LETTER TO THE STAKEHOLDERS – Chairman Paolo Scaroni

This year AC Milan celebrates the 120th anniversary of its foundation and I am more than happy to be able to emphasize our Club’s leadership in terms of corporate sustainability.

AC Milan is very aware of its leadership role within the Italian and international social context and for many years it has been fostering a series of wide-ranging initiatives. And this year, the new ownership and the new management gave a boost to the Club’s initiatives.

This sustainability report, in its sixth edition, includes, in an organic and structured way, all the topics linked to the Corporate Social Responsibility department that are all the more key to our performances. Detailed reports on all the Club’s departments intertwine with focuses and highlights relevant to the important projects we carried out during the past season. The global reach of a Club like AC Milan, which by its very nature cannot be limited to the mere sporting activity, rises in a meaningful way.

The result is a true fresco of our Club, a portrait of the initiatives carried out day after day away from the spotlights which bring AC Milan closer to the people and the territory and with a simple but major : to open the doors of the Club to the fans and to knock down all the barriers.

Sempre Milan, Paolo Scaroni

YOUTH SECTOR

AC Milan’s Youth Sector is key to Italian and international football. Many talented kids grew in the Club’s youth sector and became professional footballers playing with national and international Clubs. The Club and the many professionals who work in this field and who dedicate their commitment and professionality every day to the growth of the young “diavoli” are more than pleased with these results.

The work carried out by the youth sector is mainly focused on the technical and human growth of the young footballers and the Metodo Milan (ie the AC Milan Method) is the tool through which we achieve our main goal: the all-round growth of young talents’ potential.

Women’s youth sector deserves particular attention as, in the last years, it has become a reference point among the many activities carried out by the Youth Sector and the number of footballers and teams involved has grown more and more. Season Review

In fact, AC Milan youth sector’s philosophy is to broaden the technical and experiential background of our young champions so they can build upon these experiences for their personal and sporting growth. The various teams, part of the Youth Sector participated in 86 tournaments.

Objectives:

The main objective of AC Milan Youth Sector has always been to train and nurture players, but at the same time to train and to nurture men. The moral qualities are as important as football ones.

At a sporting level, the goal for the 2019/20 sporting season is to bring the Primavera team back into the top championship (Primavera 1) and hit the final stages in the national U17 / 16/15 categories.

/ Annual Report 16 2018/2019 Women’s Youth Sector Structure and competitions

AC Milan played the national final scheduled during the 11° Grassroots Festival on June 15-16, 2019 at Coverciano.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 17 Method

From a methodological point of view, we work on the three macro-areas relevant to the girls’ psycho-physical well- being (technical-tactical-relational).

In this perspective, the girls are considered not only as individuals, but as young athletes included in a wider network of relationships and bonds, with coaches, parents, managers and teammates. With this vision clear in mind, we identify the most appropriate lines of development and we adapt them to meet the girls’ needs; at the base of the teaching / learning process there are moments of dialogue, reflection and co-responsibility.

The method, while respecting and accepting diversity, has also an important social value: the responsible involvement of all the actors leads to a healthy sharing of cultures and values, ideal for the development and growth of the young girls.

The assessment of the performances takes place within a multi-year training course, during which we pay particular attention to the girls’ personality and the different stages of growth (childhood and adolescence): key to the method is the full compliance with the different learning curves and the full internalization of the methodology. We focus on the gameplay, the knowledge and the skills developed by the footballers as well as the level of the relationships they are able to establish with all the people who interface in various ways with them.

The Stakeholders are those subjects who shape the Group’s initiatives and who contribute to success of the company. The Corporate sustainability is the willingness to consider, in the business development plan, all the elements that ensure its long-term success: financial, economic but also social, cultural and environmental elements.

The CSR department is the point of reference for AC Milan’s internal and external stakeholders (shareholders, employees, registered professionals, suppliers and supporters) who contribute to both the definition and development of AC Milan’s environmental and social responsibility policies and activities.

During the 2018/2019 season we hosted more than 150 fans in 9 tours.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 19 The “fourth category” project:

Fourth Category is the first Italian 7 a-side football tournament, addressed exclusively to athletes with cognitive- relational disabilities. The project is based on a memorandum of understandings undersigned before the Senate on January 18, 2017 and is managed in collaboration with the Centro Sportivo Italiano (CSI).

The format is the following: 1. Enrollement of the athletes to CSI (for insurance purposes) 2. Enrollement to the special register of LND-FIGC Regional Committees 3. Use of LND-certified pitches, AIA referees, federal justice; the level of the tournament is comparable to LND’s able- bodied footballers’ third category.

Fourth Category organises the 7 a-side football tournaments in May with squads and players’ lists; the name of the tournament refers to a higher level of the amateur sector specifically reserved for special athletes managed by FIGC and CSI Regional Committees. This project involved 7 regions in two years; the winners of the regional tournaments play the Italian Cup. Each Fourth Category tournament is structured in three levels (fourth, fifth and sixth category) so athletes may challenge their peers (ie with the same level of cognitive and physical performances). Play Out and Play Off are scheduled at the end of the season.

All the teams are legally “adopted” by the Clubs which provide for kits, limits to protect the use of the Clubs’ brands and joint initiatives both with the other Clubs and with the adopted team.

AC Milan adopted Briantea and we took the team at the Special Camp in Switzerland in August 2018 to participate in the event organised by the “Football is More” Foundation.

Starting from the 2017/2018 AC Milan adopted another ASD, the “Mai Soli”, based in and we supply the match kits and the tracksuits for the coaching staff.

As part of its CSR policy, AC Milan, is going to develop many initiatives to make the stadium experience available to all fans, all the more inspired by the path taken by UEFA through the CAFE (Center For Access of Football Accessibility Center). of Football in ).

The match AC Milan vs Frosinone on May 19, 2019, in the presence of Ivan Gazidis and of a delegation of the Istituto dei Ciechi di Milano led by the chairman Rodolfo Masto, was the first important step towards the creation of an exclusive stand, placed at pitch level, dedicated to our blind and visually impaired fans.

