H. Other information of interest

• 1.Provide a brief detail, if any, on all other relevant aspects in the matter of the corporate governance of the company or entities of the group that have not been included in the other sections of this report, but that the inclusion of which is necessary for the compiling of a more comprehensive and reasonable information on the structure and practices of governance in the entity or group.

In 2013 Abengoa initiated a corporate compliance program in the company with the aim of preventing, detecting and watching out for bad business practices.

The concept of corporate compliance was introduced in observance of international practices and of specific compulsory legal rules and regulations, especially practised in Anglo-Saxon Law. In Spain, until the enactment of the Transparency Law, corporate good governance recommendations were simply as such, recommendations, void of enforceability and legality, while on international markets companies were legally compelled to abide by specific conducts to avoid fraud among other bad practices. As a result of us drawing closer to the international markets, there was need to reconcile the international practices with the Spanish Laws. This led to the introduction of the concept of criminal liability of legal entities.

The objective Abengoa hopes to attain by creating this program is for the board of directors and the management to apply and practice with ethics, legality and efficacy in business activities and transactions (good governance), with a systematic focus by the organization to evaluate and manage risks, as well as to ensure that the organization and its employees comply with the valid laws, existing regulations and standards, including the company’s behavioural standards (regulatory compliance), with Abengoa exercising the due control and providing a strategic vision to tackle the legal needs of the organization. The creation of a regulatory compliance monitoring program by introducing an effective system of good governance and crime prevention is also an inevitable resource for the reputation of Abengoa.

Abengoa’s corporate compliance program establishes standards and procedures for preventing and detecting bad corporate practices with the board of directors acting as the authority supervising the implementation and improvement of the compliance program and creating the internal post of compliance officer. An appropriate corporate compliance program requires an evaluation of the criminal, social and corporate good governance risks, a monitoring authority, a follow-up, action and surveillance program as well as a significant task of continuous training of employees.

• 2.In this section, you may also include any other information, clarification or detail related to the sections set forth above in the report, to the extent that these are deemed relevant and not reiterative.

Specifically, indicate whether the company is subject to non-Spanish legislation with regards to corporate governance and, if so, include the information it is obliged to provide and which is different from that required in this report.

Admission to trade on NASDAQ

The ADS (American Depositary Shares) of Abengoa, SA purchased for Class B Shares were officially admitted to trade on NASDAQ, electronics stock market of American shares, on October 17, 2013. As a consequence thereof Abengoa has to comply with the SEC requirements on the aspect of providing information, which implies reporting to the SEC all relevant information that the CNMV may publish in Spain, as well as having to make certain financial information available to SEC on yearly basis.

International Advisory Board

In 2010, Abengoa, becoming aware of its growing international implications in business transactions, created the International Advisory Board, with the board of directors empowered to select its members. The Advisory Board is a non-ruled voluntary body that renders technical and advisory consultancy services to the board of directors, under which it is organically and functionally subordinate, as consultant and strictly professional adviser; its main function is to serve as support to the board of directors within the scope of the latter’s own competences, collaborating and advising, basically focusing its activities on responding to inquiries made by the Board of Directors in connection to all issues on which the board of directors may seek advice, or even suggesting and making proposals deemed outcome of their experience and analysis. This task of providing consultancy in strategic, environmental and corporate themes is in line with the greater knowledge Abengoa holds in the needs of the various interest groups. It is one of the best indicators of the needs of interest groups

In 2013 the number of the International Advisory Board was increased from 9 to 11 members with the incorporation of Mr. Javier Benjumea Llorente, of the Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP Law Firm (Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, in the US) and of Mr. Alan Garcia Perez and the exit of Mr. Carlos Sebastian Gascón.

The international advisory board comprises of persons of renowned prestige in various matters at the international level. The most suitable profiles are selected based on the criteria of qualifications regardless of gender. The procedure for selecting them is not based on specific interests but on professional merits and profiles.

The members of the advisory board serve for two years, with the board of directors empowered to select its members who can also be re-selected. One of the board members was female, from India, Ms. Pamposh Bhat. Her tenure ended after she served for two years.

Composition and profiles

Whistleblowing Channel

Abengoa and its business units have been operating a whistleblower channel since 2007 pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, whereby interested parties may report to the audits committee possible irregularities regarding accounting, auditing or internal controls over financial reporting. A register is kept of all communications received in relation to the whistleblower, subject to the necessary guarantees of confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information. The Internal Audits team conducts an inquiry into each claim it receives.

In highly technical cases, the company secures the assistance of independent experts, thus ensuring at all times that it has the sufficient means of conducting a thorough investigation and guaranteeing sufficient levels of objectivity when performing the work.

Rights inherent in Class A and B Shares

Article 8 of Abengoa’s Bylaws regulates the different rights inherent in Class A and B shares. The extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on the second call on September 30, 2012, agreed to amend Article 8 of Abengoa’s Bylaws to include a mechanism for voluntarily converting class A shares into class B shares. Below is the aforementioned sub-section of the aforementioned Article 8 which includes the right of voluntary conversion:

“ […] A.3) The Right of conversion into Class B Shares

Each Class A Share entitles its owner to the inherent right to convert it into a Class B Share until December 31, 2017.

