Until April 27, 2012, the Committee’s members were Claudio Costamagna (Chairman), Roger Abravanel, Sabina Grossi and Gianni Mion, who were all non-executive directors and, with the exception of Sabina Grossi, independent directors.

·                  reviews the organizational requirements of the Company and actions taken to effectively assign key positions (known as succession plans); makes inquiries for the preparation and revision of succession plans adopted by Board of Directors ;

·                  assesses the results of the initiatives aimed at increasing the value of the key resources of the organization;

 

·                  assesses the effectiveness of the strategic partnerships set up by the Company with universities and business schools as well as more general initiatives taken with regard to the labor market;

 

·                  assesses the effectiveness of internal communication initiatives.

 

The Human Resources Committee is granted access to company information and functions deemed necessary for the performance of its own tasks and may also make use of external consultants and independent advisors in the performance of its duties.

 

3.              The Committee has its own regulations, approved by the Board of Directors, and all Committee decisions are required to be adopted by a favorable vote of an absolute majority of its members. The Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors is invited to meetings of the Committee; the other statutory auditors may also attend. The minutes of Committee meetings are duly recorded by the Human Resources Director.  The Committee meets whenever the Chairman deems it necessary or upon the request of another Committee member. If the Committee deems it appropriate, executives of the Company are invited to participate so that certain topics can be discussed in detail.

 

4.              No Director shall take part in the meetings of the Human Resources Committee where proposals are discussed concerning his/her own remuneration.

 

5.              The Board of Directors, at the time it approved the Procedure for Related Parties, granted the Human Resources Committee the power to review transactions with related parties which are limited to resolutions concerning the granting of remuneration and financial benefits to the members of management and control bodies and to other executives with strategic responsibilities.

 

1.2.3                    The Board of Directors

 

1.              Without prejudice to the functions of the Human Resources Committee, the Board of Directors is responsible for: (i) approving the remuneration of directors performing special duties pursuant to article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code; (ii) allocating the aggregate remuneration fixed for the Directors at the Shareholders’ Meeting, in the event this was not determined by the shareholders; and (iii) reviewing the incentive plans to be submitted for approval at the Shareholders’ Meeting and the allocation of benefits thereunder annually, normally at the Shareholders’ Meeting after approval of the financial statements.

 

2.              Moreover, with the assistance of the Human Resources Committee, the Board of Directors confirms that the Remuneration Policy has been implemented correctly.

 

2.                  PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY

 

1.                  The Remuneration Policy is aimed at attracting and motivating qualified professionals to pursue Company and Group objectives, as well as encouraging employee retention. Moreover, the Remuneration Policy is intended to align management’s interests with the medium- to

 

7



 

long-term interests of shareholders while increasing the value of the Company on a sustainable basis.

 

2.                  Total remuneration is a combination of fixed and variable, direct and deferred, monetary and non-monetary components.

 

3.                  The principles which form the basis of decision making on remuneration are:

 

·                  developing a comprehensive remuneration package that is capable of attracting and retaining critical and deserving members of the organization of both today and tomorrow;

 

·                  developing plans and implementing systems based on the “pay for performance” principle that is, systems and plans based on the close correlation between remuneration and actual results - both individual and general - of the organization.

 

3.                  REMUNERATION COMPONENTS

 

3.1           Identification of the pay-mix

 

1.              The remuneration available for executive directors (who are also employees of the Company or Group), general managers and executives with strategic responsibilities is comprised of (i) a fixed part (see para. 3.2 below); (ii) a short-term variable part (see para. 3.3 below); and (iii) a possible medium- to long-term variable component (see para. 3.4 below).

 

2.              The guidelines for the composition of the fixed and variable elements of the remuneration package are defined by Human Resources management based on each segment of the employee population. With specific reference to executive directors who are also Company employees, general managers and the executives with strategic responsibilities, the Human Resources Committee defines at the Group level the pay-mix structure, determining its composition in terms of fixed and variable components, consistently benchmarking its conclusions against market trends and internal analysis.