The speakers’ voice-over is broadcast through a dedicated radio feed thanks to a special device that fans find directly on their seats. The service, permanently active since the first match day of the 2019/2020 championship, is going to be integrated by a team of stewards supporting blind and visually impaired fans throughout their stay at the stadium. The “San Siro per tutti” project is an important step in the inclusion path whose objective is to allow all Rossoneri fans to enjoy a unique and immersive experience at San Siro during the matches.

Special fans’ requests: We are the reference point of our special fans’ requests for help and support.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 21 Interview with Francesca Scarpa – Corporate volunteering

1. How and when did you launch AC Milan’s corporate volunteering? Our Club has proposed us the Corporate Volunteering Project three years ago. I believe everyone, and above all those who then actually joined the initiative, wanted to have the opportunity to combine their work with regular solidarity and volunteering activities. I therefore participated with great curiosity in the event organized by Martino Roghi, AC Milan’s CSR Manager, during which several associations linked to the world of volunteering showed us how they work with the various health institutions and hospitals in the area. Obviously, each of us has been able to choose among the various initiatives, based on our sensitivity and personal inclinations.

2. Which path did you decide to pursue? Together with my colleagues Stefania Carmignani and Patrizia Ortolan, we immediately started collaborating with Lene Thun, an association operating actively in paediatric oncology units in many hospitals offering clay and pottery classes. In particular, after having attended various training courses, we began to carry out our volunteering work in the paediatric oncology unit of the Istituto dei Tumori di Milano and at the Istituto Besta paediatric psychiatry unit. Two completely different realities. We propose to the children who are being treated in these institutes activities and works consistent with their state of health and with the different types of treatments.

3. How do you develop your relationship with the children? A key concept that we must never underestimate when we carry out these activities, is that we are pros who are performing a real job. Obviously, in a very natural and spontaneous way, we get closer to the children and their stories; by spending some time with them, we begin to recognize their emotions and interact in the best way with them. Surely, my best memories are related to the stories of the children who managed to defeat their disease. Recently, I was lucky enough to serve on a day when a girl named Chiara finally left the hospital, after finishing her treatment. It was a fantastic experience and the best reward for our activity was to be able to see her happiness when she came to say goodbye and then to meet her again months later in a great shape, with the hair that had grown longer and with her weight back to normal.

4. How do you manage to bring AC Milan inside these activities? We never present ourselves as AC Milan’s employees. However, sometimes due to the intrinsic nature of the work we offer to children, our jobs help a lot to give life to truly special moments. During the project “La sfera dei desideri “, pursuant to which children had to illustrate their dreams and desires, I talked with a child who had reproduced an image linked to AC Milan. While talking about his work, he told me that he had met during visit made by Paolo to the hospital a few weeks before. After receiving the photo of their meeting from the child’s mother, I sent it to Maldini, who answered with a voice message supporting and encouraging the boy. That kid was so happy….

FONDAZIONE MILAN

Fondazione Milan is a public charity linked to the wider scope of AC Milan’s Corporate Responsibility. It was founded in 2003 and as the Club strongly wanted to set up a structure to respond to the needs of the community, in particular for those who find themselves in situations of hardship.

Fondazione Milan’s vision is closely linked to Sports’ most virtuous values as sports are an extraordinary tool for education, aggregation and inspiration for young people and adults. Our identity leads us to embrace the demands of children and young people hindered by urgent social issues, such as poverty, violence and discrimination. In this context we want to be as proactive as possible in order to be the spokespersons of these needs, creating specific programs that can really be useful to young people for their personal development and for their effective integration into the community.

Now in its sixteenth year of activity, Fondazione Milan has promoted more than 150 projects, while more than 10 million euros have been donated to 118 organizations, located in 18 countries around the world, with an involvement of about 5000 kids every year on average.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 23 Season Review

The projects carried out by Fondazione Milan come from the desire to tackle educational poverty, social distress and many other difficult situations through sports. The primary role that Sports play within Fondazione Milan projects makes our activity unique, specific and identifiable.

These are the grounds of three key projects: • Sport for Change: is the project that uses sports as a driver of change to fight exclusion and social discrimination, and it is dedicated to young people aged 6 to 18 who are in situations of distress. Fondazione Milan develops a presence on the territory to support the network of organizations and associations that help children and young people in difficult conditions, also bringing relief to children involved in emergencies. To date, Fondazione Milan is active with 5 units across Milan’s territory and in Lombardy, 4 units in Italy and 5 in the rest of the world.

• Sport for All: this program, created in collaboration with non-profit organizations that promote sports, health and integration, was born with the aim of supporting sports activities practiced by people with and without disabilities. The initiative aims to create a model and a cultural context that boosts the integration of disabled people in the community, as Integrated Sports may represent an added value for everyone. The main issue we try to deal with is the low number of children with disabilities approaching sports, drastically lower than the potential base in Italian schools. The lack of appropriate structures, inadequate training of dedicated personnel and lack of culture relevant to integrated sports are the main factors that hinder the spreading of sports activities for disabled people.

• Fondazione Milan in the Community: : the aim of this project is to support local initiatives promoting Sports values, respect and fair play. We organise meetings between young people and AC Milan’s endorsers in schools and hospitals to convey Sports’ most virtuous values and to bring relief and comfort to people who live in difficult situations. Among the various activities there is also the organisation of one-day tours at Milanello for disabled fans and their accompanying persons to watch the First Team’s training sessions.

/ Annual Report 24 2018/2019 Project Sport4All

Sport4All is a sporting and social project that was created with the aim of promoting sporting activity practiced by people with and without disabilities, in order to boost social cohesion and integration in our society. The project is based on a key concept: sports practiced by mixed groups, both abled and disabled people, is an extremely effective tool to enhance diversity as a resource for athletes’ personal growth and for the growth of the community.

Therefore, the project provides for the organization of various multidisciplinary and integrated sports courses and events, led by qualified educators and teachers, at the PlayMore Sports Center! in via della Moscova 26, in Milan.

We also organise training sessions, workshops and meetings among the various partners of the PlayMore! network to boost the sharing of experiences and of the best practices in the world of integrated sports. The variety and quality of the integrated sports proposed, the centrality of PlayMore! located in the heart of Milan, the professionalism of the staff involved, the experience of the network partners and the support of Fondazione Milan are the main strengths of the Sport4All project.

