This report on remuneration policy and remuneration paid to members of the board of directors and supervisory bodies, general managers and executives with strategic responsibilities (the "Report") was drafted and approved by the Board of Directors of Tesmec S.p.A. (hereinafter also "Tesmec" or the "Company") on 12 March 2021 pursuant to: (i) art. 123-ter of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 ("T.U.F."), as recently amended by Italian Legislative Decree no. 49 of 10 June 2019, implementing Directive EU 2017/828 ( "Shareholder Rights Directive II") of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 amending directive 2007/36/EC ( "Shareholder Rights Directive I") as regards the encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement; (ii) Article 84-quarter of the regulations issued by CONSOB with resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as subsequently amended and supplemented, ("Issuers' Regulation") and of related Annex 3A, schemes no. 7-bis and 7-ter;
Section I of the Report describes in a clear and comprehensible manner the remuneration policy ("Remuneration Policy" or "Policy") of Tesmec and of the group it heads (the Company and the Company's subsidiaries pursuant to article 93 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.), hereinafter also the "Group") with regard to the issue of remuneration with reference to the 2021 financial year of:
the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors;
as well as the procedures used to adopt and implement the Remuneration Policy, pursuant to Article 123-ter, third paragraph, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.).
In accordance with Article 123-ter, fourth paragraph of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.), Section II of the Report shows in a clear and comprehensible manner the individual items making up the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the General Manager and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and respective remuneration paid in 2020 by the Company and by subsidiaries or associates (Tables 1 and 2). Finally, any shares held in the Company and its subsidiaries by the subjects mentioned above are indicated in Table 3 attached to this Report.
As provided by the Related Party Regulation, as acknowledged in the procedure adopted by the Company in this regard and available on its website (www.tesmec.com), the approval of this Policy by the Shareholders' Meeting, once defined by the Board of Directors on proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee (comprised by a majority of Independent Directors), exempts the resolutions of the Company on the remuneration of its directors and Executives with strategic responsibilities from carrying out the procedures provided by the above provisions of CONSOB concerning related parties.
1. Remuneration policy for members of the administrative bodies, general managers and other executives with strategic responsibilities
The Board of Directors defines and reviews the Remuneration Policy on proposal of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee (see below under letter b) of Section I of this Report) on an annual basis.
The Remuneration Policy, as described in this Section of the Report, pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraphs 3-bis and 3-ter, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.), introduced by Italian Legislative Decree no. 49/2019, is subject, on an annual basis or on the occasion of amendments to the Policy, to the binding vote of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting convened pursuant to Article 2364, second paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Company assigns remuneration only in accordance with the Remuneration Policy last approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. In the presence of exceptional circumstances, the Company can temporarily depart from the Remuneration Policy, in compliance with the procedural conditions - provided for therein - under which the departure may be applied and with regard to the elements of the Policy specified therein that may be departed from (see below under letter q) of Section I of this Report).
Exceptional circumstances are understood only as situations in which the departure from the Remuneration Policy is required to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay on the market, both as a reference market of the Company (i.e. design, production and marketing of products, technologies and solutions integrated in the construction, maintenance and efficiency of infrastructure related to the transport and supply of energy, data and materials), and as a labour and human resources market.
If the Shareholders' Meeting does not approve the Remuneration Policy submitted to the relevant vote, the Company continues to pay remuneration in accordance with the most recent Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting or, failing this, can continue to pay remuneration in accordance with current practice (intended as the choices already made by the Company in relation to the remuneration policy which may also be inspired by market practices, such as those recommended in the conduct codes to which the Company declared to adhere). In this case, the Company submits a new Remuneration Policy to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting at the latest at the next Shareholders' Meeting convened pursuant to Article 2364, second paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code.
The Remuneration and Appointments Committee is in charge of the correct implementation of this Policy, in exercising the tasks described below, as well as the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for supervising the actual implementation of the Policy.
b) Intervention of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, composition (distinguishing the non-executive directors from the independent directors), relevant responsibilities and operation procedures and any other measured aimed at avoiding or managing conflicts of interests.
The Remuneration and Appointments Committee, which formulated to the Board of Directors the Remuneration Policy proposal, consists of three directors, all non-executive and predominantly independent, as provided for by the Code and by the Regulations of the Committee itself. The members of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee include directors who have adequate knowledge and experience in financial and remuneration policy matters, which is assessed at the time of appointment.
