This chapter of the integrated management report is to comply with Article 245-A of the Portuguese Securities Code and follows 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/Documents/Reg4\_2013.Governo. das.Sociedades.en.pdf
PART I INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE, ORGANISATION AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
1. Capital structure (share capital, number of shares, distribution of capital by shareholders, etc.), including any shares that are not admitted to trading, different
classes of shares, the corresponding rights and duties, and the capital percentage that each class represents (Article 245-A(1)(a) of the Portuguese Securities Code).

Note: non-listed shares are owned by Parpública and, under the applicable legal framework on privatisation, must be placed through a regulated market, as they were not used to repay the exchangeable bonds. These may be fungible with the remaining shares upon request without requiring the approval of any Galp´s Company Body. No special rights are attached to this category of shares.
Galp shares are freely transferable with no restrictions in the By-laws which could prevent their transferability or ownership.
3. Number of treasury shares, the percentage of share capital represented by these shares and the PART I A - SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE
As at 31 December 2019, Galp held no treasury shares or treasury bonds.
4. Agreements 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 and the consequences of such a bid, except where, owing to the nature of the same, disclosure would be seriously detrimental to the company. This exception does not apply where the Company is specifically required to disclose such information pursuant to other legal requirements (Article 245-A(1)(j) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
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 effect on the financial interest in transferring shares in Galp or on the free appraisal of the directors' performance by the shareholders.
Nor has Galp adopted any mechanism which 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 which could adversely affect the transfer of the shares and the appraisal 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 which impose any limitation on the number of votes which can be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or together with other shareholders, or other protective measures.
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 245-A(1)(c) and (d) of the Portuguese Securities Code), 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%, 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, these reporting duties are set out in Article 16 of the Portuguese Securities Code, which is available on the CMVM website at www.cmvm.pt.
PART I A - SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE

1 Date of election of Galp's company bodies for the four-year period 2019-2022.
2 For the purposes of Article 447(2)(d) of the Companies and Partnerships Code, it is further declared that Amorim Energia B.V., in which the mentioned director also has a seat on the board, is the holder of 276,472,161 of Galp shares.
On 31 December 2019, none of the members of the management and supervisory bodies held any bonds issued by the Company.
9. Special powers of the Board of Directors, particularly with regard to resolutions on capital increase (Article 245-A(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 corporate governance model. The By-laws make no provision for any special powers of the Board of Directors, including the possibility of passing a resolution on share capital increases.
The Annual General Meeting held in 2019 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/informationto-shareholders/general-shareholders-meetings/generalshareholders-meeting/id/19
In 2019, there were no material business relationships between the holders of qualifying holdings and Galp.
I.- General Meeting
Under Article 11(2) of the By-laws, the Board of the General Meeting consists of a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman 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 (although the current members will remain in office until the new members are elected), are as follows:
Chairman: Ana Perestrelo de Oliveira
Vice-Chairman: 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 where by the financial rights attached to securities are detached (Article 245-A(1)(f) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
The By-laws enshrine the "one share, one vote" principle and there are no By-law provisions or other legal instruments which restrict the exercising of voting rights. Nor are there any 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 Bylaws, in accordance with the Shareholders' Rights Directive, 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 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 Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and the CMVM.
Article 10(6) to (9) of the By-laws permits the unrestricted exercise of the voting right by correspondence and, despite not being provided for in the By-laws, votes may also be cast electronically, in accordance with the requirements established by the Chairman 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 the convening notice for the General Meetings since 2018.
As specified in the convening notice for the relevant General Shareholders' Meeting, shareholders may also participate in the General Meeting by means of telecommunications, namely through a conference call. 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 means of telecommunications was available during the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting held on 12 April 2019.
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 a relationship with that shareholder.
14. Details of any shareholders' resolutions which, in accordance with the By-laws, may only be passed by a qualified majority, in addition to those provided for by law, and the details of any such majority.
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, Galp's By-laws require a two thirds qualifying majority in the following cases:
a) first and second calls, for resolutions on matters relating to the management of the Company submitted to the General Meeting by the Board of Directors;
b) second call for the following matters: (I) amendments to the By-laws, including capital increases and the restriction or suppression of any pre-emption rights of the shareholders; (II) mergers, demergers, transformation or winding-up of the Company.
The objective of these provisions of the By-laws is to ensure that shareholders are appropriately represented when passing resolutions on matters of strategic importance to the Company.
(Board of Directors, Executive Board and General and Supervisory Board)

Galp's corporate governance model comprises:
(I) a management structure composed of a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee;
(II) a strengthened supervisory framework, which includes the Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor;
(III) a Company Secretary charged with providing specialist support to the Company Bodies.
Galp has the mandatory Company Bodies for companies with securities listed 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 Company 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 Company Bodies, the duties of the
9
PART I B - COMPANY BODIES AND COMMITTEES
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. which cannot be delegated 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 supporting documents for decisions made, the convening notices and the files of Executive Committee meetings.
The Chairman 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.
Under the legal provisions applicable to the relationship between the non-executive members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, including the monitoring of the Executive Committee's activity by members (in accordance with Article 407(8) of the CSC), the Chairman of the Board of Directors is entitled to attend the meetings of the Executive Committee.
The Audit Board is responsible for exercising the oversight functions of the Company's business in five key areas:
(I) supervision of the Company's activity;
(II) control of the Company's financial information;
(III) oversight of the internal risk management, internal control and internal auditing systems;
(IV) receipt (and processing) of reports of irregularities; and
(V) protection of the External Auditor's independence.
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 245-A(1)(h) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
The members of the Board of Directors, including the Chairman, 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, cooption 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.
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 exclusively to the shareholders the 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 appointment committee within the structure of the Board of Directors.
In fact, such a committee could not replace the powers of the shareholders under Article 391 of the CSC.
The Company has been involved in identifying and selecting specific profiles for different management positions using reputable international companies specialised in the selection of 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 and the justification given is not accepted by the Board of Directors.
17. Composition of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the General and Supervisory Board, where applicable, with details of the by-law rules on the minimum and maximum 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 19 current members of the Board of Directors elected for the four-year term 2019–2022 are listed in the table below and are described on the Galp website (https://www.galp.com/corp/en/ corporate-governance/governing-model-and-bodies/board-ofdirectors).

18. Distinction to be drawn between executive and Non-executive 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.
18.1The independence of the members of the General and Supervisory Board and the members of the Audit Board is determined in accordance with the applicable law. The other members of the Board of Directors are considered independent 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:
On 31 December 2019, 12 of the 19 members of the Board of Directors are non-executive directors (who are still in office on this date), which is equivalent to more than half (i.e. 63%) 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, thus efficiently performing the duties assigned to them.

PART I B - COMPANY BODIES AND COMMITTEES
Given the criteria for determining the independence of the nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors mentioned above and the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance ("PICG Corporate Governance Code"), the Board of Directors includes the following five independent directors, based on its self-assessment for the 2019 financial year performed at the meeting held on 14 February 2020:
| Miguel Athayde Marques (Lead) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Luís Todo Bom | |||
| Edmar de Almeida | |||
| Cristina Fonseca | |||
| Adolfo Mesquita Nunes |
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 non-executive members of the Board of Directors (i.e. 42%) – is suitable and is higher than the percentage recommended in the PICG Corporate Governance Code (over one third).
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 Chairman 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.
As shown in the chart below, the members of the Board of Directors have a range of acknowledged skills, professional experience and academic backgrounds which 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. 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

B - COMPANY BODIES AND COMMITTEES
each member has the individual characteristics necessary for holding the position in question.
Apart from the diversity of powers, 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. The 2019 General Meeting elected members from countries in which Galp operates – Portugal, Brazil and Angola - and the number of women on the Board rose from 16% to 26%. The Board members range in age from 32 to 74.
In order to ensure adequate knowledge and monitoring by the non-executive members of the activities carried on by the business units, an annual knowledge development plan has been implemented since 2018 and the members of the Board of Directors participated in two training initiatives about Galp's business dealings during 2019.
The biography of each member of the Board of Directors and their positions in other companies has been included in the Appendix to this report.

