MR. FERNANDO

VIVES RUIZ

Executive Chairman of the J&A Garrigues, S.L.P. law firm, which provides legal and tax advisory services to the Company of a recurrent and ordinary nature.

The firm J&A Garrigues, S.L.P. has been providing Prosegur Group, in a recurring manner and since long before the appointment of Fernando Vives as a director of the Company, legal and tax advisory services, within the ordinary course of business and in market conditions. As part of these services, the firm acts as Secretary to the Board of Directors, for which it receives the same remuneration as that of a non-executive director.

Prosegur does not work exclusively with the firm J&A Garrigues, S.L.P., receiving legal and tax advice from other firms. The fees received by J&A Garrigues, S.L.P. from Prosegur are not significant for the firm in material terms and nor do they represent a significant amount on Prosegur's accounts.

In addition, the provision of these services is performed through other partners in the firm other than Fernando Vives, whose remuneration as a partner of J&A Garrigues, S.L.P. is totally independent and not linked in any way to the firm's invoicing to Prosegur. Therefore, the Board of Directors considers that the business relationship between the firm J&A

Garrigues, S.L.P. and Prosegur, due to its recurring nature in the ordinary course of business, its non-exclusivity and its scant importance in the aforementioned terms, does not in any way affect the independent nature of Fernando Vives for performing the position of director of Prosegur and being classified as independent.

Prosegur also provided manned guarding services to J&A Garrigues, S.L.P. in 2020.

C.1.5 State whether the company has diversity policies in relation to the Board of

Directors of the company on such questions as age, gender, disability and training and professional experience. Small and medium-sized enterprises, in accordance with the definition set out in the Accounts Audit Act, will have to report at least the policy they have implemented in relation to gender diversity.

Yes

No

Partial policiesShould this be the case, describe these diversity policies, their objectives, the measures and way in which they have been applied and their results over the year. Also state the specific measures adopted by the Board of Directors and the appointments and remuneration committee to achieve a balanced and diverse presence of directors.

In the event that the company does not apply a diversity policy, explain the reasons why.

Description of policies, objectives, measures and how they have been implemented, including results achieved.

The Company's policy for selecting candidates for directorships is a key element of its corporate governance strategy as transparency in actions is one of the Company's key objectives. This policy states that candidates for directorships shall be selected based on an analysis by the Board of Directors of the needs of the Company and its group following the advice and a report from the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

Candidates should include reputable, suitable individuals of acknowledged solvency, skill, experience, qualification, training, availability and commitment to the function, whose conduct and professional experience are aligned with the principles set out in the Code of Ethics. Moreover, appointments must promote diversity of knowledge, experiences, origins, nationalities and gender within the Board of Directors.

A key objective is to help have the right balance in the Board of Directors overall that enriches its decision-making process and provides differing viewpoints to the debate of issues under its remit and prevent any type of implicit bias that may imply discrimination and, in particular, that may undermine the selection of directors.

  • C.1.6 Describe the measures, if any, agreed upon by the appointments committee to ensure that selection procedures do not contain hidden biases which impede the selection of female directors and that the company deliberately seeks and includes women who meet the target professional profile among potential candidates, and which makes it possible to achieve a balance between men and women. Also state whether these measures include encouraging the company to have a significant number of female senior managers:

    In the event that there are few or no female directors or senior managers in spite of any measures adopted, please explain the reasons that justify such a situation:

    Explanation of measures

    The policy for selecting candidates for the office of director, approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting held on 24 February 2016 states that selecting candidates for the office of director will start with an analysis of the needs of the Company and the group of companies whose company is dominant, which shall be carried out by the Board of Directors with the advice and report provided by the Appointments Committee. Among other conditions, people will be sought whose appointment favors diversity of knowledge, experiences, nationalities and gender within the Board of Directors.

    The Policy for selecting candidates for the office of director must ensure that the number of female directors represents thirty percent of the total membership of the Board of Directors. The Company currently has a 25% female presence on its Board of Directors, being one of the female directors the Chairman of the Board. Nevertheless, the Company will carefully analyze the possibilities of increasing this percentage in the future.

