Self-assessment of the Board of Directors’ performance for the 2022/2023 corporate year

In April 2023, the Board conducted an anonymous evaluation of its performance (including an individual evaluation) and the performance of the Company’s committees for the 2022/2023 corporate year.

Self-assessment used a combination of subjective and objective assessments.

Subjective assessment was carried out by each member of the Board of Directors by filling in questionnaires in which they expressed their subjective opinion on the practice of the Board of Directors and the Committees under the Board of Directors.

The objective assessment involved a review of the Company’s internal documents, including action plans and minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees under the Board of Directors.

The assessment covered:
  • Assessment of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors as a whole
  • Individualised assessment of the Board of Directors
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of each Committee under the Board of Directors
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of the Chairman of the Board of Directors

In the questionnaires, members of the Board of Directors and committees reflected their position on certain evaluation criteria and gave suggestions for improving the work of the Board of Directors and its committees.

The overall performance score of the Board of Directors of PJSC Rosseti South for the 2022/2023 corporate year was 4.8 (‘more likely complies’ with the recommendations contained in international and Russian standards of best corporate governance practices).

The results of the self-assessment of the work of the Board of Directors and Board Committees for the 2022/2023 corporate year were reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors on 7 June 2023 (Minutes No. 525/2023).

There should be noted an increase of 0.1 point compared to the Board’s self-assessment of the 2020/2021 corporate year.

Independent assessment

Based on the results of the 2021/2022 corporate year, an independent (external) evaluation of the Board of Directors and Board Committees was conducted in 2022 with the participation of JSC VTB Registrar, an independent consultant selected through competitive procedures established in the Company.

JSC VTB Registrar conducted the assessment through a questionnaire survey of Board members and Board committees, which included questions to assess the experience, knowledge, business reputation, conflict of interest and performance of each member of the Board of Directors and its committees.

Outcomes of the independent assessment:
  • Board of Directors – 4.49
  • Chairman of the Board of Directors – 4.67
  • Members of the Board of Directors – 4.99 (average score, all 11 members of the Board of Directors)
  • Committees of the Board of Directors – 4.82 (average score, four committees)

The minimum score from the above (4.49 on a scale of 1 to 5) corresponds to an advanced level of development of the Board of Directors and Board Committees.

The results of the assessment showed a high quality of work of the Company’s Board of Directors:
  • Activities of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors are well organised and comply with the Company’s strategic principles and partially with the key recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code
  • The structure of the Board of Directors and its committees fully corresponds to the Company’s needs, its scale and level of business complexity
  • The Board of Directors is well balanced in terms of its composition and set of skills, its structure is optimal, and attendance of Board meetings by its members is high
  • There is potential to improve the efficiency of the Board of Directors by increasing the proportion of in-person meetings against absentee voting
  • The Chairman of the Board of Directors efficiently runs the meetings
  • Interaction between members of the Board of Directors and the Board Committees is at a high level
  • Organisational and information support for the work of the Board of Directors and Board Committees was to a high standard
  • The memorandum of the controlling shareholder of PJSC Rosseti is duly disclosed

GRI 405-1

The Board of Directors is elected annually by the General Meeting of Shareholders for a term until the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and consists of 11 persons. Such quantitative composition of the Board of Directors optimally corresponds to the current goals and objectives of the Company, industry practice and allows to ensure the necessary balance of competences, knowledge and experience among the members of the Board of Directors.

In 2023, there were two compositions of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meetings of Shareholders on 16 June 2022 and 9 June 2023.

According to the results of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2023, the personal composition of the Board of Directors changed by 9% (one new member of the Board of Directors was elected). Furthermore, the ratio of persons nominated to the Board of Directors by the majority shareholder, PJSC Rosseti, and the minority shareholder, the Russian Prosperity Fund, and elected to the Board of Directors remained unchanged at 10 to 1, respectively.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Chairman of the Board of Directors is elected by the members of the Board of Directors of the Company from among them by a simple majority of votes. The Board of Directors may at any time re-elect the Chairman of the Board of Directors by a majority of votes of the total number of Board members. The Chairman of the Board of Directors discharges the functions stipulated by the Regulations on the Board of Directors of the Company.

Daniil Krainskiy was elected Chairman of the current Board of Directors.

During the independent assessment of the Board of Directors for the 2021/2022 corporate year, the performance of D. Krainskiy as Chairman of the Board of Directors was highly appreciated by the members of the Board of Directors, including the quality of work organisation of the Board of Directors, the quality of moderation of in-person meetings of the Board of Directors, contribution to ensuring effective communication between the Board members, the Board of Directors and the management, creation of a constructive working environment of the Board of Directors.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The Corporate Governance Code of the Bank of Russia stipulates that the Board of Directors should include a sufficient number of independent directors. The Company believes it is important to have independent directors as part of the Board of Directors.

In order to ensure compliance of PJSC Rosseti South with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code of the Bank of Russia, and considering the necessary grounds, the Board of Directors of the Company decided two times (on 5 August 2022 and 5 October 2023, Minutes No. 493/2022 and No. 546/2023, respectively) to declare members of the Board of Directors of the Company – Maria Korotkova, Alexander Kazakov, Ekaterina Nikitchanova, and Vitaliy Zarkhin – as independent directors, despite their formal dependence criteria (relatedness with the Company, a significant shareholder of the Company, a significant counterparty of the Company), since such relatedness will not affect the ability of the respective member of the Board of Directors to make independent, objective and bona fide judgements.

The existing structure of the Board of Directors ensures its appropriate independence from the Company’s management and, thus, the proper control over its operations. In particular, Rosseti South’s Board of Directors includes only one representative of the Company’s management – General Director.

The Senior Independent Director of the Company is not elected. But it shall be noted that it is not a common practice for Russian companies, both private and publicly owned, to appoint an independent director as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Induction of new Board members

The Regulations on the Board of Directors stipulate that first-time elected members of the Board of Directors are provided with an opportunity to get an insight into the Company’s strategy, the corporate governance system adopted by the Company, the risk management and internal control system, the distribution of responsibilities between the Company’s executive bodies and other essential information on the Company’s production, financial and economic activities.

PJSC Rosseti South Order No. 724 dated 27 November 2023 approved the guidelines on induction of newly elected member(s) of the Board of Directors, Committees of the Board of Directors of PJSC Rosseti South. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors elected in 2023 were made aware of these guidelines.

The induction of newly elected members of the Board of Directors includes the following activities:
  • Familiarisation with the Articles of Association and key internal documents of the Company
  • Familiarisation with rights, duties and responsibilities, disclosure of information on the Company’s activities and organisation of the Board work
  • Familiarisation with the activities of the Company and the Board of Directors, including meetings with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, executive bodies, and the Company’s management, as well as visits to the Company’s power grid facilities and detailed answers to all questions of interest
