Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

1. COMPANY'S LINE OF BUSINESS

Gestamp Automoción, S.A., has its registered office in Abadiño (Vizcaya), Polígono Industrial de Lebario. It was incorporated for an indefinite period of time in a deed executed on 22 December 1997, before the notary public of Bilbao, Mr José Antonio Isusi Escurrida, with protocol number 4,852. It is registered in the Mercantile Register of Vizcaya, volume 3,614, section 8, page BI-21245, folio 107, 1st entry. It is the holder of tax identification number (CIF): A-48943864

Additionally, since April 7, 2017 the shares of the Parent Company have been listed on the four Spanish Stock Exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao). The Company is the parent company of the Gestamp Automoción Group. Its main activity is the advice, financing and connections of all its subsidiaries, which carry out their activities for the automotive industry of the Gestamp Automoción Group. As part of its activity, the Company applies a royalty to its subsidiaries based on sales for the use of the Gestamp brand (Note 5) and also receives income from the rental of properties to group companies (Note 7).

But also, the Company is part of a Group headed by its majority shareholder, Acek Desarrollo y Gestión Industrial, S.L., formerly Corporación Gestamp, S.L. (hereinafter Acek Group), having changed its corporate name by resolution of the Extraordinary and Universal General Meeting of the Company, held on February 5, 2015 and made public on the same date. The transfer prices between the companies that make up the Group as well as companies and parties related to the Group are supported by a transfer pricing file in accordance with current legislation.

As detailed in Note 19, Gestamp Automoción, S.A. (the parent company of the Gestamp Automoción Group, hereinafter the Group) carries out transactions and maintains significant balances with related parties and, therefore, this circumstance must be taken into account in order to understand these financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of Grupo Acek Desarrollo y Gestión Industrial, S.L. for the year ended December 31, 2023, together with the management report for that year and the corresponding auditors' report, will be filed with the Madrid Mercantile Registry.

The Company's directors also prepare the consolidated financial statements of the Gestamp Automoción Group, of which the Company is the Parent Company (Note 2.4).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company, which is that set out in the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, of November 16, which has been amended several times since its publication, most recently by Royal Decree 1/2021, of January 12, and its implementing regulations, as well as with the rest of the mercantile legislation in force.

These financial statements have been prepared by the directors of the Company for submission to the shareholders for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting, and it is expected that they will be approved without any changes.

The figures included in the financial statements are expressed in euros, unless indicated otherwise.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

2.1 Fair presentation

The financial statements were prepared based on the Company's supporting accounting records, and the prevailing legal provisions were applied in the accounting area, to present fairly the Company's equity, financial position and results. The cash flow statement was prepared to provide true information on the origin and use of the monetary assets representing the Company's cash and cash equivalents.

The directors of the Company have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

2.2 Comparative information

In accordance with the prevailing legislation, for comparative purposes, in addition to each item in the 2023 balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement, the figures for the preceding year are also provided. The notes to the financial statements also include quantitative information on the preceding year, except when an accounting rule specifically stipulates that it is not necessary.

2.3 Critical issues regarding the measurement and estimation of uncertainties

When preparing the Company's financial statements, the Directors made estimates to determine the carrying amount of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses, together with the breakdown of contingent liabilities. These estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at yearend. However, given the uncertainty inherent therein, it is possible that future events occur obliging such estimates to be modified in the following years, which will occur prospectively, where appropriate.

The key assumptions regarding the future, together with other significant data regarding the estimate of uncertainty at year-end, which are accompanied by a significant risk of involving considerable changes in the value of assets and liabilities in the coming year are as follows:

a) Impairment of the value of non-current assets

The measurement of non-current assets, other than financial assets, requires estimates to be made in order to determine their recoverable value for the purposes of assessing possible impairment, especially for trading funds. To calculate this recoverable value, the Company's Directors estimate the expected future cash flows from the assets or cash generating units of which they form part, and uses an appropriate discount rate to calculate the current value of those cash flows. Future cash flows depend on whether budgets for the next five years are met, while the discount rates depend on the interest rate and on the risk premium associated with each cash generating unit. Notes 5.2 and 8.3 discuss the assumptions used to calculate the value in use of cash-generating units and include an analysis of the sensitivity to changes in the assumptions. Also, in certain cases, the valuation of an external third party is used to calculate hidden capital gains on land and buildings in the subsidiaries.

b) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all those deductible temporary differences, tax loss carryforwards and unused tax credits, for which it is probable that the Company has future tax profits enabling it to apply these assets. The Directors must make significant estimates to determine the amount of the deferred tax assets than can be recognised, taking into account the amounts and dates on which future tax gains will be obtained and the reversal period for taxable temporary differences.

The Directors estimate that the deferred tax assets recognised will be recovered over a maximum period of 10 years.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

2.4 Consolidated financial statements

On the same date, the Directors have prepared separately the consolidated financial statements of Gestamp Automoción, S.A. and subsidiaries for the year 2023, which show total consolidated assets of 9,928,534 thousand euros, consolidated equity of 2,861,368 thousand euros and consolidated profit for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Parent of 280,668 thousand euros.

3. DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT

The Directors will propose the following distribution of 2023 profit, which is expected to be approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting:

(Euros) 2023
Distributable profit
Balance of income statement (profit) 75,806,932
75,806,932
Application
Interim dividend 40,051,121
Loss compensation 25,494,049
Voluntary reserves 10,261,762
75,806,932

3.1 Limitations to the dividends distribution

The Parent is obliged to transfer 10% of profit for the year to a legal reserve, until this reserve reaches at least 20% of share capital. While this reserve does not exceed the limit of 20% of the share capital, it cannot be distributed to shareholders (Note 11.3).

Once the reserves required by Law or by the Articles of Association have been covered, dividends can only be distributed with a charge to profit for the year or to unrestricted reserves, if the value of equity is not, or as a result of the distribution, it does not turn out to be less than the share capital. For these purposes, the profit allocated directly to equity cannot be directly or indirectly distributed. Should prior years' losses exist leading the value of the Company's equity to be lower than share capital, profit will be allocated to offset such losses.

Until 2016, the company had set aside a restricted reserve equivalent to the goodwill appearing on the assets side of the balance sheet, earmarking for this purpose an amount of profit representing at least 5% of the amount of goodwill. From 2017 onwards, with the amendments introduced in Law 22/2015, the obligation to set up the aforementioned reserve is eliminated.

In addition, dividend distributions are limited in accordance with the stipulations of the syndicated loans entered into as detailed in Note 14.1.

3.2 Interim dividend

The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on December 18, 2023, considering the earnings forecast for the year, approved an interim dividend of 0.07 euros gross per outstanding share at the dividend payment date. This dividend was paid on January 10, 2024.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

The amount of the dividend was less than the maximum limit established by prevailing legislation, referring to the distributable profit since the end of the last year:

The provisional accounting statement prepared by the directors, which sets forth the existence of sufficient liquidity to distribute this dividend, was as follows:

(Euros)
Cash available at December 18, 2023 80,895,201
Interim dividend 40,097,062
(a) Liquidity forecast (after payment of interim dividend) 40,798,139
(b) Collections (one-year forecast) 357,997,728
(c) Payments (one-year forecast) 348,953,645
Cash and cash equivalents (one-year forecast) (a+b-c) 49,842,222
Profit after tax at December 18, 2023 82,829,698
Allocation to reserves according to result as at December 18, 2023
Distributable result as at December 18, 2023 82,829,698

4. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT STANDARDS

The main recognition and measurement standards used by the Company to prepare these financial statements were as follows:

4.1 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost, be it their acquisition or production cost.

After its initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost, less, where appropriate, any accumulated amortisation and, where appropriate, the accumulated impairment losses recognised.

Intangible assets are amortised systematically, based on the estimated useful lives of the various assets and their residual value. The amortisation periods and methods applied are reviewed each year-end and, where appropriate, adjusted prospectively. At least at year-end, an assessment is made of signs of impairment, in which case, the recoverable amounts are estimated, recognising the required impairment loss allowances.

Brand

The brand is initially valued at acquisition price, which has been established on the basis of an independent expert valuation. Until 2015, it corresponded to an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life and was therefore not amortised, as per current regulations. From 2016 onwards, following the approval of the accounting reform, with prospective effects, the Company amortises the brand over a period of 10 years, as no reliable information is available on its useful life and therefore the 10 years proposed in the General Accounting Plan for these cases are used. At least annually, cash-generating units to which the brand name has been assigned are tested for indications of impairment and, if any, are tested for impairment in accordance with Note 4.5.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost at the time of acquisition, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed.

Exceptionally, goodwill existing at the date of transition to the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 was recognised at its net carrying amount at January 1, 2008, i.e. at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment as at that date, in accordance with the accounting standards previously in force.

In accordance with the provisions of the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, goodwill was not amortised and, instead, the cash-generating units to which goodwill had been allocated at the date of acquisition were tested for impairment at least annually, with the corresponding impairment loss recognised where appropriate.

With effect from January 1, 2016, in accordance with the provisions of the sole transitory provision of Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 10 years. Goodwill is fully amortised.

4.2 Property, plant and equipment

PP&E is initially measured at cost, be it its acquisition or production cost. The cost of PP&E acquired through business combinations is its fair value at the acquisition date.

After its initial recognition, PP&E is measured at cost, less, where appropriate, any accumulated depreciation and, where appropriate, the accumulated impairment losses recognised.

PP&E is depreciated when such assets become available for entry into operation, on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

The years of estimated useful life for the items forming PP&E were as follows:

Years of useful life
Buildings 35 years

At each year-end, the Company reviews the residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods of PP&E and, where appropriate, adjusts them prospectively.

4.3 Investment property

Land and buildings leased to third parties are classified as investment property. Investment property is valued using the same criteria as for property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation of investment property will be provided on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 35 years.

Income from investment property relates to operating leases.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

4.4 Leases

Contracts are classified as finance leases when the economic conditions lead it to be deduced that substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset forming the scope of the agreement will be transferred to the lessee. Otherwise, the leases are classified as operating leases.

Company as lessee

Payments under operating leases are recognised as expenses in the income statement when they accrue.

Company as lessor

Income from operating leases is recognised in the income statement as it accrues. Direct costs attributable to the lease are included as an increase in the value of the leased asset and are recognised as an expense over the lease term, applying the same criteria used for the recognition of lease income.

4.5 Impairment of non-financial assets

At least at year-end, the Company assesses whether there are any signs that any non-current assets or, where appropriate, cash-generating units may be impaired. If indications exist, their recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the carrying amount is higher than the recoverable value, an impairment loss arises. Value in use is the present value of the expected future cash flows, using risk-free market interest rates, adjusted by the specific risks associated with the asset. For assets that do not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those arising from other assets or groups of assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating units to which those assets belong, where cash-generating units are defined as the minimum group of items that generate cash flows that are largely independent of those arising from other assets or groups of assets.

No indications of impairment have been detected in non-current assets relating to intangible assets, property, plant and equipment or investment property.

In the case of the Gestamp brand (acquired in 2013 from the majority shareholder) and goodwill, the valuation criteria is detailed in Note 5.

Impairment allowances and their reversal are recognised in the income statement, as part of the operating result. Impairment loss allowances are reversed when the circumstances giving rise to them cease to exist, except those relating to goodwill. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the asset that would be recognised had the corresponding impairment value not been previously recognised.

4.6 Financial Instruments

The Company recognises a financial instrument on the balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contract or legal transaction in accordance with its terms, either as the issuer or as an investor in or acquirer of the contract or legal transaction. Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contract or legal transaction in accordance with the provisions of the contract or legal transaction, either as the issuer or as an investor in or acquirer of the contract or legal transaction.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

4.7 Financial assets

Classification and measurement

On initial recognition, the Company classifies all financial assets into one of the categories listed below, which determines the initial and subsequent measurement method applicable:

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
  • Financial assets at amortised cost
  • Financial assets at fair value through equity
  • Financial assets at cost

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Company classifies a financial asset in this category unless it should be classified in any of the other categories.

In any case, financial assets held for trading are included in this category. The Company considers a financial asset to be held for trading when at least one of the following three circumstances is met:

  • a) It is originated or acquired for the purpose of selling it in the short term.
  • b) It forms part, on initial recognition, of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of recent evidence of short-term profit-taking.
  • c) It is a derivative financial instrument, provided that it is neither a financial guarantee contract nor designated as a hedging instrument.

In addition to the above, the Company has the option at initial recognition to designate a financial asset irrevocably as measured at fair value through profit or loss that would otherwise have been included in another category (often referred to as a 'fair value option'). This option may be chosen if it eliminates or significantly reduces a valuation inconsistency or accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from valuing assets or liabilities on different bases.

Financial assets classified in this category are initially measured at fair value which, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is assumed to be the transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in the profit and loss account for the year (i.e. they are not capitalised).

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets in this category at fair value through profit or loss (financial result).

The Company has no financial assets at fair value other than derivatives.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Financial assets at amortised cost

The Company classifies a financial asset in this category, even if it is admitted to trading on an organised market, if the following conditions are met:

  • The Company holds the investment under a management model whose objective is to receive the cash flows from the execution of the contract.

The management of a portfolio of financial assets to obtain their contractual flows does not imply that all instruments must necessarily be held to maturity; financial assets may be considered to be managed for that purpose even if sales have occurred or are expected to occur in the future. For this purpose, the Company considers the frequency, amount and timing of sales in prior years, the reasons for those sales and expectations regarding future sales activity.

  • The contractual features of the financial asset give rise, at specified dates, to cash flows that are solely collections of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. That is, the cash flows are inherent in an arrangement that is in the nature of an ordinary or common loan, notwithstanding that the transaction is arranged at a zero or below-market interest rate.

This condition is assumed to be met in the case of a bond or a simple loan with a specified maturity date and for which the Company charges a floating market interest rate and may be subject to a cap. Conversely, it is assumed that this condition is not met in the case of instruments convertible into equity instruments of the issuer, loans with inverse floating interest rates (i.e. a rate that has an inverse relationship to market interest rates) or those where the issuer may defer interest payments, if such payment would affect its creditworthiness, without the deferred interest accruing additional interest.

In general, this category includes receivables for commercial transactions ("trade receivables") and nontrade receivables ("other debtors").

Financial assets classified in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is assumed to be the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given, plus directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalised.

However, trade receivables maturing in less than one year and which do not have an explicit contractual interest rate, as well as receivables from personnel, dividends receivable and payments due on equity instruments, the amount of which is expected to be received in the short term, are measured at nominal value when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not material.

The amortised cost method is used for subsequent valuation. Accrued interest is recognised in the income statement (financial income), applying the effective interest rate method.

Receivables maturing in less than one year which, as described above, are initially measured at nominal value, continue to be measured at nominal value, unless they are impaired.

In general, when the contractual cash flows of a financial asset at amortised cost change due to the issuer's financial difficulties, the Company assesses whether an impairment loss should be recognised.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Financial assets at fair value through equity

Included are financial assets that meet the following conditions:

  • The financial instrument is not held for trading and is not classified at amortised cost.
  • The contractual features of the financial asset give rise, at specified dates, to cash flows that are solely collections of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

In addition, the Company has the option to classify (irrevocably) in this category investments in equity instruments, provided that they are not held for trading, nor are they to be measured at cost (see cost category below).

Financial assets included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is assumed to be the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given, plus directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalised.

Subsequent measurement is at fair value, without deducting any transaction costs that might be incurred on disposal. Changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity until the financial asset is derecognised or impaired, at which time the amount so recognised is taken to the income statement.

Impairment losses and gains and losses arising from exchange differences on monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account rather than in equity.

Interest, calculated using the effective interest rate method, and accrued dividends (financial income) are also recognised in the income statement.

The Company has no financial assets at fair value other than hedging derivatives.

Financial assets at cost

The Company includes in this category, in any case:

  • a) Equity in Group companies, jointly controlled entities and associates (in the separate financial statements).
  • b) Other investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be determined by reference to a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument, or cannot be reliably estimated, and derivatives that have these investments as their underlying.
  • c) Hybrid financial assets whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated, unless they qualify for recognition at amortised cost.
  • d) Contributions made as a result of a joint account contract and similar agreements
  • e) Participating loans whose interest is contingent, either because a fixed or variable interest rate is agreed on the achievement of a milestone in the borrowing company (e.g. the achievement of profits), or because it is calculated solely by reference to the performance of the borrowing company's business.
  • f) Any other financial asset that is initially classified in the fair value through profit or loss portfolio when it is not possible to obtain a reliable estimate of its fair value.

Investments in this category are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given plus directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalised.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

In the case of investments in group companies, if there was an investment prior to its classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate, the cost of that investment shall be deemed to be the book value that the investment should have had immediately before the company's classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate.

Subsequent measurement is also at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Contributions made as a result of a joint venture and similar contracts are measured at cost, increased or decreased by the profit or loss, respectively, accruing to the company as a non-managing venturer, less any accumulated impairment losses.

The same applies to participating loans whose interest is contingent, either because a fixed or variable interest rate is agreed on the fulfilment of a milestone in the borrowing company (e.g. the achievement of profits), or because it is calculated solely by reference to the performance of the borrowing company's business. If irrevocable fixed interest is agreed in addition to contingent interest, the latter is accounted for as finance income on an accruals basis. Transaction costs are taken to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the life of the participating loan.

Off-balance sheet derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset from the balance sheet when:

  • The contractual rights to the asset's cash flows expire. A financial asset is derecognised when it has matured and the corresponding amount has been received by the Company.
  • The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred. In this case, the financial asset is derecognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred. In particular, in repurchase agreements, factoring and securitisation transactions, the financial asset is derecognised once the Company's exposure, before and after the transfer, to the change in the amounts and timing of the net cash flows of the transferred asset has been compared and it is concluded that the risks and rewards have been transferred.

Following the analysis of risks and rewards, the Company records the derecognition of financial assets in accordance with the following situations:

  • a) The risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred. The transferred asset is derecognised and the Company recognises the result of the transaction: the difference between the consideration received net of attributable transaction costs (taking into account any new asset obtained less any liability assumed) and the carrying amount of the financial asset, plus any cumulative amount recognised directly in equity.
  • b) The risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially retained by the Company. The financial asset is not derecognised and a financial liability is recognised for the same amount as the consideration received.
  • c) The risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have not been substantially transferred or retained. In this case, there are, in turn, two possible scenarios:
    • o Control is relinquished (the transferee has the practical ability to transfer the asset back to a third party): the asset is removed from the balance sheet.
    • o Control is not relinquished (the transferee has no practical ability to transfer the asset back to a third party): the Company continues to recognise the asset for the amount at which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset, i.e. for its continuing involvement, and recognises an associated liability.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Impairment of financial assets

Debt instruments at amortised cost or fair value through equity

At least at each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset, or a group of financial assets with similar risk characteristics measured collectively, is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition and that result in a reduction or delay in estimated future cash flows, which may be caused by the debtor's insolvency.

If such evidence exists, the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows, including, where applicable, those from the enforcement of collateral and personal guarantees, estimated to be generated, discounted at the effective interest rate calculated at initial recognition. For floating rate financial assets, the effective interest rate at the reporting date is used in accordance with the contractual terms. In calculating impairment losses for a group of financial assets, the Company uses models based on formulas or statistical methods.

Impairment losses, and reversals of impairment losses when the amount of the impairment decreases due to a subsequent event, are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the asset that would have been recognised at the date of reversal had no impairment loss been recognised.

As a proxy for the present value of future cash flows, the Company uses the market value of the instrument, provided that it is sufficiently reliable to be considered representative of the value that could be recovered by the company.

In the case of assets at fair value through equity, cumulative losses recognised in equity due to a decline in fair value, provided that there is objective evidence of impairment in the value of the asset, are recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets at cost

In this case, the amount of the valuation adjustment is the difference between its carrying amount and the recoverable amount, the latter being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows arising from the investment, which in the case of equity instruments are calculated either by estimating those expected to be received as a result of the distribution of dividends by the investee and the disposal or derecognition of the investment in the investee, or by estimating its share of the cash flows expected to be generated by the investee from its ordinary activities and from the disposal or derecognition of the investment. Unless there is better evidence of the recoverable amount of investments in equity instruments, the estimate of the impairment loss on this type of asset is calculated on the basis of the equity of the investee and the unrealised gains existing at the measurement date, net of the tax effect.

