Section I

Introduction

The Company draws up and applies a general remuneration policy which attracts, motivates and retains individuals possessing the professional standards required to achieve Group objectives.

The policy was developed on the basis of a clear and transparent process and in which the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Remuneration Committee all play a central role.

In accordance with Article 17.9 of the By-laws, Directors remuneration for the duration of the mandate is established by the Shareholders' Meeting on their appointment, also through establishing a total amount in accordance with Article 2389, third paragraph of the civil code. This remuneration may also comprise a fixed part and a variable part, the latter based on the reaching of pre-set objectives. The Bylaws, in addition, establish that the remuneration of Senior Directors is determined by the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The Company has also appointed a Remuneration Committee.

The remuneration policies for Senior Directors, both concerning the fixed part and the variable part, are proposed annually by the Remuneration Committee and submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, following approval by the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The objectives

The remuneration policy of the Company both recognises the contribution of Directors and personnel through a remuneration policy based in part on the reaching of company and individual performance objectives and also seeks to ensure the retention of Directors and strategic personnel.

Appointments and Remuneration Committee

The company, also in consideration of the results of the self-assessment process, decided not to set up an Appointments Committee, instead preferring to assign these functions to the Remuneration Committee, which therefore, from March 15, 2018, changed its name to the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

At December 31, 2017 and until the date of the present report, the Committee was comprised of 3 nonexecutive members, of which two independent.

The Committee was appointed for the first time with Board motion of March 22, 2007. The Board of

Directors' meeting of April 28, 2016 re-elected the members of the Remuneration Committee, whose mandate expired, in the persons of Franco Moscetti (Non-Executive and Independent Director), Stefano Marzotto (Non-Executive Director) and Daniela Manzoni (Non-Executive and Independent Director). The Board, at the time of the appointment, evaluated and considered adequate the financial and accounting qualifications of the members of the Committee.

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee is assigned the duties to:

– play a consultative role in identifying directors of appropriate professional standing and expertise on the appointment of the Board of Directors, in order to improve the efficiency and functioning of the Board. It also has an investigative and consultative role with regards to matters presenting an increased risk of conflicts of interest;

and also has the duty to:

  • draw up proposals for the Board of Directors in relation to the remuneration of executive directors and senior executives, in addition to the fixing of the performance objectives related to the variable component of this remuneration;
  • monitor the application of the decisions of the Board of Directors concerning the remuneration policy and the effective reaching of the performance objectives;
  • periodically evaluate the adequacy, the overall compliance and the application of the remuneration policy, including the remuneration criteria adopted, of directors and senior executives, also using information provided by the Chief Executive Officers and draw up for the Board of Directors general recommendations in this regard;

During the year, the Committee, among other matters, verified the application of the criteria regarding the variable remuneration paid to Senior Directors and Senior Executives, based on the results achieved in 2017.

In addition, the Committee proposed the amount of fixed remuneration, in addition to the criteria for the establishment of the variable part of the remuneration of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer for the year.

In the carrying out of its functions, the Committee has full access to the information and to the corporate functions necessary for the carrying out of its remit and does not require the use of external consultants, as availing of the support of internal structures.

Policies

The remuneration policy of the Company provides also that the remuneration of executive directors

and senior executives comprises both fixed and variable components, which are appropriately balanced on the basis of the strategic objectives and the risk management policy of the company, taking into account also the sector in which the Issuer operates. The fixed component of this remuneration should sufficiently remunerate the level of professional service of the beneficiary in the case in which the variable component was not paid due to the performance objectives not being met, indicated by the Board of Directors for the executive directors, or by the Chief Executive officer for the senior executives. For the variable component, the remuneration policy of the Company ensures that a significant part of the remuneration of Executive Directors and Senior Executives is incentive-based, subject to the achievement of company and individual performance objectives, and this remuneration is set so as to align the interests of executive directors and senior executives with the priority objective of the creation of value for shareholders over the medium/long-term.

On this basis the Committee drew up the proposal for the structure of the remuneration of directors and senior executives of the Company for the years 2016-2018. The Board of Directors on April 28, 2016 approved the remuneration policy for the directors of the company, in line with the proposal of the Committee, while the incentive policy is linked also to the medium/long-term objectives, as per the Self-Governance Code. In particular, a significant part of the remuneration of the Executive Directors and of Senior Executives is related to the economic results of the Group and/or the achievement of specific particularly challenging objectives indicated by the Board of Directors or, in the case of Senior Executives, by the CEO and is subject to the reaching of objectives, measured on the basis of economic-financial indicators for the Group, including revenues, EBITDA, EBIT and ROI.

The gross annual remuneration of other Non-Executive Directors will not be based on the achievement by the Company of financial targets and is, however, based on the commitment required of each in their respective roles.

Indemnity of directors and senior managers in the case of dismissal and termination of employment following a public purchase offer is not provided for.

On April 28, 2016, the Board of Directors established, among other issues, the breakdown among the members of the Board of Directors of the total gross annual remuneration of Euro 240,000 approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 28, 2016. In particular, the Board at the same meeting established a gross fixed annual remuneration of Euro 20,000 for each Director, in addition to Euro 2,000 as a fee for attendance at each Board meeting.

Non-monetary benefits

This concerns in particular the provision of a company car and obligatory health insurance coverage. The remuneration policy approved by the Company does not provide for other insurance coverage, social security or pension provisions in addition to those obligatorily required.

Incentive plans
