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

2021 Financial Statements.

  • a) Approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2021; Directors' report; Report by the board of statutory auditors and independent audit report. Consequent and related resolutions.
  • b) Allocation of the profits for the 2021 financial year and dividend distribution. Consequent and related 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 UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A ("Unipol" or the "Company") as well as the reports by the Board of Statutory Auditors and by the Independent Auditors, EY S.p.A.; such 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/2022/Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2022.

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

Please note - first and foremost - that following the entry into force of EU Regulation 815/2018, starting from the year 2021, the annual financial reports of issuing companies must be prepared in XHTML format and the information in the consolidated financial statements (financial statements and certain identifying data of the issuer) must be marked up using XBRL specifications according to the technical requirements laid out in the European Single Electronic reporting Format (ESEF). The documentation constituting the 2021 annual financial report (consolidated financial statements, accompanied by the relative Annual Integrated Report, and draft separate financial statements, accompanied by the relative management report) was as a result prepared in accordance with such technical requirements.

Furthermore, in relation to the proposed distribution of the dividend, it should be noted that Unipol boasts significant current and forward-looking capital strength, with a consolidated Solvency Ratio as at 31 December 2021 of 214% (using the Partial Internal Model as authorised by IVASS), with an excess capital of roughly Euro 5.2 billion, calculated after having already deducted the dividend proposed for distribution for the year 2021. Therefore, it is deemed that all requirements are met to proceed with the distribution of such dividend.

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

Proposed approval of the 2021 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 2021;
  • having examined the results of said draft financial statements, which close with profit for the year totalling Euro 335,104,981.50;
  • having viewed the Management Report of the Board of Directors at 31 December 2021;
  • having accepted the Board of Statutory Auditors' Report and the report prepared by the company EY S.p.A. appointed to serve as the independent auditor,

hereby resolves

to approve the financial statements of Unipol as at 31 December 2021, accompanied by the Management Report and recording profit for the year of Euro 335,104,981.50.

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 as at 31 December 2021, which recorded a profit for the year of Euro 335,104,981.50 ("Profit for the year");
  • having acknowledged that the legal reserve existing at 31 December 2021 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 directly holds 783,050 ordinary treasury shares,

hereby resolves

  • to approve the proposed allocation of the Profit for the year as at 31 December 2021, in compliance with Art. 19 of the By-Laws as follows:
    • to the Extraordinary Reserve, Euro 120,097,844.10;
    • the remainder of the profit, equal to 64.16% of the total, to the dividend for the 716,690,458 ordinary shares outstanding, at Euro 0.30 per share and thus for a total of Euro 215,007,137.40;

  • 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 Euro 0.30 for each entitled ordinary share, for a total of Euro 215,007,137.40, 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 25 May 2022 (ex-dividend date of 23 May 2022 and record date of 24 May 2022)."

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

Appointment of the board of directors for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024; establishment of the remuneration due to the directors.

  • a) Establishment of the number of members of the board of directors for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Consequent and related resolutions.
  • b) Appointment of the board of directors for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Consequent and related resolutions.

  • d) Authorisations in accordance with article 2390 of the civil code. Consequent and related resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

With the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2021, the mandate granted to the Board of Directors of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. (the "Company"), appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 18 April 2019, comes to an end, the term of office having expired.

We invite you, therefore, to resolve – in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in force, as well as with the By-Laws – on the appointment of the administrative body for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 and therefore until the Meeting called to approve the financial statements at 31 December 2024; and this according to the procedures and conditions set forth in Art. 10 of the By-Laws, which envisages a list voting mechanism, suitable for allowing, as required by law, at least one Director to be elected by the minority, as well as on the basis of CONSOB Executive Decision No. 60 of 28 January 2022, which established the minimum participation percentage required for the submission of lists.

We note, in this respect, that the By-Laws currently in force provide for the number of members of the Board of Directors to be no less than 15 and no more than 25, that the Directors' term of office is three years, or else the shorter term set by the Meeting at the time of the appointment, and that Directors may be re-elected.

Members of the Board of Directors are elected on the basis of lists submitted by those shareholders who at the time they are submitted are entitled to vote at the relevant Shareholders' Meeting. The candidates on each list must be listed by means of a serial number.

Shareholders who submit a "minority list" must also be recipients of the recommendations issued by CONSOB with communication No. DEM/9017893 of 26 February 2009. Specifically, the Shareholders who submit a "minority list" must file,

with the list, a statement of the absence of affiliation, even indirectly, as provided by Art. 147-ter, Par. 3, of the TUF and Art. 144-quinquies of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as amended (Issuers' Regulation), with the Shareholders participating in the shareholders' agreement mentioned above.

The new Board of Directors must be appointed in compliance with regulations on gender balance pursuant to Art. 147-ter, Par. 1-ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance, or "TUF"). Each list containing a number of candidates equal to or higher than three must include a number of candidates belonging to the less represented gender which ensures that each list complies with that balance. Specifically, at least two-fifths of the members of the Board of Directors must belong to the least represented gender, rounded up in the event of a fraction; therefore, each list containing a number of candidates equal to or greater than three must have a number of candidates belonging to the least represented gender which ensures that within each list gender balance is respected to the minimum extent required by regulations in force, rounding, in the case of a fraction, alternatively: (a) down, for lists containing fewer than five candidates; or (b) up, for lists containing at least five candidates.

The Directors must meet the requirements of fitness for office established, insofar is applicable to them, by Ministerial Decrees No. 220/2011 and No. 162/2000.

With reference to the Directors' independence, it should be remembered that:

  • − without prejudice to what is specified below with reference to the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (the "Code"), the By-Laws establish that the Board of Directors consists for at least one third of Directors meeting the independence requirements established for Statutory Auditors by Art. 148, Par. 3 of the TUF, rounding down in the case of any fractions. The lists containing a number of candidates equal at least to the minimum number of members of the Board of Directors laid out in the By-Laws must contain and expressly specify some parties meeting the aforementioned independence requirements. Where the number of candidates meeting the requirements in question is equal to the minimum number established in the By-Laws, the last two sequential numbers of said lists cannot be assigned to an independent candidate;
  • − pursuant to the Code, the Company qualifies as (i) "large", in relation to its capitalisation and (ii) "non-concentrated" ownership, with regard to the composition of its shareholding structure. By virtue of belonging to these categories, the Code establishes that the Board of Directors must consist of at least half independent Directors, as defined therein and as further clarified.

In view of the above, we also note – referring, for anything not specifically mentioned here, to the aforementioned provision of the By-Laws – that:

  • − lists containing the names of the candidates in a number no higher than 25, in sequential order – must be deposited at the Company, as indicated in the Meeting notice, at least 25 days before the date of the Meeting (and, therefore, by 3 April 2022) and the Company shall make them available to the public at the registered office and on its website, in compliance with the methods required by current legal and regulatory provisions, at least 21 days before the date set for the Meeting (and, therefore, by 7 April), the deadline by which the documentation proving legitimate entitlement to submit lists must also be received;
  • − according to the provisions of the aforementioned CONSOB Executive Decision No. 60 of 28 January 2022, the right to submit lists pertains to Shareholders who, alone or with other Shareholders, represent at least 1% of the share capital; the ownership of the stake required for the submission of the lists is established on the basis of the shares that are entered for the submitting Shareholder(s) on the day that the lists are deposited at the Company;
  • − each Shareholder, the Shareholders belonging to a relevant shareholders' agreement under Art. 122 of the TUF, the holding company, the subsidiaries and joint ventures pursuant to Art. 93 of the TUF, cannot submit or take part in the submission of, even through an intermediary or trust company, more than one list and cannot vote for lists other than the one that they have submitted or participated in submitting, even through an intermediary or trust company. Any support and votes cast in breach of such provision shall not be attributed to any list;
  • − in order to be eligible each candidate may appear on only one list.

Pursuant to the combined provisions of the aforementioned Art. 10 of the By-Laws and the applicable laws, the Shareholders who plan to submit a list must deposit, simultaneously and jointly with each list, the following:

  • i) statements in which the individual candidates accept their nomination and state that there are no grounds for their ineligibility or incompatibility, and that the requirements for the assumption of the position are met;
  • ii) a curriculum vitae of each candidate indicating their personal and professional characteristics and a certification of any eligibility to be qualified as independent;
  • iii) any additional information required by legal and regulatory provisions, indicated in the notice of Meeting.

The certificate issued by an authorised intermediary proving ownership of the number of shares required for the submission of the list may be produced when the list is deposited, or even subsequently provided it is at least 21 days before the date set for the Meeting.

Lists that are submitted without these provisions being observed are deemed not to have been submitted.

Please note that, having regard to the policy on requirements of fitness for office approved by this Board of Directors, most recently on 18 March 2021 (the "Fit&Proper Policy"), taking into account the current shareholding structure of Unipol, so far all of the following Company Directors have been considered non-independent, pursuant to the Code and the TUF:

  • − members of the Management Committee of the shareholders' agreement, relevant pursuant to Art. 122 of the TUF, which binds some Unipol shareholders; the extract of that agreement and the basic information regarding it, published pursuant to Arts. 129-131 of the Issuers' Regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution No. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as amended, may be consulted on the Company's website at www.unipol.it Investors/Shareholding Structure section; or
  • − prominent representatives of the main Shareholder of the Company, i.e., the Chairman, executive directors and the General Manager.

Please also recall that, pursuant to Recommendation No. 7 of the Code, a director is not generally considered independent, amongst other cases:

  • i) if, directly or indirectly (for example through subsidiaries or companies of which he or she is executive director or as a partner of a professional practice or a consulting company) he or she has, or has had in the three prior financial years, a significant commercial, financial or professional relationship:
    • with the company or companies it controls, or with the relative executive directors or top management;
    • with a party which, also together with others through a shareholders' agreement, controls the company; or, if the controlling entity is a company or organisation, with the related executive directors or top management;
  • ii) if he or she receives, or has received in the three prior financial years, from the company, its subsidiary or the holding company, significant remuneration in addition to the fixed compensation for the office and that established for participation in the committees recommended by the Code or established by regulations in force.

In this regard, the Fit&Proper Policy establishes that, for the assessment of significance pursuant to points i) and ii) above, it is necessary to take into consideration, insofar is as of specific interest here:

  • the annual amount paid for any professional and/or other services rendered to the company and/or holding company and/or subsidiaries that exceeds 5% of the annual turnover of the Director or of the company or entity over which the Director has control or is an executive director of the professional practice or consulting company of which he or she is a partner or shareholder or, at any rate, exceeding Euro 500,000 per year;
  • any compensation received for offices also held in the holding company and/or

subsidiaries, where these exceed a total of Euro 200,000 per year;

  • any personal and financial situations which could result in conflicts of interest and also potentially hinder the independent judgement of the Director, in any event with the performance of corporate management in the interest of the Company remaining ensured, consistent with the objectives of sound and prudent management.

If the Director is also a partner of a professional practice or a consulting company, even irrespective of the quantitative parameters mentioned above, the significance of the professional relations which could have an effect on his or her position and role within the practice or the consulting company or which in any event relate to significant transactions of the Company and the Unipol Group is evaluated.

It should also be remembered that candidates for the office of Director must comply with the provisions of the Regulation on limits on the plurality of offices held, adopted by its Board of Directors and available on the website of the Company at the address www.unipol.it, in the Governance section.

Please also note that in the event that only one list is submitted or no list is submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the majorities required by the law, without observing the procedure established above, ensuring, at any rate, the presence of independent Directors and respect of the balance between the genders required by legal and regulatory provisions in force.

Lastly, please note that, in compliance with industry regulations and the recommendations of the Code, taking into account the results of the annual assessment on the size, composition and functioning of the Board and its Committees ("Board Performance Evaluation"), the administrative body expresses to the Shareholders, in view of each new Board appointment, its orientation concerning its quantitative and qualitative composition considered optimal (the "Advice").

The Board of Directors in office, supported by the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee, also taking into account the Diversity Policy with regard to the composition of the corporate bodies that it approved in compliance with the provisions of Art. 123-bis, Par. 2, letter d-bis, of the TUF, as well as having reviewed and considered the results emerging from the Board Performance Evaluation activities, expressed its Advice, published on the Company's website and in any event annexed to this Report.

As set forth in the Advice, this outgoing administrative body recommends to those submitting a list containing a number of candidates exceeding half of the members to be elected, to indicate their candidate for the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to the fact that, pursuant to the By-Laws, the Chairman shall be elected by the Board.

Shareholders intending to make proposals with respect to the remuneration due to the Board of Directors are invited to submit them, as specified in the Meeting notice, by 12 April; they will be published on the Company's website by 13 April.

Lastly, we propose to allow the newly appointed Directors, 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.

The Board of Directors

Annex: Advice of the Board of Directors in office on the size and qualitative composition of the new administrative body

UNIPOL GRUPPO S.p.A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ADVICE FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE SIZE AND QUALITATIVE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE 2022-2024 THREE-YEAR PERIOD

Bologna, 10 February 2022

1. Foreword

In compliance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (the "Corporate Governance Code") and the provisions of IVASS Regulation No. 38 of 3 July 20181 as well as the Guidelines on system of governance issued by EIOPA2 , the Board of Directors of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. (also the "Board" or the "Administrative Body" and "Unipol" or the "Company"), with the support of the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee, drafted its advice on the size and qualitative composition deemed optimal in view of the appointment of the new Administrative Body for the 2022-2024 three-year period (the "Advice") at the Company's next Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, scheduled for 28 April 2022 (the "Shareholders' Meeting").

Specifically, this Advice was drafted with the hope that Shareholders, at the time of submission of the candidate lists for the new Board of Directors, assess, also in light of it, the personal characteristics, experience, also in management positions, and gender of the candidates, in proportion to the size of the Company, the structure of the Unipol Group (also, the "Group"), the complexity and specificity of the business sector in which it operates, and the size of the Administrative Body.

To that end, pursuant to Art. 123-bis, Par. 2, letter d-bis of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance, the "TUF"), the Board of Directors has approved a diversity policy for the composition of the corporate bodies, which provides guidelines for the formulation of the Advice (the "Diversity Policy", available on the Company's website in the corporate governance section).

The Advice takes into account the results of the self-assessment on the size, composition and functioning of the Board and its Committees (the "Board Performance Evaluation"). This self-assessment was carried out annually over the 2019-2021 threeyear period and had a specific focus on the areas to be seen as strengths and on those that need to be studied to allow the outgoing Administrative Body to express a synthetic opinion on the findings obtained during the year that just ended and, in particular, of the full mandate of the Board and, therefore, on the evolution over its term of office.

1 In particular, Art. 71, Par. 2, letter bb) of IVASS Regulation No. 38/2018 establishes that, with reference to the ultimate Italian parent company (like Unipol), the Board of Directors should express "...guidelines on the professional figures whose presence in the Board is deemed appropriate, also considering the group's structure, particularly with regard to the companies pursuant to Article 210-ter, Par. 2 of the Code".

2 The Guidelines on system of governance issued by EIOPA establish, inter alia, that the administrative body pursuant to Art. 1.28 Sect. 1 "should have an appropriate knowledge of the corporate organisation of the group, the business model of its different entities and the links and relationships between them and the risks arising from the group's structure" and in compliance with Art. 1.43 of Section 3, "should collectively possess appropriate qualification, experience and knowledge about at least: a) insurance and financial markets; b) business strategy and business model; c) system of governance; d) financial and actuarial analysis; e) regulatory framework and requirements".

2. Size of the Board of Directors

In accordance with Art. 10 of the By-Laws in force, the Administrative Body of Unipol shall comprise no fewer than 15 and no more than 25 members. Its current size, as approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 18 April 2019, is 19 members; previously, in the 2016-2018 three-year period, the Board had 22 Directors.

The outgoing Administrative Body believes that, for the purposes of the assessment of the quantitative composition of the Board, it is necessary to keep into account different criteria and different requirements arising from the specific nature of the role of parent company fulfilled by the Company and its areas of operation as well as the characteristics and structure of the Unipol Group, and try to reconcile these requirements.

