The shareholder status is evidenced by any legal means and in any case based on information received by the Company until before the start of the Ordinary General Meeting by HCSD or through the above intermediaries in accordance with the above statutory provisions. A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting based on confirmations or notices under Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 provided by the intermediary unless the meeting refuses such participation for cause that justifies its refusal in accordance with the applicable provisions [Article 19 (1) of Law 4569/2018, Article 124 (5) of Law 4548/2018].

Please note that voting and participation rights do not require share blocking or the observance of any other similar procedure, which limits the possibility of selling and transferring them during the period between the recording date and the date of the General Meeting.

PARTICIPATION AND VOTING BY PROXY PROCEDURE

All shareholders may participate and vote, either in person or through a proxy, by signing the relevant proxy form and appoint up to three (3) proxies. Legal persons participate in the General Meeting by appointing up to three (3) natural persons as their proxies. However, if a shareholder holds shares shown in more than one securities account, such restriction does not prevent the shareholder from appointing different proxies for the shares shown in each securities account in relation to the General Meeting. A proxy acting on behalf of more than one shareholder may cast a different vote for each shareholder. A shareholder's proxy is obliged to notify the Company, before the beginning of the General Meeting, of any specific event that may be useful to shareholders in assessing the risk of the proxy serving interests other than those of the shareholder. For the purposes of this paragraph, a conflict of interest may arise in particular when the proxy: (a) is a shareholder exercising control of the Company or is another legal person or entity controlled by that shareholder; (b) is a member of the Board of Directors or the general management of the Company or of a shareholder controlling the Company, or of another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company; (c) is an employee or certified auditor of the Company or shareholder controlling the Company , or of another legal person or entity controlled by a shareholder controlling the Company; (d) is a spouse or first degree relative of one of the natural persons referred to under points (a) to (c).

A shareholder's proxy shall be appointed and revoked or replaced in writing by submitting the relevant proxy form to the Company's registered office or by fax (+30 2103499564), not later than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the General Meeting.
