A shareholder participates in the General Meeting and votes either in person or by proxy. Each shareholder, natural or legal person, may appoint up to three (3) proxies for a single General Meeting or for as many Meetings as take place within a certain period of time.

The shareholder's proxy shall disclose to the Company prior to the beginning of the General Meeting any specific facts that may be useful to the shareholders in assessing the risk of the proxy serving interests other than the shareholder's interests. For the purposes of this paragraph, a conflict of interest may arise in particular when the proxy: a) is a shareholder who controls the Company or another legal person or entity controlled by such shareholder; b) is a member of the Board of Directors or the management of the Company in general or a shareholder who controls the Company or another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder who controls the Company, c) is an employee or auditor of the Company or of a shareholder controlling the Company or of another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company; d) is the spouse or first-degree relative of one of the natural persons in cases a) to c).

Legal entities shall participate in the General Meeting through their representatives.

The appointment and the revocation or replacement of the shareholder's representative or proxy shall in any case be made in writing or by electronic means and in particular by email and shall be submitted to the Company at least forty-eight (48) hours before the date set for the General Meeting, i.e. no later than May 13th, 2024 at 17:00 for the initial Meeting and May 20th, 2024 at 17:00 for any Repeated Meeting or, in the case of shareholders identified through intermediaries, through confirmations or notices pursuant to Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 provided by the intermediaries.