The recognition of impairment losses and, where applicable, their reversal are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the investment that would have been recognised at the reversal date had no impairment loss been recognised.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Interest and dividends received from financial assets

Interest and dividends on financial assets accrued subsequent to the acquisition date are recognised as income in the income statement. Interest is recognised using the effective interest rate method and dividends when the right to receive them is declared.

If the dividends distributed clearly arise from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts in excess of the profits generated by the investee since acquisition have been distributed, they shall not be recognised as income and shall reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The judgement as to whether profits have been generated by the investee shall be made solely on the basis of the profits recognised in the individual income statement since the date of acquisition, unless it is clear that the distribution out of those profits is to be regarded as a recovery of the investment from the perspective of the entity receiving the dividend.

4.8 Financial liabilities

Classification and measurement

On initial recognition, the Company classifies all financial liabilities into one of the categories listed below:

  • Financial liabilities at amortised cost
  • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

The Company classifies all financial liabilities in this category except when they are to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

In general, this category includes trade payables ("suppliers") and non-trade payables ("other payables").

Participating loans that have the characteristics of an ordinary or common loan are also included in this category without prejudice to the fact that the transaction is agreed at a zero or below-market interest rate.

Financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is deemed to be the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalised.

However, trade payables maturing at under one year and which do not have a contractual interest rate, and payments required by third parties with respect to investments, whose amount is expected to be paid at short term, are measured at their nominal value, when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not significant.

The amortised cost method is used for subsequent valuation. Accrued interest is recognised in the income statement (financial expense), applying the effective interest rate method.

However, debits maturing in less than one year which, in accordance with the above, are initially valued at their nominal value shall continue to be valued at that amount.

Contributions received as a result of a joint venture and similar contracts are valued at cost, increased or decreased by the profit or loss, respectively, to be attributed to the non-managing venturers.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

The same applies to participating loans whose interest is contingent, either because a fixed or variable interest rate is agreed on the fulfilment of a milestone in the borrowing company (e.g. the achievement of profits), or because it is calculated solely by reference to the performance of the borrowing company's business. Financial expenses are recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis and transaction costs are taken to the income statement on a financial basis or, if not applicable, on a straight-line basis over the life of the participating loan.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

In this category the Company includes financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions:

  • They are liabilities that are held for trading. A financial liability is considered to be held for trading when it meets one of the following conditions:
    • o It is issued or assumed primarily for the purpose of repurchase in the short term (e.g. bonds and other listed marketable securities issued that the company can buy back in the short term based on changes in value).
    • o A short seller's obligation to deliver financial assets that have been lent to it ("short sale").
    • o It forms part on initial recognition of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of recent evidence of short-term profittaking.
    • o It is a derivative financial instrument, provided that it is neither a financial guarantee contract nor designated as a hedging instrument.

From the time of initial recognition, it has been irrevocably designated for fair value through profit or loss ("fair value option") accounting because:

  • o An accounting inconsistency or "accounting mismatch" with other instruments at fair value through profit or loss is eliminated or significantly reduced; or
  • o A group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities that is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy and information about the group is also provided on a fair value basis to key management personnel.
  • Optionally and irrevocably, hybrid financial liabilities with a separable embedded derivative may be included in their entirety in this category.

Financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is assumed to be the transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration received. Transaction costs directly attributable to them are recognised directly in the income statement for the year.

After initial recognition, the company measures financial liabilities in this category at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company has no financial liabilities with changes in the income statement other than contracted derivatives.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Off-balance sheet derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises a previously recognised financial liability when one of the following circumstances arises:

  • The obligation has been extinguished because payment has been made to the creditor to discharge the debt (through cash payments or other goods or services), or because the debtor is legally released from any responsibility for the liability.
  • Own financial liabilities are acquired, albeit with the intention of repositioning them in the future.
  • There is an exchange of debt instruments between a lender and a borrower, provided that they have substantially different terms, and the new financial liability that arises is recognised; similarly, a substantial modification of the current terms of a financial liability is recorded, as indicated for debt restructurings.

The accounting for the derecognition of a financial liability is as follows: The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or of the part of such liability derecognised and the consideration paid, including the attributable transactions costs, which also includes any assets assigned other than the cash or the liability assumed, is recognised in the income statement for the year in which it arose.

Debt restructuring

The Company, in certain cases, restructures its debt commitments with its creditors. For example: lengthening the principal repayment term in exchange for a higher interest rate, not paying and aggregating interest in a single "bullet" payment of principal and interest at the end of the life of the debt, etc. The ways in which such changes in the terms of a debt can be implemented are various:

  • Immediate payment of the nominal amount (before maturity) followed by refinancing of all or part of the nominal amount through a new debt ("debt swap").
  • Modification of the terms of the debt contract before its maturity ("debt modification").

In these cases of "debt swap" or "debt modification" with the same creditor, the Company analyses whether there has been a material change in the terms of the original debt. If there has been a material change, the accounting treatment is as follows:

  • the carrying amount of the original financial liability (or part of it) is derecognised;
  • the new financial liability is initially recognised at fair value;
  • transaction costs are recognised against profit or loss;
  • the difference between the carrying amount of the original financial liability (or part of it that is derecognised) and the fair value of the new liability is also recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Conversely, when, after analysis, the Company concludes that the two debts do not have substantially different terms (they are essentially the same debt), the accounting treatment is as follows:

  • the original financial liability is not derecognised (i.e. it remains on the balance sheet);
  • commissions paid on the restructuring operation are carried as an adjustment to the book value of the debt;
  • a new effective interest rate is calculated from the restructuring date. The amortised cost of the financial liability is determined by applying the effective interest rate, which is the rate that matches the carrying amount of the financial liability at the modification date with the cash flows payable under the new terms.

The terms of the contracts shall be considered materially different, inter alia, when the present value of the cash flows of the new contract, including any fees paid, net of any fees received, differs by at least ten per cent from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the original contract, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original contract.

Certain changes in the determination of cash flows may not pass this quantitative analysis but may also result in a material change in the liability, such as: a change from a fixed to a floating interest rate in the remuneration of the liability, the restatement of the liability to a different currency, a fixed rate loan that is converted into a participating loan, among other cases.

4.9 Derivative financial instruments and hedges

From an accounting perspective, the Company divides financial derivatives into two main groups:

  • Trading derivatives: are recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are recognised against the profit and loss (included in the category "Financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit and loss").
  • Hedging derivatives: are also recorded at fair value. However, special accounting rules called hedge accounting apply. Depending on the hedge accounting model, the counterparty to the change in value of the derivative may change or an adjustment may be made to the accounting for the hedged item.

The objective of hedge accounting is to eliminate or reduce so-called "accounting asymmetries". Such "accounting mismatches" generally arise when the Company enters into derivatives (or sometimes another financial instrument) to hedge (or offset changes in the fair value or cash flows) of another item, and that item is either not recognised at fair value through profit or loss (e.g. a loan at amortised cost or inventory at cost) or does not appear on the balance sheet at all (e.g. a forecast purchase of commodities or a forecast bond issue).

The asymmetry causes the income statement to be volatile over the life of the hedging transaction, with the firm being economically hedged in relation to one or more specific risks.

In order to avoid the volatility associated with this different approach to recognising the two transactions (hedging instrument and hedged item) in profit or loss, special hedge accounting rules have arisen, which are applied through hedge accounting models. These models involve the application of special accounting rules to break the "accounting asymmetry".

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

In order to be able to apply the special hedge accounting rules, the Company meets the following three requirements:

  • The components of the hedge (hedging instrument and hedged item) are in accordance with the accounting rules, i.e. they are "eligible".
  • Initial documentation and formal designation of cover must be prepared.
  • The coverage effectiveness requirements must be met.

The hedge accounting model used by the company is "Cash flow hedging":

A cash flow hedge hedges the exposure to a change in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with all or a component of a recognised asset or liability (such as entering into a swap to hedge the risk of floating rate financing) or a highly probable forecast transaction (for example, hedging the foreign currency risk associated with forecast purchases and sales of foreign currency property, plant and equipment, goods and services) and that may affect the income statement. A hedge of the foreign currency risk of a firm commitment may be accounted for as a cash flow hedge or as a fair value hedge.

The applicable accounting rules are as follows:

  • The hedged item does not change its method of accounting.
  • The gain or loss on the hedging instrument, to the extent that it is an effective hedge, is recognised directly in equity. Thus, the equity component arising as a result of the hedge shall be adjusted to equal, in absolute terms, the lesser of the following two values:
    • o The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument since the inception of the hedge.
    • o The cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item (i.e., the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows hedged) from the inception of the hedge.

Any remaining gain or loss on the hedging instrument or any gain or loss required to offset the change in the cash flow hedge adjustment calculated in accordance with the preceding paragraph represents hedge ineffectiveness requiring those amounts to be recognised in profit or loss.

The "recycling" of the amount deferred in equity to profit or loss depends on the type of hedged transaction:

  • If a hedged highly probable forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction relating to a nonfinancial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment to which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the entity shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge adjustment and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability. The same criterion shall be applied to hedges of the foreign exchange risk of the acquisition of an investment in a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate.
  • In all other cases, the adjustment recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss to the extent that the expected future cash flows covered affect profit or loss (for example, in periods when interest expense is recognised or a forecast sale occurs).
  • However, if the adjustment recognised in equity is a loss and the enterprise expects that all or part of the loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, that amount that is not expected to be recovered is reclassified immediately to profit or loss.

4.10 Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer or settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value shall be determined without any deduction for transaction costs that might be incurred on disposal. In no case does fair value result from a forced or urgent transaction or as a consequence of an involuntary liquidation situation.

Fair value is estimated for a particular date and, because market conditions may change over time, that value may be inappropriate for another date. In addition, in estimating fair value, an entity takes into account the terms and conditions of the asset or liability that market participants would take into account in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In general, fair value is calculated by reference to a reliable market value. For those items for which there is an active market, fair value is derived, where appropriate, through the application of valuation models and techniques. Valuation models and techniques include the use of references to recent arm's length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, as well as references to the fair value of other assets that are substantially the same, discounted estimated future cash flow methods and models generally used to value options.

In any case, the valuation techniques employed are consistent with accepted methodologies used by the market for pricing, using, where available, the one that has been shown to produce the most realistic estimates of prices. They also take into account the use of observable market data and other factors that their participants would consider in setting the price, limiting as much as possible the use of subjective considerations and unobservable or unverifiable data.

The Company assesses the effectiveness of the valuation techniques it uses on a regular basis, using as a reference the observable prices of recent transactions in the same asset being valued or using prices based on observable market data or indices that are available and applicable.

In this way, a hierarchy is derived in the inputs used in the determination of fair value and a fair value hierarchy is established that allows estimates to be classified into three levels:

  • Level 1: estimates using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are available to the company at the valuation date.
  • Level 2: estimates using quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or other valuation methodologies in which all significant inputs are based on directly or indirectly observable market data.
  • Level 3: estimates where some significant variable is not based on observable market data.

A fair value estimate is classified in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement outcome. For this purpose, a significant variable is a variable that has a decisive influence on the estimation result. The assessment of the significance of a particular variable for estimation takes into account the specific conditions of the asset or liability being valued.

4.11 Own shares

Treasury shares are recorded in equity as less equity when acquired, and no gain or loss on their sale or cancellation is recorded in the income statement. Income and expenses arising from treasury share transactions are recorded directly in equity as less reserves.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

4.12 Cash and cash equivalents

This heading includes cash, bank current accounts, deposits and temporary acquisitions of assets that meet all the following requirements:

  • They are convertible into cash.
  • At their acquisition date, they mature at under three months.
  • They are not subject to a significant risk of changes in value.
  • They form part of the Company's normal cash management policy.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, the occasional deficits forming part of the Company's cash management are included as less cash and cash equivalents.

4.13 Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet as provisions when the Company has a current obligation (be it due to a legal, contractual or implicit or tacit obligation), arising as a result of past events, considered likely to generate an outflow of funds for the settlement thereof, and which is quantifiable.

Provisions are measured at the current value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to cancel or transfer the obligation to a third party, recognising the adjustments that arise as a result of the update of the provision as a finance cost as they accrue. In the case of provisions maturing at no more than one year, whose financial effect is not significant, no type of discount is made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet closing date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the liability from time to time.

The compensation to be received from a third party when settling the provisions is recognised as an asset, without reducing the amount of the provision, provided that no doubts exist that this refund is going to be received, and without exceeding the amount of the obligation recognised. When a risk outsourcing legal or contractual relationship exists, for which the Company is not liable, the amount of such compensation is deducted from the amount of the provision.

Also, contingent liabilities are deemed to be those possible obligations, arising as a result of past events, whose materialisation depends on the occurrence of future events that are not fully under the Company's control and those present obligations, arising as a result of past events, for which it is unlikely that an outflow of funds will arise to settle them or which cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. These liabilities are not recognised for accounting purposes, detailing them in the notes to the financial statements, except when the outflow of funds is remote.

4.14 Income tax

The corporation tax expense for the year is calculated through the sum of the current tax, arising from applying the corresponding tax rate to taxable profit for the year, less the existing tax relief and tax credits and the changes occurred in that year in the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised. It is recognised in the income statement except when it relates to transactions recognised directly in Equity, in which case, the corresponding tax is also recognised under Equity and in the initial posting of the business combinations in which it is recognised as the remaining assets of the acquired business.

Deferred taxes are recognised for the temporary differences existing at the balance sheet date between the tax base of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. The tax base of an equity item is deemed to be the amount attributed thereto for tax purposes.

The tax effect of the temporary differences are included in the corresponding "Deferred tax assets" and "Deferred tax liabilities" headings in the balance sheet.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

The Company recognises a deferred tax liability for all the taxable temporary differences except, where appropriate, for the exceptions envisaged in the prevailing regulations.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax assets and tax loss carryforwards, to the extent that it is probable that the Company will have future tax gains that enable these assets to be applied except, where appropriate, the exceptions envisaged in the prevailing legislation.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses the deferred tax assets recognised and those that have not been recognised previously. Based on such assessment, the Company derecognises an asset recognised previously if it is no longer likely that it will be recovered, or it books any deferred tax asset not posted previously provided that it is likely that the Company will have future taxable profit enabling its use.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the taxation rates expected at the reversal date, in line with the prevailing regulations approved and with the manner in which it is rationally expected to recover and pay deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and they are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, regardless of the expected realisation or settlement date.

Tax consolidation regime

The application of the consolidated taxation system means that individual corporation tax receivables and payables are consolidated in the Parent Company, whereby the Company has to pay or receive payment from the subsidiaries for the amount of the individual corporation tax liability for the resulting year in order to subsequently settle with the tax authorities as the representative of the tax group.

Consequently, debits and credits resulting from the calculation of corporation tax are recorded in accounts with group companies.

4.15 Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current and non-current assets and liabilities are presented in the balance sheet. For such purposes, assets and liabilities as classified as current when they are linked to the Company's normal operating cycle and they are expected to be sold, used, realised or settled in the course thereof; they are different from the foregoing and their maturity, disposal or realisation is expected to occur in a maximum period of one year; they are maintained for business purposes or they involve cash and cash equivalents, whose use is not restricted for a period exceeding one year. Otherwise, they are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

4.16 Income and expenses

Recognition

The Company recognises revenue from a contract when control over the committed goods or services (i.e. the obligation(s) to be performed) is transferred to the customer.

Performance obligations

The Company's income, excluding dividends and income from marketable securities of group companies, is derived from the provision of commercial, corporate and intellectual property services. The receipt and transfer of control of these services corresponds and correlates with the invoicing issued.

Valuation

Revenue from the sale of goods and the rendering of services is measured at the monetary amount or, where appropriate, the fair value of the consideration received or expected to be received.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

4.17 Foreign currency transactions

The Company's functional and presentation currency is the euro.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated in their initial measurement at the spot exchange rate in force at the transaction date.

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in force at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses arising from this process, together with those that occur on settling these equity items, are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they arise.

4.18 Related party transactions

Related party transactions are recognised in accordance with the measurement standards detailed above, except the following transactions:

  • Non-monetary contributions of a business to a Group company are generally measured at the carrying amount of the equity items delivered in the consolidated financial statements on the date on which the transaction is performed.
  • In mergers and spin-offs of a business, the items acquired are generally measured at the amount corresponding thereto, once the transaction has been performed, in the consolidated financial statements. The differences that arise are recognised in reserves.

The prices of the transactions performed with related parties are adequately borne; hence, the Company's Directors consider that no risks exist that could generate significant tax liabilities.

4.19 Termination benefits

In accordance with the prevailing employment legislation, the Company is obliged to pay termination benefits to those employees who, under certain conditions, end their employments relationships. Termination benefits subject to reasonable quantification are recognised as an expense in the year in which a valid expectation exists, created by the Company vis-à-vis the affected third parties.

4.20 Transactions with equity-based payments

The Company classifies its executive and employee share option plans as follows:

In shares of the Company: Staff costs are determined based on the fair value of the options to be delivered at the date of the grant agreement. Staff costs are recorded as services are rendered over the stipulated three-year period with a credit to "Other equity instruments". The fair value of the options established at the date of the grant agreement remains unchanged.

5.1 Description of the main movements

The fully amortised goodwill was generated in 2001 as a result of the merger with Modular Business & Ingeniería, S.L., and corresponds to the difference between the value of the investment in the balance sheet of the absorbing company and the equity of the absorbed company at the date on which the merger was deemed effective (January 1, 2001). This goodwill has been fully amortised since 2018.

The amount reflected under patents, licences, trademarks and similar items relates mainly to the Gestamp trademark for automotive classes, acquired on January 1, 2013 from Acek Desarrollo y Gestión Industrial, S.L., for 31,060,000 euros, as well as the expenses inherent to the acquisition thereof.

The computer applications recorded in 2023 correspond to the implementation of a computer system acquired by the group company Gestamp Servicios, S.A., which in turn invoices each of the companies for their share, in accordance with the estimates made, as the implementation is completed.

5.2 Impairment testing of intangible assets

8.3 Impairment of holdings in Group companies, jointly controlled entities and associates

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

In those holdings where indications of impairment have been identified, where the information could be obtained, the valuation adjustment has been calculated on the basis of the value in use of the holdings.

Cash flow projections were used to calculate value in use, based on the budgets approved by Management for the next five years and cash flows after the five-year period were extrapolated using a growth rate of 1%, which is a reasonable long-term average growth rate and which is down on that expected for the previous five years. The discount rates by country applied to the cash flow projections (before tax) were as follows:

2023
Segment Pre-tax discount rate Perpetual growth rate
Western Europe 9.9%-11.2% 1.00%
Eastern Europe 11.3%-16.7% 1.00%
Asia 9.1%-14.3% 1.00%
North America 10.7% 1.00%
Mercosur 14.5%-35.4% 1.00%
2022
Segment Pre-tax discount rate Perpetual growth rate
Western Europe 9.6%-11.1% 1.00%
Eastern Europe 9.6%-17.5% 1.00%
Asia 9.1%-15.5% 1.00%
North America 10.6% 1.00%
Mercosur 15.5%-40.3% 1.00%

The economic projections made in previous years did not present significant differences with respect to the actual data. However, some investments with an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the impairment analysis has also been tested for impairment, using the figure of the book equity of the subsidiary or the corresponding subgroup, adjusted for existing unrealised gains, in proportion to the direct shareholding held by the Company.

From the aforementioned analysis, this has led to reversals of impairment losses of 1,177 thousand euros in 2023 and a provision for impairment losses of 9,650 thousand euros (see Note 8.1). For the 2022 financial year, reversals of impairment losses of 7,856 thousand euros and a provision for impairment losses of 45,414 thousand euros (see note 8.1).

In view of the situation of the Group's plants in Russia, which have been without industrial activity since February 2022, and the continuing uncertainty regarding operations in that country, as well as the fact that we are awaiting a position from our main customers, which we have to support globally, a provision of 35,544 thousand euros was recognised for the Company's shareholding in Gestamp Holding Rusia, S.L. (see Note 8.1).