The size of the Board of Directors must adequately support the tasks of strategic direction and coordination that the Board will be called to carry out, taking account of the need to articulate the delegation of the functions of analysis and propositional and advisory support to its internal Committees, also in consideration of the Group's complexity and the need to ensure their adequate operation.

In this regard, in relation to the size, management and organisational structure of the Group, the following should be considered:

  • − the specific role performed by Unipol as an issuer with shares listed in the Euronext Milan Market managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. ("Euronext") and as parent company of the Unipol Insurance Group; the activity carried out by the Company is subject to in-depth and impactful regulation by the insurance and financial market and sector Supervisory Authorities;
  • − the presence in the Unipol Group of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. (also an issuer with shares listed in the Euronext, as well as the direct parent company of all other insurance companies in the Group) and companies operating in the financial sector; a structure which indicates the Company's role and characterises its complex management and governance model aspects and issues from the operational and organisational perspective;
  • − the diversification of the Group's businesses, also including companies instrumental to the exercise of the insurance activity (including those performing real estate activity) as well as companies operating in diversified sectors (including hotels, health, agriculture and car rental).

These characteristics lead to the adoption of a Board composition that is able to assure an adequate contribution to the strategies to guide and manage the different activities of the Group, and to have a number of members that would allow the efficient operation of the Committees within the board, also taking into consideration the need to ensure efficient balancing of the competencies present within them.

**** - ****

In this regard - also following the Board Performance Evaluation and taking into account the requirement of diversification of the competencies deemed necessary, as well as the size and complexity of the business performed by the Company and the Group - the Board of Directors, with the support of the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee, deems that the current number of Board members is adequate, taking into account the positive operation dynamics noticed by the outgoing Board of Directors in the course of its term of office and believing that the composition of the new Administrative Body should at any rate guarantee the efficient and effective management of this body's operations, making possible the in-depth study of issues and allowing all members to express themselves and give their personal contribution to the development of a fruitful dialogue, also with regard to the operation of the board Committees.

3. Qualitative composition of the Board of Directors

We shall start by recalling that the regulations that apply to the Company provide for specific requirements of fitness for office that must be met by the members of the Administrative Body, also identifying certain cases of ineligibility or incompatibility.

That said, with regard to the qualitative composition of the Board of Directors, the Diversity Policy states that:

  • − the Directors are for the most part non-executive, able to provide adequate contribution to the board activities, enhancing the internal debate with competencies of a general strategic or technical nature, even formed outside the Group, so as to be able to analyse the different issues debated from different viewpoints, thereby contributing to spurring dialogue, which is the necessary requirement of a collegial, well-considered and informed decision;
  • − in addition to what is set forth in this regard by the TUF and applicable sector regulations, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, the independent Directors must make up at least half of the Administrative Body, thus allowing inter alia for a diverse composition of the board Committees;
  • − in compliance with the provisions of the Company's By-Laws and provisions of law in force on gender balance, the Board of Directors must be made up for at least two-fifths (rounded upwards) of Directors belonging to the "least represented" gender;
  • − a balanced composition of different levels of seniority in office and age brackets must be guaranteed within the Board of Directors, thereby sharing in any case the significant value that the experience accrued and knowledge of the activities and dynamics of the Group may bring in terms of a contribution to the effective operation of the Board;
  • − to ensure the proper execution of their tasks and guarantee the effectiveness of

the role, the Directors are able to devote adequate time and resources to the execution of their mandate;

− the managerial and/or professional and/or academic and/or institutional profiles of each of the Directors, according to the provisions of the applicable industry regulations, are suitable to allow the Administrative Body to have, as a whole, technical skills and experiences that are different and complementary to each other, in order to fulfil its tasks.

In this regard, please recall that pursuant to Art. 212-bis, Par. 1, letter c) of Italian Legislative Decree No. 209 of 7 September 2005 (Private Insurance Code, the "CAP"), parties carrying out administration, management and control functions at Unipol, as the ultimate parent company of the Insurance Group of the same name, are subject to the requirements of professionalism, integrity and independence as well as situations of ineligibility and incompatibility established for parties carrying out such functions at insurance companies3; the Board checks that such requirements are met, also taking into account the Policy on fitness for office approved by the Administrative Body (the "Fit&Proper Policy").

Moreover - considering the qualified investments held by Unipol, including in companies operating in the banking and financial sectors - when required by regulations in force over time and/or the competent domestic and/or foreign Authorities, the Board of Directors checks that its members meet the requirements necessary for investment in such companies.

Looking in more detail to the theoretic profiles of the candidates for the offices of Director suitable to ensure the optimal qualitative composition – without prejudice, as it was said before, to the requirements made in this respect by the current regulations that apply to Unipol – the Board of Directors, with the support of the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee, also in light of the outcome of the self-assessment carried out annually over the three-year period, has defined a set of competencies believed to be necessary to the Administrative Body for the proper and effective execution of its tasks, also taking into account:

− what is stated in that regard by the cited national legislation applicable to the insurance sector4 , according to the principle of proportionality5 , taking account of the mere holding company activity carried out by the Company, as well as the

3 In particular, Art. 212-bis, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Private Insurance Code states that, with reference to the supervision of the group, IVASS, inter alia: "(…) c) assesses the system of governance of the Group and the possession of the requirements set forth in to Art. 76 by the parties that carry out functions of administration, direction and control in parent companies set forth in to Art. 210, Par. 2 [including Unipol, ed.], and the parties there in charge of the key functions."

4 At present, the reference sector regulations are provided by, as noted above, IVASS Regulation No. 38/2018, which - at Art. 71, Par. 2, letter p) - provides that "the administrative body of the ultimate Italian parent company [which is Unipol, ed.] as a whole possesses adequate technical competencies to perform the duties required by the structure, by the activity, and by the risk profile of the group."

Fit&Proper Policy;

  • − to the indications issued by the European institutions and authorities6 ;
  • − the functions assigned to the Board itself, its operation and the establishment of Committees within the Board7 , as well as of the complexity and size of the Group, the type of activity carried out and its listing in regulated markets;
  • − to the best practices in place on the market.

In this regard, the Board notes also that the outcome of the Board Performance Evaluation have confirmed in general:

  • − the shared opinion that the current composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, overall, reflects the competencies believed to be necessary for its proper operation, also on the basis of the in-depth knowledge and the experience accrued by the Directors themselves in the execution of the current mandate and/or, if applicable, of previous mandates, as well as with the participation, for those who are members, in the meetings of the Board internal committees, and training programmes and refresher courses (induction session);
  • − satisfaction with regard to the level of diversity, in terms not only of age, gender and seniority of office but also of competencies and expertise, of the Board, even if in the presence of possible areas of improvement, which might be improved also thanks to the experience accrued in the exercise of the role and the participation in new induction sessions.

**** - ****

This Board of Directors believes that, in general, its current structure adequately and properly reflects the various components (executive, non-executive, independent, gender and age/seniority in office) and the different competencies required.

This being said, the Board moreover recommends that, taking into account the result of the Board Performance Evaluation, also in light of the aforementioned induction activities, as well as what is set forth by the sector regulations referred to above, the

6 At EU level, Art. 273, Pars. 2 and 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, of 10 October 2014, supplementing Directive 2009/138/EC (Solvency II), states the following:

"(…)

2. The assessment of whether a person is fit shall include an assessment of the person's professional and formal qualifications, knowledge and relevant experience within the insurance sector, other financial sectors or other businesses and shall take into account the respective duties allocated to that person and, where relevant, the insurance, financial, accounting, actuarial and management skills of the person.

3. The assessment of whether members of the administrative, management or supervisory body are fit shall take account of the respective duties allocated to individual members to ensure appropriate diversity of qualifications, knowledge and relevant experience to ensure that the undertaking is managed and overseen in a professional manner."

7 In addition, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, at least one member of the Control and Risk Committee and the Remuneration Committee must be in possession, respectively, of adequate:

experience in accounting and financial issues or risk management;

knowledge and experience in financial issues or remuneration policies.

professionalism and competencies represented within the new Administrative Body as a whole, in order to maintain its optimal composition, should fall within the following areas:

  • insurance and/or banking and/or financial and/or real estate business;
  • trends of the economic-financial system and sector;
  • strategic planning;
  • accounting disclosure and financial reporting systems;
  • laws and regulations of the sector and corporate governance;
  • internal controls and risk management;
  • company organisation and remuneration;
  • sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors;
  • information technology/digital and operations.

To ensure an adequate dialogue within the Administrative Body and allow it to take increasingly well-informed decisions, as well as to assign to the Directors different tasks within the Board of Directors and its internal Committees, the outgoing Board also believes it is desirable, in compliance with the guidelines of the provisions for the sector, to have, within the Administrative Body, a plurality of competencies, experiences and cultures, general and specialised, since the simultaneous presence of diversified competencies and experiences ensures the complementarity of the professional profiles and encourages said dialogue and the efficient operation of the Board and the Committees.

Without prejudice to the fact that the Corporate Governance Code recommends that the Board of Directors of the Company be composed of at least one half independent Directors, please note that, with regard to the evaluation criteria used by this Administrative Body, taking into account the current shareholding structure of Unipol, so far all of the following Company Directors have been considered non-independent:

  • members of the Management Committee of the shareholders' agreement which binds some Unipol shareholders; or
  • prominent representatives of the main Shareholder of the Company.

The Fit&Proper Policy has also pre-defined the quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the significance of certain circumstances - particularly those referred to in points c) and d) of Recommendation 7 of the Corporate Governance Code - which compromise, or appear to compromise, the independence of a Director. Such criteria will be specifically summarised in the report of the Directors for the Shareholders' Meeting, which will be published within the terms established by regulations in force.

Furthermore, to identify the qualitative composition of the Board of Directors believed to be optimal, the Administrative Body in office, considering the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code, reasserts the importance of ensuring that:

  • (i) the aforementioned managerial and professional competencies are adequately represented, also keeping into account the benefits that may derive from the presence in this body of different genders and experiences, also ensuring a balanced combination of different ages and seniorities in office, assessing, on this last point, the possibility of keeping an adequate number of Directors currently in office;
  • (ii) in particular, keeping into account the laws and regulations of the sector, the Board has competencies, already available today, on internal controls and risk management, also in order to allow an adequate composition of the Control and Risk Committee;
  • (iii) the non-executive Directors are capable of ensuring adequate debate within the Board of Directors, in order to support knowledgeable joint decision-making, through the simultaneous presence of multiple types of knowledge, experiences and cultures, general and specialised, in order to ensure the complementary nature of the professional profiles and favour the efficient functioning of the Board of Directors and the board Committees.

To ensure the proper execution of their tasks and guarantee the effectiveness of the role, the candidates for the office of Director should be able to devote adequate time and resources to the performance of their duties.

Lastly, this Board of Directors recommends to those submitting a list containing a number of candidates exceeding half of the members to be elected, to provide adequate disclosure concerning the list's compliance with the Advice, also with reference to the criteria set forth in the Diversity Policy, and to indicate, in compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, their candidate for the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to the fact that, pursuant to the By-Laws, the Chairman shall be elected by the Board.

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

Appointment of the board of statutory auditors and its chairperson for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024; establishment of the remuneration due to the statutory auditors.

  • a) Appointment of the board of statutory auditors and its chairperson for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Consequent and related resolutions.
  • b) Setting the remuneration of the board of statutory auditors for financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Consequent and related resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

With the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2021 the mandate granted to the Board of Statutory Auditors of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. (the "Company"), appointed by the Meeting of 18 April 2019, comes to an end, the term of office having expired.

We invite you, therefore, to resolve – in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, as well as By-Laws, in force – on the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors and its Chairman for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 and, therefore, until the Shareholders' Meeting for the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2024.

To this purpose, the Shareholders' Meeting must also set the remuneration due to the Board of Statutory Auditors for each year in office.

It should be remembered, with regard to this, that the current By-Laws provide for the Board of Statutory Auditors to include three Statutory Auditors and two Alternate Auditors.

Pursuant to Art. 17 of the By-Laws, the selection of the Board of Statutory Auditors takes place on the base of lists, in which the candidates are listed in sequential order, to ensure, as provided for in current laws and regulations, that one Statutory Auditor and one Alternate Auditor be elected by the minority and that the Chairman of the Board be the Statutory Auditor elected by the minority.

The list consists of two sections: one for candidates for the post of Statutory Auditor and the other for candidates for the post of Alternate Auditor. The list must contain at least one candidate for the post of Statutory Auditor and one candidate for the post of Alternate Auditor.

In the composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the gender balance pursuant to Art. 148, Par. 1-bis of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance, the "TUF") must also be ensured. Each list must ensure gender balance to the extent specified. Specifically, each list that, considering both sections, contains a number of candidates equal to or exceeding three, must include, under penalty of nullity, parties

of different genders in the first two items in the section(s) where at least two candidates are indicated.

The Statutory Auditors must meet the requirements of fitness for office established by Ministerial Decrees No. 220/2011 and No. 162/2000.

Without prejudice to what is set forth in Art. 148, Par. 3 of the TUF, the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (the "Code") establishes that all members of the control body must meet the independence requirements established by the Code for directors.

In this regard, please recall that, pursuant to Recommendation No. 7 of the Code, as a result of what is referred to above, a statutory auditor is not generally considered independent, amongst other cases:

  • i) if, directly or indirectly (for example through subsidiaries or companies of which he or she is executive director or as a partner of a professional practice or a consulting company) he or she has, or has had in the three prior financial years, a significant commercial, financial or professional relationship:
    • with the company or companies it controls, or with the relative executive directors or top management;
    • with a party which, also together with others through a shareholders' agreement, controls the company; or, if the controlling entity is a company or organisation, with the related executive directors or top management;
  • ii) if he or she receives, or has received in the three prior financial years, from the company, its subsidiary or the holding company, significant remuneration in addition to the fixed compensation for the office and that established for participation in the committees recommended by the Code or established by regulations in force.

In this regard, the policy on the requirements of fitness for office approved by the administrative body of the Company, most recently on 18 March 2021, establishes that, for the assessment of significance pursuant to points i) and ii) above, it is necessary to take into consideration, insofar is as of specific interest here:

  • the annual consideration for any professional services and/or other services provided to the company and/or the holding company and/or subsidiaries, if this represents more than 5% of the annual turnover of the Statutory Auditor, or of the company or the entity of which the Statutory Auditor has the control or is executive director or of the professional practice or consulting company of which he or she is a partner or shareholder or, in any case, if it exceeds Euro 500,000 on an annual basis;
  • any compensation received for offices also held in the holding company and/or subsidiaries, where these exceed a total of Euro 200,000 per year;
  • any personal and financial situations which could result in conflicts of interest and

also potentially hinder the independent judgement of the Statutory Auditor, in any event with the performance of corporate management in the interest of the Company remaining ensured, consistent with the objectives of sound and prudent management.

If the Statutory Auditor is also a partner of a professional practice or a consulting company, even irrespective of the quantitative parameters mentioned above, the significance of the professional relations which could have an effect on his or her position and role within the practice or the consulting company or which in any event relate to significant transactions of the Company and the Unipol Group is evaluated.

