Requirement 3: Material business relationships Must not be a customer, supplier, commercial banker, corporate banker or consultant: of material importance to the Company or Group; p or a material portion of whose business is transacted with the Company or Group. p The materiality of the relationship with the Company or its Group is considered by the Board, and the quantitative and qualitative criteria used to formulate its opinion (continuity, economic reliance, exclusivity, etc.) are stated explicitly in the Annual Report. Requirement 4: Family ties Must not have close family ties with a company officer. Requirement 5: Statutory Auditor Must not have been a Statutory Auditor during the preceding five years.

Directors lose their Independent Director status on the 12 th anniversary date of their appointment. Requirement 7: Non-executive company officer A non-executive company officer may not be considered independent if he/she receives his/her variable compensation in cash or shares or any other payment linked to the performance of the Company or the Group. Requirement 8: Major shareholder Directors representing major shareholders of the Company or its parent company may be considered independent if these shareholders do not have full or partial control of the Company. However, if the relevant major shareholders hold more than 10% of the share capital or of voting rights, the Board, based on a report by the nomination committee, considers as a matter of course the Directors’ independent status with regard to the composition of the share capital and any potential conflicts of interest.
