Letter from the Chair
of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee
Dear Shareholders,

As Chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, I would like to introduce the Report on the Remuneration Policy for 2026 and on the Remuneration paid for 2025, structured as provided for by art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance and approved by the Board of Directors on March 26, 2026; this is a good opportunity to provide a clear, exhaustive and transparent illustration, addressed to Shareholders and all stakeholders, of Terna's Remuneration Policy for 2026 and of the remuneration paid to the Company's Directors, Statutory Auditors and Key Management Personnel in 2025.
Terna operates Italy's high and very-high-voltage National Transmission Grid (NTG), one of the most modern and technologically advanced in Europe. It is the continent's largest independent transmission system operator and one of the leading operators in the world with more than 75 thousand kilometres of lines. As a Transmission System Operator (TSO), Terna not only has to design a grid capable of dealing with the
progressive decarbonisation and the ever-growing integration of renewable sources (Transmission Operator), but also ensure that, moment by moment, consumer demand for energy is constantly balanced with production, through dispatching activities (System Operator). To pursue this important task, the company requires cutting-edge expertise and advanced technological skills. In 2025, in fact, the Group's commitment in the field of higher education and collaboration with the academic world continued, in synergy with the Universities of Salerno, Cagliari and Palermo (fourth edition of the 2nd Level Master's Degree "Digitisation of the electricity system for the energy transition") and with the Polytechnics of Milan, Turin and Bari (as part of the PoliTech Lab, the new 2nd Level Master's Degree in "Innovation in Electrical Energy Systems").
It is worth noting that the Remuneration Policy must be consistent with and serve the objectives the Group intends to achieve. Every year, Terna engages with the market through intensive dialogue with investors and stakeholders, thorough benchmarking studies, and the identification of international best practices – aided by specialist advisors – to find new ideas and inspiration and continue refining its remuneration policy systems, which are already well-established and widely recognised, whilst, of course, always complying with the regulatory framework and contractual obligations in force.
The complex analysis process implemented by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, supported by the Company's effective managerial structures, has led - in a nutshell - to the following proposals for 2026, endorsed by the Board of Directors at the meeting to approve the Annual Report:
- Remuneration of the Chair, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, non-executive Directors, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors: no change.
- Short-term incentive (STI): continuous improvement in the definition of the most challenging KPIs, with reference, for example, to Investments (in order to ensure effective management of Capex in support of execution and consistent with the incentive mechanism for the correct forecasting of investments introduced by ARERA) and the Reduction of Behavioural Accidents (with the introduction of new challenges for 2026).
TERNA S.P.A. AND TERNA GROUP
Report on the Remuneration Policy for 2026 and Remuneration paid in 2025
CERTIFIED
- Long-term incentive (LTI): reduction in the overlap between STI and LTI, with the removal of EBITDA from the KPIs of the new 2026–2030 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and a corresponding increase in the Industrial/ESG component, with the weight previously assigned to EBITDA being allocated to the Connections KPI.
- Disclosures: in the interests of ever-greater transparency, various changes have been introduced, including a new presentation of the key risk mitigation factors included in Terna’s Remuneration Policy; an increasingly detailed description of employees’ working conditions and remuneration; a clear presentation of the remuneration package offered; greater clarity within the STI framework regarding the consequences of fatal accidents on workplace safety KPIs (cancellation of the bonus) and on the methods for setting targets, which in some cases are established directly by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA).
Worth emphasising is also the importance of the leadership model and value system, which are essential in an excellent and high-performing company: an inclusive and collaborative work environment, respect for all stakeholders, and a widespread culture of merit are essential and indispensable elements. Empowerment, accountability and pay for performance are “vital components” of operational management; it is clear that the framework of values and leadership outlined here serves as a kind of “strategic compass” designed to guide Terna’s management in its actions.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude first and foremost to Enrico Tommaso Cucchiani, who led the Committee until 29 July 2025. Furthermore, I would like to highlight the collaborative approach and the effective contribution made by the members of the Committee, Regina Corradini D’Arienzo, Karina Audrey Litvack, Simona Signoracci and Paolo Damilano, who have held this position since 29 September 2025. I would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support of the General Legal and Corporate Affairs Department.
Dear Shareholders, the Remuneration and Nominations 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,
Gian Luca Gregori

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 2026 – describing the policy adopted by Terna for 2026 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 2025 – setting out details of the remuneration paid in 2025, 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.
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, para. 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 para. 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 para. 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 Issuers' Regulation, 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 Issuers' Regulation on 11 December 2020.
Report on the Remuneration Policy for 2026 and Remuneration paid in 2025
CERTIFIED
On 26 March 2026, Terna's Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nominations 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 General Meeting of Shareholders, whilst Section II, containing the "Report on remuneration paid" and providing detailed information on pay in 2025, is subject to a non-binding vote at the General Meeting of Shareholders 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 adopted an approach that is largely consistent with previous years. In this sense, their representation in the following paragraphs is to be understood as guidelines of Terna's Remuneration Policy for 2026, defined in compliance with the prerogatives of the Annual General Meeting and the Board of Directors that will be appointed for the 2026-2028 term of office.
It is recalled, in fact, that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.
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 2025, 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.

Report on the Remuneration Policy for 2026 and Remuneration paid in 2025
Executive Summary
Section I: Report on the remuneration policy for 2026
SECTION II: Report on remuneration paid in 2025
1. Summary of the main changes in this Report
The guidelines for the Remuneration Policy for 2026 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 Issuers' Regulation, and is produced in line with the resolutions of the Board of Directors for the 2023-2025 term of office⁴.
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 2026
Below are the main changes introduced in the 2026 Remuneration Policy:
- Short-term incentive (STI): continuous improvement in the definition of the most challenging KPIs, with reference, for example, to Investments (in order to ensure effective management of Capex in support of execution and consistent with the incentive mechanism for the correct forecasting of investments introduced by ARERA) and the Reduction of Behavioural Accidents (with the introduction of new challenges for 2026).
- Long-term incentive (LTI): reduction in the overlap between STI and LTI, with the removal of EBITDA from the KPIs of the new 2026-2030 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and a corresponding increase in the Industrial/ESG component, with the weight previously assigned to EBITDA being allocated to the Connections KPI.
- Disclosures: in the interests of ever-greater transparency, various changes have been introduced, including a new presentation of the key risk mitigation factors included in Terna's Remuneration Policy; an increasingly detailed description of employees' working conditions and remuneration; a clear presentation of the remuneration package offered; greater clarity within the STI framework regarding the consequences of fatal accidents on workplace safety KPIs (cancellation of the bonus) and on the methods for setting targets, which in some cases are established directly by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA).
⁴ It is recalled that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.

REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR 2026 AND REMUNERATION PAID IN 2025
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 and continuous communication process pursued during the year. The main departments involved are Human Resources, General, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Administration, Finance and Control, Strategy, Digital and Sustainability, also with the support of an independent consulting firm.
To this end, Terna has continued the engagement activities, holding a series of meetings with the institutional investors and proxy advisors in the period between January and March 2026. 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 General Meeting of Shareholders of 21 May 2025. In particular, meetings were held to discuss the outcome of the voting on the 2025 Remuneration Report and to present the new features of this Report. The investors invited to participate in this off-season engagement activity, selected also taking into account the voting positions they expressed at the last General Meeting of Shareholders, represented about 27% of the share capital, or about 54% of the capital held by institutional investors.
Moreover, the off-season engagement activity conducted by the Company also involved the most influential proxy advisors in the Italian market, i.e. ISS and Glass Lewis, with the aim of gathering their feedback and providing Terna's rationale behind the matters subject to their analysis and recommendation.
The shareholder and proxy advisors engagement activity took place in a dynamic, collaborative and proactive atmosphere, and analysts and investors generally appreciated the dialogue initiative and practices implemented by the Company, also emphasising their importance in order to guarantee the protection of the interests of investors in general. This process provided the departments responsible for Terna's remuneration policies and the Remuneration and Nominations 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 meetings, various topics were discussed related to the Company's remuneration package approved by the 2025 General Meeting of Shareholders and the changes made to it in this 2026 Remuneration Report, as well as other aspects related to the Company's strategy, ESG initiatives, and the composition of the Board of Directors and its Committees. Therefore, the engagement meetings were confirmed as a fundamental tool to guide the work of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and Terna's structures and ensure an effective dialogue channel to explain the rationale underlying the remuneration policies and incorporate observations from shareholders.
Executive
Summary
Section I: Report on the
remuneration policy for 2026
Section II: Report on
remuneration paid in 2025
This feedback, together with the results of the activities carried out in the year and the outcome of votes on remuneration resolutions at the 2025 General Meeting of Shareholders, as well as the voting policies adopted by key investors and proxy advisors, was taken into account when defining the Remuneration Policy for 2026. The Policy contains the following elements:
| FEEDBACK | TERNA'S REMUNERATION POLICY |
|---|---|
| Remuneration policy for executive Directors | |
| General appreciation for the Remuneration Policy also with regard to information transparency, although there are still some areas for improvement. | |
| The actions taken by the company following the results of the previous Annual General Meeting’s vote on remuneration are to be further clarified. | Terna’s Remuneration Policy has been further refined, particularly with regard to: |
| - connection with the Group’s strategy and the related description of the performance metrics of the incentive systems, in particular the mechanism for zeroing the bonus in the event of a fatality. | |
| - Terna’s constant commitment and significant investment in engagement activities with all the Stakeholders was presented in detail. | |
| Performance based pay | |
| General non-critical remarks on short- and long-term KPIs. | Reduction in the overlap between STI and LTI, with the removal of EBITDA from the KPIs of the new 2026–2030 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and a corresponding increase in the Industrial/ESG component, with the weight previously assigned to EBITDA being allocated to the Connections KPI. |
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 2026.
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.
TERA
The outcomes of shareholder votes on Remuneration Reports between 2021 and 2025 are shown below.
In the face of the percentage increase in favourable voters between 2024 (73.16%) and 2025 (89.86%), with an almost unchanged quorum, Terna, encouraged by the results obtained at the last Annual General Meeting, which registered a large majority of investors in support, has nevertheless maintained a strong control over the requests of its shareholders, also repeating during the current year an intense engagement activity, in order to assess further areas for improvement and maintain an effective dialogue channel with the market, supplementary and more qualifying than the mere shareholder vote.

2.2 Risk mitigation factors
Below are the safeguards and tools included in the Remuneration Policy in order to mitigate risk-taking by management and encourage the creation of sustainable value for Shareholders in the long term.
| RISK MITIGATION FACTORS | VARIABLE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES | LONG-TERM VARIABLE INCENTIVES |

| Pay mix which provides for a relative weight of the long-term incentive greater than the weight of the short-term incentive | ✓ | ✓ |
| Alignment of the KPI achievement thresholds with the provisions of the Strategic Plan | ✓ | ✓ |
| Presence of a shareholding in the bonus payable | ✓ | |
| Provision of a cap on the maximum amount of the variable incentive | ✓ | ✓ |
| Existence of Malus and Claw-back mechanisms | ✓ | ✓ |

2.4 Remuneration benchmarking
Chief Executive Officer and General Manager
Given that the pay package for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager has remained unchanged, it was analysed by an independent advisor, who conducted a benchmarking analysis using a group of peers in the energy sector.
A list of the main companies (Italian and European) included in the peer group for benchmarking the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager in recent years is shown below:
| A2A |
|---|
| Acea |
| Enagas |
| Enel |
| Hera |
| Iren |
| Italgas |
| --- |
| National Grid |
| Redeia |
| Severn Trent |
| Snam |
| United Utilities Group |
Key Management Personnel
In the case of Key Management Personnel, the Remuneration and Nominations 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 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 companies included in the peer group for benchmarking the remuneration of Key Management Personnel in recent years is shown below:
| Enedis |

| Mundys |
| Axpo |
| BP |
| Brembo |

The latest benchmarking exercise shows that the total remuneration of Key Management Personnel is around the first quartile of the market.
2.5 Pay mix
Chief Executive Officer and General Manager
With reference to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, the pay mix is a representation of the remuneration components in the various possible performance scenarios, which are in line with the 2023-2025 term of office⁶.
It should also be noted that at the target level, the total remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager (which has remained stable in the last 3 terms of office despite the growth of inflation and pay markets) is as follows:
- €1,085,000 as Fixed Remuneration
- 46% of the Fixed Remuneration at the target level by way of Short-Term Incentive (STI)
- 97% of the Fixed Remuneration at the target level by way of Long-Term Incentive (LTI)

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.

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 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 composed of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent, 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.

The composition of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee is dealt with in the following paragraph.
In accordance with statutory requirements and the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is vested with the following responsibilities with regard to the Remuneration Policy:

The Board may also delegate its authority to an Executive Committee consisting of a number of Board members or one or more of its members, including the Chair, determining the content, limits and procedures for exercising the delegated authority in compliance with art. 2381 of the Italian Civil Code and determining the related fees in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors.
All persons (including the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager) abstain during discussion of or voting on their own remuneration.
The commitment actually required from the Directors and members of the Oversight Body is shown below. The Board of Directors held 9 meetings in 2025. All the meetings were attended by all members of the Committee (98%) and the average duration was approximately 2 hours and 46 minutes.
Remuneration and Nominations Committee
Composition
Terna's Remuneration Committee was established in 2004.
As of 23 October 2024, the Committee also assumed the tasks related to nominations and was therefore named the Remuneration and Nominations Committee; in the following pages, reference will always be made only to the tasks related to Remuneration.
At the date of approval of this Report, the Remuneration and Nominations Committee is made up entirely of non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent - in compliance with art. 147-ter, para. 3 of the CLF and art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code. One member (Karina Audrey Litvack) is a Director elected from the slate submitted by a group of shareholders consisting of asset management companies and other institutional investors, which obtained the highest number of votes. Moreover, in line with the Corporate Governance Code, at least one member of the Committee has suitable knowledge and experience in financial matters or remuneration policies, as assessed by the Board of Directors at the time of appointment. It should be noted that the Board of Directors, which will be elected by the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2026, will appoint the new Remuneration Committee for the 2026-2028 term of office.
Composition of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee (at the date of approval of this Report):
| NAME | ROLE | |
|---|---|---|
| Gian Luca Gregori | Chair | |
| Regina Corradini D'Arienzo | Member | |