We also note – referring, for anything not specifically mentioned here, to the aforementioned provision of the By-Laws – that:

  • − the lists must be filed, as indicated in the notice of the Shareholders' Meeting, by the twenty-fifth day before the date of the Shareholders' Meeting (and, therefore, by 3 April 2022) and the Company must make them available to the public at the registered office and on its website, in compliance with the methods required by current legal and regulatory provisions in force, at least 21 days before the date set for the Shareholders' Meeting (and therefore by 7 April), the deadline by which the documentation proving legitimate entitlement to submit lists must also be received;
  • − according to the provisions of the CONSOB Executive Decision No. 60 of 28 January 2022, the Shareholders who, alone or with others, represent at least 1% of ordinary share capital have the right to submit the lists; the ownership of the stake required for the submission of the lists is established considering the shares that are recorded to the Shareholder(s) in question at the time the lists are deposited at the Company;
  • − each Shareholder, the Shareholders belonging to a relevant shareholders' agreement under Art. 122 of the TUF, the holding company, the subsidiaries and joint ventures pursuant to Art. 93 of the TUF, cannot submit or take part in the submission of, even through an intermediary or trust company, more than one list and cannot vote for lists other than the one that they have submitted or participated in submitting, even through an intermediary or trust company. Any support and votes cast in breach of such provision shall not be attributed to any list;

− in order to be eligible each candidate may appear on only one list.

Please note that, if by the term set for the filing of the lists only one list has been submitted, or else only lists presented by Shareholders who are related to each other pursuant to Art. 144-quinquies of the Issuers' Regulation issued by the CONSOB, lists may be presented until the third day after the term indicated above (and, therefore, by 6 April 2022); in this case, the threshold for the submission of the list is lowered to 0.50% of the share capital with voting rights.

Pursuant to the combined provisions of the aforementioned Art. 17 of the By-Laws and the applicable laws, the Shareholders who plan to submit a list must deposit, simultaneously and jointly with each list, the following:

  • i) declarations by the individual candidates in which these accept their nomination for office and state, under their own responsibility, that they are eligible and compatible and fulfil the requirements for appointment to the different positions, and also comply with the limits to the plurality of offices set by legal and regulatory provisions in force;
  • ii) a curriculum vitae of each candidate, with a full description of their personal and professional characteristics;
  • iii) any additional information required by legal and regulatory provisions, indicated in the notice of Meeting.

The certificate issued by an authorised intermediary proving ownership of the number of shares required for the submission of the list may be produced when the list is deposited, or even subsequently provided it is at least 21 days before the date set for the Meeting.

Lists that are submitted without these provisions being observed are deemed not to have been submitted.

Shareholders who submit a "minority list" must also be recipients of the recommendations issued by CONSOB with Communication No. DEM/9017893 of 26 February 2009. Specifically, the Shareholders who submit a "minority list" must file, with the list, a statement of the absence of affiliation, even indirectly, as provided by Art. 144-quinquies of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as amended (Issuers' Regulation), with the Shareholders participating in the shareholders' agreement, relevant pursuant to Art. 122 of the TUF, which binds several shareholders of Unipol.

In the event that only one list is submitted or no list is submitted, the Shareholders' Meeting resolves with the majorities required by the law, ensuring, at any rate, the respect of the balance between the genders required by legal and regulatory provisions in force.

Shareholders intending to make proposals with respect to the remuneration due to the Board of Statutory Auditors are invited to submit them, as specified in the Meeting notice, by 12 April; they will be published on the Company's website by 13 April.

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, also with reference to the Company, for the financial year 2022, 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;

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 COVID-19 epidemiological emergency and the correlated effects on the domestic economy, as well as requests made by IVASS, the Unipol Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of its Remuneration Committee, most recently approved, at its meeting on 12 November 2020, the disbursement only to Executive personnel not classified as significant risk takers of the variable short-term remuneration component for the year 2019 (Short Term Incentive, or STI), with all assessments remaining suspended with respect to the payment of this remuneration component for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and for the General Manager, as well as for all Executive personnel classified as significant risk takers;
    • − on 1st April 2021, in compliance with the decisions of the relevant corporate bodies regarding the dividend distribution and with the principles of prudence recommended in this regard by the competent Authorities, the Company's administrative body approved the disbursement of the STI component for the year 2020 to all Executive personnel who had met disbursement conditions, with all assessments with respect to the recognition of variable remuneration for the year 2019

remaining suspended for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and for the General Manager, as well as for Executive personnel classified as significant risk takers,

− lastly, at the meeting on 11 November 2021, with conditions being met, the Board of Directors approved the disbursement of the STI component for the year 2019 also to the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and the General Manager, as well as to Executive personnel classified as significant risk takers on the basis of the performance levels individually achieved.

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 2022 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 2021 financial year, and the related implementation procedures.

INTRODUCTION

This Report approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol Gruppo on 24 March 2022, subject to the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, is drawn up for the purpose of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending on 31 December 2021, prepared in accordance with prevailing legal and regulatory obligations in accordance with article 84-quater and Attachment 3A, Schedules 7-bis and 7-ter of the Issuers' Regulation, article 123-ter of Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998 no. 58 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and in accordance with articles 40, 71, second paragraph, letter n) and 93 of the IVASS Regulation 38 and as the ultimate Italian parent company pursuant to article 210 of the Private Insurance Code.

This Report has two sections:

- First Section: Remuneration policies

The first Section lays out the Group Remuneration Policies for the financial year 2022, also adopted with reference to Unipol Gruppo, in particular in regard to the members of the administration and control bodies, the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager, the Key Managers (including the Managers of the Key Functions) and additional Key Personnel, as well as the procedures used for their adoption and implementation;

- Second Section: Remuneration paid

The Second Section shows the application of the Remuneration Policies in place for Unipol Gruppo in 2021, providing an adequate description of each remuneration item and describing - individually by name for the members of the Corporate Bodies, including the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and in aggregate form for the Key Managers of Unipol Gruppo (including the Managers of the Key Functions) - the compensation paid for the reference financial year (i.e. 2021) of any nature and in any form by Unipol Gruppo and the subsidiaries and associated companies. Lastly, information is provided on the equity investments held, by the aforementioned parties, in Unipol Gruppo and in its subsidiaries.

The Group Policies also comply with the recommendations on remuneration contained in article 5 of the Corporate Governance Code of listed companies, as per the most recent version of 31 January 2020, that Unipol Gruppo endorses.

As envisaged by CONSOB Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 regarding related party transactions, as later amended and assimilated in the "Procedure for the performance of transactions with related parties" - adopted by Unipol and available on its website www.unipol.it - the approval of the Remuneration Policies by the Shareholders' Meeting and the application of the other conditions pursuant to article 13, third paragraph, letter b) of said CONSOB Regulation, exonerates said Company from the application of the procedure in resolutions regarding the remuneration of Directors, the Directors holding special offices and Key Managers.

This Report is made available to the public at the registered office of Unipol Gruppo, in Bologna, Via Stalingrado, 45, as well as on the Company's website, www.unipol.it, Governance/Corporate Governance System/Remuneration Report, in accordance with the regulatory provisions in force.

Pursuant to article 123-ter, paragraph 5, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the disclosure documents relating to compensation plans based on financial instruments, prepared pursuant to article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, are available on the website of Unipol Gruppo at the address www.unipol.it, in the Governance/Shareholders' Meetings Section.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Unipol Group intends to support and add value to the best professional skills through a structured Remuneration policy that is based on clear, sustainable principles in line with legal and regulatory provisions, by establishing remuneration packages that can adequately reward the more capable and competent resources.

The principles and guidelines of the Group Remuneration Policies are consistent with developments in the relevant legislation1 , 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 all the 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 Corporate 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 remuneration Components linked to reaching short and long-term objectives defined beforehand, of which a portion is significantly deferred, and observe, for all segments, adequate balancing between the monetary component and a component that is based on financial instruments. In fact, Unipol Gruppo 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 Unipol Gruppo 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 2022

In order to continue to perfect the Group Remuneration Policies, the Remuneration Committee, while carrying out its functions, made an in-depth analysis in 2021 and in the first part of 2022, also in light of the voting expressed on the matter by the Shareholders' Meeting held on 29 April 2021, 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 compliance of the policies with the applicable laws - at Italian and European level - and the evaluation of the main market best practices. More specifically, the main changes introduced concern:

  • a new incentive system, Unipol Variable Pay ("UVP"), was defined for the 2022-2024 three-year period (during the time span of which the Business Plan will develop), which establishes a short-term component (up-front portion) paid in its entirety in monetary form and a long-term component (deferred portion) paid in its entirety in Shares;
  • assignment of ESG objectives (reputational profile measured with the RepTrak®) method and, for the functions specifically involved in the decision-making processes on financial investments, commitmentcompliance objectives defined by the "Guidelines for responsible investment activities" was introduced also in the short term;
  • greater importance was given to the long-term ESG objectives, focused on reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of the Group's instrumental properties, in line with objectives based on climatic science, the increase in the amount of thematic investments and containment of the gender pay gap;
  • for the purpose of coming into line with the best market practices, the equity ownership guidelines applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and Executive and 1st Cluster Managers, including the Key Managers, were also formalised;
  • the Potential Bonuses of the short- and long-term components and relative Pay-mix based on specific hierarchical-organisational, business and seniority of roles assignment criteria were updated;
  • a specific condition for access to payment of the long-term Bonus was introduced, which is confirmed to be proportionately related to the measure of achievement of the short-term objectives.

There is no longer the possibility to pay Loyalty Bonuses, except for payments pertaining to specific agreements for Loyalty Bonuses already existing in agreement with prior Remuneration Policies.

A few additional changes were also made to this Report, both through re-processing the format and by adding to the content. These changes are defined in order to improve alignment with the main market practices and with the recommendations of Investors and Proxy Advisors, as well as to improve the usability of the Report.

With the aim of continuing to promote increasingly clear and effective information on remuneration matters, the following elements were introduced:

  • the connection between Remuneration Policies, the Business Plan and the pursuit of long-term interests, with a special focus on sustainability;
  • the description of the updated peer groups, adopted as reference to define Group Remuneration Policies, also indicating the selection criteria used;
  • the section on the Remuneration Policies of the personnel working at the Key Functions with managerial classification in order to provide greater transparency regarding the major characteristics of the remuneration components established for these roles.

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, 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.

Taking inspiration from the Mission and Values of Farsightedness, 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 Business Plan and with the sustainability strategy of the Group, the Remuneration Policies are structured over a long-term time horizon with incentive systems that provide for mechanisms of Deferral of a considerable part of the Variable Component, and adequate balancing between the share and the monetary components and include strategic performance objectives connected with 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 Corporate Governance Code for listed companies.

IV. SHAREHOLDERS' ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

The First Section of the Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid was submitted for approval by binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo.

The results of the voting expressed by the Shareholders made available to the public in accordance with article 125 quater, paragraph 2 of the Consolidated Law on Finance were analysed along with the indications received from the Investors and the Proxy Advisors in order to identify potential areas of development and further improvement for the preparation of this Report, in line with the best market practices.

Therefore, in order to continue to improve both the contents and the ease of use of the Report, special attention was paid to:

  • the introduction of a new Variable Remuneration system based on a strict and transparent process for defining both financial and non-financial performance indicators.
  • the plan for a broader connection with ESG metrics in both the STI Bonus and the LTI Bonus;
  • the definition of specific incentive curves underlying the quantitative performance objectives with a view to strengthen the connection between company performance and the remuneration levels paid;
  • greater alignment between the interests of management and those of the Shareholders, with:
    • o the introduction of a long-term deferred component payable in the form of shares;
    • o the introduction of a Shareholder return measure tied to the Total Shareholder Return with reference to the LTI Bonus;
    • o the plan for strict guidelines on equity ownership;
  • the plan for an access condition also for paying out the LTI Bonus, tied to capital adequacy requirements;
  • greater transparency in connection with the peer groups of reference adopted to define Remuneration Policies and the methods for selecting companies that are part of them;
  • the redefinition of the retention instruments since the possibility to activate Loyalty Bonuses no longer exists in the 2022 Policies.

FIRST SECTION

2022 REMUNERATION POLICIES

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.

The Group's strategic vision, as defined by the Business Plan that will be issued during the year, is oriented toward evolving into a position of leader of ecosystems, with focus placed on the mobility, welfare and property sectors through the creation of shared value for the Group and its Stakeholders, identified as Shareholders and Investors, Employees, Agents and Collaborators, Customers, Suppliers, Civil Community and future Generations, contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Business Plan 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 Unipol Gruppo, 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 Farsightedness, 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 Policies were also defined in accordance with the provisions of the laws, regulations and articles of association, and the Group Code 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 Unipol Gruppo 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 Unipol Gruppo can be set out as per the following pillars:

16 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

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 specific performance indicators:

Reputation and
Sustainability
The performance objectives of the short-term incentive component include, in accordance with
the strategic plan, an indicator linked to the reputational profile of the Unipol Group in the Year
of Accrual 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 environment4
. 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.
Commitment-compliance objectives defined by the "Guidelines for responsible investment
activities" are established for the functions specifically involved in the financial investment
decision-making processes in order to guarantee monitoring of sustainability risks, as well as to
contain potential negative effects of the investment decisions on the sustainability factors.
Climatic and
Finance
Strategy for
the SDGs
The performance objectives of the 2022-2024 long-term incentive component include an
indicator that measures the achievement of the objectives to combat climate change relating
to the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of the Group's instrumental
properties, in line with objectives based on climatic science, included in the integrated action plan
to contribute to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emission by 2050, and an indicator that
measures the increase in the amount of thematic investments.
Gender Pay
Gap
The performance objectives of the 2022-2024 long-term incentive component include an
indicator that measures the achievement of the gender pay gap containment objectives.

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

4 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, Benefits, 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.

17 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

reasons, competitiveness, attractiveness, meritocracy or the attribution of greater responsibilities may lead to the payment of additional fixed amounts, consolidating them over time.

The Variable Component is based on two main objectives:

  • rewarding results achieved in the short and long term, expressed not only in economic-financial terms, but also in the form of attention to risks and qualitative performance also connected to ESG criteria;
  • 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 adequate balancing between the component in monetary form and the component in financial instruments.

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 Component and 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;
  • with reference to the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and the Executive Cluster Managers, the introduction of equity ownership requirements consisting of the lock-up obligation until the termination of appointment and/or permanence in the role of all Shares assigned by virtue of participation in incentive plans; with reference to the 1st Cluster Managers the lock-up is envisaged for a target amount equal to one year of Fixed Remuneration;
  • the prohibition against relying on hedging strategies5 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, paid in the form of financial instruments;
  • a cascading process of the objectives aimed at making the objectives assigned to the affected managerial recruits more consistent.

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 and considering the ESG criteria);
  • the results of the Reference Company;
  • the results of the Department of reference, the Function or the operational area of responsibility of the Recipient;
  • the individual performances.

5 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.

18 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

1.3 No 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 to 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 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.

The Group Remuneration Policies are applied to the members of the Corporate Bodies, including the Chief Executive Officer of Unipol Gruppo, the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo, the Key Personnel at Group level (as defined herein) and the members of the Corporate Bodies and the Key Personnel of the Companies in Scope.

The Parent Company and other Companies in Scope, in order to ensure that remuneration is standardised for the same levels, will provide all the Managers with the Remuneration Policies - to the extent applicable - in accordance with what is described below, regardless of whether they belong to the category of Key Personnel.

In line with the Group strategy and in accordance with the legal framework, the principles of the Remuneration Policies are consistent at global level and structured in accordance with the specific situations of the local area and the sector. The detailed applications for the individual Companies in Scope are contained in the Segment or Company Remuneration Policies.

2.1 The Key Managers and the Key Personnel at Group level

The Key Personnel at Group level are identified by applying the criteria and principles pursuant to article 2, paragraph 1, letter m) of IVASS Regulation no. 38.

Formulation of proposals on the Remuneration Policies

In application of the principle of proportionality set forth in the IVASS Letter to the Market of 5 July 2018, from 1 January 2020, the Remuneration Committee of the Parent Company carries out similar tasks, specified at the individual level also for the insurance companies of the Unipol Group - apart from UnipolSai - based in Italy that have adopted a "strengthened" corporate governance system according to the classification deriving from the parameters indicated in said Letter to the Market.

The Remuneration Committee established at UnipolSai and the committee established at UnipolSai Investimenti SGR carry out similar functions with respect to their own Boards of Directors at an individual level mutatis mutandis.

