In line with the provision of Article 70 (5) of the Companies Act, Luka Koper, d. d., issues the following Corporate Governance Statement relating to the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

1.1 Codes and Management Practice

In the period from 1 January to 31 December 2023, the company observed the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies of December 2021, which was drawn and adopted jointly by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (Ljubljanska borza, d. d.), Ljubljana, and the Slovenian Directors' Association, and put into force on 1 January 2022. The Code is available on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange's website "Ljubljana Stock Exchange Rules and Regulations (ljse.si).

In the period from 1 January to 31 December 2023, the company also observed The Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises (adopted in June 2022) which is available on the Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SDH) website Key SSH Asset Management Documents.

The Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Policy of Luka Koper, d. d., on 21 January 2022, whereby management is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and the aforementioned codes.

In its corporate governance, the company voluntarily decided to apply the Slovenian corporate integrity guidelines, based on which it adopted its own Corporate Integrity Strategy of the Luka Koper Group companies, the Code of Ethics of the Luka Koper Group, and Corruption Prevention Policy. All these documents are available on the Company's website Corporate-documents - Luka Koper d. d. (luka-kp.si). Code of Ethics of the companies of the Luka Koper Group was revised on 1 October 2019. The company has adopted the Rules of Procedure for the Corporate Integrity Officer and the Corporate Integrity Violations Committee of the Luka Koper Group, and Rules of Procedure for the Operations Compliance Officer, on 11 July 2022 it adopted Code of Conduct for business partners of the Luka Koper Group, and on 24 August 2023, also the Corruption Prevention Policy.

1.1.1 Governance of Luka Koper, d. d.

In governance, the Company observes the provisions of applicable codes. Any derogation is stated and/or explained below.

  • One member of the Supervisory Board is an employee of SDH, d. d. (Partial derogation from the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises, Item 4.1.)
  • Representation in management and supervisory bodies is regulated by various criteria of representation in management and supervisory bodies from the point of view of gender and other factors, such as age and professional profile. In this regard, the company has adopted a Diversity Policy. The company meets the aforementioned criteria, except for the criterion of gender balance in the Supervisory Board. (Partial derogation from the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises, Item 11, and from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 6.5.)
  • In 2023, the Supervisory Board began the process of evaluating the effectiveness of its work, which it had not completed by the end of the year. (Partial derogation from the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises, Item 6.13.)
  • The 36th and 37th Annual General Meetings were held only with the physical presence of the shareholders, as the conditions made it possible and in this way the Company maintains direct contact with the shareholders. (Partial derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Items 10.1 and 10.2.)
  • The members of the Supervisory Board who are employee representatives have no university degree. Employee representatives of the Supervisory Board are appointed by the Works Council, over which the

Company's General Meeting has no influence. Similarly, the Worker Participation in Management Act, which is the basis for appointing members of the Supervisory Board - employee representatives, does not prescribe the level of education for Supervisory Board members who are employee representatives. For this reason, there is no basis to guarantee that all members of the Supervisory Board will have a university degree in the future. (Partial derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 12.1.)

  • The Supervisory Board does not consider once a year the report of the Works Council on the status of workers' participation in management, since it does not receive the said report from the Works Council. (Derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 14.4.)
  • The Works Council does not follow the recommendations of the Diversity Policy when appointing the Supervisory Board members, the employee representatives. (Partial derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 11.3.)
  • The Supervisory Board does not have a specific training scheme since the training priorities are set by each member of the Supervisory Board individually. (Partial derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 15.1.)
  • When setting up an individual commission, the Supervisory Board does not directly determine its tasks by decision or in the rules of procedure. The tasks of a committee are evident from the discussion of the Supervisory Board at its establishment. (Partial derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 18.2.)
  • The members of the Supervisory Board are charged for the credit rating for the liability insurance of company bodies and executives, which is the only credit rating they are entitled to. Regarding the liability insurance of the members of the Supervisory Board, there is a uniform system for all members of the management and supervisory bodies of the company, which will not be changed in the future. (Partial derogation from the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises, Item 6.10.6.)
  • The Company's Code of Ethics does not contain detailed content relating to the example of management, employees, labour rights, attitudes towards officials and control and sanctions, since this content is included in the Corruption Prevention Policy and the Rules of Procedure on the management system for the prevention of corruption. The Code of Ethics discusses various other issues, which are constantly updated by the Company. (Partial derogation from the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises, Item 10.1.1.)
  • The Company does not publish all the rules of procedure of its bodies, i.e., the management, control and assembly bodies, on its web pages. (Partial derogation from the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, Item 32.7.)

