Remunerations of the Board of Directors

 

The Business Companies Act of Argentina (Law N° 19,550), provides that the remuneration to the Board of Directors, where it is not set forth in the Company's by-laws, shall be fixed by the Shareholders' Meetings. The maximum amount of remuneration that the members of the Board are allowed to receive, including salary and other performance-based remuneration of permanent technical-administrative functions, may not exceed 25% of the profits.

 

Such maximum amount is limited to 5% where no dividends are distributed to the Shareholders, and will be increased proportionately to the distribution, until reaching such cap where total profits are distributed.

 

Some of the Group's Directors are hired under the Employment Contract Law N° 20,744. This Act rules on certain conditions of the work relationship, including remuneration, salary protection, working hours, vacations, paid leaves, minimum age requirements, workmen protection and forms of suspension and contract termination. The remuneration of directors for each fiscal year is based on the provisions established by the Business Companies Act, taking into consideration whether such directors perform technical-administrative functions and depending upon the results recorded during the fiscal year. Once such amounts are determined, they should be approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Corporate Service Agreement with Cresud and IRSA CP

 

Considering that IRSA, Cresud and IRSA CP have operating overlapping areas, the Board of Directors considered it convenient to implement alternatives that allow reducing certain fixed costs of its activity, in order to reduce its impact on operating results, taking advantage of and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of the companies in the different areas that make up the operational administration.

 

For this purpose, on June 30, 2004, a Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services ("Framework Agreement") was signed, between IRSA, Cresud and IRSA CP, which was periodically modified, the last update being on June 28, 2019.

 

Under this Framework Agreement, corporate services are currently provided in the following areas: Corporate Human Resources, Administration and Finance, Planning, Institutional Relations, Compliance, Shared Services Center, Real Estate Business Administration, Directory to distribute Real Estate, HR Real Estate Business, Security, Corporate

 

Legal Management, Corporate Environment, Technical Management Infrastructure and Services, Purchasing and Contracting, Management and Enabling, Investments, Government Affairs, Hotels, Fraud Prevention, Bolivar, Proxy, General Management to distribute, Directory Security.

 

Under this agreement, the companies entrusted to an external consultant the semi-annual review and evaluation of the criteria used in the process of liquidating corporate services, as well as the distribution bases and supporting documentation used in the aforementioned process, through the preparation of a semi-annual report.

 

It should be noted that the operation under comment allows Cresud, IRSA and IRSA CP to maintain absolute independence and confidentiality in their strategic and commercial decisions, being the allocation of costs and benefits made on the basis of operational efficiency and equity, without pursuing individual economic benefits for each of the companies.

 

Offices and Shopping Malls spaces leases

 

The offices of our President are located at 108 Bolivar, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