 

3.              Set forth below are the principles on which the remuneration packages are based for the executive directors who are also Company employees and for executives with strategic responsibilities:

 

·                  balancing the fixed and variable components of the remuneration based on the Company’s strategic objectives and its risk management policy;

 

·                  in respect of the variable component of the remuneration:

 

·             establishing a proportionate weighting between the short-term variable remuneration and the long-term variable remuneration;

 

·             tying the payment of remuneration to performance objectives that must be predetermined, measurable and linked to the creation of value for shareholders in the medium and long term;

 

·             establishing maximum limits for allocation of variable components;

 

·             providing a vesting period for the long-term variable component (see para. 3.4 below);

 

8



 

·                  supplementing the remuneration package with an adequate offer of benefits, with reference to market standard practices;

 

·                  minimizing the use of indemnities or other compensation which is stipulated ex-ante in the event of resignation, transfer from a position, dismissal or termination of the employment relationship; and

 

·                  monitoring and analyzing standard remuneration procedures and best practices implemented in the reference market with the objective of ensuring a total remuneration package that is both as competitive as possible and market aligned.

 

3.2           Fixed remuneration

 

The fixed remuneration component is essentially correlated to the significance of the position and therefore linked to managerial specialization, department covered and related responsibilities. The Company consistently monitors market practice with respect to the components of fixed remuneration, in order to align itself with best practices and also confirms that remuneration levels are being consistently applied across the Group.

 

3.3           Variable remuneration: Management by Objectives (“MBO”)

 

1.              The variable remuneration component is aimed at rewarding the results achieved by establishing a direct connection between remuneration and short term performance.

 

2.              To strengthen the alignment between management’s/employees’ interests with those of the shareholders, the performance measurement references the actual results achieved by the Company or Group as a whole, by the reference business unit and by the individual.

 

3.              The main instrument used in connection with variable remuneration is the Management by Objectives system (“MBO”), which is primarily, however not exclusively, used for Group management and which over time has become the only formalized short-term incentive method.

 

4.              Annual incentives reward individuals who attain quantitative and qualitative performance objectives and take the form of a variable bonus. The main performance objective used - which is applied to all managerial positions - is consolidated EPS (Earnings per Share). Consolidated EPS is the metric calculated from the Group consolidated balance sheet equal to the Group’s net profit divided by the average number of the Company’s shares outstanding.

 

The weight of each objective assigned may vary depending on the role of the individual manager. EPS performance may be coupled with other financial indicators (for example, the DEBT/EBITDA ratio or the Free Cash Flow), business indicators (Net Sales, DOP – Division Operating Profit, etc.) or function objectives based on the characteristics and specific elements of various positions.

 

5.              The individual performance objectives must be objectively defined and measurable; they can be linked both to business managerial targets (processes/projects) as well as to organizational development targets (skills, abilities). In any case, the assigned objectives must be:

 

9



 

·                  specific: the goal of each objective that is to be attained must be clearly and factually stated and the expected results must also be identified;

 

·                  measurable: the expected results are calculated through easily understandable indicators that are based on factual evidence;

 

·                  results-oriented: objectives must be defined with reference to the Company’s and Group’s general strategy and long-term objectives; and

 

·                  time specific: intermediate steps and deadlines must be clearly and precisely defined.

 

6.              The performance, evaluation and communication of the level of achievement of the assigned objectives is a continuous process marked by three fundamental meetings over a twelve-month period:

 

·                  Definition and communication of objectives for the year (by the end of February of the reference year);

 

·                  Mid-year performance evaluation (halfway through the reference year), to check the level of achievement of results in the first part of the year and to define any corrective actions if required; and

 

·                  Final performance evaluation and communication of the level of achievement of the assigned objectives (by the end of January of the following year).

 

Performance objectives are reviewed by the Human Resources Committee and subsequently shared with the Board of Directors.

 

7.              The allocation of the variable remuneration component is subject to maximum limits, which are differentiated in accordance with the position held by the individual within the Company and the Group, the ability to influence results and the reference market. The variable remuneration target values for managers can vary from 30% to 100% of the fixed remuneration. The maximum pay-out values, on the other hand, can range from 45% to 200% of the aforementioned target values.

 

8.              According to the MBO system adopted by the Company, there are no deferral arrangements for more than one year for payment of the variable remuneration component and, as a rule, the variable component is generally paid in the fiscal year after the reference year, once the relevant data has been finalized. The Board of Directors may from time to time evaluate the introduction of forms of deferral for the payment of the variable remuneration component if it is deemed appropriate on account of the position held by certain key personnel and their responsibilities and subject to the opinion of the Human Resources Committee.

