Banco Santander, S.A. ("Banco Santander" or the "Bank"),
pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Market Law, hereby
releases the following:
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
Banco Santander's board of directors has resolved, at the
proposal of the appointments committee, to appoint Ms Gina Diez
Barroso as a new independent director after having obtained the
required regulatory authorisations.
Ms Gina Diez Barroso, a Mexican entrepreneur, is the founder and
president of Diarq Group, a Mexican company devoted to architecture
and design that carries out real estate projects in Mexico and the
United States, as well as of Universidad Centro, Mexico City's
first university specialising in creative studies. She has a long
career dating back more than 20 years in the real estate and
education sectors, in addition to the experience she acquired in
banking as an independent director of Banco Santander Mexico. She
also has extensive knowledge of responsible business and
sustainability as a result of having been a charter member and
trustee of foundations focusing on education, gender diversity and
social support.
Ms Gina Diez Barroso will fill the vacancy left by Mr Rodrigo
Echenique, who has given notice of his resignation as director
after 32 years and a long career at the Santander Group, and after
having stepped down from his executive positions as vice chairman
of the Bank and chairman of Santander Spain in May 2019.
Her appointment will be submitted for ratification at the next
general shareholders' meeting of Banco Santander.
With the addition of Ms Gina Diez Barroso, the board of
directors of Banco Santander will continue to be made up of 15
members, 60% of whom are independent directors. Furthermore, 40% of
the board will once again be women, with which the board will again
reach the target of ensuring that both genders' representation
remains between 40% and 60%, after the percentage for women had
temporarily fallen below the target in October 2020. Santander's
board is diverse in terms of gender, nationality (Spanish, British,
Brazilian, American, Mexican and Portuguese) and in the sectors
represented (financial, industrial, technological and
academic).
