Holders of Shares: procedures for voting at the Meeting

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, on 18th March 2020, the Luxembourg government declared a state of emergency for a period of three months

and enacted, by way of decree, a number of temporary measures on the holding of meetings in companies and other legal entities. Among other measures, companies have been allowed, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in their articles of association and regardless of the expected number of participants, to hold general meetings of shareholders without a physical meeting and have also been allowed to require shareholders (or other participants in the meeting), subject to certain conditions, to exercise rights exclusively through a proxy holder designated by the company. Subsequently, a series of laws, including the most recent Law of 25th November 2020, extended the application of such measures until 30th June 2021.

In accordance with applicable laws and regulation, for safety reasons, the Company has resolved that shareholders may not attend the Meeting in person and shall, instead, exercise their rights in connection with the Meeting in the manner described in this Notice.

In accordance with the Luxembourg Law of 24th May 2011 (as amended by the Luxemburg Law of 1st August 2019) on the exercise of certain rights of shareholders in general meetings of listed companies (the "Shareholders' Rights Law"), the right to vote at the Meeting is restricted to those shareholders who are holders of shares of the Company on 19th April 2021 at 24:00 (midnight), Central European Time (the "Shareholders' Record Time").

Shareholders will be entitled to exercise their rights in connection with the Meeting exclusively through a proxy holder designated by the Company. No shareholder may attend the Meeting in person. A shareholder will be entitled to vote by proxy at the Meeting in respect of those shares of the Company which such shareholder duly evidences to hold at the Shareholders' Record Time. Any changes to a shareholder's holding of shares after the Shareholders' Record Time shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the right of such shareholder to vote by proxy at the Meeting.

If you are a holder of shares of the Company on the Shareholders' Record Time and you wish to vote by proxy at the Meeting, you must complete and return to the Company the AGMS Proxy Form, appointing a proxy holder designated by the Company and providing voting instructions in connection with the Meeting. The AGMS Proxy Form must be received by the Company ON OR BEFORE 19th APRIL 2021 AT 24:00 (MIDNIGHT), CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME (i.e. THE SHAREHOLDERS' RECORD TIME). Please note that in the event that the Company does not receive the AGMS Proxy Form, properly completed and signed, by the date indicated above, you will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

Any shareholder wishing to vote at the Meeting is required to provide reasonably satisfactory evidence to the Company (prior to the Meeting) as to the number of shares of the Company held by such shareholder on the Shareholders' Record Time. Such evidence of shareholding must be provided by means of a certificate issued by the relevant shareholder's bank or stockbroker, which must include at least shareholder's name, shareholder's registered office/address, shareholder status, number of shares held by the shareholder on the Shareholders' Record Time, the stock exchange on which the shareholder's shares trade and signature of the relevant shareholder's bank or stockbroker (the "Certificate of Shareholding"). The Certificate of Shareholding must be delivered to the Company as soon as possible and in any event must be received by the Company ON OR BEFORE 26th APRIL 2021 AT 24:00

(MIDNIGHT), CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME.
