Work of the Supervisory Board's committees

The Supervisory Board had four permanent committees in 2021. They were the Audit Committee, HR Committee, Strategy Committee and Marketing and Technology Committee. A Nomination Committee was appointed for the selection of candidates for members of the Supervisory Board, and was dissolved in April 2021, as it had completed all assigned tasks by the set deadline.

Committees discussed topics related to the Supervisory Board's work and advised the latter in important matters. This contributed to the improved work and effectiveness of the Supervisory Board.

Approval of the annual report and the proposed use of the distributable profit for 2021

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 certified auditor's report, the Supervisory Board confirmed the audited annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije, d. d. for 2021.

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 2021, together with the auditor's report for 2021, immediately after compilation and the issuance of the auditor's opinion. The annual report was discussed by the Supervisory Board at its session held on 20 April 2022.

The Audit Committee had no comments with respect to the annual report for 2021, and proposed that the Supervisory Board approve the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2021 in accordance with Article 282 of the ZGD-1.

Based on the auditor'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 2021, 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 2021 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 hereby approves the annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for 2021. The Supervisory Board approved the annual report for 2021 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 2021, and assessed that they are a reflection of the actual governance of the Company in 2021.

REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION OF MEMBERS OF TELEKOM SLOVENIJE, D.D.'S MANAGEMENT BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD FOR 2021

1. Introduction

Telekom Slovenije, d.d. (hereinafter: the Company) prepared this Report on the remuneration of members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Management Board and Supervisory Board for 2021 (hereinafter: the Report) in accordance with the provision of Article 294b of the Companies Act (hereinafter: the ZGD-1), which entered into force on 24 August 2021.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that the Company did not have a remuneration policy in place as a separate document in 2021. In accordance with Article 294a of the ZGD-1, such a document should be submitted to the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders for voting. The remuneration policy will be submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders for voting in 2022.

In setting the remuneration of Management Board members in 2021, the Company complied with valid legislation, taking into account the following legal bases, principles and rules:

  • In accordance with Article 270 of the ZGD-1, the Supervisory Board ensures, when determining the total remuneration of individual members of the Management Board (salary and the reimbursement of costs, fringe benefits, performance bonus in the form of a stock option plan, profit participation, severance pay and other remuneration), that total remuneration is proportionate with the tasks of Management Board members and the Company's financial position, and that the remuneration of individual Management Board members is in line with the following principles:
    • (i) the remuneration of Management Board members promotes the long-term sustainability of the Company and is in line with the results achieved and the Company's financial position;
    • (ii) remuneration comprises a fixed component and a variable component that depends on previously determined and measurable criteria; and
    • (iii) severance is only paid in the event of the early termination of a contract. Severance pay may not be paid if a Management Board member is recalled for the reasons set out in the first, second and third indents of the second paragraph of Article 268 of the ZGD-1, or if a Management Board member terminates their contract of their own volition.
  • When setting the remuneration of Management Board members, the Supervisory Board takes into account the provisions of the Act Governing the Earnings of Management Staff at Companies under the Majority Ownership of the Republic of Slovenia and Self-Governing Local Communities (hereinafter: the ZPPOGD), which states in the second indent of the third paragraph of Article 4 that the basic salary is determined in relation to the average gross salary paid at Group companies during the previous financial year. To that end, the Supervisory Board also takes into account the Decree setting the highest correlation between the basic salary and the amount of variable remuneration of directors. In accordance with Article 7 of the ZPPOGD, the Company must send every contract with an individual Management Board member (and thus every amendment to a contract) to the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology.
  • Management Board members are also entitled to variable remuneration that depends on previously determined and measurable criteria. The Supervisory Board adopts a resolution setting variable remuneration at the end of an individual financial year when it approves the audited annual report.
  • The Supervisory Board defines the objectives and criteria for Management Board members for the next financial year following approval of the plan. Variable remuneration may not exceed 30% of the basic salary of a member of the Management Board during the financial year. The payment of 50% of this component of remuneration is deferred for at least two years. A total of 50% of variable remuneration may be paid in the form of the Company's shares.
  • The Company has adopted Rules governing the other rights of members of the Management Board (hereinafter: the Rules). The Company's 26th General Meeting of Shareholders held on 15 May 2015 was briefed on the Rules, while the 28th General Meeting of Shareholders held on 21 April 2017 was briefed on changes to the Rules. The Rules are appropriately incorporated into the employment contracts of individual Management Board members, as explained in point 3.5 of this Report.
  • When setting the remuneration of Management Board members, the Company also takes into account the recommendations of the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies and the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises.

The remuneration of Supervisory Board members and the amount thereof is set by the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the valid Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises (hereinafter: the Code), which was adopted by Slovenski državni holding, d. d. in March 2021. The remuneration paid to Supervisory Board members comprises payment for the performance of their function and session fees, all of which are paid monthly. The Supervisory Board adopts a resolution setting payments to the external members of committees.

1.1. Performance of the Telekom Slovenije Group in 2021 and 2020

Fulfilment of key financial objectives of the Telekom Slovenije Group for 2021

Planned in 2021 Achieved in 2021 Index – achieved/
planned
Operating revenues EUR 653.0 million EUR 653.6 million 100
EBITDA EUR 210.6 million EUR 220.8 million 105
Net profit EUR 30.8 million EUR 37.9 million 123
CAPEX EUR 203.7 million EUR 208.2 million* 102
Investments excluding the purchase of
frequencies.
EUR 203.7 million EUR 156.1 million 77

* The purchase of frequencies in the amount of EUR 52.1 million was not included in planned investments in 2021.

The Telekom Slovenije Group (hereinafter: the TSG) generated EUR 653.6 million in operating revenues in 2021, which was more than planned. Revenues were higher in the mobile segment of the end-user market, primarily on account of higher revenues from the sale of mobile merchandise at Telekom Slovenije and higher revenues at IPKO. IPKO is attracting new users through intensive marketing activities, while the company's revenues were also higher due to an increased number of visits by expatriates. Revenues on the wholesale market were higher than planned at the Group level, primarily on account of higher revenues from international voice traffic and an increased number of visits by expatriates in Kosovo.

OPEX was lower than planned due to measures adopted to optimise both direct and indirect costs.

As a result, EBITDA was EUR 10.2 million or 5% higher than planned.

