the achievement of the objectives set by the Company in its strategic plans (on the right).

Value creation process over time

The value creation process over time takes inspiration from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, forming the heart of the 2030 Agenda. These provide Terna with a series of benchmark values, with SDGs 7 (Affordable and clean energy), 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and 13 (Climate action) fully aligned with the Company's mission and strategic objective of achieving a just transition. SDG 17 (Partnership for the goals), meanwhile, provides further impetus for accelerating delivery of this objective.

The SDGs also summarise the coherency of Terna's value creation process with the aim of delivering sustainable success, the operating results of which are measured through specific indicators.

TERNA'S BENCHMARK SDGs

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development.

Terna's Remuneration Policy for 2024 aims to guide the Group's management towards its strategic objectives while fully complying with the value creation model.

In particular, with reference to the indicators selected for incentive schemes, the Remuneration Policy is geared towards achievement of ESG goals, as shown in the table below:

With regard to the process used to select these indicators, the short-term incentive scheme involves the deployment of objectives to be cascaded down through the organisation as follows:

  • for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, the principal drivers of the Industrial Plan have been selected and shaped into annual objectives;
  • Key Management Personnel have been assigned a number of the objectives set for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager in the form of Group objectives for all beneficiaries; the other objectives assigned to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager or, in any event deriving from the Industrial Plan, have been assigned to Key Management Personnel based on their area of responsibility. In addition, where the achievement of particularly important strategic objectives requires the joint involvement of several areas of the Company, objectives have been assigned to Key Management Personnel across various departments;
  • all the other beneficiaries have been similarly assigned Group objectives linked to the principal drivers of the Industrial Plan, with the other objectives cascaded down on the basis of the area of responsibility assigned, either individually or across departments, in order to ensure the maximum contribution of everyone to deliver of the overall strategy.

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

For 2024, the following objectives set in relation to short-term incentives have been confirmed:

  • in terms of operating performance, the Group's EBITDA;
  • in terms of Regulated Activities, "Capital Expenditure", "Assets Entering Service" and "Service Quality", as defined by ARERA, in order to support the major commitment to the National Transmission Grid (NTG) in terms of both capital expenditure and service to the community;
  • with regard to human resources and ESG issues in general, the Terna Group's occupational safety and injuries to contractors' personnel, to ensure Terna's continued focus on issues relating to sustainability.

Furthermore, in 2024 two objectives have been set for the CEO, in keeping with the proposal put forward for 2023, given their strategic importance:

  • Incentives output DSM
  • Incentives output Interzonal

These objectives were selected in line with the Group's strategy with a view to ensuring that the performance achieved to date continues to be met in future years.

Further information is provided in paragraph 4.7 "Remuneration of Key Management Personnel – short-term variable component (MBO)".

Medium/long-term objectives are set for the long-term incentive scheme so as to ensure the sustainability of the business and align Terna's management with the Company's risk profile, as communicated to shareholders and stakeholders in the Industrial Plan.

In particular, for the new 2024-2028 long-term incentive plan, it was decided to:

  • within the scope of operating performance:
    • reduce EBITDA from 30% to 20% and replace Regulated Investment with a new indicator, FFO / Net Debt (a 30% weighting), to ensure the Group's financial sustainability.
  • within the scope of sustainability performance:
  • remove the indicator relating to inclusion in sustainability indexes to increase the weighting assigned to an ESG goal closer to Terna's business (Overgeneration, up from 15% to 30%, with a view to pursuing the targets relating to the energy transition).
  • within the scope of the market performance:
    • retain the Total Shareholder Return and its relative weighting (20%) to ensure the best possible alignment between management's interests and those of shareholders.

Further confirmation of the close link between the Company's medium/long-term strategic vision and the Remuneration Policy is provided by the fact the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, as well as Key Management Personnel, the weighting assigned to long-term incentives is greater that the weighting assigned to short-term incentives in relation to overall remuneration.

FOCUS

Working conditions and pay of employees

The Company annually monitors working conditions and pay in order to promote a Remuneration policy that is consistent for employees as a whole. The most significant HR initiatives included:

  • the active commitment to obtain UNI PdR 125 2022 gender equality certification as further proof of the Group's focus on DE&I policies; this initiative is a key part of the strategy adopted by Terna and confirms its position as one of the world's most inclusive companies with a strong commitment to achieving gender equality. This is demonstrated by the inclusion of our company in the Standard & Poor's Gender Equality & Inclusion index, the new international ranking launched in August 2021 that measures the performance of listed companies in terms of gender equality and inclusion. This commitment translates to the adoption of a company "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" policy which, together with the Group's Code of Ethics, commits the Company to pursuing gender inclusion and equality, and to promoting talent and female leadership with specific projects;
  • the distribution of the value created by our community of people through the renewal of the agreement with trade unions on the performance bonus and opportunities linked to forms of corporate welfare;
  • as part of the WellbeingInAction project, development of a new initiative designed to identify the wellbeing needs of "deskless" operational personnel working at infrastructure units and shift personnel who work in control rooms and in remote operation for Dispatching and at Avvenia and devise appropriate solutions; work took place on the training offer for wellbeing on the Academy platform and a new hands-on experiential laboratory focusing on Personal Energy was launched. Wellbeing is one of the challenges in Terna's Leadership Framework;
  • last year, the Terna Academy consolidated its key role in the Group's training, expanding both the range of topics included in the training offer and the vertical nature and degree of specialisation of the training programmes. This resulted in a significant increase in the total number of hours of training, deriving also from the introduction of innovative digital learning methods. These advances enabled the Company to delve further into the three core verticals: Energy Transition, New Ways of Working and Sustainability. Finally, the Terna Academy not only boosted opportunities for flexible forms of training, but also provided a high standard of technical and specialist training in compliance and HSE, in line with the commitment to pass on the Group's distinctive competencies and develop the skills of Terna's employees;
  • constant feedback mechanisms at all levels of the workforce, including the Employee Net Promoter System (e-NPS), with an average participation rate of 82% of those eligible, monitoring the engagement rate by measuring the degree of satisfaction felt by employees with regards to working for Terna and within its organisational structure. The survey also analyses the ability to put into practice some fundamental aspects such as, for example, cooperation, mutual trust and a sense of belonging. This system was extended in 2023 to include people at Tamini and Brugg Cables;
  • the consolidation of initiatives to support the expansion of the Welfare package and its availability throughout the Company. A wellness platform is available to improve people's physical wellbeing, and there is another platform focusing on care-giving. At the same time, work is taking place on special agreements with service providers, with the involvement of the Group's employees. In addition, following changes in legislation and tax, the platform used to convert and use performance bonuses was adjusted to enable employees to make greater use of fringe benefits. In early 2024, a new tax-related project, aimed at all employees, is being launched and will provide free help in completing tax returns.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

4.2 Guidelines

In defining the Policy, the Board took into consideration the principles and criteria set out in the Corporate Governance Code and, in particular, verified that the performance objectives, to which payment of the variable components are linked, are predetermined, subject to a maximum limit, measurable and to a significant extent linked to long-term performance and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and aimed at promoting its sustainable success, while also including non-financial measures (e.g. sustainability indicators).

4.3 Implementation

In implementation of the above principles, it should be noted that:

  • the remuneration of Directors without delegated powers is aligned with their expertise, professionalism and commitment required in order to perform the tasks assigned to them and is linked to their participation in Board Committees, with differences between the amount paid to Chairs as opposed to the members of each Committee;
  • the pay of the Chairman of the Board of Directors consists of fixed pay in keeping with the role held;
  • the pay of the Chief Executive Officer and, if appointed, the General Manager6 , is designed to ensure a balance that is appropriate and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, bearing in mind the nature of the business and the sector in which Terna operates, whilst ensuring that the variable component represents a significant part of the overall remuneration package.

In implementation of art. 5, Recommendation 27(f) of the Corporate Governance Code, a severance payment is also provided for in the event termination of the Chief Executive Officer's directorship and her employment as General Manager in the event of termination of the employment relationship, unless in specific cases.

4.4 Elements of the remuneration policy

Within the scope of the role of the Annual General Meeting in re-electing the Board of Directors tasked with defining the relevant remuneration and the decisions to be taken by the new Board of Directors, Terna's Remuneration Policy for 2024 consists of the following key elements:

  • a fixed component of remuneration;
  • a short-term variable component;
  • a long-term variable component;
  • benefits;
  • severance payments.

A detailed description of each element of the Policy, based on the specific characteristics of each beneficiary, is provided below.

4.5 Remuneration of members of the Board of Directors

This section sets out the key aspects of the Guidelines to the Remuneration Policy for the following groups of people identified according to internal rules:

  • Directors without delegated powers;
  • Directors with delegated powers.

The Guidelines for the Remuneration Policy for 2024 have maintained continuity with the previous year.

6 The Policy is applied to Key Management Personnel in the same way as it is applied to the role of General Manager.

4.5.1 Remuneration of Directors without delegated powers

Remuneration established by the Annual General Meeting

The annual remuneration of Directors with delegated powers consists solely of the fixed component, considered sufficient to attract, retain and motivate Directors endowed with the professional qualities required to successfully manage the Company. This component is linked to the commitment required for each of them. For the 2023-2025 term of office, this remuneration, as determined by the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2023, based on the recommendations put forward by shareholders, is €35,000 gross per year, in continuity with the previous term of office.

No variable component tied to the operating performance of the Company and the Group is provided for. Directors without delegated powers do not participate in the incentive plan and there is no distinction in terms of remuneration between independent and non-independent Directors.

These Directors are also entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred while carrying out their duties in addition to insurance cover for civil liability towards third parties; they have the right, finally, to an insurance policy for occupational accidents related to the position.

Fee for participating in Board Committees

Additional fees payable to the members of Board Committees are determined by the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors.

For the 2023-2025 term of office, the annual fee payable to Directors for participation in Board Committees was determined by the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023, in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors, elected by the Annual General Meeting held on 9 May 2023 In continuity with the previous Board, the fees are as follows:

Remuneration Committee Nominations, Governance and Scenarios Committee
Chair € 50.000 Chair € 50.000
Member € 40.000 Member € 40.000
Related Party Transactions Committee Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee
Coordinator € 50.000 Chair € 60.000

Member € 40.000 Member € 40.000

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

4.5.2 Remuneration of Directors with delegated powers

Chairman of the Board of Directors

In continuity with the previous term of office, for the 2023-2025 term of office, the total remuneration for the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors, as determined by the Annual General Meeting and the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023, consists solely of the fixed component, broken down as follows:

* Annual pay approved by the Annual General Meeting held on 9 May 2023 (and in accordance with article 24.1 of Terna's Articles of Association). ** A fixed annual amount approved by the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023, as proposed by the Remuneration Committee after consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors will thus receive fixed remuneration of €238,000 for the 2023-2025 term of office.

