CHAPTER III. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD

Article 7. Categories of Directors

1. Directors are classified in the following categories:

  1. Executive Directors
    Executive Directors are those Directors that perform management functions within GRUPO LOGISTA or the companies in its Group, whatever the legal relationship maintained with them.
    A director will be considered as executive director if he carries out management functions and at the same time is or represents a significant shareholder or a shareholder who is already represented in the Board of Directors.
    Notwithstanding the above, the Directors who are part of the senior management or directors in parent companies of the Company (in each case whether direct or indirect) shall be considered as Directors representing significant shareholders.
    Non-executive Directors are all of the other Directors of the Company. They may be Directors representing significant shareholders, independent, or other External Directors.
  2. Directors representing significant shareholders
    Directors representing significant shareholders are those who:
    1. Have a stake in shares equal to or above that considered significant by law or who have been appointed due to their position as shareholders, even if the stake in the company does not meet the amount stated.
    2. Those representing shareholders mentioned in section a) above.

For the purposes of this definition, it is presumed that a Director represents a shareholder when:

  1. Said director has been appointed exercising the right to proportional representation.
  2. He is a Director, senior manager, employee or non-occasional service provider of said shareholder or the companies belonging to its group.
  3. Company documents suggest the shareholder assumes that the director has been appointed by it or that the director represents the shareholder.

10 de 41

Translation for information purposes only

    1. The director is the spouse, person with whom a relationship of mutual affection exists, or relative up to the second degree of the significant shareholder.
  1. Independent directors
    Independent Directors are those who may develop functions without being influenced by their relationship with GRUPO LOGISTA or its group, its shareholders or managers due to their personal and professional circumstances.
  2. Other External Directors
    Non-executive Directors not included in the two categories described above.

2. Independent Director posts will be barred to any of the following persons:

  1. Those who have been an employee or executive Director for GRUPO LOGISTA Group companies, except in the event three or five years have elapsed, respectively, since the termination of this relationship.
  2. Those who have received any amount or benefit from GRUPO LOGISTA or GRUPO LOGISTA Group for an item which is not Directors' Compensation, except in the event that this amount is insignificant for the Director.
    For the purposes of this section, dividends and pension compensation which the Director receives from his prior professional or work relationship will not be taken into account, as long as said compensation is not conditional and, as a consequence, that the company paying this compensation cannot cancel, amend or change its payment due date at its discretion without incurring a breach of its obligations.
  3. Those who are or have been partners of an external auditor or responsible for an auditor's report in the prior three years, irrespective of whether this was GRUPO LOGISTA's audit report in said period, or the auditor's report for any other company of GRUPO LOGISTA Group.
  4. Those who are executive Directors or in senior management in any other company in which an executive director or senior manager of GRUPO LOGISTA has a post as external director.
  5. Those who maintained or have maintained a significant business relationship with GRUPO LOGISTA or any company in GRUPO LOGISTA Group in the past year, irrespective of whether this was in their own name or as a significant shareholder, director or senior manager of an institution which has maintained or maintains such a relationship.
    Business relationships include relationships as a supplier of goods and services, including financial services and consulting or advisory services.
  6. Those who are significant shareholders, executive Directors or directors of an organisation which receives donations from GRUPO LOGISTA or GRUPO LOGISTA Group or has received such donations in the prior three years.
    Foundation directors are not included in the clause above.

11 de 41

Translation for information purposes only

    1. Spouses, or persons with whom a relationship of mutual affection exists, or relative up to the second degree of an executive director or senior manager of GRUPO LOGISTA.
    2. Those who have not been proposed for appointment or re-election by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee.
    3. Those who have been a Director for a continuous term, exceeding twelve years.
    4. Those who are in any of the circumstances described in sections a), e), f) or g) with regard to a significant shareholder or a shareholder with representation on the Board. In the event of a family relationship such as that described in section g), the limitation not only applies to shareholders, but also applies to Directors representing major shareholders in the companies in which a stake is held.
      Directors representing major shareholders who lose their position when the stake is sold by the shareholder they represent may only be re-elected as Independent Directors when the shareholder who proposed their appointment has sold the entirety of its shares in GRUPO LOGISTA.
      A Director owning a stake in GRUPO LOGISTA may be elected as an Independent Director as long as all the conditions described in this section are met and the stake is not significant.
  1. The nature of each Director should be explained by the Board before the General Shareholders Meeting which will effectuate or ratify their appointment and confirm this appointment or, if applicable, it will review the corporate governance report annually, following its verification by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee.
  2. In particular, the Board, with a previous report from the Appointment and Remuneration Committee, will be responsible for determining, on an annual basis, when the Corporate Governance Report is done, and on the basis of the information provided by the Director, or as publicly available, whether such Director continues to comply with the conditions of independence set forth in paragraph 2 of this article.