  • C.1.7 Explain the conclusions of the appointments committee regarding verification of compliance with the policy aimed at favoring an appropriate composition of the board of directors.

    The Company currently has a 25% female presence on its Board of Directors, being one of the female directors the Chairman of the Board. Nevertheless, the Company will carefully analyze the possibilities of increasing this percentage in the future.

As a result of this amendment, subarticles 6 and 7 of article

  • 15 are renumbered as 5 and 6.

  • 5. In connection with article 16, to amend subarticle 1 on the composition of the Audit Committee in compliance with recommendation number 29 of the Code of Good Governance and with a view to stipulating that Audit Committee Members, as a whole, be designated having regard to, inter alia, their knowledge and experience in matters of financial and non-financial risk management.

C.1.16 Specify the procedures for selection, appointment, re-election and removal of directors: the competent bodies, steps to follow and criteria applied in each procedure.

(i) Selection.

In the policy selecting candidates for director of the Company, it is established that the selection shall be carried out by the Board of Directors with the advice and report provided by the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

Candidates must be honorable, suitable individuals of acknowledged solvency, skill, experience, qualification, training, availability and commitment to their duties. Specifically, the candidates must be upstanding professionals whose conduct and professional career is in line with the principles in the Group's Code of Ethics as well as with the Group's mission, vision and values.

Candidates will also be sought whose appointment favors diversity of knowledge, experiences, nationalities and gender within the Board of Directors.

(ii) Appointment.

The Company's Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall comprise, at least, five and, at most, fifteen members to be appointed at the General Shareholders' Meeting.

The appointment of Directors at the company is subject to the decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting. Only on certain occasions, in accordance with the provisions of the Spanish Companies Act, may directors be appointed through co-option, and this decision is then ratified at the next General Shareholders' Meeting. The Board shall ensure that the composition of the body, external directors constitute a majority over executive directors, and reduce their number to a minimum.

In accordance with the provisions of article 20 of the Regulation of the Board of Directors, proposals for the appointment of directors which the Board of Directors decides to submit to the General Shareholders' Meeting and the decisions regarding appointments by co-option must be subject to the corresponding proposal (in the case of independent directors) or report (in the case of other directors) issued by the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

The proposals must always be submitted with a justification report by the Board of Directors which assesses the skill, experience and merit of the candidate. Any proposal for appointing or re-electing a non-independent director must also be preceded by a report from the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The foregoing also applies to natural persons that have been appointed representatives of directors that are legal entities.

Pursuant to article 9 of the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee, said Committee is in charge of assessing the necessary profile, skills, knowledge and experience of the persons most suitable to form part of the various Board committees; reporting to the Board on matters related to gender diversity and establishing a representation target for the sex least represented on the Board; submitting proposals to the Board for the appointment of independent directors, for their designation by cooptation or for their submission to the decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting, and to report on proposals for appointment to and removal from office on the Board of Directors, including the proposal of members of its standing committees.

(iii) Re-election.

Directors are appointed for a term of three years, and may be re-elected once or more times for equal periods.

Notwithstanding the above, independent directors may not remain in the post for a term of more than twelve consecutive years, unless they become proprietary, executive or other external directors.

Proposals for the re-election of directors which the Board of Directors decides to submit to the General Shareholders' Meeting for approval must entail a formal preparation process, necessarily involving a report by the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee, evaluating the quality of the work and professional dedication of the directors proposed during the previous term.

(iv) Assessment.

In accordance with the provisions of article 17 of the Board Regulations, the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee will organize and coordinate the periodic assessment of the Chair of the Board of Directors and, with this, theperiodic assessment of the Board of Directors, of its members and of the top executive of the Company.

(v) Termination.

In accordance with Article 24 of Board Regulations, Directors will cease to hold office when their appointment's term elapses and when it is so decided by the Shareholders' Meeting or the Board of Directors pursuant to their legal or bylaw-based powers.