Generally, in the case of other Directors with delegated powers and with whom the Company does not have an employment relationship, the Company does not provide severance payments or compensation of an extraordinary nature on termination of the term in office, with the exception of the Chair, who is due a payment on completing their term in office equal to 1/12 of total annual remuneration for each year in office.

Chief Executive Officer and General Manager

At Terna, the Chief Executive Officer's position as a Director and the General Manager's employment relationship are connected, so that when one is terminated so is the other.

The General Manager's employment relationship is governed by the existing National Collective Employment Contract for manufacturing and service companies. In addition to the forms of remuneration described below, the policy applied to the General Manager is the same as that applied to management personnel in general, in addition to those listed below.

Fixed component of remuneration

Fixed component of remuneration - Chief Executive Officer

In continuity with the previous term of office, for the 2023-2025 term of office, total fixed remuneration for the role of Chief Executive Officer breaks down as follows:

* Annual pay approved by the Annual General Meeting held on 9 May 2023 (and in accordance with article 24.1 of Terna's Articles of Association). ** A fixed annual amount approved by the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023, as proposed by the Remuneration Committee after consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Fixed component of remuneration - General Manager

In continuity with the previous term of office, the General Manager's total fixed remuneration for the 2023-2025 term of office consists of a gross annual fixed component (gross annual pay or GAP), approved by the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023, totalling €850,000.

In total, therefore, the CEO and GM will receive total gross annual fixed remuneration of €1,085,000 for the 2023-2025 term of office.

FOCUS

CEO and GM PAY RATIO

In order to monitor the ratio between the pay of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the remuneration of the Group's entire workforce, we have again in 2024 calculated the ratio between the gross annual fixed remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the median fixed remuneration of the Terna Groups Italian workforce, which results in a ratio of 24.

The pay ratio has remained generally stable since 2016: from 2016 to 2021 the ratio was 26 and in 2022 and 2023 it was 25, confirming the fact that the pay structure continues to appropriately reward the level of expertise, experience and contribution required for the various roles.

Short-term variable component (MBO)

The short-term incentive (MBO) plan allows for the assessment of the annual contribution of each beneficiary to the performance of Terna and directs management actions towards strategic objectives in line with business priorities. The Board of Directors, following the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, defines the MBO objectives for Directors with delegated powers and for the General Manager, with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager when it applies to his/her interests.

The short-term incentive scheme does not provide for deferral mechanisms. This choice was made in full awareness and upon taking into consideration the following elements:

  • the risk profile of the company and reference sector;
  • the presence of a long-term incentive scheme and its relative weight compared to the fixed component and shortterm variable component;
  • the use of a rolling long-term incentive scheme that takes the form of annual awards, with a three-year vesting period and a two-year lock-up period;
  • the existence of clawback provisions.

Finally, it should be noted that, in recent years, the objectives underlying the short- and long-term incentive schemes for both the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and Key Management Personnel have become ever more demanding in order to support delivery of the increasingly challenging strategic plans, above all in terms of the objectives linked to investment, operating and financial performance and workplace safety. This approach has been confirmed for 2024, a particularly challenging year in view of macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

In line with previous years, the short- and long-term variable incentive schemes established in the Remuneration Policy for 2024 also reflect the challenging nature of strategic objectives.

Short-term variable component (MBO) - Chief Executive Officer

The short-term incentives foreseen for the Chief Executive Officer, for the powers delegated to them, are determined by the Board of Directors, with the abstention of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, based on the recommendation from the Remuneration Committee and in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors.

Access to the incentive is subject to achievement of pre-defined corporate objectives of particular significance for the Company, proposed ex-ante by the Committee, approved by the Board of Directors and measured ex-post by the same Committee on an on/off basis.

The annual value of the incentive, approved by the Board of Directors, is €50,000 gross on achievement of the minimum level of performance (an objective with a weighting of 25% ON) and €200,000 gross on achievement of the maximum level (all objectives ON). No sum is payable if no target is achieved.

The table below shows the targets defined for the year 2024:

The first of the objectives assigned to the Chief Executive Officer measures the value of Net Profit in the Budget for 2024.

The second objective measures the performance in 2024 in relation to the measurement of the volumes procured for the relevant services, using internal calculation tools in accordance with the methodology provided for in Resolution 597/21. This target is considered achieved when the figure is below or equal to 7.8 TWh.

The final objective is to maintain the transmission capacity available from 1 January 2023 (+527 MW, in addition to the 1,450 MW made available from 2021) throughout the year, in order to avoid the residual risk of a clawback on the incentive pursuant to ARERA Resolution 23/2022; the TIQ.TRA (567/19) allows the regulator to reduce the bonus in cases where the ratio between the average transmission capacity made available for the day-ahead market and the peak winter transmission capacity is significantly lower than historical ratios, in one or more of the three years following commissioning of the investment that made the additional transmission capacity available, except for reasons unrelated to the transmission system operator, where duly documented.

