LETTER OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REMUNERATION AND APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholder,

As Chairman of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, I present to you, also on behalf of the Board of Directors, the 2024 Report of Webuild S.p.A. on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid.

The objective of the document is to increase awareness of the Company's and the Group's remuneration policies, highlighting their consistency with business strategies, with a view to maximum transparency of the related systems adopted by the Company, also in a perspective of alignment with the Shareholders' interest.

Webuild is a leader in the sector of infrastructure and public works in Italy and abroad

The year recently ended was characterized by excellent results; indeed it saw revenues increase by 22%, with EBITDA over 43% compared to the previous year, and a positive financial position equal to €1.4 billion.

The 2023 was also marked by important confirmations, such as a record amount of new orders totalling €22.4 billion, thanks to the plans of investment in sustainable infrastructures launched by the various countries the Group operates in, of which over 95% in key and low-risk geographical areas, such as Italy, Central and Northern Europe, Australia and North America, which have strengthened Webuild's ability to be a market leader. This is in line with the objectives and strategies set in the multi-year business plan focusing on the principles of profitable and sustainable growth, innovation, and transformation, operational excellence and human capital development.

Moreover, at the beginning of last year, Webuild finalised for the purchasing of some assets of the Clough Group, a historic Australian company based in Perth, specialised in engineering, construction and maintenance services, a pioneer in the engineering sector, committed to projects linked to a sustainable future. This transaction further promoted the growth of the Group towards sustainable mobility.

As regards the ESG results, in 2023 the Webuild Group fully achieved the objectives set in its first ESG Plan relating to the three-year period 2021- 2023, focused on three "pillars": Green builders, Safe & inclusive builders, Innovative & smart builders, contributing to the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Furthermore, Webuild has already defined a new ESG Plan with the aim of continuing its commitment with greater ambition and responding to the growing needs of stakeholders and global challenges in an increasingly tangible way.

Finally, we recall:

  • the fundamental contribution provided to promote the development of the Italian economic system through the award of strategic projects in the infrastructure sector, such as: Palermo-Catania high-speed railway line, the Salerno-Reggio Calabria high-speed railway line and the completion of fundamental works for the country such as the Isarco River Undercrossing Tunnel, part of the Brenner Base Tunnel, the new Eni Headquarters in San Donato Milanese;
  • the confirmation of the Group in the MIB® ESG Index of the Italian Stock Exchange;
  • the positioning of Webuild among the top players in the sector in the evaluations of ESG ratings issued by leading independent organizations such as MSCI (AA), CDP Climate Change (A-), ISS-ESG (B- Prime level) and Moody's ESG- ex Vigeo Eiris (Advanced level);
  • the important need for human resources for the Group's construction sites (around 12 ,000 hires in 2023) and some significant initiatives, including: (i) the new training and work program called "Cantiere Lavoro Italia", dedicated to young people and unemployed, to attract and train new resources, raising the standard of basic and professional skills in the construction world; (ii) the training program,

called 'Build Up', which aims to put 1,000 young people from Higher Technical Institutes across Italy in contact with our Group, to offer them job opportunities on our construction sites, once they graduate ..

Remuneration governance

The Remuneration and Appointment Committee, in consistency with what was already discussed and developed last year, worked on guaranteeing the continuity of the remuneration policies, except for the inclusion of certain limited additions, in order to promote an architecture of the remuneration schemes that is flexible and consistent with the Group's strategy and constantly in line with current regulations and best market practices.

Even for 2024, the Remuneration Policy aims to confirm its role as a reference framework for the implementation of remuneration practices throughout the Group. The cornerstone principles of the Policy are Transparency, Sustainability, Meritocracy, Competitiveness, Proportionality and Fairness.

The remuneration policies outlined below have a three-year duration in order to build stability and solidity into the overall framework up to 2025.

Within this scenario, certain improvements have been made aimed at further diversifying and graduating the bonus opportunities attributable to Key Management Personnel, in any case within the target bonus framework already in place.

Variable remuneration systems

As in previous years, the framework of the shortand long-term variable remuneration systems, essential elements in the contractual structures of the Management, was confirmed as an approach capable of delivering performance sustainability, in view of both individual and Group trends.

With reference to the 2020-2022 LTI Plan, whose three-year performance period ended in 2022, the Company during 2023 appropriately assessed on the basis of management reasons, meritocracy and reward effectiveness, given the strong outperformance of the plan's targets – also in view of the socio-economic context of the three years performance period – to modify the Bonus payout regulations in terms of time horizon and allocation methods, offering individual Beneficiaries, following the favourable vote expressed by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 27th 2023, the right to bring forward, on a voluntary basis, the payout of the entire bonus to 2023, exclusively in cash, including the part originally attributable to shares.

Regarding the incentive systems for the three years 2023-2025:

  • the short-term incentive (STI) system includes, in addition to economic-financial indicators and company objectives, consistent with the market guidance published from time to time, also Management Objectives, in order to focus the Management's efforts on achieving the targets that, as a whole, to represent the entire life cycle of the Group, and to cover the entire business and its everyday life, going beyond the responsibilities related to the role and enhancing the respective performance in the interest of the Group and its sustainability;
  • the 2023-2025 LTI Plan was designed to accompany the achievement of the objectives of the 2023-2025 Business Plan, ensuring both a further strengthening of the alignment between the interests of Shareholders with those of Management for the achievement of the Group's strategic objectives, and an effective reward and merit-based recognition mechanism also aimed at promoting the retention of key resources.

Dear Shareholders,

I would like to thank my colleagues, Barbara Marinali and Laura Zanetti, for their fruitful collaboration and the excellent work carried out during his three years in office, and on behalf of the entire Committee, I trust in the support you will give to the remuneration policy proposed in this Report, which emphasises the continuity of principles and values in the policy approved at the last Shareholders' Meeting.

Best regards,

Ferdinando Parente Chairman of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2023-2025 REMUNERATION POLICY

At the meeting of 27 April 2023, the Shareholders' Meeting of Webuild approved the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy (the "Policy"). Now, in continuity with what has been defined for the current three-year period, the Company intends to supplement the Policy, in order to best meet the specific requirements and complexities of the reference sector, new and important challenges, in terms of development and integration, also resulting from the Group's expansion in the market and due to a positioning characterised by a high degree of geographical and socio-cultural differentiation.

Without prejudice to the overall structure of the three-year Policy, this document introduces – among others - some limited impact changes on the KMP's target bonus, as illustrated in detail below.

It should be noted that the new cycle of Webuild's 2023-2025 Long Term Incentive Plan was approved last year, in line with the Business Plan's strategic policies identified for the current three-year period.

The Report provides with clarity and in a usable manner all the necessary remuneration-related and regulatory information in accordance with the provisions of the Shareholder Rights Directive II1 .

The Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023 cast a binding vote on Section I of the 2023 Remuneration Report and an advisory vote on Section II relating to the compensation paid.

Figure 1 – Outcomes of voting at Shareholders' Meeting

The outcome of the vote expressed by the Shareholders was analysed in order to identify potential areas for development.

In continuity with last year, the Executive Summary section was retained, in order to promote the usability of information:

  • clearly and transparently informing stakeholders of the main issue and rationale of the Group Remuneration Policy;
  • ensuring greater accessibility to relevant information through graphic simplifications;
  • directly presenting key information, including the correlation between performance indicators, company results and the operating mechanisms of the remuneration policy.

The main measures introduced in 2023 at the time of definition of the 2023-2025 three-year remuneration Policy, which are therefore in force in the current year, are briefly noted:

  • the new LTI system aligned with the 2023-2025 Business Plan, with the same time horizon, and paid out in cash at the end of the vesting period ("Vesting Period");
  • the use of specific performance curves underlying economic and financial objectives in order to strengthen the link between the Business Plan's objectives, as well as the guidance provided to the market from time to time and the remuneration payouts;
  • a more in-depth ex-post disclosure of the pay for performance, through the inclusion of metrics relating to the performance achieved on each objective.

In addition to these elements, there are limited changes introduced this year with reference to:

  • Key Management Personnel's Target Bonuses are added to these elements to differentiate them more clearly in consideration of the role's organisational relevance and appointment seniority, within a minimum and maximum range consistent with the current applicable target bonuses;
  • the inclusion of the EBITDA instead of the EBITDA Margin, among the cost-effectivefinancial and operating indicators of the Group for the purposes of the short-term incentive system (STI), in line with the market guidance communicated;
  • the foreseeing of a cap to the eventual severance in case of early termination of the organic and/or work relationship with the Chief Executive Officer.

1 Directive (EU) 2017/828 - Shareholder Rights Directive II (SHRD II)

THE PRINCIPLES OF OUR POLICY

The Webuild Remuneration Policy is defined in line with the corporate governance model adopted by the Company and with the recommendations of the Code of Corporate Governance as well as with the most recent regulatory developments on the matter and takes into account the purposes of attracting and retaining Management in a Group with a marked international presence and strong competition in the sector to which it belongs, particularly in key markets with high turnover indicators, confirming a highly competitive environment.

