Due to the above described epidemiological emergency from COVID-19 access to the offices of the registered office of the Company is suspended.

The number of shares for which the voting right is being exercised must be indicated in the form.

It should be noted that voting by mail is not compatible with the issuing of proxies nor electronic voting and must be undertaken directly by the person entitled to vote.

The ballot card must be signed by the person entitled to vote. Where a right to vote is held jointly, all the joint holders are required to sign. Unsigned ballot cards will not be taken into account. Ballot cards that do not indicate how the person intends to vote will be calculated for the purpose of determining the quorum at the Shareholders' Meeting, but will not be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the majority and the percentage of capital required to approve resolutions.

When sending the ballot card, place the page on which the voting intentions have been stated, duly signed, in a sealed envelope (envelope A). Place envelope A (containing the voting intentions) in a second envelope B together with the page containing details of the shareholder and the number of shares owned, duly signed and any documents attesting entitlement of the person signing the form to represent the shareholder indicated (legal representation). Envelope B must be received at the following address not later than 22 April 2020

The vote cast by mail may be revoked with a written declaration sent to the Company at the same address within the same deadline.

The ballot card offers the possibility for each item on the agenda of casting a “for, “against” or “abstain” vote regarding the resolution proposals by marking the appropriate box.

The ballot card is organized in two columns (Tables) which show the proposed resolutions of the Board of Directors or shareholders (Table A) and the possible options in case of changes or amendments to these proposals (Table B). In this respect, Table B provides for the vote cast in Table A to be (i) confirmed, (ii) revoked or (iii) amended. If the option is chosen to revoke the votes cast in Table A, the corresponding shares will not be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the majority and the perecentage of capital required to approve the resolution.

Voters by mail may only tick one box in each table. In the event of an unclear vote, the vote cast will not be considered valid and the corresponding shares will not therefore be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the majority and the share of capital required to approve the resolutions.