20. Customary and meaningful family, professional and business relationships of the members of the Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Committee, where applicable, with shareholders that have a qualifying holding of more than 2% of the voting rights.
The relationship of the members of the Board of Directors with shareholders which have a qualifying holding of more than 2% of the voting rights, are as follows:
| Director | Shareholder with qualifying holding |
Relationship | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paula Amorim | Amorim Energia | Director | |
| Marta Amorim | Amorim Energia | Director | |
| Francisco Teixeira Rêgo | Amorim Energia | Director | |
| Jorge Seabra de Freitas | Amorim Energia | Director | |
| Rui Paulo Gonçalves | Amorim Energia | Director |
21. Organisational charts or flowcharts showing the allocation of powers between the Company's various company bodies and committees and/or departments, including information on delegated powers, particularly in relation to the delegation of the day-to-day management of the Company.
Galp's current organisational structure is based on four business units and a corporate centre which is coordinated by each of the executive directors, as described in Section 29 of this report.
The corporate centre provides various services for the business units and the Group companies, including IT, planning and control, accounting, legal advice and human resources.
The Company's organisational model also provides for the existence of a number of committees, which are described in Sections 27 and 29 of this report.
B - COMPANY BODIES AND COMMITTEES

The Board of Directors operates in accordance with the regulations governing its organisation and operation, approved by the Board at its meeting of 12 April 2019 and applicable for the 2019-2022 term, pursuant to Article 16 of the By-laws, available on Galp's website at https://www. galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governance2019/ regulamento\_2019\_2022\_CA\_en.pdf
Under Article 16(2) of the By-laws, the Board of Directors ordinarily meets once a month, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, and whenever a meeting is convened by the Chairman or by any two directors.

*Member of the Board of Directors in functions since 12 April 2019 (7 meetings were held in 2019 after this date)
(1) Not including representation
The Remuneration Committee, which is elected by the General Meeting in accordance with Article 8 of the By-laws, conducts an annual performance appraisal of the executive directors.
The variable pay of the executive members of the Board of Directors is set each year following the performance appraisal conducted by the Remuneration Committee, which includes a quantitative aspect determined on the basis of whether economic, financial and operating targets, as defined annually by the Remuneration Committee, were met, as well as a qualitative aspect. It also consults 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, which may lead to the removal of the director concerned.
In addition, pursuant to Article 16 of the Board of Directors' Regulations, the Board reviews its own performance (including the executive members) and the performance of its committees on an annual basis. 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 of 14 February 2020, the Board of Directors carried out this performance review of the year 2019, as it did the previous year.
The performance of the executive directors is assessed according to the fulfilment of certain economic, financial and operational objectives, as set annually in the remuneration policy submitted by the Remuneration Committee and through the approval of the annual remuneration policy statement at the General Meeting.
The pre-defined criteria for appraising the executive directors' performance in the 2019 financial year are set out in Section 69 of this report.
The positions held by the members of the Board of Directors in other companies within and outside the Galp Group and any other relevant activities pursued by the members of this body in the 2019 financial year are shown in the Appendix to this report.
In general, the members of the Board of Directors show great enthusiasm 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 to 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.
In addition, 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 hold these positions within the same group - the Amorim or Américo Amorim Group - which 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: (I) the members of the Executive Committee may not hold executive positions in listed companies that are not part of the Galp Group; and (II) Non-executive directors may not hold management positions in more than four listed companies outside the Galp Group.
Under the By-laws and the Board of Directors' Regulations, a director is considered definitively absent when s/he has not attended any three consecutive or five not 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:
• engage in any activity in competition with the Company or with a company in a controlling or group relationship with it, on its own behalf or on behalf of a third party, or perform duties in a competing company or be appointed to it, unless authorised by the General Meeting;
• hold any position under an employment contract (the latter will be deemed to have been terminated if entered into less than one year before becoming a director or suspended if entered into more than one year earlier).
In accordance with the Board of Directors' Regulations, the members shall promptly inform the Board, specifically the chairman, of any facts that may constitute or give rise to a conflict between their own interests and the Company's interests.
In addition, the Company has 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%20 Interest.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 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.
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 which governs the Group's related-party transactions requires prior approval for relevant transactions with related parties, as described in Sections 89 and 91 of this report.
In 2019 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.
27. Details of the committees created within the Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Executive Committee, where applicable, and where to find their operating regulations.
At the Board of Directors' meeting on 12 April 2019, the Board appointed the Executive Committee, which consists of the seven 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\_2019\_2022\_CA\_en.pdf
On 12 April 2019, the Board of Directors established a Sustainability Committee composed by non-executive directors, with the aim of ensuring the incorporation of sustainability principles into the management of the Group and fostering good industry practices in business and corporate areas. This Committee replaces the Sustainability Committee that existed since 2012.
At present, the Committee is chaired by the Vice-Chairman and Lead Independent Director of the Board of Directors,
Miguel Athayde Marques (Chairman). It also has two nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors, Cristina Fonseca (independent) and Diogo Tavares.
The Committee's Regulations are available at https:// www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governance2019/ Comiss%C3%B5es/Regulamento%20Comissao%20 Sustentabilidade\_E1.pdf
The Audit Committee was set up in 2019 by the Board of Directors with the aim of assisting the Board in overseeing and monitoring internal auditing activities within the Group.
It comprises three non-executive directors, one of whom is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, currently Paula Amorim, as Chairman, together with Luís Todo Bom (independent) and Jorge Seabra de Freitas.
The Committee's internal regulations are available at https:// www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/ SharedResources/Documentos/EN/EN%20Regulamento%20 Conselho%20Fiscal%20out2018.pdf
The mission of the Risk Management Committee, set up by the Board of Directors on 12 April 2019, is to support and monitor the development and implementation of Galp's risk management strategy and policy and to provide assistance to the Board of Directors in this respect. This Committee is the successor to the Risk Management Committee set up in 2013.

The regulations of the Risk Management Committee are available at https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/ Governance2019/Comiss%C3%B5es/Regulamento%20 Comissao%20Gestao%20de%20Risco\_E1.pdf
The Company has also set up specialised committees to address the remuneration and performance appraisal of the company bodies, EQS and ethics and conduct.
Given the Company's governance model and Portuguese company law, the Audit Board is the internal body responsible for assessing corporate governance matters.
Under Portuguese law, the appointment of directors is a responsibility attributed exclusively to the shareholders. In order to avoid any conflicts of interest or agency issues, the Board of Directors has not appointed any committee to deal with matters related to the appointment of its own members or members of other company bodies (such as the Audit Board members).
As stated in Sections 24 above and 66 et seq. below, the Remuneration Committee comprises three shareholders elected by the General Meeting and is responsible for setting the amount of remuneration owed to the members of Galp's company bodies and for conducting the annual performance appraisal of the executive members of Galp's Board of Directors. The Committee's Regulations are available at https://www. galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/ SharedResources/Documentos/EN/Regulamento%20 Comissao%20de%20Remuneracoes\_EN\_2019.PDF
The Ethics and Conduct Committee is appointed by the Audit Board. It comprises three members of proven expertise in ethics and compliance, auditing and human resources. The Chairman is proposed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of
the members is the person in charge of internal auditing and the other is proposed by the Executive Committee.
The current members of this Committee are Adolfo Mesquita Nunes (Chairman), independent non-executive director, and Laura Santos, Head of Internal Audit.
The Committee's Regulations are available at https:// www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/Recursos/Governance2019/ Comiss%C3%B5es/comiss%C3%A3o%20de%20 %C3%A9tica%20e%20conduta/Regulations-Ethics%20 Conduct%20Committee.pdf
The mission of the Corporate EQS Committee is to assist the Executive Committee to foster a culture of EQS and the applicable EQS standards by ensuring the application of the relevant policies and objectives.
The Corporate EQS Committee is chaired by the member of the Executive Committee responsible for the Safety and Sustainability Department – Carlos Costa Pina. Its members include the heads of the business units and the relevant corporate departments.

In 2019, the Ethics and Conduct Committee held three meetings to analyse and decide on forwarding the received reports of irregularities, drawing up detailed minutes of each one. It took part in three meetings of the Audit Board, providing a full report to this body.

Out of these 11 cases, only one situation required measures to be adopted by the Company in order to bring conduct into line with the standards laid down in the Code of Ethics and Conduct.