REGULATIONS AND REMUNERATION DISCLOSURE

Directive (EU) 2017/828 (Shareholder Rights Directive II) on the encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement introduced, inter alia, rules aimed at improving disclosure and greater procedural transparency with reference to the remuneration of the directors of listed companies.

This Report applies the new disclosure formats in observance of the national regulation in acknowledgement of the Shareholder Rights Directive II, i.e. Article 123-ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (TUF) as recently amended by Italian Legislative Decree No. 49/2019 and CONSOB Resolution No. 21623 of 10 December 2020, which amended CONSOB's Issuers' Regulations.

In particular, in view of the above: (i) Section I of this Report includes information on the remuneration policy of control bodies as well as detailed information concerning the criteria used to measure the performance objectives and information regarding the indemnities for termination of employment or office; (ii) Section II indicates the performance objectives achieved in contrast to those assigned, any exceptions to the policy in the presence of exceptional circumstances, as well as the comparison between the annual change in the compensation of Directors, General Managers, Statutory Auditors, the Company's results and the remuneration of Employees.

LINK BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY

Variable remuneration, both short and long-term (STI and LTI), provides for a direct and verifiable link between the performance targets set, the results achieved and

the remuneration paid and reflects the sustainable results and the creation of value for Shareholders in the medium/long-term.

In fact, the variable component of remuneration provides for predetermined, measurable performance objectives and tied to the Company's strategic targets over the medium/long-term, calculated primarily through economic-financial indicators, but also through non-financial parameters. The approach adopted, in line with the best practices, requires the incentive systems to be correlated with a broad concept of performance, consistent with the Group's strategy and key objectives.

The Group makes a concrete contribution to sustainable development predominantly through the construction of infrastructures that help attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and the fight against climate change, providing its customers with innovative solutions for sustainable mobility, the production of renewable hydroelectric energy, water management and the construction of green buildings. Therefore, in order to achieve the sustainable development goals, the Group completed a three-year 2021-2023 ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) Plan, based on the following objectives:

Full integration of ESG indicators in governance, reporting and engagement of stakeholders systems reinforce the strategy ensuring constant monitoring.

Accordingly, a portion of the annual incentive for Operations area managers (where possible) and a portion of the multi-year incentive for all Group Management is tied to the achievement of an ESG objective. The ESG objective is measured in relation to internal indicators on improvement of the safety and inclusion indices on the entire production chain as well as – for the long-term incentive only – reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Already in 2021, Webuild was formally recognised as a sustainability leader and included in the "MIB® ESG Index", the new ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) sustainability index dedicated to Italian blue-chip companies, launched by Euronext in collaboration with Vigeo Eiris (Moody's ESG Solutions). Specifically, the index selects Italy's top 40 listed companies based on their concrete commitment in terms of environmental, social and governance sustainability, combining the measurement of economic performance with the related ESG impacts, in line with the principles of United Nations Global Compact.

The recognition received confirms the value of the strategic choices made by Webuild, which has continued, over time, to invest in production processes focused on achieving sustainability objectives.

Furthermore, again since 2021, the Performance Management system, initially "launched" on part of the company population to further strengthen the link between performance and sustainability, was extended to the other Italian companies of the Group as well as to the top management roles engaged in the context of all Italian orders and projects and is also being progressively implemented abroad. The system allows more precisely, also through a cascading mechanism of the objectives assigned to the Top Management, objectives to be assigned to the Group's resources, also enhancing their leadership skills. In this way, the entities characterised by a constant performance over time who join Webuild's talent pool will also be identified, by participating in specific professional and managerial growth courses, thus providing input to succession planning. Overall performance is also a prerequisite for access to the annual salary review interventions and as an evaluation factor for the possible allocation of variable remuneration instruments to the non-managerial workforce.

THE REMUNERATION POLICY IN SHORT

FIXED REMUNERATION COMPONENT

The fixed remuneration component values the skills and experience and compensates management consistent with the features of the role and the related

Objective Remunerate the role based on responsibilities held, with the aim of attraction and retention

responsibilities. The Company monitors the fixed remuneration with respect to the external market to ensure an adequate level of competitiveness, hence ensuring the objectives of attraction and retention of qualified and competent managers. It is determined, consistently with the Code of Corporate Governance, to the extent to ensure that the levels of remuneration are also adequate in the case in which the variable component should not be paid.

In particular, the fixed component of the Chief Executive Officer was determined also by considering that the Chief Executive Officer is the

sole Executive Director of the Company and that he/she does not receive further emoluments for the offices assumed within the Group (with particular regard, for example, to the positions of Chairman of Lane Industries Inc. and of Chairman and CEO of Webuild US Holdings).

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE AND PAY MIX

The Group's incentive systems are based on direct correlation between performances and incentives: based on the level of attainment of the objectives, a

performance curve is defined to which a payout curve corresponds, which makes provision, in any case, for a maximum overperformance limit (cap).

The balancing of the various remuneration components is defined on the basis of the position held and, with particular reference to other Key Management Personnel, the assignment of the bonus opportunity can vary within a predefined range; depending on the degree of overall achievement of objectives, a pay mix is determined, as detailed below:

REPORT ON THE POLICY FOR REMUNERATION AND COMPENSATION PAID

This Report on the Policy for Remuneration and Compensation Paid was drafted in accordance with Article 123 ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (TUF, Consolidated Finance Act), in compliance with Article 84 quater of the Issuers' Regulation and the Code of Corporate Governance of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. as well as the provisions contained in CONSOB resolution No. 21624 of 10 December 2020 (Amendments to the regulation containing provisions on related party transactions and the regulation containing the implementing rules of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, governing markets, and subsequent amendments) regarding the transparency of the remuneration of Directors of listed companies. This Report also takes into account the 2023 Report ("11th report on the implementation of the Code of Corporate Governance") by the Corporate Governance Committee, with particular regard to the recommendations contained therein, and the letter of 14 December 2023 sent by the Chairperson Massimo Tononi to the Chairpersons of the Administration Bodies, Chief Executive Officers and the Chairpersons of the control bodies of Italian listed companies as well as the national and international best practices found in drafting this remuneration report, in order to make the content as clear and usable as possible.

The Report, approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2024, upon proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, consists of two sections.

Section I, subject to the binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-ter of the TUF, illustrates Webuild's 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy, as slightly supplemented in 2024: (a) of the members of the Board of Directors, divided into the Directors with specific duties (including Executive Directors) and Non-Executive Directors; (b) of the General Managers; (c) of Key Management Personnel (specifically, the KMP referenced in Section 4.6 below); (d) of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code.

The Remuneration Policy shown in the Report has a three-year duration for the years 2023-2024-2025.

This document includes some additions which, while confirming the overall structure of remuneration, make it possible to better define certain aspects in line with the reference market, with a view to continuous improvement of the relationship between the Company and all stakeholders, shareholders, management and employees of the Group.

In particular, the changes made to the Policy refer to:

  • greater differentiation of the target bonuses attributable to the KMP, based on the significance of the activity content with respect to the business, the organisational relevance of the role, as well as seniority, through the forecasting of a target bonus range consistent with the minimum and maximum values already envisaged;
  • the inclusion of the EBITDA in place of the EBITDA Margin, among the cost-effective-financial and operating indicators of the Group for the purposes of the short-term incentive system (STI), in line with the market guidance communicated;
  • the foreseeing of a cap to the eventual severance in case of early termination of the organic and/or work relationship with the Chief Executive Officer.

Section II, subject instead to an annual advisory, non-binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 6 of the Consolidated Finance Act (TUF), shows the individual items that make up the remuneration paid by the Company to the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as to General Managers and, in aggregate form, to KMP, detailed for 2023, for any reason and in any form, including any benefits envisaged for redundancies and/or termination of the employment relations, with explanations of the consistency with the Remuneration Policy approved by the Company for the relevant financial year.

In addition, Section II details (i) the performance objectives reached in comparison with previous ones, (ii) the comparison between the annual change in remuneration, the Company's results and the remuneration of employees as well as (iii) any applications of exceptions to the Remuneration Policy in exceptional circumstances and the application of variable compensation adjustment mechanisms.

Remuneration Report

Lastly, the Report shows:

  • a) pursuant to paragraph 4 of Article 84-quater and Annex 3, Scheme 7-ter, of the Issuers' Regulation, the Tables containing data on the equity investments held by members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as by General Managers and KMP in the Company or in companies controlled by the latter;
  • b) a glossary with the main definitions.

The Remuneration Report is made available to the public, in accordance with the deadlines set by law, at the Company's Registered Office and on its website in the Governance/Remuneration and Governance/Shareholders' Meeting sections, so that it can be reviewed prior to the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2023 Financial Statements.

With regard to the tasks and activities of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee concerning appointments, see Chapters 7.2. of the 2023 Report on the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure (the 2023 Governance Report), published on the Company's website in the Governance/Governance System/Corporate Governance Report section.

