Information on the company's shareholding structure, organisation and corporate governance A. Shareholding structure
This report describes in detail the corporate governance structure and practices adopted by Galp in 2021, to comply with Article 29-H of the Portuguese Securities Code and the governance code report model approved by CMVM Regulation No. 4/2013, which is available on the CMVM website at https://www.cmvm.pt/en/Legislacao/National\_legislation/Regulamentos/Docum ents/Reg4\_2013.Governo.das.Sociedades.en.pdf
1. Capital structure (share capital, number of shares, distribution of capital by shareholders, etc.), including shares that are not listed , different classes of shares, the corresponding rights and duties, and the capital percentage that each category represents (Article 29-H(1)(a)).

Note: non-listed shares are owned by Parpública and, under the applicable legal framework, must be placed in the market, as they were not used to repay the exchangeable bonds. These shares do not have any special rights and may be
.
fungible with the remaining shares upon request without requiring the approval of any of Galp´s corporate bodies
2. Restrictions on the transfer of shares, such as consent clauses on disposal or limits on share ownership (Article 29-H(1)(b)).
Galp shares are freely transferable with no restrictions in the By-laws to their transferability or ownership.
3. Number of treasury shares, the percentage of share capital represented by these shares and the corresponding percentage of voting rights (Article 29-H(1)(a)).
As at 31 December 2021, Galp held no treasury shares or bonds.
4. Agreements to which the company is a party and which come into effect, are amended or are terminated after events such as a change in the control of the company following a takeover bid, as well as the respective effects, except where, owing to the nature of the same, disclosure would be seriously detrimental to the company, except where the Company is specifically required to disclose such information pursuant to other legal requirements (Article 29-H(1)(j)).
Galp is not a party to any agreement which takes effect, is amended or terminated in the event of a change of control of the Company.
In line with normal market practice, some financing agreements and bond issues include change-of-control provisions, with the possibility of the relevant creditors/bond holders requesting early repayment. These contracts have no adverse financial effect on the transfer of shares in Galp nor on the assessment of the directors' performance by the shareholders.
Galp has not adopted any mechanism that entails making payments or undertaking responsibility for costs in the event of a change of control or a change in the composition of the Board of Directors that could adversely affect the transfer of the shares and the assessment by the shareholders of the performance of the members of the Board of Directors.
5. Framework for the renewal or withdrawal of countermeasures, particularly those which establish a restriction on the number of votes that can be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or together with other shareholders.
Not applicable. Galp´s By-laws enshrine the "one share, one vote" principle, and there are no By-law provisions or other legal instruments that impose any limitation on the number of votes that can be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or together with other shareholders, or other protective measures.
6. Shareholder agreements which the company is aware of and which could result in restrictions on the transfer of securities or voting rights (Article 29- H(1)(g)).
The Company is not aware of any shareholders' agreements relating to Galp which could lead to restrictions on the transfer of securities or the exercise of voting rights.
7. Details of the natural or legal persons that are, directly or indirectly, the holders of any qualifying holdings (Article 29-H(1)(c) and (d) and Article 16), showing the allocated percentage of capital and votes, as well as the sources and reasons.
Shareholders and other entities are required to report qualifying holdings to the CMVM and to Galp when the holding attributable to such shareholder or entity reaches, exceeds, or falls below the thresholds of 2% (applicable until 31 December 2021), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 1/3, 50%, 2/3 and 90% of the voting rights in Galp's share capital. These reporting duties are generally applicable in European Union countries. In Portugal, they are set out in Article 16 of the Portuguese Securities Code, which is available on the CMVM website at www.cmvm.pt.
As of 31 December 2021, the qualifying holdings in Galp's share capital, calculated in accordance with Article 20 of the Portuguese Securities Code and reported to Galp, for the purposes of Article 16 of the Portuguese Securities Code, were as follows:

1For the purposes of article 447, no. 2, paragraph d) of the Companies Code, it is further stated that Amorim Energia B.V., in which the director appointed also performs management functions, holds 276,472,161 Galp shares
2 Andy Brown was co-opted by the Board of Directors on 5 February 2021, following the resignation of Carlos Gomes da Silva, being the co-option ratified by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 23 April 2021. The first available information dated on that date. On the date he left the Board of Directors, Carlos Gomes da Silva held 17 410 shares.
3Appointed by co-option on 23 July 2021 (being the first available information dated on that date) following the resignation of Susana Quintana-Plaza. On the date she left the Board of Directors, Susana Quintana Plaza held no shares.
4Appointed by co-option on 17 December 2021 (being the first available information dated on that date) following the resignation of Carlos Silva and Sofia Tenreiro. On the date they left the Board of Directors, José Carlos Silva was the holder of 275 shares and Sofia Tenreiro held 1 500 shares.
5 Shares held by related parties.
6 Shares held by related parties.
On 31 December 2021, none of the members of the management and supervisory bodies held any bonds issued by the Company.
The number of shares held by the CEO in function as of December 31, 2021, expressed as a multiple of the respective fixed annual salary, is 0.2741; the average number of shares held by executive members (except the CEO), expressed as a multiple of the respective fixed annual salary, is 0.1769.
9. Special powers of the Board of Directors, particularly with regard to resolutions on capital increase (Article 29-H(1)(i) of the Portuguese Securities Code), stating the date the powers were conferred, the time period within which they may be exercised, the upper threshold for the capital increase, the amount already issued under the allocation of powers and the manner of implementing the allocated powers.
The Board of Directors has the management powers laid down in company law for the relevant governance model. The By-laws grant no special powers to the Board of Directors, including the possibility of passing a resolution on share capital increases.
The Annual General Meeting held in 2021 granted the Board of Directors the power to acquire and dispose of the Company's treasury shares and bonds, on the terms to be decided in line with market conditions, and the criteria approved at the General Meeting, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
The relevant resolution is available on Galp's website at: https://www.galp.com/corp/en/investors/information-to-shareholders/generalshareholders-meetings/general-shareholders-meeting/id/22/annual-generalmeeting-2021
In 2021, there were no material business relationships between the holders of qualifying holdings and Galp.
B. Corporate Bodies and committees
Under Article 11(2) of the By-laws, the Board of the General Meeting consists of a Chair, a Vice-Chair and a Secretary, each of whom is elected at the General Meeting.
The members of the Board of the General Meeting elected for the 2019–2022 term of office, beginning on 12 April 2019 and ending on 31 December 2022 (without prejudice to remaining in office until the election of new members), are as follows:
Chair: Ana Perestrelo de Oliveira
Vice-Chair: Rafael Lucas Pires
Secretary: Sofia Leite Borges
12. Any restrictions on the right to vote, such as voting right restrictions based on a number or percentage of shares, deadlines for exercising voting rights or systems whereby the financial rights attached to securities are detached (Article 29-H(1)(f) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
The By-laws enshrine the "one share, one vote" principle and there are no Bylaw provisions or other legal instruments which restrict the exercising of voting rights. There are no systems for detaching rights.
Galp has not established any mechanism that would have the effect of creating a discrepancy between the right to receive dividends, or to subscribe new securities, and the voting rights carried by each share.
The right to vote is exercised pursuant to Article 10(1) of the By-laws, in accordance with the I and II Shareholders' Rights Directives, as transposed into the Portuguese Securities Code. Therefore, any shareholder may attend, take part in the discussions and vote at the General Meeting, in person or by proxy, subject to the following requirements:
• The financial intermediary shall notify the Chair of the Board of the General Meeting of the shareholder's intention, and shall send the information on the number of shares registered on behalf of its client by the end of the 5th trading day prior to the date of the General Meeting.
The exercise of these rights is not affected by the transfer of the shares at any time after 00:00 (WEST) on the registration date and does not depend on the shares being blocked between that date and the date of the General Meeting. However, shareholders who – having declared their intention to attend the General Meeting – transfer the ownership of shares between 00:00 (WEST) on the registration date and the end of the General Meeting must immediately inform the Chair of the Board of the General Meeting and the CMVM, and this will not prejudice the exercise of their right to participate and vote at the General Meeting.
Article 10(6) to (9) of the By-laws permits the unrestricted exercise of the voting right by correspondence and, despite not being expressly provided for in the Bylaws, votes may also be cast electronically, pursuant to the law and in accordance with the requirements established by the Chair of the Board of the General Meeting in the convening notice for the relevant General Meeting, in order to ensure authenticity and confidentiality.
This possibility has been included in all convening notices of Galp's General Meetings, including the convening notice for the 2021 Annual General Meeting, and has been a repeated practice since 2015.
As specified in the convening notice for the relevant General Shareholders' Meeting, shareholders may also participate in the General Meeting by telematic means. Detailed instructions for participating are included in the applicable convening notice, which is published on the Company's website as well as on CMVM's website.
The possibility of participation by telematic means has also been available for all annual General Meetings held since 2018, including the 2021 Annual General Meeting, the latter being exclusively held by telematic means, due to legal and public health restrictions imposed by COVID-19.
The holding of an Annual Meeting exclusively using telematic means reinforces Galp's repeated practice of allowing shareholders to participate in General Meetings remotely , as well as to exercise voting rights also remotely, through electronic mail, mechanisms that were already available to shareholders in previous years but were not usually used.
Galp intends to continue to encourage shareholder participation in General Meetings, which, in the particular case of shareholders residing or headquartered outside Portugal, is particularly facilitated by the possibility of voting and participating remotely.
13. Details of the maximum percentage of voting rights that may be exercised by a single shareholder or by shareholders in a relationship with that shareholder, as established in Article 20(1) of the Portuguese Securities Code.
Not applicable. The By-laws make no provision for any limitation on the voting rights that may be exercised by a single shareholder or shareholders in any of the relationships set forth in Article 20(1) of the Portuguese Securities Code.
Resolutions of the General Meeting are passed by a simple majority of the votes cast unless a qualified majority is required by law or under the By-laws. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast.
In addition to those legally set out in the law, article 12(4) of Galp's By-laws require a two-thirds qualifying majority in the following cases:
Although these provisions of the By-laws establish a deliberative quorum, which may, in certain situations, be higher than that provided for by law, they are not intended to hinder shareholder resolutions, nor are they intended to be an antitakeover shareholder defence mechanism that harms the market for control (which in Galp is not limited). The purpose is to ensure adequate representation of shareholders, particularly minority shareholders, when approving resolutions on issues of strategic importance to the Company and on fundamental matters of Galp, which characterise its essence, and to avoid the classic agency problem. This mechanism was therefore created with the primary goal of protecting the Company itself, ensuring its stability, as well as the minority shareholders, in nuclear matters for Galp. It should also be noted that the application of a
deliberative quorum of two thirds in a second convening is only required for matters which, because they are strategic and of utmost importance to the Company, the law itself requires for resolutions on the same matter in the first convening.
(Board of Directors, Executive Board and General Council and Supervision)

