REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 1 OF THE ORDINARY MEETING

2020 Financial Statements.

  • a) Approval of the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2020; Report of the Board of Directors; Board of Statutory Auditors' and Independent Auditors' Report. Related and consequent resolutions.
  • b) Allocation of the profit for the year 2020 and distribution of the dividend. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

Concerning the description of the first item of the agenda for the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, please refer to the information published as required by law within the annual Financial Report and, in particular, to the issues included in the Management Report prepared by the Board of Directors of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company") as well as the reports by the Board of Statutory Auditors and by the Independent Auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A.; the aforementioned documentation will be made publicly available in its entirety as prescribed by law at the Company's registered office and on its website (www.unipol.it) under Governance/Shareholders' Meetings/2021/Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 29 April 2021.

The consolidated financial statements and the other documents pursuant to Art. 154-ter, paragraph 1 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, shall also be made available as described above.

In relation to the proposed distribution of the dividend, with reference to the recommendations formulated by the EU and national Authorities to adopt an extremely prudent stance owing to the persistence of the epidemiological situation, it should be noted that Unipol boasts significant current and forward-looking capital strength; in fact, at 31 December 2020, the individual Solvency Ratio stood at 2.16 x (using the Partial Internal Model as authorised by IVASS), with an excess capital of roughly €4.9 billion, net of the 2020 dividend. Therefore, it is believed that all the conditions are met, including therein the capital strength ratios, for distributing said dividend, with the company's capacity to absorb the impacts of the epidemiological emergency on its business model and on its solvency, liquidity and consolidated financial position remaining safeguarded.

The Board of Directors therefore hereby submits the following resolution proposals.

Proposed approval of the 2020 financial statements

"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company"),

  • having examined the draft financial statements of the Company at 31 December 2020;
  • having examined the results of said draft financial statements, which recorded a profit for the year of €316,348,942.67;

  • having viewed the Management Report of the Board of Directors at 31 December 2020;
  • having accepted the Board of Statutory Auditors' Report and the report prepared by the Independent Auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A.;

hereby resolves

to approve the financial statements of Unipol at 31 December 2020, accompanied by the Management Report and recording profit for the year of €316,348,942.67.

Proposed approval of the allocation of profit for the year and dividend distribution

"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company"),

  • having approved the Company's financial statements at 31 December 2020, which recorded a profit for the year of €316,348,942.67 ("Profit for the year");
  • having acknowledged that the legal reserve existing at 31 December 2020 and unchanged at the current date, has already reached the limit of 20% of the share capital;
  • having also acknowledged that as things currently stand, the Company holds 379,825 ordinary treasury shares,

hereby resolves

  • to approve the proposed allocation of the Profit for the year at 31 December 2020, in compliance with Art. 19 of the By-Laws as follows:
    • to the Extraordinary Reserve, €115,562,711.43;
    • the remainder of the profit, equal to 63.47% of the total, to the dividend for the 717,093,683 ordinary shares outstanding, at €0.28 per share and thus for a total of €200,786,231.24;
  • to therefore approve the distribution of an overall unit dividend, also in consideration of the redistribution of the dividend pertaining to treasury shares, equal to €0.28 for each entitled ordinary share, for a total of €200,786,231.24, also with warning that the possible change in the number of treasury shares in the portfolio of the Company at the time of the distribution will have no incidence on the amount of the unit dividend as established above, but will increase or decrease the amount set aside to the extraordinary reserve;
  • to set the dividend payment date as 26 May 2021 (ex-dividend date of 24 May 2021 and record date of 25 May 2021)."

The Board of Directors

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 2 OF THE ORDINARY MEETING

Composition of the Board of Directors. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

We remind you that, on 15 September 2020, the Director of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company") Mr. Paolo Alemagna, non-executive and non-independent, stepped down from office– due to professional reasons –, effective from 1 October 2020. On that last date, the Company's Board of Directors replaced the outgoing Director – pursuant to Art. 2386, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code, with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors – with Mario Cifiello, whose term of office comes to an end at the time of this Shareholders' Meeting.

Therefore, pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, it is necessary to appoint a Director, recalling, in this regard, that according to the provisions of Art. 10 of the current By-Laws of Unipol, if "during the year one or more Directors cease to hold office, as long as the majority still consists of Directors appointed by the Meeting, the procedure, pursuant to Art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, will be as follows:

  • i) the Board of Directors appoints the deputies from among the candidates belonging to the same list as the departing Directors in order starting with the first non-elected candidate, provided that, if the deputy must meet the requirements of independence and/or must belong to the least represented gender, the first unelected independent candidate on the same list will be appointed and/or the first unelected candidate belonging to the least represented gender on the same list;
  • ii) if the above list does not contain candidates not previously elected, the Board of Directors provides for the replacement of the departing Directors without observing the provisions of point i), while, nevertheless, respecting the gender proportion laid down by the laws and regulations in force."

In this regard, it should be noted that:

  • Mr. Alemagna had been appointed by the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on 18 April 2019 from the majority list submitted by the Shareholders' Agreement and regarding Unipol shares (the "Majority List"), which included 19 candidates, 18 of whom (including Mr. Alemagna himself) had been then elected, along with the first candidate on the list that received the second greatest number of votes;
  • considering that the last person of the Majority List, a candidate for replacing the outgoing Director pursuant to the Company's By-laws, had communicated that his professional commitments did not allow him to fulfil the position, at the present time, and with no additional candidates to be elected remaining on said list, the replacement rules set forth in the By-laws in relation to the list voting procedure did not apply in the case in point;
  • the Board of Directors in the meeting of 1 October 2020 referred to appointed

therefore Mr. Mario Cifiello, pursuant to Art. 2386, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code and the Company's By-laws in force, as non-executive Director, replacing Mr. Alemagna;

with the date of this Shareholders' Meeting approaching, the last person of the aforementioned Majority List communicated that his professional commitments continue to prevent him from assuming the position.

Therefore, we invite you to appoint Mr. Mario Cifiello, whose experience and professional expertise are also listed in his CV, attached to this report, as Director of the Company.

We also inform you that – according to what is set forth in the documentation he submitted and the evaluations conducted in this respect by the Board of Directors of the Company upon his appointment – the candidate:

  • meets the requirements laid out by applicable legislation;
  • is in no situations of incompatibility pursuant to Italian Law no. 214/2011 on interlocking directorates;
  • is not classified as an Independent Director, neither pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance) nor the Code of Corporate Governance of listed companies.

The appointment of Mr. Cifiello would continue to ensure the presence on the Board of Directors of the number of independent Directors prescribed by applicable legislation and compliance with the provisions on gender balance in force.

Should the Shareholders' Meeting approve his appointment, Mr. Cifiello's term of office will end along with that of the entire Board of Directors at the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2021 financial statements.

The Board of Directors therefore hereby submits the following resolution proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting.

Proposal

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. (the "Company"),

after reviewing the Report of the Board of Directors,

hereby resolves

  • to confirm the number of members of the Board of Directors as 19, as determined by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company on 18 April 2019;
  • to appoint as Director of the Company, pursuant to Art. 2386, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code, Mr. Mario Cifiello, born in Bologna on 25 June 1951, with address for purposes of his office at the registered office of the Company in Bologna, via Stalingrado 45, taxpayer ID code CFLMRA51H25A944K, Italian citizen, whose term of office will end along with that of the Directors in office and, therefore, at the time of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2021;

  • to allow the Director thus appointed, pursuant to Art. 2390 of the Italian Civil Code and within the applicable legal limits, to be part, or become part, of Boards of Directors of other companies.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 3

Report on the remuneration policy and on compensation paid. Related and consequent resolutions.

  • c) Approval of the first section of the Report on the remuneration policy and on compensation paid, pursuant to Art. 123-ter, paragraph 3 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 (TUF) and Arts. 41, 59 and 93 of IVASS Regulation no. 38/2018.
  • d) Resolution on the second section of the Report on the remuneration policy and on compensation paid, pursuant to Art. 123-ter, Par. 6, of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance).

Dear Shareholders,

IVASS Regulation no. 38, 3 July 2018, ("IVASS Regulation") provides, also in reference to the Italian ultimate parent company, (such as Unipol Gruppo S.p.A., below "Unipol" or "Company") the power of the Shareholders' Meeting to approve the remuneration policy, also for the group

In this regard, we note that this power is granted by Art. 8 of the by-laws; which states: "The ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, [...] approves the remuneration policy, also at the group level, of the corporate bodies and of the employees, including the remuneration plans based on financial instruments."

In particular, Art. 93, Par. 1 and 2 of IVASS Regulation states that the administrative body of the Italian ultimate parent company "specifies, in line with the Group risk management strategies and policy, the Group risk appetite and risk tolerance limits, the Group remuneration policies, guaranteeing that the same are adequately aligned to the characteristics of group companies", also noting that these policies "apply also to those carrying out administration, direction and control functions at the Italian ultimate parent company, the Managers and higher level personnel of the Key Functions, as well as to the other key personnel, identified by the Italian ultimate parent company."

In addition, Article 123-ter of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 ("Consolidated Law on Finance") provides for companies with listed shares to publish, at least twenty-one days before the date set for the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements, a report ("Report") on the remuneration policy and on compensation paid in regard of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, the General Managers and Key Managers.

This regulatory framework is also supplemented by the remuneration standards and criteria recommended by the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies, which the Company has adopted.

