Resolution 2.2.
The General Meeting has granted approval of the performance of duties by the Management Board in the financial year 2018.
Resolution 2.3.
The General Meeting has granted approval of the performance of duties by the Supervisory Board in the financial year 2018.
Pursuant to Article 294 of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), at the same time as deciding on the use of the profit for appropriation, the General Meeting shall also decide on the granting of approval of the performance of duties by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board members. According to the above-mentioned Act, the debate on the granting of approval shall be linked to the debate on the use of the profit for appropriation. Therefore, the Management Board shall submit to the General Meeting the Annual Report and the report of the Supervisory Board on the results of verification of the Annual Report.
Further, the above-mentioned Article of the Companies Act stipulates that at the General Meeting deciding on the use of the profit for appropriation, the Management Board shall inform the shareholders of the remuneration received by the management and supervisory bodies for their work in the company and subsidiary companies in the previous financial year. This information is disclosed in the Annual Report.


Taking into account the above-mentioned, the General Meeting will discuss and present, in the scope of the same agenda item and before discussing and deciding on the use of the profit for appropriation and on the granting of approval, the Annual Report for 2018 and the Supervisory Board's report on their approval of the Annual Report for 2018. The Management Board will also inform the General Meeting on the remuneration received by the members of the management and supervisory bodies for their work in the company in the financial year 2018. As the abovementioned subjects are related, it is reasonable to discuss them at the same time.
The Resolution Proposal regarding the use of the profit for appropriation and dividend payments is based on the achieved results, the company's development plan, as well as on the Supervisory Board's and Management Board's assessment on the appropriateness of such use.

In the company's Financial Calendar, the date of 12 August is marked each year as the dividend payout day (unless it falls on a bank holiday). This year, the dividend payout day is 9" August 2019. The deadline for payment of dividends is longer than in the case of the majority of shareholder companies listed in the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (prime market shares), but notwithstanding this, the Company is among the first to pay out dividends because it is usually among the first to hold its annual general meetings.
By the Resolution Proposal regarding the granting of approval, it is proposed to the General Meeting to confirm and approve the work of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board in the financial year 2018. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Code for Joint Stock Companies, this proposal shall be voted on separately for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
In the period from 1st January 2018 to 31d December 2018, the company was managed by the Management Board consisting of the following members: Tomaž Berločnik - President of the Management Board, Rok Vodnik - Member of the Management Board, Igor Stebernak - Member of the Management Board and Ika Krevzel Panić - Member of the Management Board/ Worker Director.

Changes Relating to the Remuneration for Members of the Supervisory Board and Members of the Supervisory Board's Committees
In return for their work, the General Meeting entitles the members of the Supervisory Board to receive the following remunerations:
The members of the Supervisory Board Committee shall be entitled to receive an additional amount for performing their duties; each member of the Committee shall receive 25% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board. The Chairman of the Committee shall be entitled to receive an additional amount of 37.5% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board. In each financial year, a member of the Supervisory Board Committee shall be entitled to receive,


notwithstanding the foregoing and the number of committees of which he/she is a member or president, the total amount of additional fees not exceeding 50% of the basic remuneration amount paid on an annual basis for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board. If the term of office of a particular member of the Supervisory Board is shorter than the financial year period, this member shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding the foregoing and the number of committees of which he/she is a member or president, the total amount of additional payments not exceeding 50% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board, taking into account the eligible payments for the period of his/her term of office in the relevant financial year.
The external members of the Supervisory Board Committees shall be entitled to receive the same amounts of attendance fees as received by other members of the Committee and basic remuneration for performing their duties, amounting to 30% of the annual basic remuneration amount paid to each member of the Supervisory Board (excluding additional payments for work in the Committee).
As from the date of adopting this Resolution, the resolution on the amounts of attendance fees, adopted at the General Meeting of 7.4.2009, and the resolution on monthly payments for the performance of duties, adopted at the General Meeting of 19.5.2011, shall cease to apply.
In November 2018 "SDH, d.d." submitted an initiative to the Company, together with their recommendations, to regulate payments to members of the Supervisory Board. On 60 March 2019 "SDH d.d." sent a letter proposing that the issue be discussed at the first General Meeting. The letter containing a resolution proposal with explanations is attached to this substantiation.


The company further states that payments to members of the Supervisory Board have been previously regulated by the resolution on the amount of attendance fees (adopted on 7.4.2009) and the resolution on monthly payments for the performance of duties (adopted on 19.5.2011), and by Sub-clauses 10.14. and 10.15. of the Articles of Association of the Company. The resolution of 2011 was adopted on the initiative of "SDH d.d." (the then »Slovenska odškodninska družba d.d.«). As Petrol was among the first companies to introduce monthly payments for members performing the duties of the office, the amounts determined then were lower than the amounts paid by other comparable companies in terms of size and complexity. Later, SDH d.d. set their own criteria, and now they state that payments to the members of the Supervisory Board and Committees of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana still differ from the payments given by other comparable companies, for which reason they submit this proposal.
Compared to the currently applicable provisions regulating payments to the members of the Supervisory Board, the proposal reduces attendance fees, increases the basic remuneration for performing the duties of the office, and limits the maximum annual amount to be paid to each member. The proposal also fully regulates payments to external members of the Committees and refunds of costs the members of the Supervisory Board may have. By adopting the proposed resolution, this issue will be regulated in one place.

