Corporate governance

Banca Profilo has adopted a traditional governance model based on the interaction of two bodies appointed by the shareholders’ meeting:

– The Board of Directors.

– The Board of Auditors.

The corporate governance system adopted by the Bank complies with the regulations applicable to listed companies and with banking regulations and is inspired by the principles and criteria of the Self-Regulatory Code for Listed Companies promoted by Borsa Italiana.

Banca Profilo, being a bank listed on the Italian regulated market, qualifies as a company of

greater size or operational complexity for the purposes of the Bank of Italy’s Corporate Governance Provisions, set forth in Bank of Italy Circular 285/2013.

The corporate governance structure, in line with the chosen traditional administration and control model and in compliance with the statute, is based on the interaction of the following corporate bodies:

Shareholders’ Meeting, as the body representing the universality of shareholders;

Board of Directors, as the body on which the function of strategic supervision is hinged;

Chairman of the Board of Directors, as the person in charge of ensuring the smooth functioning of the Board, fostering intra-Board communication, the effective balance of powers and the taking of informed decisions also by non-executive Directors, in line with the duties involved in the organization of the Board of Directors’ work and the circulation of information provided for by Article 2381, paragraph 1 of the Italian Civil Code;

Board of Auditors, as the body on which the control function is hinged and which is responsible for supervising the functionality of the overall internal control system and ascertaining the effectiveness of all the structures and functions involved in the control system and their proper coordination;

Remuneration Committee, as the body responsible for verifying, examining and, if necessary, formulating proposals regarding remuneration and incentives;

Control and Risk Committee, as the body responsible for supporting the Board of Directors’ assessments and decisions relating to the internal control and risk management system and assessments relating to the approval of individual and consolidated financial statements. It also has duties and powers regarding transactions with related parties and/or subjects related to them;

Appointments Committee, as the body involved in the processes of (i) appointing and

co-opting Directors and heads of Control Functions, (ii) verifying the existence of the requisites for assuming office, (iii) self-assessment by the Board with reference to identifying the personnel to be used, (iv) defining succession plans for top executive positions or other positions, (v) identifying the target in terms of the proportion of the less represented gender;

Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible, , for the management function on the basis of the powers assigned by the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer performs the functions of Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system pursuant to the Code;

General Manager, who represents the top of the internal structure and, as such, participates in the management function;

Supervisory Body pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01, as the body with control functions pursuant to the Decree. Banca Profilo, in the board meeting of 19 December 2013, decided to comply with the relevant model proposed by the Bank of Italy, which foresees that the Board of Auditors shall be entrusted with Supervisory Board duties. This approach was subsequently implemented by Board resolution of 30 January 2014;

Manager in charge of preparing corporate accounting documents pursuant to Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, who is responsible for defining reliable and effective administrative and accounting procedures;

Auditing Company, which is responsible for the statutory audit of the accounts.

* For the dissemination and storage of Regulated Information, Banca Profilo S.p.A. has chosen to implement the 1INFO system (www.1info.it), managed by Computershare S.p.A. with registered offices in Milan

via Lorenzo Mascheroni 19 and authorized by CONSOB.

 

 

Without prejudice to its duties under the law and the Statute, the Board of Directors, as the strategic supervision body:

1. has exclusive power over matters that sector regulations promptly reserve to the body with strategic supervisory functions in the areas of, by way of example but not limited to, (i) business strategy, financial planning, general management guidelines; (ii) corporate governance and the organizational system; (iii) internal control system, risk and information flows; (iv) entry into new markets; (v) opening up to new products; (vi) the ICAAP process; (vii) business continuity; (viii) remunerations and incentives (ix) information system; (x) business continuity and disaster recovery; (xi) assessment of business activities; (xii) outsourcing; (xiii) accounting and reporting systems; (xiv) public information and communication process; (xv) corporate management verification; (xvi) investment service disbursement.
2. For the purposes of appointing or co-opting Directors, (i) the BoD first identifies its own optimal qualitative-quantitative composition, identifying and justifying the theoretical profile of candidates deemed appropriate; (ii) it subsequently verifies the correspondence between the optimal qualitative-quantitative composition and the actual composition resulting from the appointment process.
3. The BoD conducts an annual self-assessment in accordance with the purposes and criteria set forth in the regulations, including self-regulatory decisions, in force from time to time, according to a process formalized in specific internal regulations, the results of which are illustrated in a document and communicated to the market in the Corporate Governance and Share Ownership Report.
4. It verifies that the Directors and Statutory Auditors have the foreseen honorableness, professionalism and independence requirements pursuant to Article 26 of Legislative Decree No. 385/93 (Consolidated Banking Act); any additional requirements foreseen in the Statute for taking office; compliance with the prohibition on interlocking directorships foreseen in Article 36, Law Decree No. 201 of 6 December 2011, converted by Law No. 214 of 22 December 2011; the accumulation of office limit.
5. It assesses the adequacy of the general organizational, administrative and accounting structure of the Bank and its strategically important subsidiaries, with particular reference to the internal control system and risk management.
6. It approves plans aimed at ensuring an orderly succession to the top executive positions (Chief Executive Officer and General Manager) in the event of termination due to term of office expiry or for any other reason in order to ensure business continuity and avoid economic and reputational repercussions.

 

The Bank’s Board of Directors examines and pre-emptively approves any company transactions that do not fall within the tasks assigned to the Chief Executive Officer and/or the General Manager.

