In accordance with the provisions of Article 45 quater of the Company Bylaws and Article 11 of the Board of Directors Regulations, at least once a year the Board will assess its performance and the quality and efficiency of its work. It also annually assesses the work of its Committees, based on the reports they submit. The Chairman of the Board of Directors organizes and coordinates with the chairmen of the Committees the periodic assessment of the Board.

Likewise, at least once every three years, the Board of Directors is assisted in the assessment process by an external consulting firm, the last time having taken place in the 2023 fiscal year.

Consequently, during the 2024 fiscal year, the Board of Directors has carried out an assessment of its performance in the 2024 fiscal year based on questionnaires that collect, among others, different questions related to its composition and that of its Committees, its organization and operation, and the performance of its responsibilities, as well as the performance of the Chairman and Secretary to the Board of Directors, the CEO, and the other Directors. The evaluation process has concluded with the approval of the report of conclusions and the improvement actions for the 2025 fiscal year at the meeting of the Board of Directors on January 29, 2025.