On July 27, 2018, the Parent Company entered into a liquidity agreement with JB Capital Markets, S.V., S.A.U., adapted to Circular 1/2017, of April 26, of the CNMV.

The framework of this agreement will be the Spanish stock markets.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

This agreement stipulates the conditions under which the financial intermediary will operate for the account of the issuer, buying or selling own shares of the latter, with the sole objective of favouring the liquidity and regularity of their listing, for an initial duration of 12 months, which will be deemed to be tacitly extended for the same period unless indicated otherwise by the parties.

The amount earmarked to the cash account associated with the agreement is 9,000 thousand euros.

On September 4, 2023, the Company established a programme to buy back its own shares, temporarily suspending the liquidity contract signed with JB Capital Markets, Sociedad de Valores, S.A.U., to enable the start of the new operation.

The sole purpose of this programme is to provide the Company with sufficient treasury stock to enable the delivery of Company shares to certain Gestamp employees, beneficiaries of the current long-term incentive programme. The maximum monetary amount allocated to the programme is 15,000,000 euros, taking into account for these purposes only the acquisition price of the shares. The maximum number of shares to be acquired under the programme is 3,000,000 which is equivalent to 0.52% of the share capital of the Company as at the date of announcement. The period during which the Programme is authorised runs from September 6, 2023 to December 20, 2023. This period may be extended with the prior agreement of the Parent's Board of Directors in the event that the Parent has not acquired the maximum number of shares by the established date.

On December 18, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Parent Company agreed to extend the duration of the Programme until May 10, 2024.

As a result of the above, on September 4, 2023 the liquidity contract signed with JB Capital Markets, S.V., S.A.U. was temporarily suspended and resumed on January 18, 2024 after completion of the repurchase of the 3,000,000 shares established in the Repurchase Programme.

The difference between the carrying amount and the book value of the assets and liabilities delivered in the consolidated accounts of the Gestamp Automoción Group was recorded in equity under "Other special reserves" in the amount of 11,484,761 euros.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

On November 19, 2010, the Company participated in the capital increase carried out by Gestamp Servicios, through the contribution of its shares in Gestamp Paraná, valued at 17,700,004 euros. The Company valued this interest at the book value of the assets and liabilities delivered in the consolidated accounts of the Gestamp Automoción Group at the date of the transaction. The difference between the carrying amount and the book value of the assets and liabilities delivered in the consolidated accounts of the Gestamp Automoción Group was recorded in equity under "Other special reserves" in the amount of 52,171,174 euros.

In addition, the "Other special reserves" caption includes the goodwill reserve amounting to 4,455,425 euros. This reserve is available as the goodwill is fully amortised.

During the 2023 financial year the Company paid dividends amounting to 77,984,764 euros. Of this amount, 35,085,772 euros was paid on January 12, 2023 and 42,898,991 euros on July 5, 2023. During the 2022 financial year, the Company paid dividends amounting to 24,712,785 euros. This amount was paid on July 5, 2022.

In accordance with the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, while the legal reserve does not exceed the limit of 20% of share capital, it is not distributable to shareholders and may only be used to offset losses if no other reserves are available. This reserve may also be used to increase share capital provided that the balance does not fall below 10% of the increased share capital amount (Note 3.1). During the 2023 financial year, no profit for the 2022 financial year has been allocated to the Legal Reserve, as it has already reached 20% of the Company's share capital.

11.4 Other equity instruments

The amount reflected in this heading includes the incentive plan (for the period 2023-2025), based on shares, for certain employees and managers, linked to their permanence in the Group, until its completion, as well as the achievement of certain objectives linked to the creation of value of the Group in said period.

The company recognizes a personnel expense on a straight-line basis in the income statement during the period of the Plan, as well as the corresponding increase in equity, considering the fair value of the shares committed at the time of granting the Plan.

The quantification of the total incentive depends on the degree of achievement of the objectives that have been established.

The fair value of the incentives referenced to the trading price of the share at the time of granting, has been estimated considering the trading price as of May 31, 2023 (4.1 euros per share).

The interest rate on these loans for the 2023 financial year ranges from 1.801% and 6.179860% (for the 2022 financial year between 1% and 6.17986%). The bond price over 2023 has ranged from 94.509% to 101.266%.

At December 31, 2023, the Company has amounts drawn down under credit facilities with various banks amounting to 86,586,282 euros (at December 31, 2022 the amount drawn down was 73,674 euros), the limit of availability of all facilities together amounts to 470,600,000 euros (December 31, 2022: 415,600,000 euros). The accrued and unpaid interest on credit facilities amounts to 1,601,943 euros in the 2023 financial year (111,627 euros in the 2022 financial year).

Syndicated loan 2013

On April 19, 2013, Gestamp Automoción, S.A. entered into a syndicated loan with a group of banks for an initial amount of 850 million euros distributed in two tranches, the first tranche (A1 loan) for 570,000 thousand euros and the second tranche (Revolving Credit Facility) for 280,000 thousand euros.

On May 20, 2016, Gestamp Automoción, S.A. signed an agreement to amend the syndicated loan from the syndicated loan of April 2013. The amounts granted (granting of a new tranche in 340,000 thousand euros) and the interest rate were modified.

On July 25, 2017, the Parent Company signed a new agreement to modify the original syndicated loan agreement signed in April 2013. This agreement implies changes in interest rates and payment dates. The maturity date for the contract was July 15, 2022.

On May 11, 2018, the Parent Company signed a new agreement to modify the original syndicated loan agreement signed in April 2013. This agreement implies changes in clauses of the agreement, without altering economic terms, maturities, drawdowns and allowing interim dividend distribution.

On February 25, 2019, the Parent Company signed a new agreement to modify the syndicated loan agreement modifying the maturity dates. Maturities initially set at 2020 and 2021 were postponed to April 30, 2023, amounting to 324 million euros. The first Tranche (Tranche A1) relates to the initial transaction while the second (Tranche A2) results from the extension made in 2016; accordingly, each one was treated separately given that the initial IRR of each transaction is different.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

On January 23, 2020, the Company signed a new agreement to amend the syndicated loan agreement, whereby the maturities are modified so that the new maturity date for the full nominal amount is April 30, 2023.

On May 25, 2021, the Company signed a new agreement to amend the syndicated loan agreement, whereby the maturities are modified so that the new maturity date for the full nominal amount is January 23, 2025.

After the required analysis, this operation was considered as a refinancing of the syndicated loan since there was no substantial modification of the debt.

The Parent Company undertook to comply with certain financial obligations related to Consolidated Financial Statements over the life of the loan. These obligations are as follows:

  • "Net Debt/EBITDA" ratio below or equal to 3.50.
  • "EBITDA/Financial expense" ratio above 4.00

On June 3, 2020, the parties entered into a novation agreement amending the agreement in order to adapt certain clauses of the agreement to the special circumstances arising from the pandemic declared by the World Health Organisation due to COVID-19. Among these adaptations, a liquidity ratio was included to ensure that the Group would have liquidity of at least 200 million euros on the last working day of each month up to and including June 30, 2021, which replaced the requirement to comply with the other financial ratios included in the agreement.

Failure to comply with these ratios would be grounds for early repayment of the loan at the request of the banking syndicate. A period of 20 working days exists to remedy the breach of these financial obligations. As at December 31, 2022 the ratios were within the above limits, thus the EBITDA/Financial Expenses ratio (10.69 as at December 31, 2022), while the Net Financial Debt/EBITDA ratio as at December 31, 2022 was 1.54. The calculation of the ratios has to be made according to the accounting standards in force at the time of signing the initial contract (April 19, 2013) and this implies, in particular, that the impacts due to the application of IFRS 9, 15 and 16 have been reversed. In addition, there was a limitation on the distribution of dividends whereby the dividend to be distributed in each financial year could not exceed 50% of the profit for the consolidated financial year. The agreement to amend the syndicated loan contract signed on June 3, 2020 prohibits the payment of dividends up to and including June 30, 2021.

The loan was repaid early on May 22, 2023. The impact on the P&L of this cancellation amounted to 1,899,715 euros (expense). The nominal amount drawn down as at December 31, 2022 was 938,388 thousand euros, all of which matures in the long term.

Certain Gestamp Automoción Group companies, which together represent a significant portion of total consolidated assets, revenue and consolidated EBITDA, acted as joint guarantors of the loans. These companies were:

European Investment Bank 2016

On June 15, 2016, the Parent Company signed a financing agreement with the European Investment Bank for 160 million euros.

The loan term is seven years with maturity on June 22, 2023, coinciding with the repayment of the principal. The Parent Company undertakes to comply with certain financial obligations related to Consolidated Financial Statements over the life of the loan. These obligations are as follows:

  • "Net Debt/EBITDA" ratio above 4.00
  • "Net Financial Debt/EBITDA" below 3.50

On July 27, 2020, the parties entered into a novation agreement amending the agreement in order to adapt certain clauses of the agreement to the special circumstances arising from the pandemic declared by the World Health Organisation due to COVID-19.

Failure to comply with these ratios would be grounds for early repayment of the financing at the lender's request, with a period of 20 working days to remedy the non-compliance. At December 31, 2022, the ratios were within the above limits (EBITDA/Financial Expense ratio was 8.89, while the Net Financial Debt/EBITDA ratio was 2.10). These financial ratios must be calculated excluding the impact of changes in accounting regulations after December 31, 2018.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

In addition, there was a limitation on the distribution of dividends whereby the dividend to be distributed in each year may not exceed 50% of the consolidated profit for the year. In the agreement to amend the loan agreement, it was agreed that no dividend payments will be made up to and including June 30, 2021.

The loan was repaid on maturity in June 2023. At December 31, 2022, the outstanding amount of this loan granted to the Company was recorded as current, amounting to 160 million euros.

The Company mainly operates in the following currencies:

Euro

  • US dollars
  • Swedish krona
  • Hungarian forint
  • Pound sterling

To manage exchange rate risk, the Company assumes the use of a series of financial instruments which, in some cases, allow a certain degree of flexibility; mainly, these instruments will be as follows:

  • A. Foreign currency forward contracts: These arrangements lock in the price at which an entity can buy or sell a currency on a set date; the timing can be adjusted to align the transactions with the hedged cash flows.
  • B. Other instruments: Other hedging derivative instruments may also be used, including those that ensure a maximum and minimum exchange rate (collar or tunnel) at a given settlement date.

Interest rate risk

The Company's borrowings mainly bear interest at floating rates, exposing it to risk from fluctuations in market interest rates, so that market fluctuations affect cash flows. The company mitigates this risk by using interest rate derivatives, mainly swaps, by which it converts the floating rate on a loan into a fixed rate. It may swap the rate on a portion of the loan or on the entire loan, and for its entire duration or a part thereof.

The debt is almost entirely issued at a variable interest rate and referenced to Euribor.

If the average interest rate on euro-denominated borrowings had been 5% higher/lower in 2023, all other things being equal, the financial result would have been 6,854 thousand euros lower/greater (5,114 thousand euros lower/greater in 2022).

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the incapacity of a company to service its commitments as a result of adverse conditions in the debt and/or equity markets that prevent or hinder its capital raising efforts or prevent the necessary funding from being obtained.

The Group manages liquidity risk by keeping sufficient available to negotiate, under the best possible conditions, the replacement of maturing transactions with new ones and to meet short-term cash requirements, thereby avoiding the need to raise funds on disadvantageous terms to cover short-term needs.

The Group had undrawn credit lines of 937.6 million euros at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022: 789.3 million euros).

Gestamp in the World

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2023

Thanks to innovation in technology, Gestamp is able to offer to the market more advanced products for the manufacture of increasingly efficient cars.

Gestamp, world technological leader, has a wide variety of technologies that allow it to offer customers innovative solutions that respond to industry requirements, achieving a balance between safety, performance, weight and cost.

Gestamp has evolved technologically from a company specialising in cold stamping to a multitechnological company, continually striving to incorporate new technology into manufacturing processes and expanding the traditional techniques.

Gestamp is a leader in hot stamping technology, with more than 100 lines all over the world. This technology makes it possible to manufacture safer and lighter metal components, which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, lowering energy consumption and thus reducing CO2 emissions.

During 2023, it has continued to advance even further in this technology and, as a result, has launched a new line of large products that has generated great acceptance by its customers, translating into new business for some of its manufacturing plants.

Organisational Structure:

Gestamp's organisational model is built on functions that focus on business, product, process and strategic project development, while our geographic divisions are focused on the launch of industrial projects and the efficient management of production capacity.

Macroeconomic Context and Sector Evolution:

As reported in the January 2024 World Economic Outlook (WEO) update, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates global economic growth to have reached +3.1% YoY in 2023. GDP growth has been better than expected at the beginning of 2023 - the IMF forecasted a +2.9% YoY growth in its January 2023 WEO - as a result of the resilience shown by major economies such as China and United States. Over 2023, tight monetary policies in main geographies have helped to bring inflation closer to central banks' target, which has been the key macroeconomic topic of the year. Looking ahead, risks to the outlook now seem to be more balanced but there is still some uncertainty arising from geopolitical risks and persistently high core inflation. As a result, the IMF now expects a GDP growth in 2024 at same levels as in 2023 at +3.1%, 0.2% higher than the October 2023 WEO projections, with a modest rise to +3.2% YoY in 2025.

Within the auto sector, 2023 has closed with a record growth of market production volumes following strong estimates' revisions by S&P Global Mobility (former IHS), mainly in Asia, throughout the year. According to the S&P Global Mobility update as of February 2024 volumes grew by +10.2% in Gestamp's footprint during 2023 reaching 82.1 million vehicles, already above the 80.7 million units produced in 2019, but still below 2017 peak levels. Once again, Gestamp has outperformed the market on a constant currency basis and excluding the impact from raw materials by 6.4 percentage points (in Gestamp's footprint – IHS data as of February 2024).

During 2023, Western Europe and Eastern Europe were the two regions showing the strongest production growth (+14.1% and +11.3%, respectively), followed by Asia with a +10.3% growth, North America (NAFTA) growing at +8.3% and South America (Mercosur) at +3.6%.

According to S&P Global Mobility (as of February 2024), 2024 is expected to be a transition year in terms of global light vehicle production within a context of a progressive recovery of 2017 peak levels (85.8 million vehicles in Gestamp's footprint). Following an extraordinary growth in 2023, market production volumes in Gestamp's footprint are expected to slightly increase in 2024 to 82,2 million units and are expected to surpass peak levels only by 2027 with 86.1 million vehicles.

Moreover, since after the summer of 2023 S&P Global Mobility has been slightly revising downwards its Electric Vehicle (EV) penetration estimates (S&P Global Mobility as of January 2024 expects 26.3 million EVs produced by 2025 with a market penetration of 29% versus the 26.8 million units expected for 2025 in May 2023) and growth in the EV market now looks more sawtooth shaped. However, automotive industry fundamentals for the medium term remain focused on the electrification trend as the world continues moving towards a sustainable mobility. China, Europe, and North America continue to be the main promoters of this EV trend, with EV penetration rates expected to reach 65%, 54% and 35%, respectively, by 2027. Gestamp continues to work closely to its clients with a leading positioning in this powertrain transition through its focus in Technology and Innovation and its unique value proposition.

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2023

Financial Results Overview

In this environment, the Company, on an individual level, continues to carry out its financial and advisory activity in favor of the group, materializing the growth of the group in new acquisitions and financing new investments by granting loans and taking shares, by attracting financing in the financial agents which it operates with.

During the 2023 financial year, the profit before taxes amounts to 77,697 thousand euros (84,468 thousand euros in 2022). The decrease in the result is fundamentally due to the worsening financial result, negative in 212,051 thousand euros compared to last year which was positive in 29,602 thousand euros due, mainly, to the increase in financial expenses (in €64.9 million), mainly due to the decrease in the heading "Income from changes in the fair value of financial instruments" (152.9 thousand euros less than in 2022). Being this impact, mitigated significantly by the increase in operating result from 54,865 thousand euros in 2022 to 289,747 thousand euros in 2023, due to the increase in turnover (in €170.5 million), in other operating income (in €6.5 million) and by the positive result in "Impairment losses and income from disposal of financial instruments" (€60 million more than in 2022). All of the above, together with the decrease in the expense in the Income Tax, produce a result after tax that amounts €75.8 million.

At the end of the 2023 financial year, the Company maintains a positive working capital of 477 million euros (595 million euros in 2021). Additionally, Gestamp has a Revolving Credit Facility of 500 million euros, maturing in 2028.

Dividend Policy

In 2018, the Board of Directors of Gestamp approved a dividend policy. Gestamp decided to distribute on an annual basis a total dividend equivalent to approximately 30% of the consolidated net profit for each year, but in two payments, anticipating part of the payment via an interim dividend:

  • I. A first payment, through the distribution of an interim dividend, that will be approved pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors to be adopted in December of each year and paid between January and February of the following year.
  • II. A second payment, through the distribution of an ordinary dividend, that will be approved by virtue of a resolution of the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting at the time of approval of the annual accounts and will be paid between the months of June and July of each year.

In line with our policy, in December 2023, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of an interim cash dividend in January 2024 against 2023 financial results. The payment took place on January 10th, 2024 for a gross amount of €0.07 per share.

Average Period for Payment to Suppliers

The Company has adapted their internal process and payment period policy to Law 15/2010, hence, measures to fight against default in trade operations have been implemented. In this regard, the conditions for contracting to commercial suppliers relating to the activity of the Company have included payment periods equal to or less than 60 days in both 2023 and 2022, as stipulated in Transitional Provision Two of the aforementioned law.

For reasons of efficiency and in line with common business uses, the Company basically have a supplier payment schedule, whereby payments are made on fixed days which, at the main companies, are twice a month.

In general, in 2023 and 2022, payments made by the Company to suppliers under agreements entered into after the entry into force of Law 15/2010, did not exceed the legal deferral limits. The payments made to Spanish suppliers in 2023 and 2022 that exceeded the established legal deadline have been, in quantitative terms, of scant relevance and are derived from circumstances or incidents outside the established payment policy, including mainly the closing of agreements with suppliers in the delivery of goods or provision of the service or specific handling processes.

Risk management

The identification, evaluation and management of risks has been included in Gestamp's culture and strategy since its inception and has gained special relevance in recent times with increasingly changing geopolitical and economic environments.

Risk management, implemented in all businesses and levels of the organization, contributes to reducing, in some cases substantially, the consequences and the probability of occurrence if any of the events materialize, and even transforming risks into opportunities and source of competitive advantage.

Comprehensive risk management system

Gestamp has a Comprehensive Risk Management System (SIGR) 1 to ensure that financial and nonfinancial risks that could affect the achievement of the Group's strategies and objectives are identified, evaluated and managed systematically and with homogeneous criteria.

Risk management is a process driven by the Board of Directors that helps the company generate value in a sustainable way while safeguarding the interests of its stakeholders.

Gestamp has a Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors that applies to all companies that make up the Group and covers all risks associated with the activities, processes, projects and business lines of the Group in all geographical areas. in which it operates.

This policy states 2 :

  • The different categories of financial, operational, strategic, reputational and compliance risks.
  • The basic principles, guidelines and general framework for action in this matter.
  • The bodies in charge of ensuring the proper functioning of the internal risk control and management systems, along with their roles and responsibilities.
  • The applicable criteria to set the level of risk that is considered acceptable.

The annual risk management process consists of:

  • The review and approval of risk assessment scales: impact, probability and speed of occurrence, as well as effectiveness of the controls that mitigate them.
  • Updating the Corporate Risk Map.
  • Monitoring of the different indicators defined for measuring risks.
  • The implementation and monitoring of the global or specific action plans necessary to respond and maintain risks within the risk levels that are considered acceptable.

YesNo □ Partial Policies □

If so, describe these diversity policies, their objectives, the measures and how they have been implemented and their results for the year. Also state the specific measures adopted by the Board of Directors and the Nomination and Compensation Committee to achieve a balanced and diverse presence of directors.

If the company does not implement a diversity policy, explain why not.

