Pay Mix CEO / MSRs

The remuneration package of the Executive Directors and other MSRs of the Group is structured as follow:

  • a significant portion is linked to the achievement of predetermined results (pay for performance);
  • a significant portion of the variable component is deferred over time;
  • variable remuneration is largely paid in shares, with a portion of the award subject to lock-up restrictions.

CEO

 

Two-thirds of the CEO's total remuneration at target is variable based on performance and three-quarters at maximum

 

More than 50% of the CEO's total remuneration is paid in shares in the medium to long term (3-5 years), consistent with the economic and financial sustainability of the performance achieved

Short-term variable remuneration 2026 (ex-ante disclosure)

The Group’s MBO Plan, extended to approximately 3,000 managers and key personnel at global level, generally includes four types of objectives connected to income and cash generation, ROCE and/or costs/efficiencies management (or other specific objectives relating to each company function) and sustainability/ESG.

Access condition: The Plan provides for an access condition defined in line with the management plan and applied to all participants in the incentive scheme:

  • if the threshold level of the access condition is not reached, the scheme is not activated and no incentives are paid;
  • if the target level of the access condition is reached, the scheme is activated with no penalties;
  • in case of intermediate results, the overall incentive is reduced up to 30% for the CEO and the positions directly reporting to him, including Executive Directors and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities;

2026 MBO SCORECARD

The objectives of the CEO are represented by the following scheme:

pic2

The incentive amount is calculated as follows:

  • at the target level (100 points): 80% of fixed remuneration for the CEO and 50/60% for the other Executive Directors and MSRs;
  • at the maximum level (150 points): 120% of fixed remuneration for the CEO and 75/90% for the other Executive Directors and MSRs(cap);
  • at the threshold (50 points), the value of the incentive is equal to 50% of the target level;
  • below 50 points: incentive is not paid.
  • Intermediate results between threshold/target and target/maximum: results are calculated by linear interpolation

For the 2026 financial year, the MBO scorecard of the CFO is the same as the CEO’s. For the other MSRs, the Adjusted EBITDA objective is related to the Segment/Region of direct responsibility, the second objective is the Group/Segment/Region Net Financial Debt, and the function specific objective is represented by Organic Growth and/or Fixed Costs, thus limiting the risk of overlap of targets between short-term and long-term incentive plans.

 

ESG KPIS IN MBO 2026 PLAN

 

In 2026 Prysmian confirms the inclusion of ESG targets within the short-term incentive systems, in line with the Group’s sustainability strategy and reflecting stakeholders’ expectations. The 2026 MBO scorecard foresees that 20% of the bonus is linked to the following two objectives:

  • A Safety objective, represented by the Severity Rate (SR), which measures the seriousness of injuries, defined by the standard formula: number of lost days / hours worked * 200,000. The index will be measured at Group and Region/Segment level. In the event of a fatal accident, the calculation of the Severity Rate will in any case consider an additional number of hours equal to 7,500 days, regardless of local regulatory requirements.
  • An objective linked to the environmental dimension, measured through an indicator, % recycled content over addressable materials, connected to circular economy principles and specifically to the use of the following recycled materials: plastics for jacketing, copper, steel and lead. Compared to 2025, there is an expansion in the types of materials considered.

In the event of a fatal accident during the performance period, the bonus linked to the both ESG measures is zeroed out, regardless of the performance achieved. The zeroing applies to those who have been assigned the safety objective related to the Group and to the Region/Segmenet where the accident occurred.
