Telekom Slovenije, d. d. (hereinafter: Telekom Slovenije) hereby issues its corporate governance statement in accordance with the fifth paragraph of Article 70 of the Companies Act, and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code and the Corporate Governance Code for Companies with Capital Assets of the State.

The corporate governance statement is an integral part of the audited annual report of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije, d. d. for 2021. It relates to the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. We also disclose significant events after the aforementioned period and up to the publication of the statement. The corporate governance statement is accessible in electronic form, for a minimum of five years from the date of its publication, on the Company's website at https://www.telekom.si/en/about-us/company/corporate-governanceand in the Ljubljana Stock Exchange's electronic information system at http://seonet.ljse.si.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICY

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

  • Δ the Corporate Governance Policy of Telekom Slovenije, d. d., which was initially adopted in December 2011 and last updated on 13 February 2020,
  • Δ the Corporate Governance Rulebook of the Telekom Slovenije Group, which was adopted on 22 August 2017, and
  • Δ the Instructions on the Implementation of the Corporate Governance Rulebook of the Telekom Slovenije Group, 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 website www.telekom.si/en, under https://www.telekom.si/en/about-us/company/ corporate-governance.

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 2021 financial year:

  • Δ the Corporate Governance Code adopted by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the Slovenian Directors' Association on 27 October 2016. The code entered into effect on 1 January 2017 and is published on the website www.ljse.si;
  • Δ the Corporate Governance Code for Companies with Capital Assets of the State, which was adopted by Slovenski državni holding, d. d. in March 2021, and the Recommendations and Expectations of Slovenski državni holding from August 2020 (both documents are published on the website www.sdh.si); and
  • Δ the Recommendations 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/en).

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: Telekom Slovenije adopted a diversity policy in 2020 in accordance with the recommendation of the code. The policy deviates in part from the recommendation, as it does not specifically define objectives. Objectives are of a descriptive nature, but are not stated in numbers or percentages, except with respect to gender diversity.

Disclosure of the composition and remuneration of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

Recommendation 5.6: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation because, in accordance with appendices C3 and C4 to the code, the composition and remuneration of members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board are not an integral element of the corporate governance statement, but are published in the another section of the annual report, while reference to the relevant chapter is given in the corporate governance statement.

Justification of proposals for the election of Supervisory Board members

Recommendation 8.5: Telekom Slovenije deviated in part from this recommendation in 2021 because the justification of a proposal for shareholders at the 33rd General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 June 2021 regarding the election of new members of the Supervisory Board did not include an assessment of potential conflicts of interest and an assessment of whether the proposed candidates are independent in relation to the Company according to the criteria set out in the code. Those aspects were verified during the candidacy procedure in accordance with legal provisions and the recommendations of the code.

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

Recommendation 13.1: 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. Members of the Supervisory Board have an online overview of Telekom Slovenije's current internal training programme and attend training in accordance with available dates.

External evaluation of the assessment of the Supervisory Board

Recommendation 14.4: Telekom Slovenije did not comply with this recommendation, as an external evaluation of the assessment of the Supervisory Board was not performed. The Supervisory Board is planning an external evaluation for the 2022 financial year.

President of the Supervisory Board

Recommendation 15.3: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation in 2021, as the President of the Supervisory Board also served as chair of the HR Committee from 4 November 2020 to 21 January 2021 and chair of the Nomination Committee that was appointed during that time.

Term of office of external members of the Supervisory Board's committees

Recommendation 18.3: Telekom Slovenije deviated in part from this recommendation in 2021, as the contract with the external member of the Audit Committee stated that the aforementioned contract ceases to be in force on the day the term of office of the Supervisory Board expires, or on the day the function of the external member of the Audit Committee is terminated based on a Supervisory Board resolution. With the appointment of a new external member of the Audit Committee on 11 February 2021, that deviation from the recommendation was eliminated in the associated contract.

Succession system for the Management Board

Recommendation 20.1: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation, as it does not have in place a succession system for the Management Board. However, internal candidates were included in the process of appointing Management Board members in 2021 and were appropriately evaluated in that process.

Independence of members of the Supervisory Board and its committees

Recommendation 23: Telekom Slovenije deviated in part from this recommendation in 2021, as a member (and President) of the Supervisory Board, Boštjan Koler, was not independent from Slovenski državni holding, d. d., where he was also a member of the Management Board from 3 November 2020 to 21 January 2021.

Disclosure of the remuneration of members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

Recommendation 29.7: Telekom Slovenije deviates from this recommendation to a lesser degree because the variable element of the remuneration of Management Board members is not disclosed separately in terms of qualitative and quantitative criteria.