Owner may exercise its right of conversion by notifying the company or, better still, as the case may be, the agency designated for such, through the corresponding participating entity of the Securities Registration, Compensation and Liquidation Management Company (Iberclear), through any media that permits the issuance of remittance and reception of receipts, of notification, deemed irrevocably and unconditionally submitted, reflecting the total number of class A shares owned by said owner and the exact number of class A shares over which said owner wishes to exercise the inherent rights of conversion, in order for the Company to execute the agreements necessary for effecting the aforementioned conversion and to subsequently inform the CNMV by issuing the corresponding Notice of Significant Event.

The aforementioned notice shall include the corresponding Certificate of Ownership and Legitimacy for the Class A Shares issued by an entity that must be participant in the Iberclear Management Systems, or through an intermediary or depository or financial entity managing the shares under the terms set forth in the regulations governing securities representation by means of book-entry or through any other equivalent means of accreditation to which the Company grants sufficient validity for that purpose.

The exercise of the inherent conversion rights of a class A shares shall be understood as a deduction in the company’s stock capital in the amount of the difference between the nominal value of the class A shares for which the inherent rights are exercised and the nominal value of the same number of class B shares, an amount that will increase the restricted reserve which the company would already have set aside for that purpose and in accordance with Article 335.c) of the Corporations Act.

The Board of Directors, with the specific faculty of substitution by the Chairman or the Chief Executive, shall be empowered to determine the period, frequency and procedure for exercising the inherent conversion rights, including, if applicable, the decision of adequacy of the aforementioned equivalent means of accreditation, as well as all other aspects that may be deemed necessary for the proper and correct exercise of said right, which shall all be appropriately communicated through the corresponding notice of significant event.

Reinforcement to guarantee minority rights

In it’s relentless struggle to reinforce minority rights, Abengoa submitted a series of bylaw amendments to the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting for approval for the purpose of ensuring that the so-called “defence of minority rights” does not suffer infringements for the mere fact that two different classes of shares exist with different nominal values simply because the lesser nominal value of the class B shares would entail that it is more difficult to obtain the percentages of the stock capital required for the exercise of policy rights. Thus, the general meeting of the shareholders approved the amendments of Abengoa’s bylaws in the manner set forth below to envisage that all rights are exercised considering the number of shares as basis for the percentage, and not the stock capital. These rights, like, for example, the right to convene a shareholders meeting or to request the exercise of corporate liability action, requires the ownership of a specific percentage of stock capital in the nominal sense (in the cited case, 5 %).

Specifically, the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders approved the amendment of the bylaws in order for it to reflect as follows: that shareholders would require to own three hundred and seventy-five (375) shares, regardless of whether class A or B, to attend the general meeting of the company’s shareholders; that shareholders should be allowed to request the publication of a supplement to the call for an ordinary general meeting of shareholders including one or more points on the agenda and to submit proposals of decisions on issues already included or that should be included on the agenda of the convened meeting based on the number of shares owned by the shareholders; that (i) shareholders who own one percent of the voting shares may request the presence of Notary Public to endorse the minutes of the general meetings of shareholders on the basis of the number of shares that they may own; (ii) shareholders who own five percent of voting shares may request the convening of the general meeting of the shareholders to decide on the corporate liability action against directors or to exercise the corporate liability actions without or against the decision of the shareholders’ general meeting; that the company’s board of directors convene a general meeting of the shareholders if requested as such by shareholders representing five percent of the company’s voting shares; that the company’s board of directors may extend the general meeting of the shareholders if requested as such by the shareholders representing five percent of the company’s voting shares and that the company’s board chairman may suspend the rights to information as established in Article 197 of the Corporations Acts if requested as such by shareholders representing less than twenty-five percent of the company’s voting shares.

• 3.The company may also indicate whether it voluntarily adhered to other codes of the principles of ethics or other good practices, international, sector-wise or of other scope. As the case may be, the company shall identify the code in question and the date of adherence thereto.

As a result of our commitment to transparency, in order to continue to ensure the reliability of the financial reporting prepared by the company, we adapted it to the requirements established in section 404 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) (during the year 2007). For another year, we are able to voluntarily submit the internal monitoring system of the whole group to an independent evaluation process conducted by external auditors under the PCAOB (Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) audits standards.

This standard is a compulsory law for all companies listed in the United States and is intended to ensure the reliability of the financial reporting of these companies and to protect the interests of their shareholders and investors by setting up an appropriate internal monitoring system. Thus, and even though none of the Business Units are under obligation to comply with the SOX Law, Abengoa believes it is best for all its companies to comply with said requirements, since said rules complete the risks monitoring model that the company uses.

Likewise, in 2002 Abengoa signed the United Nations World Pact, an international initiative aimed at getting entities to voluntary commit to social responsibility, by implementing the ten principles based on human, labour and environmental rights, and on the fights against corruption

In 2006 Abengoa Peru signed the United Nations World Agreement, an agreement that is part of the principles of strategy, culture, and the daily transactions of our company, and we strive to make a clearer declaration of our commitments - both to our employees, colleagues, clients, as well as to the public in general.

Also, in 2007, the company signed the Caring for Climate initiative, also from the United Nations. Consequently, Abengoa set in motion a system of reporting on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which would permit it to register its greenhouse gas emissions, know the traceability of all its supplies and to certify its products and services.

This Annual Corporate Governance Report was approved by the company’s Board of Directors at its meeting held on: February 20, 2014.

Indicate whether Board Members voted against or abstained from voting for or against the approval of this Report.