The abovementioned elements make the PlayMore! sports center a model of excellence within the city of Milan, thanks to its capacity to accommodate an ever- increasing number of recipients, with and without disabilities, beyond all differences and prejudices.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 25 Sponsoring organisations

The project Sport4All is realised by PlayMore!, a no-profit organisation that promotes sports, health and integration since 2010 with Fondazione Milan’s participation and support.

The relationship between PlayMore! and Fondazione Milan has started in 2016 thanks to the collaboration in the project PlayMore! Special, an integrated soccer school for people with or without disabilities. Between seasons 2016/17 and 2017/18, hundreds of people approached sports thanks to PlayMore! Special through weekly training sessions and special events.

The new Sport4All project has been designed to give continuity to the work done before, based on the same integrated sports philosophy and aiming to extend it to more recipients, thanks to a greater number of sports disciplines. PlayMore! partners’ experience since 2016 is an important capital for the successful outcome of future initiatives at the center. Venue

The Centro Sporivo PlayMore” is the home of the project Sport4All. A venue where physical activity becomes an opportunity to meet, to get involved and to grow. The center is located in Via della Moscova 26, downtown Milan, well connected through public transport.

The structure, owned by the Municipality of Milan, is managed in concession by PlayMore!.

The multifunctional structure is 4,000 square meters and there is a five-a-side football pitch with synthetic grass, a basketball court and a beach volleyball court, all illuminated. There is also a race track with 4 lanes and a play area for children with trampolines. There is also a 120 square metres indoor structure dedicated to indoor activities, 2 changing rooms with showers and a refreshment area / bar.

The DNA of the center is based on opening to and welcoming all sportspeople, in particular those who are in conditions of vulnerability or distress. It is a home for all those who believe that sports may be a way to break down small and large barriers, and let more and more people experience the benefits of the magic of Sports. The Sport4All project, consistent with this philosophy, will allow the center to make a considerable leap forward, towards an increasingly wider accessibility to sports for those who have any kind of disability.

/ Annual Report 26 2018/2019 Recipients

The people involved in the project are people with or without disabilities who are accompanied by professional educators and coaches during the sporting courses and the events.

The activity is based on some fundamental values: the sharing of the methods of participation in the activities and of the rules and, more importantly, the enhancement of the relationship.

The project is aimed at people belonging to the most varied and distant contexts.

Each activity foresees an indirect involvement ranging from the sharing the path of inclusion (sharing of values through web platforms and social networks) to the presence of family members, friends and volunteers during the activities. People with disabilities involved in the project come from a large network of organizations, public and private, with which PlayMore! has built relationships over the years. The volunteers who take part in the activities and who continuously participate in the integrated sports proposal are a distinctive and qualifying element of the project. The involvement of volunteers, belonging to different contexts, matches the need to create a project with great communication and cultural potential.

The ambitious goal is to contribute to the building of a culture relevant to disability that is more and more aware and more and more distant from stereotypes.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 27 Interview with Rocco Giorgianni, Segretary General of Fondazione Milan

1. Why did you establish Fondazione Milan and how did you structure it during its first years of activity? In the years before the establishment of Fondazione Milan, the Club was among the promoters of social responsibility initiatives and activities, to answer to the community’s demands. Fondazione Milan was founded on February 20, 2003 to convey these demands in a more organic and structured way, trying to offer more punctual and effective answers. The first 10 years of activity (2003-2013) were necessary to establish stable and lasting relationships with the territory and with our reference community. In this period, one large project has been chosen every year as well as many other smaller initiatives and the fundraising activity and the communication strategy were built around these projects. All AC Milan’s areas participated in the fundraising, starting from the First Team, to the commercial and institutional departments. The support we receive from all the Club’s departments, each pursuant to its level of competence, is the engine that ensures that Fondazione Milan can continue to develop its initiatives to support the social welfare projects.

2. How did Fondazione Milan change during the years? The changes actually took place in a completely natural way, following and taking into account the general changes occurred in the world of sports, both internationally and in Italy. Over the years, we have developed belief that we should have a greater impact on the projects we supported with Fondazione Milan. The idea was to start support the activities not only with cash, but above all in terms of knowledge and human capital. In particular, what AC Milan has always been able to offer the community is related to its activity, ie the practice of sports, the knowledge of sports and their impact at all levels, from a physical, psychological and social well-being point of view. Sports are also very effective tools to fight educational poverty and to offer relief to children affected by various social problems due to various reasons.

3. Which are the situations you face daily with Fondazione Milan? We have experienced the virtuous values we spoke about before over the years, by getting in touch with young people from the most diverse contexts of hardship, starting with young people with problems of school dropout, especially in the suburbs of large city. We also operate in real emergency situations as in the case of post-war contexts or in areas hit by natural disasters. We have experienced how much sport is a tool that can really and truly change people’s lives and now it is a distinctive element of Fondazione Milan’s activity. Through our dedication and commitment, we have gradually included it in our activities and made it more and more the cornerstone of our Vision and our Mission.

4. Many do not know that among Fondazione Milan’s projects there are also the activities tied to the Milan Glorie That’s right, the Milan Glorie project is a project that was launched by Fondazione Milan and, after 11 years, is still linked to us. The reason we started this adventure in 2008 was to actively support ’s fight against ASL. When Stefano started talking about his illness, we organized the first Milan Glorie match, to support the

/ Annual Report 28 2018/2019 establishment of the Fondazione Borgonovo and to help fight ALS. The very first experience was a match between the Legends and AC Milan and ACF Fiorentina First Teams, Stefano Borgonovo’s two top teams; and that was the first of many unique experiences that, over 11 years, led us to play 22 matches in 14 countries around the world, from Argentina to the , involving 20 cities and more than 800 thousand spectators, with over 1 million euros collected. Throughout this time, Fondazione Milan’s fundraising has been the main reason why the Glories are so available to participate. This project is also particularly interesting and important for us, as it allows us to spread the name of Fondazione Milan all over the world, thanks to the priceless participation of international players.

5. In the season 2018/2019 you organised the match AC Milan vs Liverpool FC Yes, Liverpool contacted us in the summer of 2018 to organise such an appealing match. The basic idea was to play the “definitive” match after the two Champions League finals of 2005 and 2007. On March 29, 2019 the Glorie of both teams performed a beautiful show: fans appreciated a lot the participation of Pirlo, Kakà, and Gerrard and of many others and Road was sold out.