SECTION I: THE 2023-2025 REMUNERATION POLICY

The 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy, as slightly modified by this document, based on best market practices and international benchmarks and in compliance with the fundamental principles of fairness, proportionality, competitiveness, meritocracy, sustainability and transparency, aims primarily to:

a) pursue the Company's long-term sustainable success;

  • b) attract, motivate and retain within the Group strategic personnel with the technical and professional skills required to efficiently pursue Webuild's targets, with regard to the current and the future size and complexity of the Company, as well as its marked international presence and strong competition in the sector to which it belongs, specifically in the Group's key markets that yield high turnover indicators, confirming a highly competitive environment;
  • c) align the Management's interests with those of shareholders and stakeholders over the medium/long term, thereby promoting the Company's long-term sustainability.

Moreover, the Remuneration Policy represents a fundamental tool to promote loyalty, strengthen and make the managerial team more cohesive with respect to business strategies, so that they are highly motivated to pursue objectives and ready to accept new challenges and opportunities, in order to achieve a further improvement of the Company's competitive positioning (Principle XV – Code of CG).

Therefore, the Remuneration Policy must be defined and interpreted based on the unique phase that distinguishes the Company's business and the specific market in which it operates. In this scenario, Webuild is currently engaged in designing and implementing a medium- and long-term business plan, which will not only develop the activities that the Group currently pursues through its organisation, but also improve the sector's solidity, its quality and efficiency, safeguarding its skills, its investment capacity, all through strengthening the Group as a global player that is as solid in the domestic market (in favour of the Italian system, also in terms of supporting GDP and protecting jobs) as it is competitive internationally.

Therefore, the Policy reflects the desire to envisage, including in terms of alignment with market practices and the most recent regulatory changes, Management, as a success lever for the Company and its strategies, to benefit from the creation of value for the Company. This is achieved through the confirmation of incentive and retention mechanisms established specifically in accordance with the objectives of the 2023-2025 Business Plan which is aligned with the guidance provided to the market from time to time and the aforementioned key system-wide targets.

Thus, the remuneration structure is based on various components and consists of a remuneration package in which a fixed portion of the remuneration and a significant variable part coexist harmoniously. Leveraging these interrelated components, a remuneration offer was developed that is consistent with the complexity of roles and performance levels (corporate and individual).

The Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on 16 March 2023, upon proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee (RAC), and subject to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023, pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraphs 3-ter and 6 of the Consolidated Finance Act. The additions made in 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2024, on the proposal of the RAC, and will be submitted to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of 24 April 2024.

The following paragraphs show the process adopted by the Company to define and approve the Remuneration Policy, bodies and subjects involved, as well as its goals and key principles.

In accordance with the provisions of current legislation, the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023 cast a binding vote on Section I of the 2023 Remuneration Report and an advisory vote on Section II relating to the compensation paid. The percentage of votes in favour of Section I and Section II was 90% of the total number of votes in both cases.

The main measures introduced in 2023 at the time of definition of the 2023-2025 three-year remuneration Policy, which are therefore in force in the current year, are briefly noted:

  • the LTI system aligned with the 2023-2025 Business Plan, with the same time horizon, and paid out in cash at the end of the Vesting Period;
  • the use of specific performance curves underlying economic and financial objectives in order to strengthen the link between the Business Plan's objectives, as well as the guidance provided to the market from time to time and the remuneration payouts;
  • a more in-depth ex-post disclosure of the pay for performance, through the inclusion of metrics relating to the performance achieved on each objective.

Having said that, the additions to the Policy, submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting of 24 April 2024, relate to (i) a greater differentiation of the target bonuses attributable by the CEO to each Key Manager, depending on the significance of the activity content with respect to the business, the role organisational relevance, as well as its seniority, within the limit of the targets already envisaged and without prejudice to the equivalence between the target bonus of the short-term component and that of the long-term component, (ii) the inclusion of the EBITDA instead of the EBITDA Margin, among the cost-effective-financial and operating indicators of the Group for the purposes of the short-term incentive system (STI), in line with the market guidance communicated and (iii) the foreseeing of a cap to the eventual severance in case of early termination of the organic and/or work relationship with the Chief Executive Officer.

1. GOVERNANCE OF THE REMUNERATION PROCESS

In line with the provisions of the Code of CG and current legislation, the Company defined a governance model designed to deliver transparency, consistency at Group level and adequate control in relation to the remuneration policy and its implementation (Principle XVII - Code of CG). Webuild's Remuneration Policy is the result of a transparent and structured process which, in line with the regulatory guidelines and recommendations of the Code of CG, sees the active involvement of the corporate bodies and company functions listed hereunder: Shareholders' Meeting, Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Auditors, Remuneration and Appointment Committee and Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the CEO (Principle XVI – Code of CG).

The responsibilities of the bodies of Webuild with regard to remuneration are detailed below.

The process of approval of the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy

The 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy, as well as the amendments made in 2024, was defined with the contribution of the aforementioned bodies and in compliance with their respective responsibilities. In particular, for the purposes of preparing the limited additions to this document, the RAC met on 5 March 2024 and 12 March 2024, the date of approval of this Remuneration Report.

The main preliminary activities carried out by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee in 2023 (after the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023) 6 and until today, for the purposes of defining this Policy, were, in particular, the following:

  • defining the economic and financial targets of the 2023 STI and of the 2023-2025 LTI economic, financial and sustainability targets;
  • final balance of the results of the 2023 STI Plan;

  • defining of the economic and financial targets of the 2024 STI;

  • defining the proposal for integration of the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy referred to in Section I of this Report;
  • preparing the Report on Compensation Paid in 2023, referred to in Section II of this Report.

The Guidelines, the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy and this Report were first approved by the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the RAC, in the meeting held on 16 March 2023 and then by the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023.The additions made in 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2024, on the proposal of the RAC, and will be submitted to the vote of the Shareholders' Meeting of 24 April 2024.

6 For the activities carried out in 2023 before that date, please refer to the 2023 Report on the Policy for Remuneration and Compensation Paid approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023 and available at the following link.

The Committee, in carrying out its functions, had the chance to access the information and the corporate departments needed to execute its tasks (Recommendation 17 of the Code of CG). For the purpose of defining the 2023-2025 Policy, the RAC also made use, to support its activities, of external consultants, after verifying that these parties meet the necessary independence requirements.

The entire Board of Statutory Auditors as well as the Chief Executive Officer participated in the RAC meetings held to define the 2023-2025 Policy, in relation to the remuneration proposals relating to the GMs and the KMP.

The Manager in charge of financial reporting, with particular regard to the definition of economic and financial objectives, and the Chief HR Organisation and Systems Officer were also invited to attend the Committee meetings. No Director took part in the RAC Meetings convened to make proposals to the Board of Directors about his/her remuneration (Recommendation 26 of the Code of CG).

The implementation of the 2023-2025 Policy, defined in line with the guidelines of the Board of Directors, was assigned to the bodies especially designated for the purpose, with the support of the competent corporate departments.

2. GENERAL PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES OF THE 2023-2025 REMUNERATION POLICY

2.1 Purposes of the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy is aimed at attracting and motivating qualified professional resources for pursuing Company and Group objectives, as well as incentivising retention of these resources and, therefore, the stability of their professional relationship with the Company (Principle XV – Code of CG).

With a view to sustainable value creation for the Company, the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy also has the objective of aligning management interests as much as possible with medium/long-term interests of shareholders and stakeholders, through a performance assessment process that takes place not only on a yearly basis, but also over a longer time frame and which considers the economic-financial, qualitative and sustainability results.

Specifically, the 2023-2025 Remuneration Policy, in keeping with the provisions framed in previous years, responds to the need for considering, apart from the sector's unique aspects and complexity, also new and important development and integration challenges arising from the Group's expansion on the market, and activities whose oversight requires the ability to manage complex integrated business processes aimed at developing large infrastructure works that require highly specialised know-how within a scenario of marked geographical and social-cultural differences.

In this scenario, the Company considers, when regulating the remuneration of the Top Management who contribute significantly to the company performances, the remuneration policies to be an important tool to support the implementation of the corporate strategy, the pursuit of long-term interests and its sustainability over time.

2.2. Market Practices and Peer Groups

The Company monitors the main market practices in terms of remuneration levels, pay mix and overall structure of the Group remuneration and incentive policy, through remuneration comparison activities, in order to verify the competitiveness of the remunerative offer with a view to attracting and retaining qualified and competent managers.

Given the reference context in which the Webuild Group is located in terms of competitiveness of the labour market, of progressive expansion also in geographies with heterogeneous remuneration practices compared to the local market, especially in view of recent additions, as well as for the dynamism and speed of a change in the macroeconomic scenario, a specifically named peer group is not used. In the Italian construction market, in fact, there are no listed companies comparable by sector and, among those present in the past, the main corporate entities have been progressively absorbed by the current Webuild, while the remaining unlisted construction companies have a size and complexity much less than those of Webuild, which means they are not comparable.

In addition, it must be considered that the Company's Remuneration Policy in the last decade, except for some changes made over time, has maintained substantial continuity and this has made it possible in operational terms to keep the Top Management motivated and highly focused on achieving the Group's strategic and valuegrowth objectives. The above has demonstrated the intrinsic validity of the remuneration framework and the incentive power of simple and transparent systems.

