ANNUAL REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS OF LISTED COMPANIES

  1. COMPANY'S REMUNERATION POLICY FOR THE CURRENT YEAR

A1. Explain the current remuneration policy for directors applicable to the current year. To the extent that it is relevant, certain information may be included by reference to the remuneration policy approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, provided that the inclusion is clear, specific and concrete.

A description must be given of the specific decisions for the current year, both on the remuneration of directors due to their status as such, as well as for the performance of executive roles, which the board makes in accordance with the provisions of the contracts signed with the executive directors and with the remuneration policy approved by the general shareholders' meeting.

In any case, at least the following aspects must be reported:

    • Description of the company's procedures and bodies involved in determining and approving the remuneration policy and its terms.
    • Indicate and, if applicable, explain whether comparable companies have been considered in establishing the company's remuneration policy.
    • Information on whether any external advisors have been involved and, if so, who they are.
    • Procedures contemplated in the current director compensation policy for applying temporary exceptions to the policy, conditions under which such exceptions may be used, and components that may be subject to exception under the policy.
  • The Remuneration Policy is applicable to the members of the Board of Directors of Neinor Homes, S.A. ("Neinor Homes" or the "Company"), in compliance with the legal requirements established by the Consolidated Text of the Capital Companies Act, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010, of July 2, 2010 (hereinafter, the "Capital Companies Act") (the "Remuneration Policy" or the "Policy").
    The Remuneration Policy has been prepared by the Company taking into account the relevance of the Company, its economic situation and market standards for comparable companies.
    As part of the latest review process of the Remuneration Policy, the Company has received legal advice from Roca Junyent, S.L.P. The previous updates were advised by Uria. In addition, the Company has been advised by Seeliger and Conde in the development of the Company's long-term variable remuneration plan described in the Policy.
    The remuneration programs set out in the Policy and detailed in this report maintain a reasonable proportion to the Company's relevance, its economic situation and the market standards of comparable companies and promote the long -term profitability and sustainability of the Company, incorporating the necessary precautions to avoid excessive risk -taking or rewarding unfavourable results and ensuring the alignment of the interests of the directors with those of the Company and its shareholders.
    The company's Remuneration Policy incorporates the provisions of Article 529 novodecies of the Capital Companies Act, as amended by Law 5/2021, which amends the Capital Companies Act, imposing new requirements on the content of the remuneration policies for directors of listed companies and making it mandatory to adapt the policies in force at the next General Meeting held by listed companies after the entry into force of said law in accordance with the First Transitory Provision of Law 5/2021. Additionally, aspects derived from the revision of the Good Governance Code of the National Securities Commission in June 2020 were incorporated.
    The last review of the Remuneration Policy that was carried out, in 2023, was aimed at updating the description of the Company's long-term variable remuneration plan, since the plan contained in the previous Policy, called the Long Term Incentive Plan 2020 (hereinafter "LTIP 2020"), ended in 2022, having been replaced by a new plan, the "Management

Incentive Plan 2023-2025" (hereinafter "MIP 2023-2025"), which was approved by the Board, with the

favourable report of

the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, at its meeting held in writing and without a meeting on 30 March

2023.

Likewise, the references in the Policy to the Executive Director other than the CEO have been eliminated, as there is currently only one executive director, the CEO, since the other director who held that position, Mr. Jorge Pepa, resigned in April 2022.

The policy published on the company's website at the date of this report is the policy prior to the amendment approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 22 November 2023. The amended policy will be published on the website once it has been approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled for April 2024.

The Remuneration Policy is in force until 31 December 2025.

• The Policy is designed to provide a solid structure for good corporate governance. The general principles and criteria used are summarized as follows:

  1. Ensuring independence of judgment

Remuneration is structured in such a way as not to compromise the independent judgment of non -executive directors, with special attention to that awarded to independent directors.

  1. Attracting and retaining the best professionals

The remuneration policy aims to establish a competitive remuneration that allows to attract and retain talent that contributes to the creation of value for the Company.

  1. Long-termsustainability

Remuneration shall be consistent with the long-term interests and strategy of the Company, as well as with its values and objectives, and includes provisions to avoid conflicts of interest, excessive risk-taking and rewarding unfavorable performance.