Article 8. Qualitative Membership

1. Notwithstanding the proposal rights of shareholders, the Board of Directors, exercising its duties at the instance of the General Shareholders' Meeting and in filling vacancies, it will ensure:

  1. That Directors representing significant shareholders and independent Directors should constitute an ample majority on the Board of Directors
  2. That the number of executive Directors is the minimum required, taking account of the complexity of the group of GRUPO LOGISTA and the ownership interests they control.
  3. That the percentage of Directors representing significant shareholders out of all non- executive Directors should be no greater than the proportion between the ownership stake of the shareholders they represent and the remainder of the Company's capital
  4. That the number of Independent Directors is, at least, a third of the total number of Directors.

12 de 41

Translation for information purposes only

2. The Board of Directors will ensure that the procedures for selection of its members favour diversity of gender, experience and knowledge and do not suffer from implicit bias that could imply any discrimination. In particular, they must facilitate the selection of female directors.

Article 9. Number of Directors

  1. The Board of Directors will be formed by the number of Directors determined by the General Shareholders Meeting within the limits set by GRUPO LOGISTA's By-Laws and the Law.
  2. The Board will propose a number of Directors to the General Meeting which, in accordance with GRUPO LOGISTA's changing circumstances is the most suitable number in order to ensure the proper representation and effective participation in and functioning of the Board of Directors. The number suggested will never exceed fifteen.

CHAPTER IV. STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

In the event there were no Vice-Chairmen, the independent Director with the oldest appointment will deputise, unless the Board, in advance or where such circumstance occurs, appoints a Director.
  2. If the Chairman of the Board acts as an executive Director, the Board of Directors, with the abstention of the executive Directors, must necessarily appoint a coordinating director from among the independent Directors, which director will be specifically empowered to request a call of the Board of Directors or inclusion of new points on the agenda for a Meeting already called, to chair the Board of Directors in the absence of the Chairman or the Vice Chairman; to coordinate and meet with the non-executive Directors, giving voice to their concerns; to coordinate the Chairman's succession plan and, if applicable, to lead the periodic evaluation of the Chairman; and to maintain contacts with investors and shareholders to hear their views and develop a balanced understanding of their concerns, especially those that have to do with the Company's corporate governance.

  3. The Managing Director, by delegation of the Board of Directors, will be responsible for the management of GRUPO LOGISTA, and will hold the highest management and executive faculties of GRUPO LOGISTA.

Article 13. The Secretary of the Board

    1. Keeping the records of the Board of Directors, reflecting the conduct of meetings in the minute books and certifying the content thereof and the resolutions adopted.
    2. Ensuring that the actions of the Board of Directors comply with applicable regulations and the provisions of the By-Laws, the other internal regulations and the GRUPO

  3. In the absence of the Secretary and the Deputy-Secretary, the Director appointed by the Board of Directors, from those attending at the relevant meeting shall act as Secretary of the meeting.

Section 2. Committees of the Board of Directors

Article 15. The Board Committees

  1. Without prejudice to the power of the Board of Directors to designate and permanently delegate whatever powers it considers appropriate to one or several Directors, either individually (Chief Executive Officers) or to several Directors collectively (Executive Committee or Delegated Committee), there will be set up, necessarily, an Audit and Control Committee in accordance with the provisions of Article 43 of the Bylaws, and an Appointments and Remuneration Committee in accordance with the provisions of Article 43 bis of the Bylaws. The functions of these two committees will be exclusively those of information, advice and suggestions about the matters described in the articles below.
    The appointment of members of the Audit and Control Committee and of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee will be made by the Board of Directors, and those members must all be non-executive Directors. The members of both Committees will cease in their posts upon their cessation as Directors, or when the Board so decides.
    The Secretary of those Committees will be the Secretary of the Board of Directors, and failing that, will be the Deputy Secretary, if any.
  2. The Appointments and Remuneration Committee will evaluate the profiles of the people best suited to form part of the various Committees, and will make the corresponding proposals to the Board. The Board will appoint members of Committees after taking into consideration the knowledge, skills and experience of the Directors and the tasks to be performed by each Committee.