The Worker Director as a Member of the Management Board is appointed and dismissed by the Supervisory Board on a proposal of the Works Council. The term of office of the President of the Management Board, Management Board Members and the Worker Director is five years with the possibility of reappointment. The Supervisory Board has the right and competence to dismiss the entire Management Board or an individual Member of the Management Board.

The Supervisory Board can dismiss the President of the Management Board, Members of the Management Board and the Worker Director early for the reasons set out in the law. The quorum of the Supervisory Board when appointing or dismissing the President of the Management Board, a Member of the Management Board or the Worker Director requires the presence of at least half of the Members of the Supervisory Board and at least half of the present Supervisory Board Members have to be representatives of the capital, of which the Chair of the Supervisory Board and deputy Chair of the Supervisory Board are to be present as well.

The President and Members of the Management Board shall have at least university education, a thorough knowledge of one world language, and at least five years of work experience in decision-making positions in large

companies in accordance with the criteria as defined by the law governing companies. More detailed conditions and criteria for the President and Members of the Management Board are determined by the Supervisory Board. The terms of appointment of the Worker Director are jointly determined by the Supervisory Board and the Works Council.

The HR Committee operates under the Supervisory Board, carrying out preliminary procedures relating to the selection of candidates for the Management Board of the company and proposing the most suitable candidates for the Management Board Members to the Supervisory Board. Before submitting the proposal, the Committee verifies whether the candidates suggested meet the legal and statutory criteria for the Members of the Management Board.

The Supervisory Board of the company consists of nine members, of which six are elected by the General Meeting by a simple majority of the shareholders present and three members are elected by the Works Council. One of six Supervisory Board members can be proposed to the General Meeting by the municipality or municipalities in which the onshore part of the port area is located. The General Meeting establishes with a decision the election and discharge of the members of the Supervisory Board elected by the Works Council. The decision on an early discharge of Members of the Supervisory Board has to be taken by a three-quarters majority of the votes submitted in the General Meeting. Members of the Supervisory Board elected out of the employees can be discharged before the expiry of their term of office by the Works Council. The General Meeting only establishes their discharge with a decision. After expiry of their term of office, each elected Member of the Supervisory Board may be proposed and re-appointed as a Member of the Supervisory Board.

The Management and the Supervisory Boards formulated and adopted a diversity policy with respect to representation in management and control bodies of the company as defined by the Companies Act and the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies. The Company has thus partly pursued the objective of diversity with respect to representation in management and control bodies. In 2023, the Supervisory Board adopted a competency profile for the members of the Management Board.

1.2.9 The Company's rules concerning changes in the articles of association

The General Meeting of Shareholders decides on the changes in the articles of association with a three-quarters majority of the initial capital represented.

1.3 Management system

Luka Koper, d. d., operates under a two-tier management system, under which the Company has three management bodies: the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Supervisory Board, and the Management Board. The competencies of individual bodies and the rules on their operation, appointment, discharge and changes to the articles of association and Company's internal regulations related to the work of these bodies are laid down in the Companies Act, the Company's articles of association, and the Rules of Procedure on the Work of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Significant impacts on the Company's business in terms of negative impacts on stakeholders are communicated to the Management Board and the Supervisory Board through the submission and consideration of regular reports: quarterly reports, annual report, risk management reports, reports of violations of corporate integrity, compliance reports, occupational health and safety reports, environmental reports, fire safety reports, etc.

