Our governance structure and responsibility in the choice of content The Board of Directors of PRISA has established the following committees: (i) an Executive Delegate Committee, (ii) an Audit Committee, (iii) a Corporate Governance Committee, (iv) an Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and (v) a Technological Transformation Committee. Details of the composition and responsibilities of the Executive Delegate Committee and of the other committees are available in the ACGR. The Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and the Technological Transformation Committee have all published reports describing their functions and activities over the course of 2015. As for the decision-making processes by the governing structure of PRISA with regards to the creation and distribution of content, and those procedures ensuring editorial independence, the Board does not participate in the processes of defining content, although some of the executive directors, non-executive directors and various members of senior management of the Company do form part of the highest-level management bodies of the business units and / or hold executive functions in some of these. • In the areas of Press and Radio, PRISA has set up an Editorial Committee made up of PRISA’s Executive Chairperson, the CEO, senior management of the abovementioned business units and of the Group, as well as longstanding journalists. The Editorial Committee defines the editorial line of the group on current affairs without involving any persons who may have economic and / or political interests. The Editorial Committee is the guarantor of the independence of the group. Likewise, the publisher of El País has an Editorial Statute, approved by the general meeting of shareholders of PRISA, and its own Editorial Committee, a publisher’s body representing professionals. The statute states that El País rejects all pressure from individuals, political parties, and economic, religious or ideological groups seeking to make the news serve their own interests. This independence, and the non-manipulation of news, safeguards the rights of readers, whose protection is the ultimate mission of the publisher. • With regard to Media Capital, in Portugal editorial independence is protected by law in matters affecting the work of journalists and the news and information they produce. Therefore, since such guarantees are contemplated in the Constitution, as well as in laws and statutes covering the publishing sector, there is no single committee that specifically addresses journalistic content. • With regards to publishing, the contents of all books published by Santillana worldwide are conditioned by the curricula set by the governments of each country for each school subject. Within Santillana there are corporate, global and national committees which meet regularly and continuously, to make decisions regarding the the editorial process: publishing plans, business and company objectives, and goals in the areas of creation, communication, innovation etc. All Santillana publishing houses have editorial committees for dealing with the content to be published, communications, innovations offered, as well as