In the light of the above, the Board of Directors of Unipol has approved the Report of the Company, prepared pursuant - besides Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance - to

Art. 41 and Art. 59 of the IVASS Regulation, referred by Art. 93, Par. 6 of IVASS Regulation, as well as Art. 84-quater of CONSOB Regulation n. 11971, 14 May 1999 and subsequent amendments and integrations, which is divided into the following two sections:

  • the first section lays out the remuneration policies adopted by the Company for the financial year 2021, in particular in regard to the members of the administration, direction and control bodies, the Heads and the most senior staff of the Key Functions of the Group, the Key Managers, and additional relevant personnel, as well as the procedures used for their adoption and implementation;
  • the second section provides an adequate description of each remuneration item and describes, individually by name for the members of the administration and control bodies, the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and the General Manager and in aggregate form for the Key Managers of the Company (including the Managers of the Key Functions), the compensation paid/due by the Company in the reference financial year (i.e. 2020) for any reason and in any form. Lastly, information is provided on the equity investments held, by the aforementioned parties, in the listed companies and their subsidiaries. In this context, pursuant to the Regulations, we also provide information on the implementation of the remuneration policies in favour of the "key personnel" of the Group, consisting- in line with the resolutions of the administrative body- of the Key Managers of both Unipol and the subsidiary UnipolSai S.p.A. We note that:
    • taking into account the spread of the epidemiological emergency from COVID-19 and the related effects on the domestic economy, as well as the demands made by IVASS in its notice dated 30 March 2020, at its meeting held on 2 April 2020, the Unipol's Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, decided to suspend all assessments on the payment of the variable remuneration for the 2019 financial year to the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, General Manager and all Managers, postponing all decisions in this respect to a subsequent meeting of the administrative body, taking into account the evolution of the general context;
    • acknowledging the contents of the IVASS communication dated 29 July 2020, in which the Authority has, among other things, recommended that - at least until 1 January 2021 - companies "do not create an obligation to pay the variable component of remuneration to company officers, and also inform with sufficient notice (IVASS) of obligations undertaken to pay to personnel qualifying as 'significant risk takers' the variable component of remuneration", at the meeting of 6 August 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to abide by the IVASS recommendations and postpone to a later board meeting any decision regarding payment of the variable remuneration component for the 2019 financial year to Managers not classified as significant risk takers;
    • lastly, at its meeting on 12 November 2020, the Board of Directors confirmed that the conditions necessary to go ahead with the disbursement of the 2019

short-term variable remuneration component (Short-Term Incentive - STI) had been met, in regard to the sole category of Managers not classified as significant risk takers.

In particular, pursuant to the afore-mentioned Art. 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Shareholders' Meeting shall be called to cast a binding vote on the first section and an advisory vote on the second section of the Report.

Pursuant to the IVASS Regulation, the Risk Management and Compliance Functions reviewed the remuneration policies in question for the 2021 financial year, confirming, the former, the consistency of the objectives, principles and their definition with the risk appetite of the Company and, the second, compliance with the internal and external regulatory framework.

The Audit Function instead verified the correspondence between the remuneration policies for the 2020 financial year, and the related implementation procedures.

The Board of Directors therefore has submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting, with separate vote, the following draft resolutions related to the first and second sections of the Report.

Proposal on the first section of the Report on the remuneration policy and on compensation paid.

"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. (the "Company"),

The principles and guidelines of the Group Remuneration Policies are consistent with 1developments in the relevant legislation, and are set out on an evolving basis in line with the Remuneration Policies defined for previous years, confirming the purpose to help to guarantee the company's results, including long-term ones, in accordance with the expectations of the Shareholders and stakeholders while adopting a prudent approach to risk management and the sustainability of costs, within a competitive market aligned with international standards.

The Group Remuneration Policies that apply to the members of the Company Bodies and Key Personnel, are added to the Segment or Company Remuneration Policies in accordance with whether the companies belong to a specific business segment or the standard regulatory context in which they operate. With regard to the Group's foreign companies, they comply with the guidelines of the Parent Company on Remuneration matters, in line with the legal and regulatory provisions in effect in the country in which they operate, taking account of the specific nature of the market and typical market practices in their reference context.

The Group remuneration policies confirm the principle according to which incentive systems contain variable pay components linked to reaching short and long-term objectives defined beforehand, of which a portion is significantly deferred, and for all segments observe rigorous balancing between the monetary component and a component that is based on financial instruments, for both the short and long-term components. In fact, the Unipol Group is convinced that this aspect of the Group Remuneration policies is also able to encourage, as an indirect but no less important result, the promulgation of a professional culture directed towards creating sustainable value over time and direct participation in the results, therefore creating joint responsibility for and real involvement in business objectives.

1 In addition to what is set out above, article 7 of Regulation IVASS 44/2019, in virtue of which the Unipol Group put instruments in place to help promote and spread an internal control culture to monitor the risk of money-laundering and avoid company policies and remuneration practices that counteract the purpose of preventing said risk. With regard to sustainability, EU Regulation 2088 which came into effect in March 2021 applies, and has the aim of promoting 'sustainable' investment choices, inviting the Insurance Groups, the asset management companies and the financial consultants to shed light on the ways in which environmental, societal impact and governance risks (ESG factors) are considered in their investment decisions (including regarding insurance investment products). Finally, the Remuneration principles set out under the IDD Directive are referred to, which provide - with special reference to parties involved in the insurance product governance and control process, financial management of assets and the resources underlying the insurance and pension products, and the direct insurance distribution activities - a reward system that does not compromise the obligation to always act honestly, impartially and professionally in the best interests of the customers in line with the "Policy on managing conflicts of interest - Insurance Segment" of the Unipol Group.

II. WHAT'S NEW IN 2021

In order to continue to perfect the Group Remuneration Policies, in 2020 the Remuneration Committee, while carrying out its functions, made an in-depth analysis, also in consideration of the voting expressed on the matter by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 30 April 2020, paying particular attention to the level of alignment of the interests of the Shareholders and Management, to the consistency of the Remuneration Policies with the long-term strategy of the Group, also in terms of sustainability, to the adjustment of the policies to the applicable laws - at Italian and European level - and the evaluation of the main market best practices.

Certain changes were made to this Report compared to previous years, both through re-processing the format and by adding to the content. These changes also aim at complying with regulatory requests introduced with the recent update of the Issuer's Regulation of 10 December 2020 and to improve the ease with which the Report can be used. With the aim of continuing to promote increasingly clear and effective information on remuneration matters, special attention was reserved to the following elements:

  • an easy to read representation of the summary information of the Report, by simplifying the introductory executive summary section;
  • a broad description of the Group Policies on remuneration, placing more emphasis on elements of primary importance such as the performance objectives of the variable incentive systems for the figure of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and the General Manager;
  • more details on the existing agreements on terminating employment.

The impact of the Remuneration Policies architecture on certain relevant matters was also highlighted, including:

  • the connection between Group Policies, corporate strategy and the pursuit of long-term interests, with a special focus on sustainability;
  • the description of the peer Group of companies adopted as a reference to define the Remuneration Policies;
  • the summary of the results of the voting expressed by the Shareholders' meeting of 30 April 2020 on the Report on the Remuneration policy and the compensation paid.

III. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PURPOSE, PRINCIPLES OF THE POLICIES AND ALIGNMENT WITH THE LONG-TERM STRATEGY

The Remuneration Policies were developed in line with the business strategy and sustainability strategy of the Group, putting special focus on the creation of long-term value and the alignment of the interests of the Shareholders with those of Management and taking account of the interests of all the otherStakeholders, within the framework of sound and prudent management of current and prospective risks.

Taking inspiration from the Mission and Values of Foresight, Respect and Responsibility of the Group, the Remuneration Policies are defined in order to guarantee fair Remuneration, adequate to the extent and level of responsibility, professional competence and experience required by the job and the individual capacity in order to attract, motivate, place value on and keep key resources.

In line with the "Mission Evolve 2019-2021" Strategic Plan, and with the sustainability strategy of the Group, the Remuneration Policies are structured over a long-term time horizon with variable incentive systems that provide for mechanisms of deferral and adequate balancing between the share and the monetary components and include strategic performance objectives that also involve sustainability issues.

The Remuneration Policies are also prepared in compliance with the law as provided by both Italian and European laws and self-governance rules for the sector, regulatory provisions concerning issuer companies and the Code of Corporate Governance for listed companies.

2021 REMUNERATION POLICIES

9 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

1. Purpose, principles of the Group Policies and alignment with the long-term company strategies

The Remuneration Policies are valid for a year, and were developed in line with the business strategy and sustainability strategy of the Group, organised on a long-term basis, with special focus on the creation of long-term value and the alignment of the interests of the Shareholders with those of Management and taking account of the interests of all the other Stakeholders, within the framework of sound and prudent management of current and prospective risks.

On 9 May 2019, the Board of Directors of Unipol approved the 2019-2021 Strategic Plan "Mission Evolve" for the 2019- 2021 three-year period. The Group's strategic vision is aimed at developing a consolidated leadership position in the insurance sector and a leading position in ecosystems, with a focus on the mobility, welfare and property sectors. In order to pursue these objectives, precise strategic guidelines were identified: i) the continuous research into increasingly advanced levels of technical and technological excellence in the areas of pricing, selection of risk and settlement capacity; ii) development and strengthening of an increasingly effective distribution network; iii) creation of an integrated ecosystem of skills and assets at Group level; iv) investment in people and technology to define an operating model aimed at increased simplification and effectiveness; and v) creation of shared value for the Group and its Stakeholders, identified as Shareholders and Investors, Employees, Agents and Business Partners, Customers, Suppliers, the Civil Community and future generations, helping to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs.

The business strategy of the Unipol Group therefore steers both the Remuneration Policy time period and the underlying performance objectives and conditions to project their effects and benefits on sustainable targets.

In general, the Group, Segment or Company Policies are defined in accordance with the Mission of the Unipol Group, illustrated in the Charter of Values, which states, inter alia, that "The Group pursues business management that is efficient, profitable and sustainable over time, based on the contribution and empowerment of our people". This statement provides important guidance regarding not only the general formulation of Remuneration policies, which seek to pursue a long-term sustainable approach, but also highlight its vocation to be an important tool for professional development;

The Values of the Unipol Group include in particular its Far-sightedness, Respect and Responsibility, which give the Remuneration policies an approach that is also based on qualitative and not only quantitative aspects.

Following on from previous years, the Remuneration Policies are defined in order to guarantee fair remuneration, adequate to the extent and level of responsibility, professional competence and experience required by the job and the individual capacity in order to attract, motivate, place value on and keep key resources. The Remuneration

10 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

Policies were also defined in accordance with the provisions of the laws, regulations and articles of association, and any codes of ethics, promoting the adoption of behaviour that complies with them and that are consistent with the requirements of sustainable performance.

The remuneration will not affect the ability of the enterprise to maintain an adequate capital base. In addition, the remuneration agreements with the suppliers of services will not encourage the taking on of excessive risks, in consideration of the risk management strategy of the company.

The consequences of any breaches of the law or codes of ethics are made known to Personnel through adequate internal communication channels.

The following principles are the essential parameters for the determination of remuneration:

  • a sound and prudent risk management policy, in line with the Parent Company's and the Group's long-term strategic objectives, profitability and balance, to be interpreted as tailored to the specific characteristics of the different sectors, avoiding remuneration policies based exclusively or mainly on short-term results, that would incentivise the excessive exposure or assumption of risks exceeding the risk tolerance limits established by the Board of Directors;
  • internal equity, so that both the fixed and variable components of remuneration are consistent (i) with the position held and the connected responsibilities, the role assigned, the experience gained, skills, capacities demonstrated and performance, as well as (ii) with the nature, extent and complexity of the risks inherent in business activities;
  • meritocracy, so that the results achieved and the conduct enacted to achieve them are rewarded;
  • dialogue with the reference markets, in order to create competitive pay packages, with a view to the trends, the directions and best practices, in order to sustain sound, lawful and effective competitiveness;
  • the level of risk monitoring, differentiated on the basis of the Unipol Group and the business line to which it refers, for the purpose of basing Remuneration Policies on sound and prudent risk management.