Description of the policies, objectives, measures and the way in which they have been implemented, as well as the results obtained

The Board of Directors' Diversity and Selection Policy approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 14 December 2017, at the proposal of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, and amended on 26 July 2022, defines the procedures and mechanisms for the selection of Directors in order to ensure an appropriate and diverse composition of the Board of Directors of the Company at all times. This policy sets out the underlying principles that are to govern it, which include the following:

  • Equal treatment and transparency. This principle states that the selection of directors shall be transparent and free from implicit bias, so as to guarantee the same opportunities for all qualified candidates.
  • Diversity. This principle states that diversity of skills, knowledge, experience, backgrounds, nationalities, age and gender shall be encouraged, in order to enrich the decision-making process and to bring different perspectives to discussions on matters within the Board's competence.

In pursuit of this principle of diversity, and of gender diversity in particular, the Board of Directors' Diversity and Selection Policy establishes that, given the equality of knowledge, skills and experience of the candidates, the Board of Directors shall endeavor to co-opt or propose the appointment to the General Shareholders' Meeting of a candidate belonging to the least represented gender. In this regard, the aforementioned Policy also establishes the Board's duty to ensure that the Company's diversity measures encourage a significant number of women in senior management positions within the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Recommendation 14 of the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies.

The Board of Directors' Knowledge, Skills, Diversity and Experience Guide sets out the knowledge, skills, diversity and experience that the Board of Directors as a whole must possess such that it serves as a reference and support tool for the Board of Directors' Selection Policy. This guide, approved on 14 December 2017 by the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, develops the aforementioned principles and establishes that, for the purposes of selecting candidates and re-electing Directors, and in the face of equal knowledge and experience, diversity is to be encouraged, thus preventing discrimination on grounds of gender, age, culture, religion and race, and that the composition of the Board of Directors is to be in accordance with the demographic reality of the markets in which the Company operates.

On the other hand, in accordance with Article 41. 1. (b) of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Nomination and Compensation Committee verified compliance with the aforementioned Board of Directors Selection and Diversity Policy at its meeting on 18 December 2023. Given that there have been no vacancies on the Board of Directors in 2023, the verification of compliance with this Policy has focused on ensuring that the Board of Directors had an appropriate and diverse composition during the year.

C.1.6 Explain any measures, if appropriate, approved by the Nomination Committee in order for selection procedures to be free of any implied bias that hinders the selection of female directors, and in order for the company to deliberately search for women who meet the professional profile that is sought and include them among potential candidates in order to allow for a balanced presence of men and women. Also indicate if these measures include promoting a significant number of female high executives at the company:

As set out in section C.1.5., the Board of Directors' Selection and Diversity Policy states that equal treatment and diversity shall be inspirational principles for directors' selection processes. The policy establishes that the selection process of possible directors shall be based on an analysis of the duties and the skills required to adequately meet the diversity profile of the Board of Directors, among other profiles, based on that set out in the Knowledge, Skills, Diversity and Experience Guide of the Board of Directors. Such guide contains the main criteria that were followed to design the composition of the current Board of Directors and that are to be followed when it comes to filling future vacancies.

Some of the stand-out principles include favouring the selection of candidates and the re-election of directors, who have the necessary knowledge and experience, favouring diversity and preventing discrimination on grounds of gender, among other reasons.

On July 26, 2022, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee proposed for approval by the Board of Directors, the introduction of certain amendments to the aforementioned Selection and Diversity Policy of the Board of Directors, and specifically, the inclusion of the duty of the Board of Directors to ensure that, in the event of equality of knowledge, skills and experience of the candidates, it shall endeavor to appoint by co-optation or propose the appointment to the General Shareholders' Meeting of a candidate belonging to the least represented gender. In this regard, the aforementioned Policy also includes the duty of the Board of Directors to ensure that the Company's diversity measures encourage a significant number of women in senior management positions within the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Recommendation 14 of the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies.

In this regard, as mentioned below as part of the assessment of the Board of Directors (section C.1.17), the action plan prepared by the Nomination and Compensation Committee and submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors at its first meeting in 2023 included certain recommendations to be carried out during the year, such as continuing to fulfil the diversity principle included in both the Diversity and Selection Policy and the Knowledge, Skills, Diversity and Experience Guide of the Board of Directors.

In addition, among the measures adopted to encourage the Company to have a significant number of female executives, since 2018 the Company has participated in the Promociona executive development programme, organised by the ESADE business school together with the CEOE, in which female employees of the Group with executive potential participate on an annual basis.

If there are few or no female directors despite any measures adopted, if applicable, describe the reasons why:

Explanation of reasons

C.1.7 Explain the conclusions of the Nomination Committee regarding verification of compliance with the Board of Directors' appropriate structure policy.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 41. 1. (b) of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Nomination and Compensation Committee, at its meeting held on 18 December 2023, verified compliance with the Selection and Diversity Policy of the Board of Directors during financial year 2023. In this regard, since there were no vacancies on the Board of Directors during the year, the verification of compliance has focused on ensuring that the Board of Directors had an appropriate and diverse composition during the year.

Description of amendments

C.1.16 State the procedures for the selection, appointment, re-election and removal of directors. Describe the competent bodies, procedures to be followed and the criteria to be used in each procedure.

Selection

The Board of Directors' Selection and Diversity Policy aims to ensure an appropriate and diverse composition of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Prior to any selection process, the Nomination and Compensation Committee will come up with a competency matrix for the Board of Directors (the "Matrix"), which defines the aptitudes and expertise of the candidates, particularly those of the executives and independents. This will assist the Committee in defining the duties that should correspond to each position to be covered, as well as the skills, knowledge and expertise that are most suited to the Board of Directors. The Nomination and Compensation Committee must keep this Matrix up to date, bearing in mind the challenges and opportunities that the Company expects to encounter in the short, medium and long term.

Accordingly, the selection of candidates for Directors shall be based on a prior analysis of the functions and skills required to adequately complement the profile of knowledge, skills, diversity and experience of the Board of Directors, based on the needs defined in the Matrix and the Guideline on Knowledge, Skills, Diversity and Experience of the Board of Directors. The analysis will be undertaken by the Board of Directors, with advice from the Nomination and Compensation Committee.

The result of the prior analysis shall be set out in a supporting report by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, which shall serve as the basis for the preparation of the mandatory supporting report by the Board of Directors. Both explanatory reports shall be published when the General Meeting of Shareholders is convened at which the ratification, appointment or re-election of each Director is submitted.

Depending on the needs to be covered in relation to the Board of Directors detected in the aforementioned analysis, the Nomination and Compensation Committee shall define the minimum profile and capabilities that a candidate must meet in order to be considered in the selection process for appointment or re-election as a member of the Board of Directors.

In the case of appointment of Independent Directors, the Nomination and Compensation Committee shall ensure that, when engaging the services of external advisors, if any, they do not provide the Company with other significant services that could call into question their independence.

Otherwise, any Director may suggest names of potential candidates. Nevertheless, when candidates are presented for assessment by the Nomination and Compensation Committee by significant shareholders, Proprietary Directors or Executive Directors, the Nomination and Compensation Committee must err on the side of caution and gather as much information as it deems necessary to ensure that the candidate proposed does not have ties that could compromise their independence.

The Nomination and Compensation Committee, in accordance with the preliminary analysis carried out and the definition of the profile and capabilities of the potential candidates for Director positions, shall submit to the Board of Directors a proposal in relation to the appointment or re-election of Independent Directors together with the corresponding report justifying such proposal, and, with respect to the remaining categories of Directors, a report justifying the same.

The Board of Directors shall analyse the proposal and the supporting report submitted by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, for the purpose of appointing by co-option, or proposing to the General Meeting the appointment or re-election of Directors.

Appointment and re-election

The appointment and re-election of the members of the Board of Directors is governed under Article 16 and subsequent articles of the Regulations of the Board of Directors of the Company.

In this respect, it corresponds to the General Shareholders' Meeting to appoint and re-elect the members of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to the power of the Board of Directors to appoint members of the Board under its own powers of cooption.

The appointment or re-election of directors will be undertaken at the proposal of the Board of Directors in the case of non-independent directors. Upon appointing or re-electing independent directors, the proposal must be undertaken by the Nomination and Compensation Committee. In any case, the referred to proposals must precede the report of the Nomination and Compensation Committee and the report of the Board of Directors.

Removal

As regards the removal of members of the Board of Directors, Article 20 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors establishes the reasons for which a director should relinquish his or her position (as detailed in section C.1.19 of this report). The director leaving his/her post before the end of his office should sufficiently explain the reasons for his/her resignation or, in the case of non-executive directors, his/her opinions about the grounds for his/her dismissal by the General Shareholders' Meeting in a letter sent to all members of the Board. Without prejudice to the fact that all the information is contained in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, the Company shall publish, as soon as possible and to the extent relevant for investors, the resignation in question, providing sufficient information on the reasons or circumstances given by the director. Furthermore, said Article sets out the powers of the Board of Directors to propose the removal of its members to the General Shareholders' Meeting. As regards Independent Directors, the Board may only propose their removal when there is justified cause to do so or as the result of a corporate transaction that entails a change in structure, following a report by the Nomination and Compensation Committee.

C.1.17 Explain the extent to which the annual assessment of the board has led to significant changes in its internal organisation and the procedures applicable to its activities:

Description of amendments

Pursuant to Article 36 of Company's Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Board shall devote the first of its annual meetings to evaluate its own performance in the previous year and, where appropriate, to adopt an action plan to correct any aspects seen to be of scant functionality. Furthermore, the Board of Directors must assess (i) the performance of duties by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and, should the position be held by a different person, by the chief executive of the Company, based on the report submitted to them by the Nomination and Compensation Committee; as well as (ii) the functioning of the committees of the Board of Directors, based on the report they submit to it.

In this regard, the Nomination and Compensation Committee, at the request of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, began the coordination of the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors for 2022 at its meeting of 7 November 2022, the results and action plan of which were addressed by the Board of Directors at its first meeting in 2023. In this regard, the action plan approved by the Board of Directors in relation to the results of the evaluation for financial year 2022 included some recommendations to be carried out in 2023. In this sense, highlights include:

  • Continuing to improve the deadline for notice and distribution of the documentation necessary for the preparation of the meetings of the Board of Directors.
  • Distributing the annual schedule of Board of Directors' meetings further in advance.
  • Expanding the annual training plan for Directors specifically in the areas of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) matters, R&D, cybersecurity and criminal risk prevention.
  • Reporting in greater detail by the chairpersons of the Committees of the Board of Directors.
  • Continue to increase the participation of the Group's management in Board and Committee meetings as a way of gaining first-hand knowledge of the execution of the Company's strategy and management talent.
  • Continuing the participation of external advisors in the meetings of the Committees on issues of interest to them.
  • The plan to continue to monitor compliance with the diversity principle included in the Board of Directors' Selection and Diversity Policy and its Knowledge, Skills, Diversity and Experience Guide.

Finally, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee has monitored the aforementioned action plan during fiscal year 2023 and has concluded that the degree of compliance with the plan has been very satisfactory.

Describe the evaluation process and the areas evaluated by the board of directors assisted, where appropriate, by an external consultant, regarding the operation and composition of the board and its committees and any other area or aspect that has been subject to evaluation.

The evaluation process of the Company's Board of Directors for 2023 began on 26 October 2023 and was coordinated by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, at the request of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In this regard, in compliance with Recommendation 36 of the Good Governance Code for Listed Companies, the Company hired the external consultant KPMG this year for the evaluation process. This process consisted mainly in filling out an online assessment form, personal interviews with each of the members of the Board of Directors conducted by the external consultant, the issuance of an assessment report and preparation of an action plan.

The areas evaluated were as follows:

  • Composition of the Board of Directors.
  • Functioning and Effectiveness of the Board of Directors.
  • Performance of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.
  • Performance of the Secretary of the Board of Directors.
  • Performance and contribution of each Director.
  • Functioning and composition of the Audit Committee.
  • Functioning and composition of the Nomination and Compensation Committee.
  • Functioning and composition of the Sustainability Committee.

On 18 December 2023, the results of their evaluation were submitted to the Nomination and Compensation Committee, as well as those regarding the evaluation of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the Board of Directors. On the same date, the results of their evaluation were submitted to the Audit Committee and the Sustainability Committee. After analysing the results, each of the Committees issued a report on the evaluation. In addition, the Nomination and Compensation Committee, aided by the external consultant, prepared an action plan that was presented at the first meeting of the Board of Directors in 2024 together with the reports issued by each committee, in line with Article 36 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, which will be reported in the 2024 Annual Corporate Governance Report.

C.1.18 For any years where the evaluation was assisted by an external consultant, list the business relationships between the consultant or any company in their group and the company or any company of its group.

As indicated in section C.1.17, in compliance with Recommendation 36 of the Good Governance Code for Listed Companies, the external consultant KPMG was engaged to aid in evaluating the Board of Directors for the first time in 2023.

In this regard, in addition to this advisory service in the evaluation of the Board of Directors, KPMG provides tax advising services and other labour, ESG and technology consulting services to a number of companies in the Gestamp Group. The services billed by KPMG Spain to the Gestamp Group in 2023 amounted to a total of 236 thousand euros, which does not jeopardise its independence.

C.1.19 State the circumstances under which the resignation of directors is mandatory.

As established in Article 20 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, directors must tender their resignation to the Board of Directors and actually resign if the Board considers it necessary at the request of a majority of two thirds of its membership and following a report in that regard from the Nomination and Compensation Committee:

  • when the post, position or duties to which their appointments as executive directors were associated come to an end;
  • in the case of proprietary directors, when the shareholders they represent dispose of their ownership interest in its entirety, or they do so in the number that would correspond in the event that said

shareholders reduce their ownership interest in the Company;

  • in the case of independent directors, when an unexpected event prevents them, pursuant to the law, from continuing in their positions;
  • when they are involved in any situation of incompatibility or prohibition provided for by law;
  • when the Board is aware of a serious breach of their duties as directors, following a proposal or report by the Nomination and Compensation Committee;
  • when situations affecting them arise, whether or not related to their work in or for the Company, which could jeopardize its credit and reputation; or
  • when they lose respectability, suitability, solvency, competence, availability or commitment to their duties to be a director of the Company. In particular, it is understood that this circumstance occurs when the director is indicted or summoned in criminal proceedings.
  • C.1.20 Are qualified majorities, different from the statutory majorities, required to adopt any type of decision?:

However, in accordance with the provisions in the Board of Directors Selection and Diversity Policy, it must ensure the capacity of candidates, standing for the position of chairperson of the Board of Directors, in terms of undertaking the position and, in particular, of undertaking the duties relating to the organisation and functioning of the Board of Directors.

If so, briefly describe such rules.

Pursuant to Article 19 of the Articles of Association and Article 36 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, in the event that the directors cannot attend sessions of the Board of Directors in person, they may delegate their vote to another Director, together with the appropriate instructions, by means of a letter addressed to the Chairman.

In this sense, such representation shall be specially granted for each session and the Board chairperson shall decide, where doubt exists, on the validity of the proxies granted by directors who do not attend the session.

Non-executive Directors may only delegate their representation to another non-executive Director.

C.1.25 State the number of meetings that the board of directors has held during the financial year. In addition, specify the number of times the board has met, if any, at which the chairman was not in attendance. Proxies granted with specific instructions shall be counted as attendance.

In accordance with the provisions under Articles 15 and 40 of the Company's Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall seek to definitively prepare the financial statements in such a way that there is no qualification by the auditors. However, when the Board of Directors considers that its criteria must be maintained, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall explain to shareholders the opinion as to the content and scope of such qualifications during the General Shareholders' Meeting at which the financial statements are approved and shall provide shareholders with a summary report of said opinion, when the relevant meeting is called.

Furthermore, the duties of the Audit Committee of the Company that are set out in Article 40 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors include the duty of informing the Board of Directors on the financial information that, due to its listed status, the Company must periodically make public, as well as the duty of supervising and evaluating the preparation process, integrity and presentation of regulated financial reporting on the Company, checking that regulatory requirements are met and accounting criteria are correctly applied, thereby increasing the likelihood that there are no qualifications in the annual audit reports.

Furthermore, during the year the Audit Committee has held meetings with the external auditor without the presence of the Management to ensure the auditing process of the individual and consolidated financial statements is undertaken correctly.

C.1.29 Is the secretary of the board a director?

Observations

C.1.30 State the specific mechanisms established by the company to preserve the

independence of the external auditors and also the mechanisms, if any, to preserve the independence of financial analysts, investment banks and rating agencies, including how the legal provisions have been implemented in practice.

The Company has established diverse mechanisms aimed at preserving the necessary independence of the auditor. Among them is one of the fundamental competencies of the Audit Committee (exclusively comprised by non-executive directors, who were appointed based on their knowledge and experience in accounting, auditing or risk management, and with the majority of independent directors –including the chairperson–), which consists of monitoring the independence of the auditor and, particularly, of receiving information on matters that could put such audit at risk.

To that effect, in accordance with the terms of Article 40 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Committee has the following functions:

  • Submitting proposals on the selection, appointment, re-election and replacement of the auditor.
  • Receiving information and studying issues that may put the independence of the auditor at risk. In this respect, during the year under review, the Audit Committee met with the external auditor of the Company and its group to discuss various matters, including the planning of the external audit and the preliminary conclusions of the audit of the annual accounts. At these meetings, the external auditor compiles and lists the services approved to date, and reports on the different threats and the safeguarding measures adopted by the auditor, no significant threats having been identified by the auditor to date.
  • Issuing once a year, prior to issuance of the auditor's report, a report expressing an opinion about the independence of the auditor of the financial statements. It must also expressly discuss the additional services provided by the auditor.

For that purpose, and in any case, the Audit Committee shall receive from the auditor the written confirmation of his or her independence in relation to the Company or to the companies connected with it, whether directly or indirectly, as well as detailed and itemised information on any kind of additional services provided and on the corresponding fees (including those provided by persons or companies connected to them), pursuant to the provisions in the legislation on the auditing of financial statements.

Furthermore, the Company has implemented mechanisms that govern the relationships of the Board of Directors with the auditor of the financial statements, ensuring that his or her independence is strictly respected. As established in Article 15 of the Regulations of Board of Directors:

  • The Board's relationship with the auditor of the Company's financial statements and of the Group's consolidated financial statements shall be channelled through the Audit Committee.
  • To prevent the work-related remuneration of external auditors from compromising their quality and independence, the Board of Directors shall not propose the hiring of auditing firms when the fees envisaged (for all concepts) exceed ten per cent of the revenue of said firm in Spain in the previous financial year.
  • The Board of Directors shall seek to definitively prepare the financial statements without auditor qualifications; however, when the Board of Directors considers that its criteria must be maintained, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall explain to shareholders the Committee's opinion as to the content and scope of such qualifications during the General Shareholders' Meeting at which the financial statements are approved and shall provide shareholders with a summary report of said opinion, when the relevant meeting is called.
  • The plenary session of the Board of Directors shall hold a meeting at least once a year with the auditor of the financial statements, in which the auditor shall report on the work undertaken, the evolution of the accounting situation and the risks to the Company.

In addition, in compliance with the recommendations set out in Technical Guide 3/2017 of the National Securities Market Commission on audit committees of public interest entities, the Audit Committee, in its meeting on 28 June 2018, approved the Policy for the approval of services by the external auditor other than the auditing of the Company's financial statements which is intended as a series of criteria and procedures for the approval of nonprohibited services other than the auditing of financial statements provided by the external auditor, the ultimate purpose of which is to promote the auditor's independence. In addition, the Audit Committee periodically verifies that the total fees received for non-audit services by the external auditor do not exceed 70% of the average of the fees paid in the last three consecutive financial years for audit services of the Company and its group and parent company. In financial year 2023, this figure represents approximately 28.69%, following the criterion established in European Regulation 537/2014 on the specific requirements for the statutory audit of public interest entities. that is, considering those services that are not purely auditing of accounts (all those that do not imply an audit opinion) provided exclusively by the Spanish company "Ernst & Young, S.L." (as this is the company appointed as external auditor of the Company) both to the Company itself and to the companies of its group and to its parent company, Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L. and to the companies it controls, except for those services legally required by national or community legislation (called "ope legis").

