The Nomination Board is convened annually by asking the three largest shareholders in the Company, as of 31 August, to appoint one member to the board. In addition to these, the chairman of the Company's Board of Directors serves as an expert member of the board.

The members of the Nomination Board elect one of the members to be chairman of the board. The first meeting of the Nomination Board is convened by the chairman of the Company's Board of Directors and, after that, the meetings are convened by the chairman of the board.

According to the diversity policy, the persons proposed for the Board of Directors shall possess wide-ranging expertise in the business operations of companies with international operations and the development of these. According to the diversity policy, it would be of great advantage to the work of the Board if a member of the Board had experience of the company's business sector or of a major customer segment.

These are supplemented by the company's own insider guideline, aimed to establish clear operating guidelines and rules on insider management, publication of inside information, maintenance of lists of insiders and transactions by the management and their related parties. The insider guideline has been distributed to all insiders.

At Componenta, insiders include managers subject to notification obligations and project-specific insiders.

In accordance with the applicable legislation, the persons discharging managerial responsibilities in Componenta (the Board of Directors, President and CEO and the Corporate Executive Team) and the persons closely associated with them notify Componenta and the Financial Supervisory Authority of any trading and other transactions related to Componenta's shares or debt instruments or related derivatives or other financial instruments made on their own account no later than within three days of the transaction. The lower threshold for the notification obligation is EUR 5,000 per calendar year. Componenta makes public disclosures on the aforementioned trading and transactions in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Componenta complies with the prohibition on trading (the so-called closed window) that starts 30 days before the release of a financial report or financial statement and ends with the release of the financial report or financial statement. During this time, the persons discharging managerial responsibilities in Componenta (the Board of Directors, President and CEO and the Group's Corporate Executive Team) may not, on their own account or for a third party, directly

or indirectly, engage in trading and other transactions related to Componenta's shares or debt instruments or related derivatives or other financial instruments. This prohibition on trading also applies to any separately appointed persons involved in the preparation of Componenta's financial reports.

Componenta maintains a project-specific insider list of any projects and events which, if realised, are likely to have a significant effect on the value of Componenta's shares, financial instruments or the derivatives related to them, and the publication of which has been postponed in accordance with MAR. Every person with access to inside information related to the project is recorded in the project-specific insider list. If inside information is disclosed to parties outside of Componenta (such as financial or other advisors), the person disclosing the information must ensure that the recipient of the information undertakes to keep the information confidential and complies with the insider regulations in force. Parties acting on behalf of or for Componenta have a separate obligation to prepare and maintain insider list of persons who have access to the insider information.

A person named in a project-specific list may not unlawfully disclose the inside information to outsiders or other Componenta employees, trade or engage in transactions with Componenta's financial instruments or advise others in relation to the aforementioned. Moreover, amending and cancelling assignments involving Componenta's financial instruments is prohibited when in possession of inside information. The full insider guideline is available on the company's intranet. The General Counsel is responsible for the company's insider affairs.