Galp's corporate governance model comprises:
(iii) a Company Secretary with the duty of providing specialist support to the corporate bodies.
Galp has the mandatory corporate bodies for companies with listed securities and which have adopted the single-tier model provided for in Articles 278(1)(a), 413(1)(b) and (2)(a) and 446(A)(1) of the Companies Code ("CSC").
Galp's governance model is designed to ensure transparency and the effectiveness of the Group by means of a separation of powers between the different corporate bodies. While the Board of Directors is responsible for defining, overseeing, establishing and supervising the strategic guidelines, as well as for management supervision and the relations between shareholders and other corporate bodies, the duties of the Executive Committee, as delegated by the Board of Directors, are operational in nature and involve the day-to-day management of the business and corporate services.
The existence of matters which are the exclusive remit of the Board of Directors (i.e. not suitable for delegation to the Executive Committee) ensures that the Board of Directors establishes and monitors Galp's strategic guidelines.
The Board of Directors' Regulation establishes that its members, strictly for the performance of their duties and in compliance with the applicable legal limits, have access to any necessary information, particularly through access to documents or through information or clarification provided by the Company's employees, in order to assess the Company's performance, status and prospects for development, including the minutes, the auxiliary documents for decisions made, the convening notices and the files of Executive Committee meetings.
The Chair of the Board of Directors has, among other responsibilities set down in the applicable provisions of the law, regulations and the By-laws, the authority to coordinate and supervise relations between the Company and its shareholders, taking into account the Company's objectives, the long-term
interests of its shareholders, and the sustainable development of Galp's business.
With a view to strengthening Galp's governance, particularly in terms of monitoring, evaluating and supervising the Company's activity by non-executive members, the Board of Directors, at its meeting of 17 September 2020, decided to delegate to the non-executive director Jorge Seabra the special task of monitoring the Executive Committee's activity, as provided for in article 6(1) of the Board of Directors' Regulations.
The supervisory powers of the Board are bolstered by the existence of a Lead Independent Director and three specialised committees created within the Board – Audit Committee, Sustainability Committee and Risk Management Committee, comprised exclusively by non-executive directors.
The Audit Board is responsible for exercising the oversight functions of the Company's business in five key areas:
The Statutory Auditor is responsible for controlling the Company's financial information.
16. By-law rules relating to the procedural requirements for the appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the General and Supervisory Board, where applicable (Article 29-H(1)(h)).
The members of the Board of Directors, including the Chair, are appointed by the shareholders at the General Meeting, for a term of four calendar years, with the year of appointment counting as a full year, and may be re-elected one or more times.
Members of the Board of Directors take office at the time of appointment and remain in office until the nomination, co-option or appointment of a substitute, except when a member has resigned or has been removed, in which case the member in question remains in office for the periods stipulated in the CSC.
Members of the Board of Directors are elected from a list containing the names of the proposing shareholders. The vote applies only to the list as a whole and not to each of its members individually, as provided for by law and the By-laws.
The law and Galp's By-laws include a mechanism to entitle shareholders who do not support the winning list and who hold a minimum percentage of the voting rights, individually or together with others, to propose the nomination of one director.
Every year, shareholders also decide on whether directors should remain in office by making a positive appraisal of their performance through a vote of praise and/or confidence. A negative annual appraisal, by way of a no-confidence vote,
may lead to the dismissal of the director in question, in accordance with the terms of the law.
In view of the Portuguese legal framework, which attributes to the shareholders the exclusive power to elect the members of the Board of Directors and limits the power of the Board of Directors in matters of shareholder competence, Galp has no nomination Committee within the structure of the Board of Directors.
In fact, such a committee cannot replace the powers of the shareholders under Article 391 of the CSC.
The Company has promoted exhaustive selection processes in order to identify, attract and select specific profiles, a strategy tailored for value creation oriented for the different, relevant management positions, with the support of reputable international companies specialised in the selection of C-level executives.
In the event of the permanent absence or impediment of any member of the Board of Directors, the latter must co-opt a replacement member and submit this replacement for endorsement at the next General Meeting. To this end, the By-laws state that a director is deemed permanently absent if he or she misses three consecutive or five non-consecutive meetings.
17. Composition of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the General and Supervisory Board, as applicable, with details of the minimum and maximum statutory number of members, the duration of the term of office, the number of sitting members, the date they were first appointed and the end date of each member's term of office.
Under the By-laws, the Board of Directors has a minimum of 19 and a maximum of 23 directors.
The current members of the Board of Directors elected for the four-year term 2019–2022, as well as the changes that occurred during 2021 and all members who performed duties on 31 December 2021, are listed in the following table and notes and the information is always updated on Galp's website.

18. Distinction to be drawn between executive and Nonexecutive directors and as regards Non-executive members, the details of members that may be considered independent or, where applicable, the details of the independent members of the General and Supervisory Board.
The members of the Board of Directors are considered independent, in accordance with the Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance ("PICG Corporate Governance Code"), if they are not associated with any specific interest group within the company and there is nothing that could affect their impartiality in terms of analysis and decision-making, namely because:
which it is in a controlling or a group relationship, either directly or as a partner, board member, manager or director of a legal person;
Currently, 13 of the 18 members of the Board of Directors are non-executive directors, which is equivalent to more than half (72%) of the total number of directors, which is an appropriate number, particularly given Galp's shareholder structure, capital dispersion, the size of the Company and the complexity of the risks involved in the Company's business activity.
The non-executive members supervise and continually assess the management of the Company, ensuring its capacity for monitoring, supervising, overseeing and appraising the activities of the executive members.

Given the criteria for determining the independence of the non-executive members of the Board of Directors, provided for in the CSC and the PICG Corporate Governance Code", the Board of Directors includes the following six independent directors, based on its self-assessment for the 2021 financial year performed at the meeting held on 18 February 2022:
Miguel Athayde Marques (Lead Independent Director) Luís Todo Bom Edmar de Almeida Cristina Fonseca Adolfo Mesquita Nunes Javier Cavada Camino
In view of the Company's governance model, its shareholder structure, and its free float, Galp believes that the proportion of independent directors of the nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors (i.e. 46%) is suitable and is higher than the percentage recommended in the PICG Corporate Governance Code (1/3).
At the Board of Directors' meetings, and as provided for in its Regulations, the non-executive members promote and participate in establishing the Company's strategy, its major policies, its corporate structure and decisions that are deemed strategic due to their magnitude or risk, as well as in assessing whether these are followed.
At the Board of Directors' meeting of 12 April 2019, the directors decided to assign two non-executive directors – Carlos Pinto and Edmar de Almeida – the special responsibility of monitoring the evolution of the markets in Angola and Brazil, respectively, to ensure a detailed strategic analysis of these two key markets for the Company.
On the same date, the independent non-executive directors appointed Miguel Athayde Marques as Lead Independent Director, for the purpose, among other things, of: (I) acting, whenever necessary, as an intermediary between the Chair of the Board of Directors and the remaining members; and (II) ensuring that they have all the necessary means and conditions for the performance of their duties.
At the co-option resolution of the Board of Directors on 17 December 2021, it was decided to assign to Javier Cavada Camino the special responsibility of following energy transition matters in Galp´s context.
19. Professional qualifications and other relevant information about each member of the Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Committee, where applicable.
As described in the chart below, the members of the Board of Directors have a range of skills, professional experience and academic backgrounds that are appropriate for the activities carried out by Galp and for the strategy established for the coming years.
This shows the diversity within the Board of Directors, which is in line with the Diversity Policy for the Board of Directors and Audit Board approved by the Board of Directors on 15 December 2017, and which has an impact on the appointments made at the elective General Meeting of 12 April 2019 available on Galp's website: https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/SharedResources/Documentos/EN/Diversity\policy\_for\_the\_board\_of\ directors\and\_audit\_board\-\Versao\_publicada\-\_EN.pdf
The Diversity Policy for the Board of Directors and Audit Board is committed to endeavouring, in accordance with the powers of each body, to foster diversity
on the Board of Directors and Audit Board, particularly with regard to the following criteria: age, gender, geographical origin, educational training and professional experience.

governance
Galp recognises the benefits of diversity on its Board of Directors and Audit Board in order to ensure a more balanced composition, improve the performance of its members, enhance the quality of decision-making and control processes, avoid the group-thinking effect and contribute to the sustainable development of the Company, while requiring that each member has the individual characteristics necessary for holding the position in question.
Apart from the diversity of skills, the variety of academic backgrounds and professional experience, the Board of Directors is suitably diverse in terms of the origin, age and gender of its members. Currently, the Board of Directors includes members from 6 nationalities, including geographies where Galp operates and members with management experience in the various energy sectors. Javier Cavada Camino and Georgios Papadimitriou, co-opted in 2021, continue the geographic trend, being from Spain and Greece, respectively.
At the current date, the percentage of women on the Board of Directors is 22.2%. The Board members range in age from 34 to 76.
In order to ensure adequate knowledge and monitoring by the non-executive members of the activities carried on by the business units, an periodic knowledge sessions have been in place since 2018.
In 2021, the Board was involved in discussing Galp's strategic update through presentations by the business units and discussion with the Board of work streams, a process that culminated in the Strategy Day on 12 May 2021, in which the strategy update was discussed in depth.

The Remuneration Committee, elected by the General Meeting in accordance with Article 8 of the By-laws, conducts an annual performance appraisal of the executive directors, for setting the respective variable pay, which includes a quantitative aspect (on the basis of whether economic, financial and operating targets, as defined annually by the Remuneration Committee), as well as a qualitative aspect (consulting the Non-executive members about the qualitative performance of the executive members of the Board of Directors).
Furthermore, the non-executive members, as part of their oversight role, monitor the performance of the executive directors.
In addition, pursuant to Article 376 of the CSC, at each General Meeting, the shareholders conduct a general appraisal of the Company's management. This appraisal is expressed through a vote of confidence or no confidence, in each of the directors and may, in case of negative appraisal, lead to the removal of the director concerned.
In addition, the Board reviews its own performance (including the executive members) and the performance of its committees on an annual basis, pursuant to Article 16 of the Board of Directors' Regulations. This review takes into account whether the Company's strategic plan and budget were followed, its risk management, its internal functioning and the contribution of each member to these objectives, as well as their relationships with the Company's other bodies and committees.
At its meeting on 18 February 2022, the Board of Directors conducted this performance evaluation, in reference to the year 2021, as in the previous year.
The performance of the executive directors is assessed according to the fulfilment of certain economic, financial and operational objectives, including environmental sustainability and energy efficiency criteria, as set in the remuneration policy in force at each moment.
The pre-defined criteria for appraising the executive directors' performance in the 2021 financial year, under the terms approved by the Remuneration Committee and submitted to the approval of the General Meeting, are set out in Section 69 of this report.
26. Availability of each member of the Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Committee, where applicable, and the details of any positions held at the same time in other companies within and outside the Galp Group, as well as any other relevant activities undertaken by the members of these boards throughout the financial year.
The positions held by the members of the Board of Directors in other companies outside the Galp Group and any other relevant activities pursued by the members of this body, in the 2021 financial year, are shown in the appendix to this report.
In general, the members of the Board of Directors show great availability for their duties, as confirmed by their attendance at the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, and by their work at Galp, as verified
each year by the Remuneration Committee as part of the qualitative appraisal of the directors' performance.
Compliance with these requirements is evidenced in the appendix of this report, since the members of the Executive Committee only hold positions in the management bodies of Galp's direct or indirect subsidiaries.
They are therefore fully available for and dedicated to their positions as executive members of the Board of Directors.
With regard to the non-executive directors with the highest number of positions held in other companies outside the Galp Group, these are in compliance with the above-mentioned rule and holding these positions within the same group – the Amorim or Américo Amorim Group – does not affect their availability for their positions and for their duties of monitoring, assessing and supervising Galp's executive directors.
Under the Board of Directors' Regulations:
Under the By-laws and the Board of Directors' Regulations, directors are considered definitively absent when they have not attended any three
consecutive or five non-consecutive meetings and the justification for these absences has not been accepted by the Board of Directors.
If any member of the Executive Committee fails to attend more than 20% of the Executive Committee's meetings, the CEO will inform the Board of Directors, conveying to the latter the reasons given for such absences.
The Board of Directors may then replace the Executive Committee member with another director, causing the former to become a non-executive director.
Galp complies with the mechanisms provided for by law, by the By-laws and by regulations for preventing and dealing with any conflicts of interest between the directors and the Company due to their holding other positions outside the Galp Group.
Under Article 398 of the CSC, directors may not:
In accordance with the Board of Directors' Regulations, the members shall promptly inform the Board, specifically the chair, of any facts that may
constitute or give rise to a conflict between their own interests and the Company's interests.
The Company has also approved an internal regulation which is available on Galp's website at
https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governance2019/regulamentos/ NT-R-023%20-%20Management%20of%20Conflicts%20of%20Interest.pdf which is applicable, among others, to the members of the Board of Directors and which establishes that members who have been identified as having a conflict of interest must refrain from discussing, voting, making decisions, giving opinions on, taking part in or exerting any influence on any decisionmaking processes directly related to the conflict of interest, without prejudice to providing any necessary information or clarification.
In addition, the Board of Directors' Regulations has also (i) established special mechanisms for access to sensitive information applicable to members of the Board of Directors that are in a conflict of interest due to carrying on an activity in competition with Galp authorised by the General Meeting and (ii) provides that its members shall immediately inform their chair of any facts that may constitute or give rise to a conflict between its interests and the corporate interest.
Moreover, in order to protect the Galp Group's interests in possible conflicts of interest between the Company and its directors arising from any dealings between them and the Company or companies in a controlling or group relationship with it, the regulatory standard, approved by the Board of Directors with prior opinion of the Audit Board, which governs the procedures to which the Group's related-party transactions are subject, as described in Sections 89 and 91 of this report.
In 2021, no authorisations were granted under applicable law to members of the Board of Directors to carry on business with the Company or companies controlled or in a group relationship with the Company.
At the Board of Directors' meeting on 12 April 2019, the Board appointed the Executive Committee, which, further to some changes in 2021 (5 February, 23 July and 17 December), currently consists of the five directors identified in Section 28 below, and approved the delegation of powers and the regulations which establish the principles and rules for the organisation and operation of the Board, which are available on Galp's website at https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governance2019/regulamento\_ CE\2019\_2022\_EN\.pdf

In line with the adopted governance model, the Audit Board is the corporate body in charge of supervising the management of the Company.
Galp's supervision, as a public company, as regards the certification of the Company's accounts, also includes a Statutory Auditor with the functions provided for in article 446 of the CSC, and who cannot be a member of the Audit Board, under the terms of article 413, no. 1, paragraph b) of the CSC. 31.