MILAN ACADEMY

Milan Academy is the set of projects aimed at boys and girls aged between 6 and 17 years. The Soccer Schools in Italy and abroad, the Milan Junior Camps and the Milan Experience are part of the Milan Academy.

The aim is to spread a healthy sporting culture among the youngest, thanks to the priceless support of local partners and institutions, boosting the most authentic values of football: respect, loyalty, teamwork and fun.

All the projects are dedicated to the Club’s many stakeholders operating in Italy and abroad, including sports clubs, both amateur and professional, sports federations, institutions and sponsors.

The main activities carried out by the Milan Academy are to teach and to develop kids’ technical-tactical skills and to improve their motor skills. The various programs also involve all those sports and relational elements tied to football, through an all-round vision.

/ Annual Report 30 2018/2019 Milan Junior Camp

In recent years the Milan Junior Camp project has significantly strengthened the relationships between AC Milan and the most important Italian and international partners who have been active for decades in summer entertainment for boys and girls aged 6 to 17 years.

The range of activities offered to families has been broadened during the last season, thanks to the ever-closer collaboration with the Scuole Calcio Milan, which play a key role in disclosing the Metodo Milan both in Italy and abroad while exploiting their strong identity in the reference territory.

One of the strengths of the project is certainly the flexibility of the format, that can be adapted to the most different territorial and cultural contexts, offering tailor-made solutions for all participants. Among the various opportunities, there is also the possibility to participate in English courses and social inclusion programs launched in collaboration with Fondazione Milan.

In addition to a training program structured according to AC Milan Youth Sector methodology (based on the teaching of the technical-tactical, athletic and relational elements of football), the Milan Junior Camps also provide for moments of leisure and entertainment, thanks to various recreational and educational activities. Every year, at the end of the program, we organise an event that involves some lucky little athletes representing the different MJCs.

The young players selected participate in a friendly tournament in the splendid setting of the Rossoneri’s Youth Sector structures, and get the chance to experience the magical atmosphere of the San Siro, parading along the side-lines alongside AC Milan’s First Team.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 31 In recent years continuity has been fundamental for the Milan Junior Camp project.

After the enthusiasm generated by AC Milan Women’s First Team and the success of the world cup in France, we have organised a camp for girls aged 6 to 17 for the second year in a row at the 84 sports facilities, to integrate and enhance women’s football at youth level.

Thanks to this project, the footballers were able to carry out training sessions pursuant to the Metodo Milan with the official coaches of the women’s sector of the Rossoneri Club.

Talking about continuity, we must mention the effective collaboration with Fondazione Milan at two different levels: social inclusion and earthquake emergency.

With reference to the first, which involves the inclusion of autistic children, we established three venues on the national territory, which saw the participation of 40 boys and girls who played together, made new friends and fully enjoyed this wonderful experience.

Sport is also a very strong tool for growth and education, thanks to which many young people manage to regain their future, and this is why MJC and Fondazione Milan organised the Special Soccer Camps for earthquake emergency in Amatrice and L’Aquila. We intervened in L’Aquila 10 years after the earthquake that hit central Italy in 2009, while the Camp in Amatrice is at its second consecutive edition, after the huge success in terms of participation of the 2018 edition.

Families and institutions’ great participation and joy are the reason why we are extremely proud to carry on these social initiatives that reflect in full the values of our Club. They were able to witness the return to everyday life, even if for a short time, of almost 200 children.

OBJECTIVES

• To continue offering a top-quality service by consolidating the existing relationships with our partners; • To expand the network of collaborations in Italy and abroad, exporting the Metodo Milan to new markets; • To create of new programs and initiatives that, by exploiting the Club’s corporate assets, are going to involve as many little Rossoneri fans as possible.

/ Annual Report 32 2018/2019 International Academies

During the 2018-19 season, important innovations were carried out to make each match a unique moment.

MMH

July 1, 2016 is the date that marks the birth of the Milan Media House, the content factory of AC Milan that deals with the editorial strategy and manages all the digital touchpoints of the Club (Social Media, App, ACMilan.com and the official Club Channel Milan TV).

In particular, MMH designs and produces the Club’s official multimedia content, directly supervising their publication on AC Milan social media channels, as well as the distribution process of videos and graphics on a large network of external platforms.

The Milan Media House also assesses the individual performance of the content, carefully analysing the results produced in terms of engagement and fans’ sentiment. Thanks to the study of these data, MMH aims to boost an increasingly innovative and engaging multimedia offer, to the significant benefit also of AC Milan’s business partners. Many professionals collaborate with the MMH: digital editors, journalists, producers, cameramen, graphic designers, media planners, analysts. This broad portfolio of human skills translates into a 360-degree production of content for a Rossonero omnichannel ecosystem, both digital and social.

Among the main competences and objectives of the Milan Media House there are the research and exploitation of all the opportunities offered by the new digital and social channels as well as broadening of the fanbase and supporting the relationships with Media, Partners and Sponsors.

Season review

In the 2018/19 season, the growth and expansion of Milan Media House continued significantly.

Compared to the 2017/18 season, there was an increase in terms of content published on Instagram, from an average of 112 posts per month to the 132 posts of the 2018/19 season. This positive trend is largely due to the considerable increase in posted videos, from 512 to 734, while the total number of published content settled at 1600, recording a 23% increase yoy (1300).

Thanks to the introduction of the Portuguese version of the official website acmilan.com and the opening of accounts in Portuguese and Arabic, we are able to reach a new and important share of fans in their mother tongue: if we consider also the Italian, Chinese and English versions of the web site, we have a potential reach of 50% of the world’s population.

The 2018/19 season also saw the birth of the AC Milan women’s team that generated an increasing interest from the public.

From the point of view of the digital communication strategy dedicated to the Rossonere, the Club’s desire to give the women the same importance as the men’s First Team has been fully respected. Digital content relating to the women’s team has become increasingly consistent within the editorial plan of the Milan Media House, which has distributed all the footballers’ photos and videos on the same social channel used for the men’s First Team.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 49 A further novelty introduced in the 2018/2019 season was that of always involving at least one Rossonera in our social media award “Goal of the Month”, a contest that in November saw the triumph of Thaisa Moreno, who defeated the Captain of the men’s First Team Alessio Romagnoli.