  1. Transparency

The remuneration policy and the specific rules for determining remuneration shall be clear and well-disseminated. In this regard, at the beginning of each year or at the General Shareholders' Meeting, the maximum total amount of remuneration that can be paid to directors shall be made public, as well as the conditions that must be met in order to obtain such remuneration.

  1. Clarity and individualization

The rules for the management and determination of remuneration shall be drafted in a clear, simple and concise manner.

  1. Fairness of remuneration

-

Remuneration is set taking into consideration the dedication, qualifications and responsibility required by the position,

as well as the experience, functions and tasks performed by each director. In addition, remuneration must maintain a

balance between market competitiveness and internal equity.

  • Likewise, the conditions of the other employees of the group have been taken into account so that the principles of the remuneration system for executive directors are aligned with the general remuneration programs of the group. In this sense, certain remuneration elements such as other additional components to the remuneration, or the remuneration systems referenced to the value of the Neinor Homes share may only be offered to executive directors when similar elements are accessible to other employees of the Group.

-

The maximum

annual remuneration

to be received by the

members of the Board

of Directors in their capacity as such

is 1,500,000 €.

-

The maximum

individual amount to

be received by each

of the aforementioned

directors as fixed annual compensation

is as follows:

    • A maximum of 150,000 euros for the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
    • A maximum of 100,000 euros for each independent and "other external" directors.
  • If, following any increase in the number of directors sitting in the Board, the aggregate remuneration otherwise payable to them as members of the Board were to exceed the maximum annual amount of 1,500,00 euros referred in this Section, then the Board of Directors may reduce the individual remuneration described in this section on a proportional basis.
  • Only independent directors and those in the "other external" category are entitled to receive remuneration for their status as such.

As part of the update of the Company's long-term variable remuneration plan, described as the "Management Incentive Plan 2023-2025", the Company received advice from Seeliger y Conde in the preparation of the Company's long -term variable remuneration plan. In performing their advisory duties, Seeliger y Conde (i) carried out a consultation process with several of the Company's senior executives; and (ii) analysed the medium-term incentive plans of 7 national companies in the real estate sector, including residential development companies of a similar size to Neinor Homes.

  • The Policy provides for the following compensation components:
    1. Fixed annual remuneration.
    2. Attendance fees for meetings of the Board and its Committees.
    3. Remuneration in shares or linked to their performance, without prejudice to the provisions of the Regulations of the Board of Directors.

The remuneration mentioned in a) and b) above only applies to independent and "other external" directors.

Notwithstanding the provision mentioned in section c) above, Directors are currently not entitled to any share-based or performance-related remuneration.

The total amount payable by the Company as compensation to all of its directors for these three items may not exceed the relevant amount determined for this purpose by the General Meeting. The amount thus determined by the General Meeting shall apply unless and until the General Meeting approves other amount in accordance with applicable laws.

However, the determination of the specific amount to be paid to each director for these items within the maximum amount approved by the General Meeting shall be agreed by the Board of Directors in accordance with this Remunerations Policy. For such purpose, the Board shall take into account the office held by each director within the Board itself, as well as the membership and attendance of each director to any committees.

Finally, the Company shall pay for any premium due for any civil liability insurance policy taken out by the Company in respect of its directors upon customary market terms and commensurate with the circumstances of the Company .

  • The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer is set forth in his contract signed with the Company on April 8, 2019. The Chief Executive Officer does not receive any remuneration for his position as a member of the Board of Directors or the Committees, only for his executive position and, unlike the external directors, he does have a variable remuneration system, which seeks to align the interests of the Chief Executive Officer with the Company's shareholders by establishing specific objectives linked to the creation of value in the medium and long term. The remuneration structure is composed of the following elements:
  1. Fixed remuneration: The executive director of the Company shall be entitled to receive an amount not exceeding

900,000 euros as fixed annual remuneration. In fiscal year 2023, the Chief Executive Officer has received a

remuneration of 663,000 euros.