Given the Company's governance model and the support provided by several corporate departments to the Audit Board, in particular, the Risk Management & Internal Control, and the Internal Audit Departments, which permanently ensure the identification, management, monitoring and mitigation of the risks to which Galp is subject, and taking into account these risks, Galp considers
that the number of members of its Audit Board, which is the standard number adopted by most comparable Portuguese companies, is appropriate for the size and complexity of the Company and sufficient for it to perform its duties efficiently.

In accordance with the legal framework for audit supervision, as approved by Law No. 148/2015, of 9 September, which transposed Directive 2014/56/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 16 April 2014, the procurement of additional services by Galp or by any of its subsidiaries or Group companies from the External Auditor or from any entity in which the latter has a stake or which is part of the same network, requires the prior reasoned authorisation of the Audit Board, in accordance with the internal procedures approved by the Audit Board and set down in an internal standard.
This internal standard also establishes the non-audit services that cannot be provided by the External Auditor (prohibited services).
The Audit Board analyses the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor's compliance with independence requirements, the possibility of any services being provided by the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor and their compliance with the legal cap on fees, under the criteria, the selection process, the communication methodology and the inspection procedures in place to ensure the independence of the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor.
The additional services provided by the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor in 2021 are described in Sections 46 and 47 of this report.
Under the relevant legal framework, the By-laws and the Audit Board Regulations, this corporate body is responsible for monitoring the Company's activities and supervising the respective management, namely the processes of preparing and disclosing financial information. It has the power to put forward recommendations or proposals to ensure integrity and compliance with the law and its By-laws.
In terms of specific monitoring competences and powers, the Audit Board:
(i) monitors the operation of the corporate governance system adopted by Galp and its compliance with the law and with its By-laws, as well as any legislative and regulatory developments in the area of corporate governance, particularly recommendations and regulations;
Regarding the Audit Board's powers to oversee the audit of the Company's accounts, we note that under the terms of article 8 of the Audit Board Regulations, specifically, the Audit Board shall verify the accuracy of the accounts and the accounting principles and valuation criteria adopted by the Company for the correct determination of its assets and results. In addition to other powers provided for by law and the Regulations, the Audit Board also issues an opinion on the annual report and the accounts.
As regards, in particular, the corporate governance system (paragraph (i) above), the Audit Board is very active in the performance of its duties.
Specifically, during 2021, the Audit Board monitored the functioning of the corporate governance system and its compliance with legal rules, regulations and by-laws, as well as legislative and regulatory developments in the area of corporate governance, having been present at all Board of Directors meetings in 2021.
Regarding risk management, the Audit Board is responsible for verifying the effectiveness of the risk management, internal control and internal audit systems, including all aspects related to the process of preparing and disclosing financial information and proposing any necessary amendments. Additionally, the Audit Board is also responsible for supervising the adoption by the Company of the principles and policies for identifying the main financial and operational risks involved in the Company's activity, in addition to the duties of supervising the actions aimed at controlling, monitoring and disclosing these risks.
In accordance with Audit Board regulations, the assessment and opinion on Galp's strategic guidelines and risk management policy is carried out by the Audit Board before its final approval by the Board of Directors. In 2021 this assessment was carried out at the 13 December meeting.
In addition to other powers conferred by the law and the Regulations of the Audit Board, in its relations with other corporate bodies, the Audit Board has the power to:
(iv) propose the dismissal or termination of the service agreement with the Statutory Auditor to the General Meeting whenever there is just cause.
Under the Audit Board Regulations, it is also responsible for ensuring that suitable conditions are established within the Company for the provision of the Statutory Auditor's services.
Each year, the Audit Board prepares a report on its supervisory activities.
The members of the Audit Board have access to the information that is strictly necessary for the performance of their duties and, in compliance with the applicable legal limits, particularly through access to documents or the provision of information or clarification from employees of the Company, for appraising the performance, status and prospects of the Company and its development – including, in particular, the minutes, the supporting documents for decisions that have been made, the convening notices and the archives of the meetings of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors. It may also have access to any other documents or persons from whom clarification may be requested.
It can also engage experts who can assist its members in their assigned roles.
Under the Audit Board Regulations, its members shall promptly inform its Chair of any facts that may constitute or give rise to a conflict between their own interests and the Company's interests.
In addition, on 26 October 2018, the Company approved an internal regulation which is applicable to the members of the Audit Board, among others, which establishes that any members in a conflict of interest must refrain from discussing, voting, making decisions, giving opinions, taking part in or exerting any influence over any decision-making process directly related to the conflict of interest, except to provide any necessary information or clarification.
The General Meeting of 12 April 2019, at the recommendation of the Audit Board, elected the following for the four-year term 2019-2022:
Ernst & Young Audit & Associados, SROC, S.A., registered with the Institute of Statutory Auditors under No. 178 and registered with the CMVM under No. 20161480, represented by Rui Abel Serra Martins, Statutory Auditor No. 1119, for the position of Statutory Auditor, and Manuel Ladeiro de Carvalho Coelho da Mota, Statutory Auditor No. 1410, for the position of Alternate Statutory Auditor.
Galp's Statutory Auditor has held the position since 12 April 2019.
The other services provided to the Company by the Statutory Auditor are described in Sections 46 and 47 of this report.
42. Details of the External Auditor appointed under Article 8 of the Portuguese Securities Code and of the Partner who represents the External Auditor in carrying out these duties and their CMVM registration numbers.
Galp Group's External Auditor as of 31 December 2021 was Ernst & Young Audit & Associados, SROC, S.A., registered at the CMVM under No. 20161480, represented by the firm's partner Rui Abel Serra Martins, Statutory Auditor No. 1119.
The current External Auditor and the partner who represents the firm began their work at Galp on 1 January 2019.
The External Auditor rotation policy provides for the selection of the External Auditor and the partner of the Statutory Auditing Firm in question by the Audit Board at the limit up to the maximum period provided for by law through a
prior consultation process with the main internationally renowned auditing firms.
As established in the Audit Board Regulations, Galp's Statutory Auditor should be selected on the basis of a commercial assessment (overall price of the proposals) and a technical appraisal based on the following criteria:
Taking into account the above-mentioned rotation policy and the legislation in force, the Audit Board appointed a new External Auditor and selected a new Statutory Auditor, after a tender process held in accordance with the statutory rules and internal procedures, who was elected at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
The Audit Board, which is the primary contact point of the External Auditor with the Company, appraises the suitability and independence of the External Auditor each year, conducting a critical appraisal of its reports and any other relevant documentation and information. Each year in its annual business report, the Audit Board presents its appraisal of the External Auditor.
The specific role of the Statutory Auditor in the legal audit and examination of accounts includes checking that the remuneration which has been paid to the members of the corporate bodies is in line with the remuneration policy and the Remuneration Committee's resolutions on such matters.
With regard to internal control mechanisms, the Statutory Auditor/External Auditor checks its operations and efficiency on an annual basis and reports any shortcomings and any suggested improvements for internal procedures both to the Audit Board and to the Executive Committee.
46. Details of non-auditing services carried out by the External Auditor for the Company and/or companies in a control relationship with it, together with a statement regarding the internal procedures for approving the engagement of such services and a statement on the reasons for the engagement.
In 2021, the External Auditor and the entities belonging to the same network provided the Company and the companies with which it has a control relationship the following non-audit services:
In addition to the non-audit services mentioned above, the External Auditor/ Statutory Auditor provided the following services in 2021, as required by law:
When engaging services from the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor, sufficient internal procedures are followed to safeguard the independence of the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor stablished in internal standard, which defines, in accordance with the applicable law, the non-audit services that cannot be provided by the Auditor/Statutory Auditor.
The service proposals submitted by the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor are analysed and assessed and, where possible, compared by means of market consultation processes. These are subsequently sent to the Audit Board for approval, as described in Section 37 of this report.
47. Details of the annual remuneration paid by the Company and/or legal persons in control or group relationship with the Auditor and other natural or legal persons belonging to the same network, together with a percentage breakdown of the following services: (For the purposes of this information, the concept of network is that of European Commission Recommendation No. C (2002) 1873, of 16 May):
In 2021, the remuneration that was paid to the External Auditor and to other natural or legal persons belonging to the same network was as shown in the next table:
| By the company | ||
|---|---|---|
| Account review services | €27,500 | 2.8% |
| Reliability guarantee services | €83,250 | 8.5% |
| Tax advisory services | €0 | 0% |
| Non-account review services | €0 | 0% |
| By members of the Group | ||
| Account review services | €759,745 | 77.7% |
| Reliability guarantee services* | €107,400 | 11.0% |
| Tax advisory services | €0 | 0% |
| Non-account review services | €0 | 0% |
Considering that the mandate of the External Auditor began in 2019, the 70% limit established by Article 4(2) of EU Regulation No. 537/2014 (European Audit Regulation) is not applicable. In any case, it should be noted that in 2021 the non-audit services represented 27.4% of the average fees paid to the External Auditor in 2020 and 2019 for the financial audit services provided to Galp and entities under Galp's control in the same period.
Resolutions of the General Meeting on any amendments to the By-laws must be approved by a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes cast (Article 12(4)(b) of the By-laws).
Galp has several mechanisms for detecting and preventing irregularities, which are regulated by its Internal Control Manual as well as by its Code of Ethics and Conduct, anti-corruption policy and related regulation, policies on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing and prevention of and reaction to harassment, and the internal procedure for verifying the integrity of third parties, which are published on Galp's website at https://www.galp.com/corp/en/corporate-governance/documentation
Galp has a helpline available to report irregularities ('Opentalk'), namely breaches to the Code of Ethics and Conduct and non-compliance with these or other standards. This helpline is managed by the Ethics and Conduct Committee, is confidential and can be anonymous.
The standard regarding the Reporting of Irregularities enables any party related to Galp – including employees, members of the corporate bodies, shareholders, investors, customers, suppliers and business partners – to report to the Ethics and Conduct Committee any knowledge or reasonable suspicion of irregularities, including, specifically within the scope of the above-mentioned mechanisms, breaches of the Code of Ethics and Conduct or of any standards that refer to it or which address the topics referred to therein.
The security of information received about irregularities and related records is ensured by Galp's internal rules, in accordance with the relevant legislation on data protection and information security.
Personal data under the standard regarding Reporting of Irregularities are processed only in accordance with Article 19.º of Law no. 93/2021 of 20th December, the General Data Protection Regulation, Law no. 58/2019 of 8th August and guidelines issued by the Data Protection Authority – Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados.
For confidentiality purposes, access to these reporting processes is only granted to the Audit Board, the Ethics and Conduct Committee members and, on a strictly need-to-know basis, the Executive Committee members and the employees or external consultants specifically appointed to support the work of the Ethics and Conduct Committee.
The procedures and policies mentioned above apply to Galp and to all the companies in which Galp directly or indirectly exercises management control, in all the countries where the Galp Group operates.
Irregularities must be reported to the Ethics and Conduct Committee following the means available, as published on Galp's website https://www.galp.com/corp/pt/governo-societario/etica-econduta/comunicacao-de-irregularidades.
50. Individuals, boards or committees responsible for internal auditing and/or the implementation of internal control systems.
Galp's internal control system is based on the guidelines set out by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (CoSo) and it has adopted the five components of this model:
The Internal Control Manual establishes the general principles and requirements of the internal control components, as well as the organisational model in place that shows the integrated and transversal management of internal control within the Galp Group. This is defined as the set of processes carried out by the corporate bodies, specialised committees, internal auditors and Galp's employees, aiming to reasonably assure Galp's achievement of its operations, reporting and compliance objectives.
The Internal Audit Department regularly informs and alerts the Audit Committee and the Audit Board, at its regular meetings, about all relevant facts, identifying internal control improvement opportunities and promoting their implementation.
The Internal Audit Department reports hierarchically to the Audit Committee, functionally to the Audit Board and administratively to the Executive Committee, following the reporting lines recommended by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). The Internal Audit Department defines an annual Audit Plan, including an assessment of the risk management system based on Galp's strategic priorities and on the results of the risk assessment of the processes in the various business units. The annual Audit Plan is validated by the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Board, which monitors its execution.
The Internal Audit Department is compliant with IIA international standards and is periodically subject to external compliance assessments. Additionally, in accordance with The IIA guidelines, an annual quality review and continuous improvement programme are performed.
The External Auditor, Statutory Auditor, the corporate areas responsible for carrying out audits of environment, quality, safety and sustainability and for ethical and regulatory compliance and the Audit Board are also responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control system and assessing its functioning and procedures.
The implementation of internal control activities is the responsibility of the Group's business units' operational areas, corporate functions and Galp Group companies.
The organisational and governance structure for internal control and risk management is based on the three-lines-of-the defence model, as shown in the chart below.

