Jaime Velázquez
Secretary
Compliance with the Code of Good Governance
60/64 Recommendation
- Recommendation 16:
Proportional representation of Proprietary Directors out of the total of non-executive Directors - In 2019 proprietary directors represented a percentage higher than their shareholding: 4 out of 11 (36% of the Board excluding the CEO vs. 29.9% stake)
- The CNMV mitigates the strict criterion of proportionality when there are few significant shareholders (6 in the case of Cellnex, with more than 3%)
-
Recommendation 48:
Separation Appointments and Remuneration Commission - Not justified by workload
- A separation may be considered in light of future developments in the Company
Compliance with the Code of Good Governance
60/64 Recommendation
- Recommendation 62:
Shares given as remuneration may not be sold within a 3-year period - Entitlement to shares received by the CEO is generated in a 3-year period, after which they may not be transferred for a further 2 years. This is considered a sufficient period of time in terms of loyalty and to avoid speculation
- Recommendation 64:
CEO compensation may not exceed 2 years' total compensation - CEO compensation is for 2 years
- In addition to this, there is compensation equivalent to 1 year through the "post-contractual"non-competition agreement
Proposed agreements