15 de 41

Translation for information purposes only

The Audit and Control Committees and the Appointment and Remuneration Committees will each appoint a Chairman from among their members that are independent Directors, and will meet when convened by that Chairman. The said Committees will prepare an annual plan of action, that will include the main activities of each Committee during the fiscal year, for which they will be accountable to the Board. In any matter not specifically provided for, the rules of operation established by these Regulations with regard to the Board will apply, provided that they are compatible with the nature and function of the Committee.
    The conclusions or proposals formulated in the meetings of these Committees will be recorded in minutes which will be available to all the Directors. The Committees will give accounts of their activities in the first plenary session of the Board of Directors after their meetings, responding of the work performed.
  2. Additionally, the Board of Directors may establish other internal Committees whose functions will be determined by the Board itself. Their members will be appointed by the Board from among the non-executive Directors, with a majority of independent Directors, taking into account the knowledge, skills and experience of the Directors and the duties of each Committee.

The proposals for re-election of Directors that the Board of Directors decides to present to the General Shareholders' Meeting shall be subject to a formal procedure, which must necessarily include a report issued by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee in which the quality of work and dedication to the post of the proposed Directors during the preceding term of office is evaluated.
  2. The Board of Directors shall endeavour to ensure that the non-executive Directors who are re-elected do not always remain assigned to the same Committee.

Article 25. Term of Office

  1. Directors shall remain in their posts for the maximum term of office stipulated in the By- Laws, and may be re-elected one or more times for periods of equal maximum length.
  2. Directors appointed by co-option by the Board of Directors will remain in office for the term indicated in article 22.2 of these Regulations.

Article 26. Removal of Directors

  1. Directors shall leave their posts when the term for which they were appointed ends and when so decided at the General Shareholders' Meeting, or when the Board of Directors requests it pursuant to section 2 below, and shall cease in the use of the attributes accorded them by Law or by the By-Laws.
  2. Directors must place their post at the disposal of the Board of Directors and formally resign as a Director, if the Board of Directors considers it appropriate based on the following counts:
    1. When they are removed from the executive posts to which their appointment as Directors was associated;
    2. When they are involved in any of the scenarios of incompatibility or prohibition envisaged by the Law;

29 de 41

Translation for information purposes only

    1. When Directors have performed acts that are contrary to the diligence with which they are obliged to perform their duties, infringed their duties and obligations as Directors;
    2. When their presence on the Board could jeopardise the interests of GRUPO LOGISTA or cause serious damage to GRUPO LOGISTA's good name. In particular, Directors should inform the Board of any criminal charges brought against them and the progress of any subsequent trial;
    3. When, after analysis by the Board itself, the Board determines that there are situations affecting the Director, whether or not relating to his performance in the Company, which damage the Company's credit and reputation.
      For this purpose, the Director shall immediately inform the Board of any situation affecting him/her which could damage such credit and reputation and, in particular, of any criminal cases in which they appear as prosecuted, as well as, where appropriate, of their procedural vicissitudes. The Board of Directors should open an investigation as soon as possible and, in light of the particular circumstances, decide, following a report of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, whether or not to take any measures, such as opening an internal investigation, requesting the resignation of the Director or proposing his/her dismissal
      The Board should give a reasoned account of all such determinations in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, unless there are special circumstances to justify it, which must be recorded in the minutes. This is detrimental to the information that the Company is to disseminate, if appropriate, at the time of the adoption of the corresponding measures.
    4. When, a Director representing a significant shareholder notifies GRUPO LOGISTA, at any time, of the decision of the shareholder not to reappoint him at the end of his term, or when the significant shareholder transfers, all its shareholding in GRUPO LOGISTA. Additionally, if such shareholders reduce their stakes, thereby losing some of their entitlement to appoint Directors, the latter's number should be reduced accordingly.
  1. The Board of Directors may only propose the removal of independent Directors before the expiry of their tenure as mandated by the by-laws, where they find just cause, based on a previous report from the Appointment and Remuneration Committee.
    In particular, just cause will be presumed when Directors take up new posts or responsibilities that prevent them from allocating sufficient time to the work of a Board member, or cause them to be in breach of their fiduciary duties or come under one of the disqualifying grounds for classification as independent enumerated in the applicable legislation. Such removal of independent Directors may also be proposed when a takeover bid, merger or similar corporate transaction alters the Company's capital structure.
  2. Directors who give up their place before their tenure expires, through resignation or otherwise, should state their reasons in a letter to be sent to all members of the Board. Whether or not such resignation is disclosed as a material event, the motivating factors should be explained in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.
