concerning the remuneration of Directors vested with special offices, monitoring with the Remuneration Committee the consistency with the Policy adopted by the Company.

1.b Composition, responsibilities and functioning of the Remuneration Committee.

The Remuneration Committee is currently made up of three non-executive and independent directors: Alberica Brivio Sforza, Barbara Napolitano and Alberto Rosati. The Director Alberica Brivio Sforza, due to her knowledge and experience in the financial sector as well as her knowledge in remuneration policies, as evidenced by the information held by the Company, was appointed Chairwoman of the Committee.

Therefore, the composition of the Committee complies with the provisions of Art. 5, Recommendation 26, of the Corporate Governance Code on the matter.

The Committee is assigned the following duties of an investigation, advisory and proposal-making nature:

  • a) assisting the Board of Directors in drawing up the remuneration policy;

  • b) presenting proposals or expressing opinions to the Board of Directors on the remuneration of the executive directors and of the other directors who occupy specific positions, as well as on the setting of performance targets related to the variable component of this remuneration, monitoring the application of the decisions adopted by the Board and verifying the actual achievement of the aforementioned performance targets;

  • c) regularly assessing the suitability, overall consistency and practical application of the policies of directors and top management, making use for executives with strategic responsibilities, of the information provided by the Managing Director, putting forward proposals and general recommendations on the matter to the Board of Directors;

  • d) submitting proposals and expressing opinions to the Board of Directors on incentive plans, stock option plans, employee share plans and other plans to motivate and increase the loyalty of the management and employees of the companies of the Group headed by the Company, also with reference to the suitability for pursuing the objectives typical of these plans, the procedures for their practical implementation by competent corporate bodies and potential amendments or supplements.

The functioning of the Remuneration Committee is governed by Regulations, most recently amended by the Board of Directors on 4 February 2021, the most important rules of which are illustrated below.

The Committee meets with sufficient frequency to ensure the proper performance of its functions and duties and whenever the Chairman of the Committee deems it appropriate or when the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director so requests.

The meetings of the Committee are chaired by the Chairman or, in the event of his/her absence or unavailability, the most senior member in age. The Committee, on the proposal of the Chairman, may appoint a secretary, also chosen from outside its own members, who is entrusted with the task of drawing up the minutes of the Committee meetings.

him/her, takes part in the meetings of the Committee. Other Statutory Auditors may also take part in the meetings of the Committee.

The Chairman may invite the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Managing Director, or one or more members of the Board of Directors (not already members of the Committee) to take part in the meetings of the Committee, without the right to vote and on condition that they do not have a personal interest in the topics on the agenda. The Chairman may, where necessary, informing the Managing Director accordingly, and with reference to specific points on the agenda, invite to the meetings of the Committee representatives from the relevant company functions and other persons whose presence may be of help for the better execution of the functions of the Committee itself.

In any case, no director may take part in meetings of the Committee in which proposals to the Board of Directors are made concerning his/her own remuneration.

The presence of the majority of members is required for the validity of the meetings of the Committee. The decisions of the Committee are adopted with the absolute majority of those attending. In the event of a tie, the chairman shall have the deciding vote.

Minutes of the Committee meetings are taken; once signed by the participating members or the person chairing the meeting and by the secretary, these are stored in chronological order.

Following each meeting, the Committee updates the Board of Directors with a notice, at the first meeting thereafter, on the matters dealt with and the observations, recommendations and opinions formulated therein.

The Committee is endowed with suitable financial resources for the fulfilment of its duties.

The Committee has access to the information and the corporate functions required for the execution of its tasks and may make use of external consultants, at the expense of the Company, within the budget limits approved by the Board of Directors. If, specifically, it intends to make use of consultants who are experts on remuneration policies, the Committee verifies in advance that these consultants are not in a position that may jeopardise their independent judgement.

Conflicts of interest are managed in compliance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code.

1.cCompany assessments regarding the fee and working conditions of its employees in determining the remuneration policy.

The Policy consists of tools and logics aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining people with the qualities necessary to contribute to the definition of the Company's growth strategy and to the strengthening of Openjobmetis' long-term interests and sustainability. It is based on principles of fairness, equal opportunity, meritocracy and competitiveness in relation to the market.

The definition of the remuneration of the corporate population takes into consideration specific criteria, including the comparison with the external market and the internal equity of the company, the characteristics of the role and the responsibilities assigned, as well as the distinctive skills of the people, always with a view to maximum objectivity, in order to avoid any form of discrimination.