The Board may only propose that the appointment of an independent director be terminated before the end of his or her term when there is just cause as determined by the Board with the aid of a report from the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

Directors must make their office available to the Board of Directors and, if deemed necessary by the latter, tender their resignation formally in the situations described in C.1.19 of this report. Directors leaving office before the end of their term, either through resignation or by decision of the Shareholders' Meeting, must give sufficient explanation of the reasons for their resignation or, in the case of non-executive directors, their opinion on the reasons for the decision of the Shareholders' Meeting, in a letter addressed to all members of the Board of Directors. Irrespective of the disclosure of all of the foregoing in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, insofar as it is important to investors, the Company should make public, with the least possible delay, the resignation or removal of the director, including sufficient reference to the reasons or circumstances given by the director.

C.1.17 Explain how the annual assessment of the board has given rise to significant changes in its internal organization and to procedures applicable to its activities:

Description of amendment

The annual assessment did not give rise to changes as they were not considered necessary. The Company performs a self-assessment in accordance with its internal rules and regulations, which allows it to evaluate the quality and efficiency of the meetings of the Board of Directors, the operation of its committees, and the accessibility to the material required for the preparation of the Board meetings. Given the satisfactory assessment of the internal organization and the procedures applied to the activities of the Board of Directors and the board committees, no changes were required.

Describe the assessment process and the areas assessed by the Board of Directors with the help, if any, of external advisors, regarding the function and composition of the board and its committees and any other area or aspect that has been evaluated.

Description of the assessment process and assessed areas

In accordance with Article 5 of the Board Regulations, one of the main missions of the Board of Directors is the general supervisory function highlighting among others overseeing its own organization and operation.

Article 17 of the Board Regulations highlights that the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee will organize and coordinate the periodic assessment of the Chair of the Board of Directors and, with this, the periodic assessment of the Board of Directors, of its members and of the top executive of the Company.

The Company does not have an external advisor so the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee will perform the assessment directly.

C.1.18 Describe, in those years in which the external advisor has participated, the business relationships that the external advisor or any group company maintains with the company or any company in its group.

N/A

C.1.19 State the situations in which directors are required to resign.

In accordance with article 24.3, directors must make their office available to the Board of Directors and, if deemed necessary by the latter, tender their resignation formally in the following cases:

(i) When the directors no longer hold the executive positions which their appointment as directors were linked to or when the reasons for their appointment no longer exist. Specifically, in the case of nominated directors, when the shareholder(s) that proposed, required or determined their appointment sell(s) or transfer(s) their participation partially or in full and, as a consequence, the shareholder(s) no longer hold a significant or sufficient equity participation to justify the appointment.

  • (ii) When they meet any of the legally defined criteria for incompatibility or prohibition.

  • (iii) When they are taken to court for a suspected crime or are the object of disciplinary proceedings initiated by the supervisory authorities due to a serious or very serious incident. (iv) When they receive a serious warning from the Audit Committee because they breached their obligations as directors.

(v) When their presence on the Board of Directors can affect the Company's credit or reputation or in any way jeopardize its interests, when situations arise that affect them, whether or not related to their actions at the Company itself.

Article 39 of the Board of Directors' Regulations states that:

After a report by the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors formally reserves the right to approve any transactions completed between the Company or the group's companies and directors or shareholders that hold a significant equity participation (either individually or as a group), including shareholders that are represented in the Company's Board of Directors or the Board of Directors of other companies in the same group or transactions with people related to these ("related-party transactions").

3. In the case of transactions during ordinary corporate business that are common or recurring, it shall only be necessary for the Board of Directors to issue a prior, generic authorization for the line of transactions and their execution conditions. However, a report must first be submitted by the Audit Committee.

4. Nevertheless, the Board's authorization shall not be necessary if the transactions fulfil the following three conditions: (i) they are conducted in connection with contracts whose conditions are standardized and apply to a high number of customers; (ii) they are conducted at general prices or rates set by the good or service providers; and (iii) their value does not exceed one percent of the Company's annual revenue in accordance with the audited financial statement regarding the last closed financial year as of the date of the transaction.