N.B.: It should be noted that the position of Chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee until 29 July 2025 was held by the non-executive and independent Director, Enrico Tommaso Cucchiani. Director Cucchiani resigned from his position as Director on 28 May 2025 with effect from the appointment of the replacement, which took place on 29 July 2025 with the appointment by co-optation of the non-executive and independent Director Paolo Damilano. On the same date, the Board of Directors appointed Director Gian Luca Gregori, previously a member of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee, as Chair of that committee.
TERA

THE ACTIVITY CYCLE OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE
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 art. 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 and Nominations Committee, and is made up of the following three statutory auditors:
- Mario Matteo Busso - Chairman
- Lorenzo Pozza - Auditor
- Antonella Tomei - Auditor
In 2025, the Board of Statutory Auditors, through its members, participated in 13 meetings of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee (out of a total of 14 Committee 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:
Remuneration and Nominations Committee prepares and recommends the Policy
Independent experts are involved, if necessary
The Board of Directors approves and adopts the Policy
The General Meeting of Shareholders holds a binding vote on Section I and a non-binding vote on Section II of the Report
- the Remuneration and Nominations 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 Human Resources Department and basing its analyses on the information and the work of the departments needed in order to carry out its role;
-
the Remuneration and Nominations Committee may call upon independent experts in the field;
-
the Remuneration and Nominations 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;
-
the Board of Directors, having examined and approved the Policy, puts it to the vote at the General Meeting of Shareholders, which holds a binding vote on Section I and a non-binding vote on Section II¹¹.
Should the General Meeting of Shareholders not approve the Remuneration Policy following the vote held in accordance with para. 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 Annual General Meeting of shareholders provided for in art. 2364, para. 2 of the Italian Civil Code, or of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders provided for in art. 2364-bis, para. 2 of the Code.
In exceptional circumstances, Terna may temporarily derogate from its remuneration policies, as permitted by art. 123-ter, para. 3-bis of the CLF and art. 84-quater, para. 2-bis, letter c) of the Issuers' Regulation. 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.
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 and Nominations Committee and, where envisaged, having previously activated the Procedure for Related-Party 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:
¹¹ 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 June 2021 following a proposal made by the Related-Party Transactions Committee on 14 June 2021 and formal amendments of 28 February 2022 and 17 February 2025) excludes the following from the scope of the Procedure: shareholder resolutions pursuant to art. 2389, para. 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 art. 2389, para. three of the Italian Civil Code, and shareholder resolutions pursuant to art. 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 art. 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 approved by the Annual General Meeting; 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.
TERA
REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR 2026 AND REMUNERATION PAID IN 2025
- the fixed component of remuneration, in cases when, for example, it becomes necessary to replace, due to unforeseen events, the Chief Executive Officer and 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 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 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.
3.3 Independent experts and other parties involved
For many years, Terna has relied on the support of leading consultancy firms specialising in Executive Compensation, covering a range of areas including remuneration analyses, specific studies on remuneration, and best practices for the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid.
The Human Resources 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 and Nominations 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.
The Human Resources, Administration, Finance and Control, General, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Strategy, Digital and Sustainability Departments support the drafting process of this Report, which is then submitted to the Remuneration and Nominations Committee.

