External mandates of members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board

Mandates outside SoftwareOne of the members
of the Board of Directors

SoftwareOne’s Articles of Incorporation (AoI) provide that the company’s Board of Directors (BoD) be composed of at least three and not more than 12 members, including the Chair of the BoD. No member of the BoD may hold more than four additional mandates at listed companies and more than six mandates at non-listed companies. Mandates within the meaning of this provision are mandates of comparable functions at other companies with an economic purpose. Mandates at different legal entities under common control or owned by the same beneficial owner are deemed to constitute a single mandate.

The following mandates are not subject to these limitations:

  1. Mandates at companies which are controlled by the company or which control the company;
  2. Mandates held at the request of the company or companies it controls. No member of the BoD or the EB may hold more than 10 such mandates;
  3. Mandates at associations, charitable organizations, foundations, trusts, and employee welfare foundations. No member of the BoD or the EB may hold more than six such mandates.

All members of the BoD remained within the statutory maximum numbers of outside mandates at listed and non-listed companies and organizations.
