Safilo S p A : Report on the Remuneration Policy and on the Remuneration

About this update from Safilo Group S.p.a.
REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY AND ON THE REMUNERATION PAID (Report drafted pursuant to Article 123- ter of the TUF and Article 84- quater of Consob Regulation No. 11971) SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING April 28, 2026 Letter from the Chairperson of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Dear Shareholders , It is with pleasure that I, as Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and on its behalf as well as of the Board of Directors, submit for your attention the report on the "Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid" of Safilo Group S.p.A. The Policy, in compliance with the Company's governance model, applicable regulations and the recommendations of Borsa Italiana's Code of Corporate Governance, aims at contributing to increasing stakeholder awareness about the consistency of the Company's remuneration policies with corporate strategies, within an increasingly complex context and in the face of the new challenges that Safilo faces with the commitment of its top management. To this aim, the effort of the Company, the Committee and the Board of Directors have focused on improving this Report, as primary means of communication on the topic of remuneration with our stakeholders, providing an increasingly clear, complete and transparent picture of the application of the Remuneration Policy of the 2025 financial year. This has considered, among other things, the indications received as part of the engagement activity that, also in the past financial year, was held with investors and proxy advisors. 2025 was a year in which Safilo confirmed its solidity, discipline and execution capabilities, achieving significant economic and financial results despite a complex global environment. In this framework, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee has continued to work to ensure that the Group's remuneration structure remained aligned with the results achieved, strategic objectives and longterm sustainability principles. Within this framework, the Committee devoted particular attention to the evolution of variable incentive instruments, with the objective of consolidating an increasingly consistent framework taking into account best market practices and investors' expectations. In this context, a new Performance Share Plan 2026-2028 will replace the current Option Plan and be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting. The Plan is a long-term share-based incentive structured on a rolling basis with three-year vesting periods. The effective vesting of the shares will be subject to the achievement of predefined and measurable economic and financial performance objectives, with gate and cap mechanisms designed to safeguard the robustness of the system. The Committee believes that this instrument represents a further step in the evolution of the Policy, strengthening the link between remuneration and value creation and fostering closer alignment with Shareholders' interests. At the same time, the 2026 Policy confirms the integration of ESG objectives within the incentive framework, recognizing sustainability as a strategic lever for the Group. Specific relevance is attributed to the target relating to the percentage of sustainable models within new collections, a KPI directly connected to the product strategy and to the progressive transformation of Safilo's offering towards lower environmental impact solutions. This indicator does not represent an ancillary element, it rather constitutes a concrete measure of the evolution of the Group's business model and its ability to integrate innovation, environmental responsibility and customer value. Consistently with this strategic direction, the long-term monetary incentive plan (LTIP) includes, among its parameters, specific environmental targets linked to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering both direct and indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 1 and Scope 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3). The integration of these indicators into the incentive system reflects the Committee's intention to structurally oversee the Group's key climate impact drivers, promoting responsible management and supporting the transition towards operating and manufacturing models with lower emissions intensity. Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my fellow Committee members for their commitment throughout the year. The constructive dialogue and collaboration within the Committee enabled us to address the challenges arising from an ever-evolving environment. I trust that the dedication shown and the attention devoted to the Group's Remuneration Policy will translate into broad support at the forthcoming Shareholders' Meeting. Yours sincerely, Cinzia Morelli-Verhoog, Chairperson of Safilo's Remuneration and Nomination Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Remuneration Policy 2026 Remuneration element Purpose Conditions for implementation Amounts / Values % Fixed Remuneration Remuneration component defined in a manner congruous with respect, on a case-by-case basis, to the proxies and to specific offices and to the strategic role and responsibilities assigned It is defined based on the positioning resulting from the comparison with the reference market.

