CORPORATE BODIES
Corporate Structure
PHAROL follows a Classic type governance model, which is based on the existence of a Board of Directors, a Fiscal Council and a Chartered Accountant (ROC), who is elected upon a proposal by the Fiscal Council .
The values of simplicity, transparency and accuracy are the basic pillars of this governance model, providing PHAROL with a structure which is appropriate for the specificities and needs of the Company.
The Fiscal Council, together with the Chartered Accountant, perform the supervision functions set forth in the applicable laws and regulations. In particular, the Fiscal Council is responsible for representing PHAROL in its relations with the external auditors and for monitoring the company's internal control and risk management system.
PHAROL' General Meeting of shareholders, in its turn, resolves on matters as specially assigned by law or the bylaws, as well as on matters not comprised within the responsibilities of the other corporate bodies.
The members of the corporate bodies and of the Board of the General Meeting of Shareholders are elected for a three-year term of office, and they may be re-elected one or more times within the limits of the law.
PHAROL governance model could be schematised as follows:
Shareholders' Meeting Board
The board of the general meeting shall comprise its respective chairman and a secretary. The General Meeting of Shareholders shall be convened and directed by the chairman of the board thereof or, in the event of his absence or inability to be present, by the secretary which shall invite a shareholder to serve as his secretary. The convocation of the General Meeting shall be made with the advance notice and in the form foreseen in the law, expressly indicating the matters to be dealt with.
