In this respect, the Company's main commitments for the next 10 years are the following:
These commitments define more broadly a framework for responsible business behavior and, in particular, how environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are managed by each Business Unit and subsidiary of MYTILINEOS, with the aim of enhancing their capacity to generate long-term and sustainable value.
The way in which MYTILINEOS creates and allocates value for the Company itself, its shareholders, the providers of financial capital, its other Stakeholders and society at large, is a key element of its business model.
From approaching the markets, developing and maintaining customer relationships and purchasing raw materials, to producing, marketing and selling its products right through to the end of their lifecycle, and to raising funds, MYTILINEOS creates an important value chain with strong social and economic impact. Across all its sectors of business activity, the Company supports incomes, tax revenues and jobs and, respectively, the same applies for its suppliers and business partners within their own value chain. This way, a multiple positive footprint is generated, reaching beyond the range of its business activities to affect domestic employment and the relevant professional sectors in the overall economy.
An illustration of MYTILINEOS' Business Model is presented below, together with the value created by the Company on the economic, environmental and social level as a result of its business activity.


2022 started with positive prospects for the Greek economy, which is expected to maintain its strong pace of growth, recovering from a very low level, owing to the prolonged recession followed by the pandemic.
In 2021, Greece could achieve a stronger-than-expected post-Covid economic rebound, exceeding the budgeted GDP growth rate estimate of 6.9%, with the European Commission now forecasting a growth rate of 8.5% for 2021, while for 2022 and 2023 GDP growth has been projected at around 5% and 3.5% respectively, for a cumulative three-year period GDP growth just shy of 18%.
However, the next couple of years could become a turning point for the Greek economy, among others, for two reasons. The first is a possible upgrade of Greece's sovereign-debt rating to "Investment Grade", for the first time since the financial crisis, which in turn could result in a significant increase in investment flows. The upgrade of Greece's credit rating, may not take long until it happens, considering that the country is currently two notches short of the investment status.
The second, is the key contribution of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) to the Greek economy which is expected to exceed the €30bn (>15% of country's current GDP) over the course of the next few years, in grants and loans with favorable terms, strengthening Greek banks and the Greek economy as a whole. RRF's contribution, in major infrastructure and energy projects, will be instrumental, as "Green Transition" is one of the Facility's main pillars.
The prospects of regaining the "Investment Grade" status as well as the inflows expected from the Recovery and Resilience Facility coupled with other EU funding, should offer an extra boost in vital sectors of the Greek economy, with analysts expecting strong post-Covid growth going forward as consumer spending is returning to pre-pandemic levels, while savings accumulation during pandemic could further enhance private spending. In the meantime, Greece is gradually making progress in attracting significant foreign investments.
At a regional and global level, critical issues such as the inflationary pressures stemming mainly from the energy crisis, supply chain disruptions, the evolution of the pandemic as well as today's geopolitical turbulence, with Ukraine being at the center, are expected to remain in the front line and affect the course of the global economy during 2022.
At the same time, the main central banks are moving more aggressively with interest rate hikes. While ECB remains cautious, the bank is preparing the ground for a potential interest rate increase provided inflation remains high. The knock-on effect on interest rates, on top of the consequential increase in borrowing cost, which could affect a number of under-capitalized companies, could potentially result in portfolio reshuffling and increased volatility in markets that have been historically benefited from loose monetary policies.
MYTILINEOS, following a record-high profitability in 2021, is building momentum having laid the foundation for an even stronger 2022. The company's proven business model's resilience coupled with the completion of significant investments as well as its well-capitalized balance sheet, safeguard future profitability from exogenous factors, maintaining in that way MYTILINEOS' steep growth trajectory in years to come!
2021 was marked (a) by the surge in European natural gas prices, due to the global increase in demand for natural gas, owed to the restart of the economy in the post-Covid era (without a respective increase in offer) coupled with a surge in CO2 prices, which led in a significant increase of the wholesale prices (DAM) and (b) from the growth in domestic electricity demand (+4.6% compared to 2020) due to the extreme summer temperatures.
In this environment, the company's ability, owed to the size of its portfolio (the company's natural gas imports represent the 22% of total domestic imports), to source natural gas in competitive prices combined with the high efficiency, availability, reliability and flexibility of its plants (two CCGTs and one CHP), resulted in a total production of 5.08TWh. This production represents 9.7% of total demand in the interconnected system as well as 23.3% of total production from natural gas fired plants. Total production from company's thermal plants and RES came in at 5.62 TWh, representing a 10.7% of total domestic demand.

The following chart, shows coverage per energy source of total electricity demand (in TWh) for 2021 and 2020:
It is also noted that, in the context of maintaining high efficiency rate, availability, reliability and flexibility of its units, MYTILINEOS proceeded with a successful 3-month "Major Inspection" of its Korinthos Power Plant during the period, between March to May. The power plant has been operating since early June, contributing to Greece's energy demand.
Regarding electricity supply, Protergia is consistently growing its presence in retail market, with 334,000 electricity and natural gas meters as at the end of 2021, compared to 285,000 meters in 2020, while its electricity market share reached c.7.07% at the end of 2021
The Company's RES production capacity reached 210.7 MW. In February, MYTILINEOS sold its minority shares of the ADERES Wind Park of 11.5 MW capacity, while the construction of the new 43.2MW capacity Wind Park, which is expected to come online on the 4th quarter of 2022, is currently under way. In 2021, the Company, in cooperation with EGNATIA IKE, commenced the development of 130MW of Solar PV projects, which will soon enter the construction phase. Additionally, the Company announced the Joint Venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for the development and construction of offshore wind parks, once the required legal and regulatory framework is in place.
Finally, the construction of the new 826MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) unit with General Electric's H-Class gas turbine is proceeding normally and in accordance with the initial timeline. Power plant's operation is expected during summer 2022, strongly contributing to the country's transition to an energy mix with a significantly lower carbon footprint. The project is executed by the Company's Sustainable Engineering Solutions Business Unit with important synergies, ensuring reduced investment cost.
The positive aluminium and alumina pricing environment, as it was formed at the end of 2021, has been further enhanced in early 2022, resulting in a sharp increase in prices, particularly those of aluminium and aluminium Premia. Unfulfilled demand due to supply shortages, supply chain disruptions, higher raw materials, energy as well as transportation costs contributed to inflation rise, and thus a commodity price increase. Soaring energy prices in Europe during H1 2021, led to production cuts or even closure of some aluminum smelters. The impact of the reduced European metal supply was depicted in the billet Premia which increased significantly. Although, alumina prices increased on a year-on-year basis, the growth did not follow that of the Aluminum prices.
The H2 2020 upward trend of aluminum prices, maintained throughout 2021, taking the average LME aluminium price to \$2,484/t, significantly higher (+44%) than the corresponding period of the previous year (\$1,728/t).
Equally important is the high levels of the aluminium Premia in Europe and the billet Premia in particular, which increased by 145% over 2020.
Alumina API index moved higher, with the average 2021 price coming in at \$330/t, a c.22% increase over last year.
U.S. dollar moved lower against Euro, reaching €/\$ 1.18, a c.4% weakening compared to 2020 (€/\$ 1.14).
Global economy recovery fueled raw material, energy (mainly oil and natural gas), transportation cost as well as CO2 price increases, thus pushing both alumina and aluminium production costs up during 2021 by c.35% vs.2020.
The new Metallurgy, competitiveness programme, "HEPHAESTUS" was successfully completed at the end of 2021, resulting in a historic performance in cumulative production of both primary and secondary aluminum as well as the production of hydrated alumina. Alumina and aluminium production levels increased by 5% compared to 2020.
MYTILINEOS is strategically focused on the continuous improvement of its sustainability performance and committed to the ESG targets which have been set in February 2021 ESG Summit. Under this concept, Renewable & Storage Development Business Unit continues to focus on the timely execution of the existing contracts and the undertaking of new projects and investments on targeted markets with increased green energy needs, through both the construction of projects for third parties, as well as through its own development platform.
Following a slow start in the first half of the year affected from increased costs on main equipment transportation, the RSD BU showed signs of its growth potential, with improved performance, over the previous year, driven mainly by the contribution of Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT) activity.
Capitalising on our significant Solar EPC capabilities, our Renewables and Storage Development Business Unit is implementing a project development platform for Solar PV & Energy Storage projects, aiming to develop, construct and potentially monetise internally developed projects.
Under this platform our Renewables and Storage Development Business Unit is developing projects with a mature aggregate capacity of approximately c. 2.0 GW in Spain, Italy, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Chile, Australia, Romania, South Korea, Portugal, and the Republic of Ireland. On top of the above, BOT portfolio also includes projects in earlystage of development, with capacity of c.3.0 GW.
The Renewables & Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit, has notably improved its performance compared to 2020, showing its growth prospects. In particular, the RSD BU has recorded €365 million turnover in 2021, compared to €263
million in 2020, which corresponds to 13.7% of company's total turnover. EBITDA, stood at €22 million, from €15 million in 2020, posting a 41% increase.

| EBITDA | 22 | 15 | 43% |
| Margins (%) | Δ(bps) | ||
| EBITDA | 6% | 6% | 9 |
Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT) transactions, were major contributors in the aforementioned performance, with two new transactions have been concluded during the year, for the sale of projects with 89MW & 100MW capacity in Romania and Spain respectively.
Other factors contributed towards RSD's performance, were also the contracting and commencement of construction of a series of projects in South America, Europe and Uzbekistan. In total, 878MW of projects have been contracted in 2021, with the signed backlog currently standing at €260 million, while €91 million of projects are in mature stages of contracting.
Additionally, 2021 has been the first year during which BU's turnover was enhanced from Solar Plants that came in operation in Australia and Cyprus.
Finally, it should be noted that the backlog for the RSD Business Unit existing projects amounts to € 260 million. The table below shows the expected income for the main projects per country which contribute significantly to the total backlog.

*The Companies which are consolidated with equity method and own Renewable Energy Units with capacity of 16.7MW are not included in the amounts of RES.
The Group's policy is to monitor its performance on a month to month basis thus tracking on time and effectively the deviations from its goals and undertaking necessary actions. The group evaluates its financial performance using the following generally accepted Key Performance Indicators (KPI's):
-EBITDA (Operating Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization): The Group defines the «Group EBITDA» quantity as profits/losses before tax, itemized for financial and investment results; for total depreciation (of tangible and intangible fixed assets) as well as for the influence of specific factors, i.e. shares in the operational results of associates where these are engaged in business in any of the business sectors of the Group, as well as the influence of write-offs made in transactions with the aforementioned mentioned associates.
-ROCE (Return on Capital Employed): This index is derived by dividing profit before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, to the total capital employed by the Group, these being the sum of the Net Position; Total Debt; and Long term forecasts.
- ROE (Return on Equity): This index is derived by dividing profit after tax by the Group's Net Position.
- EVA (Economic Value Added): This metric is derived by multiplying the total capital employed with the difference (ROCE – Capital Expenditure) and constitutes the amount by which the financial value if the company increases. To calculate the capital expenditure, the Group uses the WACC formula – « Weighted Cost of Capital».
The Weighted average cost of capital is calculated as, the quotient of Equity Capital to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied by the return on Equity* plus the quotient of Debt to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied by the return on Debt adjusted by the company tax rate (due to tax saving on interest paid).
$$WACC = \frac{E}{E+D}r_E + \frac{D}{E+D}r_D(1-Tc)$$
Where E Equity Capital D Debt rE Return on equity rD Return on debt Tc Tax rate
*Return on Equity is calculated by utilizing the "Capital Asset Pricing Model" (CAPM) and is equal to risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium multiplied by beta coefficient that reveals the variability of the stock in relation to market fluctuations.
The calculation of the indicator Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for the 2021 sums to 3.80% and is based on the countries in which the Group operates.
The above indicators for 2021 compared with 2020 are as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | 358.508 | 314.993 |
| ROCE | 10,5% | 8,8% |
| ROE | 10,5% | 8,5% |
| EVA | 203.422 | 71.050 |
During the reporting period, the Group proceed to the following:
On 13 January 2021 - MYTILINEOS S.A. announced the signing of an agreement through its subsidiary ZEOLOGIC S.A., with INWASTE S.A., for the design, supply and construction of an innovative treatment plant for Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Solid Waste and Sludge in Greece.

We aim to expand this Business Model in all the countries where we are currently developing RES.
On 27 May 2021 a 14% of the Greek population (20-64 years old) are people with a disability; however, we rarely come across them at work, education, and social life. But even more alarming is that 60% of young people with disabilities in Greece, aged 25-29 years, are unemployed, recording one of the highest negative rates in Europe. A significant part of human capital remains inactive and untapped, causing harm to everyone, both individually, socially, and economically. MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the Social Enterprise knowl, has designed an innovative 6-month program, the "mellonabilities", aimed at providing personalized development of professional skills to people with disabilities (suffering from mobility, visual and auditory impairment), at zero cost for the benefited individuals. However, disability does not mean lack of ability. Modern training models and new technologies can and do allow people with disabilities to acquire specialized skills by achieving a balanced connection of their professional profile with their desired job. The aim is the targeted preparation of disabled participants for successful labor market inclusion, given additional qualifications and understand those conditions that facilitate access and inclusion into the labor market, fostering a culture (candidates, employers, HR/Training/Advisory organizations) that would help develop a sustainable employability model.
MYTILINEOS initiative joins the effort of supporting the Global Sustainable Development Goals for Zero Poverty (1), Decent work & Economic Growth (8) and Reduction of Inequality (10) by 2030. MYTILINEOS, acknowledging that boosting of employment is a key pillar of its social policy, focuses its efforts on the preparation of quality and sustainable jobs. At the same time, the #Homellon program continues for the second year. It is one more initiative by MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the Social Enterprise knowl, to reintegrate homeless people into the labor market. Note that the program's first cycle was completed in December 2020, with excellent outcomes, as most benefited individuals are now employed.
On 3 June 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A. is the first Greek company to declare its support for the "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures" (TCFD) initiative, proving its solid commitment to ESG and specifically its goal to create a more resilient financial system and safeguarding against climate change. The TCFD initiative, chaired by Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies, provides participants with the necessary recommendations to address the financial impact of climate change on their business. The main purpose of the TCFD, is to help the investment community identify the information needed to assess the risks and opportunities associated with climate change in the context of investment decisions. At the same time, on a business level, adapting to these recommendations is not only a matter of Sustainable Development, but also a matter of funding, strategy, and better risk management. Increased disclosures in accordance with sector recommendations will help global markets make more efficient capital allocation decisions and adjust appropriately to the disruptive effects of global climate change. Implementing the TCFD recommendations provides MYTILINEOS with: • Easier and better access to capital by increasing investors' and lenders' confidence and ensuring that climate-related risks are appropriately assessed and managed, • Better ability to meet existing disclosure requirements by reporting material information in financial filings, • Increased awareness and understanding of climate-related risks and opportunities, resulting in better risk management and more informed strategic planning, and • The ability to proactively address investors' demand for climate-related information in a framework that investors are increasingly interested in and asking for. Supporters of the TCFD span the public and private sectors, including national
governments, central banks, stock exchanges, credit rating agencies, financial institutions and private sector businesses from a variety of industries.

On 9 August 2021 the unprecedented wildfires that have been raging in Greece since the beginning of August and are causing an enormous damage, require, among other things, the immediate use of as many firefighting equipment and related equipment as possible, in order to stop their catastrophic spread. From the first moment that the magnitude of the disaster became apparent, MYTILINEOS decided immediately to help in the most appropriate way. In collaboration with the Government and the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, the Company aimed to offer firefighting helicopters, which were most needed by the Fire Department. After huge efforts, the most suitable for the occasion and of higher quality BELL 214 BI helicopters of the American company Erickson Inc were located in Australia, fully equipped with flying and supporting staff consisting of more than 20 pilots, engineers and translators. These helicopters, after being approved at operational level by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, are handed over to the State of Greece, in order to contribute to the extinguish of the active fire fronts in the country. These helicopters (4 in number) are on their way to our country and will remain for 60 days from the date of their arrival, in order to avoid the risk of resurgence or new wildfires, while the cost of the helicopters (€ 3.3 million) is fully undertaken by MYTILINEOS. Experts will adjudicate whether the wildfires that engulfed the country were the result of long-term deficiencies and state problems, or an additional proof of the catastrophic effects of climate change. MYTILINEOS is the first Greek company and one of the first industries in Europe and worldwide, that set clear targets to minimize its carbon footprint, while its entire strategy is governed by the principles of sustainable development. Our commitments are being matched by deeds and every time our homeland calls us, we try to be useful, in a crucial and effective way. We also pledge to assist in any effort of rebuilding the burned areas and of reforestation of the woods. Together we will succeed! We express our deepest respect and gratitude to the firefighters, the security forces, the volunteers and all those who exceeded themselves to reduce the great disaster in the country.

On 29 September 2021 MYTILINEOS (RIC: MYTr.AT, Bloomberg: MYTIL.GA, ADR: MYTHY US) through its Metallurgy Business Unit, participates as coordinator in the SCALE project of the European Union. As part of the sustainable development strategy, MYTILINEOS has set waste management as priority, by participating in innovative research programs with the aim of zeroing and ultimately transforming waste into a source of useful raw materials. The SCALE project of Horizon 2020 of the European Union is such a program aimed at extracting rare earth elements, and in particular compounds of scandium and aluminium - scandium alloys from European metallurgical residues, such as bauxite residues. The program involves the National Technical University and a total of 17 partners from 8 European countries (companies such as II-VI, KBM Affilips and Less Common Metals, the Universities of Aachen, Stockholm and Basel, and others). Scandium is one of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and is on the list of critical raw materials in the European Union. The Greek bauxite processed by MYTILINEOS is proportionally 'rich' in scandium, producing correspondingly bauxite residues rich in scandium. It is also noted that the supply of Rare Earth sources is the first priority of the newly established European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA), that MYTILINEOS also participates in. The pilot plant for extracting scandium under the SCALE project started its operation a year ago at the 'Aluminium of Greece' plant in the Metallurgy Business Unit. With the innovative method used, the concentration of scandium from bauxite residues is increased by 2.500 times. At the same time, MYTILINEOS, through its Metallurgy Business Unit, is also participating in the ReActiv program, co-ordinated by LafargeHolcim, specializing in building solutions, in collaboration with 20 partners in 12 European countries, including companies such as ALCOA, HYDRO, Rio Tinto and international academic institutions, for the recycling of bauxite residues. Through ReActiv, bauxite residues are treated in such a way that they can be converted into an active ingredient for cement production with low environmental footprint. MYTILINEOS' Metallurgy Business Unit is participating in 23 research programs, funded by the European Union through Horizon2020, ΕΙΤ Raw Materials, ΕRAMIN-2 and the NSRF, researching inter alia:
• the recovery of bauxite residues for the production of scandium, iron, alumina, cement additives and construction products.
• the production of alumina from alternative (secondary) sources.
The total funding for these 23 programs exceeds EUR 95 million, of which EUR 6.9 million is earmarked for MYTILINEOS' Metallurgy Business Unit financing. By participating in these initiatives, MYTILINEOS demonstrates its commitment to a sustainable and competitive industry, in line with European requirements and the European Green Agreement for zero emissions and economic growth decoupled from resources' use. The Company will continue to invest in environmentally friendly technologies and support innovation in the industrial sector.

On 18 November 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A. has reached financial close on the nonrecourse financing of the Corowa, Junee, and Wagga Solar Farms in New South Wales in Australia, with lenders ANZ, Societe Generale and Westpac. This 120 MWp portfolio (40 MWp each project) was acquired in 2019 as part of MYTILINEOS' strategic entry to the Australian market, one of the most demanding and competitive markets in the world, where access to "clean" energy is still in demand for many large companies. These solar parks will produce 220 GWh annually, to power Australia's electricity system, reducing 180,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
The majority of the power produced and of the Large-Scale Generated Certificates (LGCs) from the three projects are sold under a 10 year "Green" Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Coles, a major Australian food and grocery retailer with
more than 2,400 stores nationwide. Despite the adversities and difficulties imposed by the covid-19 pandemic, project construction was successfully executed by MYTILINEOS' Renewables & Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit and was completed in the first half of 2021, proving the company's ability to carry out demanding projects. The financing is structured in such a way that allows money to be drawn for each project at its respective Commercial Operation Date (COD) and comprises a AUD95m term loan for the project and AUD9m for ancillary facilities. This is MYTILINEOS' first project financing in Australia, and the first project financing of solar PV projects by the MYTILINEOS' RSD Business Unit.
On 22 November 2021 MYTILINEOS, as part of its strategic commitment to tackling climate change with its ambitious CO2 emissions reduction targets set at the beginning of the year, is taking on renewed action with its commitment to the global Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi mobilizes companies to set science-based targets and boost their competitive advantage in the transition to a low-carbon economy. It is a partnership between CDP, United Nations Global Compact, World resources Institute (WRI) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) and provides independent assurance and validation of corporate targets based on current and valid climate data. The objectives of the SBT initiative enable companies to understand to which extent and how quickly they need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to prevent the most adverse impacts of climate change. In this way, companies can set a clear path towards decarbonization, contributing to tackling global warming and taking advantage of the relevant opportunities. MYTILINEOS is one of the first Greek industrial companies to commit to the SBT initiative. By joining the SBTi the Company focuses on confirming that its climate mitigation targets initiatives are aligned with the latest available scientific data and forecasts on climate change as well as the relevant European and national strategy. Already, more than 2,000 companies worldwide from all business sectors are committed to the SBT initiative, such as Iberdrola SA, Enel SpA, Lightsource bp, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, S.A., ENGIE και FLUXYS, but also AstraZeneca, Shiseido and Wendy's. MYTILINEOS aspires to deliver on its CO2 reduction targets by implementing a major portfolio of Renewable Energy Sources projects in Greece and internationally, by sourcing electricity in the Metallurgy Business Unit exclusively from renewable sources, by developing low-emissions products such as recycled aluminum, by significantly increasing the use of aluminum scrap, by using RESderived electricity in aluminum production, by using battery energy storage in construction sites, by using electric vehicles and by replacing gasfired office heating installations with electric heat pumps. In addition, MYTILINEOS will continue to invest in the application of cutting-edge technologies and in the use of digital industrial processes in the production stages, to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, such as by digitizing the foundry at the 'Aluminum of Greece' plant in the Metallurgy Business Unit - in cooperation with General Electric - and by applying Metsol technology to reduce PFC emissions, actively contributing to a carbon neutral future by 2050. Previously, MYTILINEOS joined the supporters of the global "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures" (TCFD) initiative in June 2021, which aimed at adapting and addressing the impact of climate change on its activity.

the 5th phase begins in year 2025.
The award of shares to the beneficiaries will depend mainly on the achievement of corporate goals by the Company and will be implemented gradually. More specifically, the performance for each phase will be evaluated at the end of the third year
of each phase based on company performance measures: (a) TSR relative to FTSE/ATHEX Large Cap, excluding banks, and (b) absolute target for EPS, while the shares will be awarded to the beneficiaries gradually from the fourth through the sixth year of each phase.
It is not necessary that the same number of shares will be distributed in each phase. The shares that will be distributed to the relevant beneficiaries will be regular registered shares with voting rights of the Company and will incorporate all rights provided under law 4548/2018 and the Company's articles of association. The shares will be distributed without any retention obligation for a specific period of time.
The Program is considered a voluntary benefit, the Company reserving the right to revoke, modify, or abolish it at any time, without, however, any acquired rights being affected. Such revocation or modification shall not constitute in any case a unilateral detrimental change of the terms of the employment contracts and/or remuneration of the beneficiaries and the beneficiaries shall have no claim (compensation or other) against the Company for any reason related to this Program. Upon completion of the Program, the Company has no obligation to the beneficiaries to apply the same or similar disposal in the future.
Potential beneficiaries of the Program are executive members of the board of directors of the Company or/and key management personnel or/and higher officers of the Company or/and affiliated companies, no more than 100 persons in total. The beneficiaries need to occupy such positions on December 31st of the third year of each phase. In the event of change of role the right to participate in each distribution in the context of the Program shall be re-evaluated, while retirement of a beneficiary shall not affect the disposal. Final beneficiaries can also be identified as heirs of a person who, while alive, met the criteria for participation in the.
The aforementioned number of shares is the maximum that can be disposed and the Company is not committed to the disposal of all, as the exact number of shares to be disposed will be decided during the implementation of each phase of the Program. The Chairman & Chief Executive Officer is empowered to determine further relevant procedural matters (including without limitation, the number and identity of beneficiaries and shares, which will be awarded in total to each of the beneficiaries -except for himself- and in each individual phase, as well as future company and personal goals) as well as the individual terms of the Program, for its successful implementation in accordance with the above.
MYTILINEOS, operating c.1.4 GW of installed thermal (consuming self-imported natural gas) and RES capacity, is holding the first position among the independent power producers, having established its position as the largest vertically integrated electricity company and natural gas, reaching the critical size to benefit from the full liberation of the domestic electricity and natural gas market.
2022, is expected to be affected by the significantly high natural gas and CO2 prices.
Despite that, P&G BU's financial performance is expected to reach new highs due to:
Inflationary pressures continue unabated, resulting in cost pressures stemming from higher energy, raw materials and transportation costs on the one hand, and record-high all-in aluminium prices (LME + Premia), on the other. Aluminium Premia as well as natural gas and therefore electricity prices, particularly in Europe, rely on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict as well as Russian gas outflows to Europe. On the other hand, rising alumina prices, are mainly driven by China.
Strong 2022 outlook is based on post-pandemic continued economic recovery, strengthening of both the Chinese as well as the "Energy Transition" driven demand, high energy costs as well as rising inflation expectations.
The pace of production, particularly for secondary aluminum, will gradually increase resulting in a record annual production for 2022, at a time that "HEPHAESTUS" programme benefits will contribute throughout the year.
Through our Renewables and Storage Development business unit, we have developed our EPC and O&M capabilities in the utility scale Solar PV and energy storage market and further strengthened our RES portfolio of activities, as well as our position in these rapidly growing market segments.
Our Renewables and Storage Development business unit is now considered among the largest non-US, non-Chinese solar EPC contractors globally for the full range of solar and energy storage applications, with a customer portfolio including some of the leading project developers and/or investors worldwide, such as BP Lightsource, Total, Total EREN, Sonnedix, Eni and Gresham House.
Project references include more than 2.5 GW of utility scale solar power projects (including both completed and ongoing projects), including in certain cases, storage facilities, in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas (for example in Spain, the United Kingdom, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Australia, Chile and Puerto Rico). We have also completed approximately 290 MW / 330 MWh of battery storage projects primarily in the United Kingdom.
For Third party EPC activity, 2021 was a year of EPC contracts signing since its execution was on hold for a long time within 2020.
On the other hand, 2021 was affected by continuous cost increases on the main equipment (solar modules, steel mounting structure) and by record high transportation expenses.
On top of that low PPA prices and increasing deviations with the spot power prices had also affected Investor's decisions and performance. Considering those facts Investors has shifted project's commencing to a later period, hoping to have cost reduction and better PPA prices.
Third Party EPC sub-segment performance during the first half of the year is outlined as below:

2. Annual Board of Directors Management Report
-Two own projects with total installed capacity of 89 MW in Romania; total contractual value of c.68m,
2021 was a turning point, reaping the benefits of the transformation of the former Integrated Works & Infrastructure Business Unit, having a new organizational structure and focusing on projects that promote the Energy Transition and Sustainable Development.
* Includes Ready to Build & Soon Ready to Build projects
Thus, on top of the construction of thermal power plants as well as selected infrastructure projects, traditionally performed by the business unit, our activities are further enhanced via the addition of Sustainable Development projects.
Indicative Sustainable Development projects:
Realizing the international trends, MYTILINEOS adapts its unique know-how to the Sustainable Development Solutions, designing at the same time:
a) To continue utilizing its competitive advantage in the construction of thermal units and to further develop in the field of Transmission & Distribution (T&D) and b) To grow in the field of infrastructure, via PPP projects as well as projects that require significant know-how, a holistic approach as well as to focus on the final outcome, in view of those major projects that have been announced in Greece, in an effort to restart the economy in the post-pandemic era.
The Sustainable Engineering Solutions business unit, following its strategic planning and is oriented towards the development of its activities in countries with special requirements, where its prestige and know-how gives an important position in the market internationally. Where good investment opportunities are identified, MYTILINEOS intends to utilize the significant potential of project financing to create even greater added value for both its customers and its shareholders. SES BU's strategy aims to increase its backlog during 2022 by undertaking new projects and investments in targeted markets and focusing on the timely execution of existing contracts. The planning and prospects for the individual activities of the SES BU can be summarized as follows:
Athens-3 (ATH3), will be the new, state-of-the-art data center of Lamda Hellix, A Digital Realty Company, at the company's premises in Koropi. This project is to be added in the existing Athens-1 & Athens-2 (ATH1 & ATH2), becoming the largest data center in Greece, covering an area of 8,600 sq.m., while it will be built according to Tier III standards and will be certified according to LEED. At the same time, ATH-3 will be able to be supplied with 100% "green" energy, minimizing its environmental footprint. Its capacity will reach 6.8MW, while the first phase of work is expected to be completed in December 2022. The SES BU
will continue aiming at undertaking hybrid projects / offline projects, capitalizing on the relevant experience and knowledge from other relevant projects. At the same time, SES will continue to implement a strategy of expanding and developing its presence in important energy upgrade and energy saving projects both in Greece as well as other foreign markets. Finally, SES will intensify its presence in projects related to new technologies in combination with the provision of energy solutions, aiming at the development of new, diversified activities with added value.
In addition to large-scale environmental projects, MYTILINEOS' environmental solutions expand to solid waste management through the development of biogas and waste management, where selectively examines project funding on a case-by-case basis. In the field of sludge, liquid waste management and environmental remediation, it implements a plan for its systemic market penetration starting from Europe, Middle East and Africa, leveraging in the added value of subsidiary's exceptional expertise, ZEOLOGIC, which acts as a pioneering technological provider in this market. In this direction, a pilot unit for the management of liquid oil and chemical waste was concluded in 2021, on behalf of MYTILINEOS, in ZEOLOGIC's facilities.
MYTILINEOS activities are affected by multiple risks, the occurrence of which may affect its overall activities, business activity, financial performance as well as the achievement of its strategic objectives.
The Company implements a Risk Management Framework in order to limit the chances and impacts of risks and maximize the benefit of the opportunities. In this context, an Enterprise Risk Assessment methodology has been adopted, which is
based on best international practices and is tailored to the needs of MYTILINEOS. It also promoting a unified culture that integrates risk management into processes, activities and decision-making at all levels.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the effective monitoring of the exposure to business risks, with a view to maintaining the stability, continuity of operations and growth of the Company.
The Company's Management is responsible for the implementation of the Risk Management Framework in the day to day operations of the organization. Specifically, the Management is responsible for the systematic identification and evaluation of the risks that affect the business operations and in addition, supervises the development and timely implementation of the risk management plans. It regularly evaluates the effectiveness of the management plans and the need to adjust them in order to achieve optimal risk management.
The principal risks of MYTILINEOS are identified through the mapping of risks in all functions of the organization and their analysis as a whole, taking into account their probability of occurrence, the assessment of their impact on the Company's strategic objectives, as well as risk mitigation measures, such as development of procedures, controls, audits, and risk transfer mechanisms.
Due to the nature of the Company's operations, the business units are exposed to Occupational Health and Safety risks (minor accidents, accidents with work time loss, occupational diseases and fatalities) which can have significant or less significant social impacts, not only for the employees themselves and their families but also for third parties such as the employees of independent contractors, the Company's business partners, student interns and trainee employees as well as all types of visitors to their premises. In addition, these issues cause impacts involving loss of employee satisfaction and morale, increased accident/absenteeism costs and adverse effects on the image and reputation of MYTILINEOS.
51 Occupational Health and Safety line of responsibility starts from the Management and Directorates General and stretches along all stages of production of every MYTILINEOS Business Sector. To address these risks, the Company strictly implements security systems
and safety measurements to assess their impact on the human body and to identify the need for interventions in all workplaces (offices and industrial plants).
At the same time, continuous progress and improvement highly depends on both, preventive actions undertaken and broader experience that the Company gains from any incident and near accident, while educating and training personnel is crucial in order to maintain and further develop an accident prevention mentality.
MYTILINEOS in all its Business Units, implements an integrated and certified Occupational Health and Safety management system, allowing the continuous adoption of measures to prevent and minimize accidents and occupational diseases, providing for ongoing employee training and strengthening a safe work culture. The system is certified according to the international standards OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001-2018 covering, at the end of 2020, 83.3% of the Company's total production plants and RES units in operation. MYTILINEOS is already in the process of transitioning the certification of its Occupational Health and Safety management system of all production units to the new ISO 45001-2018 standard, a process which is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
MYTILINEOS owns coastal industrial facilities in Greece and operates in countries where the climate change effects are more intense. In addition, its mining activity, which is directly related to natural resources may face a range of challenges and problems caused by the changes in the climate. The main challenge of the Company is the assessment of the vulnerability of its business activities in the face of climate change, taking into account the existing and expected climate events and the effects that they are expected to have. In the context of the above challenges, the Company may be exposed to:
• natural hazards, such as extreme natural phenomena or long-term physical changes which are considered important for the operation of the Company's industrial facilities,
• transition risks, which relate to extensive policy, legal, technological changes related to climate change adaptation and mitigation measures,
risks impacting reputation, which are related to the change of perceptions of social partners, regarding the Company's contribution to an economy of lower pollutants.
Given that future investments of MYTILINEOS will be largely determined by the new strategy that will be followed for climate change (as presented in section Management of Climate Change and Energy Transition) the Company has already incorporated in its strategic priorities the execution of a study to identify the risks and opportunities from the effects of climate change on its activities. In the Metallurgy and Mining sector, risk studies performed related to floods, accidents, and disasters, and facilities have been constructed or improved to deal with the most extreme phenomena. Relevant contingency plans have also been set up to ensure operational continuity.
In the Power & Gas sector, the thermal power plants have prepared Emergency Plans, to manage extreme natural phenomena (intense heat, frost, storm, flood, etc.) and special studies performed on flooding risk wherever there are watercourses near the
plants. In the field of RES operation, the wind turbines are equipped with safety systems, where in the event of very strong winds are put out of operation and rotate in a safe position, while the solar panels selected are made of hail-resistant surfaces. Regarding the Company's activity abroad, appropriate protective measures are taken within the limits of each project facilities, to manage extreme weather phenomena and effectively protect operations from all the conditions that may affect normal execution of the construction projects.
Finally, within 2021, the Company plans to adapt to the climate-related financial risk disclosures framework, by following the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) regarding the analysis of the risks and impacts of climate change, as well as its inclusion in the CDP – Climate Change international initiative.
During 2021, MYTILINEOS continued to effectively manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritizing the safety and security of its people and ensuring the uninterrupted continuation of operations in all Business Units, but also minimizing the economic impact of the pandemic.
MYTILINEOS promptly recognized the potential risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and immediately set up a special management team, which reports directly to the top Management and has undertaken the coordination and strategic response.
Business continuity plans were formulated and implemented for all the critical operations of the Company which indicatively include:
The Company continues to successfully implement remote working, ensuring the smooth continuation of work in all sectors of its business activities, while regular disinfections are carried out at the facilities depending on their criticality and risk exposure. The special management team regularly evaluates the effectiveness of these measures, to ensure that they meet their objectives and that they comply with the relevant measures imposed by the authorities.
The strategic, political, and economic interests of countries, as well as changes in their governments and policies, lead to unrest, population movement, changes in legislation, sanctions between states, and even military action, creating an ever-changing
geopolitical environment which threatens the activities of MYTILINEOS, its supply chain, its financial performance and the safety of its employees.
The Company is exposed to geopolitical risk, mainly through its activities in Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, Latin America and Central Asia.
MYTILINEOS has formulated specific policies and procedures for the assessment of geopolitical risk exposure but also for the implementation of risk mitigation plans, so that the geopolitical risk exposure is maintained within its risk appetite. The main geopolitical risk mitigation plans implemented by MYTILINEOS are:
The International Business Division is the main source of information and assessment of existing and emerging geopolitical risks of MYTILINEOS, which with the assistance of experts and specialized subscription services, ensures the objective evaluation of risks, and raises Management awareness for the necessary risk management measures to be implemented.
Especially for the expansion of MYTILINEOS activities in new countries, multidiscipline working groups are formed, which in collaboration with specialized consultants assess the type and extent of the risks that the Company may be exposed to (political, credit, health & security, tax, supply chain, etc.) and risk management strategies are developed, which are evaluated in relation to the benefits presented by the expansion of activities.
MYTILINEOS operates in countries with a diversified legal and regulatory environment which is subject to frequent changes. Therefore, the Company is exposed to the risk of not maintaining its legal and regulatory compliance at the business, labor, social and product level, which ensures that the overall corporate activity meets high levels of responsible entrepreneurship and strengthens the climate of trust between MYTILINEOS and its Social Partners (customers, employees, suppliers, local authorities, etc.).
Also, the Company is exposed to the risk of non-compliance with its obligations under the environmental legislation and, more specifically, with the terms of the environmental permits of its industrial plants. In the event of a breach of the applicable regulations, the competent authorities may impose fines or sanctions, and may also withdraw or refuse to renew permits and approvals.
Further, the Company is exposed to financial risks, from potential adverse outcomes of litigation related to non-compliance with the law in general.
Management / Risks control practices
To prevent the aforementioned risks, MYTILINEOS has procedures for monitoring the legislative developments concerning the geographical regions in which it operates and reviews and evaluates its compliance with the applicable laws and regulations on a regular basis.
Additionally, monitoring compliance with the approved environmental licenses (Environmental Terms Approval Decisions) for the Company's operational units, is a process conducted internally, on a regular basis in each Business Unit, by qualified personnel, as well as annually, by a recognized independent organization, which undertakes to audit and certify the Company's environmental management system.
The Company, as a member of the UN Global Compact, ensures that its business practices are fully aligned with the Compact's internationally recognized Ten Principles. Furthermore, under its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, MYTILINEOS is committed to adopt a responsible, sustainable, and ethical business conduct, that is regularly evaluated based on the achieved results, while is committed to improving its performance in the areas of employment, environment, social, transparency and governance. Finally, in 2020, the Compliance Division developed two trainings for the employees, a training in personal data protection (GDPR) and a training in the Code of Ethics of MYTILINEOS, which includes theory, case studies taken from everyday work, awareness to potential risks, and incident response and escalation, when necessary.
The competition risk is related to the possibility of not achieving the Company's strategic objectives due to the actions of existing and new competitors. Globalization, free trade, and innovations in technology, manufacturing, transportation, and communications have created a highly competitive global economy that exposes MYTILINEOS to the potential risk of losing customers, reducing revenue and / or profit margins.
MYTILINEOS' business mission is to operate in demanding local and international markets, with creativity, efficiency and respect for the environment and the society. Therefore, the management of this risk is a priority of the Company's Management, which constantly examines the operating environment and adopts best practices and technologies, while investing in research and development that will give a competitive advantage, which will allow an increase to customer base, profitability, and profit margins. Through the vertically integrated production, trading and supply of power and gas, the independent natural gas import with main objective to meet Company needs, and the continuous investment in new technologies and clean energy, MYTILINEOS gains a competitive advantage and allows the Company to maintain high profit margins and profitability.
Specifically, the Power & Gas sector of MYTILINEOS is constructing a new gas-fired power plant with an efficiency of 63% which will be at the top of the global efficiency, and is expected to significantly strengthen MYTILINEOS' market position in both the production as well as the supply of electricity to businesses and households.
Further, with the agreement to acquire under development photovoltaic parks with a total capacity of 1.48GW and 15 under development electricity storage facilities, it seeks to create a wide portfolio of power generation units and become a Company with advanced capabilities and flexibility, which is a requirement for energy companies of the future.
Finally, it should be noted that the sector is active mainly in Greece, with several years of experience and deep knowledge of the energy market.
Respectively, the vertically integrated production of Alumina and Aluminum, the implementation of competitiveness and increased production programs, reduce the production costs of the Company and increase its competitiveness.
Finally, the EPC and Infrastructure sector, which has been transformed into the Sustainable Engineering Solutions sector, as well as the Renewables & Storage Development sector, focus on projects that promote the goals of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development where the Company has experience and know-how that offers a competitive advantage.
Possible breaches in the security of networks, information and operational systems, threaten the integrity of our intellectual property, other sensitive information, as well as disrupt our business operations. The occurrence of such events could negatively impact the Company's reputation and our competitive position and could result in litigation with third parties, regulatory action, loss of business, potential liability and increased remediation costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, such attacks or breaches could require significant management attention and resources.
MYTILINEOS has developed an Information Security Framework and is committed to the implementation of a holistic Information Security Management System, through which the effective and efficient protection of the Company's information systems and data is achieved
The Information Security Framework sets out a continuous cycle of improving the Information Security Management System, prescribing activities for risk assessment, developing and implementing information security policies, standards, procedures and guidelines for the mitigation of risks and monitoring their effectiveness and efficiency.
MYTILINEOS periodically works with independent agencies and consultants, who evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of the Information Security Management System and verify that an information resource, or management system, meets the necessary requirements set by the respective policies for information systems and their data.
Moreover, a regular and structured information security awareness and training program has been developed, which is executed throughout MYTILINEOS. The aim of the program is to ensure that all employees, contractors and relevant third parties with access to information and information systems, understand the need for information security, accept and perform the responsibilities assigned to them under the Information Security Framework while demonstrating a high level of professional ethics. Finally, to ensure business continuity and minimize the impact following a cyber security breach or natural disaster, a business continuity and disaster recovery plan has been designed and implemented, which is tested and updated on a regular basis. The Senior Management is responsible for taking appropriate measures that will guarantee business continuity according to the business needs.
The Company's effort to be constantly competitive is based on the know-how, skills, and dedication of its people. Therefore, the risk of MYTILINEOS failure to attract and retain a skilled, capable, and productive workforce, may threaten the timely achievement of the Company's commitments and the success of its strategic objectives.
MYTILINEOS is not complacent because of its high retention rate over time. It invests in the continuous education and training of employees, offers the tools and opportunities to develop their skills, encourages innovation, initiative, learning and diversity. The Company modernizes the performance appraisal process and shapes the talent development process, which will improve the identification and utilization of employees who have the ability, skills, and dynamic to support the organization. Through continuous improvement, training and development, employees are offered career opportunities and the feeling of satisfaction is promoted. In relation to attracting skilled and capable employees, the Company has programs and partnerships that enhance its image as employer of choice. Specifically, MYTILINEOS has a two-year program to attract new engineers (Engineers in Action) through which about 30 new engineers are selected and employed in the business units.
In addition, the Company maintains collaborations with universities and educational organizations and participates in career fairs. Both, the Metallurgy activities and the construction/infrastructure innovative projects of the Company (such as waste management, energy, etc.), as well as its ESG initiatives, renders MYTILINEOS an attractive employer that offers the opportunity to get acquainted with new technologies in a range of activities.
MYTILINEOS' culture and values promote collaboration and its achievements, enhance the sense of pride, thus creating a strong employer value proposition.
There is a risk of damage to corporate reputation, through false news, misconceptions about the Company's operations and corporate objectives, as well as possible errors in the communication of information through the Company's websites, social networks and/or in direct communication with potential or existing customers.
Also, at regular intervals the Company organizes events and participates in exhibitions to inform stakeholders about new products, the progress of its activities, strategic objectives, financial results, etc. Possible errors and omissions in the planning and execution of these activities, may damage the corporate reputation, fail to deliver the expected benefits and in some cases impose sanctions for non-regulatory compliance.
The Communication and Marketing Strategy Division has designed and implemented policies and procedures for managing corporate reputation, to align the entire organization with the approved communication strategy, ensure proper communication with stakeholders and protect corporate reputation.
Further, the Company collaborates with specialized associates, who monitor the media and social networks, record Company related publications, which are then evaluated for the possible reputation risks involved. If necessary, the Communication and Marketing Strategy Division, in collaboration with the Legal & Regulatory Affairs Division when required, intervenes in a timely manner to protect the reputation of the Company.
Finally, the process of organizing events and participating in conferences prescribes multi-level controls by working groups, in order to ensure the smooth conduct and safety of the events, necessary to deliver the expected benefits.
The risk management policy is applied by the Corporate Treasury Department. The latter acts as a service center, operating under specific Management-approved lines.
The tables below summarize the maturity profile of the Group's financial assets as at 31.12.2021 and 31.12.2020respectively:
Credit risk originates from available cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits at banks and financial institutions, as well as from exposure to client derived credit risk.
Regarding commercial and other claims, the Group is not theoretically exposed to significant credit risks; as of the multifaceted nature of the Group's activities, there is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its commercial requirements, as this is allocated over a high number of clients. However, the atypical conditions that dominate the Greek market and several other markets in Europe are forcing the Group to constantly monitor its business claims and also to adopt policies and practices to ensure that such claims are collected. By way of example, such policies and practices include insuring credits where possible; pre-collection of the value of product sold to a considerable degree; safeguarding claims by collateral loans on customer reserves; and receiving letters of guarantee.
To minimize credit risk on cash reserves and cash equivalents; in financial derivate contracts; as well as other short term financial products, the Group specifies certain limits to its exposure on each individual financial institution and only engages in transactions with creditworthy financial institutions of high credit rating.

Liquidity risk is related with the Group's need for the sufficient financing of its operations and development. The relevant liquidity requirements are the subject of management through the meticulous monitoring of debts of long term financial liabilities and also of payments made on a daily basis.
The Group ensures that there is sufficient available credit facilities to be able to cover its short-term business needs, after the calculation of cash flows arising from the operation as well as cash and cash equivalents which are held. The funds for long-term liquidity needs ensured by a sufficient amount of loanable funds and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

Goods prices that are mainly determined by international markets and global offer and demand result in the Group's exposure to the relevant prices fluctuation risk.
Goods' prices are connected both to variables that determine revenues (e.g. metal prices at LME) and to the cost (e.g. natural gas prices) of the Group's companies. Due to its activity, the Group is exposed to price fluctuation of aluminium (AL) as well as to price fluctuation of natural gas, as production cost.
As regards price fluctuation, the Group's policy is to minimize risk by using financial derivative instruments.
The Group develops activity at international level and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk that arises mainly from the US dollar. Such risk primarily stems from commercial transactions in foreign currency as well as from net investments in foreign financial entities.
For the management of such risk, the Group's Financial Management Department establishes financial derivative and non-derivative instruments with financial organizations for the account and in the name of the Group's companies.
At the Group level, such financial instruments are considered to constitute compensation means for the exchange rate risk of specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions
The Group's assets that are exposed to interest rate fluctuation primarily concern cash and cash equivalents.
The Group's policy as regards financial assets is to invest its cash in floated interest rates so as to maintain the necessary liquidity while achieving satisfactory return for its shareholders
In addition, for the totality of its bank borrowing, the Group uses floating interest rate instruments. Depending on the level of liabilities in floating interest rate, the Group proceeds to the assessment of interest rate risk and when necessary examines the necessity to use interest bearing financial derivative instruments. The Group's policy consists in minimizing its exposure to interest bearing cash flow risk as regards long term funding.

Mytilineos Group, according to article 6 of law 3557/2007, paid to the Hellenic Government, for the year ended at 31st of December 2021, an amount of 252 thousand Euros, due to the mining activity of its subsidiary company.
The above mentioned amount is related to the Mining Rights of Delphi-Distomon SA subsidiary company.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the European Non-Financial Disclosure Directive and provides balanced information on the evolution of the MYTILINEOS performance, as well as a description of the main sustainable development risks and challenges given the size of the organization and the complexity of its activities. The information presented throughout the report, focuses on the thematic aspects, as defined in the "Non-Financial Information Report" of circular 62784/2017, in accordance with the provisions of Law 4403/2016 in conjunction with the provisions of Law 4308/2014 concerning the material Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics of the Company. The report's data refer to the four Business Units1 of MYTILINEOS, its major subsidiaries within the Greek territory, its Renewable Energy Sources (RES) plants and to the work sites the Company operates in, through the Sustainable Engineering Solutions (SES) Business Unit and the Renewables & Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit, in countries abroad. In addition, in accordance with legislation requirements, the Company develops on an annual basis a Sustainable Development Report which presents more detailed information regarding the management approach of all sustainable development material topics.
From the beginning of the pandemic outbreak, MYTILINEOS managed to react quickly and effectively. The company, acting responsibly and maintaining strict vigilance, implemented a multifaceted action plan that supported its human resources by

setting their safety as a priority. MYTILINEOS kept all its production units in operation while contributing to the national effort to deal with the pandemic crisis. The primary objectives of MYTILINEOS, for which it allocated more than €4 million in 2021, were:
In conclusion, MYTILINEOS, with the holistic approach that it has applied and continues to apply for mitigating the impacts of the pandemic and ensuring its business continuity, maintains the guarantees required by its investors. At the same time, with ambitious business decisions, the Company is taking advantage of the opportunities emerging from the health crisis and accelerates its progress towards an even stronger green economy.
Sustainable Development is an integral part of the "corporate DNA" of MYTILINEOS and, therefore of its long-term business strategy. It is the driving force through which the Company aspires to remain competitive in the long term, to meet contemporary challenges and, by developing appropriate partnerships, to contribute to a new and efficient model of socially inclusive growth, as it is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Sustainable Development strategy aims at creating long-term and sustainable value for its shareholders and other Stakeholder groups, through a holistic approach that combines economic stability with social and environmental Sustainability. It is implemented on three basic levels that are inseparable from one another and is governed by specific Principles that ensure completeness (Materiality Principle), quality (Stakeholder Inclusiveness Principle) and transparency (Accountability Principle) across all its activities.
The Company's new strategy is implemented on three basic levels that are inseparable from one another and is governed by specific Principles that ensure completeness (Materiality Principle), quality (Stakeholder Inclusiveness Principle) and transparency (Accountability Principle) across all its activities.
More specifically:
The first level focuses on the Company's commitment to adapting to and tackling climate change as well as its contribution to a new low-emissions economy. MYTILINEOS was the first Greek industrial company to set specific, measurable and ambitious targets for reducing CO2 emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, thus setting carbon footprint reduction as a priority in its new Sustainable Development strategy . In addition, the creation of the new Business Units of the Company oriented towards the dynamic development of sustainable development projects internationally (Renewables
& Storage Development BU, and Sustainable Engineering Solutions BU) is predicted to play, in the coming years, a significant role in the energy transition and in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions globally, giving MYTILINEOS the opportunity to scale up its positive impact and become one of the leading companies in the global market in this area.
The second level highlights MYTILINEOS' systematic approach to the monitoring, optimal management, and disclosure of information about ESG risks and opportunities that affect its performance and its efforts to implement its strategy. Through the ESG approach, MYTILINEOS strengthens its ability to create long-term value and manage significant changes in the environment in which it operates. This way, it responds to the current sustainability requirements of investors, capital markets and financial institutions, as well as to society's expectations of commitment and transparency regarding these issues, which are becoming more intense.
The third level expresses the responsible operation of MYTILINEOS, which has been systematically cultivated over the last 13 years through the implementation of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy and the Company's commitment to the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact. For MYTILINEOS, CSR is an ongoing self-improvement and incessant learning process, while it also serves as a key mechanism for renewing its "social" license to operate and, at the same time, improves its competitiveness at national and international level.
New Sustainability operating model After the completion of the Sustainable Development strategy, MYTILINEOS undertook a special study for the configuration of its functional structure in order to further integrate sustainability in its operations and culture. In this regard, a new Board Sustainable Development Committee was established which has the overall oversight of the implementation of the Company's sustainable development strategy. In parallel, in each Business Unit, the new special roles of "Sustainability leader" and "Sustainability / ESG initiative owner" were created, for the organization, implementation and monitoring of the individual action plans of sustainability initiatives in collaboration with the General Division of Corporate Governance & Sustainable Development. In addition, in the final decision stage, ESG criteria are integrated in key management processes of MYTILINEOS, as for example: in the performance management system, in the evaluation of investment projects, in the annual budgeting process, in the evaluation of existing and future suppliers. Regarding the non-financial disclosures, their relevance with financial data is systematically promoted, by incorporating basic "best practices ESG KPIs" in all the main financial reports.
66 In August 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its Sixth Climate Change Assessment Report (AR6 WGI - The Physical Science Basis), stressed that the climate system is facing changes at an unprecedented scale. According to the Commission, climate change is already affecting many extreme weather and climate conditions around the world with the temperature rise expected to exceed 2°C unless greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced, achieving net zero in CO2 emissions and significant reductions in emissions of other greenhouse gases. At the same time, the International
Energy Agency (IEA) states in the report "World Energy Outlook 2021" that the recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic puts great pressure on the energy system, triggering sharp price increases in the gas, coal and electricity markets. It also points out that despite all the advances made by renewable energy and electricity mobility, 2021 will see a major uptake in coal and oil use, resulting in the second largest annual increase in CO2 emissions in history. It is highlighted that oil and gas price fluctuations as well as security of supply risks can be addressed, through the energy transition and the larger and faster growth of RES investment.
In this context, in 2021, MYTILINEOS developed and launched the implementation of specific action plans for each key initiative that contributes to achieving the ambitious goals of reducing its carbon footprint, set in 2020, based on scientific data on climate change. The development of action plans by the Business Units focuses on the utilization of existing technology as well as on the development of innovative solutions, taking into account the specific characteristics of each BU and the characteristics of the energy system. More specifically, the analysis of the main initiatives in specific actions include: implementation of strategic collaborations in the field of RES, best practices, pilot programs and actions, specific technical actions with application in production, optimization of existing procedures and participation in R&D programs, monitoring of new technologies for future application, etc. The action plans have been developed based on the current state and are going to be constantly renewed accordingly.

*compared to 2019 levels
The following graph shows the evolution of the total CO2 emissions reduction (Scope 1 & 2) of MYTILINEOS compared to base year 2019. The Company, due to the operation of the new CCGT, a gas-fired power electricity production plant, is expected to reach the highest levels of its CO2 emissions at the end of 2023, after 1.5 years of full operation of the new
plant. From this point onwards, a significant and gradual reduction in CO2 emissions is expected to begin as the majority of the decarbonization initiatives undertaken in all Business Units will be at an advanced stage of implementation.


Following the publication of its climate targets, MYTILINEOS became in June 2021 an official supporter of the global initiative "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures" (TCFD), in an attempt to adapt and address the impact of climate change on its activity. MYTILINEOS is the first Greek company included in the official list of supporters of this initiative. In this way the Company, with the aim to strengthen its resilience against climate change, as well as to take advantage of opportunities related to its business model and activities, started in 2021 to study the integration of the TCFD recommendations in its operation, which it aims to fully integrate by the end of 2023.
In addition, the Company committed to the global "Science Based Targets" initiative. As part of this commitment, the climate targets of the Company will be submitted within 2022 to the organization for scientific validation. MYTILINEOS is one of the first Greek industrial companies to commit to this initiative, reaffirming its commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement and helping to address and mitigate climate change impacts nationally and globally.
Developments in the regulatory framework for the disclosure of non-financial information and the integration of nonfinancial factors into traditional investment strategies and credit ratings, have significantly changed the way companies
disclose sustainability information. Disclosure of corporate non-financial information and transparency on ESG topics are constantly evolving as companies strive to meet the growing demand for relevant information.
In this context, MYTILINEOS continues to adapt and act responsibly throughout its business operations, applying a holistic ESG approach that strengthens its ability to effectively manage relevant risks, to take advantage of the opportunities arising from sustainable development, as well as to increase the transparency of the ESG data incorporated in all annual publications, in order to contribute to the creation of long-term value for the organization, its shareholders, its social partners and the wider society.
Core elements of MYTILINEOS' ESG approach:
• Materiality: Identification and management of all Material ESG topics of the Company in the context of Sustainable Development.
• Interaction: Provision of feedback on strategic options from the investor community regarding the ESG agenda and the increasing requirements of investors for transparency and accountability.
• ESG as a risk factor: Integration of the Material ESG topics into the Company's risk management system (ERM).
• Alignment with the SDGs: Linking the results of the management of Material ESG topics to specific targets and sub-targets of the SDGs.
• Regulatory reform: Continuous awareness and preparation for a smooth transition to the new European supervisory and regulatory framework.
• Transparency & Accountability: Publication of Annual Reports, with emphasis on the ESG approach and the creation of value for all social partners, based on international standards and frameworks.
• Management of ESG ratings: Publication of qualitative and quantitative data, aiming to achieve the best possible performance in ESG evaluations by specialized agencies.
To enhance the transparency of the data and effectively disclose how MYTILINEOS manages ESG topics, this report presents information about both the identification process and the management of each Material topic, emphasizing the challenges, potential risks and impacts on the Company, the management approaches, as well as the key results of the implemented policies. The Company's provision of information to its Stakeholders on Non-Financial information will be completed with the release of the 2021 Sustainable Development Report at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2022.
To better understand how MYTILINEOS manages its Material ESG topics, the above-mentioned information is supported by the principles and the guidance offered by key international non-financial reporting standards, including, among others, the GRI Standards, the ISO 26000 International Corporate Social Responsibility Standard, and the business model section of the International Council for Integrated Reporting (IIRC). They are also supported by ESG key performance indicators (KPIs) developed by the Company, which largely cover the requirements of both domestic and international investment initiatives, as well as the specific assessments carried out by analysts and independent assessment organizations.
The international ESG rating agencies systematically monitor the performance of MYTILINEOS and evaluate through their different methodologies the practices it applies for the management of ESG topics that are of interest to the investment community.
In this context, the organization's ESG performance forms an integral part, and it is placed at the core of the holistic ESG approach of the Company. MYTILINEOS participates in 11 ESG ratings assessments annually, from independent organizations (ESG Raters), achieving in considerable progress recent years. In most of the ratings, MYTILINEOS' performance can be directly compared to the performance of the leading companies in the world in terms of ESG integration.
In late 2021, Sustainalytics, one of the leading ESG rating agencies in the world, included MYTILINEOS in the list of "Industry Top Rated Companies", and this distinction is awarded to "Strong outperformers in their respective industries out of the Sustainalytics comprehensive coverage universe". This distinction comes as a result of the systematic effort made by MYTILINEOS for over 10 years in terms of responsible entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development, while MYTILINEOS has set an internal goal for further performance improvement by 2025.
In the following table, the ESG ratings in which MYTILINEOS participates and the corresponding ESG performance are presented. During 2021, the Company managed to improve or maintain its performance in almost all of the ratings.

A key criterion that MYTILINEOS uses for the disclosure of ESG information, is the determination of topics that are relevant to its capacity to create value and that are of material significance to the organization itself, to its Stakeholders and, more broadly, to Sustainable Development.
The Materiality process is a key tool for the responsible operation of MYTILINEOS and contributes to the enrichment and formulation of its Sustainable Development strategy. It is a dynamic practice that is constantly evolving. The internal evaluation and prioritization of the material ESG topics is conducted both at a central and at a Business Unit level. In parallel,
the Company, through an open dialogue with its social partners, feeds this process with new data annually. The evaluation cycle of the material topics is implemented every 2 years with a mid-term review.
As part of the Materiality process update, continuous improvement and the best possible response to the current requirements of the investment community and its social partners, MYTILINEOS is already considering the implementation of the "double materiality" approach. By applying this approach, the Company will include in the materiality analysis of the Sustainable Development topics, in addition to the criterion of their impact on sustainable development, also the criterion of their impact on the financial performance the Company.
During the 2021 materiality process, the Company proceeded with the identification of potential material Sustainability topics based on the internal and external sources, putting special emphasis on the topics proposed by the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) standard for each of the MYTILINEOS Business Units. Subsequently, the topics were prioritized by the 4 Business Units in terms of the extent to which they affect the Company's ability to meet its business objectives, as well as in terms of their impact on sustainable development. The findings of this internal exercise were combined with the corresponding findings of the relevant field survey conducted on more than 1,500 individuals, institutions and organizations from all MYTILINEOS Social Partner groups. In addition, through the alignment of the material topics with the Global Sustainable Development Goals, the Company strengthens its ability to effectively manage them in accordance with international best practices. The result of the 2021 process is presented in the table below:
| ESG Pillar2 | Material Topics 2021 | Relative SDGs3 |

In order to meet the EU's climate and energy targets by 2030 and the European Green Deal targets, it is vital to focus investment on sustainable projects and activities. The current COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the need to redirect funds to sustainable projects in order to make economies, businesses and societies - especially health systems - more resilient to climate and environmental shocks.
To achieve this requires the development of a common language and a clear definition of what is "sustainable". That is why the action plan to finance sustainable growth has created a common classification system for sustainable economic activities, the European Taxonomy.
The European taxonomy is a classification system that compiles a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities. It aims to play an important role in helping the EU increase sustainable investment under the Europe Green Deal. The EU classification will provide companies, investors and policymakers with appropriate definitions for which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable.
In this direction, in 2021, MYTILINEOS proceeded to review its financial activities in order to determine which of them fall within the framework of the European Taxonomy, as defined by Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (art. 8), and then to publish related financial KPIs such as revenue, capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX) related to these activities.
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system, of activities that can under certain conditions be considered as environmentally sustainable or as activities that enable the transition to environmental sustainability. Under the Taxonomy regulation, companies and organizations can attract funds to develop their sustainable activities as well as expand them further, provided they meet certain criteria. The compliance with said criteria is monitored continuously and reported on an annual basis, included in the non-financial
section of the respective annual report. As part of the reporting process, we disclose in the following section the key performance indicators relating to Taxonomy-eligible activities for the FY2021:

The Company's electric power generation and aluminium production activities are the primary sources of its energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which contribute to climate change, and which constitute a significant operating cost. The commitment to gradually reduce its carbon footprint is one of the Company's most important challenges under its new Sustainable Development strategy. |
|---|---|
| Commitment | Responsible use of energy and other natural resources, in accordance with the main axes of the MYTILINEOS Environmental policy. Achievement of the ambitious targets of reducing CO2 emissions by 30% and a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030 and 2050 respectively. |
| Major risks | • Any deviations from the applicable legislation on industrial emissions may cause additional atmospheric pollution and result in increased costs due to the need of purchasing additional CO2 emission allowances, affecting the Company's financial results as well as its capacity to retain its existing or attract new customers, investors or business partners. • A further increase in the price of CO2 emission allowances (€/t), as this may be shaped by the future EU policies on energy and climate, is likely to affect future compliance costs. |

• MYTILINEOS has adopted specific initiatives to tackle climate change, which are outlined in the "Tackling climate change" section of this report. The Company's CO2 emissions targets (Scope 1 and 2) are aligned with the emissions reductions required to keep global warming below 2°C by 2030, in line with the vision of the European Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 as well as with the Global Sustainable Development Goals. By 2026, MYTILINEOS aspires to complete its investment program of 1.5GW in renewable energy sources in Greece, to have made significant progress in the electrification of the Metallurgy Sector from RES, to have increased the production of secondary aluminum to 26% of total production aluminum and to have incorporated digital industrial methods in the production stages. Meanwhile, MYTILINEOS proceeds with the implementation of relevant initiatives such as the use of electric vehicles in the Sustainable Engineering Solutions BU and the Renewable Sources & Storage Development BU. • In the context of promoting the use of natural gas as a transition fuel for the "green energy" era, the construction of the new combined cycle power plant with natural gas (CCGT) was completed at the end of 2021, making the Agios Nikolaos Energy Center in Viotia a new national energy center. The new plant has a thermal efficiency of over 63%, capacity over 826MW as well as the option to utilize fuel mixtures with hydrogen or biogas instead of natural gas, thus being a powerful means of achieving the MYTILINEOS climate targets. Today, it is the most powerful power plant in the country and one of the largest power plants in Europe, enhancing and ensuring the country's electricity efficiency and the energy transition. • Within 2021, MYTILINEOS proceeded to the creation of an integrated system of recording the Scope 3 sources and measuring the relevant emissions, from all its Business Units. Through this exercise, the Company identified for the first time the material indirect Scope 3 emissions categories, which will be published in the 2021 Sustainable Development Report, while it is already looking into ways to reduce its Scope 3 emissions. • MYTILINEOS implements systematic procedures for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the legislation, obtaining the statutory greenhouse gas emission permits and submitting the relevant reports, while participating through the Metallurgy and Power & Gas Business Units in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) since 2013. At the same time, MYTILINEOS has installed all the necessary systems for the regular monitoring of CO2, Fluorine and PFCs and other gaseous pollutants (NOx, SOx and Particulate Matter) carrying out continuous measurements. MYTILINEOS systematically applies Best Available Techniques (BATs) in its production processes and ensures the proper maintenance and modernization of equipment. |