OUTPUTS

TERA
The Terna Group's process for creating value over time¹³ is guided by a Governance oriented towards sustainable success that aims to define and implement a clear medium- and long-term strategy. Based on the guidelines contained within the 2025 Development Plan and the 2024-2028 Industrial Plan update, this strategy aims to foster and realise an energy and digital transition that also takes into account social impacts (a so-called just transition). Crucial to the achievement of this strategic objective is the correct allocation of resources, undertaking investments that aim to enhance and improve the efficiency and resilience of the National Transmission Grid (NTG) while ensuring an adequate assessment and management of economic and financial risks, including those of an ESG nature connected to the business, and of the possible opportunities related to them. In presenting its business model and any updates, among other things the Terna Group takes into account the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with significant areas of activity that could potentially occur in its own operations or those related to the value chain, in order to make it more resilient and adaptable to changes in the external context.
In line with the enabling factors of the 2024-2028 Industrial Plan Update, the Terna Group's business model is structured into two main distinct areas of activity (Regulated Activities and Non-regulated Activities) that correspond to the core business (Electricity Transmission and Dispatching) and the complementary strand, respectively, that operates in the free market, with a new structure for the Terna Group's market subsidiary that integrates diversified skills along the entire energy value chain for the design, engineering, operation and maintenance of solutions for the energy market.
The capitals represent the essential resources at the Terna Group'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. Capital plays a fundamental role within the value creation process since it is an input of the process, measurable from one year to the next (on the left side of the infographic), an output, to be understood as the set of products, services, by-products and waste of an organisation (in the upper right hand of the infographic), and an outcome, to be understood as the process's ability to increase new resources and ensure their transformation in line with the objectives set by the Terna Group (on the right). As mentioned above, the capital that the Terna Group considers to create value and achieve its corporate objectives is both tangible – specifically, financial capital and infrastructure capital, represented by all of Terna's assets – and intangible – specifically, intellectual capital, human capital and social-relational capital.
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 7 (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.
¹³ Terna has adopted the principle-based framework proposed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the guiding principles of which are: (1) strategic focus and future orientation, (2) Connectivity of information, (3) Stakeholder relationships, (4) Materiality, (5) Conciseness, (6) Reliability and completeness, and (7) Consistency and comparability. Their almost total coincidence with the guiding principles in the GRI standard 101 – Foundation setting out the content of quality ESG reporting further strengthens the structure of this Report.
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 2026 aims to guide the Group's management towards its strategic objectives while fully complying with the value creation model¹⁴.
In particular, in relation to the choice of indicators underlying the incentive schemes, the remuneration policy is geared towards the achievement of ESG objectives, with short- and long-term incentives linked to measures to combat climate change.
First and foremost, this refers to the target, which is also included in the new Performance Share Plan 2026-2030, directly linked to the implementation of the energy transition, which rewards the maximisation of production from non-programmable renewable sources and promotes their integration into the national electricity system, minimising overgeneration. This objective ensures the efficient inclusion of non-programmable renewable sources in the production mix fed into the grid. Therefore, it is decisive and can be linked to the reduction of the emission factor affecting Terna's Science Based Target. This applies, in particular, to the achievement of the Scope 2 emission target, accounting for 96% of the base year value (2019).
In addition, the Performance Share Plan 2026-2030 also confirmed the objective, called "Connessioni (Connections)", which measures the entry into operation of new capacity deriving from renewable sources functional to the energy transition and is related to the fight against climate change.
Finally, other objectives were also confirmed in 2026 - for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and for the executives with strategic responsibility - relating to the development of the network infrastructure, such as, for example, quality of service, output incentives (DSM and inter-zonal) and investments and entries into service related to the regulated sector, which are the basis for the country's transition to a zero-carbon economy.
Still on the subject of ESG objectives, it is worth mentioning the long-standing presence of short-term objectives related to the safety of Terna's workers and contractors. In particular, Terna's safety is monitored through three KPIs, namely a Workplace safety indicator (calculated as a weighted arithmetic average of the Injury Rate and the Lost Day Rate and valued by comparing the year's trend to the average trend of the previous three years); a KPI relating to the Reduction of Behavioural Accidents, which acts on the behaviours of individuals throughout the work activity; a KPI relating to the safety of contractors, which monitors the accidents occurring to the personnel of the contractor companies operating at Terna's sites.
¹⁴ It is recalled that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.
TERA
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.
For 2026, the following objectives set in relation to short-term incentives have been confirmed:
- in terms of operating performance, the Group's EBITDA and Net Profit;
- in terms of Regulated Activities, Output-based incentives" both DSM and Interzonal, "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, Reduction of Behavioural Accidents and injuries to contractors' personnel, to ensure Terna's continued focus on issues relating to sustainability.
Further information is provided in paragraph 4.7 "Remuneration of Key Management Personnel – short-term variable component (STI)".
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 2026-2030 long-term incentive plan, it was decided to:
- within the scope of operating performance:
- confirmation of FFO on Net Debt with weighting of 30%, in order to ensure the Group's financial sustainability
- within the scope of the market performance:
- confirmation of the Total Shareholder Return with weighting of 15%, in order to continue to ensure the best alignment between management and shareholder interests
- within the scope of Industrial/ESG performance:
- confirmation of overgeneration with weighting of 30%
- confirmation of the "Connections" indicator and increase in relative weight from 10% to 25% in order to further strengthen the objectives related to the energy transition.
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 than 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 certification on gender equality obtained in accordance with UNI PdR 125.2022 in March 2024 represents a further safeguard within Terna's DE&I policies. This certification is part of the company's broader strategy, which confirms it as one of the most inclusive organisations committed to promoting gender equality. Proof of this is Terna's inclusion in Standard & Poor's Gender Equality & Inclusion Index, the new international index launched in August 2021, which evaluates the performance of listed companies in terms of gender equality and inclusion. Furthermore, Terna's commitment translates into 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 establishment of the Gender Equality Steering Committee, which oversees the implementation of the Gender Equality Strategic Plan. The Plan establishes concrete and measurable objectives over the three-year certification period and envisages initiatives to foster an inclusive corporate culture, including: activities raising awareness on gender stereotypes, welfare policies for work-life balance, competence-based selection processes and growth paths for female leadership. Monitoring is done through performance indicators and periodic reviews, with the Committee meeting at least twice a year to assess progress and update actions according to business needs. Terna also takes a structured approach in analysing the Gender Pay Gap, regularly monitoring pay data to ensure pay equity. All remuneration policies are based on equity and performance criteria, ensuring that salary is defined solely on the basis of role and responsibility, regardless of gender.
-
The TERNABILITY project, with which Terna is committed to going beyond legal obligations to create the best conditions to enable people belonging to protected categories to enter and fully participate in working life, acting on their growth process and on the causes that generate inequalities, to fully grasp the value and social innovation of the programme. In 2025, to reinforce this commitment, the new Strategic Plan for the inclusion of people with disabilities was formalised and communicated, with nine tangible and measurable objectives to be achieved year after year and over the three-year period of validity of the Plan, including: promoting greater sensitivity on the issue of disabilities, in particular invisible ones, making available TERNABILITY Corners, spaces in which people with disabilities, caregivers and teams can find support and guidance, publishing a disability Toolkit, to increase awareness of support tools and benefits. All these measures are aimed at supporting and promoting equity in the management of people with disabilities, including with respect to their growth and remuneration.
-
The distribution of the value created by our community of people through the application of the agreement with trade unions on the Performance Bonus and opportunities linked to forms of corporate welfare, continuing to achieve significant results in terms of interest and usage. To this end, in line with the relevant legislation, the platform has been adapted, guaranteeing a higher threshold in terms of fringe benefits.
In the field of Welfare and Parenting, in 2025 Terna signed an agreement with the Trade Unions that further improves the current company system regarding work-life balance for parents, family assistance, people's wellbeing and supplementary pensions. In particular, the agreement provides for an increase in the number of days of paid leave for fathers following the birth of a child, bringing the total to 7 days – in addition to the statutory leave entitlement – a 15% increase in allowances for periods of parental leave, in addition to the statutory provisions; an increase in the number of days of leave for particularly serious circumstances and for family care; and a contribution of up to 60% towards nursery fees for parents.

In the area of psychophysical well-being, employees can access an online platform offering a network of gyms at preferential rates and digital content to help them look after themselves. In addition, the Welfare package includes a network of special offers across a wide range of product categories, a tax advisory service, and Intercultura scholarships for international experiences aimed at employees' children. During 2025, a complete service dedicated to well-being for employees and their families was also introduced, which includes the possibility of enjoying sessions with certified professionals and support services divided into three macro areas: emotional, physical and practical, accessible 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, through different channels (online and in person) completely reserved.
During 2025, the Academy strengthened its role as a tool to accompany organisational and technological changes, expanding and diversifying the training offer in order to support the continuous updating of skills and the evolution of professional roles. In particular, the self-learning offering has been expanded, based on a microlearning approach and short, targeted digital content, designed to facilitate learning in time-constrained situations and cater to different learning styles. As part of this initiative, a new educational format was trialled in the form of a learning series supported by a chatbot, with the aim of increasing participant engagement and providing active support in applying the content.
Synchronous training courses open to the corporate population on the main transversal and professional skills have been launched, as well as initiatives to support the introduction of generative artificial intelligence tools in work processes, starting with the program on Microsoft Copilot. The most strategic initiatives include measures in the following areas: management training, promoting a culture of safety and operational excellence, digital skills, project management, wellbeing and sustainability, and a culture of respect.
Also this year, listening initiatives aimed at the general public included the Employee Net Promoter System (e NPS). The participation figures reflect the high level of interest, with around 85% of those eligible for the Terna group taking part. In addition to expanding the range of indicators analysed -- which now also include perceptions of adherence to the corporate strategy -- the survey examines the ability to put core values and behaviours into practice, such as respect, diversity and inclusion, and personal accountability, as well as the level of satisfaction with the welfare benefits and services provided.
Strengthening the data base and engagement enables an increasingly accurate understanding of audience engagement and organisational dynamics, thereby providing more effective support for HR and development decisions.
Other employee engagement initiatives carried out throughout the year include: structured discussions designed to generate insights and encourage everyone to get involved in the planning of HR initiatives (Focus Groups); company-wide communities focusing on topics of interest to staff and relevant to the company's strategy (Employee Resource Groups); and engagement activities aimed at all departments to improve collaboration and team effectiveness (Team Building).
The “Destinazione Terna” onboarding programme for new recruits also continued this year, designed to support their induction, integration and sense of belonging during their first 12 months.
In 2025, the scheme for public transport season tickets -- which had been in place since 2010 for offices in Rome -- was extended to the main regional offices covered by the PSCL (Commuting Plan), encompassing the offices in Pero, Turin, Padua, Florence, Rome, Naples, Palermo and Cagliari. Under the scheme, Terna will pay the cost of the travel pass in advance to local transport operators, with the employee contributing 20% of the total amount. At the same time, company shuttle services are in operation to link public transport stops with Terna's offices; these are currently running at the offices in Rome and Pero, and from 2025 will also operate in Palermo, helping to encourage the use of public transport.
FOCUS
- A no-cost e-bike rental scheme for employees has been in place since 2022, and there are also schemes available for public car-sharing, with discounted rates for fully electric vehicles and electric micromobility services.
4.2 Guidelines
In defining the Policy, the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and 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 Chair as opposed to the members of each Committee;
- the pay of the Chair of the Board of Directors consists of fixed remuneration in keeping with the role held;
- the pay of the Chief Executive Officer and, if appointed, the General Manager¹⁵, 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 Tema 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 their employment as General Manager in the event of termination of the employment relationship, unless in specific cases.
¹⁵ The Policy is applied to Key Management Personnel in the same way as it is applied to the role of General Manager.