Following the calculation of income tax (including deferred tax assets), the TSG generated a net profit of EUR 37.9 million in 2021, which was EUR 7.1 million higher than planned.

Investments by the TSG totalled EUR 208.2 million in 2021. That amount includes the purchase of frequencies in the amount of EUR 52.1 million, which was not planned (the amount for the purchase of frequencies was included in a sensitivity analysis). Without the amount for the purchase of frequencies, investments would have totalled EUR 156.1 million, which is 23% lower than planned. Investments were lower due to significant optimisation activities in this area, which were carried out with no negative effects on the operations of the TSG.

In 2021, the TSG increased the number of both mobile and broadband connections, which serves as a sound foundation for operations in 2022.

Given the above facts, it can be concluded that the TSG operated better than planned in 2021 and thus performed well during the year.

Fulfilment of key financial objectives of the Telekom Slovenije Group for 2020

The key objectives of the TSG for 2020 were adjusted due to the reclassification of Planet TV to assets held for sale. The results of Planet TV are only included in net profit from discontinued operations.

When the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, numerous measures were adopted at the Group level to limit the negative effects on revenues, costs and investments.

Planned in 2020 Planned in 2020
(Planet TV included
in discontinued
operations)
Achieved in 2020 Index – achieved/
planned**
EUR 654.9 million 98
Operating revenues EUR 676.0 million EUR 668.9 million EUR 677.8 million* 101
EBITDA EUR 210.6 million EUR 209.9 million 98
EUR 213.2 million EUR 219.1 million* 103
Net profit EUR 24.9 million 91
EUR 27.5 million EUR 27.5 million EUR 32.8 million* 119
CAPEX EUR 209.7 million EUR 209.6 million EUR 173.0 million 83

* The estimated negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated mitigating measures: EUR 22.9 million on operating revenues, EUR 9.2 million on EBITDA and EUR 7.9 million on net profit. Taking into account this adjustment, operating revenues, EBITDA and net profit would have been 1%, 3% and 19% higher than planned, respectively.

** The index is calculated taking into account the plan for 2020 (Planet TV as discontinued operations), as that plan is comparable with actual results.

When the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, numerous measures were adopted to limit the negative effects on revenues, costs and investments.

The TSG generated EUR 654.9 million in operating revenues in 2020. Revenues were affected in 2020 by measures that were linked to the declaration of the global pandemic and two waves of the epidemic at the national level (the closure of Telekom centres, the lockdown and restrictions on the crossing of national borders) due to lower revenues from the roaming of users in the networks of foreign operators and from roaming by foreign users in our mobile networks, and the lower revenues of subsidiaries outside of the telecommunications activity. Revenues were also down in Kosovo due to measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus and due to the reduced number of visits by expatriates.

Excluding the negative effects of the pandemic and taking into account additional measures to mitigate the negative effects thereof, the TSG's operating revenues would have been EUR 22.9 million higher in 2020 and would have exceeded planned revenues by 1%.

The TSG generated EBITDA of EUR 209.9 million. Taking into account an adjustment for the estimated effect of the coronavirus and measures to mitigate the negative effects thereof, EBITDA would have amounted to EUR 219.1 million and would have been 3% higher than planned.

Following the calculation of income tax (including deferred tax assets), the TSG generated a net profit of EUR 24.9 million in 2020. Taking into account an adjustment for the estimated negative effect of the coronavirus and measures to mitigate the negative effects thereof, net profit would have amounted to EUR 32.8 million, which is 19% higher than planned.

We optimised investments relative to the plan, despite the increased load on the network due to the pandemic and the accelerated digitalisation of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the TSG's operations in 2020. However, with respect to all indicators that take into account adjustments due to the pandemic and the effects of the sale of Planet TV, the Group operated better than planned and thus performed well in 2020.

Sustainable development

Sustainable development is an integral part of the business processes of Telekom Slovenije, d. d. and Telekom Slovenije Group companies, and is deemed one of the Group's key strategic policies. We understand sustainable

development as the responsible management of the economic-governance, social and environmental impacts of our operations. We include the principles of sustainability in our operations, products, services and content to the greatest extent possible. By understanding interdependence and interconnectivity, the Group places itself at the forefront in creating a balance between the economy, a profitable activity and civil society. We pursue the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and key content of the latter's 2030 Agenda, as well as the principles of the ESG (environmental, social and governance) model, through which we prevent the risk of greenwashing.

With the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, we witnessed a massive and rapid transformation to remote work and distance learning. Telekom Slovenije, d. d. did everything in its power to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of services for users in a reliable and secure network, as well as the associated technical support. We responded to the special needs of government institutions and the commercial sector for increased capacities or additional services. We faced a sharp increase in the volume of data, video and voice traffic, by more than one half relative to the normal situation, while we also recorded a sharp increase in traffic in accessing global internet networks and IPTV.

In this period of limited contact, we are aware that for many people communication services represent their only contact with information, relatives and friends. We therefore adjusted the work of our experts and ensured (and continue to ensure) uninterrupted, 24/7 control over the functioning of the network and the continuous adjustment of capacities.

Environmental objectives are closely linked to everyday operations, as a number of activities are carried out to reduce energy consumption and limit emissions into the environment.

We earmark sponsorships and donations for sporting, educational, cultural, environmental and humanitarian organisations and projects at the national and regional levels.

We are aware of the importance of ensuring the health and safety of our employees, and keeping them wellinformed. We are implementing numerous activities in that regard.

We pursue the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals through our commitment to our activities:

  • The provision of the most advanced communication services to residential and business users for the digitalisation of society and the economy.
  • The development of comprehensive smart city and community solutions for the management of traffic flows, the measurement of air and water quality, the management of energy sources, public lighting, etc.
  • A commitment to give back to the social environment in which we operate.
  • Ensuring the accessibility of digital services, and the security of connections and systems.
  • The provision of eCare and telemedicine services to 10% of the Slovenian population older than 65 years (around 40,000 citizens) by 2030.

1.2. Average employee remuneration at Telekom Slovenije, d.d.

The methodology used to calculate average employee remuneration at Telekom Slovenije, d.d. (excluding members of the Management Board) is presented below.

