DiaSorin – AGM 10 june 2020

The following concerns arise over DiaSorin's remuneration policy:

 

- the vesting of stock options does not depend on any performance conditions, does not depend on any performance conditions,

 

- both the annual and long-term cash incentives depend on only one absolute performance indicator (EBIT),

 

- early vesting of incentives and the CEO's indemnity in the event of a change in control (equal to 3 years of cash remuneration) are contrary to our guidelines,

 

- discretionary bonuses are allowed and no clawback mechanisms are provided.

 

Therefore, we recommend shareholders to oppose the remuneration policy (binding vote in item 2.1), the remuneration paid in 2019 (advisory vote in item 2.2), the 2020 Stock Option Plan (item 3) and share buyback programme to implement the Stock Option Plan (item 4).
