C. Board Practices
Members of the current Board of Directors were elected at the annual general shareholders meeting held on April 26, 2005, and will serve until April 2008, assuming no vacancies occur. The Companys executive officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and hold office at the discretion of the Board.
There are no service contracts between the directors of the Company and the Company or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of a directors employment.
In compliance with the current Chilean rules and regulations, a Directors Committee was established at the Company on May 23, 2001. The Committees members were renewed in April 26, 2005. The designated Directors Committee members are Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres (president), Christian Skibsted-Hansen Cortés and Rafael Guilisasti Gana. Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres and Christian Skibsted-Hansen were elected directors with votes different from the Controlling Group. The primary functions of the Directors Committee include:
|
reviewing balance sheets and financial statements and reports from accounting oversight bodies and auditors;
|
|
proposing outside auditors to the Board;
|
|
examining background information regarding the Companys operations with related persons;
|
|
reviewing managers and executive officers compensation plans; and
|
|
monitoring internal control systems used at Viña Concha y Toro and its affiliated companies.
|
The Directors Committee convened on 10 separate occasions during the fiscal year 2005. Among the issues addressed were:
|
Assessment of the External Auditors reports on the Company, the Balance Sheet and other financial statements management put forward;
|
|
The proposal of external auditors and credit risk rating companies that are then suggested to the shareholders;
|
|
Examination of background information on business operations conducted during the year relating to articles 44 and 89 of the Stock Company Law and, for the same purpose, review of the auditors report commissioned by the Committee;
|
|
Examination of the system of remuneration and the compensation plans for managers and senior management;
|
|
Analysis of in-house control systems used at Viña Concha y Toro and its affiliated companies;
|
|
Preliminary audit report for fiscal 2005; and
|
|
Designation and hiring services of independent consultants for the Directors Committee;
|
An annual budget of Ch$20 million for Committee operations was approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting. In 2005, the Committee contracted services of independent consultants costing Ch$8 million.
The Company is subject to United States securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (as implemented by rules and regulations of the SEC, Sarbanes Oxley), passed into law in 2002 to restore investor confidence in the wake of several unprecedented corporate scandals and collapses. Sarbanes-Oxley provisions are wide ranging and include provisions affecting disclosures by public companies and corporate governance.
In accordance with the implementation period for Sarbanes-Oxley, on July 28, 2005 the Company designated from among its members the persons who would comprise the Audit Committee required by Sarbanes-Oxley. The members of the Audit Committee are: Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres, Christian Skibsted-Hansen Cortés and Rafael Guilisasti Gana, who are the same directors who comprise the Directors Committee. Sergio de la Cuadra Fabres and Christian Skibsted-Hansen are independent directors while Rafael Guilisasti is not independent. Mr. Guilisasti is relying on an exemption of the Listing Standards relating to Audit Committees of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
51
We currently do not have a separate remuneration committee, however, the Companys Directors Committee carries out the functions usually performed by this committee. It also promotes auditor independence by prohibiting auditors from providing certain non-audit services while conducting audits. The Companys existing oversight and corporate governance practices fully honor the spirit and requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley reforms in many respects. For instance, auditor independence has been strengthened with the adoption of an auditor independence policy by the Company. See Item 16.A. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Companys Board of Directors is committed to implementing measures that will promote investor confidence and market integrity. In response to Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company has formalized a methodology to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information disclosed to the market. The Company is committed to complying with the laws and regulations applicable in all countries in which the Company operates. Upon enactment of new laws and regulations resulting from, or coming into force from the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, the Company will adjust its corporate governance structure in a way so as to ascertain full compliance.

D. Employees
As of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Company Chilean operation had 1,640, 1,611 and 1,708 employees, respectively. Personnel employed in the foreign subsidiaries totaled 241 employees. Of the Chilean workforce at December, 2005, 703 were laborers and 1,005 held administrative and sales positions. The Company also hires temporary workers during the harvesting season, which in 2005 averaged 1,426 temporary workers.
Eight labor unions represent an aggregate of approximately 427 of the Companys employees (approximately 84 administrative employees, 59 sales employees, and 284 plant employees). Labor relations with unionized personnel are governed by collective bargaining agreements negotiated in 2004-2005 that expire in 2006- 2009. The Company believes that it currently has a good working relationship with its labor unions; however, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of any future negotiations with such labor unions.
In certain circumstances, the Company pays severance benefits equivalent to five labor days for each year of services rendered by the employee. The Company has agreed with 1 labor union (representing 13 of its workers) to pay such severance benefits to their members in all circumstances. Additionally, the Company has agreed with the 70 employees covered by one collective bargaining agreement to pay the equivalent of 5 days salary for each year of service in all circumstances. Under Chilean law, all employees who are terminated for reasons other than misconduct are entitled to the basic payment of one months salary for each year worked, or a six-month portion thereof, subject to a limit of 11 months severance pay for employees hired after August 4, 1981. Severance payments to employees hired before August 14, 1981 are not subject to this limit.
The Company does not maintain any pension or retirement programs for its employees. Workers in Chile are covered by a national pension law which establishes a system of independent pension plans administered by the
Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones
(Pension Fund Administrators). The Company has no liability for the performance of the pension plans or any pension payments to be made to the employees in Chile.
All employees, including management, are entitled to a discount of 30% off the retail price on wine purchases from Company-owned facilities. Each employee may buy no more than 2 cases per month.