The Boards of Directors of the other Companies in Scope, where required by applicable laws in the sector, will carry out duties that would have been assigned to the Remuneration Committee, ensuring that they avoid any conflicts of interest.

All members of the Committee have adequate knowledge and expertise in financial matters and/or remuneration policies, as assessed by the Board of Directors at the time of their appointment.

The Remuneration Committee of Unipol Gruppo in office on the date of publication of this Report was comprised of three non-executive Directors, appointed by the Board of Directors at the meeting of 18 April 2019, all of whom possess the independence requirements required under the Corporate Governance Code, pursuant to article 16 of the Market Regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 20249 of 28 December 2017, previously article 37 of the Market Regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 16191 of 29 October 2007.

Further information on the work performed and the main issues handled by the Unipol Remuneration Committee in 2021 is contained in the Annual Report on corporate governance and ownership structures for the year 2021, which can be found in the Governance/Shareholders' Meetings Section on the Company's website www.unipol.it.

3.4 The Board of Statutory Auditors and the Control and Risk 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.

The Control and Risk Committee gives the Board of Directors its opinion on the consistency of the remuneration of the heads of the Key Functions with the Remuneration Policies, on the assignment of the performance objectives for the short and long-term Variable Component of the same heads, and on their degree of achievement.

3.5 The Chief Executive Officer

In the current corporate governance structure, without prejudice to any changes also related to the imminent renewal of the Corporate Bodies, the Chief Executive Officer of Unipol Gruppo, in agreement with the Chairperson:

  • with the help of the Chief Human Resources Officer, also through the Group General manager, provides the Remuneration Committee with instructions for the formulation of proposals to be submitted to the Board of Directors with respect to the Group Policies and the Segment or Company Policies;

  • provides instructions to the competent bodies of the Companies in Scope regarding the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officers, the General Managers - if appointed - and of the other Key Managers (as well as the heads of the Key Functions) as well as the assignment of performance objectives linked to any Variable Component of said remuneration, in accordance with the Group Policies and without prejudice to the powers of the Control and Risk Committee with regard to Managers of Key Functions.

In the current corporate governance structure, If the Chief Executive Officer of Unipol Gruppo is in a situation of potential conflict of interest in exercising the functions listed above, the functions shall be exercised, in his stead, by the Deputy Chairperson.

3.6 The Chief Human Resources Officer

The Chief Human Resources Officer, on the basis of the strategic guidelines provided by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the General Manger through the Group General Manager, will be in charge of instructing and governing the process to formulate the proposals relating to the Group Remuneration Policies and the Remuneration Policies of the Segments or Companies and will oversee their 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 at the Companies in Scope, where present, carry out the same activities as the Group Key Functions as indicated above unless otherwise reported in the Segment or Company Policies.

3.8 Independent Experts

To prepare the Remuneration Policies, Unipol Gruppo availed itself of the consultancy of Willis Towers Watson, in their capacity of independent experts, as a function of the contribution relating to the remuneration analysis made, and the third-party and independent assessment to define the incentive system and the Remuneration Policy.

4. Market practices

Unipol Gruppo monitors the main market practices in the area of remuneration through benchmarking in order to check the competitiveness of the Remuneration on offer.

In particular, Unipol Gruppo availed itself of the support of Willis Towers Watson to make analyses aimed at collecting market practices relating to remuneration for the figure of Chief Executive Officer, considering similar positions identified within a peer group of 16 Italian and European companies of the Financial Services sector, with particular attention paid to the companies operating in the insurance sector.

This peer group of companies deemed comparable with Unipol Gruppo was selected in light of the following criteria:

  • Listing country
  • Sector
  • Economic size
  • Organisational size
  • Equity capitalisation
  • Complexity of organisation and business

  • Board of Directors, or:
    • Chairperson of the Board of Directors;
    • Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Directors;

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 Shareholders' Meeting.

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
Unipol Gruppo
Deputy Chairperson
of Unipol Gruppo
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 0 - 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 Unipol Gruppo 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 Unipol Gruppo.

The 2022 Shareholders' Meeting will decide on the compensation of the Chairperson for the 2022-2024 mandate pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 1 and the Board of Directors that will be appointed for the 2022-2024 mandate will decide the compensation for the office of Chairperson of the Board of Directors pursuant to art. 2389, paragraph 3.

5.2 The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer of Unipol Gruppo

The remuneration policy for the year 2022 for the Chief Executive Officer is in line with company strategies and is adequately balanced, in order to ensure consistency between the short and long term development goals and sustainability of the creation of value for the Shareholders.

The Board of Directors elected by the Shareholders' Meeting called for 28 April 2022 will resolve the precise determination of the remuneration package 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.

The Fixed Component determined on the basis of achieving the maximum level of the abovementioned parameters remains unaltered even if the role changes.

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 0) 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 Board Committees.

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

5.2.2 Variable Component

The objective of the Variable Component is to reward the results achieved in the short and long term, sustainability and the creation of value for the Shareholders of Unipol Gruppo, in support of the Business Plan.

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 long term; 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 UVP System, submitted for the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting called for 28 April 2022, aimed at developing a sustainable performance culture that correlates the results of the Group, the Company and the Department and/or Function of reference with the individual performance.

The UVP 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 UVP System complies with the following principles:

  • balance between financial and non-financial criteria that also take into consideration current and perspective risk profiles and qualitative performance (e.g. compliance with external and internal regulations);
  • greater independence from rewards linked to short-term economic results;
  • award of a significant portion of the Variable Incentive in 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) a STI component (up-front portion), whose payment is entirely in monetary form;

(ii) an LTI component (deferred portion), whose payment is entirely in 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.

Table 1

Potential Bonus: Chief Executive Officer
% vs fixed salary % weight compared to Total
Bonus
Total Bonus STI LTI Up-front Deferred
200% 80% 120% 40% 60%

In accordance with the IVASS Guidelines, the Variable Remuneration to be allocated to the Chief Executive Officer of Unipol Gruppo 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 entirely in monetary form in the year following the Year of Accrual.

The LTI component, if the Group objectives are achieved, will be paid starting from 2026, in five pro rata tranches entirely in financial instruments.

UVP System: Total STI and LTI Pay-out for the Chief Executive Officer

The Malus and Claw-back clauses apply, as defined in paragraph 9.

The Chief Executive Officer is required to keep the attributed Shares based on the incentive systems (Lock-up) until the end of office, without prejudice to the obligation to keep them lasting one year (Holding Period)6 also in case of termination of the mandate.

5.2.2.1 Short-Term Bonus (STI)

The access to the STI Bonus of the UVP System is subject to the achievement of objectives that take account of current and prospective risks connected to the pre-established results of the Unipol Group and related charges in terms of 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 objective7 of Unipol Gruppo pursuant to the budget approved by the Parent Company for the Year of Accrual;
  • the existence of a consolidated coverage ratio of the prudential requirements (capital adequacy) of Unipol Gruppo calculated according to the Solvency II metrics8 , equal to Risk Appetite established in the Risk Appetite Statement approved for the Year of Accrual by the competent bodies as a condition for full determination of the Actual Bonus; a result included between Risk Appetite and Risk Tolerance approved by the Administrative Body in the Risk Appetite Statement reduces the Actual Bonus 25%, which instead is taken to zero should said result be lower than Risk Tolerance.

6 Without prejudice to the possibility of "sell to cover" (sale of the securities necessary to procure the liquidity necessary to fulfil tax charges arising from the attribution of the securities).

7 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.

8 Solvency Ratio calculated according to the approved regulatory approach and subject to review when legislation on the subject in force at the time changes.

30 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

Table 2

Without prejudice to any changes in the corporate governance structure, also connected with the imminent renewal of the Corporate Bodies, economic-financial objectives and nonfinancial objectives, both qualitative and quantitative, are assigned to the Chief Executive Officer each year. Assigned to each of these is a relative weight that identifies their importance compared to the total of the objectives consistent with the ranges identified for the corporate strategic schedule.

The entirety of these objectives and their weights constitutes the corporate strategic schedule - which is assigned to top management. This schedule is also preparatory for developing the cascading top-down of the objectives of Department and/or Function on Top Managers and on the other Managers afterwards:

The objectives schedule of the Chief Executive Officer will be precisely determined by the Board of Directors appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting called for 28 April 2022.

Each individual objective is measured by applying to the quantitative objectives a linear progression between the minimum performance level and the target level:

31 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

9 RepTrak®: meant as the reputational profile of the Unipol Group in the Year of Accrual of the incentive system, to compare with the profile registered by the financial-insurance sector as a whole.

The qualitative objectives are measured according to a scale between the minimum performance level and the target level:

Performance
equal to or
greater than
the Target

= 100% of the
weight of the
individual

Performance

partially
achieved
= 50% of the
weight of the
individual
objective
Performance
below the
minimum
level
Objective not
achieved
= 0% of the
weight of the
individual
objective

The overall Individual Performance Level is obtained by adding together the performance values of the individual objectives, determined as set out above. The minimum Individual Performance Level for payment of the STI Bonus, given by the weighted sum of the results obtained from the individual objectives, is equal to 40 percentage points.

Any disbursement of the STI Bonus will be made entirely by May of the year following the Year of Accrual (i.e. by May 2023 for the STI 2022 Bonus).

The Malus and Claw-back clauses apply to the STI Bonus, as defined in paragraph 9.

5.2.2.2 Long-term Bonus (LTI)

After the end of the Three-Year Accrual Period, the UVP System envisages payment of an LTI Bonus whose amount is determined (as illustrated herein) proportionately to the Individual Performance Levels achieved in the Three-Year Accrual Period (at least equal to 40 percentage points), subject to the access condition being satisfied.

The LTI Bonus is attributed by virtue of a closed plan as part of a single assignment cycle for the 2022-2024 three-year period, and is based on the free assignment of Shares based on the achievement of Group performance objectives divided over the 2022-2024 threeyear period.

The number of Shares that can be attributed is calculated by comparing 50% of the LTI Potential Bonus with the average value of the Unipol ordinary share recorded in January 2022, and the remaining 50% with the average value of the UnipolSai ordinary share recorded in the same month of January 2022.

Access to payment of the LTI Bonus is not only conditioned by the STI performances achieved during the Three-Year Accrual Period, but is also subject to the existence of the consolidated coverage ratio of the prudential requirements (capital solvency) of Unipol Gruppo calculated according to the Solvency II metrics 10 , equal to the Risk Appetite established in the Risk Appetite Statement approved for the last year of the Three-year Accrual Period by the decision-making competent bodies.

As shown in the following table, the long-term performance level is equal to the weighted sum of the Pay-out level of the individual objectives. The size of the Actual LTI Bonus is proportionately related not only to the achievement - also separately - of the long-term performance objectives but also to the Individual Performance Levels achieved in the Three-Year Accrual Period (at least equal to 40 percentage points).

Any disbursement will be on a pro rata basis by March of each of the years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030.

The LTI Bonus is entirely attributed in Shares, to which a Holding Period lasting one year applies, which starts when the Shares become materially available to the Recipient11 (see following paragraph, "Guidelines on equity ownership"). 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 Malus and Claw-back clauses apply to the LTI Bonus, as defined in paragraph 9.

5.2.2.3 Terms of disbursement

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

5.2.2.4 Guidelines on equity ownership

The Shares attributed by the incentive systems must be kept until the end of office (Lockup) and in any case for the duration of the Holding Period12 .

5.2.3 Benefits

The following will be made available to the Chief Executive Officer, with Unipol Gruppo bearing the charges:

  • 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.

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 termination of the same.

With regard to termination of the mandate, 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.

5.3 The remuneration of Directors

The annual compensation of the Directors in accordance with article 2389, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code determined as a fixed amount - was decided upon for Unipol Gruppo by the Shareholders' Meeting on 17 April 2019; in addition to this, along with reimbursement for expenses incurred to carry out the office, an attendance fee for each meeting of the board of directors and corporate shareholders' meeting attended is provided. The Company of which they are Directors also covers the cost of insurance covering the risks connected to thirdparty liability deriving from legal and contractual obligations inherent in the office of Director and the related legal protection (i.e. D&O Policy).

More specifically, the following amounts were decided upon for the 2019-2021 term of office of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company:

Euro 500

The Board of Directors may also pay the Directors - who are members of internal board committees - a fee for taking part in the meetings of said committees, in addition to the reimbursement for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred to carry out the job. This fee is Euro 1,000 for the Parent Company, for the 2019-2021 mandate, reduced to Euro 500 if they participate by telephone or audiovisual connection.

Non-executive Directors are not provided with any Variable remuneration Component; on the other hand, after consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors, Executive Directors may be recognised a short and/or longterm variable remuneration component, subject to the criteria set forth in the incentive system of the Company of which they are Directors.

After consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors may provide additional fixed remuneration to Directors holding special offices; such Directors may also be provided supplementary Benefits relating to lodging and/or the use of company vehicles.

With regard to the criteria and procedures for the recognition of any end-of-office compensation, it will be possible to provide for its assignment in compliance with regulations in force, and in any event subject to a Board of Directors decision based on a Remuneration Committee proposal. Note, however, that to date there are no such arrangements in place with any Director.

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors is determined as a fixed amount, and is adequate to the skills, professional competence and commitment required by the significance of the role covered, and there is a difference between Statutory Auditors and the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors; this is added to the reimbursement of the expense incurred to exercise the function, and an attendance fee for each board meeting, shareholders' meeting or board Committee meeting that the Statutory

Auditor attends. The Company of which they are Statutory Auditors also covers the cost of insurance covering the risks connected to third-party liability deriving from legal and contractual obligations inherent in the office of Statutory Auditor and the related legal protection (i.e. D&O Policy).

The annual compensation for Statutory Auditors of Unipol Gruppo was established by the Shareholders' Meeting of 18 April 2019 for the 2019-2021 term of office, as follows:

Statutory Auditors are not paid any Variable Remuneration.

The Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo called for 28 April 2022 will resolve on the compensation of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors who will be appointed for the 2022-2024 three-year period.

6. The remuneration of the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo and of Key Personnel

Without prejudice to any changes, also related to the imminent renewal of the Corporate Bodies, the remuneration of the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo and the Key Personnel, including Key Managers, and the heads and persons at higher levels of the Key Functions, with managerial classification, includes a Fixed Component13, a Variable Component and Benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions specified below.

6.1 Pay-mix

The theoretical Pay-mix, calculated considering the maximum payable Potential Bonus for each Cluster, as stated in paragraph 6.3.2, follows.

13 Including any Fixed Role Indemnities.

37 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

COURTESY TRANSLATION

6.2 Fixed Component

The Fixed remuneration Component14 is determined, in addition to that envisaged by the applicable National Collective Labour Agreements, also by the following fundamental parameters:

  • importance of the assigned position;
  • complexity of the role covered;
  • significance of the responsibilities attributed;
  • the qualitative weight of the skills possessed and acquired;
  • alignment with sector and comparable market benchmarks.

The Fixed Component determined on the basis of achieving the maximum level of the above-mentioned parameters remains unaltered even if the role changes.

In any case, this component is sufficient for remunerating the Manager also should the Variable Remuneration not be paid.

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 Clusters

Key Personnel who qualify as managers and the remaining management personnel of the Unipol Group companies - apart from the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo - are broken down into Clusters, 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 Executive Cluster includes the Top Executives of the Group (Group Area General Managers, and other Managers, identified each time, who hold positions of particular organisational importance) and the Key Managers to whom the highest responsibilities are given;
  • the holders of roles with high levels of complexity and organisational importance and other Key Managers are included in the 1st Cluster;
  • the holders of roles with specific organisational significance and the remaining Key Managers are included in the 2nd Cluster;
  • the remaining holders of management roles are included in the 3rd Cluster.

Allocation to the Clusters 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 Clusters is updated and revised at least once a year.