Determination of Policy and Remuneration and Working Conditions of Safilo Group Employees The Policy consists of tools and logics, applied to the entire company population, aimed at attracting, motivating and retaining people with the professional skills necessary to contribute to the definition of the growth strategy and to the strengthening of the Company's long-term interests aimed at creating sustainable value, also through ESG objectives that the Company has set to achieve and of which disclosure is given as part of the Sustainability Statement. In particular, it is based on the principles of fairness, equal opportunities, meritocracy and competitiveness in relation to the market. In defining the remuneration policy, the Company has therefore taken into account the remuneration and working conditions of its employees. In particular, the criterion for the definition of the economic package, parameterized to professional capabilities, the organizational role held and the responsibilities attributed, is aimed, among other things, at determining the remuneration of the members of the corporate bodies and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities in a harmonious way and consistent with the working conditions of the employees, always from the point of view of maximum objectivity, in order to avoid any form of discrimination or unjustified imbalance. In addition, the salaries of the Company's employees are systematically verified and analyzed with appropriate comparison tools based on factors such as the sector in which the company operates, the role played, seniority and the market of work. The Company also ensures a safe, functional and pleasant work environment, working methods that facilitate effective and efficient collaboration, including smart working where possible, and training in line with business priorities that facilitates the evolution of knowledge and skills as well as opportunities for growth. Inspiring principles of the remuneration policy and its purposes, duration and any changes with respect to the remuneration policy last submitted to the shareholders' meeting and how this revision takes into account the votes and evaluations expressed by the shareholders during such meeting or subsequently The Company sets out and applies a remuneration policy designed to attract, motivate and retain, for all key positions and functions, highly competent resources, so as to maintain proper professional standards within a highly competitive market. The objective of this Policy, and particularly the Policy regarding the variable components, is to align management's and shareholders' interests, by pursuing the primary aim of creating sustainable value in the medium-long term, through the implementation of a strong relation between remuneration, on one side, and individual and Group's performance, on the other side. In particular, this Policy, has been drawn up with a view to guaranteeing a generally balanced remuneration structure, through a proper balance between fixed and variable components, in order to guide the achievement of performance according to the levers related to the Company role without inducing risky and short-term oriented behaviour as well as to ensure that the remuneration systems are not in contrast with the Company values, the strategies and the creation of sustainable value in the medium to long term and prudent risk management policies. The Policy, in accordance with the purposes outlined above, is based on the following criteria: definition of limits for variable components; determination of the fixed component defined in a congruous manner, on a case by case basis, with respect to the proxies and to specific offices and to the strategic role and responsibilities assigned; predetermination and measurability of performance targets related to the payment of variable components; in particular, the performance objectives are: priority objectives, as they are directly connected to the Company's medium-long term strategy; measurable, as assessed with clear and predefined indicators; realistic, as considered achievable although challenging and ambitious; defined temporally, as they are placed within a specific time dimension; aimed at promoting sustainable success; creation of a direct link between remuneration and performance through mechanisms that establish the payment of different levels of premiums linked to partial, total or overachievement of objectives; provision, for the company population receiving short and long-term variable remuneration components, of ex post correction mechanisms (clawback and malus); prediction of overall contribution levels able to recognize the professional value of people and their contribution to the creation of sustainable value in the short and medium-long term. These principles are incorporated and implemented concretely within the management remuneration structure, within the incentive systems. In this regard, please see paragraph 6.

In order to ensure continuous dialogue with shareholders and to facilitate their involvement in defining the guidelines of the Company's Remuneration Policy and, at the same time, to maintain the necessary flexibility to promptly respond to present and future needs, this Policy has an annual duration and will be followed for at least the next financial year (2026). Regarding the remuneration paid, the remuneration policy provides for the monitoring of market trends with reference to practices in terms of remuneration. The comparison with the market is made using analysis developed by independent companies specialized in the subject or through the study and analysis of the information present on the market. This benchmarking activity is useful for evaluating the competitiveness of the compensation packages offered to attract and retain the most talented people on the market. Shareholder Engagement Activity At its 2025 Annual General Meeting, the Group's remuneration policy and remuneration report was supported by 85.3% of the voting shareholders, while 14.7% expressed a vote against, with a slight increase of the votes in favor, standing at 79,1% at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. The improvement recorded in 2025 is probably attributable to the