The three-lines-of-defence approach ensures that:
The Board of Directors, assisted by the specialised committees, defines the risk management strategy, approves the risk management policy, the risk appetite underlying the Strategic Plan and the Budget and Plan and supervises risk management. It monitors the activities of the Risk Management, Internal Audit and Sustainability Committees and their recommendations.
The Executive Committee ensures the alignment of risk management with the defined strategy and business objectives; promotes a risk culture and the Company's risk management commitment; establishes and ensures compliance with risk management regulations; and defines risk management reporting lines, competencies and responsibilities; validates the main risks, Key Risk Indicators (KRI) and treatment plans reported by the Risk Management & Internal Control Department.
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO), a member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, ensures that the strategic action plans that support the Group in managing and minimising Organisational Units risks are in place, and that risk management appetite and priorities are considered in decision-making; oversees and guides the risk assessment processes and respective response actions across the organisation; ensures that risk management guidelines defined by the Executive Committee are complied with and reflected in the internal risk management regulations; promotes and controls the implementation of the Risk Management & Internal Control Department, the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors and the Audit Board recommendations related to risk.
The Risk Management Committee, made-up of three non-executive members of the Board of Directors, is responsible for advising the Board on the oversight and monitoring Galp's main risks, assessing compliance with tolerance levels and the execution and effectiveness of mitigation actions; assessing Galp Group's internal control and risk management systems; issuing appropriate opinions and recommendations; and assessing compliance with Galp's risk management policy.
The Audit Committee, made up of three non-executive Board members, is responsible for advising the Board of Directors on the oversight and monitoring of internal audit activities within Galp Group, valuing the results and conclusions obtained in the internal audit activities and issuing appropriate opinions and recommendations.
The Sustainability Committee, made-up of three non-executive Board members, is responsible for supporting the Board of Directors in the integration of sustainability principles, namely energy transition, social responsibility, human rights, safety and the environment (including climate-related topics), in the management process of the Galp Group, promoting industry best practices in all its activities.
The Sustainability Committee, supported by the Risk Management Committee, is the board level committee responsible for climate-related risks.
resources assigned to the Internal Audit and the Compliance division of the Corporate Secretary, Compliance & DPO Departments and receives periodic reports from these departments, including the auditing reports and the annual Compliance Plan, as well as information on reporting issues, the identification or settlement of conflicts of interest and the detection of potential illegalities. The Audit Board meets monthly with the Head of Internal Audit and quarterly with the Head of Legal and Governance. It also meets quarterly with the Head of Risk Management & Internal Control Department to discuss the Group's most important risk management issues and receive documentation and results of Risk Management Committee meetings.
The Audit Board is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the risk management, internal control and internal audit systems, as well as annually evaluating the functioning of the internal systems and procedures, thus contributing to the improvement of the internal control environment.
As part of its oversight role, the Audit Board monitors the work plans and
The Audit Board also assesses the annual strategic guidelines and the risk management policy established by the Board of Directors.
Although not being part of the internal organisation, the External Auditor plays an important role in the control structure, analysing the accounting systems and the internal control system to the extent necessary to issue an opinion on the financial statements and making recommendations to the stakeholders, including the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors and the Audit Board.
Like the External Auditor, the regulatory bodies are not part of the organisation but have a significant control role, defining the operating rules and establishing compliance assessment controls, namely in Galp's regulated electricity and natural gas business.
The relationship model between the governing bodies, committees and areas responsible for implementing the internal control system favours the centralised risk management in the Risk Management & Internal Control Department. This department is responsible, among others, for:
Information on the company's shareholding structure, organisation and corporate
governance C. Internal organisation
within their respective powers and within the framework of the functioning of these bodies.
The Internal Control division is responsible for promoting, coordinating and monitoring the implementation of a formal internal control system within the Galp Group, namely for the internal controls of financial reporting, as well as supervising and monitoring the mechanisms necessary for its effectiveness, and defining and promoting the annual cycle of relevant activities within the scope of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIRF), ensuring its internal consistency and coherence, in accordance with the COSO 2013 international reference framework. The identification of financial reporting risks is carried out with the business units, with the implementation of relevant controls to mitigate these risks, from the different levels of responsibility of the organisational structure.
The Compliance division establishes ethical and compliance controls monitor the internal control system by conducting internal investigations, audits, or risk assessments on ethics and compliance issues (such as bribery and corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing, fraud, conflicts of interest, policy, economic and financial sanctions and other restrictive measures, compliance with financial and market regulations), as well as by carrying out due diligence on the same issues for relevant partners and transactions. Additionally, it provides training to Galp's employees on compliance matters and assesses the ethics and compliance performance in the various organisational units. It also develops special projects with the aim of consistently improving Galp's compliance with ethics and regulations.
Risk and processes owners are responsible for identifying and understanding the risk environment of their organisational units, for carrying out the daily management of risk and opportunities and for integrating risk information into their decision-making processes, ensuring compliance with risk management policies and procedures. They are also responsible for identifying, evaluating
and quantifying the potential value of risk exposure; the definition of KRI and the proposal of limits and tolerance thresholds for monitoring the evolution of the level of exposure to risk; and the definition of risk response measures.
Local Risk Officers (LRO) support organisational units in identifying, assessing and managing risks and opportunities, and in defining KRIs and their respective limits and tolerance thresholds. They are also responsible for ensuring an integrated vision and the identification of the organisational units' Top Risks and for monitoring the risk exposure evolution, according to the defined KRI. In addition, they prepare and report information on risk exposure in their organisational units, reporting incidents or imminent risks and ensuring that response measures are defined and implemented.
To ensure full coverage of all risk classes in Galp's Risk Taxonomy, a more robust and transversal LRO structure was updated in 2021 according to Galp's new organisational structure.
In addition to those described above, the Strategy and Sustainability Department and the Cyber-Resilience division are also involved in risk control.
The Strategy and Sustainability Department is responsible for the corporate management of sustainability risks (including those arising from climate change,) and is competent to establish and propose assessment and monitoring methodologies. These must be implemented in conjunction with the business units, thus ensuring the definition of an action plan to mitigate or eliminate these risks.
The Board, the Executive Committee and the Sustainability Committee are informed on a quarterly basis on Galp carbon performance against targets and are updated on the decarbonisation roadmap status or any key climate change related issues via a specialized report, prepared by the Strategy and Sustainability team, with the support of the Risk Management team, when needed.
Galp recognizes the importance of a responsible leadership that integrates key climate and energy transition related challenges into its strategy. Therefore, the climate and energy transition related risks and opportunities - over the short, medium and long term - integrate the Company's strategic formulation process and investment planning. These are overseen by the BoD and the Executive Committee, where the CEO is the designated member responsible for climate strategy.
The Cyber-Resilience division is responsible for defining and monitoring, through its data security team, policies, procedures and actions related to cybersecurity, in the fields of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) and including the universe of relevant Galp partners and suppliers, also ensuring the immediate disclosure of alerts and promoting a high maturity level of information security, in line with best practices.
Galp has a Risk Taxonomy that is a dynamic support tool to support risk management, and which systematises Galp's main risks, organised into two levels: nature and category.
The assessment of risk exposure follows both a qualitative and quantitative methodology.
Qualitative analysis is based on the risk score that assesses the criticality of the risk. It is calculated by the multiplying the probability of occurrence by the impact in case of occurrence. The probability is rated on a scale of 1.5 (rare) to 5.5 (very likely), and impact on a scale of 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). The impact is assessed in eight dimensions - financial results, shareholder value, continuity of operations, environment, reputation, quality, people's health and safety, and human capital - according to the effects of risk materialisation.

The quantitative analysis is performed using the Expected Financial Impact (EFI) and allows risks to be prioritised according to their monetary impact. EFI is calculated by the financial impact of the risk (quantified in NPV or EBITDA) by probability.
The long-term nature of Galp's commercial operations means that many of the risks to which it is exposed may be considered permanent. However, the triggering factors for internal or external risks and opportunities may develop and evolve over time and may vary in probability, impact and detectability.
In addition to the main risks and opportunities inherent to Galp's activity, we have identified below the emerging risks, defined as those that (i) currently do not have a significant impact on the Company and that are highly uncertain due to the fact that their evolution is fast and non-linear or both; (ii) or even if they have already started to impact the Company's business, they will continue to have an impact in the long term and may materially influence Galp's business model. Appropriate mitigation measures are also identified below.
Inability to respond adequately and in a timely manner to climate change concerns could compromise Galp's long-term sustainability.

The potential impact and likelihood of the effects of climate change on Galp depend on the specific components of the risk:
The physical effects of climate change may cause damage or interruption and delay of operations of Galp's physical assets, some of which are located in regions subject to such phenomena.
The change in consumer behaviour will reduce O&G demand and potentially affect fossil fuels prices. New market trends require a reshaping of the business portfolio, with an increased focus on energy with lower GHG emissions.
Various environmental regulations, both European and national, trigger technological disruptions and innovations, namely electrification and hydrogen, which may profoundly affect the Oil & Gas sector, due to the large investments required to be compliant, but also the potential for anticipating losses in value in current assets, driving the creation of "stranded assets".
With public opinion, governments and customer preferences to favour companies that contribute to a more sustainable economy; with investors and other stakeholders exerting increasing pressure to decarbonise, Galp's positioning is under scrutiny, and inaction or delayed action could have a material impact on its competitiveness, results, financial performance and reputation and ultimately may compromise its long-term sustainability.
Galp addresses climate risk through its strategy to purposefully and profitably accelerate expansion of its renewable energy footprint, the development of biofuels and green hydrogen, among others, while focusing on the application of new technologies and best practices aimed at leveraging business transformation, adapting operations and increasing energy efficiency.
Climate risk management is supported by a Governance structure involving the Board, the Executive Committee, and the Sustainability and the Risk Management Committees, and by a set of standards and policies related to health, safety, security, environment and social issues. The risks and opportunities arising from climate change are addressed and incorporated into the strategic planning process, considering alternative scenarios and different time horizons.
Additionally, conscious of the future potential changes in regulation, consumer and technological patterns and the risks associated with long-term business plans when evaluating new project developments, expansions or upgrades of existing assets, Galp analyses possible GHG emissions along their value chain and considers an internal carbon price in the investment analysis that changes with time.
Galp believes that responding to the evolving risk landscape requires a transparent transition report of its current performance, as well as the establishment of long-term ambitions (such as becoming a net-zero emissions Company by 2050), but also mediumterm targets by 2030, namely:

A significant part of Galp's investments is focused on low- and no-carbon businesses, aligned with the Company's decarbonisation ambitions, but achieving a value-driven low carbon portfolio poses some challenges to Galp, namely the availability of required expertise, regulatory constraints and technological issues, which could threaten the Company's decarbonisation at the pace the market demands. |

the impact of price volatility and proactively, the resilience of new projects is assessed for a range of price and cost scenarios. |
|
| Additionally, the risk of volatility in commodities prices is partially mitigated through instruments available on the exchange and over-the-counter (OTC) markets. The management of these risks is set out in a specific risk policy, including hedging strategies and exposure limits, and a Strategic Hedging Programme is annually defined/revised. |

| The price of CO2 is also determined by fluctuations resulting from the dynamics of supply and demand or by changes in national and international legislation. |
Interest rate, foreign exchange rate and other financial risks are centrally managed through variable and fixed rate financial instruments and hedging derivatives. |
|
| Exchange rate fluctuations affect the Company´s revenue and therefore the results and the cash flow generated. The value of the Company's assets and financial investments, especially those denominated in U.S. dollars and Brazilian real, is influenced by exchange risk in Galp's consolidated financial statements in euros. |
The management and mitigation of this risk ensures compliance with the defined risk profile, with periodic reports being drawn up on the evolution of risk factors and hedging strategies. |
Interest rate volatility may affect Galp's financing costs and impact results.
Adverse changes in key market parameters may have a material adverse effect on Galp's assets value, results and financial performance.
In a market that is highly dependent on supply and demand, Galp's ability to adapt to new paradigms and react to competition is crucial for ensuring good financial performance and reaching strategic goals.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp operates in a market characterised by strong competition in all business segments and that is particularly exposed to the economic context, with supply and demand conditioned by the macro environment. Disruptive situations, namely pandemics such as COVID-19, or growing concerns about climate change, which favour energies with lower GHG emissions, affect global demand for oil and gas.