MYTILINEOS implements targeted actions for the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems in the areas where it operates or adjacent to them and wherever there are endangered or protected species of flora and fauna. • In the Metallurgy Business Unit, the Aluminium of Greece plant has established a series of prevention and control measures to prevent impacts to the natural recipients, thus safeguarding their quality and, consequently, the conditions for the growth of the local flora and fauna. In addition, the Aluminum plant carries out restorations of the inactive surfaces of the Bauxite Waste Disposal Sites and Aggregate Waste Disposal Sites, while it has assigned to a specialized external partner the maintenance of the new and old restored waste disposal sites (e.g., old restored hazardous waste disposal landfill, inert waste disposal sites and limestone quarry). The preventive measures will be presented in detail in the 2021 Sustainable Development Report. • The mining activity of DELPHI-DISTOMON, a MYTILINEOS subsidiary, involves primarily underground quarries and is carried out with respect to the biodiversity of the area. The Company has developed an environmental policy that highlights its commitment to the protection of biodiversity in the preparatory phase of each new mining activity. In addition, the policy prescribes the implementation of measures to avoid significant ecological impacts and the alteration of the natural landscape during the execution of works, as well as in the closure and rehabilitation phase of each site, helping to further contain any adverse impacts, which are already quite limited in scope and temporary in nature. DELPHI-DISTOMON has been systematically active for almost 50 years in environmental rehabilitation and all its inactive quarries have been restored. Environmental remediation is carried out with systematic tree planting. • In the Power & Gas Business Unit and with respect to the activities which concern the construction of wind farms located near or inside areas designated as Special Protection Areas4 , a key prerequisite is the development of the respective foreseen environmental impact studies (specific ecological assessment, annual monitoring of the protected area), to confirm that there are no impacts or, in cases where there are impacts, to describe the measures which may be adopted in order for these impacts to be avoided. In cases where measures cannot be taken, the project is redesigned appropriately. In line with the above, in the locations of the Company's activities the movement of animals is not obstructed as there is no fencing, and the disturbance to the local population of birds is negligible, while where this is necessary, technical systems for the protection of birds are installed. Furthermore, concerning the restoration of the environment in the context of new wind farms, the Company carries out reforestation equal to the area of intervention as required and, where possible, restores illegal or inactive quarries, in accordance with the applicable laws and the instructions of the corresponding Forest Departments. |

| Commitment | MYTILINEOS continues to take constant care to ensure the achievement of the only acceptable target of "ZERO ACCIDENTS AND ZERO OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES", which is also the major challenge for the industrial and construction sectors, according to key elements of the MYTILINEOS Occupational Health and Safety policy. |
| Major risks | • Direct or Indirect Accident Risks: Indirect Accident Risks create the conditions which lead to accidents (physical layout, functionality, access-evacuation routes, lighting and temperature of work areas). Direct Accident Risks lead to accident or occupational disease (natural, chemical and biological factors). • Non-Accidental Risks concern organizational, psychological and ergonomic factors that do not lead to accidents but affect the physical and mental health of employees in the short or the long run. |
| Management/ control practices |
Occupational Health and Safety (HS) is a line of responsibility that begins from the Management and the General Divisions and extends to all stages of production of all MYTILINEOS Business Units. To address the relevant risks: • Strict systems and measurements are implemented, assessing their impact on employees but also identifying the needs for interventions in offices and industrial units. • Preventive and structural actions are implemented, analyzing every incident and near accident. • Employee education and training is critical to maintaining and further developing the accident prevention mentality. In this way, the systematic effort continues for the promotion and development of a unified HS Corporate Culture, which encourages all employees (direct and indirect) to behave responsibly for themselves and their colleagues. • Systematic investments are made on Health & Hygiene, monitoring and evaluating all relevant factors of the working environment, aiming at the continuous improvement of the good health and the healthy living of the employees. • Health and Safety issues are integrated into the central corporate risk management system (ERM) in order to further ensure their prioritization, as well as the required allocation of relevant resources for their improvement. • In order to keep the work areas safe for the employees and contractors working for MYTILINEOS, this issue is linked to all the decisions and actions of the Company. • Almost 90% of production units, thermal power plants, and RES units have a Health and Safety Management System certified according to ISO 45001:2018. |

| Sustainable development challenges |
MYTILINEOS acknowledges that corruption, bribery, fraud, distortion of healthy competition and money laundering undermine the moral environment of businesses and have a wide range of negative impacts that include Human Rights violations, adverse impacts on the environment, and impediments to the distribution of wealth and to country economic development. These impacts represent a major obstacle to Sustainable Development, have a disproportionate impact on poor communities, and corrode the societal structure. |
|---|---|
| Commitment | Zero tolerance of corruption and bribery, according to the main axes of the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, the Code of Business Conduct and theSuppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct. |
| Major risks | By operating in developing countries with high energy needs, which according to the annual Transparency International Corruption Perception Index are countries with a high risk of corruption, MYTILINEOS may be exposed to risks involving facilitation payments or the extension of other benefits to the local partners in order to ensure the continuation of the projects' smooth operation. |
| Management / Control practices |
Addressing corruption and bribery is a key element of the MYTILINEOS Code of Business Conduct and its Suppliers and Business Partners Code of Conduct. For MYTILINEOS, the reference point when it comes to addressing corruption and bribery, is the principle of integrity, which relates to its long-standing commitment of zero tolerance of such issues. |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MYTILINEOS undertakes a number of measures to implement this commitment: • MYTILINEOS has officially declared its commitment to the 10th Principle of the UN Global Compact, according to which "Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion, bribery and facilitation payments". This principle acts as a catalyst in establishing a culture of ethics across the Company. • In order to tackle corruption and bribery, MYTILINEOS implements rigorous screening and due diligence practices of |
||||
| third parties before proceeding to an agreement or payment. • MYTILINEOS avoids any transaction and contact with third parties that have participated in the creation of conditions for the development of incidents of corruption, blackmail or bribery. |
||||
| • The Company conducts on an annual basis a risk study on potential corruption and bribery in its business activities and prescribes risk minimization measures, within the framework of Enterprise Risk Management. |
||||
| • Both prevention and detection systems and controls have been established to ensure that suppliers are properly selected, disputed payments are avoided and the payments due are made correctly and are entered in the Company's accounting books in an accurate and transparent manner. |
||||
| • In countries with a high risk of corruption, the Company establishes a Grievance Mechanism, protecting complainants from eventual retaliation, while at central level, the grievance mechanism functions through the submission of reports of violations to the Director of Regulatory Compliance. |
||||
| • The Company carries out unannounced audits on suppliers with the aim to ensure the implementation of Suppliers & Business Partners Code of Conduct. |
||||
| • The Company ensures systematic training of personnel on the Code of Business Conduct by category of exposure to regulatory risk. |
||||
| International reference standards |
• GRI Standards • SASB Standards • UN Global Compact |
|||
| Results & targets | • In 2021, MYTILINEOS applied all necessary internal procedures to safeguard its policy. Through the screening mechanisms applied in the Purchases-Procurement Departments of the Company's Business Units, which have investigated both the process for the selection of business partners and all types of transactions, no confirmed incidents of corruption were identified that could possibly lead to dismissal or disciplinary action against employees on the grounds of corruption, nor any corruption-related resulting in the termination or non-renewal of cooperation with business partners or public judicial cases against the Company or its employees for corruption. In this way, MYTILINEOS achieved the annual target it has set for zero incidents of corruption and bribery. • In addition, the Regulatory Compliance Division issued in 2021 the MYTILINEOS employee and associate conflict of |
|||
| interest policy and collected the relevant statements of executives and employees in key Management positions. | ||||

COUNTRY OF INCORPORATION CONSOLIDATION METHOD
PERCENTAGE 31.12.2021
The commercial transactions of the Group and the Company with related parties during 2020, were realized under the common commercial terms. The Group or any of its related parties has not entered in any transactions that were not in an arm's length basis, and do not intent to participate in such transactions in the future. No transaction was under any special terms and conditions.
The tables bellow present the intercompany sales and transactions, among the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, associates and the key management personnel as at 31st December 2021 and 31st December 2020:
The Company has implemented share-based payments for its employees and executives. In particular, under the effective agreements, the Company's employees and executives are granted the option to receive equity securities (shares) of the parent company, given that certain conditions of vesting have been met. None of the existing equity-based payment agreement plans are settled in cash.
Services received in return for equity-based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of executives and employees, at the date when the stock option is granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 as an expense in the income statement, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services, for which the options are granted, are received.
Total expenses of the options during the vesting period are calculated based on the fair value of the options provided at the granting date. The expenses are allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to be vested. The fair value of the options is measured by adopting an appropriate valuation model to reflect the number of options for which the performance conditions of the plan are expected to be met.
Estimates of the number of option's expected to be exercised are revised if there is an indication that the number of stock options, expected to be vested, differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to the cumulative share-based compensation arising from the revision is recognized within the current period.
The number of vested options, finally exercised by the company's employees and executives does not affect the expenses recorded within the period.

The election decision is submitted to the publication formalities pursuant to Law 4548/2018 and is announced by the Board of Directors to the immediately following General Meeting session; the General Meeting may replace the elected members, even if no such item is included in the General Meeting agenda.
In case of resignation, death or forfeiture, in any other manner, of director status, the remaining directors (BoD members) may continue to run and represent the company even without substituting the members in question as per the preceding paragraph, provided their number exceeds one half of the number of members as it stood prior to the occurrence of the said events. In all cases, such members may not be less than three (3).
In all cases, the remaining BoD members, irrespective of the number thereof, may call the General Meeting for the sole purpose of electing a new Board of Directors.
The substitution of BoD members pursuant to the preceding paragraphs is in conformance with and subject to the provisions of the law concerning the participation of independent non executive members in the Board of Directors.

In this case, the Company's share capital may be increased by an amount not exceeding three times the share capital the capital existing on the date on which the Board has the power to raise the capital.

In implementation of the above provisions the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders dated 27.03.2020 approved an own share buyback program in order to reduce the share capital and cancel own shares that will be acquired by the Company, or/and distribute shares to employees or/and members of the management of the Company or/and of associate company, in accordance with the applicable remuneration policy, with maximum number of Company shares to be bought 14,289,116 (up to 10% of the share capital), minimum price €0.97 per share and maximum price €20 per share, program duration between 27.03.2020 and 26.03.2022 (the "Own Share Buyback Program") and authorized the Board of Directors to implement the Own Share Buyback Program. The Board of Directors decided on 01.06.2020 to start implementation of the Own Share Buyback Program by the Company.
During the year 2021:
(a) 1,772,802 own shares were acquired under the Own Share Buyback Program at a nominal value of €0.97 per share, representing 1.2407% of the Company's share capital; and

There are no significant agreements of the Company that become effective, are amended or terminated in the event of change in the control of the Company following a public offer.
There are however loan and other agreements, which provide, as it is common in such agreements, the right of the lending banks or bondholders or the Company's counterparty, to request under certain conditions the early repayment of the loans/bonds or the termination of the respective agreements in the event of change in the control of the Company, though such right is not granted specifically in case the change of control in the Company results from a public offer.
There is no agreement between the Company and the BoD members or staff providing for the payment of any compensation specifically in the event of resignation or dismissal without cause, or termination of their mandate or employment as a result of a Public Acquisition Offer. There is however a contract for provision of services between the Company and the current chairman and CEO, the terms of which, as approved by the ordinary general meeting of shareholders on 7th June 2018, provide, among others, for right to termination of the contract and compensation in case of change of control of the Company (including as a result of a Public Acquisition Offer).
Chairman & Managing Director MYTILINEOS S.A.
This Statement constitutes a special part of the Management Report, in accordance with articles 152 and 153 of Law 4548/2018 and relates to the following sections.
MYTILINEOS S.A. (the "Company") as of 01.01.2019, following a relevant resolution of the Company's Board of Directors on 15.11.2018, aiming at ensuring transparency and responsible operation in all areas of its activity, voluntarily adopted the UK Corporate Governance Code -2018 (the "Code"), https://www.mytilineos.gr/enus/corporate-governance-code/presentation. The Code is posted on the Company's website and on the website of the Financial Reporting Council, UK https://www.frc.org.uk/getattachment/88bd8c45-50ea-4841-95b0 d2f4f48069a2/2018-UK-Corporate-Governance-Code-FINAL.pdf. According to the Decision No 2/925/28.07.2021 of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, the Financial Reporting Council is an acknowledged body for the adoption of a corporate governance code pursuant to Article 17 of the Law 4706/2020 on corporate governance.
Based on the highest international standards of entrepreneurship, the Company strives for closer engagement with its investors, with the ultimate aim of unlocking further value for its shareholders. Drawing on the best corporate governance practices, the Company formulates its strategy and develops the general directions, policies, values and principles that govern its operation, while ensuring transparency and safeguarding the interests of its shareholders.
The Board of Directors (the Board) sets the tone with regards to the standards of corporate governance. To this end the Board decided to adopt voluntarily the UK Corporate Governance Code as from 01.01.2019, recognizing that the Code is widely recognized as best standard of corporate governance.
The Board operates effectively for the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company. The Board is diverse, and its members possess the appropriate level of knowledge, skills and expertise required to deliver upon expectations. The Company demonstrates a clear division of responsibilities between Management and the Board: The Executive Committee is supported by a) the Financial, the Capital Allocation and the Energy & Regulatory Matters Committees and b) the respective Committees of the Metallurgy, Power & Gas, Renewables Storage Development and Sustainable Engineering Solutions Business Units.
As a responsible industrial company, MYTILINEOS integrates sustainability considerations as part of its main purpose. The Company's business model is at the centre of its operations: It supports its growth, describes the categories of resources it utilises, presents the picture of its activities, its production performance, the value it creates for its Stakeholders and wider society, in general, its overall contribution to Sustainable Development. Detailed analysis is provided in the Management Report section of the 2021 Annual Report.
To offer a better understanding of the Company's business model, use is made of key performance indicators together with descriptions of the interrelationships between the resources utilised. This information is available at Mytilineos - Integrated Value Creation 2020 - Scorecard.
The Board of Directors established within 2021 the Sustainability Committee, with the purpose to assist the Board in strengthening the Company's long-term commitment to creating value in all three pillars of Sustainable Development (economy, environment and society) and in overseeing the implementation of responsible and ethical business conduct, evaluated regularly on the basis of its results and its performance in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters. More information on the Sustainability Committee is available in Section 3.
In addition, MYTILINEOS assigns, on a biannual basis, the study of the socio-economic impact of its activities, to an independent consultancy which is selected through a tender procedure. The results of the study, which are outlined in a relevant report, are presented to the Sustainability Committee, and are published on the Company's website. More information on the latest report of the socio-economic impact of MYTILINEOS (2019) is available at the following link: https://www.mytilineos.gr/sustainability/how-we-create-value/mytilineos-socio-economicimpact-in-greece/.
The Board of Directors approved the company's vision, mission and values as part of its strategy. The Company's strategy is reviewed annually at a Board meeting, as well as at an executive session of the Non-Executive Directors.
Within its remit to oversee the company's internal controls and risk management systems, the Audit Committee proposed to the Management to undertake an assessment of the system of internal controls using the (Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission - COSO) 2013 Framework. Following a standard tender process, the Management assigned the assessment of the Internal Control System of the Company's central and central support functions to EY Business Advisory Services.
The Company interacts with a broad range of social groups. These different groups are recorded, ranked and characterized as Company's "key Stakeholder groups", based on specific criteria according to the international AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (SES) and in correlation with:
• the position they hold within the Company's sphere of influence,
The Company's synergies with its Stakeholders are shaped in the context of the Company's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goal 17 that seeks to strengthen partnerships to support and achieve the ambitious targets of the 2030 Agenda without exclusions, built on a common vision, principles and values. The Company promotes regular communication with its Stakeholder groups; the frequency of such communication stems from the type of relationship built with each group, aiming to understand their expectations and respond promptly to matters concerning them, preserving and strengthening at the same time its "social license to operate".
Additionally, MYTILINEOS has developed a specific Stakeholders Engagement process. This practice expresses the Company's long-standing principle of engaging with its Stakeholders through a systematic and sincere dialogue. As a corporate institution, the Stakeholders Consultation process, has been carried out consistently annually since 2011 and is subject to self-assessment and self-improvement procedures.
• A detailed analysis of the results of the Stakeholder Engagement Process 2021 is provided in the Annual Report 2021, in the Non-financial disclosure report section, and in the Sustainable Development Report 2021 published in June and posted on the Company's website.
The Code of Business Conduct of the Company serves as a record of the general principles which define the responsible business conduct and the ethical rules that all the employees and business partners of MYTILINEOS are expected to follow, as well as a record of the commitments of the Company's Management towards its people. The Code ensures that all Company activities adhere to the principle of integrity, thus safeguarding its reputation, which is its most valuable intangible asset and, as any other asset, should not only be protected but should also be further developed, by ensuring that the conditions that will allow this are in place. The Board has last approved the Code of Conduct in November 2019 and since then there has not been the need for any update. In 2021 the Board has approved and endorsed the Conflicts of Interest policy and guideline for MYTILINEOS that is applicable to the Board itself and all MYTILINEOS employees.
MYTILINEOS has established a whistleblowing process (https://www.mytilineos.gr/who-weare/governance/compliance/#section10Policy) for all employees to report any violation of the MYTILINEOS Code of Business Conduct (https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/doil4yvc/mytilineos\_kodikas\_deontologias\_2019\_web\_en\_23\_01.pdf) even on an anonymous basis. All incoming reports are being investigated by the appropriate personnel in confidentiality. MYTILINEOS has a non-retaliation policy for the reporters that submit their reports in good faith.
Additionally, the Remuneration Policy for the Directors contributes to the Company's business strategy and longterm interests and sustainability by encouraging the Executive Directors to focus on sustained long-term value creation by providing a fair and appropriate level of fixed remuneration and a balance of short and long-term incentives to ensure there is focus on short term objectives that will over time build to create long-term value creation, as well as long-term goals. The remuneration policy for the Executive Directors, as for all employees, is based on the principle of paying fair and reasonable remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role while ensuring that the Company pays fairly and competitively and in the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors receive periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices within the Company, which are considered when establishing and revisiting the Policy. This is to ensure that remuneration practices and structure are as consistent as possible across the Company.
Last but not least the Company aims to apply the principle of Diversity (based, among other basic parameters, on gender, age, experience, skills and knowledge) to the composition of its Board of Directors, of its executive management team and of all direct employees in all its activities, where this is feasible. To this end, the Company in its diversity policy sets as its objective the achievement of targets concerning the representation of women on the board, senior executives and direct employees. The diversity policy is disclosed in Section 6 together with related targets. Since February 2021, the Company achieved a percentage of 27% concerning gender representation to its Board of Directors in line with its own target, while according to Greek law 4706/2020 the relevant percentage is 25%.
The Board of Directors discusses the Company's strategy and monitors its implementation in each of its meetings, which are held either in person or by video conference. In-depth analysis and discussion also is conducted at the executive sessions of the Non-Executive Directors.
The Code of Business Conduct applies to the Board, the management and the workforce. The Board overviews its implementation and monitoring by acquiring reports and through in person meetings of its Audit Committee with the Head of Internal Audit, the Compliance Director and the Non-Financial Enterprise Risk Manager. The reports are related to the controls on the main parts of the Code that are built to ensure proper implementation. In addition, the Board receives periodical information on the whistleblowing allegations that are made by employees through the Company's established reporting channels.
Non-Financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs – ESG Scorecard) are disclosed in the 2021 annual report in the Non-financial disclosure report section. Their selection is based on the ESG Approach and is linked to the Company's ability to generate value and are thus material to sustainable development and its stakeholders. Also, they form an understanding of how those ESG issues impact its corporate performance and the Company's ability to implement its strategy. The KPIs have been defined in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI STANDARDS) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
The remuneration policy supports its short and long-term business plan, so as to continue creating value for customers, shareholders, employees and the Greek economy. The level of fixed pay for Directors is established on the basis of paying no more than is necessary, always supporting the Company's longer-term interests and sustainability.
The Policy provides for variable compensation arrangements for Executive Directors to further align the Executive Directors' interests with those of the Company as the performance conditions used will be based on indicators of the long-term success and sustainability of the Company. The remuneration policy is disclosed on the Company's website https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/vowkemcd/mytilineos-rem-policy-2021eng.pdf .
The Remuneration Policy is disclosed in Section 1.5.
The (executive) Chairman engages with the Company's major institutional shareholders throughout the year in various ways: during the Annual General Meeting (AGM), through teleconference calls held on the occasion of half year and annual results, in the annual gathering of domestic institutional investors held at the company's headquarters, as well as during one-to-one meetings with key institutional investors, both upon request but also before significant corporate events initiated by the company. The Chair also holds an extensive Q&A session with minority shareholders during the AGM. Shareholders' concerns, if any, are discussed with the Board and the Lead Independent Director is available to investors should the need arise.
The Company engages with shareholders and proxy advisors and since 2020 this effort has been strengthened through the organization, on an annual basis, of a targeted corporate governance roadshow, organized with the help of an external consultant, Velos Advisory, to maintain an active dialogue with the stewardship teams of its key investors, both before the AGM and throughout the year, with the participation of the Lead Independent Director, members of the Board of Directors and of the Company Secretary.
The recommendations of the Management for the resolutions regarding the Annual Shareholders' General Meeting dated 15 June 2021 were passed by the majority of shareholders, with percentages ranging from 100% to 98.38%, more than 80% of the represented paid up share capital. In case 20% or more of votes are cast against a recommendation of the Management for a shareholder resolution in the future, the Company, when announcing voting results, also shall explain what actions it intends to take to consult shareholders who voted against in order to understand the reasons behind the result. The Company shall also announce no later than six months after said shareholder meeting the results of such consultation and the actions taken and, in any case, provide a summary thereof in the annual report.
Full account of how the Board takes into account the interests of various stakeholders' groups is provided in the Sustainable Development Report 2021 which becomes available by the time of the AGM in June 2022 on the website https://www.mytilineos.gr/sustainability/reports/. As part of its engagement process MYTILINEOS has developed a specific Stakeholders Consultation process (https://www.mytilineos.gr/sustainability/ourapproach/our-relationship-with-stakeholders/). This practice expresses the Company's long-standing principle to engage with its Stakeholders through a systematic and sincere dialogue. As a corporate institution, the Stakeholders Consultation process, has been carried out consistently on annual basis since 2011 and is subject to self-assessment and self-improvement procedures.
The Materiality process, i.e. the process of identifying, understanding and prioritizing the sustainability issues, is one of the key elements in the Company's responsible operation. Τhe Company's open dialogue with its Stakeholders, in addition to enhancing its ability to understand the impact of its activities, enriches this process with new inputs. The workforce participates in the process of determining the material Sustainable Development topics through a relevant Social Partner survey that was carried out in 2021 and takes place every two years based on the official MYTILINEOS process. The results of this process will be published in the 2021 Sustainable Development Report.
For the purpose of setting remuneration, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors receive periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices within the Company, which are considered when establishing and revisiting the Remuneration Policy. In addition, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Board of Directors are provided with information on remuneration trends across the Company including average pay increases along with any relevant economic data, such as the rate of inflation to take into account when operating the Policy.
The Company expects its employees to report serious violations of the Code of Business Conduct, when they become aware of them or when these are brought to their attention. This will allow the Company to address and rectify the matter, before it becomes a violation of the law or a health and safety risk or jeopardizes the Company's reputation. In cases involving violations of the Code, the competent bodies of the Company shall investigate thoroughly the reports made, while at the same time observing the confidentiality of the relevant information, unless otherwise provided for by the law. MYTILINEOS has established a whistleblowing process [https://www.mytilineos.gr/who-we-are/governance/compliance/#section10Policy] for all employees to report any violation of the MYTILINEOS Code of Business Conduct (https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/doil4yvc/mytilineos\_kodikas\_deontologias\_2019\_web\_en\_23\_01.pdf) All reports shall be investigated by the appropriate personnel in confidentiality.
The Company has also recently upgraded its whistleblowing system, with the use of a third party platform by an EU based company that specializes in Whistleblowing applications, to maximize anonymous reporting capabilities and Compliance with the EU Directive 1937/2019. This platform shall be released as long as the national law on whistleblowing channels will be published.
Additionally, the Company may set up a grievance mechanism or whistleblowing channel or reporting line if required by the contractor, when doing business in countries with an increased corruption risk (as in reference to the Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International) that pose a bribery and corruption risk for the Company.
Each member of the Board has a duty of loyalty to the Company. Board members act with integrity and in the Company's interests and safeguard the confidentiality of information that is not publicly available. They must not have a relationship of competition with the Company and should avoid any position or activity that creates or appears to create a conflict between their personal interests and those of the Company. During 2021, the Company adopted a separate Conflict of Interest policy and procedure, elaborating further the relevant section of the Code of Business Conduct of the Company. More information on the Policy and Procedures on Conflicts of Interest, which has been approved by the Board of Directors by its resolution dated 15/06/2021 is available in Section 2.3.
Finally, the Internal Audit Division reports to the Audit Committee any cases of conflict of the private interests of Board members with the interests of the Company, which (cases) it ascertains in the performance of their duties.
Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Association (available on the website) and Greek Company Law 4548/2018 on the request of a member of the Board of Directors, the Chairman is required to record in the minutes a summary of such member's opinion. The BoD will consider including in the Board's Terms of Reference a provision according to which, on resignation, a non-executive member of the Board of Directors has the right to provide a written statement to the Chair for circulation to the Board.
The Chairman coordinates and directs the Board's meetings and overall functioning. He heads the Board of Directors and is responsible for convening meetings, determining the agenda and ensuring the proper organisation of the Board's activities and the efficient conduct of its meetings. The Chairman is also responsible for ensuring the provision of timely and accurate information to the Board members, as well as for effective communications with all shareholders, seeking to guarantee the fair and equitable treatment of the interests of all shareholders.
The Chairman sets the board agenda assisted by the Company Secretary.
More information on the role of the Chair is available in Section 2.1.2.
The Board has 11 members. Of these: a) three members, namely the Chair & CEO, the Vice Chair B and one other member are Company executives, b) Vice Chair A' is non-executive and c) seven members are independent nonexecutive. Both Board committees, the Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, are completely independent. The separation of responsibilities between the executive management and the Board of Directors is clear, as described in the Company's Internal Regulation. Prevention of excessive burden arising from the professional commitments of the members, outside the Company, is regulated in the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Board of Directors of the Company which falls within the competence of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
Non-executive Board members' other assignments are considered at the nomination process as to avoid overboarding and reviewed every year by the Remuneration and Nomination committee. Other appointments and commitments are reported in Section 2.1.7.
The Non-Executive Members of the Board do not have executive responsibilities regarding the management of the Company within their remit, beyond the general duties stemming from their capacity as Board members and have been entrusted with the role of systematic supervision and monitoring of Management's decision-making.
According to the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which was approved by resolution of the AGM of MYTILINEOS, dated 15 June 2021, non-executive Directors are advised not to hold more than six non-executive directorships. In any case, they should not sit in the boards of more than five (5) companies whose shares are traded in regulated markets.
The Board Profile matrix is reported in Section 2.2 the biographies of each individual Board member are available on the company's website https://www.mytilineos.gr/who-we-are/leadership/.
More information on the role of non-executive directors is available under Provision 13.
The Board of Directors has appointed the Corporate Governance Director of the Company as Company Secretary so to have the necessary guidance and advice on corporate governance issues. The Board committees worked together with Company Secretary to draft their terms of references which subsequently were approved by the Board of Directors.
The Board Chair is also the CEO of the company. The Board continues to evaluate the topic of split vs dual role for the Chair/CEO position.
Following the consolidation of the Group in 2018, the dual role under our founder Mr. Mytilineos has helped the Company streamline its operating model and leverage synergies between its different BUs as well as delivering outstanding results. Furthermore, significant strategy and organisational work lies ahead and we feel that any change today in our organisational model would not be beneficial to the Group. Given his unique experience and leadership capacity, our Founder Mr. Mytilineos will continue to play a critical role going forward. Given the dual role, the Company has introduced a number of initiatives to ensure an elevated level of independence which include:
Independent non-executive Board members are approved as such by the shareholders at the time they stand for election.
Independent non-executive members at the time of their appointment and during their term of office, do not hold, directly or indirectly, a percentage of voting rights greater than zero-point five percent (0.5%) of the Company's share capital and do not maintain any economic, business, family or other kind of dependency relationship, which may influence their decisions and affect their independent and objective judgment.
In that sense, a dependency relationship, shall exist, indicatively, in the following cases:
a) Where the Board member receives any remuneration or allowance by the Company, or by a related company, or participates in a share option scheme or any other remuneration or allowance scheme related to the performance, except for fees received for the member's participation in the Board or its committees, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy of the Company;
b) Where the Board member or any person closely associated with it, has or has had (directly or indirectly through participation in another entity), within the last three (3) financial years from the Board member's appointment, a business relationship with the Company, or a person related to the Company, or a shareholder who holds, directly or indirectly, at least ten percent (10%) of the share capital of the Company or of a related company during the last three (3) financial years prior to the Board member's appointment, provided that such relationship affects or is likely to affect the business activity of either the Company, the Board member concerned, or the person closely associated with it. Such a relationship shall exist in particular when the person concerned is a significant supplier or customer of the Company.
c) Where the Board member or any person closely associated with it:
The criteria by which Board members' independence is assessed are determined in detail in the Company's Policy on Board Members' Independence, which also establishes the procedure and rules to be followed, on the one hand, for notifying any dependency relationship of the independent Board members and of the persons closely associated with them; and, on the other hand, for assessing the fulfilment of independence criteria.
The Independent Non-Executive members of the Board may submit, jointly or separately, reports to the General Meeting (ordinary or extraordinary) of the Company, independently of the reports submitted by the Board of Directors. Such reports shall include, as a minimum, the following:
(a) monitoring and reviewing the Company's strategy and its implementation and the achievement of its objectives,
(b) ensuring effective supervision of the executive members of the Board, including monitoring and reviewing their performance,
(c) considering and expressing views on proposals made by executive members of the Board on the basis of existing information.
It is in the Remuneration and Nomination Committee's remit to review the independence of the non- executive directors before nomination. Specifically, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews:
the balance of the number of independent non-executive directors;
the length of service of independent non-executive directors;
any situational conflict which a director may have with the interests of the Group and
any other relevant matter.
As of 2019 the Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews the independence of Board members annually.
On 31.12.2021 the Board of Directors consisted of 11 members, seven (64%) of whom were independent. At the AGM of 15 June 2021, the shareholders approved the appointment as independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors of: a) Mrs Natalia Nikolaidi in replacement and for the rest of the term of office of the resigned independent non-executive member, Mr. Georgios Chrysikos, i.e. until 07.06.2022; and b) Mr. Anthony Bartzokas in replacement of the resigned non-executive member Mr. Christos Zerefos with a term until 07.06.2022. Mr. Zerefos resigned as of 14.06.2021 due to the fact that according to the Policy on Board Members' Independence the Company shall assiduously ensure that an appropriate number of independent members participate in the Board (at least 60%).
The Lead Independent Director is charged with coordinating the Board's Executive and Non-Executive Members. He also chairs the procedure concerning the evaluation of the Chairman by the Board Members, as well as the meetings of the Board's Non-Executive members. He proposes to the Chairman of the Board issues for discussion. Finally, he is available and attends the General Meetings of the Company's shareholders, in order to discuss matters pertaining to corporate governance, as and when the need arises. The Lead Independent Director leads the shareholder engagement with the stewardship teams of the investors in the Company's Corporate Governance roadshows. In addition, during 2021, the executive sessions of the Non-Executive Directors were chaired by the Lead Independent Director and assisted by the Company Secretary. Such sessions will continue. Moreover, the Lead Independent Director informs the Chairman of the Board of Directors in relation to the important issues raised by the Non-Executive members in their meetings and discusses them with him.
The Non-Executive Members of the Board do not have executive responsibilities regarding the management of the Company within their remit, beyond the general duties stemming from their capacity as Board members, and have been entrusted with the role of systematic supervision and monitoring of Management's decision-making. In particular, they are entrusted with the following duties:
a) Monitoring and reviewing the Company's strategy and its implementation, as well as the achievement of its objectives.
b) Ensuring effective supervision of the executive members of the Board, including monitoring and reviewing their performance at individual and collective level.
c) Considering and expressing views on proposals submitted by executive members of the Board on the basis of existing information and participating constructively and critically in the Board's decision-making.
d) Ensuring and periodically evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's internal governance framework and taking appropriate action to address any weaknesses identified.
e) Participating, depending on their area of responsibility, in the Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, as well as in any other committee in which their participation is prescribed by law or deemed necessary.
The non-executive members of the Board meet, under the chairmanship of the Lead Independent Director, without the presence of the executive members of the Board at least annually and whenever they deem it necessary, in order to assess the Chairman of the Board, and the performance of the executive Board members and the management against the performance targets set for them. At their separate meetings, they also discuss other matters relevant to the Board, including, but not limited to, how the Board operates, significant
developments in the regulatory framework affecting the Company, developments regarding corporate governance, and the Company's strategy.
The activity of the Non-Executive Directors in 2021 is described more specifically in Section 2.5.
The roles and responsibilities of the Chair, CEO, Lead Independent Director and Board committees are included in the Company's Articles of Association which have been approved by the shareholders at the 2019 AGM. Furthermore the aforementioned roles and responsibilities are part of the company's Internal Regulation which also include internal policies and processes. The terms of reference of the Board committees which portray the remit, the functioning, and the reporting responsibilities of the committees in detail, are approved by the Board and can be seen on Company's website. Also details of meetings, agendas and individual attendance of directors during the year are reported under the relevant provisions in this document.
Prior to appointment, the Board considers external demands on the time of nominee directors who are proposed by the Board to the shareholders for appointment. According to the Articles of Association of the Company, notwithstanding any authorization by the General Meeting, the members of the Board of Directors should not take part in the boards of directors of more than five companies, the shares of which are traded in regulated markets. By resolution of the General Meeting of MYTILINEOS, which took place on 15 June 2021, the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors was approved according to which every member of the Board of Directors must commit sufficient time to performing their duties. Furthermore, the Company shall make every proposed member aware of the time they shall be expected to devote to performing their duties, participating in Board meetings or sitting in any committees in which they shall sit either as a member or Chair. Before acquiring any additional position in boards of other entities, every member must consider the necessary time they should devote for discharging their duties as a member properly, which (time) should in no case be impaired.
The Board considers all external commitments of executive and non-executive directors including the not-forprofit ones. No director holds more than five external appointments. Two executive directors hold positions in non-listed companies none of whom is the CEO.
Full list of other appointments is available in Section 2.1.7.
The Βoard has appointed the Company's Corporate Governance Director as Company Secretary. The Company Secretary is charged with minuting the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees. The responsibilities of the Company Secretary include ensuring the efficient flow of information between the Board of Directors and the Board Committees, as well as between the Executive Management Team and the Board of Directors. The Company Secretary formulates the induction programme intended for Board members immediately after their election, and ensures that they are provided with ongoing information and training on Company-related matters. Finally, the Company Secretary ensures good communication on governance issues among the shareholder and the Board of Directors, with a view to ensuring the Board's compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
More information on the Company Secretary is available in Section 2.1.6.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on appointments against objective criteria and with due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board, including gender, breadth of experience, amongst other criteria, in accordance with the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors of MYTILINEOS, which was approved by the AGM on 15 June 2021. It is in the Committee's remit to prepare a description of the role, capabilities and personal attributes required for a particular appointment; to develop criteria for identifying and evaluating director candidates. Also it is part of the Committee's remit to care for the orderly succession and make recommendations for appointment and reappointment by the Board of both executive directors and independent non-executive directors.
The first ever formal succession planning exercise was completed in late 2021 with facilitation provided by Egon Zehnder. The selection process was reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and elevated to the Board with the selection based on the local relevance of Egon Zehnder as well as their deep knowledge of the Group.
The Company applies a Diversity Policy in which it acknowledges that diversity at the workplace in the broader sense may increase the potential for accessing a greater range of solutions to issues of business strategy, thus increasing its competitive advantage. The Company had set measurable targets concerning the representation of women by 2020. In 2021 the Company exceeded the set goal, as the new members elected on 15.06.2021 raised the number of women on the Board of Directors to three, that is to 27%.
In addition to the above, it is up to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to make recommendations for approval by the Board of the membership of Board committees. The current Board of Directors was elected by the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 07.06.2018 for a term of four (4) years, due to expire on 07.06.2022. The Board skill matrix is available in Section 2.2 and their CVs are available on the Company's website [https://www.mytilineos.gr/who-we-are/leadership/ ].
It is in the Remuneration and Nomination Committee's remit to establish and oversee an objective and rigorous evaluation process of the Board and committees of the Board. The Chair of the Committee has overall responsibility for the process and should involve the Board Vice Chair A' and the Lead Independent Director as appropriate; the Board Vice Chair A' leads the process that evaluates the Βoard and the Lead Independent Director leads the process that evaluates the Chair of the Board. Board, committee and individual Βoard and committee members evaluations shall take place every year and externally facilitated every three or sooner and the outcomes of Board evaluation shall be shared and discussed with the Board and inform and influence the succession process.
Board effectiveness was addressed via 2 initiatives – first, an external assessment of the Board's collective capabilities that was discussed by the Board in 2020 and secondly, a follow up review was completed in 2022 that focusses on individual capabilities and Board impact. Following a review of available providers, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee proposed Egon Zehnder to facilitate the process based on their leading position in the Greek marketplace, knowledge of the Mytilineos Group and the value of their proprietary global template in evaluating Board performance. The facilitator was granted full access to the operating details of the Board functioning and also attended one of the Board meetings.
The Company has a combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee which examines and processes issues pertaining to: (a) the remuneration of Board members and of senior and other executives; and (b) the suitability of existing and candidate directors, within the scope of its remit under its Terms of Reference. The Committee revisited its Terms of Reference, which were approved and put into effect by the Resolution of the Board of Directors dated 26.07.2021, following relevant proposals submitted by the Committee.
Details on the composition, tenure, functioning, decision-making and meetings of the combined Committee are available under Provision 32.
The nomination responsibilities of the Committee include the following:
The Board has a term of four years and all of its members are subject to re-election. Elections take place every four years. The current Board was appointed by the 2018 AGM. Nominees were submitted unbundled to the General Meeting of the Shareholders for approval.
The Chair has been serving for over 29 years. Following the consolidation of the Group in 2018, the dual role under our Founder Mr. Mytilineos has helped the Company streamline its operating model and leverage synergies between its different BUs as well as delivering outstanding results.
Mr. Mytilineos moreover is the architect of the Company strategy currently underway, hence his vision, knowledge, and involvement are integral to its materialization. Significant strategy and organisational work lies ahead and we feel that any change today in our organisational model would not be beneficial to the Group. Given his unique experience and leadership capacity, our Founder Mr. Mytilineos will continue to play a critical role going forward.
As already mentioned under Principle J, the first ever formal succession planning exercise was completed in late 2021 with facilitation provided by Egon Zehnder. The selection process was reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and elevated to the Board. The exercise covered the CEO and 14 direct reports utilizing Egon Zehnder's global succession planning template. The objective of the exercise was one of mapping both the collective and individual skill set of the executive team and comparing this with the executive capabilities required by the Company over the foreseeable future. This exercise was a key input to address the succession planning needs of the Group.
A set of recommendations were submitted to ensure the Group develops the right competencies to address the challenges and opportunities of the future. A critical initiative relates to the further development of high potential executives through the expansion of their responsibilities and the implementation of personal development plans.
Additionally, all executives involved went through a face-to-face feedback session with the facilitator to help improve their leadership effectiveness.
The external consultant, Egon Zehnder, provided support and assistance for the appointment of the new independent non-executive members of the Board following proposal of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. They advised on the process of identifying needs, candidate assessment and selection of nonexecutive directors. They also provided services to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee on issues related to the Board evaluation, the nominee search for an independent non-executive Director, as well as the succession planning exercise for the executive members of the Board of Directors. Egon Zehnder provided services for the succession planning for the other members of the Company's Executive Committee. Apart from that, they have no other relationship with the company or with members of the Board of Directors.
Board effectiveness was addressed via 2 initiatives – first, an external assessment of the Board's collective capabilities that was discussed by the Board in 2020 and secondly, a follow up review was completed in 2022 that focusses on individual capabilities and Board impact. Following a review of available providers, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee proposed Egon Zender to facilitate the process based on their leading position in the Greek marketplace, knowledge of the Mytilineos Group and the value of their proprietary global template in evaluating Board performance. The facilitator was granted full access to the operating details of the Board functioning and also attended one of the Board meetings.
The collective review of Board effectiveness was executed via face-to- face interviews and utilization of the firm's evaluation tools. The review confirmed that the Board is on a journey of continuous improvement with the opportunity to improve in the areas of deeper engagement of the non-executive Directors in-between Board meetings coupled with an improved knowledge of the operating and strategic model of the Mytilineos Group. Following the exercise, the Group implemented a number of key initiatives – strengthening of the Lead Independent Director function and the institutionalization of 4-5 non-executive Director Board meetings per annum to further increase involvement and impact of the non-executive Directors. Additionally, the exercise highlighted the opportunity to improve Board capability in the areas of Audit and Risk and Compliance, with the subsequent addition as Board Directors of Mr. A. Bartzokas (former Chairman of EBRD's Audit Committee) and Mrs N. Nicolaidis (former global Head of Credit Suisse Investment Banking Risk and Compliance division).
The individual assessment review completed in early 2022 involved face to face interviews of all Board Directors as well as of the Corporate Secretary, completion of an online questionnaire and subsequent utilization Egon Zender's psychometric tools. Key competencies analyzed included Board Results Orientation, Strategic
Orientation, Collaboration and Influencing, Independence and Integrity, Interpersonal Style and Relevant Experience. The findings further reinforced the findings of the collective evaluation as well as progress achieved.
As a conclusion, the 2 Board evaluation exercises strengthened the Board's journey of continuous improvement whilst the initiatives executed have already shown a material improvement in the ability of the Board to add value through strengthened and more continuous involvement.
A separate initiative which was launched for the first time was an annual evaluation of the Chairman & CEO, led by the Lead Independent Director and reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The evaluation was carried out along different areas of CEO accountability, including Strategic Development, Organizational effectiveness, Board Effectiveness, ESG progress and delivery of 2021 Financial Targets. The evaluation was discussed with the Chairman & CEO both individually and at Board level and was a critical input into the 2021 STIP review.
On the conclusion of the evaluation, the recommendations were reviewed at Board level during 2021 and a plan of initiatives was approved. As a follow-up step, the Non-Executive Directors met separately and discussed further initiatives to build on the specific role of the Non-Executive Directors. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee will also monitor progress. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee will monitor that any weaknesses identified are addressed.
In order to fill the vacancy of two independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors, the combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee, taking into account a) the Company's Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors b) the Company's strategy and c) the results of the Board of Directors evaluation, described the role, skills and necessary personal characteristics which will enhance the knowledge and skills of the Board as a whole.
The Committee employed the services of Egon Zehnder, the independent external advisor who had also provided advice to the Company on the 2018 nominee search for the current Board. The Committee reviewed a long list of candidates, which was shortened subsequently, interviewed candidates so to propose Ms. Natalia Nikolaidis and Mr. Anthony Bartzokas as preferred nominees to the Board, in replacement of two resigned independent nonexecutive members. Ms. Nicolaidis brings solid international experience specifically in the areas of Corporate Governance, Compliance and Risk Management, which will complement well the current capabilities of the Board. The Board appointed Ms. Nikolaidis as independent non-executive member on 02.02.2021.
Mr. Bartzokas has experience for several years in international investment businesses with in depth knowledge of emerging markets as well as audit committee function, while his election will further strengthen the independent percentage of the board of directors.
By resolution of the General Meeting of 15 June 2021, the shareholders approved the appointment of Ms. Nikolaidis as independent non-executive member of the Board of Directors in replacement and for the rest of the term of office of the resigned independent non-executive member, Mr. Georgios Chrysikos, i.e. until 07.06.2022.
Furthermore, by resolution of the General Meeting of 15 June 2021, the shareholders elected Mr. Anthony Bartzokas as independent member of the Board of Directors with a term until 07.06.2022, in replacement of the resigned independent non-executive member, Mr. Christos Zerefos.
For future appointments the Remuneration and Nomination Committee shall prepare a description of the role, capabilities and personal attributes required for a particular appointment. Essential feedback for new appointments will come from the Board effectiveness review which will be completed in 2022.
Moreover, the Committee reviewed the non-executive directors as for:
Additionally the Committee reviewed the fulfilment of the independence criteria of all the independent nonexecutive Directors, and informed the Board which in turn ascertained the fulfilment of the independence criteria of the said Directors.
The Company has developed a diversity policy regarding the members of the Board of Directors and senior executives, which states clear objectives, presented in detail in Section 6. As at 31.12.2021 gender diversity at Board level stood at 27%.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee discussed and approved the Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors (Suitability Policy), which has been approved by decision of the General Meeting of 15.06.2021, following the approval of the Board of Directors by its resolution dated 12.05.2021, and constitutes the set of principles and criteria that apply when selecting, replacing, and re-appointing Board members, in terms of assessing their suitability on an individual and collective level. This Policy aims to ensure the quality of recruitment to the Board, its effective functioning and fulfilment of its role, based on the Company's general strategy and medium and long -term business goals for promoting its corporate interest. Further information on the Suitability Policy is available in Section 2.6.
The first ever formal succession planning exercise was completed in late 2021 with facilitation provided by Egon Zehnder. The selection process was reviewed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and elevated to the Board with the selection based on the local relevance of Egon Zehnder as well as their deep knowledge of the Group. The exercise covered the CEO and 14 direct reports utilizing Egon Zehnder's global succession planning template. The objective of the exercise was one of mapping both the collective and individual skill set of the executive team and comparing this with the executive capabilities required by the Company over the foreseeable future. This exercise was a key input to address the succession planning needs of the Group.
The executive assessment framework took a holistic approach to calibrate leadership competencies that are critical to the success of the Group, through personal interviews as well as utilization of management assessment tools. Critical competencies reviewed included Strategic Orientation, Results Orientation, Collaboration and Influencing, Team Leadership, Change Leadership and Building Organizational Capabilities.
A set of recommendations were submitted to ensure the Group develops the right competencies to address the challenges and opportunities of the future. A critical initiative relates to the further development of high potential executives through the expansion of their responsibilities and the implementation of personal development plans. Additionally, all executives involved went through a face-to-face feedback session with the facilitator to help improve their leadership effectiveness.
Board effectiveness was addressed via 2 initiatives – first, an external assessment of the Board's collective capabilities that was discussed by the Board in 2020 and secondly, a follow up review was completed in 2022 that focusses on individual capabilities and Board impact. Following a review of available providers, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee proposed Egon Zender to facilitate the process based on their leading position in the Greek marketplace, knowledge of the Mytilineos Group and the value of their proprietary global template in evaluating Board performance. The facilitator was granted full access to the operating details of the Board functioning and also attended one of the Board meetings.
The collective review of Board effectiveness was executed via face-to- face interviews and utilization of the firm's evaluation tools. The review confirmed that the Board is on a journey of continuous improvement with the opportunity to improve in the areas of deeper engagement of the non-executive Directors in-between Board meetings coupled with an improved knowledge of the operating and strategic model of the Mytilineos Group. Following the exercise, the Group implemented a number of key initiatives – strengthening of the Lead Independent Director function and the institutionalization of 4-5 non-executive Director Board meetings per annum to further increase involvement and impact of the non-executive Directors. Additionally, the exercise highlighted the opportunity to improve Board capability in the areas of Audit and Risk and Compliance, with the subsequent addition as Board Directors of Mr. A. Bartzokas (former Chairman of EBRD's Audit Committee) and Mrs N. Nicolaidis (former global Head of Credit Suisse Investment Banking Risk and Compliance division).
The individual assessment review completed in early 2022 involved face to face interviews of all Board Directors as well as of the Corporate secretary, completion of an online questionnaire and subsequent utilization Egon Zender's psychometric tools. Key competencies analyzed included Board Results Orientation, Strategic Orientation, Collaboration and Influencing, Independence and Integrity, Interpersonal Style and Relevant Experience. The findings further reinforced the findings of the collective evaluation as well as progress achieved.
As a conclusion, the two Board evaluation exercises strengthened the Board's journey of continuous improvement whilst the initiatives executed have already shown a material improvement in the ability of the Board to add value through strengthened and more continuous involvement.
Furthermore, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee informed the Board on the work of the Committee during 2021 and approved amendments of its Terms of Reference, the Training Policy of the Members of the Board of Directors, and the Policy on Board Members' Independence, which also establishes the procedure and rules to be followed, on the one hand, for notifying any dependency relationship of the independent Board members and of the persons closely associated with them; and, on the other hand, for assessing the fulfilment of independence criteria.
The Audit Committee of the Company has been established with the purpose of assisting the Board of Directors to fulfil its oversight responsibilities of the audit procedures for complying with the legal and regulatory framework regarding: (a) financial information, (b) internal audit, (c) the system of internal controls and the risk management system, and (d) supervision of the (external) statutory audit of the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements.
While all members of the Board individually and collectively have a duty to act in the interests of the company, the Committee has a particular role, acting independently from the executive Board Members, to ensure that the interests of shareholders are properly protected in relation to financial reporting and internal control and risk management systems. However, the Board has overall responsibility for the Company's approach to risk management and the system of internal controls.
The Audit Committee revisited its terms of reference. No major amendments were necessary.
At the end of each business year, the Board of Directors prepares the annual financial statements, the annual consolidated financial statements and the management report.
The financial statements constitute a single comprehensive set and give a fair presentation of the recognized assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, profit and loss, as well as the cash flows of the period concerned, as the case may be, in conformance with the law. More specifically, the Board of Directors is required to prepare, pursuant to the above provisions: (a) the Balance Sheet or Financial Position Statement, (b) the Income Statement, (c) the Statement of Equity Change, (d) the Cash Flow Statement, (e) the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The management report provides:
(a) A fair review of the development and performance of the Company business and its position, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company;
(b) A review that presents a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the development and performance of the Company business and position, consistent with the size and the complexity of the Company;
(c) To the extent necessary for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the Company, the said analysis includes both financial and, where appropriate, non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular business of the Company, including information on environmental and labour issues. In the context of this analysis, the report includes, where appropriate, references and additional explanations on the amounts shown in the annual financial statements.
In the management report the Company includes:
(a) a non-financial statement that includes information, to the extent necessary for an understanding of the development, performance, position and impact of its activities in relation, as a minimum, to environmental, social and labour issues, the respect of human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery practices
(b) the corporate governance statement; this statement is included as a separate part in the management report.
The Board defines the strategy and is informed on significant risk factors such as financial, environmental, social, health and safety, and governance.
The Company has defined risk as a set of uncertain and unpredictable situations that may affect all its activities, its business operation and its financial performance, as well as the implementation of its strategy and the achievement of its goals
In line with this approach, it has established a specific risk management approach in all its areas of activity where certain risks have been recognized. This approach consists of the following steps:
The Company has defined specific and comprehensive Risk Management Procedures. All executives are involved in the process of identifying and initially assessing risk to facilitate the work of the management of each business sector and the Board of Directors in the planning and approval of specific actions within the approved Risk Management Procedures.
With regard to Non-Financial Information, since 2010 the Company has introduced a specific Stakeholder engagement process for evaluating the materiality of the sustainability issues which are related to its activity sectors. This process, combined with the corresponding prioritization of these issues by the Company's Business Units, is at the core of the accountability policy applied by the Company.
The process for determining the material sustainability issues is an ongoing exercise that is constantly developed and improved. The purpose of this process is to highlight the issues that reflect the Company's significant environmental and social impacts and influence substantially the decisions of its Stakeholders.
By identifying and understanding the material sustainability issues, the Company formulates and develops its uniform business strategy and its aims, targets and social and environmental initiatives.
Last but not least, the Company conducts regular internal audits to ensure the appropriate and effective implementation of the risk identification and assessment processes and of the management policies for such risks.
At the AGM of 15 June 2021, the shareholders decided that the Audit Committee shall be a committee of the Board of Directors, which shall consist from three independent non-executive members whose term of office shall be the same as their term in the Board of Directors.
The Committee members as a whole have sufficient knowledge in the sectors in which the Company operates and at least one of its members has proven sufficient recent knowledge in auditing and accounting and is required to attend the meetings of the Committee concerning the approval of financial statements.
The assessment for the selection of the candidate Committee members is conducted by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Company's Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The Committee has a Secretary, which cooperates with the Corporate Secretary and is responsible for supporting the operation of the Committee in general, including the keeping of the minutes and the proper implementation of the Committee meetings.
The Committee Chair is appointed by the committee members. The chair of the Board cannot be a member of the Committee.

