Proof of shareholder's status is evidenced by CSD by electronic means via direct electronic connection of the Company with the DSS files.

As regards the Company, the right of attendance and vote in the General Meeting is recognized only for the persons with status of Shareholder as at the relevant Recording Date.

Each ordinary registered share gives one vote.
Attendance and voting by proxy
The Shareholders may attend the General Meeting and vote therein either in person or by proxy. Every Shareholder may appoint up to three (3) proxies and if the shareholder is a legal entity they may appoint up to three (3) natural persons as proxies. In case any shareholder has Company's shares recorded in more than one securities accounts, such shareholder may appoint different proxies to represent the shares recorded in each securities account. A proxy acting for and on behalf of more than one shareholders may vote differently for each shareholder.
Pursuant to the relevant provisions of article 19 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors, notes that the technical requirements, as necessary to secure the holding of a General Meeting by electronic means or the shareholders' distant voting at the General Meeting, are not met.