| operating efficiency; or if unable to recruit and retain talent. Changes in the business model paradigm and the intense competition to which Galp is subject may adversely affect its activity and financial performance. |
Besides, Galp has a solid capital structure and important competitive advantages, namely a long-standing presence and strong operational experience in the industry and markets where it operates, in addition to being a reference operator in Iberia, factors that give the Company resilience when faced with negative fluctuations in market conditions. |
In projects developed in partnership, Galp reduces its degree of control, but maintains exposure to risk.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Most of the projects developed by Galp in the various segments - Upstream, Renewables, Biofuels, Li-ion battery value chain and other business developments – rely on partnerships with other entities. |
For the mitigation of this risk, a rigorous selection of partners is critical. Galp performs a prior partner risk assessment involving various internal teams, namely the risk, cyber and compliance divisions, ensuring the selection of companies with high financial, |

them through multidisciplinary teams, and maintaining direct contact with and influence over partners that are mostly renowned international companies (as in the Upstream segment, for instance, where Galp is mainly non-operator), or companies that ensure alignment with Galp's standards in quality, social responsibility and health, safety, security and environment (HSSE), cyber and reputational criteria. |
| All these factors could compromise project execution and may have a material adverse effect on Galp's reputation, results and financial performance and, ultimately, interfere in the execution of Galp's strategy. |
Maintaining a high-value asset portfolio is essential for Galp's financial performance.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp's main assets and operations are mostly concentrated in Iberia and Brazil, and the supply of natural gas comes largely from Algeria and Nigeria, which creates a risk of dependence on these countries. In the case of Brazil and Algeria, the concentration risk is aggravated by the high political, regulatory and social risks of these geographies, which may cause instability, limitations or interruptions to Galp's operations, adversely affecting the Company's ability to develop its projects in a safe, reliable and profitable manner. |
To ensure the Company´s sustainability and generate sustainable value for its stakeholders in the long term, Galp is committed to diversifying its business portfolio to renewable energies and new businesses, in line with the energy transition, which includes both the diversification of technologies and the move to new geographies, reducing the Company's global risk and providing new sources of value. The geographies and assets concentration risk assessment also considers the risk profile of the alternatives. |
| Additionally, the still significant weight of the Oil & Gas segment in Galp's portfolio may represent an added challenge for Galp in the face of energy transition and the new demand paradigm. |
|
| These situations could have a material adverse effect on Galp's competitiveness, results, and financial performance. |
Tightening conditions for financing and insurance coverage of O&G projects could compromise the execution of Galp's strategy.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| To finance its investment plan, in addition to operating cash-flow, Galp uses other sources of external financing, namely bank loans and debt instruments, such as EMTN and commercial paper. Faced with increasing pressure both on investors to reduce their investments in fossil fuel companies and on commercial and investment banks to stop financing these companies, Galp could have greater difficulties in obtaining financing, hampering its ability to obtain the necessary funds to implement its strategy. |
Galp addresses this risk through its strategy of accelerating the transition to low-carbon energy. |
| By diversifying its financing portfolio and expanding its pool of creditors, Galp has access to a wider range of flexible financing products and structures, ensuring access to sufficient debt and financing sources to meet foreseeable commitments. |
|
| Moreover, insurers are showing less appetite for the O&G sector, avoiding quoting the inherent risks. This situation could have a material adverse effect on Galp's financial performance and on its ability to execute its strategy |
Galp also believes that it will be able to align its Insurance Programme with its business structure and risk appetite. |
Maintaining a high-value asset portfolio is essential for Galp's financial performance.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp holds a portfolio of high-value assets in the different business segments in which it operates. However, several factors, both internal and external, may affect Galp´s assets, their performance and value. Technical challenges and/or appraisal and development difficulties; Geopolitical, fiscal and regulatory risks (especially in geographies with an unstable legal framework); Failure to replace old or obsolete infrastructure or equipment; Incorrect evaluation of Oil & Gas reserves or recovery levels, are some of the issues that can affect the value of Galp's assets. |
Galp permanently monitors internal and external factors and their potential impacts on the Company's assets. |
| The internal teams and external auditors carry out surveys at Galp's facilities, identifying intervention needs. |
|
| Additionally, for the execution of its main projects, Galp participates in consortia that ensure the best practices and the use of the best technologies and knowledge, providing reasonable guarantees of successful execution and best operational standards. |
|
| Such issues could reduce Galp's balance sheet value and have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance. |
Proved reserves bookings are undertaken by a group of independent experts and analysed by Galp's Upstream team. |
Galp's portfolio reshaping strategy.
Failure to develop capital-efficient investment strategy in renewable energy and new businesses aligned with energy transition could compromise Galp's sustainable growth.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp is committed to reshaping its business portfolio, focusing on opportunities in renewable energy (particularly solar PV and wind) and new businesses (e.g., battery value chain and green hydrogen), in line with the energy transition, which captures synergies with other businesses, maximising value throughout the energy value chain. |
Aiming to ensure a portfolio capable of creating long-term sustainable value, Galp continuously evaluates new investment options and carries out stress tests to assess all business opportunities from a risk/return balancing perspective.

Failures in the efficiency and effectiveness of operations can jeoperdise Galp's competitive positioning and compromise its long-term sustainability.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp believes that its long-term sustainability depends on its ability to strengthen its position as a global integrated energy Company that develops profitable and sustainable businesses, with the aim of creating value for its stakeholders, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and applicable regulations.

Repair and maintenance should be a focus of attention by the Company, as failures at this level can lead to limitations in the use of infrastructure, namely refineries, resulting in lower product reliability or reduction/stoppages in production; operational failures in industrial facilities or units, with impacts on safety, health, and the environment; an increase in investment costs and expenses. |
In addition, and within the scope of Galp's insurance system, it transfers, among others, civil liability, business interruption and environmental liability to the insurance market, in order to mitigate the impact of this risk. |

The failure to react effectively to crisis situations or disruptions may jeoperdise the continuity of operations and be damaging to Galp's reputation and shareholder value.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| The nature, complexity, and diversity of Galp's operations expose the Company to a broad range of disruptive risks. |
Disruptive risks factors are managed and mitigated, firstly, through the adoption of the best practices in terms of security and business continuity policies, as well as operating rules and procedures. |
| This risk category includes operating contingencies related to the characteristics of Galp's | |
| activities; acute physical risks (natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods) and chronic risks (successive drought and change of precipitation patterns); information system failures; security (civil disorder, war and terrorism); and cybersecurity risks. |
Galp's Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) aims to enhance the Company's resilience in case of disruptions or crisis situations, facilitating the recovery of critical activities, and ensuring that the supply of products and services is restored to a minimum level within a pre-defined period of time after any disruption, minimising its |

Galp's BCMS, applied across the Group, comprises the Business Continuity Policy, the Business Continuity Management Standard and the Crisis Management Response |
| These disruptive events may give rise to incidents that disrupt or threaten Galp's critical business processes and may have an impact on human resources, the environment, the value of assets and results and, ultimately, on its business continuity and the achievement of Galp's mission. Any disruptive business event, even if anticipated, may have unpredictable consequences, and it is, therefore, essential to ensure the ability to recover critical processes, with the necessary efficiency, to minimise negative impacts. |
Structure Standard, as well as 16 continuity plans, including the Crisis Management Plan, the Crisis Communication Plan and the Disaster Recovery Plan. |
| The Crisis Management Plan is used to effectively respond to any crisis situation, including cyber-attacks on Galp's information systems (cyber incidents that can paralyze critical business processes) in addition to the Cyber Resilience Roadmap, in progress. |
|
| In 2021 Galp performed an evaluation of its climate-related risks, including acute and | |
| chronic physical risks. This assessment identified the variables with the highest possible impact on infrastructure and operations and resulted in a preliminary mitigation plan. |
|
Additionally, Galp has a wide range of insurance policies (essentially, civil liability, Business Interruption and environmental liability) that allow mitigating the impact of any major incident.
Galp's organic growth and results are dependent on the execution of its main investment projects.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| The execution of the projects in which Galp is involved is exposed to a range of risks (market, liquidity, political, legal, regulatory, technical, commercial, climate and others) that may compromise their execution within budget and deadlines, compliance with the defined specifications and their operational reliability. |
At Galp, a project's final investment decision is based on feasibility studies, carried out by multidisciplinary teams, including an integrated assessment of the main risks that may impact execution and mitigation measures to protect the future execution of the project. |
| Additionally, if the assumptions or information used for the evaluation and sanctioning of projects prove to be wrong, the decisions taken may be incorrect. |
The project execution is continuously monitored, enabling the identification of risks that may cause deviations from the initial planning, and the implementation of corrective measures, if needed. |
| The execution of the projects also depends on the performance of third parties, including partners, suppliers, service providers and other contracted parties over which Galp has limited control, and which may bring additional risks to the execution of the project, namely financial, compliance and cyber risks. |
Furthermore, as a result of the analysis process carried out by the consortium entities, Galp establishes partnerships with sector-leading companies, with extensive project knowledge and experience, which helps to mitigate the risk of project execution |
| Any event that prevents the execution of the best projects under the best technical and financial conditions could impact the value of Galp's assets and results. |
underperformance. Galp develops a careful selection and contracting process for partners, suppliers, service |
| providers and other third parties, which combines operational, cybersecurity, compliance and EQS and sustainability criteria, thus mitigating the risk of project execution. |
|
A significant part of the remaining risk is transferred, through a comprehensive set of insurance policies (essentially regarding property damage, third-party liability and the environment), to insurance companies, mitigating the impact of major accidents/claims.
Legal and regulatory changes may alter the business context in which Galp operates.
Legal risks associated with the potential breach of contract by Galp's counterparties within the scope of the various projects and transactions in progress are also transversal
A change in legal frameworks or any misbehaviour, irregularity (actual or alleged) or lack of compliance with those frameworks by the Company, its employees, governing bodies, suppliers/service providers or counterparties may have a negative impact on Galp's activity, adversely affecting its results, financial performance and reputation.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp is subject to a wide range of international laws and standards or those of the various countries in which it operates, whether industry-specific, or transversal (e.g., competition laws, data protection laws, anti-bribery, tax-evasion, and anti-money laundering laws). Part of Galp's activity (namely in the Upstream, Energy management and downstream business) is carried out in emerging, or developing economies, with a relatively unstable legal and regulatory framework, which can lead to legislative and regulatory changes that Galp is required to comply with and may alter the business context in which the Company operates. |
The risk of the legal and regulatory framework is proactively managed by Galp as part of the investment assessment process. An investment decision is reviewed by multidisciplinary teams within the Company, namely the Legal Department, which also provides active legal advice in the negotiation process, ensuring appropriate management of the actual and potential risks. |
| This risk is continuously monitored after an investment decision is made, in order to assess any changes in law or regulation in the country where the asset is located, and to recurrently evaluate legal and contractual mechanisms that allow avoiding and/or mitigating such risks. |
|
| The Company's downstream and renewables activities in Iberia are also subject to political, legislative and regulatory risks, particularly with regard to regulatory and competition laws issues. |
Impacts are assessed and decisions are taken to protect Galp and its stakeholders' interests. |
to Galp's activities.
Failure to comply with industry laws, regulations and ESG disclosure could have adverse effects on Galp's reputation and financial performance.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Within the enormous regulatory framework to which Galp is subject, there is a large scope of legislation relating to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, which are gaining prominence within the stakeholder community. An increasing number of ESG rating agencies, investor groups or climate initiatives assess companies' ESG performance, demanding commitments and actions and identifying "pain points" and making the assessment publicly available. Also, in terms of ESG, there are new legislative proposals and policy initiatives (e.g., EU Taxonomy, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, Fit for 55) with an impact on Galp's activities. Galp either already acts or is preparing to act in accordance with all these standards, laws, and regulations. However, any lack of compliance with ESG laws and standards, or failure to respond to ESG topics may result in regulatory investigations, litigation and, ultimately, sanctions, having adverse effects on the Company's investment case and reputation. |
Galp continually assesses the impact of upcoming ESG regulation through its Compliance and Sustainability teams and the Sustainability Committee, with Board oversight, to anticipate a response strategy to ensure compliance with any new rules and targets. Compliance with Galp Decarbonisation Roadmap framework and its targets are also subject to ongoing scrutiny. Just like it does in regard to compliance with other standards and policies, Galp will now conduct ESG compliance due diligences on its most relevant business partners, service providers and suppliers prior to engaging in transactions with them, in order to ensure that these entities also have adequate and effective policies and procedures on this topic. |
An erosion of our reputation could have a material adverse effect on Galp's strategy due to greater difficulty in accessing capital and financial markets, attracting clients, and employees.