The same methodology used in the disclosure of the remuneration of Management Board members was taken into account in the setting of employee remuneration. In addition to salaries and bonuses, remuneration includes all other employment-related remuneration (e.g. annual leave allowance, severance pay at retirement, etc.), all fringe benefits and the reimbursement of costs (e.g. travel to and from work, food allowance, and daily allowances and other business travel-related costs), and all other compensation charged to the Company (e.g. wage compensation for annual leave and holidays, etc.) or charged to others (e.g. care, guardianship, blood donation, etc.).

The calculation of average remuneration was performed in such a way that the sum of the total remuneration of all employees at the Company (excluding members of the Management Board) was divided by the number of

employees calculated based on hours. The calculation of the number of employees based on hours took into account all hours worked and all hours not worked but for which wages or wage compensation was paid.

Gross average employee remuneration at the Company, excluding members of the Management Board, was EUR 41.1 thousand in 2021.

Gross average employee remuneration at the Company, excluding members of the Management Board, was EUR 40.2 thousand in 2020.

2. Remuneration of members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Supervisory Board for 2021

The remuneration of Supervisory Board members and the amount thereof is set by the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the valid Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises (hereinafter: the Code), which was adopted by Slovenski državni holding, d. d. in March 2021.

On 18 June 2021, the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders adopted a resolution setting the remuneration of Supervisory Board members.

Representing the basis for setting the remuneration of Supervisory Board members in 2021 were the following two resolutions of the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders:

  • the resolution adopted under item eight of the agenda of the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders held on 5 June 2020, which was in force and applied for the setting of the remuneration of Supervisory Board members until 18 June 2021; and
  • the resolution adopted under point seven of the agenda of the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 June 2021.

External members of the Supervisory Board's committees are entitled to pay for the performance of their functions and session fees. In 2021, the Supervisory Board decided to apply the valid resolution of the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders regarding the remuneration of Supervisory Board members for the reimbursement of costs and payment of session fees to the external members of its committees. External members of the Supervisory Board's committees receive a basic salary for the performance of their function in the amount of 40% of the basic salary received by Supervisory Board members for the performance of their function. The Supervisory Board concludes the requisite contract with every external member of its committees. That contract applies from the date of appointment.

3.3. Basic monthly salary of members of the Company's Management Board

On 1 May 2021, the Company's Supervisory Board set the basic monthly salary of the President of the Management Board in the amount of five times the average monthly salary of employees at companies in the Telekom Slovenije Group (hereinafter: the TSG) with a registered office in the Republic of Slovenia. The basic monthly salary of the Vice-President of the Management Board was set at 95% of the basic salary of the President, while the basic monthly salary of other members of the Management Board was set at 90% of the basic monthly salary of the President. Prior to that, the basic monthly salary of all members of the Management Board was set at five times the average monthly salary of employees at TSG companies, with the exception of the Workers' Director, whose monthly salary was set at 70% of the basic monthly salary of the President of the Management Board.

3.4. Variable remuneration paid to members of the Company's Management Board

The Supervisory Board defined the objectives and criteria for the calculation of the variable remuneration paid to the Company's Management Board for 2020 and 2021 in accordance with provisions of the ZPPOGD and the employment contracts of Management Board members.

The Management Board's objectives comprise quantitative and qualitative objectives, as well as financial and nonfinancial objectives that are defined for the purpose of monitoring the work of the Management Board. The objectives of the Management Board focus on the long-term success of the Company and Group (e.g. the EBITDA of the TSG, the number of users of the TSG's services, the expansion and modernisation of the network, etc.). The calculation methodology is defined by the Supervisory Board, taking into account the ratio between achieved and planned results during the reporting period following the conclusion of the financial year and the auditing of the financial statements. Variable remuneration is set every year via a resolution adopted by the Company's Supervisory Board, taking into account the provisions of the employment contracts of individual Management Board members and the ZPPOGD. The amount of variable remuneration depends on the achievement of the objectives set out in employment contracts, the amount of the basic salary and the term of office of a Management Board member, but may not exceed 3.6 average monthly salaries of a member during the year for which variable remuneration is set.

Members of the Management Board received 50% of variable remuneration for 2020 in 2021, while the payment of the other 50% of variable remuneration for 2020 was deferred for two years. Members of the Management Board whose term of office was terminated were also paid the second part of variable remuneration for 2020. The length of the term of office during the financial year is also taken into account when setting the amount of variable remuneration.

3.4.1. Payment of the variable remuneration

Variable remuneration for 2020 was set under a resolution of the Company's Supervisory Board in the amount of 1.8 times a Management Board member's salary, taking into account the period for which they performed their function.

3.4.2. Deferred payment of variable remuneration to members of the Company's Management Board

In accordance with the ZPPOGD and specific resolutions of the Company's Supervisory Board, the payment of 50% of variable remuneration is withheld for two years. Accordingly, the balance of withheld variable wages was as follows as at 31 December 2021:

  • for Špela Fortin, member of the Management Board and Workers' Director:
    • o EUR 2,593.55 gross for 2019, and
    • o EUR 8,284.22 gross for 2020, and
  • for Tomaž Jontes, Vice-President of the Management Board:
    • o EUR 6,160.03 gross for 2020.

Employment contracts with Management Board members also set out the possibility of the repayment of variable remuneration in the cases laid out in the relevant legislation. There was no need or basis in 2021 for the Company to demand the repayment of previously paid variable remuneration from Management Board members.

3.5. Other rights of the members of the Company's Management Board

The other rights of Management Board members presented below are defined in the Rules, which were approved by the Company's Supervisory Board on 20 March 2017.

Independent auditor's limited assurance engagement report in connection with the remuneration report

To the General Meeting of Shareholders, Supervisory Board and Management Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.

Introduction

The Management Board of Telekom Slovenije, d. d. (hereinafter: Company) contracted us to conduct a limited assurance engagement with the aim of verifying the completeness and compliance of the Company's remuneration report for the year ending 31 December 2021 (hereinafter: the remuneration report) with the applicable requirements.

Description of the matter in question and valid criteria

The remuneration report was prepared by the Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board in accordance with the requirements of Article 294b of the Companies Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, no. 42/06 of 19 April 2006 with amendments; hereinafter: the ZGD-1). The ZGD-1 contains valid requirements relating to the remuneration report.