Short-term variable component (MBO) - General Manager

The payment of short-term incentives (MBO) to the General Manager is subject to verifying the achievement of the performance targets assigned annually, defined by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, with the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager abstaining from the process when it applies to his/ her interests.

For 2024, the targets assigned to the General Manager are shown in the table below, with the related score ranges.

** ARERA is the Regulatory Authority for Energy Networks and the Environment (Autorita di Regolazione per Energia Reti e Ambiente).

The first of the objectives assigned to the General Manager measures the value of EBITDA in the Budget for 2024.

The second objective assigned to the General Manager measures the value of Investment in the Budget for 2024 for all the Terna Group's regulated activities.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

The third objective measures "Assets entering service" in the Budget for 2024, indicating the value of assets ready to enter service as part of the grid and as operating assets in the relevant period for all the Terna Group's regulated activities.

The "Service Quality" objective refers to the Group's operating performance by measuring, in MWh, the quantity of energy not supplied (RENS, Regulated Energy Not Supplied). As a result, the lower the figure for this indicator, the higher the score, up to a maximum of (150%).

The "Workplace safety" objective is represented by the safety indicator (SI), calculated as the weighted average of the Injury Rate and the Lost Day Rate and assessed by comparing the performance during the year with the average performance of the last three years.

The final objective assigned to the General Manager regards the rate of growth in the injury rate for contractors' personnel operating at Terna's sites (in Italy).

The amount of the incentive actually disbursed varies according to the level of achievement of the targets assigned to the single objectives, as illustrated here below:

Average of scores for individual targets

On the whole, therefore, for 2024, the CEO and GM will receive short-term variable remuneration amounting, at target, to €500,000 gross per year and, in the case of outperformance, to €650,000 gross per year.

If the average of the scores of the single targets is less than 80%, nothing is due. In the event of outperformance, it is not possible to attain a higher bonus than the maximum set (150%).

Long-term variable component (LTI)

In order to contribute to the achievement of the long-term strategic objectives, the Company uses a long-term incentive scheme aimed at:

  • ensuring that management's interests are aligned with the creation of long-term value for shareholders, by introducing a financial incentive into the remuneration structure of beneficiaries linked to the achievement of challenging multi-year performance objectives for the company, directly connected with share price performance and also with non-financial indicators;
  • rewarding long-term performance through rolling, annual awards linked to strategic objectives;
  • creating loyalty among the beneficiaries over the period of the Plan by making the economic incentive set out in the Plan linked to the employment relationship with the Group for the period of validity of the Plan.

In continuity with the approach used in previous years, for 2024, Terna has adopted a new rolling long-term equitybased incentive scheme. Specifically, in 2024 the Company will operate the Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 (the "Performance Share Plan 2024-2028").

This Plan, described in detail in the specific Information Circular prepared in accordance with art. 114-bis of the CLF and art. 84-bis of the Regulations for Issuers, marks a further step in the ongoing process of improving Terna's remuneration policy, with a view to more closely aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders, also reflected in the extended duration of the new Plan.

Key aspects of the Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 are described below.

Long-term incentive plan based on Performance Shares for 2024-2028

The Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 is intended for the General Manager (who also holds the position of Chief Executive Officer), Key Management Personnel and other managers selected from the Terna Group's senior and middle managers, be they Executives or Middle Managers, and provides for the use of Terna S.p.A.'s ordinary shares (Performance Shares) and rolling annual awards, with a three-year vesting period (2024-2026) and a two-year lockup period.

The Plan envisages the grant of the right to receive free of charge a given number of Terna S.p.A.'s ordinary shares at the end of a vesting period and on the achievement of the performance objectives to which the Plan is linked. In this way, the interests of management are systematically linked to those of shareholders.

The performance indicators which determine the number of Performance Shares to be attributed at the end of the vesting period are:

  • Three-year cumulative EBITDA and FFO / Average Net Debt over the three years reflecting the operating performance achieved;
  • Relative TSR versus a peer group, reflecting the level of share price performance delivered;
  • Overgeneration, involving reduced use of modulated production from generation using non-programmable renewable sources, requested by Terna to meet security requirements for the National Electricity System.

The overall performance is measured as the weighted average of the scores achieved for each of the four Plan targets, according to the respective performance curves presented above. For the incentive scheme to be activated and, therefore, for the right to the award of Performance Shares to be attained, an overall performance of at least 80% must be achieved, below which nothing is due. In the event of outperformance, it is not possible to attain a higher bonus than the maximum set (150%).

Assessment of achievement of the Plan objectives will be conducted by the Board of Directors in order to determine the number of Performance Shares to be awarded on the basis of the indications of the Remuneration Committee, during approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2026.

7 Terna's TSR and that of its peers is calculated over a period of three years, using the average of closing share prices in 2023 and the same average for 2026. The source of the data for TSR is Bloomberg.

8 The companies in the peer group (Snam, Red Electrica, Enagas, National Grid, Severn Trent and United Utilities) are all major listed European utilities. They are part of the regulated utilities sub-sector and therefore implement a business model that, although related to different sectors, presents elements of uniformity and comparability with Terna's. The selection of the peer group was therefore guided towards the identification of stocks that reflect the characteristics of Terna's stock, with reference to the business cycle as well as with reference to external elements that may affect their performance, so much so that at the time of drafting this Report, the same stocks were examined by financial analysts for the purposes of evaluating and comparing them with Terna's stock. Equities that are subject to extraordinary operations that entail their delisting or a significant reduction in the floating capital, will be replaced (up to a maximum of two) by the following stock, listed in order: Elia, REN.