customers to obtain more information about society's expectations of its business. Additionally, Galp has mitigation plans for the various risks identified above that may have a potential impact on reputation. |
Guaranteeing Galp's cyber and digital resilience is essential, given that a potential breach of digital security or failure of Galp's digital infrastructure may impair the availability of our services and operations, increase costs and impact Galp's reputation.
Most of Galp's processes rely heavily on digital systems and data. Any breach in the security of those systems, whether accidental (due to network, hardware or software failures), or resulting from intentional actions (cybercrime), or negligence (internal or due to service providers), can have extremely negative impacts for Galp, its customers and suppliers.
There has been an exponential increase, both in volume and in sophistication, in Cybercrime in recent years, with an emphasis on criminal activities aimed at organisations that exploit weaknesses in their systems, people, and processes, with the objective of stealing sensitive data and/or halting operations to subsequently demand large financial bailouts.
Breaches or disruptions of critical digital systems may compromise the normal development of Galp's activities and, if not detected early and responded to effectively, can cause disruptions, or affect the quality of its operations; damage its reputation by the eventual loss, violation, misuse or abuse of personal and/or confidential data; cause loss of life, damage to the environment or to Company assets; and result in legal or regulatory non-compliance, with possible fines or any other type of penalties.
All of these scenarios can have a material adverse effect on Galp's reputation, results and financial performance.
Galp mitigates this risk through its Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Management System, which ensures the Identification, Protection, Detection and Response/Recovery of cyber threats and risks in the Company (in its systems, people and processes), in all Group companies and everywhere it operates.
To identify cyber risks, a set of technical and procedural measures has been implemented with the aim of ensuring visibility of possible weaknesses in Galp's digital systems and those of its service providers, as well as their follow-up until mitigation.
Regular assessments are carried out, either to simulate external attacks or to validate the adequacy of measures against Galp's policies.
A set of measures and mechanisms considered appropriate to the type of Galp's cyber threats has been implemented, for the protection and timely detection of cyber threats, in order to guarantee the protection of our systems, people and processes, continually adapting and adjusting these measures.
In terms of response, Galp, through its CSIRT (Cyber Security Incident Response Team), ensures a 24/7 response capability to cyber incidents, thus ensuring its resilience through coordinating the response to incidents that affect the organisation, and the identification and monitoring of lessons learned, as a way of continuously improving the organisation's cyber security.
Galp continues to implement improvements identified during the global and holistic Cybersecurity maturity assessment developed in 2019.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several initiatives were launched to raise awareness among employees to the cyber threats that emerged in this context, as well as public alerts to customers and society in general, regarding situations in which cyber criminals tried to take advantage of Galp's reputation for carrying out cyber fraud attempts.
Failure to identify and integrate technological developments could jeopardise Galp's competitive position.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| The ongoing digital transformation is also visible in the Oil & Gas industry, which is exploring ways to digitise, automate and solve complex industry challenges (either in platforms and refineries associated with traditional businesses, or in energy production projects from renewable energies or other new businesses such as green hydrogen), and also transversal issues (e.g. development of new practices that accelerate the processing times and reduce manual work). |
Galp mitigates this risk by promoting digital transformation projects that provide the business units with objective and actionable intelligence, allowing them to process know how and accelerate business transformation and efficiency. |
||
| In addition, Galp is committed to accelerating the development of data science skills with a view to capturing value from data and generating business impact and to promoting a culture of data and common literacy across the Company. |
|||
| Failure to adopt new and innovative technologies could have significant impacts on Galp's operations. |
|||
| There would be an underutilisation of real-time data collection between facilities and geographies if Galp were not able to use the Internet of Things (IoT); Galp would have lack of customer knowledge if it does not use Big Data & Analytics; less predictive and cognitive analytics without Artificial Intelligence (AI); and lower efficiency and higher probability of human-induced errors without Robotics and Automation (R&A). |
|||
| The failure to identify and integrate new trends and technological innovations would affect Galp's efficiency and its competitive position and could result in a material adverse effect on its results and financial performance. |

Galp is an integrated energy operator present in several geographies and is exposed to internal/external factors that bring uncertainty to its performance and the achievement of its strategic objectives.
The Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors establishes objectives, processes and responsibilities, which enable Galp to ensure a solid risk management structure.
Based on the guidelines established in the Risk Management Policy, Galp identifies, assesses and manages the risks and opportunities inherent to its strategy, including emerging risks and opportunities.
Galp's risk management approach is based on three general macro-activities as shown in the diagram below.

In its strategic planning process, Galp identifies the key risks and opportunities – classified by nature: strategic, financial, operational, legal and governance, IT systems and people – and incorporates them into its business models to provide a set of future alternative scenarios that ensure the construction of a more resilient portfolio.
Climate-related risks are identified and assessed for all business units and geographies on an annual basis using scenario-based modelling. These have been identified as strategic risks for the Company and are closely evaluated and monitored and their impact in its operations and value at risk is to be quantified regularly from 2021 onwards.
This analysis involved an alignment of Galp's corporate risk and opportunities dictionary with the categories recommended by the TCFD, the definition of a complete scenario framework considering physical and transition scenarios, with sufficient diversification between them and considering a well-bellow 2°C scenario. The main physical and commercial variables were estimated for each scenario, followed by the evaluation of risk parameters by scenario and time horizon. Finally the expected loss and the climate value at risk were calculated and disaggregated at the level of the different businesses and consolidated at the group level, considering the existing correlation between the different risks, opportunities and geographies.
The analysis is performed on short, medium and long-term time horizons to ensure these risks are captured and assessed on a time scale compatible with the one of climatic evolution and long-term Company strategy.
The identification and assessment of climate risks aims to test the resilience of the Company's strategy to different climate scenarios and integrate the most relevant associated risks in the risk management framework.
The Risk Management Policy establishes Galp's commitment to managing its inherent risk exposure in line with the Company's Risk Appetite, thus ensuring compliance with legislative, regulatory and ethical conduct requirements.
The Board of Directors approves, on an annual basis, a Risk Appetite Statement, which is reviewed each year to incorporate any changes in strategy and context. The definition of the risk appetite provides the performance boundaries around the organisation's strategic objectives and helps leaders to make informed decisions and appropriate trade-offs.
At the Board of Directors' meeting on December 16, 2021, the Board approved the Risk Appetite Statement regarding the risk underlying the 2022-2032 Budget and Plan proposed by the Risk Management & Internal Control Department.
Additionally, the Risk Management & Internal Control Department tests the various business models underlying the Budget & Plan process, by stressing the volatility of the identified KRIs and obtaining both a holistic view of Galp's
portfolio returns (Sharpe Ratio) and of its value at risk (V@R) in an 'As Is' and 'To Be' approach.
For the 2022-2032 Budget and Plan, the Risk Management & Internal Control Department submitted this analysis together with the Risk Appetite Statement to the Executive Committee, the Risk Management Committee, the Board of Directors and the Audit Board. This activity allows an overview of the portfolio from a risk-return perspective.
Every quarter, the Risk Management & Internal Control Department, based on the impact/probability matrices of the organisational units, reassesses Galp's overall risk matrix and the main mitigation measures and reports them to the Executive Committee, the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Board. This enables awareness of the main risks and opportunities by means of a topdown and bottom-up assessment.
The Risk Management & Internal Control Department, together with the LROs (Local Risk Officers), continuously monitors the KRIs and reports their progress to the Risk Management Committee on a quarterly basis.
Mitigation actions to such risks are established whenever necessary.
On a monthly basis, the Risk Management & Internal Control Department checks on the implementation of risk mitigation actions and every quarter, reports their status to the Executive Committee, the Risk Management Committee and to the Audit Board.
Galp classifies risks by response categories defined to ensure that risks are within the guidelines issued by the Board of Directors or the Executive
Committee in terms of risk limits and tolerances, depending on whether it is decided to avoid, transfer, reduce or accept the risk.
Galp's Risk Management Committee and Audit Board oversee the risk management process.
The information reported each quarter by the Risk Management & Internal Control Department to the Risk Management Committee (reassessment of risk matrix and status of mitigation actions) allows this Committee to supervise, audit and realign the risk management process.
The main decisions and activities performed by the Risk Management Committee are reported quarterly to the Audit Board.
The Internal Audit Department conducts an annual audit of the risk management process and makes recommendations whenever it considers that improvements are necessary. The recommendations of the 2018 audit have been closed, and a new audit was conducted in 2021.
Galp has drafted and implemented rules and procedures that are applicable to the control activities for preparing and reporting financial information. It prepares its accounts in compliance with the IFRS accounting standards approved by the European Union. In order to deal with any situations that are Information on the company's shareholding structure, organisation and corporate

In relation to the half-yearly and annual accounts, the documents are sent to the Board of Directors and the Audit Board for approval before they are disclosed.
Galp has a plan to review, systematise and document its internal control system with respect to financial reporting, to strengthen mitigating controls on financial reporting risk and thus preserve itself as a reference entity regarding the reliability of its financial reporting.
In 2018, Galp developed and implemented an information system for monitoring the registration of insiders and people with access to such information (permanent and occasional insiders), including financial information, which meets the requirements arising from the recent European legislative reform in this area (Market Abuse Regulation).

66. Details of the power to set the remuneration of the corporate bodies, the members of the Executive Committee or the Chief Executive Officer and the officers of the Company.
The Remuneration Committee is the corporate body responsible for setting the amounts of remuneration payable to the members of Galp's corporate bodies and its Executive Committee, on the basis of the remuneration policy in force, approved by the General Meeting on 23 April 2021. The Remuneration Committee comprises three shareholders elected at the General Meeting who are not members of the Board of Directors or the Audit Board, pursuant to Article 8 of the By-laws, which states that those positions are incompatible.
Under Article 29-R(3) of the Portuguese Securities Code, the only persons who are classified as senior executives of Galp are the members of the Board of Directors and of the Audit Board.
67. Composition of the Remuneration Committee, including details of any natural or legal persons that have been recruited to provide services to it and a statement on the independence of each member and advisor.
Galp's current Remuneration Committee was elected for the 2019-2022 term at the General Meeting of 12 April 2019 and has the following members:
Member Joaquim Hierro Lopes was present at the 2021 Annual General Meeting in order to provide information or clarifications to shareholders on remuneration matters.
The fact that the non-executive directors – Paula Amorim, Marta Amorim, Francisco Teixeira Rêgo, Rui Paulo Gonçalves and Jorge Seabra – are members of Amorim Energia's Board of Directors does not affect their independence as members of the Remuneration Committee, since these members, individually or together, do not have the complete autonomy to make the decisions of the Board of Directors of Amorim Energia.
The Remuneration Committee Regulations set down an obligation for its members to promptly inform that body of any facts that may constitute or give D. Remuneration
rise to a conflict of interest between the interests of the member in question and the Company's interests.
In addition, the Company approved internal regulations which are applicable, among others, to the members of the Remuneration Committee and which establish that members who have been identified as being in a conflict of interest must refrain from discussing, voting, making decisions, giving opinions, taking part in or exerting any influence on any decision-making process directly related to this conflict of interest, except for providing any necessary information or clarifications.
In 2021, the Remuneration Committee held six meetings and minutes were drawn up of these meetings.
In 2021, the Remuneration Committee did not engage any consultancy services, despite having that possibility when it considers it necessary, under Article 6 (3) of its Regulations and subject to the applicable conditions.
The members of the Remuneration Committee are familiar with remuneration policy matters owing to their academic background and extensive corporate experience. They are therefore considered suitable for discussing and deciding on all the matters that fall within the remit of the Remuneration Committee, as evidenced by their biographical data in Appendix 2 to this report.
Specifically, Remuneration Committee member Jorge Armindo Carvalho Teixeira has a long professional record that includes working in listed companies and holding management positions, including as chair, which has given him the appropriate knowledge about remuneration issues for corporate bodies in this type of company.
69. Description of the remuneration policy for the Board of Directors and Audit Board provided for in Article 2 of Law No. 28/2009 of 19 June.
The new Remuneration Policy of the governing bodies was submitted by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the General Meeting on 23 April 2021, outlining the processes for setting and implementing Galp's remuneration policy for 2021, as well as its general objectives and principles, in accordance with Law 50/2020, of 25 August and CMVM Regulation No. 4/2013 – which also takes into account the PICG Corporate Governance Code. This policy is available on Galp's website at:
https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/TC/Politica%20de%20Remuneracoes%20 (EN).pdf
The 2021 Remuneration Policy for executive directors maintains the principles of the remuneration policy for the 2019-2022 term of office.
Galp is now required to produce under the new article 26-G of the Portuguese Securities Code, specific information on the remuneration structure of the members of the company´s corporate bodies. Reference is made to the fact that Galp approved its first remuneration policy under article 26-B in 2021 hence remunerations paid in 2021 and herein reported should be analysed in this context.
Taking into consideration that this is the first year that Galp produces and submits to the General Meeting the information required under article 26-G of the Portuguese Securities Code, it´s not possible to comply with the last part of the referred article.bIn any case, the remuneration policy, as per article 26-B of the Portuguese Securities Code, was approved in the Annual General Meeting of 2021, with a clear majority of 98.88% of the issued votes. Hence, shareholders were in general satisfied with the terms of the remuneration policy.
A brief description of Galp's Remuneration Policy in 2021 is provided below.
D. Remuneration
Non-executive members - fixed monthly sum set by the Remuneration Committee in line with standard market practices and paid twelve times a year. This may be different in the case of the Chair of the Board of Directors in recognition of his/ her special duties to represent the Company and in the case of the non executive members of the Board of Directors who have special supervisory and monitoring duties or integrate specialised committees.
The remuneration of the non-executive members of the Board of Directors does not include any amounts based on the performance or value of the Company.
Executive members - the remuneration of the executive members in 2021 included two components:
Fixed remuneration - monthly amount, paid fourteen times a year, set by the Remuneration Committee, taking into account the nature of the assigned duties and responsibilities and market practices for equivalent positions in comparable domestic and international companies.
Variable remuneration – dependent upon the achievement of certain economic, financial, operational and sustainability goals with a view of creating a competitive remuneration framework and implementing a system of rewards that ensures the alignment of the interest of the executive management with the interests of the Company and their respective stakeholders, from a long-term economic and financial sustainability perspective and which in turn is divided into:
a) Annual variable remuneration – the maximum potential cap represents 60% of the total variable remuneration, with the amount being set in line with the following indicators:
Three-yearly variable remuneration – the maximum potential cap represents 60% of the total variable remuneration, with the amount being set in line with the following indicators:
This policy contributes to the achievement of the Company's strategy by defining assessment criteria (indicators defined by the Remuneration Committee) aligned with the Company's strategic goals, as detailed below:
• Cash Flow from Operations (annual and multi year); Energy Production Growth (annual); ROACE (multiyear); TSR vs. Peer Group (multi-year):
Indicators' targets based on Business Plan: to scale-up Galp's renewables business, to deliver growth from upstream assets and accelerate the transformation of industrial and commercial activities, both underpinning a balanced capital allocation framework to enhance its portfolio, and deliver a competitive shareholder return
• Carbon Intensity Index (annual); Total Recordable Injury Rate (annual):
Indicators linked to the Internal Sustainability Strategic Plan and external commitments to accelerate Galp's decarbonisation path and to increase security awareness, ensuring a low risk level and the safety of people, the environment, and assets.
The above-mentioned indicators constitute 65% of the applicable annual and three-year variable remuneration. The remaining 35% of each variable remuneration component comes from the result of the Remuneration Committee's qualitative appraisal of the executive directors' annual activity or over the relevant three-year period, as the case may be, considering a holistic vision of the achieved results, as well as the context in which the results were achieved.
The amount of annual variable remuneration for each year is determined by the Remuneration Committee in accordance with the achievement of specific previously defined goals, with the maximum potential cap of 60% of the total annual fixed remuneration for each variable remuneration component. This is in line with the generally recognised practice in the Portuguese market and internationally and is considered to represent a reasonable proportion between the variable annual fixed remuneration components.
In addition to the remuneration, benefits and conditions applicable to the other Executive Directors, the remuneration of the Chair of the Executive Committee of Galp is part of a long-term incentive through the right to a set of Galp shares, attributable after 3 years, as mentioned in the chapter 73 below.

