The General Meeting has granted approval of the performance of duties by the Management Board in the financial year 2020.
The General Meeting has granted approval of the performance of duties by the Supervisory Board in the financial year 2020.
Pursuant to Article 294 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), at the same time as deciding on the use of the profit for appropriation, the General Meeting shall also decide on the granting of approval of the performance of duties by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board members. According to the above-mentioned Act, the debate on the granting of approval shall be linked to the debate on the use of the profit for appropriation. Therefore, the Management Board shall submit to the General Meeting the Annual Report and the report of the Supervisory Board on the results of verification of the Annual Report.
Further, the above-mentioned Article of the Companies Act stipulates that at the General Meeting deciding on the use of the profit for appropriation, the Management Board shall inform the shareholders of the remuneration received by the members of the management and supervisory bodies for their work in the company and subsidiary companies in the previous financial year. This information is disclosed in the Annual Report.
Taking into account the above-mentioned, the General Meeting will discuss and present, in the scope of the same agenda item and before discussing and deciding on the use of the profit for appropriation


and on the granting of approval, the Annual Report for 2020 and the Supervisory Board's report on their approval of the Annual Report for 2020.

As the above-mentioned subjects are related, it is reasonable to discuss them at the same time.
The Resolution Proposal regarding the use of the profit for appropriation and dividend payments is based on the achieved results, the company's development plan, as well as on the Supervisory Board's and Management Board's assessment on the appropriateness of such use. In the company's Financial Calendar, a day in the first half of August is marked each year as the dividend payout day. This year, the dividend payout day is 60 August 2021. The deadline for payment of -dividends is longer than in the case of the majority of shareholder companies listed in the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (prime market shares), but notwithstanding this, the Company is among the first to pay out dividends because it is among the first to hold its annual general meetings.
By the Resolution Proposal regarding the granting of approval, it is proposed to the General Meeting to confirm and approve the work of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board in the financial year 2020. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Code for Public Limited Companies, this proposal shall be voted on separately for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.

At the 32nd General Meeting of 28 December 2020, the shareholders of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana took note of the Shareholder Report on the Special Audit of the Transactions of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana of 15 October 2020, which was prepared by the special auditor BDO Revizija d.o.o., Cesta v Mestni log 1, Ljubljana on the basis of the General Meeting resolution of 12 December 2019 (hereinafter: The Report). In Resolution 2.2., the General Meeting tasked the Management Board of Petrol, d.d., Ljubljana to carry out further activities related to the Report findings and to act autonomously and with due diligence as well as in accordance with the powers conferred on it by law and the Articles of Association in the process.

5.1.
The Supervisory Board committee members shall receive extra payment for performing their respective functions, which is 25% of the basic payment for performing the function of Supervisory Board member. The chair of the committee is also eligible to receive 37.5% of the basic payment for performing the respective function of Supervisory Board member. Each Supervisory Board committee member is, regardless of the above and regardless of the frequency of participations at committees, either as a member or chair, eligible in each financial year for the payment of extra fees for the performance of their function, until the total amount of the extra payments reaches 50% of the basic payment for the function of Supervisory Board member on annual level. If the mandate of each Supervisory Board member is shorter than the financial year, then each Supervisory Board committee member is, regardless of the above and regardless of the frequency of participations at committees, either as a member or chair, eligible in each financial year for the payment of extra fees for the performance of their function, until the total amount of the extra payments reaches 50% of the basic payment for the mandate in the respective financial year.
External Supervisory Board committee members are eligible to receive meeting fees like the other committee members, and the basic payment for the performance of the function in the amount of 30% of the annual basic payment for each Supervisory Board member (without extra payment for committee work).




Considering the existing provisions on payments to Supervisory Board members, the proposal does not change the amounts of meeting fees, but it does increase the basic payment for the performance of the function, whereby the maximum annual payments to each member are restricted. The Supervisory Board has found that the proposed basic payment amount for the function of Supervisory Board member and committee member of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, is in line with comparable payments for the same functions in prosperous major companies, whose securities are traded on an organised market. The resolution also comprehensively governs payments to external committee members, and the payment of costs that may be incurred by the Supervisory Board members. By adopting this resolution, the topic will be regulated in a single location.
Based on the issued authorisation of the general assembly, the Supervisory Board may generally decide on advanced extra payments for special tasks, when it decides to carry out a special task. As an exception, mainly in the event of unforeseen circumstances that justify the payment of the extra fees for special tasks due to objective circumstances of the Supervisory Board may also decide on the extra payment retrospectively, but no earlier than the previous financial year. Special diligence and the assessment of merits, on the basis of the objective circumstances, shall be considered in the Supervisory Board's decision on extra payments on the basis of the authorisation of the general assembly, as well as the obligation to accurately report on the special tasks and extra payments to the general assembly of the company, generally in the framework of annual reports or disclosures of the income of the supervisory body's members. When deciding on extra payments for special tasks, the period for the extra payment, based on the time of the performance of such tasks, must be determined in addition to its amount (which is determined as a percentage of the basic payment for the performance of the function). If the general assembly authorised the Supervisory Board to decide on the extra payments for special tasks, then it may also decide itself on the extra payment, especially in the event of unforeseen circumstances that the Supervisory Board did not observe in their decision on the extra payments.
Extra payments for special tasks may, in total, amount to a maximum of 50% of the basic payment for the function of Supervisory Board member in each calendar year for every Supervisory Board member (regardless of the number of special tasks and regardless of the body deciding on such matters - the general assembly directly or the Supervisory Board on the basis of the authorisation of the general assembly). The extra payment for each special task is determined by taking into account the complexity of the task and the related increased workload and responsibility. Extra payments are always appropriately and proportionally calculated for the period of their actual active performance.
The resolution is adopted by a majority of the votes cast.
The resolution is proposed by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