Great importance was given to the coverage of the first historic AC Milan women’s Serie A championship, with all the team’s matches broadcast live on the @acmilan twitter account, with ad hoc photos and graphics.

From ’s 30-year management to the Chinese ownership up to the current American ownership of the Elliott Fund that brought stability.

“The HR department in a football Club is very important because it has to manage many different souls that however contribute to a single goal. The management of the staff must consider multiple aspects, starting from welfare standards and individual development, both from a sporting and a corporate perspective. And we must not forget the cultural aspect that embodies the values and the identity of a Club, especially in a time of change. It is not always easy but it’s our challenge and we must handle it at best”. said Agata Frigerio, AC Milan Human Resources, Organization & Compliance Director. Season 2018/2019 novelties

COMPLIANCE

The Compliance department ensures the optimum development, implementation, updating, maintenance and continuous improvement of the corporate compliance system, in particular with reference to:

Administrative liability of the Workplace safety Personal Data protection Organisations

MISSION To ensure compliance with Pursuant to the GDPR (European Pursuant to Legislative Decree regulations on health and safety Regulation 679/16) our companies: 231/2001 and pursuant to the in the workplace, through both • have adopted an overall process regulatory and organisational consulting and operational of appropriate security measures evolution of the companies of the activities, aiming at the continuous for the protection of personal data, Group, provide for: improvement of the entire • have proved, in a positive and • correct and timely updating of management process. proactive way, that the data the Organisation, management processing activities carried out and control Model adopted by the are appropriate and comply with Group’s companies; the European Privacy Regulation. • correct and timely updating of the internal control system; • organisation of staff’s training

Annual Report / 2018/2019 57 Safety at the workplace

The workers’ health and that of all people accessing our seats, are priority issues for all our Companies. Once again, this year we have carried out the activities provided for by Legislative Decree 81/08, including regular meetings, medical tests, inspections by the Prevention and Protection Service and the Competent Doctor, evacuation tests, etc. The Club’s focus on safety has also enabled the strengthening of the Prevention and Protection Service, flanking the R.S.P.P. with a LASER Safety Officer and, most recently, with a Prevention and Protection Service Officer. The workers’ training, an ongoing activity, involved both the new workforce and the workers already in the “Group”. Privacy

With the adoption of the GDPR, our Companies have accepted the reversal of the trend towards the need to comply, above all, with formal obligations required by the previous legislation, adopting solutions tailored to our reality, fully embracing the principle of Accountability. In compliance with this principle, an internal Privacy Committee has been set up with the Legal, IT, HR and Organization & Compliance depts, that drives, stimulates and coordinates the implementation of the personal data protection system. We also implemented procedures to regulate some of the most critical profiles related to the protection of personal data that govern the management of data rights of our fans and users in general, any violation of the data, and other business-related processes. Therefore, with the support of our Data Protection Officer (DPO) we carried out improvement actions and training meetings. Let’s not forget the active participation in the working tables with the DPOs of the Serie A teams to address shared topics. Administrative liability of the Organisations

Our Companies have now carried out a new risk assessment by interviewing the representatives of all departments. We were therefore able to identify our Sensitive Activities and focus on them to recognize the principles of conduct and controls in place or to be implemented, also through the benchmarks used (legal provisions, doctrinal and jurisprudential guidelines, best practices, etc.), to find possible adjustments or improvements. This activity was developed by updating the Organisation, Management and Control Model approved by the Board of Directors on June 28, 2019. In particular, following the entry into force on May 17, 2019 of the Law of May 3, 2019, the Organisation, Management and Control Model of AC Milan S.p.A. has already included in the list of offences also the new category relevant to fraud in sports competitions, illegal gambling or betting and gambling exercised by means of prohibited devices pursuant to Article 25-quaterdecies of Legislative Decree 231/2001.

DIREZIONE GENERALE

The Direzione Generale is a department that supports the Chief Executive Officer in the day-to-day management, strategy and achievement of the Club’s objectives. It also follows all the procedures relating to the Board of Directors and it keeps the relationships with the ownership, the Institutions and the external Stakeholders (UEFA, ECA, Lega Calcio, FIGC, Municipality, etc.). The department also plays an active role in the management of the main projects that clearly drive the Club’s strategic vision. Season review

The 2018/19 season opens with a historic change at AC Milan. In July 2018, ELLIOTT management L.T.D. UK took over the ownership of AC Milan, with Paolo Scaroni, already a director in the Board of Directors, who took on the double role of Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of the Club.

In summer 2018, there were also important changes at a management level, with Leonardo and Paolo Maldini joining the club and taking over the sporting area of the Club.

From a Corporate point of view, on November 9, 2018, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with F.C. Internazionale relevant to the project A New Stadium for Milan. The two Clubs officially committed to work together on the project for the construction of a modern and cutting-edge stadium.

December 5, 2018 marks another historic day for AC Milan that welcomed the new CEO, Ivan Gazidis, who, thanks to his ten-year experience at FC Arsenal, brings to AC Milan an important background in terms of international relations with European and other institutions.

During the season, in February 2019, James Murray and Casper Stylsvig, respectively Chief of Staff and Chief Revenue Officer, joined the company. They were hired by the CEO for their strong international experience, leadership and deep knowledge of the sector.

In March 2019 Chief Executive Officer Ivan Gazidis was re-elected to the ECA’s executive board, confirming his importance in one of the most influential committees in the modern football scene.

In June 2019, at the end of the football season, AC Milan signed a “Consent Award” with UEFA before the CAS. It was an important and necessary step to solve the long-standing issue with UEFA regarding Financial Fair Play. The basis of this agreement is AC Milan’s strong commitment to UEFA rules and the awareness that the “Consent Award” has been a crucial step to bring the Club back on a path of virtuous growth, built on the solid grounds of sustainability and planning.

