CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICY

Corporate governance at Telekom Slovenije and within the Telekom Slovenije Group is based on the following principles and guidelines:

  • ΩΩInstructions on the Implementation of the Corporate Governance Rulebook of the Telekom Slovenije Group by individual area, which were adopted on 18 February 2020.

The Corporate Governance Policy defines a system for segregating responsibilities and competences between members of management and supervisory bodies, the role of Supervisory Board's committees and the protection of employees' interests. It also defines groups of stakeholders, a strategy for communication and cooperation with those groups, a policy governing links between the Company and its subsidiaries, and a commitment to identify conflicts of interest and to ensure the independence of members of the Supervisory Board and Management Board.

The Supervisory Board and Management Board adopt updates to the Corporate Governance Policy, taking into account current guidelines in the area of corporate governance, as well as binding regulations and best practices.

The Corporate Governance Rulebook of the Telekom Slovenije Group defines the rules, criteria and mechanisms for managing and supervising companies in the Telekom Slovenije Group. The Instructions on the Implementation of the Corporate Governance Rulebook of the Telekom Slovenije Group defines the way in which the corporate governance of subsidiaries is implemented in individual areas.

The Management Board and Supervisory Board function in accordance with the law and other regulations, the Articles of Association of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. and the rules of procedure of the Management Board and Supervisory Board.

The Corporate Governance Policy of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., the rules of procedure of the Management Board and the other documents linked to corporate governance are publicly accessible on the Company's website at https:// www.telekom.si/en/about-us/company/corporategovernance.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE

Telekom Slovenije, as a public interest entity whose securities are traded on the regulated securities market, and as a company with capital assets of the State, took into account the corporate governance recommendations set out in the following documents to the greatest extent possible during the 2023 financial year:

  • ΩΩCorporate Governance Code adopted by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the Slovenian Directors' Association on 9 December 2021. The code entered into effect on 1 January 2022 and is published on the website www.ljse.si;
  • ΩΩCorporate Governance Code for Companies with Capital Assets of the State, which was adopted by Slovenski državni holding in June 2022, and the Recommendations and Expectations of Slovenski državni holding, adopted in May 2023 and updated in August 2023, which are published on the website www.sdh.si;
  • ΩΩRecommendations to Public Companies Regarding Notification from 19 November 2020, which entered into force on 23 November 2020. The above recommendations were adopted by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and are published on the website www.ljse.si.

In its work and operations, Telekom Slovenije also complies with the guidelines set out in the Code of Ethics of the Telekom Slovenije Group of 1 February 2017 (published on the Company's website at www.telekom.si).

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

Telekom Slovenije explains below deviations from individual recommendations set out in the aforementioned code:

Diversity Policy

Recommendations 4.1 and 4.3: In 2020, Telekom Slovenije adopted the Policy Governing the Diversity of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. ¸in accordance with the recommendations of the code. The Company deviates in part from this recommendation, as targets are stated in descriptive terms, but not in numerical terms or percentages, except with regard to gender diversity.

The Supervisory Board began the process of revising the Diversity Policy in 2024.

Remuneration Policy and report on the remuneration of management and supervisory bodies

Recommendations 6 and 6.2: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation as, in accordance with Appendix 2 to the Recommendations and Expectations of SDH, the Remuneration Policy for the Management Body of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. and the Management Bodies of Telekom Slovenije Group Subsidiaries only governs the remuneration of members of the Company's management body, while the remuneration of the members of its supervisory body were defined by a resolution of the 31st General Meeting of Shareholders that is in line with the sample resolution found in Appendix 1 to the Recommendations and Expectations of SDH.

Annual training plan for members of the Supervisory Board and its committees

Recommendation 15.1: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from the recommendation with respect to the definition of an annual training plan for members of the Supervisory Board and the members of its committees, as an annual plan as a unique document is not defined.

External evaluation of the assessment of the Supervisory Board

Recommendation 16.4: Telekom Slovenije did not comply with this recommendation, as an external evaluation of the assessment of the Supervisory Board was not performed. The self-assessment of the Supervisory Board for 2023 was carried out based on the methodology of the Slovenian Directors' Association. Based on that assessment, the Supervisory Board discussed and adopted an action plan of improvements.

