Explan<strong>at</strong>ion of reasons <strong>and</strong> initi<strong>at</strong>ives<br />

Dame Clara Furse, independent Director who, in turn, is Chairperson of the Nomin<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>and</strong><br />

Remuner<strong>at</strong>ion Committee, particip<strong>at</strong>es on the Company’s Board of Directors.<br />

It is the Committee’s policy to present c<strong>and</strong>id<strong>at</strong>es, without distinguishing sex, who due to their<br />

profile, knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience, fulfill the necessary characteristics for providing the best<br />

service to the Company. This necessarily brings the Committee not to deliber<strong>at</strong>ely seek out<br />

female c<strong>and</strong>id<strong>at</strong>es, since the selection procedure is based on the aptitude of potential male <strong>and</strong><br />

female c<strong>and</strong>id<strong>at</strong>es, which implies th<strong>at</strong> no bias exists which may hinder the appointment of women.<br />

The proportion of women on the Company’s Board is 1 out of 11 <strong>and</strong> this is not due to any reason<br />

other than the fact th<strong>at</strong> the profile of the present members is suitable for the Company.<br />

Please specify whether the Nomin<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>and</strong> Remuner<strong>at</strong>ion Committee has established<br />

procedures so th<strong>at</strong> selection processes are not implicitly biased in a way th<strong>at</strong> hinders the<br />

selection of female members, <strong>and</strong> so th<strong>at</strong> female c<strong>and</strong>id<strong>at</strong>es fulfilling the required profile are<br />

deliber<strong>at</strong>ely sought:<br />

NO<br />

Please specify the main procedures<br />