    1. Annual bonus to be established annually by the Board of Directors. The annual variable remuneration of the executive director may in no case exceed 100% of the amount of the fixed remuneration. The variable remuneration received in the financial year 2023, corresponding to the financial year 2022, was 300,000 euros and the amount accrued and approved by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee for the financial year 2023, which will be paid in 2024, amounts to 350,000 euros.
    2. Participation in the company's medium-term incentive schemes. See section B.7 below.
    3. Directors and Officers ("D&O") insurance.
  • The relative importance of variable to fixed remuneration items (remuneration mix) and what criteria and objectives have been taken into account in their determination and to ensure an appropriate balance between fixed and variable components of remuneration. In particular, indicate the actions taken by the company in relation to the remuneration system to reduce exposure to excessive risks and align it with the long-term objectives, values and interests of the company, including, where appropriate, a reference to measures envisaged to ensure that the remuneration policy addresses the long-term performance of the company, measures taken in relation to those categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the company and measures envisaged to avoid conflicts of interest.
    Also indicate whether the company has established any vesting or consolidation period for certain variable remuneration items, in cash, shares or other financial instruments, a deferral period for the payment of amounts or delivery of financial instruments already accrued and consolidated, or whether any clause has been agreed to reduce deferred remuneration or oblige the director to return the remuneration received, when such remuneration has been based on data whose inaccuracy has subsequently been manifestly demonstrated.
    Article 25.3 of the Board of Directors' Regulations establishes that directors' remuneration must be in reasonable proportion to the importance of the Company, its economic situation at any given time, the standards that are met on the market in companies of a similar size or activity and consider their dedication to the Company. The remuneration system established must be aimed at promoting the long-term profitability and sustainability of the Company and incorporate the necessary precautions to avoid the excessive assumption of risks and unfavourable results. In particular, the remuneration system should set the necessary limits and safeguards to ensure that variable remuneration is related to the professional performance of the beneficiaries and does not derive solely from the general evolution of the markets or the sector.
    The directors' remuneration policy established by the Company does not establish variable remuneration for directors for their status as such, but only a fixed remuneration and per diems for attending meetings, with the aim of remunerating directors adequately and sufficiently for their dedication, qualifications and responsibilities, without compromising their independence of judgement or encouraging the Company to take excessive risks.
    The Chief Executive Officer remuneration system is aligned with the Company's interests. The annual objectives set for the bonus are linked to performance. Specifically, the individual contract entered into with the Chief Executive Officer provides for the possibility of receiving annual variable remuneration in cash, provided that the results significantly improve the business plan and that the Board of Directors of the Company so decides. In this respect, the weighted parameters taken into consideration to set the variable remuneration are as follows:
    Financial and operating performance parameters:

Compliance with the Developer Contribution Margin established in the Business Plan.

25%

Number of developments planned-launched for construction (Cranes).

25%

Compliance with the OpEx established in the Business Plan.

15%

Compliance with the EBITDA established in the Business Plan.

25%

Non-financial performance parameters:

These are linked to different objectives, such as the progress of the Group's Sustainability Plan, compliance with Corporate Governance, implementation of ESG improvements, measurement and compensation of the carbon footprint, employee training, level of customer satisfaction, equality and non-discrimination objectives, and similar. The weight of non-financial objectives will be a maximum of 25%. The company takes as a reference some of the most globally recognised ESG indices/rankings of analysts, to take as an element of performance their evaluations and degree of improvement with respect to previous years, as an evaluative element that can integrate, together with many others, the aspects mentioned above.

In the 2023 financial year, one parameter considered has been the maintenance of Neinor Homes in the highest category of requirement in terms of ESG of one of the main analysis agencies in the measurement of the ESG performance of companies (Sustainalytics, determined by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee). The achievement of this objective has a weight of 10% of the variable compensation.

The above criteria have been established based on their contribution to the achievement of the Group's long-term objectives by pursuing sustainable revenue growth with a debt ratio appropriate to the Group's capital structure, while the Company takes into due consideration the non-financial parameters that, among other aspects, promote the stability of the working personnel to ensure talent retention and service excellence and the Group's ESG concerns, all in the interest of maximizing shareholder value creation.