Conflicts of interest regarding cross-membership, cross-ownership and the existence of controlling shareholders are disclosed to stakeholders. Details of related party transactions are presented in the consolidated financial statements in Note 31 'Related party transactions'.

Specific provisions on the operation of the Management Board are also stated in other general acts on internal company regulation. The Company's articles of association are available at https://luka-kp.si/eng/corporatedocuments.

Leadership continuity was identified as a significant impact in 2023 by both the Luka Koper Group and stakeholders. Ensuring leadership continuity is an important aspect of the effectiveness of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Luka Koper, d. d. Accordingly, the decision-making bodies must ensure that the entire membership or the majority of the membership of these bodies is not replaced within a very short period of time, as this can have a significant impact on the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of their work. The company follows this. The terms of office of the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board in the positions to which they are appointed do not expire at the same period of time, but at different dates (as shown in Table C1), thus ensuring leadership and control continuity.

1.4 General Meeting of Shareholders1

The General Meeting of Shareholders is the highest body of the Company, deciding on its status changes, appropriation of the profit, the appointment or discharge of Members of the Supervisory Board and all other issues. It makes decisions in accordance with the Companies Act (ZGD-1) and the Articles of Association of Luka Koper, d. d. The ownership structure of Luka Koper, d. d., is presented in Chapter 15 'The LKPG Share'.

1.4.1 Convening the General Meeting of Shareholders

The Management Board shall convene the General Meeting of Shareholders once a year as a general rule, or several times, if necessary. The convening of the General Meeting of Shareholders is announced at least one month in advance on the AJPES website, in the SEO-net electronic system of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, and on the Company's website. The Company's website https://luka-kp.si/eng/general-assembly includes all the material with the proposals for decisions, which is also made available to shareholders at the Company's head office. In compliance with the rules of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, all decisions taken at the General Meeting of Shareholders are also published.

1.4.2 Participation and voting rights

Shareholders may take part in the General Meeting and exercise their voting right if their presence is reported to the Management Board by the end of the fourth day prior to the General Meeting and if shares or a share certificate are submitted for inspection.

All details pertaining to members of the Management Board are listed in the table entitled 'Composition of the Management Board in the financial year 2023', which is an integral part of this Corporate Governance Statement and was prepared in accordance with Annexes C.1 of the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies and 3.1 of the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises.

1.7 Management Board's work

The Management Board autonomously directs the operations of the Company in its best interests, and assumes sole responsibility for its actions. It works in accordance with regulations, the articles of association and the binding decisions of Company bodies.

1.7.1 Remuneration of the Management Board7

Remuneration paid to Members of the Management Board consists of the fixed and variable components. They are determined in fixed-term management operation employment contracts for Members of the Management Board, in annexes to employment contracts and in decisions of the Supervisory Board. The remuneration of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board in accordance with the applicable remuneration policy of the Company, which is adopted by the General Meeting and published on the website Corporate documents - Luka Koper d.d. (luka-kp.si). The remuneration of the management and supervisory bodies is audited annually by the statutory auditor. Concluded between individual Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, employment contracts and annexes also specify refunds and benefits. When concluding contracts and annexes for Members of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board is represented by its Chair. The remuneration of the Management Board is reported in the Accounting Report of Luka Koper d. d., Note 31 'Related party transactions', and in the table entitled 'Composition of the management board in the financial year 2023', which is an integral part of the Company's Corporate Governance Statement and is taken from the Appendix 4.1 of the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises. The ownership of shares is reported in Chapter '15 The LKPG Share'.

1.7.2 Management performance assessment8

According to the remuneration policy, the variable component of the remuneration of members of the Management Board in a financial year is capped at 30 percent of the basic part of the remuneration of the member of the management body paid in the previous financial year and is subject to the fulfilment of performance criteria, whereby, according to the annexes concluded with the members of the Management Board for 2023, 70 percent of

the remuneration is based on quantitative performance measures, and 30 percent of the remuneration is based on qualitative criteria, namely:

• Achievement of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development objectives, including the Supervisory Board's assessment of the implementation of corporate culture development, employee development, organisational climate, employee training, diversity, human rights, etc.