The executive members of the Board of Directors are entitled to a retirement savings plan or other similar financial product paid by Galp.
Each executive member of the Board of Directors also receives the fringe benefits available at Galp for the corresponding position, in accordance with the Company's terms and conditions, including the use of a vehicle and paid health and life insurance, more fully detailed in the Remuneration Policy.
For executive directors whose permanent residence is outside the area where the Company is based, the Remuneration Committee sets a housing allowance.
In the case of a court ruling against one or more members of the Executive Committee for unlawful action which results or has resulted in a restatement or impairment of the financial statements in terms detrimental to the Company, the Remuneration Committee may ask the Board of Directors to adopt the adequate measures to clawback the variable remuneration paid to the member or members in question that it deems appropriate for the period of the said unlawful action.
Without prejudice to the information contained in item 80 below related to amounts paid to directors as compensations for early termination from office, there were no divergent situations from the rules for implementing the remuneration policy.
The remuneration of the members of the Audit Board consists of a fixed monthly sum paid twelve times a year, with the Chair of the Audit Board receiving higher remuneration by virtue of the special duties performed in that office.
The remuneration of the Audit Board members does not include a variable component.
The Statutory Auditor is remunerated for the review and legal certification of the Company accounts in the amount established by contract in accordance with normal market conditions.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Meeting is a fixed annual sum set by the Remuneration Committee, which is different for the Chair, Vice-Chair and the Secretary. It is based on the Company's financial position and market practices.
70. Information on how remuneration is structured so as to enable the interests of the members of the Board of Directors to be aligned with the Company's longterm objectives, as well as information on how it is based on the performance appraisal and how it discourages excessive risk-taking.
In order to achieve greater alignment between the activities of the directors and the Company's long-term objectives, a policy for establishing multi-annual goals was introduced in 2012, reinforced in 2019 and maintained in 2020 and 2021.
According to the remuneration policy described in Section 69 of this report, the variable remuneration of directors holding executive positions includes both
annual and three-year variable components, with the same weighting (each with a potential cap of 60% of the total annual fixed remuneration).
This weighting is based on the performance appraisal conducted by the Remuneration Committee using specific, measurable and pre-defined criteria which, together, take into account the Company's sustainability and growth indicators and the wealth that has been created for shareholders in a sustained manner over the short, medium and long term, with a three-year time lag in relation to the year in question in the case of the multi-annual component, under the terms of the 2021 Remuneration Policy described above.
Accordingly, the use of qualitative criteria oriented towards a strategic mediumterm perspective in the development of the Company, the three-year period used for setting the multi-annual variable remuneration amount and the existence of a cap on variable remuneration are all key elements in fostering management that is aligned with the medium and long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The executive members of the Board of Directors may not enter into contracts, either with the Company or with third parties, which have the effect of
mitigating the risk inherent to the variable remuneration set for them by the Company.
In addition, the remuneration of the Chair of the Executive Committee of Galp includes a long-term incentive through the right to a set of Galp shares, attributable after 3 years. Taking into consideration the remuneration structure described above, particularly the balance between fixed and variable remuneration, the existence of both annual and three-year variable remuneration and the criteria for determining the variable remuneration, Galp considers that its remuneration mechanism permits an alignment between the interests of the Company and those of its executive directors by incentivising long-term sustainable growth and avoiding short-termism as well as excessive risk taking.
The table hereunder provides the annual change in the remuneration of directors, company performance and average remuneration of employees during the last five financial years as referred in the article 26.º-G (2) (c) of the Portuguese Securities Code:

7There are no employees in the Company.
The total variable remuneration for each year is set by the Remuneration Committee based on the fulfilment of pre-defined indicators.
The above-mentioned indicators constitute 65% of the applicable annual and three-year variable remuneration.
The remaining 35% of each variable remuneration component comes from the result of the Remuneration Committee's qualitative appraisal of the executive directors' annual activity or over the relevant three-year period, as the case may be, within the context of appropriate carbon-intensity management.
In order to ensure consistency between the release of cash flow and the total variable remuneration paid, this is dependent on Galp's cash flow from operations. Thus, if the Company has a CFFO lower than 80% of the targets for the respective year, no variable remuneration will be paid.
The three-year variable remuneration represents a potential cap of 50% of the total variable remuneration, which is in line with generally recognised practices in the national market and with the applicable framework for banking institutions laid down in Annex II(1)(n) of Directive 2011/61/EU, of 8 June 2011, which sets a minimum amount of 40% for deferred variable remuneration. The remuneration of the Chairman of the Executive Committee of Galp also includes a long-term incentive as mentioned in chapter 73.
The determination of the annual and the three-year variable remuneration may consider adjustments that are reasonable regarding exogenous factors and unforeseen economic decisions, as well as those necessary to ensure comparability, that is appropriate to encourage management objectives, as previously defined by the Remuneration Committee.
Considering the context of a sharp decrease in demand and a lower, and more volatile, commodity macro environment in 2020, a calibrator was applied to the CFFO 80% requirement mentioned above.
In 2021, no variable remuneration has been reclaimed under the clawback provision provided for in the remuneration policy. (article 26-G b) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
In order to best stimulate the alignment of the executive directors' practices with the Company's long-term sustainable interests, a multi-annual objective policy was introduced in 2012 to come into force in 2013. This policy defers, for a period of three years, a significant portion of the variable remuneration payment, which remains associated with and dependent on the performance of the Company during this period and is in line with Recommendation V.2.8. of the PICG Code, which also recommends a payment deferral of three years.
Each year, objectives are set for the following three-year period, with the threeyear appraisal being made at the end of each three-year period. The first threeyear period for which multi-annual objectives were set was 2013–2015. In 2021, the 2018–2020 three-year period was assessed, and no remuneration was attributed or paid.
The three-yearly variable remuneration is set annually by the Remuneration Committee, which establishes a provisional amount based on an assessment of each year of the three-year period. However, the actual deferred amount of the three-year variable remuneration depends on: (I) the fulfilment of the overall objectives for the three-year period in question; and (II) a qualitative appraisal conducted by the Remuneration Committee, which means that the provisional amounts set in the first year of the three-year period may be reduced or increased at the end of the three-year period in question, as a result of the appraisal.
73. Criteria on which the allocation of variable remuneration in shares is based, as well as the criteria for the executive directors to keep these shares and for entering into contracts in respect of these shares, including hedging or risk transfer contracts, the corresponding limit and the proportional relationship to the total annual remuneration.
The remuneration of the Chairman of the Executive Committee of Galp also includes a long-term incentive through the right to receive for free an amount of Galp shares, attributable after 3 years.
In 2021, no shares have been attributed, considering shares will only be provisionally attributed in 2022 with reference to 2021.
Please see below a summary of the conditions to the exercise of the right to receive shares in the future.
The number of shares provisionally allocated in each year will be calculated based on the average price of Galp shares in Euronext Lisbon during the 10 (ten) business days following the announcement to the market of the results of the preceding tax year, with the overall nominal value of these shares being equivalent to 60% of the gross annual fixed remuneration of the Chairman of the Executive Committee of Galp.
The number of shares effectively attributed, at the end of the 3-year period, will be calculated by multiplying the number of provisional shares attributed by a performance factor, graded from 0 to 2.25, based on the following 3 categories, all with the same relative weight:
(i) Total Shareholder Return (TSR);
Information on the company's shareholding structure, organisation and corporate
governance D. Remuneration
Performance is evaluated, regarding the first category, by applying a compound formula that considers the variation of the Galp share price and the value of dividends distributed per share over the 3 reference years. The evaluation of the second category, in turn, is carried out by comparing the performance of the Company in the two sub-indicators with the aforementioned Peer Group. Finally, the assessment of the third category is made by reference to the CO2 intensity reduction goals in force.
If the TSR is negative at the end of the 3-year period, the long-term incentive will not be due. The value of the long-term incentive that is calculated may be liquidated through the delivery of shares or in cash, being, in any case, increased by an amount equivalent to the dividends distributed, by reference to the 3 years in question, corresponding to the number of shares effectively allocated.
In addition to the long-term incentive of the Chairman of the Executive Committee, Galp Remuneration Policy in 2021 sets out that the payment of variable remuneration to the remaining executive directors may be partially carried out through shares or stock options plans, or other payment methods, to be approved in internal regulations by the Remuneration Committee, which in the first case must establish, among other things, the number of shares or stock options granted, and the main conditions for the exercise of the respective rights, including the price and date of that exercise and any change in those conditions. No plans have been approved until this moment and
therefore no remuneration in shares is for the moment applicable to other executive directors.
74. Criteria on which the allocation of variable remuneration in options is based and the details of the deferral period and price at which these are exercised.
Galp currently has no system for allocating variable remuneration in options or other financial instruments directly or indirectly depending on its value.
Galp has no established annual bonus scheme apart from the variable remuneration described above.
Executive directors are entitled to the use of a car and to health and life insurance, as also described above.
The Remuneration Committee, under Article 8 of the By-laws, has the power to approve the pension or additional pension that is attributed to the executive directors and paid by the Company.
The 2021 Remuneration Policy approved by the General Meeting and described in Section 69 of this report provides for a savings retirement product or other similar financial product to be attributed through a payment to be made by Galp.
This savings plan entails no future costs for Galp as it consists only of an amount to be attributed for financial investment for so long as the members of the Executive Committee hold office and it does not fall within Article 402(1) of the CSC.
77. Details of the amount of annual remuneration earned, in total and individually, by the members of the Board of Directors and paid by the Company, including fixed and variable remuneration and, as regards the latter, the different components that gave rise to the same.
This section refers to article 26-G(2)(a) of the Portuguese Securities Code and includes all remuneration effectively paid in 2021, as per the table below:

1Considering the assessment of the performance indicators for the multiannual 2018-2020 variable remuneration approved by the Remuneration Committee, no payment was due to the executive directors with reference to this component. 2Under "Others" are included pensions and benefits such as house allowance, executive directors and severance amounts paid in 2021 to the four executive directors who resigned in 2021: (i) Carlos Gomes da Silva: €3,750,000.00; (ii) José Carlos Silva: €900,000.00; (iii) Sofia Tenreiro: € 450,000.00 (to this amount will accrue in 2022 €450,000.00); and (iv) Susana Quintana-Plaza: € 487,862.33 (to this amount will accrue in 2022 487,862.33).