We would kindly ask you to add the following additional item on the Agenda of the regular General Meeting to be held this year:
Changes Relating to the Remuneration for Members of the Supervisory Board and Members of the Supervisory Board's Committees
In return for their work, the General Meeting entitles the members of the Supervisory Board to receive the following remunerations:


shall be entitled to receive the total amount of attendance fees not exceeding 50% of the basic remuneration amount paid on an annual basis for performing the duties of the Supervisory Board. In each financial year, a member of the Supervisory Board who is also a member of the Supervisory Board Committee or Committees shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding the foregoing and the number of his/her attendances at the meetings of the Supervisory Board and Committees, the total amount of attendance fees not exceeding 75% of the basic remuneration amount paid on an annual basis for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board.
2.In addition to attendance fees, the members of the Supervisory Board shall be entitled to receive basic remuneration for performing the duties of the office; each member shall be entitled to receive a gross amount of EUR 14,000.00. Further, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board shall also be entitled to receive an additional amount of 50% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of the Supervisory Board. The Vice Chairman / Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board shall be entitled to receive an additional amount of 10% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board.
The members of the Supervisory Board Committee shall be entitled to receive an additional amount for performing their duties; each member of the Committee shall receive 25% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of the Supervisory Board. The Chairman of the Committee shall be entitled to receive an additional amount of 37.5% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board. In each financial year, a member of the Supervisory Board Committee shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding the foregoing and the number of which he/she is a member or president, the total amount of additional fees not exceeding 50% of the basic remuneration amount paid on an annual basis for performing the duties of Member of the Supervisory Board. If the term of office of a particular member of the Supervisory Board is shorter than the financial year period, this member shall be entitled to receive, notwithstanding the foregoing and the number of committees of which helshe is a member or president, the total amount of additional payments not exceeding 50% of the basic remuneration amount paid for performing the duties of the Supervisory Board, taking into account the eligible payments for the period of his/her term of office in the relevant financial year.
The external members of the Supervisory Board Committees shall be entitled to receive the same amounts of attendance fees as received by other members of the Committee and basic remuneration for performing their duties, amounting to 30% of the annual basic remuneration amount paid to each member of the Supervisory Board (excluding additional payments for work in the Committee).
3.The members of the Supervisory Board and the members of the Supervisory Board Committee shall receive basic remuneration and additional payments for performing their duties as members in the form of proportional monthly fees to which they are entitled as long as they perform the duties of their office. A monthly fee shall amount to one-twelfth of the above-mentioned annual payments.
4.Limits on the amount of total payments of attendance fees or additional payments to the members of the Supervisory Board shall in no way affect their statutory responsibilities and their duty to participate actively in all meetings of the Supervisory Board and the Committees of which they are members.
5.The members of the Supervisory Board shall be entitled to receive a refund of travel and accommodation costs in connection with their work for the Supervisor Board. The amounts refunded shall be defined in accordance with the regulations governing the reimbursement of costs in connection with work and other income not included in the tax base (allowances for travel and overnight stays during business trips). The amount to which a member of the Supervisory Board is entitled in accordance with the above-mentioned regulations shall be paid as a gross amount represents the actual travel expenses refunded. Mileage expenses shall be calculated using the table of distances between places, posted on the website of AMZS. Accommodation costs will be refunded only if the distance of a Supervisory Board member's and/or a Supervisory Board Committee member's permanent or temporary residence is at least 100 kilometres away from the location of the Board's or Committee's work, provided it is not possible for the member to return home owing to the lack of suitable scheduled public means of transport, or for other objective reasons.


As from the date of adopting this Resolution on the amounts of attendance fees, adopted at the General Meeting of 7.4.2009, and the resolution on monthly payments for the performance of duties, adopted at the General Meeting of 19.5.2011, shall cease to apply.
The current system of payments to members of the Supervisory Board of Petrol d.d. and attendance fees is not in accordance with the Code of Corporate Governance with Capital Investment of the State (the Code) posted on the website of SDH d.d. (http://www.sdh.si). Petrol d.d. is a big company with good performance and its shares listed on the organised securities market. We, therefore, believe it would be necessary to bring remuneration amounts paid to the members of the Supervisory Board in line with the Code.
In view of the above-mentioned, we suggest that this resolution should be proposed to be first regular General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2019. If you estimate that relevant changes to the Articles of Association are necessary, we suggest that proposals of such changes should be discussed at the regular General Meeting.
Best regards,
Lidija Glavina President of the Management Board
Božidar Koler Member of the Management Board
Andrej Božič Member of the Management Board