At the date of the Report, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee is composed of 3 nonexecutive members, two of which are independent: Simone Andrea Crolla (Chairman independent), Caterina Caccia Dominioni (Member - non-executive), Emanuela Teresa Basso Petrino (Member - independent).
The Remuneration and Appointments Committee is entrusted with the following functions related to the Remuneration Policy:
In accordance with the provisions of Recommendation 26 of the Corporate Governance Code, no Director attends the meetings of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee where proposals are submitted to the Board of Directors regarding their remuneration.
The Committee meets at least once a year and in any case on the occasion of the meeting of the Board of Directors called to decide on the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officers or vested with special offices and/or of the top management of the Company as well as on any stock option plan or share allocation.
The Company took into account the remuneration and working conditions of its employees in determining the remuneration policy.
The Board of Directors did not avail itself of the advice of independent experts in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy.
The Remuneration Policy (and the relative implementation procedures) was prepared by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee in the meeting of 11 March 2021 and on 12 March 2021 it was approved by the Board of Directors. The Remuneration Policy thus prepared and approved will be submitted for approval by a binding vote of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting convened to be held on 22 April 2021.
The Remuneration Policy contributes to the Company's strategy, the pursuit of the Company's interests, including long-term, and sustainability, illustrating the way in which it makes this contribution and taking into account the remuneration and employment conditions of the Company's employees.
The Remuneration Policy serves to attract, motivate and retain resources with the professional qualities required to profitably pursue the Company's objectives. The Policy serves also as a means to align the interests of management and of shareholders, through the creation of a strong relation between remuneration and individual performance. The aim of the Policy is to create sustainable value in the medium to long term for the Issuer and the shareholders, as well as to ensure that the remuneration is based on the results actually obtained.
For non-executive directors, the Remuneration Policy envisages, in compliance with the provisions of Recommendation 29 of the Corporate Governance Code, remuneration that is adequate to the competence, professionalism and commitment required by the tasks assigned to them within the management body and in board committees; this remuneration is not linked to the economic results achieved by the Company (see paragraph o below).
When determining remuneration and each of its components, the Board of Directors will take account (i) of the specific contents of the delegation of powers assigned to each executive director and/or (ii) of the functions and of the role actually carried out by each executive director within the company, making sure in this way that the estimate of any variable component is consistent with the type of tasks assigned to them.
In particular, remuneration is determined according to the following criteria:
Compared to the remuneration policy relating to the 2020 financial year, which was approved on 13 March 2020 by the Board of Directors and submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting of Tesmec on 21 May 2020, there were no changes in the Remuneration Policy, except for the introduction in the short-term incentive systems (MBO) of a variable component linked to the achievement of certain sustainability indicators relating to the areas of safety, the environment and responsible consumption.
The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, of the General Manager and of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities consists in general of the following elements:
In compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, the variable component is linked to objectives consistent with the strategic objectives of the Company and aimed at promoting its sustainable success, relating, in particular, to turnover, EBITDA and the net financial position of the Company and the Group and the achievement of certain milestones regarding the environment, sustainability and conscious consumption.
Moreover, in line with Recommendation no. 29 d) of the Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Policy requires the payment of a significant component of the variable remuneration to be deferred over time.
As anticipated, the methods for defining the variable remuneration for executive directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities will be established by the Board of Directors on the basis of the ESG policy adopted by the Company and of budget for the financial period with the estimate of a minimum threshold to receive the bonus and a progression in the premium pay to be assigned in accordance with the lines described below.
It is understood that, in accordance with the Policy, the possibility for such payment to be waived by the parties concerned is without prejudice in the event of achievement of the targets to which the payment of the variable component of remuneration is subject.
Note also noted that the Remuneration Policy envisages the possibility for the Company to pay entry bonuses to encourage the hiring and retention of individuals deemed to be strategic.
With particular reference to the Chief Executive Officer, the Remuneration Policy envisages a remuneration consisting of:
The exact amount of variable remuneration will be calculated according to a linear proportion, it being understood the maximum limit of 80% of the gross annual remuneration.