The annual bonus plans provide that in the event that (i) any event or circumstance occurs that results in a definitive alteration or negative variation in the financial statements, results, economic, performance or other data on which the accrual and payment to the beneficiary of any amount of variable remuneration was based and that (ii) such alteration or variation determines that, had it been known at the vesting or payment date, the beneficiary would have received an amount lower than that initially paid, the beneficiary shall be obliged to reimburse the Company for the excess amount received, and the Company shall be entitled to claim such reimbursement. This provision is independent of any liability that the beneficiary may have in the aforementioned alteration or negative variation. The Company may offset the amount claimed against any other amount due to the beneficiary.

In the course of the financial year 2023, a three-yearmedium-term incentive scheme has come into force, which is explained in detail in section B7:

a) Management Incentive Plan 2023-2025 ("MIP 2023-2025")

In addition to certain members of the Company's senior management, the Chief Executive Officer is a beneficiary of the MIP 2023-2025.

The MIP 2023-2025 is composed of three one-year cycles. The first Plan cycle runs from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The second Plan cycle runs from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 and the third Plan cycle runs from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. At the end of each achievement period, the incentive payable in cash to each beneficiary will be calculated taking into account the level of achievement of certain pre-approved metrics, described in section B.7, as follows:

  • The actual settlement will take place after the approval of the annual accounts for the year in which each cycle ends and the approval of the Board's proposal for the corresponding dividend for each year (that is, 2024 for the first cycle, 2025 for the second cycle, and 2026 for the last cycle).
  • The accrual in each of the three years will be calculated in proportion to the total dividends distributed in each year over the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the 3 years, the total estimated amount for all the participants in the plan and for the entire plan over the three years amounts to 15 million euros, linked to the payout of 450 million euros as TSR, with a payout ceiling in case the dividends distributed are higher than the 450 million euros of the entire planned plan (limited to 17.5 million euros for the entire 3 years of vesting). The vesting of the Incentive will not be capped on an annual basis.
  • There are a series of levels that distribute the amount to be received by each participant in the plan over the total amount allocated, with the percentage allocated to the CEO being 21%.
  • The Board must approve the TSR target and the EBITDA key for each of the years of the plan, all in accordance with the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, compliance with which will be a precondition for accrual of the Incentive.

Clawback:In case of voluntary departure of an executive from the company before the third year (end of the plan), a penalty equivalent to 30% of the amount accrued and received up to that moment (net of taxes) will be applied.

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee shall have the power to propose to the Board of Directors the cancellation of the payment of the MIP 2023-2025 to the Executive Director, in whole or in part, in the event of certain supervening circumstances (reduction and clawback clauses).

Likewise, the references in the Policy to the Executive Director other than the CEO have been eliminated, as there is currently only one Executive Director, the Chief Executive Officer, since the other director who held that position, Mr Jorge Pepa, resigned in April 2022.

As part of the process of revising the Remuneration Policy, the Company has received legal advice from Roca Junyent, S.L.P. In

Capital

and invest ors. The

changes are described in the remuneration report for the 2022 financial year, published on the company's website.

The degree of compliance with the various objectives linked to the achievement of the CEO's variable remuneration was as follows: 100% compliance with respect to the EBITDA target, 98% compliance with respect to the contribution margin target, 91% compliance with respect to the target for planned construction launches (cranes), 111% compliance with respect to the company's planned OPEX target and 100% compliance with respect to the company's ESG objectives.

The percentages of compliance with the objectives have been reviewed and validated by the GRC department.

There have also been additional events that have been considered relevant when assessing the company's performance. Thus, within the shareholder remuneration pillar, the company will have completed in February the distribution of 125 million €, 21% of the total planned for the period. In addition, the company expects to distribute 325 million € in 2024 and 2025, representing a return of 41%.

On the other hand, in 2023 Neinor Homes has signed agreements with three strategic partners to co-invest 300 million €, which means an improvement in the efficiency of capital allocation. Up to the end of the year, Neinor co-invested 100 million € in asset purchases with its partners.

As a consequence of the above, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee proposed, and the Board approved, at its meeting of 24 January 2024, a bonus of 350,000 € for the Chief Executive Officer, to be paid in fiscal year 2024.