4.4 Elements of the remuneration policy
Terna's Remuneration Policy for 2026¹⁶ consists of the following key elements:
- a fixed component of remuneration;
- a short-term variable component (STI);
- a long-term variable component (LTI);
- benefits;
- severance.
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 2026 have maintained continuity with the previous year¹⁷.
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 General Meeting of Shareholders 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.
¹⁶ It is recalled that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.

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 General Meeting of Shareholders held on 9 May 2023. In continuity with the previous Board, the fees are as follows:
| Remuneration and Nominations Committee | Sustainability, Governance and Scenarios Committee | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Chair | € 50,000 | Chair | € 50,000 |
| Member | € 40,000 | Member | € 40,000 |
| Related-Party Transactions Committee | Audit and Risk Committee | ||
| Chair | € 50,000 | Chair | € 60,000 |
| Member | € 40,000 | Member | € 40,000 |
4.5.2 Remuneration of Directors with delegated powers
Chair of the Board of Directors
For the 2023-2025 term of office, the total remuneration for the role of Chair of the Board of Directors, which remained stable over the last four terms of office despite rising inflation and wage growth, as determined by the General Meeting of Shareholders and the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023, consists solely of the fixed component, broken down as follows:

- Annual pay approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 9 May 2023 (and in accordance with art. 24.1 of Tema'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 Chair of the Board of Directors will thus receive a gross annual fixed remuneration of €238,000 for the 2023-2025 term of office.
n
REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR 2026 AND REMUNERATION PAID IN 2025
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.
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. The forms of remuneration provided for all the Managers apply to the General Manager, in addition to those listed below¹⁸.
It should be noted that the overall remuneration package for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager has remained unchanged over the last three terms of office, despite rising inflation and wage levels.
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 was determined by the General Meeting of Shareholders and the Board of Directors on 9 May 2023 and comprises:
| Pay* art. 2389, para. 1 of the Italian Civil Code | € 35,000 | Pay** art. 2389, para. 3 of the Italian Civil Code | € 200,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
- Annual pay approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 9 May 2023 (and in accordance with art. 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 summary, the total annual gross Fixed Remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager is € 1,085,000.
¹⁸ It is recalled that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.
FOCUS
CEO and GM pay ratio
Also for 2026, the Company continued to monitor the ratio between the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the corporate population.
In order to also align with the CSRD, this ratio was calculated in two ways:
As in previous years, the pay ratio is calculated as the ratio between the gross annual fixed remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the average fixed remuneration of the Terna Group workforce covered by the National Collective Labour Agreement for the Electricity Sector (the latter excluding the gross annual fixed remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager), and amounts to 22.
It should be noted that, since 2016, the pay ratio calculated in this way has decreased, given the gradual increase in employees' fixed remuneration and the simultaneous confirmation, over several terms of office, of the same fixed remuneration for the CEO and the General Manager. In particular, the pay ratio from 2016 to 2021 was 26, in 2022 and 2023 it was 25, in 2024 it was 24, in 2025 it was 23 and in 2026 it was 22.
In line with the CSRD, the pay ratio is calculated as the ratio between the total gross annual remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and the median gross annual total remuneration of the Terna Group's corporate population (the latter excluding the total gross annual remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager) and corresponds to a value of 55. It should be noted that total gross annual remuneration refers to the remuneration with the inclusion of all fixed and variable, monetary and non-monetary components.
Finally, it should be noted that the difference compared with last year's pay ratio calculated in this manner, is due to the fact that the current Chief Executive Officer and General Manager have now become fully eligible for the long-term incentive plans provided for in the Remuneration Policy.
Short-term variable component (STI)
The short-term incentive (STI) 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 and Nominations Committee, defines the STI 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 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.

n
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 2026, a particularly challenging year in view of macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.
In line with previous years, the short- and long-term variable incentive schemes established in the Remuneration Policy for 2026 also reflect the challenging nature of strategic objectives.
Short-term variable component (STI) - 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 and Nominations 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 value of the annual incentive at the target level (all ON targets met), as approved by the Board of Directors, is equal to 100% of the Chief Executive Officer's fixed remuneration (for the 2023-2025 term of office¹⁹ €200,000 gross). No sum is payable if no target is achieved. This component does not currently provide for overperformance.
The table below shows the targets defined for the year 2026:
STI objectives for 2026 – Chief Executive Office
| OBJECTIVES | WEIGHTING | SCORE CURVE |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit for 2026 – the Terna Group | 50% | ON/OFF |
| Incentives output - DSM: performance in 2026, measured with internal calculation tools in accordance with the methodology provided for in Resolution 326/24 on the measurement of volumes procured for services in 2026 less than or equal to 6 TWh | 25% | ON/OFF |
| Output-based incentives - interzonal: retention for 2026 of the restrictions on transmission made available on the MGP to confirm the incentive introduced by ARERA resolution 440/2025 (+900 MW in total). | 25% | ON/OFF |
The first of the objectives assigned to the Chief Executive Officer measures the value of Net Profit in the Budget for 2026.
The indicator represents an integrated measurement of company performance (revenue, operating costs, financial expenses, etc.) that reflects operational effectiveness and overall financial management. Furthermore, Net Profit is closely related to profitability and value creation, therefore the use of this indicator guarantees alignment with the interests of the shareholders. The score curve, based on the Net Profit forecast in the 2026 Budget, motivates the management to reach and exceed the target, favouring a management style that is particularly results-oriented.
With reference to the second objective, this measures the 2026 performance using internal calculation tools in accordance with resolution 326/24 methodology, to value volumes procured for 2026 services less than or equal to 6 TWh.
The volumes procured for services on the DSM are a measure of Terna's efficiency as the electricity system's security manager and merit-order dispatching concessionaire. Lower volumes procured mean:
- an overall reduction in CO₂, Sox and Nox emissions;
- a reduction in costs for the system (i.e. end consumers).
¹⁹ It is recalled that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364, paragraph 1, no. 3, and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.
For these reasons, ARERA introduced an incentive mechanism aimed at rewarding Terna in relation to reducing these volumes.
The last objective represents the maintenance for 2026 of the restrictions on transmission made available on the Day Ahead Market (+ 900 MW in total) to obtain the incentive introduced by ARERA resolution 440/2025. The increase in transmission capacity between market zones reduces overall system costs, reduces possible cuts in the production of renewable energy plants due to grid congestion issues between market zones and, consequently, reduces power generation emission factors.
For these reasons, ARERA confirmed for the period 2024-2027 an incentive scheme linked to the increase in transmission capacity between market zones.
Short-term variable component (STI) - General Manager
The payment of short-term incentives (STI) 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 and Nominations Committee, with the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager abstaining from the process when it applies to his/her interests.
The value of the annual incentive at the target level for the General Manager, as approved by the Board of Directors, is equal to 35.3% (for the 2023–2025²⁰ term of office €300,000) of the gross annual remuneration for the relevant position (for the 2023–2025 term of office €850,000)
For 2026, the targets assigned to the General Manager are shown in the table below, with the related score curves.