At the end of the 2021 financial period, after checking the achievement of targets, 70% of the variable remuneration will be paid, while the remaining 30% will be paid after the third year, provided that the beneficiary of the variable component still holds the office of Chief Executive Officer at the Issuer upon approval of the draft financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
With particular reference to the General Manager and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, the Remuneration Policy envisages a remuneration consisting of:
The exact amount of variable remuneration will be calculated according to a linear proportion, without prejudice to the maximum limit of 40% of the gross annual remuneration.
[The relation between the majority of the premium with the achievement of the budget's objectives guarantees the consistency of the Remuneration Policy in the short-medium term with the long term, because in general the annual budget, on which the achievement of pre-set targets is calculated, is in turn included in a three-year plan, and the budget achieved in a financial period is considered as the new base for the following financial period, resulting in a boost to the constant growth of the company's profit.]
At the end of the 2021 financial period, after checking the achievement of the targets, 70% of the variable remuneration will be paid, while the remaining 30% will be paid after the third year, provided that the beneficiary of the variable component works at the Issuer upon approval of the draft financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
As anticipated, in any case, variable remuneration cannot exceed 40% of gross annual remuneration.
Bearing in mind, among other things, the nature of the business carried out, we are of the opinion that twelve-month time horizons allow the determination, for defining the variable component portion, of targets that are appropriately consistent with the performance of the market in which the Company operates and in keeping with a prudent risk management policy.
In addition, the provision for the deferral of the payment of a portion of the variable component with respect to the time of accrual has the objective of incentivising the medium-long term retention of relevant persons. However, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee has reserved the right to introduce other indicators (such as the expansion of the business in new markets) should the current Remuneration Policy not provide adequate incentives in the long term.
On the date of this Report, no incentive plan based on financial instruments was approved.
1With reference to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities of subsidiaries, note that the variable remuneration will be determined based on the budget of the individual legal entity, it being understood that the financial indicators (appropriately weighted turnover, EBITDA and NFP) are the same.
The Remuneration Policy of the Company provides for the allocation of some non-monetary benefits to executive directors and to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities through the "fringe benefit" formula according to the specific powers or duties assigned.
g) With reference to variable components, description of the financial and non-financial performance targets according to which they are assigned, distinguishing short-term variable components from medium to long-term variable components, and information on the relation between the change in the results and the change in the remuneration
Reference is made to what is stated under letter e) of Section I of this Report.
This Remuneration Policy does not provide for the allocation of shares, options, other financial instruments or other variable components of remuneration.
According to this Remuneration Policy, the performance targets outlined above and the method of payment of the variable component must be consistent with the risk management policy adopted by the Company, in that they must take account of the risks assumed by Tesmec, of the capital and liquidity required by the Company to face up to the undertaken activities.
For information regarding the consistency of the remuneration policy with the pursuit of longterm interests, please refer to what is stated under letter f) of Section I of this Report.
The Company's Remuneration Policy envisages deferred payment of a part of the variable remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer, General Manager and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities. For further information, reference is made to what is stated under letter e) of Section I of this Report.
In addition to the above, in order to consolidate the form of retention and support by the management of the three-year plan, contractual agreements were envisaged pursuant to which, if in the 12 months following the payment of the variable component of the remuneration, one of the beneficiaries resigned, the variable component paid to the same would be subject to total or partial repayment in favour of the Company.
In compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and in line with the specific indications recently formulated by the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., for all variable incentives - both short and long term - contractual arrangements are
envisaged that allow the Company to request the return of the variable components of the remuneration paid (or to withhold amounts subject to deferral), determined on the basis of data that, as proven by the competent company functions within a period of three years from the disbursement, are subsequently revealed manifestly incorrect or falsified (clawback clauses). This provision also applies if the difference between the data used and the adjusted data has caused the accrual of a bonus higher than the amount actually due and entails the obligation, on the part of the beneficiaries, to repay the premiums unduly paid.
The Remuneration Policy does not provide for any clause for the retention of the financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition.
The Remuneration Policy does not provide for the payment of any indemnity in favour of directors or Executive with Strategic Responsibilities in the event of early termination of the directorship or professional relationship, except, as regards Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, for the severance indemnities established by the national collective agreement of reference and any additional payments defined on an individual basis; in addition to the amount due pursuant to the CCNL. Similarly, no notice periods are envisaged other than those envisaged by category Collective Contracts, except for specific functions that are revised from time to time according to the Business Strategic or continuity with individual agreements.