1.1 Alignment of the Remuneration Policies with the sustainability strategy

With regard to sustainability in particular, the Group believes that the opportunities and well-being of the customers and people who work with it on a daily basis are the necessary conditions for its market development capacity and its sustainable success. At Group level, a sustainability policy has therefore been implemented aimed at tracking the strategies and risk management goals relating to areas with environmental, social and governance impact (ESG) of the Group and the Companies in Scope considered to be significant.

The Group undertakes to participate in sustainable development, as defined by the above-mentioned UN Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs, integrating the ESG issues into the business model and its strategic planning activities in order to draw up effective responses and generate shared value with its Stakeholders. From that standpoint, the sustainability strategy of the Unipol Group can be set out as per the following pillars:

Development and protection of human capital: the integration of multiple skills, capacities and attitudes contribute in a fundamental way to the creation of value. To that end, through specific Group guidelines, the Parent Company will coordinate and monitor the conditions of work and remuneration of employees, also encouraging consistent and adequate remuneration policies. To that end, the Group works to protect as best as possible, the health and safety at work, with an incremental approach with respect to what is provided by applicable laws. In the emergency situation resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, important initiatives were also adopted to allow employees to work safely, setting up "agile" working mechanisms for almost all of the company workers. A company Welfare system was provided for all employees and their families as part of the engagement process and to motivate the personnel, in addition to listening activities and direct involvement of employees. Numerous initiatives were adopted in order to develop the human capital, including the activities carried out by UNICA, the Corporate Academy of the Group that focuses on professional and skilled job training. With regard to the Inclusion & Diversity issues, the Group has also defined guidelines to create a modern, respectful place of work that promotes opportunities for everyone.

Protection of the environment, the ecosystems, and tackling climate change: Unipol Group supports a
preventive approach with regard to environmental challenges, identifying and measuring the impact of its
activities in the short, medium and long-term, adopting processes and technologies intended to reduce
negative external factors. The system for risk governance, opportunities and impacts linked to climate and
nature is set out on an operational basis within the Scope of specific risk management policies, which include
the "Guidelines for responsible investing activities".
Inclusion and financial education: starting from the interpretation of current and emerging social and
environmental issues, and from a discussion with Stakeholders, the Group undertakes inclusive initiatives and
projects which guarantee expansion of access to insurance services by the disadvantaged segments of
society and help to reduce inequalities.
Customer protection:The Unipol Group has defined a culture of accessibility and transparency at all levels of
the company and has strict control procedures that involve the various company divisions.
Correct business practices: pursued through the definition of an organisational, management and control
model, and procedures designed to prevent the commission of offences and violations as part of business
operations.
Due Diligence: the Group undertakes to adopt suitable, structured measures to identify, prevent, mitigate
and take account of how to deal with the negative impacts, actual and potential, on corporate governance,
employment, human rights, environment, corruption and consumers in its activities, in the chain of supply and
in other commercial relations.

In that context, the Group Remuneration Policies support the sustainability strategy, since they are defined over the long term, through variable incentive systems that provide for mechanisms of deferral and balancing between bonuses paid in monetary form and bonuses paid through financial instruments: these elements contribute towards the purpose of aligning the interests of Management with those of the Shareholders.

Additionally, in that context, with a view to monitoring the ESG factors and effectiveness in identifying areas of activity that can create value over the long term, also in line with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, the Unipol Group defined guidelines for responsible investing, allowing for the management, inter alia and in line with the scope provided, of the integration of the risks of sustainability in the decision-making processes relating to the investments.

The Variable Component of the remuneration is also related to sustainability issues using a specific performance indicator:

Reputation and Sustainability

The performance objectives of the 2019-2021 long-term incentive component, in accordance with the strategic plan, include an indicator linked to the reputational profile of the Unipol Group in the three-year period of the incentive system, to be compared with the profile registered by the financial-insurance sector as a whole. The indicator is calculated and measured on the basis of the RepTrak® model, that considers the sustainability performance to be one of the key elements of measurement, with that relating for example to the well-being of the employees, the adoption of ethical and transparent governance and contributions to the goals of tackling climate change and protecting the environment3 . In that context, the ability to monitor the sustainability risks in the investment activities and to support, as a player in the financial system, the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda and the transition towards a sustainable economy are all noted as aspects of significant relevance to protect the Group's reputation.

1.2 Aims of the various remuneration components

The Fixed Component remunerates the extent and level of responsibility, the complexity of what has to be managed and the experience required for the job; it also remunerates the skills and abilities held. It entails a rigid economic base, provided for by the applicable Collective Labour Agreements and, if present, the Additional Company Agreements, any other bilateral agreements and specific internal rules. Internal fairness reasons, competitiveness, attractiveness, meritocracy or the attribution of greater responsibilities may lead to the payment of additional fixed amounts, consolidating them over time

3 In particular, the indicator is calculated and measured on the basis of specific reputational drivers of the company: products and services, innovation, workplace (that also includes the level of remuneration, benefit, work-life balance and training), governance (intended as ethical behaviour, transparency, fairness), citizenship (intended as activities aimed at favouring the environment and the community), leadership and performance.

12 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

The Variable Component is based on two main objectives:

  • rewarding results achieved in the short and long term, expressed not only in the form of economic revenue, but also in the form of attention to risks and qualitative performance;
  • developing professional skills while enacting an effective retention policy.

The incentive systems are based on variable pay components linked to reaching short and long term objectives defined beforehand, of which a portion is significantly deferred, and observing rigorous balancing between the monetary component and that based on financial instruments, for both the short and long-term components.

The following principles identified to give incentives to the Recipients therefore constitute specific parameters with reference to the Remuneration Policies, where they include variable components:

  • an appropriate balance between the Fixed Componentand the Variable Component of the remuneration, with the latter linked to pre-set, objective and measurable efficiency criteria, to strengthen the link between performance and remuneration and setting limits to them beforehand;
  • the establishment, as regards the Variable Component of remuneration, of an adequate balance between monetary disbursements and/or disbursements in financial instruments;
  • sustainability thanks to the proper balance between short and long-term efficiency criteria that the remuneration is based on;
  • the deferred payment of a significant part of the Variable Component, whose duration is differentiated in accordance with the percentage of the Fixed Component and in any case, not less than that required under applicable laws;
  • the existence of Malus clauses that provide for the reduction to zero of the Variable Component if certain conditions are met, and claw-back clauses that provide for the option to ask for a return of what was already disbursed if certain conditions are met;
  • the establishment of a year-long period of unavailability with reference to the amounts disbursed in financial instruments;
  • the prohibition against relying on hedging strategies4 or specific insurance against the risk of a downward correction of remuneration, which could alter or invalidate the chance effects connected to the provision of deferred bonuses and paid in the form of financial instruments;
  • a different impact on the risk profiles of the Parent Company and the Group depending on the position held and the responsibilities assigned.

The reference model on which the architecture of the remuneration systems are designed is based on the correlation among the following elements:

  • the results of the Unipol Group (including the results in terms of adequacy of the risks taken on with respect to the pre-established goals);
  • the results of the Reference Company;
  • the results of the operational areas of responsibility of the Recipient;
  • the individual performances.

1.3 Hedging

In accordance with article 275, paragraph 2, letter (g) of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, with respect to Key Personnel and in general the Recipients, personal hedging strategies or remuneration and liability-related insurance which would undermine the risk alignment effects embedded in their remuneration arrangement may not be used.

2. The Group Policy Recipients

The Group Policies are addressed to Unipol and the Companies in Scope, including those considered to be relevant for the purpose of the sound and prudent management of the Group which, therefore, will have to adopt their own

4 This includes, but is not limited to, entering into option contracts or other forward derivative contracts with third parties with underlying financial instruments that are the subject of incentives.

13 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

Remuneration Policies in line with the Group Policies. The Key Companies are identified by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company, subject to a preliminary analysis carried out by the applicable divisions of the Parent Company, aimed at checking the existence of the requirements mainly regarding the activities they carry out, the risk profile, the contribution to the risk levels of the Group, the percentage shareholding or control, the size and complexity of the organisation and the strategic relevance for the Group.

3.4 The Board of Statutory Auditors and the Control and Risks Committee

In accordance with article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors takes part in the meetings of the Remuneration Committee and expresses the opinions required by prevailing law with reference to the remuneration of the Directors holding special offices, checking the consistency with the general policies adopted by the Reference Company.

3.6 The Chief Human Resources Officer

The Chief Human Resources Officer, on the basis of the strategic guidelines provided by the Group General Manager, will be in charge of instructing and governing the process to reformulate the proposals relating to the Group Remuneration Policies and the Remuneration Policies of the Segments or Companies and will oversee the implementation, involving other functions where necessary and/or advisable.

3.7 The Key Functions

The Key Functions are involved, to the extent of their respective responsibilities, both in the prior stage of defining the Remuneration Policies, and in the subsequent stage of checking them; this is also in order to check any amendments made to the riskiness or the contribution to the Group risk profile.

To that end, inter alia:

  • the Chief Risk Officer, responsible for the Risk Management activities, will help ensure that the Remuneration Policies are consistent with the risk appetite, also through the definition of appropriate risk indicators and verification to ensure they are used properly;
  • the Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Function will check to ensure compliance with the objectives of complying with the self-regulatory provisions and prevailing laws in order to prevent and reduce the legal and reputational risks, and with regard to managing the risk of money-laundering, check to ensure the Remuneration Policies do not contain provisions that could potentially counteract the purpose of controlling and preventing said risk;
  • the Audit function checks to ensure the correct application of the Remuneration Policies with a view towards effectiveness and safeguarding the Group's capital.

The above-mentioned functions refer to the results of the checks carried out by the applicable bodies in charge of adopting any corrective measures; the results of the checks carried out are also brought to the attention of the Shareholders' Meeting of the Parent Company every year as part of the disclosure on the application of the Remuneration Policies.

The Key Functions, and the anti money-laundering and anti-terrorism oversight units at the Companies in Scope, where present, carry out the same activities as the Group as indicated above unless otherwise reported in the Segment or Company Policies.

3.8 Independent Experts

The Unipol Group used the consultancy services of Willis Towers Watson in order to prepare the Remuneration Policies as they are independent experts.

Previously, the Unipol Group also used other leading consultancy firms to check the best remuneration practices in its area of activity and for the development of an external competitiveness analysis on the market benchmarks with respect to companies in the sector considered to be comparable.