The requirements referred to in the previous paragraph lay down the basis for the preparation of the remuneration report (hereinafter: the basis of preparation), and we believe they represent appropriate criteria for the formulation of our limited assurance conclusion.

In accordance with the requirements of paragraph 6 of Article 294b of the ZGD-1, an auditor shall review a remuneration report to determine whether it contains the data required under paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 294b of the ZGD-1. The report in question meets those requirements.

Responsibility of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

The Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board are responsible for the preparation and completeness of the remuneration report and for the latter's compliance with the basis of preparation. The Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board are also responsible for the selection and use of appropriate methods for preparing financial data and non-financial information, and for designing, implementing and maintaining systems and processes in connection with the internal controls and accounting records required for the preparation of a remuneration report that is free from material misstatements and that is in line with valid requirements.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to assess the completeness and compliance of the information contained in the attached remuneration report with applicable requirements and, based on the evidence obtained, to issue an independent auditor's report that has been prepared on the basis of the limited assurance engagement that we conducted.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (revised) – Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information. That standard requires that we act in accordance with ethical requirements, and plan and conduct procedures to obtain limited assurance as to whether the remuneration report is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable requirements.

A limited assurance engagement is significantly less extensive than a reasonable assurance engagement, both in terms of procedures conducted in connection with the assessment of risks, including the understanding of internal controls, and procedures conducted in response to assessed risks.

Requirements with regard to quality control

Our company applies the International Standard on Quality Control 1, according to which it maintains a comprehensive quality control system, including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We work in accordance with the independence and ethical requirements of the international Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including international standards of independence) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants. That code is based on the fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and diligence, confidentiality and professional conduct.

Summary of work performed

The purpose of planned and conducted procedures was to obtain limited assurance as to whether the remuneration report is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable requirements, and that it is complete and free from material misstatements and omissions. Our procedures primarily included the following:

  • an analysis of the remuneration report and a comparison of the information contained therein with valid requirements;
  • an analysis of the resolutions of the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders regarding the remuneration policy for members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, and any supplemental resolutions of the Supervisory Board and other documents governing the remuneration policy that are subject to disclosure in the remuneration report;
  • an understanding of the procedures adopted by the Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board to ensure compliance with requirements regarding the preparation of the remuneration report, including an understanding of the relevant internal control procedures to the extent necessary to assess the risks of the material misstatement or omission of essential information;
  • the definition of a list of persons for whom there is a requirement to include information in the remuneration report by means of comparison with corporate documents, and verification by making enquiries with the persons responsible for the preparation of the report and, where we deem it appropriate, directly with persons obliged to provide information as to whether the remuneration report discloses all information covered by the criteria for the preparation of that report;
  • where we deem it appropriate, an assessment of the compliance of the remuneration report with applicable regulations, the reconciliation of the financial data regarding remuneration presented in the remuneration report with the Company's books of account and the relevant source documents; and
  • where we deem it appropriate, an assessment of the completeness of the remuneration report with respect to applicable regulations, and a reconciliation with the relevant source documents to determine whether the non-financial information that must be disclosed in the remuneration report is precise and does not omit material facts.

The remuneration report is not subject to auditing as defined in the International Standards on Auditing. In conducting assurance procedures, we did not audit or study the historical accounting information used to prepare the remuneration report. We thus take no responsibility whatsoever for the issuing or updating of any reports or opinions regarding the Company's historical accounting information.

We believe that the evidence obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our limited assurance conclusion.

Limited assurance conclusion

Based on the limited assurance procedures conducted and the evidence obtained, we hereby confirm that nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the remuneration report is incomplete or that it is not in accordance with the valid requirements set out in the basis for preparation in all material aspects.

Highlighted matter: the remuneration policy has not yet been approved by shareholders.

Warning with respect to note 1. Introduction in the remuneration report, in which the Management Board states that the remuneration policy had not yet been approved by shareholders by the date of issue of the remuneration report, as required by the law.

resolution:

6.1. The General Meeting of Shareholders has been briefed on and has approved the remuneration policy for members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Management Board and Supervisory Board.

Explanatory note:

In accordance with Article 294a of the ZGD-1, a company involved in trading securities on an organised market must formulate a remuneration policy for the management and supervisory bodies. Such policy must be submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders for voting and approval. The remuneration policy must be clear and understandable, and in connection with the individual components of remuneration must contain information such as that stated in the second paragraph of Article 294a of the ZGD-1.

Enclosure:

The remuneration policy for members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Management Board and Supervisory Board.

In accordance with Article 294a of the Companies Act (hereinafter: ZGD-1) the company Telekom Slovenije, d.d., Cigaletova ulica 15, 1000 Ljubljana, hereby adopts the following company bylaw

REMUNERATION POLICY FOR MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD OF TELEKOM SLOVENIJE, D.D.

1. Purpose and objective of the remuneration policy

The relevant remuneration policy for members of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.'s Management Board and Supervisory Board (hereinafter: remuneration policy) applies to members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. (hereinafter: the Company).

The aims of the remuneration policy are as follows:

  • facilitate the recruitment of superlative, competent and experienced experts in various professional fields for the Management and Supervisory Boards of the Company;
  • motivate members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board to pursue responsible, high-quality and effective work and to achieve and exceed the set targets;
  • determine the level of remuneration for members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board;

and in this way promote the development and fulfilment of the business strategy and the long-term development and sustainability of the Company.

2. Basis for defining the remuneration policy

The basis for determining the level of remuneration for members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board is the currently valid legislation governing the operation of commercial companies, and the legislation governing the remuneration of members of the management boards and supervisory boards of companies majority owned by the Slovenian state. The remuneration policy is implemented in compliance with the currently valid legal framework, represented by the Act Governing the Remuneration of Managers of Companies with Majority Ownership held by the Republic of Slovenia or Self-Governing Local Communities (hereinafter: ZPPOGD) and the Decree setting the highest correlation between the basic salary and the amount of variable remuneration of directors (hereinafter: Decree).

When setting the remuneration of Management Board and Supervisory Board members, the Company also takes into account by analogy the recommendations of the currently applicable Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies and the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises, along with the Recommendations and Expectations of Slovenian Sovereign Holding (hereinafter all the stated documents are referred to jointly as: recommendations).

Equally, in determining the level of remuneration for members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, account is taken of the criteria for results achieved and the financial standing of the Company, specifically in appropriate proportion to their powers, duties, experience, responsibilities and the scope and quality of their work.