At the end of the vesting period, an additional number of Performance Shares may be awarded (the dividend equivalent). These additional Shares correspond with the value of any dividends not received on the Shares effectively awarded, with the aim of achieving an increased alignment between the interests of management and those of investors.

The final Bonus under the Plan thus depends on:

  • the number of Shares awarded (based on the Terna Group's performance);
  • the value of the Shares, based on the share price performance.

At the end of the vesting period, 30% of the Shares awarded, including those awarded as dividend equivalents, will be subject to a further lock-up period of two years, which will end in 2028. During this period, the Shares are nontransferable (meaning that they may not be transferred and/or sold for a period of 24 months).

The following chart shows the timing of the Performance Share Plan 2024-2028:

New LTI Plan: Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 - General Manager

The General Manager's variable remuneration linked to the Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 involves the grant of the right to a given number of Shares corresponding with a percentage of the General Manager's Gross Annual Pay (overall amounts over the three years). This amount varies in relation to the achievement of different levels of performance (Minimum, Target and Maximum), as shown below:

At the end of the vesting period, an additional number of Shares is awarded as dividend equivalents, corresponding with the value of any dividends not received on the Shares effectively awarded.

The final bonus payable to the General Manager under the Plan thus depends on:

  • the number of Shares awarded (based on the Terna Group's performance);
  • the value of the Shares, based on the share price performance.

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

At the end of the vesting period, 30% of the Shares awarded, including those awarded as dividend equivalents, will be subject to a further lock-up period of two years. During this period, the Shares are non-transferable (meaning that they may not be transferred and/or sold for a period of 24 months).

In the event of termination of the relationship prior to award of the Shares for reasons other than the following:

  • dismissal for disciplinary reasons;
  • resignation without just cause;
  • termination of the directorship for just cause;
  • resignation of the director without just cause;

and, therefore, also in the event of termination of the relationship by mutual consent, the right to the award of a portion of the Shares on a prorated basis will be maintained (for the beneficiary or their heirs or successors), based on an assessment of the performance achieved at the date of termination.

Other long-term incentive plans

It should be noted that Terna currently has rolling equity-based incentive plans in place awarded annually. These are the Performance Share Plans for 2022-2026 and 2023-2027.

These share plans make it possible to reward long-term, sustainable growth in shareholder value and more closely align the Company's remuneration with market practices, the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code and the objectives in the Industrial Plan.

Details of the Long-term Performance Plans for 2022-2026 and 2023-2027 are provided in the Remuneration Reports for 2022 and 2023 and the related Information Circulars, all of which are available on the Company's website.

Clawback and Malus Provisions

The variable portion of the remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is subject to clawback provisions, requiring the repayment of any amounts already paid within the statute of limitations envisaged by current legislation and whether or not the relationship is still in place or has been terminated. Malus provisions also apply, giving the Company the right to withhold any part of the incentive subject to deferral, where applicable, if there is evidence that payment of the bonus was made on the basis of information that is manifestly inaccurate or misleading, in the event of serious and intentional breaches of the law, the Code of Ethics or company regulations, in the event of fraudulent conduct or gross negligence on the part of the beneficiary to the detriment of the Company or one of the Group Companies. The application of these provisions is nevertheless without prejudice to any other action permitted by the law in order to protect the interests of the Company.

Benefits

As is the case with the Group's management personnel and in keeping with the Policy implemented in previous years, the General Manager's benefits package has been determined in accordance with the terms of the related National Collective Employment Contract and of the company policies and practices applicable to management personnel in general:

  • contributions to a supplementary pension fund;
  • enrolment in a supplementary medical insurance scheme;
  • life and permanent disability insurance;
  • a company car for personal use;
  • occupational and non-occupational accident insurance.

Non-competition agreements

Terna has not currently entered into non-competition agreements with Directors and the General Manager, involving payment of a fixed amount or a proportion of fixed remuneration based on the duration and scope of the restrictions resulting from the agreement. However, Terna reserves the right to assess the potential introduction of specific provisions in this regard, within the limits set by company policy, which makes reference to the disbursement of one year's pay under agreements with a duration of one year.

Severance

In line with market practices and in order to protect the Company's interests by preventing potential disputes, on termination, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager has the right to receive termination and severance payments.

It should be noted that, at Terna, the Chief Executive Officer's position as a Director and the General Manager's employment relationship are connected, so that, unless renewed, when one is terminated so is the other fiduciary relationship.

In line with the Board of Directors' resolution of 9 May 2023 and the individual agreements subsequently entered into, except in the event of dismissal for disciplinary reasons and resignations without just cause, on termination of the employment relationship linked to the end of the term of office, the following applies: (i) as General Manager, an all-inclusive severance payment equal to 24 months' pay (being fixed and short- and long-term variable remuneration calculated in accordance with the Policy), in addition to a payment in lieu of notice (fixed and short- and long-term variable remuneration calculated in accordance with the Policy) pursuant to art. 2121 of the Italian Civil Code; (ii) as Chief Executive Officer, a termination payment due at the end of the term in office (TFM) equal to 1/12 of remuneration as CEO (fixed and short-term variable remuneration) paid for each year in office. These severance payments are not linked to performance.

