A proxy may exercise all the shareholder's rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting, unless the power of proxy states otherwise. A proxy may grant further powers of proxy if permitted to do so under their power of proxy. A proxy may represent multiple shareholders and vote the shares of each shareholder differently. A shareholder whose shares are registered in more than one securities account may appoint a separate proxy to exercise the rights attached to the shares registered in each account. A shareholder whose shares are registered in an omnibus account may appoint separate proxies to exercise the rights attached to the shares registered in that account.

A power of proxy to participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting of Grupa Azoty S.A. and exercise voting rights must be in written or electronic form. As of the date of this notice, a form of electronic power of proxy is made available by the Company for downloading from https://tarnow.grupaazoty.com/. The grant of a power of proxy in electronic form must be notified to the Company using electronic means of communication. Along with a notification of granting a power of proxy in electronic form, the shareholder must send in scanned copies of the granted power of proxy, ID cards, passports or other documents enabling identification of the shareholder as the principal and of the appointed proxy. Where the power of proxy is granted by a legal person or an organisation referred to in Art. 33[1] of the Civil Code, a scanned copy of the principal's entry in the relevant register must also be submitted. Where the proxy is a legal person or an organisation referred to in Art. 331 of the Civil Code, a scanned copy of the proxy's entry in the relevant register must also be submitted.

with a notification of granting a power of proxy, the shareholder sends in an email address through which the Company will be able to communicate with the shareholder and the proxy. The Company may take appropriate steps to identify the shareholder and the proxy. The identification procedure may involve contacting the shareholder and the proxy via a return electronic message or a return call to confirm that the power of proxy has actually been granted. A power of proxy in electronic form does not need to be signed with a qualified electronic signature.

The procedure for identification of the principal applies accordingly to a notification of revoking a power of proxy. Proxy appointment or revocation notifications which are not compliant with the requirements set out above have no legal effect with respect to the Company.

It is the shareholder who decides on the way of granting a power of proxy and the Company is not liable for any errors in filled-in forms or actions by the holders of powers of proxy. Sending in the above documents in electronic form does not release the proxy from the obligation to produce his/her identification documents when the attendance list of persons authorised to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company is being prepared.

Shareholders' right to request that a certain matter be placed on the agenda of the

Extraordinary General Meeting

A shareholder or shareholders representing at least one twentieth of the Company's share capital may request that certain matters be placed on the agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
