Board of directors
The Board of Directors is the supervisory body of the company responsible for general management issues, except for those issues that are decided exclusively by the General Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to legislation and the Charter of the company.
Meetings of the Board of Directors (either meeting attendance or contributions by correspondence) are held as and when necessary. The Chairman of the Board convenes meetings on his own initiative, or at the request of a member of the Board of Directors, the Audit Commission, the auditor or the General Director.
The procedure for convening and conducting meetings of the Board of Directors is regulated by the company’s internal document - the Charter and Regulation on the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors identifies priorities for the companys development. When setting priority tasks for the company, the Board of Directors sets benchmark targets for the near and long terms.
At the same time, to be able to efficiently pursue the priority objectives outlined by the Board of Directors, the company needs to analyze the targets while factoring in the market situation, financial status of the company, and other aspects that influence the financial and economic activity of the company.
The Board of Directors conducts this analysis when adopting the annual budget of the company for the following year. This document is based upon the general business plan, marketing plan, and business plan for investment projects implemented by the company, as well as a number of other indicators.
The members of the Board of Directors are elected at the General Meeting of Shareholders following those procedures stipulated under the federal law, and for a term to extend until the next annual meeting. The Board of Directors comprises at least five members.
On June 30, 2011, at the Annual General Meeting of RNT shareholders, five members to the Board of Directors, acting as of nowadays, were elected.
