Executive Board

An Executive Board (“EB”) is established in a two-tier management system of a Joint Stock Company. It represents the Company and directs its business operations by making management decisions independently and at its own responsibility.

Division of Duties: Shareholders and the Supervisory Board (“SB”) of the Company are generally not entitled to decide on managerial matters falling under the authority of the EB nor to influence the decisions of the EB in any other way. [...] The EB is supervised by the SB and EB members are liable to the Shareholders for their actions. The powers and responsibilities of the EB with respect of the Shareholders are to prepare measures that fall within the competence of the Shareholders at the request of the Shareholders and prepare contracts and other acts which require the consent of the General Meeting (“GM”) in order to be valid. The GM can instruct the EB members to carry out the resolutions adopted on the GM. As for representation of the Company, members of the EB are generally entitled to jointly represent the Company.

Composition: The EB must have one or more members who are natural persons with full legal capacity. If the EB has more than 1 member, the members adopt decisions jointly and unanimously unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Association (“AoA”). If the EB has more than 1 member, a Chairman of the EB must be appointed. The EB shall convene at least once each quarter. Only a natural person with full legal capacity may be appointed EB member. 

Appointment/Dismissal Competence: The EB members are appointed by the SB of the Company for a maximum term of 6 years. The SB adopts a decision on appointment of a member of EB by a simple majority of votes. Members cannot be reappointed earlier than 1 year prior to the expiration of their term of office. Before the lapse of a member’s term of office, he/she may only be dismissed in case of existence of one of the following reasons: serious breach of obligations; incapability of conducting business; justified vote of no‑confidence by the GM; or due to other financial reasons (significant changes in the Shareholder structure, reorganization, etc.). The early dismissal competence lies with the SB.