E. RISK CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

E.1 Explain the scope of the company's Risk Control and Management System, including tax compliance risk.

Prosegur considers that the efficient management of risks is key to ensure the creation of value and guarantee the Company's success. In this connection and at the proposal of the Company's Audit Committee, on 29 July 2020 the Board of Directors approved a new Risk Control and Management Policy for the Company.

For this purpose, it has a robust risk management and control system implemented in its various areas of activity. The Company analyses, controls and assesses the relevant factors that might affect its daily management to meet its business objectives. Accordingly, it safeguards the assets and interests of customers, employees and shareholders.

Prosegur's Risk Management System works comprehensively and continuously, consolidating management by area, business unit, activity, subsidiaries, geographical areas and areas of support at corporate level.

Prosegur engages in control activities through suitable policies and procedures that help to prevent and detect the materialization of risks and, should they occur, to mitigate, compensate or correct their impact. Thus, Prosegur aims to ensure that the risks it assumes are compatible with its short-term and long-term goals.

Prosegur maintains suitable risk control and management and assumes a controlled level of risk that enables it to:

  • - attain approved strategic objectives;

  • - contribute the maximum level of security to its shareholders;

  • - defend the interests of shareholders, customers and other groups interested in the development of Prosegur;

  • - protect its results and its reputation;

  • - guarantee, on an ongoing basis, financial stability and strength.

The risk control and management system is based on procedures and methodologies that make it possible to identify and assess risks, with a view to attaining these objectives.

Actions aimed at controlling and mitigating risks are summarized below:

  • Continued identification, assessment and prioritization of critical risks based on their possible impact on Prosegur's relevant goals;

  • Risk assessment in accordance with procedures based on key indicators which make it possible to control them, develop their management and monitor their progress over time;

  • Periodic monitoring of the effectiveness of the measures applied by risk managers in order to prevent and mitigate the impact of the materialization of some of the risks;

  • Review and analysis of results by the Risk Committee.

  • System supervision by the Audit Committee.

E.2 Identify the bodies within the company responsible for creating and executing the Risk Control and Management System, including tax compliance risk.

Within its general supervisory function, the Board of Directors is the most senior body in charge of determining Prosegur's general policies and strategies with regard to risk control and management, delegating to the Audit Committee the powers of reporting, advising and proposing with regard thereto and the power to supervise the risk control and management unit.

The Risk Committee, as a risk control and management unit of Prosegur guarantees that the risk control and management systems work properly, specifically guaranteeing that all major risks affecting Prosegur are identified, managed and quantified; it actively participates in drawing up the risk strategy and making important decisions about risk management; and it ensures that the risk control and management systems mitigate risks appropriately.

The Risk Committee, of which the Head of Internal Audit is automatically a member, holds periodic meetings with a view to explaining the findings and conclusions of the assessment of critical risks, including non-financial risks, which it performs as part of its functions. The Head of Internal Audit periodically prepares the Critical Risk Management Assessment Report, in which he or she explains indetail the significant aspects of the assessment of critical risks and the main conclusions, which is later reviewed jointly with the Risk Committee. The report is then forwarded to the Audit Committee and the Head of Internal Audit appears before the Committee to explain the main conclusions detailed in the assessment report. The Audit Committee performs a detailed analysis of the conclusions explained by the Head of Internal Audit and, as the case may be, resolves to adopt the appropriate measures.

  • E.3 State the primary risks, including tax compliance risks, and those deriving from corruption (with the scope of these risks as set out in Royal Decree Law 18/2017), to the extent that these are significant, which may affect the achievement of business objectives.

    • 1. Digital transformation. Technological choice and rhythm of change

    • 2. Cybersecurity, cyberattacks, loss or theft of company or customer confidential information.

    • 3. Security and software defects and incidents in the IT infrastructure.

    • 4. Transactions in highly competitive markets. Pressure on prices and margins.

    • 5. Transactions in highly regulated markets. Risk of non-compliance with regulations, including applicable tax regulations in each market and/or as a group. Unfavorable regulatory change. Increase in the intervention of governments or regulators.