B.1.2 Explain any deviations from the established procedure for the application of the remuneration policy that occurred during the financial year.

There has been no deviation from the established procedure for the application of the remuneration policy.

B.1.3 Indicate whether any temporary exceptions to the remuneration policy have been applied and, if so, explain the exceptional circumstances that have led to the application of these exceptions, the specific components of the remuneration policy affected and the reasons why the company considers that these exceptions have been necessary to serve the long-term interests and sustainability of the company as a whole or to ensure its viability. Also quantify the impact that the application of these exceptions has had on the remuneration of each director during the year.

There have been no exceptions to the remuneration policy.

B.2 Explain the different actions taken by the company in relation to the remuneration system and how they have contributed to reducing exposure to excessive risks and aligning it with the company's objectives, values and long-term interests, including a reference to the measures that have been taken to ensure that accrued remuneration has taken into account the long-term performance of the company and achieved an appropriate balance between fixed and variable components of remuneration, what measures have been taken in relation to those categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the entity's risk profile, and what measures have been taken to avoid conflicts of interest, if any.

See section A.1

B.3 Explain how the remuneration accrued and consolidated in the year complies with the provisions of the current remuneration policy and how it contributes to the long-term and sustainable performance of the company.

Also report on the relationship between the remuneration obtained by the directors and the results or other short- and long-term performance measures of the company, explaining, where applicable, how variations in the company's performance may have influenced the variation in directors' remuneration, including accrued remuneration for which payment has been deferred, and how these contribute to the company's short- and long-term results.

The remuneration accrued in the year complies with the provisions of the current remuneration policy.

As regards the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, who is the only Director contemplating the payment of variable remuneration, the remuneration system envisaged is aligned with the interests of the Company. The annual bonus targets are linked to financial and non- financial performance. Specifically, the individual contract entered into with the Chief Executive Officer provides for the possibility of receiving annual variable remuneration in cash, provided that the results significantly improve the business plan and that the Company's Board of Directors so decides.

The weighted parameters taken into consideration to set the variable remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer are as follows:

Observations

The approval rate of the Annual Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2021, held in 2022, was 88.07%, which means that at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2023 there was an improvement in approval by more than 10 percentage points compared to the previous year.

B.5 Explain how the fixed components accrued and consolidated during the year by the directors in their capacity as such have been determined, their relative proportion for each director and how they have varied from the previous year:

The fixed components of the remuneration of directors who qualify as "independent" and "other external" consist of a fixed annual salary and allowances for attendance at meetings of the Board and its committees. The amounts paid as a fixed component to Directors have increased by 5.5% compared to 2022, in line with the increase for the average of the company's employees and below the limit stipulated in the Board's Remuneration Policy.

The allowances have been paid based on attendance at meetings of the Board and its committees.

The proportion represented by the annual fixed remuneration compared to the total fixed components accrued and consolidated (fixed remuneration + attendance fees) for the directors Ricardo Martí Fluxá, Anna M. Birulés Bertran, Alfonso Rodés Vilà and Andreas Segal, are respectively 69%, 65%, 69% and 73%, not having produced significant differences with respect to the proportion that occurred in the previous year.

B.6 Explain how the salaries accrued and consolidated during the year ended for each of the executive directors for the performance of management duties have been determined, and how they have varied with respect to the previous year.

The salary earned by the Chief Executive Officer for performing management functions consists of a fixed salary and a variable compensation ("bonus"). The overall compensation (fixed and variable compensation) of the Chief Executive Officer has increased by 34%, from 1,414,000 euros in fiscal year 2022 to 1,895,980 euros in fiscal year 2023. The difference is due to the accrual in the current year of the portion corresponding to the fulfilment of the MIP 2023-2025, which was somewhat higher than the previous LTIP that accrued in 2022, in addition to the increase in fixed and variable remuneration (bonus).

With respect to the ratio of variable remuneration with respect to fixed remuneration, it has gone from 50% in 2022 to 53% in the current financial year.

The variable salary has been determined as indicated in section B.3 above.