The 2018/19 season ended with the arrival of the new Chief Football Officer, , and of the new Sports Director, Frederic Massara, who, alongside Paolo Maldini took over the sporting area of the Club.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 61 A New Stadium for Milan

On July 9th, 2019 AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano submitted to the city of Milan the projects for the new Stadium for Milan. AC Milan and , whilst rivals on the pitch, have joined forces for the sake of football and of the city of Milan to create a new generation world-class stadium for the city and the two teams. This innovative multifunctional district will be dedicated to sports, entertainment and shopping open 365 days a year. The area will include new usability and vitality for the area, a widespread park, a new underground road system for the revitalization and the integration of the whole district with San Siro’s sporting vocation. The characteristics of the project

An innovative venue, open throughout the year The new stadium is included in a modern district, open 365 days a year and in a project for the redevelopment of the entire area.

A new district dedicated to sports and entertainment San Siro is going to become a district dedicated to sports, entertainment and shopping not only during the “match- days” while integrating the sporting vocation of this area of the city.

A world-class stadium The new Stadium for Milan is going to be very modern, in line with the top-class international standards, with more than 60.000 seats that can be shaped according to the needs of the Club playing the home match.

“Zero-impact” plant Thanks to the materials used and the water and energy saving technologies, it will be a “zero-impact” stadium with the LEED certification. The subterranean structure and the shell will reduce noise emissions.

Maximum accessibility, safety and sustainability No architectural barriers in the new stadium that will also provide for separate entrances and tailor-made services for families, fans, players and plant operators. The new entirely underground road system and the 89,000 m2 of greenery and soft mobility on the surface will reconnect the surrounding neighbourhoods and make the flows during the match days fluid and orderly.

A unique experience for fans All fans will be able to enjoy a unique and top-quality overview of the pitch thanks to the comfort of the seats and to the variety and top-level services offered, from the restaurant to the museum.

A new point of reference for Milan A new stadium at San Siro is the decisive step to tell the new generations the history, the passion and the emotions experienced in such an important place for the sporting history of the city. AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano are going to invest a lot of energies and money to build a home is going to guarantee the future of the Clubs and of the supporters. The city of Milan deserves a revitalised, innovative and green area for the sake of the citizens and of the supporters who live San Siro.

1,2bn Investments 3.500 Employments The Clubs are going to invest 1€,2bn for The feasibility study provides for benefits in the the construction of the new stadium and the employment sector and estimates a 3,500 increase in regeneration of the San Siro area. the number of jobs generated by the fully operational stadium and district, net from the building work.

/ Annual Report 62 2018/2019 The path The Legge Stadi (the law on stadiums)

The average age of Italian professional football stadiums is over 60 years, and investments into Italian football stadiums over the last decade amount to just €150m, in comparison to the €15bn investments in Europe This lack of investment has resulted in Italy lagging behind in terms of urban quality, appeal, and overall experience at sports events. As a result, the promotion of the renovation of existing sports facilities and the construction of new ones in our Country, especially regarding their safety and economic sustainability for Clubs and public administrations, has been set as a priority, with a special bill passed in 2013 and amended in 2017. Along with streamlining administrative processes, the bill allows the building of sports infrastructures and of other properties with different purposes (which are complementary or functional to sports facilities, as long as they are not for residential purposes), in order to guarantee its financial-economic sustainability. More value to the Clubs

The way people enjoy sports events, and football matches in particular, has radically changed over the years. The modern stadiums aim to provide more comfort, technological innovation, security, energy and environmental sustainability. In fact, over recent years, some of the top Clubs in the world, together with the cities they represent, have invested huge amounts of money in order to have new generation stadiums, complying with global quantitative and qualitative standards. This has enabled them to participate in top international competitions and has ensured fans a unique sports and entertainment experience. Thanks to these investments, various top Clubs, like Bayern Munich and Arsenal FC, have achieved over €100m revenues a year, allowing them to invest more in players, managers, coaches, fans’ experience, youth sector, and corporate social responsibility. As of today, neither AC Milan nor Inter Milan earn half of the aforementioned revenues from the current Meazza stadium, which ultimately has a negative effect on performances and opportunities for the Clubs. More value for the city

Public-private synergy The existing stadium and land are owned by the Municipality of Milan. The two Clubs share the use of the stadium pursuant to the granting of rights of use (valid until 2030, with the possibility of opting-out with a two-year notice) upon the payment of a lease to the Municipality and the provision of maintenance operations. Inter Milan and AC Milan are proposing an entirely private-funded €1.2bn investment for the construction of the new Stadium and the multi-purpose district. From a contractual perspective, the proposal envisages the execution of the plan and the subsequent management to be regulated by a 90-year land-use rights concession to the Clubs. At the end of the aforementioned period, the Stadium and the multi-purpose district shall be handed over to the Municipality fully efficient and functional. The Clubs shall manage all of the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the Stadium and the multi-purpose district over the aforementioned period.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 63 Asset and economic value Therefore, the city of Milan, with no outlay of public funds, would benefit from a much higher quality stadium and from the regeneration of an under-used area (the paved lot next to the Meazza Stadium), reconnecting and giving more value to the nearby districts. Moreover, given that at the end of the land-use concession both the Stadium and the multi-purpose district will be given back to the Municipality of Milan, the assets of the municipality will receive a 1.2 billion Euro totally private-funded new area. In addition, the City will benefit from: • 81 million Euro in public works (primary and secondary urbanization) generated by the plan; • the payment of a lease by the Clubs after the the amortization of the investment, as provided for by this kind of agreements.

Impact on employment The execution of the works, estimated to last 72 months, will create around 600 new jobs. A 3,000 - 3,500 increase in the number of jobs per year is estimated with the stadium and the district at full capacity.

Why a new stadium The Meazza Stadium today

Initially, the Clubs assessed the possibility to renovate the Meazza stadium and, therefore, carried out a thorough analysis of the property and its management in order to have a clear overview of the conditions of the property and its maintenance needs.

/ Annual Report 64 2018/2019 Facility and location Lo stadio esistente è il risultato della sovrapposizione di almeno tre strutture, costruite in epoche lontane tra di loro: il primo anello raggiungerà il secolo di vita tra poco più di cinque anni. L’impianto nel suo complesso risulta pertanto eterogeneo nella sua composizione e le strutture più datate, corrispondenti all’intero primo anello, presentano un certo grado di obsolescenza. Confinando a est con via Piccolomini, che lo separa dall’area ex-Trotto, lo stadio non può espandersi che in modo molto limitato.