    • 6. Devaluation of currency and restriction of the movement of capital.

    • 7. Reputational risks. Negative publicity regarding name. Loss of brand value.

    • 8. Difficulty obtaining the results projected in the alarms business plan.

    • 9. Damage to company assets and to assets held under its care.

    • 10. Inadequate management of indirect costs.

    • 11. Decline in liquidity generation or in cash management.

    • 12. Occupational risks related to health and safety at work.

    • 13. Corruption and fraud risks.

  • E.4 State whether the entity has a risk tolerance level, including tolerance for tax compliance risk.

    Prosegur has defined a model for the identification of critical risk and a procedure for the evaluation and supervision of its management through key risk indicators. The identification of critical risks and their prioritization is updated annually according to a model that, basically, considers the risks related to Prosegur's main business and corporate objectives.

    The indicators-based evaluation model identifies significant parameters (indicators) that provide a useful measure of how each risk is managed. The indicators are chosen considering that (i) they may be applied consistently in all countries; (ii) they allow measurable comparisons to be made over time and between countries; and (iii) they allow the persons responsible to evaluate risk management and anticipate situations of non-compliance with objectives that are relevant for Prosegur.

    According to the above criteria, the indicators are usually:

    - Values that may be easily obtained from accountancy or other similarly reliable records

    - Budgeted figures, which allows limits to be defined for the indicator.

    As a general rule, the tolerance levels (acceptable risk level) are defined considering a percentage of the limit of the indicator in each country. These tolerance levels are consistent with economic indicators used in the application of local and corporate incentive programs.

    In the case of risks that do not allow the identification of indicators with the general criteria that has been defined, the party responsible for their management proposes alternative methods for the assessment and supervision of their management that are validated by the Risk Committee.

  • E.5 State what risks, including tax risk, have materialized during the year.

Risks that have materialized during the year are inherent in the business model, Prosegur's activity and the markets in which it operates, mainly due to incidents involving assets held, so that they tend to recur in each financial year. The risk control and mitigation systems planned for these risks have worked adequately, and consequently none of them has had a significant impact either on Prosegur's activity or on its results.

The outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 and its global spread has triggered a global health crisis. TheCOVID-19 pandemic is not only an unprecedented health emergency, but also an economic and social emergency, whose magnitude and consequences pose one of the most serious challenges for all organizations. Prosegur has not been unaffected by the effects of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 in 2020. In order to face this situation, the Company has continuously monitored the evolution of events and their impact throughout the year, establishing different measures aimed at guaranteeing the health and safety of all its employees, customers and collaborators and maintaining excellence in the provision of its services. Among the measures adopted, the following stand out:

- The creation of a Global Crisis Committee at the beginning of the year to promote agility in decision-making and critical actions. In turn, local Crisis Committees were replicated to adapt measures according to the health situation in each country.

- Preparation of protocols for action in the event of Covid-19, distribution and implementation in all countries where we operate, adapted to the regulations enacted and following the recommendations of the relevant health and administrative authorities.

- Coordination of the collection of protective material, which favored the supply of the most exposed personnel from the outset.

- The establishment of remote working as a preventive measure for all personnel whose duties allow it. Prosegur's main services have been declared essential in most of the countries where the Company operates. In this complex context, our teams have developed a fundamental role and are providing services in a wide range of sectors, some as critical as health infrastructures, logistics centres or food distribution chains.

E.6 Explain the response and monitoring plans for all major risks, including tax compliance risks, of the company, as well as the procedures followed by the company in order to ensure that the board of directors responds to any new challenges that arise

Prosegur periodically and repeatedly identifies, assesses and prioritizes the risks it considers to be critical, considering their impact on relevant objectives, in particular. In order to do this, it has a management and reporting system through which it controls and manages risks, which provides a graphic representation of the diagnostic of the risk assessment process, determined through the interaction of probability and the impact of risks on the different processes, on the activities and on the functions of a business or support areas. It contributes to performing a review of the internal control that is there to mitigate the impact of the risks.

