Legal entities may participate in the General Meeting by appointing up to three (3) natural persons as their representatives. Nevertheless, if a Shareholder holds shares of the Company, which appear in more than one securities account, the previous restriction does not prevent such Shareholder to appoint different proxies for the shares which appear in each securities account regarding the General Meeting. A proxy who acts for more than one Shareholder may vote differently on behalf of each Shareholder.
The proxy of the Shareholder is obliged to disclose to the Company, before the commencement of the General Meeting, any specific fact, which would be useful to the Shareholders in order to determine whether there is a risk of the proxy serving interests other than the Shareholder's interests. Conflict of interest within the context of above paragraph may arise in particular in cases where the proxy:
a) is a controlling Shareholder of the Company or is another legal person or entity controlled by such Shareholder;
b) is a member of the Board of Directors or of 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 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 a relative to the first degree of one of the natural persons referred to in cases a) to c) above.
The appointment and the revocation of a shareholder's proxy must be made in writing and must be notified to the Company also in writing, within at least three (3) days prior to the date of the General Meeting.
