Individual senior managers compensation disclosure is not required under Chilean law and it is not otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company.

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 Company’s 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 director’s employment.

          In compliance with the current Chilean rules and regulations, a Directors’ Committee was established at the Company on May 23, 2001.  The Committee’s 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 Company’s 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 Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 Director’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

Comparative Summary of Differences In Corporate Governance Standards

          The following table provides a comparative summary of differences in corporate governance practices followed by the Company under Chilean regulations and standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers pursuant to Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

Section

 

NYSE Standards

 

Viña Concha y Toro Practices Pursuant to Chilean Regulations


 


 


303A.01

 

Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors.

 

There is no legal requirement for a majority of independent directors in Chile.  The Company has a non-majority of independent directors and a Directors’ Committee that includes a majority of independent directors.  Their main functions include: (i) to review balance sheets and financial statements and reports from accounting oversight bodies and auditors; (ii) to propose outside auditors to the Board; (iii) to review background information regarding the Company’s operations with related persons; and (iv) to review managers’ and chief executive officers’ compensation plans.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.02

 

Independence Test

 

Directors/members of the Directors’ Committee are independent when he/she would have been elected even after subtracting the votes from the controlling shareholder and persons related to the controlling shareholder.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.03

 

Non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management

 

In light of legal inconsistency between performing the functions of director and those of general manager, these sessions are unnecessary.  In compliance with local regulations, the Company has no directors with dual directorial/managerial functions.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.04

 

Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, whose activities must include identifying qualified individuals to serve as board members and developing a set of corporate governance principles. A written charter is also required.

 

This committee is not contemplated as such in the Chilean regulations.  Pursuant to Chilean regulations, the Company has a Directors’ Committee.  Nominations for Board members are made at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, while the Board nominates the members of the Directors’ Committee and of the Audit Committee.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.05

 

Listed companies must have a Compensation Committee composed entirely of independent directors, and its activities must include reviewing and approving the goals/objectives of the CEO and other officers’ compensation.  A written charter is also required.

 

This committee is not contemplated as such in the Chilean regulations, but according to Chilean law, the Directors’ Committee reviews the remunerations and compensation plans of managers and chief executive officers. The Board sets the managers’ objectives, evaluates their commitment and determines compensation. Per article 50bis of Law No. 18.046 on corporations, the Board reviews the aforementioned remuneration plans on an annual basis.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.06
303A.07

 

Listed companies must have an Audit Committee with a minimum of three members, certain requirements of independence and a written charter.

 

This committee is not contemplated as such under Chilean regulations. However, the Company has an Audit Committee as required by Sarbanes Oxley. The Audit Committee has three members. Two are independent and one is relying on the exemption at Rule 10A-3 (b) (1) (iv) (D) to the Listing Standards Relating to Audit Committees of Rule 10A-3.  The Audit Committee duties include those listed under 303A.01.

 

 

 

 

 

303A.08

 

Shareholders must have the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans involving directors, executives, employees or other service providers.

 

Chilean law contemplates the option to implement compensation plans or programs for employees via stock options, but presently, the Company does not include the granting of shares within its remuneration policies.  Directors, members of the Directors’ Committee, managers and any other officers can obtain Company shares only at their own initiative, which in turn should be timely reported to the Chilean Securities and Insurance Supervisor and the Company.

52


303A.09

 

Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. The following subjects must be addressed:  (i) director qualification standards; (ii) director responsibilities; (iii) director access to management; (iv) director compensation; (v) director orientation and continuing education; (vi) management succession; and (vii) annual performance evaluation of the Board.

 

Chilean law does not require that such corporate governance guidelines be adopted. Director responsibilities and access to management and independent advisors are directly provided for by applicable law.  Director compensation is approved at the annual shareholders’ meeting pursuant to applicable law.

303A.10

 

Listed companies must adopt and disclose a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers and employees. The Code must be printed on the Company website or otherwise available for shareholders to obtain a copy.

 

This code is not contemplated as such in the Chilean regulations.  The Company has a code of business conduct and ethics entitled “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of Concha y Toro,” known to directors, officers and employees whose observance and compliance is regulated by the Deputy Management of the Controller and Audit-General.  The Code is available on the Company website at www.conchaytoro.com .
Pursuant to Chilean labor law, the Company has an Order, Health and Safety Rule of Procedure distributed to each employee and available at Human Resources.  Covered topics include employee work schedules and conduct obligations/prohibitions.

303A.12

 

Each listed company’s CEO must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards.

 

Not contemplated by the Chilean regulations.  This requirement is met by the Company through the CEO certification to the effect that he is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards.  The Company submits Written Affirmations annually to the NYSE, as required by the NYSE.

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 Company’s 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 month’s 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.

          All of the Company’s administrative employees participate, directly or indirectly, in an annual bonus pool equal to 4.0% of net profits in proportion to their salary.
