The vote of Etica Sgr

On the following points Etica Sgr has expressed a vote not in line with management’s recommendations:

Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid – Approval of the first section (remuneration policy)

Etica Sgr voted not in favour, because not all the requirements in the Engagement Policy are met. In particular, those relating to the severance agreement and the use of discretion. With reference to the severance agreement, it may exceed the maximum number of months set by Etica Sgr’s Engagement Policy, if including payments related to non-compete agreements.

The discretion noted refers to the possibility of exercising the so-called “Lump Sum” factor in the form of entry bonuses for the hiring of strategic resources. However, Etica Sgr takes a positive view of the presence of ESG KPIs in both the short- and medium/long-term variable components.

Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid – Non-binding vote on the second section (2020 compensation)

Etica Sgr voted not in favour because the criterion regarding the use of discretion is not met.
