Assessment of application of "Principles of Corporate Governance for Supervised Institutions"
The Supervisory Board of the Bank adopted the Report of the Regulations and Cooperations with Regulatory Institutions’ Compliance Department at Compliance Division containing an independent assessment of the compliance by the Bank with the "Principles of Corporate Governance for Supervised Institutions". The Supervisory Board of the Bank assessed that the Bank in 2024 applied the rules resulting from the "Principles of Corporate Governance for Supervised Institutions" except § 11.2, § 16.1 for principles with respect to which it was decided not to comply.
On July 22, 2014 the Polish Financial Supervisions Authority (the PFSA) issued a document entitled “The Principles of Corporate Governancefor Supervised Institutions” ("Principles").
The Principles are a set of rules that determine the internal and external relations of institutions supervised by the PFSA, including the relations with shareholders and clients, their organization, the functioning of the internal supervision and the key internal systems and functions, as well as statutory bodies and principles of their cooperation.
The aim of the Principles is to raise corporate governance standards in financial institutions and increasetheir operational transparency, which should contribute to strengthening investors’ confidence and trust in the financial market in Poland.
On December 9, 2014 the Management Board of Bank Handlowy w Warszawie S.A. made a declaration of the Bank’s compliance with the Principles and on December 18, 2014 the Supervisory Board approvedthe observance of the Principles which fall within the competence of the Supervisory Board.
At the same time it was decided that the Bank should refrain from applying three principles:- 1) § 8 item 4 (e-General Meeting) – the currently available IT solutions do not guarantee safe and proper organization of electronic General Meetings. However, the Management Board recognizes the importance of this way of shareholders’ participation in General Meetings of the Bank and, therefore, it decided to take a separate decision in this respect prior to each General Meeting.
- 2) § 11 item 2 (transactions with affiliated entities)– this principle will not be applied in relation to agreements concluded within the framework of current operations, in particular related to liquidity management, due to the nature of transactions and a large number of agreements and in the scope of transactions carried out on the basis of a brokerage agreement for the execution of orders with the Client: CGML and CGME, as these transactions are carried out on market terms.
- 3) § 16 item 1 (the use of the Polish language at Management Board's meetings) – Management Board meetings attended by foreigners, especially foreigners being members of the Management Board, who do not speak Polish are held in English. At the same time, motions to the decision of the Management Board as well as all materials and minutes of the meetings are prepared and archived in Polish.