Depending on the type of risk and its relevance, Prosegur management and the parties directly responsible for its management have established appropriate procedures to allow the effects of any risk that may materialize to be prevented, detected, avoided, mitigated, compensated or shared.

The findings of the risk control and management are periodically reviewed and analyzed by the Risk Committee. The entire risk management system and its results are supervised by the Audit Committee, which submits to the Board of Directors any issues that should, given their relevance or material nature, be discussed by the Board.

F.2 Assessment of financial information risks

Report on at least the following:

F.2.1 The main characteristics of the risk identification process, including error and fraud risk, as regards:

Whether the process exists and is documented.

Every year, the Finance Department identifies, using the ICFR scope matrix, the risks affecting financial reporting from the standpoint of accounting records and potential non-compliance with accounting standards. After analyzing the risks, it documents the design of the controls that mitigate them.

Whether the process covers all of the objectives of financial information, (existence and occurrence; completeness; valuation; delivery; breakdown and comparability; and rights and obligations), whether it is updated and with what frequency.

The ICFR scope matrix is aimed at identifying the accounts and entries that have significant risk associated with them, whose potential impact on financial reporting is material and, which therefore require special attention. In this regard, in the process of identifying the significant accounts and breakdowns a series of quantitative variables (balance of the account) and qualitative variables (complexity of transactions; changes and complexity of regulations; need to use estimates or projections; application of judgement and qualitative importance of the information, among others) are considered.

This ICFR scope matrix is based on the balance sheet and consolidated global income statement included in the latest audited Consolidated Financial Statements that are available. Said matrix is updated every year, after the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared. In 2020, the scope matrixwas last updated based on the figures contained in the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019.

For each of these significant accounts and breakdowns included in the scope matrix, the associated critical processes and sub-processes have been defined, and the risks that might generate errors and/or fraud in financial reporting have been identified, covering all the financial reporting objectives (existence and occurrence; completeness; valuation; presentation, breakdown and comparability; and rights and obligations).

The existence of a process for identifying the scope of consolidation, taking into account, among other factors, the possible existence of complex company structures, shell companies, or special purpose entities.

The identification of the consolidation perimeter is carried out each month. The changes in the consolidation perimeter are recorded in the Group consolidation software system, where the map of the structure of ownership of the companies within the perimeter is permanently updated.

The Business Development Department and the Legal Department are in charge of informing the Finance Department of the transactions they intend to carry out in their areas, where those transactions could affect the structure of the group and the consolidation perimeter.

The Finance Department, through the Tax Department, keeps a record of all the entities included in the consolidation perimeter, the means of control or influence, the legal format and the type of direct or indirect participation of all the companies. It is continuously updated and allows historical changes in the perimeter to be tracked.

In accordance with the provisions of the Board of Directors Regulations (subarticle 16.3.k), the Audit Committee is responsible for analyzing and reporting the economic conditions, accounting impact and, where appropriate, the exchange ratio proposed for the structural and corporate changes that have been planned by the Company before submission to the Board of Directors.

Whether the process takes into account the effects of other types of risk (operational, technological, financial, legal, tax, reputational, environmental, etc.) to the extent that they affect the financial statements.

Each year the Internal Audit Department identifies all manner of critical risks (operating and business, technological, financial, interest rates, exchange rates, legal, tax, social, regulatory, reputational, environmental, political, corruption and those related to fraud) which, were they to materialize, could have an adverse effect on the Company's attainment of relevant goals.

The governing body within the company that supervises the process

Supervision of ICFR efficiency is the responsibility of the Audit Committee. The Internal Audit Department uses specific programs to verify the internal control of financial information under the supervision of the Audit Committee.

F.3 Control activities

State whether the company has at least the following, describing their main characteristics:

F.3.1 Review and authorization procedures for financial information published by the stock markets and a description of the ICFR, indicating those responsible, as well as documentation describing the flow of activity and controls (including those relating to the risk of fraud) of the various types of transactions which may materially affect the financial statements, including financial closing procedures and the specific review of judgements, estimates, valuations and relevant forecasts.