The aforementioned "Flash Note" referred to non-audited financial figures and estimates of the Management and forecasts relating to financial data or other events of the above periods. It is noted, however, that the external auditor carried out specific pre-agreed procedures on the "Flash Note", for the purpose of issuing "Comfort Letter" to the Company's Management. In the "Comfort Letter" of the external auditors, no disagreements were expressed with regards to the data reported through the "Flash Note".

Finally, the Committee reviewed the relevant press releases on the "Flash Note".
In February 2022, the Audit Committee was informed by the Finance Division about the Company's Financial Statements, both at company and at consolidated level, which were prepared in accordance with the IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Committee was also informed regarding the main accounting assumptions the Company adopted for preparing the Financial Statements which did not differ from those adopted by the Company in 2020, and regarding the key issues the Finance Division considered while preparing these Statements. The Committee was informed that the new or amended IFRS, that were firstly applied in 2021, did not have any significant impact to the Company.
The Committee discussed with the external auditor (Grant Thornton) and the Finance Division the key audit matters during the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31.12.2021. The Committee drafted an explanatory report for the Board of Directors and recommended that the Board approves the Financial Statements. In this report, the Committee explained to the Board how the mandatory audit contributed to the integrity of financial reporting and what the role of the Committee was in this process. In this context, the Committee evaluated and concluded that the annual financial report, along with the annual financial statements and the annual management report of the Company, reflect in a true, fair, balanced and understandable manner the evolution, performance and position of the Company, as well as of the companies included in the consolidation, and provide the required information to the shareholders.

This includes negotiating the fee and scope of the audit, initiating a tender process, expressing an opinion regarding the appointment of an engagement partner and making formal recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment and removal of the external auditors.
In April 2021, the Committee, after assessing the work of Grant Thornton, which is the Company's external auditor, and taking into account, inter alia, the opinion of the Finance Division, decided to propose to the Board of Directors the reappointment of the audit firm Grant Thornton as external auditor for the fiscal year 2021.
The Committee, following dialogue between the Company and the shareholders, has agreed to schedule discussions within the year 2022, among others including the Finance Division, in order to initiate preparatory work for the conduct of a tender for the selection of a new external auditor, in the context of the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 and the relevant transitional provisions of article 52 of Law 4449/2017 regarding the specific requirements for the statutory audit of public-interest entities.
In its relationship with the external auditor, the Committee needs to ensure that the external auditor retain their independence and objectivity and are effective in performing the statutory audit. Both the Board and the external auditor have policies and procedures designed to protect the independence and objectivity of the external auditor.
The Committee considered the external auditors annual declaration of independence and discussed with them threats that may threaten their independence, as well as ways to ensure that these threats are addressed. The Committee examined whether the relationships, considering the views of the external auditor, of the Management and of the internal audit, as appropriate, appear to affect the auditor's independence and objectivity.
In 2021, the external auditors submitted to the Committee the declaration of their independence from the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) and the ethical requirements related to the audit of the financial statements in Greece.
The Audit Committee has devoted a significant time of its meetings in order to be informed and discuss on the process for the preparation of the annual and semi-annual Financial Statements. Main matters and activities performed are as follows:
| Matter | Activity |
|---|---|
| Statutory Audit Planning | The External Auditors presented to the Committee a |
| report, which, inter alia, reflected the plan of | |
| communication between the external auditors and the | |
| Committee in relation to the timing of the statutory | |
| audit, of the separate and consolidated statements of | |
| the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year | |
| 31.12.2021, the audit teams and specialists, as well as | |
| a reference to the key audit matters during the audit | |
| planning and in particular to the identified risks of the | |
| financial statements. | |

| Committee on the methodology and parameters for | |
| its determination. More specifically, the external | |
| auditors informed the Committee that for the |

| calculation of materiality, the Earnings Before Tax has | |
| been defined as an appropriate benchmark, given that | |
| the Company is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange | |
| In the discussions with the external auditors, |
|
| particular emphasis was placed on the "Key Audit | |
| Matters" as identified by the external auditors, and | |
| how they these were treated during the audit. | |
| • Revenue Recognition: this was considered as |
|
| a key audit matter, given the complexity of | |
| the volume of transactions, the use of IT | |
| systems as well as management's judgements | |
| and estimates, which include a degree of | |
| uncertainty. | |
| • Assessment of whether non-current assets |
|
| may be impaired: this was as a key audit | |
| matter, given the significant amounts of | |
| these assets and the use of management's | |
| assumptions and estimates for the |
|
| determination of the relative recoverable | |
| amounts. | |
| • Provisions and contingent liabilities: The |
|
| determination of provisions or disclosures of | |
| contingent liabilities and contingent assets | |
| which relate to litigation claims and |
|
| arbitration procedures has been considered |
| as a key audit matter as it includes significant | |
|---|---|
| management judgments based on legal |
|
| advisors' estimations. | |
| The Committee examined and discussed in detail the | |
| above issues with the external auditors, without the | |
| presence of executives of the Company's Finance | |
| Division. | |
| Report of the Audit Committee to the Board of | The Committee, following the review of the Financial |

|
| POL.1124/2015, as amended in force, for the | |

|
| context of the above tax audit and the | |
| evolution of tax audits by the authorities. | |
| Review of Interim Financial Statements | The external auditors informed, through a relevant |
| report/ presentation, the Committee on their review | |
| of the Interim Financial Statements for the first half of | |
| 2021 carried out in accordance with ISA. The auditors | |
| referred, inter alia, to the scope and areas, as well as |
| their procedures for the review of the Group, the determination of materiality, non- unrecorded misstatements and the key issues of their review. |
|
|---|---|
| Additional Report to the Audit Committee for 2021 | The External Auditors submitted and presented to the Committee their additional report, as provided by article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014 on their audit of the Company and Group Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. |
| Additional Report to the Audit Committee for 2020 | The External Auditors submitted and presented to the Committee their additional report, as provided by article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014 on their audit of the Company and Group Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. |
The Audit Committee monitors the external auditors' compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 537/ 2014, as in force, regarding the level of the total fees paid by the Company to them in proportion to the overall fee income of the Statutory Auditor or their overall fee income from audit services, as well as other related regulatory requirements, so that the external auditor's independence and objectivity is not impaired by the amount of work provided to the Company.
The Committee is responsible for approving non-audit services to the Group entities that are not prohibited by law. The Committee considers that the external auditors have significant knowledge of the Group's business and of how accounting policies are applied. That means it is sometimes cost-efficient for them to provide non-audit services. There may also be confidentiality reasons that make the external auditors the preferred choice for a particular non-audit asignment.
However, safeguarding the external auditors' objectivity and independence is an overriding priority. For this reason, the Committee ensures that the provision of such services does not impair the External Auditor's independence or objectivity.
In the context of non-audit services, whose provision by the Statutory Auditor is not prohibited by law, the Committee should apply judgement on and assess the following:
During 2021, the Committee examined the non-audit services that were proposed to be performed by the external auditor for the Company or subsidiaries of the Group, where the Committee, after evaluating the nature of proposed services and receiving relevant clarifications, declarations and assurance from the external auditor, considered that they did not pose a threat to the external auditor's independence in accordance with the provisions of article 44 of Law 4449/2017 and article 5 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014. The relevant non-audit services concerned pre-agreed procedures (a) in relation to the preparation of the financial statements (including the Explanatory Notes), which would concern fund agreements, calculations, drafts, data collection, analysis and related processing thereof, with the note that these analysis would be based on an approved trial by each Management function, as well as that the adjustment entries would be subject to the approval of the each Management function of the subsidiaries, (b) in the context of supporting the respective Management function for the technical implementation of the conversion processes to IFRS, (c) on the calculation of financial indicators of the Company and its subsidiaries in the context of their compliance with the requirements of loan agreements with the creditors (banks), (d) regarding the proper compilation of the company's financial statements per activity / sector, in accordance with the provisions of Law 4001/2001, (d) for the audit of the Remuneration Report of the Company, (e) on each Flash Report and Trading Update of the Company, (f) for the issuance of comfort letter and bring down letter in the context of the issuance of bonds by the Company, negotiable in the Luxembourg Euro MFT Market , (g) for the issuance of assurance reports in the context of the examination of the implementation of the financial scope of the Company's investment plans and its subsidiaries that have been subject to the provisions of Law 4399/2016, and (h) on the financial data for the table " CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCE DATA " in the context of the Company's participation in public tenders.
Neither the work done, nor the fees payable of the assigned non audit services, compromised the independence or objectivity of our external auditors.
In monitoring the activity, role and effectiveness of the Internal Audit Division (IAD) and their audit program the Committee had frequent meetings with the Internal Audit Director. The main matters examined through 2021 related to the following:

The Committee submitted its Annual Report on its |
| Committee for the year ended 2020 | activities for the year ended 2020 to the General |
| Assembly of the Shareholders of 15th June 2021. |
The Audit Committee expressed its satisfaction for the above information and the progress of the relevant work/projects in progress.
The directors certify that (a) the annual financial statements of the Company drawn up in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, reflect in a true manner the assets and liabilities, equity and results of Mytilineos, as well as of the businesses included in the Group consolidation, taken as a whole and also that (b) the Management Report of the Board of Directors reflects in a true manner the development, performance and financial position Mytilineos and of the businesses included in the Group consolidation, taken as a whole, including the description of the principal risks and uncertainties. The directors state that they consider the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, as fair, balanced and understandable.
Financial and non-financial risk assessment is provided in the Board's Management Report included in the Annual Report.
The Board of Directors re-examines in a continuous and consistent way the corporate strategy and the principal business risks, especially in a constantly changing financial and business environment. Moreover, the Board receives at regular intervals from the Audit Committee reports on the activities of the audits carried out, based on the annual schedule of audits planned by the Company's Internal Audit Division. The above allow the Board to form a detailed opinion of the effectiveness of the systems, processes and regulations of the Company.
In the annual and half-yearly financial statements, the Board states that such statements have been compiled based on the historic cost principle as amended by the readjustment of specific asset and liability items into market values, the going concern principle and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their interpretations that have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB.
The Company does not prepare a separate viability statement. The annual report includes an assessment of the going concern activity for a period of 12 months from the date of the financial statements as well as an analysis of the risks to which the Group is exposed, with a list of the actions that limit them, as well as sensitivity analyses to various variables. In combination, the above disclosures provide information on the viability of the Group and are in line with both the accounting framework followed (International Financial Reporting Standards) and the requirements of Greek Legislation regarding the obligations and responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors and those responsible for the preparation of the annual report.
The Board Remuneration Policy was approved in its original form by the AGM's resolution of the shareholders of Mytilineos dated June 24, 2019 and has been amended by virtue of the AGM's resolution of the shareholders dated June 15, 2021. The main amendment put into effect the Long-Term Incentive Plan so to further support the long-term focus of the remuneration practices of the Company. All of the amendments are marked in blue in the table that follows. The Policy shall be effective for four [4] years from the date it was originally approved, i.e. until June 2023. The Policy was prepared with the help of an external consultant, Korn Ferry, and is in accordance with the EU Shareholder Rights Directive, as incorporated into Greek legislation by virtue of Law 4548/2018.
The Policy applies to the remuneration of all Company's members of the Board of Directors. The Policy sets out details of both (i) the current rights and obligations; and (ii) the terms under which future remuneration may be offered to current and / or new Directors as long as the Policy is in Force.
The Policy considers European best practices for listed entities, whilst reflecting the current Executive Directors' remuneration arrangements. In addition, the Policy takes into consideration the provisions of the Company's articles of association, the Company's corporate governance code and the Company's by-laws.
In short the board remuneration policy is as follows:
The remuneration policy for the Executive Directors contributes to the Company's business strategy and long-term interests and sustainability by:
| Form of compensation | Cash and/or shares |
|---|---|
| Value determination (on-target performance) | CEO: up to 125% of fixed remuneration |
| Other Executive Directors: up to 50% of fixed remuneration | |
| Targets | • Financial targets (at least 60% weight) |
| • Non-financial targets (up to 40% weight) |
|
| NB: To activate the Short-Term Incentive Program, the | |
| Company must achieve at least 85% of the EBITDA target. | |
| In addition, the Short-Term Incentive Program pay-out is | |
| subject to the achievement of a predefined target in terms | |
| of environmental, health and safety, as well as corporate | |
| social responsibility criteria. In case those are not met, the | |
| pay-out is decreased according to the level of achievement. | |
| Maximum performance Scenario | Up to 200% of the on-target incentive payout |
| Form of compensation | Shares or in cash equivalent, provided to the Executive | |
|---|---|---|
| Director to buy company shares at 30% of total value | ||
| granted and to hold them for 2 years | ||
| Value determination (on-target performance) for | CEO: 100% of fixed remuneration | |
| granted shares | Other Executive Directors: 60% of fixed remuneration | |
| Criteria for vesting | • TSR relative to FTSE/ATHEX Large Cap excluding banks • Absolute target for EPS |
|---|---|
| Maximum performance Scenario | 150% of the on-target incentive payout |
| Vesting Schedule | 30% on year 4, 30% on year 5, 40% on year 6 |
The Non-Executive Directors are paid a basic board fee which is fixed and covers for the time required to perform their duties. This fixed fee covers for the time to attend in Board meetings and includes travelling and preparation time. Supplemental fees may be paid to the Non-Executive Directors for additional responsibilities and activities, which exceed the scope of the duties assigned including but not limited to, attending site visits, and meetings with management. The Remuneration Policy was amended to clarify that there are no fees payable to independent non-executive directors other than for their participation to the Board and/or its Committees.
There is no performance-based variable pay or pension provided to the non-executive Chairman or Non-Executive Directors.
Reasonable business expenses incurred by the Non-Executive Directors in carrying out their duties may be reimbursed by the Company such as professional courses, purchasing reading material to ensure they are up to date on any relevant matters, taking into account any internal policy that is applicable.
The complete remuneration policy document is available on the Company's website at https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/vowkemcd/mytilineos-rem-policy-2021eng.pdf .
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Company (the "Committee") has worked with all relevant units of the Company, as well as an independent remuneration consultant (Korn Ferry), to arrive at the Remuneration Policy, which has been recommended to and approved by the Board of Directors by virtue of a resolution dated 9 May 2019. Further the abovementioned amendments have been recommended by the Committee to and approved by the Board by virtue of a resolution dated 12 May 2021.
The process for the approval of the Policy (and any amendments thereto) is determined by the Company's articles of association and Law 4548/2018.
The Committee submits the Policy for approval to the Board of Directors. No member of the Board of Directors shall be present when their own remuneration is discussed. Once agreed by the Board of Directors, the Policy is submitted for approval at the Company's AGM of Shareholders.
The Committee considers regularly whether the Policy continues to be aligned to the Company's business strategy or whether amendments should be recommended to the Board of Directors. Every four years (or earlier on a need for change) on the recommendation of the Committee, the Board of Directors will seek the Shareholders' approval of any new Policy.
The aim of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure the Company is remunerating its Directors on the basis of the Company's short and long-term business plan, so as to continue creating value for customers, shareholders, employees and the Greek economy.
The level of fixed pay – salary and directors' emoluments – for both Executive and Non-Executive Directors is established on the basis of paying fair and reasonable remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role, taking into account the level of responsibility, as well as the knowledge and experience required to deliver upon expectations, while ensuring that the Company pays no more than is necessary, always supporting its longer-term interests and sustainability.
The Policy provides for variable compensation arrangements for Executive Directors to further align the Executive Directors' interests with those of the Company as the performance conditions used will be based on indicators of the long-term success and sustainability of the Company.
The Policy does not include any variable compensation for Non-Executive Directors to ensure that there is no conflict of interest in the decision making of the Non-Executive Directors and their ability to challenge management's risk-taking decisions.
As mentioned under Provision 17, the Company has a combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee which examines and processes issues pertaining to: (a) the remuneration of Board members (the "directors") and of senior and other executives; and (b) the suitability of existing and candidate directors, within the scope of its remit under these Terms of Reference. The Committee revisited its Terms of Reference, which were approved and put into effect by the Resolution of the Board of Directors dated 26.07.2021, following relevant proposals submitted by the Committee.
The remuneration responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee include the following:
The Committee Chair informs the Board regarding the Committee's work on all matters falling within its remit and the manner in which it has fulfilled its duties; submitting a report in this regard in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, which the Company implements.
The Committee Chair has served on a remuneration committee for 15 months prior to his appointment. The Chairman of the Board may be a Committee member only if they are an independent non-executive Director on appointment as Chairman of the Board. In any case, the Chairman of the Board cannot chair the Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee was established, under its current composition, by decision of the Board of Directors of 07.06.2018 and is currently composed of three (3) independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors, whose term of office is due to expire on 07/06/2022 .
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee meets regularly and informs the Board following each meeting. Information on the composition, meetings and activities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee during the year 2021 are listed below.
| Composition of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee |
Status | Tenure in office | Meetings in 2021 | Attendance rate of meetings |