4. Market practices

The Unipol Group monitors the main market practices in the area of remuneration through benchmarking in order to check the competitiveness of the Remuneration on offer. To that end, generally similar companies in terms of sector, size and/or complexity are considered comparable to the Unipol Group.

More specifically, for the figures of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and General Manager, similar positions belonging to the following sample were considered in the past:

Assicurazioni
Generali
Intesa Sanpaolo Mediobanca UBI Banca Unicredit
--------------------------- ----------------- ------------ ----------- -----------

Similar positions belonging to the following companies were considered for the other Key Personnel:

Assicurazioni
Generali
AXA Banco BPM Cattolica Intesa Sanpaolo Mediobanca
Poste Italiane
(insurance and banking
sectors)
SACE UBI Banca Unicredit Zurich

The Unipol Group is now assessing whether to review the sample of comparable companies, also in view of the market developments currently in place in the Italian and European financial context.

5. Remuneration Policies for the Corporate Bodies

The Remuneration Policies for the Corporate Bodies are defined for the following roles:

  • Board of Directors, or:
    • Chairperson of the Board of Directors;
    • Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors;
    • Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO;
    • Directors who do not hold special offices;
  • Board of Statutory Auditors.

5.1 The remuneration of the Chairperson and the Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors

The remuneration of the Chairperson and the Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors includes a fixed salary decided by the Board of Directors, subject to the opinion of the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, in line with what was defined by the Board of Directors.

The following salaries were established for the position of Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company for the 2019-2021 term of office:

Chairperson of the
Unipol Group
Deputy
Chairperson of the
Unipol Group
Salary pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 3 of
the Civil Code
Euro 1,000,000 Euro 200,000

In accordance with the provisions of the law, the Chairperson and the Deputy Chairperson will not take part in the voting that relates to decisions on their salaries and will not take part in the board meeting relating to that topic.

There are also certain Benefits - as set out in paragraph 5.3 - completing the remuneration package, in accordance with applicable laws, taking account of market practices and according to what was provided for Directors holding special offices.

Additionally, a company car for business and personal use is made available, with the Unipol Group bearing the expense, along with a mobile telephone for business and personal use for the benefit of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Unipol Group.

5.2 The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO of the Unipol Group

The remuneration policy for the year 2021 for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO is in line with company strategies and is adequately balanced, in order to ensure consistency between the short and medium-long term development goals and sustainability of the creation of value for the Shareholders.

The remuneration comprises the elements described below, in line with the following Pay-mix:

5.2.1 Fixed Component

The Fixed Component remunerates the extent and level of responsibility, the complexity of what has to be managed, the experience required for the job and the delegated authority; it also remunerates the skills, abilities and experience held. The Fixed Component is also calculated by taking account of the market benchmark.

The Fixed Component is defined in a way to be adequately balanced compared to the Variable Component in accordance with the strategic objectives and the risk management policies of the Parent Company, also taking account of the business sector it operates in and the characteristics of the business activities actually carried out.

In addition to the fixed annual salary decided on by the Board of Directors, in accordance with article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, the Fixed Component includes the following elements (pursuant to paragraph 5.3) which does not constitute the basis of calculation for the variable remuneration:

  • i) the fixed annual salary as Director decided on by the Shareholders' Meeting;
  • ii) fees for attendance at meetings of the Chairperson's Committee.

Any other compensation received and being received to cover other roles in the other Group companies is transferred to the Unipol Group.

5.2.2 Variable Component

The aim of the Variable Component is to reward the results achieved in the short and medium-long term, sustainability and the creation of value for the Shareholders of the Unipol Group.

The performance objectives - i.e. the economic results and any other specific objectives to which the disbursement of the Variable Component is connected - are pre-established, objective, measurable and linked to the creation of value for the Shareholders over the medium-long period; in addition, the payment of a relevant portion of the Variable Component is deferred for an adequate length of time with respect to when it accrues. The measurement of that portion and the duration of the Deferral period are in line with the position held.

The Variable Remuneration is governed by the UPM System, aimed at developing a sustainable performance culture, which relates the Group's results to the individual performances.

The UPM System, is based on the logic of self-financing. An essential requirement for recognition of the incentives provided for is therefore, in addition to the persistence of positive effective economic results and to the minimisation of the risk factors, the presence of a Dividend Capability, i.e. the presence of the conditions, in terms of economic result and of minimum solvency requirements in regards of Unipol, for the possible distribution of a dividend to Unipol shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of the articles of association and of law in force at the time.

in accordance with the requirements of prevailing laws on Remuneration Policies, the UPM System complies with the following principles:

  • establishment of the results on which to measure the remuneration on the risk profile of the Group and the Group companies, on the attention paid to quality (for example compliance with external and internal laws) and not just on economic results;
  • greater independence from rewards linked to short-term economic results;
  • award of a substantial portion of the Actual Bonus in the form of financial instruments, which will be allocated in a way that ensures that the achievement of the relative economic advantages accrue gradually over time;
  • deferral of a significant portion of the Actual Bonus.

The Potential Bonus allocated is divided into the following components:

  • (i) an STI component, with 50% paid in monetary format and the remaining 50% in the form of financial instruments;
  • (ii) an LTI component, with 50% paid in monetary format and the remaining 50% in the form of financial instruments.

As specified in more detail herein, there are maximum limits to the above-mentioned variable components.

Table 1 below shows the Potential Bonus in more detail.

Potential Bonus:
Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO
STI LTI Total Bonus
maximum % with respect to fixed
salary 5
80% 120% 200%
% weight compared to Total
Bonus
40% 60% 100%

In accordance with the IVASS Guidelines, the Variable Remuneration to be allocated to the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO of the Unipol Group was identified as a Particularly High Amount based on its percentage value in relation to the fixed salary.

The STI component, if the Group objectives are achieved, is disbursed in full the year after the Year of Accrual, with 50% in monetary form and 50% in financial instruments.

The LTI component, if the Group objectives are achieved, will be paid starting from 2023, in five pro rata tranches, with 50% in monetary form and 50% in financial instruments.

The Malus and Claw-back clauses apply, as defined in paragraph 8.

The equity portions, attributed as Variable Remuneration, are subject to a Holding Period with a duration of one year.

5.2.2.1 Short-Term Bonus (STI)

The access to the UPM System is subject to the achievement of objectives that take account of current and prospective risks connected to the results pre-established by the Unipol Group and related charges in terms of the cost of capital used and the necessary cash.

Two conditions of access are provided for, linked to Group objectives:

  • achieving at least 90% of the Consolidated Gross Profit objective of the 6 Unipol Group pursuant to the budget approved by the Parent Company for the Year of Accrual;
  • the existence of a consolidated coverage ratio (capital adequacy) of the Unipol Group calculated in accordance with the Solvency II 7 metric, equal to 100% of the fixed objective for the Year of Accrual by the applicable decision-making bodies; a value of between 100% and 80% of the objective, provided that the result is not less than 1.08 , reduces the Actual Bonus by 25%, which will be reduced to zero if said value is less than 80% of the objective or at 1.0

5 The basis of calculation for the variable remuneration comprises the fixed annual salary as Chief Executive Officer of the Unipol Group as decided by the Board of Directors meeting of 1 August 2019 pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Civil Code.

6 Subject to any changes and/or additions, decided on by the applicable company bodies in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policies, resulting from factors that are not related to the ordinary industrial management of the individual businesses.

7 Solvency Ratio defined as part of the Risk Appetite Statement approved by the Administrative Body. Indicator and value defined in accordance with current provisions and subject to discounting / revision in the event of changes in the relevant law in force at the time.

8 In any case, not less than the Risk Tolerance value approved by the Board of Directors of the Unipol Group within the Scope of the Risk Appetite Statement.

2021 Individual objectives (see Table 3 for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO)

The Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO are assigned four individual objectives every year, including both qualitative and quantitative, and each of these is associated with a "weight" that identifies the importance with respect to all the individual objectives.

These objectives- with the first two being strategic objectives for the Group, in accordance with the risk profiles defined - are organised as indicated below:

  • First individual quantitative objective (weight: 30%)
  • Second individual quantitative objective (weight: 30%)
  • Individual qualitative objective (weight: 20%)
  • Management skills development objective (weight: 20%)

The final balance of each individual objective is calculated by applying the following percentage values to the weight related to the objective itself:

  • Not achieved = 0% of the weight of the individual objective;
  • Partially achieved = 50% of the weight of the individual objective;
  • Achieved = 100% of the weight of the individual objective.

The two quantitative Objectives can be considered to have been achieved under the same conditions as the corresponding objectives constituting the entrance gates of the Incentive System as set out above, therefore applying the same thresholds and progressive criteria as they provide for.

The overall Individual performance Level is obtained by adding together the performance values of the individual objectives, determined as set out above.

An Individual Performance Level of less than 60% - as the sum of the weights of the single objectives achieved - results in an Actual Bonus of zero.

In the event of failure to achieve even one of the two quantitative objectives, even if the result calculated as envisaged generates a value equal to or over 60%, it will result in the "Not achieved" status, and the Actual Bonus will be zero.

The Pay-out curve of the STI Bonus is shown below in accordance with the individual performance as calculated above:

Any disbursement of the STI Bonus will be made by May of the year following the Year of Accrual (i.e. by May 2022 for the STI 2021 Bonus).

The STI Bonus comprises two parts: one part, equal to 50% of its amount, in monetary form; the other apart, equal to the remaining 50%, in Shares: a Holding Period will apply to the Shares, with a duration of one year, which will start from when the Recipient has tangible access to the Shares. This duration is considered adequate in relation to the characteristics of the result measurement systems to measure the risks taken on in the various business units, including the risk-adjustment mechanisms.

The number of Shares attributable is calculated by dividing 50% of the value of the STI Bonus in two equal parts. One part is related to the average value of the ordinary Unipol share recorded in January of the Year of Accrual, while the other part is related to the average value of the ordinary UnipolSai share also recorded in January of the Accrual Year.

The Malus and Claw-back clauses apply to the STI Bonus, as defined in paragraph 8.

5.2.2.2 Long-term Bonus (LTI)

The UPM System provides, after the end of the Three Years of Accrual, for the disbursement of the LTI Bonus, where the amount is calculated (as illustrated herein) in proportion to the Actual STI Bonus.

The LTI Bonus is assigned in accordance with a closed plan set out over the three years of the Industrial Plan (2019-2020-2021)

The amount of the LTI Bonus is related to both the STI performance achieved, and the achievement - including separately - of the indicators reported in the table below.

