(1)   The lead independent director is a figure introduced by Law 31/2014, adopted on December 3, 2014, that amended the Spanish Companies Act in matters of corporate governance, or Law 31/2014. It is mandatory to appoint a lead independent director when the office of Chairperson of the Board and that of chief executive officer is held by the same person. The lead independent director must, among other responsibilities, (i) be an independent director and be authorized to request the calling of a board meeting or the inclusion of new points on the agenda of a board meeting already convened, (ii) coordinate and gather the non-executive directors, (iii) direct, when applicable, the Chairperson’s periodic evaluation by the Board, (iv) maintain contacts with investors and shareholders in order to find out their points of view for the purpose of forming an opinion on their concerns, in particular, in relation to the corporate governance of the Company; and (v) coordinate the plan for succession of the Chairperson. The Board, in its meeting held on July 16, 2024, appointed Montserrat Muñoz Abellana as the Company’s Lead Independent Director. When Ms. Berner takes over as the non-executive Chairperson of the Board following Mr. Thomas Glanzmann’s resignation, due to the Board having a chairperson who is an independent director, the role of lead independent director will be discontinued.
