Corporate Governance refers to responsible corporate management and oversight aimed at generating long-term added value. Verbio SE promotes transparent communication with investors, financial markets, business partners, employees, and the public. The Supervisory Board and Management Board attach great importance to ensuring good Corporate Governance, and are committed to the German Corporate Governance Code (Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex—DCGK). The DCGK provides recommendations and suggestions for the management and supervision of German listed companies.
In accordance with § 289a of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch—HGB) introduced by the German Accounting Law Modernization Act (Bilanzrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz—BilMoG) of May 28, 2009, listed stock corporations must either include a statement on Corporate Governance in their management report, or make such a statement publicly available on the Company’s website.
This statement on Corporate Governance must include a reproduction of the declaration of conformity pursuant to § 161 AktG, and contain relevant information on Corporate Governance practices and a description of the working methods of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, as well as the composition and working methods of their committees.
Since the financial year 2020/2021, in accordance with the amended recommendation F.4 of the DCGK Verbio SE has no longer prepared a separate declaration of conformity in accordance with § 161 AktG. Since that time, the information previously disclosed in the declaration of conformity has been provided in the Company’s statement on Corporate Governance.
The German Investor Protection Improvement Act (Anlegerschutzverbesserungsgesetz) sets out expanded obligations to report and publish securities transactions in shares and financial instruments entered into by certain persons.
Transactions with a transaction volume of EUR 20,000 or more within a calendar year must be reported.
In addition to the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, managers working in the Group who have control or decision-making functions and persons who are closely related to the aforementioned board members and managers are subject to reporting requirements.