Table 4

Applying the provisions pertaining to the Particularly High Amount of the Variable Remuneration to the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO - as mentioned above - the annual amount of the LTI Bonus is given by a fifth of the amount of the Actual LTI Bonus accrued in the Three Years of Accrual, re-proportioned on the basis of achievement of the long-term objectives. Any disbursement will be on a pro rata basis by January of each of the years 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The LTI Bonus comprises two parts: one part, equal to 50% of the amount, in monetary form; the other part, equal to the remaining 50%, in Shares. A Holding Period applies to the Shares, with a duration of one year, running from when the Recipient has tangible access to the Shares. This duration is considered adequate in relation to the characteristics of the result measurement systems to measure the risks taken on in the various business units, including the risk-adjustment mechanisms.

The number of Shares attributable is calculated by dividing 50% of the value of the LTI Bonus into two equal parts. One part relates to the average value of the ordinary Unipol share recorded in January 2019, while the other part is related to the average value of the ordinary UnipolSai share recorded also in January 2019.

The Malus and Claw-back clauses apply to the LTI Bonus, as defined in paragraph 8.

5.2.2.3 Terms of disbursement

Please refer to paragraph 6.3.2.4 for the rules on disbursing the monetary component and the attribution of the Shares relating to the portion of STI and LTI Bonuses due.

5.2.3 Benefit

  • a mobile telephone for mixed business and personal use.

Insurance cover will also be provided - as provided for the Directors - covering the risks connected to third-party liability deriving from legal and contractual obligations inherent in the office of Director and the related legal protection (i.e. D&O Policy).

5.2.4 Severance

There are no agreements in place at the moment regarding any compensation in the event of resignation, revocation of the office/job or leaving it.

With regard to termination of the appointment, please refer to paragraph 6.3.2.4 for more information on the incentive plans.

At the moment, there are no non-compete agreements in place, or no allocation or maintenance of nonmonetary benefits, and there are no consultation contracts in place for a period following the termination of the mandate.

In relation to the managerial relationship, please refer to paragraph 6.6.

In any event, this component is determined in a manner that can guarantee adequate remuneration, even if no variable incentives are provided.

The Boards of Directors of the companies that form part of the Group may pay their respective General Managers a salary for the position (fixed and/or variable) which may be considered useful in order to form the basis of the calculation of the Variable Component to be calculated using the methods described in paragraph 6.3

6.3 Variable Component

6.3.1 Breakdown of the Managers into Brackets

Key Personnel who qualify as managers and the remaining management staff of the Unipol Group companies - apart from the General Manager of the Unipol Group - are broken down into Brackets, related to the weight of the organisational position, the significance and complexity of the role and of the position. The "weight" is measured using a method certified by leading specialist companies in the area of Human Capital and recognised at international level.

In particular:

  • The Top Executives of the Group are included in the Executive Bracket;
  • the holders of roles with high levels of complexity and organisational importance are included in the 1st Bracket;
  • the holders of roles with specific organisational significance are included in the 2nd Bracket;
  • The remaining holders of other roles are included in the 3rd Bracket.

Allocation to the Brackets is made on the proposal of the Chief Human Resources Officer, who uses the most appropriate methods to weigh the positions present on the market as specified above, and the approval of the Group General Manager of Unipol. The allocation to the Brackets is updated and revised at least once a year.

Different approaches are taken in the breakdown into Brackets compared to the Remuneration Policies, including the different structuring and quantification relating to the Variable Incentive as described in paragraph 6.1 (i.e. Pay-mix). The Pay-mix described above is applied to the General Manager of the Unipol Group.

The reference Bracket is the one that the Recipient is assigned to over a time period mainly in the Year of Accrual.

6.3.2 The variable incentive system

The recognition of the Variable Remuneration Component is governed by the UPM System, aimed at developing a sustainable performance culture, which relates the results of the Group and the individual companies to the individual performances.

The UPM System affects the individual Companies in Scope when they transpose the Group and Segment or Company Remuneration Policies through the applicable bodies and procedures, thereby taking on the duties resulting from its application with respect to the Recipients of which they are Reference Companies.

In accordance with what is requested by prevailing laws on remuneration policies, the UPM System complies with the principles described in paragraph 5.2.2, in addition to the independence criteria of the Variable Component of heads and higher level staff of the Key Functions, from the results achieved by the operating units subject to their control and how dependent said component is on achieving the objectives connected to the effectiveness and quality of the control action on condition that they are not the source of conflicts of interest.

The UPM System provides the assumptions and criteria for determination of the Potential Bonus, whose maximum annual measurement is determined as a percentage of the Annual Gross Remuneration of the Recipient on 31 December of the Year of Accrual, a specific percentage for the General Manager of the Unipol Group and, for the remaining Key Personnel, differentiated in accordance with the Bracket they belong to.

The Recipients of the UPM System are those who, in the Year of Accrual, have been employed for at least six months, applying the effects of the participation in the UPM System on a pro rata basis.

the UPM System applies in accordance with differentiated criteria in accordance with:

  • (i) the role of the General Manager of the Unipol Group;
  • (ii) the classification of the Recipient as a Key Staff member in accordance with the specific rules of each department, on condition that said classification was attributed to the Recipient over a time period mostly in the Year of Accrual;
  • (iii) the role of the Recipient (for example belonging to the Key Functions), provided that the role is covered over a time period mostly in the Year of Accrual.

The actual applicability of the UPM System to the individual Recipient is determined in accordance with the professional service actually and mainly provided by the Recipient in a Company (also if "seconded out"), with the contractual affiliation not being relevant for the purposes of the UPM System.

The Seconding Company defines and sets the final individual objectives in association with the Host Company or Companies.

The Group companies that operate in specific market segments characterised by strong competition, discontinuity and high levels of specialisation, such as the management of NPL or the research or development of technologically innovative solutions, adopt integrative or replacement incentive systems of the UPM System in accordance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policies of the Segment or the Company.

The Potential Bonus, as set out in detail in the table below, is organised into the following components:

  • (i) an STI component, with 50 % paid in monetary format and the remaining 50 % in the form of financial instruments
  • (ii) an LTI component, with 50% paid in monetary format and the remaining 50 % in the form of financial instruments.

6.3.2.1 Short-Term Bonus (STI)

The STI Bonus fulfils the purposes, terms and conditions already described in paragraph 5.2.2.1, subject to the specifics set out below.

The access to the STI Bonus is subject to the achievement of the following objectives that take account of current and prospective risks connected to the pre-established results of the Group and the Reference Company and related charges in terms of cost of capital used and the necessary cash.

Therefore the following are provided for:

  • two access conditions linked to Group objectives9 (see paragraph 5.2.2.1) that apply to Unipol and all the Group companies;
  • further access conditions for each of the Companies in the Scope, besides the Parent Company, that reflect the respective regulatory requirements and the ability to selffinance; these conditions are set out in the Segment or Company Policies.

The failure of even one of the above-mentioned conditions to be met will result in resetting to zero any Variable Incentive coming from the UPM System for the Year of Accrual.

The access to the UPM System for the heads of the Key Functions is linked exclusively to achievement of the Solvency II coverage indices.

The UPM System provides for disbursing an STI Bonus where the amount is calculated in accordance with the Individual Performance Level achieved and the percentage of Potential Bonus that can be assigned to the Recipient, as illustrated in Table 5.

Four individual objectives are assigned each year to the General Manager of the Unipol Group, the Key Personnel, and in general to the Recipients of the UPM System, both qualitative and quantitative, applying the same criteria illustrated under paragraph 5.2.2.1. The first two are represented by quantitative objectives relating to their areas of

9 For other Recipients besides the General Managers, the other Key Managers and other Key Personnel, the minimum threshold to achieve the Consolidated Gross Profit objective needed for access to the UPM System amounts to 80% of the budget approved by the Parent Company for the Year of Accrual.

The two quantitative Objectives can be considered to have been achieved under the same conditions as the corresponding objectives constituting the entrance gates of the Incentive System as set out above, therefore applying the same thresholds and progressive criteria as they provide for.

6.3.2.2 Long-term Bonus (LTI)

The LTI Bonus fulfils the purposes, terms and conditions already described in paragraph 5.2.2.2, subject to the specificities set out below.

The amount of the LTI Bonus for Recipients who work at the Key Functions shall depend on whether the indicators reported in the table below have been achieved, including separately.

KPIKey Functions Lithresholds

Higher value 5%

For the General Manager of the Unipol Group and the other Recipients to whom the provisions regarding the Particularly High Amount of the Variable Remuneration applies, each of the five annual tranches in which the LTI Bonus is disbursed is equal to a fifth of the amount of the Actual LTI Bonus accrued in the Three Years of Accrual, re-proportioned on the basis of whether the long-term objectives have been achieved, as illustrated in Table 4 (or Table 7 where applicable). Any payment is made on a pro rata basis by January each year as defined in paragraph 5.2.2.2.

For the Recipients to whom the provisions regarding the Particularly High Amount of the Variable Remuneration do not apply, the LTI Bonus is disbursed in three annual tranches, each of which is equal to a third of the amount of the Actual LTI Bonus accrued in the Three Years of Accrual, re-proportioned on the basis of whether the long-term objectives have been achieved, as illustrated in Table 4 (or Table 7 where applicable). Any disbursement will be on a pro rata basis by January of each of the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 as illustrated below:

6.3.2.3 The process for the assignment, assessment and measurement of the objectives

The process of assignment, evaluation and final calculation of the objectives will be carried out by the direct hierarchical superior of the Recipient, the top manager, the Group General Manager - who will use the support of the Chief Human Resources Officer - and the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO.

When the objectives are allocated, the Recipient will be made aware of the Remuneration Policies applied to him or her. The Recipient will declare, in writing, that he or she is aware of the content and accepts the above-mentioned documentation.

The Group Remuneration Policies and Remuneration Policies of the Segment or Company are made known to all the Recipients by publication on the company Intranet.

In the measurement process, the aforesaid bodies shall also duly take account of the total individual contribution provided for the good operation of the entity, in a broader framework of consistency and overall stability of the corporate system.

In the measurement process, the contribution of the Chief Risk Officer is used, who is responsible for the Risk Management activities, and the Group Management Control Department for the prior and subsequent check of the quantitative indicators.

The size of the STI and LTI Bonuses due shall be defined at the end of all the steps prescribed by the assessment and measurement process.

If the Recipient is affected during the year by organisational changes that also involve a change in his or her direct manager, the previous manager will have to share the previously assigned objectives with the new manager, and send them all the necessary documentation. The new manager will be in charge of evaluating, along with the parties indicated above, whether to assign other objectives besides those previously assigned, repeating the process if that happens. In that case, the measurement will have to be carried out on a pro rata proportional basis on the achievement of the previous objectives and the new objectives, and during the measurement, the previous manager will have to make an assessment for the part that he or she was responsible for.

