Shareholders who, as at the Reference Date, are registered in the shareholders registry of the Bank, kept by Depozitarul Central S.A. may attend the OGSM in person or by proxy, each shareholder having the right to appoint another natural or legal person as representative for participating and voting on his behalf in the OGSM, in accordance with the provisions of art. 105 alin. (11) - (16) of Law no. 24/2017.

When participating by proxy, shareholders shall appoint representatives by special proxies, prepared in accordance with the sample of special proxy provided to the shareholders by the Bank, both in Romanian and in English, or by a general proxy granted under the conditions presented below.

General and special proxy

The general proxy is valid only if: (i) it is granted for a period not exceeding 3 years, unless the parties have expressly provided for a longer period, (ii) it expressly enables the representative of the shareholder who granted such proxy to vote on all issues under debate in the general meetings of Bank's shareholders, including acts of disposal and (iii) it is given by the shareholder, acting in

capacity of customer, to an intermediary, as defined by art. 2 par. (1) point 19 of Law 24/2017, or to a lawyer. Shareholders of the Bank shall not be represented in the OGSM based on a general proxy given to a person who is subject to a conflict of interest that may arise in particular in the following cases:

• a) is a majority shareholder of Bank, or other entity controlled by such shareholder;
• b) is a member of an administrative, management or supervisory body of the Bank, of a majority shareholder or of a controlled entity as provided in section a) above;
• c) is an employee or an auditor of the Bank or of a majority shareholder or of a controlled entity as provided in section a) above;

According to par. (4) of article 200 of FSA Regulation no. 5/2018 a shareholder may appoint a single person to represent him in the OGSM. However, if a shareholder holds shares of the Bank in several securities accounts, this restriction shall not prevent that shareholder to appoint a distinctive representative for shares held in each securities account with respect to a specific general meeting. Nonetheless, the shareholder is forbidden to express different votes in respect of the shares held by him in the share capital of the Bank.

The special proxies shall contain specific voting instructions for each item on the agenda of the OGSM and the representative shall have the obligation to vote in accordance with the instructions

of the shareholder who appointed him. If there are discussions during OGSM, according to the legal provisions, on items not included on the agenda, the representative may cast the ballot regarding these items in accordance with the interest of the represented shareholder.

A special proxy is valid exclusively for the meeting for which it was requested.

Moreover, according to article 200, par. 5 of FSA Regulation no. 5/2018 a shareholder may appoint one or several alternate representatives by special proxy to ensure that shareholder's representation in the OGSM in case the representative appointed by special proxy is unable to fulfill its mandate. If several alternate representatives are appointed by proxy, the order in which they are to exercise their mandate shall be set.

In accordance with the provisions of article 105, para (11) of Law no. 24/2017, in case a shareholder is represented by a credit institution that provides custody services, he may vote in OGSM based on the voting instructions received by means of electronic communication, without being necessary the drafting of a special or general proxy by the shareholder.

For this purpose, the representative of the custodian will provide evidence that the shareholder is the customer of the custodian and that the representative was appointed by the custodian to represent the shareholder in OGSM.

In case of the special proxy, an original copy, filled in English or Romanian language and signed by the shareholder, accompanied by a copy of the identity document of that shareholder (in case of natural persons – bulletin/identity card, and respectively for legal persons – bulletin/identity card of the legal representative registered in the list of Bank shareholders issued by Depozitarul Central S.A.), shall be submitted to the Bank's registered office in Bucharest, district 2, 42 Pipera Road, Globalworth Plaza building, floors 10, according to article 11.2. of the Articles of Association - 2 working days before the general meeting - respectively by April 22, 2024, until the Bank's closing hour 17:30, in sealed envelope, clearly inscribed with upper case letters "FOR THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF APRIL 25/26, 2024" and the representative shall carry with him an original copy of his special proxy in the OGSM.