It should be noted that, under the same conditions, the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager retains the rights awarded under the incentive schemes and that, in the event of termination prior to the end of their term of office, the rights will be calculated on a prorated basis. In any event, bonuses are awarded when the plans mature.

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

4.6 Remuneration of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors

This section describes key aspects of the Remuneration Policy for members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The annual remuneration of members of the Board of Statutory Auditors consists solely of a fixed component. This component is determined on the basis of the commitment required in order to carry out their duties.

For the 2023-2025 term of office, the Board of Statutory Auditors received the following remuneration, set by the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2023:

Board of Statutory Auditors (remuneration for the 2023-2025 term of office)

Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors € 55,000
Standing Auditor € 45,000

4.7 Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

Key Management Personnel (KMP) refers to persons who, directly or indirectly, have the power and responsibility for the planning, direction and control of the Company's operations. At the date of this Report, Key Management Personnel, as reflected in the Group's new organisational structure, hold the following positions:

  • Chief Financial Officer;
  • Head of Corporate Affairs;
  • Head of Innovation & Market Solutions;
  • Major Projects and International Development Director;
  • Head of the National Transmission Grid;
  • People Organization and Change Director;
  • Head of Grid Development and Dispatching Strategies.

The list of Key Management Personnel has been drawn up by interpreting article 152-sexies, paragraph 1(c) of the Regulations for Issuers in its widest sense, in order to ensure maximum transparency of the information provided to shareholders on transactions carried out by the Company's Key Management Personnel, albeit within their specific areas of responsibility.

In drawing up the Remuneration Policy for Key Management Personnel, account was taken of the need to link a portion of their remuneration to the achievement of specific performance objectives, including some of a non-financial nature, linked to the Group's sustainable success (principle XV in the Corporate Governance Code now in force) and in line with the overall remuneration policy drawn up by the Board of Directors.

Recommendations 27 and 28 in the Corporate Governance Code also apply, where compatible, to determination of the remuneration for Key Management Personnel.

The employment relationship with Key Management Personnel is governed by the existing National Collective Employment Contract for manufacturing and service companies. In addition to the forms of remuneration described below, the policy applied to the Key Management Personnel is the same as that applied to management personnel in general.

The remuneration of Key Management Personnel consists of the following elements:

  • Gross Annual Pay (GAP), determined on the basis of the role held, the responsibilities assigned and the strategic nature of the manager;
  • short-term incentives (MBO), with access subject to the achievement of predetermined business objectives, which at target represent up to 60% of Gross Annual Pay (GAP);
  • long-term incentives, with access subject to the achievement of predetermined multi-year objectives, and which, in terms of the total amount payable at target over the three-year duration of the Plan, is equal to a pre-established percentage of up to 80% of Gross Annual Pay (GAP);
  • benefits granted under the applicable National Collective Employment Contract and company policies and practices;
  • severance payments in the event of early termination by the Company, determined in line with best market practices, as described in more detail in the paragraph, "Severance".

Short-term variable component (MBO)

The short-term incentive scheme (MBO) rewards the annual contribution of each beneficiary to Terna's performance and aligns management actions with strategic objectives in line with business priorities.

MBO objectives for Key Management Personnel are set by the Chief Executive Officer, in line with the Remuneration Policy and with the general criteria set by the Remuneration Committee.

Access to the MBO scheme is subject to a performance gate (budgeted EBITDA range) and is structured according to the following format:

Performance gate:
Budgeted EBITDA range
Weighting Weighting Weighting Weighting
Group objectives 40% Cross-cutting objectives 20% Individual objectives 30% Qualitative objective 10%
Objectives common to all
beneficiaries
Objectives common to several
departments based on particular
business priorities or initiatives
Specific objectives
tied to the role
Assessed on the basis of
management behaviours in the
Leadership Framework

Payment of the short-term incentive (MBO) to Key Management Personnel follows the Remuneration Committee's assessment, with the support of the People Organization and Change department, of achievement of the performance objectives assigned annually.

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

The amount of the incentive actually disbursed varies according to the level of achievement of targets linked to the single objectives (and therefore related to the scores achieved by each KPI) which are specific to each role:

* The percentages of GAP shown in the graph refer to the maximum bonus obtainable for each level of overall achievement of the objectives.

If the weighted average score for the individual objectives is below 80%, nothing is due. In the event of overperformance, the bonus is capped at the maximum attainable level (150%).

The short-term incentive scheme is not subject to deferral mechanisms. This decision was taken in view of the following elements:

  • the Company's risk profile and the sector in which it operates;
  • the presence of a long-term incentive scheme and its relative weighting with respect to the fixed component and the short-term variable component;
  • the use of a rolling long-term incentive scheme that takes the form of annual awards, with a three-year vesting period and a two-year lock-up period;
  • the existence of clawback provisions.

The Company may recognize extraordinary bonuses - also by providing retention mechanisms and alignment with the interests of shareholders - in order to remunerate the value created for the shareholders in the context of transactions and projects of an extraordinary nature or with reference to transactions of an extraordinary nature and with a significant impact on the business, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors, without prejudice to the controls on transactions with related parties pursuant to the Procedure for Related Party Transactions, where applicable. This provision can also be extended to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager.