In accordance with the legal framework for audit supervision, as approved by Law No. 148/2015, of 9 September, which transposed into national law 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 nonaudit 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 2019 are described in Sections 46 and 47 of this report.
Under the relevant legal framework, the By-laws and the Audit Board Regulations, this company body is responsible for monitoring the Company's activities and supervising the management of the Company, namely the processes of preparing and disclosing financial information. It has the power to put forward recommendations or proposals to ensure the integrity of the Company 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;

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. 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.
The Galp Group's External Auditor as at 31 December 2019 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 end of
three terms through a prior consultation process with the main internationally renowned auditing firms for a four-year period coinciding with the term of office of the company bodies.
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:
a) knowledge of the Galp Group's business;
b) experience as an auditor/statutory auditor in companies listed in national and international markets;
c) methodological approach to the audit process of the accounts applicable to Galp;
d) job planning/assignment of personnel/communication with Galp (Audit Board, Accounting and Internal Audit);
e) curriculum vitae of those in charge and of the audit team assigned directly to the work (experience in the Galp Group's business dealings).
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 and the first to receive the information prepared by the External Auditor, 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.
In turn, the External Auditor collaborates with the Audit Board by immediately providing it with information regarding any irregularities in the performance of its duties, as well as any difficulties in carrying out its duties, as provided for by law and contractually established with 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 company 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 any 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 2019, 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:
• limited review of the accounts of a Galp Group company required under a concession contract;
• checking the physical quantities, underground occupancy rates and accounts of the Group's natural gas companies for regulatory purposes;
• verifying fuel prices for the open tender for the supply of fuel to Oeiras Municipal Council;
• reviewing the accounts of Galp Gás Natural, S.A. for the purpose of anticipated payment of dividends.
In addition to the non-audit services mentioned above, the External Auditor/Statutory Auditor provided the following services in 2019, as required by law:
• validating the natural gas acquisition costs for Galp Gás Natural, S.A., and other costs, as required by the Energy Services Regulatory Authority;
• validating Galp Gás Natural, S.A. clearing criteria and natural gas sales prices for wholesale suppliers of last resort;
• validating Galp Energia España, S.A.U's "annual statement package", as required by Ecoembalafes España, S.A.;
• validating Galp Energia España, S.A.U's annual statement of stocks, purchases and sales of petroleum products and LPG, as required by the "Corporación de Reservas Estratéticas de Productos Petrolíferos";
• validating Galp Energia España, S.A.U's "annual statement of purchases, sales and production of biofuels, and other renewable fuels for transportation purposes", as required by the "Corporación de Reservas Estratéticas de Productos Petrolíferos".
When engaging services from the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor, sufficient internal procedures are followed to safeguard the independence of the External Auditor and 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 a 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 2019, 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:
C - INTERNAL ORGANISATION
| Accounts review services | €20,000 | 3.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability guarantee services | €97,000 | 1.2% |
| Tax advisory services | €0 | 0% |
| Non-account review services | €0 | 0% |
| By members of the Group | ||
| Accounts review services | €416,995 | 72.4% |
| Reliability guarantee services* | €42,000 | 7.3% |
| Tax advisory services | €0 | 0% |
| Non-account review services | €0 | 0% |
Given that the External Auditor's term of office began in 2019, the 70% cap established in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 (European Audit Regulation) does not apply. In any case, in 2019, non-audit services represented 27.4% of the average fees paid to the External Auditor in 2019 for audit services to Galp and to entities under Galp's control in the same period (below the 70% cap established in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014).
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) 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/corporategovernance/documentation
Galp also has a procedure on reporting irregularities, which allows for non-compliance with these or other rules as well as other irregularities to be reported, which was approved by the Audit Board and announced internally to all employees via the normal means of communication and externally through the official Galp website: https://www.galp.com/corp/Portals/0/ Recursos/Governo-Societario/SharedResources/Documentos/ EN/Procedure\_on\_Reporting\_Irregularities\_EthicsLine.pdf
The standard regarding the Reporting of Irregularities enables any party related to Galp – including employees, members of the company bodies, shareholders, investors, customers, suppliers and business partners – to report to the Ethics and Conduct Committee any knowledge or reasonable suspicion of irregularities, including within the scope of the above-mentioned mechanisms, namely breaches of the Code of Ethics and Conduct or of any standards that refer to it or which address the topics referred to therein, in the areas of accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing, anti-corruption measures, banking, and financial crimes.
The complaints submitted via the ethics helpline are received and processed by Galp's Ethics and Conduct Committee, which was set up by and reports to the Audit Board.
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 the general provisions on data protection and Decision No. 765/2009 of the Portuguese National Data Protection Commission (CNPD).
For confidentiality purposes, access to these reporting processes is only granted to the Audit Board, the Ethics and Conduct Committee members and, on a strict 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 in writing, by e-mail or letter to the following addresses:
Postal address: Comissão de Ética e Conduta da Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. Rua Tomás da Fonseca, Torre A, 1600-209 Lisboa, Portugal
Irregularities may also be reported using the form available on Galp's intranet and website.
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:
Control environment;
Information and communication;
Monitoring activities.
The Internal Control Manual establishes the general principles of and requirements for the internal control components, as well as the organisational model associated with the integrated and cross-cutting management of internal control within the Galp Group. This is defined as the set of processes carried out by the company bodies, specialist committees, internal auditors and Galp's employees, with a view to reasonably assuring 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 their meetings, about any relevant facts, identifying opportunities for improvement 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 draws up an annual Audit Plan which includes 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 Audit Board approves the annual Audit Plan and monitors its execution.
The Internal Audit Department regularly informs and alerts the Audit Committee and the Audit Board, in their meetings, about any relevant facts, identifying opportunities for improvement and promoting their implementation.
In 2017, the Internal Audit Department carried out a quality check, conducted by the IIA, which concluded that Galp's audit practices comply with international standards. The External Auditor, Statutory Auditor, corporate areas responsible for conducting environment, quality, safety and sustainability audits and ethical and regulatory compliance audits and the Audit Board are also responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control system and assessing its internal functioning and procedures.
Implementing the internal control activities is the responsibility of the operational areas of the Group's business units, corporate functions and Galp Group companies.
The organisational and governance structure of internal control and risk management is based on the three lines of defence model, as outlined in the chart below.