In particular, with reference to the General Managers and KMP, as well as the remaining managerial workforce, the Company relies on the support of leading consultancy companies that provide remuneration benchmarks based on the weighting of the position and referring to a panel of 60 companies operating in the European industrial sector (Top EU). This peer group equates positions belonging to companies with similar businesses or with industrial, geographical and organisational complexity that is as comparable as possible.

Furthermore, in order to determine the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as well as the preparation of the update of the Remuneration Policy, with a view to continuously improving the usability and transparency of information, Webuild monitors the main market practices.

2.3. Remuneration Policy principles

The Webuild Remuneration Policy is defined on the basis of the principles of fairness, proportionality, competitiveness, meritocracy, sustainability and transparency, as outlined below:

  • fairness in terms of rewarding the knowledge and professional skills of individuals as well as recognising the roles and responsibilities assigned, the results achieved, and the quality of the professional contribution rendered;
  • proportionality in terms of consistency and correspondence of the remuneration with the position held, the complexity of the tasks assigned and the related responsibilities, as well as the skills and abilities demonstrated, without prejudice to compliance with national collective agreements in force, where applicable. Specifically, as regards:
    • the Chief Executive Officer, General Managers and Key Management Personnel appointed at a given time, whose remuneration structure is appropriately balanced between (i) a fixed component, consistent with the powers and/or responsibilities assigned and (ii) a variable component defined within the maximum limits and aimed at linking remuneration to actual performance, with greater weighting given to the long-term variable component, in line with the long-term cycles of the Company's business;
    • Non-Executive Directors, for whom remuneration is commensurate with the efforts required of them in relation to their participation in the Board committees that they are members of, with appropriate differentiation between the remuneration envisaged for the Chairperson, considering his/her role of coordinator and liaison with Corporate Bodies and Departments;

structures responsible for analysing and certifying the fairness and consistency of the data

competitiveness in terms of the need, for the Company, to adopt and maintain an adequate and ambitious attraction and retention policy, given the Company's presence in markets with high turnover, strong competitiveness, and with challenging remuneration systems, as well as the difficulty in recruiting resources in the specific construction sector in the various continents where the Company operates (see Section 2.2 Market Practices and Peer Groups); meritocracy meritocracy, in terms of consistent valuation of results obtained based on actions put in place for their achievement, (which must be oriented towards constant compliance with existing regulations and procedures), with performance objectives defined based on the assumptions and general conditions known at the moment of said definition and with the elimination of external and unforeseeable factors that do not fall under the manager's control when assessing and finalising performance targets, in order to guarantee comparability of results and the valuation of the actual company performance linked to managerial activity; sustainability in terms of consistency of overall remuneration payments made with the primary need of maintaining the Company's economic-financial balance over time; transparency in terms of: - recognition of the incentives linked to variable remuneration following a scrupulous process of verification of the results achieved, carried out also through the assistance of

and methods used to calculate the above-mentioned incentives;

-the provision of claw-back clauses which allow the Company to reclaim – or in the context of malus clauses, not to disburse – in whole or in part, variable components of remuneration that were awarded to individuals who, whether intentionally or through gross negligence, altered the data used to achieve objectives or engaged in behaviours breaching corporate, contractual or legal regulations.

2.4. Balance between the fixed component and the variable component of remuneration (i.e. pay mix)

The balance between the fixed component and the variable component of remuneration, appropriate and consistent with the Company's strategic objectives and risk management policy, was determined in view of the characteristics of the business activity and its reference sector, considering that the variable remuneration component assumes a key role for the success of the Business Plan as a whole.

Consequently, aspiring to correlate the interests of management with those of shareholders, the balance is characterised by the high relevance of objectives that constitute the milestones of the new organisational model, as well as progressive consolidation as a global player resulting from the finalisation of the Progetto Italia.

In this sense, the pay mix adopted for the Chief Executive Officer, the General Managers and some KMP is maintained, which provides for 1/3 reserved respectively for fixed remuneration, for the short-term component and the long-term component, making the key performance indicators connected to the Business Plan highly relevant, in terms of content, targets and the resulting impact on the different forms of variable remuneration (Recommendation 27 of the Code of CG).

In order to promote a greater differentiation of the target bonuses attributable by the Chief Executive Officer to each Key Manager, based on the significance of the activity content with respect to the business, the role organisational relevance, as well as its seniority, a bonus opportunity range is envisaged between a minimum and a maximum value that can be attributed, within the limit of the targets already envisaged and without prejudice to the equivalence between the target bonus of the short-term component and that of the long-term component.

The pay mix is defined in line with European and national market practices and in accordance with the position assigned, making provision for an increasing weight on variable remuneration for the roles that can most directly affect the corporate results. The short-term and long- term variable components have the same percentage weighting in the remuneration package.

2.5 Procedure for exceptions in exceptional circumstances

In the event of exceptional circumstances, the Board of Directors may make the amendments and additions deemed necessary to the Remuneration Policy, and therefore to both the STI Plan and the LTI Plan, independently and without the need for further approval by the Shareholders' Meeting of the Company or appropriate to adapt the operation of the Policy to the changed situation.

In this case, the Board of Directors will resolve:

  • after preliminary investigation and on the proposal by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee;
  • subject to the prior favourable opinion of the Committee for Related-Party Transactions;
  • subject to a favourable opinion by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, in the event that the proposed amendment concerns the members of Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP and the Chief Financial Officer, as regards the Group Risk Officer functions;

  • subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, in relation to the profiles pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code.

The items of the Remuneration Policy which, in the event of exceptional circumstances, could be temporarily waived, may concern:

  • i. the fixed and variable components (STI Plan and LTI Plan) of the remuneration and in particular the pay mix, the criteria used to assess the achievement of the performance objectives of the variable remuneration components, as well as the payout according to the level of achievement of the objectives;
  • ii. the forecast, the payment and/or the size of remuneration in case of termination of office or termination of employment.

Among the exceptional circumstances, without prejudice to the possibility of identifying them in the course of application of the Remuneration Policy, by way of example but not limited to:

  • i. the need to intervene with the aim of retaining key resources for the Company and attracting external resources particularly sought after on the market and potentially strategic for the Group's growth and development;
  • ii. the opportunity to reward individual and/or collective results deemed particularly relevant and positive for the Company;
  • iii. significant changes in organisational terms, both extraordinary and managerial, such as changes in the Top Management structure;
  • iv. socio-economic changes or extraordinary and unpredictable events (such as conflicts, pandemics, etc.), which could impact the Group or the sectors and/or markets in which it operates and significantly affect the results.

2.6 Exogenous factors and adjustments

When assessing and finalising performance, both in the short and long term, adjustments may be made to eliminate the negative effects arising from unforeseeable external factors not falling within the sphere of management's domain, formulated on a rational and proven basis, with a view to ensuring the comparability of results, enhancing the Company's actual performance due to managerial action and compliance with the meritocracy principle laid down as the pivotal principle of the Company's Policy.

3. THE COMPONENTS OF THE 2023-2025 REMUNERATION POLICY

3.1. Fixed remuneration component

The fixed component of remuneration values the skills and experience and compensates management consistent with the features of the position held and the related responsibilities.

In order to ensure competitive and fair fixed remuneration, the Company also takes into account, with the support of a qualified external consultant, market trends, practices and remuneration levels, monitoring market practices with reference to companies comparable in size and business activities as benchmarks (see Section 2.2 Market Practices and Peer Groups).

In line with the recommendations of the Code of CG, the fixed component is determined to an extent that adequately rewards the performance, even when the variable component is not awarded due to failure to meet the relevant objectives.

The fixed component is established as follows:

Beneficiary Expertise
Directors
(including Chairman and Deputy Chairman, the
latter where appointed)
Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment
Directors holding special offices
(and possibly the Chairman and Deputy Chairman,
if the Shareholders' Meeting has not done so)
Board of Directors, on the proposal of the RAC and with the
favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, at the time
of appointment
General Managers and Key
Management Personnel
upon hiring, subject to any reviews, on the proposal of the Chief
Executive Officer, based on performance, change of office with a
with new responsibilities, as well as on the basis of relevant
remuneration market trends or other possible factors, all of the

above in line and in compliance with Remuneration Policy guidelines;

Board of Statutory Auditors Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment

The fixed remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer, General Managers and Key Management Personnel is determined, as mentioned above, by using that of other similar offices in the panels of peer and comparable companies as a reference, also taking into account (i) professional characteristics and specialisation, (ii) position held and relevant responsibilities, (iii) performance, as well as (iv) availability on the market of similar candidates and business risk in the event of termination of the employment relationship, as well as (v) size and management complexity of the Company (see Section 2.2 Market Practices and Peer Groups).

With regard to Non-Executive Directors vested with specific duties, in keeping with Code of CG recommendations, the related compensation is not linked to the Company's financial results and is commensurate with the commitment required in relation to participation in Board committees, and also taking into account (i) the responsibilities of each collegial body, in compliance with the specific relevant applicable rules; (ii) the required skills and/or professional qualifications of each member, including in compliance with professional requirements provided by the afore-mentioned applicable rules; (iii) to the expected duration and frequency of committee meetings, which can be assumed based on their assigned duties, with different compensation for the Chairperson and the members of each committee, taking into consideration their role in coordinating proceedings and liaising with corporate bodies and departments; (iv) market practices in the reference sectors and peer companies.