3Considering the overall economic context related to the covid-19 pandemic and its effects on the economy and for the purposes set out in article 26-G(2)(g) of the Portuguese Securities Code, the CFFO criteria has been subject to specific adjustments as foreseen in the remuneration policy.

1 The Chair of the Board of Directors donated the full amount of her remuneration to the Galp Foundation.
2 The figure shown includes correction payment for the amount due for 2020.
The remuneration of Galp directors includes all the remuneration owed in respect of their positions on the board of directors of Galp Group companies. Accordingly, no amounts were paid in this respect by companies in a control or group relationship or under common control.
Galp has no other remuneration system for its directors in the form of profitsharing and/or payments of bonuses.
The remuneration policy makes no provision for an indemnity or severance pay to be awarded to directors for termination of their duties, without prejudice to the laws in force on this matter and, therefore, no director may claim a larger amount of compensation or indemnity than that resulting from the provisions of the law.
The Remuneration Policy and the resolutions of the Remuneration Committee are the appropriate and necessary legal instruments for determining the nonclaimable nature of such amounts.
During 2021, four executive directors – Carlos Gomes da Silva, Carlos Silva, Sofia Tenreiro and Susana Quintana-Plaza – terminated their duties by resignation ahead of the end of the current 2019-2022 term of office. Further to such resignations, a termination agreement was executed with each of the directors on the amounts to be paid. These amounts are included under "others" in the table included in section 77 above and detailed in the respective note and should be considered regarding the provision of the article 26-G(2)(g) of the Portuguese Securities Code.
The aggregate remuneration paid to the members of the Audit Board in 2021, as per the terms set by the Remuneration Committee, was €144,000.
The individual remuneration amounts paid in 2021 to the current members of the Audit Board were as follows:
| Name/Position | Gross fixed remuneration (€) |

| José Pereira Alves (Chair) | 60,000 |
| Maria de Fátima Geada (Member) | 42,000 |

2 No employees in the company.
In 2021, the Chair of the Board of the General Meeting received €3,000 in remuneration.
83. Any established contractual limits on the indemnity payable for the unfair dismissal of directors and its relationship with the variable component of the remuneration.
In accordance with the 2021 remuneration policy, Galp has no agreements in place that provide for payments in the event of the unfair dismissal of a director. The amounts due are determined by the applicable statutory provisions, but no remuneration is paid in respect of the variable component if the cash flow from operations of the Galp Group is below 80% of the annual target.

Galp is not a party to any agreement with the members of the Board of Directors or senior managers, within the meaning of Article 29-R (3) of the Portuguese Securities Code, which provides for a future severance pay in the event of resignation, unfair dismissal or termination of the employment relationship following a change in the control of the Company.

With reference to the above-mentioned mechanism applicable to the Chairman of the Executive Committee for partial payment of the long-term incentive through shares of the Company: the shares will be received (and can only be transferred) at the end of the three-year plan and after the performance evaluation.
In addition to the long-term incentive of the Chair of the Executive Committee, the payment of the remaining variable remuneration may be partially carried out through shares or stock options plans, or other payment methods, to be approved in internal regulations by the Remuneration Committee, which in the first case must establish, among other things, the number of shares or stock options granted, and the main conditions for the exercise of the respective rights, including the price and date of that exercise and any change in those conditions. However, no plan has been approved yet.
Galp has no share option plans.

In order to safeguard the Galp Group's interests in situations involving potential conflicts of interest, Galp has adopted internal rules for controlling transactions between Galp (or its subsidiaries or other companies which are under its management control, i.e. "Galp Group entities") and related parties in order to comply with the relevant accounting standards, in particular IAS 24 and Law 50/2020, of 25 August.
These internal procedures impose the following principles:

To this end, relevant transactions include, in particular: (I) financial investments, funding, shareholder's loans, providing guarantees, the acquisition or sale of products and services, as well as the supply of energy products and other similar transactions with a financial value exceeding €10 million (with certain exceptions); (II) the acquisition or disposal of shareholdings or other assets; (III) transactions not carried out in the ordinary course of business of the Galp Group entity concerned or under normal market conditions; and (IV) any other transactions with a high risk of conflict of interest.
In 2021 there were no related-party transactions subject to the previous control of the Audit Board.
91. Description of the procedures and criteria applicable to the Audit Board when it provides a preliminary assessment of the transactions to be carried out between the Company and the holders of qualifying holdings or entities in any relationship with them, pursuant to Article 20 of the Portuguese Securities Code.
For Galp to engage in transactions with related parties, as defined by IAS 24, it requires the prior opinion of the Audit Board, in accordance with the law and internal regulation entitled "Galp Group Transactions with Related Parties", in order to safeguard the Galp Group's interest in potential conflict-of-interest situations, without prejudice to compliance with the law. This regulation is available at: https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/TC/NT-026- Galp%20Group%20Related%20Parties%20Transactions.pdf
This regulation applies to any transactions between Galp (or any Galp Group entity) and related parties.
The Company Secretary is required to submit the proposal for any relevant related-party transaction to the Audit Board for its prior opinion, together with the supporting information, including, in particular, its financial value, the contractual formation procedures that are to be adopted and a demonstration that the transaction conditions are in line with the current activity of the Galp

The Audit Board must issue a prior opinion within five business days.

If the Audit Board issues a negative prior opinion, the Board of Directors of the relevant Group Company may decide to go forward with the transaction, on the grounds that it is in pursuit of the corporate interests of Galp or of the Galp Group entity, and such negative opinion should be disclosed, where applicable.
Related-party transactions that are not subject to prior opinion are communicated to the Audit Board on a six-monthly basis, in order to confirm that they were carried out in the ordinary course of business of the relevant Galp Group entity and under normal market conditions, with the related parties not taking part in the relevant verification.

| Chapter II Shareholders and general meetings | ||
| II.1. The company should not set an excessively high number of shares to confer voting rights, and it should make its choice clear in the corporate governance report every time its choice entails a diversion from the general rule: that each share has a corresponding vote. |
Adopted2 | Sections 5 and 12 |
| II.2. The company should not adopt mechanisms that make decision making by its shareholders (resolutions) more difficult, specifically, by setting a quorum higher than that established by law. |
Explain, equivalent to adoption. The statutory provisions requiring approval by two-thirds of the votes are not intended to make it more difficult for shareholders to take decisions, nor is this an anti-takeover defence mechanism that harms the market for control (which in Galp is not limited). The purpose is to ensure adequate representation of shareholders, particularly minority shareholders, when approving resolutions on issues of strategic importance to the Company and on fundamental matters of Galp, which characterise its essence, and to avoid the classic problem of agency. This mechanism was therefore created with the main goal of protecting the Company itself, ensuring its stability, as well as the minority shareholders in nuclear matters for Galp and adequate shareholder involvement in corporate governance as an instrument for the efficient operation of the company and the achievement of its corporate purpose, which can be read in the sense that it is intended to ensure a broad involvement and consensus of shareholders on structuring issues. It should also be noted that the application of a quorum for a resolution of two thirds on a second call is only required for |

| issues which, as they are strategic and of the utmost importance to the Company, the law itself requires for resolutions on the same matter on the first notice. |
||
| II.3. The company should implement adequate means for the remote participation by shareholders in the general meeting, which should be proportionate to its size. |
Adopted. | Section 12 |
| II.4. The company should also implement adequate means for the exercise of remote voting, including by correspondence and electronic means. |
Adopted. | Section 12 |
| II.5. The bylaws, which specify the limitation of the number of votes that can be held or exercised by a sole shareholder, individually or in coordination with other shareholders, should equally provide that, at least every 5 years, the amendment or maintenance of this rule will be subject to a shareholder resolution — without increased quorum in comparison to the legally established — and in that resolution, all votes cast will be counted without observation of the imposed limits. |
Not applicable. Galp's statutes do not provide for such a limitation. |
Section 13 |
| II.6. The company should not adopt mechanisms that imply payments or assumption of fees in the case of the transfer of control or the change in the composition of the managing body, and which are likely to harm the free transferability of shares and a shareholder assessment of the performance of the members of the managing body. |
Adopted. | Section 4 |
| Chapter III Non-Executive management, monitoring and supervision | ||
| III.1. Without prejudice to the legal powers of the chair of the managing body, if he or she is not independent, the independent directors should appoint a coordinator from amongst them, namely, to: (i) act, when necessary, as an interlocutor with the chair of the board of directors and other directors, (ii) make sure there are the necessary conditions and means to carry out their functions; and (iii) coordinate the independent directors in the assessment of the performance of the managing body, as established in recommendation V.1.1. |
Adopted. | Section 18 |
| III.2. The number of non-executive members in the managing body, as well as the number of members of the supervisory body and the number of the members of the committee for financial matters, should be suitable for the size of the company and the complexity of the risks intrinsic to its activity, but sufficient to ensure, with efficiency, the duties which they have been attributed. The formation of such suitability judgment should be included in the corporate governance report. |
Adopted.3 | Sections 18 and 31 |
| III.3. In any case, the number of non-executive directors should be higher than the number of executive directors. |
Adopted. | Section 18 |
| III.4. Each company should include a number of non-executive directors that corresponds to no less than one third, but always plural, who satisfy the legal requirements of independence. For the purposes of this recommendation, an independent person is one who is not associated with any specific group of interest of the company, nor under any circumstance likely to affect his/her impartiality of analysis or decision, namely due to: i. having carried out functions in any of the company's bodies for more than twelve years, either on a consecutive or non-consecutive basis; |
Adopted. | Section 18 |
3 It should be noted that the part of this recommendation referring to the financial matters committee is not applicable, since the issuer has not adopted the Germanic structure, in accordance with article 278(1)(c) and (4) of the Portuguese Companies Code, and therefore does not have a financial matters committee.
| PICG Recommendation | Comply or explain | Relevant section of this report | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ii. having been a prior staff member of the company or of a company which is considered to be in a controlling or group relationship with the company in the last three years; iii. having, in the last three years, provided services or established a significant business relationship with the company or a company which is considered to be in a controlling or group relationship, either directly or as a shareholder, director, manager or officer of the legal person; iv. having been a beneficiary of remuneration paid by the company or by a company which is considered to be in a controlling or group relationship other than the remuneration resulting from the exercise of a director's duties; v. having lived in a non-marital partnership or having been the spouse, relative or any first degree next of kin up to and including the third degree of collateral affinity of company directors or of natural persons who are direct or indirect holders of qualifying holdings; or vi. having been a qualified holder or representative of a shareholder of a qualifying holding. |
|||
| III.5. The provisions of paragraph (i) of recommendation III.4 does not inhibit the qualification of a new director as independent if, between the termination of his/her functions in any of the company's bodies and the new appointment, a period of 3 years has elapsed (cooling-off period). |
Not applicable. There are no directors under these conditions. |
||
| III.6. The supervisory body, in observance of the powers conferred to it by law, should assess and give its opinion on the strategic lines and the risk policy prior to its final approval by the management body. |
Adopted. | Section 38 | |

Galp's business plans and budgets include investments that will accelerate the decarbonization of the Company over the next decade. These business plans and budgets will evolve over time to reflect its progress towards the 2050 Net Zero Emissions target. All statements other than statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements express future expectations that are based on management's expectations and assumptions as of the date they are disclosed and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such those statements. Accordingly, neither Galp nor any other person can assure that its future results, performance or events will meet those expectations, nor assume any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Galp to market risks and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections, and assumptions.

Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance with the Galp's management reporting policies and shows internal segment information that is used to manage and measure the Group's performance. In addition to IFRS measures, certain alternative performance measures are presented, such as performance measures adjusted for special items (adjusted operational cash flow, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, and adjusted net income), return on equity (ROE), return on average capital employed (ROACE), investment return rate (IRR), equity investment return rate (eIRR), gearing ratio, cash flow from operations and free cash flow. These indicators are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance of Galp and comparison of results and cash flow among periods. In addition, the results are also measured in accordance with the replacement cost method, adjusted for special items. This method is used to assess the performance of each business segment and facilitate the comparability of the segments' performance with those of its competitors. This document also contains non-financial performance indicators, according to applicable legislation, including a carbon intensity indicator for energy products sold by Galp, that measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions of those products, from their production to their end use, per unit of energy delivered. This indicator covers the direct GHG emissions of production and processing facilities (scope 1) and their indirect emissions associated with energy purchased (scope 2), as well as the emissions associated with the use of products by Galp's costumers (scope 3). The same emissions are considered for products purchased from third parties and sold or transformed by Galp.