3. Jurisdiction

The level of remuneration for members of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. (hereinafter: Supervisory Board).

The level of remuneration for members of the Company's Supervisory Board is determined by the General Meeting of Shareholders, but the Supervisory Board decides on the remuneration of external members of Supervisory Board committees.

The remuneration policy is adopted by the Supervisory Board, and is then submitted for voting and approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The remuneration policy is also submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders for a vote upon any significant change, and in any event at least every four years. Voting on the remuneration policy in the General Meeting of Shareholders is consultative in nature.

4. Remuneration of the Management Board

The remuneration policy covers all the remuneration that may be received by members of the Management Board.

The remuneration of members of the Company's Management Board comprises the basic gross salary (hereinafter: basic salary), the variable portion of pay for operating performance (hereinafter: variable remuneration), certain other rights and privileges and in certain cases also severance pay.

4.1. Basic salary

The basic salary of members of the Management Board is determined by the Company's Supervisory Board, taking account of the relevant legislation, recommendations, the criteria set out below, a comparison of salaries in companies of comparable size and activity, and the skills and competences of the Management Board members. The basic salary of Management Board members includes all bonuses (such as seniority bonus).

Taking account of the valid legislation and recommendations, in determining the basic salary for Board members the following criteria in particular are applied:

  • size of company, which is assessed using the following criteria:
    • total assets
    • net sales revenues
    • average number of employees in the last financial year;
  • complexity of operations, which is assessed using the following criteria:
    • organisational complexity (number and size of subsidiaries in the group, regulatory complexity, complexity of risk management)
    • internationalisation of operations (number and size of subsidiaries abroad, share of income generated internationally)
    • complexity of immediate economic surroundings (level of competitiveness in the sector, competitiveness in major markets, stage of development of the sector, importance of research and development)
    • complexity of key products (stage of development of key products, technological complexity, risks and potential growth of sales)
    • regulation of activities (level of regulation of income/expenditure, performance of a commercial public service).

In view of the above criteria, the basic salary for a member of the Management Board can reach a maximum of EUR 20,000 gross. Irrespective of the preceding sentence, for the period in which the Company is bound by the provisions of the valid ZPPOGD and the Decree, the basic salary of a Management Board member is determined only in relation to the average pay provided in companies of the Telekom Slovenije Group (hereinafter: TSG) in the preceding financial year. With regard to the Decree, the basic salary for Management Board members can amount to a maximum of five times the average gross salary in the TSG, where the salary of an individual Board member is set taking into account their competences, duties, experience, responsibilities, scope of work and the financial standing of the Company.

4.2. Variable remuneration

The variable portion of remuneration for members of the Management Board is determined by the Company's Supervisory Board, taking account of the relevant legislation and recommendations and on the basis of criteria determined in advance.

The basis for setting targets for Management Board members for an individual year is the confirmed Strategic Business Plan of the Telekom Slovenije Group and certain key indicators deriving from it. The targets are focused on long-term success of the Company and the TSG, and comprise quantitative and qualitative objectives, as well as financial and non-financial objectives that contribute to the long-term and short-term success of the Company. The non-financial criteria include those that indicate observance of the interests of the Company stakeholders, whereby the sustainability and social objectives of operations are pursued.

The remuneration policy determines the system of criteria regarding which the performance of the Management Board and individual members is measured; the right of Board members to receive the variable portion of their remuneration depends on the fulfilment of these criteria. The variable remuneration is based on the business performance of the Company and TSG and guides Management Board members to achieve the targets stemming from the business strategy, especially in achieving long-term success and development, sustainable operations and durability of the Company.

The variable remuneration of a Management Board member for the period when the Company is bound by the provisions of the valid ZPPOGD may not exceed the legal limits in the amount of 30% of basic salary paid to the Board member in the financial year, which represents a total of 3.6 average salary payments, or in the event that the Company is no longer bound to abide by the ZPPOGD, this amounts to a maximum of 60% of the basic salary paid in the previous financial year, as provided by the recommendations.

4.2.1. Financial and non-financial criteria

The criteria for measuring performance and determining the variable remuneration are composed of financial and non-financial criteria and qualitative and quantitative criteria, such as:

Targets for members of the
Management Board for 2021
Unit/Measurement Type of target
EBITDA OF THE TSG EUR thousand quantitative,
financial
Sales revenue of the TSG EUR thousand quantitative,
financial
Number of users of TSG no. of connections
Total transactional NPS quantitative, non-financial
Expansion and modernisation of network %
Sustainable operations qualitative quantitative, non-financial
Fulfilment of social responsibility targets qualitative

The variable remuneration based on financial criteria amounts to at least 50%, while that based on non-financial criteria is at least 30%. The variable portion of remuneration is structured such that the proportions of the part of the variable portion of remuneration that rewards long-term performance and the part that rewards short-term performance are 50%.

The Company's Supervisory Board determines for an individual year the weights for specific targets, and may also determine sub-targets for specific areas.

4.2.2. Assessment of fulfilment of criteria and determination of variable remuneration

Detailed criteria for determining the variable remuneration of members of the Management Board for an individual year are formulated and adopted by the Company's Supervisory Board, following the adoption of the annual business plan for the specific financial year. Upon the adoption of the annual business plan, each year the Supervisory Board confirms the specific financial and non-financial targets needed to determine the variable portion of remuneration for Management Board members.

Competence for determining the successful performance of the Management Board and the variable remuneration of Management Board members in accordance with this remuneration policy is held by the Supervisory Board, which determines the variable remuneration of Management Board members by decision after the conclusion of each financial year or after the confirmation of the audited annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije, d.d.

The calculation of the level of variable remuneration is based on the performance index (IUSP) as a weighted average of indexes for specific targets.

Below is an example of calculating IUSP:

IUSP = (index of EBITDA of the TSG x weight) + (index of income from sales of TSG x weight) + (index of number of users of TSG x weight) + (index of total transactional NPS x weight) + (index of expansion and modernisation of network x weight) + (index of sustainable operation x weight) + (estimate of targets of fulfilment of social responsibility x weight).

If in a financial year the planned results have been achieved on average, the value of the performance index is 100. If the index is higher than 100, the planned results were, on average, exceeded; if the index is less than 100, the planned results were, on average, not achieved.