effectiveness of the measures identified and progressively implemented in previous financial years in response to the concerns voiced by investors and proxy advisors on the level of disclosure and the overall design of Safilo's remuneration report and policy. In this framework, the Group has formulated and implemented an action plan structured into specific measures and commitments, aimed at allowing shareholders to better assess the links between remuneration, performance and performance objectives. In particular, a new incentive plan will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting, in line with the objective of strengthening the alignment between remuneration and medium- to longterm improved results. PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN 2026-2028 In continuity with the recommendations received from market stakeholders and in line with best practices, the Company has introduced a new long-term share-based variable incentive plan (Performance Share Plan). The Plan aims to strengthen the link between management remuneration and value creation , ensuring greater alignment with shareholders' interests and supporting the retention of key individuals. Structured on a rolling basis, the Plan provides for the grant of shares at no consideration, subject to a three-year vesting period. A portion of the vested shares will also be subject to a one-year lock-up period following vesting. Remuneration policies 2026 In order to correctly define the Remuneration Policy and the remuneration package, fixed and variable (short and long term), cash or equity of the Chief Executive Officer, Managers with Strategic Responsibilities as well as the management, the Company, with the support of specialized consultants periodically carries out a remuneration benchmark analysis. As anticipated, ex post correction mechanisms (clawback and malus) are also provided for the company population receiving short and long-term variable remuneration components. The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) In line with the framework defined upon the renewal of the mandate for 2024-2026 period, the Chief Executive Officer's remuneration is composed by the Total Annual Compensation and, therefore, by: a gross annual fixed component (including the remuneration for the office of Executive Director, the remuneration for the office of member of the Board of Directors as resolved upon by the Shareholders' Meeting and an additional gross annual fixed component as manager of the Group); a variable component defined within maximum limits and aimed at remunerating expected short and medium/long-term performance, in monetary form or through equity instruments, subject to predetermined performance conditions. At the time of the approval of the Policy by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer is the recipient of short-term (so-called STAR) and medium-long-term (so-called LTI Plans) monetary incentive plans. The Chief Executive Officer is also included among the recipients of the compensation plan based on financial instruments pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF, in the form of Stock Option (2017-2020 Plan, 2020-2022 Plan and 2023-2025 Plan), as well as of the new Performance Share Plan (Performance Share Plan 2026-2028), subject to its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 28 April 2026. CEO'S PAYMIX TARGET AND MAXIMUM Target Maximum 22% 25% 28% 25% 50% 50% Massimo Note: the long-term variable component refers to the sum of the annualized value of the LTIP plan, equal to € 1,000,000, the fair value of the options referred to 2026 related to the tranches currently in vesting, and the estimated annualized Performance Share Plan 2026-2028 subject to approval by the Shareholders' Meeting. Fixed component With reference to the fixed component of the Chief Executive Officer, this is defined in a congruous way with respect to the delegations and particular offices and strategic responsibilities assigned, taking into account benchmark analyses and the prior opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, as well as that of the Board of Statutory Auditors. An overall fixed remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer is envisaged as follows: the gross annual emolument of Euro 600,000 - in relation to the office of Chief Executive Officer. the gross annual emolument of EUR 400,000 - as a manager, which includes a 20% aimed at compensating the "non-competition" covenant. Short-term variable component The STAR allows an evaluation of the beneficiary's performance on a yearly basis, linking it with the performance of the Group. The STAR targets for the Chief Executive Officer are set by the Board of Directors upon the proposal of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and are connected to the yearly financial performance of the Group, to which non-financial strategic objectives have also been added, starting from 2022. The actual value to be paid is determined based on the level of achievement of these objectives. With regard to the weight of the objectives, the 2026 remuneration policy is in line with the previous 2025 remuneration policy. OBJECTIVES WEIGHT Group Net Sales 40% Group Ebitda 50% ESG : % of Sustainable models on new collection 10% TOTAL 100% Regarding the 'ESG target', it refers to one sustainability target that ensures a direct link between the short-term incentive system and the company's sustainability strategy. The sustainability target address one strategic area for the Group: product (sustainable models). Each target is assessed independently (therefore, failure to achieve a target does not preclude the payment of the portion of STAR, in case of achievement of the others). 100% 125% 150% 125% 100% 75% 50% 25% 0% Min 100% Max Performance (% vs. target) BONUS (% vs. target) In relation to the financial targets, the payout changes depending on the target's achievement of a minimum, a target or a maximum level. Below the minimum level, the relative payout does not accrue; starting from the minimum level, the payout is increased proportionally, up to a maximum of 125%, in case of performance between the target level and the maximum level. Non-financial target can only be achieved at the target level, and therefore if the level of achievement is below the target, no payout will be earned. If the achievement level is at the target, the payout is increased proportionally, considering the achievement level of the adjusted Ebitda. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee then checks the year after, the performance of the Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of verifying the achievement of the STAR targets in the year before. Medium-long term variable component The long-term component of the variable remuneration includes various incentive plans, already approved as part of the Company's previous remuneration policies (as well as, in the case of plans based on financial instruments, pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF). In particular, the following are in the process of: (i) exercise period, the Stock Option Plan (2017-2020), (ii) exercise period, the Stock Option Plan (2020-2022), (iii) the Stock Option Plan (2023-2025) [the first tranche may be exercised from March 26, 2026]. In addition to these, there is the Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan (2024-2026), as described below, and a new Performance Share Plan (2026-2028) will be submitted for the approval to the Shareholders' Meeting of Safilo to be held on 28 April 2026, aimed at incentivising and retaining the management of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. The Company's decision to adopt long-term incentive plans structured across multiple instruments − the Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan (LTIP), the Stock Option Plans (SOP) and the Performance Share Plan (PSP) − is aimed at ensuring a solid and lasting alignment between the interests of beneficiaries and those of investors, through mechanisms that are complementary to each other and consistent with best market practices. The LTIP has the main purpose of incentivising Top Management and part of the management to achieve specific performance KPIs, closely linked to the strategic priorities that the Group has shared with the market − sales growth, profitability, cash generation and sustainability objectives − thereby ensuring a direct link between remuneration and multi-year operating results. The SOP is aimed at further aligning interests, by granting options whose value is directly linked to the appreciation of the Company's share price over the time. Finally, the introduction of PSP enhances the incentive framework through a performance-based equity instrument, subject to the achievement of predefined and measurable objectives, thereby strengthening the correlation between remuneration and medium- to long-term improved results. Long-Term Monetary Incentive Plan The Chief Executive Officer has been granted a 3-year monetary long-term incentive program (" LTIP ") (for the reference period January 2024 - December 2026). The LTIP Payment shall be made in two instalments: (i) 60% within April 2026 based on the results for the financial years 2024 and 2025 approved by the Board of Directors (" First Cash Payout "); (ii) within April 2027, the remaining 40% of the amount accrued in relation to the financial years 2024 and 2025 (deferred bonus), as well as the amount accrued based on the results for the financial year 2026 approved by the Board of Directors (" Second Cash Payout "). The payment of the First and Second Cash Payout is subject to the following conditions (i) achievement of identified Group targets; and (ii) the corporate office of Chief Executive Officer of Safilo Group S.p.A. is in force when the First and Second Cash Payout become due and payable (without prejudice to the provisions of Paragraph g below). Compared to the previous long-term incentive plan, taking into account the strategic relevance for the Company in the long term, the following sustainability objectives were introduced among the parameters of the plan. ESG OBJECTIVES WEIGHT Planet: GHG Scope 1&2 25% Planet : GHG Scope 3 25% Product: % of Sustainable models on new collection 50% The level of payout changes depending on the target achievement of a minimum or a maximum level, to be assessed independently for each objective (therefore, failure to achieve an objective does not preclude the payment of the portion of payout, in case of achievement of the others). Below the minimum target for each objective, the relative payout does not accrue; starting from the minimum level, the payout is increased proportionally, up to a maximum of 125%, in case of performance between the target level and the maximum level. 100% 125% 150% 125% 100% 75% 50% 25% 0% Min 100% Max Performance (% vs. target) BONUS (% vs. target) With regard to the First Cash Payout, on March 12, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the results for the 2025 financial year: the targets assigned to the Chief Executive Officer were equal to 30.4% of the target value set out in the plan and, as a result, the First Cash Payout, equal to 60% of the amount accrued under the LTIP, will be paid to the Chief Executive Officer by April 2026. Stock Option Plans The Stock Option Plans substantially consist of the free assignment of option rights for the subscription of Safilo ordinary shares. The rights assigned to each beneficiary accrue only if predetermined access conditions and, where present, a performance objective, are met, and can then be exercised in a deferred period of time, as described in the Company's previous remuneration policies and related explanatory documents. The details of these plans are illustrated in the illustrative reports and information documents published in accordance with the law on the Company's website ( https://www.safilogroup.com ). Stock Option Plan 2023-2025 The Shareholders' Meeting approved on 27 April 2023, upon proposal of the Board of Directors, after the favourable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, the retention and incentive plan "Stock Option Plan 2023-2025 of Safilo Group S.p.A. and Safilo S.p.A.", linked to the appreciation of the value of the Shares on Euronext Milan. As in previous years, the Group believes that this system ensures full and constant alignment between the interests of the management and those of the shareholders, being naturally linked to