The parent company's annual financial statements, the annual consolidated Prosegur accounts and quarterly and half-yearly consolidated financial statements are all reviewed by the Audit Committee prior to being prepared by the Board of Directors, in accordance with Article 16 of its Regulations. The Audit Committee reviews any other relevant information prior to publication through the regulatory bodies.

The Board of Directors approves and, where applicable, formulates the financial information presented, which is later published via the Spanish Securities Markets Commission and presented to third parties. Prosegur conducts periodic reviews of the financial information it prepares, as well as of the description of the ICFR, in order to ensure information quality. The Finance Department is in charge of preparing the description of ICFR in coordination with the departments involved. This process culminates in the review by the Audit Committee and it is, therefore, also approved in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, validated by the full Board of Directors.

The Finance Department has described the flow of activities and controls on significant transactions which affect the financial statements. The documentation of these flows defines the applicable rules of action and the information systems used for the process of closing accounts. Personnel involved in the process of preparing financial information are continuously trained and informed with regard to the procedures for the accounting closure of Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounts. The documents detail the basic areas for preparing, reviewing and approving consolidated accounting closures and accounting closures for companies belonging to the Group.

Prosegur discloses financial information to the securities markets on a quarterly basis. The Finance Department is ultimately responsible for financial reporting. In the description of the flow of activities in the accounting closure process, the control activities that ensure the reliability of the information are identified. The corporate areas within the Finance Department analyze and supervise the information prepared.

The Finance Department has documented the risk of error or fraud in financial reporting and the controls that affect all critical processes/sub-processes. These processes cover the various kinds of transaction that may have a material impact on the financial statements (acquisitions, sales, personnel expenses, etc.), and the specific consolidation and reporting process.

In this regard, Prosegur has identified all the processes necessary to prepare the financial information, in which it has used relevant judgements, estimates, valuations and projections, considering all of them to be critical.

The documentation of each of these critical processes comprises:

  • • Flow charts for each of the sub-processes

  • • Risk matrices and controls that include: - Details of the internal procedures and rules approved by the Department, and regulating said sub-processes.

-Description of the key and non-key controls mitigating each of the risks identified. For each control, the following have been identified:

  • • Organizational structures and/or functions of persons in charge of each of the key and non-key controls identified.

  • • Frequency of the controls.

The Information Security Department, headed by the Global CISO, is found under the corporate area of Operations, dependent on the COO, and provides support to all countries in which Prosegur has a presence. The Information Security Department has the following responsibilities:

  • To align the information security objectives with the main strategic business lines

  • To undertake Prosegur's information security as a global activity integrated within the business

  • To coordinate and approve the proposals received for projects linked to information security.

  • To provide the necessary resources for developing information security initiatives.

  • To identify and assess security risks in respect of business needs.

  • To raise the awareness of and train Company employees with regard to information security.

The tasks attributed to the Information Security Department include drawing up the 2021-2023 Strategic Plan, which includes the necessary improvements in such matters and serves as a guide for the ongoing cultural process related to information security. This plan is to be approved in the first quarter of 2021. Control of access to information systems is managed by assigning a personalized username and password. Periodically, users must change their passwords in the systems in accordance with robust configuration measures. The entity has implemented controls in the management of user access to the systems; specifically it has set up controls with regard to registration, deregistration and assignment of privileges to users. Periodic reviews are performed on consolidation user permits and, furthermore, certain accesses and actions by users in the systems can be reviewed on demand.

A procedure has been established for controlling access to the Prosegur Data Processing Center. This access is restricted to authorized personnel and all accesses are registered.

There is a change table process that manages the system production passes for all applications housed in the Prosegur servers.

Prosegur systems and information are backed up and in a redundant infrastructure that allows business continuity.

As part of its continuous improvement, Prosegur will continue to strengthen the information security management processes in all countries and systems with financial impact.

F.3.3 Internal control policies and procedures intended to guide the management of subcontracted activities and those of third parties, as well as those aspects of assessment, calculation or evaluation entrusted to independent experts, which may materially affect financial statements.

