Compensation of Directors Non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company will each be paid $4,000 per year from the Company for services rendered in their capacity as such. The Board has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, an outside directors stock option plan under which non-employee directors will receive automatic grants of stock options. Officers of the Company or its subsidiaries who are members of the Board of Directors of the Company and employees receive compensation for services rendered in their capacities as officers only. Subject to shareholder approval of a non-qualified employee stock option plan adopted by the Board, officers may be entitled to discretionary grants of stock options. See "Summary of Cash and Certain Other --- Compensation". Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation The Company's Board of Directors established a compensation committee on October 28, 1995, but it has not yet convened. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has, to date, addressed all compensation issues through its or their respective boards of directors. All members of the Board of Directors other than Ms. Ruzzon and Mr. Corradi served as executive officers and/or employees of the Company and/or one or more of the Company's subsidiaries in 1995. Mr. Garavaglia is President of Moto Guzzi, but receives no compensation as such. Messrs. Tozzi-Condivi, Chase, Pugno Vanoni, Garavaglia and Previtali engaged in transactions with the Company during 1995 other than in the capacity described above. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" --- below. Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation The compensation policy implemented by the Company and its sub- sidiaries for the compensation of executive officers calls for consideration of the nature of each executive officer's work and responsibilities, unusual accomplishments or achievements on the Company's behalf, the time expended in connection with that executive officer's duties, years of service, and the Company's (or subsidiary's) financial condition generally. Historically, overall corporate performance has not been a significant factor in establishing compensation. However, as a result of the Finprogetti Acquisition and the many changes to the Company's governing structure, including the creation of an Executive Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, other and additional factors are likely to be included in compensation policies, including overall corporate performance, and performance of individual units of the Company. A compensation committee of the Board of Directors was authorized on October 28, 1995. 10

In November 1995 the Company entered into employment agreements with each of Howard E. Chase, Albino Collini, Giovanni Avallone and Carlo Previtali, an agreement for limited services with Francesco Pugno Vanoni, and a consulting agreement with Como Consultants, Ltd., a corporation which will provide the services of Mario Tozzi Condivi. The agreements with Mr. Chase, Collini, Vanoni and Como Consultants are for a term of five (5) years, and all other agreements are for a term of three years, subject, in all cases, to early termination under certain conditions. Pursuant to such agreements Mr. Chase serves as President and Chief Executive Officer at a base salary of $375,000 per year, Mr. Collini serves as Chief Operating Officer at a base salary of $250,000 per year and Mr. Tozzi-Condivi serves as Vice-Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee at a base salary of $185,000 per year. All such agreements are subject to cost-of-living increases. The agreement with Mr. Previtali provides for his serving as Treasurer of the Company at a salary of Lit. 240,000,000 ($148,515) per year, the agreement with Mr. Avallone provides for his serving as Director of Special Projects and Merchant Banking Group at an annual salary of Lit. 60,000,000 ($37,783), and the agreement with Mr. Pugno- Vanoni provides that in any year in which he serves on the Company's Executive Committee, he will receive a salary of Lit. 80,000,000 ($49,505) for such year. The compensation of the Named Executives in 1995 were the result of the negotiated employment agreement described above, and not the implementation of a compensation policy. 11

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain ------- Beneficial Owners and Management -------------------------------- The following table sets forth, as at April 19, 1996, information concern- ing the beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company by all Direc- tors or nominees, individually, and by all Directors and Officers as a group: Number of Shares Title of of Common Stock Percent Class Beneficially Owned of Class -------- ------------------ -------- Albino Collini1 Common 165,974 3.4 Patrick D'Angelo(2) Common 50,900 1.1 Francesco Pugno Vanoni(1) Common 32,971 0.7 All officers and Directors as a Group Common 439,8433 8.9 _____________________________ 1 Mr. Collini is an officer of, and Mr. Pugno Vanoni is an officer, director and shareholder of Finprogetti, S.p.A., which benefi- cially owns 1,786,680 shares. While neither has authority to dispose of or vote the shares of Finprogetti, and disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, since Finprogetti has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the nominated slate of directors and in favor of ratifying the Maserati Sale, for those purposes only, they each could be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Finprogetti. Of the shares owned beneficially by Mr. Collini, 135,974 are held of record by Tairona, S.A., a Luxembourg corporation affiliated with Mr. Collini, and 30,000 represent options exercisable within 60 days. 2 Mr. D'Angelo was a member of the Board of Directors until April 23, 1996, when he resigned in disagreement over the timing of and payment terms embodied in the planned stock repurchase program being considered by the Board of Directors. 3 Includes 228,000 shares purchasable upon exercise of options exercisable within 60 days. 13

Retirement of Former Chairman; Repurchase of Former Chairman's Shares On April 10, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Alejandro DeTomaso, the then-Chairman of the Board of the Company, under which the Company would repurchase Mr. DeTomaso's 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 480,304 shares of common stock at a negotiated price of Lit. 18,400 per share, converted into dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the closing date of 1,637 lire per dollar. Mr. DeTomaso thereafter conveyed his stock to an individual who reconveyed such stock to two trusts, which assumed his obligations and rights under the agreement. Performance under such repurchase agreement was made conditional upon the consummation of the Finprogetti Acquisition, which occurred on July 17, 1995. Contemporaneously with the closing of that transaction, 703,774 of the preferred and common shares formerly owned by Mr. DeTomaso were delivered to the Company in exchange for the Company's interests in the Hotel Canalgrande and the Hotel Roma, its two hotel properties, valued by the Board of Directors at Lit. 4,700,000,000 ($2,960,000) in the aggregate based upon independent appraisals, a collection of Maserati vehicles and engines valued by the Board at Lit. 3,200,000,000 ($2,015,000) and Lit. 5,000,000,000 ($3,149,000) in cash. The transaction was accounted for at the assets' aggregate book value of Lit. 6,629,000,000 ($4,174,000) and no gain or loss resulted. The remaining preferred and common shares formerly held by Mr. DeTomaso were exchanged for an equal number of shares of newly issued common stock, which the Company is required to register for sale at the request of the holder. Each share of preferred and common stock was valued identically because Mr. De Tomaso agreed not to accept any premium for his preferred stock, despite its three-vote per share preference. If those shares are not sold prior to the third anniversary of the Finprogetti transaction, they will be acquired by the Company at the Lit. 18,400 per share price. A bank letter of credit has been obtained by the Company to guaranty payment of the repurchase price, secured by cash and certain investment securities owned by the Company. See also Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that the transaction with Mr. De Tomaso was on terms as favorable as those which would have been available from an independent third party. Chrysler Corporation, which had acquired an option from Mr. DeTomaso to purchase all of his shares upon the earlier of his disability or January 1, 1996, which option expired unexercised, had also acquired a co-extensive right of first refusal to purchase Mr. DeTomaso's equity interest in the Company on the same terms and conditions as any potential purchaser offered. The right of first refusal expired with the option.
