Corporate
Governance

Board of Directors
The administration of the Company is the responsibility of a Board of Directors, which is currently made up of six (6) regular directors and no designated alternates. Telesites’ bylaws stipulate that the Board of Directors must have between five and twenty-one directors and up to an equal number of alternate directors. Directors need not be shareholders, but a majority of the directors and their alternates must be Mexican citizens and elected by Mexican shareholders.

Directors and their alternates are elected or reelected at each annual general shareholders’ meeting. In accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Act (LMV), qualifying the independence of Telesites’ directors is the responsibility of Telesites’ shareholders, though the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) may challenge this qualification. Pursuant to our bylaws and the Mexican Securities Market Act, at least 25% of Telesites’ directors must be independent. Currently close to 70% of our directors are independent, a proportion significantly higher than that required by law. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be legally called to order when a majority of its members are present.

Our bylaws also state that the members of the Board of Directors are elected for a term of one year. Pursuant to the General Commercial Corporations Law (LGSM), however, members of the Board remain in their positions after the expiration of their terms for up to an additional thirty (30) -day period if new members are not elected and substitutes have either not been designated for the departing member, or have not yet assumed their duties. Furthermore, under certain circumstances provided for under the LMV, the Board of Directors may elect temporary directors who then may be ratified or replaced at the shareholders’ meetings.

The following is a list of the current members of the Board of Directors of Telesites, their position on the Board, their business experience and other board experience, appointed to serve for the period from April 2021 to April 2022. Shareholders ratified these board members’ positions in the General Ordinary Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of April 29, 2021.

Verónica Ramírez Villela and Eriván Urióstegui Hernández serve as secretary and secretary pro tem, respectively, of the Board of Directors of Telesites, but are not members of that board. We believe that the participation of a woman in these activities from the time of our founding promotes a philosophy of inclusiveness without distinction to gender in the formation of our governance bodies.

There is no relationship, by blood or by marriage, between members of the Company’s Board of Directors and its senior executives.

The Company does not maintain pension, retirement or other such plans for members of the Board of Directors, senior executives or other parties that may be considered related to the Company.

Audit and Corporate Practices Committee
The LMV obligates every publicly-traded company to have an audit committee made up of at least three independent members appointed by the Board of Directors (except for companies controlled by a single person or business group owning 50% or more of its capital stock, in which case a majority of the members of the Corporate Practices Committee must be independent). The Audit Committee (together with the Board of Directors, which has additional obligations) replaces the statutory auditor, a position formerly required under the terms of the General Commercial Corporations Law.

The Audit and Corporate Practices Committee is made up of the following individuals (all of them independent board members according to the LMV definition).
