Leonardo - AGM and EGM 09 May 2019
In item 3, shareholders are called to an advisory vote on the remuneration policy. The overall remuneration amounts are reasonable (aggregate variable remuneration is capped at 128% of the CEO's base salary), and severance payments are in line with our guidelines (capped at 2 years of remuneration in the event of early termination of office, and no severance to be paid to the CEO at the end of his mandate). We regret that the variable remuneration depends more on annual than long-term results (the annual bonus would represent approximately 52% of the variable remuneration at maximum levels of performance). However, it should be considered that 20% of the annual bonus depends on the implementation of the long-term Strategic Plan. Also taking into account the high level of disclosure (all conditions are disclosed and long-term targets are quantified), we recommend approval.
In item 4 (EGM), the Board of Directors proposes to amend the Bylaws by including the minimum gender representation of 33% as mandatory even after the expiration of legal requirements (at the election of the Board by the 2020 AGM). We recommend approval.
