Corporate governance

In accordance with Danish legislation, TDC NET has a two-tier management structure consisting of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management of the company and for appointing a competent Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is responsible for the day-to-day management of the company. The responsibilities and duties between the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee are clearly outlined and described in the Rules of Procedures for the Board and the Rules of Procedures for the Executive Committee respectively. TDC NET shareholders have the final authority of the company and exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting, where they appoint the Board of Directors and the independent auditor and complete tasks such as approving the annual report. Rules on governance, including share capital, general meetings, shareholder decisions, election of members to the Board of Directors etc. are described in the Article of Associations which are available here.

Recommendations from the committee on Corporate Governance

As an advocate for transparency, TDC NET has chosen to publish a Corporate Governance Statement based on the recommendations in line with the “comply-or-explain” principal cf. section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act. The statement is based on the Good corporate governance recommendations from December 2020. Read more in the “comply-or-explain” statement

Board of Directors

TDC NET Board of Directors consists of 9 members, 6 elected by the General Meeting and 3 elected by the employees.

The board members elected by the General Meeting are up for election every year and may be re-elected. Pursuant to Danish legislation, TDC NET employees are entitled to representation on the Company’s Board of Directors in the form of employee elected board members equivalent to half of the total number of board members elected at the General Meeting. The employee elected board members are elected for a four-year period, and have the same rights, obligations and responsibilities as the board members elected by the General Meeting. The current employee representatives were elected to the Board of Directors in 2019 and their period will expire in 2023.

The Board of Directors believes that diversity in general strengthens the board and seeks to reflect this balance in the composition of the board. As part of the Board of Directors’ annual evaluation, the Board also assesses whether the board members have the required skills and experience or if members’ expertise should be updated in some respects.

In April 2022 the Board of Directors reached is objective that among board member elected by the General Meeting both genders shall be represented by at least 33% by the end of 2023, as the gender composition among the board members elected by the general meeting reached 4-2 members (67% vs 33%). By the composition the Board of Directors is no longer obliged to set a new objective, why the Board of Directors have chosen not to, however, the Board of Directors will keep their focus on a diverse Board.