*** Injury Rate
The first of the objectives assigned to the General Manager measures the value of EBITDA in the Budget for 2026. EBITDA measures the Group’s operating performance: the indicator, in fact, represents the Group’s ability to generate profitability through core operations, eliminating the effects of financing choices, tax structure and depreciation policies. By focusing on EBITDA, the Group emphasises the ability to generate value through operational management, a key element to ensure lasting growth.
The score curves, based on the EBITDA value forecast in the 2026 Budget, have been defined according to the regulatory context that characterises Terna’s business and the management leverage available to it. These scenarios were designed to make the incentive system strongly oriented towards reaching and exceeding the target.
The second objective assigned to the General Manager measures the value of Investment in the Budget for 2026 for all the Terna Group’s regulated activities.
In the electricity transmission sector, investments in infrastructure are crucial to ensure the energy transition and the evolution of the NTG with a view to ensuring quality, efficiency and innovation.
Therefore, monitoring the capital expenditure progress becomes a key element of proper business management. In addition, capital expenditure results in an increase in the invested capital recognised by ARERA (Regulated Asset Base), as leverage for the Group’s future profitability.
The score curves take into account historical performance variability and are calibrated to a range of deviations that ensure effective investment management, support execution, and are consistent with the incentive mechanism for accurate investment forecasting introduced by ARERA in Res. 390/25, with a view to moving towards full ROSS regulation.
Regulated capital expenditure has significant spin-offs in terms of sustainability and social responsibility, contributing to several SDGs:
- SDG 7 Clean and Accessible Energy: capital expenditure promotes the integration of renewable sources and contributes to improving the efficiency of the grid, making energy more sustainable and accessible.
- SDG 9 Business, Innovation and Infrastructure: capital expenditure in state-of-the-art infrastructure and innovative technologies supports the development of efficient and resilient transmission networks, essential elements of a modern industrial infrastructure.
- SDG 13 Combating Climate Change: through capital expenditure in low environmental impact technologies and energy efficiency projects, the Group contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the adoption of more sustainable practices.
The third objective measures the Entries into service in the 2026 Budget, for all of the Terna Group's Regulated Activities. "Entries into service" means the value of the assets made available for network operation or operational use in the company, during the reference period.
The transition of investments from Contract work in progress (LIC) to Entries in service (EE) is a key step in the transformation of expenditure commitments into actual operational and running capacity. The regulatory framework, which envisages a more favourable rate of return for operating assets, provides incentives for the entry into service of Contract work in progress. Therefore, accelerating the completion of works means achieving economic benefits faster, and improving the electricity grid to make it more efficient, resilient and innovative, supporting the Energy Transition.
The score curves take into account the historical variability of performance, which considers the complexity/size of the works to be carried out and the leverage available to management.
The entry into service of assets is directly related to the Group's ability to ensure modern, efficient and sustainable infrastructure. This supports environmental, economic and social sustainability objectives, contributing to:
- SDG 7 Clean and Accessible Energy: an advanced operational network facilitates the integration of renewable sources and improves energy efficiency
- SDG 9 Business, Innovation and Infrastructure: timely completion of projects testifies to innovation and modernisation of infrastructure
- SDG 13 Combating Climate Change: an operational and modern infrastructure reduces waste, improves efficiency and contributes to a more sustainable management of resources.
For the "Quality of Service" objective, the company's prerogative in operational management is to comply with the obligations arising from the government concession of electricity transmission and dispatching activities, i.e. to ensure that the entire country receives a secure, high-quality electricity service at the best price. In order to maintain the highest standards of service quality, operational performance is constantly monitored and measured using various indicators, including the RENS (Regulated Energy Not Supplied) indicator defined by the Energy Regulatory Authority (ARERA). In particular, this indicator measures the frequency and impact of events occurring on the electricity grid that are attributable to faults or external factors, such as particular weather situations. Based on the RENS indicator, ARERA establishes the incentive/penalty mechanisms that determine a component of Terna's regulated revenues. The indicator is calculated by summing the energy not supplied to users connected to the NTG, expressed in MWh, as a result of events originating on the relevant grid.

n
The score curves were developed from the target defined by ARERA, which decreases year after year (thus becoming more challenging) and which is the reference point for measuring company performance.
Meeting service quality standards contributes to achieving the following SDGs:
- SDG 9 Business, Innovation and Infrastructure: with a view to developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure
- SDG 13 Combating Climate Change: with a view to strengthening resilience and the capacity to adapt to climate-related risks and natural disasters.
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.
It should be noted that the Terna Group's accident indices, and therefore also the so-called Safety Indicator used for STI purposes, do not take into account commuting accidents, which are compensated by INAIL but are not considered "at work" accidents, as well as accidents of any kind that are not recognised by INAIL as work-related accidents.
That said, the following are not considered:
- In Terna's experience, road accidents are significantly influenced by causes beyond the control of workers and the company.
- Accidents while working remotely, as the employer has no further workplace safety measures to use in addition to those already in place (a briefing given to the worker when the remote working arrangements were made, provision of adequate IT equipment).
Finally, it should be noted that in the event of a fatal accident, which occurred in the cases considered for the purposes of calculating the Terna Group Safety Index, the relative score is zero.
The indicator Reducing Behavioural Accidents aims to further strengthen the change management process already under way by acting on the behaviour of individuals throughout their work.
Below is a description of the activities planned to achieve the objective:
a) Inclusion of a bonus/penalty mechanism on occupational safety performance in the range of activities with the highest accident risk: 100% tenders launched from 1 June 2026 to 31 December 2026, in the sector of electrical and electromechanical installation works at stations.
b) Update of the Integrated Management System Policy and the HSE Process Guideline: Update and approval of documents (PL02 and LG007).
c) Extension of the safety programme's scope on construction sites by involving a greater number of employees and companies in the EiS programme: 25 new construction sites involved in the EiS project.
The final objective assigned to the General Manager is linked to injuries for contractors' personnel operating at Terna's sites (in Italy).
For Terna, Security is a fundamental factor in view of the activities carried out. That is why the Company is not only committed to its own staff but also to contractors. In view of the growing number of contractors' injuries over the years, Terna continues to implement initiatives that are consistent with this aim for the gradual reduction of this trend in the medium to long term. The number of injuries to contractors' personnel is related to the volume of activities they carry out; in particular, other factors being equal, it tends to grow with the number of resources committed and, therefore, the total hours worked. In a stable environment or one characterised by gradual growth, there is no significant correlation between an increase in the number of accidents and an increase in hours worked; however, in an environment marked by a strong strategic drive for growth, such as the one Terna is currently experiencing, it is considered more appropriate to use a normalised accident indicator, such as the Injury Rate (IR), as a KPI.
Finally, it should be noted that in the event of a fatal accident occurring in the cases taken into account for the calculation of the rate of change in the Injury Rate for contractors' personnel operating at Terna sites (within Italy), the relevant score is reset to zero.
If the average of the scores of the single targets is less than the minimum level, nothing is due. In the event of overperformance, it is not possible to attain a higher bonus than the maximum set.
The value of the annual incentive is related to the achievement of the performance curve, as illustrated below.

