Etica Sgr’s voting

For the following items, Etica Sgr did not vote according to management recommendations:

2. Allocation of profits and losses for the year; inherent and consequent resolutions.

Etica Sgr abstained, because the dividend payout ratio was significantly higher than the benchmark threshold considered in relation to the provisions of the Engagement Policy.

4.Authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares following the revocation of the previous authorisation resolved by the Shareholders’ Meeting on 21 April 2020

Etica Sgr voted against because not all of the criteria specified in the Engagement Policy were satisfied. In particular, the shares held could potentially exceed the threshold of 10% of the share capital.

6.2.Report on the remuneration policy and compensation paid pursuant to Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 Section II: 2020 compensation and remuneration

Etica Sgr voted against because not all aspects of the Engagement Policy were respected. In particular, a possible misalignment between the remuneration granted and the company’s performance was noted for a peer group identified by the proxy advisor.

Other items on the Agenda

On the remaining items on the agenda, Etica SGR voted in favour, since they are consistent with the Etica SGR Engagement Policy.