Similarly, as regards the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the amount of the related remuneration must be adequate for the skills, professionalism and commitment required by the appointment, as appropriately assessed also by the Board of Directors which can, for this purpose, formulate the relative remuneration/adjustment payout proposals for the Shareholders' Meeting.

General Managers, Key Management Personnel appointed at a given time and the Board of Statutory Auditors are also entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses linked to the position held.

The current Group policies require that employees repay, where approved, fees and/or compensation paid for organic activities on the Group's mandate. This is because the individual remuneration benefits already include compensation for the aforementioned benefits.

3.2. Variable components of remuneration payments

The variable remuneration component aims to determine a direct link between compensation and performance with the opportune balancing of Management by Objectives tools (Short-term incentive) and/or long-term incentive schemes.

The variable remuneration component is divided into a short-term component and a long-term component in a perspective of sustainability of results and value creation for shareholders in the medium/long term.

The variable remuneration component envisages maximum payout amounts (Recommendation 27b of the Code of CG), as well as predetermined performance objectives, measurable and linked to a long-term horizon (Recommendation 27c of the Code of CG).

These are performance objectives consistent with the Company's strategic objectives, mainly of a financial nature but also providing for non-financial (such as the ESG Environmental, Social and Governance sustainability objectives).

In relation to Recommendation 27 of the Code of Corporate Governance, relating to the deferral of the variable bonuses payout, the Company has established, both with regard to the STI and the LTI, that the disbursements of the bonuses are made at the end of 3 months from the end of the performance period (annual for STI and three-year for the LTI). Ex post correction mechanisms (malus and claw-back) are also applied to STI and LTI bonus disbursements when the relative circumstances occur.

Short-term variable remuneration components. The STI Plan

The purposes of the STI Plan

The annual variable incentive system (STI) aims to align the individual conduct with the organisation's annual strategic objectives by rewarding the beneficiaries for the results achieved in the short-term (1 year).

The STI is reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee –and for matters within its competence, the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee – which proposes to the Board of Directors the objectives for the Chief Executive Officer and the KMP, by identifying their metrics.

Targets and the performance scale of the STI Plan

Short-term variable remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO STI) is directly linked to the achievement of the Group's annual results indexed to a set of predetermined and measurable metrics, focused on the Group's financial and operating performance defined in accordance with the Business Plan, as well as aligned with the guidance provided from time to time to the market.

With respect to General Managers and KMP (other than the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP), the respective short-term incentive plans (KMP STI) follow a cascading performance measurement approach (Figure 6), i.e. are indexed to the achievement of (i) the Group's annual economic and financial results; (ii) the company results, defined in line with the Company's Business Plan, and (iii) the Department/Individual results, defined in line with the Company's Business Plan as well as aligned with the guidance provided from time to time to the market (Recommendation 27c of the Code of CG).

With reference to the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP, in order to ensure and strengthen the position of independence and control they must assume, it is envisaged not only that the composition of the remuneration pay mix includes a higher percentage for the fixed component with respect to the variable component, but also that the related objectives are not linked to economic and financial targets. Thus, the relative short-term incentive plan follows the cascading performance measurement approach but indexed to the achievement of (i) results of the relevant specific Department/Business Unit and (ii) results linked to individual performance, following an investigation by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee.

On the other hand, the Chief Financial Officer & Group Risk Officer, in order to reflect an adequate balance between the two roles within the incentive mechanism, is envisaged:

  • in line with the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP, that the composition of the remuneration pay mix envisages a higher percentage for the fixed component with respect to the variable component;
  • similarly to the other KMP that the relative objectives are linked to:
    • (i) partly to economic and financial targets, according to a so-called cascading measurement of performance;

(ii) for the rest, upon achievement of the results of the specific Group Risk Officer Department, after preliminary investigation by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee.

Figure 6 - Summary scheme of STI structure

The system in place – in line with the most recent best practices – appropriately balances individual performance incentives, on one hand, with sustainability of company results, on the other.

The economic and financial objectives relating to the STI are broken down as follows, with a differentiated weighting among the relative beneficiaries:

Categories Parameters CEO STI weighting KMP STI weighting
(excluding IA&C SEVP)
Economic
Revenue
25% 12.5%

and
Financial

Net Financial Position
25% 12.5%

Book to Bill
25% 12.5%

EBITDA
25% 12.5%

The quantitative determination of the Group's economic and financial objectives is performed by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Remuneration and Appointment Committee.

The precise disclosure of the relative levels of the envisaged targets, consistent with the Business Plan, as well as aligned with the guidance provided to the market from time to time, is not carried out here for market sensitivity reasons, without prejudice to the fact that a precise disclosure on the level of achievement of all targets will be carried out at the time of finalisation, in Section II of the 2023 Remuneration Report.

The Company/Management objectives – both quantitative and qualitative – are envisaged, as indicated above, only in the STI Plan of the GMs and the KMP. These targets are predetermined, can be measured and differentiated based on the various skills and operational fields of the respective recipients, thereby allowing, on one side, to monitor multiple aspects of corporate and individual performances and, on the other, to identify the contribution by each General Manager/KMP with regard to achieving general strategic objectives pursued by the Company and by the Group.

These objectives are defined by the Chief Executive Officer, after consulting the RAC and the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the latter with regard to the targets of the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP and the Chief Financial Officer, in relation only to the Group Risk Officer functions.

A minimum performance threshold is indicated for each parameter – below which no amount is awarded – positioned close to the target figure. Upon reaching this minimum threshold of the objective, a payout equal to 50% of the target payout is envisaged. The target bonus vests only when 100% of the total objectives are achieved and for performance exceeding the target objective, a maximum cap is envisaged at the bonus payout (Recommendation 27b of the Code of CG).

At the end of each financial year, the assessment regarding the extent to which the assigned objectives were achieved for the purposes of paying out the relative STI remuneration is performed.

  • with regard to the CEO STI, by the Board of Directors, having heard the opinion of the RAC;
  • with regard to the KMP STI, by the Chief Executive Officer, having consulted the RAC (and the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, insofar as it is responsible).

The current incentive scheme envisages deferral of payment to the end of three months from the end of the annual performance period, in order to guarantee the disbursement of the bonus only after approval of the reference annual financial statements by the Board of Directors (Rec. 27d of the Code of CG) and without prejudice to the applicability of the ex post correction mechanisms (malus and clawback) on occurrence of the relative circumstances, referred to in paragraph 3.6.

Long-term variable remuneration components. The 2023-2025 LTI Plan

2023-2025 LTI Plan objectives

This Plan, linked to the 2023-2025 performance period, is intended for managers whose positions are considered relevant to the results of the 2023-2025 Business Plan ("Beneficiaries of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan"). The plan, in line with current legislation and international best practices, seeks, with transparency in procedures and content, to incentivise management by allowing it to benefit from creating value for the Company through long-term reward mechanisms.

Hence, the 2023-2025 LTI Plan has the objective of (i) driving the actions of Beneficiaries in line with factors of strategic interest in the medium/long term for the Group, also in terms of ESG sustainability (ii) promoting stability and retention of Beneficiaries, (iii) aligning remuneration of Beneficiaries to the creation of long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders and (iv) ensuring an overall competitive level of remuneration.

The long-term incentive plan will have a three-year duration starting from 1 January 2023 and ending on 31 December 2025, for the purpose of measuring the performance objectives.

The Vesting Period, as regards the term of bonus accrual, is considered completed on the date of approval of the 2025 Financial Statements by the Board of Directors.

The targets and the performance scale of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan

From this perspective, the long-term variable component is linked to achieving certain results at Group level, consistently with those set out in the Business Plan. For this reason, the 2023-2025 LTI Plan is a closed plan whose performance period is aligned with the time horizon of the Group's strategic guidelines.

The reference targets are determined by the Board of Directors after hearing the opinion of the RAC and, to the extent of its sphere of competence, and that of the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee (in relation to the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP).

The 2023-2025 LTI Plan envisages, provided that the reference objectives are achieved, the allocation of a bonus in monetary form, aspiring to align with the national and international market practices of companies with concentrated ownership and the purpose of attracting and retaining qualified and competent managers in a particularly dynamic and competitive labour market. The long-term incentive component is based on a multiyear time frame, as well as subject to performance and sustainability conditions of positive results over time, and paid in full upfront exclusively at the end of a three-year Vesting Period.

As stated above, the objectives and KPIs of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan are aligned with the Business Plan to anchor the results to the level of achievement of the strategic objectives.

In consideration of the reference context in which the Webuild Group is located in terms of labour market competitiveness, and progressive expansion also into regions with heterogeneous remuneration practices compared to the local market, especially in light of recent additions, as well as for the dynamism and speed of change in the macroeconomic scenario, it is considered essential to align a significant part of the variable remuneration (at least 50%) to performance objectives consistent in terms of time horizon with the Company's strategic objectives to promote its sustainable success (Recommendation 27c of the Code of CG).