Within the employment relationships with newly appointed Strategic Managers, there is a clause whereby all remuneration received or by virtue of a corporate position will be remitted to the company as an integral part of the annuity received in the employment relationship.
The Company adopted a policy of retention and protection of its business know-how for its strategic or high-potential figures and, in particular, a "Non-competition Agreement" Policy for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, which provides for a monthly payment of 10-15% of Gross Annual Salary based on the functions covered within the organisation, in exchange for the signing by the collaborator of a non-competition agreement that does not allow, in the event of termination of the employment relationship for any reason, to launch of an activity in Italy and/or abroad with Tesmec's competitors. In case of breach of the non-competition agreement, there are penalties related to each collaborator.
In line with best practices, an insurance policy against civil liability towards third parties is in force for company bodies, general managers, if appointed, Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, in the performance of their duties, with the aim of holding harmless the Company from the charges arising from the related compensation for damages, except in cases of malicious intent or serious misconduct.
Moreover, the Board of Directors has approved an insurance package as from 2012 that provides for an employee benefit programme for the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer and for Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.
This programme extends to the following categories:
In the light of what is recommended by the Corporate Governance Code, the remuneration of nonexecutive Directors is not related to the economic results achieved by the Company and/or by the Group.
The remuneration of non-executive directors, as reported under previous letter f) of Section I of this Report, is exclusively represented by a fixed component, resolved upon by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting with regard to its overall amount and then determined singularly by the Board of Directors, taking into account the competences, professionalism and commitment required in the performance of the duties assigned to them.
The remuneration policy applied by the Company with respect to independent Directors is the same policy applied for non-executive Directors.
With reference to the components of internal committees, further additional compensation related to the participation in such bodies is not envisaged.
The Remuneration Policy was defined by the Company without using the remuneration policies of other companies as reference.
Pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-bis, of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.), the Company can temporarily depart from the Remuneration Policy in the presence of exceptional circumstances - meaning only those situations in which the departure from the Policy is required in order to pursue the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or to
ensure its ability to stay on the market - provided it envisages the procedural conditions under which the departure can be applied and specifies the elements of the Policy that may be departed from.
The Policy may be departed from with respect to the following elements:
With regard to the procedural conditions under which the departure can be applied, any temporary departure from the Remuneration Policy must be approved by the Board of Directors, after consulting the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, without prejudice to the provisions of the Related Party Regulation and the Procedure adopted by the Company with regard to related party transactions, where applicable.
The resolution of the Board of Directors determines the duration of this departure and the specific elements of the Policy that are departed from, in compliance with the above.
The remuneration envisaged for the position of member of the Board of Statutory Auditors consists only of a fixed part and is therefore not related to the economic results achieved by the Company.
In particular, pursuant to Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code and of Article 22 of the Articles of Association, the remuneration of the Statutory Auditors is determined by the Shareholders' Meeting of Tesmec when appointed for all the duration of the term of office.
On 16 April 2019, the Shareholders' Meeting set the total annual remuneration for the Board of Statutory Auditors at Euro 87,500, of which Euro 37,500 for the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and Euro 25,000 for each of the other two Statutory Auditors.
The remuneration paid in the 2020 financial period to the members of the Board of Directors and to the Board of Statutory Auditors as well as to the General Manager and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities are illustrated by name in this Section of the Report.
This Section, pursuant to paragraph 6 of Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.), is subject to the sole advisory and non-binding vote of the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, which is required to issue an opinion in favour or against said section.
The independent auditors verified the preparation by the directors of Section II of the Report in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8-bis of Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance (T.U.F.).
* * *
This part of Section II provides a clear, adequate and comprehensible representation of each of the items forming the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors, of the General Manager and of Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, with reference to the 2020 financial period.
These items are reflected in the tables in the Second Part of this Section.
First of all, it should be noted that the remuneration paid in 2020 is compliant with the remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 21 May 2020.
The structure of the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities makes it possible to align the action of management with the achievement of longterm results, as it provides for a variable remuneration mechanism that supports and encourages management also in the medium-long term.
