Board of Directors

Role, appointment and composition




The Board of Directors has a central role in Rai Way’s governance system. It exclusively manages the company, and works with the diligence required by the nature of the role, based upon the specific abilities of each member.

Roles

The Board of Directors has all administrative power in the Company, and may take any actions deemed necessary for the implementation of business purposes, excluding only those reserved for the AGM. The Board’s methods and abilities are determined by a specific regulation, adopted by the same Board in accordance with laws, regulations, and statutes.

In particular, the Board of Directors evaluates the adequacy of the organisational, administrative, and financial structure of the company, with particular reference to the Internal Auditing and Risk Management System. In addition to the powers that cannot be delegated by law, the Board of Directors is also responsible for resolutions concerning:

  • general guidelines, the adoption and amendment of industrial, strategic and financial plans
  • the appointment and dismissal of the General Manager and Chief Financial Officer.

Appointment

Directors are elected by the Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of the slate voting system. Names are chosen from lists submitted by shareholders who, on their own or together with other Shareholders, own Rai Way shares representing at least 2.5% of the share capital with voting rights or representing a lower percentage established by mandatory provisions of law or regulations.

Composition

The current Board of Directors, composed of seven members, including four women, was appointed by the the Shareholders' Meeting of 24 June 2020. It will remain in office until approval of the Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2025.

Four directors are women and six meet the independence requirements of the law and by the Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies.

The Board includes managerial and professional profiles with adequate knowledge and experience, particularly in the field of technological infrastructures (media and communications), finance, and risk management.