 

9.              The incentive plans for the head of internal control and the director responsible for preparing corporate accounting documents are consistent with the tasks they are entrusted with.

 

3.4           Variable Remuneration: Long-Term Incentives (“LTI”)

 

1.              The variable remuneration also has a long-term component which is mainly aimed at directing the actions of management towards achieving identified strategic objectives and retaining Group key personnel.

 

10



 

2.              Long-Term Incentives (“LTI”) are comprised of compensation plans based on financial results. Specifically, the Company adopted the following plans:

 

(i) Performance Share Plan (Stock Grant plans) granting units, that is the right to receive Luxottica shares based on reaching identified performance objectives, and

 

(ii) Stock Option Plan granting option rights for the subsequent subscription of Luxottica shares

 

Details about these Plans are described in related documentation published as required by Law.

 

3.              Variable remuneration recognizes the organizational role in the Company held by the beneficiaries, the individual performance results achieved by the beneficiaries in the previous year and the potential for professional growth in the mid-term within the Group. The grant of rights is subject to: (i) the ability of the single beneficiary to contribute to the development of the Company; (ii) the professional competences and the role held in the Company’s organizational structure; (iii) the level of his/her whole compensation; and (iv) the specific retention needs.

 

4.              Both the Performance Share Plans and the Stock Options Plan are available to employees with the potential for professional growth in the mid-term, specifically the top managers of the Company and subsidiary companies within the Group, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

5.              The Stock Option Plan usually provides for a suitable vesting period after which options can be exercised (in any case, not shorter than three years). The exercise of options may also be conditioned on achieving specific performance objectives defined according to the mid- and long-term targets of the Company and the Group. These objectives are defined according to parameters which represent Luxottica value creation (such as consolidated EPS or Earning per Share).

 

6.              As for the current plans, since the Performance Shares Plan 2008 expired on February 28, 2013, the Board of Directors – upon the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee – resolved to submit to the Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders due to approve the December 31, 2012 statutory financial statements,  the “Performance Shares Plan 2013-2017.” This new plan submitted to the stockholders provides that beneficiaries, selected by the Board of Directors from employees of the Company and the Group, will be granted rights (“Units”) for the assignment of Luxottica shares, without consideration, provided that over the course of a three-year reference period, consolidated EPS targets defined by the Board of Directors must be cumulatively reached. According to the Performance Shares Plan 2013-2017, the Board of Directors is allowed from time to time to forbid, all or part of the beneficiaries, to sell, for a pre-determined period, the shares they have been assigned. The Plan does not provide for deferred compensation or claw-back provisions.

 

7.              From 2013, the Group’s long-term variable compensation will be provided through the sole grant of Company shares under the Performance Share Plan 2013-2017.

 

11



 

8.              Beneficiaries will be identified and rights in the context of long-term incentive plans granted annually and will generally be approved by the Board of Directors after the financial statements are approved at the annual Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders.

 

3.5           Benefits and insurance coverage (i.e. social security or pension schemes), in addition to compulsory coverage

 

The remuneration package for executive directors, general managers, executives with strategic responsibilities and senior managers also includes non-monetary benefits (such as, for example, company cars and telephone), as well as supplementary insurance (i.e. supplementary health insurance, etc.) with the objective of providing the most competitive remuneration package in line with the best practices available in the relevant local markets. Furthermore, in addition to life and non-professional accident insurance coverage provided for by the CCNL(1), the registration in a fund that reimburses supplementary healthcare expenses is offered in addition to the fund set forth by the CCNL.

 

3.6           Compensation in the event of resignation, dismissal or termination of the employment relationship

 

1.              With the sole exception of the Chief Executive Officer, there are no agreements between the Company and its directors, the general managers or the executives with strategic responsibilities providing for compensation in the event of resignation, dismissal or termination of the employment relationship.

 

2.              The payment of extraordinary benefits or compensation, at the end of the mandate or employment relationship, is not included in the Company’s and the Group’s general policy on remuneration (without prejudice, in any case, to legal obligations and/or CCNL obligations towards employees). Nevertheless, the Company may agree on special treatment with respect to a termination of office or employment relationship for individual directors performing special duties, or general managers or executives with strategic responsibilities, if it is deemed appropriate in order to attract and retain particular professional personnel.