B.7 Explain the nature and main features of the variable components of the remuneration systems accrued and vested in the financial year ended. In particular:

  • Identify each of the remuneration plans that have determined the different variable remuneration accrued by each of the directors during the year ended, including information on their scope, date of approval, date of implementation, vesting conditions, if any, vesting periods and term, criteria used to assess performance and how this has impacted on the setting of the variable amount accrued, as well as the measurement criteria used and the time required to be in a position to adequately measure all stipulated conditions and criteria, detailing the criteria and factors applied in terms of the time required and methods to verify that the performance or other conditions to which the vesting and vesting of each component of variable remuneration was linked have been effectively met.
  • In the case of stock option plans or other financial instruments, the general features of each plan shall include information on the conditions both for unconditional vesting and for the exercise of such options or financial instruments, including the exercise price and exercise period.
  • Each of the directors, and their category (executive directors, external proprietary directors, external independent directors or other external directors), who are beneficiaries of remuneration systems or plans that incorporate variable remuneration.
  • Where applicable, information shall be provided on vesting, vesting or deferral periods for payment of consolidated amounts that have been applied and/or holding/non-disposal periods for shares or other financial instruments, if any.
    As explained in section A.1 above, only the executive director may receive variable remuneration. Variable remuneration consists of the following:
    1. Annual bonus, which is approved each year by the company's Board of Directors and the details of which can be found in section A.1 above;
    2. Incentive plans

On the one hand, in the financial year 2023, the first materialisation period of the LTIP 2020 Plan (achievement / vesting period 2020 - 2022) has been met, and therefore the first block of company shares contemplated in said Plan has been transferred to the CEO, which will be detailed in the subsequent description of each of the plans.

On the other hand, the first year of the new Incentive Plan (MIP 2023-2025) was accrued in 2023, which will be paid in cash once the annual accounts for 2023 have been approved at the next General Shareholders' Meeting to be held in April 2024. Details of the amounts accrued are shown in the description of the Plan.

2.1. Long Term Incentive Plan 2020 ("LTIP 2020").

The LTIP 2020 was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 28 February 2020 with the favourable report of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The LTIP was included in the Board Remuneration Regulations that were approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting held on April 1, 2020.

In addition to certain members of the Company's senior management, the Chief Executive Officer, who is an executive director, is a beneficiary of the 2020 LTIP.

This is a remuneration system consisting entirely of Company shares.

The 2020 LTIP consists of a single three-year cycle. The achievement period starts on January 1, 2020 and has ended on December 31, 2022. At the end of the achievement period, the number of shares of each beneficiary will be calculated taking into account the level of achievement of certain pre-approved metrics, which are detailed below, together with the shares equivalent to the dividends paid, both in accordance with the following:

  • 50% of the shares earned will be delivered at the end of the three-year vesting period (initial payment), plus a number of shares equal to the dividends that would theoretically have been paid on the 50% of the shares earned from the start of the 2020 LTIP (1 January 2020) until the day of payment, divided by the average share price in the 6-month period prior to the end of the cycle.
  • 25% of the shares obtained will be delivered one year after the initial payment, provided that the beneficiary remains in the Company and subject to malus provisions, plus a number of shares equal to the dividends that would theoretically have been paid on such 25% of the shares obtained since the beginning of the 2020 LTIP (1 January 2020) and until the day of payment, divided by the average share price in the 6-month period prior to the end of 2023.
  • 25% of the shares obtained will be delivered two years after the initial payment, provided that the beneficiary remains in the Company and subject to malus provisions, plus a number of shares which will be equivalent to the dividends that would theoretically have been paid on such 25% of the shares obtained from the beginning of the 2020 LTIP (1 January 2020) until the day of payment, divided by the average share price in the 6-month period prior to the end of 2024.

50% of the amount payable is determined on the basis of the Company's EBITDA achievement, measured on a cumulative basis, the target being set at the beginning of the cycle.

The other 50% of the amount payable will be determined on the basis of total shareholder return, which will be calculated as the performance of the share price plus the value of dividends, if any, during the period assuming they are reinvested in Neinor Homes shares on the date they are received.

The maximum amount that the Chief Executive Officer can potentially receive is 2,700,000 euros in the case, with the basis for 100% compliance with the objectives being 1,800,000 euros.