• Implementation of internal audit recommendations, risk management measures and project implementation in 2023, including the Supervisory Board's assessment of the actual implementation of the recommendations issued.

These non-financial criteria are used to pursue business objectives in the areas of organisational effectiveness, environmental, social and governance responsibility, whereby the management's performance is assessed annually and independently by the Supervisory Board with a reasoned decision and in accordance with the criteria adopted each time, which follow the current remuneration policy.

1.8 Management and governance of companies in the Luka Koper Group

Luka Koper, d. d., has an established corporate governance system which includes the controlling company of the Luka Koper Group and 4 subsidiaries. In addition, Luka Koper, d. d., has business shares in 11 other companies. Objectives in the field of financial investment management were defined in the Strategic Business Plan of the Company and the Group for the period 2020-2025. A new Strategic Business Plan for the period 2024-2028 was adopted in 2023. The Investment Management Strategy, valid for 2023, divided finance investments into two investment grades with respect to four key areas (integration in operations, maximisation of flexibility and minimisation of risk, financial aspect and other externalities):

  • − Strategic investments are investments in shares and stakes of the companies engaged in activities that are of importance for the future development and operation of the parent company, and contributing to risk control and increased added value. They are managed in accordance with the principle of the group operation.
  • − Non-strategic investments are investments in shares and stakes of the companies not engaged in activities that are of importance for the future development and operation of the parent company, and not contributing to risk control and increased added value. The aim is to maximise profit payment or bring about other positive impacts for the owner. They are managed in accordance with the principle of investment trust.

With the adoption of the Investment Management Strategy, guidelines for the decision-making and managing aspects of management of strategic investments were also set. The dividend policy follows the classification of an individual investment: when acting as a shareholder in non-strategic investments, we strive to achieve the objective of maximised profit payment, and when acting as a shareholder in strategic investments, we pursue the objective of a balanced profit payment under consideration of the investment-development company cycles.

1.9 Internal audit

The purpose of the internal audit is to carry out the function of internal auditing for the Luka Koper Group. Internal audit helps to achieve the Group's objectives by systematically and methodically assessing and improving the

performance of the Group's corporate governance, risk management and internal control systems, and by proposing recommendations for improvement.

It is organised as an independent organisational unit within Luka Koper, d. d., subordinated in function to the Supervisory Board, and in organisation to the Management Board of the company. It operates independently and in accordance with the adopted Internal Audit Charter and Rules of Procedure, which are based on a hierarchy of internal audit rules.

In 2023, the internal audit carried out internal audit engagements and other activities based on the adopted annual plan of work. In implementing the transactions, the risks identified in the preparation of the annual plan served as guidance, and were also supplemented in the phase of detailed observation of each audit area and initial risk assessment. A major part of the assurance service involved verifying the adequacy of the design of internal controls and their operation in accordance with predefined objectives and standards.

The internal audit reported on each individual engagement to the management of the audited unit, the Company's Management Board and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board; and to the latter two, it also reported on the implementation of internal audit recommendations. The internal audit reports to the Supervisory Board on an annual basis.

In addition to the internal audit engagements, post-audit activities were carried out on a monthly basis in 2023 to report on an ongoing basis on the activities carried out to better manage risks.

The development of internal audit is achieved through a programme of quality assurance and quality improvement, implemented through external and internal audits, self-assessment, training, and monitoring and performance measurement of internal audit work. The last external audit, which confirmed that the internal audit function complies with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics for Internal Auditors and the Code of Ethics for Internal Auditors, was carried out in 2020.

1.10 External audit

At the 37th meeting of 28 August 2023, the General Meeting of Shareholders appointed the audit firm BDO Revizija, d. o. o., družba za revidiranje, Cesta v Mestni log 1, Ljubljana for the audit of the financial statements of Luka Koper, d. d., and the Luka Koper Group for the business years 2023, 2024 and 2025.