the growth in value of Safilo's shares. The plan provides for the free assignment of a maximum of 22,000,000 options valid for the assignment of a maximum of 22,000,000 ordinary shares, at a ratio of 1 (one) ordinary share for every 1 (one) option awarded and exercised pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan. In addition to the employee's retention purposes, the 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan is also implemented to offer incentives to the same beneficiaries, through the use of an instrument aimed at aligning beneficiaries and shareholders' economic interest towards a common goal of share price increase. The Exercise Price shall be equal to the average weighted by volume of the daily Official Prices of the Shares for the preceding month leading up to the day on which the Board of Directors determines the number of Options to be assigned under the 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan. The 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan includes a total time horizon of approximately 10 years (2023-2033): this timeframe was judged to be the most suitable for achieving the aimed retention and incentive purposes and to focus the beneficiaries' attention on the medium-long term factors of strategic success of the Group. In particular, the options under the plan may be granted in no more than three tranches. TRANCHE 1 EXERCISE PERIOD VESTING PERIOD 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Lock-up equal to 10% of the awarded options for a period of time having a variable duration depending on the date in which the options related to each tranche are exercised pursuant to the plan regulations 2028 2029 2030 2031 VESTING PERIOD TRANCHE 2 EXERCISE PERIOD 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 VESTING PERIOD TRANCHE 3 EXERCISE PERIOD 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 The 2017-2020 Stock Option Plan and the 2020-2022 Stock Option Plan do not contain any clauses for the retention of the shares after their acquisition, considering that they cover a long period of time (as they provide for a vesting period of three years and a further five-year period for the possible exercise of the options). The 2023-2025 Stock Option Plan includes provisions for holding the financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition. In particular, the Chief Executive Officer and the Managers with Strategic Responsibility of the Company shall hold on a continuous basis a number of shares equal to 10% of the awarded options (the " Relevant Shares ") for a period of time having a variable duration depending on the date in which the options related to each tranche are exercised pursuant to the plan regulations, except in the case of termination of the relationship with the Company as specified below. More specifically, the lock-up period will expire at the 24 th month from the first date in which the options become exercisable. The Relevant Shares subject to the lock-up period are therefore subject to an inalienable restriction until the above deadline has expired, unless differently authorized in writing by the Board of Directors, subject to the favorable opinion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The lock-up restriction shall cease on the date of the termination of (i) the executive corporate relationship with the Company, in case of the Chief Executive Officer or (ii) the employment relationship with the Company, in case of the Managers with Strategic Responsibility. The assignment of the options is free of charge. The Beneficiaries shall therefore not be required to pay any consideration to each Grantor for such assignment. Any exercise of the options and the related subscription or purchase of the Shares will be instead conditioned upon the payment of the Exercise Price. The Company shall award options to Beneficiaries who are its own employees and/or employees of other companies within the Group and Safilo shall award options to Beneficiaries (already identified by the Company) who are its own employees and/or employees of any of its Subsidiaries. The Shares serving the Plan shall derive from (i) the shares' issuance in cash up to a maximum number of 11,000,000 ordinary Shares, with exclusion of the pre-emption right pursuant to Article 2441, Paragraph 8 of the Italian Civil Code and (ii) the Buyback5. Assuming that all the options to be served through newly issued Shares have been assigned and exercised, the maximum dilution effect for the shareholders of the Company would be approximately equal to 2.60% of their shareholding. Performance Share Plan 2026-2028 The Chief Executive Officer is among the beneficiaries of the new long-term share-based incentive plan ("PSP"), which will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 28 April 2026. The introduction of the Performance Share Plan is intended to align the Company's long-term incentive framework with best practices among listed companies. In particular, the structure of the plan is designed to ensure a more effective balance between retention and incentive objectives, strengthening the Company's ability to retain key management while maintaining a strong performance orientation within the overall remuneration structure. The share plan is structured into three annual grants of shares (so-called rolling plan), each of which is associated with a three-year performance period (2026-2028, 2027-2029, 2028-2030). For each grant, the free allocation of the Company's ordinary shares at the end of the three-year vesting period is subject to: (i) the continuation of the employment relationship and (ii) the achievement of the relevant performance conditions. The effective vesting of the shares is conditional upon the achievement of economic and financial performance targets. 