The Secretary of the Foundation is responsible for convening the meetings of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, in accordance with the instructions of the President, drawing up and signing the minutes of the Board meetings, ensuring good governance, regulatory compliance, efficiency, and transparency of the Foundation’s corporate bodies, keeping the Foundation’s documentation, and duly recording the proceedings of the Board meetings in the Board’s minute book. The duties of Secretary are assumed by Uría Menendez Abogados S.L.P. during 2026 and in order to avoid the concentration of the functions of President and Secretary in the same person, the functions of the Secretary will be assumed by Mr. Miguel Cremades Schulz (“URÍA MENÉNDEZ ABOGADOS, S.L.P.”), who will also assist the Director General in the performance of his duties.

In order to carry out the day-to-day management and administration of the Foundation, exercising the powers delegated to it by the Board of Trustees or the Executive Committee, the Board of Trustees appoints a Director General, a position that must be held by a person outside the Board of Trustees. Among his duties is that of acting as Secretary of the Executive Committee and the Working Committees, with voice but no vote. Since February 1, 2026, the position of Director General has been held by Mr. Santiago Barrenechea Elorrieta.
