The General Meeting appoints auditing company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), d.o.o., Cesta v Kleče 15, 1000 Ljubljana for the auditing of the financial statements of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., for the financial years 2020, 2021 and 2022.
In accordance with Article 16 of the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities, the audit committee must explain the proposal for selecting the auditor, unless renewing an auditing agreement.
The selection of the auditor for the statutory audit of the financial statements of Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for the 2020 – 2022 period was conducted in accordance with valid legislation, the adopted Guidelines for ensuring the independence of the auditor of the financial statements in Telekom Slovenije Group, and pursuant to the adopted Criteria for selecting the auditor for the financial statements of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., Telekom Slovenije Group and the subsidiaries and for other services of assurance engagement in the scope of the annual audit.
Following a thoroughly prepared tender documentation which included clear and non-discriminatory measures for selection, the independent purchasing committee of Telekom Slovenije called on several auditing companies to submit their quotations for providing the service of statutory audit of financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for the 2020 – 2022 period. It called on the tenderers several times to supplement or improve their quotations. The audit committee of Telekom Slovenije's Supervisory Board reviewed the final valuation of the quotations and the Report on review, assessment and valuation of the quotations with appendices, which was prepared by the independent purchasing committee of Telekom Slovenije, and established that the report was professionally made and that it includes all the criteria and elements that the tender documentation listed.
According to the criteria and taking into account the received documentation and the explanations of the ongoing procedures based on a decision of the Supervisory Board relating to the received decision of the Court of Arbitration, the audit committee of the Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., substantiates the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), d.o.o., Cesta v Kleče 15, 1000 Ljubljana, as the best provider of services of statutory audit of financial statements of Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije for the years 2020 – 2022.

Besides the authorised auditor, the auditing team also includes experts in information technology, valuation and taxes, which is important from the perspective of providing a comprehensive auditing service for Telekom Slovenije Group.

President of the Supervisory Board: Barbara Kürner Čad

Material for item 8 of the agenda:
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., propose that the General Meeting adopts the following
Members of Supervisory Board committees receive remuneration for performing the office which amounts to 25% of basic remuneration for Supervisory Board members. The president of a committee is entitled to an additional payment in the amount of 37.5% of the basic remuneration for Supervisory Board members. Regardless of the above, and the number of Supervisory Board committees in which they participate or which they chair, individual members of Supervisory Board committee are entitled to receive additional payments until their sum in a financial year amounts to 50% of the basic remuneration for performing the office a Supervisory Board member is entitled to annually. Regardless of the above, and therefore regardless of the number of Supervisory Board committees in which a Supervisory Board member participates or which they chair, if their term is shorter than the financial year, they are entitled to receive additional payments until their sum in a financial year amounts to 50% of the basic remuneration for performing the office an individual Supervisory Board member is entitled to for the duration of their term in the relevant financial year.

8.6 This resolution comes into effect and use on the date it is adopted at the General Meeting. It annuls the resolution under items 8.1 to 8.5 that the General Meeting adopted on 1 July 2013.
In November 2019 the Slovenian Sovereign Fund adopted the Corporate Governance Code for State-Owned Enterprises (Code). The Code states that payments to supervisory board members consist of the payment for performing the function and of attendance fees. The payment for performing the function consists of the basic payment for performing the function and the fee for special tasks or functions of each member. The payment for performing the function of supervisory board members and attendance fees are defined by taking into account the size of the company and the company's financial condition.
The recommended amounts for supervisory board members for performing their office and the amounts for attendance fees are set in Appendix 1 of the Code. The proposed resolution is made in accordance with the sample, defined in Appendix 2 of the Code. The recommended amount of the basic payment for performing the function of a supervisory board member and the attendance fee remain the same as in the decision the General Meeting adopted on 1 July 2013, and are within the range recommended for enterprises with shares traded on the organized market, as set in the Appendix 1 to the Code.
In accordance with the recommendations of the Code, the total maximum amount of attendance fees for attending the meetings of Supervisory Board and committees, i.e. for Supervisory Board members who are also members of one or more committees, is changed to 75% of the basic payment for performing the function of the Supervisory Board member at the yearly level. The total maximum amount of attendance fees for attending Supervisory Board meetings for members who are not also members of committees remains the same, namely up to 50% of the basic payment for performing the function of a Supervisory Board member at the yearly level. This change is actually justified by the scope and the number of meetings both of the Supervisory Board itself, as of its committees, needed for successfully performing legally required tasks of the Supervisory Board and its committees considering the size of the company, the scope and areas of its operations and market challenges. However, this is merely the cap, and the amounts will not be paid out up to the maximum amount if there are fewer meetings of the Supervisory Board and/or its committee in the upcoming years.
President of the Management Board: President of the Supervisory Board: Tomaž Seljak, MSc Barbara Kürner Čad

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., propose that the General Meeting adopts the following
The General Meeting of Telekom Slovenije, d.d., (hereinafter: company) on its meeting of 7 March 2012, adopted, based on the report of the special auditor Deloitte Revizija, d.o.o., with a 99.60% majority the decision on filing lawsuits claiming compensation for the damage caused as the result of breaches of duty of its members of management and/or supervisory bodies in relation to the management of individual transactions. The General Meeting appointed as its special representatives according to ZGD-1 the solicitors Ilić & Partnerji o. p. d.o.o. (hereinafter: special representative). Based on the findings of the special auditor the special representative filed a lawsuit on 13 June 2012 at the Ljubljana District Court against all of its former members of the Management Board (Bojan Dremelj, Dušan Mitić, Filip Ogris Martič, Željko Puljić and Darja Senica – hereinafter also: defendants) who held the term during the audited contentious transactions, demanding:
• compensation in the amount of € 48,051,294.00 for the damage that the company suffered as a result of the purchase of a 29.36% share in Ipko.net, LLC Prishtina (hereinafter: IPKO).
Because of the extreme legal and financial complexity, the proceedings have not been concluded after more than seven years, and are still at the court of first instance in the phase of completing the opinion of the court-appointed expert PwC. The company has an insurance policy with the insurance company D&O, which is intended for covering such risks, however because of the long duration of the court proceedings and the related increase in legal costs, the insured amount is growing significantly smaller.
Two years ago the company enforced the insurance claim after receiving the opinion of the court-appointed expert PwC, and consequently it began, parallel with the court proceedings, negotiating with the insurance company regarding the amount and conditions of the insurance payment under the valid D&O policy.
On 6 March 2020 the company received a binding and time-limited settlement offer from the insurance company's authorised person. Accepting it allows the company to receive damages in the amount of € 2,800,000.00, under the condition of an early termination of the above court proceedings. Taking into account paragraph three of Article 263 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1) it is not legally permissive to decide on a claim for compensation without an approval of the General Meeting.

By concluding this settlement, all civil relations between the company and former Management Board members would be settled, and the agreed insurance would be paid out, thereby eliminating the need for presenting further evidence and the related costs of the proceedings, as well as the risks related to the legal outcome and the success of the collection.
When negotiating the amount of the insurance payment, the remainder of the insurance amount from which the legal costs have been paid preferentially, and the scope of the valid insurance coverage were taken into account, as the policy, because of the late date, does not cover the whole period in which certain events occurred that are the subject of the legal proceedings.
Because the public is excluded from the court proceedings, the shareholders shall be further informed of the facts regarding the proceedings, and the content of the proposed settlement directly at the General Meeting by the special representative and the company representatives.
