DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY AS OF FEBRUARY 25, 2008
General declaration by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of COLEXON Energy AG with regard to the Corporate Governance Code
The
Executive and Supervisory Board of COLEXON Energy AG (hereinafter
referred to as "Company") hereby submit the following declaration of
conformity pursuant to section 161 AktG with reference to the
recommendations of the "Government Commission of the German Corporate
Governance Code":
Declaration of Confomity pursuant to §161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)
The
Executive and Supervisory Boards of COLEXON Energy AG fundamentally
welcome the intention of the Government Commission's German Corporate
Governance Code, giving transparent guidelines as a valuable guide and
action assistance for normal management. In future, we will disclose
and elucidate any individual deviations to the recommendations of the
Code through our Declarations of Conformity.
This said, the
Executive and Supervisory Boards of COLEXON Energy AG declare that in
the future it shall be corresponded to the behavior recommendations of
the Code Commission deployed by the German Federal Government regarding
management and monitoring under the following conditions:
Deviations from the German Corporate Governance Code version of 14th June, 2007:
-
The company considers the electronic transmission of the invitation to
the General Meeting to be sufficiently carried out by its publication
on the company’s website.
- The German Corporate Governance Code
recommends for Directors and Officers Liability Insurances (D&0)
which the company contracts for its members of the Executive and
Supervisory Board to include an excess. The COLEXON Energy AG is not of
the opinion that such a measure would improve dedication and
responsibility of the members of the Executive and Supervisory Board.
The D&O Insurance contract therefore does not carry such a
provision.
- The German Corporate Governance Code recommends the
creation of Supervisory Board committees. Due to the size of the
company and the fact that the Supervisory Board only consists of three
members, COLEXON Energy AG refrain from forming special Supervisory
Board committees.