For the same prerequisites, depending on the peculiarities of the business activity and the related risk profiles as well as to preserve the incentive capacity, the reward and meritocratic effect from using the variable component in favour of a small pool of key resources at Group level, it is believed that the time horizon of the overall variable component is adequately represented by a short-term and a long-term component and without prejudice to the Company's right to activate ex-post mechanisms to adjust the results up to a period 3-5 years following the vesting of the bonus (so-called Claw-back).

Taking into account both the specific characteristics of the reference segment and of the identification of predetermined and measurable objectives that are significantly linked to performance periods also in the long term, the current incentive scheme envisages deferral of payment to the end of three months from the end of the triennial performance period, in order to guarantee the disbursement of the bonus only after approval of the reference annual financial statements by the Board of Directors (Rec. 27d of the Code of CG) and without prejudice to the applicability of the ex post correction mechanisms (malus and clawback) on occurrence of the relative circumstances, referred to in paragraph 3.6.

Figure 7 – LTI 2023-2025 performance period

In particular, consistently with Recommendation 27c of the Code of CG, the 2023-2025 LTI Plan is based on two types of indicators, the 2023-2025 LTI Plan Objectives, measured independently, with respect to the values in the budget/Business Plan, which are as follows:

  • (i) economic and financial indicators identified as EBITDA/Financial Charges (with a 25% weight and measurement of the percentage ratio between EBITDA, as defined in the loan agreements, and financial charges), Cumulative EBIT with a 25% weighting and Overheads on revenues, with a 30% weighting;
  • (ii) indicators related to risk and sustainability, defined as Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (with a 10% weighting and measurement of the average percentage reduction in the performance period of the LTIFR index) and reduction of the intensity of "greenhouse gas emissions" (with a 10% weighting and quantitative measurement of the reduction of GHG gas emissions – Scope 1-2 – as compared to revenues).

The Vested Bonus will be determined based on the level of achievement of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan Objectives. Each Target that has been achieved at least up to the predetermined minimum performance threshold (the threshold) will then be multiplied by its relative weighting in order to determine the amount of Vested Bonus attributable to this Objective, which cannot exceed the maximum cap in the event of overperformance as detailed in Figure 8:

Consequently, if all Objectives of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan have been achieved at the level of:

  • (a) less than the minimum threshold, the Vested Bonus will be zero;
  • (b) equal to the minimum threshold, the Vested Bonus will be 50% of the Target Bonus;
  • (c) equal to 100%, the Vested Bonus will be 100% of the Target Bonus;
  • (d) equal to or greater than the Cap, the Vested Bonus will be 140% of the Target Bonus.

When the performance of an objective is achieved between the minimum threshold and the target or between the target and the cap, the payout is calculated according to a linear interpolation mechanism, respectively between 50% and 100% and between 100% and 140%.

The 2023-2025 LTI Plan Objectives that have not been reached at least up to the minimum threshold will not be taken into consideration for the calculation of the Vested Bonus, which will be determined on the basis of the level of achievement of the other 2023-2025 LTI Plan Objectives that were reached for at least up to the minimum threshold, multiplied by their relative weightings.

The precise disclosure of the target levels envisaged, consistent with the Business Plan and aligned with the guidance provided to the market, is not carried out here for market sensitivity reasons, it being understood that precise information on the level of achievement of the targets will be carried out at the time of finalisation, in Section II of the 2025 Remuneration Report.

It should be noted that the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP is the recipient of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan, with objectives referring mainly to individual performance with a weighting equal to 80% of the total LTI in line with the tasks assigned and, similarly to the Beneficiaries of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan, with risk and sustainability

indicators. Therefore, in light of the specific responsibility of the role, the economic-financial indicators are excluded.

Figure 9 - Summary scheme of structure of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan

The achievement of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan Objectives is ascertained by the Board of Directors, on proposal of the RAC and, for aspects under its competency, the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee (with regard to the Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP), subject to verification that the minimum performance level has been attained.

The 2023-2025 LTI Plan may also be extended to those who, during the 2023-2025 three-year period, become part of the Group's Management and/or assume, for internal career growth, the position of General Manager and/or the status of Key Management Personnel. In this case, inclusion is subject to the condition of being able to participate in the Plan for at least one full year and the incentive percentages will be re-indexed to the number of months of effective participation in the 2023-2025 LTI Plan.

3.3. The Policy on non-monetary benefits and insurance coverage, or social security or pension payments other than statutory obligations

With the aim of offering overall remuneration that is as competitive as possible and in line with national and international best practices, the total pay of Directors, General Managers and KMP is supplemented by nonmonetary benefits.

Directors receive insurance coverage for work-related and non-work-related accidents which result in death or permanent disability.

The Chief Executive Officer, General Managers and KMP, in line with the provisions of the Collective Agreement for Managers of Companies Producing Goods and Services (Managers' CCNL) applied by the Company, are guaranteed insurance cover in case of death or permanent disability that would reduce their working capacity by more than 2/3 as a result of a work-related accident or illness.

In compliance with industry best practices, the Company also has a Directors & Officers(D&O) insurance policy to cover any liability with regard to third parties (and the Company) for the non-culpable conduct of the aforementioned individuals.

The Chief Executive Officer, General Managers and KMP may also be assigned company cars for both personal and business use, as well as housing, in accordance with company policies applicable from time to time.

3.4. Effects of termination on the payment of variable components

With reference to the STI, the Beneficiary shall forfeit the right to receive the related payment in the event that at the time of its disbursement (i) the employment relationship has ended or (ii)or if the beneficiary has been notified of the termination but is still working.

It is understood that (i) except in cases of death or illness, the employment relationship is understood as terminated for these purposes from the time the termination notice is served for any reason, regardless of any period of notice contractually due, (ii) the Board of Directors retains the right, having received the opinion of the RAC, to waive the application of the provisions of Article 3.5, in the terms and methods that will be identified by the Board at its sole discretion.

With respect to the effect of the termination of the employment relationship or the office of Director on the 2023- 2025 LTI Plan before the end of the relevant Vesting Period, given that the right to receive the bonus is intrinsically and functionally linked to the continuation of the employment relationship of the Beneficiaries with

the Company or its Subsidiaries, unless the Board of Directors resolves in a more favourable way for the Beneficiaries, the following scenarios are possible:

  • a) in the event of termination of the employment relationship and/or office during the Vesting Period as a result of one of the following scenarios ("Bad Leaver"):
    • voluntary resignation of the Beneficiary;
    • termination of the employment relationship initiated by the Company for just cause pursuant to Article 2119 of the Italian Civil Code;
    • revocation or non-renewal of the office of Director without just cause;
    • early termination of the freelance/sub-contracted work agreement for just cause;

the Beneficiary shall automatically forfeit the right to participate in the 2023-2025 LTI Plan and the relative benefits, also for any vested pro rata benefits;

  • b) in all remaining cases of termination of the employment relationship and/or office during the Vesting Period as a result of a scenario other than those listed above ("Good Leaver"), the Beneficiary (or his/her heirs) shall retain the right to a portion of the bonus determined on a pro-rata temporis basis;
  • c) in the event of termination of the employment relationship and/or office due to ("Leaver"):

    • death;
  • total and permanent disability;

  • retirement;

the Beneficiary (or his/her heirs) shall in any case retain the right to participate in the 2023-2025 LTI Plan if the termination took place after the Vesting Period or, if it took place during the Vesting Period, shall retain the right to the related portion determined on a pro-rata temporis basis.

3.5. The Policy relating to payments in case of termination of office or termination of employment

With reference to the Chief Executive Officer, on the occasion of the termination of the work and/or the employment relationship, the Company may pay the aforementioned termination indemnity - up to a maximum of 24 months of Total Remuneration7 , in addition to the protections provided for by law and/or by the current National Collective Labour Agreement.

In the case of a possible premature termination of office or termination of employment initiated by the Company or by an individual manager, the provisions of the regulations in force as well as those of the Managers' CCNL shall apply.

Settlement agreements for the consensual termination of the employment relationship with the aforementioned parties, pursuant to Article 2113 of the Italian Civil Code and with waiver of any further claim against the Company and the Group, may be concluded, in accordance with legal regulations and the applicable collective contractual regulations, when a termination of the relationship is not related to objectively inadequate results, in line with the respective benchmarks on the matter, while also pursuing post-contractual methods for protecting the Company's assets and interests. On the occasion of the termination of the employment relationship, the Company may, in particular, grant individual General Managers and KMP remuneration incentives to leave which cannot in any case exceed a maximum number of 24 months of total remuneration pursuant to Article 2121 of the Italian Civil Code, in addition to the protections provided for by the law and/or by the CCNL in force (e.g. the indemnity in lieu of the notice) and at the same time payments of any ad hoc post-contractual agreements in addition to those provided for by the law and/or by the CCNL to protect the interests of the Company (see non-compete agreements, non-enticement covenants, confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations, cooperation obligations, etc.)8 .

7 Fixed component plus the three-year average of the variable components received in the previous three-year period-year period.