Short-Term Variable Incentive (STI) for General Manager
In summary, the total short-term variable remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, at target level, is equal to 46% of the total annual gross Fixed Remuneration.
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.
50
In continuity with the approach used in previous years, for 2026, Terna has adopted a new rolling long-term equity-based incentive scheme. Specifically, in 2026 the Company will operate the Performance Share Plan 2026-2030 (the "Performance Share Plan 2026-2030"). 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 Issuers' Regulation, 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 2026-2030 are described below.
Long-term incentive plan based on Performance Shares for 2026-2030
The Performance Share Plan 2026-2030 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 (2026-2028) and a two-year lock-up 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:
- FFO / Average Net Debt over the three-year period which reflects the achievement of operational performance and monitors the company's financial strength. The selected ratio that provides the ratio of cash flows from business operations ("Funds From Operations") to "Net debt" measures the company's capacity to generate sufficient resources to cover future debt repayments: higher figures indicate greater financial strength. The intensified investment plan has led to an increase in debt over the years, resulting in a natural decline in the FFO/Net Debt ratio. The downward revision of the scoring curve compared with the previous LTI Plan is therefore consistent with the Group's financial outlook for the coming years and with the use of the available financial flexibility to support the investment plan.
- Relative TSR versus a peer group, which reflects the achievement of market performance as it includes both the performance accrued by the security over the reference period (differential between the price at the end and the beginning of the reference period) and the return ensured by the dividends distributed and reinvested in the security.
- 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.
- Connections, which measures Terna's efficiency in meeting average connection times; the objective is to facilitate the entry into operation of new renewable generation capacity functional to the energy transition by optimising connection times.

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 minimum performance must be achieved, below which nothing is due. In the event of overperformance, it is not possible to attain a higher bonus than the maximum set.
52
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 and Nominations Committee, during approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2028.
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 2031. During this period, the Shares are non-transferable (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 2026-2030:

Performance Share Plan 2026-2030
New LTI Plan: Performance Share Plan 2026-2030 - General Manager
The target value of the long-term incentive for each three-year plan awarded, as approved by the Board of Directors, is 123.6% (for the 2023-2025 term of office²⁶ €1,050,600 for the three-year Plan period) of the Gross Annual Pay for the position of General Manager (for the 2023-2025 term of office: €850,000). The value of the long-term incentive is related to the achievement of the performance curve, as illustrated below.
If the weighted average score for the individual objectives is below the minimum level, nothing is due. In the event of overperformance, the bonus is capped at the maximum attainable level.

The 2026-2030 Performance Share Plan provides for the allocation of a number of Terna S.p.A. Ordinary Shares according to the performance curve illustrated.
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.
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 attribution 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.
Previous Long-term incentive plans still in place
Terna has equity incentive plans in place, which are rolling schemes with equity-based compensation, portions of which are granted annually.
These are the Performance Share Plans for 2024-2028 and 2025-2029.
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 Incentive Plans of Performance Share Plans for 2024-2028 and 2025-2029 are provided in the Remuneration Reports for 2024 and 2025 and the related Information Circulars, all of which are available on the Company's website.
In summary, the total long-term variable remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, at target level is equal to 97% of the total annual gross Fixed Remuneration.

FOCUS
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 benefits package for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager has been determined in accordance with the terms of the related National Collective Employment Contract and of the company policies and practices applicable to the Director and management personnel in general including, by way of example:
- 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
A termination and severance payment is envisaged for the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager.
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) to the current 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.
It is recalled that the Board of Directors currently in office, on the date of approval of this Report, will cease its term of office with the holding of the General Meeting of Shareholders convened for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2025. In accordance with the provisions of Articles 2364(1)(3) and 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, the new Board of Directors – once appointed by the Annual General Meeting – shall therefore determine, subject to a resolution by the General Meeting where necessary, the remuneration payable to Directors holding specific positions, as well as the remuneration payable to non-executive Directors for their participation in board committees.
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 General Meeting of Shareholders of 9 May 2023:
Board of Statutory Auditors (remuneration for the 2023-2025 term of office)
| Chair 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 General Legal and Corporate Affairs;
- Head of Grid Development and Dispatching Strategies.
- Head of Human Resources;
- Head of Market Solutions;
- Head of National Transmission Grid;
- Head of Project Engineering and Execution;
- Head of Strategy, Digital and Sustainability;
The list of Key Management Personnel has been drawn up by interpreting art. 152-sexies, para. 1(c) of the Issuers' Regulation 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.
56
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 (STI), 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 (LTI), 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 (STI)
The short-term incentive (STI) plan allows for the assessment of the annual contribution of the beneficiary to the performance of Terna and directs management actions towards strategic objectives in line with business priorities.
STI objectives for Key Management Personnel are set by the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, in line with the Remuneration Policy and with the general criteria set by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee.
Access to the STI 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 (STI) to Key Management Personnel follows the Remuneration and Nominations Committee's assessment at aggregate level, with the support of the Human Resources Department, of achievement of the performance objectives assigned annually.
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 GAP percentages shown in the graph represent the maximum bonus achievable for each level of overall target achievement.
If the weighted average score for the individual objectives is below the minimum level, nothing is due. In the event of overperformance, the bonus is capped at the maximum attainable level.
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 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 and Nominations 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 long-term Performance Share Plan 2026-2030.
The new Performance Share Plan 2026-2030 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.
58
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 | 2026-2030 | |
| Objectives | 30% | FFO / Average Net Debt over the three-year period |
| 15% | Relative TSR | |
| 30% | Overgeneration | |
| 25% | Connections | |
| Achievable bonus | 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 Tema's shares with respect to the grant date. |
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.
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.
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, including, by way of example:
- 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
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 managers starting from the approval of the 2024 Policy²⁷ (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.
²⁷ 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.

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 General Meeting of Shareholders, 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 para. 6: "Without prejudice to the provisions [...] the annual general meeting called [...] shall vote for or against section two of the report provided for in para. 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 Personnel[28] is, in contrast, reported in aggregate form.
Implementation of the Policy, to the extent verified by the Remuneration and Nominations 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 2025 and put to a binding vote by the Annual General Meeting held on 21 May 2025, in accordance with art. 123-ter of the CLF, which voted in favour of the Policy.