Enterprise Risk Management
C - INTERNAL ORGANISATION

The three-lines-of-defence, approach ensures that:
• the first line of defence, considering the risk environment, identifies, assesses and communicates potential risk exposure, establishes and implements the best way of capturing or mitigating risk exposure; executes the day-to-day risk and control activities.
• the second line of defence monitors the internal control system and the main risks at the corporate level, establishes risk standards and regularly reports the risks and the status of mitigation action plans to the Risk Management Committee, the Executive Committee, the Audit Board and the Board of Directors.
• the third line of defence supervises, monitors and assesses the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control processes.
The Board of Directors defines the strategy, approves the risk policy, the risk appetite and supervises risk management, monitoring the performance of the duties delegated to the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee establishes and implements high level controls, fosters organisational culture and commitment to internal control, defines reporting lines and internal control powers and responsibilities.
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO), as a member of the Executive Committee, ensures that discussions about risk are consistent and effective at all levels.
The Risk Management Committee, comprising 3 non-executive Board members, is responsible for monitoring Galp's main risks; evaluating the compliance with the tolerance levels and the execution and effectiveness of decided mitigation actions; assessing Galp Group's internal control and risk management systems; issuing appropriate opinions and recommendations; and evaluating compliance with Galp's risk management policy. The role of the Audit Board is to monitor the effectiveness of the internal control and internal auditing systems, as well as to assess the functioning of the internal systems and procedures on a yearly basis, thereby contributing to enhancing the internal control environment.
As part of its supervisory function, the Audit Board monitors the work plans and resources assigned to the Internal Audit and Legal and Governance Departments and receives periodic reports from these departments, including the auditing reports and the annual Compliance Plan, as well as information on reporting matters, 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 receives the documentation and results of Risk Management Committee meetings and meets on a quarterly basis with the Head of Risk Management Department to discuss the Group's most important risk management issues.
The Audit Board also provides its assessment of the annual strategic guidelines and risk policy established by the Board of Directors.
Although the External Auditor is positioned outside the organisation, it 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.
Similarly to the External Auditor, the regulatory entities are not part of the organisation but have a significant control role, setting down the rules of functioning and establishing controls for assessing compliance, particularly in Galp's regulated electricity and natural gas business.
The relationship model between the company bodies, departments and committees responsible for implementing the internal control system favours the centralised management of risks by the Risk Management Department. This department is responsible for:
• establishing, monitoring and assessing risks and mitigation measures, maintaining alignment with the approved policies and strategies;
• establishing and monitoring, through its information security team, cybersecurity policies and procedures;
• ensuring the consistency of principles, concepts, methodologies and the risk assessment and management tools of all the Group's business units and companies;
• assessing whether the risks identified by the business units (risk 'owners') are within the established tolerance levels;
• ranking risks according to their priority, probability and impact;
• reporting the risks to the Chief Risk Officer and the Risk Management Committee;
• ensuring effective implementation of the risk management system, fostering a risk-aware culture by demonstrating the relevance of such matters to the Executive Committee, the Risk Management Committee and the Group's business units and companies.
The Legal and Governance Department establishes ethical and compliance controls, monitors the internal control system by conducting internal inquiries, audits or risk assessments on ethics and compliance matters (such as bribery and corruption, money laundering and terrorism financing, fraud, conflicts of interest, political, economic and financial sanctions and other restrictive measures, compliance with financial and market regulations), as well as by conducting due diligences on the same issues for relevant partners and transactions. Additionally, it administers training to Galp's employees on the compliance matters and appraises ethics and compliance performance in the various business units. It also develops special projects with
a view to consistently improving Galp's compliance with ethics and regulatory matters.
The Local Risk Officers (LRO) assist the business units responsible for identifying, assessing and managing the risks in their respective business units, in line with risk management standards.
They are also responsible for incorporating risk information into their decision-making processes and ensuring compliance with the approved risk management policies and procedures.
Moreover, they prepare and report information on risk exposure in their business units. To ensure full coverage of Galp´s risk taxonomy, a stronger and transversal LRO structure was approved in 2019 and the number of officers was increased.
In addition to those described above, the Safety and Sustainability Department and the Information Systems and Digital Department are also involved in controlling risk.
The Safety and Sustainability Department is responsible for corporate management of sustainability risks (including those arising from climate change, product quality, safety and security) and has the power to establish and propose assessment and monitoring methodologies.
These must be implemented in conjunction with the business units, thereby ensuring that a plan of action is established to minimise and eliminate these risks.
The cybersecurity area within the Information Systems and Digital Department is responsible for implementing the cybersecurity policy and the procedures established by the Chief Information Security Officer within the Risk Management Department.
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.
To ensure a holistic approach to risk, Galp uses a risk taxonomy which includes the main uncertainties that could influence its business model, as described below.
Galp's assets and results are dependent on various market factors, including the price of oil products, natural gas, LNG and electricity, as well as foreign exchange and interest rates.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| The price of oil products, natural gas, LNG and electricity varies according to the market and it is vital minimise its impact and speed at which it is reflected in Galp's selling prices. |
The presence of upstream and downstream (oil & gas & power) businesses provides a partial natural risk cover. |
| Factors such as changes in consumption patterns and consumers behaviours with greater demand for less carbon-intense solutions, |
New projects and prospective investments are assessed for different scenarios and carbon-emission impacts are also taken into account. |
| economic or operating circumstances, natural disasters, climate changes, political instability, armed conflict or supply restrictions, influence market dynamics. |
The Brent volatility risks and refining margin are managed through instruments available on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets. |
| Foreign exchange rate fluctuations affect revenue and thus results and the cash flow generated by sales. The value of its assets and financial investments, especially those denominated in US dollars and Brazilian reais, is influenced by the foreign exchange risk in Galp's consolidated financial statements in euros. |
Interest rate, foreign exchange rate and other financial risks are managed centrally using variable and fixed rate financial instruments and hedging derivatives. |
| Interest rate volatility can affect Galp's financing costs and have an impact on results. |
|
| Adverse market changes may have an impact on the value of Galp's assets and results. |
Legislative and regulatory changes may alter the business context in which Galp operates.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures | |
|---|---|---|
| Besides the supply of natural gas, E&P projects are carried out in emerging or developing economies with an unstable legislative and regulatory framework. |
The legislative and regulatory risk is considered when valuing investments and monitored at the execution phase. The decision to invest is made based on the opinion of the various areas of the Company and ensures appropriate management of the actual and potential risks |

Impacts are analysed and decisions made accordingly to protect stakeholders' interests. |
|
| Any changes in legislative frameworks may have a negative impact on Galp's activity and affect adversely its profitability. |

Moreover, the new energy paradigm based on a transition to a lowcarbon economy includes a shift in consumption and technological standards which are challenging for Galp.
Galp takes the view that the transition to a low carbon economy has potential impacts for its business model, either as a result of regulatory changes or shifts in consumption and technological patterns.
This transition will affect all risks, but particularly "Assets", "Legal", "Market" and "Price", and is included in Galp's risk analysis.
The inability to address new trends as well as the exposure to the necessity of replacing the current products and services by technologies aligned with the transition to a low carbon economy can have a significant adverse effect on the competitiveness and profitability of the Company.
Galp is part of consortia that assure best practices and technologies, enabling high levels of safety, at low operational cost and environmental impact.
Galp's objective is to ensure the sustainability of the Company and generate sustainable value for its stakeholders in the long term.
Moreover, as it is aware of the risks of and the opportunities in the transition to a low-carbon economy, Galp has committed to diversifying its portfolio and increasing its energy generation from renewable sources, with lower carbon emissions. The carbon intensity of its business is assessed and a price for carbon emissions has been set (establishing a stress test price at \$50/tCO2), with the aim of evaluating the potential cost of CO2 emissions for the different alternatives being studied, differentiating those that ensure portfolio resilience in a low carbon world.
The reliability of assets and the efficiency on their operation are a decisive factor in Galp's competitiveness.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures | |
|---|---|---|
| The ability to operate assets efficiently and to ensure an adequate management of costs is an important element in Galp's competitive performance. |
Galp considers that protecting the environment, safety and health of its employees, clients and community, in tandem with the safeguard of its assets, are essential values for its sustainability. |
|
| Constraints on using infrastructures, namely refineries, resulting on a lower production reliability; failures on facilities or industrial units' operations, with effects on safety, health and environment; or even logistic constraints on supply, with strangulation at the logistic terminals, may affect Galp´s operational and financial performance, and its reputation. |
For such purpose, Galp established an integrated management system, including environmental, health and safety aspects, allowing it to identify and manage the risks and opportunities involved in the operation during the entire life cycle of projects, equipment and assets. As part of Galp´s insurance scheme it transfers civil liability and business interruption to the insurance market to mitigate the impact of any major incidents. |
In a highly competitive market, Galp's ability to react to competition is crucial for ensuring good financial performance and reaching strategic goals.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Competition in the energy sector may increase when new players from other industries or sectors of activity enter the market and market conditions change due to new trends in the fossil fuel market and the new energy paradigm. |
Galp has established an innovation agenda committed to skills development enabling it to study, create and implement new and improved technical and technological solutions. |

