General meeting

Shareholders exercise their decision-making rights at the General Meeting, where they have the right to speak, ask questions and vote. The Annual General Meeting of Componenta must be held within six months of the end of the financial period.

The General Meeting decides on matters that come under its authority as defined in the Companies Act and the company's Articles of Association. These include approval of the financial statements, deciding on the use of the profit shown in the balance sheet, and the election of Board members and auditor.

Every Componenta shareholder is entitled to attend the General Meeting. Each share carries one vote at a General Meeting.

An Extraordinary General Meeting must be held if shareholders representing a minimum of 10% of the shares demand it in writing in order to process a specific matter.

As a rule, the General Meeting of Shareholders processes matters proposed by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting. A shareholder is entitled to have a matter included in the agenda of the meeting if, according to the Limited Liability Companies Act, it falls within the competence of the Annual General Meeting, provided that the shareholder requests this from the Board in writing early enough for the matter to be included in the notice of the meeting. In order to have a matter included in the agenda of a General Meeting, the shareholder must submit a request with justifications or decision proposals in writing to Componenta Corporation, Teknobulevardi 7, FI-01530 Vantaa, Finland.

The Board of Directors evaluates its own performance annually under the leadership of the Chairman. The Board also reviews the principles of corporate governance annually and amends it when required.

Shareholders' Nomination Board

Componenta has a Shareholders' Nomination Board which has the task each year of preparing and presenting the proposals for members of the Board of Directors and their remuneration to be made to the following Annual General Meeting. 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. The Nomination Board gives its proposal to the Company's Board of Directors no later than the end of the January preceding the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Board makes sure that the proposal is presented at the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Board has written rules of procedure, which state that its main tasks and duties are to
- prepare and present the proposal to be made to the general meeting concerning the number of members on the Board of Directors;
- prepare and present the proposal to be made to the general meeting concerning the members of the Board of Directors;
- prepare and present the proposal to be made to the general meeting concerning the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors; and
- look for succession candidates for the members of the Board.

Board diversity

When preparing its proposal for members of the Board of Directors, the Nomination Board pays attention to the Board diversity policy, available on the company's website. 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 group.

When selecting the members of the Board the goal is that they represent both genders and that their know-how and experience of the different areas in business operations (including production, sales, treasury and financial administration) complement each other and cover the key functions at industrial and listed companies. A further goal is to ensure continuity, so that at least some of the people elected to the Board possess experience of the company's business operations over a longer period.

In its current assembly, the Board of Directors is sufficiently compliant with the company's diversity policy. The members of the Board of Directors possess wide-ranging expertise in the business operations of companies with international operations and the development of these, are experienced in the company's field of operation, and complement each other's knowledge of the company's different business areas. There are three men and one woman in the Board of Directors.

Corporate Governance Statement 2021

Control environment

The purpose of Componenta's internal control is to ensure that the Group operates in line with its strategy profitably and effectively, that risk management is arranged appropriately and adequately and that the financial and operational reporting is reliable. Control is based on Componenta's values, operating principles, policies and guidelines. Internal control is part of management, governance and daily operations.

Financial reporting and monitoring activities regarding its correctness are based on annual and approved budgets, monthly forecasts and profit and loss reporting. The Group Finance and the administration of Group's Units are responsible for the financial reporting process and the regularly updated instructions.

Open and adequate communication ensures an efficient and effective control environment. Information on reporting tools, guidelines and principles for financial reporting have been onboarded with all those involved in financial reporting in accordance with their respective responsibilities. The guidelines and principles for financial reporting are available within the Group Finance and on the Group's intranet to that extent as the guidelines also affect the Group's other functions. New reporting requirements and other requirements alike are regularly reported within the financial organization in accordance with respective responsibilities of each individual. The Group CFO regularly reports to the Board of Directors on matters related to internal control.

The Board of Directors supervises the Group's financial reporting process and monitors the effectiveness of internal control, internal audit and risk management systems.

Internal monitoring

The profitability and efficiency of Componenta's operations and the achievement of financial objectives are monitored regularly by means of Group-wide financial reporting. The effectiveness of measures in internal control related to financial reporting is monitored by the Board of Directors, the President and CEO, the Corporate Executive Team and operative management teams.

Group-wide joint practices also cover reporting, the instructions for which are communicated regularly with those involved in the reporting process in accordance with their respective responsibilities. The Group Controller monitors the implementation of measures in accordance with the guidelines for Group-wide reporting processes together with the Group CFO.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the final evaluation of the Group's result.

Internal audit

Componenta Group's internal audit is conducted in accordance with the operating principles approved by the Board of Directors. These principles are based on the Group's internal reporting and the annual audit plan approved by the Board.

Componenta's Group Finance performs the strengthening of the internal control environment of the Group's various functions within the framework of the annual plan. Componenta utilizes external experts in internal audit as needed, but currently the development of an internal control environment is perceived as a more effective way to strengthen internal control. In accordance with Recommendation 26 of the Corporate Governance Code 2020, it is not always expedient for a company to organize internal audit as a separate function within its organization. Componenta has adopted the current approach by assessing the nature and scope of its business operations and operations.

Financial reporting that covers the whole Group regularly monitors how well financial targets are being met. The reports include actual figures, budgets and up-to-date estimates for the current year.

Insider management

Componenta Corporation complies with Market Abuse Regulation ((EU) No 596/2014, "MAR") and Level 2 regulation under it, the provisions of the Finnish Securities Markets Act and the Finnish Penal Code, any regulation and guidance given by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority as well as the Guidelines for Insiders published by Nasdaq Helsinki in the form valid at any given time. 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.


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.

The responsible auditor may function as an auditor for a maximum of seven years in succession. In addition, Componenta complies with the provisions of the Auditing Act and the EU Audit Regulation regarding the maximum term of office of an audit firm.

Principles concerning related parties

When monitoring and reporting related party transactions, Componenta observes the provisions of applicable legislation, the Finnish Corporate Governance Code and the requirements of international financial reporting standards. The monitoring and assessment of related parties is the responsibility of Componenta's Board of Directors that has also approved the principles concerning the monitoring and assessment of related parties.

Componenta may conclude with its related parties transactions which are associated with the company's contracts concluded according to standard terms and conditions, or are associated with contracts offered to customers and personnel within the constraints of normal pricing or
