ANIMA Holding: Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

Milano, 14 May 2018 - The Board of Directors of Anima Holding S.p.A. (ANIM.IM), following the approval of the guidelines already communicated on March 5, 2018, resolved today to submit a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") based on Anima Holding SpA financial instruments to an EGM to be convened in June 2018.

The Plan is structured as a granting of new shares, to be issued pursuant to art. 2349 c.c. through a share capital increase, up to a maximum of 2.31% of the current share capital.

The vesting of the Units assigned to each Beneficiary will take place in a deferred timeframe, and precisely:

  • • 34% of the Units during the Vesting Period 2018-20;

  • • 33% of the Units during the 2019-21 Vesting Period; and

  • • 33% of the Units during the 2020-22Vesting Period.

The exercise of the Units (and therefore the effective assignment of the shares to the beneficiaries) is subject, among other conditions, to the fulfillment of the following:

First Condition: the exercise of 25% of the Units is subject to the achievement by the Anima Group of a certain net new money level, defined as the ratio between (i) the cumulative net new money for each three-year period of the Plan (2018-20, 2019-21, 2020-22) and (ii) the Group's AuM at December 31st of each year prior to the start of each three-year period, compared with the same ratio for a panel of the main operators in Italy.

Second Condition: the exercise of 25% of the Units is subject to the achievement by the Company of a determined total return to shareholders calculated for each three-year period of the Plan, ("TRS") compared with the same ratio for a group of European comparable listed companies.

Third Condition: the exercise of the remaining 50% of the Units is subject to the achievement by the Anima Group of a certain increase in cumulated Adjusted EPS against 3x the level achieved in 2017. In particular, in order for this condition to be fully met, such increase must be 23% for the period 2018-2020, 30% for the period 2019-2021 and 35.5% for the period 2019-2022.

The documentation relating to the Plan will be published pursuant to current legislation and within the terms set forth therein.