In relation to the mechanisms established to preserve the independence of financial analysts, investment banks and rating agencies, on 24 February 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Policy on Reporting of Economic-Financial, Non-financial and Corporate Information, and Contact with Shareholders, Investors and Voting Advisors which (i) establishes the basic principles that are to govern the Company's communication and contacts with its shareholders, institutional investors, voting advisors and other stakeholders, such as intermediary financial institutions, managers and depositories of the Company's shares, financial analysts, regulatory and supervisory bodies, rating agencies, information agencies and such like, and (ii) defines the communication channels that the Company makes available to them to maintain efficient, transparent and ongoing communication.

C.1.31 State whether or not the Company has changed the external auditor during the financial year. If so, identify the incoming and the outgoing auditor:

but required "ope legis" by national or European Union legislation (102

statement of non-financial information and agreed-upon procedure reports

C.1.33 State whether the audit report on the financial statements for the prior financial year has observations or qualifications. If so, state the reasons given to the general meeting by the chairperson of the audit committee to explain the content and scope of such observations or qualifications.

Yes □ No

group has been audited (%)

Observations It is hereby stated for the record that the Company is considered a Public Interest Entity for the purposes of the regulations governing the auditing of accounts, since the admission to trading of its shares in the 2017 financial year.

C.1.35 State whether or not there is any procedure for directors to obtain in good time the information required to prepare for meetings of management-level decision-making bodies and, if so, describe it:

YesNo □

Describe the procedure

As set out in Article 36 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the meetings of the Board of Directors shall be convened with at least 5 days' notice before the meeting is to be held. However, normally the sessions of the Board of Directors of the Company are called with a more extensive time margin than that stated in the Regulations of the Board of Directors.

The agenda of the session, the date and place will always be included in the call of each meeting. The relevant documentation required so that the members of the Board can formulate their opinion and, if appropriate, cast their vote regarding the matters submitted for their consideration, is to be made available as soon as possible through the online platform enabled for that purpose.

In this regard, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 19 of the articles of association and 30 and 34 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the person responsible for ensuring that the directors receive all the necessary information in sufficient time and in the appropriate format is the chairperson of the Board of Directors, with the collaboration of the secretary.

Furthermore, Article 22 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors establishes the duty of directors to sufficiently find out about and prepare for meetings of the Board and of the delegated bodies to which they belong, seeking sufficient information for it and the collaboration or assistance that they deem appropriate, which is to be paid for by the company.

In addition, Article 27 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors grants Directors the power to study the documentation deemed necessary, contact the heads of the departments affected and visit the corresponding facilities. For that purpose, the request is channelled through the secretary of the Board of Directors. Should it be rejected, delayed or incorrectly handled, it will be sent to the Audit Committee. In the event that said request is unnecessary or hinders the interests of the Company, it shall be definitively rejected.

C.1.36 State, and as applicable detail, whether the company has established any rules requiring directors to inform the company —and, if applicable, resign from their position— in cases affecting them in relation to their performance at the company itself which may impair its credit and reputation:

YesNo □

Explain the rules

Pursuant to the provisions under Article 22 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the duties of directors include the duty to notify the Company of any type of judicial, administrative or other claim in which they are involved that, due to its importance, could have a serious impact on the credit and reputation of the Company. In particular, all directors must inform the Company if they are indicted in criminal proceedings and of the relevant milestones in such proceedings. In this case, the Board of Directors, subject to the prior report from the Nomination and Compensation Committee, shall make the decision deemed most appropriate to the Company's interests.

Furthermore, Article 20 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors establishes the obligation of directors to tender their position to the Board of Directors and formalise the corresponding resignation, at the request of the majority of two thirds of its members and subject to the previous report of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, when they no longer have the respectability, suitability, solvency, competence, availability or commitment to their duties to be a director of the Company. In particular, it is understood that this circumstance occurs when the director is indicted or summoned in criminal proceedings.

C.1.37 Indicate, unless special circumstances have arisen that have been noted in the minutes, if the Board has been informed of or has somehow found out about a situation that affects a director, whether relating or not to his/her actions within the company, that many hinder its standing and reputation:

Yes □ No ☒

Observations

In the previous circumstance, state whether or not the Board of Directors has examined the case. If yes, give a reasoned explication on whether or not, according to the specific circumstances, measures have been adopted, such as the launching of an internal investigation, requesting the resignation of the director or proposing his/her dismissal. Furthermore, state whether or not the Board's decision was made with a report from the Nomination Committee.

Decision made / action taken Duly substantiated
explanation

C.1.38 Describe any significant agreements entered into by the company that take effect, are amended, or terminate in the event of a change in control of the company as a result of a takeover bid, and the effects thereof.

There are no such significant agreements.

C.1.39 Identify, on an individual basis in reference to directors, and on an aggregate basis for all other cases, and provide a detailed description of the agreements between the company and its management level and decision-making positions or employees that provide for compensation, guarantee or "golden parachute" clauses upon resignation or termination without cause, or if the contractual relationship is terminated as a result of a takeover bid or other type of transaction.

Number of beneficiaries 2
Type of beneficiary Description of agreement
Mr Francisco JosÈ Riberas Mera
Severance pay: the contract signed between the
Company and the executive Director Mr Francisco
Riberas Mera provides for a gross severance pay in
the event of termination (not arising from serious
breach by the Director) equivalent to two annual
payments of the fixed and variable remuneration in
force at the time of termination, when this occurs
by unilateral decision of the Company. At 31
December 2023, he would be entitled to a severance
payment of 2,142,000 euros.
Post-contractual
non-competition
clause:
In
addition, the contract also includes a post
contractual non-competition clause by virtue of
which Mr Francisco Riberas Mera assumes a non
competition obligation for a period of one year from
the date of termination of the contract. The
compensation established for this non-competition
commitment amounts to 1,000,000 euros, to be
paid in twelve equal monthly instalments.
The
contract
also
expressly
establishes
that
termination
payments
(including
termination
benefits and payments under the post-contractual
non-competition clause) may in no case exceed an
amount equivalent to two years' total annual
remuneration (including fixed remuneration and
variable
annual
remuneration
in
force).
Consequently, in the event that the payments for
the aforementioned items exceed this limit, the
compensation for termination of the contract
would be reduced by the necessary amount.
Mr Francisco LÛpez PeÒa It is hereby noted that the service agreement in
place between Director Mr Francisco LÛpez PeÒa
and the Company expired on 31 December 2023.
Therefore,
said
Director
no
longer
holds
"executive" capacity, and is classified instead as a
"proprietary" Director as of said date. However,
since this contract was valid throughout 2023, the
required information is shown in this section.
Severance payment: the contract signed between
the Company and the executive director Mr
Francisco LÛpez PeÒa provides for a severance
payment equivalent to the fixed remuneration in
force at the time of removal or resignation, which
the director would have received had he continued
in that position from the date of removal until the
date of termination of his contract, up to a limit of
two years' fixed remuneration, when the removal is
due to a unilateral decision by the Company or
when the resignation of the executive director is the
result of a change of control of the Company.
Consequently, the severance amount would be
subject to the time at which the director's
termination or resignation occurs, and this fact
could determine an amount of 0 euros, if the
termination or resignation occurs on the day of the
termination date of his contract, i.e. 31 December
2023, or it could have been up to one year of his
fixed remuneration, i.e. 300,000 euros, in the event
that his termination had occurred on 31 December
2022.
Post-contractual
non-competition
clause:
in
addition, the contract also contains a post
contractual non-competition clause for a period of
one year from the date of termination of the
contract, compensation for which is included in the
remuneration defined in the contract.
The total amount of compensation, if any, payable
to the executive director under his commercial
contract
may
not
exceed
two
years'
fixed
remuneration.
It is noted that the termination of the service
agreement did not give rise to any severance pay
whatsoever because said termination resulted from
expiration of the contract term. Although Mr
LÛpez PeÒa ceased to provide services to the
Company, he remains in his position as Director of
the Company, albeit as a proprietary director, as
mentioned above, since 1 January 2024, receiving
remuneration in its condition as such from that
date.

State whether or not, beyond the cases set out in the regulations, such agreements have to be reported and/or approved by the decision-making bodies of the company or its group. If so, specify the procedures, cases set out and the nature of the decision-making bodies responsible for approving or reporting them:

Observations

C.2.3 State, where applicable, the existence of regulations of the board committees, where such regulations can be consulted, and any amendments made during the financial year. Also state if any annual report of the activities performed by each committee has been voluntarily prepared.

The Regulations of the Board of Directors thoroughly regulate the rules of composition and functioning, as well as the responsibilities of both the Audit Committee, the Nomination and Compensation Committee and the Sustainability Committee.

In favour of greater simplicity, avoiding duplications and aiming to facilitate comprehension and application, a comprehensive regulation integrated into the Regulations of the Board of Directors has been chosen as opposed to a specific regulation for each Committee.

The revised text of the Regulations of the Board of Directors is published on the Company's website (www.gestamp.com) in the sections "Shareholders and Investors", "Corporate Governance", "Board of Directors" and "Regulations of the Board of Directors", as well as in CNMV's website.

The Audit Committee and the Nomination and Compensation Committee

submit on an annual basis to the approval of the Board of Directors an activity report to be subsequently made available to shareholders at the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the provisions contained in Article 39 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors. In this sense, the Sustainability Committee prepares and submits such report voluntarily for the approval of the Board of Directors, even though Recommendation 6 of the Good Governance Code of listed companies does not require so and neither does Article 39 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND INTRAGROUP TRANSACTIONS D

D.1 Explain, where applicable, the procedure and competent bodies for approving relatedparty and intragroup transactions, indicating the entity's criteria and internal general rules governing the obligations of abstention of the affected directors or shareholders and detailing the internal reporting and periodic monitoring procedures set by the company in relation to related transactions whose approval has been delegated by the Board of Directors.

Article 8 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors attributes to the Company's Board of Directors, among other functions, the approval of transactions performed by the Company or Group companies with major shareholders or shareholders represented in the Board of Directors of the Company or of other Group companies, or with persons related to it, after a favourable report from the Audit Committee, and with the abstention of the affected directors, except for exempt cases set out in the legislation in force.

In this sense, the Board of Directors, after a favourable report from the Audit Committee, will be in charge of approving the related transactions whose amounts or values are not equal to or higher than 10% of total asset items according to the last annual consolidated balance sheet approved by the Company. In addition, the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting will be in charge of approving, after a report from the Audit Committee, the related transactions whose amounts or values are not equal to or higher than 10% of total asset items according to the last annual consolidated balance sheet approved by the Company, pursuant to Article 529(22) of Companies Act.

Moreover, on 21 March 2017, Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L., Gonvarri CorporaciÛn Financiera, S.L. and the Company signed the Protocol for Regulating Transactions with Related Parties of Gestamp AutomociÛn, S.A. and its Subsidiaries. This agreement incorporates the general framework that governs the relations between the Company and its subsidiaries, and group of companies under the parent company Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L. The protocol sets forth the principles that must be observed by all related-party transactions.

D.2 Detail on a specific basis the transactions that are significant in terms of amount or subject matter, as performed between the company or its subsidiaries and the shareholders owning 10% or more of voting rights or represented at the company's board of directors, indicating the competent body for approval thereof and whether any affected shareholder or director has abstained.

D.6 Describe the mechanisms used to detect, determine and resolve potential conflicts of interest between the company and/or its group, and its directors, executives, or significant shareholders or other related parties.

Article 22 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors establishes the duty of directors to inform the Company of any direct or indirect situation of conflict that they or persons linked to them may have as regards the interests of the Company. In this sense, apart from the communication that the directors may send to the Company, as applicable, in the event of a conflict of interest, the directors are required to make a statement indicating the existence of any conflict with the Company's interests upon preparation of the financial statements and the semi-annual financial information by the Board of Directors.

On the other hand, articles 21, 24, 25 and 26 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors regulate the duties of Directors, including the duty to abstain, the duty not to compete, duties relating to the use of non-public information, corporate assets and taking advantage of business opportunities. Furthermore, those articles govern the Company's system of exemption, which shall be agreed at the General Shareholders' Meeting or by the Board of Directors, as appropriate, under the provisions set out in the Companies Act, the articles of association or in the Regulations of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Senior executives, as set forth in Article 11 of the Internal Code of Conduct for the Securities Markets, shall act at all times with loyalty towards the Company, refraining from participating in or influencing decision making as to the matters in which they are affected by a conflict of interests, and they shall not have access to the confidential information affecting such conflict.

Finally, with respect to the significant shareholder and as mentioned in section D.1., on 21 March 2017, Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L., Gonvarri CorporaciÛn Financiera, S.L. and the Company signed the Protocol for Regulating Transactions with Related Parties of Gestamp AutomociÛn, S.A. and its Subsidiaries, which sets forth the principles that should govern all related-party transactions.

D.7 Indicate if the company is controlled by another entity in the sense of Article 42 of the Code of Commerce, whether listed or not, and has, directly or through subsidiaries, business relations with said entity or any of its subsidiaries (different from those of the listed company) or undertakes activities related to any of them.

YesNo □

Indicate if it has publicly and specifically informed of the respective areas of activity and possible business relations between, on the one hand, the listed company or its subsidiaries, and, on the other, the parent company or its subsidiaries:

YesNo □

Report on the respective areas of activity and the possible business relations between, on the one hand, the listed company or its subsidiaries, and, on the other, the parent company or its subsidiaries, and state where these aspects have been publicly disclosed As indicated in section D.2 of the report, during financial year 2022, the Acek Group has had the following business relations with the Gestamp Group: (a) Relations with Acek, holding company of the Acek Group, and subsidiaries of the Acek Group relating to: Supplies and centralised services provided by Acek to the Group: consolidated accounting services, centralised negotiating and formalisation of insurance, centralised negotiating and formalisation of IT licences.

The Group's companies have business relations with different subsidiaries of the Gonvarri Group, the activity of which is the steel service, and the Gonvarri Group is their entrusted steel service centre. As such, the Gonvarri Group acts not only as a provider of steel cutting and coating services, but also as a provider of said steel, which it acquires from the corresponding producer. In addition, the Group has leased (as lessee) from the Gonvarri Group certain assets to carry out its activities.

(c) Relations with Inmobiliaria Acek, S.L., and its subsidiaries ("Inmobiliaria Acek Group").

Identify the mechanisms established to resolve possible conflicts of interest between the listed parent company and the other companies of the group:

Mechanisms to resolve possible conflicts of interests

As referred to in section D.1 of this report, on 21 March 2017, Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L., Gonvarri CorporaciÛn Financiera, S.L., and the Company signed the Protocol for Regulating Transactions with Related Parties of Gestamp AutomociÛn, S.A., and its Subsidiaries. This agreement incorporates the general framework that governs the relations between the Company, its subsidiaries, and its related parties, particularly with the group of companies under the parent company Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L.

In this regard, the protocol:

(i) Defines the areas of activity of the Gestamp group and establishes an activity reserve with respect to them.

(ii) Defines the normal business relationships between the Gestamp Group with the Acek Group (the parent group of which is Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L. and to which the Gestamp Group belongs) and with the Gonvarri Group (the parent group of which is Gonvarri CorporaciÛn Financiera, S.L. and which, in turn, belongs to the Acek Group) that constitute related-party relationships. These relationships include (a) the purchase and sale of steel plate by the Gestamp Group to the Gonvarri Group and the provision by the Gonvarri Group to the Gestamp Group of cutting and coating services, (b) the provision by the Acek Group to the Gestamp Group of corporate services and supplies and centralised services, (c) the provision by the Gestamp Group to the Acek Group of corporate services.

(iii) Establishes the principles with which all related party transactions must comply, which include: (a) adequate documentation of the terms and conditions, (b) performance on market terms, (c) performance of the operations using the diligence required of an expert in the sector to which each of the parties belongs and with the quality standards of the market, and (d) with respect to the terms of the protocol and the contract that regulates the relationship.

(iv) With respect to the mechanisms for resolving conflicts of interest, reference is made to the mechanisms provided for in the Regulations of the Board of Directors (previously described in this section) and to the Spanish Companies Act and other applicable regulations.

On the other hand, in line with what is referred to in section D.6 of this report, article 22 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors establishes the duty of the Director to notify the Company of any situation of direct or indirect conflict that persons related to him/her (including Gestamp's parent company, Acek, and the companies of its group) may have with the interests of the Company (i.e. with

Gestamp and the companies of its group).

In this respect, in addition to the communication, if any, sent by the Directors to the Company when a conflict of interest situation arises between related parties, the Directors must complete a declaration in which they must indicate the existence of any situation of conflict with the interests of the Company and the companies of its group when the annual accounts and half-yearly financial information are drawn up by the Board of Directors.

On the other hand, articles 21, 24, 25 and 26 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors regulate the duties of the Directors with regard to their duty to abstain, their duty not to compete, the use of non-public information and corporate assets and the taking advantage of business opportunities, all these precepts also being applicable to the related parties of the Directors, in this case, once again and among others, the parent company of Gestamp, Acek and the companies of its group. Furthermore, those articles govern the Company's system of exemption, which shall be agreed at the General Shareholders' Meeting or by the Board of Directors, as appropriate, under the provisions set out in the Companies Act, the articles of association or in the Regulations of the Board of Directors of the Company.

RISK CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS E

E.1 Explain the scope of the company's financial and non-financial risks management system, including the system for managing tax risks.

The Group operates in multiple countries, markets and regulatory, political and socioeconomic environments and is therefore exposed to different types of risks (strategic, operating, financial, compliance and reputational risks), which may affect its performance and must therefore be mitigated in the most effective way possible, thus enabling it to generate value in a sustainable manner, protect the interests of our shareholders and stakeholders and, ultimately, achieve our strategic objectives.

In this sense, the Group has a Comprehensive Risk Management System (hereinafter "CRMS") to ensure that the financial and non-financial risks that may impair the achievement of the Group's strategies and goals are identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled systematically, with uniform criteria and within the risk levels accepted by the Company's Board of Directors. The financial or economic risks include the accuracy of the different financial reports, fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, and the management of cash flows and liquidity. In addition, nonfinancial risks include, among others, operating, technological, environmental, legal, social, political, reputational and compliance risks (including tax risks and those related to corruption).

The CRMS in force, approved in 2021 by the Group, after having finalised its development and implementation, is based on the COSO ERM -Enterprise Risk Management- model and on the good practices mentioned in the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies and in the Technical Guide 3/2017 on Audit Committees of Public Interest Entities. The COSO ERM model is based on a systematic and detailed approach to identify events, assess, prioritise and respond to risks related to the achievement of the strategy and its business objectives.

In order to facilitate and promote effective, comprehensive, systematic and uniform management, the Group established the Comprehensive Risk Management System Policy (hereinafter "CRMS Policy"), the implementation of which extends to all companies belonging to the Group. Its scope covers all activities, processes, projects and business lines, as well as all geographical areas in which it operates.

The current CRMS Policy, approved by the Board of Directors on 6 May 2021, covers the organisation, procedures and resources available to the Group to effectively deal with uncertainty and reasonably and effectively manage the risks to which it is exposed and the opportunities associated with them, thus making risk management an intrinsic part of the organisation's decision-making processes in terms of both the governance and administrative bodies and the management of operations. The policy: (i) identifies different types of risks and CRMS components, (ii) details the basic principles and guidelines and the general framework for action that must be observed in risk management and control, (iii) specifies the bodies in charge of ensuring that the internal control and risk management systems operate properly, together with their roles and responsibilities, and (iv) defines criteria for establishing the level of risk that is considered acceptable.

The Group also has a CRMS Corporate Procedure approved by the Operational Risk Committee (hereinafter, "ORC") on 19 November 2018. This procedure sets the basic guidelines for the identification, assessment, management, response, follow-up and communication of different risks from each organisational area, thus allowing to manage reasonably the risks to which the Group is exposed.

The Group has a Corporate Risk Map, which is set as a key element of the CRMS providing an overall picture of the relevant risks of the Group itself, based on uniform criteria, thus facilitating early identification of any events that could generate them and enabling anticipatory action aimed at preventing or, in the event of occurrence, minimising them. The Corporate Risk Map is updated at least once a year considering the organisation's external and internal context, so that it may respond to the Group's current situation and continue to be a management tool enabling effective and informed decision making.