Part one
1. Corporate performance 2025
2025 was once again characterised by a changing geopolitical environment and economic-financial tensions. Despite the continuation of this complex scenario, Terna recorded exceptional results, confirming the solidity of its business and demonstrating a high capacity to react and adapt even in unpredictable circumstances.
In particular, the Group recorded an improvement in net profit of €50 million compared with last year and of approximately €184 million in EBITDA. The Group's capital expenditure amounted to €3,515 million, an increase of €823 million. Finally, assets entering service for the Group amounted to €2,016 million, an increase compared to €1,415 million in 2024.
Despite the negative impact on financial markets of the ongoing geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures and the energy crisis, as at 31 December 2025 Terna's Total Shareholder Return was positive at 24.2%.
In addition, Terna has managed the system safely at minimum cost thanks to the various actions introduced, including output-based incentive mechanisms. Specifically:
- with reference to the quality of service, the RENS indicator (energy not provided on the NTG) stood at a provisional value of 244 MWh compared to the annual target set by the ARERA in 2025 equal to about 711 MWh;
- the volumes procured also decreased in 2025. The reduction in dispatching costs was made possible by the continuous improvement of activities and processes related to DSM that Terna is also implementing thanks to the incentive scheme for reducing dispatching costs (so-called DSM incentives);
- Terna has increased the additional transmission capacity between market areas, whilst maintaining the increases already implemented in previous years, in line with the incentive mechanisms provided for under current regulations.
Finally, in terms of ESG indices, in 2025 Terna was once again listed on:
- 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, (replaced by the agency Sustainalytics starting from 2025);
- the STOXX Global ESG Leaders, index based on the scores issued by the rating agency Sustainalytics, which select the best-performing securities in terms of ESG among those in the STOXX® Global index;
- the FTSE4Good, which considers the best companies for sustainability performance based on analysis conducted by FTSE Russel. Terna has been listed in the index continuously since 2005²⁹.
It should be noted that, also in 2025, Terna participated in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) promoted by S&P Global, the results of which are used to identify the companies to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World (renamed, since 2025, the Dow Jones Best-in-class Index World). The results of the CSA 2025 survey place the company at the top of the global rankings for electric utilities, with Terna achieving the highest score in the entire sector. Please note that, due to a change in methodology, the index update has been postponed from December 2025 to April 2026.
Please refer to the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 for a description of the main factors that characterised operations in 2025.
²⁹ As stipulated in the remuneration policy, the FTSE4Good index replaced the no longer active Bloomberg GEI.

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 General Meeting of Shareholders expresses 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 2021 to 2025.

Outcome of votes on remuneration paid (2021-2025)
The outcome of this vote and feedback from investors and proxy advisors on the remuneration paid in 2024 was analysed by Terna in 2025, 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. Similarly, Terna remains committed to engaging with its shareholders, ensuring access to the relevant company departments to clarify any doubts and explain the rationale behind the implementation of the remuneration policies approved by Terna's General Meeting of Shareholders.

Based on the assessment conducted by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and the resulting recommendation, on 26 March 2026 the Board of Directors confirmed the degree to which the cycle's performance objectives had been achieved, as described below:
| OBJECTIVES | WEIGHTING | TARGET | ACTUAL | SCORE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three-year cumulative EBITDA as of 2025 compared with the cumulative EBITDA for 23-25 in the 2023 Budget + 2024-2025 in the Updated 21-25 Plan | 30% | 6,275.7 €m | 7,485.8 €m | 150% |
| Cumulative adjusted investments for the three-year period as of 2025 compared with the value of cumulative adjusted investments for 23-25 in the 2023 Budget + 2024-2025 in the Updated 21-25 Plan (Data net of financial expenses and IFRS16) | 20% | 6,538.3 €m | 8,026.5 €m | 150% |
| Relative Total Shareholder Return 2023-2025 | 20% | 3rd place | 1st place | 150% |
| Terna's ranking in the benchmark peer group | ||||
| ESG indices (Inclusion in Bloomberg GEI; DJSI-World; MIB® ESG; STOXX ESG) | 15% | 7 inclusions during last three years | 11 inclusions during last three years | 140% |
| 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 | 15% | 536 GWh | 119 GWh | 150% |
| WEIGHTED AVERAGE SCORE | 148.5% |
With regard to the objective of inclusion in a series of ESG indices, it should be noted that the Information Document for the 2023-2027 Plan contains a clause stating: "In the event of the discontinuation of any of the selected indices (Bloomberg GEI; DJSI World; MIB® ESG; STOXX ESG) or a significant change in the underlying criteria, it will be automatically replaced by the FTSE4GOOD index."
As of 2024, the Bloomberg Index has been discontinued and has therefore been automatically replaced by the FTSE4GOOD Index.
It should also be noted that, from 2025 onwards, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (which has been renamed the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Index) will follow a different rebalancing cycle. In particular, it is no longer updated every beginning of December but at the end of April of the following year. For 2025, rebalancing will take place in April 2026 (previous rebalancing December 2024).

Therefore, at the date of publication of this Report, as the information on inclusion in the DJSI for the year 2025 is not yet available, the partial KPI balance is 140%. The Board of Directors has instructed the Company's technical departments to verify whether inclusion in the DJSI has been confirmed, once the list becomes available, and, if so, to amend the 150% calculation accordingly (carrying out all related activities and market communications, including the possible re-publication of this Report).
Based on the above, the overall level of achievement of the Performance Share Plan 2023-2027 as at the date of publication of this Report was 148.5%.
At the meeting of 26 March 2026, the Board of Directors determined the number of shares to be allotted, including the amount awarded as a dividend equivalent:
- for the General Manager equal to 218,740.
- a total of 153,846 for Key Management Personnel on aggregate and, if necessary, on a prorated basis.
These shares are partially (30%) subject to the restrictions resulting from the two-year lock-up period, as provided for in the Information Circular for the Performance Share Plan 2023-2027.
It should also be noted that, in the light of the description provided in Section I of the Remuneration Reports for 2024 and 2025, respectively, during 2024 and 2025, grants were made under the Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 and the Performance Share Plan 2025-2029. Information on these Plans is provided in Table 3A.
6. Fees for participating in Board Committees
The remuneration payable for positions on the Committees is set out below; where necessary, this has been calculated on a pro rata basis in relation to the period during which the position was held.

Glossary
Executive Directors: the chief executive officers of the Company or strategically important subsidiaries, including the Chair of these companies if granted executive powers or when they have a specific role in defining business strategies. Executive Directors also include Directors holding managerial positions in the Company or a strategically important subsidiary, or in the parent company when the position also relates to Terna. Finally, Directors who sit on the Executive Committee are also classified as Executive, when they have not been nominated as a Chief Executive Officer or when membership of the executive Committee, given the frequency of meetings and the matters decided on, effectively means there is systematic involvement of its members in the day-to-day running of Terna.
Directors with delegated powers: the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.
Directors without delegated powers: all Directors except for the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.

All the holders of voting rights are represented (either directly or by proxies) at the meeting. The AGM has the powers conferred on it by law and the Company's Articles of Association: the most important of these are the power to approve the financial statements and to elect and terminate Directors and members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and its Chair.