IT & Cybersecurity
A breach of Galp's digital security or breakdown of its digital infrastructure may affect its operations, increase its costs and affect its reputation. The integrity and readiness of our systems are also crucial for our activities.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
IT systems are key to carrying on a business activity and any security breach, whether accidental – due to network, hardware or software failures – or intentional – hacking attacks – or negligence – can have extremely negative impacts.
The intense competition to which Galp is subject may adversely affect its activity, as well as its operational results and financial performance.
Galp mitigates this risk with a set of measures, including control procedures and backup systems, as well as protective systems such as firewalls, antivirus and building safety.
These breaches may undermine, cause interruptions to or affect the quality of Galp's operations and be detrimental to its reputation in the event of any loss, unauthorised use or misuse of confidential information, loss of life, environmental damage or damage to the Company's assets, non-compliance with laws or regulations, fines or any other kind of penalty.
This kind of event may occur in systems managed by Galp or by its partners. Such failures may impact Galp´s activity and consequently its assets and profitability.
The Company has recently created the position of Chief Information Security Officer within the Risk Management Department. This officer is responsible for implementing a cyber-resilient capacity, overseeing cybernetic security risks and responding to cybernetic security incidents through the CSIRT – Cyber Security Incident Response Team.
In addition, Galp has implemented information security policies and conducts regular cybersecurity surveys and audits, including a full holistic assessment of Galp's cybersecurity maturity, so as to gain a better understanding of the extent of potential threats and risks, which include the potential weaknesses of suppliers (critical and significant).
Galp's organic growth and results are dependent on the execution of its main investment projects.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
The execution of projects in which Galp is involved is exposed to an assortment of risks, technical, economic, legal, regulatory, commercial and others (e.g., climatic events, water availability or rising sea levels) which may affect project execution within the established budget and deadlines and conformity with the established specifications and operational reliability.
Projects sanctioned for incorrect assumptions or information may bring about significant deviations from the original estimates.
Project execution also depends on the performance of third parties, including partners, service providers and other contracted parties over which Galp has no control. The Company is therefore also exposed to this risk.
Any event which leads to the non-implementation of the best projects with the best technical and financial conditions may have an impact on the value of Galp's assets and results.
The final decision to invest in a project is based on feasibility studies and takes into account mitigation measures to protect project execution.
The execution stage is monitored on an ongoing basis, enabling risks to be identified and corrective measures to be implemented.
When Galp is not the operator, the various project phases are monitored by an internal multidisciplinary team.
Furthermore, as a result of its analysis process, including consortium entities, it forms partnerships with leading companies in the sector that have extensive project knowledge and experience, which means that the risk of poor performance in project execution is mitigated.
Galp has a careful selection and contracting process for suppliers, service providers and others, which combines operational, cybersecurity, compliance and EQS criteria, thus mitigating the associated risks.
Exposure to political developments and the resulting changes in operating environment can undermine the operations and adversely affect the value of Galp's assets and its results.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Galp has assets and operations in countries with low levels of political, legal and tax stability. |
Galp keeps itself informed about all the events that occur in the countries where it carries out its business and which may jeopardize its activity, especially in Brazil, Angola and Mozambique. |
| Galp's main E&P projects (the Lula/Iracema project in Brazil and the Mamba project in Mozambique), the supply and sale of natural gas and the marketing of oil products are located in high political risk countries. |
In countries where there is greater risk exposure, Galp fosters the development of a sustainable and enduring relationship with local stakeholders, such as suppliers, governments and the people. |
| Political instability, expropriation and nationalisation of assets, civil unrest, strikes, acts of terrorism, hostile acts against Galp personnel, its facilities, its transport systems and its digital infrastructure may cause damage to persons and interrupt or restrict operations, thereby adversely affecting Galp's ability to carry out these projects safely, reliably and profitably. |
In addition, Galp is building up a balanced project portfolio and continuously assesses the possibility of entering new countries, which helps to reduce its geopolitical risk exposure. |
| Materially adverse changes to the project's framework may undermine the operations and affect negatively the value of the assets and the results of Galp. |

| The nature, complexity and diversity of Galp's operations expose it to a broad range of disruptive risks. |
Galp has a Business Continuity Management System which aims to enhance the organisation's resilience in case of disruptions or crisis situations, facilitating the recovery of key activities and ensuring that the supply of products and services is restored to a minimum level within a pre-defined time period after any disruption, thereby minimising its effects. |
This risk category includes serious physical (natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods) and continuous risks (successive drought and change of precipitation patterns); information system failures; security (civil disorder, war and terrorism); cybersecurity risks; pandemic risks and operating contingencies related to the characteristics of Galp's activities.
These events may give rise to incidents that disrupt or threaten the dayto-day business operations and may have an impact on Galp's business continuity as well as on the value of its assets and results. Any event which disrupts business, even if expected, may have unforeseeable consequences and the ability to restore or replace critical operating capacity as quickly as possible is essential for minimising any such consequences.
The Business Continuity Management System includes the Business Continuity Policy, the Business Continuity Management Standard and the Crisis Management Response Structure Standard and 15 continuity plans, including the Crisis Management Plan, the Crisis Communication Plan and the Disaster Recovery Plan.
The Business Continuity Management System applies across the entire Group.
The Crisis Management Plan is also used in cyber crises (incidents which bring a business units to a standstill) as a complement to Cyber Crisis Management Plan under implementation.
The exposure to credit risk may significant and adversely affect Galp's operational results and financial situation.
| Risk factor | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty may not fulfil its contractual payment obligations, including in respect of financial investments and hedging instruments (relating to exchange rates, interest rates or others), as well as the risks that arise from the relationships between the Company and its customers, suppliers, service providers and other third parties. |
Galp drafts its contracts carefully, including appropriate trade conditions. It has a Credit Management Manual which ensures the transversal management of credit risk and establishes procedures for assessing exposure to credit risk, assigning a rating, setting credit limits and calculating the risk-return ratio for each client. |
An increase in the amount of credit granted to third parties may result in financial losses for the company.
As a result of these control measures, customer impairments have been steadily decreasing.
Galp is an integrated energy operator with a presence in several countries and it is exposed to internal/external factors, which bring uncertainty to its performance and the achievement of 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 to guarantee compliance with strategic objectives.
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 uncertainties - strategic, financial, operational, legal and governance, IT systems and human resources factors - and incorporates them into its business models to build a set of
future alternative scenarios which ensure the construction of a more resilient portfolio.
The Risk Management Policy establishes Galp's commitment to manage the inherent exposure in accordance with the Company's Risk Appetite, ensuring compliance with legislative, regulatory and ethical conduct requirements.
The Board of Directors approves annually a Risk Appetite Statement, which is reviewed each year taking potential strategy and context changes into account.
At the Board of Directors' meeting of 13 December 2019, the Board approved a Risk Appetite Statement regarding the underlying risk in the 2020-2025 Budget and Plan proposed by the Risk Management Department.
Additionally, the Risk Management Department tests the various business models underlying the Budget & Plan process, by introducing the volatility of the identified Key risk indicators (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 2020-2025 Budget & Plan, the Risk Management Department submitted this analysis to the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors and the Audit Board together with the Risk Appetite Statement. This activity allows an overview of the portfolio from a risk/return perspective.
Every quarter, the Risk Management Department, based on the impact/probability matrixes of the business units, reassesses Galp's overall risk matrix and the main mitigation measures and reports them to the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Board. This enables awareness to be raised about the main risks and external and internal opportunities by means of a top-down and bottom-up assessment.
The Risk Management Department, in conjunction with the
LROs, continuously monitors the KRIs and reports their progress to the Risk Management Committee on a quarterly basis. Mitigation actions are established whenever necessary.
On a monthly basis, the Risk Management Department checks on the implementation of mitigation actions and, every quarter, it reports their status to the Risk Management Committee and to the Audit Board.
Galp classifies risks by response categories to ensure that risks are within the guidelines issued by the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee in terms of risk limits and tolerance, 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 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 quarterly reported 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 2019 audit recommendations are at the final phase of implementation.
55. Core details of the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the Company for the financial information reporting procedure (Article 245(A)(1)(m) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
Galp has drafted and implemented rules and procedures which 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 which are either not covered or are insufficiently covered in the IAS/IFRS standards or SIC/IFRIC interpretations, Galp has an accounting manual which follows best market practices and which is applied internally as a complement to IFRS rules.
With the objective of appraising operational performance, Galp also discloses its results on a replacement cost-adjusted basis (RCA), which excludes non-recurring events and the inventory effect – in the case of the latter, because the cost of goods sold and raw materials consumed has been determined through the replacement cost method.
Recognising the technological dependence of these areas, Galp has characterised the control activities for financial reporting in relation to the use of support technologies (application/ information system) and identified the control activities for those technologies.
The documents that disclose financial information to capital markets are prepared by the Strategy and Investor Relations Department based on the information provided by the Accounting and Tax Department and the Corporate Planning and Control Department. 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.
In 2018, Galp developed and implemented an information system for monitoring the registration of insiders and people with access to this information (permanent and occasional insiders), including financial information, which meets the requirements arising from the recent European legislative reform in this area (Market Abused Regulation).
The area responsible for supporting investors is the Investor Relations (IR), which is part of the Strategy and Investor Relations Department.
Manager: Pedro Dias Investor Relations Officer: Otelo Ruivo Team: Inês Clares Santos, João G. Pereira, Teresa Rodrigues
The Strategy and Investor Relations Department performs all the duties of the investor support office. This department reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and its duties include proposing Galp's strategic guidelines and fostering a clear perception of the Company by its stakeholders in strategic, operational and financial terms. In particular, with respect to its investor support role, the IR team devises, manages and coordinates all the activities that are required in order to achieve Galp's objectives for capital market relations, particularly with shareholders, institutional investors and financial analysts.
The IR is responsible for ensuring that the Company's communications with capital markets result in an integrated and consistent perception of Galp's strategy and operations, thereby providing investors with sufficient up-to-date information to make informed decisions. To this end, the IR team produces and provides relevant, clear and accurate information about Galp to the market and does so in a regular, transparent and timely manner, with a view to information symmetry.
The IR team is also responsible for fulfilling statutory reporting obligations to the regulatory and market authorities, which includes drawing up reports disclosing Galp's results and the
Group's activities, drafting and disclosing communications on inside information, providing the information requested by investors, financial analysts and other capital market participants, as well as providing support for the Executive Committee in aspects relating to Galp's status as a publicly traded company.
The IR team monitors changes in the share prices of Galp and comparable companies. It supports the management team by means of direct and regular contact with national and foreign financial analysts and institutional investors, either at conferences and collective presentations aimed at investors or in bilateral meetings.
Galp's capital market communication policy aims to provide all the relevant information to allow reasoned judgements to be made about the evolution of the Company's activity, its expected and achieved results and the various risks and opportunities that may affect its activity.
With this in mind, Galp fosters transparent and consistent communication based on explanations of the criteria used in the provision of the information and clarification of the reasons for any amendments to it, in order to facilitate the comparison of the information provided in different reporting periods.
The website provides information on the Company's activities and strategy, including information for capital markets and other stakeholders, including up-to-date information about strategic execution and future expectations.
The website provides information on the Company's corporate governance, in compliance with the rules in force in the Portuguese market and in accordance with practices adopted by Galp.
The Company discloses its results on a quarterly basis on dates announced and included in its financial calendar.
The information disclosed to the market includes a summary of the operating information for each quarter - the Trading Update - which is usually issued two weeks before the announcement of the quarterly results.
The quarterly results report and supporting documents are usually released before the market opens on the previously announced date. This is followed by a conference call where the Company management team presents the main points of the announced results and holds a Q&A session. In the following days, other supporting documents are also published, including an editable table of results and the audio recordings and transcripts of the conference calls.
Galp publishes its quarterly, medium- and long-term results as estimated by the analysts who cover the Company's share and discloses a summary of their recommendations on the share price.
The website includes a section on Galp's share price history, comparisons with the evolution of the PSI-20 and comparable company share prices. In addition, this section of the website contains information about the Company's shareholding structure, including a description of the qualifying holdings and detailed past information about the payment of dividends.

