[4] iSHARES VII PLC CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT The Board of Directors of the Entity (“the Board”) considers corporate governance matters and adherence to codes of best practice to be of the utmost importance. As Chairman of the Board, I believe that it has operated effectively throughout the financial year and that its role and its composition are well defined, appropriate and support the long-term development of the Entity. Overview of the Entity iShares VII public limited company (the "Entity") is an open-ended investment company with variable capital. The Entity was incorporated in Ireland on 9 April 2009 with limited liability and segregated liability between its Funds and is organised under the laws of Ireland as a Public Limited Company (“plc”) pursuant to the Companies Act 2014 (the "Companies Act") and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulation 2011 (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”) and is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "CBI"). The Entity is structured as an umbrella fund and comprised of separate funds (“Funds”) of the Entity. The term “Fund” shall be deemed to mean a Fund of the Entity. The term “BlackRock” is used to represent BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited. The investment objectives and policies of each Fund are set out in the prospectus. The Funds pursue strategies of either tracking or replicating the performance of a benchmark index in order to deliver the objectives of each Fund. The Manager has delegated the administration of the Entity and its Funds to State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Administrator”) including the calculation of the daily net asset value ("NAV"), and the preparation of the financial statements of the Entity subject to the overall supervision of the Board and the Manager. State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Registrar”) has also been appointed as the registrar of the Entity. The Entity has appointed State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Depositary”) as Depositary of the assets with responsibility for the safe keeping of such assets, pursuant to the UCITS Regulations. As part of its fiduciary responsibility to the Entity, the Depositary provides a certain level of ongoing oversight of the Entity, as well as reporting on the conduct of the Entity in each annual accounting period as set out in the Statement of the Depositary’s Responsibilities. In accordance with Guidance Note 4/07 on the Organisation of Management Companies issued by the CBI, the Board of Directors of the Manager has identified BlackRock group personnel who monitor and control the management functions as outlined therein. These BlackRock Group personnel report to the Manager and the Board on a regular basis. The management functions delegated by the Manager are subject to appropriate reporting and ratification procedures, which are designed to ensure that the appropriate reports are received in a timely fashion such that the Manager and the Board can discharge their duties, as part of the governance framework put in place by the Manager and the Entity. The Board reviews risk reporting on a regular basis together with an annual review of internal controls and risk management from the Manager. The Board The Board currently comprises seven Directors, four of whom are independent. The members of the Board were chosen for their range of skills and experience.

  • Story of the Alfa Romeo Factory and Plants : Part 1 the Early Portello
    Story of the Alfa Romeo factory and plants: Part 1 The early Portello Factory Patrick Italiano Special thanks go to Karl Schnelle, Indianapolis, USA, for his patient proofreading and editing of the English version of this text Over the last few years, we have had to deal with large changes in Alfa Romeo-related places and buildings, as we witnessed the destruction of the old Portello factory, step by step in the late 80s, and also the de-commissioning of the much more modern Arese plant. Sad tales and silly pictures of places and people once full of pride in manufacturing the most spirited cars in the world. As reported by historians, it has long been – and still is for few – a source of pride to belong to this “workers aristocracy” at A.L.F.A.. Places recently destroyed to make place for concrete buildings now containing commercial centres or anonymous offices, places where our beloved cars were once designed, developed and built. It’s often a mix of curiosity and thrill to have the chance to look behind the scenes and see into the sanctuary. Back in 1987, when the first part of Portello was being torn down, Ben Hendricks took us on a visit to the Portello plant in Het Klaverblaadje #40. That was, as Jos Hugense coined the title 15 years later, the “beginning of the end”. Today, one can see Alfas running on the Fiat assembly lines along with Fiat Stilos and at best Lancia Thesis. These Fiat plants are no longer the places where distinguished and passionate brains try to anticipate technical trends five years into the future, thus ensuring that the new generation of Alfas keep such high company standards, as Ing.