Long-term variable component (LTI)

In line with the terms applicable to the General Manager, Key Management Personnel may also participate in the longterm Performance Share Plan 2024-2028.

The new Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 for Key Management Personnel involves the same performance objectives as assigned to the General Manager, with the same weightings and the same score curves, as well as the same vesting and lock-up periods and settlement procedures.

The above description of the Plan for the General Manager also applies in its entirety to Key Management Personnel, with the exception of the bonus achievable and aspects relating to payment in the event of early termination of the relationship, which are governed by the specific provisions described below.

A summary of the characteristics and bonuses achievable at target for KMP is provided below:

INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE SHARE
Vesting period 2024-2028
30% FFO / Average Net Debt over the three-year period
Objectives 20% Cumulative EBITDA over the three-year period
20% Relative TSR
30% Overgeneration
Achievable bonus grant date. Percentages of the incentive to be converted into Performance Shares of up to 80% of Gross Annual Pay (GAP),
based on the total amount over the three-years covered by the LTI Plan, if the weighted average of the scores
for the individual objectives is at target (100%) and based on the value of Terna's shares with respect to the

In the event of termination of the relationship with KMP prior to award of the Shares for reasons other than the following:

• dismissal for disciplinary reasons;

• resignation without just cause;

and, therefore, also in the event of termination of the relationship by mutual consent, the right to the award of a portion of the Shares on a prorated basis will be maintained (for the beneficiary or their heirs or successors), based on an assessment of the performance achieved at the date of termination.

FOCUS

Clawback and Malus Provisions

The variable portion of the remuneration paid to the Key Management Personnel is also subject to clawback provisions, requiring the repayment of any amounts already paid within the statute of limitations envisaged by current legislation and whether or not the relationship is still in place or has been terminated. Malus provisions also apply, giving the Company the right to withhold any part of the incentive subject to deferral, where applicable, if there is evidence that payment of the bonus was made on the basis of information that is manifestly inaccurate or misleading, in the event of serious and intentional breaches of the law, the Code of Ethics or company regulations, in the event of fraudulent conduct or gross negligence on the part of the beneficiary to the detriment of the Company or one of the Group Companies. The application of these provisions is nevertheless without prejudice to any other action permitted by the law in order to protect the interests of the Company.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

Signing bonuses and one-off bonuses

Signing bonuses are payable, in exceptional circumstances, to newly hired Key Management Personnel on entry to the company. This is done solely in order to attract very senior management personnel with areas of expertise that are critical for the business.

Key Management Personnel may also be eligible for a one-off bonus for the purpose of retention.

The maximum amount in either case, considered individually, may not exceed the target variable remuneration set by the Policy.

Benefits

In keeping with the Policy implemented, the benefits package for Key Management Personnel has been determined in accordance with the terms of the related National Collective Employment Contract and of the company policies and practices applicable to management personnel in general:

  • contributions to a supplementary pension fund (FONDENEL);
  • enrolment in a supplementary medical insurance scheme (ASEM);
  • life and permanent disability insurance;
  • a company car for personal use;
  • occupational and non-occupational accident insurance.

Non-competition agreements

Where the termination of the relationship with Key Management Personnel in possession of particularly important expertise and skills may expose the Company to risk, the Company may apply non-competition agreements. The related payment must remain within the limits set by company policy, which makes reference to the disbursement of one year's pay under agreements with a duration of one year.

Severance

In the event of early termination of the employment relationship by the Company, payments may be made in the form of early retirement incentives on the basis of ex-ante agreements or as agreed on termination, taking into account the degree of responsibility assigned and the service provided.

In particular, newly appointed managers9 (promoted from within or hired from outside the Company), other than in cases of dismissal for disciplinary reasons for just cause or resignation of the manager for reasons other than just cause, may receive a severance payment amounting to up to 24 months' pay (being fixed and short-term variable remuneration calculated in accordance with the Policy), in addition to a payment in lieu of notice (fixed and short-term variable remuneration calculated in accordance with the Policy) pursuant to art. 2121 of the Italian Civil Code. These severance payments are not linked to performance.

It should be noted that, under the same conditions, the manager retains the rights awarded under the incentive schemes and that, in the event of termination prior to the end of their term of office, the rights will be calculated on a prorated basis and awarded on the basis of the assessment of performance at the end of the vesting period. In any event, bonuses are awarded when the plans mature.

9 The terms established in the Remuneration Policy for 2023 continue to apply to managers in service during the period in which the Policy was effective.

Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2024 Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

Introduction

This section is divided into two parts covering the following aspects:

  • Part one: the different elements that make up remuneration (including severance and termination payments), indicating consistency with the related remuneration policy;
  • Part two: table showing the remuneration paid to members of management and oversight bodies, the General Manager and information on shareholdings in the Company held by such persons and the remuneration paid to Key Management Personnel.

This section is put to a non-binding vote by the Annual General Meeting, as required by Art. 123-ter of Legislative Decree 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Law on Finance" or CLF, as amended by Legislative Decree 49 of 10 May 2019), which states in paragraph 6: "Without prejudice to the provisions [...] the annual general meeting called [...] shall vote for or against section two of the report provided for in paragraph 4. The result of the vote is not binding".

In addition, the Independent Auditors engaged to audit the accounts verifies that this Section of the Report has been prepared by the Directors, as required by Art.123-ter of the CLF (as amended by the Legislative Decree of 10 May 2019).

