- there are maximum limits on the variable components of remuneration;
- the fixed component is sufficient to remunerate directors in case the variable component is not paid because of failure to reach performance objectives;

The Remuneration Policy pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code applies for t he first time in the financial year ended at 28 February 2018, and therefore no comparison can be made with previou s years.
e) Description of policies on fbed and variable components of remuneration, with particul a r regard to its relative weighting within overall remuneration and the distinction between shortterm variable components and medium/long-term variable components.
The policies on the remuneration of directors and Key M anagers are adequately balanced to ensu re alignment between short-term growth objectives and the sustainable creation of value for shareholders in the medium-long term.
In particular, the remunerat ion structure comprises t he following components:
- a fixed component that reflects their specific powers, positions, role and strategic responsibilities;
- a variable component designed to remunerate expected short-term performance (in the case of MBO) and medium/ long-term performance (in the case of stock option plans).
The variable remunerat ion and t he fixed annual components have different weightings according t o the characteristics of the role in the company and the responsibilities assigned, in order to ensure t he sustainability of company results and the creation of medium/long-term value for shareholders.
Regarding Key Managers, when drawing up the relevant Remuneration Policy, the Board of Directors works on the basis of an assessment of the current contractually agreed remuneration with each Key Manager, which also includes benefits and variable short-term remuneration (MBO) connected to t he achievement of Individual or company performance targets set for each financial year, whose payment is subject to remaining with the company for the reference period.
The variable part of the remuneration Is therefore set in such a way as to
- take account of t he requirement whereby a significant part of the remuneration of Executive Directors and Key Managers must be linked to performance results achieved by the Issuer and/or the achievement of targets set in advance by the Board of Directors;
- ensure that the interests of the Executive Directors and Key Managers are In line w ith the priority objective of creating medium/long-term value for shareholders; and
- retain and motivate people with the required qualities to manage the Issuer successfully, including through the use of retention conditions.
As indicated above, the variable component of t he remuneration includes a short-term component (MBO) and a medium/long-term component (the Stock Option Plan), which are described below.
Management By Objectives ("MBO")
The remuneration of Key Managers includes an annual variable component (M BO) - which is a significant amount In percentage terms of gross annual income - connected to t he achievement of an "entry gate" and individual and/or company performance objectives set for each financial year by t he Board of Directors, whose payment Is subject to remaining with t he company for the reference period. The pay-mix (the weighting of the different components as a proportion of total remuneration paid excluding benefits (annual total remuneration) is provided below:
fixed component: between 50% and 62.5%;
variable short-term component relative to the Target Bonus (as defined below): betw een 37.5% and 50%.
The current MBO system provides for payment of a variable monetary compensation (i.e. a cash bonus) the target am ount of which is defined for each manager in his or her indiv i d ual employment agreement. The payment of the bonus is subject to remaining in office for the year of reference and reaching performance objectives which are assigned a predefined weight and there are specific trigger t hresholds. The bonus payable is calculat ed according to a linear progression system based on t he actual performance achieved with respect to t he Performance Targets.
The MBO system for the year from 1 March 2017 - 28 February 2018, as it was approved by the Board of Directors on 10 May 2017, on the proposal of the Appointments and Remunerat ion Committee, Is structured based on t he following parameters and criteria:
- the performance objectives are connected to t argets involving (i) EBITOA (common to a ll Key Managers) (the EBITOA Performance Target") and (ii) the reduction of t he net fina ncial position or net debt (depending on t he role performed) ("NFP Performance Target");
- the weight relative to the EBITOA Performance Target and the NFP Performance Target Is respectively 75% and 25%;
- the Target Bonus which Is payable if 100% of the objectives are reached and deflned individually w ithin the employment agreement - Is subdivided based on the aforementioned weights into the "Target EBITDA Bonus'" (75%) and "Target NFP Bonus" (25%);
- the accrual and payment of the Target EBITDA Bonus and the Target NFP Bonus is subject to (i) reaching a pre -defined trigger threshold, under which the beneficiary Is not entitled to receive any compensation and (ii) the beneficiary must continue to be employed by t he Issuer on the closing date of the reference year, except in t he event ofa withdrawal by the employer for object ive reasons in which case the bonus will be paid In proportion to the applicable t ime.
In particular, if the actual consolidated performance of the reference year relative to the EBITOA (The "Actual EBITDA Performance"') is:
- a) lower than 80% of the Actual EBITOA Performance, then the Target EBITDA Bonus is not paid, even on a percentage basis, as the relative trigger threshold has not been reached;
- b) equal to 80% of the EBITOA Performance Target, then an amount of 50% of the Target EBITOA Bonus is payable;
- c) between 81% and 99% of t he EBITDA Performance Target, In addition to the amount under point b) above, an additional amount of 2.5% of the Target EBITOA Bonus Is paid for each percentage point above the Actual EBITDA Performance t hat exceeds 81% of t he EBITOA Performance Target;
-
d) equal to 100% of the EBITDA Performance Target, an amount equal to the Target EBITDA Bonus Is payable;
-
e) between 101% and 120% of the EBITDA Performance Target, a proportional amo unt in addition to the Target EBITDA Bonus is payable. This is 2.5% of the Target EBITOA Bonus for each percentage point above the Actual EBITDA Performance between 101% and 120% (included) and 3% for each percentage of improvement over t h e Actual EBITDA Performance that exceeds 120% of the Target EBITDA Performance.
- the Target NFP Bonus is payable only If 70% of the EBITDA Performance Target Is reached ; if t his threshold is not reached, the rights to receive the NFP Bonus Target will not accrue, despite reaching the target performance relative to the net financial position/net debt. Notwithstanding the above, if the actual consolidated performance of the reference y e ar relat ive to the net financial position/net debt (The •Actual NFP Performance") Is:
- a) lower than 80%of the Actual NFP Performance, then the Target NFP Bonus is not pa id, even on a percentage basis, as the relative trigger threshold has not been reached ;
- b) equal to 80% of the Target NFP Bonus, then an amount of 50% of the Target N FP Bonus is payable;
- c) between 81% and 99% of the NFP Performance Target, in addition to the amount under point b) above, an additional amount of2.S% of the Target NFP Bonus is paid for each percentage points above the Actual NFP Performance that exceeds 81% of the NFP Performance Target;
- d) equal to 100% of the NFP Performance Target, an amount equal to t he Target N FP Bonus is payable;
- e) between 101% and 120% of the Target NFP Bonus, a proportional amount in addition to the Target NFP Bonus is payable. This is 2.5% of the Target NFP Bonus for each percentage point above t he Actual NFP Performance between 101% and l;io% (included) of the Actual NFP Performance and 3% for each percentage of improvement over t he Actual NFP Performance that exceeds 120% of the Target EBITDA Performance.
For each financial year, in line with the Remuneration Policy adopted, the Board of Directors has the power to set other terms and conditions in addition to the Performance Targets t hat must be met for the payment of the bonus, such as the introduction of a different incentive system In view of p reestablished strategic company objectives.