The Remuneration Committee is the company body responsible for setting the amounts of remuneration payable to the members of Galp's company bodies and its Executive Committee. It 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 248-B(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.
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:
The fact that the non-executive directors – Paula Amorim, Marta Amorim, Francisco Teixeira Rêgo, Rui Paulo Gonçalves and Jorge Seabra de Freitas – are members of Amorim Energia's Board of Directors does not affect its independence as a member of the Remuneration Committee, since these members, individually or together, do not have the complete autonomy to take 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 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 establishes 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 2019, the Remuneration Committee held two meetings and detailed minutes were drawn up of these meetings.
One member of the Remuneration Committee attended the Annual General Meeting held on 12 April 2019. The Remuneration Committee Regulations include an obligation for the Chairman, or another member of the Remuneration Committee in the Chairman's absence, to be present at the Annual General Meeting, as well as at any other meeting, whenever the agenda includes a matter related to the remuneration of the members of the company bodies and committees or if his/her presence has been requested by the shareholders.
In 2019, 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 the Appendix to this report.
Specifically, Remuneration Committee member Jorge Armindo Carvalho Teixeira has a long professional record which includes working in listed companies and holding management positions, including as chairman, which has given him the appropriate knowledge about remuneration issues for company bodies in this type of company.
The Remuneration Committee submitted a statement on the 2019 Remuneration Policy for Galp's company bodies for the approval of the General Meeting held on 12 April 2019. This statement describes the processes for setting and implementing Galp's remuneration policy for 2019, as well as its general objectives and principles, in accordance with Law 28/2009 of 19 June 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/Recursos/Governance2019/regulamentos/ Declaracao%20Politica%20Remuneracao.pdf
A brief description of the Remuneration Policy for 2019 is provided below.
PART I 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 Chairman of the Board of Directors in recognition of his/ her special duties to represent the Company and in the case of 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 2019 includes 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.
Annual variable remuneration – the maximum potential cap represents 50% 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 50% of the total variable remuneration, with the amount being set in line with the following indicators:
• Cash Flow From Operations (CFFO), weighted at 55%;
• Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Galp vs. Peer Group (the Peer Group comprises Total, Repsol, OMV and ENI, together with the PSI 20TR Index and the SXEGR Index, which are considered references in the national and European energy market, respectively), weighted at 25%;
• Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE), weighted at 20%.
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.
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 potentiall cap of 60% of the total annual fixed remuneration for each variable remuneration component. This is in line with generally recognised practice in the Portuguese market and internationally and is considered to represent a reasonable proportion between the variable annual fixed remuneration components.
PART I D - REMUNERATION
The remuneration structure of the executive members of the Board of Directors is as follows:

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 his/her position, in accordance with the Company's terms and conditions, including the use of a vehicle and paid health and life insurance.
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 claw back the variable remuneration paid to the member or members in question which it deems appropriate for the period of the said unlawful action.
The remuneration of the members of the Audit Board consists of a fixed monthly sum paid twelve times a year, with the Chairman of the Audit Board receiving higher remuneration by virtue of the special duties s/he performs.
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 at 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 Chairman, Vice-Chairman and the Secretary. It is based on the Company's financial position and market practices.
The 2019 Remuneration Policy for executive directors builds on the previous year's policy in four key matters:
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 long-term 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 and reinforced in 2019.
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 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 2019 Remuneration Policy described above.
Accordingly, the use of qualitative criteria oriented towards a strategic medium-term perspective in the development of the Company, the three-year period used for setting the multiannual 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.
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 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. 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 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 are appropriate to encourage management objectives, as previously defined by the Remuneration Committee.
In order to best stimulate the alignment of the executive directors' practices with the Company's long-term sustainable interests, a multi-annual objectives 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.
Each year, objectives are set for the following three-year period, with the three-year appraisal being made at the end of each three-year period. The first three-year period for which multiannual objectives were set was 2013–2015. In 2019, the 2016– 2018 three-year period was assessed and the corresponding remuneration 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 threeyear 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
The Remuneration Policy for 2019 establishes a mechanism for partial payment of the variable triennial remuneration through shares of the Company in order to promote the alignment of the Company with the long-term interests of the shareholders.
Accordingly, 20% of the triennial remuneration is mandatorily paid in shares and the remainder either in shares or in cash. Payment only takes place after each three-year period. In any case, each executive director has the option to increase by 10% their payment in shares with an additional 1 year holding period.
Galp currently has no system for allocating variable remuneration in options.
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.
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 2019 Remuneration Policy approved by the General Meeting and described in Section 69 of this report provides for a right to 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.
The gross annual amount of remuneration received by the members of the Company's Board of Directors during the 2019 financial year, as set by the Remuneration Committee, was €7,373,465 in total, of which €4,360,489 was fixed remuneration, €1,488,960 was variable remuneration, €894,254 was for the retirement savings plan, and €629,762 was for other benefits.

PART I D - REMUNERATION
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 profit-sharing packages and/or payments of bonuses.
No severance pay was paid or owed to former executive directors in respect of the termination of their duties during the 2019 financial year.
The remuneration policy makes no provision for an indemnity or severance pay to be awarded to directors for termination of their duties for poor performance, without prejudice to the laws in force on this matter and, therefore, no director may claim an indemnity or severance pay apart from the statutory payment.
The resolutions of the Remuneration Committee are the appropriate and necessary legal instruments for determining the non-claimability of such amounts.
The aggregate remuneration paid to the members of the Audit Board in 2019, as per the terms set by the Remuneration Committee, was €129,711.
The individual remuneration amounts paid in 2019 to the current members of the Audit Board and to the members of the Audit Board from the previous term who remained in office since 12 April 2019 were as follows:
| Name/Position | Gross fixed remuneration (€) |
|---|---|
| José Pereira Alves (Chairman) | 43,167 |
| Maria de Fátima Geada (Member) | 30,217 |
| Pedro Antunes de Almeida (Member) | 37,287 |
The outgoing members of the Audit Board who left office on 12 April 2019 were paid the following remuneration:
| Name/Position | Gross fixed remuneration (€) |
|---|---|
| Daniel Bessa (Chairman) | 11,900 |
| Gracinda Raposo (Member) | 7,140 |