6.3.2.4 Terms of disbursement

The monetary component and the attribution of the Shares related to the STI and LTI Bonus amount owed will be disbursed, in the terms indicated above, on condition that at the date of payment the Recipient is actually employed by Unipol or another Unipol Group company and that they are not in a notice period or on leave, subject to the following:

    1. The amount of the monetary component to disburse and the number of Shares to attribute relating to the amount of STI Bonus due will be recalculated on a pro rata basis on the basis of the number of entire months actually spent in service by the Recipient in question, for:
    2. i. Recipients who no longer work with Unipol and/or other companies in the Unipol Group during the Year of Accrual of the Bonus amount, due to the effect of the accrual of the right to an old-age pension or other pension right accruals, provided that they were adopted at the initiative of the company by recourse to legislative or contractual provisions;
    3. ii. Recipients who no longer work with Unipol and/or with other Unipol Group companies during the Year of Accrual of the Bonus amount due to an agreement with the employer on the basis of what is defined in the previous agreement;
    4. iii. Recipients involved in extraordinary corporate transactions that involved the transfer of the ownership of the controlling stake of the company where they are employed to another party who is not part of the Unipol Group, terminated during the Year of Accrual of the Bonus amount.
    1. In the following cases10, the monetary component is disbursed and the Shares relating to the LTI Bonus amount are attributed:
    2. i. to the Recipients who no longer work with Unipol and/or other companies in the Unipol Group, starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three Years of Accrual, due to the effect of the accrual of the right to an old-age pension or other pension right accruals, provided that they were adopted at the initiative of the company by recourse to legislative or contractual provisions;
    3. ii. to the Recipients who no longer work with Unipol and/or with other Unipol Group companies, starting from 31 December of the final year of the Three Years of Accrual due to an agreement with the employer on the basis of what is defined in the previous agreement;

10 Subject to specific individual treatment adopted by the Reference Company, subject to decision by the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Remuneration Committee where present.

35 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

  • iii. to the Recipients involved in extraordinary corporate transactions that involved the transfer of the ownership of the controlling stake of the company where they are employed to another party who is not part of the Unipol Group, terminated starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three Years of Accrual.

6.4 Benefit

The non-monetary Benefits on which the social security and tax contribution are also calculated represent an important component of the pay package, both in terms of appreciation by the Recipients and in terms of total remuneration, as a supplementary and/or alternative element to payment in cash, which has proved to be advantageous in establishing effective Remuneration policies, but at the same time ensures the optimal economic impact.

In addition to the provisions of the national collective labour agreement and company rules (including supplementary benefits and social security assistance, assistance funds and joining a pension fund) a company car is assigned for business and personal use to managers who belong to the 1st and 2nd Brackets of the Executive Bracket.

It is also possible to provide for the allocation of lodging, with the costs partially or totally borne by the Reference Company of the Recipient on the basis of necessary assessments on a case by case basis.

6.5 Loyalty bonuses

For the purpose of retention, with a view towards encouraging the achievement of the governance, growth and development objectives of the Group, loyalty bonuses may be awarded to Managers who have given their services to the individual Companies in Scope or for the Group for a certain number of years. The amount of said bonuses to be disbursed upon termination of employment cannot exceed the amount of three years worth of total annual remuneration calculated for the variable part as envisaged by article 2121, paragraph 2 of the Italian Civil Code. This loyalty bonus will be paid within 30 days of the date the employment relationship is terminated. Once the thirtieth year of service in an individual Company on the Perimeter or in the Group has been reached, a portion of the loyalty bonus accrued up to that point can be paid, subject to decision by the Board of Directors and with the approval of the Remuneration Committee.

The General Manager of the Unipol Group shall receive a loyalty bonus equal to a twelfth of the Compensation for the number of years of service upon termination of the work relationship, and in any case, no more than three years worth of said Compensation. With regard to the General Manager of the Unipol Group, once thirty years of service have been accrued in an individual Company in Scope or for the Group, in line with the Group Policies in effect, a portion of the loyalty bonus can also be paid (more specifically, two thirds of the amount accrued to that date) to be deducted from the amount to pay on the date of termination of said employment relationship.

6.6 Severance

For Directors, there may be payment of an amount, recognised when they terminate their employment, of not more than three years worth of total annual pay, if the termination of employment is on a consensual basis, or dismissal, not backed by just cause, or dismissal for just cause. The individual Companies in Scope may also request beneficiaries to return all or part of the afore-mentioned gross amount paid, if, within five years of the date of termination of employment, the same take serious measures with wilful misconduct resulting in damage to the individual Company in Scope, both circumstances (measures and wilful misconduct) ascertained with a later ruling in the courts.

With regard to the General Manager of the Unipol Group, in the case of termination of the work relationship by the Unipol Group not for just cause, or in the case of termination of the work relationship at the request of the reference Shareholder of the Unipol Group, or in the case of termination for just cause, an amount equal to three years worth of the Compensation will be paid, in addition to the normal post-employment benefits and the pay in lieu of notice provided for by the National Collective Labour Contract.

At the moment, there are no non-compete agreements in place, or no allocation or maintenance of nonmonetary benefits in favour of Key Managers, and there are no consultation contracts in place for a period following the termination of their employment relationships.

With regard to termination of the employment relationship, please refer to paragraph 6.3.2.4 for more information on the incentive plans.

6.7 Other components of remuneration

In addition to those provided for by the applicable National Collective Labour Contract, the following can also form part of the remuneration (unless otherwise specified by the various Segments):

  • a one-off amount, and/or individual company bonuses, paid in monetary form and up-front, and in accordance with the following conditions:
    • (i) occurrence of objective circumstances that are completely exceptional and unforeseeable which required a particularly significant professional commitment, meant to obtain a result of strategic importance for the Group and/or the Reference Company;
    • (ii) determination of the amount in compliance with the principles of proper balancing between the fixed component and the variable component of remuneration, as set forth in laws in force;
    • (iii) recognition on approval of the Board of Directors of the Reference Company.
  • Welcome Bonus, provided for in exceptional cases when hiring new staff, to be paid within the first 18 months from the date hired (unless there are other rules for the Segment and/or Company);
  • payments made for stability agreements, generally for a period of no longer than three years, paid in order to guarantee adequate continuity of the work relationship, ensure greater company stability and help give further incentives for the quality of the professional services of certain Key Managers and/or other resources considered to be key;
  • any compensation recognised on a one-off basis to restore any revocation of Benefits previously assigned (such as cars for example).

7. The remuneration of the Key Personnel who are not Managers

In addition to the Fixed Component, the retribution of the Key Personnel who are not managers may provide for a Variable Component as explained below.

The Fixed remuneration Component provides compensation for the skills, capabilities, role and, in particular, the responsibilities relating to the role. It entails a rigid economic base, provided for by the applicable Collective Labour Contracts and, if present, the Additional Company Agreements, any other bilateral agreements and specific internal Rules, and is determined in accordance with the level of classification and the length of service. Internal fairness reasons, competitiveness, attractiveness, meritocracy or the attribution of greater responsibilities may lead to the payment of additional fixed amounts, consolidating them over time

The National Collective Labour Contracts in effect, applicable to the personnel working at the companies, provide, inter alia, for disbursing a "Variable Company Bonus" ("PAV" - National Contract, ANIA) which constitutes a variable portion of the remuneration.

The Variable remuneration Component is based on two main objectives:

  • rewarding results achieved in the short and medium/long-term, expressed not only in the form of economic revenue, but also in the form of attention to risks and qualitative performance;
  • developing professional skills while enacting an effective retention policy.

In addition to those provided for by the applicable National Collective Labour Contract, the following can also form part of the remuneration:

  • a one-off payment and/or individual company bonuses, disbursed in monetary format and as a single payment, if objective circumstances occur that require a particularly significant professional effort;
  • monetary bonuses when the objectives assigned have been achieved following participation in annual or interim systems;

  • Welcome Bonus, provided for in exceptional cases when hiring new staff, to be paid within the first 18 months from the date hired (unless there are other rules for the Segment and/or Company);
  • payments made for stability agreements, generally for a period of no longer than three years, paid in order to guarantee adequate continuity of the work relationship, ensure greater company stability and help give further incentives for the quality of the professional services of resources considered to be key;
  • any compensation recognised on a one-off basis to restore any revocation of Benefits previously assigned (such as cars for example).

8. Ex post correction mechanisms

The Recipient subjected to a disciplinary measure of suspension from service or more serious disciplinary measures shall in any case lose his/her entitlement to the disbursement of the short and/or long term variable compensation.

Clauses are envisaged on the basis of which no bonus is disbursed, in terms of:

a. Malus

The Bonuses envisaged by the incentive system will not be paid if the trend of results of the Group and/or the Reference Company should worsen, as defined in paragraphs 5.2.2.1 and 6.3.2.1, or, in the case of non-compliance, by the Recipient, with regulatory or supervisory provisions, the consequence of which entailed a disciplinary sanction against the Recipient in question, or if the Key Functions discover that the Recipient has behaved in such a way so as to commit a serious infringement of internal or external provisions or the applicable standards of conduct or if they have been determined on the basis of data shown to be manifestly erroneous after the fact.

With reference to the reduction of the risk profiles, the Reference Company will cut or set to zero any payments to make if the above-mentioned behaviour implemented by the Recipient has caused impacts on the Solvency II Ratio of the Group and/or of the Reference Company where applicable. To that end, the Chief Risk Officer, responsible for the Risk Management activities, with the support of the other company functions involved, will carry out the re-calculation of the Solvency II Ratio in order to check to ensure whether that behaviour could have caused the failure to comply with the objectives in terms of risk appetite established for the Year of Accrual by the applicable decision-making bodies.

b. Claw-back

Unipol or the Reference Company will require the repayment of any compensation paid if the Recipient has acted in violation of applicable supervisory provisions or if the Recipient has exhibited behaviours that are fraudulent and/or distinguished by malice or gross negligence correlated with the performance of his/her duties that determined a deterioration of the risk profiles and/or of the results of the Group and/or of the company, or breaches of the Code of Ethics11 and/or behaviour that is not compliant with the provisions of the law, regulations or articles of association, on the basis of the provisions of the law, subject to any further action, or paid on the basis of data that are found to be manifestly erroneous.