Capacity, accessibility, security The current 78,000 seats make it one of the highest capacity stadiums in Europe. However, over the last 10 years, the average attendance was of about 47,300 spectators, leaving entire sectors empty. Conversely, premium seats represent just 4% of total capacity (and, furthermore, the whole pitch is not visible from the skyboxes), whereas in European top club facilities, the average premium seats amount to around 15%. The current accessibility has many shortcomings, not just for disabled people, but also for children and elderly people. With reference to safety, the facility complies with safety standards only because there was a derogation to current regulations. The so-called safety area, for example, is less than 0.5 sq.mt. / person and there is no more space to expand it.

Efficiency, comfort and services As regards to the pitch, the difficulty to grow and have a steady lawn is an unsolved problem. Many solutions have been tried; however, there has been no conclusion, since the rings (stands) surrounding it cast a shadow over the pitch. Regarding spectators’ comfort, the third ring is highly inadequate in terms of seat conditions, use of access paths and distribution, while the second ring spaces are insufficient and inefficient for the ordinary management of spectator flows. Even the food courts and toilets are below European standards. In addition, there are no service spaces (warehouses, technical rooms, offices etc.) and commercial areas (shops, catering facilities with kitchens etc.) and this is a big issue also when there are top events.

Noise impact San Siro residents have been complaining for years about the noise impact produced by the events hosted at the Stadium, as the volumes have exceeded legal limits several times. It is partly due to the structure of the Meazza stadium because the sound “leaks” from the sides of the facility.

Maintenance and management costs Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations allowing the proper functioning of the current stadium will sharply increase over the next years in order to improve the functional and/or structural efficiency of the current facility.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 65 A new stadium Projects features

Where The Milan Stadium would be built in the western part of the San Siro area, partly occupying the foundations of the old Sports Arena, currently used as a paved parking lot, leaving the Meazza stadium operational until the end of the works. The facility will be North/South oriented with a slight tilt towards the West in order to allow the creation of a big square in the middle of the construction lot, which will be the heart of the project.

The facility The stadium will be made of two rings and have a capacity of around 60,000 seats. It will be placed over a plate that is larger than its foundations and it will be raised by around two meters from the ground (“Podium”). The pitch will be subterranean, placed seven meters below the project’s zero level, thus reducing the visual and noise impact of the facility and providing more functional entrance and exit paths. Consequently, the facility will be much less invasive than the current stadium, integrating perimeter gates in the Podium, and will offer 127,000 sq. mt. for service areas, shops and restaurants, players’ areas, hospitality, press areas, technical facilities, and parking lots, etc.

The pitch The size of the pitch will be the same as the current one, while the turf will still be hybrid, made of a blend of artificial and natural grass. The growth of the turf will be ensured by an artificial lighting system and an air circulation system that are going to create the most suitable microclimate for the pitch.

Maximum accessibility for everybody Fans will be able to access the stadium’s sectors through multiple staircases, along with lifts all over the perimeter, as well as turnstiles. The improved seats will be much more accessible for everybody than the current seating. Teams, VIPs and facility staff will access the stadium through the reserved car entrances along via Tesio and the completely renovated Patroclo tunnel. The parking spots for disabled people will be located next to the main lifts. Two drop off areas, North and South of the Podium, will be reserved for away fans buses and can be directly accessed from their designed stadium sectors.

Comfort and experience The construction of a bowl around the pitch aims to optimise spectators’ overview, as well as to improve the seating comfort, ease of walking and accessibility to all areas, from pitch accessibility for teams and referees (as well as emergency vehicles and maintenance equipment) to service facilities: toilets, catering areas, nursery, first aid stations, etc. An area dedicated to a museum that celebrates the heritage of the Meazza stadium is also envisaged.

Flexibility The stadium has been designed with the capability to be personalised, in order to host the fans of both Clubs according to the nature of their rooting and integrate them with the new stadium, as well as an appropriate venue to host sports and other events, such as the traditional concerts hosted at the Meazza stadium. Two sectors will be reserved for away fans, one in the Northern part, the other in the Southern one (depending on which Milan club is playing home), with safe and easy access. The Stadium will have up to 12,500 Premium seats, with a flexible capacity in relation to the importance of the match.

/ Annual Report 66 2018/2019 Environmental sustainability

Compared with the Meazza stadium, the new stadium will bring many benefits in terms of: • Visual impact: building a subterranean stadium will allow for a significant reduction of the visual impact: it will be 30 meters tall from ground level, compared to 68 meters of the current Meazza stadium. • Noise impact: the stadium is going to be a single-volume building with a closed lateral shell, therefore the sound will only propagate upwards. This will guarantee the compliance with the 60dB noise limit in the surrounding area. • Traffic: roads and parking lots will be underground thanks to the renovation of the Patroclo tunnel (widened and connected to the internal road network), while there will be pedestrian and bike paths connected to the local public transportation network in the surface. • Energy impact: the Meazza stadium is now producing around 2,000 tons of CO2. However, thanks to latest generation facilities, a high-performance shell and the synergy with the Multi-purpose District, we can have a “zero- emission Stadium”. 50% of the energy demand will be provided by renewable sources, while groundwater will be used for 100% of the heating and conditioning demand. The project provides for the creation of a district heating- district cooling network, with centralized energy production, so as to reduce the installation area, the number of heat pumps and wells, management and maintenance costs, and to generate a higher energy efficiency. • Water impact: in order to reduce water consumption, the project aims at its storage as well as at maximizing the recycling and alternative supplies, with an integrated and sustainable approach throughout the site. Among the solutions considered there is also an air conditioning system that picks the moisture, recovers rainwater and gray waters, etc. For all non-drinkable purposes, no water will be taken from the waterworks, instead, the new stadium will re-use water to cover 100% of irrigation demands for green areas and for the twin networks of toilets. • Environmental certification: the entire intervention will be certified pursuant to the voluntary LEED protocol as a further guarantee of respect for the environment throughout the life cycle of the properties. • The impact of the construction site: in order to minimize possible environmental and safety issues for the life of the neighbourhood and the stadium’s activity, all the most modern systems for noise and dust reduction will be put in place by positioning control / monitoring units, so as to allow any optimization.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 67 A new district

The Clubs’ Proposal fully redesigns the San Siro area, with a New Stadium next to the current one and a “multi- purpose complex” in the space where the Meazza Stadium currently is. The area will include many facilities, such as entertainment areas and shops, and will offer services for fans, residents and tourists 365 days a year. Overall, the plan involves 165,000 square meters of gross surface.

