Remuneration Policy and Report

LETTER OF THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE APPOINTMENTS AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

Dear shareholders,

As Chairperson of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (the "Committee"), I am pleased to submit for your attention Elica's 2024 Remuneration Policy and Report.

The Committee - which in 2023 comprised Directors Angelo Catapano, Monica Nicolini, Liliana Fratini Passi and Susanna Zucchelli, in addition to the undersigned - has drafted and submitted to the Board of Directors a Remuneration Policy which is designed to strengthen the alignment between the interests of Stakeholders and those of Management. It also seeks to support the continuous improvement in individual and company performance and the consequent creation of value over the medium to long term, in line with the indications of the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies.

The year's financial results were in line with expectations despite a sharply contracting market. The Company continued to perform well despite the challenges presented by an unstable macroeconomic environment that has been hit hard by inflation over the past two years and geopolitical tensions. Adjusted EBITDA stood at a 10.2% margin on revenues, remaining stable from the previous year. Adjusted EBIT was Euro 24.3 million, with a 5.1% margin on revenues, thus maintaining significant strength despite the lower revenues caused by reduced demand. The Company also expanded its direct presence in American distribution by acquiring Canadian distributor AG International, further strengthening its position in the American market. Elica will present its new product proposals for the cooking world at the upcoming EuroCucina / FTK 2024 event, confirming its ongoing commitment to offering innovative, quality solutions and continuing to expand its range.

These results confirm the strength of a cohesive team of men and women who have been clear about their goals and taken all the necessary measures to achieve them.

The company's strategy to enhance the value of its human resources is based on a people strategy that ensures the company has the necessary response tools to develop rapid solutions to increasingly complex problems, while simultaneously ensuring the growth and enhancement of all employees.

The Company's mission as regards People focuses on its ability to attract staff who fit Elica's corporate culture, promoting internal growth, recognising merit and improving motivation. To achieve these goals, during the year the Company introduced policies and actions that are consistent with these strategic pillars, by strengthening and simplifying the present performance measurement and rewarding policies.

Despite the challenging economic environment, which also necessitated the use of temporary flexibility solutions, the Company continued to invest in employee growth. 2023 saw the introduction of a new Performance Development system focused on behavioural drivers linked to current and future challenges for Elica. The system seeks to encourage self- development by promoting greater management accountability for employee growth and by strengthening the processes for succession planning, which are always monitored by the Company. A major training plan involving all company employees, both at headquarters and in the production plants, was also carried out in 2023, focusing on innovation and reskilling.

This important shift in the Company's people management systems over the past three years, along with the need to be more effective and quicker in responding to ongoing market challenges, led to a review of internal reward systems. This involved simplifying processes and systems and adopting more flexible and agile tools, which bring together long-term professional growth and short-term specific rewards in the event of extraordinary performance. An annual incentive system ("MBO") has therefore been designed which is consistent with the general principles that underpin the entire Policy. The main focus of the system is to orientate the work of all management towards strategic objectives, stimulating the achievement of excellent performance through the payment of a higher bonus in the event of overperformance. All incentives are, however, at all times linked to a Group threshold gate that guarantees sustainability.

The 2024 Remuneration Policy will continue to focus strongly on Stakeholder objectives that are in line with strategic goals and corporate values, but will also continue to be attentive to promoting a culture of equality and performance incentives. As part of its role, the Committee devoted a significant portion of its work in 2023 to the means of identifying, verifying and

enacting the remuneration policy, making an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement through comparison with market best practices and within the framework of total adherence to current regulatory reference points.

In addition to optimising the systems that determine the variable component of management remuneration ("MBO") particular attention was paid to establishing sustainability-linked remuneration proposals also for the Company's Executive Directors.

In 2023, the Committee also worked on developing a long-term incentive plan (2024-2026) for the Chief Executive Officer, top management, and certain employees in key roles. The objective of this plan is to engage and motivate the team to achieve the targets of a particularly challenging three-year plan.

As it has always done, the Committee firmly believes that this document is an essential tool for clear and transparent communication of the Remuneration Policy to the market and investors, highlighting the role of the Policy in pursuing business strategy.

This report, prepared in accordance with Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998, as amended, regarding transparency in the remuneration of Directors of listed companies, was adopted by the Board of Directors, which approved its contents on March 14, 2024. In compliance with the changes introduced by Legislative Decree No. 49 of May 10, 2019, the first section of this Report, which outlines the Remuneration Policy, will be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting for a binding vote, while the second section on remuneration paid in 2023 will be submitted to the same Shareholders' Meeting for an advisory vote.

Confident that this Report reflects the Committee's commitment to the pursuit of increasingly clear, transparent, and effective communication of the Remuneration Policy and Report to all Stakeholders, I thank you for your endorsement and support of these policies.

Remuneration Policy and Report

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Elica business strategy and key results

The three-year period 2021-2023 was a highly significant time for Elica, as the Company set itself apart as the key player in a Turnaround Project. During the period, Elica undertook a series of initiatives to improve margins and competitiveness in a complex global environment featuring a significant contraction in demand and high levels of inflation.

Thanks to a robust team, rapid execution and clarity of vision, Elica not only managed to protect its margins, but also launched major initiatives in the fields of products, distribution and communication. These initiatives are the foundation on which Elica will build its future developments.

Specifically, Elica's future priorities can be summarised as follows:

  • Focus on sales, extending the Cooking Elica Brand range and strengthening the Motors BU, in terms of the technical and commercial development of products for the energy transition.
  • Efficient cost management without compromising initiatives that generate a return in medium- to long-term growth.
  • Maintaining a sound financial position.
  • Focus on creating long-term value for shareholders.

Against this backdrop, Elica's Remuneration Policy, as a fundamental tool in pursuing medium-/long-term strategic objectives, pays particular attention to both short and medium-long-term incentive plans and is based on a strong alignment of the performance indicators with the pillars of the strategy.