The Committee' s Secretary is the Company Secretary Mrs Leda Condoyanni, with Mr Panagiotis Psarreas as her Deputy Company Secretary.
Further information on the remit, responsibilities and the modus operandi of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are available in the Committee's Terms of Reference, which have been released in the Company' s website www.mytilineos.gr at the following address: https://www.mytilineos.gr/who-weare/governance/corporate-governance/committees#section4 .
The Committee has not delegated responsibility but submits the policy for executive director remuneration to the Board for approval.
Fixed pay for the Chair, who is also the CEO currently, and for the executives of the Company is set by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Committee, taking into account levels of pay at other companies of a similar size for roles of similar scope and responsibility. Additionally, the contract for the Chair/CEO has been approved by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.
The remuneration policy for the Executive Directors, as for all employees, is based on the principle of paying fair and reasonable remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role while ensuring that the Company pays fairly and competitively and in the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company.
The Committee and Board of Directors receive periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices within the Company, which are considered when establishing and revisiting the Policy. This is to ensure that remuneration practices and structure are as consistent as possible across the Company, while acknowledging that the structure of remuneration for Executive Directors is necessarily different to that of less senior employees as a result of their role and ability to impact the performance of the business.
In addition, the Committee and Board of Directors are provided with information on remuneration trends across the Company including average pay increases along with any relevant economic data, such as the rate of inflation to take into account when operating the Policy.
The remuneration of the non-executive directors is determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Chairman and CEO in accordance with the remuneration policy. The remuneration of non-executive directors is not comparable to the structure of remuneration for the employees and executive directors of the Company. The Non-Executive Directors are paid a basic board fee which is fixed and covers for the time required to perform their duties. Supplemental fees may be paid to the Non-Executive Directors for additional responsibilities and activities, which exceed the scope of the duties assigned including but not limited to, attending site visits, and meetings with management. The Remuneration Policy was amended to clarify that there are no fees payable to independent non-executive directors other than for their participation to the Board and/or its Committees.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee appointed Korn Ferry, an independent remuneration consultant, to work with the committee in drafting the policy. The consultant assisted the Committee in their engagement with the Management Team and worked with all the relevant management units of the company. To arrive at the Policy the consultant discussed with the Committee the requirements of Law 4548/2018, which transposed the SRDII, and the UK Corporate Governance Code. The consultant also assisted the Committee for the amendments of the Remuneration Policy of 2021. Korn Ferry is not affiliated with members of the Board of Directors and provides remuneration consulting services to the General Division of Human Resources.
In the Long-Term Incentive Program, the fees are set at 30% in year 4, 30% in year 5 and 40% in year 6. With the approval of the Board of Directors, the payment can be made in shares or in the equivalent of value in cash with the obligation of the Executive member of the Board of Directors to buy shares of the Company, at a rate of 30% of the total value granted, as well as to hold them for 2 years.
Temporary derogations from the Policy may be allowed in exceptional circumstances, for example in circumstances of recruitment or retention, where it is considered by the Board of Directors necessary to serve the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole, or to assure its viability. Any derogation is required to be considered and approved by the Board of Directors. The elements of the Policy from which a derogation is possible are those which determine short and long-term incentives.
Payments under the short-term incentive scheme will be subject to recovery for a period of at least 3 years from payment in the event of certain specified events including inaccurate financial statements of previous years or otherwise erroneous financial data used to calculate such short-term incentive scheme payouts and misconduct.
Retirement allowance is offered to executives in order to provide market competitive retirement benefits for recruitment and retention purposes. The Company may operate - not currently in force - a defined-contribution pension plan in which the Executive Directors may participate. The maximum contribution from the Company for Executive Directors is up to 25% of Fixed Pay.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee ensures compensation commitments in directors' terms of appointment do not reward poor performance.
In case of termination of contractual arrangements with Executive Directors at the initiative of the Company, notice periods and termination payments shall be as provided by the current legal requirements in the Board Remuneration Policy.
Currently, according to law, notice periods are up to 4 months based on the years of employment while the maximum amount for severance are up to 12 monthly salaries based on the years of employment. Executive Directors of the Board, in their capacity as such, are not entitled to severance payments or other compensation by the Company, for loss of office or otherwise howsoever arising.
There is however a contract for provision of services between the Company and the current Chairman and CEO, the terms of which, as approved by the ordinary general meeting of shareholders on 7th June 2018, provide, among others, for right to termination of the contract and compensation in case of change of control of the Company (including as a result of a Public Acquisition Offer).
Last, payments under both the short-term and long-term incentive schemes will be subject to recovery for a period of at least 3 years from payment in the event of certain specified events including inaccurate financial statements of previous years or otherwise erroneous financial data used to calculate such short-term incentive scheme payouts and misconduct.
The remuneration policy for the Executive Directors, as for all employees, is based on the principle of paying fair and reasonable remuneration for the best and most appropriate person for the role while ensuring that the Company pays fairly and competitively and in the longer-term interests and sustainability of the Company.
Shareholder voting guidelines on Executive Directors' remuneration and best practice were taken into consideration as part of the process in formulating the Board Remuneration Policy.
The Committee and Board of Directors receive periodic updates on the wider employee remuneration structure and practices within the Company, which are considered when establishing and revisiting the Policy. Also the General Manager of Human Resources is invited to attend all or part of any meeting of the Committee to provide input on employment trends.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee held four (4) meetings. All members of the Committee attended all the meetings.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee, worked with an independent remuneration consultant (Korn Ferry), to prepare for the second Remuneration Report of the members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the current legislation and the SRD II, which was transposed into Greek law by Law 4548/2018 [https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/uhre5plr/item\_3-mytilineos\_rem\_report\_2020\_en.pdf]. The drafting of the Remuneration Report of the Board of Directors 2020 took into account the consultation of the European Commission, of 1 March 2019, regarding the guidelines for the standard presentation of the Remuneration Report under Community Directive 2007/36/EC, as amended by EU Directive 2017/828 regarding the encouragement of long-term active participation of shareholders (SRD II). The external auditors prepared a report on the pre-agreed procedures [https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/kvglhkha/item-3-gt\remuneration\_report\%CE%BC%CF%85%CF%8 4eng.pdf].
The Report describes how the Remuneration Policy 2019 was implemented, taking into account the basic remuneration principles, remuneration design planning, as well as the actual performance achieved at Company and executive level, during the year 2020. The Report describes how the views of key institutional shareholders of the Company, where taken into account following the shareholder engagement that took place during the first CG Roadshow. Furthermore, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee approved the project "Benchmarking Remuneration 2021" concerning the remuneration of the executive and non-executive members of the Board of Directors for which the Committee worked with an independent remuneration consultant (Korn Ferry).
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has ensured that the remuneration of the Executive Members of the Board of Directors is in line with and the operational strategy of MYTILINEOS and that they support it. This alignment is achieved as strategic business objectives are taken as the basis for setting the financial and strategic individual objectives of the Executive Board members.
The Report was submitted to the Board for approval and to the 2021 AGM for an advisory vote and received positive votes at a rate of 99.45% [https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/3xeb5cpk/voting\_results-31st\_annual\_general\_meeting\_15-06-2021\_eng.pdf].
During 2021, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee discussed and approved the LTIP and the STIP for the executive members of the Board and submitted it to the Board for approval.
Furthermore, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee discussed and approved amendments to the Remuneration Policy 2019 and submitted them for approval to the Board. The amendments were finally approved by virtue of the AGM's resolution of the shareholders dated June 15, 2021. The main amendment put into effect the Long-Term Incentive Plan so to further support the long-term focus of the remuneration practices of the Company. The Policy shall be effective for four [4] years from the date it was originally approved, i.e. until June 2023.
2.1.1. Acting collectively, the Board of Directors is entrusted with the governance, i.e. management and representation, of the Company and has authority to decide on all matters relevant to the administration of the Company, management of the Company's property and the pursuit of the object of the Company, except for those matters which under the law or under the Articles of Association fall within the exclusive authority of the General Meeting, with the aim of strengthening the Company's economic value and profitability, of promoting its longterm sustainable success and of safeguarding the Company's interests. The Board is furthermore entrusted with the full and effective control of the Company business and acts in conformance with the provisions of law and the Articles of Association.
The Board of Directors holds a meeting whenever the law, the Articles of Association or the needs of the Company so dictate. It is the Company's practice that the Board of Directors meets regularly at least once per month, and several times on an extraordinary basis whenever important issues arise or there is a need for immediate decisionmaking. The regular meetings of the Board of Directors are usually attended by all Board members. Thus far, the Board of Directors has never postponed making a decision because of lack of quorum.
According to the Articles of Association and the Company's Internal Regulation, the main responsibilities of the Board of Directors include, indicatively, the following:
The Chairman of the Board of Directors coordinates and directs the Board's meetings and overall functioning. He heads the Board of Directors and is responsible for convening meetings, determining the agenda and ensuring the proper organisation of the Board's activities and the efficient conduct of its meetings. The Chairman is also responsible for ensuring the provision of timely and accurate information to the Board members, as well as for effective communications with all shareholders, seeking to guarantee the fair and equitable treatment of the interests of all shareholders. In the event that the Chairman is absent or prevented from attending, he is replaced in all his responsibilities and powers by the Vice-Chairman A', who is in turn replaced, when absent or prevented from attending, by the Vice-Chairman B'.
The CEO follows up on and checks the implementation of the Company's strategic goals, monitors its day-to-day management and sets out the guidelines for the Company's Business Units and Central Functions. He supervises and ensures the smooth, orderly and effective operation of the Company in accordance with the strategic goals, the business plans and the action plan, as these are specified by the resolutions of the Board of Directors and of the General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders. The CEO sits on and reports to the Board of Directors and implements the Company's strategic choices and key decisions.
The Board's Vice-Chairman A' replaces the Chairman of the Board in all of the latter's responsibilities and powers, in the event that the latter is absent or prevented from attending. The Vice-Chairman A' also chairs the procedure cornering the evaluation of the Board of Directors. Finally, he follows up on and ensures the smooth and effective collaboration and communication between the Board Committees and the Board of Directors.
The Lead Independent Director is charged with coordinating the Board's Executive and Non-Executive Members and ensuring effective communication between them. He also chairs the procedure concerning the evaluation of the Chairman by the Board Members, as well as the meetings of the Board's Non-Executive Members. Finally, he is available and attends the General Meetings of the Company's shareholders, in order to discuss matters pertaining to corporate governance, as and when the need arises.
The Board of Directors appoints a Company Secretary. The Company Secretary is responsible for ensuring compliance with Board procedures, advising the Board and its committees on all corporate governance matters, supporting the Chairman of the Board and assisting the Board and its committees in their effective functioning. Under the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the responsibilities of the Company Secretary include: ensuring the effective flow of information between the Board and its committees and between Senior Management and the Board; planning the induction training programme for newly-elected Board members immediately after their election and facilitating the ongoing training of Board members; maintaining the minutes of Board and Board committee meetings; ensuring that Board members are provided with information and training on a continuous basis on matters relating to the Company; and ensuring the effective communication on governance issues among the shareholder and the Board of Directors, with a view to ensuring the Board's compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Company Secretary assists the Chairman of the Board in establishing the policies and procedures necessary for the Board to operate in accordance with applicable legislation and the Corporate Governance Code that the Company implements. The Chairman of the Board and the Company Secretary should periodically review whether the Board's and the Company's corporate governance procedures are appropriate for the purpose they serve and consider any improvements or initiatives that could enhance corporate governance.

The Company adopted and implements a Policy and Procedures on Conflicts of Interest, which has been approved by the Board of Directors by its resolution dated 15.06.2021.
This Policy identifies the circumstances that constitute or may lead to a conflict of interest, while setting out the procedures to be followed and the measures to be taken to mitigate, manage and resolve any such conflict in case they arise. This Policy essentially provides directions to the Board of Directors, the Executive Management Team, the management and all employees of the Company regarding the identification and management of conflicts of interest.
The Company strives to avoid conflicts of interest to ensure that it continues to operate in accordance with its purpose. In any case, it takes all necessary measures to prevent conflicts of interest and, if such conflicts nevertheless arise, acts immediately for their management and limitation, providing mitigation and resolution measures and applying the necessary controls, pursuant to the provisions of the aforementioned Policy.
Each member of the Board of Directors, and any third party the Board has delegated the exercise of powers vested in it, has a duty of loyalty to the Company and they are expected not to pursue interests of their own that run contrary to the interests of the Company. Board members act with integrity and in the Company's interests and safeguard the confidentiality of information that is not publicly available. They must not have a relationship of competition with the Company and should avoid any position or activity that creates or appears to create a conflict between their personal interests and those of the Company, including holding positions on the board of directors or the management of competitor companies, without permission from the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders. Board members must contribute their experience and devote to their duties the necessary time and attention.
Prior to their appointment, they should notify the Board of Directors of their other professional commitments, including significant non-executive commitments, to companies and non-profit institutions, and should report to the Board any changes in such commitments, as soon as these arise. Furthermore, they should timely and adequately disclose to the Company's Compliance Division and the other members of the Board of Directors their own interests which may arise from any company transactions and/or activities of the Company falling within their scope of duties, as well as any other conflict of interest they may have with those of the Company or an affiliated company. The members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Management Team of the Company are required to submit to the Compliance Division of the Company a "Conflict of Interest Declaration", as detailed in the aforementioned Policy and in the form attached thereto, at the time of onboarding into the Company, as well as on an annual basis and should also update it in the course of the year, if required. No member of the Company's Board of Directors is allowed to vote on issues for which a conflict of interest exists between him/her (or one of his/her "relatives" under the meaning of the aforementioned Policy) and the Company's interest. In such a case, resolutions are passed by the other members of the Board of Directors.
The Compliance Division of the Company considers and assesses all conflicts of interest disclosed to it and decides on the measures that may need to be taken to appropriately resolve, mitigate or manage the identified conflicts, informing the person concerned accordingly. The Compliance Division keeps record of all cases of conflicts of interest that have been
disclosed to it and the decisions it has taken to address them, and, at least annually, it informs the Company's Audit Committee, of all the above incidents that have occurred and the decisions taken during the year, by way of submitting a relevant report to it.
During 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company held 63 meetings. The table below shows the Board members' attendance of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees:

Concerning the number of Board meetings, we note that pursuant to Greek Law, the Articles of Association of the Company and the relevant resolutions of the General Meetings of the shareholders regarding the delegation of authorities within the Board of Directors, collective action by the Board is required for a number of matters, such as for providing a corporate guarantee in favour of any third party, including companies associated with the Company. Also taking into consideration the Company's extensive activities in Greece and abroad via its, Metallurgy, Power and Gas, Sustainable Engineering Solutions, and Renewable & Storage Development Business Units the Board of Directors often must act collectively, in the sense that there is a requirement for a relevant resolution which must be reflected in the minutes of the respective Board's meeting.
However, it should be noted that no administrative or other costs incur for the Company as a result of these resolutions. The relevant minutes of the Board's resolutions are drafted and are signed by circulation by all members of the Board, without a prior meeting of the Board taking place, pursuant to art. 94 of L. 4548/2018. More specifically, out of the total number of 63 minutes of the Board's meetings during 2021, 57 of them were drafted and were signed by all members of the Board without a prior meeting of the Board taking place.
During 2021, the non-executive members of the Board held five (5) meetings without the presence of the executive members of the Board, to discuss the following issues:

The Company has adopted and implements a Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of Directors (Suitability Policy), which has been approved by decision of the General Meeting of 15.06.2021, following the approval of the Board of Directors by its resolution dated 12.05.2021, and constitutes the set of principles and criteria that apply when selecting, replacing, and re-appointing Board members, in terms of assessing their suitability on an individual and collective level. This Policy aims to ensure the quality of recruitment to the Board, its effective functioning and fulfilment of its role, based on the Company's general strategy and medium and long -term business goals for promoting its corporate interest.
The Policy for the Suitability Assessment of the Members of the Board of directors is posted on the Company's website at the following address: https://www.mytilineos.gr/media/xtjc3lwx/suitability_policy_en_26072021.pdf .
The general principles governing the aforementioned Policy include the following:
The Company's Board of Directors should consist of persons of moral standing and good repute, and it should have an adequate number of members and an appropriate composition, which should reflect the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to fulfil its responsibilities, according to the Company's business model and strategy. The Board members should also commit sufficient time to carry out their duties.
The Company promotes and ensures diversity and adequate representation of gender in its Board, in accordance with the Diversity Policy and, in general, ensures equal treatment and equal opportunities, as well as that its Board Members wield a broad spectrum of qualifications and competencies.
The suitability of the Board members is assessed both on an individual and a collective level.
Individual suitability means that a person is considered to have - as a Board member - sufficient knowledge, skills, experience, independence of mind, good repute and moral standing for the performance of their duties as a member of the Company' s Board, for which performance of duties he/she shall also commit sufficient time, pursuant to the said Policy, which establishes specific criteria for the assessment of all above factors.
Collective suitability means that the Board collectively should be suitable for carrying out its responsibilities and should be composed in such manner as to contribute to the effective management of the Company and to balanced decision-making. Board members should collectively be able:
The Suitability Policy sets out clear criteria for assessing the collective suitability of the Board as well. For instance, the composition of the Board should reflect the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to fulfil its responsibilities and the Board members should collectively have the skills necessary to present their views. In general, all the sectors in which the Company operates (Power & Gas sector, Metallurgy sector, Renewables & Storage Development sector and Sustainable Development/Sustainable Engineering Solutions), as well as any other related subject (indicatively, finance and capital markets) should be covered by the Board collectively, with sufficient expertise among its members.
The Company bears the primary responsibility for identifying shortcomings in both the individual and the collective suitability of Board members and to this end the Board conducts a self-assessment annually. This suitability assessment is part of the annual assessment of the Company's Board, which is conducted by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The
findings of this assessment are processed and presented to the Board by its Chair, acting in collaboration with the Lead Independent Director.
In the context of the Board's assessment, the Board may, at its discretion and upon recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, decide to have its assessment conducted also by third party consultants, either on a regular or ad hoc basis.
Apart from the aforementioned regular assessment of the Board members' suitability, their individual or collective suitability shall also be assessed in exceptional circumstances, especially in the cases mentioned in the Suitability Policy.
In the event that any Board member no longer meets one or more of the suitability criteria, as described in the said Policy, and that this affects the Board's individual or collective suitability, the possibility shall be examined of taking corrective measures to address the weakness identified.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee shall keep a record of the results of the suitability assessment, particularly any weaknesses/shortcomings between the expected and the actual individual and collective suitability, also of any measures taken to address those deficiencies.
In case that one or more of the suitability criteria ceased to exist in the person of a member of the Board for reasons that this member could not prevent, even with extreme diligence, the Board shall arrange for their dismissal and replacement within three (3) months.
The Company has adopted and applies a Training Policy for the members of its Board of Directors, according to which the Company's Lead Independent Director, assisted by the Corporate Secretary, shall ensure:
No later than one month following their appointment, new Board members attend an induction programme, whose purpose is to provide them with information that will be useful in the effective performance of their duties. In particular with regard to Board members who are members of Board Committees, the induction also includes information on the scope of these Committees. The training may be provided by any appropriate means and, in particular, in person or remotely, using synchronous or asynchronous teaching methods, individually or in groups, during or outside working hours, at the Company's headquarters or elsewhere. Indicatively, online seminars, programmes with physical presence, lectures may be organised.
Specifically, for the members of the Company's Board of Directors whose appointment to the Board or its Committees took place during 2021, an induction programme specifically developed for them was implemented, which took place immediately after each new Board member took up their duties, within the aforementioned period of one month following their appointment, and included, informative meetings, presentations and discussions with key members of the Management, with the aim to help new members to understand the purpose and nature of the Company's business activities, the corporate governance arrangements, values, overall strategy and structure of the Company, the sectors in which it operates, as well as the respective roles and responsibilities of the new Board member. The programme also relied on support provided by the Board's executive members, as well as by previous Board members, so as to ensure the fullest possible briefing and swift integration of the new Board members.
The Company has established a Sustainability Committee which, in accordance with the Company' s Internal Regulation and the Committee' s own Terms of Reference, which were approved and put into effect by the Resolution of the Board of Directors dated 15.06.2021, after having been approved by the resolution of the Committee of 26.05.2021, assists the Board of Directors of the Company in integrating Sustainable Development policies and procedures in the Company's basic decisionmaking processes and operations.

(f) The option to distribute (under para. 3 of art. 162 of Law 4548/2018) profits or voluntary reserves within the current business year under a BoD resolution which is submitted to the publication formalities.
As to the rest, the General Meeting decides on any BoD proposal included in the agenda.
The shareholders' General Meeting's legal decisions also bind the shareholders who are absent or disagree.
The shareholders' General Meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, by the statutory auditor of the Company upon the latter's request to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, by minority shareholders representing at least one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-in share capital of the Company upon a requisition in this respect or, when the conditions applicable are in place, by another person or body explicitly provided for under the law.
The General Meeting is held at the Company's seat or in the region of another municipality within the prefecture where the Company has its seat or in another municipality neighbouring the one where the Company has its seat, at least once a year, always in the first semester from the expiry of each fiscal year. The General Meeting can also be held in the municipality where the seat of the Stock Market where the Company's shares are listed.
Under a resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the General Meeting may not be held at a physical location, but it may be conducted entirely remotely through audiovisual or other electronic means, pursuant to the provisions of article 125 of law 4548/2018 and paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of article 13 hereof, when such is absolutely necessary, having considered any extraordinary circumstances (such as governing guidance or other restrictions or recommendations or measures that may prevent physical gatherings) however it shall ensure at all times proper opportunity for the shareholders to actively participate in the general meeting and exercise their rights.
The Board of Directors can convene an extraordinary shareholders' General Meeting, when deemed necessary.
Except in the case of reiterative general meeting sessions and those assimilated to them, the General Meeting, shall be convened by notice published, as provided under applicable law, at least twenty (20) clear days prior to the date appointed for its session. It is clarified that non-working days are taken into account in calculating the 20-days time limit. The publication day of the invitation to the General Meeting and the day of the meeting are not taken into account. The invitation to the General Meeting contains as a minimum the following information: the building, with exact address details; the date and time of the meeting; the agenda items, clearly defined; the shareholders entitled to participate; precise instructions on the manner in which shareholders shall be able to participate at the meeting and exercise their rights in person or by proxy or even remotely; the rights of the shareholders, with reference of the time period within which any such right may be exercised or, alternatively, the deadline by which such rights may be exercised; detailed information on such rights and terms for the exercise thereof must be made available by means of express reference in the notice to the Company website; the procedure for the exercise of the voting right by proxy and in particular the forms used by the Company for this purpose as well as the means and methods provided in order for the Company to receive electronic notices for the appointment and recall of proxies; determination of the date of record, with explicit mention of the fact that only those persons having shareholder status as at such date shall have the right to participate and vote at the General Meeting; the place where the complete text of the documents and draft resolutions shall be available as well as the manner that these may be obtained, and the Company website address, where the information regarding the rights of the shareholders prior to the General Meeting shall be available. No invitation is required if shareholders representing the total of the share capital are presented or represented and no one objects to its convocation and decision taking.
Remote participation at the General Meeting is possible using audiovisual or other electronic means, without the shareholder being physically present at the place where the General Meeting is held. In addition, remote participation at the vote is permitted, by electronic means or by correspondence, to be taken prior to the General Meeting session. Under a resolution passed by the Board of Directors the aforementioned options are given effect, any one or all of them, in respect of one or more General Meeting sessions or for a specified time period, the relevant technical and procedural details are specified, and procedures are adopted for establishing the participant's identity and the origin of the vote, as well as for securing the electronic or other connection.
The General Meeting is in quorum and validly meets on the items on the agenda when a percentage of at least twenty per cent (20%) of the paid-up share capital is represented thereat. If such a quorum is not achieved in the first assembly, the General Meeting shall be held anew within twenty (20) days from the date of the adjourned meeting upon notice of the Board of Directors at least ten (10) clear days in advance. Such reiterative session is in quorum and validly meets on the items on the agenda whatever the part of the paid-up share capital represented. A new notice is not required, if the original notice specified the place and time for repeat sessions in case no quorum is present at the original General Meeting session, provided the adjourned and the reiterative sessions are a minimum of five (5) clear days apart.
The decisions of the General Meeting are taken with the absolute majority of the votes represented in the meeting. The General Meeting is exceptionally considered to be in quorum and validly meets on the items on the agenda if at least one half (1/2) of the paid-up share capital are represented, in the case of decisions pertaining to a change of the nationality of the Company, a change of the business object of the Company, increase of shareholders' obligations, ordinary increase of share capital unless imposed under the law or effected by means of capitalization of reserves, share capital reduction except when it is in accordance with para. 5 of article 21 of Law 4548/2018 or para. 6 of article 49 of Law 4548/2018, a change in the manner of appropriation of profits, merger, split, conversion, revival, term extension or dissolution of the Company, the granting or renewal of power to the Board of Directors for share capital increase, pursuant to para. 1 of art. 24 of Law 4548/2018, as well as in all other cases in which the law specifies that the General Meeting shall adopt resolutions under a qualified quorum and majority.
Until the General Meeting Chairman is elected, the General Meeting is provisionally chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or, if the Chairman is unable to attend, by his Deputy, as may be appointed by the Board of Directors in a special resolution to this effect. The Chairman shall also appoint a provisional secretary. After the list of the shareholders with a right to vote is approved, the meeting continues with the election of its Chair and a secretary who also acts as a vote teller. Resolutions on these matters are passed by absolute majority of the votes represented at the General Meeting.
The discussions and decisions of the General Meeting are restricted to the items on the agenda. The agenda is prepared by the Board of Directors and includes the proposals of the Board to the General Meeting and possible proposals made by the auditors or shareholders representing one twentieth (1/20) of the paid-up share capital. For the items discussed for which decisions are taken, minutes are kept, signed by the Chair and the Secretary. The list of the shareholders present or represented in the General Meeting is recorded at the beginning of the minutes.
Shareholders exercise their rights related to the Company's administration only by participating in the General Meeting. Each share entitles the holder to one vote at the General Meeting.
Entitled to participate at the General Meeting is each person that has a shareholder status pursuant to the Dematerialized Securities Register of the Company, which is kept electronically with the company "Greek Central Securities Depository SA" (ATHEXCSD), as at the start of the fifth (5th) day prior to the day of the original General Meeting session (record date). The aforementioned record date is also applicable in the case of an adjourned or reiterative session, provided that such adjourned or reiterative session is not more than thirty (30) days from the record date pursuant to article 124 par. 6 of law 4548/2018. If this is not the case, or if in the case of a reiterative General Meeting a new notice is published, persons having shareholder status as at the start of the third day prior to the day of the adjourned or reiterative General Meeting session may participate at the General Meeting.
Shareholder status may be evidenced by any means and, in any case, based on the information received by the Company directly through electronic connection with the registers of ATHEXCSD. Those entitled to participate and vote at the General Meeting are only the individuals who qualify as shareholders on the said record date. In case of non-compliance with the provisions of article 124 of law 4548/2018, the shareholders may participate at the General Meeting only after permission by the General Meeting.
The exercise of the said rights does not require the blocking of the beneficiary's shares nor the adherence to any other similar procedure, which limits the possibility of selling and transferring them during the period between the record date and the date of the relevant General Meeting session.
Shareholders who are entitled to participate at the General Meeting may participate and cast their vote either in person or by proxy. Each shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies. Legal entities participate at the General Meeting by appointing up to three (3) natural persons as their representatives. However, when a shareholder owns shares in the Company, which appear in more than one securities account, this limitation does not preclude the shareholder from appointing different proxies for the shares shown in each securities account in respect of a specific General Meeting session. A shareholder may appoint a proxy for one or more General Meeting sessions and for a specified time period. The proxy casts vote according to the instructions of the shareholder, if any. Non-compliance of the proxy with the received instructions does not affect the validity of the General Meeting's resolutions, even if such proxy's vote was decisive for achieving the majority.
The appointment as well as the revocation or replacement of the shareholder's representative or proxy shall be made in writing and shall be submitted to the Company's headquarters at least forty eight (48) hours prior to the date appointed for the General Meeting. The proxy is obliged to notify the Company, prior to the commencement of the General Meeting, of any specific fact, which might be useful to shareholders, in order for them to assess a possible risk that the proxy might serve interests other than the shareholder's interests. Conflict of interest may arise in particular in cases where the proxy: a) is a controlling shareholder of the Company or is a legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder; b) is a member of the Board of Directors or of the management of the Company in general or of a controlling shareholder, or of another legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder; c) is an employee or an auditor of the Company or of a controlling shareholder, or of another legal person or entity controlled by a controlling shareholder; d) is a spouse or a first degree relative of a natural person referred to in cases a) to c) above.