5 For more information on the BuyBack please refer to the press releases published on 24 April 2024 - The Shareholders' meeting of Safilo Group S.p.a. approves the financial statements as at december 31, 2023 and appoints the new board of directors. OBJECTIVES WEIGHT Group Ebitda 60% Group Net Sales 40% TOTAL 100% The plan provides for: the vesting of 50% of the number of Target Shares if the Performance achieved is equal to or higher than the Threshold (Gate) in at least one of the three financial years included in the vesting period; the vesting of 100% of the number of Target Shares if the Performance achieved is equal to or higher than the Target (Cap) in at least one of the three financial years included in the vesting period; The Performance achieved will be determined by taking the highest value recorded in one of the three financial years included in the vesting period; if this value falls between the Threshold and the Target, the number of Shares allocated will be determined through linear interpolation, at a rate greater than 50% and lower than 100%. The table below graphically illustrates the percentage of shares to be assigned to each beneficiary upon achievement of each performance target. In accordance with the Plan Regulations, payouts must be made no later than the 30 th calendar day following approval of the consolidated financial statements for the last financial year of the three-year cycle and always upon fulfilment of the conditions set out in the Plan Regulations. The 2026-2028 Performance Share Plan includes provisions for the retention of financial instruments in the portfolio after their acquisition. Specifically, 30% of the Assigned Shares will be subject to a 12-month lock-up period. During the lock-up period, beneficiaries will not be able to dispose of the shares or any monetary amounts allocated to them, except for any amounts transferred to cover tax and/or social security contributions, if applicable. VESTING PERIOD LOCK-UP Lock-up equal to 30% of the shares granted for a period of 12 months CYCLE 1 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 VESTING PERIOD LOCK-UP CYCLE 2 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 VESTING PERIOD LOCK-UP CYCLE 3 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 For further information on the Performance Share Plan, reference is made to the relevant Information Document prepared pursuant to Articles 114-bis of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation, in accordance with the provisions set out in Schedule 7 of Annex 3A to the Issuers' Regulation, available on the Company's website. Malus and Clawback clauses Without prejudice to any other action that may be available under applicable law, the Company may (i) demand the restitution, in whole or in part (clawback) or (ii) withhold, in whole or in part (malus), variable components, whether short or long term, of remuneration that are determined on the basis of data subsequently found to be manifestly erroneous, or resulting from a wilful alteration or falsification of the data used for such determination, including through conduct in breach of applicable laws and/or internal company rules (including violations of the organisational, management and control model and the Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, or internal procedures of the Company or of the Group companies). Such mechanisms may also apply in the event of conduct that has resulted in a significant loss for the Company, any Group company or the Safilo Group as a whole, or in the event of fraudulent conduct or gross negligence to the detriment of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Safilo Group. Exceptional bonuses and other remuneration The Policy does not provide for any additional remuneration to be awarded to the Chief Executive Officer for his possible activity as a director of subsidiaries. Non-monetary benefits In line with the market, the remuneration package of the Chief Executive Officer shall include some benefits, which are an integral part thereof. These consist primarily of assignment of a company car for mixed use and housing. Treatment in the event of termination of office or termination of employment On 3 November 2023, the Company signed an agreement with the current Chief Executive Officer aimed, inter alia, to settle ex ante the economic aspects relating to any early termination of the mandate (a) at the Company's initiative without just cause, or (b) at the initiative of the same Chief Executive Officer in the event of (x) a change of control in the Company, of (y) non-compliance by the Company with the obligation to pay a significant portion of the remuneration or bonus due to him as Chief Executive Officer or Manager or of (z) the Company's withdrawal from the employment contract without cause.

With reference to this plan, the agreement provides that in the event of his early termination from the office: as a consequence of (x) the termination by the Company without cause or (y) the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer for good reason, before the First Cash Payout becomes due and payable, the Chief Executive Officer will receive, subject to the occurrence of certain conditions (the " Conditions "), a prorated First Cash Payout in proportion to the actual period of service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company in years 2024 and 2025; while the Second Cash Payout will be entirely forfeited; as a consequence of (x) the termination by the Company without cause or (y) the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer for good reason before the Second Cash Payout becomes due and payable, the Chief Executive Officer will receive, subject to the occurrence of the Conditions, a prorated Second Cash Payout in proportion to the actual period of service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company in the year 2026; "Conditions" mean (x) the achievement of the identified Group targets, and (y) the execution of a settlement agreement containing full waivers of the Chief Executive Officer vis-à-vis the Company in connection with the LTIP; in any other case of early termination of the corporate office, any rights and payments under the LTIP will be entirely forfeited; the payment of the First Pro Rata Cash Payout and the Second Pro Rata Cash Payout, to the extent actually accrued, is subject to and conditional upon the achievement of the identified targets; therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of the First Pro Rata Cash Payout and the Second Pro Rata Cash Payout, if due, will only occur after the Board of Directors' approval of the audited results for 2024-2025 and 2026, respectively.