With reference to the reduction of the risk profiles, the Reference Company will cut or set to zero any payments made if the above-mentioned fraudulent behaviour or behaviour distinguished by malice or gross negligence carried out by the Recipient has caused impacts on the Solvency II Ratio of the Group and/or of the Reference Company where applicable. To that end, the Chief Risk Officer, responsible for the Risk Management activities, with the support of the other company functions involved, will carry out the re-calculation of the Solvency II Ratio in order to check to ensure whether that behaviour could have caused the failure to comply with the objectives in terms of risk appetite established for the Year of Accrual by the applicable decision-making bodies.

The duration of the period in which the clause applies has been set at five years, starting from the payment of the individual amounts (STI or LTI) of the Variable Remuneration.

11 The assessments regarding cases of breaches of the Code of Ethics are the responsibility of the applicable function.

3. 2020 business results

Please refer to the Report on the consolidated integrated financial statements of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. as at 31 December 2020 for a description of the main factors that characterised the performance during the year.

4. Exceptions to the 2019 Remuneration Policies following the communications of the Supervisory Authorities

Due to the emergency situation in 2020 caused by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and characterised by very high market discontinuity and significant material variations in the national and international macro-economic situation, IVASS issued two communications to insurance companies and the final Italian parent companies:

  • On 30 March 2020, inter alia it called for maximum attention by insurance companies and insurance Groups, asking them to adopt "extreme prudence in the payment of the variable component of the remuneration to the company representatives";
  • On 29 July 2020, the Authority inter alia recommended that companies "not create the obligation to pay a variable component of the Remuneration to the company representatives, also asking to give information in advance (to IVASS) of the assumption of obligations for payments to staff with the qualification of significant risk taker of the variable component of the remuneration".

Additionally, with respect to variable remuneration:

  • On 15 December 2020, the European Systemic Risk Board ("ESRB"") renewed the recommendation to the national authorities of the banking, financial and insurance sector to monitor to ensure that extreme prudence continues to be used in the distribution of dividends (and in the repurchasing of own shares and paying variable remuneration components) at least up to September 2021;
  • even the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority ("EIOPA") repeated the appeal to use extreme prudence in asset management policies, specifying that the distribution of dividends (and the repurchasing of own shares and determination of variable remuneration) should not exceed prudential limits. More specifically, the potential qualitative-quantitative reduction of capital should not reduce own funds to an inadequate level to face the exposures to risks; this is in order to safeguard the capacity of insurance companies (and the parent companies of insurance Groups) to absorb, even prospectively, the impacts of the epidemiological emergency (the "Covid-19 Emergency") in their business models and their solvency, liquidity and financial situation;
  • by press release of 29 December 2020, in taking on the ERSB recommendations, IVASS asked insurance companies and the Italian final parent companies who intended to undertake one of the above-mentioned actions to evaluate the impacts with attention and sense of responsibility, making prior contact with the Authority to check the compatibility of their intentions with the objectives of the recommendation in question.

In accordance with the decision-making processes provided for implementation of the 2019 Remuneration Policies, the Board of Directors, having acknowledged the communications from the Supervisory Authority, taking account of the approval of the Remuneration Committee and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors:

  • on 2 April 2020, suspended all evaluations regarding the payment of the Variable Remuneration for the year 2019 for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, for the General Manager of the Unipol Group and for the remaining Managers of the Group;
  • on 6 August 2020, it postponed to a subsequent meeting all assessments and decisions regarding the Variable remuneration Component referring to 2019 for Management falling under the category of non-significant risk takers;
  • on 12 November 2020, it checked to find out whether the conditions of access to the UPM System were met, deciding to disburse the STI component for 2019 in the money due for December 2020 only to the Managers who fell under the category of non-significant risk takers.

5. The remuneration of Directors

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 18 April 2019 has, inter alia, appointed the Board of Directors, consisting of 19 members, giving them a mandate of three years and, therefore, up to the Meeting called to approve the 2021 financial statements.

42 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

  • to the Chairperson, for an annual fixed gross amount of Euro 1,000,000 and the provision of a car for business and personal use and a mobile telephone for business and personal use;
  • to the Deputy Chairperson, for an annual fixed gross amount of Euro 200,000.

The members of Board committees were awarded a further fixed fee for attendance at each respective meeting, corresponding to Euro 1,000, reduced to Euro 500 in case of participation through telephone or audiovisual connection, plus the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses borne with relation to the office held.

In 2020, no Variable remuneration Component linked to results or based on financial instruments was paid to any nonexecutive Directors.

The details of the payments of the members of the Board of Directors for the year 2020 is shown in Table 1 - Section II below.

6. The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO of the Unipol Group

Proportion of Fixed Component and Variable Component

In accordance with the provisions introduced by the update of the Issuers' Regulation, the indication of the proportion between the fixed and the variable type of payments for 2020 of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO is shown below. The corresponding remuneration elements of Table 1, Section II, Second Part are considered for the purposes of the analysis.

The proportion between the various components compared to the total remuneration is represented as follows:

Fixed Component

The Board of Directors meeting of 1 August 2019, having heard the opinions of the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, defined an annual fixed gross annual payment of Euro 750,000 for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, that is added to the amount received as a fixed gross annual payment as a Unipol Director and the attendance fees for taking part in the Chairperson's Committee for 2020.

The details of the payments of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO for the year 2020 are shown in Table 1 - Section II below.

Variable Component

At its meeting of 2 April 2020, the Board of Directors approved the 2020 Remuneration Policies that provide for the assignment of a variable bonus equal to a maximum of 200% of the fixed annual gross payment, to be paid in accordance with the criteria and mechanisms provided by the variable remuneration system in effect at the time (of which 80% short term - STI - half in monetary form and half in financial instruments, and the remaining 120% long term - LTI - half in monetary form and half in financial instruments).

Implementation of the 2016–2018 incentive system

With reference to the incentive system adopted by Unipol for the 2016-2018 three year period (the "2016-2018 System), at the board meeting of 14 March 2019, the Board of Directors ascertained full satisfaction of the conditions for the recognition of the long-term incentive pursuant to the 2016-2018 System, as implemented by the relative compensation plan based on financial instruments for 2016-2018 (the "2016-2018 Plan").

Following that positive measurement, in execution of the Rules of the above-mentioned 2016-2018 Plan, it was therefore possible to attribute to the Recipients of the three tranches of Unipol Shares and UnipolSai Shares, where the second was paid on 27 April 2020. In particular, Unipol paid the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO the second tranches of Shares equal to 1/3 of the total actually accrued at the end of the vesting period, a third corresponding to 96,201 ordinary Unipol shares and 177,809 ordinary UnipolSai shares. In this regard, the Share value used as a reference for the calculation of the number of Shares due to each Recipient of the above-mentioned plan is the average Stock Exchange value recorded by the ordinary Unipol share and the ordinary UnipolSai share in May 2016, equal to Euro 1.7575 and euro 3.2484 respectively.

In the current month of April 2021, in execution of the 2016-2018 Plan, the third and last tranche will be paid of the Unipol Shares and the UnipolSai Shares.

Subject to what is set out in the paragraph below regarding the 2020 Variable Incentive, Table 3A - Section II below was not completed with the data relating to the implementation of the 2016–2018 Plan, as its monetary effects were exhausted in previous years and the equity effects, noted above refer to vested financial instruments at the end of the 2016–2018 three-year period.

Implementation of the 2019–2021 incentive system

The incentive System approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol at the board meeting of 14 March 2019 provides for the 2019-2021 three-year period - that, by May of the year following the year of accrual, the short term Bonus (STI) is disbursed, with 50% in monetary form and the remaining 50% in the form of shares (Unipol and UnipolSai Shares) and that, on a parallel basis, an amount is set aside, subject to checking the performance conditions provided for the three-year period every year, the corresponding long-term component (LTI) for 50% in monetary form and the remaining 50% in the form of shares (Unipol and UnipolSai Shares) to be paid starting from 2023 in more than one tranche.

With regard to the decisions of the Board of Directors of the Unipol Group with regard to the suspension of all assessments regarding the payment of the Variable Remuneration for 2019, please refer to the previous paragraph 4.

In addition, see that paragraph with regard to the recommendations issued in 2020 by the European Systemic Risk Board ("ESRB") regarding the principles of prudence in variable remuneration.

In light of the above, with regard to the Variable Component for the year 2020, the Board of Directors, at the board meeting of 1 April 2021, taking account of the approval of the Remuneration Committee, and having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors, ascertained that the conditions had been fully met to pay the short-term incentive for that year. Following the favourable measurement, while complying with the principles of prudence mentioned above, it is therefore possible to pay the variable STI incentive for the 2020 year, in relation with the Individual Performance Level expressed, since that disbursement will not have impacts on the own funds of the Company.

Please refer to Table 3A - Section II and Table 3B - Section II below for more details on the amount of said 2020 incentives.

Non-monetary benefits

The Board of Directors meeting of 1 August 2019, after consultation with the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, defined the availability of the following for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO:

  • adequate lodgings in the cities of Bologna and Milan;
  • a car for mixed business and personal use;
  • a mobile telephone for mixed business and personal use.

Please refer to Table 1 - Section II below for more details on the amount of the non-monetary benefits.

7. The remuneration of the Control Body

The Shareholders' Meeting of 18 April 2019 also re-appointed the Board of Statutory Auditors, consisting of three Statutory Auditors and two Alternate Auditors, who will remain in office until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2021.

In accordance with the Remuneration policies the annual compensation of the Statutory Auditors has been established as a fixed amount and differs between Statutory Auditors and the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors, corresponding to Euro 60,000 and Euro 90,000 respectively; in addition, the same will be reimbursed for the expenses incurred with relation to the office held, an attendance fee for each board meeting or shareholders' meeting or board committee meeting that the Statutory Auditor attended of Euro 1,000, reduced to Euro 500 if the participation was by telephone or audiovisual connection, and insurance coverage for risks related to third party liability arising from the legal and contractual obligations associated with the office of Statutory Auditor and the associated legal and economic protection, at the expense of the Company in compliance with the law in force (see infra).

Statutory Auditors are paid no variable remuneration.

The details of the payments of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the year 2020 are shown in Table 1 - Section II below.

8. The Group D&O policy

Unipol, like the other companies that belong to the Unipol Group, took out a Group D&O policy in favour of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The conditions of the policy, with a yearly duration from 20 November 2020, envisage a limit, at Group level, of a total of Euro 50 million to the benefit of the insured parties. The total cost of the policy is shared among all Unipol Group companies, applying a percentage to the same that corresponds to the weighted average of the relationship between the following economic-capital ratios of each company and those of the Group: (i) the Assets on the Balance Sheet; (ii) the Shareholders' Equity; (iii) the turnover calculated in accordance with the Italian Antitrust Authority.