Succession system for the Management Board

Recommendation 22.1: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation, as it does not have a succession system in place for the Management Board; internal candidates are appropriately considered in the scope of the selection process.

The Company began drafting a Succession Policy in 2024.

Publication of rules of procedure of bodies

Recommendation 32.7: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation, as it has only published the rules of procedure of the Management Board on its website.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE FOR COMPANIES WITH CAPITAL ASSETS OF THE STATE

Telekom Slovenije explains below deviations from individual recommendations set out in the aforementioned code:

Diversity Policy

Recommendations 3.6.1 and 3.6.3: Telekom Slovenije deviates from this recommendation in the part that relates to specific targets of individual aspects of diversity, which the policy did not include in 2023, while targets are likewise not implemented in the Company's internal acts. In 2024, the Supervisory Board adopted a renewed DiversityPolicy, which sets a target of 33% under-represented gender in the Management Board and Supervisory Board by the end of 2026.

Succession policy

Recommendations 6.1, 6.2 and 6.2.1 to 6.2.3 and

6.2.6: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation, as it has not adopted a succession policy in the form of a single document; internal candidates are appropriately considered in the scope of the selection process.

The Company began drafting a Succession Policy in 2024.

The Supervisory Board starts the selection process for candidates for the Management Board before the expiry of the term of office of the current Management Board or when the need to start the recruitment process for the appointment of Management Board members is identified.

Work of the Management Board

The Management Board manages transactions and represents the Company independently, and is liable for its own actions in that regard in accordance with the limitations set out in the Company's Articles of Association and internal acts. The responsibilities of individual members of the Management Board are set out in the rules of procedure of that body and in the resolution defining the business areas and responsibilities of Management Board members, to which the Supervisory Board gives its consent.

In managing transactions, the Management Board ensures the appropriate risk management, respect for the integrity and security of trade secrets, and acts with the diligence of a conscientious and fair manager.

The Management Board met at 66 ordinary sessions and one correspondence session in 2023. Due to circumstances that could result in conflicts of interest, individual members of the Management Board recused themselves from decision making on nine matters within their own or the Management Board's collective competence.

The Management Board made numerous business decisions and implemented activities to achieve the objectives set out in the current Strategic Business Plan, taking into account the principles of sustainable development and the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. It dedicated special attention to activities to upgrade the mobile network and to ensuring the provision of secure and reliable services. The Management Board actively responded to events in the broader and local social environment, which was particularly evident after August's catastrophic floods, when Telekom Slovenije's network was functioning normally again in the shortest time possible.

With the consent of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board adopted the Strategic Business Plan for the period 2024 to 2028, in the scope of which it also discussed the strategy of sustainable operations. The conclusion of a loan agreement in the amount of EUR 100 million for the pursuit of Telekom Slovenije's ambitious and development-oriented strategy ensured the Company will receive the necessary funding, and stable, long-term sources of financing.

Earnings of the Management Board

The remuneration, composition and amount of earnings of Management Board members are set out in employment contracts taking into account the Act Governing the Remuneration of Managers of Companies with Majority Ownership held by the Republic of Slovenia or Self-Governing Local Communities (ZPPOGD), the Decree setting the highest correlation between the basic salary and the amount of variable remuneration of directors (hereinafter: the Decree) and the Remuneration Policy for Members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Management Bodies and the Management Bodies of Telekom Slovenije Group Subsidiaries (hereinafter: Remuneration Policy), which was updated in 2023.

In accordance with the Company's Annual Business Plan, each year the Supervisory Board defines in detail specific questions regarding the remuneration of Management Board members, the selection of short- and long-term performance criteria and their target values for individual years, the weighting of criteria in terms of importance, a system of assessing the fulfilment of criteria, the method for calculating the variable component of remuneration taking into account achieved assessments, and other necessary content.

The earnings of Management Board members comprise a basic salary, a variable component of remuneration, and other rights and benefits. The criteria for the payment of the variable component of remuneration comprise quantitative and qualitative and financial and non-financial criteria.