The latest update took place on 14 December 2023 and was submitted to the Audit Committee for supervision and evaluation. The Corporate Risk Map 2024 was submitted to the Board of Directors for approval at its meeting on 27 February 2024.

Risk management at Gestamp is not just a function or department, but is related to the culture, capabilities and mechanisms for management and value creation integrated in the Group's vision and in all of the organisation's processes and activities. Thus, it should be noted that, in addition to corporate risk management, each of the Group's areas carries out more fragmented risk management through its corresponding managers and forms part of the decision-making process at all levels. The work carried out by these managers is included in the Corporate Risk Map through the involvement of the members of the ORC, which is made up of top-level executives, representatives of the Group's Divisions, Business Units and Corporate Departments.

The commitment of all the parties involved in risk management ensures that it remains applicable and updated, guaranteeing an efficient and adequate use of control mechanisms in order to mitigate the impact of identified risk events should they occur.

E.2 Identify the decision-making bodies of the company responsible for preparing and implementing the financial and non-financial risk management system, including the system for managing tax risks.

The CRMS is a process led by the Company's Board of Directors and Senior Management and is the responsibility of each and every member within the Group. It is designed to provide reasonable assurance when achieving the Group's strategic goals, defending the interests and reputation of the Group, as well as the interests of shareholders, clients and other stakeholders and guaranteeing the business stability and financial strength in a sustainable manner over time.

Although the CRMS is a process that affects and involves all of the Group's personnel, in accordance with the CRMS Policy approved by the Board of Directors, those entrusted with ensuring its smooth running and its functions are the following:

The Board of Directors.

It is responsible for approving the CRMS Policy, as well as establishing the acceptable level of risk, and regularly monitoring internal information and control systems to ensure that they are consistent with the Group's strategy.

It is responsible for periodically supervising, assessing and reviewing the efficacy of internal control and financial and non-financial risk management systems, so that the main risks are adequately identified, managed and reported, receiving support in this supervision task from the Internal Audit and Risk Management Department. In supervising non-financial risks, the Audit Committee also has the support of the Sustainability Committee for those risks related to ESG.

In particular, the Audit Committee fosters a culture in which risk is a factor that is taken into account in all decisions and at all levels within the organisation, supervises the operation of the Risk Committees and the Internal Audit and Risk Management Department, evaluates whether the Group has the proper policies and processes to identify and control its main risks, and makes an annual reassessment of the most significant risks included in the risk map, which will include the identification and understanding of emerging risks and the evaluation of the risk level set.

The Risk Committees.

In addition to other committees set up at the level of the different organisational units to monitor specific risks (such as, among others, those associated with project management, information systems and regulatory compliance, including tax compliance), at corporate level there is the ORC and, at a higher level, the Executive Risk Committee (ERC), made up of top-level executives, representatives of the Group's Divisions, Business Units and Corporate Departments. It is responsible for supporting the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee and the Sustainability Committee in their functions in relation with the control and management of risk. They are responsible for (i) ensuring the proper operation of the CRMS, (ii) identifying, quantifying and managing the most significant risks that have an impact on their respective areas and the Group, (iii) approving the plans and actions required to respond to identified risks, ensuring that they are aligned with the acceptable risk appetite, (v) reviewing the Risk Map, and (vi) defining the risk management strategy as instructed by the Audit Committee.

Specific Risk Officers.

Their key responsibilities involve identifying and monitoring risks under their responsibility area, monitoring the effectiveness of controls, overseeing action plans and collaborating on risks identification, assessment and update.

The Internal Audit and Risk Management Department.

In accordance with the rules governing the department approved by the Audit Committee, this Department is responsible for coordinating the Group's risk management, among other things. In performing such function, the CRMS Policy establishes the following basic responsibilities carried out under the supervision of the Audit Committee:

  • ensure that risk control and management systems are functioning correctly and, specifically, that major risks the Group is exposed to are correctly identified, managed and quantified;
  • actively participate in the preparation of the risk strategy and in key decisions regarding their management;
  • verify that risk control and management systems are mitigating risks effectively in accordance with the CRMS Policy and the risk appetite defined by the organisation;
  • coordination with the Risk Committees and with those responsible for specific risk management for risk measurement processes, controls, action plans and procedures required to mitigate them.

Within the organisational structure, the Internal Audit and Risk Management Department reports in a direct manner to the Audit Committee, which guarantees due autonomy and independence in its functions and in the responsible supervision of the risk control and management system.

E.3 State the main financial and non-financial risks, including tax risks and –if material– those arising from corruption (the latter being understood under the scope of Royal Decree Law 18/2017), which may affect the achievement of the business objectives.

The Group defines risk as any potential internal or external event that may negatively affect the achievement of the objectives regarding the various Group processes and, therefore, the materialisation of its strategic objectives, its methods or its reputation. Given the nature of the sector and the geographical areas in which operates, the Group is exposed to various risks that could impede the attainment of its objectives and the successful execution of its strategies.

The process of identifying and assessing the risks affecting the Group mainly took into account the following risk factors, for which the Group has put in place monitoring and response plans and measures:

  • Operational Risks. Those related with potential losses or a reduction in activity due to inadequacies or failures in operations, systems, resources or processes:
    • o Ability to adapt to drops in production volumes and vehicle sales forecasts: production flexibility and absorption of associated costs.
    • o Volatility and stress regarding the supply of raw materials and energy.
    • o Deviations in the profitability of projects, both in the launch and in the subsequent production phase.
    • o Incidents related to the quality of our products, with potential cost, liability and reputational repercussions.
    • o Inability to pass on to the customer the increased production costs associated with volatility in the supply chain.
    • o Be a cause of disruption of the supply chain of our customers due to various internal or external factors including:
      • supply problems concerning our suppliers, both in relation to quality and term,
      • prolonged breakdown of machinery, tools or plants,
      • other factors that occur without warning (such as meteorological disasters, earthquakes, floods, pandemics, etc.).
    • o Security of computer applications and systems and cyber-attacks.
  • Strategic Risks. Those that may arise as a consequence of choosing a specific strategy, as well as those of an external or internal nature that may significantly affect the attainment of objectives, the reputation and/or vision of the Group in the long term.

Included within this category of risks are those that originate from changes in the competitive environment of the Group and in the positioning of the products offered by Gestamp, in the situation of the country (political, economic and social), as well as all those related to Corporate Governance and business ethics. These include:

  • o Political and economic instability in the different countries where the Group operates.
  • o Dependence of turnover on macroeconomic factors or market trends such as the level of economic activity, level of consumer credit, etc.
  • o Sustainability, environmental, social and governance risks:

Proper strategy and achievement of ESG targets according to sectorspecific and international standards, and to the requirements of customers and other stakeholders. Commitment to the goals of reducing and eradicating climate change and to social progress goals.

  • o Use of the best technology options and adaptation to new technology and processes at new production plants and in the adaptation of existing ones.
  • o Difficulty in developing and attracting talent in line with future needs in an environment of technological change and global growth.
  • o Group progress towards data-driven management through the 4.0 industry and the digitalisation of business processes.
  • Reputational risks. These are risks related to potential damage to the Company's image or the loss of brand value with an impact on the perception held by relevant stakeholders or society.
  • Compliance Risks. Those related with the strict observance of legislation and regulations (external and internal), including tax-related, that affects the Group in the different markets and geographical areas in which it operates.

They include, among others, the risks associated with the criminal liability of legal entities, the impact of corruption in the different countries where the Group operates and unethical or irregular conduct. This category also includes risks arising from potential legislative and regulatory changes and the Group's capacity to anticipate and react to them.

  • Financial Risks. These include financial market risks, as well as contingent liabilities and other off-balance risks. Also included are those risks related to accuracy and reliability in preparing, obtaining and presenting financial information both internally and externally. Other significant risks to which the Group is exposed in this regard are fluctuations in:
    • o exchange rates arising from the performance of our activity in an international context,
    • o interest rates, and
    • o the price of raw materials.
  • E.4 Identify whether the entity has a risk tolerance level, including one for tax risk.

The Group, in delivering its vision "to be the automotive supplier most renowned for its ability to adapt business in order to create value for the client, while maintaining sustainable economic and social development" assumes a prudent level of risk, seeking the right balance between value creation in a recurring and continuous manner, to optimise opportunities and keep acceptable levels of risk.

In this regard, the level of risk tolerance, including tax risks, is defined at corporate level in the CRMS Policy, approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and sets out that all risks that jeopardise compliance with the Group's strategies and objectives are to be kept at an acceptable low risk level.

To update the Corporate Risk Map in 2023, the members of the ORC and ERC became involved. The main objectives of this updating process were to identify possible emerging risks and to assess all of the risks in terms of impact, probability of occurrence and effectiveness of the controls established, in accordance, with the assessment scales approved on an annual basis in order to adapt to the strategy and changes in our business environment and which will continue to be reviewed at least once a year for the same purpose. These assessment scales cover the different aspects of risk impact (financial, strategic, operational, regulatory framework and reputation) and represent uniform levels that allow for a standardised risk assessment. These scales reflect the Group's limited level of risk tolerance.

E.5 State what financial and non-financial risks, including tax risks, have materialised during the financial year.

In relation to purchases, since 2021, the supply chain for raw materials and energy has experienced volatility and tension as a result of global supply difficulties and war. In this sense, the Group designed a long-term energy purchase strategy at the different locations to ensure a stable power and gas supply in terms of volume and price and to manage to receive electric power from renewable sources.

With regard to raw materials, most of the steel is purchased under "re-sale" agreements with customers, meaning that the automobile manufacturers regularly negotiate with the steel industry to reach the price at which the Group purchases the steel that is then used in the production of their automotive components. For all other raw material supplies, Gestamp negotiates purchase prices with steel companies once the agreements between these companies and the main automobile manufacturers are known, so that the agreements reached by Gestamp are at least equal to those reached between those other parties.

E.6 Explain the response and oversight plans for the entity's main risks, including tax risks, as well as the procedures followed by the company to ensure that the board of directors responds to any new challenges that arise.

The Group has defined an CRMS that entails organisation, procedures and resources, making it possible to identify, measure, assess, prioritise, and respond to risks to which the Group is exposed. In this regard, two risk mitigation and response levels can be determined: global elements or activities that are part of the corporate risk management policy and other individual ones for each specific risk.

In general, the CRMS, along with the risk control and management policies and systems that develop it, allow for quick and effective action to be taken on risks and for the establishment, where necessary, of suitable action plans.

The overall management actions and elements include the Group's Code of Conduct, the work done by the Ethics Committee (which reports to the Board of Directors, ensuring compliance with the Code of Conduct), the Whistleblowing Hotline, and other mechanisms roughly outlined in the CRMS Policy.

Diverse initiatives have been developed with a view to enhancing and streamlining the quality of operational data in order to improve the ability to respond to the Group's challenges and the needs of our customers and other stakeholders.

In terms of individual risk, the Group has response, management and oversight plans in place that match the characteristics of each specific risk. These plans are implemented at operational level and are constantly running on a daily basis. They are integrated into the systems and processes, thus ensuring that the operational activities performed are consistent with the Group's targets and objectives.

In this sense, the Group currently has various organisational units or departments that analyse, continuously monitor and provide a response in various areas specialised in risk management, including: Internal Audit, Human Resources, Regulatory Compliance, Insurance, Sustainability, Quality, Operations Control, Corporate Security, Information Systems, Occupational Hazards Prevention, Project Management, Communication, Commercial, Financial Management, and Development of Advanced Equipment. These units and departments form part of the Group's CRMS and are represented on the Risk Committees.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO THE PROCESS OF ISSUING FINANCIAL REPORTS (ICFRS) F

Describe the mechanisms making up the risk control and management systems with respect to the process of issuing the entity's financial information (ICFRS).

F.1 Control environment at the entity

Indicate at least the following, specifying the main features thereof:

F.1.1. What bodies and/or functions are responsible for: (i) the existence and maintenance of an adequate and effective internal control over financial reporting system (ICFRS); (ii) the implementation thereof; and (iii) oversight thereof.

The Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for the existence and maintenance of an adequate and effective Internal Control over Financial Reporting System (hereinafter "ICFRS"). For these purposes, Article 8, section 3(a), of the Company's Regulations of the Board of Directors establish as one of the non-delegable competences of this governing body the approval of the risk control and management policy, including tax risks, as well as the regular monitoring of the internal reporting and control systems.

The Group has developed an ICFRS Policy, approved by the Board of Directors on 3 March 2017 and updated on 5 May 2021, in which the managerial responsibilities, instructions and the general outline of each ICFRS component are assigned (control environment, risk assessment, control activities, reporting and communication and oversight). This policy sets forth that the Board of Directors is responsible for the existence of a proper and effective ICFRS, a task that is performed through the Audit Committee, and Senior Management is in charge of designing, implementing and operating the ICFRS. These bodies rely on each other to perform these tasks, coordinated by the Secretary of the Board of Directors.

Within the scope of these functions, the ICFRS Function fosters control awareness by promoting control requirement awareness at all organisational levels, all through ongoing monitoring and support in its work of the definition and maintenance of the documentation associated with the ICFRS, validating the design and effectiveness of the controls, and the implementation of the identified action plans.

The oversight of the ICFRS is the responsibility of the Audit Committee. In this sense, Article 40, section 6.b), of the Regulations of the Board of Directors sets forth that the Audit Committee has, among others, the responsibility to supervise and evaluate the preparation, integrity and presentation of financial and non-financial information and of the financial and non-financial risk management and control systems relating to the Company and, where applicable, to the Group (including operational, technological, legal, social, environmental, political and reputational risks or those relating to corruption), reviewing compliance with statutory requirements and the correct application of accounting principles, as well as to review internal risk management and control systems, including tax risks, from time to time. To this end, the Audit Committee relies on the Internal Audit Department, which has rules regulating the task of overseeing the effective functioning of the internal control system.

  • F.1.2 Whether any of the following are in place, particularly as regards the financial information preparation process:
    • Departments and/or mechanisms in charge of: (i) the design and review of the organisational structure; (ii) clearly defining the lines of responsibility and authority, with an appropriate distribution of work and duties; and (iii) ensuring that there are sufficient procedures for the proper dissemination thereof at the entity.

The Group's Human Resources Department, the Organisation Department and the Board of Directors through its Executive Chairperson, are in charge of defining and modifying the organisational structure of the Group at a high level, with oversight by the Nomination and Compensation Committee. In addition, the different organisational units have the autonomy to develop and propose changes in their respective organisational structures using the criteria established by the abovementioned bodies. Any proposal for organisational change is communicated to the Group's Human Resources and Organisation Departments for validation and is registered in the Corporate Human Resources System, in its organisational management module. All Group employees can access their organisational structure, i.e. their position within the organisation and their team, through the Gestamp OneTeam tool.

For each role defined, the Human Resources and Organisation Departments have descriptions of high-level roles called "jobs" which include the managers involved in the process of drawing up the financial reports. In addition, for Group companies that are production centres where there are quality certifications, the specific jobs are described in accordance with the tasks carried out by the different people in the team at each plant. The ICFRS documentation includes a risk and control matrix where, individually for each control, both the responsible organisational structures and the owners of each of the controls have been identified in relation the financial reporting process. All this information is updated in a Corporate Governance tool called Gescompliance, developed internally in 2019 (i) to support and speed up update, design assessment and control efficacy activities, and (ii) for each ICFRS control owner or controller to be aware of its periodic tasks and functions regarding ICFRS.

Code of conduct, body that approves it, degree of dissemination and instruction, principles and values included (indicating whether the recording of transactions and the preparation of financial information are specifically mentioned), body in charge of reviewing breaches and of proposing corrective actions and penalties.

Since 2011, the Group has had a Code of Conduct which sets out the standards of ethical conduct that the Group requires from all of its employees, which is available on the Company's website.

In 2018 the Board of Directors approved the last update of the Code of Conduct to date.

In 2018, replicating the action for the initial launch in 2011, the Group implemented a dissemination plan in relation to the new Code of Conduct among employees in all jurisdictions, who were also asked to confirm receipt and read it. In addition, as part of the plan to welcome new Group employees, a copy of the Code of Conduct is provided and their adhesion is requested.

Regarding training, all Group employees and members of the Board of Directors must have carried out, at least once, the introduction course on the Code of Conduct, which may be taken in one of the following ways:

  • Online training. When a new employee joins the Group, they automatically receive a notification to their email address inviting them to take the training on the Code of Conduct (available in all of the Group's languages), also receiving a copy of the Code of Conduct in electronic format. Moreover, this training course is permanently available and, therefore, it can be seen if any questions arise after the initial training.
  • Face-to-face training. For cases where the employee does not have access to a device that allows them to carry out training online. The same documentation as that available in the online training programme is included in the induction plan for people who carry out this type of training.

In either of the two cases, the Group requests acknowledgement from the employee or member of the Board of Directors that they have carried out the training on the Code of Conduct; with regards to face-to-face training, this documentation will consist of physical acknowledgement of receipt signed by the employee and which is filed away by the plants; and with regards to online training, the system itself requests confirmation from the user that they have carried out the course on the Code of Conduct.

In addition, during 2023, all Group employees received training on Equality and on the Sexual Harassment Prevention Protocol.

In relation to the financial information, there is a section in the Code on "Integrity towards our shareholders and business partners", which establishes that acting responsibly and with transparency goes hand in hand with protecting value. All employees create value for the shareholders when they put the company's interests first, when they ensure that business records are accurate and when they properly protect the company's resources, its information and assets. More specifically, this section includes a rule corresponding to "Information management", which explicitly indicates that the honest, accurate and objective collection and presentation of information, whether financial or of any other kind, is essential for the Group. Therefore, an employee of the Group:

  • Must not falsify any kind of information, whether financial or any other kind.
  • Must not deliberately enter any false or misleading data into any report, record, file or expenses claims.
  • Must not accept contractual obligations on behalf of the Company if exceeding the authority granted to them.
  • Must fully cooperate with auditors, ensuring the accuracy of the information provided.

The Ethics Committee is the body responsible for analysing non-compliances of the Code of Conduct, studying complaints and proposing remedial actions and sanctions. Its duties and governance are set out in the Regulations of the Ethics Committee. Members of senior management and an external advisor make up the Committee. It reports directly to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.

Whistleblowing channel that makes it possible to report any irregularities of a financial or accounting nature to the audit committee, as well as any possible breach of the code of conduct and irregular activities at the organisation, specifying, if appropriate, whether it is confidential and, if possible, allowing to make

anonymous communications, respecting the rights of those reporting or being reported.

The Group has a complaints channel for the receipt of notifications and/or complaints regarding irregular conduct or activities arising from any breach of the principles and ethical rules of the Code of Conduct of a financial and accounting nature and any other irregular activities that may occur within the Group. This channel has the following channels of communication in which the confidentiality of the process and the rights of the persons reporting in good faith and of the persons reported are guaranteed.

  • Compliance Office mailbox. Corporate email address managed directly by the Compliance Office.
  • SpeakUp line. Whistleblowing hotline managed by an external company. Such communication may take place via telephone, web form or email. It is available at all times in all the languages of the Group. Communications are managed through the Compliance Office.
  • Human Resources Managers (Delegates). There is the possibility of reporting through the Delegates, who report the submitted complaints to the Compliance Office.

Both the Compliance Office mailbox and the SpeakUp line are available at the Group's intranet and website. All complaints are assessed by the Compliance Office, which reports directly to the Ethics Committee, gathering the information deemed necessary to determine the advisability of an investigation process. If the information and indications obtained suggest the possible existence of an irregularity, regardless of whether they have been received through the Complaints Channel or by any other means, the matter is investigated and, where appropriate, the necessary measures are adopted.

In 2023, for the purposes of verifying if the channels of communication complied with Law 2/2023, on whistleblower protection, which enacts Directive (EU) 2019/1937 in Spanish Law, a Gap Analysis was conducted in collaboration with an external consultant.

Said Law establishes a series of minimum requirements that must be met by the various internal reporting channels through which individuals can report, within a work setting, any violations of EU Law.

Based on the results of the analysis performed by the external consultant, an action plan was drawn up and completed before the end of the year.