 

3.              Any termination or severance agreement must be prepared in accordance with reference benchmarks on the subject and within the limits defined by case law and standard practices in the country in which the agreement is entered into.

 

3.7           Non-competition agreements

 

1.              The Group provides for the possibility of entering into non-competition agreements with Directors, general managers, executives with strategic responsibilities and senior managers at the end of their mandate or employment relationship.

 


(1)  Contratto collettivo nazionale di lavoro – Italian collective labor agreement

 

12



 

2.              In accordance with case law and standard practice, these agreements may provide for payment of compensation recorded in the Gross Annual Income (“GAI”), related to the duration and the extent of the restriction imposed by the agreement itself.

 

3.              The non-competition obligation should refer to the product sector in which the Group operates at the time of entering into the agreement as well as the geographical limits; the extent of the obligation also will vary depending on the position held by the individual at the time the employment relationship is terminated.

 

4.                  THE REMUNERATION OF THE DIRECTORS

 

4.1           The basic remuneration of directors

 

In accordance with law and the articles of association, the remuneration paid to directors for the positions they hold is determined at the Shareholders’ Meeting, and may include either the aggregate amount of remuneration to be paid or specific details on how it is to be divided among the directors. The members of the Board of Directors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred by reason of their position.

 

4.2           The remuneration of directors performing special duties

 

1.              The remuneration of directors performing special duties is determined by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Human Resources Committee, at the time of their appointment or in the first meeting that follows the Committee’s appointment.

 

2.              In particular, the Board of Directors can decide, upon the favorable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, to award additional remuneration supplementing the fixed remuneration which is generally determined at the Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders for the directors performing special duties at the time of their appointment (see para. 4.1 above).

 

3.              Therefore, the remuneration of directors performing special duties can be composed of: (i) an annual fixed component, which may take the special duties of the directors into consideration; and (ii) in the case of directors who are delegated specific tasks, a medium to long-term variable component (in particular, these directors may be the recipients of medium to long-term incentive plans; see para. 3.4. above). The variable component represents a significant part of overall remuneration paid to these directors (as a general rule, the percentage represented by the variable remuneration of total remuneration may vary between 55% and 65%).

 

4.              Similar criteria are also relevant for general managers of the Company.

 

5.              In several cases special positions are held in companies controlled by Luxottica and involve the allocation of remuneration due to the time commitment required.

 

13



 

4.3           The remuneration of non-executive Directors

 

1.              The remuneration of non-executive Directors is not connected to the achievement of specific performance objectives on the part of the Company. Furthermore, these directors are not the recipients of medium to long-term incentive plans.

 

2.              The non-executive Directors who are members of the committees set up within the Board of Directors (namely, the Human Resources Committee and the Control and Risk Committee) receive additional remuneration for these positions, which are determined by the Board of Directors, upon the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

 

3.              The additional remuneration allocated according to the above procedure is awarded on the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee, it being clearly understood that in this case each director abstains from voting on the proposals regarding his/her own remuneration.

 

4.4           The remuneration of executives with strategic responsibilities

 

1.              The identification of the most significant members of staff is carried out by the Chief Executive Officer, after consultation with the General Manager of Central Corporate Functions and the Human Resources Director. The group of executives with strategic responsibilities includes the top managers in Italy and abroad.

 

2.              For the executives with strategic responsibilities, the annual variable remuneration (made up of MBO and LTI incentive plans, according to the statements above) represents a significant part of overall remuneration: as a general rule, the percentage represented by the variable remuneration of total remuneration may vary between 55% and 65%.

 

****

 

The above Remuneration Policy does not show significant differences compared to the one submitted to the General Meeting on April 27, 2012, exception made for some aspects related to the long term variable remuneration (see previous para. 3.4 above).

The Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders held on April 27, 2012, appointed the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors who will remain in office until approval of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014.

2.              Leonardo Del Vecchio (Chairman of the Board of Directors) received: (i) “basic” remuneration as a director of Luxottica and (ii) “additional” remuneration for acting as Chairman of the Board in accordance with article 2389, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code.