The additional items must be published or disclosed under the responsibility of the Board of Directors in accordance with article 122 of Law 4548/2018 at least seven (7) days prior to the general meeting. The request to include additional items in the agenda must be accompanied by a justification or by a draft decision to be adopted by the General Meeting. The revised agenda must be published in the same manner as the previous agenda, thirteen (13) days before the date of the General Meeting session and at the same time must be also made available to shareholders on the Company's website, along with the justification or the draft decision submitted by the shareholders, in accordance with article 123 paragraph 4 of Law 4548/2018. If these additional items are not published, the requesting shareholders are entitled to request the adjournment of the General Meeting in accordance with article 141 paragraph 5 of Law 4548/2018 and to make the publication themselves, in accordance with the second sentence of this paragraph (and article 141 paragraph 2 of law 4548/2018) at Company's expense.

In all the above cases, the Board of Directors may refuse to provide such information for substantive ground, as recorded in the minutes. Such a reason may be, in the circumstances, the representation of the requesting shareholders to the board, in accordance with articles 79 or 80 of Law 4548/2018. In the cases of this paragraph, the Board of Directors may respond in a single application to shareholders with the same content.

v) Article 141 paragraph 8 of Law 4548/2018: In the cases referred to in article 141 paragraphs 6 and 7 of Law 4548/2018, any question as to the merits or not of the grounds of refusal on the part of the Board of Directors to provide the requested information, shall be resolved by court's decision, issued in interim injunction proceedings. By the same decision, the court obliges the Company to provide the information denied. The decision is not subject to any legal remedies.
In all above cases, the requesting shareholders must prove their shareholder status, as well as the number of shares they own, during the exercise of their right, except for in case of the first subparagraph of paragraph 6 of article 141 of Law 4548/2018.

The Company has an internal control, quality assurance and risk management system regarding financial information and has designed appropriate safeguards to monitor the implementation of the system's procedures. The procedures designed and implemented by the Management and staff to ensure the reliability of financial reporting, the effectiveness and efficiency of operations and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are further reviewed by the Company's statutory auditors and any findings that, in accordance with their professional judgement, are of importance are communicated to the Audit Committee of the Company, which then informs the Board of Directors accordingly.

This information is produced in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. Every month, the Management of the Group is updated on the changes to the consolidated key financial indicators by means of relevant management reports. This monthly monitoring approach, coupled with the checking of the consolidated financial statements and the analyses performed on the latter are the key tools used in the quality and consistency control of the financial results.
With regard to the Interim and Annual consolidated Financial Statements, the Company employs an advanced software tool to consolidate the financial results and statements, as well as to generate reports for the Management as well as for investors and other interested parties. This software tool is automatically updated with data from the Group's accounting monitoring program and includes controls to ensure accurate transfer and accounting recognition of the input data. The Management Information Systems Department ensures the smooth operation of the software tool and checks the integrity and correctness of the consolidated Financial Statements and other reports, providing the Chief Finance Officer, the External Auditors and the Management of the Company with all necessary information.
The External Auditors examine the consolidated Interim and Annual Financial Reports and report to the Audit Committee on the progress and results of their audits for each reporting period. The Audit Committee is informed of the procedure and schedule for the preparation of the Financial Statements by the Group Chief Finance Officer and holds meetings with the Management / the responsible executives during the preparation of the financial reports. It obtains from the Chief Finance Officer the necessary information on the Group's performance and consolidated Financial Statements and reports to the Board of Directors accordingly. During these meetings, the Audit Committee is also informed about the management of financial risks and assesses the effectiveness of the risk management system. The Financial Statements (Individual and Consolidated) are approved by the Board of Directors, following a relevant report from the Audit Committee.
The Company recognizes the importance of promoting the Principle of Diversity in the composition of both its governing bodies and its executive and administrative staff.
The management and capitalization of the Diversity Authority constitutes a significant business organizational challenge for the Company, which, as a modern company following the completion of its transformation and in the context of its responsible operation, in the coming years it is called to face. In this respect, the Company, fulfilling its commitment, in 2017 laid the foundations, creating a specific Diversity policy with a vision and goals.
MYTILINEOS S.A. (the "Company"), committed to implementing the best Corporate Governance practices and complying with the provisions of article 2 of Law 4403/2016, aims at applying Diversity (among other basic parameters, based on gender, age, experience, skills and knowledge) in the composition of its Board of Directors, of its executive management team and of all employees directly engaged in all its activities, wherever this is feasible. To this end, the Company hereby adopts this Diversity Policy ("Policy").
The Company acknowledges that in an era in which flexibility and creativity are the keys to competitiveness, promoting diversity in its administrative, management and supervisory bodies is particularly significant for engendering its further business growth.
The Company also acknowledges that diversity at the workplace in the broader sense may boost the potential for accessing a greater range of solutions to issues of business strategy, increasing its competitive advantage.
The process of seeking and selecting candidates for Board membership or for other senior executive positions should employ merit-based and objective criteria, considering the benefits from the application of the principle of diversity, which include representation of both genders, in the said procedure.
The overriding prerequisite for appointing a Board member or other senior executive primarily is that the candidate possess the requisite qualifications and fulfils other criteria specified by the Company. Nevertheless, the process should ensure that women and men will have equal opportunities for candidature.
If the Company, through its competent bodies such as the Remuneration and Nomination Committee or the Human Resources Central Support Function, were to employ the services of third parties, such as independent consultants, to seek candidates for Board membership or for senior executive positions, explicit mention should be made that both women and men are to be proposed.
In their annual evaluation of the Board of Directors and of its Committees, the members of the Board and of the Committees should take into consideration the balance of all diversity parameters applicable to the Board, as these are mentioned in the present Policy.
Despite the fact that most of its activities are in the heavy industries sector, the Company aims to facilitate the broader possible participation of women and young people in its workforce, where feasible, always in accordance with the requirements and opportunities in each one of its Business Units.
Managing and capitalising on diversity represents a major organisational business challenge for the Company. Its is believed essential to invest in the development of managerial skills, so that senior executives can manage a potentially multicultural work environment correctly.
At the time of adoption of the present Policy, the Company has set the target that by 2020 women will represent:
The Policy is applied in selecting members of the Company's Board of Directors and is taken into account in seeking and selecting senior executives as well as personnel at all other levels of the Company's hierarchy.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is competent for revision of this Policy. The Committee may consider revisions for proposal to the Board of Directors for approval.
The Policy is posted on the Company's website (www.mytilineos.gr).
In the "Corporate Governance Statement" section of its Annual Report, the Company reports its performance against the targets set, together with the percentages – by gender and age – of the members of the Board and of the executive management team.

The Audit Committee (hereafter the "Committee") is pleased, through the present report, to inform the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on how the Committee has discharged its responsibilities during very demanding and challenging times for one more year.

The Committee has been established to assist the Board of Directors (the "Board") in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding audit procedures that ensure compliance with the legal and regulatory framework regarding:
While all members of the Board individually and collectively have a duty to act in the interests of the Company, the Committee has a particular role, acting independently from the executive Board Members, to ensure that the interests of shareholders are properly protected in relation to financial reporting and internal control and risk management systems. However, the Board has overall responsibility for the Company's approach to risk management and the system of internal controls.
The Committee reports to the Board on how it discharges its responsibilities and makes recommendations to the Board. A full list of responsibilities is provided in the Committee's terms of reference which, following the introduction of Law 4706/2020 "Corporate Governance of societes anonymes, modern capital market, implementation of the Directive (EU) 2017/828 of the European Parliament and the Council, measures on the application of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1131 and other provisions", has been revisited by also taking into account the provisions of the United Kingdom Corporate Governance Code - 2018, and of the FRC Guidance on Audit Committees 2016.

The Finance Division presented to the Committee the preliminary financial results which were published subsequently by the Company in the form of a «Flash Note», for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, as well as for the period from 01 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 respectively. The aforementioned «Flash Notes» referred to non-audited financial figures and estimates of the Management and forecasts relating to financial data or other events of the above periods. It is noted, however, that the external auditor carried out specific pre-agreed procedures on the «Flash Notes», for the purpose of issuing «Comfort Letter» to the Company's Management. In the "Comfort Letter" of the external auditors, no disagreements were expressed with regards to the data reported through the «Flash Notes». The Committee did not identify any gaps or deviations in the information and safeguards provided to it and recommended to the Board the approval of the publication of the «Flash Notes». Finally, the Committee reviewed the relevant press releases on the «Flash Notes»'.
In February 2022, the Committee was informed by the Finance Division about the Company's Financial Statements, both at company and at consolidated level, which were prepared in accordance with the IFRS for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Committee was also informed regarding the main accounting assumptions the Company adopted for preparing the Financial Statements which did not differ from those adopted by the Company in 2020, and regarding the key issues the Finance Division considered while preparing these Statements. The Committee was informed that the new or amended IFRS, that were firstly applied in 2021, did not have any significant impact to the Company.
The Committee discussed with the external auditor (Grant Thornton) and the Finance Division the key audit matters during the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31.December 2021. The Committee drafted an explanatory report for the Board of Directors and recommended that the Board approves the Financial Statements. In this report, the Committee explained to the Board how the mandatory audit contributed to the integrity of financial reporting and what the role of the Committee was in this process. In this context, the Committee evaluated and concluded that the annual financial report, along with the annual financial statements and the annual management report of the Company, reflect in a true, fair, balanced and understandable manner the evolution, performance and position of the Company, as well as of the companies included in the consolidation, and provide the required information to the shareholders. The Committee also informed the Board that the external auditors have contributed substantially to the integrity of the Financial Statements with their experience and independent assurance that the financial statements reasonably present, in all material aspects, the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31st December 2021, their financial performance and their cash flow for the year ended on that date.
The Finance Division informed the Committee on the financial results of 3rd quarter 2021 and brought to its attention the relevant draft announcement to the investors. The Committee, after receiving assurance on the correctness and accuracy of the information that will be made public, expressed its satisfaction for the Company's progress.
The Finance Division informed the Committee on the semi-annual financial results of 2021 and no gaps or deviations were identified in the assurance provided on the correctness and accuracy of the information. The Committee drafted an explanatory report on the review of the Company's halfyearly individual and consolidated financial statements to the Board.
The Finance Division informed the Committee on the financial results of 1st quarter 2021 and brought to its attention the draft relevant announcement to the investors. The Committee, after receiving assurance on the correctness and accuracy of the information that will be made public, expressed its satisfaction for the Company's progress.
The Committee has primary responsibility for the appointment of the key audit partner (external auditor). This includes negotiating the fee and scope of the audit, initiating a tender process, expressing an opinion regarding the appointment of an engagement partner and making formal recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment and removal of the external auditors.
In April 2021, the Committee, after assessing the work of Grant Thornton, which is the Company's external auditor, and taking into account, inter alia, the opinion of the Finance Division, decided to propose to the Board of Directors the reappointment of the audit firm Grant Thornton as external auditor for the fiscal year 2021.
The Committee, following dialogue between the Company and the shareholders, has agreed to schedule discussions within the year 2022, among others including the Finance Division, in order to initiate preparatory work for the conduct of a tender for the selection of a new external auditor, in the context of the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 and the relevant transitional provisions of article 52 of Law 4449/2017 regarding the specific requirements for the statutory audit of public-interest entities.
In its relationship with the external auditors, the Committee needs to ensure that they retain their independence and objectivity and are effective in performing the statutory audit. Both the Board and the external auditor have policies and procedures designed to protect the independence and objectivity of the external auditor.
The Committee considers the external auditors' annual declaration of independence and discusses with them threats, that may threaten their independence, as well as ways to ensure that these threats are addressed. The Committee examined whether the relationships, considering the views of the external auditor, of the Management and of the internal audit, as appropriate, appear to affect the auditor's independence and objectivity.
In 2021, the external auditors submitted to the Committee the declaration of their independence from the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) and the ethical requirements related to the audit of the financial statements in Greece.
The Committee has devoted a significant amount of time during its meetings in order to be informed and to discuss the process for the preparation of the annual and semi-annual Financial Statements. Main matters and activities performed were as follows:
| Matter | Activity | |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory Audit Planning |
The External Auditors presented to the Committee a report, which, inter alia, reflected the plan of communication between the external auditors and the Committee in relation to the timing of the statutory audit, of the separate and consolidated statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year 31.12.2021, the audit teams and specialists, as well as a reference to the key audit matters during the audit planning and in particular to the identified risks of the financial statements. |
|
| The Committee monitored the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31.12.2021 by the external auditors. |
||
| Audit of Annual Financial Statements – Key Audit Matters |
The external auditors commented, inter alia, on the determination of materiality and discussed with the Committee on the methodology and parameters for its determination. More specifically, the external auditors informed the Committee that for the calculation of materiality, the Earnings Before Tax has been defined as an appropriate benchmark, given that the Company is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange |
|
| In the discussions with the external auditors, particular emphasis was placed on the "Key Audit Matters" as identified by the external auditors, and how they these were treated during the audit. • Revenue Recognition: this was considered as a key audit matter, given the complexity of the volume of transactions, the use of IT systems as well as |
| management's judgements and estimates, which include a degree of uncertainty. • Assessment of whether non-current assets may be impaired: this was as a key audit matter, given the significant amounts of these assets and the use of management's assumptions and estimates for the determination of the relative recoverable amounts. • Provisions and contingent liabilities: The determination of provisions or disclosures of contingent liabilities and contingent assets which relate to litigation claims and arbitration procedures has been considered as a key audit matter as it includes significant management judgments based on legal advisors' estimations. The Committee examined and discussed in detail the above issues with the external auditors, without the presence of executives of the Company's Finance Division. |
|
|---|---|
| Report of the Audit Committee to the Board of Directors on the Financial Statements 2020 |
The Committee, following the review of the Financial Statements of the parent company and the Group for the year ended 31st December 2020 and the discussions held with the Finance Division and the external auditors, proposed their approval to the Board. |
| Tax Audit | The external auditors, in a meeting with the Committee without the presence of executives of the Company's Finance Division, informed the members of the Committee about: • the completion of the tax audit which they carried out in accordance with Article 65A para. 1 of Law 4174/2013 and POL.1124/2015, as amended in force, for the Company itself and those of its Greek subsidiaries that have been subject to the tax audit for the year 2020. • the Tax Compliance Reports issued in the context of the above tax audit and the evolution of tax audits by the authorities. |
| Review of Interim Financial Statements |
The external auditors informed, through a relevant report/ presentation, the Committee on their review of the Interim Financial Statements for the first half of 2021 carried out in accordance with ISA . The auditors referred, inter alia, to the scope and areas, as well as their procedures for the review of the Group, the |
| determination of materiality, unrecorded misstatements and the key issues of their review. |
|
|---|---|
| Additional Report to the Audit Committee for 2021 |
The External Auditors submitted and presented to the Committee their additional report, as provided by article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014 on their audit of the Company and Group Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 |
| Additional Report to the Audit Committee for 2020 |
The External Auditors submitted and presented to the Committee their additional report, as provided by article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014 on their audit of the Company and Group Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 |
The Committee monitors the external auditors' compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 537/ 2014, as in force, regarding the level of the total fees paid by the Company to them in proportion to the overall fee income of the external auditors or their overall fee income from audit services, as well as other related regulatory requirements, so that the external auditors' independence and objectivity is not impaired by the amount of work provided to the Company
The Committee is responsible for approving non-audit services to the Group entities that are not prohibited by law. The Committee considers that the external auditors have significant knowledge of the Group's business and of how accounting policies are applied. That means it is sometimes costefficient for them to provide non-audit services. There may also be confidentiality reasons that make the external auditors the preferred choice for a particular non audit assignment..
However, safeguarding the external auditors' objectivity and independence is an overriding priority. For this reason, the Committee ensures that the provision of such services does not impair the external auditors' independence or objectivity.
In the context of non-audit services, whose provision by the Statutory Auditor is not prohibited by law, the Committee should apply judgement on and assess the following:
During 2021, the Committee examined the non-audit services that were proposed to be performed by the external auditor for the Company or subsidiaries of the Group, where the Committee, after evaluating the nature of proposed services and receiving relevant clarifications, declarations and assurance from the external auditor, considered that they did not pose a threat to the external auditor's independence in accordance with the provisions of article 44 of Law 4449/2017 and article 5 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014. The relevant non-audit services concerned pre-agreed procedures (a) in relation to the preparation of the financial statements (including the Explanatory Notes), which would concern fund agreements, calculations, drafts, data collection, analysis and related processing thereof, with the note that these analysis would be based on an approved trial balance by each Management function, as well as that the adjustment entries would be subject to the approval of the each Management function of the subsidiaries, (b) in the context of supporting the respective Management function for the technical implementation of the conversion processes to IFRS, c) on the calculation of financial indicators of the Company and its subsidiaries in the context of their compliance with the requirements of loan agreements with the creditors (banks), (d) regarding the proper compilation of the company's financial statements per activity / sector, in accordance with the provisions of Law 4001/2001, (d) for the audit of the 2020 Remuneration Report of the Company, (e) on each Flash Report and Trading Update of the Company, (f) for the issuance of a comfort letter and bring down letter in the context of the issuance of bonds by the Company, negotiable in the Luxembourg Euro MFT Market, (g) for the issuance of assurance reports in the context of the examination of the implementation of the financial scope of the Company's investment plans and its subsidiaries that have been subject to the provisions of Law 4399/2016, and (h) on the financial data for the table "CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCE DATA " in the context of the Company's participation in public tenders.
Neither the work done, nor the fees payable of the assigned non audit services, compromised the independence or objectivity of our external auditors.
In monitoring the activity, role and effectiveness of the Internal Audit Division (IAD) and its audit program, the Committee had frequent meetings with the Internal Audit Director. The main matters examined through 2021 related to the following:

Sustainable Development is an integral part of the "corporate DNA" of MYTILINEOS and, therefore of its long-term business strategy. It is the driving force through which the Company aspires to remain competitive in the long term, to meet contemporary challenges and, by developing appropriate partnerships, to contribute to a new and efficient model of socially inclusive growth, as it is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Sustainable Development strategy aims at creating long-term and sustainable value for its shareholders and other Stakeholder groups, through a holistic approach that combines economic stability with social and environmental Sustainability. It is implemented on three basic levels that are inseparable from one another and is governed by specific Principles that ensure completeness (Materiality Principle), quality (Stakeholder Inclusiveness Principle) and transparency (Accountability Principle) across all its activities.
The first level focuses on the Company's commitment to adapting to and tackling climate change as well as its contribution to a new low-emissions economy. MYTILINEOS was the first Greek industrial company to set specific, measurable and ambitious targets for reducing CO2 emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, thus setting carbon footprint reduction as a priority in its new Sustainable Development strategy. In addition, the creation of new Business Units of the Company
oriented towards the dynamic development of sustainable development projects internationally (Renewables & Storage Development BU, and Sustainable Engineering Solutions BU) is predicted to play, in the coming years, a significant role in the energy transition and in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions globally, giving MYTILINEOS the opportunity to scale up its positive impact and become one of the leading companies in the global market in this area.
The second level highlights MYTILINEOS' systematic approach to the monitoring, optimal management, and disclosure of information about ESG risks and opportunities that affect its performance and its efforts to implement its strategy. The alignment of the Company with ESG criteria, that are primarily relevant to its activity, strengthens its ability to create long-term value and manage significant changes in the environment in which it operates. In this way, MYTILINEOS responds to the current sustainability requirements of investors, capital markets and financial institutions, as well as to society's expectations of commitment and transparency regarding these issues, which are becoming more intense.
The third level expresses the responsible operation of MYTILINEOS, which has been systematically cultivated over the last 13 years through the implementation of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy and the Company's commitment to the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact. For MYTILINEOS, CSR is an ongoing self-improvement and incessant learning process, while it also serves as a key mechanism for renewing its "social" license to operate and, at the same time, improves its competitiveness at national and international level.
MYTILINEOS, as a member of the United Nations Global Compact (Global Compact), has focused its strategy on the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), thus expressing its commitment to contribute, to the appropriate extent, to their implementation. The Global Goals are used as a common basis for dialogue and cooperation of MYTILINEOS with its main Social Partner groups and define the basic commitments of the Company until 2030.
The main commitments of MYTILINEOS:
In addition, these commitments define responsible business behavior in general and the management of the environment, society and governance (ESG) topics on behalf of each MYTILINEOS Business Unit and subsidiary, with the aim of strengthening their capacity to generate long-term and sustainable value.

We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of the company "MYTILINEOS S.A." (the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021, and the separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2021, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements" section of our report. During our audit, we remained independent of the Company and the Group, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as transposed in Greek legislation and the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the currently enacted law and the requirements of the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the current annual period. These matters and the related risks of material misstatements were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Group and Company's revenues arose from differentiated operating segments. Given the complexity of the volume of transactions, the use of IT systems as well as management's judgements and estimates, which include an uncertainty, revenue recognition has been considered as a key audit matter.
More specifically, Group revenues arising from electricity retailing are determined though IT systems and include judgments and computations in areas such as unbilled revenue from customers. Moreover, Group's construction revenues are determined based on their percentage of completion, as the fraction of actual cost to total estimated cost until the completion of each construction.
Group and Company's disclosures for the accounting policy, judgements and estimates used for revenues are included in Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:

explanatory notes 2.2, 2.6, 2.21 and 3.1 to the financial
As at December 31, 2021, the Group has recognized goodwill of €215 mil. (Company: €0), intangible assets of €232 mil. (Company: €87 mil.) and tangible assets of €1.429 mil. (Company: €1.048 mil.). In addition, as at December 31, 2021 the Company holds investments in subsidiaries of €347 mil. and investments in associates of €12 mil. (Group: €21 mil.).
Goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, while intangible assets with definite useful life, tangible assets and investments in subsidiaries and associates are tested for impairment whenever there are related indications.
Taking into consideration the significant amounts of the noncurrent assets mentioned above and the use of management's assumptions and estimates for the determination of the relative recoverable amounts, we consider this area as a key audit matter.
Impairment testing requires the determination of recoverable amounts based on the value in use of the assets. Value in use is derived from the discounted cash flow method, based on business plans which incorporate key management's assumptions and estimates.
Management's assumptions and estimates are mainly related to the future prices of LME, petroleum products, gas and electricity. They are also related to the estimation of future exchange rates and discount rates. Furthermore, macroeconomic environment's volatility, competition as well as regulatory developments could affect the operating performance of the Group's cash generating units.
As at December 31, 2021, an impairment amount of € 2,8 mil. has arisen for the Group (Company: €2,3 mil.) in relation to the above categories of non-current assets.
Group and Company's disclosures for the accounting policy, assumption and estimates used for the analysis of the above non-current assets are included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:

As at December 31, 2021, the Group and the Company are engaged (as defendant or claimant) in numerous and complex litigation claims and arbitration procedures in the course of their operation.
The determination of provisions or disclosures of contingent liabilities and contingent assets which relate to litigation claims and arbitration procedures has been considered as a key audit matter as it includes significant management judgments based on legal advisors' estimates. The estimates relate both to the outcome of each claim and the potential economic impact for the Group and the Company.
Group and Company's disclosures relating to provisions and contingent liabilities are included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.20, 3.18 and 3.37 to the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors' Report, as referred to the "Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section, in the Declaration of the Board of Directors Representatives but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein; we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to report in this respect.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (Art. 44, Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been

transposed in Greek Legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
Taking into consideration that management is responsible for the preparation of the Board of Directors' Report which also includes the Corporate Governance Statement, according to the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 (part B) of L. 4336/2015, we note the following:

c. Based on the knowledge we obtained during our audit about the Company "MYTILINEOS S.A." and its environment, we have not identified any material inconsistencies in the Board of Directors' Report.
Taking into account that management is responsible for preparation of the separated financial statements, which include the separated per activity statement of financial position of the Company and the Group as at December 31, 2021 and the separated per activity income statement before tax of the Company and the Group for the period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 in accordance with the provision of Law 4001/2011 and the decision No. 43/2014 of Regulatory Authority of Energy (RAE) we note that in our opinion the separated financial statements, as presented in the annex I to the notes to the financial statements of the Company and Group, have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Law 4001/2011 and the decision No. 43/2014 of RAE.
Our audit opinion on the separate and the consolidated financial statements is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee referred to in article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014.
We have not provided to the Company and its subsidiaries any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5, EU Regulation No 537/2014.
The non-audit services provided to the Company and the Group, in addition to the statutory audit, during the year ended December 31, 2021 have been disclosed in Note 3.21 to the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements.
We were appointed as statutory auditors for the first time by the General Assembly of shareholders of the Company on 25/06/2003. Our appointment has been, since then, uninterrupted renewed by the Annual General Assembly of shareholders of the Company for 19 consecutive years.
The Company has in effect Bylaws (Internal Regulation Code) in conformance with the provisions of article 14 of Law 4706/2020.
We examined the digital records of the Company, prepared in accordance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) as defined by the European Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/815, amended by the Regulation (EU) 2020/1989 (ESEF Regulation), which comprise the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, in XHTML format "213800KT8MEUJEJ2KW41-2021-12-31-el", as well as the provided XBRL file "213800KT8MEUJEJ2KW41-2021-12-31-el.zip" with the appropriate mark-up, on the aforementioned consolidated financial statements.
The digital records of the ESEF are prepared in accordance with the ESEF Regulation and the Commission Interpretative Communication 2020/C379/01 of November 10, 2020, in conformance with Law 3556/2007 and the relevant announcements of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and the Athens Stock Exchange (ESEF Regulatory Framework).
In summary, this framework includes, inter alia, the following requirements:
All annual financial reports shall be prepared in XHTML format.
For the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, financial information included in the statements of comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flows shall be marked-up with XBRL tags, in accordance with the effective ESEF Taxonomy. ESEF technical specifications, including the relevant taxonomy, are set out in the ESEF Regulatory Technical Standards.
The requirements set out in the current ESEF Regulatory Framework constitute the appropriate criteria for expressing a conclusion of reasonable assurance.

Management is responsible for the preparation and submission of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with the requirements of ESEF Regulatory Framework, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of digital records that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to design and conduct this assurance engagement in accordance with No. 214/4/11-02-2022 Decision of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Accounting and Auditing Standards Oversight Board (HAASOB) and the "Guidelines on the auditors' engagement and reasonable assurance report on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) for issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market in Greece" as issued by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Greece on 14/02/2022 (hereinafter "ESEF Guidelines"), in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the Company, prepared by the management in accordance with ESEF are in compliance, in all material respects, with the effective ESEF Regulatory Framework.
We conducted our work in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, as incorporated in Greek legislation and we have complied with the ethical requirements of independence, in accordance with Law 4449/2017 and EU Regulation 537/2014.
We conducted our work in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" and our procedures are limited to the requirements of ESEF Guidelines. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that this work will always detect a material misstatement of non-compliance with the requirements of ESEF Regulation.
Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, in XHTML format "213800KT8MEUJEJ2KW41-2021-12-31-el", as well as the provided XBRL file "213800KT8MEUJEJ2KW41-2021-12-31-el.zip" with the appropriate mark-up on the above consolidated financial statements, have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulatory Framework.

On 27 May 2021 a 14% of the Greek population (20-64 years old) are people with a disability; however, we rarely come across them at work, education, and social life. But even more alarming is that 60% of young people with disabilities in Greece, aged 25-29 years, are unemployed, recording one of the highest negative rates in Europe. A significant part of human capital remains inactive and untapped, causing harm to everyone, both individually, socially, and economically. MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the Social Enterprise knowl, has designed an innovative 6-month program, the "mellonabilities", aimed at providing personalized development of professional skills to people with disabilities (suffering from mobility, visual and auditory impairment), at zero cost for the benefited individuals. However, disability does not mean lack of ability. Modern training models and new technologies can and do allow people with disabilities to acquire specialized skills by achieving a balanced connection of their professional profile with their desired job. The aim is the targeted preparation of disabled participants for successful labor market inclusion, given additional qualifications and understand those conditions that facilitate access and inclusion into the labor market, fostering a culture (candidates, employers, HR/Training/Advisory organizations) that would help develop a sustainable employability model.
MYTILINEOS initiative joins the effort of supporting the Global Sustainable Development Goals for Zero Poverty (1), Decent work & Economic Growth (8) and Reduction of Inequality (10) by 2030. MYTILINEOS, acknowledging that boosting of employment is a key pillar of its social policy, focuses its efforts on the preparation of quality and sustainable jobs. At the same time, the #Homellon program continues for the second year. It is one more initiative by MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the Social Enterprise knowl, to reintegrate homeless people into the labor market. Note that the program's first cycle was completed in December 2020, with excellent outcomes, as most benefited individuals are now employed.
On 3 June 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A. is the first Greek company to declare its support for the "Task Force on Climaterelated Financial Disclosures" (TCFD) initiative, proving its solid commitment to ESG and specifically its goal to create a more resilient financial system and safeguarding against climate change. The TCFD initiative, chaired by Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies, provides participants with the necessary recommendations to address the financial impact of climate change on their business. The main purpose of the TCFD, is to help the investment community identify the information needed to assess the risks and opportunities associated with climate change in the context of investment decisions. At the same time, on a business level, adapting to these recommendations is not only a matter of Sustainable Development, but also a matter of funding, strategy, and better risk management. Increased disclosures in accordance with sector recommendations will help global markets make more efficient capital allocation decisions and adjust appropriately to the disruptive effects of global climate change. Implementing the TCFD recommendations provides MYTILINEOS with: • Easier and better access to capital by increasing investors' and lenders' confidence and ensuring that climate-related risks are appropriately assessed and managed, • Better ability to meet existing disclosure requirements by reporting material information in financial filings, • Increased awareness and understanding of climate-related risks and opportunities, resulting in better risk management and more informed strategic planning, and • The ability to proactively address investors' demand for climate-related information in a framework that investors are increasingly interested in and asking for. Supporters of the TCFD span the public and private sectors, including national governments, central banks, stock exchanges, credit rating agencies, financial institutions and private sector businesses from a variety of industries.

Mytilineos stated: "Today we are signing our last contract with PPC. A collaboration that sealed the recent industrial history of Greece, is completed in the most appropriate way for both PPC and MYTILINEOS. For us, after 2023, a new era begins for the historic factory of "Aluminum of Greece": a green and sustainable era, spearheading with national climate goals and the European Green Deal ". The duration of the contract was set for the period 1/7/2021 - 31/12/23.
On 9 August 2021 the unprecedented wildfires that have been raging in Greece since the beginning of August and are causing an enormous damage, require, among other things, the immediate use of as many firefighting equipment and related equipment as possible, in order to stop their catastrophic spread. From the first moment that the magnitude of the disaster became apparent, MYTILINEOS decided immediately to help in the most appropriate way. In collaboration with the Government and the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, the Company aimed to offer firefighting helicopters, which were most needed by the Fire Department. After huge efforts, the most suitable for the occasion and of higher quality BELL 214 BI helicopters of the American company Erickson Inc were located in Australia, fully equipped with flying and supporting staff consisting of more than 20 pilots, engineers and translators. These helicopters, after being approved at operational level by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, are handed over to the State of Greece, in order to contribute to the extinguish of the active fire fronts in the country. These helicopters (4 in number) are on their way to our country and will remain for 60 days from the date of their arrival, in order to avoid the risk of resurgence or new wildfires, while the cost of the helicopters (€ 3.3 million) is fully undertaken by MYTILINEOS. Experts will adjudicate whether the wildfires that engulfed the country were the result of long-term deficiencies and state problems, or an additional proof of the catastrophic effects of climate change. MYTILINEOS is the first Greek company and one of the first industries in Europe and worldwide, that set clear targets to minimize its carbon footprint, while its entire strategy is governed by the principles of sustainable development. Our commitments are being matched by deeds and every time our homeland calls us, we try to be useful, in a crucial and effective way. We also pledge to assist in any effort of rebuilding the burned areas and of reforestation of the woods. Together we will succeed! We express our deepest respect and gratitude to the firefighters, the security forces, the volunteers and all those who exceeded themselves to reduce the great disaster in the country.
On 6 September 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A.