The plan included the following actions:

  • Approval by the Board of Directors of the Corporate Internal Reporting System Policy following a proposal by the Audit Committee [and the Ethics Committee].
  • Approval of the Internal Reporting System Management Procedure by the Ethics Committee.

Both documentsreplace the regulation on the whistle-blowing channels available within the Group that was contained to date in the Ethics Committee Regulations, and are available on Gestamp's intranet and website. The main updates are:

  • Deadlines are established for receipt, acknowledgement of receipt of communications and investigation pursuant to Law 2/2023.
  • The rights of the whistleblower and the accused are regulated in further detail.
  • The option of filing anonymous complaints is formally defined (it was already

possible to make complaints like this de facto).

The Group formalised its commitment to collaborate and cooperate with the authorities and judicial and administrative bodies in relation to the investigation of alleged criminal acts that may be committed within the Group.

The Audit Committee receives a periodic report on the complaints made through the Reporting Channel, the investigations carried out and, where appropriate, the measures adopted.

In 2023, 129 communications were received through the diverse available channels: 6 reports were received through the Delegates, 46 directly through the Compliance Office mailbox and 77 through the Speak Up Line.

Of the 129 communications received, 3 were questions about the contents of the Code of Conduct, which were solved, and the remaining 126 were reports related to possible breaches of the Code of Conduct. Of these latter, 12 reports were dismissed because the reported events were not deemed to represent breaches of the Code of Conduct or irregularities. None of the reports submitted are related to the reliability of financial information and, therefore, it was not necessary to carry out any investigation or take corrective measures in this area.

Regular training and update programmes for personnel involved in the preparation and review of financial information, as well as in the evaluation of the ICFRS, covering at least accounting standards, auditing, internal control, and risk management.

Gestamp has a global training and development policy in place that ensures a robust and effective process for comprehensively acquiring and transferring knowledge and responds to current and future business needs. Training is an essential element for the adaptation of new professionals to Gestamp and the correct performance of their jobs, as well as to keep the Group's employees up to date in terms of the changes that may occur both in the Group itself and in the environment and sphere where it carries out its activities.

As proof of its commitment to training, and in particular regarding economic and financial matters, in 2023, Gestamp provided the following hours of training:

  • Through its virtual campus, Gestamp Global Learning, a total of 769.5 hours of training in economic and financial matters were given to 142 participants.
  • On the other hand, a total of 4,601 hours have been taught by the plants in economic and financial matters.

As part of the training offer, there are technical training actions aimed at the business, as well as specific training and refresher programmes on regulatory developments regarding the preparation and oversight of financial reporting, and also regarding the ICFRS.

Every year the Training & Development corporate department prepares a training plan in cooperation with each area, which includes the different training actions aimed at members of the Group's Financial Management area, as well as the teams and those in charge of the financial areas in each country and Group organisation unit.

The contents of the training sessions for the Group's personnel involved in processes related to the preparation of financial information throughout financial year 2023 focused primarily on finance, analysis of financial statements, budget flows and the GesCompliance internal control tool, as well as our criminal risk prevention model.

Furthermore, a financial training module was included in the Future Plant Director Development Programme taught by the Hult business school to develop a strong understanding of Gestamp's financial targets and metrics and the actions that can be taken to influence them.

In addition, Annual Training Plan for members of the Board of Directors included training on the criminal risk prevention model via Gestamp Global Learning.

Finally, the staff involved in the evaluation of the ICFRS is kept up to date on new developments in Risk Management and Internal Control, especially of financial information, on training on the use of the GesCompliance tool and the importance of the ICFRS for the Group, and evaluations of the effectiveness and design of its controls are carried out. In relation to this training, the ICFRS function has additionally provided around 150 hours of training to more than 393 users of the tool.

F.2 Risk assessment of financial information

Indicate at least the following:

  • F.2.1. What are the main features of the risk identification process, including the process of identifying the risks of error or fraud, with regards to:
    • Whether the process exists and is documented.

The Group bases its process to identify error or fraud risks in financial information on the COSO framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations for the Commission of the Treadway Commission), implementing practices aimed at designing and maintaining an internal control system that provides reasonable assurance with regard to the reliability of the regulated financial information.

As referred to in section F.1.1, the Group has an ICFRS Policy that comprises, among other matters, the ICFRS description, objectives, roles and responsibilities, the methodology for implementing the system for internal control over financial reporting and also the process to identify error or fraud risks in financial reporting. Based on this methodology, the scope matrix of the ICFRS was defined.

The scope matrix for the ICFRS, which is updated on an annual basis, after the consolidated financial statements have been prepared, aims to identify the accounts and disclosures that have significant associated risks and which could have a potential material impact on financial reporting. It also establishes the processes to review regarding its design and effectiveness in each country where the Group operates.

During the 2023 financial year, the Group has updated the identification of financial reporting risks by analysing the information contained in the Group's audited consolidated annual accounts as of 31 December 2022, selecting the most relevant financial statements and significant disclosures based on quantitative (materiality) and qualitative criteria (assessment of the level of risk of each process, external auditor's opinion, strength of the systems, seniority of the company in the Group, etc.). The 2023 ICFRS scope matrix was approved by the Audit Committee on 9 May 2023.

Whether the process covers all the objectives of financial reporting (existence and occurrence; integrity; assessment; presentation, breakdown and comparability, and rights and obligations), whether it is updated, and how often.

For each of the significant accounts and breakdowns, the critical processes and subprocesses associated with them are defined, and the risks that could generate errors and/or fraud in the financial information are identified, covering all financial reporting objectives (existence and occurrence; completeness; valuation; presentation and disclosure; and rights and obligations).

The existence of a process for the identification of the scope of consolidation, taking into account, among other matters, the possible existence of complex corporate structures, holding entities, or special purpose entities.

With regard to the scope of consolidation, the Executive Chairperson, the Group's Legal Director, the Tax Consultancy Director and the Financial Management hold meetings as the Finance and Tax Committee, where they address issues relating to, among others, the impact of purchases or disposals made by companies in which the Company has direct or indirect interests, as well as the changes in those interests. Similarly, the Committee identifies the need to undertake specific corporate operations, such as incorporations, mergers, divisions or the winding-up of companies that form part of the Group.

The conclusions approved by the Finance and Tax Committee in the area of company acquisitions and disposals or the performance of company operations are initially compiled by the Group's Legal Department, which is in charge of drawing up the legal documentation required. In addition, Gestamp Group's Legal Department validates, registers and, in the case of physical securities, has the custody of the securities representing interests in the share capital of the companies in which Gestamp Group has an interest and, in particular, in which the consolidation scope is determined. Additionally, the Legal Department informs the Consolidation Team of any company acquisition or disposal, as well as any interest in them, and any corporate operation that may affect the scope of consolidation. This is done at least on the date on which such operation becomes effective.

Based on the information received by the Finance and Tax Committee and by the Legal Department, the Department Responsible for Consolidation in the Group's Economic-Finance Department updates the scope of consolidation on the consolidation application used by the company. Furthermore, on a quarterly basis, this information is compared with that contained in the consolidation reporting package that each Group company sends to carry out the quarterly consolidation.

The process takes into account the effects of other types of risks (operational, technological, financial, legal, tax, reputational, environmental, etc.) to the extent that they affect the financial statements.

As mentioned in section E.1., the Group has a CRMS Policy that is aimed at establishing the basic principles, guidelines and the general framework for action to ensure that the risks that may affect the implementation of the Group's strategies and goals are identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled systematically, with homogeneous criteria and within the risk levels accepted by the Group itself.

The CRMS Policy is inspired in the following reference frameworks:

  • The COSO ERM model, risk management reference framework generally accepted in the market.
  • The good practices mentioned in the Good Governance Code of listed companies and the CNMV Technical Guide 3/2017 on Audit Committees of Public Interest

Entities.

This Policy, containing five financial and non-financial risk categories (strategic, operational, reporting, compliance and financial), is applicable to all Group companies. Reporting risks include those related to the reliability in the preparation, collection and presentation of financial and non-financial information, both internal as well as external, relevant to the Group.

These risks relate to all the Group's activities, processes, projects and lines of business in all geographical areas where it conducts business, including, among others, operational, technological, financial, legal, tax, environmental, social, political and reputational risks, as well as those related to corruption, also including contingent liabilities and other off-balance sheet risks as part of financial risks.

Following the update of the Risk Map, which is analysed every year, it is verified that the risks that could have an impact on the financial information drafting processes or on the reliability of it are provided for in the ICFRS model. This is done to analyse the need to include additional processes or controls in said model and/or in the matrix scope for the following financial year.

What governance body of the entity supervises the process.

Responsibility for the oversight of the ICFRS effectiveness and the CRMS lie with the Audit Committee through the Internal Audit Management, as established in Article 40 of the Regulations of the Company's Board of Directors.

As indicated in previous sections, the Audit Committee approved the ICFRS scope matrix on 09 May 2023 as a means of supervising this risk assessment process and determining that the process of identifying, assessing and monitoring the Group's risks and, in particular, the measures aimed at identifying material risks in relation to financial reporting, is appropriate and sufficient.

F.3 Control activities

Indicate whether at least the following are in place and describe their main features:

F.3.1. Procedures for review and authorisation of financial information, and description of the ICFRS to be published in the securities market, indicating the persons or divisions responsible therefor, as well as documentation describing the flows of activities and controls (including those relating to risk of fraud) of the various types of transactions that could materially affect the financial statements, including the closing process and the specific review of significant judgements, estimates, assessments, and projections.

The Group performs regular reviews of the financial reports drawn up and also of the description of the ICFRS in accordance with different levels of responsibility, which aim at ensuring the quality of the information.

The Group's Economic-Finance Department draws up consolidated financial statements on a quarterly basis (consolidated accounts and interim financial statements) and submits them for review by the Executive Chairperson, who then proceeds to approve them. The quarterly authorisation and review procedures, as well as the annual preparation, ends up with the submission to the Audit Committee by the Financial Management and, ultimately, the approval by the Board of Directors.

In 2023, pursuant to the ICFRS scope matrix, the ICFRS Function continued to

update and define the risk and control matrix, which includes the business processes identified as key and material in preparing financial information in all the countries in which the Group operates, to design and implement the control matrix at the plants included in the scope matrix, and to perform the annual assessment of controls. The controls that mitigate the error or fraud risks regarding financial reporting and which affect these processes are identified in said matrix. Specifically, the key processes of the Group for which there are defined ICFRS risk and control matrices are the following:

  • Fixed assets.
  • Accounting Closing, Report, Taxes and Contingent Liabilities.
  • Consolidation and reporting to the CNMV.
  • Controls at the entity level.
  • Issuance and invoicing.
  • Purchasing Flow.
  • Inventory.
  • Human Resources.
  • Waste and scrap.
  • Treasury.

These processes/subprocesses cover the different types of transactions which may materially affect the financial statements (purchases, sales, staff costs, stock, fixed assets, collection and payment management, etc.), specifically including the accounting closing, reporting and consolidation processes, as well as all of those that are affected by significant judgements, estimates, assessments, and projections.

The documentation in each of the processes comprises:

  • Descriptions of each subprocess associated with each process.
  • Breakdown of the information systems that impact the subprocesses.
  • Breakdown of the organisational structures.
  • Description of the significant risks involved in financial reporting (including those relating to the risk of fraud) and also others (operational and/or regarding compliance) associated with the different subprocesses and control objectives.
  • Detailed description of the key and non-key controls that mitigate each of the risks identified.
  • Results of the internal control design evaluation conducted by the ICFRS Function, identifying the best opportunities and establishing the action plans, persons responsible and the corresponding implementation deadline.

For each control, the following have been identified:

  • Organisational structures and/or functions of positions in charge of each key and non-key controls identified, as well as identifying other departments affected, where appropriate.
  • Owner in charge of each control.
  • Frequency of the controls.
  • Level of automation of the controls.
  • Type of control: preventive or detective.
  • Risks to mitigate.
  • Association regarding the objectives of the financial information and the prevention/detection of fraud.
  • Information systems involved in the control.
  • Supporting evidence regarding the controls.

The Group launched an ongoing process for updating the internal control system which guarantees the quality and reliability of financial information, not merely limiting itself to yearly or half-yearly financial reports. The coordination of updating the processes and activities falls to the Group's Internal Audit Department with the support of all levels of the Group: Plants, Divisions and Corporate Directions.

For that purpose, among other measures, as mentioned in section F.1.2, in 2019, the Group implemented in all Group plants and countries where risk and control matrixes had already been defined a specific tool developed internally, Gescompliance, which allows making a continuous process for the update, assessment and oversight of the correct ICFRS operation, ensuring its reasonable reliability under a single centralised environment. This tool contributes to strengthening the internal control at all levels of the organisation, facilitating the effectiveness evaluation process and the control designs, as well as monitoring the action plans.

Thus, during 2023, the process of evaluation of key controls by owners and supervisors of key controls has been carried out in all companies and countries included in the 2023 ICFRS scope matrix. Prior to the evaluation of the controls, training is provided to the users of the tool, owners of the controls and those involved in the evaluation of ICFRS controls, in order to ensure the correct implementation of the controls and their proper recording in the tool.

With regard to the relevant judgements, estimates and forecasts, the assumptions and calculations are made by the Group's Economic and Financial Department and the local Economic and Financial and Divisional Controlling Departments. To do so, they use information, such as the budgets for the coming financial years and the strategic plans, which the different Group companies report through a shared platform that is managed by the Group's Controlling Department. In certain cases (such as the valuations of fixed assets and actuarial study calculations), the information provided by specialists external to the Group is also used. The most significant judgements, estimates and projections are validated prior to the process for approval of the consolidated financial statements.

F.3.2. Policies and procedures of internal control over reporting systems (including, among others, security of access, control of changes, operation thereof, operational continuity, and segregation of duties) that provide support for the significant processes of the entity in connection with the preparation and publication of financial information.

The Group has internal control policies and procedures on the information systems supporting the relevant processes, including the preparation and review process for financial reporting.

In the process to identify technological risks that may affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of financial information, the Group identifies what systems and applications are relevant in each of the areas or processes considered significant. The systems and applications identified include both those that are directly used to prepare the financial information and those that are relevant for the effectiveness of the controls that mitigate the risk of errors arising therein.

Taking into account this information, the Plan of Business Continuity of Information Systems is reviewed on a yearly basis. This plan establishes action plans for mitigating the risks arising from information system dependency that could affect the achievement of business objectives.

Generally speaking, the following controls exist to provide the Group with reasonable assurance concerning the internal control of reporting systems:

  • The Group has the Gestamp Group General Information Security Policy approved by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2023, whose objective is to provide a regulatory framework applicable to the Group, for the implementation of security measures that guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its own and third-party information available to Gestamp.
  • The Group has a road map of the most relevant applications, including those with the objective of processing financial information.
  • Only authorised staff have access to the reporting systems using robust authentication mechanisms. In addition, access to information is limited according to the roles assigned to each user. In relation to this, system accessibility is determined by identity management. A feature is currently being rolled out which, by means of an automatic approval flow, enables managers of each system to receive access requests and, in turn, review and approve them.
  • The actions performed by users are registered and monitored by people authorised in accordance with operating procedures.
  • Periodic review processes are performed on users with access to data, as well as a review of privileged users.
  • There are alternative communication systems that guarantee the continuity of operations.
  • Backups of the information are carried out regularly, which are stored in safe locations, and trial restorations thereof are carried out.
  • The incident management system is aimed at resolving any type of problem that may arise in the business processes.
  • There is a software development methodology and different environments with the aim of ensuring that any changes in the information systems are appropriately authorised and tested.
  • Critical business processes have different organisational and technological solutions which ensure the continuity of the information systems. Every year, the financial system recovery plan is tested, identifying the improvement aspects that are included in the plan updates.
  • Finally, code audits are carried out to ensure the performance and correct operation of the systems.

The controls on the information technology implemented in the area of financial systems are validates every year in order to ensure their effectiveness. Any incidents identified are evaluated and the appropriate measures adopted to correct them in the time and manner established.

F.3.3. Internal control policies and procedures designed to supervise the management of activities outsourced to third parties, as well as those aspects of assessment, calculation, or valuation entrusted to independent experts, which may materially affect the accounts.

The Group does not usually have activities outsourced to third parties which may materially affect the financial statements. In any case, when the Group outsources certain work to third parties, it ensures the subcontracted company has the technical skills required, independence, competence and solvency.

In financial year 2023, the only relevant activity outsourced to third parties with an impact on the financial statements was the use of independent experts for support in the valuation of fixed assets and actuarial calculations, although they did not have a material effect on the financial information. This activity was performed by a prestigious firm that was validated as having the necessary competences by personnel in the Group and supervised by Management, which verified the key assumptions used by the external party, along with the reasonableness of the conclusions.

F.4 Information and communication

Indicate whether at least the following are in place and describe their main features:

F.4.1. A specific function charged with defining and updating accounting policies (accounting policy area or department) and with resolving questions or conflicts arising from the interpretation thereof, maintaining fluid communications with those responsible for operations at the organisation, as well as an updated accounting policy manual that has been communicated to the units through which the entity operates.

Within the Group's Economic-Finance Department, there is Department Responsible for Consolidation (hereinafter, "Consolidation Team"). The functions assigned to said team, specifically established in the Group's Criteria and Accounting Policies Manual, include a team update, which must be undertaken at least once per year.

This Manual includes the main policies applicable to the Group's operations, as well as the criteria that are to be followed by those in charge of recording the financial information, examples of its application and the chart of accounts for consolidation. The last update was in November 2023.

In addition, there is another department in the Economic-Finance Department that is responsible for the design and definition of the financial processes to be applied in companies using the Corporate ERP. This Function is in charge of reflecting the accounting policies established in the Group's Criteria and Accounting Policies Manual in this system.

If those in charge of recording the Group's financial information have any queries about how to proceed with regard to daily transaction accounting, the responsibility for resolving queries in relation to these processes lies with the Department Responsible for the Design and Definition of Financial Processes, whereas any queries regarding accounting policies are resolved by the Consolidation Team, as stated in the Manual. This centralisation of query resolution allows for increased standardisation of criteria.

The information required to update the Criteria and Accounting Policies Manual is received by the Consolidation Team through different channels: communications from the ICAC (the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute) (for modifications to the Spanish National Chart of Accounts, the IFRS or the IAS), by reviewing information alerts sent by the external auditor, tax updates it receives from the tax advisor or through participation in training sessions given by prestigious

companies.

In order to keep all persons in charge of recording financial information throughout the Group informed of any possible modifications that arise in the Accounting Criteria and Policies Manual, the Consolidation Team informs them regularly about any new standards that should be applied and sends such Manual on an annual basis along with the closing consolidation reporting package.

F.4.2. Mechanisms to capture and prepare financial information with standardised formats, to be applied and used by all units of the entity or the group, supporting the principal accounts and the notes thereto, as well as the information provided on the internal control over financial reporting system.

All Group companies report the financial information in a consolidation reporting package with a standardised format established by the Consolidation Team. This package includes the information structure required to then proceed to add it.

The Consolidation Team has a master in which each account in the local consolidation chart of accounts is associated with the corporate ERP accounts. This association is customised in the Group's consolidation application by the Function charged with the Design and Definition of Financial Processes within the Group's Economic-Finance Department.

Once the Consolidation Team has received the information from the different companies, it verifies that it coincides with the chart of accounts established for the Group and with the Group's Criteria and Accounting Policies Manual and proceeds to upload this information onto the Group's consolidation application.

Regarding the information in the disclosures in the report, in order to draw up the consolidated Financial Statements, the Consolidation Team uses the information reported by the different companies in the reporting packages as a source. Based on this data and the information from the whole Group, it consolidates and draws up the consolidated interim and annual accounts (financial statements and notes) and creates the notes to the financial statements. The Consolidation Team ensures that the information in the consolidation application matches the detailed information extracted to draw up the disclosures, and also that the information in the detail of the notes matches the detailed information extracted to draw up the notes.

Finally, the capture and preparation of the information provided regarding the ICFRS is centralised in the ICFRS Function in coordination with the departments involved. This description is formally validated by these Departments. This process concludes with the approval of the Annual Corporate Governance Report as a whole by the Board of Governors.

