Proceedings and allocation of portfolios

The Management Board of Energie AG Oberösterreich is made up of three members, manages the Group's affairs and represents Energie AG Group externally. In addition to the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), the Commercial Code (Unternehmensgesetzbuch), and the Articles of Association, the actions of the Management Board and Supervisory Board are governed by their respective rules of procedure. The Rules of Procedure of the Management Board regulate the collaboration among the members of the Management Board, the Management Board's information and reporting duties, and transactions that require approval from the Supervisory Board. The Rules of Procedure of the subsidiaries are based on those of the Management Board and contain equivalent or similar provisions. The allocation of portfolios between members of the Management Board is approved by the Supervisory Board and defines the areas of responsibility of the individual members of the Management Board without prejudicing the Board's overall responsibility. On account of the changes to the Management Board as of 1 January 2023, the allocation of portfolios between members of the Management Board was determined by the Supervisory Board on an interim basis at its meeting held on 20 December 2022. The newly composed Management Board has now ruled on a new allocation of portfolios. This was approved by the Supervisory Board at its meeting on 28 September 2023.
