A. Right to participate and vote in the General Meeting

At the General Meeting of May 10th, 2024, entitled to participate and vote are only the physical and legal persons that have the status of shareholder at the start of the fifth (5th) day before the meeting date of the Annual General Meeting, that is on May 5th, 2024 ("Record Date").

The record date of May 5th, 2024, is the record date in the case of the Repetitive General Meeting on May 16, 2024 (if the quorum, as required by the Law for lawful convening on any of the items of the original agenda is not reached on 10.05.2024).

For the Company, shareholder who is entitled to participate in the General Meeting and to exercise the right to vote is the one that is registered on the Record Date in the Dematerialized Securities System (DSS) of the company "HELLENIC CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY (ATHEXCSD)" or the one identified as such based on the relevant date through registered intermediaries or other intermediaries in compliance with the provisions of the legislation (Law 4548/2018, Law 4569/2018, Law 4706/2020 and Regulation (EU) 2018/1212) as well as the Rulebook of Operation of the "HELLENIC CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY" (Government Gazette B/1007/16.03.2021).

The proof of shareholder status is done by any legal means and in any case based on information received by the Company just before the commencement of the General Meeting by ATHEXCSD or through the above intermediaries in accordance with the above provisions. A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting on the basis of confirmations or notifications of Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 provided by the intermediary, unless the Meeting refuses this participation

for a good reason that justifies its refusal in accordance with the provisions in force (art. 19 par. 1 of Law 4569/2018, art. 124 par. 5 of Law 4548/2018).

Exercising these rights does not require either the blocking of the shares of the beneficiary or any other similar procedure, which limits the option to sell and transfer these shares during the period between the Record Date and the General Meeting.

Shareholders that do not comply with the deadline in par. 4 of article 128 of Law 4548/2018, that is they did not submit in writing or by electronic means the appointment of proxies or representatives to the Company, at least forty-eight (48) hours before the appointed date of the General Meeting, can participate at the General Meeting, unless the General Meeting refuses this participation for good reason which justifies this refusal.