F.5 Supervision of the operation of the system

Indicate and describe the main features of at least the following:

F.5.1. The activities of overseeing the internal control over financial reporting system (ICFRS) performed by the audit committee, and also whether or not the entity has an internal audit function whose duties include providing support to the committee in its task of overseeing the internal control system, including the ICFRS. Information is also to be provided concerning the scope of the assessment of the ICFRS performed during the financial year and on the procedure whereby the person or division charged with performing the assessment reports the results thereof, whether the entity has an action plan in place describing possible corrective measures, and whether the impact thereof on financial information has been considered.

As indicated in section F.1.1, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing and periodically reviewing the internal control systems and overseeing and assessing the financial and non-financial reporting process, with the support of the Internal Audit Department, which reports directly to the Audit Committee and also reports to the Secretary of the Board.

Some of the duties of the Internal Audit Management are supporting the Audit Committee in overseeing the correct functioning of the ICFRS, reporting the conclusions obtained from its reviews through the regular appearances of the Internal Audit Department at Audit Committee meetings during the financial year. Those conclusions include potential impact and limitations to the scope that may arise while performing the audits, detected weaknesses, recommendations and action plans defined and agreed with the different areas, so as to resolve them, as well as following-up their implementation to ensure that weaknesses have been resolved. At the end of each year, the Internal Audit Management provides the Audit Committee with a report on the activities performed during the year.

The Internal Audit Management is in charge of preparing on an annual basis and executing the Internal Audit Plan. This plan is presented for approval by the Audit Committee, which ensures that the Internal Audit activity focuses mainly on significant risks, as regulated by Article 40 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors. Thus, the 2023 Internal Audit Plan was approved on 21 February 2023 by the Audit Committee.

On 9 May 2023, the Audit Committee approved the ICFRS scope matrix defined by the ICFRS Function, as indicated in section F.2.1., and supervised the progress of tasks performed in relation to ICFRS (including documentation updates, evaluations on the efficacy and design of key controls and implementation of the identified action plans) through reports submitted by the Internal Audit Department at meetings held on 21 February, 9 May, 21 July, 7 November and 14 December 2023.

In 2023, pursuant to the Audit Plan and the ICFRS scope matrix, overall audits were performed on key processes deemed a priority in relation to the reliability of financial information, bearing in mind the existing risks, as well as specific operations, strategic and compliance audits, including the following activities:

  • Internal audits of processes (including financial processes) across a range of areas and at the plants included in the scope matrix.
  • Investigation and preventive reviews of specific controls regarding fraud.
  • Reviews of cybersecurity and other information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) processes.
  • Continuous Auditing: Definition and periodic review of alerts designed specifically based on the Group's figures.

Auditing of key processes related to strategic transformation initiatives.

The scope of these audits includes the geographic regions where the Group operates: Europe, North America, Asia and Latin America.

In the audits, action plans aimed at strengthening the internal control system were established. The results of the audits have been periodically reported to the Audit Committee.

As such, the Audit Committee, in accordance with its duties, includes in its activity report the tasks it has undertaken under its role of overseeing the Internal Control System during 2023. Among other aspects, the 2023 activity report includes the functions referred to in section C.2.1. of this report.

F.5.2. Indicate whether there is a discussion procedure whereby the auditor (pursuant to TAS), the internal audit function and other experts can report any significant internal control weaknesses encountered during their review of the financial statements or other reviews they have been engaged to perform to the company's senior executives and its Audit Committee or Board of Directors. State also whether the entity has an action plan to correct or mitigate the weaknesses identified.

Article 40 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors govern the duties of the Audit Committee to protect the independence and efficacy of the Internal Audit Function, to regularly receive information on the activities of the Internal Audit Department, to verify whether senior management takes into account the conclusions and recommendations in its reports and to discuss with the auditor of the financial statements any significant weaknesses in the internal control system detected in the course of the audits, without ever compromising its independence. To this end, and where applicable, recommendations and proposals, together with the relevant follow-up deadlines, may be submitted to the board of directors.

In accordance with the process established for such purpose, any significant internal control weaknesses that have been detected by the auditors of the financial statements in the course of their work are formally reported in writing to Management, which defines any action plans to be implemented to mitigate the internal control weaknesses detected and subsequently presents them to the Audit Committee.

Thirteen meetings of the Audit Committee were held in 2023.

External auditors attended five Audit Committee meetings to communicate, among other matters, the provisional status of the audit work done on the Group's financial statements and the main findings detected, including any areas for improvement in internal control detected, which, without being significant weaknesses, were deemed to be potentially useful. The Internal Audit Department has participated in 8 Audit Committee meetings, presenting, among other matters, the degree of progress of the work undertaken in relation to the ICFRS, as well as the internal control weaknesses identified in the course of said work and the rest of the audits performed during the year.

F.6 Other relevant information

There is no relevant information to highlight with respect to the ICFRS implemented in the Group that has not been disclosed in the previous sections of this Section F.

F.7 External auditor's report

Indicate:

F.7.1. Whether the ICFRS information reported to the markets has been submitted for review by the external auditor. If so, the related report should be included in the corresponding report as an Appendix. If not, give reasons why.

The ICFRS Function monitors the ICFRS continuously, validating its design and control efficacy.

In addition, the Internal Audit Management, with the supervision of the Internal Audit Committee, reviews ICFRS requirements and procedures. These tasks are supplemented by the contributions made by the external auditor in relation to the identification of any internal control weakness during external audit tasks.

These oversight activities are deemed appropriate and sufficient; therefore, it was not deemed necessary in 2023 to submit ICFRS information to an additional external review.

DEGREE OF COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RECOMMENDATIONS G

State the company's degree of compliance with the recommendations of the Good Governance Code for Listed Companies.

If the company does not comply with any recommendation or follows it partially, there must be a detailed explanation of the reasons providing shareholders, investors, and the market in general with sufficient information to assess the company's course of action.

Notwithstanding the legal obligations to disseminate privileged information and other types of regulated information, the company should also have a general policy regarding the disclosure of economic-financial, non-financial and corporate information through the channels it deems appropriate (communication media, social networks or other channels), contributing to maximizing the dissemination and quality of the information available to the market, investors and other stakeholders.

Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □

5. The board of directors should not make a proposal to the general meeting for the delegation of powers to issue shares or convertible securities without pre-emptive subscription rights for an amount exceeding 20% of capital at the time of such delegation.

    • c) Audit committee report on related-party transactions. Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □
  • 7. The company should broadcast its general shareholders' meetings live on the corporate website. The company should have mechanisms to allow for delegation and voting by telematic means, including even attendance and active participation at the General Shareholders' Meeting in the case of companies with high capitalisation and provided that this occurs on a proportional basis.

Complies □ Partly complies ☒ Explain □

The Company's Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting held on 9 May 2023 was broadcast live over Gestamp's website. In relation to the delegation or exercise of voting rights by telematic means, the Company did not consider it to be necessary to establish these mechanisms. When future General Shareholders' Meetings are prepared and organised, the possibility of establishing telematics delegation and voting mechanisms will be assessed.

8. The Audit Committee should ensure that the financial statements submitted by the Board of Directors to the General Shareholders' Meeting are prepared pursuant to accounting regulations. In the cases in which the auditor includes a qualification in its audit report, the chairperson of the audit committee should clearly explain at the general shareholders' meeting the opinion of the audit committee on its contents and scope, making a summary of such opinion available to shareholders at the time of convening the meeting, along with the rest of the board's proposals and reports.

Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □

9. The company should disclose on its website, on an ongoing basis, its conditions and procedures for admitting share ownership, the right to attend general meetings and the exercise or delegation of voting rights.

12. The board of directors should perform its duties with unity of purpose and independent judgement, according the same treatment to all shareholders in the same position. It should be guided at all times by the company's best interest, understood as the creation of a profitable business that promotes its sustainable success over time, while maximising its economic value.

In pursuing the corporate interest, it should not only abide by laws and regulations and conduct itself according to principles of good faith, ethics and respect for commonly accepted customs and good practices, but also strive to reconcile its own interests with the legitimate interests of its employees, suppliers, clients and other stakeholders, as well as with the impact of its activities on the broader community and the natural environment.

Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □

13. The board of directors should have an optimal size to promote its efficient functioning and maximise participation. The recommended range is accordingly between five and fifteen members.

Complies ☒ Explain □

14. The Board of Directors must approve a policy for selecting directors that provides for a suitable number of members and which:

a) is specific and allows for verification;

b) ensures that any proposed appointments or reappointments are based on a preliminary analysis of the duties required of the Board of Directors; and

c) promotes a diversity of knowledge, experience, age and gender. For this purpose, the measures promoting a significant number of female high executives at the company are deemed gender-diversity measures.

The results of the prior analysis of competences required by the board should be written up in the Nomination Committee's explanatory report, to be published when the general shareholders' meeting is convened to ratify the appointment or re-election of each director.

The Nomination Committee should run an annual check on compliance with this policy

and set out its findings in the annual corporate governance report. Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □

15. Proprietary and independent directors should constitute an ample majority on the board of directors, while the number of executive directors should be the minimum practical bearing in mind the complexity of the corporate group and the ownership interests they control. The number of female directors should represent at least 40% of the members of the board of directors by the end of 2022. Prior to that, it should not be below 30%.

Complies □ Partly complies ☒ Explain □

Proprietary Directors (4) and Independent Directors (7) make up the vast majority of Gestamp's Board of Directors, with the number of Executive Directors (1) being the necessary number given the complexity of the Gestamp Group. Proprietary Directors make up 30.77%, Independent Directors 53.85%, Executive Directors 7.69% and Other External Directors 7.69%.

However, the number of female Directors still does not represent the 40% of the Board of Directors established in this Recommendation, but rather 30.8%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, since financial year 2019, three of the four vacancies that have arisen on the Board of Directors of the Company have been filled by women. This complies with the Board of Directors' Diversity and Selection Policy which, in order to achieve a balanced presence of women and men in its composition, states that the Board of Directors must ensure that the Company's diversity measures encourage a significant number of women in senior management positions, and with the measure adopted under the Action Plan resulting from the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors, consisting in continuing to promote diversity on the Board of Directors and, thus, the appointment of female directors.

16. The percentage of proprietary directors out of all non-executive directors should be no greater than the proportion between the ownership stake of the shareholders they represent and the remainder of the company's capital.

This criterion can be relaxed:

  • a) In large cap companies where few or no equity stakes attain the legal threshold for significant shareholdings.
  • b) In companies with a plurality of shareholders represented on the board but not otherwise related.

Complies ☒ Explain

17. Independent directors should represent at least half of all board members.

However, when the company does not have a large market capitalisation, or when a large cap company has shareholders individually or concertedly controlling over 30 % of capital, independent directors should occupy, at least, a third of board places.

  • 18. Companies should disclose the following director particulars on their websites and keep them regularly updated:
    • a) Professional and biographical profile;
    • b) Directorships held in other companies, listed or otherwise, and other paid activities they engage in, of whatever nature.
    • c) Statement of the director class to which they belong, in the case of proprietary directors indicating the shareholder they represent or have links with.
  • d) Dates of their first appointment as a board director and subsequent re-elections.
  • e) Shares held in the company and any options thereon. Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □
  • 19. Following verification by the nomination committee, the annual corporate governance report should disclose the reasons for the appointment of proprietary directors at the urging of shareholders controlling less than 3% of capital; and explain any rejection of a formal request for a board place from shareholders whose equity stake is equal to or greater than that of others applying successfully for a proprietary directorship. Complies □ Partly complies □ Explain Not applicable ☒
  • 20. Proprietary directors should resign when the shareholders they represent dispose of their ownership interest in its entirety. If such shareholders reduce their stakes, thereby losing some of their entitlement to proprietary directors, the number of the latter should be reduced accordingly.

Complies ☒ Partly complies Explain Not applicable

21. The board of directors should not propose the removal of independent directors before the expiry of their tenure as mandated by the bylaws, except where they find just cause, following a report by the nomination committee. In particular, just cause will be presumed when directors take up new posts or responsibilities that prevent them allocating sufficient time to the position of board member, or are in breach of their fiduciary duties or come under one of the disqualifying grounds for classification as independent enumerated in the applicable legislation.

The removal of independent directors may also be proposed when a takeover bid, merger or similar corporate transaction alters the company's capital structure, provided the changes in board membership ensue from the proportionality criterion set out in recommendation 16.

Complies ☒ Explain □

22. Companies should establish rules obliging directors to inform and, as applicable, resign in the event of situations affecting –whether or not related to their performance at the company itself– and impairing the company's credit and reputation and, in particular, requiring them to advise the Board of Directors about any criminal charges brought against them and the progress of any proceedings. Whenever the board is informed or otherwise becomes aware of any of the situations mentioned in the previous paragraph, it must examine the case as soon as possible and, taking into account the specific circumstances, decide, following a report from the Nomination and Compensation Committee, whether it should adopt any measure, such as opening an internal investigation, requesting the resignation of the director or proposing his/her removal. In addition, the matter should be reported in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, unless it is justified by special circumstances, which must be recorded in the minutes. This is notwithstanding the information that the Company may be required to disclose, if appropriate, at the time of adopting the relevant measures.

23. All directors should express their clear opposition when they feel a proposal submitted for the Board's approval might damage the corporate interest. In particular, independents and other directors not subject to potential conflicts of interest should strenuously challenge any decision that could harm the interests of shareholders lacking board representation.

When the Board makes material or reiterated decisions about which a director has expressed serious reservations, then he/she must draw the pertinent conclusions. Directors resigning for such causes should set out their reasons in the letter referred to in the next recommendation.

The terms of this recommendation also apply to the Secretary of the Board, director or otherwise.

24. When either through resignation or by agreement of the General Shareholders' Meeting, a director leaves his post before the end of his mandate, he should explain the reasons for his/her resignation or, in the case of non-executive directors, his/her opinion on the grounds for his/her dismissal by the board, in a letter sent to all members of the Board of Directors.

Even if said events are reported in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, provided that they are important for investors, the Company should publish the dismissal as soon as possible, including sufficient reference to the reasons or circumstances given by the director.

31. The agendas of board meetings should clearly indicate on which points directors must arrive at a decision in order for them to study the matter beforehand or gather together the material they need.

For reasons of urgency, the chairperson may wish to present decisions or resolutions for board approval that were not on the meeting agenda. In such exceptional circumstances, their inclusion will require the express prior consent, duly recorded in the minutes, of the majority of directors present.

57. Variable remuneration linked to the company's and personal performance, the award of shares, options or any other right on shares or instruments linked to the share value and long-term savings schemes, such as pension plans, retirement schemes or other social security schemes.

The company may consider the share-based remuneration of non-executive directors provided they retain such shares until the end of their mandate. This condition, however, will not apply to shares that the director must dispose of to defray costs related to their acquisition.

Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □

  • 58. In the case of variable awards, remuneration policies should include limits and technical safeguards to ensure they reflect the professional performance of the beneficiaries and not simply the general progress of the markets or the company's sector, or circumstances of that kind.

In particular, variable remuneration items should meet the following conditions:

  • a) Be subject to predetermined and measurable performance criteria that factor the risk assumed to obtain a given outcome.
  • b) Promote the sustainability of the company and include non-financial criteria that are relevant for the company's long-term value, such as compliance with its internal rules and procedures and its risk control and management policies.
  • c) Be focused on achieving a balance between the delivery of short-, medium- and longterm objectives, such that performance-related pay rewards ongoing achievement, maintained over sufficient time to appreciate its contribution to long-term value creation. This will ensure that performance measurement is not based solely on oneoff, occasional or extraordinary events. Complies ☒ Partly complies Explain Not applicable
  • 59. Sufficient checks should be made to ensure the payment of the variable components of remuneration is related to the performance or other previously established terms. The entities must include in directors' annual remuneration report the criteria applicable to the term required and methods for such verification in view of the nature and characteristics of each variable component. Additionally, the entities should consider incorporating a malus clause deferring for a sufficient amount of time the payment of a portion of variable components, implying their full or partial loss if any event justifying so occurs prior to payment.
Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □ Not applicable □

The commercial contract of the Executive Director, Mr Francisco JosÈ Riberas, contains a clause deferring the payment of his annual variable remuneration, whereby this will not be paid until the consolidated financial statements of the Gestamp Group are approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting.

In turn, the commercial contract of Mr Francisco LÛpez PeÒa, currently a proprietary director, in force until 31 December 2023 did not include annual variable remuneration among its remuneration components. Instead, Mr Francisco LÛpez PeÒa was the beneficiary of a long-term incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors on 29 October 2020, linked to the fulfilment by the end of the period (31 December 2022) of an economic-financial target, the achievement of which entitled the beneficiary to receive a cash amount within the first six months of 2023, once the fulfilment of such economic-financial target had been verified after the approval of the consolidated financial statements for 2022 by the General Shareholders' Meeting. This deferral period was regulated in the terms and conditions of the aforementioned long-term incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to by Mr LÛpez PeÒa.

In this regard, the Company considers the deferral period existing between the accrual of the remuneration, i.e. the end of the financial year in question, and the approval of the consolidated annual accounts of the Gestamp Group by the General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, once these have been audited by the external auditor, to be sufficient.

60. Remuneration linked to company earnings should contain any qualifications stated in the external auditor's report that reduce their amount.

Complies ☒ Partly complies □ Explain □ Not applicable □
------------ ------------------- ----------- ------------------

61. A major part of executive directors' variable remuneration should be linked to the award of shares or financial instruments referenced to their value. Complies Partly complies Explain ☒ Not applicable

The Company has approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) for certain Group executives which shall be settled by furnishing Company shares in order to align the executives' interests with the long-term sustainable corporate interest. However, the Company does not currently foresee Executive Director Mr Francisco JosÈ Riberas as being a beneficiary of this LTI.

As established in principle 25 of the Good Governance Code of Listed Companies, the main objective of remuneration linked to the delivery of shares or financial instruments referenced to their value is to "align the interests of executive directors with the longterm sustainable corporate interest".

In this respect, the Executive Director Mr Francisco JosÈ Riberas holds (through Acek Desarrollo y GestiÛn Industrial, S.L.) a significant shareholding in the Company. This situation necessarily implies an alignment of the Director's interest with the long-term corporate interest of the Gestamp Group, which is why the Company has not considered it necessary to include a long-term incentive based on furnishing shares or financial instruments tied to their value among the remuneration components for Mr Francisco JosÈ Riberas.

In turn, Mr Francisco LÛpez PeÒa, currently a proprietary director, participated until 31 December 2023 as an executive director in the Equity Participation Plan, whereby the Company offered certain key executives of the Group the possibility of acquiring shares in the Company at market price with financing from the Company. The aim of the Participation Plan was precisely to align the interests of the participants with the long-term interests of Gestamp. Therefore, once again, the Company did not consider it necessary in 2023 to include among the remuneration components of Mr Francisco LÛpez PeÒa the delivery of shares or financial instruments tied to their value.

62. Following the award of shares, share options or financial instruments derived from the remuneration system, executive directors should not be allowed to transfer their ownership or to exercise the options for at least three years.

There is an exception in the case that the director has, upon the transfer or exercise, a net economic exposure to the share price variation for a market value that is equal to an amount of at least twice his/her fixed annual remuneration through the ownership of shares, options or other financial instruments.

This will not apply to the shares that the director needs to sell in order to settle the costs related to their acquisition or, subject to the previous approval of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, to face any extraordinary and unexpected situation requiring so.

Complies □ Partly complies □ Explain □ Not applicable ☒

63. Contractual arrangements should include provisions that permit the company to reclaim variable components of remuneration when payment was out of step with the director's actual performance or based on data subsequently found to be misstated.

Complies ☒ Partly complies Explain Not applicable

64. Contractual termination or cancellation payments should not exceed a fixed amount equivalent to two years of the director's total annual remuneration and should not be paid until the company confirms that he or she has met the predetermined criteria or conditions for collection thereof. For the purpose of this recommendation, contractual termination or cancellation payments will include all payments whose accrual or payment obligations arise from or due to the termination of the contractual relationship between the director and the company, including the amounts not previously consolidated from long-term savings systems and the amounts paid by virtue of post-contractual non-compete agreements.