At 31 December 2020, the Parent Company incurred a cost of around Euro 276,000.

To that end, in the column relating to "Non-monetary benefits" of Table 1- Section II, it is not possible to show the benefits relating to insurance cover for risks related to third party liability, stipulated in favour of Directors and Statutory Auditors, the costs of which are borne by the Reference Company, on an ad personam basis. This is not possible since (i) the subjective Scope of the insured parties benefiting from the policy does not coincide with that of the parties for which information must be provided in this Section of the Report, as it is much wider (it extends, in general, to any person considered the equivalent of a member of the administration, management and control bodies, including therein parties to whom proxies have been awarded and members of the supervisory bodies pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01) and that (ii) said Scope is subject to change during the validity of said policy.

Moreover, said benefits are not considered fringe benefits and do not contribute to the formation of the income of the beneficiaries.

9. The remuneration of the General Manager and the Key Managers of the Unipol Group

Proportion of Fixed Component and Variable Component

In accordance with the provisions introduced by the update of the Issuers' Regulation, the indication of the proportion between the fixed and the variable type of payments for 2020 of the General Manager of Unipol and the Key Managers. The corresponding remuneration elements of Table 1, Section II, Second Part are considered for the purposes of the analysis.

The proportion between the various components compared to the total remuneration is represented as follows:

Fixed Component

The Fixed Component of the General Manager of the Unipol Group, borne by the same, comprises the Annual Gross Remuneration which amounted to Euro 1,999,999.96 for 2020

In the year in question, there were 13 Key Managers in the Unipol Group.

With respect to the amount of remuneration relating to the Annual Gross Remuneration of the Key Managers of the Unipol Group, in 2020, a total gross amount of Euro 3,993,675.65 was paid, while the value of the non-monetary Benefits attributed amounted to Euro 215,034.76.

Variable Component

For the General Manager, in accordance with the 2020 Remuneration Policies that provide for the assignment of a variable bonus equal to a maximum of 200% of the fixed gross annual payment as at 31 December 2020, to be paid in accordance with the criteria and mechanisms provided by the variable remuneration system in effect at the time (of which 80% short term - STI - half in monetary form and half in financial instruments, and the remaining 120% long term - LTI - half in monetary form and half in financial instruments).

With regard to the Key Managers, variable bonuses are assigned to be paid in accordance with the criteria and mechanisms provided for by the remuneration system in effect at the time.

Implementation of the 2016–2018 incentive system

With reference to the 2016-2018 UPM System described above, the General Manager and the Key Managers of the Unipol Group were paid the second tranche of Shares equal to 1/3 of the total actually accrued at the end of the vesting period, a third that correspond to 384,805 and 483,167 ordinary shares of Unipol and 711,238 and 893,043 to ordinary shares of UnipolSai. To that end, the value of the Shares taken as reference to calculate the number of Shares due is equal to Euro 1.7575 and Euro 3.2484, calculated as noted above.

In the current month of April 2021, in execution of the 2016-2018 Plan, the third and last tranche will be paid of the Unipol Shares and the UnipolSai Shares.

In accordance with what was specified for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, Table 3A - Section II below was not filled out with the data relating to the implementation of the 2016-2018 Plan since it is a plan that already vested in the period 2016-2018.

Implementation of the 2019–2021 incentive system

The UPM System approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol at the board meeting of 14 March 2019 provides - for the 2019-2021 three-year period - that, by May of the year following the year of accrual, the short term Bonus (STI) is disbursed, with 50% in monetary form and the remaining 50% in the form of shares (Unipol and UnipolSai Shares) and

47 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2021

that, on a parallel basis, an amount is set aside, subject to checking the performance conditions provided for the threeyear period every year, the corresponding long-term component (LTI) for 50% in monetary form and the remaining 50% in the form of shares (Unipol and UnipolSai Shares) to be paid starting from 2023 in more than one tranche.

With regard to the decisions of the Board of Directors of the Unipol Group with regard to the suspension of all assessments regarding the payment of the Variable Remuneration for 2019, please refer to the previous paragraph 4. In addition, see that paragraph with regard to the recommendations issued in 2020 by the European Systemic Risk Board ("ESRB") regarding the principles of prudence in variable remuneration.

In light of the above, with regard to the Variable Component for the year 2020, the Board of Directors, at the board meeting of 1 April 2021, taking account of the approval of the Remuneration Committee, and having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors, ascertained that the conditions had been fully met to pay the short-term incentive for that year. Following the favourable measurement, while complying with the principles of prudence mentioned above, it is therefore possible to pay the variable STI incentive for the 2020 year, in relation with the Individual Performance Level expressed, since that disbursement will not have impacts on the own funds of the Company.

Please refer to Table 3A and Table 3B - Section II below for more details on the amount of said 2020 incentives.

10. Information documents on the Compensation plans based on financial instruments

The Key Functions of the Company conduct audits, within their Scope of responsibility, on the implementation of the remuneration policies adopted at least once a year.

The activities and the results of said audits are summarised below.

Ex ante Audits of the Risk Management and Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Functions

The Risk Management and Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Functions examined the Group Policies that will be submitted for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol convened to approve the 2020 financial statements.

The results of the audit confirmed (i) with reference to the Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Function, the compliance of said Policies with the regulatory requirements, the provisions of the articles of association and the Group Code of Ethics, the adequate fine-tuning with respect to the characteristics of the various companies that they apply to and the overall consistency at Group level, and (ii) with reference to the Risk Management Function, the consistency of the objectives, the principles of said Policies and their structuring in accordance with the risk appetite of the companies and the Group in accordance with prevailing laws.

Ex post audits of the Audit Function

The Audit Function must ensure that the remuneration policies are correctly applied, with a view towards the efficiency and protection of the company's assets.

To that end, audits were carried out to ensure the correspondence between what was implemented in 2020 and what was set out in the Remuneration Policies adopted by Unipol and the subsidiaries of the Unipol Group falling under the Scope of application of the Group Policies as at 31 December 2020.

Unipol Gruppo S.p.A.

Registered office Via Stalingrado, 45 40128 Bologna (Italy)

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 4 OF THE ORDINARY MEETING

Acquisition and disposal of treasury shares. Related and consequent resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

It should firstly be recalled that the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company"), convened on 30 April 2020, authorised the Board of Directors to acquire and dispose of treasury shares within the meaning of Arts. 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code, for a period of 18 months from the decision of the Meeting, for a maximum amount of €300 million.

Based on these authorisations, in 2020, the Company acquired a total of 1,100,000 shares to serve the compensation plans based on financial instruments (performance share type), intended for the Managers of the companies of the Unipol Group for the three-year period 2016-2018, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2016, and updated at the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2017, in compliance with Art. 114-bis of the TUF, Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the Consolidated Law on Finance, the "TUF" and the "2016-2018 Plan"), as well as the compensation plan for the three-year period 2019- 2021, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 18 April 2019 (the "2019-2021 Plan").

On 27 April 2020, the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, the General Manager and the Managers of the Company were jointly allocated 1,043,783 treasury shares in the context of the 2016-2018 Plan.

On 11 December 2020, a total of 12,724 treasury shares were assigned to Company's Managers not falling under the category of Significant Risk Takers, to serve the 2019-2021 Plan in the form of Short Term Incentives (STI), pertaining to 2019.

It is hereby proposed that the aforesaid authorisation be issued again, within the maximum limit of expenditure specified herein, upon revocation of the existing authorisation, for a term of 18 months and for the reasons and according to the procedures and terms specified below.

Reasons and objectives

The authorisation for the acquisition and disposal of treasury shares aims to provide the Company with an instrument to pursue, in the interest of the Company itself and in accordance with applicable legislation, the following objectives:

  • to use the treasury shares for their allocation for the purposes of the compensation plans based on financial instruments, pursuant to and in accordance with the Consolidated Law on Finance;
  • to intervene, directly or through intermediaries, to promote the smooth conduct of trading, against distortions due to an excessive volatility or insufficient market liquidity;

  • to take the opportunity to maximise the value that can be derived from market trends and thus also by pursuing trading objectives – or connected with any strategic transactions of interest for the Company;
  • to use treasury shares as a form of investment for the efficient use of the liquidity generated by the core activity of the Company;
  • to use these shares to ensure, if necessary, the overall consistency of transactions that create the need to place fractional shares of the capital of the Company.

The request for authorisation to acquire treasury shares is not, at present, directed at reductions of the share capital of the Company through the cancellation of treasury shares acquired.

Number of shares that may be acquired and procedures for executing the acquisitions and disposals

It is specified that as of the date of this Report:

  • the share capital of Unipol is equal to €3,365,292,408.03, divided into 717,473,508 ordinary shares with no nominal value. At the date of this Report, the Company holds a total of 776,631 treasury shares (equal to 0.108% of the share capital), of which 379,825 directly and 396,806 indirectly, through the following subsidiaries:
    • UnipolSai S.p.A. for 236,496 shares;
    • Compagnia Assicuratrice Linear S.p.A., for 14,743 shares;
    • Arca Vita S.p.A., for 8,350 shares;
    • SIAT S.p.A., for 48,356 shares;
    • Unisalute S.p.A., for 36,893 shares;
    • UnipolSai Servizi Consortili S.c.r.l., for 32,161 shares;
    • Alfaevolution Technology S.p.A., for 1,736 shares;
    • Gruppo UNA S.p.A., for 4,512 shares;
    • Leithà S.r.l., for 13,559 shares.

We propose that:

  • (i) the acquisition of treasury shares may be carried out up to the maximum amounts permitted by law, in the manner provided for by Art. 132 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Art. 144-bis, paragraph 1, letters a), b), c) and d)-ter) and paragraph 1-bis of CONSOB Regulation no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as amended (Issuers' Regulation), as well as by any other regulatory national and European provision, where applicable;
  • (ii) the disposal of treasury shares shall be made in the manner permitted by currently applicable law, including by carrying out, one or more times, subsequent acquisitions and disposals, until the expiry of the term of the authorisation. In particular, the shares

acquired in the context of the above mentioned Plans may be assigned and attributed in the manner and within the terms stated in the regulations of the Plans.

It is proposed that a maximum limit of €300 million in expenditure be confirmed for the acquisition of treasury shares, to be meant on a revolving basis, taking into account the treasury shares sold according with the authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Price of the acquisitions and disposals of treasury shares

Both the acquisitions and the disposal of treasury shares shall be made at a price of no more than 15% above and no less than 15% below the reference price recorded by the shares on the trading day before the date of each transaction. Said parameters are deemed adequate to identify the range of values within which the acquisition and disposal of the shares are of interest for the Company.