The calculation of the level of variable remuneration (VR) for a member of the Management Board is made based on the performance index in the following way, which may be appropriately adjusted in the event that the company is no longer bound to abide by the provisions of the ZPPOGD:

  • minimum performance index for payment of variable remuneration (Iusp VRmin) = 100
  • required performance index for payment of maximum level of variable remuneration Iusp VRmax = 105
  • minimum level of variable remuneration (VRmin) = 1.8 salary payments
  • maximum level of variable remuneration (VRmax) = 3.6 salary payments
  • calculation of variable remuneration in number of salary payments in the case 100 <= Iusp >=105:
  • VR = VRmin + (Iusp 100) / (Iusp VRmax Iusp VRmin) * (VRmax VRmin)

In order for the variable remuneration to be payable, five targets of Management Board members must be achieved.

For justified reasons the Supervisory Board may decide that the variable remuneration for the financial year be paid only to certain Management Board members. The following are deemed to be justified reasons for which the Supervisory Board may decide that, despite the fulfilment of the criteria, an individual member of the Management Board should not be paid the variable remuneration for the financial year:

  • performance of the function of member of the Management Board for less than six months in the period in question;
  • identified irregularities, exceeding authority or abuse on the part of the Management Board member in performing their office;
  • recall of a Management Board member for the reasons set out in the first, second and third indents of the second paragraph of Article 268 of the ZGD-1;
  • any other conduct by the Management Board member that caused harm to the Company or damaged its reputation.

Where justified reasons exist, or in extraordinary circumstances, the Supervisory Board may issue a decision valid just for the financial year being decided upon, irrespective of the provisions of this remuneration policy, appropriately adjusting the criteria for determining the variable remuneration of Management Board members.

4.2.3. Deferred payment and repayment of already paid variable remuneration

The payment of 50% of the variable remuneration is deferred for at least two years. If the mandate of the member of the Management Board expires before the expiry of the payment deferral period, that member is entitled to the deferred 50% of the variable remuneration at the end of the mandate. If he or she was a member of the Management Board for less than two years, he or she shall not be entitled to 50% of the variable remuneration. Prior to payment of the deferred portion of the variable remuneration, the successful fulfilment of long-term targets shall be verified.

Management Board members must return already paid variable remuneration or a proportion thereof within three years of it being paid out, in the following cases:

  • the legally enforceable finding that the annual report is null and void, and the reasons for such a finding relate to items or facts that served as the basis for the setting of variable remuneration;
  • based on a special auditor's report, where it is determined that the criteria for awarding variable remuneration have been applied erroneously, or that in this process the crucial accounting, financial and other data and indicators were not properly determined or applied; and
  • in all other cases as provided by the valid legislation.

4.3. Other rights and fringe benefits

  • an annual leave allowance in the amount received by the Company's other employees;

  • the right to use a company car for business and private purposes in the value in retail prices including VAT of up to EUR 60,000, or up to EUR 70,000 for a more environmentally friendly vehicle; if a company car is used solely for business purposes, a Management Board member is entitled to a travel allowance to and from work in the same amount as the Company's other employees; a company car that is also used for private purposes should not be replaced sooner than in three years or before it has been driven at least 150,000 kilometres, and before this only in specially justified cases and with the consent of the supervisory body;
  • the right to an annual preventive medical examination for managers in the amount of up to EUR 1,500;
  • the right to payment of an annual premium for various forms of insurance (such as supplementary pension insurance, collective accident insurance, personal insurance in the amount of one monthly basic salary, based on the relevant employment contract, in proportion to the duration of their employment as a member of the Management Board during an individual calendar year) and liability insurance in accordance with the annual contract with an insurance company under the same conditions as apply to any member of the Supervisory Board and members of management and supervisory bodies in TSG companies;

4.4. Severance pay

Severance pay may be paid to a Management Board member only in the event of early termination of contract, and may be determined in the maximum amount of six times the basic monthly salary for a Board member or in the event that the Company is no longer bound by the provisions of the ZPPOGD, this may be in the maximum amount of nine times the basic monthly salary for a Management Board member in the case of early termination of mandate sooner than half way through the mandate. A Management Board member is entitled to severance pay only if they performed their function uninterrupted for at least one year prior to the early termination of function. Management Board members shall not be entitled to severance pay in the following cases:

  • if they withdraw from their office or cancel their contract;
  • if they are recalled for the reasons set out in the first, second and third indents of the second paragraph of Article 268 of the ZGD-1; and
  • in all other cases where the valid legislation prohibits the payment of severance pay.

In no event may the amount of severance pay be greater than the total amount of the gross basic portion of remuneration that the Management Board member would receive up to the end of their mandate according to the contract, if the mandate was completed in the normal way.

A Management Board member who, following early termination of contract is employed in the Company or in a subsidiary or affiliate, may be entitled to severance pay in the maximum amount of the difference between the gross basic portion of remuneration under the previous contract and the gross basic salary under the new contract (in the relevant multiple), but without prejudice to the previous paragraph of this point. The previous sentence of this paragraph shall not apply while the Company is bound by the provisions of the currently valid ZPPOGD and Decree.

  • the employment contract is terminated:
    • o by amicable agreement on termination;
    • o by ordinary or extraordinary cancellation;

    • o in other in cases laid down by the valid legislation;

  • all remuneration shall be paid to Management Board members exclusively in the form of money, and not in the form of shares or share options.

4.6. Procedure for defining, implementing and reviewing the remuneration policy, and the prevention and control of conflicts of interest

Remuneration for members of the Management Board shall be laid down in the contract concluded between the Company and Management Board members, in accordance with the rules and in the amount set out in section 4 of this remuneration policy. In accordance with Article 262 of the ZGD-1, the Company's Supervisory Board must approve the contract.