According to the Remuneration Policy, the variable component of remuneration based on financial criteria (e.g. net sales revenue, EBITDA, etc.) is 50%. The same 50% share applies to the variable component of remuneration based on non-financial criteria (e.g. trend in market share, NPS, organisational efficiency, development, sustainable operations according to environmental, social and governance criteria).

The aforementioned Decree states that the basic salary of Management Board members may amount to a maximum of five times the average gross salary within the Telekom Slovenije Group, where the salary of an individual member of the Management Board is determined taking into account their powers, duties, experience, responsibilities, scope of work and the Company's financial situation.

The conditions for profit sharing by the Management Board are governed by the Company's Articles of Association. The earnings of Management Board members in 2023 are presented in the separate report, Report on the remuneration of members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Management Board and Supervisory Board for 2023, and in the financial report in point 42. Related party transactions.

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD

In accordance with the Articles of Association of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., the Company's Supervisory Board comprises nine members. The composition of the Supervisory Board was unchanged in 2023.

In the scope of its competences, the Supervisory Board ensured the responsible and prudent supervision of the operations of Telekom Slovenije and the Telekom Slovenije Group in 2023. It met regularly, and discussed different aspects of operations and monitored the implementation of plans. Specific topics were discussed in advance by the Supervisory Board's committees. Based on findings, proposals and careful assessment by those committees, the Supervisory Board adopted decisions and informed stakeholders after its sessions. The Supervisory Board met at eleven ordinary sessions and four correspondence sessions in 2023.

Composition of the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board comprised the following members in 2023: Žiga Debeljak, MSc (President) Karla Pinter, MSc (Vice-President), Aleksander Igličar, MSc, Mateja Čuk Orel, MSc, Alenka Čok Pangeršič, MSc, Marko Boštjančič, Drago Kijevčanin (Vice-President), Dušan Pišek and Rok Pleteršek.

The composition of the Supervisory Board is diverse, as its members complement each other in terms of their expertise, competences, experience, age, gender, work method and other aspects. This facilitates the effective exchange of opinions and views at sessions.

In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, the Supervisory Board hereby declares that all costs in connection with its work are disclosed in this annual report.

WORK OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD

The Supervisory Board performed its work in accordance with the powers and competences prescribed by the law, the Company's Articles of Association and its own rules of procedure. It is fully liable for the performance of its supervisory function and makes its decisions independently. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, all members of the Supervisory Board issued statements of compliance with the criteria of independence, which are published on the Company's website.

During the 2023 financial year, one member of the Supervisory Board informed the latter of facts that could affect their independence. The compliance and integrity officer assessed the possible existence of a conflict of interest in connection with a member of the Supervisory Board, but did not identify any circumstances that would affect the impartial and objective performance of the Supervisory Board member's duties.

The Supervisory Board discussed various aspects of the operations of the Company and other Group companies, and monitored the implementation of plans. Specific topics were discussed in advance by the Supervisory Board's committees. Based on the proposals and assessments of its committees, the Supervisory Board adopted the appropriate decisions.

ASSESSMENT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD'S WORK

The work of members of the Supervisory Board, including their work on committees, was professional and focused on the effective performance of their functions. Members of the Supervisory Board regularly attended sessions, were well-prepared for topics of discussion and put forth constructive proposals.

The Supervisory Board adopted competent decisions in accordance with its rules of procedure, the Company's internal acts and legally prescribed powers on the basis of professionally prepared written and oral information provided by the Management Board. The work of the Supervisory Board was complemented, in terms of content, by the proposals made by its committees.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD ON THE VERIFICATION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT

The Supervisory Board discussed the audited annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023. Based on its review of the annual report and financial statements (including the notes thereto), and its review of

the Management Board's proposal on the use of distributable profit and the auditor's report with the latter's opinion, the Supervisory Board confirmed the audited annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije, d.d. for 2023.