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

Within the same Cluster, the criteria for assigning the Potential Bonus take into account the complexity of the organisational position, the professional family, the type of role, the level of responsibility assigned and the seniority matured in the role. The UVP System provides the assumptions and criteria for determination of the Potential Bonus, whose maximum annual

14 Including any Fixed Role Indemnities.

38 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

measurement is determined as a percentage of the Annual Gross Remuneration of the Recipient on 31 December of the Year of Accrual.

The reference Cluster 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 UVP System, aimed at developing a sustainable performance culture, which relates the results of the Group and the individual companies to the individual performances.

The UVP 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 UVP 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 Recipients of the UVP 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 UVP System on a pro rata basis.

The UVP System applies in accordance with differentiated criteria in accordance with:

  • (i) the role of the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo;
  • (ii) the classification of the Recipient as a Key Personnel 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, provided that the role is covered over a time period mostly in the Year of Accrual.15

The actual applicability of the UVP 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 UVP 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, may adopt integrative or replacement incentive systems of the UVP 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) a STI component, whose payment is entirely in monetary form;
  • (ii) an LTI component, whose payment is entirely in financial instruments (Unipol Shares and UnipolSai Shares).

15 Without prejudice to any interim changes in role from or to positions working at the Key Functions.

The Managers included in the 3rd Cluster, if they belong to the Key Personnel, are beneficiaries of a potential Bonus equally divided between STI Bonus (50% up-front and in monetary form) and LTI Bonus (50% deferred and in Shares).

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 objectives16(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 UVP System for the Year of Accrual.

The UVP 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. The minimum threshold of achievement of the individual objectives schedule, given by the weighted sum of the individual achievement levels, is equal to 40 percentage points.

Every year the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo is assigned economic-financial and nonfinancial objectives in line with the corporate strategic schedule described in paragraph 5.2.2.1.

16 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 UVP System amounts to 80% of the budget approved by the Parent Company for the Year of Accrual.

40 Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

Every year both economic-financial and non-financial objectives, quantitative and qualitative in nature, differentiated based on the level of hierarchical-organisational responsibilities, are assigned to the Key Personnel and in general to the Recipients of the UVP System, as shown below.

Group and/or Company economic-financial objectives, specific objectives of one's Department or Function and non-financial objectives, which also include ESG objectives, are envisaged. These objectives are structured in line with the corporate strategic schedule and consistent with the risk profiles established for the Group.

STI Bonus 2022, 2023, 2024

Without prejudice to any changes also connected with the imminent renewal of the Corporate Bodies, the STI Bonus for the General Manager and for the other Managers is disbursed following the same methods established for the Chief Executive Officer, described in paragraph 5.2.2.1, i.e. entirely in the year following that of accrual and in monetary form.

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.

For the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo, for the Key Personnel and for the other Recipients to whom the provisions regarding the Particularly High Amount of the Variable Remuneration apply, each of the five annual pro rata tranches in which the LTI Bonus is disbursed is equal to a predetermined portion of the amount of the Actual LTI Bonus accrued in the Three-Year Accrual Period.

Any attribution is made by March 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 attributed in three annual tranches, each of which is equal to a third of the amount of the Actual LTI Bonus accrued in the Three-Year Accrual Period, re-proportioned on the basis of whether the long-term objectives have been achieved, as illustrated in Table 4 (or Table 7 with reference to the Heads of Key

COURTESY TRANSLATION

Functions). Any disbursement will be on a pro rata basis by March of each of the years 2026, 2027 and 2028, as illustrated below.

The size of the Actual LTI Bonus is proportionately related not only to the achievement also separately - of the long-term performance objectives illustrated in Table 4 (or Table 7 with reference to the Heads of Key Functions), but also to the Individual Performance Levels achieved in the Three-Year Accrual Period (at least equal to 40 percentage points).

A Holding Period lasting one year, which starts when the Shares become materially available to the Recipient 17 , applies to attributed Shares (see following paragraph, "Guidelines on equity ownership").

6.3.2.3 The process for the assignment, assessment and final measurement of the targets

The process of assignment, evaluation and final calculation of the objectives 18 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.

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.

6.3.2.4 Terms of disbursement

The monetary component related to the STI Bonus amount and to the attribution of the LTI Shares owed will be disbursed, in the terms indicated above19, on condition that at the date of payment the Recipient is actually employed by Unipol or another Unipol Group company, subject to the following20:

    1. The amount of the monetary component to disburse relating to the amount of STI Bonus due is 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:

17 Without prejudice to the possibility of "sell to cover" (sale of the securities necessary to procure the liquidity necessary to fulfil tax charges arising from the attribution of the securities).

18 As will be described in detail in the implementing Regulation of the UVP System.

19 As will be described in detail in the implementing Regulation of the UVP System.

    1. In the following cases21, Shares relating to the LTI Bonus portions will be 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-Year Accrual Period, 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-Year Accrual Period due to an agreement with the employer on the basis of what is defined in the previous agreement;

Please also note that in the case of termination of the employment Relationship due to death or permanent disability equal to or greater than 66% before the end of the Performance or Vesting Period, the short-term and long-term Potential Bonus of the year in which termination of employment Relationship occurred will be paid in an entirely monetary form together with the end of employment fees to the Recipient (or to the heirs or assignees), applying the "pro-rata temporis" criterion, as well as the long-term Bonus accruing and/or already accrued but not yet disbursed of the years prior to occurrence of the event.

6.3.2.5 Guidelines on equity ownership

The obligation to keep the Shares attributed by the incentive systems is envisaged22:

  • for the General Manager and the Executive Cluster Managers until termination of permanence in the role;
  • for 1st Cluster Managers, until termination of permanence in the role and for a target amount of Shares equal to 1 year of Fixed Remuneration.

6.4 Benefits

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.

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 Severance

Any payment of an amount if the termination of employment is on a consensual basis, or if the termination of employment is not backed by just cause or dismissal for just cause or resignation by just cause - if agreed upon - will be equal to three years worth of annual Compensation, plus the normal end of employment fees and the advance notice substitution indemnity required by the national collective labour agreement for those who have accrued service seniority of more than 10 years or equal to two years worth of annual Compensation for those who have accrued service seniority of less than or equal to 10 years. This amount since being calculated on the Compensation it takes into account the performance on average in a period of at least three years.

With regard to the General Manager of Unipol Gruppo, in the case of termination of the employment relationship by Unipol Gruppo not for just cause, or in the case of termination of the employment relationship at the request of the reference Shareholder of Unipol Gruppo, 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 severance pay and the pay in lieu of notice provided for by the National Collective Labour Contract.

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

6.6 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;

  • any compensation recognised on a one-off basis to restore any revocation of Benefits previously assigned (such as cars for example);
  • payments pertaining to specific agreements for Loyalty Bonuses already existing in agreement with prior Remuneration Policies.

7. The Remuneration Policies of the Key Functions

The remuneration of personnel with managerial classification working at the Key Functions, in line with market practices, is made up of the same elements described above in Chapter 6, except for the provision of several specificities consistent with the applicable regulatory requirements. With reference to the remuneration of the nonmanagerial personnel belonging to the Key Functions, please refer to the following paragraph 8.

To determine the Fixed and Variable Components, and the Pay-mix, trend and market benchmark analyses are periodically carried out to retain an adequate competitiveness of the overall pay package in order to fairly, adequately and continuously attract, reward and encourage the best professionalisms.

The Fixed Remuneration is of an adequate level as regards the importance of the position assigned, the responsibilities and the role played, in addition to being in line with the sector and comparable levels and market practices.

Variable Remuneration for the personnel of the Key Functions of managerial level is provided in order to ensure a direct connection between the remuneration received and the performance achieved based on individual and function objectives associated with the quality and effectiveness of the control actions exercised, while also pursuing the objective of expressing an effective retention and growth policy, both professional and managerial.

The Variable Remuneration is consistent with the specific activities of each Key Function of managerial level, is independent from the results attained by the operating units subject to their control, and is tied to the achievement of objectives connected with the effectiveness and quality of the control action, provided that it is not a source of conflict of interest and is consistent with the regulatory framework of reference.

The impact of the Variable Remuneration on the Fixed Remuneration varies depending on the level of complexity of role - as shown in Table 5 - and never exceeds the ratio 1:1, in line with the practices collected on the domestic and international market. The impact of the STI Component on the total Variable Remuneration is equivalent to the impact of the LTI Component.

In order to guarantee maximum independence possible of the performance objectives of the Key Functions, therefore avoiding possible conflicts of interest, the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Control and Risk Committee, is responsible for assigning and measuring the short and long-term objectives and for checking the consistency of their total remuneration with the Remuneration Policies in effect at the time.

Specific adaptations with reference to the Personnel of managerial level working at the Key Functions are applied to the UVP System.

More specifically, with reference to the STI Bonus:

  • access to the UVP System is tied only to the achievement of the Solvency II24 coverage ratios, and not also to profitability objectives;
  • the short-term objectives are identified consistent with the effectiveness and quality of the control action, without comprising economic-financial objectives pertaining to the areas subject to their control.

With reference to the LTI Bonus, the size of the bonus depends on whether the indicators reported in the table below have been achieved, including separately.

24 Solvency Ratio defined as part of the Risk Appetite Statement approved by the Administrative Body set for the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period by the decision-making bodies. 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.

The Variable Remuneration paid to the personnel of the Key Functions qualifying as Managers - like for the other Managers belonging to the Key Personnel is subject to the conditions precedent and the corrective mechanisms (Malus and Claw-back) established by the Policy (see paragraph 9).

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

In addition to the Fixed Component, the remuneration 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 Agreements 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 Agreements in effect, applicable to the personnel working at the companies, may 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 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 UVP System may be assigned not only to the Unipol Group Managers, but to some selected profiles not belonging to the management personnel as well, whose bonuses will have a form and size consistent with the levels of responsibility assigned and will be aligned with any applicable regulatory requirements.

In addition to those provided for by the applicable National Collective Labour Agreement, in complying with any applicable regulatory requirements, the following can also form part of the remuneration:

  • a one-off payment and/or individual company bonuses, disbursed in monetary form 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 employment 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).

9. Ex post correction mechanisms

The Recipient subjected to a disciplinary measure of suspension from service 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, 5.2.2.2, 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2, 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 (i.e. calculation errors in determining one or more of the vesting conditions or malicious alteration of the data used for such determination or the determination of one or more of the vesting conditions through conduct contrary to legal provisions and/or company rules and/or the Regulation).

With reference to the deterioration 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 return of any remuneration paid if the Recipient has acted in breach of the relevant Supervisory Provisions or if the Recipient has engaged in fraudulent and/or wilful or grossly negligent conduct in connection with the performance of his or her duties, which has resulted in a deterioration of the risk profiles and/or results of the Group and/or the company itself, as well as violations of the Code of Ethics25 and/or conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory or statutory provisions, on the basis of the provisions of the regulations, without prejudice to any further action, or determined on the basis of

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

data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect (i.e. calculation errors in determining one or more of the vesting conditions or malicious alteration of the data used for such determination or the determination of one or more of the vesting conditions through conduct contrary to legal provisions and/or company rules and/or the Regulation).

With reference to the deterioration 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 this end, the Chief Risk Officer, in charge of Risk Management activities, with the support of the other corporate functions involved, will recalculate the Solvency II Ratio in order to verify whether such conduct may have led to the non-compliance with the targets set in terms of Risk Appetite for the Accrual Year by the relevant decision-making bodies.

Unipol and/or the Reference Company reserves the right to require the Recipient to return the Shares to which he/she is entitled, even pending the Holding Period, with the consequent definitive termination of all the Recipient's rights in this regard, or to require the Recipient - within the limits of what is possible under the applicable regulations - to return to Unipol and/or the Reference Company, in whole or in part, also by offsetting any sum due to him/her for any reason, an amount equivalent to the value of the taxable amount for personal income tax purposes of the Shares already allocated, without prejudice to the right to compensation for further damage.

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.

4. The remuneration of Directors

The 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.

This Shareholders' Meeting decided to pay, in compliance with the Remuneration Policies approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol Gruppo on 14 March 2019 and with the Remuneration Policies of 2021, the following remuneration components:

  • a fixed annual gross payment for each Director of Euro 60,000;
  • in person attendance fees for participation in each board meeting or shareholders' meeting of the gross amount of Euro 1,000, reduced to Euro 500 if the participation was through telephone or audiovisual connection;

  • the insurance coverage of the risks related to third-party liability deriving from legal and contractual obligations inherent to the function of Director and the related legal and economic protection in accordance with prevailing laws, with the charges to be paid by the Reference Company (see herein).

The Board of Directors meeting of 1 August 2019, after consultation with the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, defined the fees due:

  • 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 2021, 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 2021 is shown in Table 1 - Section II below.

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

Proportion of Fixed Component and Variable Component

The indication of the proportion between the fixed and the variable type of payments for 2021 of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO is shown below. The corresponding remuneration elements shown in 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 consulted with 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 2021.

The details of the payments of the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO for the year 2021 are shown in Table 1 - Section II below.

Variable Component

At its meeting of 1 April 2020, the Board of Directors approved the 2021 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 (LTI component)

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 favourable 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 third and final tranche was paid on 28 April 2021. In particular, Unipol paid the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO one tranche 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.

Subject to what is set out in the paragraph below regarding the 2019-2021 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 UPM system

With regard to the 2021 Variable Component, the Board of Directors, at the board meeting of 24 March 2022, having acknowledged 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 2021 short-term incentive and the 2019-2021 long-term incentive.

2021 STI Bonus

Following this favourable measurement, it will therefore be possible to pay the variable STI incentive for 2021 in relation to the Individual Performance Level achieved.

2019-2021 LTI Bonus

Furthermore, based on the Individual Performance Levels achieved in the individual years of the three-year period and the above-mentioned fulfilment of the conditions for disbursement of the LTI long-term incentive, it will then be possible to pay the monetary portion and the equity portion (50% Unipol Shares and 50% UnipolSai Shares) starting from January 2023 and for the next four years.

2019 STI Bonus

With reference to the short-term variable component of 2019 for personnel falling within the significant risk taker category, not paid in 2020 by virtue of what the Board of Directors resolved concerning its suspension, please note that:

Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

  • given the positive financial results (statutory and consolidated) and the Group's high capital strength, on 5 August 2021 the Board of Directors Unipol Gruppo proposed to the next Shareholders' Meeting to distribute part of the extraordinary profit reserve recorded in the Company's financial statements to the Unipol Shareholders;
  • on 30 September 2021 the prudential recommendation issued on 15 December 2020 by the European Systemic Risk Board on distribution of dividends (in addition to payment of the variable remuneration components) lapsed due to expiration of the time limits and on 1 October 2021 the Shareholders' Meeting, having ascertained the conditions, resolved in favour of the legal disbursement of 2019 dividends;
  • on 11 November 2021, the Unipol Gruppo Board of Directors, based on the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, resolved in favour of the proposed disbursement of the Short Term Incentive (STI) Bonus for 2019 to Group Managers classified as significant risk takers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO and the General Manager.

Please refer to Table 3A and Table 3B - Section II below for more details on the amount of said 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 adequate lodgings in the city of Bologna for the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO.

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

6. 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 herein).

Statutory Auditors are paid no variable remuneration.

The details of the payments of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors for the year 2021 are shown in Table 1 - Section II below.

7. 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 2021, 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 362,000.

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

Remuneration Policies of the Unipol Group and Report on the remuneration policy and on the compensation paid by Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. - FY 2022

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.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 5 OF THE ORDINARY MEETING

Compensation plan based on financial instruments pursuant to article 114-bis of the Legislative Decree no 58/1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance). Consequent and related resolutions.

Dear Shareholders,

The Board of Directors has called this ordinary meeting to discuss and resolve, inter alia, on the proposed approval, pursuant to and in accordance with Art. 114-bis of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the Consolidated Law on Finance or "TUF"), of a Compensation Plan based on financial instruments for the parties specified below (the "2022-2024 Compensation Plan" or the "Plan"), as the analogous plan approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company") expired on 18 April 2019.