As part of its recruitment procedures in the selection of candidates for Management Board members, and also during the term in office of Management Board members, the Company checks for instances of possible conflicts of interest. The above also applies to assessments of the existence of possible conflicts of interest for an individual Management Board member in connection with the remuneration of a Board member. The obligation to disclose the existence of a possible conflict of interest on the part of candidates for members of the Management Board or on the part of Management Board members during their term in office stems from the Slovenian Sovereign Holding Company Act (hereinafter: ZSDH-1), whereby:

  • (i) before a decision on appointment candidates must submit to the body appointing them a statement in which they disclose whether any circumstances have been found that could cause a conflict of interest;
  • (ii) during their term in office, members of the Management Board must immediately disclose circumstances that could cause a conflict of interest, and where necessary remove themselves from further work, influence or decision-making on any matter where a conflict of interest exists;

(iii) members of the Management Board must submit a statement on associated persons to the compliance and integrity officer. In accordance with the valid legislation and regulations, the Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Company shall also conduct ongoing assessments of the existence of possible conflicts of interest for members of the Management Board where circumstances arise that could cause a conflict of interest.

5. Remuneration of Supervisory Board members

5.1. Remuneration

Payment for attending Supervisory Board correspondence sessions or committee meetings shall amount to 80% of the session fee.
  • A supplement for special tasks where they involve the actual performance of unusually long tasks of aboveaverage complexity, typically for a period of at least one month. The level of the supplement for a Supervisory Board member for performing special tasks shall be determined by the Supervisory Board in an official decision.

  • Reimbursement of the costs of education and training in the amount of EUR 1,000 per member for an individual financial year.

  • Regardless of the number of committees of which they are a member or chair, an individual member of a Supervisory Board committee shall be entitled to supplemental payments for the performance of their function during an individual financial year until the total amount of those supplemental payments reaches 50% of the basic salary.
  • Supplements for special tasks may not exceed in total 50% of the basic salary during an individual financial year for an individual Supervisory Board member (regardless of the number of special tasks performed).

Supervisory Board members shall be entitled to receive a basic salary, a supplement for the performance of their function and a supplement for special tasks in proportionate monthly payments for as long as they perform their function and/or special task. Monthly payments shall be equal to one-twelfth of the above-stated annual amounts. Depending on the circumstances, supplemental payments for special tasks may be paid in a lump sum amount when a special task has been completed.

External members of the Supervisory Board's committees are entitled to a supplement for performing their function in the maximum amount of 50% of the basic salary, session fees in the amount received by members of the Supervisory Board, and reimbursement of costs in the scope and amount provided to members of the Supervisory Board.

5.2. Termination of function and notice period

Members of the Supervisory Board are elected for a term of four years.

A member of the Supervisory Board may resign from this function before the expiry of their term, with a three-month notice period, by sending a written resignation statement signed by the member to the President of the Supervisory Board (in the case of resignation of the President of the Supervisory Board, to the Vice-President of the Supervisory Board). A member of the Supervisory Board may resign without notice in cases where there are objectively justified reasons (e.g. an extended absence or illness). A member of the Supervisory Board may not resign at a time that is particularly unfavourable for the Company.

5.3. Procedure for defining, implementing and reviewing the remuneration policy, and the prevention and control of conflicts of interest

The General Meeting of Shareholders decides on the salary level of members of the Supervisory Board in accordance with the valid legislation and relevant remuneration policy.

The Supervisory Board adopts a resolution setting payments for the external members of committees, in accordance with the relevant remuneration policy.

As part of its recruitment procedures in the selection of candidates for Supervisory Board members and external members of the Supervisory Board committees, and also during their term in office, the Company checks for instances of possible conflicts of interest. The above also applies to assessments of the existence of possible conflicts of interest for an individual Supervisory Board member or external committee member in connection with their remuneration. The obligation to disclose the existence of possible conflicts of interest on the part of candidates for Supervisory Board members and external members of the Supervisory Board committees, and also Supervisory Board members and external members of Supervisory Board committees during their term in office stems from the ZSDH-1, whereby:

  • (i) before a decision on appointment candidates must submit to the body appointing them a statement in which they disclose whether any circumstances have been found that could cause a conflict of interest;
  • (ii) during their term in office, members of the Supervisory Board and external members of committees must immediately disclose circumstances that could cause a conflict of interest, and where necessary remove themselves from further work, influence or decision-making on any matter where a conflict of interest exists;
  • (iii) members of the Supervisory Board must submit a statement on associated persons to the compliance and integrity officer;
  • (iv) each year the members of the Supervisory Board and external members of its committees must submit to the Company a statement of independence and the absence of any conflict of interest. In accordance with the valid legislation and regulations, the Supervisory Board of the Company shall also conduct ongoing assessments of the existence of possible conflicts of interest where circumstances arise that could cause a conflict of interest.

6. Remuneration of management and supervisory bodies of subsidiaries of Telekom Slovenije, d.d.

As the controlling company in the TSG, Telekom Slovenije adopts guidelines for formulating the remuneration of TSG management and supervisory bodies at the TSG level that will apply to subsidiaries. In this the guidelines for formulating the remuneration of management bodies of subsidiaries abroad will take into account the specific nature

of the business environment in which these companies operate as particular features of the local legislation in this field.

7. Remuneration of Management Board members in the case of dual mandates

The determination of remuneration for members of management bodies in the case of dual mandates in TSG is governed by the basic principle that the remuneration depends on the complexity of the duties and responsibilities. In the case of dual mandates in TSG, each function involves its own duties and responsibilities, so as a rule these functions in subsidiaries are fully remunerated. An exception to this rule applies if the time, duties and responsibilities required by these functions in subsidiaries are covered by the duties, time and responsibilities and thereby remuneration in the company itself (especially in the case where the criterion for determining the basic portion of remuneration is the organisational complexity stemming from the management of TSG companies).

8. Transitional and final provisions

The currently valid legislation and regulations governing the remuneration of members of management and supervisory bodies of the Company shall apply for all issues not regulated by the relevant remuneration policy.

The remuneration policy shall enter into force on the date of adoption.

The remuneration policy is published on the Company's website.

The remuneration policy is published in Slovene and English.

8.2. The General Meeting of Shareholders hereby authorises the Supervisory Board, regarding point 8.1. of the resolution, to amend the wording of the Articles of Association of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. appropriately and draft a clean copy thereof.

Explanatory note:

A supplementation of the Company's registered activities is proposed. Telekom Slovenije, d.d. is developing solutions in the area of sustainable mobility, with an emphasis on electric mobility technology. Electric mobility solutions involve electric vehicles of various categories, and the infrastructure for charging them. In this field the Company is developing primarily solutions for charging electric vehicles and for digitalising business vehicle fleets, while it also wishes to offer customers comprehensive systems which in the case of electric mobility include electric vehicles. For the purpose of developing and implementing these activities in the future, they must be registered, and the registration of activities will enable buyers of electric vehicles to apply for the cofinancing of purchases of electric vehicles. Public calls for the allocation of cofinancing generally require a vehicle to be purchased from a supplier that is registered to perform the activity of selling vehicles.