8 These treatments are defined when the settlement agreement is finalised, taking into consideration the Company's overall results, the individual performances and the duration of the employment relationship. Specifically, the aforementioned possible redundancy incentives are aimed at supporting the achievement of company objectives in the best possible manner, while minimising current and future costs and risks, taking into consideration (i) the Company's overall results and individual performance, while considering (ii) the actual duration of the employment relationship, (iii) the fact that the individual has performed below reasonable expectations, (iv) the circumstance that the individual has assumed inadequate risks, (v) the fact that the individual has behaved and/or has had an attitude at odds with corporate values, (vi) the personal and social impacts of the termination of the employment relationship, especially for persons who are in particular age brackets and/or personal situations, (vii) any other fact/circumstance/attitude/behaviour relating to individuals, the company and the social context that have an impact on the decision to terminate of the relationship, (viii) the reason underlying the decision to terminate the relationship (also with reference to the notions of just cause and justification according to the parameters in force from time to time) put in relation to the corporate interest in reaching a consensual termination of the relationship through the payment of an amount whose cost, calculated on the basis of adequate evidence (and possibly as indicated by competent third parties,

Remuneration Report

It is understood that (i) except in cases of death and illness, the employment relationship is deemed to be terminated for these purposes from the time that termination notice is served for any reason, regardless of any period of notice contractually due, (ii) the Board of Directors retains the right, after receiving the opinion of the RAC, not to apply the provisions of Article 3.5, in the terms and methods that will be identified by the Board at its sole discretion.

3.6. Malus and claw-back clauses

With regard to short/medium-term variable remuneration components, claw-back clauses are envisaged, whoever the beneficiary of said clauses, within the terms envisaged by governing regulations and regardless of whether the employment relationship is still in place, that allow the Company to demand a partial or total return of variable remuneration components (or not to pay these variable components, in the event of malus clauses) when the amount was determined based on data that was subsequently found to be manifestly incorrect (Recommendation 27e of the Code of CG):

  • a) breach, by the Beneficiary, of the company, contractual or legal rules, or
  • b) individual malicious or grossly negligent conduct by the latter aimed at altering the data used to measure the achievement of the objectives.

No compensation shall be paid to individuals whose conduct breached company regulations (especially the Code of Ethics and the Organisational Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/01 and the Anti-Corruption Model), or contractual clauses or the law or in the event of wilful misconduct or egregiously malicious behaviour that damages the company.

However, these mechanisms are applied without prejudice to any other action permitted by the law to protect the Company's interests.

4. STRUCTURE OF REMUNERATION COMPONENTS

4.1. Remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of Directors

Shareholders' Meeting remuneration for office

The Shareholders' Meeting held on 30 April 2021 approved a gross annual remuneration for the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in office until the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2023, of €400,000.

Payment in the event of termination of office

There are no existing agreements which provide for compensation if the term of office ends prematurely.

Benefits

Insurance coverage and welfare payments are provided for the Chairman (for details, see Section II, Table 1 attached to this Report).

4.2. Remuneration of the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors held on 13 May 2021 approved the payment of a gross annual remuneration of €100,000 to the Deputy Chairman for the statutory activities carried out. Said amount is in addition to the fees received by the same as Board Director.

4.3. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

Shareholders' Meeting remuneration for office

The Shareholders' Meeting held on 30 April 2021 approved a gross annual remuneration for each member of the Board of Directors, in office until the approval of the financial statements as of 31 December 2023, of €60,000. This amount is suited to the expertise, professionalism and commitment required by the tasks assigned to them within the Board (Recommendation 29 of the Code of CG).

Remuneration for participation in Board committees

such as the judicial arbitration authority), is not higher than the cost that would presumably be incurred in the event that the person was dismissed and went to court to protect his/her rights. In any case, the above criteria are, according to the peculiarity of each specific case, weighted and mutually offset, always with a view to pursuing the Company's best interest.

The Board of Directors on 13 May 2021, with regard to the responsibilities of the different collegial bodies, in compliance with the specific applicable rules and skills and/or professional qualifications required of each member, also in application of the professional requirements provided by the aforementioned applicable law and the expected duration and frequency of committee meetings, assumed in consideration of their duties, on proposal of the RAC and with the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved to pay the following compensation to the appointed members of internal committees, in line with the previous mandate:

Committee Members Annual gross compensation (€) Annual gross total (€)
Chairperson Member
Control, Risk and Sustainability 6 60,000 45,000 285,000
Remuneration and Appointment 3 35,000 20,000 75,000
Related-party transactions 4 15,000 10,000 45,000

Payment in the event of termination of office

There are no specific termination benefits for Non-Executive Directors or agreements which make provision for compensation if the term of office ends prematurely.

Benefits

Insurance coverage and welfare payments are provided for Non-Executive Directors (for details, see Section II, Table 1 attached to this Report).

4.4. The remuneration of the Control Bodies

Remuneration of the Statutory Auditors

The Company's policy on the remuneration of the members of the control body was determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 2402 of the Italian Civil Code, by the Shareholders' Meeting of 4 May 2020, which set the annual compensation for the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors at €140,000 and the annual compensation for each Standing Auditor at €80,000. For details of the remuneration components of the statutory auditors, please refer to Section II.

The 2023 Shareholders' Meeting will resolve on the remuneration of the Chairman and the members of the newly appointed Board of Statutory Auditors for the 2023-2025 mandate.

4.5. Remuneration of the CEO

The Board of Directors' meeting on 30 April 2021 appointed Pietro Salini as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, thereby conferring upon him the powers of legal representation of the Company and the signing powers with regard to third parties and for legal matters, as well as vesting him with the powers for the management of corporate operations, with the right to delegate the responsibility for the organisation and conduct of certain business units.

The Chief Executive Officer is currently the sole Executive Director of the Company. He is also a Manager of the Company, thus Pietro Salini is linked to the Company through a permanent contract for the independent and unique functions of Manager.

Fixed components of remuneration payments

The amount of Gross Annual Salary (GAS) due to the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the management employment contract with the Company and in light of the duties that are the subject of that contract, was set at €650,000.

The amount of fixed fee due, pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code, to the Chief Executive Officer for the performance of his delegated duties is equal to the annual gross amount of €1,350,000.

In light of the above, the fixed component of remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer resulting from the sum of the GAS and fixed fee pursuant to Article 2389, paragraph 3 of the Italian Civil Code for the Chief Executive Officer duties (jointly "CEO Fixed Component"), is equal to the annual gross amount of €2,000,000.

The Chief Executive Officer does not receive any further emoluments for the positions held within the Group (with particular regard, to date, as Chairman of Lane Industries and as Chairman and CEO of Webuild US Holding).

In addition to the CEO Fixed Component, the annual gross amount of €60,000 resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 30 April 2021 for the role of Director should also be considered as additional fixed element of the CEO remuneration.

The CEO Fixed Component should be considered adequate as compensation for the performance of the CEO

even if the variable component is not awarded due to failure to meet the relevant performance objectives indicated by the Board of Directors.

Short-term variable remuneration components

The Chief Executive Officer, precisely in this capacity and as consideration for exercising his/her powers, is also entitled to receive a variable remuneration, again pursuant to Article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, in terms of STI and LTI Plans.

The STI for the CEO is recognised as a function of the achievement of the Group economic and financial objectives as Department/Business Unit performance objectives envisaged for General Managers and KMP do not apply to the CEO.

The STI amount for the CEO was confirmed – taking as basis for the calculation the CEO Fixed Component – as €2,000,000 gross upon achieving 100% of the objectives. The payment and amount of the CEO STI are subject and indexed to reaching the fixed objectives as illustrated in Figure 10:

The right to receive the CEO STI is vested on the basis of results achieved and assessed according to a performance scale with the range varying from a minimum (minimum performance) to a maximum (maximum performance), with the corresponding payout of a variable remuneration from 50% to 140% respectively of CEO Fixed Component, calculated by linear interpolation for pre-set intervals. Should performance in terms of the relevant objectives be below the minimum threshold, no amount linked to that objective shall be paid.

Long-term variable remuneration component: 2023-2025 LTI Plan

With respect to the long-term incentive plan, the Board of Directors identified the Chief Executive Officer as Beneficiary of the 2023-2025 LTI Plan as outlined in Section 3.2to which reference is made.

The amount of the 2023-2025 LTI was set - taking as basis for the calculation the CEO Fixed Component - at €6,000,000 upon achieving 100% of the objectives. This amount, compared to the entire duration of the Plan, stands at €2,000,000 on an annual basis; in fact, note that this a "closed" plan, i.e. which provides for a single allocation at the start of the three-year performance period. The methods relating to any payment are subject to and based on attainment of the objectives set, as outlined in Section 3.2, to which reference is made.

Payments envisaged in the event of termination of office and of employment

There are no specific payments for the termination of office of the Chief Executive Officer, nor are there agreements which involve compensation if the term of office ends prematurely, if the CEO is removed from office, his/her mandate is revoked, or if said mandate is not renewed. On the occasion of the termination of the work and/or the employment relationship, the Company may pay the aforementioned termination indemnity up to a maximum of 24 months of Total Remuneration9 , in addition to the protections provided for by law and/or by the current National Collective Labour Agreement.

