Remuneration of Mediobanca’s CEO and General Manager

Mediobanca’s CEO and General Manager receive:

• a base salary;
• an annual short-term incentive subject to the gateways established in the policies and linked to the achievement of the quantitative/financial performance and qualitative/non-financial performance indicators in individual scorecards which the Board of Directors approves each year upon the proposal of the Remuneration Committee.
  • Each manager’s scorecard sets performance targets within their respective scope of responsibility. For instance, the targets may refer to risk-adjusted profitability; group revenue or the revenue of certain divisions; the profitability or income generated by the individual areas for which they are responsible. Alternatively, they may coincide with other capitalization, liquidity or new business initiative objectives in line with the guidelines in the strategic plan. These performance targets are weighted according to their materiality determined by the Board and considering the effective degree of decisional autonomy.
  • For the year ended 30 June 2020, to begin transitioning to the long-term incentive plan (see below), the annual performance-based pay for the achievement of quantitative/financial objectives is capped at 150% of the annual base salary, although the Board has the power to adjust the cap upward to 160% in order to reward the achievement of non-financial objectives.
  • 60% of performance-based pay is deferred over five years, with 45% paid in cash and 55% in equity. All deferred pay is subject to the performance targets and malus conditions established in the policies. Half of the up-front component is paid in cash and the other half is paid in Mediobanca shares.
• When it approves the multiannual strategic plan, the Board of Directors may also approve a long-term incentive plan for the CEO and General Manager linked to the achievement of the objectives in the strategic plan.
  
  Based on their individual scorecards, the pay-out for the achievement of quantitative/financial and qualitative/non-financial targets ranges from 20% to 40% of the CEO’s and General Manager’s gross annual base salary for each year of the plan. The final amount at the end of the plan, based on overall performance, is calculated considering each of the targets in the scorecard and their relative weight.
  
  At the end of 2019, the Board of Directors approved the long-term incentive plan linked to the 2019-2023 strategic plan. Learn more
• The CEO and General Manager receive directors’ fees but not for serving on the Board Committees. They also receive third-party liability insurance coverage like the other directors, participate in the supplementary pension fund and are eligible for the Mediobanca group’s other management benefits.
• Until the end of the vesting/holding periods, the CEO is required to hold, even after any stock grants as performance-based pay are effectively vested, a number of Mediobanca shares worth twice the amount of base salary and the General Manager is required to hold shares worth one time such amount (i.e.,  the stock ownership requirement). The equivalent amount of shares – to be reached within five years of the first stock grant – must be held for the entire term of office in order to align senior managers’ interests with those of the shareholders.