The remuneration paid to the members of management and oversight bodies and to the General Manager is described by name; the remuneration paid to Key Management Personnel10 is, in contrast, reported in aggregate form.

Implementation of the Policy, to the extent verified by the Remuneration Committee when conducting the periodic assessment required by the Corporate Governance Code, has remained in line with the general principles established in Board of Directors' resolutions. Detailed information on each component of remuneration, including severance or termination payments, is provided in Section I.

The separate components of remuneration are in keeping with the Policy approved by the Board of Directors in 2023 and put to a binding vote by the Annual General Meeting held on 9 May 2023, in accordance with art. 123-ter, paragraph 6 of the CLF, which voted in favour of the Policy.

10 In accordance with CONSOB Resolution 18049, KMP who during the year did not receive remuneration that was higher in value than the total pay received by the members of management and oversight bodies or by the General Manager.

Part one

1. The Company's performance in 2023

2023 continued to be marked by continual upheaval. Despite the resulting economic and financial tensions, Terna recorded an exceptional performance, confirming the solidity of the business and showing further proof of the organisation's ability to react and adapt to unforeseen circumstances.

In particular, the Group recorded an improvement in net profit of €28 million compared with last year and of €109 million in EBITDA. The Group's capital expenditure amounted to €2,290 million, an increase of €533 million. Finally, assets entering service amounted to €2,043 million, an increase of €435 million.

Despite the negative impact on financial markets of the ongoing geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures and the energy crisis, as at 31 December 2023 Terna's Total Shareholder Return was positive at 14.13%.

Furthermore, Terna guaranteed an excellent level of service, also in terms of regulated energy not supplied, with a final balance of 507 MWh against a Target set by ARERA of 763 MWh. With regard to output-based incentives, ARERA resolution 367 of 3 August 2023 set a reward of €796 million for activity carried out in 2022 in order to reduce dispatching costs (DSM incentives). In addition, ARERA resolution 473 of 17 October 2023 set the reward for increasing interzonal transport capacity in 2022 and for capex efficiencies in relation to this work at a total of €36 million with reference to the period 2021-2023 (interzonal incentives). In addition, ARERA resolution 26 of 3 February 2023 awarded Terna a bonus of €150 million for the progress made in resolving grid constraints due to voltage regulation within market areas and improving conditions for essential service provision between 2019 and 2021 (intrazonal incentives).

Occupational health and safety has always represented a key priority for Terna; in fact, the injury rate among Terna employees in 2023 is below the figure for the previous year and significantly below the average injury rate for the threeyear period 2020-2022 period, with a safety indicator of 0.56; the number of injuries to contractors' personnel was higher than the average for the three-year period 2020-2022, bringing the indicator to zero.

Finally, in terms of ESG indices, in 2023 Terna was once again listed on:

  • the Bloomberg GEI, the international index that measures corporate performance on gender equality issues and the quality and transparency of public reporting;
  • the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World, confirming itself in the leading group which only includes 8 electric utilities worldwide and in the top decile among the companies evaluated by Standard & Poor's through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment;
  • the MIB® ESG, Italy's blue-chip index focusing on ESG best practices and based on the score issued by the rating agency Moody's ESG;
  • the STOXX Global ESG Leaders, indices based on the scores issued by the rating agency Sustainalytics, which selects the best-performing securities in terms of ESG among those in the STOXX® Global index.

Please refer to the Integrated Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 for a description of the main factors that characterised operations in 2023.

Outcome of votes on remuneration paid (2020-2023)

Section II: Report on remuneration paid in 2023

2. Outcome of shareholder votes and feedback

As required by art. 123-ter of the CLF (as amended by the Legislative Decree of 10 May 2019), the Annual General Meeting of 18 May 2020 was invited for the first time to hold an advisory vote on Section II of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid. The following chart shows the outcome of the non-binding votes on Section II of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid, from 2020 to 2023.

The outcome of this vote and feedback from investors and proxy advisors on the remuneration paid in 2022 was analysed by Terna in 2023, together with observations received on Section I of the Report. Terna thus took the views and opinions expressed into account in preparing this Report on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid, without prejudice to existing contractual commitments and the labour law restrictions of the Italian Civil Code.

3. Ratio of fixed to variable remuneration paid

In compliance with the requirements introduced in the revised Regulations for Issuers, this paragraph provides details of the ratio of fixed to variable remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager in office from 9 May 2023 in 2023. Specifically, the computation took into account the fixed remuneration shown in column 1 of Table 1 and the variable non-equity remuneration shown in column 3 of the same table.

Actual pay mix 2023 – Chief Executive Officer and General Manager in office from 9 May 2023

52.9% 47.1%
0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% 70.0% 80.0% 90.0% 100.0%
Fixed remuneration Variable remuneration

The following paragraphs include a detailed description of the single components of pay taken into account.

It should be noted that there are no variable components of pay linked to the Company's or the Group's financial performance in the case of other members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

4. Fixed remuneration

Non-executive Directors

Non-executive Directors were paid a prorated amount of the fixed remuneration established by the Annual General Meeting of 18 May 2020 (€35,000 per year for each Director) for those in office from 1 January 2023 to 9 May 2023 and a prorated amount of the fixed remuneration established by the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2023 (€35,000 per year for each Director) for those in office from 9 May 2023 to 31 December 2023.

Chair