  • b) tax advice at subsidiaries for preparing tax returns subject to specific regulations;

  • c) fair value measurements of certain assets, branches of activity or businesses;

  • d) checks of the effectiveness of the money laundering prevention system;

  • e) valuation of the assignment of the purchase price of new companies.

When hiring external advisers, depending on the amounts involved, decision-making processes involve the consideration of at least three proposals from the cost and professional qualification standpoints. Prosegur contracts the services of experts for work that underpins valuations, judgements or accounting calculations only when those experts are registered with the relevant collegiate or similar bodies and are provided by firms of recognized prestige in the market.

In 2020 significant processes were reviewed in relation to financial information in Spain and other European and Latin American subsidiaries.

The Internal Audit Department verifies the state of execution of the recommendations included in its audit reports, including those concerning ICFR verification. In 2020, two half-yearly reports were issued on the state of execution of the recommendations issued to the members of the Audit Committee.

The Risk Committee, as a risk control and management unit of Prosegur guarantees that the risk control and management systems work properly, specifically guaranteeing that all major risks affecting Prosegur are identified, managed and quantified; it actively participates in drawing up the risk strategy and making important decisions about risk management; and it ensures that the risk control and management systems mitigate risks appropriately.

At the same time, external auditors report on possible weaknesses in internal control and opportunities for improvement identified during the course of their work.

In addition, the Chief Financial Officer, responsible for preparing the annual accounts and the intermediate financial information that Prosegur provides to the markets and its supervisory bodies, attends the meetings of the Audit Committee, in order to review and discuss any relevant issue that might arise during the process of preparation and presentation of the regulated financial information.

At each Audit Committee meeting, the Head of Internal Audit regularly presents the conclusions of his or her work verifying the operation and efficacy of the procedures in ICFR, the control weaknesses identified, the recommendations made and the status of execution of the action plans agreed for mitigation thereof.

The Company considers that it is not necessary to establish a maximum number of company boards of which its directors may form part, given that the availability analysis is carried out for each specific case, assessing the specific duties that are performed by each director through a study by the Sustainability, Corporate Governance, Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

That as regards variable remuneration, the policies incorporate limits and administrative safeguards in order to ensure that said remuneration is in line with the work performance of the beneficiaries and are not based solely upon general developments in the markets or in the sector in which the company operates, or other similar circumstances.

Complies

Complies partiallyExplanation Not applicable

The Company considers that the remuneration policy of the Managing Director (single Executive Director) is appropriate, and so far there has been no need to include this limitation, as the duties inherent to the director's post (duty of loyalty and duty of due diligence under articles 225 and 227 of the Ley de Sociedades de Capital - Corporate Enterprises Act) are understood to include the responsibility of each director with respect to the transfer of his or her shares and possible effect of this on the market.

In addition, Article 8 of Prosegur's Internal Regulation on Conduct includes prohibitions relating to market manipulation as a result of the transfer of shares by relevant persons under current law, the Board of Directors considering this regulation sufficient for the purposes of this recommendation. In addition, any family relations between the executive director benefiting from the plan and the controlling shareholder guarantee the alignment of their interests with the long-term interests of the Company.

Due to the above, and taking into account that in practice the executive director benefiting from the plan has not transferred the ownership of a number of shares equivalent to twice his fixed annual remuneration, it is not at present considered necessary to include this expressly in Prosegur's internal regulations.

  • 63. That contracts and agreements include a clause that allows the company to claim a refund of the variable components of the remuneration when the payment was not been adapted to performance conditions or when it was paid taking into account data that later proved to be erroneous.

  • 64. That payments made for contract termination, early or otherwise, not exceed an amount equivalent to two years of total annual remuneration and that they not be paid until the company has verified that the director has fulfilled all established criteria or conditions for payment.

    For the purpose of this recommendation, payments made for contract termination, early or otherwise, include any payments which become claimable or must be paid as a result or on occasion of the termination of the contractual relationship between the director and the company, including amounts not yet vested under long-term saving plans and amounts paid under post-contractual non-competition clauses.