Benefits

Non-monetary benefits are paid to the Chief Executive Officer (for details, see Section II, Table 1).

4.6. Remuneration of General Managers and KMP

9 Fixed component plus the three-year average of the variable components received in the previous three-year period-year period.

From time to time, the Company identifies General Managers and Key Management Personnel, based on the duties effectively carried out, in line with the definition referred to in CONSOB Regulation No. 17221/2010. Table 1 shows the General Managers and Key Management Personnel at the date of this report, highlighting the area to which each individual belongs (Corporate/Operations):

Fixed remuneration component

The fixed remuneration component for General Managers and KMP is determined on the basis of the role and responsibilities appointed and it may be periodically adjusted as part of the annual salary review process carried out for all managerial positions.

In line with the recommendations of the Code of CG, the fixed remuneration component is determined to an extent that adequately rewards the performance of the General Managers and KMP, even when the variable component should not be awarded due to failure to meet its relevant performance objectives.

Moreover, General Managers and KMP are entitled to reimbursement of the expenses incurred as a result of their office.

Short-term variable remuneration component

With regard to the variable component for 2023, General Managers and KMP are also eligible to receive a shortterm variable compensation ("KMP STI") upon reaching 100% of the objectives in addition, equal to a portion of the respective fixed remuneration components of between 50% and 100%, based on the features of the position held.

Payment and the amount of the respective KMP STI are subject to and based on achievement of the following results, each with a relative weighting (Figure 11).

Figure 11 - GM/KMP STI structure (including the Chief Financial Officer & Group Risk Officer)

Remuneration Report

The Chief Financial Officer & Group Risk Officer is the recipient of the STI plan with objectives and a payout curve similar to those described for the KMP, with specific declination of only the Management Objectives, which account for 30% of the Total STI, in line with the functions of Group Risk Officer.

The Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP is the recipient of the STI Plan, with objectives and a payout curve similar to the one outlined above, excluding only the economic/financial objectives and with a specific breakdown of Management Objectives and Individual Objectives, each with a 50% weighing of the Total STI, in line with the assigned duties.

Figure 12 - Internal Audit & Compliance SEVP STI structure

The right to receive the KMP STI accrues based on the results achieved and assessed according to a performance scale with the range varying from a minimum value ("minimum performance") to a maximum value ("maximum performance"), with the corresponding payout of a variable remuneration from 50% to 140% respectively of the fixed remuneration component, calculated by linear interpolation at pre-determined intervals. Should performance in terms of the relevant objectives be below the minimum threshold, no amount linked to that objective shall be paid.

Long-term variable remuneration component: 2023-2025 LTI Plan

As regards the criteria for participation in the 2023-2025 LTI Plan of General Managers and KMP, please refer to paragraph 3.2.

In the case of participation, the amount of the 2023-2025 LTI is differentiated according to the role covered by the Beneficiaries and is equal, upon reaching 100% of the objectives, to 90%, 150% or 300% of the Fixed Component targets on a three-year basis, respectively, i.e. 30%, 50% or 100% on an annual basis. This is a "closed" plan, which provides for a single assignment at the start of the three-year performance period. The methods relating to any payment are subject to and based on attainment of the objectives set, as outlined in Section 3.2, to which reference is made.3.2

Payment in case of termination of employment

For General Managers and KMP who are employees of the Company, in the event of termination of the employment relationship, the payment established by law and/or by the Manager's CCNL (National Collective Labour Agreement) and/or the different relevant collective contractual provisions shall be applied.

On the occasion of the termination of the employment relationship, the Company may pay the individual General Managers and KMP additional remuneration with respect to that envisaged pursuant to the aforementioned provisions provided that there is an interest of the Company in this regard and excluding the cases of voluntary resignation or in any other case in which the payment does not comply with the Company's interests.

The amount derived from the application of these clauses/agreements cannot in any case exceed a maximum number of 24 months of de facto total remuneration – in addition to the protections provided for by law and/or by the CCNL in force (e.g. the indemnity in lieu of notice) – defined when the settlement agreement is finalised, taking into consideration the Company's overall results, the individual performance and the duration of the employment relationship.

A further essential condition for the recognition of the aforementioned additional amounts is that the Manager signs a settlement agreement that envisages (i) the waiver of any further claim against the Company, the Group and shareholders, (ii) the termination of any office within the Company and/or Group, and (iii) reciprocal clauses regarding confidentiality and non-denigration.

With reference to professional roles with particularly significant characteristics, such that the termination of the relationship may lead to risks, the Company reserves the right to define, on a case-by-case basis, noncompete agreements that provide for the payment of a consideration commensurate with the duration and extent of the restriction resulting from the agreement following the conclusion of the employment relationship and/or termination of office.

With regard to the existence of agreements concluded during the employment relationship, note that the Company currently has specific agreements with some KMP designed to govern ex ante aspects related to any possible early termination of employment.

The terms of these agreements, defined in line with the regulations in force and with reference benchmarks, pursuant to the provisions of the Remuneration Policy, provide for the payment of a 24-month10 compensation in addition to the protections provided for by law and/or by the CCNL in force (e.g. the indemnity in lieu of notice) in case of (i) a change in the control of the Company or (ii) in the event of termination without just cause pursuant to art. 2119 of the Italian Civil Code.

Lastly, the provisions under Section 3.4., with respect to the effects of termination of employment relationships on the 2023-2025 LTI Plan, remain applicable.

Benefits

Insurance coverage or welfare payments are provided for General Managers and KMP with better conditions than those established in the national collective bargaining agreement, as well as the allocation of a company car for personal use and, possibly, housing (for details, see Section II, Table 1).

10 Using as reference parameter the de facto total remuneration, calculated as the sum of the gross annual salary, the average variable remuneration of the past three years and the valuation of any fringe benefits.

SECTION II: DETAILS OF ITEMS THAT MAKE UP THE REMUNERATION AND THE COMPENSATION PAID IN 2023

INTRODUCTION TO SECTION II

Section II of the Report on the Policy for Remuneration and Compensation Paid provides not only detailed information on the compensation received during the reference year by members of the Administration and Control Bodies, General Managers and Key Management Personnel, but also describes the correlation between the levels of achievement of the performance and the components of variable remuneration in relation to the applicable Policies. In addition, the Section includes the information relating to the change in the compensation of the members of the Administration and Control Bodies, General Managers and Employees and of the company performance.

CORRELATION BETWEEN PERFORMANCE, PAYOUT AND COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED AND EXPECTED

The short- (STI) and long-term (LTI) variable remuneration is connected to a series of indicators that represent, from time to time, the drivers on which to focus the performance of the Management in reaching the objectives that form the basis of the short- and long-term strategies of the company, as well as the pillars and rationale underpinning the Business Plan. The structure of the incentive system requires, in particular, each assigned objective to be measured on an individual basis within a specific performance scale, based on the actual level of achievement, linked to a payout curve (Figure 13).

The correlation between the performance and the payout is calculated through a linear interpolation for preestablished levels, with the minimum performance thresholds under which no payment will be made. Hence, this correlation guarantees that the variable remuneration systems are based on practical 'sustainability' criteria, i.e. that the payments only originate if the qualitative or quantitative objectives, to which the specific bonus is connected, have been 'measured' and achieved to a significant degree.

Therefore, the performance curve provides for a minimum access threshold normally equal to at least 80% of the value of the target assigned, to which payment of 50% of the target bonus corresponds, and a maximum level normally of 120% of the target (overperformance), which corresponds to a payment of 140% of the target bonus. For performances exceeding 120%, the maximum threshold over which performance does not produce effects on the bonus payable, provision is instead made for the application of a cap on the variable remuneration, both short and long-term, hence limiting the value of the bonus payable to the maximum thresholds defined on an ex-ante basis.

The variable remuneration systems, in line with the regulatory recommendations as well the market best practices, also include economic-financial, project, qualitative and ESG objectives, therefore ensuring the correct balance between the 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' objectives, consequently making it possible to evaluate the extent to which they have been reached and also to 'weight' and consider the skills and behaviour to reach said objectives.

Figure 13 - Correlation between performance and payout

The following pages represent the correlation between performance and payout as regards 2023 variable incentive systems. In representing the data, account was taken of (i) the regulatory requirements aimed at promoting the transparency and involvement of shareholders in the matter of remuneration as well as (ii) the latest results of voting at shareholders' meetings (Figure 14) which, although positive, represent a starting point for a process of greater clarity with respect to the methods of presenting matters relating to remuneration.

The Board of Directors, by resolution of 16 March 2023, after obtaining the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved to submit to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023 certain changes to the payout methods of the 2020-2022 LTI Plan (approved at the time by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 4 May 2022), motivated by the changed macroeconomic context and business dynamics over the last three years, as well as the need to increase the incentive and retention lever on key resources of the Group.

The proposed amendments in item 6 of the agenda of said Shareholders' Meeting, containing a "Proposal to amend the payout methods of the 2020-2022 Performance Share Plan. Related and consequent resolutions", were approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 April 2023.
