3. UPDATE OF THE REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPENSATION PAID. BINDING
RESOLUTION ON THE SECTION I OF THE REPORT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 123-TER, PARAGRAPHS 3-BIS
AND 3-TER, OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 58/1998
Dear Shareholders,
Pursuant to Article 123 -ter, paragraph 3 -bis, of the TUF, you are called upon to approve an updated version of Section I of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid (the " Remuneration Report " and, as regards the first section thereof, the " Policy "), which provides an adequate, clear and comprehensible illustration of: a) the Company's policy on the remuneration of Board members, general managers, key management personnel and members of the supervisory bodies, without affecting the provisions of Art. 2402 of the Italian C ivil Code; b) the procedures used to adopt and implement the Policy.
The update to the Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2026 is due to developments occurring during the year and, in particular, to the new composition of the Board of Directors following the co -optation of Mr. Stefano Porcellini described under the first item on the agenda of this Report, and the consequent opportunity to provide details of the Policy provisions concerning the remuneration of Mr. Stefano Porcellini as Deputy Chief Executive Officer .
Accordingly, on 5 May 2026, the Board of Directors granted certain powers and delegated authorities to Mr.
Stefano Porcellini, appointing him Deputy Chief Executive Officer and qualifying him as a non -independent executive director; furthermore, with effect from 1 June 2026, he has also been performing the duties of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Investor Relations Officer .
His remuneration was approved by the Board of Directors following a proposal by the Remuneration Committee and upon receipt of the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Board of Directors therefore considered it necessary to ensure business continuity by appointing a strategically important executive vested with broad delegated powers and significant responsibilities, while also determining the related remuneration pa ckage.
To this end, pursuant also to Article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Directors, following a proposal by the Remuneration Committee and upon receipt of the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, resolved to grant Mr. Stefano Porcellini the following remuneration package:
(a) fixed annual remuneration of Euro 640,000, pro rata temporis ;
(b) annual variable remuneration equal to a nominal amount of Euro 120,000, pro rata temporis , based on the same KPIs assigned to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities within Governance functions ;
(c) a bonus of Euro 80,000, aimed at facilitating acceptance of the appointment, payable in April 2027 provided that, at that date, the relationship has not been terminated for reasons attributable to Mr. Stefano
Porcellini ;
(d) mileage reimbursement for use of personal vehicle (Euro 0.88/km); and (e) life, accident and D&O insurance coverage.
8
Since the variable component ( MBO ) and the bonus were not contemplated by the Policy, the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors activated the temporary derogation procedure provided for under paragraph 1.6 of the Policy, in accordance with Article 123 -ter, paragraph 3 -bis, of the TUF .
The derogation was assessed in light of the exceptional circumstances connected with the timely replacement of a strategically significant executive and the need to attract a profile capable of pursuing the Company's long -term interests. Specifically, paragraph 1.6 of the Policy identifies among the exceptional circumstances justifying a derogation , «unexpected events that require the replacement of a strategic role and the rapid negotiation of a pay package that is not fully aligned with the guidelines and principles of the Policy, in order to attract the professional profiles best suited to the fulfilment of objectives ».
For the sake of completeness and consistency, the Remuneration Report is being re -submitted in its entirety, including Section II concerning remuneration paid in 2025, which has not been amended and therefore will not be submitted to a vote of the Shareholders' Meeting convened for 12 October 2026 .
Considering that the Policy most recently approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2026 had a one -year term, the Board of Directors submits the new Policy to the Shareholders' Meeting, likewise with a one -year duration (i.e. for financial year 202 6).
For further information regarding the third item on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting, reference is made to the Remuneration Report, including the updated Policy, on which Shareholders are called upon to express their vote, which will be made availab le to the public through the authorized storage mechanism 1info at www.1info.it , on the Company’s website at www.biesse.com under the section " Governance & investors/For investors/Shareholders' meeting 12/10/2026 ", and at the Company's registered office. The Report is attached hereto both in a marked -up version showing the amendments made to the Remuneration Policy ( Annex 2 ) and in a clean version not showing such amendments ( Annex 3 ).
* * * * Accordingly, the Board of Directors submits to the Shareholders' Meeting the following proposed resolution with respect to the third item on the agenda:
“ The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Biesse S.p.A. ,
- having examined the updated version of Section I of the Report on the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Paid approved by the Board of Directors on 9 September 2026, upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee meeting held on 3 September 2026, pursuant t o Article 123 -ter of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 and Article 84 -quater of the Issuers' Regulation adopted by CONSOB Resolution No. 11971/1999, as subsequently amended and supplemented ;