PART I D - REMUNERATION
In 2019, the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting received €3,500 in remuneration.
In accordance with the 2019 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.
The 2019 remuneration policy does not envisage any indemnity or severance pay for members of the Board of Directors as a result of their dismissal or the early cessation of a director's term of office, with this being the legal instrument and mechanism to avoid, directly or indirectly, payments to such a director of any amounts beyond those established by law.
84. Reference to the existence and description, with details of the sums involved, of any agreements between the Company and the members of the Board of Directors and senior managers, within the meaning of Article 248-B(3) of the Portuguese Securities Code, which make provision for severance pay in the event of resignation, unfair dismissal or termination of employment following a successful takeover bid (Article 245-A(1)(l) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
Galp is not a party to any agreement with the members of the Board of Directors or senior managers, within the meaning of Article 248-B (3) of the Portuguese Securities Code, which
provides for severance pay in the event of resignation, unfair dismissal or termination of the employment relationship following a change in the control of the Company.
Galp has no stock option plans.
The Remuneration Policy for 2019 establishes a mechanism for partial payment of the variable triennial remuneration through shares of the Company in order to promote the alignment of the Company with the long-term interests of the shareholders.
Galp has no stock options plans.
In terms of eligibility, the plan is only applicable to executive directors appointed during the first year of the three-year plan (1st half: 100%; 3rd quarter: 50%; 4th quarter: 25%). In the case of an end of term or termination under mutual agreement, the director is entitled to receive shares in a pro-rata basis at the end of the plan period.
Instalment vesting will be applied in the first two years (1/6 each year).
The shares will be received (and can only be transferred) in the end of the three-year plan and after the performance evaluation.
If the director opts for an additional 1 year holding period, he will be entitled to receive plus 10% of Galp´s shares.
The reference price will be determined based on the average
daily price of the two months prior to the beginning of the three-year plan.
Galp has no share plans or share purchase options.
88. Control mechanisms envisaged for a possible employee-shareholder system since voting rights are not directly exercised by these employees (Article 245-A(1)(e) of the Portuguese Securities Code).
Galp has no share purchase options.
I - Control mechanisms and procedures
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.
These internal procedures impose the following main principles:
(I) any contractual commitment between any Galp Group entities and any related party must be carried out at arm's length;
(II) the execution by any Galp Group entities and a related party of any relevant transactions (as described below) requires the prior opinion of the Audit Board (see Section 91 below for further details about the applicable procedure); (III) the execution by any Galp Group entity and a related party of any relevant transactions (as described below) which have a single financial value in excess of €20 million also requires the prior approval of the Board of Directors.
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 divestment of shareholdings or other assets; and (III) any other transactions where there is a high risk of conflicts of interest.
In 2019, there were no related-party transactions subject to the 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 internal regulation entitled "Galp Group Transactions with Related Parties", in order to safeguard the Galp Group's interest in potential conflict-ofinterest situations, without prejudice to compliance with the law. This regulation is available at: https://www.galp.com/corp/ Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/SharedResources/ Documentos/EN/NT-R-013-%20Galp%20Group%20 Related%20Parties%20Transactions%20(Rev%2002).pdf
This regulation applies to any relevant transactions between Galp (or any Galp Group entity) and related parties.
PART I E - TRANSACTIONS WITH 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 normal market conditions.
The Audit Board must issue an opinion within five business days, failing which the opinion will be deemed favourable.
In urgent and unusual cases, approved in advance and duly justified in accordance with the applicable approval rules, when it is not feasible or possible to obtain the favourable prior opinion of the Audit Board without a significant loss of value in the relevant transaction for the Galp Group, the opinion must be requested immediately afterwards.
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.
Related-party transactions are communicated to the Audit Board by the Board of Directors and/or the Executive Committee on a six-monthly basis.
Information on any related-party transactions, in accordance with IAS 24, is available in Note 28 to the Consolidated Accounts.
Under and for the purposes of Article 2 of CMVM Regulation No. 4/2013, Galp voluntarily decided to follow the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance, as approved in 2018 and available on its website at http://www.cgov.pt
The Company has adopted the vast majority of the applicable recommendations of the PICG Corporate Governance Code. Out of a total of 60 recommendations:

The justification for the adoption of each recommendation (or sub-recommendation, if split) and the reference to the section or sections of the chapter in this report where the matter is addressed (Section) are given in the table below. This includes an explanation as to why a certain recommendation was not adopted or is not applicable, as well as an indication of any alternative mechanism selected by the Company to pursue the same objective as the relevant recommendation (explain is equivalent to comply).

Not applicable. Galp's Bylaws do not establish this restriction |
Section 13 |
|---|---|---|
| II.6. The company should not adopt mechanisms that imply payments or the assumption of charges in the case of a transfer of control or a change in the composition of the management board, and which are likely to harm the free transferability of shares and a shareholder appraisal of the performance of the members of the management board. |
Adopted. | Section 4 |
| Chapter III - Non-executive management and supervision | ||

Without prejudice to the statutory duties of the chair of the management board, if he or she is not independent, the independent directors should appoint a coordinator (lead independent director) from amongst them, namely, to: (I) act, when necessary, as an intermediary between the chair of the board of directors and other directors, (II) make sure the necessary conditions and resources exist for them to perform their duties; and (III) coordinate the independent directors in appraising the performance of the management board, as established in recommendation V.1.1. |

| III.2. The number of non-executive members of the management board, as well as the number of members of the supervisory board and the number of the members of the financial affairs committee should be suitable for the size of the company and the complexity of the risks involved in its activity, but sufficient to perform efficiently the duties attributed to them. |
Adopted2. | Sections 18 and 31 |
2Please note that part of this recommendation regarding the financial affairs committee is not applicable since the issuer has not adopted the German structure, under Article 278(1)(c) and (4) of the Companies Code and, therefore, it has no financial affairs committee.
PART II 2. ANALYSIS OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADOPTED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE
| 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 is no less than one-third, but always more than one, who satisfy the legal requirements for independence. For the purposes of this recommendation, an independent person is one who is not associated with any specific group of interest within the company and there is nothing that could affect their impartiality in terms of analysis and decision-making, namely because: I. he/she has held a position on any of the governing bodies for more than twelve years, either on a consecutive or non-consecutive basis; II. he/she has been an employee of the company or of a company with which it is in a controlling or group relationship in the last three years; III. in the last three years, he/she has provided services to or established a significant business relationship with the company or with a company with which it is in a controlling or group relationship, either directly or as a partner, board member, manager or director of the legal person; IV. is receiving remuneration paid by the Company or by a company with which it is in a controlling or group relationship, in addition to the remuneration received as a director; v. is cohabiting or is married to, related to or next of kin to, up to and including direct third-degree relatives, a member of the management board or of someone who, directly or indirectly, holds individual qualifying holdings; VI. is a qualifying shareholder or representative of a qualifying shareholder. |
Adopted. | Section 18 |
| III.5. The provisions of (I) of recommendation III.4 does not prevent the classification of a new director as independent if a period of three years has elapsed (cooling-off period) between the end of his/her duties on any of the company's bodies and the new appointment. |
Not applicable. There are no directors in this situation. |
|
| III.6. Non-executive directors should participate with the management board in establishing the strategy, main policies, business structure and decisions that must be deemed strategic for the company due to the amount or risk of the same, as well as in assessing whether these have been achieved. |
Adopted. | Section 18 |
PART II 2. ANALYSIS OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADOPTED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE
| III.7. The general and supervisory board should, within its powers under the law and the by-laws, work with the management board in establishing the strategy, main policies, business structure and decisions that must be deemed strategic for the company due to the amount or risk of the same, as well as in assessing whether these have been achieved. |
Not applicable. This is not in line with Galp's governance model |
|
|---|---|---|
| III.8. The general and supervisory board, in observance of the powers conferred to it by law, should, in particular, monitor, evaluate, and comment on the strategic lines and on the risk policy established by the management board. |
Adopted. | Sections 38 and 51 |
| III.9. Companies should create specialised internal committees which are appropriate for their size and complexity, separately or cumulatively covering matters of corporate governance, remuneration, performance appraisal and appointments. |
Explain equivalent to adoption. The Company has set up specialised committees to address the remuneration and performance appraisal of the company bodies, audit, risk, sustainability, EQS, ethics and conduct. Given the Company's governance model and Portuguese companies law, the Audit Board is the internal body responsible for assessing corporate governance matters. Explain equivalent to adoption. The Remuneration Committee elected pursuant to Article 399 of the Companies Code |
Section 16, 24 and 27 |
materially equivalent for adopting this part of the recommendation.
PART II
| Explain equivalent to adoption. Under Portuguese law, the appointment of directors is a responsibility attributed to the shareholders. In order to avoid any conflicts of interest or agency issues, the Board of Directors has not appointed any committee to deal with matters related to the appointment of its own members or members of other company bodies (such as the Audit Board members), without prejudice to the adoption of a diversity policy for the members of the management and supervisory boards which also includes personal profile criteria for the members to be nominated. |
||
|---|---|---|
| III.10. Risk management systems, internal control and internal auditing systems should be structured to the size of the company and the complexity of the risks involved in its activity. |
Adopted. | Sections 50 - 55 |
| III.11. The supervisory board and the financial affairs committee should supervise the effectiveness of the risk management, internal control and internal auditing systems and propose adjustments where necessary. |
Adopted3. | Sections 38, 50, 51 and 54 |
3Please note that part of this recommendation regarding the financial affairs committee is not applicable since the issuer has not adopted the German structure, under Article 278(1)(c) and (4) of the Companies Code and, therefore, it has no financial affairs committee.
PART II 2. ANALYSIS OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADOPTED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE
| III.12. The supervisory board should provide its view on the work plans and the resources allocated to the internal auditing section, including overseeing compliance with the rules applied to the company (compliance services) and internal auditing, and should receive the reports prepared by these services, at least regarding matters related to the approval of accounts, the identification and resolution of conflicts of interest, and the detection of potential irregularities. |
Adopted. | Sections 50 and 51 |
|---|---|---|
| Chapter IV. Executive management | ||
| IV.1. The management board should approve, by means of internal or equivalent regulations, the rules on how executive directors should act and on holding executive positions outside of the Group. |
Adopted. | Section 26 |
| IV.2.