On 29 September 2021 MYTILINEOS (RIC: MYTr.AT, Bloomberg: MYTIL.GA, ADR: MYTHY US) through its Metallurgy Business Unit, participates as coordinator in the SCALE project of the European Union. As part of the sustainable development strategy, MYTILINEOS has set waste management as priority, by participating in innovative research programs with the aim of zeroing and ultimately transforming waste into a source of useful raw materials. The SCALE project of Horizon 2020 of the European Union is such a program aimed at extracting rare earth elements, and in particular compounds of scandium and aluminium - scandium alloys from European metallurgical residues, such as bauxite residues. The program involves the National Technical University and a total of 17 partners from 8 European countries (companies such as II-VI, KBM Affilips and Less Common Metals, the Universities of Aachen, Stockholm and Basel, and others). Scandium is one of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and is on the list of critical raw materials in the European Union. The Greek bauxite processed by MYTILINEOS is proportionally 'rich' in scandium, producing correspondingly bauxite residues rich in scandium. It is also noted that the supply of Rare Earth sources is the first
priority of the newly established European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA), that MYTILINEOS also participates in. The pilot plant for extracting scandium under the SCALE project started its operation a year ago at the 'Aluminium of Greece' plant in the Metallurgy Business Unit. With the innovative method used, the concentration of scandium from bauxite residues is increased by 2.500 times. At the same time, MYTILINEOS, through its Metallurgy Business Unit, is also participating in the ReActiv program, co-ordinated by LafargeHolcim, specializing in building solutions, in collaboration with 20 partners in 12 European countries, including companies such as ALCOA, HYDRO, Rio Tinto and international academic institutions, for the recycling of bauxite residues. Through ReActiv, bauxite residues are treated in such a way that they can be converted into an active ingredient for cement production with low environmental footprint. MYTILINEOS' Metallurgy Business Unit is participating in 23 research programs, funded by the European Union through Horizon2020, ΕΙΤ Raw Materials, ΕRAMIN-2 and the NSRF, researching inter alia:
• the recovery of bauxite residues for the production of scandium, iron, alumina, cement additives and construction products.
• the production of alumina from alternative (secondary) sources.
The total funding for these 23 programs exceeds EUR 95 million, of which EUR 6.9 million is earmarked for MYTILINEOS' Metallurgy Business Unit financing. By participating in these initiatives, MYTILINEOS demonstrates its commitment to a sustainable and competitive industry, in line with European requirements and the European Green Agreement for zero emissions and economic growth decoupled from resources' use. The Company will continue to invest in environmentally friendly technologies and support innovation in the industrial sector.

On 18 November 2021 MYTILINEOS S.A. has reached financial close on the nonrecourse financing of the Corowa, Junee, and Wagga Solar Farms in New South Wales in Australia, with lenders ANZ, Societe Generale and Westpac. This 120 MWp portfolio (40 MWp each project) was acquired in 2019 as part of MYTILINEOS' strategic entry to the Australian market, one of the most demanding and competitive markets in the world, where access to "clean" energy is still in demand for many large companies. These solar parks will produce 220 GWh annually, to power Australia's electricity system, reducing 180,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
The majority of the power produced and of the Large-Scale Generated Certificates (LGCs) from the three projects are sold under a 10 year "Green" Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Coles, a major Australian food and grocery retailer with more than 2,400 stores nationwide. Despite the adversities and difficulties imposed by the covid-19 pandemic, project construction was successfully executed by MYTILINEOS' Renewables & Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit and was completed in the first half of 2021, proving the company's ability to carry out demanding projects. The financing is structured in such a way that allows money to be drawn for each project at its respective Commercial Operation Date (COD) and comprises a AUD95m term loan for the project and AUD9m for ancillary facilities. This is MYTILINEOS' first project financing in Australia, and the first project financing of solar PV projects by the MYTILINEOS' RSD Business Unit.
On 22 November 2021 MYTILINEOS, as part of its strategic commitment to tackling climate change with its ambitious CO2 emissions reduction targets set at the beginning of the year, is taking on renewed action with its commitment to the global Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi mobilizes companies to set science-based targets and boost their competitive advantage in the transition to a low-carbon economy. It is a partnership between CDP, United Nations Global Compact, World resources Institute (WRI) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) and provides independent assurance and validation of corporate targets based on current and valid climate data. The objectives of the SBT initiative enable companies to understand to which extent and how quickly they need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to prevent the most adverse impacts of climate change. In this way, companies can set a clear path towards decarbonization, contributing to tackling global warming and taking advantage of the relevant opportunities. MYTILINEOS is one of the first Greek industrial companies to commit to the SBT initiative. By joining the SBTi the Company focuses on confirming that its climate mitigation targets initiatives are aligned with the latest available scientific data and forecasts on climate change as well as the relevant European and national strategy. Already, more than 2,000 companies worldwide from all business sectors are committed to the SBT initiative, such as Iberdrola SA, Enel SpA, Lightsource bp, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, S.A., ENGIE και FLUXYS, but also AstraZeneca, Shiseido and Wendy's. MYTILINEOS aspires to deliver on its CO2 reduction targets by implementing a major portfolio of Renewable Energy Sources projects in Greece and internationally, by sourcing electricity in the Metallurgy Business Unit exclusively from renewable sources, by developing low-emissions products such as recycled aluminum, by significantly increasing the use of aluminum scrap, by using RESderived electricity in aluminum production, by using battery energy storage in construction sites, by using electric vehicles and by replacing gas-fired office heating installations with electric heat pumps. In addition, MYTILINEOS will continue to invest in the application of cutting-edge technologies and in the use of digital industrial processes in the production stages, to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, such as by digitizing the foundry at the 'Aluminum of Greece' plant in the Metallurgy Business Unit - in cooperation with General Electric - and by applying Metsol technology to reduce PFC emissions, actively contributing to a carbon neutral future by 2050. Previously, MYTILINEOS joined the supporters of the global "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures" (TCFD) initiative in June 2021, which aimed at adapting and addressing the impact of climate change on its activity.

Potential beneficiaries of the Program are executive members of the board of directors of the Company or/and key management personnel or/and higher officers of the Company or/and affiliated companies, no more than 100 persons in total. The beneficiaries need to occupy such positions on December 31st of the third year of each phase. In the event of change of role the right to participate in each distribution in the context of the Program shall be re-evaluated, while retirement of a beneficiary shall not affect the disposal. Final beneficiaries can also be identified as heirs of a person who, while alive, met the criteria for participation in the.
The aforementioned number of shares is the maximum that can be disposed and the Company is not committed to the disposal of all, as the exact number of shares to be disposed will be decided during the implementation of each phase of the Program. The Chairman & Chief Executive Officer is empowered to determine further relevant procedural matters (including without limitation, the number and identity of beneficiaries and shares, which will be awarded in total to each of the beneficiaries -except for himself- and in each individual phase, as well as future company and personal goals) as well as the individual terms of the Program, for its successful implementation in accordance with the above.
The consolidated financial statements of MYTILINEOS S.A. as of December 31st 2021 covering the entire 2021 fiscal year, have been compiled based on the historic cost principle as amended by the readjustment of specific asset and liability items into market values, the going concern principle and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their interpretations that have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB.
According to the IFRS, the preparation of the Financial Statements requires estimations during the application of the Group's accounting principles. Important admissions are presented wherever it has been judged appropriate.
The reporting currency is Euro (currency of the country of the domicile of the parent Company) and all amounts are reported in thousands unless stated otherwise.
The accounting principles and calculations based upon under the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for FY ended as at 31 December 2020 and successively applied to all the presented periods. The amendment of IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" has been applied in consolidated financial statements. The effect of the amendment is presented below.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2021.
In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments that declare deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years, to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As a consequence, the IASB also extended the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", so that the entities are required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.
In August 2020, the IASB has finalized its response to the ongoing reform of IBOR and other interest benchmarks by issuing a package of amendments to IFRS Standards. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. More specifically, the amendments relate to how a company will account for changes in the contractual cash flows of financial instruments, how it will account for a change in its hedging relationships as a result of the reform, as well as relevant information required to be disclosed. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.
In March 2021, the IASB issued amendments to the practical expedient of IFRS 16, that extend the application period by one year to cover Covid-19-related rent concessions that reduce only lease payments due on or before 30 June 2022. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.
In May 2020, the IASB issued a package of amendments which includes narrow-scope amendments to three Standards as well as the Board's Annual Improvements, which are changes that clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the Standards. More specifically:
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.
The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any (to be adapted in respect of every Group/Company). The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2022.
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying the Standard for the first time.. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. Furthermore, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer by one year the effective date of the initially issued amendment to IAS 1, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that pertain to accounting policy disclosures. The objective of these amendments is to improve accounting policy disclosures so that they provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements. More specifically, companies are required to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that they clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability. In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In December 2021, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17 to address an important issue related to temporary accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial assets in the comparative information presented when applying IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" for the first time. The amendment aims to improve the usefulness of comparative information for the users of the financial statements. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) decision on Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service under a defined benefit plan, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 "Employee Benefits".
The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee issued the final agenda decision in May 2021, under the title "Attributing Benefits to Periods of Service" (IAS 19), which includes explanatory material regarding the way of distribution of benefits in periods of service following a specific defined benefit plan proportionate to that defined in Article 8 of Law 3198/1955 regarding provision of compensation due to retirement (the "Labor Law Defined Benefit Plan").
This decision differentiates the way in which the basic principles and regulations of IAS 19 have been applied in Greece in the previous years, and therefore, according to what is defined in the "IASB Due Process Handbook (par 8.6)", entities that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS are required to amend their Accounting Policy accordingly.
Prior to the issuance of the agenda decision, the Group applied IAS 19 attributing the benefits defined under Article 8, Law 3198/1955, Law 2112/1920, and its amendment by Law 4093/2012 in the period from hiring until the employee retirement date.
The application of this final agenda decision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements has led to attributing benefits in the last 16 years until the date of employee retirement following the scale recorded in Law 4093/2012.
Based on the above, the aforementioned final decision of the Committee's agenda has been will be treated as a Change in Accounting Policy, applying the change retrospectively from the beginning of the first comparative period, in accordance with paragraphs 19-22 of IAS 8.
The following tables present the effect of implementing the final agenda decision regarding every affected specific item of the financial statements. The table does not include the items non-affected by the change in accounting policy:

Preparations of financial statements under IFRS requires the management to apply judgments, make estimates and use assumptions that affect publisized amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the financial statements preparation date and publicized amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. The actual results may differ from estimated.
Estimations are reassessed on an on-going basis and are based on both – past experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events deemed reasonable under the current conditions.
(Amounts in thousands €)
The applied accounting principles and judgments of the management, apart from those pertaining to estimates, that have the most significant effect on the amounts, recognized in the financial statements, mainly pertain to the following:
Allowances for doubtful receivables are based on historical date on recoverability of receivables and take into account the expected credit risk. The method, applied by Company, facilitates calculating the expected credit losses over the life of its receivables. The methods is used on past experience, but is adapted in order to reflect projections for the future financial condition of customers and economic environment. Balancing historical data and future financial conditions with the expected credit losses requires applying significant estimates. The amount of the allowance is recognized as an expense in other operating expenses in the income statement.
Adequate allowances are made for obsolete, useless and slow moving inventory. Impairment in net realizable value of inventory and other losses are recorded in the income statement for the period when incurred.
Estimating specific amounts, included or affecting financial statements and related disclosures required making assumptions in respect of values or circumstances that cannot be known with certainty at the time of financial statements preparation. Significant accounting estimate is defined as an estimate significant to the company's financial position and results, which requires the most difficult, subjective or complex management judgments, often arising from the need to make estimates regarding the effect of assumptions that are uncertain. The Group assesses such assumptions on an on-going basis, taking into close consideration historical data and experience, discussions with experts, current trends and other methods considered appropriate, under the effective conditions, in line with the projections as to how the change in the future.
Significant accounting estimates and judgments of the Management applied under the preparation of the current financial statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements as of December 31st 2020. The following issues are to be noted following the above and in particular, regarding the financial statements as of 31/12/2021:
The Group tests goodwill for potential impairment on annual basis and whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be effective (ex. a major adverse change in the corporate environment or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit). Determining whether an impairment is effective requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, estimated applying a discounted cash flow method. When deemed available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are applied in order to verify the results arising from discounted cash flows. When applying the particular method, the Management relies on a number of factors, including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections and market data.
Should this analysis indicates the existence of goodwill impairment, its measurement requires estimating fair value of every identified tangible or intangible asset. In this case, cash flow approach is applied, as recorded above, by independent appraisers, whenever deemed appropriate.
Other identified intangible assets with defined useful lives, subject to amortization, are tested for impairment through comparing the carrying amount to the aggregation of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment on annual basis applying a fair value method such as discounted cash flows.
The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually, in accordance with the accounting principles recorded in Note 3.4. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations, which require the use of accounting estimates.
The accounting treatment of revenues and expenses of a construction contract depends on whether the final result of the contract can be estimated reliably (and is expected to generate profit or loss for the beneficiary). When the result of a construction contract can be estimated reliably then all the respective revenues and expenses related to the contract are recognized during the term of the contract. The Group uses the percentage of completion method to determine the appropriate amount of the respective revenue and expense to be recognized in every period. The percentage of completion is calculated as the contracted cost realized over the total budgeted cost of construction for each project. Therefore, significant management estimates are required with regard to the gross result regarding the completed construction (estimated cost of execution).
The Group and the Company are subject to income tax in numerous tax jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required while determining provisions for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group and the Company recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of the extent, to which additional taxes will be imposed. When the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the initially recorded amount, such differences will affect the income tax and provisions for deferred tax in the period when the aforementioned amounts have been determined.
The Group operates in the sectors of Metallurgy, Sustainable Engineering Solutions, Electricity and Natural Gas Trading. The environmental impacts, potentially to be generated by the aforementioned activities, may cause rehabilitation costs. For the determination of environmental rehabilitation costs and the time they may occur , the Group performs the relevant analyzes and makes assessments using specialized technical and legal consultants. The Group makes a provision in its financial statements for the estimated environmental rehabilitation costs when these are considered probable.
In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Group gets involved in litigations and claim. The Management estimates that none of the resulting settlements would materially affect the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020. However, determining contingent liabilities relating to litigations and claims is a complex procedures, involving s judgments as to potential outcomes and interpretation of legislations and regulations.
On 01/01/2021, the Group decided to change the useful life of renewable energy sources (RES). Specifically, the remaining useful life of renewable energy parks was adjusted to 35 years from 30 years in which it was initially estimated. The reasons for that estimation are:
On 01/01/2021, the Group decided to change the useful life of natural gas-powered plants. Specifically, the remaining useful life of power plants was adjusted to 35 years from 30 years in which it was initially estimated. The reasons for that estimation are:
There is experience of at least 10 years from the operation of power plants. These power plants have had a good performance during these years and the maintenance cost hasn't increased. The availability of the power plants, ranges at levels above 95% while their reliability is close to 100%, because of the reliability of the manufacturers and the right maintenance, during their operation.
Following decarbonization of the energy market, the natural gas-powered plants have already started to occupy the share of the withdrawn lignite units in the market, being the main units of electricity production both at peak hours and at the hours during which the RES do not produce.
The critical role of power plants to stabilize and secure the energy system, due to the ever-increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), especially since there is no other more technically reliable and costeffective solution, combined with exceptional reliability and the high-cost construction of a new natural gas power plant, contribute to their operation for at least 35 years. The Management assessed the change in accounting estimate as realistic.
The Group changed this accounting estimate of useful life, using the provisions of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" by estimating that the rate of future benefits of fixed assets has changed and adjusting accordingly the depreciation rate to reflect the new rate. The positive effect of the change in accounting estimate for the period 01/01/2021 - 31/12/2021 amounted to 5,010 thousand and affected the tangible, intangible assets and results of the Group for the same period.
On 01/01/2021, the Group altered the useful life of the capitalized association commissions of the retail partners in the Electricity and Natural Gas Segment, which are in charge of attracting customers. Specifically, the useful life was adjusted to 3 years versus 2 years, at which it was initially estimated. The reason behind it is that nowadays, statistics show that the average customer is represented by electricity and gas supply companies in a three-year period.
Management assesses the change in accounting estimate as completely realistic. The Group changed this accounting estimate of useful life, using the provisions of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", estimating that the rate of future benefits incorporated in the specific fixed assets changed, respectively adapting the amortization rate, so that it should reflect the newly formed rate. The positive effect arising from the change in the accounting estimate for 01/01/2021-31/12/2021 stood at € 2,535 thousand and affected the intangible assets and the Group results for the reporting period.
The Company Mytilineos S.A. which resulted from the merger of its subsidiaries METKA, ALUMINUM OF GREECE, PROTERGIA and PROTERGIA THERMO AGIOS NIKOLAOS presents separately the result from discontinued operations as described below.
In 2009, applying IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations", the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A. were presented separately, regarding which a decision was made on January 26, 2009 on temporary suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in the income statement separately from continuing operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible scenarios for the alternative utilization of the aforementioned financial assets.
Consequently, since 2011, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets Held for Sale" Zinc-Lead («SOMETRA S.A.») production ceases to be an asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of its operations returned to continuing operations while at the same time, it continued to show separately the result of the discontinued operation in the income statement.
On 31/12/2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established subsidiary Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding the Zinc-Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling operation of metallurgical residues. Within the same frame, on 29/11/2016 the crossborder merger of the subsidiary REYCOM and the subsidiary company ALUMINUM OF GREECE (ATE) was completed.
(a) Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) in which the Group holds more than half of the voting rights or has the ability to direct the financial and operating principles followed.
The existence of potential voting rights that are exercisable at the time the financial statements are prepared, is taken into account in order to determine whether the parent exercises control over the subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated completely (full consolidation) using the purchase method from the date that control over them is acquired and cease to be consolidated from the date that control no longer exists.
The acquisition of a subsidiary by the Group is accounted for using the purchase method. The paragraph "2.8 Intangible Assets - Goodwill" presents the accounting treatment of goodwill. The acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets given as consideration, the shares issued and the liabilities undertaken on the date of the acquisition plus any costs directly associated with the transaction. The individual assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that are acquired during a business combination are valued during the acquisition at their fair values regardless of the participation percentage. The acquisition cost over and above the fair value of the individual assets acquired is booked as goodwill. If the total cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of the individual assets acquired, the difference is immediately transferred to the income statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized profits from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated except if the transaction provides indication of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of the subsidiaries have been amended so as to be in conformity to the ones adopted by the Group.
Transactions with minorities: For the accounting of transactions with minority, the Group applies the accounting principle based on which such transactions are handled as transactions with third parties beyond the Group. The sales towards the minority create profit and losses for the Group, which are booked in the results. The purchases by the minority create goodwill, which is the difference between the price paid and the percentage of the book value of the equity of the subsidiary acquired.
(b) Associates: Associates are companies on which the Group can exercise significant influence but not "control" and which do not fulfill the conditions to be classified as subsidiaries or joint ventures. The assumptions used by the group imply that holding a percentage between 20% and 50% of a company's voting rights suggests significant influence on the company. . Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently valued using the Equity method. At the end of each period, the cost of acquisition is increased by the Group's share in the associates' net assets change and is decreased by the dividends received from the associates.
Any goodwill arising from acquiring associates is contained in the cost of acquisition. Whether any impairment of this goodwill occurs, this impairment decreases the cost of acquisition by equal charge in the income statement of the period.
After the acquisition, the Group's share in the profits or losses of associates is recognized in the income statement, while the share of changes in reserves is recognized in Equity. The cumulated changes affect the book value of the investments in associated companies. When the Group's share in the losses of an associate is equal or larger than the carrying amount of the investment, including any other doubtful debts, the Group does not recognize any further losses, unless it has guaranteed for liabilities or made payments on behalf of the associate or those that emerge from ownership.
Unrealized profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated according to the Group's percentage ownership in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated, except if the transaction provides indications of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of the associates have been adjusted to be in conformity to the ones adopted by the Group.
(c) Investments in joint ventures: Investments in joint ventures are classified according to IFRS 11" Joint Arrangements", or "Joint Operation", or "Joint Venture". The classification is based upon each participating parties' rights and obligations arising from the joint arrangement. The Group by assessing the nature and the special characteristics of the investments, classifies, as at 31/12/2019, an investment in joint venture recognized based on the equity method.
Investments in joint ventures according to the equity method are initially recognized at cost and are then adjusted to the Group's share of profits or losses and other comprehensive income of the joint ventures. When the Group's share of losses of a joint venture is equal to or exceeds its interest in that joint venture, the Group does not recognize any further losses unless it has entered into commitments or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and joint ventures are eliminated by the Group's participation in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless there is evidence of the transaction for impairment of the asset transferred.
In the context of RSD Business Unit operations, the Group establishes or acquires entities, expected to obtain or hold licenses for photovoltaic or wind farms for the purpose of their development and resale. As far as such entities are concerned, it is established that their assets and liabilities that do not constitute "business" as defined in IFRS 3 and do not fall within the scope of this standard, Therefore, those transactions are accounted for as acquisition of assets.
The accounting treatment of such established or acquired companies is conducted through their recognition as inventory, since the Group aims to study, supply and construct power plants and further resell them at the end of their construction to buyers. In the financial statements the above companies are recognized at acquisition values or deemed cost, as determined on the basis of fair values at the date of their transition or establishment. Subsequent expenses are recognized in addition to their carrying amount if the future financial benefits are probable to flow to the Group and their cost can be measured reliably.
When their carrying amounts exceed their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment) is directly recognized as an expense in the income statement.
In the event of short-term operation of the above entities by the Group, whenever it bears the risks and benefits of their operations, their assets, liabilities, income and expenses for the period until their disposal are recognized.
MYTILINEOS Group is active in four main operating business segments: a) Metallurgy, b) Sustainable Engineering Solutions, c) International Renewables and Storage Development and d) Power & Gas. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, management generally follows the Group's service lines, which represent the main products and services provided by the Group, in identifying its operating segments. Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches.
The measurement of the items in the financial statements of the Group's companies is based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (operating currency). The consolidated financial statements are reported in euros, which is the operating currency and the reporting currency of the parent Company and all its subsidiaries.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions.
Profits and losses from foreign exchange differences that result from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency using the rate in effect at the balance sheet date are posted to the results. Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items that are valued at their fair value are considered as part of their fair value and are thus treated similarly to fair value differences.
The Group's foreign activities in foreign currency (which constitute an inseparable part of the parent's activities), are converted to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transaction, while the asset and liability items of foreign activities, including surplus value and fair value adjustments, that arise during the consolidation, are converted to euro using the exchange rates that are in effect as at the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences arising from financial assets and liabilities (intragroup loans and long-term non-commercial receivables/liabilities for which repayment is not planned or unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future) that have been identified as part of an entity's net investment in a subsidiary company operating abroad are recognised in the income statement of its individual financial statements an entity and/or a subsidiary. In the consolidated financial statements the above foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and are included in the Balance Sheet conversion reserve. When the repayment of the above financial assets and liabilities is planned or is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, the accumulated bills of exchange in the reserves are reclassified in the consolidated income statement as the financial assets cease to be part of an entity's net investment in a subsidiary company operating abroad. The same accounting treatment of reclassification is applied during the sale of the subsidiary.
Operating results and equity of all Group's companies (excluding those opening in hyperinflationary economies), that their operating currency is not the same as Group's, are translated to Group's presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities are presented and translated according to the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
(ii) Sales and expenses of the Profit and Loss statement are translated according to the average exchange rate of the balance sheet period.
(iii) Foreign exchange differences arising from the above are registered at equity account "Translation Reserve".
Fixed assets are reported in the financial statements at acquisition cost or deemed cost, as determined based on fair values as at the transition dates, less accumulated depreciations and any impairment suffered by the assets. The acquisition cost includes all the directly attributable expenses for the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying value of the tangible fixed assets or is booked as a separate fixed asset only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and their cost can be accurately and reliably measured. The repair and maintenance cost is booked in the results when such is realized.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (other than Land which are not depreciated) is calculated using the straight line method over their useful life, as follows:
| Buildings | 25-35 years |
|---|---|
| Mechanical equipment | 4-30 years |
| Vehicles | 4-10 years |

