This is detailed in Note 1 of the financial statements.
Regulatory Compliance: Due to the state of health emergency, Board and Supervisory Committee minutes from March 19, 2020, to the date of the meeting were not transcribed or signed in the relevant physical books, though resolutions were adopted remotely.
Guidance, Risks, and Management Commentary