The 2022-2024 Compensation Plan – intended, at the publication date of this report, for the Chief Executive Officer, General Manager, Key managers, additional Relevant Personnel and other Managers of Unipol with the right to participate in the Plan based on what is set forth in the variable incentive system within the remuneration policies of the Company reviewed by the Shareholders' Meeting in previous item no. 4 on the agenda ("Remuneration policies") – establishes, subject to the fulfilment of specific conditions and the achievement of specific targets, the assignment to recipients of Unipol ordinary shares and UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. ordinary shares, based on a performance share plan, in equal parts, starting from 2026, and:

  • − for the two subsequent years 2027 and 2028 for those who are not recipients of a particularly high amount of variable remuneration pursuant to the Letter to the market published by IVASS on 5 July 2018 entitled "IVASS Guidance on application of the principle of proportionality in the system of governance of insurance and reinsurance companies and groups" (the "Guidelines");
  • − for the four subsequent years i.e., 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 for those to whom Guidelines apply in case of a particularly high amount of variable remuneration

In keeping with the Remuneration policies, the 2022-2024 Compensation Plan is part of the above-mentioned incentive system for Company Managers, which governs and regulates the conditions and procedures for the disbursement of the variable component of remuneration, both short- and medium/long-term. Indeed, Unipol is convinced that this incentive tool contributes to the spread of a corporate culture oriented towards creating sustainable value over time and direct participation in the results, and therefore of coresponsibility and real engagement in the pursuit of business targets, aligning the interests of Plan beneficiaries with those of Shareholders.

All the characteristics of the 2022-2024 Compensation Plan are described in the Information Document, prepared in accordance with Article 114-bis of the Consolidated

Law on Finance and Article 84-bis of CONSOB Regulation no. 11971/1999 (the "Issuers' Regulation") as amended, made available to the public within the terms and according to the procedures prescribed by Article 125-ter of the Issuers' Regulation, and annexed to this Explanatory Report.

Therefore, the Board of Directors submits to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting the following resolution proposal.

2. The reasons for the adoption of the Plan

2.1. The goals meant to be attained by attributing the plans

The Plan is part of the broader incentive system of the Unipol Group, called UVP System. The Plan is directed:

  • at incentivising, retaining and motivating the Beneficiaries, assuring adequate remuneration levels in the presence of high professional performance (with a view to internal fairness and external competitiveness);
  • at assuring that remuneration systems comply with applicable industry provisions with the goal of defining, in the interest of all Stakeholders, remuneration systems that are in line with the strategies and long-term corporate objectives, connected with corporate results, appropriately corrected to take all risks into account, such as to avoid incentives that may lead to regulatory violations;
  • at aligning the interests of Beneficiaries and Stakeholders by rewarding the creation of long-term sustainable value through the measurement of Unipol's overall share performance and ESG-type indicators ("Environmental, Social and Governance");
  • The Plan, like the UVP System, is based on the logic of self-funding. An essential requirement for the payment of the incentives also in the long term, aside from continuing positive actual economic results and minimising risk factors, is therefore the existence of a Dividend Capability, that is, the satisfaction of the conditions, in terms of economic result and minimum solvency requirements of Unipol, for any distribution of dividends to the Unipol shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws and of the law applicable on each occasion.

2.1.1. More detailed information

the reasons and criteria according to which the issuer decided to establish a given ratio between incentivising remuneration based on financial instruments and other components of overall remuneration.

The incidence of the variable remuneration on the fixed remuneration is such as to assure both a suitable balancing between the monetary component and the component based on financial instruments, and an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term results.

Within the same Cluster, the assignment to the Beneficiary of the Potential Bonus and consequently the weight of the variable component based on financial instruments take into account the complexity of the organisational position, professional category to which the resources belongs, the type of role, the level of responsibility assigned and the seniority accrued in the role.

For Beneficiaries with a Potential Bonus higher than the Fixed Remuneration, the incidence of the component based on financial instruments is at least 60% of the total Variable Remuneration. With reference to Relevant Personnel this incidence is not in any case lower than 50% of the Variable Remuneration.

purposes of long-term incentive systems;

Please refer to paragraph 2.1.

the criteria for defining the time horizon on the basis of the incentive systems.

The Plan is based on a three-year performance time frame (2022-2024), coinciding with the Group's Business Plan, such that the remuneration takes into account the trend over time of the risks borne and the financial results of Unipol. Moreover, in accordance with the Code of Corporate Governance, the remuneration plan based on financial instruments for the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and Unipol Group Managers (including Key Managers), encourages alignment with shareholders' interests over a long-term horizon, requiring most of the Plan to have an overall vesting period and retention period for the assigned shares of at least five years.

2.2. Key variables, also in the form of performance indicators considered for the purposes of the attribution of the plans based on financial instruments

The UVP System establishes requirements and criteria for the payment of a variable component of remuneration, partly short term (STI), paid in cash, and partly long term (LTI), which provides for the assignment of Shares upon the occurrence of specific conditions and upon achieving specific Performance Objectives.

For the STI Actual Bonus to be fully payable, the existence of a Dividend Capability is requested first of all, that is, the satisfaction of the conditions, in terms of economic result and minimum solvency requirements of Unipol, for any distribution of dividends to the Unipol shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws and of the law applicable on each occasion.

Recognition and calculation of the amount of the LTI Bonus are strictly related to the Individual Performance Levels achieved by the Beneficiary in the Three-Year Accrual Period for the purposes of payment of the LTI Bonus (2022, 2023 and 2024).

The UVP System will not produce any effect with respect to Beneficiaries as long as all of the following conditions are met:

For the STI Bonus to become payable:

  • a. achievement of a given percentage of the target Unipol Consolidated Gross Profit as per the budget approved for each Accrual Year, namely:1
    • for the Managing Director, General Manager, Key Managers and for other Relevant Personnel, the achievement of at least 90% of the Consolidated Gross Profits target;
    • for other Beneficiaries, the achievement of at least 80% of the Consolidated Gross Profits target;
  • b. existence of a consolidated coverage ratio of prudential requirements (capital adequacy) of Unipol calculated according to the Solvency II2 metrics, equal to the Risk Appetite (hereinafter also "Gate") established as part of the Risk Appetite Statement approved by the relevant decision-making bodies for each Accrual Year. A result ranging between the Gate and the Risk Tolerance, approved by the administrative body as part of the Risk Appetite Statement, reduces by 25% the Actual Bonus, which drops down to zero if the result is lower than the Risk Tolerance.

For the LTI Bonus to become payable:

c. existence of a minimum threshold of the consolidated coverage ratio of prudential requirements (capital adequacy) of Unipol calculated according to the Solvency II3 metrics, equal to the Risk Appetite established as part of the Risk Appetite Statement approved by the relevant decisionmaking bodies for the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period.

Access to the Plan of Managers working within the Fundamental Functions is not linked to the satisfaction of the condition referred to in point 2.2 letter a.

2.3. Elements underlying the determination of the size of the remuneration based on financial instruments, that is, criteria for its calculation

The performance period on which the Plan is based is three years (2022 - 2023 - 2024). The UVP System, as referred to in point 2.2 above, provides for the payment of a cash bonus under the STI Bonus and a share bonus under the LTI Bonus. Shares are allotted according to the criteria illustrated in point 2.3.1 below.

2.3.1. Information for the relevant plans

The factors considered in order to decide the extent of the remuneration

Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2.2, access to the Plan is further subject:

1 Without prejudice to any amendments and/or additions, decided by the competent corporate bodies in compliance with the provisions of the Remuneration Policies, resulting from factors not related to the ordinary industrial management of individual businesses. This condition does not apply to the Beneficiaries working as part of the Fundamental Functions.

2 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.

3 See Note 2.

  • to the achievement of a pre-determined minimum Individual Performance Level in the Accrual Year, for the quantification of the STI Bonus which, according to the provisions of the UVP System, is determined based on the final measurement of the result of economic-financial and non-financial targets, relating to the area under the responsibility of each Beneficiary.4 Such targets are structured in line with the strategic objectives of Unipol Group and consistent with the risk profiles established for Unipol Group itself. An Individual Performance Level of less than 40 percentage points in an Accrual Year results in the Actual STI Bonus dropping down to zero for that Accrual Year;
  • to the calculation of the LTI Bonus, the amount of which is determined in proportion to the Actual STI Bonus of each of the three years comprising the Three-Year Accrual Period. This calculation is carried out, for all Beneficiaries who do not work within the Key Functions, according to the following Performance Objectives:
    • I. 35% based on the actual three year Cumulative Consolidated Gross Profit compared to the Business Plan target Cumulative Consolidated Gross Profit. The threshold level is equal to 80% of the target;
    • II. 25% on the basis of Unipol's actual solvency5 capital requirement in the Accrual Period compared with the target solvency6 capital requirement defined by the competent decision-making bodies in the three-year Business Plan period. The threshold level is equal to the Risk Appetite set by the decision-making bodies in the three-year Business Plan period;
    • III. 20% based on the achievement, at the end of the Accrual Period, of a target value of the Total Shareholder Return of Unipol measured in the 2022-2024 three-year period. The threshold level is set by the decision-making bodies in line with the Business Plan;
    • IV. 20% depending on the level of achievement of the following sustainability objectives (ESG criteria):
      • reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from Unipol Group's instrumental buildings, in line with climate science-based targets;
      • increasing the amount of thematic investments in support of the UN 2030 Agenda;
      • containment of the ratio of the average value of the gender pay gap on the Unipol Group perimeter below a threshold value.

Elements taken into consideration for modification compared to similar previous plans

Compared to similar plans adopted by Unipol in the past, the main new elements of the Plan concern, as part of a broader review of the UVP System (as already indicated in paragraph 2.2.):

  • the method of payment of the STI Bonus entirely in cash, instead of 50% in Shares and 50% in cash, and of the LTI Bonus entirely in Shares, instead of 50% in Shares and 50% in cash;
  • the application of a deferral period of 5 years also to Managers of Cluster 1 to whom the provisions of the IVASS Guidelines on the particularly high amount of Variable Remuneration apply;
  • greater granularity of the Potential Bonus to be awarded to Managers in the same Cluster;
  • the introduction of ESG metrics into annual and multi-year performance measurement;
  • the inclusion of a condition of overall return on the Unipol share considering both the change in price and the distribution of dividends, instead of a condition linked solely to the increase in the share price;
  • the arrangement, also with reference to some LTI targets, of performance curves between a minimum and a target level of the results.

The way in which any remuneration achievable on the basis of such previous plans has influenced this determination

Any remuneration achievable on the basis of the previous plans adopted by Unipol had no influence on the definition of the criteria for determining the size of the remuneration based on financial instruments.

Indications on the consistency between the elements at the basis of the determination of the remuneration and the established targets

7 See Note 2.

8 See Note 2.

The introduction of targets based not only on business results but also on correct indicators for risks or indicators of capital soundness or ESG indicators satisfies, still more consistently, the need to align the interests of the Beneficiaries with those of all of the Stakeholders, remunerating the creation of long term value and appreciation of the Unipol and UnipolSai stocks.

2.4. Reasons at the basis of any decision to attribute remuneration plans based on financial instruments not issued by the issuer of financial instruments, such as financial instruments issued by subsidiaries or by parent companies or by third party companies with respect to the group to which they belong; if the aforesaid instruments are not traded on regulated markets, information on the criteria used to determine the value that is attributable to them

The Plan provides for the assignment of Unipol Shares and of UnipolSai Shares as the main subsidiary of Unipol. This choice is aimed at further developing the role and contribution of the main subsidiary within the overall business of the Group, incentivising Beneficiaries further to sustain its value and market position.

2.5. Evaluations pertaining to significant implications of a fiscal and accounting nature that affected the definition of the plans

There are no significant implications of a fiscal and accounting nature that affected the definition of the Plan.

2.6. Any support to the plan by the special Fund for incentivising workers' participation in enterprises, per Art. 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003

The Plan does not receive support by the special Fund for incentivising workers' participation in enterprises, per Art. 4, paragraph 112, of Law no. 350 of 24 December 2003.

The Board of Directors of Unipol, having obtained the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, having heard the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Related Party Committee, in line with the Group's Related Party Procedure, and to the extent of the competence of the corresponding bodies of the Consolidated Companies concerned, has the power to make exceptions to the Remuneration Policies deemed necessary or appropriate, in line with the objective of maintaining the overall fairness and consistency of the Remuneration Policies or for the purposes of pursuing the long-term interests and sustainability of the company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay on the market.

4.1. Description of the forms in which the remuneration plans based on financial instruments are structured

The Plan, under the terms and conditions set out in the Rules, provides for the free allocation of Shares to the Beneficiaries.

4.2. Indication of the period of the actual implementation of the plan with reference also to any different cycle

The Plan is based on an "one-off" cycle, with a three-year vesting period (2022-2024), and it entails the assignment of free Shares.

4.3. Expiration of the plan

The Plan will end in 2024. The Shares will be attributed to the Beneficiaries starting from 2026 during the following three years for Beneficiaries not benefiting from the Particularly high Variable Component, while, for the following five years, for the Beneficiaries benefiting from this component, as stated below:

  • for Beneficiaries to whom the provisions of the IVASS Guidelines on the particularly high amount of Variable Remuneration do not apply, in three annual tranches (2026 - 2027 - 2028) each equal to one third of the Shares attributable, by March of each year; and
  • for Beneficiaries to whom the provisions of the IVASS Guidelines on the particularly high amount of Variable Remuneration applies, in five annual tranches (2026 – 2027 – 2028 – 2029 - 2030) each equal to one fifth of the Shares attributable, by March of each year.

4.4. The maximum number of financial instruments, also in the form of options, allocated in every financial year in relation to the persons identified by name or to the indicated categories

The maximum number of Shares that may be allocated under the Plan will be established during the implementation of the Plan itself, depending on the Reference Cluster for each Beneficiary during the Three-Year Accrual Period, as well as on the fulfilment of the access conditions and the achievement of the targets, and will be communicated pursuant to art. 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations or, in any case, pursuant to the laws and regulations applicable from time to time.

4.5. Procedures and clauses for the implementation of the plan, specifying whether the actual attribution of the instrument is subordinated to certain conditions being met or to the attainment of determined results, including performance results: descriptions of such conditions and results

Please refer to that already stated in paragraph 2.2.2.2

4.6. Indication of any availability constraints imposed on the attributed instruments or on the instruments resulting from the exercise of the options, with particular reference to the terms within which their subsequent transfer to the company itself or to third parties is allowed or forbidden

For the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and certain Key Managers, the obligation to maintain the Shares until the end of the mandate or permanence in the role is established.

In any event, without prejudice to the possibility of adopting the "sell to cover" option (consisting in the sale of the securities necessary to procure the liquidity required to meet the tax obligations arising from the allocation of such securities), the Shares are subject to a Holding Period of one year, commencing from the moment when the Shares become materially available to the Beneficiary.

4.7. Description of any termination conditions in relation to the attribution of the plans if the beneficiaries carry out hedging transactions that enable them to neutralise any prohibitions from selling the assigned financial instruments, including in the form of options, or the financial instruments resulting from the exercise of these options

Pursuant to Art. 275, paragraph 2 (g) of the EU Delegated Regulation 35/2015, it is forbidden to use personal hedging strategies or insurance relating to remuneration and liabilities that would undermine the risk alignment effects embedded in the respective remuneration arrangement.