The residual values and useful economic life of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each balance sheet date. When the book value of tangible fixed assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment) is immediately booked as an expense in the income statement.
Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value are booked as profit or loss to the results. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is booked as an expense in the period they occur.
Self-constructed tangible fixed assets constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of tangible assets at a value that includes the direct cost of employee's salaries (including the relevant employer's contributions), the cost of materials used and other general costs.
The intangible assets include Goodwill, the rights of use of Property, plant and equipment, software licenses, licenses for the production, installation and operation of renewable energy assets and thermal energy assets, the environment rehabilitation expenditure.
Software Software licenses are valued in cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Costs that improve or prolong the performance of software programs beyond the original technical specifications or software conversion costs are included in the cost of acquiring intangible assets with a prerequisite that they can be measured reliably. Software licenses are valued in cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method during the assets' useful life that range from 1 to 3 years. Maintenance of software programs is recognized as an expense when the expense is incurred
Production, Installation and Operation Licenses of Renewable Energy Assets and Thermal Energy Assets: The different types of licenses entitles the group either with the right to construct an energy asset or the right to produce and sell energy. Current market conditions provide adequate evidence about the recoverable amount of such licenses.
The Group, upon acquisition, recognized these permits as intangible assets at their fair value and then measured them using the cost model, according to which the asset is measured at cost (which is the acquisition cost of the asset value as described above) less depreciation and any impairment provision. Therefore the Group has recognized licenses as intangible assets at fair value less depreciation and less any provision for impairment. Depreciation is carried out using the straight-line method over the useful life of those items, which is 30 years for gas-fired power plants and 20 years for renewable electricity. The Group runs impairment tests on a yearly basis using the following methodology:
i) Attach possibility factors according to management estimation regarding the construction of assets under license.
ii) Runs Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) methodology using assumptions prevailing at the energy market. The period regarded by the management for provisions exceeds the five years encouraged by IAS 36 as, especially for the renewable energy assets, there is satisfactory visibility for a substantially longer period.
iii) The final recoverable amount is calculated for a total portfolio of either renewable or thermal energy assets by multiplying the overall possibility factor with the outcome of the DCF valuation.
iv) Finally, the Group compares the recoverable value calculated to be the value-in-use of the assets with their carrying amounts.
When the recoverable value is less than the carrying amount an equal impairment provision is charged to the income statement.
Legal rights to explore mines: The legal rights to explore mines concern rights that the group has acquired mining mineral reserves in several geographical areas. In cost of the mining rights, apart from nominal value of the rights, any cost that relates to the initial evaluation of the rehabilitation cost of the area where work has been done, the commitment of the Group either during the acquirement of the right or as a result of its use for a certain time period. The depreciation time period that is adopted by the Group does not exceed 10 years.
Right of Use of Tangible Assets:. Rights of exploitation of tangible assets that are granted in the frames of conventions of manufacture of work (compensative profits) are valued in cost of acquisition, which equals their fair value at the date of their concession, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the "production units method".
Research and Development Expenses: Research and Development expenditures are recognized as expenses when they are realized. The expenses which arise from the developing programs (related to the design and the test of new or improved products) are capitalized if it is possible to produced future economic benefit. The other development expenditures are booked as an expense in the results when they are realized. Previous years' development expenditures recognized as expenses, can not be capitalized in the future fiscal years. The capitalized development expenses are depreciated from the beginning of the product's economic life using the straight line method during the period of the product's future economic benefits. The Group's depreciation period doesn't exceed the 5 years.
Land Stripping & Restoration expenses: Land Stripping & Restoration expenses are capitalized and amortized using the unit of production method.
Goodwill on Acquisition: is the difference between the asset's acquisition cost and fair value and the net assets of the subsidiary / associate company as at the acquisition date. During the acquisition date, the company recognizes this surplus value, emerged from acquisition, as an asset and presents it in cost. This cost is equal to the amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the company's share in the net assets of the acquired company.
After the initial recognition, the surplus value is valued at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The surplus value is not depreciated, but is reviewed on an annual basis for possible decrease in its value (impairment), if there are events that indicate such a loss according to IAS 36.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. A cash generated unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets generating cash inflows independently and represents the level used by the Group to organise and present each activities and results in its internal reporting. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount (typically the value in use) of the cash-generating units is less than their carrying amount an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December.
In the case where acquisition cost is less than the company's stake in the acquired company's net assets, the former recalculates the acquisition cost and valuates the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company. Any difference prevailing after the recalculation is recognized directly in the income statement as a profit.
Assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to an impairment review annually and when some events suggest that the book value may not be recoverable any resulting difference is charged to the period's results. Assets that are depreciated are subject to an impairment review when there is evidence that their value will not be recoverable. The recoverable value is the greater between the net sales value and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized by the company when the book value of these assets (or cash generating unit- CGU) is greater than its recoverable amount.
Net sales value is the amount received from the sale of an asset at an arm's length transaction in which participating parties have full knowledge and participate voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost for the sale of the asset, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to flow into the company from the use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life.
A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the statement of financial position of the Group when it arises or when the Group becomes part of the contractual terms of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and are subsequently measured at amortized cost at fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
Initially, the Group measures financial assets at fair value. Trade receivables (which do not contain significant financial assets) are carried at transaction price.
If a financial asset is to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through comprehensive income, it shall generate cash exclusively pertaining to capital and interest repayments of the initial capital. The business model applied by the Group for the purposes of managing financial assets refers to the way in which it manages its financial capabilities in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will arise from collecting contractual cash flows, disposal of financial assets, or both. Acquisition or disposal of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a timeframe specified by a regulation or a contract is recognized as at the transaction date, i.e. as at the date when the Group makes a commitment to acquire or to dispose of the asset.
To facilitate subsequent measurement purposes, financial assets are classified into the following categories:
a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for sale or repurchase in the near future. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading, unless they are defined as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows referring not only to capital and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: (1) the financial asset is held in order maintain financial assets for the purposes of collecting contractual cash flows; and (2) the contractual terms of the financial asset generating cash flows at specified dates only pertain to capital and interest payments on the balance of the initial capital.
Financial assets which are measured at amortized cost, subsequently apply the Effective Interest Rate Method (EIR) and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. c) Financial assets at fair value through total comprehensive income
Upon initial recognition, the Group may decide to irrevocably classify its investment participations as equity instruments designated at fair value through total comprehensive income when they meet the definition of equity and are not held for trading. Classification is determined per financial instrument. Profits and losses from these financial assets are never recycled to profits or losses. Equity instruments designated at fair value through total comprehensive income are not subject to impairment test. The Group has decided to classify its non-listed shares into this category.
A financial asset is derecognized when:
The Group recognizes provision for impairment for expected credit losses regarding all financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are based on the balance between all the payable contractual cash flows and all discounted cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
Regarding trade receivables, the Group applies simplified approach in order to calculate expected credit losses. Therefore, at every reporting date, provision for losses regarding a financial instrument is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over its lifetime without monitoring changes in credit risk.
Fair value of financial assets traded on active markets (stock exchanges) is determined by the quoted prices effective as at the balance sheet date. Fair value of financial assets not traded on active markets is determined applying valuation techniques and assumptions based on market data at the end of the reporting period.
Inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished and semi-unfinished products includes all the costs incurred to locate them at their current storage and processing point and consists of raw materials, labor, general industrial costs and packaging costs. The cost of inventories is determined by operating segment and by their nature, using acceptable measurement methods that are consistent with the financial statements preparation framework. The cost of inventories does not include financial expenses.
Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal course of the company's business less any relevant sales expenses. Provision for slow moving or depreciated stocks is made when deemed necessary.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in the bank and in hand as well as short term highly liquid investments such as money market products and bank deposits and overdrafts, as well as other high liquidity investments that are directly convertible to specific amounts of cash that are subject to a non-significant risk of change in value.
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash available include cash and balances with banks as well as cash as stated above.
The Group classifies a long-term asset or a group of assets and liabilities as held for sale if their value is expected to be recovered principally through the disposal of the items and not through their use.
The key prerequisites for the classification of a long-term asset or a group of assets (assets and liabilities) as held for sale are the asset or the group available for direct sale in their current state and the completion of the sale depends only on from normal and formal conditions for sales of such items and the sale should be highly probable.
Immediately prior to the initial classification of the asset or group of assets and liabilities as held for sale, the asset (or all of the assets and liabilities included in the group) are measured using the IFRS applicable in each case.
Long-term assets (or groups of assets and liabilities) classified as held for sale are valued (after initial classification as above) at the lower of their value in the financial statements and their fair value less direct costs disposal, and the resulting impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. Potential increase in fair value in a subsequent measurement is recognized in the income statement but not in excess of the impairment loss initially recognized.
From the date when a long-term asset (or long-term assets included in a group of assets and liabilities) is classified as held for sale, no depreciation is accounted for on such long-term assets.
Expenses incurred for the issuance of shares reduce, after deducting the relevant income tax, the proceeds from the issue. Expenses related to the issuance of shares for the purchase of companies are included in the acquisition cost of the company acquired. Where any Group company purchases the Company's equity share capital (Treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders. Treasury stock does not hold any voting rights. Own shares of subsidiaries of the Group (which do not relate to shares of the parent company) are treated in the Group as assets available for sale.
The tax for the period comprises current income tax and deferred tax, i.e. the tax charges or tax credits that are associated with economic benefits accruing in the period but have been assessed by the tax authorities in different periods. Income tax is recognized in the income statement of the period, except for the tax relating to transactions that have been booked directly to Equity. In such case the related tax is, accordingly, booked directly to Equity.
Current income taxes include the short-term liabilities or receivables from the fiscal authorities that relate to taxes payable on the taxable income of the period and any additional income taxes from previous periods (tax audit differences).
Current taxes are measured according to the tax rates and tax laws prevailing during the financial years to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to the short-term tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement.
Deferred income tax is determined according to the liability method which results from the temporary differences between the book value and the tax base of assets or liabilities. Deferred tax is not booked if it results from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, except for a business combination, which when it occurred did not affect neither the accounting nor the tax profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the period in which the asset or liability will be settled, taking into consideration the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been put into effect or are essentially in effect up until the balance sheet date. In the event where it is impossible to identify the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences, the tax rate in effect on the day after the balance sheet date is used.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there will be a future tax profit to be set against the temporary difference that creates the deferred tax asset.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences that result from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for the case where the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is possible that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Most changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement. Only changes in assets or liabilities that affect the temporary differences are recognized directly in the Equity of the Group, such as the revaluation of property value that results in the relevant change in deferred tax assets or liabilities being charged against the relevant Equity account.
Short-term employee benefits (except post-employment benefits) monetary and in kind are recognized as an expense when they accrued. Any unpaid amount is booked as a liability, while in the case where the amount paid exceeds the amount of services rendered, the company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction of future payments or to reimbursement.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group's liabilities for retirement benefits concern both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The accrued cost of defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense in the period in question. Retirement plans adopted by the Group are funded partly through payments to insurance companies or state social insurance funds.
According to the defined contributions scheme, the (legal or implied) obligation of the company is limited to the amount that it has been agreed that it will contribute to the entity (i.e. pension fund) that manages the contributions and provides the benefits. Thus the amount of benefits the employee will receive depends on the amount the company will pay (or even the employee) and from the paid investments of such contributions. The payable contribution from the company to a defined contribution scheme, is either recognized as a liability after the deduction of the paid contribution, or as an expense.
According to laws 2112/20 and 4093/2012 the Company pays to their personnel benefits for employment termination or retirement. The benefits are related to, employment years, remuneration amount and whether the employment was terminated or due to retirement. The maturity of the right to participate to these schemes, usually depends upon service years of the employee till retirement.
The liability that is reported in the balance sheet with respect to this scheme is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit less the fair value of the scheme's assets (if there are such) and the changes that arise from any actuarial profit or loss and the service cost. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary with the use of the projected unit credit method. For discounting 2019 the selected interest rate is related to the tendency of iBoxx AA Corporate Overall 10+ EUR indices, consistent to IAS19 guidelines and suitable for long term provisions that consists of bonds corresponding to the currency and the duration relative to employees' benefits.
A defined contribution scheme, defines based on several parameters such as age, service years, remuneration amount, certain obligations for defined benefits. The provisions relating to the period are included in personnel cost at company and Group P&L statements and consist of current and past employment cost, the pertinent financial cost, the actuarial gain or loss as well as any additional charges. Regarding not recognized actuarial gain or loss, amended IAS19R is adopted, that includes a series of amendments regarding accounting treatment of defined benefits scheme, amongst other:
The Group recognizes Government Grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria: a) There is reasonable certainty that the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and b) it is probable that the amount of the grant will be received. Government Grants are booked at fair value and are systematically recognized as revenues according to the principle of matching the grants with the corresponding costs that they are subsidizing.
Government Grants that relate to assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and are recognized systematically and rationally as revenues over the useful life of the fixed asset.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has present obligations (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, their settlement through an outflow of resources is probable and the exact amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed during the date when each balance sheet is compiled so that they may reflect the present value of the outflow that is expected to be required for the settlement of the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability that there will be an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits is very small. Contingent claims are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed provided that the inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Income: Income includes the fair value of goods and services sold, net of Value Added Tax, discounts and returns. Intercompany revenue within the Group is eliminated completely. The recognition of revenue is done as follows:
The expenses that refer to the contract are recognized when occur.
Revenue from construction contracts is recognized based on the stage of completion of the project on the reporting date of the Statement of Financial Position.
The completion stage is measured based on the contractual cost that has been realized up to the balance sheet date compared to the total estimated construction cost of each project. When it is likely for the total contract cost to exceed the total income, then the expected loss is directly recognized in the period's results as an expense.
For the calculation of the cost realized until the end of the period, any expenses related to future activities regarding the contract are excluded and appear as a project under construction. The total cost that was realized and the profit/loss that was recognized for each contract is compared with the progressive invoices until the end of the period.
When the realized expenses plus the net profit (less the losses) that have been recognized, exceed the progressive invoices, the difference appears as a receivable from construction contract customers in the account "Customers and other receivables". When the progressive invoices exceed the realized expenses plus the net profit (less the losses) that have been recognized, the balance appears as a liability towards construction contract customers in the account "Suppliers and other liabilities".
In cases where initial estimates may change, revenue, costs and / or completion rates are revised. These revisions may lead to increases or decreases in estimated earnings or costs and are presented in the results of the period in which the reasons for the revision are disclosed by the Management.
- Sale of goods: Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of the Group's operations, net of discounts, VAT and other taxes related to sales. The Group recognizes in the income statement the sale of the goods at the moment when the benefits and risks associated with the ownership of those goods are transferred to the client.
- Provision of services: Income from the provision of services is accounted for in the period during which the services are rendered, based on the stage of completion of the service in relation to the total services to be rendered.
Revenue from electricity generation: Electricity sales are recognized on the date when the relevant risks are transferred to the buyer, namely, according to the monthly electricity production provided to the Greek network and confirmed by the Energy Exchange Group and DAPEEP (ex LAGIE) (Operators of the Electricity Market) and ADMIE (Independent Power Transmission Operator). Revenue also includes ancillary services received from ADMIE.
Revenue from cross-border trade: Revenues from the sale of electricity to the domestic and foreign markets are based on the monthly measurements of the System Operators, Energy Exchange Group (ex LAGIE) (Greece) and the managers of other countries, which are announced to the Group. These monthly measurements include the total of imported and exported quantities sold to domestic and foreign markets. For these quantities sold, the Group issues the corresponding invoices every month.
Revenue from retail electricity sales: Revenues from electricity sales in the retail market are recognized during the period in which electricity is provided to customers and is measured on a monthly basis, according to the ADMIE and HEDNO measurements for medium voltage customers and with estimates based on the historical consumption that HELLENIC ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OPERATOR S.A. (HEDNO) announces for low voltage customers. Based on these measurements provided by ADMIE and HEDNO projections containing unit consumption and in conjunction with the contractual terms, each customer receives a monthly bill per meter. For low-voltage customers, the bills are up to HEDNO to send the actual consumption of the period, and then a clearing account is issued.
Income Interest: Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate. When there is impairment of assets, their book value is reduced to their recoverable amount which is the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using the initial real interest rate. Interest is then booked using the same interest rate calculated on the impaired (new book) value.
Dividends: Dividends are accounted for as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.
Expenses: Expenses are recognized in the results on an accrued basis. The payments made for operating leases are transferred to the results as an expense, during the time the lease is used. Interest expenses are recognized on an accrued basis.
Group company as Lessee: Leases are recognized in the statement of financial position as a right to use an asset and a lease obligation, the date on which the leased fixed asset becomes available for use. Each rent is divided between the rental obligation and interest, which is charged to the results throughout the lease, in order to obtain a fixed interest rate for the remainder of the financial liability in each period.
The rights to use assets are initially measured at their cost, and then reduced by the amount of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The right to use is depreciated in the shortest period between the useful life of the component or its duration, with the fixed method. The initial measurement of the rights of use of assets consists of:
Finally, they are adjusted to specific recalculations of the corresponding lease liability.
Lease liabilities are initially calculated at the present value of rents, which were not paid at the start of the lease. Discounted at the imputed rate of the lease or, if this interest rate cannot be determined by the contract, with the differential lending rate. (IBR). The differential lending rate is the cost that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary capital in order to obtain an item of similar value with the leased asset, in a similar economic environment and with similar terms and assumptions.
Lease liabilities include net present value of:
After their initial measurement, the lease obligations are increased by their financial cost and are reduced by the payment of rents. Finally, they are reassessed when there is a change: a) to rents due to a change of index, b) to the estimation of the amount of residual value, which is expected to be paid, or c) to the assessment of a choice of purchase or extension, which is relatively Certain that it will be exercised or a right of termination of the contract, which is relatively certain that it will not be practiced.
The group and the company during the transition made use of the following practical facilities provided by IFRS 16 for leases classified as functional, in accordance with IAS 17.
Use of previously made assessments under applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 to determine whether a contract contains a lease, or whether a contract is a lease on the date of initial application.
Use of accounting treatment of operating leases for leases with a maturity of under 12 months from 1 January 2019.
Use of a single discount rate on a lease portfolio with similar characteristics.
Excluding initial direct costs for measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
Group Company as lessor: When tangible assets are leased by leasing, the present value of rents is registered as a requirement. The difference between the gross amount of the claim and the present value of the claim is recorded as deferred financial income. The revenue from the lease is recognized in the usage results during the lease using the net investment method, which represents a constant periodic return. The group and the company do not contract with the status of lessor.
The distribution of dividends to the shareholders of the parent company is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements at the date on which the distribution is approved by the General Meeting of the shareholders.
Pro forma figures (EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net debt) are not defined by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Thus, these figures are calculated and presented by the Group in a way that provides a more fair view of the financial performance of its Business Sectors. The Group defines "Group EBITDA" as the Operating earnings before any interest income and expenses, investment results, depreciation, amortization and before the effects of any special factors. "Group EBITDA" is an important indicator used by Mytilineos Group to manage the Group's operating activities and to measure the performance of the individual segments.
The special factors that affect the Group's net profit / (losses) and EBITDA are the following:
a) the share in the EBITDA of associates when these are active in one of the Group's reported Business Sectors and.
b) the effects of eliminations of any profit or loss from asset construction transactions of the Group with the associates.
It is noted that the Group financial statements, prepared according to IAS 1 and IAS 28, include the Group's profit realized in connection with the construction of fixed assets on account of subsidiaries and associates, when these are active in one of its reported Business Segments. Such profits are deducted from the Group's equity and fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as depreciation is charged. Consequently, for the calculation of EBITDA (operational results before depreciation), the Group does not eliminate the profit from the construction of fixed assets as its recovery through their use will effect only the profit after depreciation.
The Group states that the calculation of "Group EBITDA" may differ from the calculation method used by other companies/groups. However, "Group EBITDA" is calculated with consistency in each financial reporting period and any other financial analysis presented by the Group. Specifically financial results contain interest income/expense, while investment results contain gains/loss of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, share of results in associates companies and gains/losses from the disposal of financial assets (such as subsidiaries and associates).
CO2 emissions are recognized according to the net liability approach through which, the Group recognizes liabilities from CO2 emissions when the actual emissions exceed the distributed emission rights from E.U. The liability is measured at fair value to the extent that the Group has the obligation of covering the deficit through the market. Emission rights acquired over the required quantities for covering the deficit are recognized as intangible assets at cost.
The Group uses Derivative financial instruments such as Commodity Futures and Currency Forwards in order to mitigate the risk related to its business activities along with the risk related to the funding of such activities.
At inception of the hedging transaction, the Group validates the hedging relationship between the underlying and the hedging instrument as far as its risk management strategy is concerned. The Group also verifies the hedging efficiency from the beginning of the hedging relationship and on a continuing basis.
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value as at the date of settlement and are valued on a mark to - market basis on each balance sheet date. The result of this valuation is recognized as an asset when positive and as a liability when negative.
When a derivative financial instrument is no longer regarded as hedging instrument any difference in its fair value is recognized in profit and loss.
Fair value hedging is regarded when hedging the exposure in the fluctuations of the fair value of a recognized asset, liability, contingent liability or part of them that could have a negative impact on results.
When hedging accounting, concerning fair value hedge, is followed then any profit or loss from revaluation is recognized in profit and loss. For non-derivative hedging instruments used to hedge foreign currency risk, only the foreign currency item in its book value will be recognized in profit or loss - the entire instrument needs to be re-measured. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk should be recognized directly in the income statement to offset the change in the carrying amount of the hedging instrument. This applies to items recognized at cost and available-for-sale financial assets. Any compensation ineffectiveness is recognized directly in the income statement.
296 The Group enters into Cash Flow Hedging transactions in order to cover the risks that cause fluctuations in its cash flows and arise either from an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction and the change will affect the results. Examples of Group cash flow hedges include future foreign currency transactions subject to exchange rate changes as well as future sales of aluminum subject to changes in selling prices. Changes in the carrying amount of the effective part of the hedging instrument are recognized in Equity as "Reserve" while the ineffective portion is recognized in the Income Statement. The amounts accrued in equity are transferred to the income statement in the periods in which the hedged items are recognized in the income statement as in a prospective sale. When a hedging instrument has expired, sold, settled or does not qualify for hedging accounting all accumulated profit or loss recognized in Equity, stays in Equity until the final settlement of the
underlying. If the underlying is not expected to be settled then any profit or loss recognized in Equity is transferred to profit and loss account.
Hedging of a foreign investment is regarded for accounting purposes in a way similar to cash flow hedging.
The effective part of the hedging result is recognized directly in Equity while any ineffective part is recognized in profit and loss. Accumulated profit or loss recognized in Equity is transferred in profit and loss account at the time of disposal of the investment.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent with the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each accounting period, excluding the average of ordinary shares acquired as treasury shares.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the accounting period and for all the periods presented is adjusted for events that have altered the number of ordinary shares in circulation without a corresponding change in resources.
The Company has implemented share-based payments for its employees and executives. In particular, under the effective agreements, the Company's employees and executives are granted the option to receive equity securities (shares) of the parent company, given that certain conditions of vesting have been met. None of the existing equity-based payment agreement plans are settled in cash.
Services received in return for equity-based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of executives and employees, at the date when the stock option is granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 as an expense in the income statement, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services, for which the options are granted, are received.
Total expenses of the options during the vesting period are calculated based on the fair value of the options provided at the granting date. The expenses are allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to be vested. The fair value of the options is measured by adopting an appropriate valuation model to reflect the number of options for which the performance conditions of the plan are expected to be met.
Estimates of the number of option's expected to be exercised are revised if there is an indication that the number of stock options, expected to be vested, differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to the cumulative share-based compensation arising from the revision is recognized within the current period.
The number of vested options, finally exercised by the company's employees and executives does not affect the expenses recorded within the period.
MYTILINEOS Group is active in four main operating business segments: a) Metallurgy, b) Sustainable Engineering Solutions, c) International Renewables and Storage Development and d) Power & Gas. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, management generally follows the Group's service lines, which represent the main products and services provided by the Group, in identifying its operating segments. Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches.
The Group's service lines that do not fulfil the quantitative and qualitative thresholds of IFRS 8, in order to be considered as separate segments, are presented cumulatively under the category "Others". The Group has applied IFRS 5 "Non-Current Assets Available for Sale & Discontinued Operations" and present separately the results of the discontinued operations of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A.

The Group performs annually impairment tests for goodwill.
The recoverable amount of the recognized goodwill, related with the separate CGU's, was assessed using value in use and calculated using the DCF method. The "value in use" was determined based on management's assumptions, which management deems reasonable and are based on estimates from international rating agencies on Financial Statement's issue date. No need for impairment arose from impairment tests.
The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined according to the calculation of the value in use. The calculations for the CGU's recoverable amount were based on the present value of the expected future cash flows. The basic estimates the Group uses to determine the value in use divide in:
Calculations to determine the recoverable amount of operating segments were based on business plans approved by the Management, which included the necessary revisions to capture the current economic situation and reflect past experience, sectoral projections and other available information from external sources.
The WACC method reflects the discount rate of future cash flows for each CGU, according to which the cost of equity and the cost of long-term debt and any grants are weighted, in order to calculate the cost of capital of the company. Since all cash flows of the business plans are denominated in euro, the yield of ten-year German government bond was used as the risk-free rate. Assumptions of independent sources were taken into account for the calculation of the risk premium.
Betas are evaluated annually based on published market data. The Company's WACC was estimated at 3.80%.
Apart from the above considerations concerning the determination of the value in use of CGUs, no other changes that may affect the rest of the assumptions have come to the Management's attention.
The Group analyzed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts per CGU through change in a percentage point of 0.5% in the discount rate. From the relevant analysis there is no amount of impairment.

All derivatives open positions have been marked to market. Fair values of the "interest rate swaps", are confirmed by the financial institutions that the Group has as counterparties.
The Group manages the exposure to currency risk through the use of currency forwards and options and thus by "locking" at exchange rates that provide sufficient cash flows and profit margins. Furthermore, the Group manages the exposure to commodity risk through the use of: a) commodity futures that hedge the risk from the change at fair value of commodities and b) commodity swaps that hedge fluctuations in cash flows from the volatility in aluminum prices.

During 2021, the Group paid dividends of € 52 mio to its equity shareholders.
Also during 2021, the directors proposed the payment of a dividend of € 0.4200 per share. As the distribution of dividends requires approval at the shareholders' meeting, no liability in this respect is recognised in the 2021 consolidated financial statements. No income tax consequences are expected to arise as a result of this transaction at the level of Illustrative Corporation.

The Group, since 2009, applies IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations", and presents separately the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A., following the suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in the income statement separately from continuing operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible scenarios for the alternative utilization of the aforementioned financial assets.
From 2011 and on, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets Held for Sale", the Zinc-Lead production ceases to be an asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of the disposal group to be abandoned are presented within the continuing operations while the results as discontinued operations.
In December 2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established subsidiary Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding the Zinc-Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling operation of metallurgical residues.
Following the analysis of the profit and loss of the discontinued operations:

MYTILINEOS international activities are affected by multiple risks, which the Company monitors and manages through its Risk Management Framework. The purpose of the Risk Management Framework is to reduce any uncertainty to achieving the Company's strategy, to limit the impact of threats to objectives and to maximize benefits from the opportunities that may arise.
The Company has designed and implements a Risk Management Framework, which is based on international best practices and is tailored to the needs of MYTILINEOS. It also promotes a unified culture that integrates risk management into processes, activities, and decision-making at all levels of the organization.
The Enterprise Risk Management Department provides independent oversight in the implementation and effectiveness of the Risk Management Framework and applies an integrated approach to the analysis of current and emerging risks in order to draw conclusions and information that will contribute to the effective management of risks.
The Company's Management is responsible for the implementation of the Risk Management Framework in the day to day operations of the organization. Specifically, the Management is responsible for the systematic identification and evaluation of the risks that affect the business operations and in addition, supervises the development and timely implementation of the risk management plans. It regularly evaluates the effectiveness of the management plans and the need to adjust them in order to achieve optimal risk management.
The Group develops activity at international level and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk that arises mainly from the US dollar. Such risk primarily stems from commercial transactions in foreign currency as well as from net investments in foreign financial entities.
For the management of such risk, the Group's Financial Management Department establishes financial derivative and non-derivative instruments with financial organizations for the account and in the name of the Group's companies.
At the Group level, such financial instruments are considered to constitute compensation means for the exchange rate risk of specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions
Goods prices that are mainly determined by international markets and global offer and demand result in the Group's exposure to the relevant prices fluctuation risk.
Goods' prices are connected both to variables that determine revenues (e.g. metal prices at LME) and to the cost (e.g. natural gas prices) of the Group's companies. Due to its activity, the Group is exposed to price fluctuation of aluminium (AL), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) as well as to price fluctuation of natural gas, as production cost.
As regards price fluctuation of metals, the Group's policy is to minimize risk by using financial derivative instruments.
The Group's assets that are exposed to interest rate fluctuation primarily concern cash and cash equivalents.
The Group's policy as regards financial assets is to invest its cash in floated interest rates so as to maintain the necessary liquidity while achieving satisfactory return for its shareholders.
In addition, for the totality of its bank borrowing, the Group uses floating interest rate instruments. Depending on the level of liabilities in floating interest rate, the Group proceeds to the assessment of interest rate risk and when necessary examines the necessity to use interest bearing financial derivative instruments. The Group's policy consists in minimizing its exposure to interest bearing cash flow risk as regards longterm funding.

The Group's exposure in price risk and therefore sensitivity may vary according to the transaction volume and the price level. The aforementioned analysis reflects the nominal exposure to the above factors and does not include any effect from the use of contracts/forwards through which the Group hedges risk.
During 2020, MYTILINEOS took timely and effective measures to manage the COVID-19 pandemic effects, prioritizing the safety and protection of its people. The Company responded with immediacy, flexibility, and decisively transitioned successfully to remote working, thus ensuring the smooth continuation of operations in all areas of its business activities and minimizing the financial impact of the pandemic.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic is not expected to end anytime soon, because vaccination goals are not being met, while virus mutations may alter virus transmissibility and vaccine efficacy. Consequently, this particular risk remains on the list of MYTILINEOS' principal risks.
MYTILINEOS promptly recognized the potential risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and immediately set up a special management team, which reports directly to the top Management and has undertaken the coordination and strategic response.
Business continuity plans were formulated and implemented for all the critical operations of the Company which indicatively include:
The Company continues to successfully implement remote working, ensuring the smooth continuation of work in all sectors of its business activities, while regular disinfections are carried out at the facilities depending on their criticality and risk exposure.
The COVID-19 Management Team regularly evaluates the effectiveness of these measures, to ensure that they meet their objectives and that they comply with the relevant measures imposed by the authorities.
The risk management policy is applied by the Corporate Treasury Department. The latter acts as a service center, operating under specific Management-approved lines.
Credit risk originates from available cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits at banks and financial institutions, as well as from exposure to client derived credit risk.
Regarding commercial and other claims, the Group is not theoretically exposed to significant credit risks; as of the multifaceted nature of the Group's activities, there is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its commercial requirements, as this is allocated over a high number of clients. However, the atypical conditions that dominate the Greek market and several other markets in Europe are forcing the Group to constantly monitor its business claims and also to adopt policies and practices to ensure that such claims are collected. By way of example, such policies and practices include insuring credits where possible; pre-collection of the value of product sold to a considerable degree; safeguarding claims by collateral loans on customer reserves; and receiving letters of guarantee.
To minimize credit risk on cash reserves and cash equivalents; in financial derivate contracts; as well as other short term financial products, the Group specifies certain limits to its exposure on each individual financial institution and only engages in transactions with creditworthy financial institutions of high credit rating.

Liquidity risk is related with the Group's need for the sufficient financing of its operations and development. The relevant liquidity requirements are the subject of management through the meticulous monitoring of debts of long term financial liabilities and also of payments made on a daily basis.
The Group ensures that there is sufficient available credit facilities to be able to cover its short-term business needs, after the calculation of cash flows arising from the operation as well as cash and cash equivalents which are held. The funds for long-term liquidity needs ensured by a sufficient amount of loanable funds and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

It must be noted that the above table does not include liabilities to clients from the performance of construction projects, as the maturity of such values cannot be assessed. Moreover, cash-advances from customers, construction contacts liabilities as well as the provisions and accrued expenses are not included.
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.
The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy for 31/12/2021 and 31/12/2020 as follows:

The employee and pension benefits are analyzed as follows:
The Company has implemented share-based payments for its employees and executives. In particular, under the effective agreements, the Company's employees and executives are granted the option to receive equity securities (shares) of the parent company, given that certain conditions of vesting have been met. None of the existing equitybased payment agreement plans are settled in cash.
Services received in return for equity-based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of executives and employees, at the date when the stock option is granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 as an expense in the income statement, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services, for which the options are granted, are received.
Total expenses of the options during the vesting period are calculated based on the fair value of the options provided at the granting date. The expenses are allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to be vested. The fair value of the options is measured by adopting an appropriate valuation model to reflect the number of options for which the performance conditions of the plan are expected to be met.
Estimates of the number of option's expected to be exercised are revised if there is an indication that the number of stock options, expected to be vested, differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to the cumulative share-based compensation arising from the revision is recognized within the current period.
The number of vested options, finally exercised by the company's employees and executives does not affect the expenses recorded within the period.
No loans have been given to members of the Board of Directors or other management members of the Group (and their families).

| st January 31η December From the 1 to the 2021 |
According to the informatory notes sent by the societe anonyme named Renewable Energy Sources Operator and Guarantees of Origin (DAPEEP SA) on 01.02.2019 to the Company, an extraordinary contribution was imposed upon the total income of electricity quantities injected to the transmission system from the High-Efficiency Cogeneration of Heat and Power (CHP) plant of the of Metallurgy Business Unit.
From the interpretation of the relevant law provision (article 157 of law 4579/2020), taking also into consideration the parliament's explanatory memorandum, results, that legally, regulatory and economically- technically, it is correct and reasonable to calculate this extraordinary contribution exclusively on the part of the income (turnover) of the dispatched electricity quantities from τηε CHP plant which is paid by DAPEEP and concerns the special account for renewable energy sources (ELAPE), and not for the part of the generated electricity, which relates to the wholesale electricity market and is invoiced to the societe anonyme Hellenic Energy Exchange SA (HEnEx). The amount disputed by the Company amounts to 2.3 million Euro.
The Company filed an appeal before the administrative courts against the Greek State and DAPEEP for the annulment of the informatory note for the extraordinary contribution of article 157 of law 4759/2020. In addition, the Company intends refer also to Greek civil courts in order to obtain a judiciary acknowledgement that DAPEEP, contrary to contract and the law, charged the Company with the said contribution on the total income from the production of the CHP plant. The positive outcome of the above cases is contemplated by the Company.
Since 2017, the Company has been in dispute with IMERIS Bauxites (hereinafter IB) before the Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC), following a Company's complaint for abuse of a dominant position. The procedure before the Commission was completed in June 2021, the final memoranda will be submitted on 11.08.2021 and the decision is expected to be issued within 2021. At the same time, a new complaint was filed by the Company in April 2021, the examination of which is pending.
The commercial relationship between the two companies is regulated since 2017 until the end of 2019, by temporary agreements dictated by interventions and a decision on precautionary measures of the HCC. For the years 2020 and 2021 IB has been invoicing the Company without an agreement with the latter, and the Company disputes the above invoicing, as it considers that it does not correspond to a reasonable and worthy price for the supply of such metallurgical bauxite. Consequently, the Company registers in its books and pays for the delivered quantities at the Interim financial report for the period 1st January to 30th June 2021 93 price agreed under the latest contract, which coincides with that of a decision of precautionary measures issued in the past by the HCC.
In May 2021, the Company filed an application for interim measures before the civil courts, accompanied by a request for an interim injunction, which (interim injunction) was granted and temporarily orders IB to monthly supply of the Company as a priority with a monthly quantity of 45,000 MT for standard quality bauxite, i.e. at the price at which the Company pays the delivered quantities, according to the aforementioned. IB filed an application for revocation of the interim injunction, which was rejected. The hearing for the above application for interim measures of the Company has been set for 20.09.2021 and the issuance of a decision is expected. Finally, IB, on 08.07.2021, ie after the issuance of the temporary injunction temporarily ordering ΙΒ to provide the Company per month with a quantity of 45,000 MT for standard quality bauxite at the price at which the Company repays the delivered quantities according to the above, filed a lawsuit before civil courts claiming the amount of 5,073,424 euro plus interest, for the difference between invoiced and amounts actually paid according to the aforementioned for the period 2020-May 2021.
The Company filed before the Council of State: (a) petition for annulment of RAE's decision no. 80/2016 entitled "Management of condensate heat during the calculation of cogeneration efficiency for the Approval of Special Operating Conditions of CHP plant"; and (b) petition for annulment of RAE's decision no 410/2016 entitled "Amendment of RAE's decision no. 1599/201, with which it was approved the Issue "Cash Specifications and Size Measurements at the request of the ministerial decision no Δ6 / Φ1 / οικ.8786 / 06.05.2010 for the implementation of the System of Guarantees of Origin of the Electricity from RES and High Efficiency CHP and its Ensuring Mechanism".
The Company also filed before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal a petition for annulment of RAE's decision no. 334/2017 entitled "On the application of the societe anonyme ALUMINUM OF GREECE BEAE and the distinctive title "ΑΤΕ" for the revision of RAE's decision no. 569/2016"; (b) of RAE's decision no. 569/2016 entitled "Efficiency Control and Determination of Special Operating Conditions of the Distributed HE-CHP unit of the societe anonyme ALUMINUM OF GREECE BEAE (SA)".
From the combination of the above decisions, the cogeneration efficiency of the CHP plant of the Metallurgy Business Unit is negatively affected, as they change the calculation method for the amount of high efficiency electricity, including by subtracting the thermal energy contained in returnable concentrate, when calculating the total efficiency of the unit, resulting in a reduction in unit revenue.
The decisions of the Council of State were issued, according to which the Company's petitions for annulment have been rejected. However, due to the reasoning of the Council of State decisions, the positive outcome of its petition for annulment before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal is contemplated by the Company.
In May 2020 the Consortium consisting of the companies "General Electric International Inc." and "Mytilineos S.A." (formerly METKA SA), in its capacity as EPC Contractor of the project "HASSI R'MEL I - Construction and commissioning of a power plant with a total capacity of 368,152 MW in Algeria", (hereinafter "the Project") referred to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against the company and the owner of the project under the name "Société Algérienne de Production de l'Electricité" (SAPE), for claims due to delays of the Project, which fall within the sphere of responsibility of the project owner. The Company will recognize in its results the amount that may be awarded to it at the time of the positive outcome of this arbitration procedure. Respectively, the project owner has raised, in the context of his response to the request for arbitration, counterclaims. According to the assessment of the legal advisors of the Company the aforementioned counterclaims of the project owner are unlikely to succeed.
There are other potential third party claims of € 1.97 Mio against the Company for which no provision has been made. According to IAS 37.14: A provision shall be recognised when: (a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised. No provision has been made for this matter, since according to the relevant opinions of the Company's legal advisers and the management of the Company: (a) the existence of a commitment has not yet been finalized; and (b) there is no probability that there will be an outflow of financial resources. Moreover, there are claims of the Company against third parties, which totally amount to €0.28 mio.
Out of the above mentioned parent company guarantees in note 3.30 and 3.36, there are guarantees amount of 761,2 mio Group guarantees and 715,4 mio parent company guarantees on behalf of customers and suppliers.

The Company also operates in non-electrical industries, for example through "Metallurgy and Mining" and "EPC and Infrastructure" sectors.
At the end of the financial year, the Company publishes according to the IFRS its separate profit and loss statements and balance sheet per electrical energy business area (Balance Sheet and Income Statement before tax), in accordance with the relevant provisions of Law 2190/1920, as amended by the law 4548/2018, as well as by the laws 3229/2004 and 3301/2004 (as amended and in force based on the IFRS. Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities relating to non-electricity sectors are allocated to the Separate Consolidated Balance Sheet and Income Statement in the "Other Operations" category.
The aforementioned statements are included in the Notes to the Company's annual financial statements, which are approved and contain a certificate issued by Chartered Accountants. The certificate makes reference in the regulations approved by the RAE, in accordance with Article 141, paragraph 4 and Article 89, paragraph 5 of Law 4001/2011. It is mentioned, that the Company did not reform the comparative separate financial statements of the previous year.
The methods and accounting rules followed by the Company are dictated by the general accounting principles and the articles of the International Accounting Standards (IFRS), which must be mandatorily kept.
The Accounting Department of the Company is fully computerized with a valid and properly configured accounting plan and software (SAP), which ensure that separate accounts are maintained and that separate profit and loss statements and balance sheet are prepared for each activity.

(a) Business Areas / Activities
(b) Business Areas apart from electricity and natural gas
• Other Activities
During every document or transaction entry, as well as any other record pertaining to electricity and natural gas industries, the amounts are classified per business area. Subsequently, the corresponding accounts referring to expenses, revenues, assets and liabilities are automatically updated. The software has a security key on the basis of which, no registration is allowed without the above classification.
This way, documents and transaction entries that concern only one of the Company's business areas or indicate a discrete amount per business area, update the separate accounts of every Business Area (a) directly. The rest of the documents and transactions are allocated to each business area, with the use of a defined allocation key.
Thereafter, the Company prepares the annual profit and loss statements of each financial year per business area.
The entries updating the Assets and Liabilities Accounts, such as fixed assets, reserves, customers, other receivables, suppliers, liabilities and loans are allocated based on the business area to which they relate.
At the end of each financial year, the total Equity is allocated based on the difference between Assets and Liabilities of each business area, which is designated as "capital allocation to business units".
The annual separate Profit and Loss Accounts for each activity include the Company's transactions with third parties. Specifically, each business area includes the following:
This business area includes Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities, which are derived solely from the business area of power plants.