The area The San Siro area is in the western part of Milan, along the road leading to Novara; it is bordered in the North by and QT8 districts and in the East by Milano City Fair, whilst in the South it borders the Baggio district and in the West the Park. This area has a strong sports tradition: along with the Stadium, it houses the galloping racecourse, the former trot racecourse, and the recently renovated Palalido sports hall. Furthermore, the area where the new stadium would be built used to host the old Sports Arena, before it was removed after the 1985 collapse. The surrounding housing complex is composed of ALER buildings and the detached single-family INA Casa Harar Dessiè social housing buildings (South) and luxury villas and properties with broad green areas (North). Other important facilities in the area are the “San Carlo” hospital, a point of reference for the western side of the city, and the Don Carlo Gnocchi Foundation, a renowned rehab. The area is well connected by the public transport network, both on the surface and underground with lines 5 (Lily) and 1 (Red).

The regeneration The construction of the new Milan Stadium and its multi-purpose district would provide an important regeneration for the surrounding area. Currently, the stadium in in between working-class neighbourhoods and the villas of the garden city, and it is a “non-place” in the days when the stadium is not operational. The regeneration of the whole area will provide a new destination, characterized by the inclusiveness of the park, easy mobility and commercial and social life, which is, at the same time, complementary and independent from match days. This continuity will allow the integration of the traditional sporting vocation of this area with exciting new facilities and services and the use of green and open spaces. Moreover, the Proposal will translate into a highly valuable urban-architectural project, thanks to the work of the most renowned international design and architecture firms bidding for the project, through the most cutting-edge technical and building solutions based on the demands of fans and residents.

/ Annual Report 68 2018/2019 The Masterplan The multi-purpose district revolves around a big square with, a mall, over which there will be an entertainment space along Via Dessié and Piccolomini (southward) and different height buildings having a tertiary/office and reception/ hotel/conference purpose (northward). However, today’s arrangements are currently hypothetical and may be fine- tuned during the following phases of the process. At the same time, the architectural firm that is going to win the bid will provide for a top-quality project that is respectful of the current surroundings.

The widespread park The center of the area is devoted to public spaces, with alternating squares and specially designed green areas according to the widespread park model increasingly appreciated in urban contexts. Squares, green areas, urban boulevards, water mirrors will be integrated and complemented by other surfaces at different heights, such as the green roofs on commercial areas in the northern part. The environmental benefits produced by the creation of a widespread park over an area currently occupied by the stadium and a paved parking lot will be even more evident thanks to the decision to build underground roads and parking areas therefore providing new leisure spaces. Overall, green pedestrian and tree areas will cover around 89,024 sq.mt. (compared to the current 55,870 sq.mt.).

The new road system The Proposal is supported by an important road network study in order to reduce traffic even on match days. In particular, the Patroclo tunnel will be completely renovated and will play a key role in the regeneration of the whole area, since it will manage the flow of public and private vehicles. Roads, parking lots and walkways will not have any permanent nor provisional obstacle. The design will allow for a smooth flowing of traffic and safe movement also for people with disabilities. There will be equipped service areas (play/eating) with roofed spots and toilets, tables and accessible games.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 69 OBJECTIVES

One of the goals set for the 2019/20 season is certainly to move forward with the New Stadium project: the desire is to continue the virtuous dialogue with the political institutions to obtain the necessary planning consent to finally start the works.

To this end, the Club wants to be increasingly open and transparent with its Stakeholders, fans and the city of Milan, to create greater awareness and information about this project which is so important for the Club and for all Italian Football.

The New Stadium project goes hand in hand with Sustainability. The architectural firms involved in the project became very passionate about the Clubs’ clear demands, ie to offer the city of Milan a new sports facility completely sustainable, less cumbersome in terms of volume and noise pollution than the old San Siro stadium and with large green areas to enhance the new District.

The Club’s other objectives are relevant to the Club’s financial sustainability and full compliance with UEFA’s rules on Financial Fair Play. The lining-up of a young team, with a reasonable amount of money in relation to the Club’s turnover is the basis from which AC Milan must start again to become a point of reference for World Football once again. AC Milan also wants to continue to maintain and develop excellent relations with football institutions and its Stakeholders, increasingly standing against all forms of discrimination and violence still present today in the world of Football, proudly reaffirming the Club’s virtuous values.

As of June 30, 2019, the consolidated Net Financial Position of the AC Milan Group showed net debt of € 82.9 million, a significant improvement on 2017/2018 (€ 128.4 million). This is mainly due to: 1. The repayment of the bond made in September 2018 (€116 million). 2. Procurement of working capital financing sources from new banking credit lines.

The improvement in the Net Financial Position implies a more limited net exposure of the Group to third party financers. During the 2018/2019 season, the Group invested in various business areas including the Milan Media House, corporate structures and top management. In particular, with regard to the top management, we made important investments for key figures.

Annual Report / 2018/2019 73 OBJECTIVES

The AC Milan Group’s objective for the 2019/2020 season is to implement a new procurement procedure to clearly define responsibilities and internal guidelines for the operational and administrative-accounting management of the procurement process of goods and services. In particular, we are planning an automated process to reduce the time between the issue of the Purchase Requests and the orders, with the aim of pursuing efficiency and effectiveness.

The goal is to ensure: • Appropriate separation of responsibilities within the process and traceability of each procurement operation; • Efficiency, completeness, accuracy and timeliness in the purchasing process, respecting the criteria of quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness; • A selection process based on the principles of impartiality, transparency, correctness and ethics, through systems of continuous monitoring of suppliers of goods and services.

A further objective for the next season is the implementation of new Management Control systems. The aim is to obtain a precise analysis and verification of the management trend, reporting any variance from the Budget objectives. The implementation of the system would also support the outlining of a more accurate and detailed planning of the Core Business on a multi-year basis.
