In all cases, the proposals for appointment of directors that the Board of Directors submits to a decision by the shareholders at a General Shareholders’ Meeting, as well as the appointment decisions adopted by the Board in exercise of the legally assigned power to make interim appointments, must be preceded by: (a) a corresponding proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee in the case of independent directors; and (b) a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee in the case of the other directors, which report must assign the new director to one of the categories contemplated in the Regulations of the Board of Directors.
