BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors consists of eight members, of whom four are independent, non-executive members, two were executive officers until December 2006 and one was appointed by a minority of preferred shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting on April 29, 2009. Our Board of Directors generally meets every 45 days or whenever called by its chairman or by any two directors. During 2008, fourteen board meetings were held. Each meeting of the Board of Directors requires a quorum of a minimum of three members, including the chairman or the vice-chairman.
The Board of Directors is responsible for our general policies, for electing our executive officers and supervising their management, and for deliberating on capital increases up to the authorized capital, distributions of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity, investments in other companies, our dissolution or incorporation and the appointment of independent auditors.
