Also, during the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 17 May 2024, the possibility of granting awards in the form of shares was approved through a corresponding amendment to the relevant Remuneration Policy.

On 28 March 2024, the Board of Directors approved the payment of the STIP for the year 2023 with the issuance of the first tranche of shares being completed on 30 March 2025 and on 28 May 2025, the second tranche of the incentive was vested to the beneficiaries.