4.8. Description of the effects determined by termination of employment

The Shares will be allocated from 2026 and by March of each year, provided that on the date of allocation of each share, as indicated in paragraph 4.3, the Beneficiary is actually employed by Unipol or other Unipol Group companies and is not in a notice period or on leave of absence, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors more favourably for the Beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares will be allocated in the following cases:

  • I. to Beneficiaries terminating their employment with Unipol and/or with other companies of the Unipol Group, starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period, due to the accrual of the right to a retirement old age pension or other forms of accrual of the right to a retirement pension, as long as adopted on the company's initiative through recourse to legislative or contractual provisions;
  • II. to Beneficiaries terminating their employment with Unipol and/or with other companies of the Unipol Group, starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period, due to a consensual agreement with the employer, based on that set forth in the aforementioned agreement;
  • III. to Beneficiaries involved in extraordinary corporate transactions resulting in the transfer of ownership of the controlling interest of the Company of which they are employees to another party not belonging to the Unipol Group, concluded starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period.

In the event of termination of employment or mandate due to death or permanent disability of 66% or more prior to the end of the performance measurement period, the Beneficiary (or heirs or assigns) shall be paid the STI Bonus and LTI Bonus for the year in which the termination of employment or mandate occurred, in full monetary form, together with the severance pay, on a pro-rata temporis basis.

4.9. Indication of any other reasons for cancellation of the plans

A Beneficiary subjected to a disciplinary measure of suspension from work during the Accrual Year or Three-Year Accrual Period shall in any case lose his/her entitlement to the payment of the STI Bonus and LTI Bonus.

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

a. Malus

The bonuses in the incentive system shall not be paid in the event of any deterioration in the performance of Unipol and/or the Group, or in the event of failure by the Beneficiary to comply with regulatory and supervisory provisions, followed by the imposition of a disciplinary sanction on the Beneficiary, as well as in the event of findings by the Key Functions showing conduct in serious breach of internal provisions, external provisions, or applicable standards of conduct, as well as if they have been determined on the basis of data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect (i.e. calculation errors in determining one or more of the vesting conditions or malicious alteration of the data used for such determination or the determination of one or more of the vesting conditions through conduct contrary to legal provisions and/or company rules and/or the Rules).

With reference to the deterioration of risk profiles, Unipol shall reduce or cancel any remuneration to be paid in the event that the above-mentioned conduct of the Beneficiary has had an impact on the Solvency II Ratio of the Group and/or Unipol, where applicable. To this end, the Chief Risk Officer, in charge of Risk Management activities, with the support of the other corporate functions involved, will recalculate the Solvency II Ratio in order to verify whether such conduct may have led to the noncompliance with the targets set in terms of Risk Appetite for the Accrual Year by the relevant decision-making bodies.

b. Claw-back

Unipol will require the return of any remuneration paid if the Beneficiary has acted in breach of the relevant Supervisory Provisions or if the Beneficiary has engaged in fraudulent and/or wilful or grossly negligent conduct in connection with the performance of his or her duties, which has resulted in a deterioration of the risk profiles and/or results of the Group and/or the company itself, as well as violations of the Code of Ethics and/or conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory or statutory provisions, on the basis of the provisions of the regulations, without prejudice to any further action, or determined on the basis of data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect (i.e. calculation errors in determining one or more of the vesting conditions or malicious alteration of the data used for such determination or the determination of one or more of the vesting conditions through conduct contrary to legal provisions and/or company rules and/or the Rules).9

9 The assessments regarding cases of violation of the Code of Ethics are the responsibility of the respective function.

With reference to the deterioration of risk profiles, Unipol shall request that any remuneration that may have been paid be returned in the event that the fraudulent conduct and/or wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Beneficiary has had an impact on the Solvency II Ratio of the Group and/or the Reference Company, where applicable. To this end, the Chief Risk Officer, in charge of Risk Management activities, with the support of the other corporate functions involved, will recalculate the Solvency II Ratio in order to verify whether such conduct may have led to the non-compliance with the targets set in terms of Risk Appetite for the Accrual Year by the relevant decision-making bodies.

Unipol reserves the right to require the Beneficiary to return the Shares to which he/she is entitled, even pending the Holding Period, with the consequent definitive termination of all the Beneficiary's rights in this regard, or to require the Beneficiary - within the limits of what is possible under the applicable regulations - to return to Unipol, in whole or in part, also by offsetting any sum due to him/her for any reason, an amount equivalent to the value of the taxable amount for personal income tax purposes of the Shares already allocated, without prejudice to the right to compensation for further damage.

The duration of the period during which the clause applies is set at five years, starting from the payment of the single instalment of Variable Remuneration.

4.10. The reasons for the provision of any "redemption" by the company, of the financial instruments under the plans, prescribed in accordance with Art. 2357 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the beneficiaries of the redemption indicating whether it is intended only for particular categories of employees; the effects of the termination of employment on said redemption

Not applicable, as no form of redemption is provided for.

4.11. Any loans or other favourable terms to be granted for the purchase of the shares in accordance with Art. 2358 of the Civil Code

No loans or other favourable terms shall be granted for the purchase of the shares in accordance with Art. 2358 of the Civil Code.

4.12. Indication of assessments on the expected cost for the company at the date of assignment, as it can be determined on the basis of already defined terms and conditions, by total amount and in relation to each instrument of the plan

As of the approval date of the Plan, it is not possible to state the exact amount of the expected cost for Unipol in implementing the Plan, since the number of Shares subject to assignment cannot be predetermined in relation to that already stated in point 4.4.

For prudential purposes, Unipol budgets, according to accounting rules, the expected cost in relation to any LTI Bonus; this amount is determined on the basis of estimates that assume:

  • partial fulfilment of the conditions for payment of the LTI Bonus, making assumptions about the trend in Unipol Consolidated Gross Profit, the Solvency II Ratio and the overall return on Unipol shares over the three-year period of the Plan, taking into account both the price change and the distribution of dividends;
  • a given percentage, supported by historical statistics, of the potential beneficiaries of any payment on the basis of the attainment of the targets.

4.13. Indication of any dilutive effects on the capital determined by the remuneration plans

The Plan does not determine any dilutive effect, inasmuch as it does not entail the issue of new shares by Unipol.

4.14. Any limits prescribed for the exercise of the voting right and for the attribution of the asset rights

There are no restrictions for the exercise of voting rights and the attribution of the asset rights in relation to the Shares to be assigned.

4.15. If the shares are not traded in regulated markets, all useful information for a complete assessment of the value attributable to them

The Shares are traded on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA) managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

4.16 - 4.23

These provisions are not applicable because Unipol has no remuneration plans based on stock options.

TABLE 1 SCHEDULE I – Sections 1 and 2

At the date of publishing this Information Document, the information relating to financial instruments different from stock options cannot be determined, insomuch as the maximum number of Shares that may be assigned under the Plan will be established during the implementation of the Plan itself and will be notified pursuant to art. 84-bis, paragraph 5, letter a), of the Issuers' Regulations or, in any case, pursuant to the laws and regulations applicable from time to time. The respective quantification can only take place at the end of the Plan; in particular, it is noted that the quantification of Shares is linked to the reference Cluster of each Beneficiary during the Three-Year Accrual Period, as well as subject to the satisfaction of conditions and to the achievement of Performance Targets only verifiable during the course and/or at the end of the Plan.

SCHEDULE II – Sections 1 and 2

This information is not applicable because Unipol has no remuneration plans based on stock options.

1. Purpose and scope

  • 1.1. The purpose of the Rules is to set forth provisions for the 2022-2024 Plan.
  • 1.2. The 2022-2024 Plan is part of a broader Unipol Group Incentive System, referred to as the UVP System, and is designed to develop a sustainable performance culture with the matching of Group and Unipol results with individual performance.
  • 1.3. The UVP System establishes requirements and criteria for the payment of a variable component of remuneration, partly short term (STI), paid in cash, and partly long term (LTI), which provides for the assignment of Shares upon the occurrence of specific conditions and upon the achievement of specific Performance Objectives.
  • 1.4. The 2022-2024 Plan provides for the assignment of Shares to the Beneficiaries.

An essential requirement for the payment of the incentives also in the long term, aside from continuing positive actual performance results and minimising risk factors, is therefore the existence of a Dividend Capability, that is, the satisfaction of the conditions, in terms of economic result and minimum solvency requirements of the Unipol Group, for any distribution of dividends to the Unipol shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws and of the law applicable on each occasion.

  • b. existence of a consolidated coverage ratio of prudential requirements (capital adequacy) of Unipol calculated according to the Solvency II2 metrics, equal to the Risk Appetite (hereinafter also "Gate") approved by the relevant decision-making bodies for each Accrual Year.

Risk Tolerance.

For the LTI Bonus to become payable:

existence of a consolidated coverage ratio of prudential requirements (capital adequacy) of Unipol calculated according to the Solvency II3 metrics, equal to the Risk Appetite established as part of the Risk Appetite Statement approved by the relevant decision-making bodies for the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period.

  • 3.3. Access to the Plan is also subject:
    • a. to the achievement of a pre-determined minimum Individual Performance Level in each Accrual Year which, according to the provisions of the UVP System, is calculated based on the extent of achievement of individual targets, both financial and non-financial, assigned to each Beneficiary and relating to the relevant area of responsibility.4 Such targets are structured in line with the strategic objectives of the Unipol Group and consistent with the risk profiles established for the Unipol Group itself. The achievement of an Individual Performance Level below 40% leads to the cancellation of the Actual Bonus referred to the Accrual Year;
    • b. the calculation of the LTI Bonus, the amount of which is determined in proportion to the Individual Performance Level achieved in each of the three years making up the Three-Year Accrual Period.

This calculation, for all Beneficiaries not working as part of the Fundamental Functions is made:

  • I. for a quota between 17.5% and 35%, in linear proportion to the achievement of a result between 80% and 100% of the target Cumulative Consolidated Gross Profit as per the Group's Business Plan. A result of less than 80% of the above-mentioned target cancels this quota;
  • II. for a quota equal to (a) 12.5%, or (b) 25% depending on the achievement, at the end of the Three-Year Accrual Period, respectively (a) of a result between the threshold objective and the target objective defined by the competent decision-making bodies in the three-year period of the Solvency Capital Requirement Business Plan5 of Unipol. The threshold level is equal to the Risk Appetite set by the decision-making bodies during the three-year period of the Business Plan; (b) a result equal to or greater than the target defined by the competent decision-making bodies in the three-year period of the Solvency Capital Requirement Business Plan of Unipol6 . A result of less than the above-mentioned target cancels this quota;
  • III. for a quota equal to (a) 10%, or (b) 20% depending on the achievement, at the end of the Threeyear Accrual Period, respectively (a) of a result between the threshold objective and the target objective of Total Shareholder Return of Unipol measured in the three-year period 2022-2024, expressed as the total percentage return on Unipol shares, taking into account both the change in share price (the ratio of the average daily price of the Unipol share in the first two months of 2025 to the average daily price in the two months prior to the date of presentation of the Business Plan) and the dividends distributed and reinvested in the share on the coupon detachment date, as established by the decision-making bodies in line with the Group Business Plan; (b) a result equal to or greater than the target Total Shareholder Return of Unipol measured over the three-year period 2022-2024, as identified above. A result of less than the above-mentioned target cancels this quota;
  • IV. for a quota of 15% depending on the achievement of Climate Strategy targets, expressed as a reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the Unipol Group's instrumental properties, in line with climate science-based objectives, and an increase in the amount of thematic investments in support of the UN 2030 Agenda, as defined by the competent decisionmaking bodies in line with the Group Business Plan. A result of less than the above-mentioned targets cancels this quota
  • V. for a share of 5% depending on the achievement of a target to contain the ratio of the average

gender pay gap on the Unipol Group scope below a pre-set value, as defined by the competent decision-making bodies in line with the Group Business Plan. A result of less than the abovementioned target cancels this quota;

and, for all Beneficiaries working as part of the Fundamental Functions:

  • I. for a quota between 25% and 50% in linear proportion to the achievement of between 80% and 100% of the average of the Individual Performance Levels achieved in the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. A result of less than 80% of the above-mentioned average cancels this quota;
  • II. for a quota equal to (a) 15%, or (b) 30% depending on the achievement, at the end of the Three-Year Accrual Period, respectively (a) of a result between the threshold objective and the target objective defined by the competent decision-making bodies in the three-year period of the Solvency Capital Requirement Business Plan7 of Unipol. The threshold level is equal to the Risk Appetite set by the decision-making bodies during the three-year period of the Business Plan; (b) a result equal to or greater than the target defined by the competent decision-making bodies in the three-year period of the Solvency Capital Requirement Business Plan of Unipol8 . A result of less than the above-mentioned target cancels this quota;
  • III. for a share of 15% depending on the achievement of Climate Strategy targets, expressed as a reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from the Unipol Group's instrumental properties, in line with climate science-based objectives, and an increase in the amount of thematic investments in support of the UN 2030 Agenda, as defined by the competent decisionmaking bodies in line with the Group Business Plan.

4. Criteria for determining the prices of the Shares servicing the 2022-2024 Plan and restrictions on unavailability

  • 4.1. The LTI Bonus is attributed by virtue of the 2022-2024 Plan, which is based on a three-year performance horizon (2022-2023-2024) and which provides for the allocation of Shares at the end of the three-year period, by March 2026 on a pro rata basis in the following three-year period, or in the subsequent five-year period for those with a Particularly High Variable Component (respectively for the 2026-2027-2028 period or 2026- 2027-2028-2029-2030).
  • 4.2. The number of shares that may be allocated is calculated by dividing the value of the LTI Bonus into two equal parts. One part is related to the average value of the Unipol Share recorded in the month of January 2022, while the other part is related to the average value of the UnipolSai Share also recorded in month of January 2022.
  • 4.3. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs 4.4 and 4.5 below, the Shares shall be allocated on the dates indicated in paragraph 4.1 above, provided that at those times the Beneficiary is actually employed by Unipol or a Unipol Group company and that he/she is not in a notice period or on leave of absence, without prejudice to specific individual treatments adopted by the Reference Company, subject to a resolution of the Board of Directors, after consulting the Remuneration Committee, where present.

The Shares will also be allocated:

I. to Beneficiaries terminating their employment with Unipol and/or with other companies of the Unipol Group, starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period, due to the accrual of the right to a retirement old-age pension or other forms of accrual of the right to a retirement

7 See Note 2.

8 See Note 2.

pension, as long as adopted on the company's initiative through recourse to legislative or contractual provisions;

  • II. to Beneficiaries terminating their employment with Unipol and/or with other companies of the Unipol Group, starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period, due to a consensual agreement with the employer, based on that set forth in the aforementioned agreement;
  • III. to Beneficiaries involved in extraordinary corporate transactions resulting in the transfer of ownership of the controlling interest of the Company of which they are employees to another party not belonging to the Unipol Group, concluded starting from 31 December of the last year of the Three-Year Accrual Period.

In the event of termination of employment or mandate due to death or permanent disability of 66% or more prior to the end of the performance measurement period, the Beneficiary (or heirs or assigns) shall be paid the STI Bonus and LTI Bonus for the year in which the termination of employment or mandate occurred, in full monetary form, together with the severance pay, on a pro-rata temporis basis.

  • 4.4. For the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager and certain Key Managers, the obligation to maintain the Shares until the end of the mandate or permanence in the role is established.
  • 4.5. For the Managers in Cluster 1 the obligation to maintain a target amount of Shares equal to 1 year of Fixed Remuneration until the end of the role is established.
  • 4.6. In any event, without prejudice to the possibility of adopting the "sell to cover" option (consisting in the sale of the securities necessary to procure the liquidity required to meet the tax obligations arising from the allocation of such securities), the Shares are subject to a Holding Period of one year, commencing from the moment when the Shares become materially available to the Beneficiary.