Pursuant to the third paragraph of Article 272 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), Telekom Slovenije's Management Board submitted the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023, together with the auditor's report for 2023, immediately after compilation and the issuance of the auditor's report with the latter's opinion. The annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023 was audited by the audit firm Deloitte Revizija, d.o.o., which issued an unmodified opinion regarding the financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije. The Audit Committee of Telekom Slovenije's Supervisory Board discussed the audited annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023 and found that the annual report was compiled in a timely, clear and transparent manner, and in accordance with the provisions of the ZGD-1, the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards and other relevant legislation. The Audit Committee had no comments with respect to the annual report for 2023, and proposed that the Supervisory Board approve the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023 in accordance with Article 282 of the ZGD-1.

Based on the auditor's report with the latter's opinion, the position of the Audit Committee, and data and disclosures in the annual report, Telekom Slovenije's Supervisory Board assesses that the auditor performed its work independently and professionally in accordance with valid legislation and business practices, that the annual report was compiled, in all material aspects, in accordance with the requirements of the ZGD-1, and that the financial statements fairly present, in all material aspects, the assets and financial position of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije as at 31 December 2023, and their operating results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Community. The Supervisory Board has no remarks regarding the auditor's report. It also has no comments regarding the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023 that would in any way inhibit its decision to approve that report.

Thus, in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 282 of the ZGD-1, the Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije approved the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023 at its ordinary session held on 16 April 2024. The Supervisory Board approved

the annual report for 2023 by the prescribed deadline, i.e. within one month from its submission by the Company's senior management.

When adopting the annual report, the Supervisory Board also took a position with regard to the corporate governance statement, which is included in the business report section of the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2023, and assessed that they are a reflection of the actual governance of the Company in 2023.

REMUNERATION OF SUPERVISORY BOARD MEMBERS

DIVERSITY POLICY

The Policy Governing the Diversity of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. (hereinafter: the Diversity Policy), which was adopted in 2020, states that in order to ensure the optimal composition of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the diversity of a body in terms of professional profile, continuity, experience, gender and age must be taken into account, in addition to legal requirements and requirements set out in the Company's Articles of Association.

The overall objective of gender diversity in terms of the composition of Telekom Slovenije's management and supervisory bodies was achieved in 2023.

OTHER EXPLANATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANIES ACT

uant to the fifth paragraph of Article 70 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), Telekom Slovenije hereby issues the following explanations:

Main features of internal control systems and risk management within the Telekom Slovenije Group in connection with financial reporting procedures

The internal control system as it relates to financial reporting and risk management are integral elements of corporate governance within the Group.

The internal control system as it relates to financial reporting ensures the appropriate management of risks, the ethical operations of Group companies, precise, reliable, timely and complete accounting records, and true, fair, transparent and reliable external and internal financial reporting that is in accordance with the law, the adopted accounting framework and regulations, and the guidelines and policies of the Group. All Group companies must report in accordance with the same accounting guidelines and policies.

In the scope of the risk management framework, the Company treats the internal control system as a process that is based on the principle of segregation of duties and that serves as the basis for identifying, assessing and managing risks, and control over the financial reporting process.

Information support is provided for the accounting process. Internal controls are therefore built into the IT infrastructure, which comprises, inter alia, controls over restrictions on access to data and applications, and controls over access to data and applications as a way to control the accuracy and completeness of data capture and processing. Data access rights are regularly reviewed and updated.

Also in place in addition to internal accounting controls are other internal controls in the processes and organisational units of companies, and at all levels of operations. The Group strives to ensure an appropriate system of internal controls that includes:

  • ΩΩresponsibilities for processes;
  • ΩΩcompetences and responsibilities for specific tasks;
  • ΩΩautomated and manual controls in processes;
  • ΩΩaccounting and business information systems at the parent company and subsidiaries;
  • ΩΩcontrols for the prevention of errors and risk management; and
  • ΩΩthe adaptation of internal controls to legislation, standards, processes, organisational changes,

ΩΩfindings from self-assessments of internal controls, findings from other reviews, recommendations of internal and external audits, and best practices.

The owners of internal controls are responsible for the consistent implementation of controls, documentation regarding their functioning and proposals for improvements. A report is drafted once a year on the selfassessment of internal controls at the parent company and subsidiaries to provide a comprehensive overview of the establishment and functioning of internal controls.