Publication of rules of procedure of bodies

Recommendation 29.9: 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:

Independence of management and supervisory bodies from SDH and the state

Recommendation 4.1: Telekom Slovenije deviated in part from this recommendation in 2021, as a member (and President) of the Supervisory Board, Boštjan Koler, was not independent from Slovenski državni holding, d. d., where he was also a member of the Management Board from 3 November 2020 to 21 January 2021. Recommendation 4.1 is in contravention of recommendation 6.7, which stipulates an exception for a link with a shareholder.

Succession policy

Recommendations 6.1, and 6.2.1 to 6.2.3: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from these recommendations, as it does not have a succession policy in the form of a unique document. The succession process involves the identification of key and perspective employees, as well as potential successors. In the scope of the process, potential internal candidates are also assessed every time members are appointed to the Management Board.

Justification of proposals for the election of Supervisory Board members

Recommendation 6.8: Telekom Slovenije deviated in part from this recommendation in 2021 because the justification of a proposal for shareholders at the 33rd General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 June 2021 regarding the election of new members of the Supervisory Board did not include an assessment of potential conflicts of interest. There was likewise no information provided as to whether the proposed candidates are independent in relation to the Company according to the criteria set out in the code. Those aspects were verified during the candidacy procedure in accordance with legal provisions and the recommendations of the code.

Number of sessions of the Audit Committee

Recommendation 6.14.2: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation. Given the current relevance and complexity of individual matters, the Supervisory Board's Audit Committee met at more sessions in 2021 than the recommended number.

Disclosure of the remuneration of members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

Recommendation 8.3: Telekom Slovenije deviates from this recommendation to a lesser degree because the variable element of the remuneration of Management Board members is not disclosed separately in terms of qualitative and quantitative criteria. The Company does not disclose the remuneration and other rights of the management staff of subsidiaries in its annual report. It does, however, present that information for the three largest subsidiaries at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Disclosure of the costs of the Supervisory Board's work Recommendation 8.4: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation, as all costs incurred by the Supervisory Board are not disclosed separately as stated in the recommendation because they are not booked to a separate cost centre.

Compliance and integrity officer

Recommendation 11.2.1: Telekom Slovenije deviates in part from this recommendation, as the position of compliance and integrity officer is not classified separately. The compliance and integrity officer is appointed by resolution of the Management Board.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXPECTATIONS OF SLOVENSKI DRŽAVNI HOLDING

Telekom Slovenije adheres to the Recommendations and Expectations of Slovenski državni holding to the greatest extent possible. Telekom Slovenije's position regarding the recommendations and expectations is published on the Company's website at: https://www.telekom.si/o-podjetju/ upravljanje-druzbe/Opredelitev-glede-priporocil-inpricakovanj-SDH-ANG-2020.pdf.

In terms of gender, the Policy pursues the objective of heterogeneity, whereby an under-represented gender should account for 40% of all members of the Supervisory Board and 33% of all members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board together by the end of 2026. The Company achieved that objective in 2021 in terms of composition of the Management Board. With regard to the composition of the Supervisory Board, that objective was achieved in 2021 until the expiry of the terms of office of two female members of the Supervisory Board in April. The proportion of members accounted for by the underrepresented gender is currently 22.22%.

In accordance with point 7 of the fifth paragraph of Article 70 of the ZGD-1, Telekom Slovenije presents the representation of both genders on the Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board:

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

Risk management and the system of internal controls represent integral elements of corporate governance within the Group. The established risk management framework also includes a system of internal controls, which serves as the basis for the identification, assessment, management, reporting on and monitoring of risks, with the aim of responding and mitigating exposure to risks in a timely manner.

In connection with the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls ensures the appropriate management of risks, the ethical operations of Group companies, and reliable, timely and transparent 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. Information support is provided for the accounting process. Internal controls are therefore linked with controls built into the IT infrastructure, which comprises controls over restrictions on access to data and applications, and controls over the accuracy and completeness of data capture and processing.

Established internal accounting controls are an integral part of the Group's system of internal controls in the processes and organisational units of companies, and at all levels of operations.

The Telekom Slovenije Group strives to ensure an appropriate system of internal controls that includes precisely defined procedures, competences and responsibilities for specific tasks, as well as automated and manual controls in all processes. Internal controls are regularly adapted to legislation, standards, processes, organisational changes, findings 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, the documentation of the functioning of internal controls and proposals for improvements. A report is drafted once a year on the self-assessment of internal controls at the parent company and subsidiaries to provide a comprehensive overview of the establishment and functioning of internal controls. Implementation is systematic, planned and structured, and is appropriately documented.