 

 

 

The number of Board of Directors’ members, as set forth in tahe Statute, may vary from a minimum of 9 to a maximum of 13 and must be adequate to the size and complexity of the Bank’s organizational structure in order to effectively oversee the Bank’s entire business activity in terms of management and controls, in line with the Optimal Quantitative Profile

The following table shows the composition of the Board of Directors as of 22.04.2021. The current Board of Directors will expire with the Shareholders’ Meeting held to approve financial statements as at 31.12.2023.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors performs a crucial function in guaranteeing the smooth functioning of the Board, fostering intra-Board communication, the effective balance of powers and the taking of informed decisions also by non-executive directors. He/she promotes the effective functioning of the corporate governance system, maintaining an impartial role in guaranteeing the smooth functioning of the Board and the circulation of information. He/she acts as interlocutor for the Board of Statutory Auditors and the intra-advisory Committees with which he/she exchanges information on an ongoing basis.

The Chairman establishes the agenda of the Board of Directors, taking care that matters of strategic importance are given priority, coordinates its work and ensures that all Board members are provided with adequate information on the items on the agenda.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors ensures that Directors and Statutory Auditors can participate, after their appointment and during their term of office, in initiatives aimed at providing them with an adequate knowledge of the business sector in which the company operates, the company’s dynamics and their evolution, as well as the regulatory framework of reference.

In the traditional corporate governance system adopted by the Bank, the control function hinges on the Board of Auditors.

As a control body, the Board of Auditors monitors the completeness, adequacy, functionality and reliability of the entire system of internal controls and the Risk Appetite Framework.

In view of the plurality of corporate functions and structures that have control duties and responsibilities, this body is required to ascertain the effectiveness and adequacy of all the structures and functions involved in the control system, ensure their proper performance and adequate coordination and promote corrective actions for any shortcomings and irregularities detected.

The Board of Auditors is an integral part of the overall internal control system and performs the functions defined by Circular 285/2013; in particular, it supervises the functionality of the entire internal control system and ascertains the effectiveness of all structures and functions involved in the control system and their proper coordination.

The control body may make use of the company’s internal control structures and functions to carry out and direct its own audits and necessary checks. To this end, the aforementioned structures provide it with adequate information flows on a regular basis, as well as information on specific corporate situations or trends. Due to this close connection, the Board of Auditors is specifically consulted on decisions concerning the appointment of the heads of internal control functions (risk control, regulatory compliance, internal audit), the Head of Business Continuity and on defining the essential elements of the overall architecture of the control system (powers, responsibilities, resources, information flows, conflict of interest management).

Pursuant to Article 23 of the Statute, the Board of Auditors monitors compliance with the law, regulations and Statute articles, the proper administration, the adequacy of the Bank’s organizational and accounting structures, including the related information systems, and their actual functioning, as well as the financial reporting process, the effectiveness of the internal control, internal audit and risk management systems, the statutory audit of the annual and consolidated accounts, the independence of the legal auditing company.

Pursuant to the Statute, it is forbidden to hold offices in bodies other than the control bodies at other companies of the group, as well as at companies in which the Bank holds, even indirectly, a strategic stake.

The Board of Auditors coordinates and interacts on an ongoing basis with the auditing company in charge of the statutory audit, in accordance with formalized procedures.

The Bank’s current Board of Auditors was appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting of 22 April 2021 and will remain in office until the approval of financial statements as at 31 December 2023. The Shareholders’ Meeting of 22.04.2021 appointed Gloria Marino as Statutory Auditor and confirmed Nicola Stabile as Chairman of the Board of Auditors.

The Bank has assigned the Board of Auditors with Supervisory Board functions in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001. The SB’s function is consistent with this approach.

The Supervisory Board is currently composed as follows:

Manager responsible for preparing the corporate accounting documents pursuant to article 154-bis of the TUF Joseph pen In compliance with the provisions of article 154-bis of the TUF, on 20 June 2007 the Bank appointed the “Manager in charge of preparing the corporate accounting documents”.

The Financial Reporting Manager is responsible for preparing adequate administrative and accounting procedures for the preparation of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements and any other communication of a financial nature, with the aim of guaranteeing the reliability and integrity of the accounting information The requirements established by the Articles of Association for the Financial Reporting Manager coincide with the professionalism requirements of the corporate representatives of the Banks.

The Articles of Association also envisage that the Board of Directors appoints the Financial Reporting Manager, subject to the obligatory opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors. In carrying out his control function, the Financial Reporting Manager makes use of resources from the Administration Area and the Internal Audit function to carry out transversal tests that concern all the company procedures and areas where key controls have been identified and mapped. The Financial Reporting Manager is assigned an annual expenditure budget.

In light of the regulatory framework for listed companies determined by the entry into force of Legislative Decree 303/2006, on 27 April 2017, the Shareholders’ Meeting, at the proposal of the Board of Auditors, appointed Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. to audit the Bank’s annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements, to perform a limited audit of the consolidated half-yearly financial report and to verify that the company’s accounts are properly kept and that the operating events are correctly recorded in the accounting records for the financial years 2017 – 2025.

The slates must be submitted with information concerning the submitting shareholders (their identities and the percentage of total participation held) and accompanied by the documents required by the Bylaws and current regulations, including regulatory ones. The appropriate certification, issued by an authorized intermediary under the law, proving ownership of the required number of shares for the submission of the slates, may also be provided later, provided it is done by the deadline set for the publication of the slates by the company (by April 8, 2024).

Shareholders other than those who hold, individually or jointly, a controlling or relative majority interest must also submit a declaration attesting to the absence of any relationship of connection with them, pursuant to art. 144 sexies, paragraph 4, letter b) of the CONSOB Issuers’ Regulations.
