General Information on the report of Corporate Governance

Graphisoft Park SE (1031 Budapest, Záhony utca 7. Cg. 01-20-000002; hereinafter "company") places great emphasis on implementing the Corporate Governance Recommendations and Guidelines, taking into account the relative small size of the group of companies formed by the company and its subsidiaries and its simple organisation structure (average of 19 employees, one- tier board, 5 members of the board of directors). The management of the company continuously improves its operational and monitoring practises.

The board of directors is continuously monitoring the operations of the company. The board of directors is holding its meetings more often than required, applying alternative methods (telephone, or other electronic communication methods), and requiring and receiving continuous information from the executive management (from the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer).

The board of directors and the executive management are performing their duties with continuous legal support, supplementing the necessary time frame and expenditure to ensure that all decisions are prepared responsibly, well founded financially and legally, taking into primary consideration the interests of the shareholders.

The company considers its primary duty to ensure that all shareholders may exercise their shareholders' rights and upholds the equal treatment of the shareholders principle.

The general meeting representing the supreme control of the operation of the company is prepared by the management in compliance with deadlines, through an established schedule laid down in writing, ensuring that all necessary information is available in time for decision making. Similarly to the previous years' practice the board of directors adopts propositions for all submissions on the agenda of the general meeting, further supporting the decision making of the shareholders.
