Executive committee

Consultative committee

Within the board of directors, two committees have been established: an audit committee and an appointments and remuneration committee. Furthermore, an ad hoc committee of independent directors may be formed if a planned transaction or a decision of the board of directors gives rise to the application of Article 7:97 of the CSA. These committees have a purely consultative function. They are responsible for analysing specific issues and providing advice to the board of directors.

Policies

Corporate governance charter

The Corporate Governance Charter, as last amended on 17 November 2023, aims to explain the main aspects of the company’s governance policy, such as its governance structure and the terms of reference of the board, its committees and the executive committee.1 In addition it describes the various preventive policies that the company applies with regard to market abuse, conflicts of interest and integrity. This Charter is based on the company’s articles of association, the Code 2020 and the regulations applicable to the company, including the Code of Companies and Associations.

Remuneration policy

A new 2022-2026 Remuneration Policy was adopted for Nextensa by the general shareholders’ meeting of May 2022. This document provides a clear framework with transparency on roles, tasks and responsibilities in relation to remuneration.

Dealing Code

This Dealing Code sets out Nextensa’s internal policy on preventing the abuse of inside information and other forms of market abuse. The board of directors set up these rules to avoid any unlawful use of inside information by employees, or even the possibility of creating such an impression. The Code provides a procedure regarding transactions in financial instruments of Nextensa to be carried out by directors, members of the executive committee or by employees.

Integrity code

The company’s integrity code is an important part of its corporate governance and has been set up to emphasise the importance of ethical and responsible business conduct. This code creates a general (behavioural) framework with a number of general principles and ethical guidelines, applicable to every member of the company bodies and every employee of the Nextensa Group. In addition, contractors and partners of the Group are also expected to observe and respect the principles of this code of integrity, and to commit to extend these legal and ethical standards to their own supply chain. This policy covers various aspects, including compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding market abuse, non-corruption, professional secrecy, human rights, compliance with the principles around diversity and inclusion and conducting business in a socially responsible manner.