The management board should conduct an annual appraisal of its own performance and the performance of its committees taking 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 its relationship with the company's other bodies and committees. |
Adopted. | Section 24 |
|---|---|---|
| V.1.2. The supervisory board should supervise the management of the company, especially, by conducting an annual appraisal of 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 relationship with the company's other bodies and committees. |
Adopted. | Section 38 |

| V.2.1. Remuneration should be set by a committee composed in such a way as to guarantee its independence from management. |
Adopted. | Sections 66 and 67 |
| V.2.2. The remuneration committee should approve at the start of each term of office, and execute, and confirm each year, the remuneration policy for the members of the company's boards and committees, including the fixed components. As to executive directors or directors periodically invested with executive duties, if there is a variable remuneration component, the committee should also approve, execute and confirm the criteria for attributing and measuring this component, the limitation mechanisms, the mechanisms for deferral of payment and the remuneration mechanisms based on the allocation of options and shares of the company. |

| V.3.5. The remuneration of non-executive directors should not include any component that is dependent on the performance or value of the company. |
Adopted. | Section 69 |
|---|---|---|
| V.3.6. The company should have suitable legal instruments so that the termination of a director's time in office before the end of his/ her term does not directly or indirectly result in the payment to that director of any amounts beyond those provided for by law. The company's governance report should contain an explanation of the legal mechanisms adopted for this purpose. |
Adopted. | Section 83 |
| V.4. Appointments | ||
| V.4.1. The company should ensure, in the terms that it deems appropriate, but which can be duly demonstrated, that proposals for the appointment of the members of the governing bodies are accompanied by a justification of their suitability, skills and know-how, and experience for the duties to be performed by each one. |
Adopted. | Sections 16 and 19 |
| V.4.2. The overview of and support for appointing senior executives should be allocated to a nomination committee, unless this is not warranted by the size of the company. |
Not applicable. With reference to the appointment of senior executives, pursuant to Article 248(3)(b) 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 (and who are therefore appraised by the Remuneration Committee). There are therefore no |
senior executives within the meaning of the
Glossary
of the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance.
V.4.3. This committee has a majority of independent non-executive members.
With regard to the same committee as envisaged in Recommendation V.4.2, this recommendation is not considered applicable either. In addition, under Portuguese company law, the appointment of directors is a responsibility attributed to the shareholders. In order to avoid any conflicts of interest or agency issues, the Board of Directors has not appointed any committee to address matters related to the appointment of its members or of the members of other company bodies (such as the members of the Audit Board).
V.4.4. The appointments committee should make its terms of reference available and should foster, to the extent of its powers, transparent selection processes which include effective mechanisms for identifying potential candidates and that those chosen for proposal are those who have a higher degree of merit, are best suited to the demands of the duties to be performed and who will best promote suitable diversity, including gender diversity, within the organisation.

Adopted. | Sections 51 and 54 |
|---|---|---|
| VI.2. Based on its risk policy, the company should establish a risk management system, identifying (I) the main risks involved in carrying out its activity; (II) the probability of these risks occurring and their respective impact; (III) the arrangements and measures to be adopted to mitigate them; (IV) the monitoring procedures, aiming at monitoring these risks; and (V) the procedure for the supervision, periodic assessment and adjustment of the system. |
Adopted. | Sections 50, 51, 53 and 54 |
| VI.3. The company should conduct an annual appraisal of the level of internal compliance and the performance of the risk management system, as well as of future perspectives for altering the previously defined risk structure. |

| VII.1. Financial information | ||
| VII.1.1.

Adopted. | Sections 38 and 55 |
PART II
| VII.2.1. Through the use of internal regulations, the supervisory board should establish: I. the criteria and process for selecting the statutory auditor; II. the method of communication between the company and the statutory auditor; III. the monitoring procedures aimed at ensuring the independence of the statutory auditor; IV. the non-auditing services which may not be provided by the statutory auditor. |
Adopted. | Sections 38 and 55 |
|---|---|---|
| VII.2.2. The supervisory board should be the main contact for the statutory auditor in the company and the first to receive its reports. It has the power to propose its remuneration and to ensure suitable conditions within the company for the services to be provided. |
Adopted. | Section 38 |
| VII.2.3. The supervisory board should conduct an annual appraisal of the work done by the statutory auditor, its independence and fitness for the performance of its duties. It should propose to the relevant body the dismissal of the same or the termination of the services agreement whenever there is just cause to do so. |
Adopted. | Section 38 |
| VII.2.4. The statutory auditor should, within the scope of its powers, verify the application of remuneration policies and systems for the governing bodies, the effectiveness and functioning of the internal control mechanisms, and report any shortcomings to the supervisory board. |
Not applicable4. This recommendation is not applicable since it does not seem feasible to monitor precisely the competences that fall to the statutory auditor and not to the company. This understanding is confirmed by the Executive Supervision and Monitoring Committee. |
|
| VII.2.5. The statutory auditor should work together with the supervisory board and immediately provide it information about the detection of any irregularities relevant for the performance of the supervisory board's duties, as well as any difficulties encountered whilst carrying out its work. |
Not applicable5. This recommendation is not applicable for the same reasons as explained in the previous Recommendation (VII.2.4). |
4This classification is based on the assessment of the 2018 governance report conducted by the Executive Oversight and Monitoring Committee and on section 8 of the PICG 2018 corporate governance code interpretation rule.

This report serves as the Annual Integrated Management Report and Accounts in accordance with Portuguese and EU legislation requirements as filed with the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) for the year ended December 31, 2019, for Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as "Galp"). This report presents the Management Report, the Corporate Governance Report, the Consolidated Financial Statements of Galp and the Individual Financial Statements of the Company. This report contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements other than in respect of historical facts 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 these statements. The words "aim", "ambition", "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "goals", "intends", "may", "objectives", "outlook", "plan", "probably", "risks", "schedule", "seek", "should", "target", "will" and similar terms and expressions usually identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding objectives, goals, strategies, outlook and growth prospects; future plans, events or performance and potential for future growth; liquidity, capital resources and capital expenditures; economic outlook and industry trends; energy demand and supply; developments of Galp's markets; the impact of regulatory initiatives; and the strength of Galp's competitors. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including, without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although Galp believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors, which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control. Important factors that may lead to significant differences between the actual results and the statements of expectations about future events or results include, without limitation, the Company's business strategy; industry developments; price fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and power; changes in demand for Galp's products and services; currency fluctuations; economic and financial market conditions; legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, including regulatory measures addressing climate change; political risks; changes in trading conditions and uncertainty of the results of future projects and operations, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, among others. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause the actual results of Galp or the industry to differ materially from those results expressed or implied in this report by such forward-looking statements. See also "Risk factors" in this report for additional risks and further discussion. No assurance is provided that future dividend payment will correspond or exceed previous dividend distributions. All forward-looking statements contained in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The information, opinions and forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as at the date of this report, and are subject to change without notice. Galp and its respective representatives, agents, employees or advisers do not have, and expressly disclaim any duty, undertaking or obligation to, make or disseminate any supplement, amendment, update or revision to any of the information, opinions or forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