2.                  INFORMATION ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR POSITION OF DIRECTOR AND THE EXISTENCE OF SPECIAL AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILITIES

 

1.              Currently, with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, and consistent with Company policy (see Section I, para. 3.6 above), there are no agreements between the Company and the directors or executives with strategic responsibilities that provide for compensation in the event of termination of employment or position in office prior to the natural expiry of any agreement (or in the case of a change-of-control transaction).

 

There are no agreements that provide for the allocation or maintenance of non-monetary benefits or the stipulation of ad hoc consultancy agreements in the event of termination of employment. There are no agreements that provide compensation for non-competition obligations.

 

2.              With regard to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Andrea Guerra:

 

·                  in the event of termination of employment (as he is also an employee of Luxottica) without just cause, in addition to the severance pay due in accordance with the law, the Company will pay Mr. Guerra a gross all-inclusive lump-sum amount equal to two years of the total of: (i) his fixed remuneration, understood as the sum of his fixed remuneration

 

20



 

as an employee and the fixed remuneration for the position held; and (ii) his variable remuneration, calculated on the average of the amount allocated for this component in the prior three years of employment; and

 

·                  these terms and conditions of pay are also applied in the event that Mr. Guerra resigns from his position as a Director either with just cause or within 60 days from verification of one or more of the following situations: (a) a substantial negative change in the delegation of duties granted to him and/or a reduction in the powers provided by this delegation; or (b) a change in his position following a change of control of the Company.

 

3.              The termination of general employment with the Company or of a position as a Director of the Company is treated as follows with respect to the incentive plans allocated by Luxottica ex-article 114-bis of the Italian Consolidated Financial Law:

 

·                  as a rule, for the ordinary plans, which are not dependent on attaining specific performance objectives, the allocated option rights expire when the Company informs the beneficiary that his or her employment is terminated with just cause or for a subjective justified reason or, in the event of disciplinary action which may lead to dismissal, at the time of receipt of notification. Additionally, these rights expire on the day that a beneficiary informs the Company of his/her withdrawal from employment. During the notice period, the possibility of exercising option rights which have vested during this period is expressly excluded; and

 

·                  vested options are exercisable subsequent to the termination of employment in the following cases: termination of employment for reasons other than those stated in the previous paragraph, retirement due to age limits reached, unfitness to carry out the job, death; in the event of: (i) consensual termination of employment; or (ii) withdrawal from employment on the part of the Company for a justified objective reason: in these cases the options can be exercised as a rule within 90 days from the termination of employment. Once this period has elapsed, the rights expire. For additional information, please refer to the documents and regulations published in the “Governance/Remuneration/Incentive Plans” section of the website www.luxottica.com.

 

4.              The directors Messrs. Andrea Guerra and Enrico Cavatorta, employees of the Company, in addition to being beneficiaries of the incentive plans approved by Luxottica, are also beneficiaries of the Delfin Plan allocated by the shareholder Delfin S.à r.l. in 2004. The Delfin Plan provides that, in the event of termination of employment for reasons other than dismissal for just cause, option rights may be exercised within 30 days from termination of employment. In the event of dismissal for just cause, on the other hand, the allocated option rights are no longer exercisable. These provisions apply also to the beneficiaries of the plan who are executives with strategic responsibilities.

 

5.              The Vice-Chairman, Mr. Luigi Francavilla, is also a beneficiary of the Delfin Plan, and following the termination of his employment with the Company due to reaching age limits, he has the right to exercise the option rights allocated to him under this plan until expiration on

 

21



 

August 30, 2014 by virtue of a specific agreement between the parties. During 2012, Mr. Francavilla exercised all his remaining rights under the Delfin plan.

 

6.              Mr. Roberto Chemello is also a beneficiary of the Delfin Plan.  By virtue of a specific agreement, following the termination of his employment with the Company, he has the right to exercise the option rights allocated to him under this plan until the earlier of the expiry date of the Plan (August 30 2014) or three years from the date of termination of his position as Director, for any reason. Furthermore, Mr. Chemello maintains the right to exercise the stock options allocated to him under the 2004 and the 2006 extraordinary plan, which can be exercised up to three years from the date of termination of the position of Director.
