The functions of the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee according to its Regulations are as follows:
•Submit proposals to the Board of Directors for the appointment, re-election or removal of independent directors and report on proposals for the appointment, re-election or removal of the remaining directors.
To this end, the Committee will evaluate the balance of knowledge, skills and experience of the Board of Directors, as well as the conditions that the candidates must meet to cover the vacancies that arise, assessing the dedication of time considered necessary to adequately carry out their duties, in view of the needs that the corporate bodies have at any given time.
The Committee will ensure that selection procedures are not implicitly biased in such a way that may entail any kind of discrimination and, in particular, that may hinder the selection of directors of the underrepresented gender, endeavoring that directors of said gender who display the professional profile sought are included amongst potential candidates.
The Committee, when drafting the corresponding proposals for the appointment of directors, will take into consideration, in case they may be considered suitable, any requests that may be made by any member of the Board of Directors regarding potential candidates to fill the vacancies that have arisen.
•Submit proposals to the Board of Directors on policies on the selection and diversity of the members of the Board of Directors.
•Establish a target for representation of the underrepresented gender on the Board of Directors and draw up guidelines on how to reach that target.
•Analyze the structure, size and composition of the Board of Directors, at least once per year, when assessing its operation.
•Analyze the suitability of the members of the Board of Directors.
•Review the status of each director each year, so that this may be reflected in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.
•Report on proposals for the appointment of the Chair of the Board and Secretary and, where appropriate, the Deputy Chair and the Deputy Secretary, as well as the Chief Executive Officer.
•Submit to the Board of Directors proposals for the appointment, removal or re-election of the Lead Director.