Furthermore as part of its overall strategy of development in the field of eHealth, the Company provides ICT/telemedicine services to healthcare providers, including the leasing of telemedicine equipment, which by law is classed as medical devices, specifically in the group of in vitro diagnostic medical devices. In order to perform these services it is necessary to obtain authorisation from the Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of the Republic of Slovenia, and to supplement the registered activities of the Company.

REPORT ON ACQUISITION OF TREASURY SHARES

The General Meeting of Shareholders has been briefed on the report on acquisition of treasury shares of the Company.

Explanatory note:

In accordance with the third paragraph of Article 247 of the ZGD-1, at the very next General Meeting of Shareholders the Management Board must report on the reasons and purpose of acquisition, the total number, the smallest issuing amount, the share of acquired treasury shares and the value of treasury shares the Company acquired pursuant to point 8 of the first paragraph of Article 247 of the ZGD-1, based on the authorisation of the General Meeting of Shareholders for the purchase of shares. The 33rd General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 June 2021 authorised the Management Board to purchase treasury shares. The Company regularly informed stakeholders about the acquisition of treasury shares based on the granted authorisation via the SEOnet website of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.

During the period since 12 January 2022, based on this authorisation the Company acquired 6,836 shares, which represents 0.105% of all shares issued. The smallest issuing amount of acquired treasury shares is EUR 285,261.23. The value of treasury shares, including costs directly associated with purchases, that the Company acquired in the stated period, is set at EUR 394,200.72.

The total number of treasury shares under the stated purchases amounted to 36,836, representing 0.564% of all issued shares.

The Company may use treasury shares purchased on the basis of the granted authorisation for the following purposes:

  • to replace participating interests in other companies in the scope of implementing its takeover strategy;
  • for further sale to a strategic partner; and

  • for sale on the regulated market, where further sale may not be the sole purpose.

President of the Management Board: Cvetko Sršen

Materials for item 10 of the agenda:

AUTHORISATION TO PURCHASE TREASURY SHARES

The Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board hereby propose that the General Meeting of Shareholders of Telekom Slovenije, d.d. adopt the following

resolution:

The General Meeting of Shareholders hereby authorises the Management Board to purchase and dispose of treasury shares under the following conditions:

  • i) The Company's Management Board shall be authorised to purchase treasury shares, whereby the total proportion of the Company's share capital accounted for by all treasury shares, together with the shares that the Company already holds on the day this authorisation is issued, shall not exceed 5% or 326,773 shares.
  • ii) Authorisation to purchase treasury shares shall be valid for 36 months from the day this resolution is adopted.
  • iii) The Company may purchase treasury shares via transactions concluded on the regulated securities market at the currently valid market price. Treasury shares may also be purchased outside the regulated securities market (over-the-counter). When purchasing shares on the regulated securities market or over-the-counter market, the purchase price for shares shall not be less than 0.45 times the book value per share, calculated based on the most recent published financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group, and shall not be more than 1.00 times the book value per share, calculated in the same manner. Irrespective of the preceding sentence, in acquiring shares on an unregulated securities market the purchase price of shares in any event may not be higher than the currently valid market price of shares on a regulated securities market.
  • iv) The Company may use treasury shares purchased on the basis of this authorisation for the following purposes:
    • to replace participating interests in other companies in the scope of implementing its takeover strategy;
    • for further sale to a strategic partner; and
    • for sale on the regulated market, where further sale may not be the sole purpose.

Use of treasury shares for the above-stated purpose requires the prior approval of the Supervisory Board, and the price may not be lower than the purchase price.

  • v) The pre-emptive right of existing shareholders shall be excluded in full in the disposal of treasury shares in accordance with point iv) of this resolution.
  • vi) Based on the consent of the Supervisory Board, the Company's Management Board shall be authorised to withdraw treasury shares by way of resolution, without the additional convening of the General Meeting of Shareholders to decide on the reduction in share capital.

Explanatory note:

In accordance with point 8 of the first paragraph of Article 247 of the ZGD-1, on 18 June 2021 the General Meeting of Shareholders authorised the Company's Management Board to purchase treasury shares, for the period of 12 months from the date of adoption of the resolution and up to a maximum amount of 5% of all issued Company shares.

We propose the continued purchase of treasury shares and the continued creation of a treasury share reserve that can be used to acquire business shares in other companies in the scope of implementing the Company's takeover strategy, for the sale of treasury shares to a potential strategic partner or for sale on the regulated market (where further sale may not be the sole purpose). If purchased treasury shares are not used for the above-stated reasons, the Company's Management Board shall be authorised to reduce share capital through the withdrawal of treasury shares, upon obtaining the approval of the Supervisory Board.

We propose that the General Meeting of Shareholders authorise the Management Board to purchase treasury shares up the maximum amount of 5% of all shares issued by the Company.

The Company will purchase treasury shares based on this authorisation in accordance with the valid legislation. The Company will report on changes in the balance of treasury shares in accordance with valid regulations. In accordance with the third paragraph of Article 247 of the ZGD-1, the Management Board shall report to future General Meetings of Shareholders regarding the purchase of treasury shares based on the proposed authorisation of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

We also propose that the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders be excluded in the event of the disposal of purchased treasury shares, which shall be based on a report on justified grounds for the full exclusion of pre-emptive rights in the disposal of treasury shares.

Report on justified grounds for the full exclusion of pre-emptive rights in the disposal of treasury shares

The Company's treasury shares may represent an additional source of financing for the takeover of companies on the market or for a potential link with a strategic partner. To that end, the Company's Management Board shall carefully assess whether the financing of a transaction via treasury shares purchased on the basis of this authorisation is relevant and appropriate in a specific case.

In the case of the financing of the above-stated transactions via treasury shares, the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders cannot be ensured, as those rights shall be offered to the owners of companies that are the target of potential takeovers or to strategic partners.

Given the above facts, we assess that the exclusion of the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders in the potential disposal of treasury shares is justified and in the interest of the Company.
