1. General Information Transitgas AG (“the Company”), was founded on June 25, 1971 and was entered in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich on June 28, 1971. The Company is headquartered at Franklinstrasse 27, 8050 Zurich. The purpose of the Company is to construct, maintain and operate a natural gas transport system which stretches from the northern to the southern border of Switzerland, as well as transfer usage of this transport system to FluxSwiss Sagl and Swissgas AG or one of their subsidiaries under a lease agreement. The company has leased its facilities to FluxSwiss Sagl and Swissgas AG for use. Available transport capacity is allocated to FluxSwiss Sagl and Swissgas AG according to a fixed distribution key. The Company builds and operates this transport system, with multiple transfer stations, on Swiss territory. It can take all measures related to achieving its corporate purposes, acquire, manage and dispose of real estate and participate in other companies both at home and abroad. In addition, the Company itself can build a telecommunication network along this transport system or permit a third party to undertake such construction. The company can establish branches at home and abroad. However, distribution of natural gas in Switzerland is precluded. Share capital amounts to CHF 10’000’000, grouped into 46’000 fully paid-up registered shares of CHF 100 each in class A and 54’000 fully paid-up registered shares of CHF 100 each in class B. The number of full-time equivalents did not exceed 50 (p/y: 50) on an annual average basis. Risk assessment In order to identify risks and opportunities as early as possible, Transitgas AG regularly reviews factors that may affect the entire business environment, both internally and externally. This review is based on the financial data determined for the financial statements according to the Swiss Code of Obligations and the key risk indicators in accordance with regulatory requirements. A key component of this is the design and further development of the internal control system, which is used to address identified risks with the relevant, appropriate control measures and minimise the likelihood of them occurring. The appropriate use of risk management and control processes, which guarantee the identification, assessment, management, monitoring and communication of single risks and risk areas, ensures that all risks can be taken into account accordingly. One of the main objectives is to gain an understanding of the risks early on and reduce any potential risks of health, safety and environment. Notes to the financial statements 2022 40 Finance