In accordance with the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting on 16 April 2019 and the Board of Directors on 6 May 2019, the following fixed remuneration was paid to the Board of Directors for the 2020 financial year:
In line with the Remuneration Policy approved for the 2019 financial period, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, on 12 March 2020 verified that the target percentage set for 2019 had not been reached. Consequently, in application of the remuneration policy approved for the 2019 financial period, over the course of the 2020 financial period the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni was not paid any variable remuneration.
In line with the Remuneration Policy approved for the 2020 financial period, the Board of Directors on 12 March 2020, upon proposal by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, resolved to assign a variable remuneration to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni relevant to the 2020 financial period that will be paid only in case of achievement of at least 90% of certain financial indicators of the 2020 budget (appropriately weighted turnover, EBITDA and NFP). The exact amount of variable remuneration will
be calculated according to a linear proportion, notwithstanding the maximum limit of 80% of the gross annual remuneration.
At the end of the 2020 financial period, after checking the achievement of the targets, 70% of the variable remuneration will be paid, while the remaining 30% will be paid after the third year, provided that the beneficiary of the variable component still holds the office of Chief Executive Officer at the Issuer upon approval of the draft financial statements as at 31 December 2022. It should be noted that below the above achievement percentages, no variable remuneration is due.
The variable remuneration for the 2020 financial period cannot exceed 80% of gross annual remuneration.
With reference to this variable remuneration for the 2020 financial period, the Board of Directors on 11 March 2021 verified [that the targets had not been reached
The Company put at the disposal of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, a company car suitable for the performance of the powers assigned to him. The company cars represent the company's fleet and are granted for a dual-purpose use (for private use and for work) through the fringe benefit formula.
The cars are granted with the full renting formula - which envisages a long-term rental - a formula that is the most widespread to date in similar company environments. Tesmec has established an internal regulation ("Car Policy") for granting company cars, which set out the terms and the criteria of use.
During the 2020 financial period, the Board of Statutory Auditors consisted of the following statutory auditors:
During the 2020 financial year, the office of General Manager was held by Mr. Paolo Mosconi, who was paid a fixed salary of Euro 231,843.78. In the same year, a total of Euro 364,645.60 was paid to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities.
With reference to the variable component of the remuneration of the General Manager and Executives with Strategic Responsibilities, in line with the Remuneration Policy approved for the 2019 financial period, the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, on 12 March 2020, ascertained that the targets set for 2019 had not been reached. Consequently, in application of the Remuneration Policy approved for the 2019 financial period, during the 2020 financial period the General Manager Paolo Mosconi and the Executive with Strategic Responsibilities received no variable remuneration.
In line with the Remuneration Policy approved for the 2020 financial period, the Board of Directors on 13 March 2020, upon proposal by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, resolved to assign a variable remuneration to the General Manager Paolo Mosconi relative to the 2020 financial period that will be paid only in case of achievement of at least 90% of certain financial indicators of the 2020 budget (appropriately weighted turnover, EBITDA and NFP). The exact amount of variable remuneration will be calculated according to a linear
proportion, notwithstanding the maximum limit of 40% of the gross annual remuneration. It should be noted that, below the achievement percentage reported above, no variable remuneration is due.
At the end of the 2020 financial period, after checking the achievement of the targets, 70% of the variable remuneration will be paid, while the remaining 30% will be paid after the third year, provided that the beneficiary of the variable component still holds office at the Issuer upon approval of the draft financial statements as at 31 December 2022.
With reference to this variable remuneration for the 2019 financial period, the Board of Directors on 11 March 2021 verified that the targets had not been reached.
The Company put at the disposal of the General Manager and of the Executives with Strategic Responsibilities company cars suitable for carrying out their professional duties. The company cars represent the company's fleet and are granted for a dual-purpose use (for private use and for work) through the fringe benefit formula.
The cars are granted with the full renting formula - which envisages a long-term rental - a formula that is the most widespread to date in similar company environments. Tesmec has established an internal regulation ("Car Policy") for granting company cars, which set out the terms and the criteria of use.
There are no specific agreements that provide for payment of indemnities in the case of early termination of the employment relationship.
During the 2020 financial year, no exceptional circumstances emerged such as to lead to a derogation to the remuneration policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 May 2020.
During the 2020 financial year, no ex post correction mechanisms were applied to the variable component.
