A fixed remuneration is allocated to each of the members of the board of directors, as determined annually at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders.

In addition to the fixed wage determined at the general assembly, the members assigned to carry out certain functions in order to contribute to the activities of the company can also be provided with additional benefits due to the function they assume within the framework of the opinion of the Corporate Governance Committee. The president and members of the Executive Committee, which will support the Company’s Board of Directors in all matters related to the operations of the Company, may be remunerated at the end of each year for their contributions, their participation in meetings and on the basis of the functions they serve, in an amount determined by the board of directors within the framework of the opinion set forth by the Corporate Governance Committee. If a payment has been made to the members of the Executive Committee during the year, this amount shall be set off at the end of the year from the determined amount. The performance-based payment plans of the Company may not be used in the remuneration of independent members of the board of directors.
