The 2026 MBO Plan provides for the award of a monetary component, as a bonus, and a component based on the free award of rights to receive, also free of charge, ordinary shares of the Company, at a ratio of one (1) ordinary share, with regular dividend rights, for each one (1) vested right, all subject to the achievement of certain performance targets and to the fulfilment of predetermined conditions.

The 2026 MBO Plan is addressed to certain selected Top Managers and key resources of the MAIRE Group companies who may also serve as members of the Board of Directors or the Management Board thereof. The Plan is intended, in particular, to: (i) ensure increased alignment of management’s interests with the pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company and the MAIRE Group, through long-term value creation for Shareholders and Stakeholders; (ii) maintain the alignment of the Group’s most critical profiles with corporate objectives; (iii) ensure continuity in engagement and retention of the MBO Plan’s beneficiaries in the long term, while preserving market competitiveness of remuneration; and (iv) maintain consistency of incentive systems with the Company’s strategic evolution.

Subject to approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting, the 2026 MBO Plan will provide for the award of a monetary bonus whose vesting is linked to the achievement of specific annual performance targets (“Performance Targets”) measured over the period from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026, based on parameters such as: cash flow, EBITDA, an ESG-related target, and individual objectives.

The bonus will be paid as follows: (i) a first portion equal to 60% will be paid following the Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the statutory financial statements and to acknowledge the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2026; (ii) the remaining 40% will be paid in four (4) equal annual instalments (each therefore equal to 10% of the vested bonus) over a period of 48 months starting from the payment date of the first instalment under point (i), respectively 12, 24, 36, and 48 months from such date, subject to the fulfilment of the “payment conditions” applicable to the 2026 MBO Plan, which will include, inter alia, the satisfaction of certain balance-sheet parameters to be verified at the payment date of each relevant instalment.

Only if the Performance Targets are achieved overall at a level of at least 110%, rights to receive MAIRE ordinary shares will be awarded in an amount equal to 25% of the bonus at target level. The number of rights to be awarded to each beneficiary will be determined on the basis of such value and a predetermined MAIRE share price.

The rights granted will vest at the end of a 48‑month vesting period starting from their award date, subject to the fulfilment of the “vesting conditions”, which will include, inter alia, the satisfaction of certain balance-sheet and operating cash generation parameters to be verified at the end of the aforementioned vesting period.

MAIRE shares, if and to the extent the related rights have vested, will be delivered during 2031, therefore after the Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the statutory financial statements and to acknowledge the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of 31 December 2030.