5. The process for the assignment, assessment and final measurement of the targets

  • 5.1. With reference to the STI Bonus, the process of assigning, assessing and finalising the objectives involves the Beneficiary's direct superior, the top manager, the Group General Manager - who is supported by the Chief Human Resources Officer - and the Chief Executive Officer.
  • 5.2. When assigning targets, the Beneficiary is made aware of the Remuneration Policies applied to him/her. By signing off for this purpose, the Beneficiary declares knowledge of the contents and acceptance of the mentioned documentation.
  • 5.3. The LTI Bonus objectives are defined and approved by the competent decision-making bodies.
  • 5.4. The Group Remuneration Policies and the remuneration policies of the sector and/or companies are in any case disclosed to all Beneficiaries through publication on the company intranet.
  • 5.5. In the final process of measurement of the short-term STI variable component, the aforesaid bodies shall also duly take into account 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.
  • 5.6. In the final measurement process, the contribution of the Chief Risk Officer, the Head of Risk Management and the Group Management Control Department is used for the ex ante and ex post verification of the quantitative indicators.
  • 5.7. The size of the STI and LTI Bonuses to be paid shall be defined at the end of all the steps prescribed by the assessment and final measurement process.
  • 5.8. In the event that the Beneficiary is affected during the year by organisational modifications also involving the change of his or her direct supervisor, it will be the responsibility of the previous supervisor to share the goals already assigned with the new Supervisor, thereby also sending all the necessary documentation. The new supervisor shall oversee the evaluation, together with the parties stated above, of the appropriateness of assigning different goals to those previously assigned, thereby repeating the process accordingly. In this case, the final measurement must occur proportionately on a "pro rata" basis according to the achievement of the previous and new goals and, in the actual measurement process, the previous supervisor will be required

to evaluate the part under his or her responsibility.

  • 5.9. In case of events that are likely to affect the elements making up the Group Remuneration Policies (including, purely by way of example, extraordinary or capital transactions involving the Parent Company, and/or the individual Consolidated Company, or the Unipol Group, mergers, changes in legislation or in the scope of the Parent Company, and/or an individual Consolidated Company or the Unipol Group), or in the event of major market discontinuity (such as, for example, the occurrence of material changes in national and/or international macroeconomic conditions or in monetary policy) or other exceptional circumstances, Unipol may temporarily deviate from the Remuneration Policies, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory constraints.
  • 5.10. The Board of Directors of Unipol, having obtained the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, having heard the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Related Party Committee, in line with the Group's Related Party Procedure, and to the extent of the competence of the corresponding bodies of the Consolidated Companies concerned, has the power to make exceptions to the Remuneration Policies deemed necessary or appropriate, in line with the objective of maintaining the overall fairness and consistency of the Remuneration Policies or for the purposes of pursuing the long-term interests and sustainability of the company as a whole or to ensure its ability to stay on the market.

6. Reasons for non-payment or reduced payment

  • 6.1. Non-payment clauses are envisaged in the following cases:
    • 6.1.1. Malus

The bonuses in the incentive system shall not be paid in the event of any deterioration in the performance of Unipol and/or the Group as defined in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3, or in the event of failure by the Beneficiary to comply with regulatory and supervisory provisions, followed by the imposition of a disciplinary sanction on the Beneficiary, as well as in the event of findings by the Key Functions showing conduct in serious breach of internal provisions, external provisions, or applicable standards of conduct, as well as if they have been determined on the basis of data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect (i.e. calculation errors in determining one or more of the vesting conditions or malicious alteration of the data used for such determination or the determination of one or more of the vesting conditions through conduct contrary to legal provisions and/or company rules and/or the Rules).

With reference to the deterioration of risk profiles, Unipol shall reduce or cancel any remuneration to be paid in the event that the above-mentioned conduct of the Beneficiary has had an impact on the Solvency II Ratio of the Group and/or Unipol. To this end, the Chief Risk Officer, in charge of Risk Management activities, with the support of the other corporate functions involved, will recalculate the Solvency II Ratio in order to verify whether such conduct may have led to the non-compliance with the targets set in terms of Risk Appetite for the Accrual Year by the relevant decision-making bodies.

6.1.2. Claw-back

Unipol will require the return of any remuneration paid if the Beneficiary has acted in breach of the relevant Supervisory Provisions or if the Beneficiary has engaged in fraudulent and/or wilful or grossly negligent conduct in connection with the performance of his or her duties, which has resulted in a deterioration of the risk profiles and/or results of the Group and/or the company itself, as well as violations of the Code of Ethics and/or conduct that does not comply with legal, regulatory or statutory provisions, on the basis of the provisions of the regulations, without prejudice to any further action, or determined on the basis of data that subsequently proved to be manifestly incorrect (i.e. calculation errors in determining one or more of the vesting conditions or malicious alteration of the data used for such determination or the determination of one or more of the vesting conditions through conduct contrary to legal provisions and/or company rules and/or the Rules).9

With reference to the deterioration of risk profiles, Unipol shall request that any remuneration that may have been paid be returned in the event that the fraudulent conduct and/or wilful misconduct or

9 The assessments regarding cases of violation of the Code of Ethics are the responsibility of the respective function.

gross negligence of the Beneficiary has had an impact on the Solvency II Ratio of the Group and/or of Unipol. To this end, the Chief Risk Officer, in charge of Risk Management activities, with the support of the other corporate functions involved, will recalculate the Solvency II Ratio in order to verify whether such conduct may have led to the non-compliance with the targets set in terms of Risk Appetite for the Accrual Year by the relevant decision-making bodies.

Unipol reserves the right to require the Beneficiary to return the Shares to which he/she is entitled, even pending the Holding Period, with the consequent definitive termination of all the Beneficiary's rights in this regard, or to require the Beneficiary - within the limits of what is possible under the applicable regulations - to return to Unipol, in whole or in part, also by offsetting any sum due to him/her for any reason, an amount equivalent to the value of the taxable amount for personal income tax purposes of the Shares already allocated, without prejudice to the right to compensation for further damage.

The duration of the period during which the clause applies is set at five years, starting from the payment of the single instalment of Variable Remuneration.

Acquisition and arrangements for treasury shares. Consequent and related 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 29 April 2021, 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 Euro 300 million.

Please note that at the date of this Report, Unipol share capital amounts to Euro 3,365,292,408.03, divided into 717,473,508 ordinary shares without nominal value; the Company holds a total of 1,979,298 treasury shares (equal to 0.276% of the share capital), of which 783,050 directly and 1,196,248 indirectly, through the following subsidiaries:

  • − UnipolSai S.p.A., for 1,068,783 shares;
  • − Compagnia Assicuratrice Linear S.p.A., for 14,743 shares;

  • − UnipolAssistance S.c.r.l., for 4,039 shares;
  • − Leithà S.r.l., for 10,728 shares.

Based on these authorisations, the Company purchased:

  • − in the course of 2021, a total of 1,250,000 treasury shares in the context of the compensation plan based on financial instruments of the performance share type for Managers of the Unipol Group companies 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 Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 ("2016-2018 Plan" and the "Consolidated Law on Finance"), as well as the compensation plan for the threeyear period 2019-2021, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 18 April 2019 (the "2019-2021 Plan");
  • − in February 2022, a total of 700,000 treasury shares in connection with the 2019- 2021 Plan.

On 28 April 2021, the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, the General Manager and the Managers of the Company were jointly allocated 1,044,081 treasury shares in implementation of and to complete the 2016-2018 Plan, as the Long Term Incentive ("LTI").

On 28 April 2021, the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, the General Manager and the Managers of the Company were jointly allocated 234,481 treasury shares in implementation of the 2019-2021 Plan, as the Short Term Incentive ("STI") for the year 2020.

Lastly, on 15 December 2021, the Chief Executive Officer and Group CEO, the General Manager and the Managers of the Company classified as Significant Risk Takers were jointly allocated 268,213 treasury shares in implementation of the 2019-2021 Plan, as the STI for the year 2019. A similar assignment, insofar as applicable, was carried out in 2020 with respect to individual Executives not classified as Significant Risk Takers.

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

Justifications and objectives

The authorisation for the purchase 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:

  • i) to use the treasury shares for their allocation for the purposes of the compensation plan based on financial instruments, pursuant to Art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance;
  • ii) to intervene, directly or through intermediaries, to promote the smooth conduct of trading, against distortions due to an excessive volatility or insufficient market liquidity;
  • iii) to take the investment opportunity 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;
  • iv) to use treasury shares for the efficient use of the liquidity generated by the core activity of the Company;
  • v) to provide an additional method for remunerating Shareholders above and beyond the distribution of dividends;
  • vi) 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 proposal for authorisation to purchase treasury shares is not, at present, directed at reductions of the share capital of the Company through the cancellation of treasury shares purchased.

Number of shares that may be purchased and procedures for executing the purchases and sales

We propose that:

  • (i) the purchase 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 purchase and sales, until the expiry of the term of the authorisation; In particular, the shares purchased in the context of the 2019-2021 Plan may be assigned and attributed in the manner and within the terms stated in the regulations of the Plan;

It is proposed that the maximum expenditure limit of Euro 300 million for the purchase of treasury shares be left unchanged, 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 purchases and sale of treasury shares

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

Exemption from the obligation to promote a full public purchase offer, pursuant to Art. 44-bis, paragraph 2 of the Issuers' Regulation.

On the basis of the information available at the date of this Report, please note that:

− the following Shareholders hold, directly, indirectly, through a third party or a trust company, equity investments exceeding 3% of the share capital with voting right:

  • − several Shareholders asked to be included on the Special List to become eligible for the benefit of increased voting rights, in compliance with the provisions of Art. 6 of the By-Laws. The list of Shareholders with an equity investment exceeding 3% of the share capital of Unipol that have asked to be included on the abovementioned Special List, with an indication of the relative registration date, may be consulted on the website www.unipol.it, Investors/Shareholding Structure/Increased voting rights Section;
  • − a material Shareholders' Agreement pursuant to Art. 122 of the TUF (the "Agreement") is in force between several Shareholders, which was originally set to expire on 15 December 2020 and was tacitly renewed, with no amendments, for an additional period of three years, classified as a voting and blocking syndicate on the Unipol shares involved, representing 30.053% of the share capital with voting rights. An extract of the Agreement and the essential information relating to it can be consulted on the website www.unipol.it, Investors/Shareholders/Shareholders' Agreement section.

Please also note that, pursuant to Art. 44-bis, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Issuers' Regulation:

  • 1) "the treasury shares held by the issuer, even indirectly, are excluded from the share capital on which the material equity investment is calculated for the purposes of Art. 106, paragraphs 1, 1-bis, 1-ter and 3, letter b), of the Consolidated Law"
  • 2) "Paragraph 1 does not apply when the surpassing of the thresholds laid out in Art. 106, paragraphs 1, 1-bis, 1-ter and 3, letter b) of the Consolidated Law results from purchases of treasury shares carried out even indirectly by the issuer in execution of a resolution which, without prejudice to the provisions of Arts. 2368 and 2369 of the Italian Civil Code, has been approved also with the favourable vote of the majority of the issuer's shareholders, present at the shareholders'

meeting, other than the shareholder or shareholders that hold, including jointly, the majority equity investment, also relative, provided it is higher than 10 percent" ("whitewash).

If there is no exemption deriving from passing the authorisation resolution with the majorities laid out in Art. 44-bis, paragraph 2, of the Issuers' Regulations, the purchase of treasury shares carried out either directly or indirectly by Unipol - also taking into account any purchases of shares of the Company or the accrual of the increased voting right by a Shareholder or multiple Shareholders which act in concert - could result in an increase in the equity investment in Unipol held by such Shareholders beyond the thresholds relevant for the purposes of the obligation to promote a full public purchase offer pursuant to Art. 106, paragraphs 1, 1-bis, and 3, letter b), of the TUF (the "Public Purchase Offer").

On the other hand, when the whitewash regime applies, the treasury shares purchased, even indirectly, by the Company on the basis of the authorisation issued by the Shareholders' Meeting shall not be excluded from the number of shares representing the share capital of Unipol on which the relevant equity investment is calculated for the purposes of the Public Purchase Offer.

Therefore, please recall that the approval of the proposal in question by the Shareholders' Meeting, with the majorities pursuant to Art. 44-bis, paragraph 2 of the Issuers' Regulation (and, therefore, with the favourable vote of the majority of the Shareholders present in the Shareholders' Meeting other than the Shareholder or Shareholders that hold, also jointly, the relative majority equity investment of Unipol) shall provide exemption from the obligation to promote the Public Purchase Offer on the part of the Shareholder or Shareholders which due to the purchases of treasury shares by the Company based on the authorisation pursuant to this proposal, may surpass the relevant thresholds that would otherwise trigger such obligation.

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

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NO. 7

Update of the shareholders' meeting rules. Consequent and related resolutions

Dear Shareholders,

It should preliminarily be recalled that the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Unipol Gruppo S.p.A. ("Unipol" or the "Company"), on 28 April 2016, most recently approved the text of the regulation directed at defining, inter alia, the procedures for the formation and conduct of Shareholders' Meetings of the Company, as well as for participation in them, also with reference to the rules for the discussion of the agenda items and the votes thereon (the "Shareholders' Meetings Regulation").

This being stated, we submit for your approval the proposed update of the Shareholders' Meetings Regulation.

This proposal aims to:

(i) first and foremost, adapt the Shareholders' Meetings Regulation to the regulatory amendments made with reference to the terms for the submission of questions on the agenda items posed prior to the Shareholders' Meeting1 ,

and taking advantage of this opportunity, also with a view to returning to in-person meetings,

(ii) facilitate the most extensive participation and discussion of Shareholders in the shareholders' meeting, by appropriately revising in this regard the terms and methods for participation and discussion of the items on the agenda as well as the provisions aiming to guarantee the regular and orderly conduct of the shareholders' meeting.

The text has also been subject to an overall revision, introducing merely formal and stylistic changes, therefore without impacting the substance of the Regulation's content.

In order to make it easier for the changes to be identified, for each provision of the Shareholders' Meetings Regulation that is subject to an amendment proposal, below the current text is reported in the column on the left and the new proposed text in the column

1 Ref. Art. 127-ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998:

&quot;(Right to pose questions prior to the shareholders' meeting)

1. Anyone entitled to vote may pose questions on the items on the agenda, also in advance of the shareholders' meeting. Responses to questions received before the shareholders' meeting are given during the meeting at the latest. The company may provide a single response to questions with the same content.

1-bis. The notice of the meeting indicates the period within which any questions raised before the meeting should be received by the company. The period may not expire before five trading days prior to the date of the shareholders' meeting on first or single call, or the date specified in Art. 83-sexies, paragraph 2 [record date], if the notice of the meeting states that the company should, prior to the shareholders' meeting, provide a response to the questions received. In this last case, the responses are provided at least two days prior to the shareholders' meeting, including by publication in a dedicated section of the company's website, and entitlement to the voting right may also be certified subsequent to when the questions are sent, provided by the third day subsequent to the date specified in Art. 83-sexies, paragraph 2."

in the right. In particular, with reference to the new text, the following steps have been taken:

  • a) the words whose deletion is being proposed are highlighted with crossed out characters; and
  • b) the words whose insertion is being proposed are highlighted in bold.

14.2. If anything happens to prevent discussion, the Chairman may suspend the meeting for a short time.

Article 16

16.1. Before proceeding to the vote the Chairman allows those excluded under Article 14 to return to the Meeting.

16.2. The provisions of Article 13 and Article 14 of this Regulation may also be adopted at the voting stage if necessary.

Article 17

17.1 The Chairman ensures that voting takes place in an orderly manner and puts items to the vote once they have been discussed individually or after all the items have been dealt with.

17.2 When several resolutions in respect of the same topic are proposed, the Chairman may, if deemed appropriate, submit them to a vote as an alternative to each other, establishing the order thereof. In this case, those who have voted in favour of one of the resolutions may not also vote for the other. The resolution that has received the majority required by law and by the by-laws will be the one approved. Should it occur that one of the resolutions reaches such a majority during the voting procedures, it will not be necessary to vote on further resolutions.

Article 18

Ensuring that voting is carried out openly, the Chairman decides on the voting system, for example:

  • − by signing a voting slip;
  • − by a show of hands;
  • − by using appropriate electronic equipment,

and decides on the system of recording and counting votes, if appropriate setting a deadline by which votes must be cast.
